N 'FARMERS' WEEK AT EDUCA Men and Women of Ideas and Comp FARMERS' WEEK AT KANSAS EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE Men and Women of the Soil Exchange Ideas and Compete for Prizes. (DR. MATTHEW A. PERKINS) A large delegation attended the thirteenth annual conference of the Sunflower Agricultural Association, November 11 to 13, at the Kansas Educational and Industrial Institute. This was the best meeting of its kind ever held in Kansas. A great number of Kansas' wealthy and prosperous farmers were present. At each session various subjects were discussed relative to the management of farms, farm life and its profits. These discussions were interesting, instructive and uplifting. Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock, Mr. H. J. Corwine, mayor of Topeka, delivered a welcome to the visitors. Mr. J. G. Groves, potato king, Edwardville, also delivered an address in which he earnestly urged the men of his race to buy farms and stay on them. The unrilling of the portrait of the late Charles Groves, son of the Potato King, took place Wednesday J. evening at b o'clock. Young Groves was a graduate of the Kansas State Agricultural college at Manhattan, and a former leader among the black Splendid programs were rendered at each session. Other addresses were made by the following: Mr. J. R. Rodgers, of Ottawa, one of the state's most successful farmers, Editor William A. Bettis, of the Wichita Protest; Hon. Ellisha Scott, Hon Jas. H. Guy, Mrs. Emma Gaines, Dr. M. L. Ross, Dr. T. P. Martin, Mrs. C. C. Bailey and Mrs. Bollier Watkins, Excellent music was furnished by students of the Institute: Instrumental solo by Miss Cora L. Boulder, Miss Marjorie Kelly sweet) sang several selections, Clarinet solo, Mr. Gen. Thornton, Interesting remarks were made by the Principal of the Kansas Educational and Industrial Institute, Geo. R. Bridgeforth. The school has in training a large class in agriculture. These were introduced to the Conference Thursday morning by the Principal. The physical culture exhibition with Miss Kelley, teacher, and the military exhibition and the drills by the small boys under the leadership of Mr. Anderson were especially good and very interesting. The following new officers were installed Thursday morning by Mr J G. Groves. J R. Roget, president J. C. Carson, first vice-president. Mrs. M. G Bolin, second vice-president Mr D Wash, thrid vice-president Mr J G. Groves, treasurer Mr. Arthur Emery, secretary Mr W M Foster, chairman executive committee Miss, it P.

Rogets, president Copeka lowing resolutions: "We, the members of the State Sunflower Agricultural Association, assembled in its tenth annual session wish to advise the Negro farmers of Kansas: kind num. osper. To buy land, diversify your crops, stop retiring and moving to town. Stay on your farm, die there, and be buried with the people who know and love you. The Sunflower Agricultural Association is willing to aid in objects man- 2-We call attention to the many young farmers leaving the country for town during the winter season's work. We advise, if you have labored hard, as you must have done, that you take your winter in attending the Farmers' School or Short Courses, taking a little time for improvement. The Negro boys and girls, men and women, should be given a chance for recreation in winter schools and short courses for improvement in their general education. 4 We oppose any effort on the part of anyone to attempt to dug the good name of Kansas into the category of a few neighboring states whose citizens seem to have taken the law into their own hands. 5-We urge upon the Negroes to use this extension workers sent out by the State and Federal governments to help them solve their farm and home problems. 6. We would urge the Negroes everywhere to go to school, and not only finish the grade school, but enter trade and professional schools and graduate, to the end of following some useful trade or profession, which will add to our usefulness as citizens in this country. 7. We urge the colored women and girls to organize themselves into clubs for personal and home improvements. 8. We would urge the organization of an employment office, to assist colored men and women in securing employment as soon as they reach cities, towns, or country. 9. We strongly urge the improvement of health conditions among the race, the grasping of the present industrial opportunity, the continuance of a good race relation, and improvement of educational conditions. 10- We the Sunflower Agricultural Association stands for 100 per cent. Americanism and to this end recommend that all farmers remain at their post. J G GROVES, Wyardette County J. C. ROGERS, Franklin Count). Wm. FOSTER, Omaha County. The industrial exhibit was the best in the history of the Association. The spacious gymnasium was beautifully decked with huge vegetables, caused fruits, culinary art, poultry, dressmaking, machinery and domestic art. The skilled persons and students who prepared articles for this wonderful exhibit, deserves great credit. Principal Geo, R.

This state is one of the wealthiest in the Union and produces every thing known in the commercial kingdon. Here you find the wealthy colored people of the world. They own millions of acres of the best farm land underlaid with oil and minerals of all kind. If it were not for the low, mean designating white men who lay in wait to rob the colored families, old and young out of their large royalties on oil, the race would be owning and creating large buildings and flats as well as entering the commercial world on large banks. But the counts will not appoint a colored man guardian over colored orans or estates owned by colored individuals although we heard of several instances where banks offered security upwards of millions for colored man to serve and the courts turned them down so there are millions of dollars being produced every year for colored who never or hear of it. Those white sharks in this out to white people or pay infamous prices for real estate as investment for which some friends get rich. A blind man can see the face of why. Should a white man seek and present to most any lowhanded method to control colored people with and at the same time hate them is more than we can understand. He will sit to suit any underhanded scheme to outrage the same people for whom he is guardian. Those should be a colored action on the port of the colored town and fat whisked wants to enact a law bidding this class of whites be going guardians and administrators of colored estates.

Vlan, then the white man should not seek Beggs, his money. We find the school system for the colored people as a whole to be ten to the core. Where they have about four would be high schools in the state for colored people, there ought to be thirty first class institutions of learning. The equipment in the buildings amounts to almost nothing. The schools in town and counties are a joke. The white man does not care anything about the education of the colored south and the colored people do not exercise their rights in compelling them to enact laws that will raise the necessary revenue for building and equipping and maintaining colored schools. For instance the colored taxpayers' money in cities and towns goes to support the white schools in the cities and towns while the colored get their money for equipment and maintenance from the country districts where the farmer continuously howls for lower taxes. A large majority of the districts are white one can readily see what hard shot the colored people are having in this state for education. One long college at Lausan to serve for literary, agricultural and trades for this large colored population in Oklahoma. The white people have oral, and in the face of this man colored people think this one institution is enough while others try to harass the president and fault their one long school by south fourth and Fifth graders this college when they could to be in a high school as no one can made for this class of students Langston. If the parents would not test and demand better education facilities they could secure it. They'd better talk to the white man and tell him of his crime on the train against education. Stone in his men of the race who are doing their best for better everything along educational lines, and never let up on The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. PRIZE FRUITS SHOWN AT THE FARMERS' CONVENTION the class who are contented with any old thing, just so they are drawing a salary. No one should be allowed to teach unless they showed the spirit of progress. Land of Prosperity. We found everybody busy making money. Cotton is king in most of the places we visited—selling from 11 cents to 15 cents per pound in the seed; lint 35 cents to 40 cents. A two-horse wagon load brings over $230.00. Cotton pickers get from $2.50 to $1.50 per hundred and some pick as much as 590 pounds daily. Renters are purchasing farms every day. This shows a healthful sign as colored men have large families and if properly managed they will control the cotton industry of that state within the next ten years. Operating Business Enterprises . We found colored men engaged in the mercantile business; one doing over $100 000 a year in a mixed town, colored drug store doing a thriving business in a mixed town, colored confectionaries, operating gins and threating machines; in fact we found the race doing many things along the line of advancement. A. M. E. Conference in Session We visited the annual conference of the A M E. church, which was presided over by that digitized Christian gentleman, Rt Rev Bishop J. M. Connors, in the city of Tulsa and also at Oklahoma City. He is the only Bishop of that connection who is successfully operating two colleges one in Little Rock Arkansas the other in Tallahassee, Okla. He says the colored people should agree themselves toward education that the whites of the South are not incarcerated in the black man's education, and it is up to the Negro to look out for himself along this line. He is an excellent presiding officer, full of push and sim and believers in a man long true and firm to a cause. We have never visited a conference unison and reverence shown a bishop as was shown to Bishop Connors at those two places. Mr J M Keys, the millionaire oil and real estate king, and president of the Flipper Day Key college at Tulahasse, says Bishop Connors is a man he can conceiveously follow and support that his whole soul and heart is in Christian education and he is honest and square. Mr Keys says he does not hesitate to advance any amount necessary to advance this school if the Bishop requests. They are now installing an electric plant for the school which will furnish light and man; other things for the plce. Bishop Connors raised over $37,000 in his district for educational purposes. We visited President Marquess at Langston University, where over 400 students are being trained for the steward duties of life. We have visited this school for years, and this was the third time since President Marquess has been in charge and must confess there is a vast difference now and when he first took hold. The student body looks one hundred per cent better in every respect. For neatness and department they cannot be exciled. President Marquess is now finishing the boys dormitory, and hopes to finish the laundry by January, 1920. Nolwisting the strong opposition to higher education by a large majority of whites, Prof Marquess is to be compounded on his diplomatic dealing in securing a larger appropriation for the school than was expected. If the leading and sensible colored people will consult and work with him they will be able to give this institution what it needs and add another one in some other region of the state. What Oklahoma needs is a college for literary training, and another for agricultural and industrial training. The whites have what they need, why not the colored? We find the leading citizens praising President Marquess for the good work he is doing. One of the important institutions of Oklahoma is the Park Sanitarium at Gatchew owned by Dr H N Conrad Here you find an institution equipped with all the modern appliances for the treatment of every thing to which the flesh is heir and a corps of specialists and nurses Dr Conrad is one of the best physicians in the West and many a sick person has been sent home restored to health whom friends had almost given up in despair. In course of conversation he shall be could use two good nurses Dr Conrad owes Price $1.50 Per Year the property which consists of one large building with several small ones for the patients. Review of Towns and Cities. ... In our next issue we will tell of the activities of the race in the several towns and cities visited by ye scribe. Theatrical Circuit. One of the greatest concerns in Oklahoma is the theatrical circuit owned by Mrs. John Williams, of Tulsa. She owns the buildings at Tulsa and leases the houses at Muskogee and Okmulgee. She also owns a first-class fruit store and confectionery including the building.. AN APPEAL TO MRS. WILSON Topeka, Kansas, Novemberbr 19th, 1919 Wilson. Washington. D. C. Dear Madam:—On behalf of the Kanaas Defense Society which represents the sentiment of the Colored race of America, allow me as their President to extend hearty congratulations on the recovery of your devoted husband and President and sympathize with you in your hours of worry and pray Almighty God for a speedy recovery whereby you may be able to return to the happy thoughts of a pleasant life and he to his earnest and faithful duties. Mrs. Wilson, knowing you to represent the highest type of christian Womenhood of America, we appeal to you to use your influence with the Department of Justice in securing rights of life and liberty of several poor colored men who have been willfully convicted in the courts of Arkansas, at Helena, Phillips County. These Colored men organized to protect themselves against unjust discrimination against the colored farmers engaged in raising cotton, by the Cotton Growers' Association, which it is said is cheating and robbing the colored planters and laborers. It seems that the Court, Jury, and the entire list of officers are in league with the Cotton Growers Association to force the entire Colored race into involuntary Poorage. The Constitution of the United States demands that all trials should be by a jury of its Peers. This being a Federal question and the men convicted cannot be represented in the Courts by proper representatives for fear of being mobbed, Counsel will not risk being mobbed, Counsel will not the rescue of these unfortunate men. It is believed that men who were members of the mob are now being allowed to sit as jurors to try these poor colored men for their lives. It is almost worth the lower class of white men of the South predominates in the south and they think they are duty bound to treat the Colored race as brutes. If it were not for that higher Christian class of the south like yourself, who are in the minority, the Colored race would suffer more than the Armenians. It is almost worth the life of an honest southern white person to expose the rights of the Colored race. In the south the lower element of whites are not burning, lynching and robbing the Colored people to such an extent that it is becoming popular with the masses. The state, county and city officials wink and censure at the law breakers. The United States Government with instructions from the Attorney General's department can order an investigation and take an appeal from the State Courts of Arkansas to the Federal Courts from this infamous proceeding now being held in Helena, Arkansas. Seven minutes only for juries to bring in a verdict for murder in the first degree. We believe you will do your part in this matter and we wait with patience and prayer for your services in defending the helpless. The crimes against the Belgians don't begin to measure up to the crimes and atrocities committed against the Colored people of the south by the low loss of white people of the south.

Dear Sir' Will you please join in with Senator Curtis, Congressman Campbell and Senator Capper in a resolution for an investigation of the outrageous, wholesale conviction of colored men, who have been sentenced to prison and others to be electrocuted? Trials were recently had at Helena, Phillips County, Arkansas. The trials were a farce and travested on justice They were not tried by a jury of the peers as guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States; we rather think that the jurors consisted of white men who instigated and participated in this riot. The Governor of that state has already given out to the press, that they ought to be electrocuted before he reviewed the case. Those who are in authority to execute the laws of that state, both local and state adhere to the lawless element of whites who have no respect for the rights of colored citizens. No lawyer or representative of note dare to offer his service in behalf of the defense, for fear of being intimidated or driven out of the state. The colored farmers and laboring class of colored people not only of their earnings, but their legal rights. Peonage is carried on through farce trials and kangaroo courts, which is winked at and partially sanctioned by those in authority. The twelve million colored people of the United States now beg of you and the Representatives of Kansas, who are now in Congress to uphold the Constitution and the Amendment thereto, and at least make some effort to clothe the colored man with all of the rights and benefits of any other citizen, under the Constitution and its amendments As long as southern states are allowed to make a mockery of the Constitution and its amendments, the colored race will never enjoy the rights that were intended. It is the duty of you gentlemen, by a resolution, as well as an appeal to the National Government, Congress, the Executive and Judicial Departments are always able to find a remedy to make the State's Rights a second consideration. The Kansas Defense Society does hope that you gentlemen, will use your honorable efforts and not a sitton to these outrages that are willfully being carried on in several states of the Union. We have some resolution will be offered by you gentlemen, whom we appeal to, and that such resolution will be pushed through both branches of Congress and some definite stand taken on what is complained of. This is the prayer of twelve million colored people. Shall Arkansas and other southern states continue to nullify the Constitution, and deny the United States Government or shall the National Government rule Arkansas and other southern states as provided in the Constitution and Amendment?
