Plaindealer

- Our Job Rooms are Prepared to Care for Anything You Have to Print---Give us a Trial Order MAY THE NEW YEAR BRING HAPPINESS TO OUR FRIENDS Twenty-First Year. The editor and owner of this little sheet, which has been made so on account of the scarcity of white paper, wishes to thank the many readers and advertisers for their patronage and loyal support during the past fifty-two weeks and beg for a continuance of the same. I wish each and all a happy, prosperous New Year. With this issue the Plaindealer starts upon its twenty-second year, and we had hoped to have returned to the original size—eight pages the first of the year, but instead of paper getting more plentiful and cheaper, the supply has grown shorter and the price went up, and now white paper is at a premium and we have to beg to get it. The Plaindesier is not situated like most race journals who only have a desk, typewriter, telephone, dictionary and a wise look, while the white unions are getting out their papers, and they could not work on their own papers if they desired nor could they put one of their own race to work on the lyotype, press or imposing stone in the place where they pay out hundreds of dollars of colored subscriber's money and get no returns or labor. We are building our plant on a concrete foundation, giving the race something in return for their money. We have linotype, cylinder press job presses all run by individual motors, and in this shop several have learned the trade and gone out to help other race print shops. We are now in need of a good operator, job printer, several travelling agents and ad solicitors. People with push energy and a little common horse sense are the only ones who need apply. The Plaindealer is thankful to most all of the grand lodges of Kansu who have given us their minutes and other job printing. Most all of the grand officers are loyal to race enterprises; now and then we have a few who can't break away from "Marse John." John. The Masons, Household of Ruth, Eastern Star, General Assembly of the Christian church, State Federation of Colored Women's clubs are like the Rock of Gibbner. They want to make The Plaindealer and its job printing plant which employees from six to eight people a success and the only way it can be done is to give to your work. us. You The Topeka Plainlander is read for its editorial spirit which stands up for the rights of the people and especially those who rights are impaired by faulty legislation and weak officials. You can read The Plainlander's editorial for twenty years back and they will inspire We are working hard to get a heart on badness copies of the Houston court district of Kansas. Our attorney is saw the attorney for the courtment he not find answer can be argued. We hope to have the case up in January. The Plainland has caused important matters to be investigated pertaining to the race which brought good results. We carefully proved that we are not asleep on the job when we gave the governor of Arkansas the queue on beholding the leading men of both races together on the Plainland plot and other race disturbances, and as a teetht, the condemned men will have a chance for a trial. Our foreman and manager, Mr Ira Smith, who has been with The Plaindealer since its birth, joins in wishing the patrons success and happiness during the next two months. He is very anxious to secure the services of a good assistant. Mr Smith knows the mechanical part of paper machine used in modern printing. He knows every detail of the new business - imposes book forms from two to thirty two pages and can set up any kind of job that is laid before him. He is ready and willing to impart his thorough knowledge of the business to young ladies or gentlemen who are willing and destined to learn as he has done in the past. Mr. Smith is a young single man yet to be captured. Mrs. Rae Morgan Harris uncle of Topeka, came to The Plainlandle some five years ago, and has developed into an important factor in the operation of this plant. Aside from bookkeeping and looking after the financial end of the institution she is what might be formed a lady of all work. She runs the presses, job and cellular, operates the linotype, and performs such other services as be required of a printer. Morgan her 5-year old son, is also on the job and is always on the job in the papers, keeps files and arranges "furniture" in the case for the printers. He is a most valuable able child—never forgets a thing and goes about his work humming some popular heir like any other. He delights in being around those and all hall him as the new format and manager of The Plainlandle. Mrs. Vattie A. Perkins sits and joined this staff some three years ago She had no knowledge of newspaper work, but by close application to business, has developed into a splendid writer and is so recognized by the public Her "specialists" have been read with pleasure and profit. She too will be with us the coming year if some gallant knight does not convince her that she is a better housekeeper than she is a newspaper writer. Miss Perkins desires to extend the season's greetings to those who have so generously assisted her in her work. Mrs. Clara Edwards Kirk, Topekan who has resided in the Northwest for a number of years, came to The Plaindealer less than a year ago. She has proven herself a bright, intelligent lady by the manner in which she takes hold of the work about the shop. She is one of those cheerful, good natured souls who never worries or says a thing can't be done. It's remarkable how rapidly she is learning the work and bids falg, to become a proficient printer. She "sets" jobs, ads etc, and operates the presses and linotype. Mrs. Arnicholas Chiles Williams is again with us. She might be termed a veteran, having spent several years in the service before her marriage. She was the first woman of her race to operate a lhotie in this section of the country, and of course is making a hand at that work at present. She is very capable and efficient and her assistance are highly appreciated by the management. Mr Geo. K. Williams, graduate printer, who completed the trade at Western University under the direction of Mr. John C. Wood, several years ago, is filling a big chair in this office. After completing the printer's trade Mr. Williams never cared to follow it so was made registrar of the institution from which he finished his trade, and remained several years However, when he joined The Plain-dealer and took charge of our job department, it found him still in possession of all the knowledge and skill acquired in years past, and his ideas were in perfect harmony with the high class work turned out by this office Mr. Williams is all that could be hoped for and The Plain-dealer hopes to retain his services. We print The Paul Jones Magazine, The Banthe Brotherhood Bulletin and the St. John Recorder, and we want to express our thanks to the managers of these publications for their patronage, and wish them a year of prosperity and happiness. They espouse a noble cause and are worthy of the sort of the public. Again wishing all a happy, prosper Again wishing all a happy, prosperous New Year. I am A VOICE FROM MISSISSIPPI --- Indul and Miss. The firm were successful in receiving more this year that was better for the cotor. They arrived from New York to they are buying large trucks of farm land and building beutiful houses. They are also buying automobiles to complete the comforts of these fine homes. One thing I am very proud to note is that our people are having tame business sense. A number of our people in this part of the country have gone in business for the industry operating grocery stores, doing stores, markets, cities, etc., and they are receiving the patronage of race men and women which means that they are learning the great lesson to teach each other. In this lesson we shall prosper as a race, and become united and strong. I have enjoyed very much reading The topper Phalidar while on my visit. It is like ray of sunshine during a cloudy day, while thinking over the race problem of the south. (MRS.) E. N. BLACK GEARY. OKLAHOMA.

Buffaloes Rout the Western University Tigers in Gruelling Contest —Was Tenth Annual Game In spite of the frenzy field and the bitter cold wind that blew from the north, football fans witnessed one of the hardest battles ever fought in Tampa. The crowd was alive from whistle to whistle. Never before did the stands receive more thrills or show more life. The cheer leaders kept the roofters working as hard as the team. The team uncovered the most fight and form it has shown this season. It would be impossible to pick the stars. Evey man put forth his best effort. Substitutions were made for only two players in the first line-up. Morris going in for Burton at right half and Logan for Hall at left end. Capt. Lee Payne, of the Buffaloos, won the toss and chose the north goal with the wind to his back, Western kicked off.

I am a subscriber of your paper, and as I have never wrote to you before, please allow me space in your paper. I am glad to say that I sure did enjoy this Thanksgiving. I felt proud to have my son, William with me. Through the tender murders of the Lord he has come back from across the seas. I am glad to say that I am proud of my son and I would be proud if I could say that I had slick like him. I wouldn't be ashamed to own them. I will say that the one who does not love him does not know him. I gave him a big turkey dinner on Thanksgiving and he invited all of his old comrades. We had plenty of good things to eat and everybody feasted to their hearts a content My son went to a public sale and bought me three big, fat legs, weight 250 each and paid $15. Do you think he could beat it? We will butter tomorrow. We don't mean to stop eating. Yours truly, F. A. REED A KANSAN.IN THE SOUTH Finds Dixie a Hard Place for Blacks Ft. Scott, Kansas.—I made a trip to Oklahoma, Arkansas, Tennessee and Kentucky. I went to visit my people whom I had not saw for forty-one years. I left the state of Tennessee the fall of 1878. I found them very well at this time. The people of Tennessee are doing fairly good when one considers the high cost of living and low wage scale they receive. Wages run from $1 up to $1.60 per day and board yourself. You crop on one-half and the store will carry you until cotton, corn and cane is all gathered and then you settle up with the owner. Sometimes you get out of his debt and sometimes you do not see anything for your toll. A black man in the Southland sees a hard time. I have been there and saw for myself, and what my eyes see my heart is bound to believe. There's some difference in the large cities, but I am talking about the small towns in general. I visited Lewisburg, Lansville, Columbia and Cornersville, Tenn. I like Columbia better than any town in the South and I don't love it. There was some land in the south part of Cornersville that was about to be sold to colored people of that city, and the whites held a mass meeting and stepped the deal; told the owner that if he all to the Negroes they would kill him. The whites bought the land and are going to take all the rest if they will not sell and believe we they give them notice to that effect, giving them until Christmas to make up their minds. Some of the white people told the blacks it would be better for them to sell and leave than to try to hold on and lose all they had by fire. As far as the black people are concerned, I would not want to stay with any better people. They treat you fine and make you welcome. The churches are together, the people are together and the judges are together, and lodge and church build a church and a hall together all under one roof. If the church calls for help they come together in a body as one and I must say this one thing. We the people of the black race must get together, for the time is coming when we must stand up for what is right. When a member of the race compulses a wrong, we must bring him or her to justice and let the law take its course. I do not believe in upholding or shielding a man or woman in their wrong doing. Let them offer for it no matter what penalty the law may impose. But the time has arrived when men and women must stand up for truth. The Old Fellows are moving along lowly. The grand lodge lost $100 but they are going back to the old Ida mark. Low. The ladies at Gorilla still have nine members on the tell and still putting new ones and has the rest of money in the treasury. They have started endorsment as a pro to from 15 to 18 years a quarter from 10 to 50 years $100 per contract, from 50 to 100 years $120 per quarter. The first sent $70 second sent $100, for three years $200 and for five years $500, so years $500. Did that 77 will have to set some kind of proof. I'm not ashamed of Kansas. We stand second to most throughout the United States. As far as I have been I would not lay down Kansas for my district I have been in All of the lodges in the South outnumbered that is all. Stand up for Kansas and stand for the right and we will go over the top. We have had a hard time here, but I hope we will never see that time again, and the cause was bad management of the Order. The heart of man was too soft, did not have the truth in his heart and the wall fell down, could not stand the test. But we are on the level with the world. I'm not ashamed of this old Order, for all men walk the same line to Father Moram, Isaac and Jacob. I bade the Odd Paths of Kansas and Tennessee Gods spaced, Yours in D. L. T. J. T. Rosson, D. G. D ENID, OKLAHOMA. Editor Phildecker: Allow me space in your paper to speak for the people of Eldh, as I am a member of the Grayson Chapel Baptist church and want the world to know the great work we are accomplishing in the Christian line; and I can say for truth that Grayson Chapel is always loyal and ready to help those who can't help themselves. So frequently we are called upon and are always ready to lend a helping hand. We have successfully obtained a way to be sent to the foreign field about December, 1919. I do thank God for opening the way for this great work to be accomplished. We have a live church and a live mission. I feel that every Baptist church ought to make up their minds to do more for the foreign fields in the future than we have done in the past. Let us say as good, old Paul and Lord, what will Thou have me do? I am obedient children we will Price $1.50 Per Year do and go where He wants us to go, for we know that bbedience is better than sacrifice. I do hope that the Missionary Societies as they read this will be more influenced to take hold of the gospel plow as we have never before; and above all things know that God is on our side and conquer we shall, this promise never falls. I am one of the least in this great race, and by the grace of God will live and die the same. My pastor is Iev. W. L. Humphrey. MRS. SADIE LISK, 1305 W. Broadway. ENJOINS GRAND MASTER HENRY I. MONROE Arkansas Valley Lodge No. 21, A, F, and A, M. Bought Permanent In-junction Restraining the Grand Master from Setting up Another Masonic Lodge in Wichita-Judge Dismisses Case and Advises That Grand Lodge is the Proper Court. From The Wichita Protest When Hon. H. I. Monroe, grandmaster of Prince Hall Grand Lodge, A. F. and A. M., came to Wichita on last Saturday, December 20th, he was somewhat surprised to have the sheriff of this county serve him with process out of the district court, temporarily restraining him from granting a charter or dispensation to any other body of men or setting up another subordinate Masonic lodge in Wichita. The action was brought by Arkansas Valley lodge No. 21, A. F. and A. M. and came on for final hearing December 24th. Attorneys Martin and Spears for the plaintiff and O. H. Bentley for the Grandmaster. Plaintiff introduced testimony to the effect that Arkansas Valley lodge was a corporation and owned real estate incumbered to the amount of $3,000 and that if another lodge was instituted in Wichita, plaintiff's ability to liquidate its incumbrance would be very materially effected. Chas. P. Edwards, O. T. Taylor, Dr. G. P. Brown, W. H. Clark, Walt Thompson, Freeman L. Martin and Ambrose Morris testified for the plaintiff. Mr. Taylor testified that if the new lodge was set up, "the standard of Masonry would be lowered; however, he did not explain how the correspondence that passed between the Grandmaster and Arkansas Valley lodge, relative to the prospective new lodge was offered in evidence by plaintiff's attorneys. The defense offered no evidence elongity and exhaustive argument was made by Mr. Martin. When plaintiff's attorney had completed his argument counsel for the defense made no replay, stating to the court that counsel for plaintiff had fully established defendant's case and shown evidence for the court's dissolving the temporary injunction and dismissing the case and "the old" Judge Bird in his remarks prefacing his decision gave some splendid advice. He said in substance, that this was a fraternal matter that there were no property rights involved and it had no place in a court of courts, it should have been carried to the court lodge that the courts had no dispositions to run the affair or trivial orders. He paid a high commitment to colored Missionary. He said that no lodge should get the idea that it its pervasive to say who should in should not become members of other Missionary lodges. If understated lodges were set up the medics was to be had at the grand lodge. The judge said that it looked to him that another lodge would prove a stimulus and not a detriment to Missionary. He spoke of the letters from Grandmaster Monroe to the Arkansas Valley lodge, stating that they all reflected fairness and disposition to counsel with the members and do that which he believed best for the good of the order and all concerned. The Temporary Injunction is Dissolved and the Case Dismissed. The judge was committed by both sides for his fair and logical remarks. In spite of the fact that the case was an unusual one and warmly contested, no anger or acrimony was apparent and all parties went out smiling. In keeping with the decision of the court and the wishes of the Grandmaster, Fred Douglass lodge, A. F. and A.

As for the Negro getting justice down in the South is another one of the democrats impossibilities; especially when a white man is involved. We notice a few weeks ago down in Phillips County, Arkansas, when those brave colored men were trying and contending for market price on their cotton, which was no more than just and right, that they should, the devil get into some of those low, degraded Southern banched reptiles to start something. Those colored men were arranged before Phillips County's best talent, which must to have been something less than a kangaroo court slid over by a mule father; justice was dislabored of her royal rament, prejudice, hatred and malice erupt into the jury box and led those twelve men captive captivity. We thought all the members of the court that rendered the decision in the Dred Scott case were all dead, but we find that they are yet holding court down in Arkansas.
