It had occurred to Mr. and Mrs. Malone to make the second Thursday in January "Parents' day," this being the first celebration All employees were privileged to to invite their parents, if their parents were living, if not to invite the one who vouched for them when they entered the emploi or the Poro College. It was this last thoughtful provision that wiped many tears from the eyes of employees for even Mr. and Mrs. Malone availed themselves of this opportunity and brought heart-shaped friends who had served as parents to them in advice and counsel. From a stage profusely decorated with warm red blossoms for the living parents and the tender male blue and white flowers for the deceased, a solendid program was rendered. Members of the City Clergy were in large numbers (they having touched for many of the young people at the College). The employees were sent on one side of the Auditorium wearing red ribbon for both living parents, blue for deceased father, white for deceased mother. The cots were neat d on the other side.

The day did so much to reveal the intention of Mr. and Mrs. Malone to enter directly in to the home life of their employees and being the thing that is missing to help strengthen that life. From now on all of the "Poro Dom ly" will turn to Mr. and Mrs. Macne not alone as their employers, but as their big parents for advice for help for strength to bear bravely the burdens of this life, and herein was the Christ greatly revealed at Poro College and "Parents' Day" has come to stay as a bright occasion yearly at this the greatest of our institutions.

Sunshine Lodge, G. U, O. O. F., held their regular meeting January 6 and reports show commendable progress. It is amazing to note conditions as they exist in Omaha, Nehr. Omaha, the metropolis of Nebraska where we have thousands of colored people owning valuable property and conducting all classes of business including doctors, lawyers and able divides; yet she has a class of white people, some of them from the cotton fields of Texas, frog swamps of Louisiana and cane brakes of Mississippi with the stench of the above named communities on their filthy bodies and the look of ignorance and desperacy stamped upon their faces, are here buried existing and trying to brand the colored people of Omaha as rapists, thieves and murderers. It is amazing to note the so-called high-class, intelligent white citizen going hand in hand with these brutes and will not give the colored people right and fair consideration in the courts. The trial of the men accused of participating in the riot that lynched mad burned the body of Will Brown on Sept 28, 1919 has been in progress several weeks. Now of the one hundred or more men who were arrested and placed in jail charged with rioting and burning the court house, several have been tried, three or four received light sentences, but most of them tried have been turned loose. The trial of the alleged leader of the mob, Claude Nethaway was held last week and after a score or more of witnesses testified that they saw him leading the mob and heard him urging them to get the Negro and lynch him and also making speeches against the officers of the law and boasting after the riot of putting three bullets into the body of Brown and his active participation in the riot, the jury after hearing the witnesses were given the case after being out twenty-seven hours reported that it was impossible to reach a verdict and were discharged by the acting judge, and Nethaway is out on bond again. Such is the condition in this land of the free and home of the brave! GIGANTIC RACE ENTERPRISE DESERVES YOUR SUPPORT Topekans Should Get Behind Western Mercantile Company The colored people of Topeka and Shawnee county should get busy and see to it that the Western Mercantile company of this city gets the proper support. This means a new day for the race in Topeka. Just think of it, not one place in Topeka where you can find a colored man or woman clerking behind a counter in a white person's store, yet the race spends thousands of dollars each year with the white merchants and they will hardly give you a pleasant smile. The remedy is to build up your own business in so doing you make the other fellow respect you. We are ashamed to let people know we are so stupid and backward. The white merchants will employ any other nationality to win their trade but the colored race. If we gradually enter into the commercial world and become competitors, we will get recognition clerkships and any other occupation we are able to fill. The colored man must incorporate, put their money together and trust someone to handle it. There is no reason nor excuse for not having a large dry goods, clothing and grocery store, a large repair shop and other enterprises. We are spending thousands of dollars annually building churches, supporting lodges, school-ate and colored people are handling the money. This being true, there is no reason why it cannot be done on business lines. If you can combine on churches and lodges you can combine on business, so get busy and take stock in this enterprise. There are none so poor that can't at least do something. The headquarters of the company are at Stone-street and Son's, corner Seventh and Quincy streets.

Miss Mattie Perkins, city editor and traveling circulator for The Topeka Plaindealer, left one day this week for Los Angeles, San Francisco and other points in California for a well earned vacation. She will stop in New Mexico and Colorado on her return and solicit business for The Plaindealer. She is a fine news writer and the story of her trip and the people of note will be a gem. Miss Perkins is one of the state's leading young women; bright, brainy and a leader among her sex. She is treasurer of the Grand Court of Calanthe, Kansas and jurisdiction and also treasurer of the Kansas Defense Society, and a leading member of the Second Baptist church of which the Rev. W. H.

W, R. HAZEN, attorney for Plaintiff. (Attest;) Mary E. Chapin, Clerk District Court, Shawnee County, Kansas. By Mae B. Brewer, Deputy. "United we stand, divided we fall." All wars have their effect on nations and on civilization both constructive and destructive, both good and evil. For America the recent Great War has meant the realization of national prohibition, strife between labor and capital, and a general agravation of the acute race problem. This war has also had its action on the churches of the nation as shown in the inter-church movement with its effort to concentrate upon a unified program of moral and religious procedure. Much of the clanishness and narrowness of former times is now passing away and Christians of all denominations are showing that they have ground in common and that after all regardless of church organization and doctrine, we are all in pursuit of the same goal. In the words of the gospel hymn, "Before Our Father's throne, we pour our ardent prayers: our fears, our hopes, our alms are one, our comforts and our cares." The colored churches of Topeka have also become contaminated with this get together spirit as manifested by their annual Community Sing. This project was inaugurated last year and the returns were in every way highly gratifying. Not only can united effort be made through the agency of music but through the other channels by which we support our churches, individual initiative and separate effort along any line at times is highly desirable, set, on the other hand, at times it is not so profitable in its returns. The writer feels safe in saying that the general welfare of the religious organizations and denominations in Topeka or elsewhere will be measured in proportion to the degree of united effort displayed. The second annual Community Sing is to take place on Friday, Jan. 30th at the City Auditorium. The chorus consists of 200 voices with piano, uliporgan, and orchestral accompaniment. All of the musical talent of the city is being marshaled together to make the affair this year a success. This interchurch musical effort of Toncka possesses wonderful possibilities. Under wise management and competent musicianship, it can not each church concerned hundreds of dollars. It can bring about a wholesome spirit of solidarity and breath of view and it can show the general public the achievements and advancement of the race since liberation. January, 1. 1836. (From The St. John Recorder) THE KNIFE AND FORK CLUB. We sometimes envy the individual who has no obligations whatever, no responsibilities, no debts to pay; the one who can sit with complacence and be at ease. In the same manner we entertain the same ideas about organizations and the various units of society. As to churches, it is a good thing to be free of debt, yet the opposite condition attirs us to action, keeps us busy, and instills in us certain principles which are essential in the making of strong characters and stalwart Christians. St. John is well cared for, as to financial indebtedness which means that there is much work to be done. For many years we have been without the main part of our edifice and now it is highly incumbent that we occupy it in the near future. With such a display as that made by the Knife and Fork club in their first anniversary banquet on Thursday evening, January 15th, our efforts shall soon crystallize in the form of a completed church structure that will be a credit to ourselves and the race. The Knife and Fork club is fostered by the junior stewardesses with Mrs. Bertha Smith as president. The affair was attended by several hundred people who were entertained with a good program, toasts from some of our prominent citizens and race leaders on subjects vital to the race, and replenished with a well prepared supper. The repast was thoroughly enjoyed by all. We cannot speak too loudly in praise of this effort so well and ably engineered by Mrs. Smith and Dr. Ransom with their laborers. It showed much work, taste, and careful planning. In behalf of the church, The Recorder wishes to thank the good people who worked up the banquet and at he same time wishes the Knife and Fork club the same success in all future undertakings. (From The St. John Recorder) Beware of one C. C. Smith, pre- ceeding to be working for the Plain- dealer. He was in Columbus, Kansas a few days ago lecturing. He robbed a poor woman out of some money. The Sheriff at Columbus, Kansas wants him. Address all communications to him at the above place. FOR SALE—Upright Piano in good condition for $100 cash.

(From The St John Recorder) The W W Sunday school class was entertained at the home of the teacher, Mrs Bertle Wade. Besides the regular members, there were a number of visitors present Mrs. Lutie Elliott, from Emporia, was the out of town guest. Short talks on "Why We Study the Bible" and "How to Study the Bible" were given by members of the class. After which the guests were supplied with pencils and papers and instructed to write the names of familiar church hymns as they were played. The two highest scores were made by Mrs Elliott and Miss Helen McLean. A delicious repast was served. Unique place cards consisted of printed programs of the year's Sunday school lessons. Every one present expressed themselves as having spent a very enjoyable afternoon. They enjoyed themselves so much that they asked for a return invitation. The Mite Missionary Society met at the residence of Mrs. Julia Roundtree, Friday, January 9. If we realized the great amount of help and cheer this organization carries to those who are sick and afflicted we would not forget to assist. They do not ask large sums, only the pennies, yet their collections are exceedingly small. They are placing a sunshine box at the door and ask that each friend drop a penny as they pass. This money is for our sick or need to whom a flower or a little financial aid will mean an added ray of sunshine. You will not miss the penny but your day will be brighter in knowing that you have made someone glad The Junior Board of S. Ardlea 4 was entertained Wednesday 1m 7 by Mrs. Wesley Northington.
