SHAWNEE COUNTY OFFERS SOME FINE GENTLEMEN FOR OFFICE
A Peep at a Few of the Many Who Seek Your Vote and Support.
Mr. J. D. M. Hamilton, lawyer, of this city, announces himself a candidate for the Republican Nomination for Probate Judge of Shawnee County. Mr. Hamilton is a son of the late J. D. M. Hamilton, long time General Claim Attorney of the Santa Fe.

During Mayor Houses administration as Mayor, he was assistant City attorney. In addition to these he has had several important and honorable positions and always with credit and is an upright Christian gentleman. If elected he will be a credit to the Republican party and will perform the duties of the office faithfully and with ample ability and always with the highest honor, ever safe guarding the persons and property of the widows, children and fortunates, the insane in whose affairs the Probate Judge has original turfiction

The Plaindealer is happy to note the fact and inform it's large multitude of readers in this county, on the fact that Orln Layton has no opposition for renomination as the candidate of the Republican party for Register of Deeds of Shawnee County. Orln was born in this county, in North Topeka, being doubly there for a native son of Topeka, he's always been industrious and has made his own way in the world. He was married to a daughter of J. M. Pilda, aurosperous and respected farmer of
J.
Northern Shawnee, some ten years ago and he and his wife now have several children. Mr. Laxton more recently was connected with the Santa Fe, with which he held a responsible position in the Bonus department, at the time he became a candidate for the first term in office he now fills so well.
Mr. Layton is always a Republican and has added in many campaigns and given his best services to the party and to the other fellow seeking through the Republican party political preferment. Now after having only been elected once he is asking through his many friends that the party again nominate him and this it surely will do without opposition, and then woe unto the man that runs against Orin in November.

TINKHAM W. VEALE.
deputy county attorney, now asks to be promoted to the position of county attorney. He was born in the city of Topeka, June 15th, 1885, was educated in the public schools and Washburn law school; admitted to practice law, June 1909, and practices in all the courts. He was at Camp Taylor, Louisville, Ky., during the war with Germany. Young Veale is a staunch Republican, having inherited it from his great grandfather, Col. Geo. W. Veale, who served the party in various positions for years. Mr. Veale is well versed in the law, a prominent young citizen who loves his country and his neighbors. He thinks that it is no more than right that he be promoted from deputy to county attorney. His name will appear on the Republican ticket at the primaries in August.
MR. HENRY W. MCAFEE, who is now serving his first term as county commissioner, announces his candidacy for reelection for the South District comprising the Fifth and Sixth wards and all south of the river. He says the rule of the Republican party has been to reward a servant the second term if they have made good. If anything he has did since in office that would
discredit him or the taxpayers of Shawnee county, he is willing to hear it. His friends say he has been faithful and honest in the discharge of his duty. Mr. McAfee is a farmer, taxpayer and a staunch Republican and a Christian gentleman and asks the support of every Republican at the primaries.
THE COLORED BAPTIST
STAGE ANOTHER FARCE
Our colored friends of the Betheny Baptist church are furnishing more entertainment for the few white people who keep track of their antics. Last November Thomas Simpson, a reputable colored man, graduate of the Ottawa High school, produced what purported to be a letter from the pastor of Bethany church to a young colored woman, not a member of his church, which seemed to indicate questionable relations between the preacher and his correspondent. A church meeting was called, and, in the absence of Mr. Simpson, the pastor appealed to his people to stand by him "right or wrong." Without a protesting voice the members of the church gave the desired pledge, and right nobly or subserviently, have they kept it. Without any real investigation as to the truth of Mr. Simpson's charge he was "excluded" from the church. But, strange to say, Mr. Simpson is not satisfied to let it go at that. He insists his charges are true, and demands a trial. So much talk was kept up that a conference of colored Baptist churches decided that Mr. Simpson should be granted a "trial" and Monday of this week was fixed for that date. Again, however, the pastor, who after all, is the real person on trial, proved complete master of the situation. Before a "moderator" appointed by the pastor, and supported by a congregation pledged to stand by the preacher "right or wrong." Mr. Simpson was denied the right to present evidence, and of course, withdrew.
Our colored friends and their pastor may as well understand. Last as last, that no such "trial" will convince any white person, nor any intelligent and unprejudiced colored person either, that the pastor is innocent. If he is really blameless, every fair-minded person will believe that he and his people ought to be willing to have that question decided by some unprejudiced tribunal after the fittest possible presentation of evidence.—From The Ottawa World.
COLORED WOMAN INHERITS
FORTUNE LEFT BY WHITE
MAN; TOGETHER 37 YEARS
The Savannah e(Ga.) Hawkeye (white) in printing the story of the death of a wealthy and influential citizen, brings to light one of the thousands of similar cases in the South. It says: "Dying as he had lived, with the colored woman next to his heart, Mr. P. H. Chaplin, the wealthy Savannahian, left his entire estate to Hassie Lee, the Negro woman who had lived with him as his wife for 37 years! A son 35 years old, with a bunch of children, also survive Chaplin. His children pass as colored in the community. Hessie Lee, his colored wife—as she was—is made administratrix without bond, and she will take charge of his estate and proceed to enjoy the fruits of her life with the man who couldn't be her legal husband because she was a colored woman and he a white man. That hundreds of other cases exist here is the belief of the old-timers, who know what the habits of certain rich men are. In the old days to have a Negro wife was considered the first cut of a gentleman." One colored person got justice at last. If all the white people of the South would do like this man, the colored would own over half of the South.

WHY?
A peculiar caption I admit, but a direct interrogation is fitting for we are living in a peculiar age, an age of world wide reconstruction, therefore we should build rightly, build mightly. Lo we must plan men of ability in the ecclesiastical arena as
TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. MARCH 26, 1920 well as men of ability in the politi cal sphere. on Mason street of which Rev. Geo. dom, bu W. Shaw is pastor. It is called upon us record.
This being true; looking forward to the general conference of the great A. M. E. church which will convene in St. Louis, Mo., May, 1920 at which time and place a great Christian body will meet this class of men, I desire to say a word in reference to Rev. Charles R. Tucker, D. D., the popular candidate and the eqn pun eupipuco jumdod aqi "G G Having known Rev. Tucker for a number of years, I believe he as well as some others whom I know, will with grace and dignity, blend with the present personnel of the the bench. His logic is clean, his theology is complete and hundreds of men and women have been added to Bethel after listening to this son of thunder.
His executive ability is on par with our best. He is positive, yet at all times pliable and open to correction.
In his 26 years of service in Oklahoma he has worked his way up from the smallest mission to the metropolitan church of Oklahoma and is now erecting a $29,000 brick edifice in Tulsa. He has the confidence of all regardless to race or color and all Oklahoma desires to honor him. He is physically strong and therefore able and willing to travel over his diocese giving thought and inspiration to the church all along the line. Give us Dr. Tucker, the man of ability; the man of works, a man who will maintain the dignity of the bench if elected bishop at St. Louis, May, 1920.—Evangelist Mme. Frances E. Motlin, H. B.
AT THE OLD HOME OF ABE LINCOLN The Editor Visits Springfied, Ill.
AT THE OLD HOME OF ABE LINCOLN The Editor Visits Springfied, Ill.
We visited Springfield, Ill., the Capital of that great state, this being our first visit to the home of the Married Lincoln, it naturally started our curiosity, and in that city we found much evidence of the high esteem for and the reverence with which the citizens hold his name. His two story frame residence in which he resided at the time he left for Washington to be inaugurated the first time, is kept up by the state and visitors are admitted. The statue at the state house, the monument a short distance away, the court house where he practiced law, are all in evidence to remind the people of a great man who once lived in their midst.
Springfield is a great coal mining country. Several manufacturing establishments are going in the city, seems to be growing. We visited the state house and called on Col. Otis B. Duncan and Major R. A. Bird of the 8th Illinois, Governor Lowden the neat President and several heads of departments with Major Bird and got our eyes open to the fact that the colored voters of Illinois were in politics and were standing up for their rights. We found over 80 colored people working in the state house and other safe buildings from sanitor up. We could not realize how the race secured such responsible positions. Col. Duncan is assistant in the educational department where he has been for twenty years. He went to France and was on the firing line all the time and for his excellent bravery he was breathed Col. of the famous 8th. Illinois.
Major Bird who is in command of the second Batallion and went over and faced the enemy's bullets and he was breasted from colonel to major. He is clerk in the Auditor's office where he has been for years. He also is engaged in the manufacture of sweeping compounds and oils. He is a fine business man. We never met two men that came as near belg perfect race men as Col. Duncan and Major Bird. They are dignified conscientious gentlemen who keep their ears to the ground, their information is sought, they are responsible and what they say you can bank on they stand up for principle, don't bow nor stoop, but yet are diplomats and firm. The colored people of Springfield as in most western and northern cities never thought of buying homes in the early day. They are now beginning to realize the value of a home after an attempt of the whites to move them around in undesirable locations. They own several good homes and are buying them fast. At this time they own a few valuable business properties consisting of two story bricks. Along business lines Majors Bird's factory is doing fine, two restaurants, one pool hall and club, one furniture store, a few restaurants and one paint shop. One large hotel, nicely furnished, colored people can't support the dining room and therefore it stays closed. A colored man erected this hotel, a white man now owns it. This city has a colored population of about 6500. The men work in the mines, on public works, waiters and porters. Five doctors, one dentist, two lawyers, four churches, all of which seem to be doing well and will do better when old John Barleycorn has died out forever: this was a saloon town and the influence of him is set, he having so recently quit and a large number still mourn for him. The people generally are glad he is gone, they are taking on new life. Mr. Barleycorn
We visited the A. M. E. church
on Mason street of which Rev. Geo. W. Shaw is pastor. He called upon us to make a few remarks. We secured a few subscribers from his congregation and we never met a more courteous minister than the Rev. Shaw, and he is full of race pride. He has a fine congregation who love him and his wife and children. We had the pleasure of dining with them on Monday evening at the Brown Hotel where the ladies of the Orphan Home served a 6 o'clock dinner. They use that fine dining room and kitchen for charitable purposes as the people cannot support that department. We visited the young people's forum at the Baptist church Sunday afternoon where an elaborate programme was rendered for the benefit of the soldiers, from all the wars commencing with the boys of 61. We visited our friends, Major E. W. Ford and wife, a few miles out on the interurban line, and spent Saturday evening. All of Kansas knows the Major and his wife. He was in charge of the National Cemetery at Scott, Kansas for years. went to Cuba and served as Major in the late 23rd Kansas in the war with Spain. He was a gallant officer and was highly respected by all who knew him. He is now custodian of Camp Butler National Cemetery, his son the late N. B. is buried at Camp Butler. His daughter, Miss Elise is teaching school near Memphis, Tenn. and rumor has it she will return to her old home state at Columbia, S. C. and there become a happy bride. Miss Vera is teaching in High School at McBroomal, Va. Miss Hallie who taught at Okmougee, Okla. is married and living happily at Peoria Ill. His son George is in the Post Office at Chicago.
D. C. Bonice, is a dentist, doing fine now and smiling over a first-born, a girl. One son in Springfield is in the Transfer business. His grand daughter is the only one at home, she is the daughter of the late N. B. Ford. What swept us off our feet was the large buildings and ground of the Cooperative Educational Board which is buying a large and magnificent building and grounds at 124 Eleventh street. Mr Z M Mitchell, the secretary, is doing it work for the race and he and his good wife deserve great credit for having the foundation for the future generations to move and prosper by the receipts and examples being held by them and this board of directors. This board is cleaning house for the race not only at Springfield but state as well. These committees and various organizations meet and formulate laws and rules to be worked out in Legislature in Congress of the United States city and county offices of the many things which constrain the race and needs the support of the people who do to the front for their rights. Mr. Mitchell is the same to this organization as a secretary is to a Chamber of Commerce. It is incumbent on him to raise the funds to carry on this great work and pay bills. He has to meet the public who felt it the duty to encourage this great university as both races sees the necessity of such and they rally to the call made by the board of directors. Such men as Col. Duncan, Major Wird, Governor Lowden, T. W. Wernick and scores of others give checks for the support. The property will be paid for and they will be proud of it. Some day corporations and business interests will spring up and great laws and good positions will go upon the statute book and race people holding responsible positions if every body will stand up and boost. Knocking gets you no where. If we did not mention the name Hon. Chas. Gibbs, the prominent lawyer who does things, we would have done Springfield an injustice. We have to admire him and his excellent qualities as a lawyer. He started professional life after he was a man up in age, he was a coal miner until twelve years ago. He burned the midnight oil and had the will and pluck and mind that he could master the law. He wanted to practice law, in 1908. He was admitted to practice in Federal and state courts; while we were in his office several times while there; he was always busy with both white and colored clients. His fees have ranged from $3.00 to $3000. He is a great church worker, popular and a great race man. The colored people should wake up and see to it that colored people secure positions in public places in states where Republicans and Democrats are in control. We met so many colored clerks and bookkeepers in the state house at Springfield that we got dizzy. Also colored lady stenographers, although there is even room for improvement at Springfield.
IOLA, KANSAS.
The ideal spring weather services is an inspiration to the people, consequently they wend their way churchward on the Sabbath day there was an eager crowd of people present at the A. M. H. church Sunday to hear the Rev. J. A. G. Grant both morning and evening. These persons were doubly paid for their church coming for not only did the Reverend preach soul satisfying, but the choir did well their part toward making the worship come up to the usual standard. If we forget all else Rev. Grant said, most of us shall ever remember that he said that the place every individual occupies in the "kingdom of righteousness" is the place merrited by the work accomplished by the said individual in setting up the kingdom. He also said that the influence of friends bare knowledge, wealth, beauty or social standing, played no part in giving us a place in the king-
dom, but our work and personal record.

KANSAS CITY, - KANSAD
Wins Own Son, Pullman, Wins His
Stripes in Overcrowd
Friends of Frank O. Lawden point with pride to his record as war governor of Illinois. Promptly following the severance of diplomatic relations between the United States and Germany Gov. Lowden issued an appeal to the people of Illinois to uphold President Wilson.
"It is the solemn duty of all Americans," he said, "to rally to his support."
Three days later he went before a joint session of the two branches of the legislature to renew his appeal.
"We may have many sympathies," he said. "We can have but one allegiance and that allegiance is to the United States."
The authorities in Washington regarded Illinois as critical territory. Gov. Lowden took immediate steps to demonstrate that the state was united back of the government in whatever war measures it undertook. He appointed a state council of defense, representing all parties and all elements, to organize the war activities of Illinois.
The work of this council was not worthy. Financed by an appropriation of $50000 as against appropriations for similar purposes in other states running as high as $5,0000, the Illinois council achieved results equal in importance to those of any other body of its kind in the country. Among the things it did or direct aid to the government's military plans was to give preliminary training to several thousand drafted men, so that on reporting to camp they were able to obtain immediate recognition as noncommissioned officers. The council's chief function however was in building up the morale of the people at home, fostering economies, and adding movements of whatever kind designed to increase national efficiency.
The governor kept in close personal touch with the Illinois boys in khaki and blue. He visited them in their camps, traveled to the seahole to bid Godpeed to depart contingents and was at New York to give welcome in the name of the state to the veterans who came back at the close of the fighting.
His interest in the soldiers was not merely out of Among them was his own son, Pullman Lowden—a member of the Purple division. In that division was the "Dandy First" regiment of the Illinois national guard with which Lowden served for three years as lieutenant colonel. Pullman went overseas with his outfit, did his bit in the ranks as a common soldier, and came back with the cherished gold service stripes.
Term as Governor a Record of Saving and Efficiency.
Simplifies Management of State Afi
fairs With Results Profitable
to the Tax Payers.
The high cost of government has supplied the supporters of Frank O. Lowden the platform on which they are confident he will be elected president of the United States. Governor Lowden was born on a farm and worked his way through school by teaching. He is a product of the Middle West, having been born in Minnesota, raised in town and then coming to Chicago. He worked as a clerk in a chicago law office for $8 a week while preparing for his profession. Later he entered politics. He was thrice elected congressman from the Thirteenth Illinois district before voluntarily retiring.
He was elected governor of the state in 1968 by a tremendous plurality and his record as chief executive has put him in the list of presidential possibilities. Friends of the governor explain that he had to be dragged into the race for president. Certainly he does not seem to worry about the outcome of the campaign.
"I think one of the greatest needs of the country today is a stronger, finer, happier Americanism," said Governor Lowden. "We can compel alliances to respect our form of government, or get out, and that we must do. At the same time we are under the profound necessity of earning that respect from all right thinking men. We are hearing strong preachments against profiteering and extravagance. Yet it is hardly dawning on the public mind that we can be paying excessively for government, as well as for sugar, meat or fuel.
"Illinois formerly had 127 separate boards and commissions handling its affairs. No one man, no score of men, were responsible. A premium was put on standing."
"Under my administration these bureaus have been consolidated into elite departments, whose chief reside at the state capital and are held individually responsible. One effect of this has been to reduce the tax rate of the state 33 per cent in two years. Adoption of a budget system has been a valuable adjunct in saving the taxpayers money. I think efficiency and economy in government is one mighty step in the direction of improved Americanism."

We are all very happy children in Sunday school this Lord's day for we are to have a very fine and interesting study of the lesson. Atr which we will all pass around to the straas of music of a beautiful march played by our organist and get our Easter eggs and think of the meaning of this great day. How many of us know the significance of Easter Sunday? Remember this, maybe ask I you by any one; be prepared to answer correctly.
It is more important to know what a man is than the policy he intends to pursue. It is better to have a courageous, high-minded, honest capable man than one who hugged a bale of policies. In the personality he the highest possibilities of public duty. Just what a man will do in certain emergencies no one knows by what he says he will do, for he is a creature of circumstances, and the construction of those cirl instances belongs to his personality which is attested by his life. So the ultimate object of all policies should be the man who can rise above a selfish influence and do the right thing at the right time.
And all this lies within the sphere of education from which is evolved the citizen whose whole value is his personality, and not his knowledge or his smartness or oratory — From the Ohio State Journal
