Candidates Who Desire Negro Votes will ask for Same Through Papers Published in the Interest of the Race Marshall a Disgrace to This Great Nation Vice-President of United States Sides With Lawlessness of Arkansas. Criticism of Governor Allen Will Be Frowned Down by all Lovers of Law, Order and Decency. We note from the press dispatches of April 15th from Hot Springs, Ark., that V-President Marshall, who was addressing an Arkansas gathering, for want of something to stir up race empathy of the Southern white man, referred to Robert Hill, whom Governor Allen refused to return to Arkansas to be lynched or burned at the stake for trying to organize a business concern among his people and who is a poor, unfortunate, illiterate creature, whom the white people of Arkansas give the credit of doing something to help organize and lead an insurrection. Mr. Marshall and his Democratic partners at Washington have made such a failure in the war that they resort to something that the Southerners like to hear and that is "down with the Negro." We did not think the V-President such a small man until now. If it had not been for this Hill matter his name woud not have been mentioned by the associated press. As he has had no such things accomplished that would make him spoken of. If he had accomplished anything in the past eight years he would probably be mentioned as a candidate for president. But he has done so little as vice-president that he is hardly thought of now by the thinking people. But we are not surprised at Mr. Marshall as he halls from Indiana and there were a class of white men in that state during the days of the rebellion who were opposed to Lincoln and his policy of conducting the war. They fought to keep slavery an institution in this country, so what else could one expect but to hear deterlating expressions of such a class of people. If the colored people of the South were allowed a chance to vote and have that vote counted, Mr. Marshall would not have been in Arkansas speaking as vice-president of the United States and decrying the colored race. He would have been in obscurity where such men as he belong. The white Republicans of the South have as hard a time almost as the colored, and therefore Marshall and his crowd are in power. We think that Governor Brough would be wise in carrying out the suggestion of the vice president, or making him their governor and let him set aside a part of Arkansas as an asylum for Kansas criminals and their would not be a single doubt that Arkansas would become infested with criminals as the people of the South have been of a criminal disposition for the past two hundred years. They have outraged colored women and mixed the races for a long time; they want to have harems along with their white wives, and raise two families upon the same plantation. Yes, we think the Kansas criminal would be an enlightment for the other half of the Arkansas crowd, which would give them a better place in that country among civilized states and communities and put respect for law and order above everything else. Governor Allen knows that it will not be safe for Hill to go back as Governor Brough will not have backbone enough to protect Hill from being mobbed, nor would he see to it that the man received a fair trial. Now Mr. Vice-President Marshall, to show you that civilization is lacking in Arkansas from the opinion of others, we call your attention to the fact that Senators Capper and Curtis, of Kansas, asked the Department of Justice to see that Mr. Hill received a fair trial. The Department telegraphed the attorney general Robertson to that effect. He failed to carry out this order but the attorneys for Hill called Judge Pollock's attention to the attitude of the South to colored people in not giving them fair trials and that Hill would be subject to lynching and burning. Judge Pollock knows that no colored man will have a fair trial where the white man is involved so he has issued an order that if Mr. Hill is not convicted after having been taken back to Arkansas that the United States Judge of that district sign a statement guaranteeing that he will not be turned over to state authorities, but will be returned to Kansas for asylum if not convicted and in case he is found guilty he must be sent to the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas. This places the United States government, the army and navy behind Hill. If Judge Pollock had thought that Hill would Topeka have received a fair trial he would not have made this order. Now Mr. V-President, what have you to say against Judge Pollock, of the United States court? It looks as if Governor Allen's action has been sanctioned. As long as such matters as this Hill case come before the people, the South demanding a return of a man merely to be lynched, then the South will ever be the aughing stock of the country. Following is the press report of the frothings of the man who is disgracing the high office of vice-president of these United States: Takes Chips in Kansas-Arkansas Row Hot Springs, Ark., April 15.-Vice-President Marshall informed the United States Good Roads association today that he was, as vice-president, a man without opinions and an official who was not expected to have an opinion. He discussed today "The gospel of good roads," and in his discourse, referring indirectly to Gov. Allen, of Kansas, refusing to honor the requisition of Governor Brough for the return of Robert Hill, the Negro wanted in connection with the Negro uprising at Elaine, Ark., said; "If I were Governor Brough I would set aside a portion of Arkansas as an asylum for Kansas criminals." THE LINCOLN CONFERENCE On the Kansas Side in the Metropolitan Baptist Temple, Mason Memorial Methodist Episcopal church is entertaining the Lincoln Conference. Mason Memorial Methodist Episcopal church is in process of construction and Rev. Holmes, pastor of the Metropolitan Temple, had the goodness and the grace to place his fine new building at the disposal of his neighbor and brother pastor, Rev. G. Sterling Sawyer, who is the pastor of the unfinished church, that he might have ample quarters in which to entertain his guests. Magnanimity and Religion. Religion is not, rather has not always been magnanimous. This is unfortunate because bigotry and narrowness has retarded the world and the progress of Mankind. After all the religious thought is the mainspring of the world. Men, races and nations have moved pretty much in obedience to its laws. Magnanimity and religion should be anonymous terms. Any way so far as the Rev. D. A. Holmes is concerned this matter is fixed because he tendered church, altar, pool and all to his Methodist brethren. Dr. Holmes is a big, broad man with a big human heart beating out a passion of love and race progres. He is essentially a forward march man and no one would expect less of him. In fact, there would be surprise did his impulse not respond to the need of all mankind. An Eloquent Exchange An Eloquent Exchange Then, too, let's take note that this is one more great forward movement of religion and gives evidence of the strides which black folk have made. A whole Methodist Conference the guest of one of the largest and finest Baptist congregations in the West, an evolution. And Rev. Dr. Holmes himself delivered the welcome address in a spirit so cordial that even had none of the other evidences as heretofore set down not stood out pronouncedly, there could have been no doubt as to its genuine sincerity. All who know Dr. Holmes know how forceful and eloquent he is at all times and he seemed at his best Wednesday afternoon in delivering the welcome address in behalf of the Ministerial Alliance. The response by Rev. N. J. Johnson of Boley, Dbla., was as much in kind as it was possible to be. Indeed it is one of the rare things in gatherings to find two men of pulse, grace, forcefulness, and the pretty exchange of eloquence on the part of these imminent divines will stand out as a distinct feature of the gathering. The conference will be in session the remainder of the week. Bishop F. J. McConnell, of Denver, Cclo., is presiding; Dr. W. F. Isaiah, District Superintendent of the Sardis District of the Upper Mississippi Conference is present representing the finance committee and Dr. J. N. C. Coggins of Washington, D. C., Feld Secretary of Board of Temperance, Public Morals and Sabbath observance is in attendance representing that department. The welcome address on behalf of the city was delivered by his honor, Mayor H. A. Mendenhall. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING.

Mrs. Ester Fagan, of Salt Lake City, Utah, is here at the bedside of Mrs. Laura Willey, who is confined to her bed with a paraletic stroke. C. Klondike has moved his cleaning shop from East Second to North Main street. Easter was observed by both of the local churches with appropriate services notwithstanding the storm. The ladies' R. R. B. club under the leadership of Mrs. Leona Lewis is progressing nicely. An interesting meeting was held last week. The club was entertained at the residence of Mrs. M. Thompson by Miss Mattie Caston. Mrs. George Hutchinson's eye was removed by a surgical operation a few days ago. Mrs. William Lewis is nursing her. Mr. Thomas B. Simpson has received a check to settle in full the death claim of the late Edward Shields, who was insured in the National Insurance company. Mrs. Virture Campbell has returned from Chicago, where she had been for the past year. Mrs. Mrs. Lella Smith and husband, returned from Chicago to remain here during the summer. Mr. Thomas B. Simpson was before the sociological class in the high school in response to an invitation from principal, R. E. Gowans to address the class on Booker T. Washington and Tuskegee Industrial Institute. The entire period was given to Mr. Simpson. He was disappointed in not seeing any colored students in the class, and thinks that we should avail ourselves with every opportunity to study the social problems. The past five weeks have been a period of mourning with the bereaved of our town. The following deaths have been the cause: Rev. Andrew Clayborn, Mrs. Margrett Allon, Ebbalena Wilson, Mrs. Price, Edward Shields and Miss Fannie White's baby. Napoleon Johnson and family have moved here from Council Grove. Mr. Johnson is employed at the Santa Fe depot and Mrs. Johnson at the steam laundry. NICODEMUS, KANSAS. Among the many settlements in Western Kansas, none we believe are attracting more attention and interest than the colored community surrounding the small village of Nicodemus. This settlement dating back to 1878 when a colony of colored people from Kentucky settled here has had varied experiences. The town grew slowly until at one Plaindealer time there was a postoffice, bank, drug stores and four or five good grocery stores, a large school house, and two churches of sufficient size to accommodate all worshipers. Being located near the county lines in Graham county and about one mile from the Solomon river, the people naturally expected the extension of the Missouri Pacific railroad which has its terminal station at Stockton, a county seat town twenty-two miles east of this place. On account of contracts with the town of Stockton, the road could not leave Stockton as a terminal point for twenty years. During this time the Lincoln branch of the Union Pacific was extended from Salina to Oakley, Kansas, and was run about five miles south of Nicodemus and on thru the county making a station at Bogue, Kansas, six miles distance, and another at Damar, seven and one half miles distance. This so discouraged the business men of Nicodemus that most of them moved to other towns and the town of Nicodemus began to loose its population and its former unique place among western towns. In the fall of 1919 Rev. C. R. Bruster, a noted minister, formerly of Oklahoma, was called to epistor the Baptist church of this city. He is a born leader of men and a thorace man from principle and practice. Rev. Bruster, unlike many ministers, is a real power in the church, being a man who brings conviction to the hardest hearts. The church is in good spiritual condition and is doing nicely. Rev. Bruster is a thorough business man and has built up several business institutions in places where he has been in charge of churches. He has organized the People's Mercantile and Investment Co., a corporation with capital stock of $15,000. Stock is selling and the company expects to begin business in about ninety days. The people are very much interested in the institution and hope to see Rev. Bruster locate permanently in our midst. There has been raised from all sources for the church the sum of $651.96 and for the mercantile institution of which Rev. Bruster is president, the sum raised is $544.00, a total of $1195 since September 21st, 1919. We feel that this speaks well for the church and its pastor. G. M. SAYFRS, Trustee and Treasurer. LYNCHING HAS REACHED KANS. A Negro is Hanged Near Missouri. The lanching of an unknown colored boy at Mulberry, Kansas Monday is a shame and disgrace to the state and the good government that has placed Kansas in the front rank of states that stand up for law, order and decency and a square deal to all mankind. The law upon our statutes to remove an official from office who does not give a prisoner protection from mob violence when in his custody should be enforced in this case as the evidence plainly shows that the sheriff was grandstanding. He should have deputized and armed men to assist him in protecting the prisoner, but instead stood out alone and did not fire a single shot in defense of himself or the prisoner. This alone shows that he was playing to the galleries. He knew the feeling of this particular place, which sits on the edge of Missouri, toward colored people who are not accused of crime and should have spirited him away. The victim of the mob was a stranger, no one knew him or from whence he came or whether bound. In company with a white boy some eighteen or nineteen years old, he was overtaken while walking the railroad tracks. Both boys were taken back by a large posse of citizens, placed in fall and later a mob "overpowered" the sheriff, removed the colored boy and lynched him. After this murder had been committed the white boy was asked one or two questions and told to go in peace and sin no more. He too was a stranger trampling through the country. It is charged that the colored boy at the point of a shotgun forced a 15 year-old white girl to a tree where he disrobed and assaulted her, and asked the white boy to commit the same henious offense, but he refused, so together they continued their journey until overtaken by officers and citizens and brought back to the little town. This white lad could have committed the crime, and there is no proof that it was not him or that he did not have a hand in this horrible affair. The press dispatches further state that he cut the girl's throat, yet under the terrible shock of this revolting crime and with her throat cut, she was able to appear and "identify" the brute. How does this sound to you dear reader? Get a few grains of salt, perhaps it will go down. These prejudice, unfair white men in reporting stories of crime where a colored man is invaded put some things over that no sane man or woman could believe. We are going to investigate this at fair thoroughly and give our readers the facts as they are. We are now watching the action of Governor Allen on this affair and believe that after he has completed his investigation that his findings will warrant his removing that shelter from office who was so easily "overpowered." He spent enough time in making some two or three speeches to the mob to have carried the prisoner half way across the continent. Since the foregoing was put in type, Governor Allen has been convinced by his investigation that the sheriff blameless, and that the man was not in his custody, but was held by minor officers. However, in trying to "protect" the prisoner the sheriff was badly used up by the mob. We still contend that he should be suspended from office from the fact that he is now suffering from a lapse of memory and does not know a man that was in the mob or any of them that attacked him. A small community like this where everybody is well acquainted, a statement of this kind should be conclusive evidence that this man is not fit to hold the office of sheriff. It has also been developed that the white boy is still in sight, and while the only part played by him was to hold the gun while the Negro assaulted the girl, he will be given some sort of a hearing. Imagine a white man holding a gun while a Negro assaults one of his women! It is all wrong and a story that cannot be taken down by any person who is familiar with the Caucasian race.

Call we glean the following regarding our highly esteemed friend and former townman, Hon. A. P. Tone Wilson. He has always been in the forefront when it comes to making things happen in the business world, and the town of Burlington can well feel proud to claim him as a citizen. His cultured wife and little daughter are the idols of his heart, and during their long residence in Topeka, Mrs. Wilson proved herself to be a woman of rare business ability and to her is largely due Mr. Wilson's success. But now she and the baby are taking life easy and enjoying the comforts of one of the finest homes in the state of Colorado. The Wilsons are the fairest white people we have ever known and racial hatred and prejudice is unknown to them. Besides his law and real estate business, Mr. Wilson is vice president of the local bank in that town. The Call says: New Office Building Completed. The new brick office building erected by A. P. Tone Wilson, Jr., is now complete and is a very valuable improvement to upper Fourteenth street. It is 20x40, one story and basement, and strictly modern with heat, lights and water. The ground floor contains two rooms, is finished in oak and is occupied by Mr. Wilson for his real estate and law offices. These are furnished complete with beautiful light fixtures, desks, book cases and telephone booth in the rear or private room. The big front windows are of plate glass. The basement contains two rooms which will probably be rented. All together the building is a model of neatness, and Mr. Wilson deserves credit for his contribution to the city's growth. FIRM MAKES 200 ARTICLES THAT GO TO ALL COUNTRIES. Prophets may be honored except in their own country, but when a manufacturer is honored in his own and other countries, he is "sitting on top of the world." Topeka has just such a manufacturer. His goods are in demand at home and abroad. Several years ago a Philadelphia woman was visiting in Jamaica. The United States consul complained of poor health. She recommended a special remedy, which had proven effective in restoring her health. This remedy was Gavitt's System Regulator, manufactured in Topeka. The consul sent for a package. In filling the order II, F. Gavitt, manager of the W. W. Gavitt Manufacturing Co., 601 E. Fourth avenue, inclosed an extra package asking the recipient to give it to some of his friends. Before long he received two orders. Soon an $800 order was received from a wholesale drug firm in Jamaica. SOUTHWESTERN BELL TELEPHONE CO. LOCAL AND LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE BELL SYSTEM AND ASSOCIATED COMPANIES This was the beginning of a foreign business which has grown by leaps and bounds. A German living at Wichita sent a few packages of the remedy to his relatives in the fatherland. Shortly afterwards the Garvitts were sending dosens of orders to Germany and Holland. Except for the period of the war the export trade has been a considerable item in the firm's business. System Regulator is not the only product of the W. W. Gavitt company, however. Perfumes, toilet preparations, medicines, chemicals and printing specialties are among the 200 articles made. A copyrighted system of collecting bills is printed and distributed all over the country. All the advertising matter and circulars are printed in the plant. Harry Gavitt established the business in 1889. Later his father, W. W. Gavitt, formerly a banker, became connected with the firm. As the business has grown, modern and efficient machinery has supplanted hand methods. Tablets are stamped at the rate of three packages a minute. Bottles are filled as rapidly as three persons can carry them away. All the corrugated shipping boxes and paper cartoons are manufactured by the firm.

It showed an income so large that his tax was 53%. And his total gifts to church and charity for the year were $148. Think of it-thousands spent for luxuries and pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world a little better than he found it! Most of us do better than that; but not so very much better. Our average daily gift for all church causes is less than we spend for daily papers less than a local telephone call less than a third of the day's car fare less than 3 cents a day No wonder that 80% of the ministers of America are paid less than $20 a week. No wonder that the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick people a year. No wonder that China has only one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder that every church board and charity society is forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat. It isn't because we are selfish; it isn't because we don't want to help. It's just because no one has ever put up a great big program to us, and asked us to think of the work of the church in a systematic businesslike way. The Interchurch World Movement represents the united program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed their whole task, no business could have done it better. They have budgeted their needs; no business could have a more scientific budget. They have united to prevent the possibility of waste and duplication. At least a million dollars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual campaigns are joined in one united effort. And they come to the men or women who love America to you—this week asking you to use them as the channel through which a certain definite part of your income can be applied to make this a better world. Only you can determine what part of your income that should be. It's a good time right now to answer that question. We're passing through the world just once; how much better will the world be because you passed through?

NATURE PROVIDES THE INGREDIENTS Argo-Phosphata, the New Herbal Remedy, New Endorsed by Local People If the digestive organs are not properly performing the work which nature has assigned to them, then nutrition, which is absolutely essential to the recovery of other diseased parts, will be lacking and there can be no permanent relief. When bodily nutrition is normal, the stomach digests the food, the blood absorbs and carries the nourishment to the different parts of the body, causing the various organs to properly perform their functions. Nature has provided a remedy in the ingredients of Argo-Phosphate, the new herbal stomach remedy, which is now being introduced here. It is purely vegetable and its vitalizing, corrective and reconstructive qualities are so pronounced that beneficial results are noticed from the first day. That this is true, it is only necessary to listen to the statements made daily by local people who have given Argo-Phosphate a fair trial and have been benefited thereby. It is dispensed by all druggists.
