Having Rested for Some Time Topeka Should Awaken Now and Bring The Colored Y. M. C. A. Back to Life. A.M.E. CONFERENCE RACE PROGRESS ASSIGNS BISHOPS THROUGH KANSAS Vernon Assigned To South Africa --- Th Twenty-Second A.M.E. CON ASSIGNS Vernon Assigned We attended the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church at St. Louis, 30, which lasted for two weeks. From an eccesslastical standpoint this is one of the best organizations among the Colored people, consisting of between 600 and 700 delegates, Bishops and other general conference officers. This organization can be made to be a great uplift to the Race, if the people at the heads of the various departments would talk along that life of better manhood and place the race up to where it belongs in the sight of other races. The Conference handles millions of dollars and there is no reason why they should not take a stand for a bigger and better business, and make things hum. There are a lot of politicians and schemers who work for selfish ends, and who have relatives and friends to reward. The Conference now has 18 Bishops, having added 5 at the last session to take the places of those who died and retired Bishop Carey of Chicago and Bishop Vernon of Tennessee were elected on the reconstruction idea. There is no reason why these Bishops should not subscribe to the principles of the Colored Race. We have never had Bishops since the days of Bishop Turner who would take our grievances to the White House, or to the Government, if necessary, and demand our rights. Now Bishops Carey and Vernon can take our troubles to the White House if they see fit to. We hope the Bishops will make every possible stand to deyry the outrages now being committed against our Race The Conference on a whole was a success and the citizens of St. Louis are to be congratulated on the splendid day in which they conducted themselves At the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church recently adjourned in St. Louis, Mo., the following general officers were elected. General officers elected for the next adrenalium area: Manager A. M. E. Look Concern, Rev D. M. Buster; Church Extension, Rev B. P. Watson; Secretary A. M. E. Sunday School Union Prof I B Brent Editor of Christian Recordr, Rev. R, R. Wright, Western Christian Recorder, Rev. J. D. Barkdale; Southern Christian Recordr, Rev G W Allen; Financial Secretary Prof J. R. Haw J. W. WOOD MADE BISHOP BY ZION Rev. Wood. Who Resides in Indiana-polis, Indiana Elevated by the A. M E. Zion Conference. In the election of Rev J. W. Wood, of Indiana-polis, Indiana to the Bishopric, the A M E Zion Conference has taken a great stride forward in matters administrative, religious and in general Rev Wood is a man of high mental caliber and one of the foremost thinkers of the Church and has been active in matters pertaining Mr. He is a good worker and a beator as well as a writer far ahead of the average. For the past 8 years he has been Secretary of Foreign Missions and Editor of the "Missionary Seer," a magazine published by his church, and, taken from all angles, it is far superior to most journals put out by the race. Rev. Wood is an extensive traveler, having practically covered the United States and has also made a trip or two to the far off Gold shores of Africa. From all angles, we are certian that his election will be a blessing to the church and all who come in contact with him. He is possessive of a most pleasing personality and inclined to be jovial, which he manages to do without losing one whit of his seriousness. An art in itself to be proud of. HORTON, KANSAS Mrs W. H.

Our women have learned what the what the best women of other races have learned before them, that they can do more when they are together than when they are apart. Women first organized clubs like the men, for pleasure and a social hour, but there were so many good causes calling to them for help—that they began to band themselves together for greater strength to do what was required of them. Almost twenty-five years ago the National Association of Colored Women Clubs was formed in Washington, D.C. They will celebrate their Silver Jubilee, this coming July at Tuskegee. In this association of Colored women are working in State Federations and in industrial clubs like our own Modern Priscilla. For the cause that needs resistance and the good that they can do There are Mothers' Clubs, Art Clubs, Study Clubs, Music Clubs and all kinds of clubs, organized for different purposes that are doing much for their individual communities and making annual reports to their State Federations. Some of the Federated clubs are supporting Homes for Old People. Some are educating young men and women, some are helping the poor, and the clubs that are the happiest are the nines who are trying to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. The most successful clubs are those that have a good object to start out with and then stick to that object until they accomplish their aim. As a member of the State and National Federation, we are joined hand in hand with Fifty Thousand of the best women of Our Race, and we are helping them to make the world better because we live in it. Help one another the snow flake said, As they cuddled down in their fleece bed. Dear, One of us there would not be felt One of us here would quickly melt, But I help you, and you help me. but I'll help you, and you help me And then what a big white Drift we'll be. READ THE PLAINDEALER TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 21, 1920 Editor Chiles Takes Swing Around Kansas and Finds Our People Enjoying Prosperity AT EMPORIA, KANSAS We found the Colored people doing well and saw several Colored students at the Emporia Normal. Our old friend, Mr. Will Wayman, who is one of the leading financiers of the state is doing well. He has one of the best banks in the country. The Poehler Mercantile Company, of which the Mr. A. H. Gulfer is vicepresident is employing some Colored people. Mr. Gulfer is a fine gentleman and is the right man to be carrying out this great business project, which has houses in Topeka, Lawrence, Emporia and other cities. Ed. Evans and wife have a fine Restaurant and Confectionary parlor at 907 Crescent street. They also own the Elite Cafe. They are the leading business people of the city. We were overjoyed to find our old friend, Mrs. Rachael Allen doing so well. She is one of the finest ladies in Emporia, is a great church worker, and is doing, much in all christian lines. She is also doing some charity work. Mr. A. G. Armstead who has been on the police force and held other city offices is one of the best Race men in the city and is capable of giving good advice to anyone seeking it. Mr Chus. Dell and wife are certainly doing fine on their farm. We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Hall who is of Peabody. He came here to buy his corn for next year, finding that seed corn and LOVE run in long ways together. Toreka has a young lady attending the normal, and who is fond of Mr Hall. Mr Hall now has the idea that no corn will grow to success unless it comes from the city where this lady happens to be. Here we were the guest of our time honor of friend, Mrs David Tipton, a pioneer citizen, and his son and wife, Mr and Mrs Clarence Tipton. They are among the best on citizens in Kansas, and own valuable property and are living in comfort. We always enjoy our stay at the Tipton home. WICHITA, KANS. We stopped at Wichita a few hours and took dinner at the home of Dr. Brown, wife and son. Mrs. Brown is certainly an ideal housekeeper and a fine cook and this certainly pleased the doctor for the way to win him to turn his stomach. Mrs. Brown is of Washington and if Washington can耐种 such fine women, all young men seeking wives should visit Washington. They are now making wonderful improvements on their new home. Dr A K Lawrence is enjoying a fine practice and says that his son will follow in the footsteps of his father. Mr Richard Watson and wife are among the successful business people and are doing fine. We are proud to learn that Judge O H. Bentley has announced himself candidate for Judge of the District court to succeed Judge Bruce. He will make one of the best judges in the state. We want to see him elected. ARKANSAS CITY. At Arkansas City we found the Colored people not doing very well. They are standing idly by while the white people are buying all the property on the Main Street. The Colored lodges slept on their right and let the chance slip to purchase a building and by now they are out of doors, with no place to meet. The town needs leaders—men with push and go-ahead. Mr. D. Morton conducts a shoe repair shop and is doing nicely. He is the only man of color in the town who is conducting a representative business for the service of the Race. He is a good business man and a credit to his people. Mr. A. L. Davis owns a fine home which cost several thousand dollars and it is a credit to the city. It is modern throughout and nicely furnished. Our friend, Mr. G. H. Drumgould, who just returned from a pleasant sojourn in California, is employed at the post-office. STRONG, CITY, KANSAB We stopped next at Strong City, and transacted a little business. We found the town mourning over the death of Mr. Wood, one of the most prosperous farmers and cattle raisers of the state. His death was a great loss to the community. His funeral was held in the city auditorium and there were both white and Colored people attending. The eulogies were delivered by a white banker. His wealth is estimated at $100,000.00. And he carried $32,000 life insurance. He had many cattle, and owned much land and stock. He was looked up to as the cattle and mule king in this section of the country. He leaves to mourn his loss a widow, a sister, a father, a step mother and a host of friends. Leaving Strong City in the night Mr. Hall proved himself master of the automobile, and kept it in the middle of the road. We had a young man of Florence with us, and excepting a stop in that city, we traveled until within two miles from Peabody when we had a tire to go down on us, and were compelled to go to Mr. Hall's home on the rim. We made the trip in about three hours, which included our stop in Strong City. On arriving at the home we met the parents of Mr. Hall and his sister Miss Mabel. We greatly enjoyed the preparations which were made for us, and that we would like to live here the rest of our life. Such a fine time we have hardly ever enjoyed before, and expect to attend the Hall home again, soon Mr. Hall was raised in Peabody. He is an ideal young man and his parents are proud of him. His father farms something like 100 acres of land, raising mules, horses, cows, and cattle. He also furnishes milk for the creamery. We enjoyed looking over the fine mules only a year old, but looking to be three or four. He is the best farmer for miles around. He will attend the Hutchinson fair Mr. Hall. Jr will conduct one of Topeka's young ladies to the alter about the first of September Mr Hall farms 200 acres of land. WINFIELD, KANSAS Near this city is located the State Institute Institute. For the first time driving all the years we have been making "What I. W. we visited the institution, and we amazed to find it so able and carefully managed. Mr. W. W. Cook is superintendent, and we ebound him to be courteous, kind and polite. Miss Nellie Noble, chief clerk, is both capable and efficient. She has every detail in connection with the institution at her fusser end and fellights in answering questions and furnishing visitors with any information desired. Indeed the institution is very fortunate in having Miss Noble in this position. They have 657 inmates and seventy attendants. This is a Kansas institution and one in which the State should take particular pride, and more of our citizens should visit the institution and show their respect and interest in the old able manier in which it is conducted Here is housed daily nearly one thousand of the state's unfortunate, who are receiving all of the care and attention that money and kind, humane people can bestow. Unfortunately as they are, they are extremely happy and contented for Kansas, a curious Kansas in her library towards institutions of this character has no cause for shame The appointment of Mr. Cook at the head of this institution was indeed one of wisdom. He is one of those broad liberal-minded Christians who places the care and attention of humanity above all else. His heart is in the work, and nothing is left undone that will add to the comfort of those housed therein. Mr. Cook has surrounded himself with a corps of attendants who are with him in every move. The strickest discipline is maintained and everything moves without the slightest discord or disgention. It is the cleanest and most sanitary institution of the kind we have ever visited, and Mr. Cook says that the slogan for each day is "improvement" and work to that end. Truly, Mr. Cook is the right man in the right place and should be kept on the job as long as he will remain. The institution is located upon 425 acres upon which they grow everything but small grain. The farm is under the management and supervision of Mr. Chas Elliott, a position he has filled for sixteen years. Speaking of him and the work, Mr. Cook says that he is every inch a gentleman and as a farmer stands second to none in Kansas It is rather amusing to watch the pranks of these youngsters. They cut many capers and one could watch them and be entertained for hours. Confined in the institution is a Colord boy of five years—but, sleek and healthy, and some of our Race farmers should take him. He is a fine little fellow, and if anyone is interested in drafting a future for him, write Superintendent Cook Mr and Mrs Arthur Nichols own one of the finest homes in Winfield. The inside finishing is of French panel work, and is richly furnished thru out. The house is modern nd cost several thousand dollars. The Baptist church has called Rev Lee, of Oklahoma City. He is a fine gentleman and well liked by the people. Here we were the guest of our good oud friend. Mr. Frank Montgomery and family. As usual, were treated royally at the Montgomery home, which is one of the most comfortable in Winfield. During our stay the ladies of the Baptist Church gave a very enjoyable entertainment at this comfortable home, raised a neat sum to go toward improving the church property. (Continued On Page Two) K.

Frazier, Marshall of the day, with the Court of Calanthe Ladies in automobiles marched to their hall to Eighth and Kansas Ave., thence down Kansas Avenue to Third Street and East to the Calvary Baptist Church, where the Twenty-Sixth Annual Thanksgiving Services were held. More than 1500 people filled the large Auditorium. At three o'clock Rev. T. A. Bowers, pastor of Lane Chapel delivered an excellent Thanksgiving Sermon. For three quarters of an hour he spoke from the subject: "Watch" When Rev. Bowers fini-fhed his discourse, it was determined by all who heard him, that he Who Will Be Next D. G. M? Who Will Be Next D. G. M? It is with great pleasure that I greet you at this time. Since the close of our last session at Coffeyville we left for our respective homes to do that which we thought best for the progress of our Grand Order No doubt you have labored hard to gain a higher round on the holder of Success. No doubt you have put forth a greater effort to achieve greater pillars of fame than heretofore, and the time is drawing near when we shall assemble in the beautiful City of Omaha to report the great works during the past year and to its plans to make greater achievement than heretofore We are indeed glad to know that we are on the foundation of mercy always skilful with the all seeing eye. J. MR. CHARLES L. CHILDS seeking those whom we feel would need our care I am proud to know that we are based on the foundation of F. L. and T; being founded on such principles, we are not here to crush nor to destroy, but are here for the sole purpose of lending a helping hand to the Widows, and to be a father to the Orphans Let our officers study the fundamental principles of our organization, search your own hearts, question yourselves and find out how you stand with your brothers, by so doing then you will be able to adjust matters of those whom you are to serve Let us of stand up and boast of the great work that we have accomplished in the past, let us not criticize the department nor the other, but let us lend our support to build them up, and when the year is closed, then we can feel that we have done all in our power to make Odd Fellowship a success while serving our members. Our membership is growing rapidly throughout the District, and we have several new associations which we hope to place in working order before the opening of the D Grand Lodge, in Omaha on the 3rd Tuesday in July. We trust that every lodge will send in the name of your delegate and credentials on time, also elect your delegate to the II, M, C, which will convene in New York City in Sept. It is very important that you should send the delegate to the B, M, C, as we have a great amount of work to dispose of, as well as the election of Officers. You owe this to your organization as well as to yourself. Let Kansas Jurisdiction awaken to the sense of her duty, and go to the B, M, C, and ask for that which will be for the betterment of District 17, Kansas Jurisdiction. We are very anxious that every lodge support us in the appeal of our District Grand Master for the 10c do- Price $1.50 Per Year HIRT OF CALANTHE AND ANNUAL MEET um to Hear Sermon was every whit a Knight In connection with this the follow- ing program was rendered, which was both interesting and appropriate for the occasion Address of welcome on behalf of the church, Mr. Harry Dannridge.

CHARLES L. CHILDS, D. G. Secretary. "Ink Black" Shipment Stops For Food in Denver NOTE--Under the caption, "Ink-Black Express Shipment Stops in Denver for Feel," the Rocky Mountain News of Denver, Colorado, carries the following story. The most expensive shipment the American Railway Express company has handled in a month of Sundays Package No. 1 Orville Skaggs, 8 years old black ink. Packine No. 2 Lester Sharga, 6 years old, blacker than ink. Both packages were hungry and thirsty when they arrived in Denver. Express company obliged the fed and watered them for forty-five minutes. It was an expensive process, but the company rules must be complied with. The rules don't mention Negro boys nummies, such as chickens, dogs, sheep, goats, cats, calves, etc., must be fed and watered at every function point and at other places when necessary. The urles don't mention Negro boys specifically, but this pair was very much alive. Also ready to eat when ever the opportunity offered. "How are you feeling, boys?" inquired Depot Agent H. L. Leed of the express company when Union Pacific train No 119 rolled into the Union station Wednesday afternoon with the two Negro boys, in its express car. "We feels putty good, boss," sang out the boys, "but our appetites, they craves action." Heed, E. F. Schut, travelling loss and damage supervisor of the express company, and A. M. Hackett took the human express parcels in charge and proceeded to comply with the "feed and water" rules of the company, A Negro porter watched Orville and Lester perform with the feed bags on and then expressed the opinion that "eatin' is the onest thing them boys don't do nothing else but. At 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon Orville and Lester were placed in the express car of Union Pacific train No. 21 and left Denver on the last leg of their journey. The boys are being sent by their mother to their father. The express rules require that all live shipments shall be crated, an exception was made in the case of the two Negro boys. They were supplied with tickets which were given to the express messenger in charge of the car. The messenger is personally responsible for the boys, the same as for any other express package in the car. At function he turns packages and tickets to receipt for them.

HAZEN. Attorney for Plaintiff. Attent: Mary E. Chapin, Clerk Dis- drict Court. Olathe is always a pleasant stop and the many loyal friends of The Plaindealer always respond liberally, here dwells our time honored friends, Mr. and Mrs. Whitfield Ross, who in early days were residents of Topeka. They are fine old people and are now enjoying the luxuries of a comfortable home. Their children are all prospering as farmers and also in the professional world. Mr. Ross is a Civil War veteran, having served in the old First Kansas Colored Volunteer Infantry. There are but few of these grand old boys left, and wherever they may be we are joyful to find them living in comfort Mr. and Mrs. Ross are tried and true friends of The Plaindealer. We visited the beautiful farm of Mr. R. A. Lewis, which is located at Pleasant View, a few miles out from Olathe. Mr. Lewis has resided in this community for sixteen years, owns 113 acres of fertile soil, and has twenty-four head of dairy cows, and eight head of good horses. The milk from these cows is collected daily from his door and he realizes $200 per month from its sale. His neighbors are all white, but loyal and true as steel. His wife passed away last February and during her illness and death they were in constant attendance and administered to her wounds and needs to the end. At her funeral the entire community turned out and the casket was buried beneath a wilderness of flowers, these manifesting the esteem in which they are held in the community. Mr. Lewis says that these people did more for him during his trouble than the members of his own church andrace. His sister, Mrs Mollie Hughes and daughter of Marshall, Mo. are keeping house for him. She is an industrious, intelligent woman and is caring for things nicely. We would commit a grave injustice should we fail to mention, Prof. and Mrs. Porter, who teach in the public schools. These young people stand at the head of the profession and have the admiration and respect of the community, white and black as like. They have made good Mrs. Porter is a daughter of our old journalistic friend, Hon Joe H. Banks, editor of the Los Angeles (Cal) Eagle. Mr. W. R. Rollins is doing well. Rev. J. A. Holmes is a real live wire. He is janitor at the Court House and has purchased some very valuable lots. He is a man that stands out boldly for his race and can be depended upon at all times. Rev. Holmes has a fine family. AN OPENING IN BUSINESS Mr. and Mrs. Colored Man and Woman: You work and save to send your boy and girl to school and college, then teach them not to work for a Negro, when you know that the best that they can do is to black boots, wash dishes, cook, scrub floors and cuspidors, girls can dress old Miss, her child, make her bed, empty her slops, bow and scrape to them, and when you get through you are where you started from, nothing. If you wanted them to be that, you should have let them grow up as they were, and you would have received the best of that money you spent. Jeff's Lunch is a place that never told a business lie, and don't owe any body—a place where you are trained to be useful in the business world. Clipping from the National Restaurant News: Who ever heard, in our country, of a man being trained for the restaurant business? Isn't every restaurant man you know rather a self-made restaurant man? Didn't he just happen to get started in the business and then, through the more or less intelligent application of brain and brawn, learn the details of the business sufficiently to enable him to become a successful manager or a—a—n—well, in a very few cases, just a manager? You are trained in all branches of the business taken step by step until you know the whole game. Why go to college when you can be trained by the best lunch system in the West and be paid while you are learning? Short hours, pleasant working conditions. Ask Mr. Franklin of The Call what he thinks of the system. Reference: Southwest Boulevard State Bank, who Jeff je, 1900 Vine street. We need boys and girls that want to learn. Open for inspection at all times. You are welcome. OTTAWA, KANSAS It does our soul good to visit this city and surrounding country. It is located along the rich and fertile Valley of the Manias des Cygne, and dotted here and there upon the broad acres are homes of prosperous Colored farmers. They settled here in the early days, withstood hot winds, droughts, grasshoppers and all kinds of attitudes thru which Kansas passed, and it can be truthfully said of these men that they have reached the "stars thru difficulties." Theirs is a living testimonial of patience, forbearance, pluck and energy; the things that will place the race far above that great hosts of Southern vampires who seek to keep alive a system of serfdom when dealing with the Negro people. They are prosperous, happy and contented. Their lowing herds and fattening kind keep them in luxury on the shady side of "Easy Street." Mr. A. R. Rodgers is one of the "pure in heart," and has retired from the farm but still holds his right, title and interest in several hundred acres within a stone's throw of the city of Ottawa, where he and his excellent family reside in a handsome home. Mr. Rodgers is one of the best known men of his race in the state, and a leader. He is a member of the board of trustees of the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute, and is also prominent in the councils of the Baptist Church. We visited at the Rodgers' home, ad he drove in his handsome car car thru the country where we called upon a number of our farmer friends. Mr. Lett is prospering on his farm. He is a good friend of The Plaindealer. We called upon our friend Mr. Ben Wash and found him still enjoying bachelorhood upon his well stocked farm. Surrounded with plenty, we have often wondered why he thus cheats himself of the joys of a touch a woman's hand brings, unless he is too shy to present the question. He has a lovely home and sometime in the close future, we predict some comely widow will capture this aby old fox. Mr. John Wash has resided in this county for forty years, owns a very splendid farm and has plenty of good stock. He is now taking life easy and enjoying the fruits of his labor. Mr. V. B.
