READ THE PLAINDEALER Price $1.50 Yearly The Topeka Plaindealer THE CONVENTION AS SEEN BY NICK CHILES Witnesses "Highbinding" Tactics of 'Would Be' Leaders of Race; the Beginning of the End and the Passing of the Cheap Politician, and Race Sellers. We visited the great Republican National Convention at Chicago last week. This was one of the greatest we have ever attended. We started at Philadelphia with McKinley's second term and Roosevelt for Vice President in 1900 and haven't missed once since. We have served us asst. Sergt at arms, a complimentary place to make a follow feel like he is being honored, that is all there is to it. The convention did the wise thing in nominating Harding for President and Coolidge for Vice-President to represent the party at the November election. The Lowden, Wood and Johnson faction had become so bitter towards each other over the expenditures of money in campaigning for the office, that it made the leaders fear the nomination of either Lowden or Wood. The plan was to nominate Lowden and an old machine which had repaired itself was ready to put him over until the Illumian Johnson forces who had the support of the Harst papers began to bombard the Lowden crowd with the cry of booze and buying their way into the President's chair. They used the two Jew delegates from St. Louis who had accepted campaign slush funds from the Lowden camp and kept it for their own use instead of using it for the purpose intended. The Wood forces also came in for criticism for using so much money. Johnson and his crowd were threatening to bolt if Lowden or Wood were nominated, circulated every hour filled with all kinds of charges until at last Kansas who cast 14 to 16 votes for Wood up to the 9th ballot threw a monkey wrench into the Wood forces which caused a complete collapse of both the Lowden and Wood machines and drove the whole convention to Harding. Gov. Allen did not want the nomination of Vice President at this stage of the game as he is growing popular in the eyes of the nation. We have witty, but pleasant comments about Allen. He was the most sought after man in Chicago. His Industrial Court has put him away up in the "AA" class of national lights. You can't stop him with a Santa Fe engine. Allen's majority for Governor will not be less than 100,000. William Allen White was the only real hindrance to Governor Allen and the delegation. White disobeyed the instructions of the delegation. He promised to vote for Allen for president and did not do it. He and W. J. Bailey insisted on nominating Allen for Vice President over his vigorous protest. They did not know the deal for Harding and Coolidge had been made until the nominations were over. Such old fossils ought to quit. Bailey and White never will know when they have had enough. William Allen White can write novels and say funny things, but when it comes to putting concrete propositions he is not there. Dave Mulvane put it over Fred Stanley for National Committeeman which move was righa. Mulvane understood the game better than Stanley. Where Stanley made his mistake was in quitting the fight. Had he staid the committee would have been forced to take Sponable or some one else. Dave played the game to win and he was successful. Now, this is what the Colored Race wants to do is to stand up and make the fight as American citizens; take no back seat, play no 'Sambo' pranks rights before the law. Ask no special privileges. Quit following cheap Colored office seekers and tramps. This class is playing out. We want Colored men to represent us who are tax-payers; men who are doing things; men who will stand up and cause others to stand up for human rights whether it be in Kansas, Texas or Hall. We note the passing of the cheap Colored politician and good time chap, he is on his uppers. We ought to be thankful Wilson was elected two terms. His election served many purposes. It unmasked the Colored man who was fooling with the white and Colored men about his importance in his community. When the props were kicked out he became an outcast and a political bum. We saw many of that kind hanging around the different headquarters in Chicago. The day of contests is over. The committee will see to it that no Mr. White or Colored click can represent unless they vote in their states. The more they fight for the party the larger the vote; the larger the representation will be. They have quit voting down in the South and they have the cheek to come up and contest for seats. Lots of these contests was for boodle and several were on the level. What Congress should do is reduce the representation in Congress and base it on votes and wake up everybody down there. The Democrats would welcome everybody to vote without mobilization. We dof our hat to Henry Lincoln Johnson whom they dub the "Georgia Peach." He was head of the Georgia delegation of which a majority were for Lowden. They charged Johnson with having $9,500 of Lowden's cush, but couldn't substantiate the charge. They asked Johnson if he wanted to be National Committeeman. He said he was not seeking what so the white folks got behind him. They did not want any Colored man to think of holding that place. The Johnson forces were seated by the committee in the temporary organization. Committee on Credentials "quizited" him about money. His crowd was seated by a close vote notwithstanding two Colored delegates, one from Washington, D.C. and Maryland voted against him, hoping to help increase the Wood delegation. This shows what some men of the Race will do against each other for a white man, if the race is ever so right. Johnson had proven his rights and raised both committees. The white men from Michigan had to come to Johnson's rescue whilst his own Itace was trying to crush him. We talked to a prominent Colored man who had a room in the Congress Hotel looking after the Wood interests. We asked him for an opinion and to our surprise and disgust he thought the two Colored delegates were right in opposing Johnson as Wood's interests were at stake, it was right to protest them at all hazard. Now if a man like this who holds a responsible position in an educational institution at Washington where hundreds of young people go out to help the Race, what can be expected of the little way down at the bottom fellow? Men of the Race in high places should stand for right and honor. After Mr. Johnson had proven that he and his factin had won by hard and honest methods, all other factions were willing for him to have it, except a few Colored Judas iscarits, a few white peckerwoods and my Colored friend with this big Colored school in Washington. --- The reason there were not as many Colored delegates as has been in the past, they sold out to the 'Lily Whites' in the South, so the honest Colored man has to fight both races, which makes it hard for the race. We would be surprised to see so many "would be" leading Colored men selling out the race everywhere. The guilty culprits however, are mostly "would be preachers", doctors, lawyers and wandering tramps, who can't hold a church or write a prescription properly, or police court lawyers who "Samboez" the judge to win a case and whose clients are convicted, with such incubator attorneys Let the Race take fresh courage. Wilson's administration, the late War, and the Republican Convention at Chicago has a week is the beginning of the end of the cheap 'Sambo' politician. Nothing but men will stand the test. This was our first time to see Race women mingle in National Conventions; a Colored women from Kentucky was a delegate and a Colored women from Missouri attended. The women are more courages than the men. They stand for something and when they once get into the same the Race will move forward at a rapid gate. If Harding is made to feel that we need to demand the same rights as the Labor Union, the Irish and other organizations and nothing less he will give us a respectful standing. It is not office we want so much now, it is to make every section of the country obey the same laws and respect the rights of every citizen if it takes the army and navy to do it. We have implicit confidence in the nominees, they are from the right states and this in, ...ence has always been for the square deal for the Colored Race along with all others. We have more confidence in these two candidates than we do our Republican party which has played fast and loose with the rights of the Colored Race for a half century. We are going to support these two men hoping they will influence the party to do right. The Anti-Lynch plank is weak but will make the beat of it. We care nothing for the platform on the League of Nations, after all it is the man and not the platform for they never carry out one-third of what is laid down. They will be elected, no doubt on earth and not the least in Heaven.—NICK CHILES PAOLA, KANSAS. Rev. Rucker baptised three into the church Sunday 13th. Rev.

Edgar Caldwell, formerly stationed at Camp McClellen with the United States army, whose conviction and sentence to death by hanging for the murder of Cecil Linton, (white), a street car conductor, on December 15 1918, was fought through state and federal courts, was arraigned in Calhoun Circuit Court and rosenencod to be hanged Friday, July 30, 1920. Hurled From Street Car Sergeant Caldwell shot and killed the white conductor after the latter had thrown him from a car and tried to strike him with a heavy piece of iron. Great excitement provailed here following the shooting and Caldwell was heavily guarded. A few mon, the inter he was tried and convicted. His attorney declared at the time that it was impossible for them to secure a fair trial on account of the prejudice against the army sergeant. Important Questions Raised. A point was raised at the trial by Caldwell is white attorneys that their client should not be tried in a civil court, but the case was one for the military authorities to handle exclusively, because if the fact that Caldwell, at the time of the murder was in the service of the United States army and local courts had no jurisdiction over soldiers, only the power if arrest Lower Court Opneld. The case was carried to the Alabama supreme court and the decision of the lower court that Caldwell must hang for his crime was affirmed. At this point the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People become interested and employed additional legal talent to gain justice for the army sergeant. The case went to the United States Supreme Court and was affirmed. Following this announcement, Caldwell was arraigned before Judge Agee in the circuit court of Alabama and sentenced to hang. Efforts are being made to interest President Wilson in the soldier's behalf in order that his sentence may be commuted to life imprisonment. Caldwell is married and was considered a fearless and obedient soldier in the army.

The Eleventh Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which was held at Atlanta, Ga., May 29-June 2, is declared by all who attended to have been the greatest in many respects of the conferences of the association. Much doubt was expressed prior to the conference as to whether the plain truth in regard to the Negro question could be spoken in Atlanta. The association was true to its colors, even in Atlanta. Every speech, every testimonial, every conversation, was frank, straightforward and to the point, evidencing no fear but marked with earnest sincerity that was completely convincing. Two hundred and twenty-seven delegates and members registered, representing 92 branches and 29 states. There were also many visitors from surrounding states. The total attendance at the four mass meetings held on Sunday afternoon and on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights and at the business sessions exceeded 1,000 persons. Many were turned away from every mass meeting since the auditorium of the Bachel A. M. E. Church, the largest that could be secured, was totally inadequate to accommodate the crowds desired to attend the sessions. The conference opened Sunday afternoon with Arthur B. Spingarn, vice president of the association, presiding. Mayor James L. Key spoke briefly, welcoming the conference to the city. It had been hoped that Mr. Storey, president of the association, would be present, but due to his advanced age and a recent illness it seemed inadvisable to have him make the long journey South. However, Mr. Storey prepared an address on "The Legal Aspects of the Negro Question," which was read by Mr. Spingarn. The Rev. M. Asby Jones of Atlanta made a plea for co-operation between the intelligent elements of both races. The keynote of the conference was struck by James Weldon Johnson when he declared that the five principal demands of all Negroes were (1) guaranty of safety of life by the abolition of lynching through federal action, if necessary; (2) the Negro's untrammeled right to the ballot upon the same terms as other races; (3) the abolishment of "Jim Crow" cars; (4) equal educational and industrial opportunities; (5) the abolition of segregation, especially in the governmental departments in Washington. Most interesting of all the sessions, was that of Monday evening, at which Harry E. Davis of Cloverland, presided. The causes and effects of recent migrations of Colored people northward were treated from the viewpoint of the North, of the South, and of the Negro. Mrs. Florence Kelley secretary of the National Consumers' League and member of the Board of Directors of the association, told of the tremendous changes now taking place in regard to the Colored woman worker, urging that through the development of co-operative movements, the singleness of interests of the whites and colored woman worker be emphasized for the betterment of conditions of both. Other speakers were Eugene R. Black, president of the Atlanta Chamber of Commerce; Dr. Plato Durham, dean of Emory University, Atlanta, and the Rev. R. W. Bagnall of Detroit. Dr. Durham spoke feelingly of the need of mutual understanding between the races and explained the Atlanta Plan of interacial co-operation. Dr. Bagnall, who has made a careful study of migration to Detroit, gave a brief historical sketch of migratory movements of the past, declaring that interacial conferences had been proposed before with no success, particularly in 1879, when such a movement was at its height. Stating that the Colored population of Detroit had in three years increased from 8,000 to well over 35,000 Mr. Bagnall gave several concrete examples of the way in which Colored men from the South were making good in Northern industries. He declared that the only hope of the Negro lay in his continued migration to the North until the South is forced thru economic necessity to grant his demands. The presentation of the Spingarn Medal to Dr. W. E. B DuBois for the founding and calling together on February 19, 20 and 21, 1919, in Paris, France of the First Pan-African Congress," was most picturesque. The ceremony, with appropriate music, was held directly in front of Stone Hall. Tributes were paid to the recipient by Dr. M W Adams, acting president of Atlanta University; President John Hope of Morhouse College, and Miss Ongston. The presentation was made by Bishop John Hurst, chairman of the Spingarn Medal Award Committee. "Layning and Segregation" was the subject for discussion on Tuesday night when Mr. J. I. Spingarn presided. Mr. Spingarn in his opening address proposer the formation in each of the Southern states of a permanent race commission composed of five members of each race, who should not be politicians but fearless and intelligent leaders, whose duty should be to investigate causes of friction, to make recommendations for legislativ action, and to have all matters pertaining to race relations submitted for approval to such commissions before being approved by ahe governor. Charles Edward Russell, in attack LEADING PAPER of Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma Price $1.50 Per Year NAL· CONFERENCE P. AT ATLANTA, GA. in History of the free speech Prevails ing the lynching trial, showed that back of much of the practice of lynching lay the ignorance and illiteracy of the Southern states and urged the formation of a Bureau of Education with a secretaryship in the cabinet. The Rev. Peter James Bryant of Atlanta and William Pickens, associate field secretary of the association, were the other speakers. The closing session of the conference on Wednesday night was on the important question of "Education and the Ballot." The speakers were Mrs. W. Spencer Murray of New York, the Rev. C. B. Wilmer, of Atlanta and Dr. DuBols. Dr. DuBols in his address showed that lynching flourished in direct proportion to the extent to which Negroes were disfarnished. He declared: "If the South wishes to be abreast of the world it must put an effective ballot in the hand of every citizen, black and white, male and female." The results of the conference remain to be seen. The conference ended, however, with a deeper determination on the part of all of the delegates and members to make a stronger and more determined fight than ever before to achieve the objects for which the association stands—for a complete and unquestioned share of freedom for all American citizens, regardless of race or color. DR. TARLETON MOURNED BY ALL Impressive Funeral Services With Military Honors The memory of few men receive higher tribute than was paid that of the late Dr. William Albert Tarleton, whose funeral was held Tuesday afternoon at the Independent Church of Christ. Borrowing friends of every group of the community paid their last respects, an cloquent reminder of how generally the popular and highly capable physician was loved. His life as husband, citizen, soldier, physician, unselfish servant of his follows beyond the limit of his strength was touchingly reviewed by Dr. Greggs, who conducted the services and the Father Cleghorn who assisted. Resolutions of the medical Fraternity were read by Dr. Ruth Temple. There were selections by the choir, a solo by Miss Juanta Patton, a saxophone quartet by Messrs. Raby, King, Howard, Johnson and a saxophone solo by Mr. Paul Howard, accompanied by Miss Mtnna. The services were partially of a military nature, an escort composed of Dr. J. White, C. Ballard, L. Stovall, Lta. Pearl, G. Lucas, Capt. Williams attending and Chaplain W. W. E. Gladden, conducting. Drs. Brownning, Porter, Nelson, Smith, Leggett Jordan acted as pall bearers. Beautiful floral offerings and flowers in profusion banked the casket which was draped in the flag, under which he had served. --- A procession of more than twenty putos accompanied the remains to the cemetery, where cremation took place under direction of A. J. Roberts, Sons & Co. Dr. Tarleton is survived by his wife, Mrs. Hattle Tarleton whose faithful care and love for him was marked and for whom the deepest sympathy of the city is felt, relatives East and hosts of friends thrust the country. He was a native of South Carolina and was educated at the Georgia State Industrial College, Howard University and Meharry Medical School. Mrs. Hattle Moss Tarleton, the wife of Dr. Tarleton is a former resident of Topeka. She has a host of friends and relatives who extends sympathy in the loss of her husband. i A tribute by a Caucasian admirer of the late Dr Tarleton: DR. W. A. TARLETON Just met him once, young, noble sufferer, Who helped mankind so long his strength stood test, But one short meeting won an utter stranger, What must he have been to those who knew him best? God loved him more than you in earth life, He freed his soul because He thought it ripe. For spirit realms, where creeds and colors vanish, And angels sign to glorify such type. Now, blessed those, whose hearts are justly mourning, For such a loss is well worth honest tears; His freed and precious soul is hovering over you; Grant his sweet smile to drive away your fears. L.

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 shops, 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—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 is, 1900 Vine street. We need boys and girls that want to learn. Open for inspection at all times. You are welcome. ANOTHER EMANCIPATION Another emancipation is sadly needed. It calls for the signing of another proclamation not by the president of the republic, but by the individuals of our group. We refer now to those members of our place who are in slavery of degrading and degraded habits and appetites which are stying our progress and holding us back as a people. They are not vices and habits peculiar to our people, for vice and crime and sin draw no color line, although men may strive hard to make it appear so. Drinkiness, gambling, adultery, fornication, lying, dishonesty, and such like are not racial sins nor have our people any monopoly of them. Unfortunately we have our share of these sins, and we ought to realize that there are always to be found civil-minded persons who would encourage us in things which degrade and injure rather than in those which elevate and benefit. That this is true must be realised by any thoughtful person who studies social conditions in all most any given community, urban or rural. Moral conditions in all large centers of population are far from ideal. This is due, not so much to moral turpitude perhaps, as to ignorance, cariciness and indifference. But be that as it may, we all ought to clearly understand that by yielding to things which degrade us we are not injuring only ourselves, or those bound to us by ties of blood, but the Race group with which we are primarily identified and then that larger group of all mankind to which we belong. We would that we could make our people, all our people, realize the importance of breaking away from evil practices of all kinds and rising to that high plane of living which alone can exalt a people. Too many, would there none among any people, of our group and we are pleading for and speaking to our own Race now, are addicted to gambling, licentiousness and evil living. Emancipation from such slavery is badly needed and rests wholly with ourselves. Shall we be slaves or freemen?—Omaha Monitor.

Dear Sir; Many erroneous reports have been circulated in the past few weeks concerning a certain lawsuit now pending in the District Court of Franklin County, Kansas, wherein Thom Simpson, a resident or Ottawa, is plaintiff and J R. Rogers, Richard Maddox, and Wm. McHier are defendants. These statements insist that the Bethany Baptist Church of Ottawa is sued and is a party for this suit. I beg of you to grant sufficient pace to state that the above named individuals are all of the parties to the lawsuit referred to and that the above named church is not a party to any action now pending. I have but to direct those who desire to know, to the records for their investigation and satisfaction. Trustee of Bethany Baptist Church. Ottawa, Kansas.
