Plaindealer

RELEASED FROM PRISON Law Defying Monster Enters Duluth Robert Hill, accused of participation in the Laine Ark. plot in Arkansas was released by the officials of Shawnee County on a bond of $200,000 secured by his attorneys. Hill is still under the custody of the State of Kansas which state he cannot leave. He will have a hearing before Judge Pollock at the setting of the fall term of the Federal Court. Hill has with the assistance of his attorneys made a game though up hill fight for his freedom, emblematic of the country's shield, justice. Much credit is due his attorneys and the loyal white citizens of Kansas for the manner in which they have, so gallantly fought that the fair name of the dear old Sunflower state be not linked and besmirched as those of some of the so-called states below the Mason and Dixon line, which in reality are but cancers on the face of God's ear. Kansas has, in this case, as in many others gone far to see that her name is kept clean and her record of the "square deal" should continue to be the proud boast of her many thousands of Colored citizens and the pride of her white citizens. Kansas now has a chance to create a lasting impression on the country at large—that she is for fair play—regardless of race, creed, or color. Will you, O, Kansas, step out from the beaten path-way of indecision and fear of opinions and really make the state of Kansas beyond a chance of doubt, a safe place for the black man to inhabit? Mr. George W. Jones Distributes Wealth Among His Children Mr. George W. Jones for over 30 years a successful farmer and stock grower in Jefferson county, near Oakaloosa, but who since his retirement several years ago has been residing in Topeka, cut a big melon a few days ago and passed each of his children a handsome chunk of the heart Mr. Jones is one of the few men of the race who in his day, that were able to see that the future of the race was in the soil. Coming to Kansas when land was cheap, he settled on a farm in Jefferson county, where he acquired over 200 acres of fine land and there reared a large family and today they are leading men and women in their respective communities, and a credit to the state. Mr. Jones is justly proud of them. The farm was purchased by Messrs George and Grant Jones, who besides farming are also engaged in buying and selling mules.

Special Representative Colored Service Men's Unit. The time granted former service men to reinstate their War Term insurance which they carried while in the service has nearly expired and many Colored former service men have failed to take the proper steps to reinstate their policies and convert he same into one of the permanent forms which the Government is now offering the veterans of the recent war. This privilege which is being extended the soldier and sailor to insure with the Government is given largely as a measure of compensation for the very excellent service rendered by our service men as a whole. Much has been said, both for and against, the payment of a cash bonus to the service men; eventually some such recognition may be made. A few of the allied nations have already paid a cash bonus to their war veterans, and some of the various states of this country have seen fit to grant a cash bonus to their war heroes of whom they are justly proud, but in practically every case it is safe to say that the satisfaction or belief which has been given by such recognition has not been durable and solid. If Congress in its next session decides to grant a cash bonus to the American service men, it will be manifesting the appreciation of the American people in a very material way for what the American youths did for the nation at one of the most critical times of our National history, but for the more granting of a cash bonus cannot counteract or minimize that more solid recognition and that more durable satisfaction which Congress provided when it granted the service men the privilege of enjoying everlasting prosecution by taking out a permanent life insurance policy with the Government under cheaper rates and more liberal terms than the service men can possibly receive from private concerns. This measure of compensation not only satisfies the service men today; its satisfaction grows with the years Recently the quiet, easy-going and peace-loving citizens of the North were brought to the stern realization that America is mob violent and lynch mad! That vicious monster—with blood-shot eyes and bared teeth, frothing blood at the mouth, and no longer fearing the lash of public opinion, drunk with the intoxicating knowledge that he rode rough-shod over the black citizens below the Mason and Dixon line, and thirsting for more blood, stole silently Northward to the city of Duluth, Minn., and there, amid the lusty cheers of thousands of like beasts disguised in uniforms of law and order proceeded to hurl his fangs into the vitals of the support and back-bone of America. According to recent investigation, there was no rape committed. The following is a sketch of the whole sordid affair as told by the Rip-Saw, a reliable and public-spirited newspaper of that city; Nearness Committed No Rape. After investigation and a careful analysis of allegations, the Rip-Saw is forced to the conclusion that six-Negroes did not rape Miss Irene Tusken at West Duluth on the night of Monday, June 14. Not only did that young woman's physical condition, as diagnosed by a highly reputable and experienced physician, fail to corroborate the sensational story sold by Irene Tusken and William Bullivan, but their tales do not ring true. They do not square with nature, human experience and common sense. All this being the case, there was not the slightest excuse, to say nothing of reason, for brutally and unlawfully hanging three Negroes, there by putting a lasting stain on the fair name of the city of Duluth, to say nothing of murdering the Negroes and damning the souls of the disciples of lunch law and mob rule. The whole miserable affair, at this time and in the light of developments, is a travesty on human law, order and justice. The lynchings of those unfortunate Colored boys was the crowning tragedy of a generation. The plow was conceived in a lawless resort, carried out by hoodlums and permitted by a weak and incompetent police department. Human life is unsafe in Daluth' Night and license make right Mexico offers nothing more savage and barbarous than the recent lynching. That tragic event was the culmination of five years of sympathy with treating 'em rough.' Its law enforcement loc is cheapness of human life in the winds of St. Louis county juries and neglect of ruthless to suppress tough gangs and their dirty toolroom resorts. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NEWS Sunday June 20, 1920—The Rev Father Barnes, pastor of the Episcopal Church of Jefferson City, addressed the summer school teachers. His was an urgent appeal for the teacher to train the spiritual side as well as the mental and physical. Dr. E. H. Boey, a recent graduate of Moorehouse C college, spoke at the Chapel Service on Sunday June 20, 1920 Dr. Boey, although a native of Missouri has spent the greater part of his life in Africa as a missionary. He told of many of the customs of the natives among whom he has lived and worked. Prof. J. R. E. Lee, principal of Lincoln High School, Kansas City, Mo., addressed the summer school on Tuesday June 22. Prof. Lee gave a most instructive lecture on the four cardinal points of education. These he stated were health, industrial life, social life and recreation, and he proved beyond any possible doubt that all the subjecas of the curriculum could be developed out of these. Friday June 25 marked the successful close of a two days session of the Missouri State Federation of Negro Women's Clubs at Lincoln Institute. Deligates representing Literary, Civic Improvement, and Social clubs assembled from all parts of the state and in a way that bespoke genuine purpose and a sincere desire to do real constructive work for the betterment of the Missouri Negro. One of the chief subjects of discussion was the Emancipated woman, who is the natural outcome of the franchise that has come to the Missouri woman black or white. Mrs. Victoria Clay-Haley, the only Negro Woman to attend the Republican Convention at Chicago, gave a splendid address on the Emancipated woman. For years Mrs. Haley has been an active political worker in St. Louis and thus she was able for her and its value will be greatly appreciated, both by the service man and his dependants, in distant years. Come forth, fellow veterans of the Great World War, and accept able glorious measure of Compensation; soon it may be too late. Reimstate your Government Life Insurance Policy today. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE 25, 1920 The time seems not far off when reputable claizens will be compelled to carry weapons of defense to protect themselves against thugs, thieves and murderous marauders. It was only a few months ago that a West Duluth man was killed by a blow over the head with a piece of scantling in the hands of three mere boys who coveted a few paltry dollars the victim was supposed to have in his possession. It was only a few weeks ago that a prominent taxicab driver was lured into the surburbs, throttled, thrown into the wayside bushes to rot, while the murders drove away with his car and his money. It was not so very many months ago that three sons of wealthy men took turns at violating a young girl in a woodland cabin. Influence headed off publicity and punishment for the dastardy crime. A local preacher even wrote anonymous letters threatening to visit the editor of the lp-Saw with mob violence. Seduction, morally as bad a crime as rape, is a vocation and a pastime with many boys of this city who associate with many members of the recent mob, if not actually taking part in the outburst of savagery, barbarity and lawlessness. The Ten Commandments seem obsolete in Duluth, to say nothing of Minnesota's laws. When devoted priests tried to reason with the recent mob and to persuade the leaders to give up their plans, what was the reply? "To h—l with the church! To h—l with the law!" "Did you never have a wife and daughter?" one priest was asked. "What office are you running for?" one clappant lyncher asked another priest. For barbarity and savagery, the young flend who climbed the pole and kicked the dying Norro in the face is entitled to the highest badge of infamy. The Tough Jack Robinson shows were in Duluth on Monday, June 14. Tuesday evening the readers of the herald were astounded to read that a young woman of West Duluth had been raped by six Negroes one after another, while her estort was forced to stand by and witness the bestful act. James Sullivan and Irene Tusken were the two who sponsored that stalking tale. They stated that, at about 10 p.m. while watching the circus hands load out the animals, a band of Negroes grabbed the girl and dragged her to a clump of bushes near the D. M. and N. tracks. One Negro was alleged to have put a revol subject. She begged the Negro woman to use her ballot wisely, to line up and support some one political party, and not the league of women, and to remember that she voted not for herself alone but for that sister "Down home in the Sunny South" to whom this political freedom has not yet come. The Federation outlined a very full program of work for next year. Among the most praiseworthy things they purpose to do are: the raising of funds for a home for the blind and feeble minded, the compiling of a book, "The Work of The Negro Woman of Missouri," the giving of a silver loving cup to the club who rais es the largest amount for charities and a scholarship prize for a deserving student in some Institution in Missouri. The Federation voted to send Mrs. Lillian Booker to Tuskegee to the National Federation of Women's Clubs that convenes July 12-15. Next year the Missouri Federation will meet in Liberty Mo. In accordance with their custom the beautiful silver loving cup was awarded to the Graeceo Art Club of Kause City, Mo, for being the club to have the most beautiful art needlework exhibit. Friday afternoon Presidiana Clement Richardson addressed the women in his characteristic way of coming straight to the point, he first congratulated them on the excellent work that they had done as a Federation, but the ringing message that he brought them was that the greatest Federation was the family. He begged them to keep this family Federation sacred and to bend all in cutting down the rapidly increasing divorce percent. The officers elected for the ensuing year are as follows: President, Lillian Booker; 1 Vice President, Susie Newbill; 2 Nice President, C. R. McDowell; 3rd Vice President, May J. Sanders; 4th Vice President, Ida Richardson; 5th Vice President, Lillian Williams; Record ing Secretary, Bella Brookline; Assiant Rec. Scotty. Ma. Stewart; Cor.

Sullivan claimed that six Negroes, in turn forcibly raped the young woman and that he was required to witness the horrible acas. After finishing with the girl, she and her escort maintained, the Negroes compelled them to leave the virginity by a circuitous route and forbade them to go across the circus grounds. The two made the street car and the the girl was taken to her home, where she retired without notifying her parents of the alleged outrage. Young Sullivan went to the Missabe ore docks, where he works as a boat spotter. His father, Patrisk B. Sullivan, is night superintendent of the ore docks. The Sullivans live at 2874 Wicklow St. The Tusken girl lives with her family at 4836 West Sixth Street. The father, William E. Tusken, is a mail carrier and a man of repute. Young Sullivan is alleged to have worked a couple of hours at the docks when he told his father that the Tusken girl had been raped by six Negroes and that he had been compelled to witness the outrage. That is supposed to have been about 2 a.m. Tuesday morning. Supt. Sullivan is alleged to have at once called up Mr. Tusken and reported the boy's allegations. The police are credited with having received complaint between 2 and 3 a.m. The News Tribune office knew of it before 4 a.m., no late for the last edition. It is alleged that the circus was overhauled out near the Canadian Northern yards. It further is alleged that both the girl and the boy were taken out there, bua that both failed to identify a single Negro. A dozen of the Negro hands were taken to the office headquarters and given a hard "swenting." It is claimed that three of them admitted guilt and were locked up. At that time at least six of them were locked up. The touch Jack Robinson shows went on an Virginia and, that afternoon, chief Murphy went up to Queen City and nabbed still another bunch for witnesses, it is claimed. Now get down no a bit of analysis, dear old reader, and you will find many things that do not ring true or properly square up. Of course there are so many rumors and allegations that even the grand jury, now in session, finds it difficult to sift the true from the false. In the first place, back of a chess is a peculiar place for a decent boy and a respectable girl, he admitting to 17 years and she not exceeding 18 years, at 10 o'clock at nigh. M.

The club will be served at Mrs Dorsey next Thursday evening. The Eastern Saar gave a supper Saturday night. Mrs. Oma Grover and son was out visiting Mrs. Lewis last week. Mrs. Oma Grayson was visiting relatives last week. Mrs. Bertha Dodson and her cousin Miss Emma Sanders of Iowa are now visiting her mother: Mrs. Janie Hum. There is no evidence that the boy fought or tried to defend his companion, although a boy with a single grain of sand would have fought desperately under such circumstances. There is no claim that he yelled. That stuff about a revolver being held to his head sounds too much like a Nick Carter novel to be given much credence. There is no claim that the girl screamed or struggled. Her clothing was not torn when she got home, although it is stated that the mother has said that one garment was torn "some." The alleged victim of the alleged rapists is credited with saying that she became unconscious when the Negroes grabbed her and started to take her to the bushes. She next says that she regained consciousness just as they were leaving her, yet the boy claims that they stood by and directed the departure from the scene of the outrage. After being forcibly raped by six well developed Negroes, Irene Tusken would have she people of the city believe that she walked to the street car, went home and to bed without saying anything about her horrible experiences to her parents. Then, a few hours later, she was able to go many blocks to attempt to identify her assailants. Any man or any woman who knows anything about human anatomy and, especially, the anatomy of a young girl and hunky young Negro boys, firmly will believe that such a girl, undergoing rape by six hunky young fellows, would have to be taken to a hospital, if not a morgue, instead of walking to a street car, going to bed without attention and then getting up a few hours later, apparently in normal physical condition. Sullivan, the gallant young defender of female virtue states that he and the girl were watching the circus pull up stakes and load out. That being the case it was a most strenuous time for hands. A harsh, driving foreman customarily stands over his men and pushed them to the limit. It may not be out of place to ask where was that foreman and how did he permit a considerable number of his gang to go to the bushes long enough for each and every one to commit rape, something not accomplished in an instant, especially with such huge instruments of rape as most of those Negro boys carried. To one who knows anything about circus, a foreman at time of pulling up stakes would be right on the heels of all of his men. Anyway, the story of that foreman might be interesting and profitable to hear.

He has lived in Duluth for many years and has served the Tuken family professionally at different times. When the physician arrived at the Tuken home, he found the girl in bed. He began his professional services. There were no marks or bruises on her face or neck. The girl's body was not examined. When it came to an examination of the organs that were supposed to have suffered so cruelly, there was not a bruise, scratch, cut or tear. There was not the slightest evidence of swelling, inflammation or sensitiveness. That physician believes as does the Rip-Saw, that Irene Tuken was never raped by one Negro, to say nothing of six Negroes. ```markdown ``` Some who know young James Sullivan believe that he would be fully as dangerous to a young girl as a Negro circus hand. Although young in years Sullivan is credited with having quite an intimate acquaintance with Old John Barleycorn, she mysteries of sex and various forms of low moral endeavor. The allegation of confessions will await analysis and discussion at a later day. False confessions often have been made under duress and as a result of great fright. Anyone who knows the primitive Negro character will not show much surprise at the confession, especially if the third degree caused the boys to believe that a wall was all that separated them from an angry mob. Without that confession, the extreme pacificate on the police force have mighty shaky ground under their feet. For barbarity, cruelty and primitive savagery, the recent lynching topped anything in the history of the country for many years. WALTER W. EVANS CROSSES OVER GREAT DIVIDE M. MR.

Carothers, professor of school administration in the Kansas State Normal School at Emporia. Mr. Carothers has spent considerable time gathering and tabulating data on human superiority and has listed ten qualities which he believes men must have in order to be superior. The qualities are: education, creative ability, purpose, work, simplicity, flexibility of attitude, service, thrifa, superior tastes, and faith. The ten qualities are explained briefly as follows: Education:—The superior man receives his education in an institution. Modern men of eminence are school made. America's free schools are the greatest contribution to democracy. Creative ability:—Most people follow somebody else or move along the lines of least resistance. The ability to apply the mind continuously and persistently to new field of investigation is one of the surest signs of superior talent. Purpose:—Purpose limits the field of thought and action and by thus reducing their scope more pressure can be applied at a single point. Without the right kind of purpose in life education increases one's power to do harm instead of good. Work:Actual mental fatigue is practically unknown—eye strain, headache, distraction and monotony are generally mistaken for exhaustion of nerve cells of the brain. A great mass of mankind go through the world using only a small percent of the power which their minds will normally develop. There is in fact no excellence without grea labor. Simplicity:Great people are simple in speech, dress, and manner. All great facts, all great truths, are commonplace. Flexibility of Attitude:The world moves and now conditions arise whether we will them or discover them or not. It requires flexibility of attitude to keep men and their institutions abreast of the times. Service:—A community or state begins to grow when men and women begin giving a part of their time and energy to the general welfare. The measure of a man's life is the amount of service he renders and not the salary he receives. The service which a person renders in a worthy cause broadens and deepens his life and gives him the greatest of all rewards—that of a good and faithful servant. Thrift:—We are suffering from extravagance and high prices because people consume as fast or faster than they produce. Superior Tastes:—The world knows us by the things we like; they are the highest indexes of our character. Faith:—It makes a great deal on difference what men believe or in reality men live their creed. They follow their beliefs. Faith is the tap root of the spiritual life which has ennobled life on earth and given to it a beauty and similitity which surpasses understanding NOTICE!—Anyone knowing the whereabouts of a son and daughter of Charles Fitchure who died in Enid, Okla in the year 1908 Fitchure was a member of the Masonic Lodge The children was 18 and 16 years respectively when last heard of was in Enid, Oklahoma Anyone knowing of the Fitchure children please write Mrs. Maggie Fitchue 518 Wesa First St. Topeka, Kansas PUBLICATION NOTICE!

T. D. HUMPHREY, Attorney for Plaintiff. /test: Mary L. Chaple, Clerk District Court CENTRALIZING LIBRARIES. . . A township library with 800 volumes is being organized in the little town of Americus in Lyon County. This is the third township library to be organized in Kansas. W. H. Kerr, librarian at the Kansas State Normal School who is assisting with the organization of the library, says that the township library aims at better service at a smaller cost. "Instead of dissipating funds among several small community libraries the levies from the whole township are applied to the maintenance of the one library," Mr. Kerr said. "This will save duplication in initial expenditures for equipment and reference books, and will leave the money otherwise used in duplication to be spent on books for added circulation. Furthermore the library tax levy would be only about half the levy necessary to support separate community libraries for the same area. Automobile delivery and deposit systems, which are an integral part of the scheme for township libraries, would allow of circulation for the entire township. "The chief significance, however of township libraries like the one at American lies not in what they themselves accomplish," Mr. Kerr explained, "but in the fact that they mark a step toward a still more desirable form of library service, namely, the county library. The county library will be merely an extension of the principle of the township library; it will provide a still larger unit of taxation and a larger unit of service. Its reason of the fact that the county library gives the greatest amount of service at the least inconvenience, and with the smallest cost, it is the desideratum of all library men and organizations. "County Libraries are in use in California, Minnesota, Indiana and Maryland," Mr. Kerr continued "Their organization is not permissible in Kansas under existing laws Accordingly an enabling act to legalize the formation of such libraries is being drafted by a joint committee of State Federation of Women's Clubs and the Kansas Library Association—both of which have endorsed the county plan—and is to be introduced in the next session of the legislature."

The chamber of commerce in the south can do no betler or more endur- ing work than to follow the example set by the chamber of commerce in Pine Bluff, for in co-operation will be found a solution of all the race trou- bles that eyiat.

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 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 benefited thereby. It is dispensed by all druggists. ```markdown ``` A CHANGE OF FACE BUT ON THE SAME JOB. BINKFORD'S MARROW POMADE It cures dandruff, stops hair from Failing put.
