The Topeka Plaindealer Knights of Pythias and Court Of Calanthe Held Great Session ABOUT OMAHA, NEB., and HER RACE PEOPLE --- Session Saddened by Announced Death of P. G. C. J. E. Lewis. Hutchinson, - Kansas—The Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and the Grand Court of Calanthe have just closed the greatest session ever held in the history of the order, and Dr. S. H. Thompson, of Kansas City was re-elected Grand Chancellor, and Mrs. Norene Davis, of Kansas City was re-elected Grand Worthy Ocunsellor. Parsons, Kansas was selected for o'clock, and a committee on credentials was announced. Grand Chancellor having the information concerning the death of Past Grand Chancellor J. E. Lewis, officially announced the death of Past Grand Chancellor J. E. Lewis, officially announced the death of Past Grand Chancellor J. E. Lewis, officially announced the Grand Lodge stood and sang "Shall We Meet Beyond the River!" and Grand Prelate, Dr. J. R. Ransom, of Wichita, offered a special prayer in which bears were brought to mourn All attention will be directed now to the next annual session, and the meeting of the Supreme Lodge En-campment next August in Topeka. It will be the largest gathering ever held within the state, and great preparations will be made to entertain one of the greatest organizations in the United States of America. The sessions were full of interest from the time they opened until the close, and there is much crec. due the people of Hutchinson for the great entertainment given the visitors. There was a bloom cast over the opening, because just before the representatives had assembled or veen left their stopping places for the meeting, news reached the city that Past THE DR. D. H. DAVIS, Independence, Kan. G. B. of E. B. Grand Chancellor John E. Lewis, of Wichita was killed in an automobile accident on route to the Grand Lodge. The Grand Lodge opened at 10:00 We certainly enjoyed our visit to the Colored Fire Department No. 11. It is located at Third and Spaulding Ave. This company has been organized for twenty five years. Has a shift of five men each. We were extended the courtesy of inspecting the building by Captain James Greer, who is the senior captain and former Topekan He is a fellow who is always on the job and means business in everything he undertakes. For fifteen years he has been with the company and takes great pride in the welfare of the men under him, as well as maintaining the high standard which the company has reached under his efficient leadership, Captain Greer says he has as fine a set of fire fighters as ever climbed a Tadder or coupled a line of hose. He also speaks very highly of the Junior captain and the loyalty of the men to each other as well as to the department. Captain Greer and his men are held in high esteem by the citizens of Omaha. They have a splendid record in reaching fires in the shortest time and the degree of efficiency in which they fight fires. For years the city officials thought Colorful men could not manage and were not capable of having their own leader and therefore they had a white man located there as captain, however, the present commissioner, Harry B. Zimmerman, saw fit to experiment and thus today, a Colored man holds the position as Captain of the department with a junior captain under him. Much credit is due Mr. Zimmerman for his manliness and confidence. In the ability of these black fire fliers. The members of No. 11 station are: Senior Captain, James Greer; Junior Captain, Edward Turner; Chauffeur for Hose Wagon and Chemical Truck; Pipeman Clarence C. Trent; Pipeman Jewell Rose, Pipeman Woodson, Porter; Chauffeur Hose Wagon and Chemical Truck, Harry B. Lewis; Pipeman oclock, and a committee on credentials was announced. Grand Chancellor having the information concerning the death of Past Grand Chancellor J. E. Lewis, officially announced the death, and with bowed heads the Grand Lodge stood and sang "Shall We Meet Beyond the River?" and Grand Prelate, Dr. J. R. Ransom, of Wichita, offered a special prayer in which bears were brought to many eyes. A committee was appointed to go to the scene and if possible ascertain the cause of death. The opening of the Grand Lodge was complete, and in the afternoon there was a report of the committee on credentias, and was followed by the annual address of Dr. Thompson which was a masterpiece of literature, as well as freighted with information touching the Grand Lodge. He took up every department of the Grand Lodge, putting special stress on the Uniform rank which must play an important part during the Supreme Lodge. Chas, Stewart, of Chicago, special guest of the Lodge was introduced and made remarks. The report of the Grand Lodge off ers followed in order. In the evening welcome address were delivered. The parade was Thursday afternoon. GRAND COURT. Wonderful progress was reported by all of the Grand Court of Calanthe, and the women were all loud in their praises of Mrs. Norene Davis, who has reached the heart of every woman in the Grand Court, and she was showered with many valuable and useful presents. She is a veritable queen in the chair. In her annual address, Mrs. Davis, touchingly referred to the death of J. E. Lewis, and paused while the Grand Court sang, "He Will Take Care of You." This was a pathetic scene. Mr. Lewis who was active in the Court, contributed much to its success. The address took up all departments of the work, and special stress was put on the Endowment Department. The Worthy Grand Counsellor had traveled extensively throughout her jurisdiction, and was familiar with each local court. She is a pleasing speaker. Business was dispatched with rapidity, and the report of each Grand Officer showed that she was in harmony with the Grand Counsellor, and had contributed her part. The officers of the Grand Court who rendered reports as well as efficient service were: Mrs. Eddie K. Bowers, Wichita, Inx; Mrs. Maggie M. Coran, Tepoka, Ins; Mrs. Bortha Garrett, Leavenworth, R. of D; Miss Mattie Parkins, Toneka, R. of Dep.; Mrs. L. A. Wilson, O; Mrs. Mollie Drumgould, Arkansas City, S. E. B; Mrs. Ella Roberts, Wellington, T. E. B.; Mrs. Maggie King, Lawrence, S. Rlr.; Mrs. Ida Glass, Parsons, J. Dir.; Mrs. Sallie Wigley, Sa- W. M. Jackson; Pipeman Frank Stewart, Pipeman Winfield Freeman, Fireman Porter will retire next spring on a pension after twenty-one years service. During the year 1919, they responded to 156 calls, covered over three hundred miles. Their boundry is seven miles square. Were called to 44 fires which consumed 32 hours, 25 minutes. Used 14000 feet of hoose. They work five men on a twelve hour shift. Every fireman is buying a home or a piece of property. Their salaries range from $145 to $165 per month. The city of Omaha is helping materially in solving the high cost of living by establishing at each fire station, a service depot where ice, coal, milk and butter is sold at cost. The firemen handle this in connection with their duty which is an education along business lines which will be of profit to the men who some day may establish a large business based on the valuable experience gained here. A few of the boys are single. A splendid chance for some good industrious young woman. The suit brought by Mrs. Nimrod Johnson for $20,000 alimony, cost of court and attorney fees and divorce against Mr. Nimrod Johnson, has been dismissed by Judge Willis B. Sears. It is rumored that it was purely a frame-up. Mr. Johnson is a real estate and loan agent and only a short time before this suit was filed, his many friends who are numerous in both races came to his rescue saying that he was being persecuted. The costs new will in all probability fall on Mrs. Johnson. One thing is certain that is. Mr. Johnson will not have to pay it. This goes to show what poor judgment some women have. When they have a good thing, they do not know how to keep it. Mr. Johnson's friends say for him, that he was an ideal husband and a good provider, and that she had no reason for complaint. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. JULY 30, 1920 ```markdown ``` S.H. THOMPSON, Grand Chancellor. MISS MATTIE PERKINS, A, NEB., Mr. Nimrod Johnson, the Real Estate and Loan Agent. MATTIE PERKINS, Topeka, Grand R. [Image of a man with a serious expression, looking slightly to the right.] MISS MATTIE PERKINS, Topeka, Grand R. of Dep. The one man who is directly responsible for the placing of good homes in the hands of Colored people at reasonable terms is Mr. Nimrod Johnson, 2726 Burdette Street, Omaha, Nebraska. It is a pleasure to visit his cozy little office in his nicely furnished bungalow where he is busy from morning till evening. Dot white and Colored call on him for locations. He also writes insurance, collects rents and is one of the leading business men of the city of Omaha. He has a long list of city, surburban and farm property to select from. Both races are always glad to receive his advice on real estate deals. He is a member and officer of the M. E. Church. For the convenience of his patrons he has an auto to convey them about the city to view property. We venture the assertion that his business runs well into the thousands every year. He solicits the patronage of the public and can be reached by phone or at 2726 Burdette St. Omaha, Neb. A GREAT REVIVALIST The revival held at St. John A. M. E. Church by the great Revivalist, S. Douglas McDuffie, was a great help to the church members as well as the general public. He is one of the most effective preachers of today. We have heard Billy Sunday and we must save the Rev. McDuffie is by far his superior in expounding the Bible. He is indeed a well versed theologian and pulpitier. We hope all the churches will combine to have him return to the city of Topeka again in the near future. He certainly can revive the people. . Topeka, Grand R. of Dep. and HER IRA SMITH, PLAINDEALER FORE- MAN LEAVES FOR PARTS UN- KNOWN. After Twenty Years in Harness, Old "Hose" Finally Decides That Vacations are Nice Things After All. Our Foreman, Mr. Ira Smith, who has been with The Plaindealer for 20 years or more is taking his first real vacation in all these years. He never have been away more than four days at any one time. He did not tell where he was going, just dropped out of sight. He may be gone to Pleasanton and Iola to see his mother and relatives or to Chicago, or New Mexico to bring back a bride. He has many friends he could visit. We trust he is gone for the bride. She may be Brown, she could be White, but we guess she will be Greene. "I believe the federal government should stamp out lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America." "I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battle-fields of the republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands." —Senator Harding's Speech of Acceptance, Marion, O, July 22, 1920.

Bradshaw, Local Youth Proves that All the Rage Needs is Equal Opportunity, and That Is All Asked. Lives of great men oft remind us of the fact that there can be nothing worth while accomplished without effort; without the "bull dog" tenacity and that indomitable spirit of "never say die" that has gone farther toward the upbuilding and elevating of the Negro in America than any other one qualy. The rise of the American Negro is, according to his peculiar situation, necessarily an upward pull, and those who would wrest success from its soaring heights must sooner or later learn the great truth. Mr. Wm. M. Bradshaw, one of the brilliant young lights of Topeka has learned well this lesson and his efforts in the past few years has been an inspiration to local youths. He has come from behind and hurdled all the obstacles blocking his pathway to progress. True, at times the fight seemed hopeless but with a grim determination and set purpose, he kept steadily enward believing that at the end of the long trail he would find the ever elusive goal success. Mr. Bradshaw's efforts has been crowned with success. He has opened an office at 119 W. 5th-Street, and from the very beginning he has been successful. Those who have had occasion to seek his assistance have been loud in their praise of his ability as an attorney. Attorney Bradshaw graduated from Washburn College of Law with the degree of LL. B, and is now ready to serve the people of the city and Shawnee County. RACE MEN WIN PLACES IN ST. LOUIS ELECTION St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 4—The result of Republican Primary election in this city and Missouri yesterday in which Colored men, endorsed by the Citizens Liberty League, were successful candidates for Legislature and one Colored man, also endorsed by the league, for Board of Alderman received 9,198 votes to 12,000 for the winning candidate, a white man in a city wide vote, has made the League a dominant factor in St. Louis, and Missouri politics with a permanent influence and standing that must be considered by all political leaders in the future. Hon. A. M. Hyde, choice of the Citizens Liberty League, is the nominee for Governor, Jno. Schmoll and Frank M. Slater, who were opposed by the League were defeated Mr. Lloyd, who is president of the League, announces that plans will be perfected at once to extend the influence of the organisation to every part of the state in order to promote the interest of the Colored people in the state and take advantage of the political liberty and power which the Citizens Liberty League has placed within their grasp.

The idea of having a Negro State Fair originated with J. Coody Johnson, who is the founder and President of the Fair. The object of the fair is to promote and encourage agriculture and live stock raising among the Negro citizens of our state. Too many people of our race are leaving the farm for the already overcrowded cities, and increasing the high cost of living; and in order to bring our people up to their true worth we are offering premiums for live stock, agricultural and domestic arts Exhibits. The Negro has this assurance that he will have a chance to compete for prizes against members of his own race to be judged by judges of his own selection. Here is a chance to encourage your boy and girl to do something that will be a credit as well as profit to themselves. Just what you produce and exhibit will be shown at the fair. If you have a fine horse, cow, pig or other domestic animal bring them to the fair. The good housewife will have a chance to compete with other women of her own Nationality, in cooking, needle work, and all other arts in which women are interested, premiums will be given to the boys and girls Clubs for their exhibits. There is no better way to advertise your business than by bringing an exhibit to the fair. LOCATION—The grounds are located on a beautiful elevation where you can see the surrounding country for miles, on J. Coody Johnson's vast Ranch, the finest Ranch and Farms owned by any Negro in Oklahoma. The grounds are electric lighted, at night, and presents a picture long to be remembered. It is easy of access, being on the main highway through Seminole County State Highways from all points east and west, north and south lead to this fair ground.
