The Topeka Plaindealer Twenty-Second Year. ATTORNEY W. D. HARRISON MEETS WITH LEGIONERS Black Heroes of World War Should Organize. The American Legion State Convention, convened at Pittsburg, Kansas, on August 21st, 1920 and continued until August 25th. There were delegates at this great convention from every city and town of the grand old Sunflower State of Kansas. Every where up and down the streets of Pittsburg flags and lanners were flying in the air from windows indicating a hearty welcome on behalf of the citizens of Pittsburg. There are four parade runs running into this little city and at each station auto-mobiles were awaizing the inclining vistas. I was informed that on Sunday afternoon, August 21st, Kansas City, Missouri, better known as the heart of America, had been there with a special jazz band bidding for the National Convention of the American Legion in 1921 The headquarters of the convention were held in the Hotel Stillwell, that hotel which was made famous when governor Henry J. Allen, of Kansas, moved his executive department from the capital city of Topeka to Pittsburgh last winter and opened quarters in the above named hotel, during the coal strike. The sessions were held at the city park several blocks from the hotel. There were automobiles from a bord to a Nash sedan to convey the delegates back and fourth to the hotel. As far as amusements were concerned, nothing was left undone. There were concerts in the hotel lobby, morning, noon, and night. Intermissions at various theatres boxing matches at the park, sight seeing trips over the city, and invitations to play golf at the country club It is a common convention and has often been said that nothing can go on unless the Negro is in it. so it was the Negro was at this convention, even though in small numbers. Hutchinson, Kansas, better known as the convention city and also the meeting place for the American Legon State Convention in 1921, is the only large city in the state of Kansas where there is a mixed post for white and colored ex-service men alike. This little city was only allowed fourteen delegates yet, sent two colored delegates to Pittsburg, William D. Harrison, lawyer, and Chester I. Lewis, editor of the Hutchinson Blade, a weekly Negro newspaper, Hutchinson, Kansas. Editor Lewis was immediately handed a badge marked "Press" which gave him permission to enter the office of the Pittsburg Daily Headlight and the Pittsburg Daily Sun Newspapers, to report convention news, having at his immediate disposal a typewriter. The city of Wichita which has a separate post and sent one delegate to the convention who had two votes, the city of Atchison sent one with two votes, and the city of Pittsburg had two delegates. You can therefore, see that the colored ex-service men were represented in this convention, even though in a very small number. The colored delegates were treated very loyal indeed. They attended their respective district cancuses at the hotel headquarters, attended band concerts in the hotel lobby, and sat at tables in the lobby and wrote cards home to their mothers, wives, and sweethearts at the expense of the Pittsburg Chamber of Commerce. At the session Tuesday afternoon Mr. John D. Jones, a delegate from Wichita, was placed on the program, by the Wichita delegation to address Mr. Jones speech was very good indeed. It was in keeping with the times and every letter of it exactly to the point. At the close of his speech he certainly received a hearty applause. The Pittsburg Daily Headlight, the first day of the convention gave the colored delegates very nice individual write-ups and the Pittsburg Daily Sun, a democratic paper, printed Mr. Jones' speech verbatim. The committee on resolutions brought in a resolution in their report to the convention that the colored ex-service men brought out the state be given assistance and cooperation in the organization of American League Posts In conclusion, permit me to say that one of the most regretable and humiliating circumstances that the writer of this article had to endure during the convention at Pittsburgh, was the fact that in cities where there were separate posts the colored ex-service men were represented in very small numbers, some cities, not It seems to me that beyond reason it is a diagnoze, that the young Negro, who in this civilized age calls himself one of the upper most in his community and a leader in the shaping of the destiny of the country, and that beyond everything one who has already deployed upon to assist in this great period of reconstruction of which we are now passing and meeting vital issues that concerns every human, almost on the face of the globe one who fought no defend REGISTER! Colored Republicans! MEN AND WOMEN IN the approaching brown October days the slogan is to Register in states and cities where the registration law prevails. A voter who doesn't Register is like a 14-inch gun without ammunition. Get Your Name on the Books the First Registration Days IF YOU HESITATE YOUR VOTE IS LOST. In order that you may vote for Harding and Coolidge and against Cox and disfranchisement, you must Register, and by so doing you draw first blood from your ancient political enemy, the Democratic Party. IF your neighbor has forgotten the importance of Registration, remind him of it. If your neighbor has journeyed from the South, seeking freedom, education and opportunity, tell him to Register so he can obtain these benefits by voting for Harding and Coolidge. Be your "brother's keeper." Register or You Cannot Vote Kaine Alcoa Biological Locust Colo IN this situation is like Get Your IF you order and a Regist your IF you Regist has just educated can of Coolio Regist his country, with the most remarkable courage in the world war of democracy, falls to avail himself of every opportunity afforded him, if no more then attend a convention all made up of the other races, to see what they are discussing. In order that his race may not be forced to take a back seat. I especially appeal to the young ex-service men of Kansas, and every other state where there are no American Legion Posts organized, to get busy and see that they get one organized before their next state convention. Every reader of this article will agree with me in that there are any number of intelligent colored ex-service men of the state who could have attended this convention because finally they are able as the railroad companies allowed a reduction of one and one third cents per mile, and from the stand point of representation, two colored delegates are allowed from the stand point of representation, two colored delegates are allowed from every city where there is a separate post, there fore, I cannot see any reason or legitimate excuse why there weren't any more colored delegates. It might have been no doubt the fact that the colored ex-service men have not yet learned of the real purpose and the great work that the organization, called the American Legion, is doing for the ex-service men, I, for one, if no other shall attend not only these conventions, but everything else where I am afforded and opportunity.

It is unpleasant for me to attempt to put in words my appreciation of your paper. While roaming different battle-fields of France, being shut off from nearly every source of outside communication with the world I found your paper a source of comfort and in as much as I appreciated your paper then, I certainly drew. The only way by which I feel I can show and prove my appreciation is by endoosing herewith a mortal money order for the continuation of my subcription. Wishing you the compliments of the season, I am. Very respectfully, Clyde A. Lanagan, 527 Nebraska Ave., PACE AND HANDY OPEN MAIL ORDER DEPARTMENT. To Supply Out-of-town Customers With All Music.

We took a trip thru western Kansas and visited a few towns in Colorado. In interest of the Topeka Plaindealer. Our first stop was at Garden City Here we found a live burg. The colored people are doing nicely. Several prosperous farmers reside here. This is a country where irrigation plays a great part in producing crops. Mr. George Pennington is a leading real estate and land agent and is doing a great business in that country. He is also engaged in oil prospecting and is well versed in that subject. He owns property and is doing well. Mr J H Arown and son conducts a fine shoe repairing business. He owns good property and is one of the pioneers there and is doing the business of the town. His shop is one of the few colored shops on Main Street and his practice is 29 per cent white We were glad to meet the Hon. William Peace who is the county Attorney and one of the finest white gentlemen we have met in a long white, being one of the few to express himself on conditions of the onarages being perpetrated on the colored people of this country. He believes in constitution and law and equal justice for all. He is a high class christian gentleman, and a staunch Republican. He went there in the early days and educated himself, and was admitted to the bar and has practiced several years. He has never had to resort to underhanded methods to make a living in law. He does not believe in cut throat methods but believes in a square deal for all concerned. We hope he will be restored county attorney and some day elected to the attorney-general ship of Kansas. Our old friend Mr. McHarrison, formerly of Hutchison, and past Grand Master of the Odd Fellows, owns a good farm and is doing nicely, he is also engaged in the Bakery business This is a great sugar beet country but we heard of very few colored people engaging in such lines of industry. The white seem to travel control. Our next stop was at Pueblo, Colorado. Here is where the steel works are controlled by the Rockerfeller interests. Here we found thousands of colored people employed in the works and getting good wages. In the part of Pueblo known as Beasmer, they are buying lots of property. We had breakfast at Mr. and Mrs. C W. Maloney who are among the leading people of this city. Mrs. Maloney was formerly of Topeka. She was formerly one of the Bryant girls We also met our old friends Mr. and Mrs. Marigney. Mr. Marigney is employed at the General offices of the steel works and has been for a long time. He has a fine position with this company. He is a bustler and is busy locating homes and good property for colored people who are coming into Pueblo from southern states. He owns a good home and other property and is one of the leading men of the race, especially in the business world. They have two children. His wife is a great worker in the Baptist church. We also met Rev. G. W. Henry pastor of the Baptist church. He is one of the leading men of the city and is doing fine. He has a fine congregation that pays him well and this year gave him a vacation to go to the National Baptist Convention. We also visited the office of John Adams, attorney at Law at 408 1-2 North Sancte Fe. He is enjoying large practice. He was formerly pastor of the A M. F. church at Lawrence, Kansas. Our friends Mr. and Mrs James Merrill who has been employed by the Pueblo Library for a long time, and who are formerly of Topeka, are doing fine. Mr. Merrill is full of life, and his adopted daughter is attending school. Sht will finish in a short time. Colorado Springs was our next stop. Here is the health resort of the world. We were the guest of our sisters-in-law, Mrs. Willa Smith and Lucile Jordon and must say that after 24 hours in that town we felt like a 16 year old boy. The air is fine and exhilarating. We would advise any one who wants to recuperate to go to Colorado Springs. The air from the mountains is pure, and the water is fine. Everything good for healing of the nation Mrs. Jordon and Smith we found in good health and doing well. THE DEMAND FOR COLORED WOMEN TRAINED IN TYPEWRITING AND GENERAL OFFICE WORK. The demand for colored women in office work as stenographers and bookkeepers has greatly increased within the last few years. The Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute, has many calls for young women trained as stenographers and for general office work. Several young women have presented themselves to the school for such training this year. Because of the lack of funds, we are unable to buy typewriters necessary to give all of the girls practice. Any person who might wish to encourage these young women in preparing themselves for future usefulness can do so by providing in some way a typewriter for their practice. The Institution this year with its large enrollment can use any beding in the way of sheets, blankets and mattresses as well as old clothing for a few poor students that we are trying to educate this year.

WE WOKA, OKLAHOMA The Negro State Fair will be held on the above dates at the Ranch of J. Coody Johnson, six miles north of Wewoka. The Fair bids fair to be the greatest effort ever put over by the Colored people of the State. The location is an ideal one for this exhibition being located in the heart of a 2500 acre Ranch, in the best agricultural district in the County, or State. 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. A few gallons of gasoline will bring you in your "car" with the whole family to the greatest fair ever attempted by Negroes, here you can have four days of real pleasure. Amusements of all kinds for all classes of people. A splendid race track is being prepared where horse races, auto races, and cycle races will take place. Some of the best horses owned by our people will be at the fair. Airplanes in which you can ride and see the whole country will make daily ascensions J. COODY JOHNSON, President.
