Historical Society State House Twenty-Second Year. Robt. HILL FREE AS LONG IN STATE C Entire West and South Have Been Watching Outcome of Case With Unusual Interest. Robert Hill, the Negro who was accused of being one of the leaders in the race riots at Elaine, Ark., last October, now is a free man as long as he remains within the confines of the state of Kansas. Judge John Pollock of the United States district court yesterday morning dismissed the charge of impersonating a federal officer which had been placed against Hill after his arrest in Topeka last winter. Hugh T. Fisher, County Attorney and one of the attorneys in the case returned home from Leavenworth where the case was heard on yesterday. When Hill was arrested by Chief of Police (too. Hannan and held in this city, the Arkansas authorities at once started making preparations to have Hill returned to that state. Governor Allen refused to grant extradition papers and Hill was held. At this point, the federal charge of impersonating a federal officer were trumped up by the southerners who sought to evade the Kansas Governor. At this point the N.A.A.C.P. thru Senator Capper, wired Hugh T. Fisher to co-operate with the local officials of that organization and see that Hill was protected. Attorneys HISTORIC CONVENTION TO MEET AT BALTIMORE. Chicago, Pl., Oct. 6, 1920- In view of the gross betrayal of the confidence of the North and the Colored Race at home and in the time a southern-born man became president after the Civil War, the National Equal Rights League, though a non-political organization, with headquarters here, has called its 12th Annual meeting for political action. The League invites the entire Race to send delegates to Baltimore at Trinity Baptist church, on Oct. 29-23 to cust the Wilson democratic party from the national government. The league believes the first thing is to remove federal segregation at Washington and secure a declaration against it from Sen. Harding at Marlon, Sept. 10. "Come to Baltimore to Abolish Federal Segregation by Electing Harding" is the slogan on which the race in every place is urged to form a local league and elect delegates. Joining fee for locals is $1.00 to go to the National body. Delegate fee is $1.00. The whole race is asked to hold meetings for the convention prior to and on Oct 17 and 18 to be observed as Equal Rights Sunday and Monday. Special preparation is being made at Baltimore under Rev. J. R. Diggs pastor Trinity Baptist Church, Druld Hill Ave., and McWechen St., who provides local accommodations. Constitutions can be obtained free from W. Monroe Trotter, 34 Cornhill, Boston. All filated delegates are also invited. "On to Baltimore." NOTICE! NOTICE! NOTICE!

Since being release, Mr. Hill has been employed by a local concern and is now preparing to make this his home. When interviewed by a representative of the Plaindealer he remarked, "Yes I am working and making plans to cure for my family and make my home here. I am feeling much better since my release and my health is improving. I certainly feel grateful to the officials of the state and county for the treatment accorded me while I was retained here. The colored people were loyal and worked hard for my protection. I want to take this occasion to thank them for what they did. The women of Topeka, were very kind in caring for my wife and baby. I shall always remember them for their many kindnesses. Kausas has some splendid officials from the Governor and Senator down to the city officials of Topeka. All of whom I thank from the bottom of my heart." Dr. Powell, the Negro physician who was the examining physician of the organization, of which Hill was claimed to be the president, was arquitted of a similar charge in the United States district court in Arkansas a short time ago.

(Associated Negro Press) Memphis, Tenn.—Saturday and Sunday night, for a number of weeks from four to six coaches are attached to the regular trains as "extras" to carry the Colored passengers bound for the northern communities.

Clarksville, Tenn., Oct. 8. The old southern habit of referring to our Race as "darkey and nigger" caused M. Mooney, (white) editor of the Memphis Commercial, to receive a severe scolding at the hands of Dr. R. R. Motin, principal of Tuskegee Institute, before an audience of several thousand persons here recently. Following the criticism, which was timed at the editor and caused him considerable embarrassment, people here feared for Dr. Moton's safety, as this town is not far from Elaine, Ark., the scene of a recent race plot. However, no violence was experienced. Delegation Present Local promoters had gotten up the meeting for the purpose of getting together the races in the attempt to have a better understanding be.

UKES WHITE EDITOR. us Stand in Heart of uthland. tween them in this section. A delegation from Memphis came down. Including the editor of the Commercial Appeal. In the course of his address, Editor Mooney, following the custom of southerners, frequently used the words "darkey" and "niger." When he finished Dr. Moton was introduced as the principal speaker. White Editor Shocked The Tuskegee educator made the audience gasp when he flayed the Memphis editor for the language the latter used in reference to our people. "The time has passed," said Dr. Moton, "when the Colored people appreciate the word 'darkey' or the word 'nigger' from a white man." The Memphis editor was stunned, for no man of our race had "called him down" that way before. Dr. Moton launched into the main portion of his address, which was the same in many respects that he had delivered in Baltimore. Philadelphia and other places in the north and MR.

Remember the right of suffrage which is yours for the using and let nothing interfere to prevent you from exercising that right at the polls on election day. * THEY SHALL PASS! Yes—we expect to complete arrangements on this coming election day, whereby all Demos shall pass from the White House and elsewhere on the 4th day of March, 1921. Hear Yet! Dr. Moton who' did 'spress' himself down south, when he told that white editor that the day was passed for white people to use the term 'nigger' and 'darkey' when speaking of the American Negro. And just think it was done in the heart of Dale. Things are about to come to pass. Hill of Arkansas was freed of the charge of precipitating a riot in the same state in which the name of a Negro has been placed upon the ballot as a candidate for governor. Speaking of Hill again, Kansas and its Governor saw the case thru to the end and saw to it that he got justice and then freedom. Now this same Kansas is going to see to it that the boys of the 24th who are imprisoned, are given justice and that very shortly. A little lift from you will help in that direction. After all it takes Kansas to "put things over." Uncle Sam sent Jack all the way to Kansas to be cared for. One of our advertisers came from Koussas City the other day to tell us that a farm in Africa had seen his 'ad' in the Plaindealer and communicated with him about his wares. We pride in the fact that they read the Plaindealer in Africa, if they don't do so in Topoka. Mr. Editor: I see by the daily papers that the price of paper has been reduced Now, it seems to me that all the other leading papers have 8 pages and that the price is cut, you ought to give us a bigger paper like you did years ago for the same price. Harry up and make the paper bigger yours truly, A Reader. I beg your pardon, friend, but you only read the headline. That was a reduction on toilet paper. We don't print on that.

(Seal) Secretary of State 3113L ARE WE NOT DOING THE SAME? Our severest and most objurgatory criticism of the metropolitan press is that they minimize or overlook the creditable doings of the Negro, but headline and magnify his faults, mistakes or shortcomings, until the very presence of the Negro to the minds of many who are not even his detractors, suggest villainy, shiftlessness and crime almost unheard of in other peoples. But are we not condemning and imitating the self-same things? Turn from one Negro weekly to another during the last few weeks and a headliner displays an occurrence in North Carolina, featuring a prominent Negro and a refined woman of the other race in an awkward situation. The reader is puzzled because of its unusual publicity in such journals to understand whether it is the intention to condemn or to codone the behavior. However regrettable it may be—and all of us wish heartily that it had not happened—yet such publicity in such papers makes it in the minds of some a matter to be imitated rather than to be eschewed. Then an eminent optometrist or eye specialist, identified with our race committed suicide in Texas after a dishonorable act. He, though dead, received the same kind of publi- Our race has no monopoly on weaknesses. The metropolitan press simply confirms the former in their propaganda. No race gets any where by parading its weaknesses to the world. Virtues are the things that make for the uplift of mankind. Even Robespierre declared "If there were no Supreme Being, it would behoove man to invent one." Therefore, brethern, if our race had no virtues, it would become our press, now that it is no mean factor for good, to invent some and publish them to the world. For when you least desire it, the world takes you at your own estimate, especially, if it is not high. A READER In the District Court of Shawnee County, Kansas. Cora Austin, Plaintiff. 18.

Its Uses in the Year 1900 Mantown bottom has been graced with the establishment of a new post office, named Mitch, at the oldpost office site, Mabelle, in the G. W. Scarborough building with Mr. E. W. Mitchell, postmaster. We hear from talking about Negro enterprise, and now is the time for you to prove the doctrine which you have been preaching by patronising the above named post office, the one that is intended for you who signed the petition. The office was granted under that provision. We are quite sure that you have too much manhood about you to make a pledge and not stick to it. Now let's be men and patronize the office, for we have taken too much time and effort to get the office established. We have ordered a section of new automatic keyless look boxes and when they are installed will make the office look much better. Let every man who has a spark of enterprise about him put his shoulder to the wheel of success and help make Mitch what it ought to be.
