The Knights Industrial and Educational Institute asked the State Legislature for the following in pravenments, A $1000 central heating plant This plant is to house the laundry, ice and cold storage and electric light plant. The school at this time has five steam heating units which is costly to operate and in many ways is very unsatisfactory. $1000 for a new hospital, supply LINCOLN DAY CLUB DANQUET mented with the funds already raised by the Colored people for the erection of a hospital and Nurse training school. $10,000 is sought for the completion of the Boys' dormitory. One wing of the dormitory remains incomplete. In this new wing it is hoped that a Gymnasium and bathing pool can be placed. With these rooms in the wings added, the present drill room can be used for dormitory space and will enable us to take care of from thirty to fifty more boys. $10,000 is sought for additional room to the Boys' Trades school and better equip the school to teach carpentry, auto mechanics, blacksmithing, tailoring and printing to the young men who come to the institute for trades. $6,000 for teachers cottages. Several families are now housed in the Boys' dormitory. It is hoped that the legislature will see fit to provide all those very urgent needs for the institution as well as amply take care of the maintenance, repairs and salaries of the teachers. Because of the war, none of the institutions have made any extensive improvements or repairs. --- MAN HELD IN JAIL AT FAYETTE, MISSOURI, CLAIMS TO BE FROM TOPEKA—CHARGED WITH IN- SANITY.

HILL CITY KANSAS The Second Baptist church is being ably pastured by Rev W F Warder, who is also the District Missionary of the Smokey Hill River District Association, is bringing things to pass in the western part of the state. The church has made no mistake in securing him as pastor. And the district is being wonderfully helped, especially is this trust with the smaller churches, they seem to be taking on new life. The few years of his pastorate of this church has gained for him a wide reputation as a church builder. A few months ago, he suggested to his good people that they were in need of a house in which to worship.God Being a progressive man with a progressive people, they set their heads together and now they have a slendid church edifice, with a seating capacity of 150 fixed up in a modern, way which is a credit to this city and the western section of the state. For the past two weeks they have been engaged in revival services being ably assisted by Rev C P. Morrow, moderator of the Smokey Hill River Association and pastor of the St James Baptist church, Emporia, whose sermons have been convincing and powerful, and has caused souls to rejoice in the God of their salvation. The work has been greatly benefi- fied and his services highly appre- ciated. We pray that he may life long and continue to preach sound doctrine.

Kansas January 27, 1921 Mr Nick Chiles, Editor, Topeka Plaindealer. Dear Sir: Since Mr Hill did not explain in his letter to you what I wished to have done, I will reply to your article of January 14th, myself. What I wanted to say in regard was that you did not publish all of the facts of the case. You said that the authorities would do well to investigate the gentleman that saw Green and who so readily recognized him, as though there was a possibility of him, (myself) being the guilty party. Now if you had mentioned the following facts also, it would have had a different bearing here as well as elsewhere. You forgot to mention that the double barrel gun that the murderer used was identified by Green's father in law as being his, and that corresponding shells to the one loaded shell and the empty shell found in the gun at Green's house. That he was not at home all night, and that he would not explain where he obtained money to pay off an overdue note at the bank two hours after the murder, which he could not pay the evening before. That Green had tried to borrow and being unsuccessful said he had to have money and would get it if he had to do something desperate along with these are other faces which I am not permitted to mention. As for riall feeling you never mentioned the fact that the evening of the number when the mob had formed for the purge of lynching the guilty party is seen as I said they had the right man. Instead of telling the mob he was the man I told them that I was not sure he was the right man so I will a lynching. Republic: I call this I have received numerous threats and one in the form of a letter from I suppose friends of the censor for no other reason than because I identified them as being the man I saw in the store, and that two other people saw him get when I started in I feel as though I had done my duty both in identifying him and doing what I could to avail a lynching, which I did. And I feel that I was done an injustice with your article because I am only a small part of the evidence against him and such articles only kindle the flames of hatred toward me in the originators of the above mentioned threats. And Mr. Chiles, in the head lines of your article in reply to Mr. Hill, you say that Client claims that facts hurt his reputation. I make no such claim because you have not until yet published the facts, and it would help matters if you would do so. You say you were not referring to me. I take it that you were, because I am "the gentleman" as you put it in your article. And that you were only endeavoring to aid the authorities in bringing the guilty to Justice and I am sure any aid you could give them would be appreciated, but I believe there would be a better way to advise them than thru the columns of a newspaper. Don't you think so? As it is hardly probable that there are any suscribers to the Flaindealer among them. I trust that you, as President of the Kansas Defense Society will look at this not as a racial criticism, but as a correction to an oversight. As to a libel suit I had no such intentions, I only ask that FACTS be published Respectfully RALPH C. MITCHELL, KANSAS AUTHORS SELECT COLORD MAN A JUDGE The Kansas Author's Club composed of poets, story writers, news paper writers and others of a literary inclination, was in session in this city this week.

Lovely to help friends drags down many a young life. Pleasing other people is a mighty good thing, but we should never sacrifice principle, or derail just to be popular. It will full of ignorance and the ignorant will always criticize, because they live to suffer life, for they know no better. Now light is not falling upon the dark corners and the eyes of many are being opened. The dark future Christian is a disobedient individual and honest people should steer clear of them. —Apology of Dennis S. Thompson Duty sometimes means danger. But the consequences of doing what is right will be taken care of by God. He has promised that over and over again in His word. The consequences of doing what is wrong must be met, in all their horror and ruin, by the evil door. No danger is so horrible as this lonely, unescapeable one. The making of a people is about the same as the erection of a building; the building to be safe and secure, must be builted upon a foundation adequate for its support, and in such manner must we build upon these principles that will have a tendency to promote good citizenship. The place however, to make the start toward the formation of character, and the elevation of the standard of citizenship, is in the home. Psychologist tell us that the child's training should begin several generations before its birth, to make an ideal citizen This is probably true This is probably true. It is a very difficult thing to make the child what it should be, if the parents are not what they ought to be. Home is the first and most important school of character. It is there that every human being receives their best moral training, or their worst, for it is there that they imbibe those principles of conduct which endure through maturity, and cease only with life. Home makes the man. For the home-training includes not only manners and mind, but character. It is mainly in the home that the heart is opened, the habits are formed, the intellect is awakened, and character moulded for good or for evil. From that source, be it pure or impure, issue the principles and maxims that govern society. Law itself is but the reflex of homes. The tiniest bits of opinion sown in the minds of children in private life afterwards issue forth to the world, and become its public opinion; for nations are gathered out of nurseries, and they who hold the leading-strings of children may even exercise a greater power than those who wield the reigns of government. The childhood shows the man, as the morning shows the day. Those impulses to conduct which last the longest and are rooted the deepest, always have their origin near our birth. It is then that the germ of virtues or vices, of feelings or sentiments, are first implanted which determines the character of life. These homes, which are nurseries for children who grow up into men or women, will be good or bad according to the power that governs them. Where the spirit of love and duty pervades the home, where head and heart bear rule wisely where the daily life is honest and virtuous, where the government is sensible, kind and loving, may we expect from them such a home and beings, capable as they gain the requisite strength, of following the footsteps of their parents, of walking uprightly, governing themselves wisely, and contributing to the well-being about them. fare of those about. On the other hand, if surrounded by ignorance, coarseness, and selfishness, they will unconsciously assume the same character, and grow up to adult years rude, unculivated, and all the more dangerous to society if placed amidst the manifold limitations of what is called civilized life. "Give your child to be educated by a slave," said an ancient Greek, "and, instead of one slave, you have two." you will then have a The poorest dwelling presided over by a virtuous, thrifty, cheerful and cleanly woman, may thus be the abode, of comfort, virtue, and happiness; it may be the scene of every enabling relation in family life. It may be endeared to man by many delightful associations; furnishing a sanctuary for the heart, a refuge from the storms of life, a sweet resting place after labor, a consolation in misfortune, a pride in prosperity, and a joy at all times. In a great many homes where the proper discipline would be applied, the parent too often becomes lax in their duty because of the criticism of a claag of people, who are continually seeking the downfall of their neighbors children, simply for their own selfish gain. After influencing the parent in many cases, they are able to lead the child into the paths of destruction The dance hall, gambling done, and other hellholes of questionable repute A large majority of our group, consisting of educational leaders, Christian workers, sociologists, and psychologists, tell us that you cannot fit an adult's head on a child's body. Very well, so we cannot, but our choices should not be of such a nature as to encourage the child in doing wrong The smallest life can be won better fully be beautiful in its place 14 our duty is to Christians, and it is to encourage right living and doing, among us if we ever expect to be a people of worth. There is no use of educating the children, nor getting them into the church, if the purit is not going to keep up the moral status of the home. We have among our group many comfortable homes some that are modern and well provided for. Yet in many instances the child comes home to witness dancing, policy playing, boot legging to hear of stealing and getting things anyway that they can; it has to live under the double moral standard and many of the parents are so called christians, church officers, and society leaders. We wonder at the growth of crime, and yet we continue to feed our children into the hands of these human snakes who are the advance agents of crime. Our group can be no exception to the rule. What it has taken to make other people a success that much will be required of us. We must teach right living among us, which shall be applicable to young and old alike; we must have the proper respect and feeling toward our neighbor, which will impress the same thought upon the children's minds. Pinchard once said, that, true liberties consist in the privileges of enjoying our own rights not in the destruction of the rights of others." --Dennis S. Thompson Bethcl. Kans 18 HEAR DR EDMUND J.

It is an indication of the larger interest in economic growth of the Race and says: "This is a reminded that the four colored banks of Richmond have combined deposits of $1,381,526, and this does not take into account perhaps $2,000,000 belonging to colored people on deposit in the white banks of Richmond. It is perhaps a conservative statement to make that the colored people of Richmond have on deposit in all banks something near -4,000,000. In addition they are paying taxes on property valued at approximately $3,500,000. In only one other southern city is the Negro population reported to possess greater combined wealth, and Richmond is fast overhauling them." Have you lost your appetite?

METROPOLITAN HALL (By The Associated Negro Press) Jackson, Miss, Jan. 28.—Governor Lee M. Russell notified Sheriff Shannon, of Warren county, that he would give him one week to deliver R. T. Goldsby, a Negro, to the penitentiary authorities at Percham farm, and that in the event of his failure to do so the governor would either remove him from office or institute proceedings for possession. Goldsby was sentenced in Warren county to a five-year term in the penitentiary for receiving stolen goods. After a short while in prison his sentence was suspended by the governor upon representations of the man's attorney's that he was in bad health and could live but a short time. An insistent demand was made for the return of Goldsby to the prison, whereupon the governor cancelled the suspension.

THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S HISTORY MUSEUM WEWOKA, OKLA. Special to The Plaindealer. Special to THE HANDMASTER Grand Master Weber, spent three days in Wewoka the past week. While here was the guest of Past Master, J. Coody Johnson. Dame Jumor has it that there was a big stir in Unity Lodge, No. 106, and that there was a house cleaning, and that the lodge is temporarily in the hands of Past Grand Master, J. Coody Johnson, and the following persons will be the new officers. J. P. Davis, W. M. James Wiesner, S. W. Ed. Brown, J. W. Dr. H. R. Bennett, Secretary, John T. Burns, Treasurer, Past Master Edwards removed from office. Past Master, J. H. Brown, removed. The Grand Master made some sweeping rulings and seems to know where he stands. The Grand Master looks the very picture of health and says the order is well in hand and conditions are favorable. In hand, T. H. Bickham seems to be Dr W. T. Rickman seems to be very busy with patients at Lima and Wenoka and is well prepared to care for the sick. Mrs. Cora Chiles is slowly improving after many days of illness. Mr George West writes very favorable of Old Mexico. Prof. D W. Lee is visiting Hot Springs, Arkansas where he is booked to make several speeches Prof B R Jefferson and wife, of Lima were shopping in Wewoka, on Saturday. The Capital Democrat, says that two of Seminole county Negroes are sure to be Register of the U. S treasury, so here is to you boss, get there if you can. It is reported that Hon. G. W. Pittman borrowed a copy of the Black Dispatch, of Mr. Ed. Brown, stating that he wanted to carry it home to read, but instead, found himself in the Capital Democrat's office in white democratic paper edited by Mr J. L. Da), one of the best south-ern white men in the state of Okla, and who has done more to keep peace between the races than any other one man in my knowledge. Mr Pittman's intention was to arouse Mr. Day against the promoters of the Independent Industrial League and carried the Black Dispatch to prose his contention, which Mr. Pittman had a perfect right to do for he is an honorable gentleman, if he believed the article appearing in the Black Dispatch was misleading and was calculated to do harm, he could not have carried it to a better man than Editor Day. Pittman was much worked up and was foaming at the mouth and when he had finished his story, he learned that all men were free and had a right to better their conditions by moving if they so desired, and it was a wonder to many white men why the Colored people did not move, and it is a mastery to me also why so many are contented in their present condition. But this article will explain why so many race riots and mobbings occur in the south, due to some energize Negro to do harm to his race by his informing his white citizens of the arts and dings of those who wish to help and build a race like better new bond. This old trial has been at tempest. Now the many times but has it of its purpose our white cities are same and know John though he can have on a new district, the business white man of St. Paul county knows that all races and men that are fairly intelligent will move from under pressure when the opportunity comes. The American Negro is as never before, and is just about able now to attend to his own busi-ness and needs little adyke from failure, so that bunch has kept up eternal strife has lost their influence and will never be able to prey upon the white public as in days that are gone. Wewoka's population is increasing, not a single vacant house in town. So as these come in let others move up. There is a great demand for farms among Colored people. It seems that the white land lords are following the rule of self-preservation. Mr Colored Man. It is up to you, you have slept on the job. The Independent Industrial League is gaining favor, and the President is besieged with inquiries for speakers and literature. The league intends to put on an extensive campaign that the public may be better informed. Rev. J. A Smith, presiding elder, of the A. M. E. church held his quarterly meeting here last Sunday. The Rev. is a great worker. There is much complaint why the Black Dispatch don't make its arrival. Its up to you Mr. Editor, to send the papers.

Kathryne Moore is beloved with sister and friend after living bravely struggle and it takes her a year for her to still find what life really is. We say bravely and it was for it to be an easier task to leave the companionship of a loving husband; the protection of a fear brothers; the kindness of a little girl her thou- child, her home, her pride, her joy which bears the imprint of loving care, earnest thought and patient labor. All these she left for a hope She was not alone in this hope. A devoted husband was faithfully sustaining her in every possible way. A delicate brother was tenderly caring for her home that she might be relieved of the responsibility other relatives and friends were daily sending good wishes and prayers. Thus we were all united in one common hope. The great, broad western country with its wonderful mountains and lakes its tall pines, its gushing torrents and waterfalls, its fine sun and air, does give one a larger sense of God, who is our life our All in All. Its vastness deny all sense of limitations, or impossibilities, hence if it is health that one seems to need, such a country would seem to hold all that could be desired, and it does for all of God is present all the time everywhere. Mrs Moore did not fail, no, for day she is free from all pain and sickness, nor knows any sense of human limitations. As a rose told of by A. L. Print, that once grew beside a study wall, and climbed to a great height until it found a crevice, then following the light, it crept thru and bloomed on the other side, she is blooming, resting "on the other side of Fortran in the sweet fields of Eden." Katherine Moore will ever be loved and cherished in the hearts of her friends and all who met her for her unassuming kindness and gentle Christian life. GREAT BEND, KANSAS Ity Special Correspondent.

(By The Associated Negro Press) Atlanta Ga Jan -Negroes reefing from Hall County Race disturbances have been frequent in this section of the state for sometime past. This condition has led to much controversy as to the best means to elled that only drastic method could be successfully used because the Negroes were determined to fight the issue to a finish This concussion developed into a wholesale disarming of the Negro population. This was accomplished by the issuing of a general sound order of the homes and a conflation of all firearms thus discovered. Then a "nigger drive" was opened and the Colored people forced to flee to other parts Gainesville has gained in Negro population as a result and chaos is prevailing in that section as one of the results. The governor has been asked to take steps to relieve the situation. Up to this time he has evinced no interest in the matter. (By The Associated Negro Press) Buffalo, N. Y., Jan-A few weeks ago, we learned that the name of Frederick Douglass had been rejected for the Hall of Fame and many of our men and women felt very bad because this illustrious man had not been chosen. We have the opportunity to place his name forever in the Hall of Fame at Anaostia, D C. by making his home so beautiful that visitors from all over the world will make a beaten path to "Cedar Hill." Four years ago the Trustee Board of the Douglas Memorial Home sought the help of the National Association of Colored Women and in ten months we paid off the mortgage and saved the home from any further embarrassment. We did not restore, we simply redeemed, then the war came on and we could not finish the job. I called for ten thousand dollars for restoration, and during these years, in addition to wiping off the mortgage, we have raised an additional sum towards the restoration of four thousand dollars. To completely restore the home, at least six thousand dollars is needed, and today we are sending out what we hope will be the last appeal to club women and race men and women to fitinly celebrate the birthday of our illustrious Douglas by appropriate exercises, and by raising as large a sum as possible. Every organization or individual that contributes $2500 will have their names written upon the parchment that will hang forever upon the walls of the home, thus showing to our children the names of men and women who desired to make of Cedar Hill our Hall of Fame. Mra, C J Walker was the largest contributor and to her memory a special home is restored.
