The Topeka Plaindealer "On to Mexico: The Land of Opportunities" KANSAS GIRL WRITES OF CONDITIONS IN NEW MEXICO --- The Rev. J. L. Cauton, of Columbia, Mo., and Editor I. E. Mitchell, of the St. Louis Argus, visited Lincoln Institute Friday afternoon and made a thorough investigation of conditions here, in order to make a report of same at the State-write Conference held a Jefferson City Saturday, January 29. On Friday night, January 28, the members of the Senior High School Class presented a college play entitled "Mose, with Mr. Earl Brooks playing the leading role. The entire class is to be complimented on this presentation, which, in the vernacular, was a "holwing" success. Mr. George Buckner, secretary of the Urban League, and Dr. Cheatam, both of St. Louis, were the guests of the Institute while in Jefferson City attending a conference called in the interest of Lincoln Institute. Representative W. H. Moore visited Lincoln Institute Thursday afternoon, January 27, and made a thorough investigation of conditions, in order to be able to report on sale to the Legislature. The Lincoln Institute and Oglette furnished music at a conference held in Jefferson City January 29, called especially in the interest of the Institute. The following were among those present at a breakfast given Sunday morning by President Richardson. Mr. George Backner, Dr. Chestum Representative W. H. Moore, Dean Tull, Prof. Jason and Prof. Jones. LINCOLN DAY CLUB BANQUET We are in receipt of a letter which we herewith publish from Mrs. Binda Green Smith, of 510 West Lead St. Albuquerque, N. M. which speaks for itself. We are certainly proud of her because it was this office where she held her first real job and received the practice that has made her known as one of the best stenographers and typists in the entire West. She must made her home with us when she arrived from Hiawatha, Kansas, and we trust our many readers will note how this young woman has taken advantage of her opportunities and who has had the sole honor of becoming a court reporter temporarily in a town where 90 per cent of the population is white and Mexican. We wish her all the success and happiness, and she can rest assured she has a friend in the Topeka Plaindealer. Mrs Smith is an upright Christian young lady, who took up the responsibilities of her brothers and sisters after the death of a mother and three sisters within a year. This caused her to resign her position with us to assist in caring for the six children. She is a jewel and her friends in Topeka are many. The members of Shiloh Baptist church where she was an enthusiastic Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. worker say they greatly miss her. She was married to Mr. Ira Smith, one of the best printers and all around newspapermen in this country last August at Albuquerque, N. Mex. He is now connected with the California Eagle. It was while employed at the Maindealer that Cupid slipped his arrow. —Editor Albuquerque, N. M. January 19, 1921 Hon Nick Chiles. Toroka, Kansas My Dear Sir and Friend: Received your letter one day last week and you can't imagine the joy it gave me. I was afraid that in the hurry and bustle of your busy life, thoughts of me had been crowded out. I think it was this that kept me from writing you as I, like you, prefer to be remembered because of the little good I have tried to do and I would rather choose that memory instead of a personal reminder should drive your personal reminder should drive your thoughts to me. ATCHISON ITEMS. Last Sunday was Africa day at the Ebenezer Baptist Church, when the sum of $11202 was raised to buy a bell and hein to educate two African boys. This effort was put forth at the call of our Missionary in the foreign field in the person of Mrs. F. B Watson Kansas City, Kan. Rev. Thomas resigned the pastorate of Mt. Olive Baptist Church last Sunday night. Rev. Roman revived the Baptist Church at Illiwatha and left Rev. Alexander as pastor. The Allen League had a very interesting program Sunday. Rev. Cartwright's mother left last Thursday for Kansas City, Kan. Mr. Richard Gillum a member of R. H. Cain Temple, K. of T., died last Friday night. Mrs. Carrie Brown, who fell down a flight of steps and sustained three broken ribs, is resting easy. Mrs. Gladys Williams has a very severe attack of appendicitis. The Wimow Club gave a chinl supper last Tuesday evening, proceeds to go to the incoming rally in July at which time they hope to install a pipe organ and new pews and pay off the present indebtedness of the church. Mrs. Ellen Carr, who has been sick at the hour, Mr. Ben Jackson, has gone to make her home with her son at Omaha. Deputy Brown is sick at the home of his father Boone Brown. Rey Gillie was able to preach both morning and evening last Sunday. Jerry Tobert, Jr., fell and sustained a dislocated arm. The literary at Zion Baptist Church is drawing large crowds of young people and Rev Roman, pastor of the church, is proactively likely in his work as pastor. The angelist Nami Shackleford has typified fever. Charlotte Harper is suffering with pneumonia and complications. Robert Whitley has pneumonia Leslie Porter is suffering with ptyalism. Mrs Caroline Shook's house caught fire last Saturday, one room being destroyed. I am glad to note that you keep so well, and I know you must keep well as I see from the time of your letter that you still retain that happy joyful, good natured spirit charm characteristic of you. We are well-are getting that living that the world owes us and though we would much rather be in Kansas, I suppose we should not complain Dapa is cooking on a private car that runs out of here. Bud is working evenings after school at a shining parlor and saving his money with a view of going to college when he finishes and studying dentistry. Prior to my marriage I was working for the Henry Transfer Co., Colored corporation here, being employed as stenographer and bookkeeper, but I took sick early in September, and was not my normal self again until Xmas, so was forced to give up my position. I just can't be satisfied at home though. I'll rather be in an office any day and so when I began to regain my strength, I started looking about for another job. Mr. Henry is the only Colored man here who keeps a stenographer regularly employed and he had gotten a young lady from California to take my position, consequently I had to seek employment among the other race here. This town is overrun with southerners, they simply crowd into this city from Texas, so you can judge the kind of white people we have to contend with. At present I am employed in the office of the U. S. Commissioner. He is an easterner, having come here from New York state, and thus far I have been unable to note one spark of prejudice in his makeup. He is one of the wealthiest men in this town, owns a large building on the corner of Fourth and the main street which is divided into store and office rooms, one of which is occupied by himself. I do not know how long the job will last as he has never kept a stenographer only for extra work. Two weeks ago I acted as court reporter at the city court. The Negro here is trying at every opportunity to show to the white man that we have in our race the very same that he has in his—good, bad and indifferent. The white man readily concedes that we have the bad (Concluded on Page 4) LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. The Rev J W Keltner, chaplain of the House of Representatives, delivered a sermon at the B'o'clock vesner service at Lincoln Institute, Sunday, January 23. Representative Payne, of Lacee County, was a visitor at the Institute at towers Sunday afternoon. This week's Wednesday Chapel talk was given by Mr. Hur w Heller, and was on the general subject of Agriculture. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 4, 1921 MUSKOGEE, OKLA. The Negroes of Muskogee will stand by Fonso Williams to the limit of the law. The time has passed to stand by and see the members of the race outraged by crooked courts. The millions spent each year for building churches, running to church gatherings must be used for race defense. Bishop I B Scott, of the M'B church, preached at Spencer Chapel, last week. While here the bishop met many of his old Wiley students. The local paper failed to make out of Lynn what they proposed Mr. and Mrs. Flippins of Boynton were in the city during the past week on business. The Interracial Congress has proven a myth so far as ameliorating the feeling between the two races. Mr. Luther Moore, of Gary, Ind., spent a few days in the city last week. Dr Banks will move to Chicago in a few days to make that place his future home. Keep white insurance agents away from Negro homes by the slogan Dr Warring has the Gary fever He will make a trip to the magic city during the month The Lobbyist who went to Okla. City will return sometime soon. Mr. Chas Stewart, of Chicago, preached and lectured here during the past week. Charlie is all right if he would only lay off that southern "stuff" which he absorbed from Morris. "The Rape of the Innocent" is the way in which the conducting of the Negro schools is ascribed. Why do the preachers squeeze every dime out of the audience before they mention about the Blind and afflicted "Nuff sed." There are three Negro churches in town in which the deeds are in the pastor's name: Sure for a job. The public should come to the rescue in the Johnson case. Johnson was shot last fall by officers who had no writ for him. Let us make an example of the promiscuous shooting once for all. Rev. Gray has resigned the pastorate of the Central Baptist church Who will be the next victim. Mr. Walter Hughes is seen every clear day sporting a four thousand dollar Cadillac. Dr got the rocks, boys The "dirt dobber" preacher was in his stand at Macedonia last Sunday. He got his wad and returned to Texas. The Baptist State school is holding up well under these strenuous times. Much praise for the managers. Prof Benselly has accepted a position in the city schools at Wagoner. G S Parker, the oil man is back in his office after several days on the road. K M. Mason of K C spent several days visiting his brother. Prof J E. Mason The Colored citizens here are feeling shaky over Mr. Harding's constant visits to the south. Similar action with other presidents has convinced them what to expect. The spirit of the Ku Klu Klan has manifested itself here in our midtown. Many of our best citizens will leave this spring and summer for California and other points north just tired of "southern swill." Three hundred years is long enough for any people to remain among their enemies. Fill the Negroes with a quick religion, keep him busy in the church, tare down and rebuild larger churches, just any old thing to make him forget his deplorable condition in the south. Chas Stewart's advice, 'talk to the white man and not about him can not claim, as we cannot get an audience. The Negro in the south is bucking the laws of nature. The Master can never treat the slave as an equal TO OUR CITY SUBSCRIBERS If our Collecitor does not reach you at home, kindly call 3300 and we will call again.

EDITOR -EDITOR MASTERLY ADDRESS TO THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE --- --- --- Gentlemen of the Executive Committee of the Independent Industrial League: this day and night, to right the wrongs of which we complain, and this we have a general greater than Joshua for Moses. 1921 brings us face to face with new conditions and new problems to be solved. You belong to a race or a group that have been denied brotherhood into the family of races, even in your native land, a land that your fathers died for, a land that your sons sacrificed their young lives upon the battlefields of Flanders, Verdun, and the Argonne; ye, many was buried in watery graves, in the vain hope that the remainder of their race might enjoy the blessings of liberty. Without him our campaign will end in defeat, with him the land we have in view will be filled with sunshine, liberty, freedom, homes, business and protection. And the land must be controlled by the man of Gallilee. He is on ahead. He knows the way. You are the draft men and the machine designers of this organization, and your ability to visualize is especially demanded at this particular time, because much power has been placed in your hands, and civilized men will watch your actions, and you have been selected to special and particular duties, which require special ability. But the answer to their fervent prayer has been segregation, discrimination, taxation without representation, and for the smallest prosecution are tied to the stake and burned in the presence of our wives and children. And the government which we love and trust seems helpless. It is impossible, however, to reach the heights of your undertakings unless special ability be coupled with superior general intelligence. You are hereby required to test your ability to carry on such a herculean task. The governors of our states appeal in var. 1. Will power is the guiding force of human destiny—power of will lifts man or men past all the handicaps and barriers. A giant will will put a brown skin body in the executive sent of the greatest nations. Consider if you will the will power of Napoleon, the one thing that put him beyond obstacles, that seemed insurmountable in the face of treachery, in the face of betrayal, of defeat, disgrace, exile and imprisonment. His giant will removed his chains and brought him back to Paris a conqueror. You will also consider the will power of Douglass that lifted him from slavery to the foremost man of his age and day. I would not have you overlook the will power of the immortal Tou Saint L'Overture, the black Frenchman, that surpassed the will of Napoleon, and handed down to his posterity a republic that stands today a monument to his indomitable will power. Look about you in the world of commerce for the man of will who has found a way. Dr. A. H. TYSON The president of our nation is powerless to reach our case, and it seems that the law makers are unconcerned as to our fate, and it appears that we are doomed to destruction. Will power is a military asset. Will power is a commercial asset, an asset which will go far in aiding you in the task that lays before you. Electricity is a recognized force of nature, and will power is a corresponding force of humanity just as real and as much of an actual driving, living force as electricity. You see electricity driving cars, you will see will power driving men. What shall we do or what shall we say, shall we yield all our rights and privileges and die without hope? or shall we seek a remedy? About 3,500 years ago the Israelites or Hebrews had been denied their rights into the family of races, and was oppressed beyond measure, but a Moses, a commander, a law-giver, a counselor, appeared on the eventful scene, without arms or army, reinforced by Anon the orator, encouraged by Joshua the soldier, who carried and manufactured a victorious army out of slaves and seifs, marched them without the firing of a single gun or the taking of a single human life, nor did they confiscate the property of their oppressors or ask separation or indemnity. First of all comes a desire to do definite things, then comes the will that does it. You must not confuse stubbornness and inflexibility with will power. Stubbornness is the crust of humanity, it breaks before it gives. On the other hand will power is the highly tempered steel that yields to conditions and returns to its former place when the pressure is released. Th stubborn man is a victim of disease, prejudice, and ignorance. The man of will is ready at all times to recode from his position, but only for the purpose of fortifying his position he never stands still. It required more than human courage and a wisdom uncommon to mortal man, to lead this host into a land where it "were invested with their manly rights. Be it understood nothing absolutely in this world is impossible to the man who can will strong enough. If more wishes were air planes we all would find in Albessia, South America or some other country. It is not absence of desire that keeps people from achievements. We all want things, but lack of will power, not merely to begin but to continue, day after day, year after year if necessary, put energy and decision and unfaltering belief back of your will power and thereby gain a power that does not recognize the possibility of a failure. About three hundred years ago conditions in continental Europe were as they are in America to lay. The ruling classes had pressed the life and chilled the hopes of the pennants and seals until there was unrest and discontent. It was, not a July picnic but a battle which they had before they really possessed the land of freedom. And we are badly mistaken if we think we can dream our way into the land of liberty. We have a real scrap on band if we are to possess the things we see from our Mountain of Vision. We must bombard the city of selfish with the high explosives on other until not a stone of its walls remains. We must storm the breastworks of "I-dont think-I-can" with the machine gun of "Till-Try." We must out to flight the air planes of bad thoughts from the horizon of our minds with the artillery of right thinking. We must expose the masked army of deceit with the torchlight of living truth. It's up to us, gentlemen of (Concluded on Page 4) AN INQUIRY that a Colored man was as safe on the streets of Holema, Arkansas as in Topeka Kansas.

The Tepeka Plaindealer is popular with the Seminole County citizens, but like a good many of our papers it is usually late. Wewoka was crowded Sunday afternoon with visitors, it being the occasion of a special session of the Executive committee of the Independent Industrial League. Many distinguished persons were present at this meeting and much important business was transacted. The increase in membership, the moral and financial backing from every quarter of the U.S. was a surprise to the promoters. The Secretary, Dr. W. T. Jickman and the Executive secretary, Mrs. A. H. Tyson, were busy for a solid hour reading letters from interested persons and enroll memberships. It appears that the minds of the Negroes are running in the same channel. It was agreed that a state meeting should be held in the month of March, for the purpose of electing delegates to represent the organization on an investigation tour, the time and place will be made by the executive committee later on Tulsa and Oka City seem to be the choice of the committee. The presidents message to the executive committee was a masterpiece and was ordered spread upon the minutes of the organization, the same to be given to the press. This organization seems to be organized for the good of mankind and the public can readily see the need of such a movement and is rallying to its support. It is planned for the delegation to leave for Mexico in April. The membership fee is one ($100) dollar. Any person by sending to Dr W T Rickman, secretary of the Largue, at Holdenville, Okla, and their names will be enrolled and a certificate of membership forwarded. All interested persons should organize locals in their neighborhoods and literature and instructions will be sent upon request to Dr A H Tyson, Wewoka, Okla.

There are colored organizers now In the field why are devoting their encr- gles to explaining the trade union movement to toilers of the race. In the last few years large numbers of colored workers have been organized into unions, and in their efforts to improve their standard in living they have received the hearty support anil the actlve co-operation of the labor movement, The labor movement in its very na- ture is as broad as humamity because the problems of humanmty are the problems of labor. In this day and generation organized labor is the only voice through which the cporesscdl of this nation of all races, of all creeds can make protest against the injus- tices which they bear, against depriv- ing them of their natural nghts, against the tyranny which they en- dure, against the necdless hardships which are thrust upen them, ayainst the power of greed, against industrial slavery. Organized labor, in. truth, is the power of reastance of all men and women of labor, It is the demand of all humanity for the best in life and the greatest in freedom.

They had petitioned and entreated the potentates and rulers; but their petitions were spurred with contempt from the foot of the throne. After much meditation one bold spirit said "Let us seek homes in a new country from under the influence of kings and potentates." There was much criticism and hard sayings against the originators of this idea, but after much discussion and disagreement 102 brave spirit banded themselves together for good or worse, and cast anchor upon the trackless and hostile sea, for some port they knew not where, but with courage and determination, they determined to be free or die. They landed in what is now known as the state of Massachusetts. Your American history will tell you the story. They found there barren rocks, wild beasts, and a man they knew not, neither could they speak his language. Not a single house to be seen, nor a whistle to be heard, but with faith in themselves and God, their leader, they began their task under oath to themselves and God. To you their example is worthy of emulation. No you must not their spirit, or will you murmur and complain good, will out an offence. May I quote Kiphing— It isn't the greatest argument.

He is well known and well liked by both whites and colored LINCOLN DAY CLUB BANQUET AND PROGRAM, FEBRUARY 12TH METROPOLITAN HALL (Obliqued from Page One and so it is up to us to prove to him that we have the good and that we are striving to do, and though we are gaining ground but gradually. It is none the less effectively. We have a branch of the NAV C.P., which is doing good work. We are segregated here in the picture houses and of course not allowed to enter the restaurants except as memorials etc., but this state has no Civil Rights law on its statute books and we have nothing that ensures us about as he chooses. Up until the last election last one white man had ever served as governor of New Mexico but at the last election, the Mexicans which are by far the largest element, were to abwinked and bought or by the running white man to such an extent that the Mexican nominee for governor was defeated and a white man placed in office. Now the white people have begun to still move against the Spanish Americans that what was initially a right granted to us has been made to and do the Mexican people now have loved and with an effort to get their rights to be free at this session on the last minute. Speaking of segregation, I noticed recently a news item to the effect that the state legal department of Kansas decided that as the states could segregate but could not deny admission to their show houses. This decision was the growth of a case of discrimination at the Liberty theatres in Paris. I was surprised and not a little disappointed at such a ruling. Oh yes I quite forgot to mention that work before last we came very near having a lynching right here in Albuquerque. Mr Pickens on the N.A.C.P. featured here recently and among other things he said that simply because lynching was being done in Texas was no surest that it would always be confined within the boundary of Texas the first thing we knew if we did not study men to prevent it lynching would be in our midst. And so two weeks ago it looked as if his words were prophetic. A Colored boy shot a white boy as a result of a quarrel and from the affects of which wound the white boy died I am told that the cause of the quarrel was because of the white boy's interference with a Colored girl but of course that fact was never printed in the papers. After the shooting the Colored lad took to the woods. A possess of armed officers and other white men began a search for him on the following day and about noon he was apprehended, but not before he had shot one of the officers, an Indian, and wounded him so severely that he died late last week. The Colored boy refused to be taken alive he was shot and killed he proved that he was not afraid to die. Word had gone out that if he was taken alive, there would be a lynching but the chief of police assured some of the Colored citizens here that if the boy was taken alive he would never allow him to be caught here and that he would do his duty toward seeing that the boy was protected of course I did not know whether or not the Chie's orders would have been carried out, but I do know that the spirit of lynching showed itself. Then after the boy was killed, are told that his body was ridden with bullets and I know that all of white men were hurt. I do not put that such really important. On Sunday night following, and the shooting occurred on a Friday the body of the slain boy was to be sent to Gonzales Texas, so home of his parents and the Colored people were informed by the undertaker, a Mexican, who had the body in charge that white folks had threatened to not allow it to be put on the train but we were to burn it. Then the Negroes who had lynched every family was ready and with the Mexicans. At an hour the outlook did not look very pleasing to the mob so that they abandoned their intentions and no violence resulted I can well guess that you have tired of reading, if indeed you have read this far, for I remember on more than one occasion seeing you real part of a lotter which was long and then cast it aside.
