The Topeka Plaincaler TO PRESIDENT HARDING. CABINET MEMBERS, ET AL. The Colored Citizens of America are Anxiously Awaiting Action. The administration at Washington has changed. What shall the Colored citizens expect? Since the days of the humoral Lincoln, the much-abused race has looked forward to the inauguration of a republican president with high hopes and inspiration. Expecting the equal enforcement of the laws in all states as far as the Federal statutes were concerned But after the passing of the great soldier-statesman, President U. S. Grant, who served this nation for eight years, and whose administration was the fairest and under which the laws were enforced to the letter, there has not been any republican president, who had the courage and who dare do the things, which President Grant did, to make the south respect the Federal statutes as to the Electoral fraternity for the sent U. S. armed soldiers sworn in thousands of deputies to seize to it that every vote, regardless of color, who wish to exercise his right of suffrage, could do so without any intimidation. Every voter had the privilege of casting a vote for the president and for congressman. The soldiers were sent into those districts of the south where the rebel democrats and the Ku Klux Klan proved upon the innocent, law-breaking Colored people, whipping and chasing them into hiding, killing and intimidating them for attempting to vote. Under the administration of President Grant, this American and unjust practice was stalled out. WHY CAN'T IT BE DONE TODAY? There is too much commercialism and bartering and not enough of the spirit of the Golden Rule. The southern democrats will never submit to the full exercise of the ballot to the Colored citizens of that section until they are made to do so. President Grant did it. Why can't the same result be brought about by President Harding and the new republican administration? The condition of the Colored citizens is just as important and should be carol for just the same as the Jew of the Armenian, the Irish or the Belgian. The South has hoodwinked the north on Negro domination for years in the face of the fact that the whites are in the majority. That the Colored race would run over and deserter the peace and 'sufficiency of the whites and that the Colored man was lazy and not progressive, was the cry of the southern whites. To all of this the latter day republicans have subscribed and pretend to believe it for commercial purposes. The American white man is far too intelligent to believe all this style of "tommyrot". The Colored race has proven themselves proficient in every line of natural endeavor, and their capabilities in doing anything the white race is competent to do, when and wherever the opportunity has been afforded them. And well have they demonstrated those capabilities. We now check it up to President Harding and the Republican party, in returning to power, to get back into the Holy path of Lincoln and Grant from which the party has strapped for fifty years or more. METHODISTS PUSH NEGRO EDUCATION DESPITE FINANCIAL LOSSES. Enlargement and extension of the facilities in the 18 schools and colleges for Negroes maintained in the Church, together with the receipt of $305,000 out of the Centenary Fund of that denomination. Is reported in the current issue of the Christian Advocate, the Methodist weekly by Dr. P. J. Maceets, Corporation Secretary of the Methodist Board of Education for Negroes, prosecutor to the Freedman's Aid Society. This statement shows that of the $107,000 pledged for Negro education by the Methodist Centenary for a period of five years, at the end of the first year $230,000, over one fourth the entire sum has been paid in spite of the fact that the financial depression has cut down the Centenary collections to 72 per cent of it, as expected. The support given to the cause of Neum education by the leaders of the West Met Episcopal church thus ensures that given to any other of the more pressing demands upon their lands which were apportioned on the basis of complete collection. The loyalty in time of depression and shrinkage has been much appreciated by the 350,000 Neum Methodists whose devotion to their church has been an outstanding feature of their group and was recognized in many speeches on the floor of the condemnational General Conference at Des Moines, May last, where two Neum ministers were elected bishops with full rank and powers. The Methodist Board of Education for Negroes supervises such institutions as Clark University, Atlanta, Ga.; George R. Smith College, Padilla, Mo.; Willie College, Marshall, Texas; Samuel Huston Col fields and cane breaks of the south land today harboring thousands of Colored people, who are growing up in ignorance, practical* slavery, because northern and southern capital has combined to add a few more to the wealthy and idle rich. This class elect congressman and U. S. Senators and get a 'big whack' at the President. This is the reason no action can be had in the enforcement or passage of laws to eradicate this evil. This element of selfish greedy bonders, with the dollar as their god, are in control and block direct legislation hearing on the evil. We humbly pray that this element does not get their octopus-like arms on this Man of God, President Warren G. Harding. He spent several days in the very hellhooks of the south Texas and Florida where they lynk bot and burned Colored man almost 45 years presence. We warn the President of his cabbage, this is what we the southerners get their blows in. Like the dewl, they use soft wipe and valuable and important gift in the pursuance of their wish. They hold up the Colored man a bushman to frighten those who wish to be frightened in order that they might accomplish their purpose. The President and his abjbiter are fully aware of the history of the Colored people and their treatment in the south. The Congressmen know of it. They fully realize that the race is entitled to better treatment The railroads in most of the southern states Jim-arow their Colored passengers almost to the point that they are treated worse than cattle President Harding can remedy this condition He appoints the Interstate Commissioners All that is necessary in this case is that he give the order to better the condition in that respect and the order will be carried out. In this connection there are things numerous, which the President and his cabinet can do which will improve the condition of the Colored citizens in this land of democracy. No show is necessary; no noise or excitement is needed. Just do it and tass on from that to other Good Samaritan deeds until all hatred and bitter malice is wiped out. If they opine that such can't be done, call upon the writer for the plan. It will not cost anything and we are not seeking any political job either, just simply want my race to be treated like the human beings which they are. We have implicit faith in President Harding. He must have been sent from God. He talks and has started out to be President like it. Can it be true? Let us hope and pray that such is the case. We have assumed the attitude of watchful waiting and look forward with great anticipation and expectation. Let the rice write letters to their Senators, Congressman and to the President, telling of the true condition of affairs as regards the race in this country.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 11, 1921 MEXICO, AS I SAW IT. By Thon, E. Inalley Shawnee, Okla. I left Muskogee, Okla., in the winter of 1910, a week later I found myself in Mexico among strange people and new conditions and unable to speak or write a word of the language, but realized readily that I was a free man. I found the Mexican people friendly and good natured. They made me welcome everywhere. Having been a slave all of my life, I could not enjoy such a sudden change, but grew into it by degrees. All public places were open to men of color, but you had to pay the cash. I left Laredo for Tampico in company with one Colored man who was in the same shape as myself, landed at Tampico, the great oil city. There we found every race under the sun dwelling there. The city is A. THOS. E. BAILEY situated six miles from the gulf on the Panico river. Here I found work and good wages, this city being full of life and bustle. A Colored man could get any kind of work or position that he was capable of filling, but without a knowledge of the Spanish language, he was greatly handicapped. This is a great field for young men and women if they go in large numbers and swing together. Here you find each race sticking to his own, the Japs are canish, and other races likewise, so it behooves the Negro to take his numbers along with him. The schools are open to all alike. It is the best however to a quire a working knowledge of Spanish in this country as it will open the way for you The climate in the Tampa district is all most perpetual spring with cool nights. Vegetables grow the ear round, a good market for every thing you raise, and you can make a crop every three months, terms and tools are not absolutely necessary, as many a Mexican makes his crop with his Machine, what is known to us as a corn knife. You can raise from 40 to 100 bushels of corn per acre on first year land with out plowing. Sweet potatoes can be planted every seven years and will do well. Irish potatoes grow large, but will not seed after the first year; sugar cane grows about half the year round, in fact everything grows in this district. The interior is poorly developed from an agricultural stand point, and the farming is done principally by colonists with tools and implements. vast tracts of fertile land is awaiting the American Negro if he will only go there prepared, and in sufficient numbers to make life real. Only a small amount of capital is required to start farming. A man should have sufficient to run him three months. One American dollar is worth two ($200) dollars in Mexican money (pocos), for after this time he will have plenty to live on a crop every three months. No mortgaging or credit in the parts where I lived. I land eight or ten kilometers from large cities may be bought cheap. The nearer to large cities the more it will cost. I am unable to say at what prices as the war has changed everything. Plenty of wild game, turkey, deer, wild hog, ducks and geese, we have plenty of season the year round. For seven years no such thing as crop failure. We have two seasons rainy and dry. The Mexican people are anxious to have the Negro record to live among them. The principal religion is Catholic, however the Mexicans are anxious to become protestants, so in moving to Mexico, you should go in large numbers, so you can establish your own churches and thereby convert the Mexicans. A great field for Nore missionaries. The country is healthful and drink in water good. The average Mexican takes life easy and is not a producer. A Mexican ranch runs from 5000 to 10,000 acres. I am now in the United States in homes of including enough Negroes to band themselves together to go to Mexico where they can assist each other as it is not wise for single families to attempt it. There are large English, French, German, Japanese and American colonies, and they look to the interest of their own countrymen only, and Negroes falling these colonies are up against it. I have examined the plan the Independent Industrial League and believe it will solve the problem of the black man, so I am working ... advising all persons who desire to go to Mexico to write or consult, Dr. A. I. Tyson, president of the League, at Wewoka, Okla, Box 67. ANOTHER INTERESTING LETTER. Dear brother in law: I received your letter about three days ago, and was more than glad to hear from you. Your letter found me well, family the same, and I hope this may find you all the same. I was more than glad to hear that mamma was well. Tell her that I am getting well of the asthma I can lie down and sleep like I did 15 or 20 years ago. I have been doing fine and the country agrees with me, the people agrees with me. Everything agrees with me but the water. It is all condensed on salt water. The work agrees with me, and the money agrees with me myself. I am working at night and I am getting $180 per week and some extra time. Brother and I together draw from $6000 to $10,000 per week. You are some peeks here from Texas and Louisiana. We can do them just like they did us in the states. You will find the name of the people (like) for on 1/2 back of talk letter. The superintendent of this new man was drinking on night I came in at my absence and was up before my people there in we tell like giving to him, being backed up by the Mexican people. They waited to take him out and shoot him the Mexican soldier cane and they wanted him badly. So we are we stand better with the Mexican people than the 'peaks' do Now you ask me about buying land I am not farming now, I am going to start in November You can buy land very cheap I do not know what you will have to pay for 40 acres of land, but to rent 40 acres of land as good as I ever saw, with good houses water and everything convenient, will cost from $1200 to You're year, and the land is rich and don't have to be irrigated to make good crops either. The richest country I ever saw in my life. I came here and from men I never saw before in my life, borrowed $187 and went back $56 miles and brought my family. Now I have paid it all back with the exception of $55.00 I started to work on the 16th of January. I am going to try to pay cash for a farm by November 15th 1921. I am going to start paying on it just as soon as I can get the endorsement from the Mexican Counsel. I don't know what it will cost me, but the man I have looking after the matter for me says it will not be over $150 per acre. They won't allow you to pay cash for it all at once. They will take cash rent for payment. The man or people make 40 acres pay them $300.00 to $400.00 per acre. Corn is worth from $1.00 to $6.00 per bushel and they make two crops each year. Yes, Brother Jones, if you were here now you could be getting $13.50 per day and I loved. I have no trade and I am getting $140 per hour. You can live here twice as cheap as you can there and I have seen more gold since I have been here than I ever saw in all my life put together. I can't tell you everything now Write me as soon as you get this letter Your Brother in Law, E S JORDAN PATTERSON POST ORGANIZED IN TOPEKA The Jordan Patterson Post of the American Legion made its initial how to American Legion organizations on Tuesday night Mar 5th, when 28 Colored ex service men of this city signed the petition for the charter of the sixth Colored American Legion post of the state of Kansas. The present largest post in the state has 27 paid members, and if it receives no new members before the Jordan Patterson post gets its charter, the local post will be the largest Colored Legion post in the state. It was named for a Tonka here, Jordan Patterson of the 92nd division, who sacrificed his life for his country in the Argonne Forest. He has a brother, Snake Patterson, living in Topeka and his mother also resides here. He was a member of the 351st machine gun battalion. The officers of the new post elected at this meeting are Clarence Hardy, Commander; William Allen, Commander; Huntley A. Mack, adjutant; Walter H. White, chaplain, and L. J. Hicks, historian. All of these men have been uniting in their efforts to organize the service men of the city. The post chaplain is an active member of the B Street Baptist church in North Topeka. The meeting was held at the Colored branch of the Y. M. C. A., 119 West 51st street. A supper was given them follower the meeting Aaron Green the Executive Secretary, aided the organization. The meeting of the new post has been set for Tuesday of each week. Daily Capital 0104 THIS RINGS TRUE. New York City The following from the New York News of Feb 12th, 1921, (Lincoln's birthday) is certainly welcome news to all of our people the country over President-elect Harding, in Florida, is the sameetalwrt, outspoken friend of the equal rights of the black race that he is in Ohio, if a dramatic incident related by a Colored correspondent, whose name is withheld from publication for obvious reasons, may be credited as an example. This correspondent tells the story in the following language Editor News I am writing you a few interesting events that have happened in the last few days. The most important something of which I think the whole world should know Warren G Harding the president elect, was entertained last Tuesday evening at the Royal Palm hotel in Miami by former Governor Durham, of Indiana, and his party consisting of a few of N. James holding citizens and Admiral Fletcher Senator Prelindhawen of N. Jersey, and several other district elected republicans. The table was elaborately decorated with flowers and candles with palm and balsam oil. Norgo question was brought to the board of the southerners as usual Mr Harding asked "How is it that on people are always trying to know the Negro from voting at it was trying to hold him down." He was answered by this southern gentleman "The N. Negro is at all ble of voting and should be kept out of political office. To which the problem that came back and stung the crowd, by saying this will be the end, this race which has had a short coming only must sixty years of freedom, and you are going to still hold them down." I am going to be a man and treat everybody as a man without respect to color and you ought to organize and bring them together, just ahead of disheurting them." So the conversation went on, as Mr Harding was still flaving the southerners in their action against the race. Admiral Fletcher asked this southern gentleman "Who are you and how did you you vote?" He answered I am a republican, but I voted the Democratic ticket." Mr Fletcher said "you are not anything, for a man who deserts his party is nothing." He also spoke of soldiers' homines and said that he must take care of the wounded soldiers at home first. — Wishita Protest CARBONDALE, KANSAS Mrs M D Jones, of Junction Cty spoke to the Missionary Ladies Circ le last Sunday Miss Abbie Poster spent Sunday at the home of her parents, Mr and Mrs William Poster Mrs T C Carter and Miss Alma Wilson, of Des Moines, in spent a week at home with their mother Mrs M Wilson Jim Mercer spent Friday evenings at the home of William Poster William Poster has had lightening rods placed on his home Mrs Wm Poster and daughter were visitors at the home of Mrs Kanse Freeman's home on last Sunday.

Bishop Parks Given Part of the Work of the late Bishop Tyree—Will Preside over Oklahoma The Bishops' Council of the A. M. I. church which was recently held in Texas, will be recorded as having been the starting places of the most far reaching and comprehensive plan for church improvements ever inaugurated. The most outstanding feature of this meeting, which caused hundreds of the representative pastors and laymen of the connection to convene in the city of Dallas, was the perfection of the plan for a three-year drive for $1 million, to be used for spreading and increasing the various branches of this great church. The proposed appropriation of this sum is as follows $1,250,000 to be used for education $100,000 for church extension; $500,000 pension fund for aged and super annuited pastors; $500,000 for social service work; $1,250,000 for the liquidation of miscellaneous jobs and institutions; equipment of schools and colleges already established; In order that this work may be satisfactorily published the entire citations control by the church be divided into 18 Zones which follow the lines of the Episcopal districts. The bishop of each church will host the campaign assisted in turn by Presiding Elders, proctors and legal directors. These regional directors in addition to sitting in the work of the committee will prepare a complete survey of all conditions social economic and political which effect members of our group wherever found. In active which will cover a per- fect of three years being directed to Prof. son John R. Hawkins, of Washington the Financial Secretary of the A.M.E. church who makes the following report of the financial status for the year of the quadren- nium. The dollar Money, of general fund reported to his office was over $220,000, which is an increase of more than $100,000 over the report for the last fiscal year. This does not include any of the funds raised for the local purposes by the various churches or for salaries of pastors and presiding elders, nor does it include the money raised through the regular channels for education in support of the 16 denominational schools, for the maintenance of the work in both Home and Foreign fields. This is a splendid tribute to the loyalty and faithfulness of the members of the A.M.E. church. Twenty per cent of the general fund is set aside for a pension fund for super impaired ministers, the widows and orphans of the deceased ministers. Bishops Pontown and Parks were taken to the district of the late Bishop Tyne. Longtime was given to Bishop Pontown and Oklahoma to Bishop Parks.
