Plaindealer

The Topeka Plaindealer New York, April 2.—The Nationa Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, today made public a letter received from Governor Hugh M. Dorsey of Georgia, relative to the disclosures regarding peonage in Jasper Co. Georgia, which caused the murder of eleven Colored peons. The Governor definitely promised to do all in his power to see that the perpetrators of the system are punished. Governor Dorsey's letter to the Association reads as follows: "I assure you that all true Georgians deploy the awful tragedies recently brought to light, and I am leaving no stone unturned to put the "wheels of justice" in motion, and hope to bring about the conviction of the guilty parties. The Governor at you know, has no jurisdiction. All he can do is to try to bolster up the officials elected by the people." BALT LAKE CITY, UTAN It is not often that we ask for space in your valuable paper, but because the Lord has blessed us so during this Eastertide, we would like to make this little notation, trusting that it will be a source of encouragement to other churches. Easter was the consummation of a three month effort to wine out a mortgage of $1300 which had been reduced from $2300 by our present pastor. On the day which we observe as the resurrection of our Saviour, we laid upon the table over $1400 cash, for the mortgage, and $81 as an Easter offering. Our pastor is closing his third year during his administration we have bought and paid for a new furnace for the church; $52500 worth of furniture for the parsonage and have paid $300 to beautify the church. All debts are "paid in full." We ask the prayer of the general church that God may continue to bless us. "Away out here in the Golden West" or better still, in "God's country." We have a splendid young minister and with his splendid wife, we predict for them a wonderful career in the church. Rev. Xr C. R. Runyon, B D, is a graduate of our own Payne Seminary at Wilberforce, Ohio. Ester Fagan.

April 6—Torturing dances by religious fanatics on the edge of the Sahara desert were described by Wentworth Fields, a dry goods merchant, who arrived here on yesterday. Relating what he saw on a tour of Africa, Fields said: "A motor trip took us to the town of Kairouan, about a hundred miles south of Tunis. We arrived thers in the midst of the greatest religious festival of the year. It was being celebrated by the Alssowas, an Arab tribe. One feature of the dance was piercing the cheeks of the dancers with long steel rods, and also thrusting the rods thru the fleshy parts of their bodies. The fervidness with which they prayed, /we were told, was responsible for the failure of the blood to flow. "Other dancers ate scorpions and ground glass." If they suffered any pain we could not notice it." OMAHA NEBRASKA She bade no one a last farewell She said\ good bye to none Her loving heart had ceased to beat And er'e we knew it, she was gone Her winning ways and pleasant smiles We always will recall She had a kind word for each one And died beloved by all.

Her Mother, Daughter Lenora Gray, vice Grand Precestress was at her bedside when she passed away. She left a most beautiful testimony and left to mourn their loss, a husband, mother, father, 5 brothers, 5 sisters, a grandmother and many other relatives and a host of friends. Whereas: God in His Alwise Providence has seen fit to call from labor to reward, Mrs. Lenora Gray Stewart Whereas: This community loses a beautiful character and the family, a loving child: Be it Resolved that we bow our heads in humble submission to Almighty God, for the Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Be it Resolved that a copy of these resolutions be sent the family and a copy printed in the Topeka Plaindealer. To the bereaved family and friends we extend our heart felt sympathy. We know that she has only fallen asleep Her Pilgrimage was made with God His soul divine was on her brow His Truth inspired her every word That truth which Christians chiefly know.

The Federation had its origin in the city of Topeka, twenty one years ago and each year has held its annual meeting at some point in the state, at the above mentioned date, with the exception of 1903, the year of the flood. The first woman's club was organized in Topeka, twenty two years ago by Mrs Elizabeth Washington, under the name of The Oak Leaf Club, and from that time on, a number of other clubs organized, after which, a City Federation was organized and after years of existence, a call was sent out to organize a State Federation, thus we have today the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. At the first meeting, Mrs Washington was elected president, being re-elected for three successive years, through its early existence and greatest struggle. It has been said by the Club women of this section that Mrs. Washington is to the club work in this state, what Mrs. Jda B. Wells Barnett, is to the club work in the United States, the pioneer.

During the past year the club has done considerable charitable work. During the twenty one years of the club movement in this city and points in the state, she has held some responsible position. At present she is president of the City Federation. The Federated Clubs of Topeka will be in readiness to receive its delegation at the time of its meeting We hope the local citizens of the city will turn out in large numbers to see and hear what the club movement speaks for our women in the state of Kansas. Some of the brightest and most brilliant women will discuss various subjects most vital to our work and the race at large CARBONDALE, KANSAS Mrs Daley Freeman and Mrs Mattle Wilson attended the Foster services held at Nov.

Any one knowing his whereabouts, kindly notify his mother, Mrs. Ruby Smith, 622 N. Topeka avenue, Topeka, Kansas. ma. Please S LOST TO THE PUBLIC. We wish to state that we are receiving letters from all over the country asking what action Attorney Bell, Leavenworth, has taken toward securing the release of the Soldiers of the Houston riot, who are serving life sentences. As president of the Kansas Defense Society, and the one who employed Atty. Bell, together with Attorneys Scott and Barber, I understand that Attys. Scott and Barber have not been able to get full touch with Atty. Bell in this case since he has collected the money from the various organizations and public meetings over the country. I am informed that no expense money has been received by these two gentlemen to come to Leavenworth to prepare the brief of the case. I am also informed that these gentlemen are now waiting and anxious to be consulted with as to the best methods to pursue in securing the release of these unfortunate men. United States District Attorney Harvey, who is on the opposite side, states that he would be pleased to assist the attorneys in bringing the case before the Department of Justice and the Secretary of War, and he had no doubt whatever, but that the Department would recommend the release of those men, and that the President would sign it. But as yet, Atty. Bell has done nothing along this line to release these men, as there is no doubt whatever of their innocence. The conglomeration of testimony taken before the court martial and the testimony given against these unfortunates was more or less given by men in fear of intimidation, or in an effort to save themselves, which I am told was brought about by irresponsible detectives and Texas officers, who went there to contact some of them whether the evidence was sufficient or not. We have written Atty. Bell at various times and as yet we have had no answer as to what he is doing. This alone, shows his insolence in the matter and the mistake made in placing the case. But we are going ahead just the same and if action is not had shortly, we will place the matter with others along with Attys. Scott and Barber and go forward with the case and let Attorney Bell keep his money. Signed: NICK CHILES, President, Kansas Defense Society THE EDITOR'S NOTE BOOK In these days we are not surprised to hear of anything low and disorderly being committed by white people. It is strangely amusing to find and see so much pretense about whites hating Colored people. We have found this condition to be only skin deep and will not stand investigation in the sunlight. We wish to cite to our readers, a case here in Shawne County where a white woman has been married to her husband, a white man, for thirty years. They have seven children and it is reported she is now attempting to secure a part of the real estate and property left by a deceased Colored man through her attorney, claiming that two of these children, who are boys, are the sons of this Colored man. Their ages are something like 14 and 16 years. This white husband who is living with her is just as happy and contented as though he were living with the Queen of England TO TOPEKA AND ITS CITIZENS. Everyone should get ready and assist in entertaining the Supreme organization of the Knights of Pythias and the Court of Calanthe, which meets here for one week during the month of August. Several thousand persons will need rooming and eating places for this time. They do not come as house guests but as visitors to the city, who are willing to pay a reasonable price for their accommodations. It is the duty of each and every Colored citizen to clean house, paint up and put on the little necessary touches and make arrangements to accommodate as many of these strangers as you possibly can. Give them just what you would expect if you were in their places. The treatment and hospitality afforded them will not only reflect upon the city, but upon us as a race. Let us make that impression a good, wholesome one for the city of Topeka and its thousands of representative Colored citizens. Call the following persons for INFORMATION: Miss Mattie A. Porkins, 1129 Kansas avenue, phone 3300 or 3983 Mrs Matley Coran, 1155 Clay street, phone 5405-W. Hon H. I. Monroe, County Court House, phone 256 Prof. It H. Wade, 1100 College avenue, phone 1223.

NORENE DAVIS, Grand Worthy Counsellor Vice Chairman General Committee, 1146 Washington Blvd. Kansas City, Kansas. It is rumored they have lived on this Colored man's farm for years and the white husband had knowledge of what was going on all the time. He must have known, as the two boys show favor of their mother, but as to complexion, they are of the Colored race and have the ear-marks of their father. We would like for some of our white brethern to explain this to us, that is, why all this pretense of hatred toward Colored people on the part of the whites, when such transactions as those are being carried on at times, supposedly out of sight, but at the same time known to members of both races! And yet the white man in his daily press and his literature, portrays the Colored man as a hidden mystery; not entitled to citizenship, or at least they will not grant hint such CAPT. McLEAN MAKEB GOOD AS HEAD OF THE BOY8 IN DUSTRIAL SCHOOL We wish to compliment Capt. W. P. McLean, Superintendent of the boys' Industrial school, of this city. This institution is supported by the state of Kansas and is where the incorrigible boys are kept and trained until they have proven themselves worthy of liberty at home. Boys of various nationalities and race are all found working at the mechanical trades, farming and engaged in amusements of different kinds. Athletics is one of the chief pastimes engaged in by the boys. The institution maintains a splendid band which has make an excellent impression upon the public of this city. In various celebrations, ceremonies, and functions of the city this band is to be found participating. The band is composed of both white and colored boys who are proficient in music and familiar with the instruments. We find in all the exercises and games of the institution, the color question does not enter. Colored and white boys mingle together without any feeling whatever. Capt. McLean makes no distinction in the institution and for this reason is deserving of much credit. Very few would or have the moral courage to The most encouraging thing about it, is that he is getting commendable results. He is teaching the young members of these races to respect the rights of each other in their small dealings, thus instilling in them these fundamental principles which will stay with them in after life. When a boy is promoted above another, it is where the case is merited and not because of his color or nationality. I would that we had a few more such men as Capt. McLean in theountless institutions through out the country. Such influences as tested by him have a wholesome effect upon civilization in these trying days. It helps to hear the spirit of the Golden Rule. We trust that he will some day be placed in a more profitable and responsible position where he can render equal service to humanity. Long may he live. He is a white man who is looking in the right direction and doing much toward a solution of a complex problem. His institution will when the new buildings and repairs are made, be a model for our sister states, as well as the United States, to follow. Especially do we refer to Missouri. A Mrs. F. B.

The Annual Thanksgiving services of Cyrene Commandry, was held on Easter Sunday at Lane Chapel. The Reverend T. S. Saunders, of Mt Olive M. E church delivered a masterly discourse on the occasion. The Commandry with the Royal Arch Chapter turned out and made a grind showing. Under the administration of Hon H I Monroe this organization has reached a high standard and is doing well. They deserve great credit for the showing made on this day. Mr Earl King, who was employed as a janitor in the Columbia building, on Kansas avenue, fell from the sixth floor, where he was washing windows to the paved side walk below. While no blood escaped from the body, on being examined in the office of a physician in the building expired in a short while. On examination, it was found that most every bone in the body was broken. The body was removed to the Shellabargers establishment, where it was prepared for burial and shipment to Sugar City, Colorado, the home of his parents. Mr John King, his father and his sister came to accompany the body home. The Coroner's Jury investigated the case and reported that the help was not properly laced or not tightly fastened, which they are not required to do. We understand this case comes under the Compensation Act and the insurance companies who are paid to carry these risks should be compelled to pay in full and not dilly daily with the concern who put their money for this purpose. Mr King was a member of Excelsior, No 3, Knights of Pythias and had only been a member a short time. An escort of the lodge members accompanied the Lady to the train on Sunday night where it was shipped to the home. Mr. Moses Caldwell and Miss Ida Craig of Hutchinson, Kansas, came to Topeka, to attend the funeral of Miss Hattle Dennis, a relative. The funeral was held from Stonestreet's chapel. Miss Gertle Owens, one of the popular school teachers of Wichita, was the guest of Mrs Cora Ray, last week. She owns considerable property in this city. According to Dame Rumor, she is to be led to the altar soon by one of the leading physicians of that city. The Plaindealer is awaiting the invitation. Rev. H H Lee, of Jetmore, who has been attending the legislature during the past session, returned to his home. He subscribed for the "People's Paper" before leaving.

Mr. Carter is one of the leading citizens of the city and the state, a high Mason and a good christian. Dr. O. N. Jackson, one of the leading physicians of the city is enjoying a lucrative practice. He is contemplating an extended trip shortly. Hon Dennis Jones, attorney at law, has a large and growing practice and is kept busy before the courts --- KANSANS ON THE PACIFIC COAST From the California Eagle Los Angeles, Cal. Mr George Slaughter, Jr., of Topeka, Kansas, was in the city last week and spent several days visiting his aunt, Mrs Estelle Ross, 1809 Central avenue. Mr. and Mrs Leroy Wilson and two little sons departed one day last week to Topeka, Kansas, where they will spend several months with their parents.

Saint George McCallum, formerly pastor of Calvary Presbyterian church, Topeka, Kansas, pranced in upon our editorial carpet Thursday afternoon and we enjoyed a brief chat with him. The Reverend informed us that he was just 'looking around' and in all probability might become one of us. He is a high class, clean cut Christian gentleman, the writer having had the pleasure of a personal acquaintance with him for a number of years and we trust that he will remain with us.
