The Topeka Plaindeale Colored Town Gets First National Bank of Race TWENTY-THIRD YEAR NUMBER 16 Kansas Defense Society through Its Counsel Atty. Elisha Scott Surmounts Obstacles and Secures Charter. Through the efforts of Attorney Elisha Scott, Counsel for the Kansas Defense Society, the Colored Incorporators of Boley, Oklahoma, have received a charter from the U. S. Treasury department to incorporate and establish a bank and do business in the town of Boley. Several months ago this matter was placed in the hands of the Kansas Defense Society who directed its counsel to proceed to tear down the barriers of opposition which confronted the organization of such an institution at that particular time and place. Attorney Scott at once went to Boley and counselled with Dr. Nelson and the Incorporators and then proceeded to Washington where he placed the matter before the Federal authorities. The charter was received this week. This National bank will be the first bank of its kind in the country controlled by Colored people, as well as being located in a town owned and controlled exclusively by Colored. The bank will open for business in a short while and will probably bear the title of The First National Bank of Boley. THE REV. X. C. R. RUNYON, B. D. REPLIES TO MR THOMPSON'S ARTICLE ON "THE MAKING OF A PEOPLE." 550 So 5th East Street Salt Lake City, Utah. My dear Sir: When it was announced thru the columns of your paper that one of your reporters, Mr Dennis S. Thompson by name, was going to contribute an article in the issue of March 25th, upon the subject of "The Making of a People", I must admit that I was very anxious to receive that issue, but since reading the article, I am satisfied that the brother merely took that subject as a point of departure, and immediately proceeded to attack the church and the ministry. It seems to me that we as ministers of the gospel have let such criticisms go by too long unmolested. There are two kinds of criticisms, constructive and destructive—we are always willing to accept the former when tendered in the right spirit, and by competent criticism, but when these little upstarts who are seeking a short cut to the limelight, hop on the church of God, because he knows by attacking that institution, on account of its popularity, he will get a hearing, then I say it is time to put them in their place, and I for one do not hesitate in so doing. If our brother has a talent for writing, let it be remembered that Mr. Hardling's cabinet is still being discussed, the League of Nations is not dead yet, nor has he been barred from the fields of science philosophy or theology. Why criticise the men and the institution that are doing more for YOU than anything else in the world? To be sure there is room for improvement even in the church, the ministry is not perfect, that only proves that we are human, besides no organization is perfect. The most intelligent men of the race are church leaders, they are working on the shortcomings of the church and it is my candid opinion that these gentlemen will not find it necessary to consult our brother upon any subject. I know this is too strong to ever hit your press, but at least kindly tender it to the gentleman with my compliments. Fraternally. Pastor Trinity A. M. B Church. Salt Lake, Utah.

YOU CAN NEVER TELL. Mafon, fld., Anil 20. (fly the Associated Negro Press)—When Akno Frances, colored, told Monroe, her husband, to feed the chickens she did not know the chicken feed was under the bed, her husband testified in his suit for divorce here Wednesday. Had she known, she might not have been so thoughtful of the welfare of the chickens. Monroe believed. It seems that when Monroe started under the bed for the chicken feed he found something else, a dusky friend of Mrs. Frances, who discarded the traditional weapon, of his color and fired a shot into Monroe's leg. This Monroe explained, was the reason he asked for a divorce decree. He received it. AT THE CAPITOL OF THE NATION AT THE CAPITOL OF THE NATION Washington, D.C. April 20 (By the Associated Negro Press)—Race prejudice opened by the Wilson administration is heiling slowly. The segregation signs in the Treasury were not pulled down until the last days of Secretary Mellon issued them and is issued a peremptory order that they be removed. Then came the petition against the appointment of a Negro as Registrar of the Treasury Failure is the forecast for the petition. However, in this connection, Congressman Martin C. Ansorge, of the 21st New York District, felt obliged to take steps to trace the origin of the petition and even went so far as to write to the President's Secretary, George B. Christian, on the matter and also to write Mrs. Virginia White Spel, chairman of the National Woman's Republican Committee as to her personal knowledge of the persons backing the effort to keep a Negro from the management of the Register's office. Mr. Christian advised the congressman that he bring the matter before the President and Mrs. Spel denied all knowledge concerning the petition. Another bit of "small business" was pulled off last Tuesday night when the Negro High School cadets were buried from the annual review of the cadet corps of the Washington High Schools Superintendent Frank Ballow and assistant Superintendent Stephen 12 Kramer are declared to be the responsible parties in this proceeding. The secret of the whereabouts of the official seal of the Confederacy is likely to remain unsolved. James Jones is a Negro, and the last link in the official chain of the "Lost Cause." he been called to his fathers and arrived the secret of the seal with him. Jones was the body servant and rusted confident of Jefferson Davis and is said to have been the only person living who could tell anything about the concerning the last official acts but stood obdurate whenever the question was brought to his notice. At the time of his death he was an employee in the Senate office building. ❖ There were 10,500 persons in the District of Columbia in 1920, ten years of age or over, who were classed as illiterate and were unable to write either in English or any other language, the census bureau announced last night. Of this number 6,073 were Colored, 1,728 were foreign born whites and 610 native whites. Per centage of illiteracy for the total population was 28, showing a decrease since 1910 when it was 49. THE SMILING "MAC" IS DEAD. William McKnight, Negro, Was Head Walter at Baltimore Nine Years. Kansas City, Mo, April 18 William McKnight, Negro, whose courteous and efficient dining room direction at the Hotel Baltimore for nine years won him a friendship among the patrons that only a head waiter can require, died at his home 1214 Woodland avenue, today. McKnight known as "Mac" to the patrons, was famed for his smiling face in troublous times. Even in the small hours of the morning after a New Years' celebration, "Mac" never lost his smile or his ever polite man- ner of administration. Following his services at the Hotel Baltimore from 1903 to 1912, "Mac" became head waiter at the Blue Goose Cafe. Later he ran a cafe of his own at 1512 E 18th street and Inter was head waiter at the Elms Hotel in Excelsior Springs, Mo. He was serving on a dining car on the Chicago, Milwaukee and St Paul railroad when he became ill a week ago —Kansas City, Mo. Times COLORED ATTORNEY STILL Chicago, Ill., April 20 (B) the Associated Negro Press)—E H Wright, the famed Colored attorney of this city, is causing the local daily press a world of worry. It appears that Mr. Wright, as the chief legal expert of the City's traction plan, has drawn $30,000 in fees during the past year. The Tribune calls attention to the fact that this is very near to one third of the sum, $107,324 paid to the entire staff of experts on the city bay roll. The "World's Greatest Newspaper" calls Mr. Wright, "Negro attorney of ability," and "Negro advisor on Mayor's Traction Plan." In the meantime Mr. Wright remains mum and continues to draw his fees. THE CHANGING TIDE OF Chicago, Ill., April 20. (By the Associated Negro Press)—A rather interesting news item appears in the Philadelphia Public Ledger referring to a meeting held there under the auspices of an Interracial committee. Sa's the Ledger "The speakers stressed the common rights of all citizens, without reference to race or color, to proter enjoyment of public utilities and to full opportunity to make the best use of God given facilities. "One of the speakers said: 'The Negro shrinks with the same delicacy as does the refined man of white skin from everything that savors of intrusion. Without congeniality of taste ad viewpoints, with out good fellowship, there can be no social equality." Raymond T. Blye, assistant professor of Economics in the Wharton School, traced the prevalent lack of understanding on equality. He showed that most white people, from childhood up, have had more contact with the uneducated type of colored people, in the capacity of unskilled laborers, such as house servants, than with people of culture and refined feeling. They consequently judge the whole race by that one type, instead of appreciating the existence of the same graduation in the Colored as in the white race. The intent of the meeting and the expressions of the speakers were indeed kindly. The vast majority of the Colored people are more interested, however in the practice of social ethics, legal justice and industrial fair play. At any rate it is rather interesting to see an interest expressed by an important group on any phase of the racial attitude UNIQUE PLAN TO RAISE Chicago, Ill., April 29 (By the Asso- cited Negro Press)—Dr. J. Russell Harvey, of St Mary's A M. B church, of this city, and his flock of wideawake church workers have devised a novel plan to wipe out the $10,000 indebtedness of the organization. The plan, as outlined by the Rev. Dr Harvey, contains two features that might be styled very unique in their way. In the first instance Alfred Clover the president of one of the thriving casualty companies on the south side, has agreed to give the church $7,000 of the $30,000 indebtedness providing the organization raises the remaining $25,000. Then it was that Montgomery Company came to the fore with an offer that includes an opportunity to wipe out at least $20,000 of the balance. This company is the manufacturer of a "wonderful respirator" that they stamp as an indispensable household necessity. St Mary's congregation has taken upon itself the sale of 100,000 packages of this product from which sales the church will receive $20,000 to be applied on the debt. ABILENE.

We have just returned from an extended trip thru the state of Oklahoma, and while we will publish the news of the trip, we wish to call our readers attention to one item of special interest of Boley, the exclusive Colored town with a population of two thousand and has one state bank. The department at Washington has granted the charter to the First National Bank at Boley, which will be known as the First National Bank of Boley. Dr. Nelson, one of the leading physicians of the state and town, is one of the prime movers in the organization with a list of strong men whom we will mention later. Through the efforts of the editor of the Topeka Plaindealer and Won Flight Scott, of Topeka and Dr. Nelson, of Boley this charter was granted, after first being denied by the Department at Washington. Through the efforts of several strong white friends of the other race, the charter was granted and the bank will be ready to do business about the 16th of August. The have the process of organization to put thru yet before they open for business. They are planning now for the building of the vaults, fixtures, and the work of transacting the business required by the government. We feel proud of this step. There are several Colored banks thru the country, but this is the first to hold a charter from the National government. This marks an epoch in the progress of the race and only serves as an index of what will be accomplished in the next few years. We understand there is an effort on foot by Grand Master Webber, of Oklahoma, to erect a monument to the memory of the late G. I. Curren, the first Grand Master of the Masons of the state of Oklahoma. His grave stands unmarked at a short distance east of Dover. We feel that the Masons of the state will get busy and erect a monument which will be commendable not only to the fraternity, but the race at large. We are indeed very sorry to hear of the death of Mrs Alva Cooke, who was the editor of the National Defender and Sun of Gary, Indiana. She was the wife of the late Hon J. D. Cooke, the founder and editor of that organ up to the time of his death some months ago, by being cruelly murdered in cold blood by his supposed brother in law. Mrs. Cooke very bravely and courageously took up the work where her husband left off and was making the paper go. She had put lots of ginger and pep into the work and the paper was improving very much over the work of her husband. She was a bright and intelligent young woman and we regret that she was called from her labor in the morning of her life. She was the sister of Madam Zenohla Dagby, one of the leading druggists of that place. Her mother Mrs Hampton, formerly of Boley, Okla, is now at Gary and will possibly remain and care for the little seven year old daughter, who also survives her mother, Mrs Cooke. The family has the deepest sympathy of the Plaindealer. It is gratifying to the editor of the Plaindealer and the Colored race to learn of the appointment of Hon. Phil. H. Brown, as Commissioner of Conciliation in the department of Labor at Washington Mr. Brown merits this appointment from the fact that he is efficient and well qualified to carry on the duties in connection with that office. He has served several terms at the National Convention headquartered at Chicago. He is a thorough bred politician from Old Kentucky and is well experienced in the game. At the same time he is a high-class gentleman, full of pride and devo- in to the race and one who is duty bound to be far to all and not in any way use his office only for the uplift and advancement of the race of which he is identified.

X-50 ATLANTA, GA We wish to state that we are receiving letters from all over the country asking what action Attorney Bell, Leavenworth, has taken toward recurring 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 is 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 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 convict 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. President, Kansas Defense Society. TO THE PUBLIC.
