Tulsa Riot by White Ruffians A Grave Travesty Against God, Justice and Humanity! Amen. EDITOR CHILES ON OKLAHOMA BORDERS APPEALS TO THE HIGH POWERS FOR IMMEDIATE ACTION Gov. Robertson Replies That He is Pushing a Thorough Investigation of The Horrible Affair While out on the road we note from the press reports that white ruffians of Tulsa, Okla, and vicinity, have destroyed thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of property belonging to innocent Colored people aside from taking life. We immediately sent the following telegrams in this connection. It is the duty of every citizen irresardless of race, to assist those innocent people who have lost all they possess, which they have spent years in accumulating. Competent Attorneys should be employed to bring suit against the city of Tulsa and cause the taxpayers to reconstruct and build up the destroyed homes of each and every one who suffered loss, the equal of what they were before. The City is liable for these ruffians and reparation should be made. President Warren G. Harding. White House, Washington, D. C. Race riot at Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Have you any contingent fund which could be used in aiding the innocent homeless Colored people of Tulsa, who are suffering on account of riot. White ruffians have resorted to this since the Emancipation Proclamation. Not until the officials of the law compel all classes to obey the law, such crimes will continue. White people commit crimes and the courts try them. Colored people are charged of crime, then the mobs also try them. We regret such affairs. It reflects on Christianity.

Florida State Executive Under-Grand Jury Indictment Pardoned Negroes Held in Peonage Is Charge Pensacola Fla. May 20. Federal agents were seeking to day former Governor Sidney J. Catt, of this state on warrants which were issued yesterday after his indictment by a federal grand jury on charges of peonage. The specific charge against the former governor is that he held in a state of involuntary servitude Edward Brown and John Henry Rogers and forced them to work on his plantation in Walton Courty for several months. The Negroes, both former convicts, were pardoned while Catt was governor and chairman of the state board of pardons. It is alleged that when the Negroes were released from the state prison TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE 3, 1921 Gov. Robertson's Answer A18KS 93 NL 1 EXTRA 1-70 June 4th, 1921 5 44 A M.

THERE ARE NO STATE FUNDS AVAILABLE FOR THE AID OF TULSA RACE RIOT SUFFERING HOWEVER HAS BEEN REDUCED TO THE MINIMUM THROUGH RED CROSS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES. FUND OF FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS BEING RAISED THROUGH POPULAR SUBSCRIPTION TO REBUILD HOMES ACTUALLY OWNED BY NEGROES. I JOIN WITH YOU IN DEPLORING THIS OUTRAGE. I HAVE DIRECTED THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TO PROCEED IMMEDIATELY TO TULSA MAKE A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION AND FIX THE RESPONSIBILITY. ALSO TO BRING OUSTER PROCEEDINGS AGAINST TRUE PEACE OFFICERS IF IN HIS JUDGMENT THE FACTS WARRANT. they were taken into custody by the agents of the former governor and transported to his plantation, where they were put to work. The warrants issued by the federal authorities authorized the arrest of the former governor in any part of the country and would legally permit of his extradition to Florida for trial. The Colored people have something to be thankful for and should ever proclaim the praise of the Lord and for the great turn-of things in the Southland. The above clipping of the arrest of the ex-governor of the state of Florida for peonage, holding Colored people in slavery in violation of the Constitution, subject to a class of white men like himself who are working an outrage upon the Colored people under the pretext of Law enforcement. The laws of most of the states of the South do not apply to Colored people only as the white people wish when it comes to dealing out justice to the Colored man. The Federal Government should make an example of this scapegoat, ex-Gov. Catts He has been a cat of nine lives and has lived and feasted on ill gotten gains of Colored people. The South is waking up and the Governor of Georgia stated Belgium is a paradise to the Southern States when it comes to the treatment of the Colored people We venture the assertion that this exists in all the Southern States. We want anyone being held as slaves or not being paid for their work and are forced to work against their own will or do not know their own rights and to feeble to enforce them against such monsters as this man Catts, to write all information to Nick Chiles, editor of the Topeka Plaindealer and Pres of the Kansas Defense Society and your name will be withheld and will be strictly confidential. We have instructions from the representative of the department at Washington to report all such cases and we are row seeking the information from people concerning these outrages. Let the good work go on Mr. C. F. Clickscale of Trenton. Mo., formerly of this city, was here for Decoration Day and called at this office and paid his subscription to the Plaindealer. The Smith Brothers of Ellsworth has purchased a new pressedbrick building on the main street of Ellsworth at a cost of $5,000. What they paid for this building they could not put up another. They have a fine second hand store, with hard ware and other implements. They are also pumbers and do the work for the town. These young men are progressing and we wish we had more like them in other parts of Kansas and the West. THE KANSAS EDUCATIONAL AND INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE CLOSES ITS 25TH ANNUAL SESSION ```markdown ``` (BY Mattle A. Perkins) The twenty fifth commencement of the Educational and Industrial Institute was held Wednesday afternoon May 25th, at the Institute Chapel. The Baccalaureate sermon was delivered on Sunday afternoon, May 22nd, by the Rev. C. T. Fishback, of Wichita, Kansas, a pulpit orator of some ability, who for over three quarters of an hour held his audience to rapt attention. In the course of his masterly discourse, he told how that each individual had his work to do and a contribution to make to the world, and in so doing was of inestimable service to God and humanity. 'Life's greatest ideals,' he said, "are Brotherhood and joint heirs with Christ, and no race can be exterminated, no matter how inferior, or from what depths they may come. If there lies within the individual's breast the elements to elevate and act as a helpful brother to all mankind, and, we are proud that this element is profoundly actively in the Negro race." At the close of the services the large audience gathered on the campus to witness the ground breaking for the new hospital to be erected near the Girl's dormitory. Dr. S. J. Crumbine. Secretary of the State 5. Crimsonville, Secretary of the State board of Health, the principal speaker, stated "that a hospital was not only school's greatest need, but as that of the entire state, and that he was a the present time in a position to give employment to a dozen graduate nurses, in various institutions and institutions, or furnish them with good paying positions. He also said he was proud of the fact that the Legislature had approuoted the amount of $10,000. for the new Hospital Other addresses were made by Dr T. P. Martin, Dr. George Allen, Mrs. Emma Gaines, ```markdown ``` Principal G. R. Bridgeforth of the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute under whose leadership the Institute is making the most rapid and thorough progress, plans to increase the enrollment to 400 stu Dr. Robert Stewart, and Miss Anna McGruder. Music was furnished by the Boys' Industrial School band and was followed by a concert by Jackson's 23rd Regimental band. Wednesday afternoon a large crowd listened to the commencement address delivered by Attorney Bell of Leavonworth, who told the class that the opportunities for the young men and women of the Afro-American race are greater today than any other time previous. He also said that efficiency was the only requirement for securing positions in offices owned by leading men of both races. Addresses were also made by J. B. Lorimer, J. B Abrams, J. M. Wright. Principal George Bridgeforth urged members of the graduation Class to go outt in their lifes work, in a cooperative spirit and that nothing could be accomplished without cooperation. The graduation Class includes, Miss Thelma Johnson, Ross Owens, Norvel Owens, all of Ft. Scott, Kansas; Florist Turner, Topeka; Hattle Brister, Kansas Cit., Kansas; Lillian Daniels, Rawlings, Wyo; Anna Washington, Buxton, Ia.; Elnora Kornagey, Ida Mae Hatch, Des-Moines, Ia.; Chaucy Bartlett, Brookfield, Mo., Chas.

An Open Letter. Topeka, Kansas. May. 9, 1921. Mr. D M. Pinkston, Pres. Board of Education, and Mr. Carmack, Supt. of Schools, Kansas City, Mo. I am informed that the following conditions exist in your Schools: In speaking of peonage in Georgia and other southern states, we are compelled to compare the conditions of the city schools and teachers to the peonage system from the fact that the Colored teachers are afraid to demand of the Superintendent and school Board necessary improvements for the schools in which they teach, especially the principal. We do not blame the associate teachers so much as the principals of these schools. There are schools in Kansas City, Mo, that are not fit for cattle, let alone children of human beings. If the complaint is made about a school, it should be laid before the Board, and they send the Superintendent, Engineer or architect and he will ask the principal if any thing is needed, or will say we have some complaint of something being wrong or something connected with the building is out of order, or the surroundings not sanitary; in every case the principal will say every thing is all right and nothing much needed. We have proof and evidence of this fact and the principal states he hates to complain for fear of losing his job. It is reported this is the club held over the Colored teachers of Kansas City, whereby the school Board will use the money repairing white schools and keeping them in first class condition and allow the Colored schools to suffer. We are informed that the superintendent of the city schools of Kansas City, Mo. does not visit the Colored schools and that he speaks sneeringly and disparagingly concerning the pupils and schools and leaves the impression that it is nauseating and unhealthy for him to visit these schools. We think the school Board should get rid of him right away. Such a man, is not fit to superintend schools and not fit to associate with decent citizens, if this is true as we are told. We are also informed that they have an eminent barker as president of the school board and that he, too, does not give much time when members of the race appear before him with complaints concerning the outragious conditions of the schools buildings and supplies. We wish the United State would send Secret Service men to Kansas City and investigate the peonage that exists in the Colored schools of that City. The Colored High School is a shame and disgrace. What is needed is a new location and with three times the room, in fact the Colored people should have a junior High School to help out the congested conditions of the present building at 18th and Tracy. You're Truly. NICK CHILES Mr D M. Pinkston. Pres. Kansas City Mo Dear Sir: I am surprised to learn of these conditions existing in Kansas City and cannot see how a man, president of a bank and who has assumed a position of this kind in the educational department of Kansas City, can allow such conditions to exist. Is it possible you are cutting off the Colored people in order to save money for the white schools of Kansas City?

Pinketon, he gives the following statement: 'The deplorable situation which occurred in Tulsa the other day is a disgrace to the American people. They should hide their faces in shame and keep their missionaries at home and teach the great lesson of democracy to the people at home. I firmly believe that God Almighty is just and that you will reap what you sow. It was my privilege to give six of my sons in answer to the call to arms in the defense of this American government of which I am a loyal citizen that all the people might enjoy the sweet blessings and life and freedom, and when that great struggle was over they marched back here to their unwelcome homes only to meet the 'black-ra' and draft evaders' to be scrubbed and deprived of the privileges and considerations of human beings, which we are. I will confess that we have some good, fair-minded, loyal, Christian white people, but to me it looks like they are in the minority. K. K. Pirketon.
