The Topeka Plaindealer The Supreme Encampment Is Under Full Sail For Aug. 14--20 THE COLORED PEOPLE OF TULSA DID THEIR BEST; THE U.S. GOVERNMENT CALLED ON FOR TENTS ETC., FOR THEIR AID Full Reparation Should Be Made of Race's Loss. Colored Men Could Not Resist Machine Guns and Aeroplane Plaindealer Appeals To President and Congress for Finance The riot at Tulsa on last week was one of the most revolting and outrageous crimes ever committed by civilized christian people, surpassing in its despairly deeds, the atrocities of the flandish Prussians in their wavenous assaults against the Belgians. Such troubles do not emulate in the brain and minds of local white people, who believe in all human beings, having a fair show, but in such incidents this class are in the minority. They are overwhelmed by the other class, which is always in the majority. This outrage was a pre-conceived idea of the lower class of whites whose origin was in the South since slavery, and farmed, into serv hatred by such demons as Tillman, Vardaman Dixon of the Clansman. The old and new regime of the Ku Klux Klan is to oppose all progressive and intelligent Colored citizens. Of the many destructive riots, they have always gone into the Colored sections of the cities and destroyed their personal property, homes and places of business, as well as commit murder. In this case, trivial in its very nature, simply because a silly white girl so rudely struck a colored boy in the face because he accidently stunned on her shoe and before he could offer an anology, she attempted the second blow, the boy caught her hand. A wild whiteman, a floor-walker, had her sweat out a complaint of assault and battery. He was placed in jail. A false rumour was sent out by the lawless element that a Negro had assaulted a white girl. The ignorant and unscholped at The ignorant and unschored always eager to jump at false conclusions, assumed that an assault had been committed, formed themselves into a mob and started out to do harm. The Colorel roope heard of this action and armed themselves and offered their services to the Sheriff, who should have accepted such service at this time. Deputy Sheriff Darney Clemver, a veteran and one of the bravest officers in the state of Oklahoma, and a Colored gentleman, requested the Colored men to go to their homes that they would see that the boy was protected. The white ruffians like the rabble who took the life of the Blessed Sasslour, clamored for the life of this innocent boy. Had the white officers did as Deputy Sheriff Cleaver did, there would have been no riot. Some white men attempted to take a gun away from a Colored man, which discharged and struck a whiteman some distance away. Thus was started the affray which which resulted in disastrously. At this stage the Colored men threw a line across the Frisco track to defend their families and property. Nobly did this line hold until the early hours of the next morning. Wednesday morning, long to be remembered, which established the fact that unity prevailed among those black men on the Frisco track, and at 3:00 a.m., the white men withdrew, went to the Armory which equipment of the National Guards, and breaking in, they secured machine guns, ammunition and other accounts belonging there, returned at 5:30 and turned these death dealing instruments upon those sections inhabited by Colored citizens where they rained bullets, which fell like hall stones upon the Colored people. The fact has been established that these guns together with smaller ones were marmed by various members of the Home Guard of Tulsa. Together with this they secured a number of aeroplanes, of the Curria type, which soared over the Colored district dealing out death by dropping destructive missiles on buildings, homes, destroying property and lives promiscuously. Realizing their handiwork, the Colored men rotted. The thieves and murderers seeing that the Colored people were at their mercy, took their arms and ammunitions and went about committing murder, plundered, pillaged and robbed homes, outraged women, taking their personal property, household goods and anything which they could carry away. Rugs and carpets were found in the homes of whites which had been taken from the homes of the Colored people. In the midst of this murderous pilgrimage of these white outlaws, the Mayor, Chief of Police, Fire Chief, and Sheriff, either from fear or cowardice, gave aid to the mob by their silence, as well as their absence. Had the Sheriff dispersed the mob at the offset, and the Mayor impelled his power in giving instructions to the police department, and the Fire department used the fire hose to disperse the mob. Tulsa today, would not bear the black stain upon its name. The facts in the case indicate that they were in favor of the affair and gave it theirment. Their very actions lend proof to that fact. Their service to the good and credit of the city have come to an end. Immediate dismissal of the subordinates and a recall of the Mayor. These things should be done for the good of the city and its citizens. No community wants, nor should tolerate a bunch of cowards to look after its welfare and the protection of its citizens. The officers of the National Guard should be court-martialled and disonorably discharged for permitting and tolerating the local members of that body to break open the armory and take out property belonging to that branch of the government. A call was sent out for the Home Guards, but they composed a part of the mad and violent mob, who were killing and pilfering. The disbanding of that organization and a prison sentence for the guilty ones is the only remedy suited to these culprits. It is the duty of Governor or Robertson to call a court of Inquiry. He was upon the scene of action and charged the whole affair to laxity and dereliction on the part of the officers of the law, both city and county. The loyal, law abiding white people should endorse the action of the Colored men in resenting the outraging attack of the hoofium element of that place. Colored people over the country have resolved on the protection of their homen families and property at any hazard. Since the East St Louis plot in which men, women and children of the Colored race were brutally murdered, women in pregnancy diseemowed and the heads of unborn children stamped in the ground by inhuman varmints of that place, have Colored citizens resolved to do as these men did, and after offering their services to the authorities, which was refused, they undertook other means of protecting their interests. Nothing less than a yellow dog or a coward would do less. Brave men will die in the attempt By giving protection to this Colored boy, a sacrifice was to be made. Colored men required that fact and made that sacrifice without a murmur. They believed that the principle of right was worth fighting and dying for. Thus we suffer. For centuries upon centuries men have died in deadly combat that a principle might be uphold and maintained. So in the case of those who bravely faced machine guns, not on foreign soil, but in the United States of America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. The land which advocated the spirit of universal democracy abroad, but forgets it at home. The insurance companies should on satisfactory proof, pay all just claims for which they have collected premiums and fees. No incendiary exemption clauses should be offered for nonpayment of claims if these cases. A white man's property is insured, subject to loss under any circumstances and all losses are paid. This should be demanded in the cases of the unfortunate in this city. In fact the City of Tulsa is liable for this loss and damage and would be held so if tested in the higher courts. An issue should be put to the voters of the city for the full amount of Damages to lives and property. This agreed upon by a Board appointed by the Governor of the state. If said proposition be voted down, suit should be entered at once in the U.S. Courts and put the TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. JUNE 10, 1921 TABORIAN NOTES KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. Chief Grand Mentor.

Looking forward for the conveyance of our C. G. M. and G. H. P. Dtr Marie Wilson was appointed by the deputy to meet them at the Depot. They arrived at Dtr. Kemp's resident at 5:45 P. M.

At 8 o'clock the Grand officers retired to the Kts. of Tabor Hall where on arriving they were greeted by a vast number of Kts. and Dtrs. among was some of our beast representatives of our race and profession. Deputy Downs announced the object of the meeting, after which he introduced the Chief Grand Mentor and Grand H Priestess, both were received by a standing vote. Chief Grand Mintor made some remarks touching the progress in general of the Tabors over the state.

H Downs. Dist. Grand deputy Dtr. Mary A Gray, Reporter matter to a full test We feel proud of the stand which has been taken by Governor Robertson in this matter. He has shown himself to be a man of nerve and honor. He acted quietly and wisely. We thank the Chamber of Commerce and the loyal hearted whites for their generosity and charity. They have pledged to assist the people. We implore the Colored people to go right ahead working and rebuilding until they completely cover the entire devastated area. Building better buildings and better homes. This destruction should wipe out all mortgages and indebtedness, unless the city pays the damages or the insurance companies pay on. This may have been the way Providence intended as a means of getting both races closer together. It is God's way and we bow to the inevitable. BICK CHILES Editor, Topeka Plaindealer. MUSKOGEE, OKLA. B. J. E. Mason The race riot at Tulsa was caused by the laxity of the law on the part of the general public at that place The authorities have ever allowed every crime known to criminal history to be carried on with impunity They did this with the full knowledge of the executive branch of the city and country. The entire place was an incubator of crime. A conglomerated mass of political and social fifth. The possession of money made the outside world give them social credence they could not have had otherwise. Every Negro who desired to be classed by the white man as a "good nigger" is hot footing it to the white newspapers and telling how the Negroes started the riot. 8. 8 Jones, the most over estimated preacher in the west, asked the officers to not allow the Negroes in Muskogee to congregate on the street. Sol was never smart. His long hobby consists in judging sentiment. His audacity appeals to the ignorant, gambling with prejudice, and his ability to be all things to all men, has caused the ignorant proletarian to hall him as smart or wise. Sol, however is fortunate in belonging to a denomination where premiums are given to ignorance. Well, we learned at least one thing out of the Tulsa riot. That is how to meet the enemy next time. The old ignorant preacher who threw his arms around a white scullion to save his life from the angry Negro mob, did wrong; this same beast shot and killed two Colored girls when he got with his bunch. The preacher knew his Master's voice—The Whiteman. The death of Mr Simington was a shock to this community. He was chief clerk for the Elliott store at Okmulgee. Only one church was left standing after the riot in Tulsa. This is enough unless we want to feed an army of loafing Negro preachers who serve the South in holding down the Negroes. The State Supreme Court has decided with the firm of Colored lawyers. Walker, Bruce and Adams. In the case against the Double Oil Co. Quite a victory. Such riots at Tulsa and elsewhere only vindicate the Garvey move...ent Time will prove the justice of this movement. Bishop Jones of the M. D church went on his knees begging the Louisiana legislature to be fair with the Negro. Jones should have had more sense than to do a thing like this. It only invites disrespect and lowers the dignity of the Bishopric. He should leave such truckling tricks to tomorrow and Smith. Throw the garbage can down Bishop Jones. I simply rise to state that the Negro must sooner or later leave this country. Mr. Berry Bruce has returned from Georgia with his bride. They will make this city their future home. The white insurance agents at Tulsa who live upon the ignorant Negro elided in killing some of the Negroes that collect from each day. Mrs L. J. Grimes was brought back from Texas very sick. Her many friends hope to see her recover soon. The Negro preachers at Tulsa begged the Negroes to give up their guns. The Home Guards took the guns, then the vanals burnt homes and killed the defenseless. Looks bad for the parsons. What is meant by a better understanding between the races? It is an element of Negroes want the whites to understand that they are satisfied with the present condition of the Negro Nothing more or less. Watch the Negro preacher who starts with his list to build another church in Tulsa Take care of the suffering and let that "slick gry" go to the cotton patch One Negro church in any town of 8 thousand is enough Forget the denomination fake. --- PITTSBURG KANSAS Mrs Lewis and Mr Hudson were visitors in Pittsburgh last week on a business mission Mrs Bertha Smith is visiting her father She is residing in Kansas City A number of people were in the city on Decoration Day decorating the graves of their loved ones.

The infant of Mr and Mrs. Clarence Weaver died Monday morning. C B Walker spent Sunday evening car riding with Mr Dullie Maples The Board of Education is planning some repair work for the school during the vacation Editor's Note—At the request of a number of our readers, we are publishing herewith a part of a newsletter by Bishop W T Vernon, who is now at his post in South Africa. This letter is from the Western Christian Recorder 'Other sheep I have which are not of this fold, them also I must bring and they shall hear my voice.' The old saying, "The darkest hour is just before dawn," was truly exemplified in our case a few days ago. Mrs Verron and I were sitting by the window looking across the ocean towards America. I had been under a physician for weeks and she was up for the first day from an attack of fever. Our thoughts alternately were on the church and friends at home and of the work no dear to our hearts here in South Africa. Winter was rapidly coming on and almost every mail brought appeals for help from misfortunes with needy families. It was mail day—the boat had come from England, (It comes once a week) and the postman was overdue. He is at the door Feverishly, anxiously we open the mail. The clouds disappear. There were cheering letters from some of my colleagues on the bench of Bishops, from brothren with whom I so recent ly, gladly labored in the ranks, from other personal friends and relatives at home. Among these was one from the Secretary of the Executive Committee of the Women's Home and Foreign Missionary Society stating that at the recent meeting of the committee held in Nashville, they had enthusiastically voted to support the work in South Africa and would build this memorial church in Gapetown. God bless the women! This act and any assistance sent here for the noble, self sacrificing preachers and their wives and children will constitute a monument to their efforts and bring forth everlasting gratitude of the beneficiaries and blessings to the donors through the years. In a place where so much is needed it is often difficult to determine what is needed most, but to my mind four things are absolutely essential and constitute the way forward for our church in South Africa. I have in a previous letter set forth the vital necessity of building this church in Capetown. We must consider the educational needs of this—Seventeenth Episcopal District. Further North in the Orange Free State, Transvaal and Natal where the native people abound and constitute practically all the church in South Africa, we have a splendid opportunity and an imperative duty before us it will interest the church in America to know what is being done for the native people by other denominations in South Africa.

JEFPS LUNCH, 1900 Vine Street Kansas City, Mo. A. CORRECTION An article appeared in the columns of this paper of June 3, 1921, signed Sarah Taylor. This article should not have appeared and was an oversight on our part. Mr. Ell Williams and his wife, Mrs. Jane Williams, are highly respected citizens and staunch members of Brown chapel, at 13th and Washington streets. A little personal difference between true christians should not find its way to the public. Brown Chapel's congregation is made up of first-class members, all honest working christian people, and for its members to write such stuff about this church and congregation does not look well in the true christian spirit. Mrs. Williams asks the apology of church, for the slight occurrence which happened in the church. This the congregation has accepted. Has the other party done as much? Who is offender. The pastor Rev. J. J. Watson, is a high-class Christian gentleman and treats the members of his congregation alike. The claim is that an assault was committed by Mrs. Taylor, the author of the article and not Mr. and Mrs. Williams. He never interfered. WATCH FOR BAUGHMAN'S ICE CREAM WAGONS. FIRST CLASS ICE CREAM. THE FEDERATION OF COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS HOLD THEIR 21ST ANNUAL SESSION IN TO PEKA, JUNE 1-2. This session was one of the best ever held in the history of the State Federation. On the opening day Hon. H. I. Monroe gave the welcome address on behalf of the city of Topeka, at which time he held his hearers spell bound as he told of the achievements of Race women and their anticipations for the future. Rev. T. A. Bowers, of the ministers of the city and his talk was brim full and running over with good truths and thought. He urged our Colored women to select efficient women and accept their leadership. Thursday morning a shadow of gloom was cast over the Federation on account of the great race plot in Tulsa, Okla, which brought tears to every eye, but after a strong prayer by the State President, Mrs. Chas. Childs, several others were sung after which each one seemed to gather more strength. The usual business was carried on in the customary way, the President asking that we have more glistery love one for another, and with faith in God, all things would be well. She also asked why we as a race of people are asked to raise better habits and build better homes, when after we have striven to rear strong boys and girls, in body and minds, they are mobbed or burned at the stake. She asked the white sisters to first try and make the world safe for democracy, where all men can live in peace and harmony. The city of Wichita again wor the Loving cup for reporting the most money for charity. Topeka was given the highest valuation in fancy work. Mrs. Chas. Childs, was re-elected as President and Mrs. A M. Booker, as Vice President. After thanking Topeka for her generosity and hospitality, the Federation closed to meet next year in Newton for three days. Mrs. A. L. McGill, Topeka. JEFF'S LUNCH, 1900 Vine Street, Kansas City, Mo.

In Loving Memory of my Aunt MRS. LAURA WILSON Who passed away May 19, 1921. Neath our eyes she faded slowly Growing day by day more frail. Bearing sweetly all her sufferings Without murmur, moan or wall. A loving wife, mother, sister and aunt. No other like her can we find For all of us she did her best. And now she is at sweet rest "I cannot say and I will not say That she is dead, but just away With a cherry smile and a wave of the hand She has wandered into an unknown land. Just away where no shadows fall In perfect peace. Awaiting all Longing perhaps in her love to say I am not dead, only just away. Though we know your dear sweet soul is basking in the sunshine of His glorified smile, on the Celestial throne. We will meet you on the banks of Jordan. My dear Uncle and Cjustins, my heart is with you during your bereavement. PUBLICATION NOTICE To EDWARD ALEXANDER, Defend.

After considering the Church and community, what relations ought the Church bear with the community, and what the Church ought to stand for in the community, the question will naturally arise, relative as to the inability of the Church to accomplish a strong certain line. I have always held that there are certain ministrains our group who are well equipped mentally, are Christians of the highest type, and men of good moral character as well. While it is not my intentions to foister upon the Church any unjust criticism, I do know from personal experience and observation, of thirty five years of Church life, that we had among us a large majority of men who are in charge of Churches, who ought to be doing something else. Some are men who are well read in books, and others has had the various degrees conferred upon them by different theological Seminaries, but there they stop. Some has had no many degrees conferred upon them that they do not stop to heed the call. Everywhere there are the demand for men and women who will give themselves with determination and unselfishness to the task of religious trainlag To be filled for leadership there must be capacity, character, knowledge, quickness to see and courage to do For leadership, training is essential. Large opportunities exist today for the training of those who will lead in Bible Study, Sunday School service In addition to almost unlimited calls for Christian effort In our land is the voice from beyond the sea where there will be required men and women in large numbers, na pastors, evan, pilots, teachers, physicians, nurses, workers of every type and qualification. With such an urgent demand upon us for the preparations for the saving of Human Souls, it appears that we are not deeply concerned as we should be. In the matter of religiosu training A number of Churches have their they are struggling to support; some the State in which they are located, and are doing fairly well. Unfortunately, two much politics are being played in our Churches, and Schools, Bishops and Presidents of conventions instead of working to raise the moral and religious standards of Churches, and Educational institutions, are lending their energy to the furthering of the interest of men and women who will do their bidding Consequently, men of obsolete theories, and worn out ideas are placed at the level of Schools in preference of young men who are keeping step with the new order of things hitotkneemeyoogeno CKO1 ZO The continued Subligation of young men and women in the Churches and Schools, are working a great disadvantage to our group, because they are not qualifying for the ministry, and trained Christian workers as fast as they should, if they were given the proper encouragement. Our best ministers are becoming aged and we are not turning out very many young mer to take their places. A great many of our group are too averse to religious training, in fact many of our leaders discourage any idea of training, contending that if God calls one to a certain work, he will qualify them Christ trained his disciples before he sent them upon their mission, and over person that is successful in their Christian lives must be trained. Likewise, if we do not know which way to go, how shall we lead others. The call for laborers in the Christian work is universal, and for all who will accept; with the call goes the bestowment upon the individual of an instinctive power, that will gild the mind into channels whereby preparations and qualifications for Christian leadership may be effected. God calls a man or woman here and there out from among thousands to do a certain work, and he will endow them with talent to carry on that work, but he has not promised to so endow everyone. He has admonished us to 'grow in grace, and in the Knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,' which means that even the minister must look after his own spiritual and educational development Which we see the importance every day of a religious training, it is hardly possible to discuss advanced ideas of Christianity, without being attacked by persons whom we consider to be of a higher intellectual than they sometimes demonstrate. There are a great many leaders who have got their heads "under a barrel," and they are working in a way also to "Keep the wool" over the eyes of their followers, but many are catching the spirit of the new day, and rising above the waves of the illusions of the past. We should not depend solely upon the Schools for Christian development every Church and every community should have a training class, but as I have said before, the shaping of the child must begin in the home. The purifying power of Christianity in the home is the greatest reason for being a Christian. It is a well established fact that no City, no State or Nation, can be purer than its homes, and no home can be absolutely pure and uplifting in its influence without Havig Christ as its center The child may be held by love and respect for its parents for a brief season but unless the parents instill into the minds and hearts and the very fibre of the child respect and love for God as manifested in Jeasus Christ, the child is in danger of slipping from truth and purity, and away into the World Wilson's Summer GARDEN OPEN FOR ENGAGEMENTS UNTIL OCTOBER 1st A cool, pleasant, well kept place, with comfortably bricked, teeter boards, picnic tables, gvings, good water and pavilion with piano and a new dance floor. —FOR RENT— OGEAL & ROY WILSON, Managers PHONE 1779 N 1 SANTAL CAPSULES MIDY CATARRH of the BLADDER relieved in 24 HOURS Each Cap is put under the MIDY name by Remove of counterfeit THE SINKFORDS POMAID, curre dan ruil strop hair from, fall on on You can get two months home tre ment by mail. $1 15.
