DISTRICT AT FRED ROB An Efficient and C Established and Enviable Rec TWENTY-THIRD YEAR NUMBER 25 An Efficient and Capable Official who Established and maintained an Enviable Record in office. In the retirement of U. S. District Attorney, Fred Robertson from that office on July 1st, the government will lose one of its most capable and efficient officers. He will have served eight years, having been appointed under President Woodrow Wilson. He has formed a law firm of Robertson and Boddington, in the Wahlenmaier building, Kansas City, Kansas. This is one of the strongest firms in the West. Mr. Robertson is one of Kansas' most substantial citizens. He was born in New York City, July 2, 1871, was brought to Kansas by his parents in 1875. They were first located at Rawlins County, where they homesteaded 160 acres of land. Mr. Robertson is a wonderful man when you come to think that he never attended law school or col THE BROOKLYN PRESS M. HON. FRED ROBERTSON ledge. He was educated in the county schools of Kansas, having read law under Hon. J. P. Noble, Oberlin, and was admitted to the bar in 1895 and practice in the United States Courts in 1903. Most of his practice was in the northwest part of the state. He served as prosecuting attorney for two terms. Was also elected State Senator for the 39th district and overcame a whelming Republican majority, which had been established for years. No democrat has ever been known to break that majority until Mr. Robertson became candidate for the office, and he was the first democrat to be elected in that district. In Graham, one of the staunchest Republican counties of the thirteen in that district, he overcame the majority in that county and carried it by 127. He served in the Senate four years and was chairman of the educational committee and a member of the judiciary committee. He served continually from 1909 to 1912 and took the office of United States Attorney, July 1913. He has a wife and daughter. The daughter is now attending college at Belmont college, Nashville, Tenn. She is bright and cheerful and is the pride of the household. He had disposed of over 1500 cases in the United States court since in office, practically three times as many cases as a prosperous lawyer has in a life time. He spoke very highly of the judiciary ability of Judge Pollock, with whom he has been associated. time Encamp the To NUMBER 25 Gilpin, A ATTORNEY ABERTSON TO RETIRE capable Official who maintained an ord in office. for the past years. He further states, that the government has no judge in the service who is more upright, capable, fair and just than Judge Pollock. He is a big hearted man and always looks on both sides of a case and no one charged with a crime who goes before him can truthfulp say that they did not have a fair and impartial trial. In other words, he weighs both sides of a question and gives the criminal the benefit of the doubt. Mr. Robertson bears the reputation of being fair and just in the disposition of the cases which have come before him and has never as yet brought a case before the grand jury or before the court until he had thoroughly examined it. He does not think it is the duty of The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text. It appears to be a grayscale image with a blurry or pixelated appearance. the prosecuting attorney to see how many cases he can convict, but rather to see how many innocent men are charged with crime and dismiss them. He did not give indictments for every one whose case was brought before him. He took his office at a sacrifice and held it for the reason that the war was on and he thought it was his duty as an American citizen to be loyal to the government, doing everything necessary to make the war a success. Since it was announced that he was to retire, he has been retained in a number of big suits and has secured something like afters thousand dollars as retainer fees. There are numerous corporations eager to secure his services. He is a man who has worked his way to the top by hard knocks and being faithful, honest and upright, he has won the admiration, respect and confidence of the people with whom he has come in contact. Thus when he goes out of this office in July, he will not be known as a man who has only been known in his immediate community, or the state, but his reputation has become national in its scope and reaches far out beyond the confines of his home, and the Department of Justice at Washington will recognize him as a man of rare ability, and his associates as a man and friend.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 24.1291 CHARLES GILPIN, ACTOR WINS SPINGARN MEDAL The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York City, today announced that the Spingarn medal actor, who created the role of Custis had been awarded to Chas. Gifpin, the in John Drinkwater's play, "Abraham Lincoln," and the title role in Eugone O'Neil's play, "The Emperor Jones." The Spingarn modal is awarded annually "to the man or woman of African descent and of American citizenship, who shall have made the highest achievement during the proceeding year in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor." He is the seventh recipient of the Spingarn Medal, his predecessors representing many fields of activity. The first to receive the medal was E. E. Just, to whom it was awarded in 1915 for researches in biology. The second Spingarn medallist was Colonel Young, to whom it was awarded for his services in organizing the constabulary of Liberia. The third was Harry T. Burleigh, composer, for his excellence in the field of creative music. William Stanley, Braithwaite, critic and essayist, was awarded the medal in 1918, and Agchibald H. Grimke, in 1919. The 1920 award went to Dr. DuBois, for organizing the Pan-African Congress. MERIT WINS In a land contest case before the U. S. Commissioner, Mr. D. F. McDonald, Saturday, June 11, Mrs. Edna Green Smith served in the capacity of stenographic Court reporter. When it is known that such work because of its difficulty cannot be accomplished by many who stand high as stenographers, and upon the accuracy of taking such testimony depends very important decisions, and that even the attorneys agree in the stipulation to accept the court's decision which it ascertained only from these transcripts, then we may have some meagre idea of the importance of such work. The document contained more than 50 legal-pages when typewritten, and the consideration is well worth the efforts. Mrs. Smith was for more than five years with the Topeka Plaindealer, of Topeka, Kansas, and for sometime has been with the Henry Transfer company and the Sohthwest Review. She is a hard student in her line and is ever studying to become more proficient and to prove that merit wins. —Rising Sun, Pueblo Colo WICHITA DISTRICT SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION Grant Memorial church, Wichita, Kansas.

PRINCIPAL BRIDGEFORTH VISITS STATE PRISON On Friday, June 17th, Principal G. R. Bridgeforth visited the Kansas State Prison at Lansing He found the following facts: the male inmates consisted of the following 591 whites; 29 Mexicans 6 Indians and 204 colored. With a population of less than 5 per cent, we have contributed 24 per cent of the male population of the State Penitentiary. The department for women consisted of: 91 of the white race, 34 colored and 1 Mexican, a total of 126. This shows that we have a percentage of 26 per cent with a population of less than 5 per cent. This is, a condition of society that should be studied and remedied by the race as far as possible. The churches, clubs and orders of every character should work to reduce these conditions in the near future. Principal Bridgeforth also attended the sessions of the Slate Sunday School convention at Leavenworth, where he delivered a very able address before that body. URBAN LEAGUE ADDS LEE AS MEMBERSHIP SECRETARY The National Urban League announces that Prof. J. R. E. Lee, the Principal of Lincoln High School, Kansas City, Mo, has become Membership Secretary, and is now located at the headquarters of the League, 127 East 23rd street, New York City. He is considered a valuable asset to the movement because of his many years of experience in executive work and his energy and thorough acquaintance with handling groups of people. He has been principal of Lincoln high school, since 1915, during which time the enrollment has increased from 315 to 750. Father George O. Walker, wife and three children, formerly of this city, but recently of Galveston, Texas, visited friends in the city last week. Father Walker was a former roctor of St Simon Episcopal church and declivered two very able sermons there Sunday morning and evening. READ THE PLAINDEALER FOR YOUR HOME NEWS. GUTHRIE, OKLA. GUTHRIE MINISTER RESENTS ATTACKS BY J. R MASON Editor Chiles:— Permit me sir, if you please, to resent one J. E. Mason's vicious and wicked attack on Colored ministers of Oklahoma and the country in general. I am just thru reading his article in the columns of your paper, whose address shows Muskogee as his abode. "Its little storm in a teakettle like" was all misspeint in and around Muskogee. I think Tulaa's excitement struck, this, little wild Billy of the back alleys of Muskogee with such effect he is still undergoing a kind of mental storm shook. Editor Chiles, that little unheard of, insignificant, blantant mouth Jackass insinuates the ministry. I judge the calibre and character of your paper by "the company it keeps." Baptist ministers have no apology to offer you or any one else for what may seem in their best judgment their course to pursue and duty to perform. Baptist preachers of Oklahoma do not have to be coerced and given instruction as to what might their attitude toward the Tulsa episode by our Plaindealer man or any of his informants I hope air, you can see your way clear to speak more commendably of the ministry and the part they play in human uplift. And you should not permit your associates any more illerty in your paper than you yourself would dare take. Those fools who think the Tulsa riot might have been averted by throwing in firebrands, ought to have gone there and led the fray. "The dog that stands way back and barks the loudest usually never bites," is my experience. This psuedo slush does not get the race anywhere. It takes men with brain and a cool head for counsel. No blantant mouth Jackass can help the cause any. Remember air, whenever we as a whole will learn to fear God and do right, these many wrongs long perpetrated upon us will cease. Baptist ministers acknowledge no overhead, but Christ. And I hope Mr. J. E. Mason will understand this and think twice before he brands all preachers as cowards. The language of this informant betrays his character as I am sure you can see. S. A. CLARK 1015 E. Grant Street Guthrie, Okla. PAOLA, KANSAS By Mrs. John E. Lowry Mrs. Norene Davis, G. W. C. of Sunflower Grand Court was in the city last Saturday as the guest of Naomi Court, O. O. C., No 19. She is on her annual tour of the jurisdiction. Mrs. Amanda Taylor and daughter, Alma of Chicago, are visiting in the city. While here they are the guests of Mrs. Albert Adams. Mr. and Mrs. Orel Williams of Kansas City spent the week end visiting their parents. Mrs. Walker Williams entertained at six o'clock dinner complimentary to Mrs. Amanda Taylor and daughter, Alms, of Chicago, Ill. The Second Baptist church is being raised and other improvements are contemplated. Rev. J. A. Rucker, pastor of the Baptist church preached in Ottawa, last Sunday. Mrs. Albert Williams of this city was called to Ft. Scott, Kansas, to be at the bedside of her mother who is seriously ill. A pleasant surprise on Rev, and Mrs Johnson was given last Wednesday evening by the members of St. James A, M, E, church. Many useful things were given them. PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR Editor's Note Book We rote from the Hot Springs Echo of May 7th, that the Rev. Dr. J. T. Hill, pastor of the Roanoke Baptist Church, has succeeded in raising $9000 in a rally which paid the entire indebtedness of the church at that place. Rev. Hill has proven himself to be superior in ability as well as a financier in building up and erecting churches. He is to be complimented on being surrounded by a strong board of officers, composed of ladies and men. We hope him continued success in his great work. He is accomplishing there, what he attempted to do in the city of Topeka, and he could have done so, had he had the membership to work with. We are in receipt of the Lincoln Institute Annual for the scholastic year, 1921. We are under many obligations to President Clement Richardson for the copy, which is one of the finest to reach this office. There is no white institution which can excel it. The cuts of the different classes and organizations are commandable and the students must feel proud. This is the first time we have had our attention called to a photograph of the entire school with such large numbers and each face is distinguishable. Much credit is due Prof. Richardson for the high standard he has placed this institution and we know when she has changed her name to Lincoln University, with a million dollars behind her, Prof. Richardson will sure enough show the people of Missouri what they are always calling for. The following is a cipping which contains the expressions of President Harding on the Tulsa Riot. We are proud of our President and he is in full accord and sympathy for the rights of the American citizens. Editor Oxford, Pa, June 6.—"Education is the solution of the race problem." President Harding said to Negro students at Lincoln Memorial University here today. "God grant that there shall never be another such spectacle in this country," he said, referring to the Tulsa race riots. The president stopped here for a short time on his way from Valley Forge, Pa, where he spent the weekend at the home of Senator Kpox. We wish to call the attention of the public to Merit Bread, put out by the Campbell Baking Company. Mr. Jordan, the manager of this great concern, is highly respected and is a high class gentleman, well versed in the baking business and has had charge of this bakery for a number of years. It was he who erected the College Hill Bakery and made it a success. It is now controlled by the Campbell Baking Company, who owns several branches over the country. Mr. Jordan deserves much credit for giving the people of Toneki such fine bread. He states that the people are eating his bread in great quantities. Telegrams sent to President Harding by the editor and president of the Kansas Defense Society concerning Tulsa riot from Baxter Springs, seems to have gotten action, as we note the Federal probe resulted immediately after. The editor is doing all he can to defend the race, but there are so many who are indebted to the Plaindealer who will not pay up that it makes it hard for us to do what we would. Mrs. E, R. Hatfield, of Salt Lake, Utah, has been called to the bedside of her sister, Mrs. Abe Ellis, who was operated on at Christ hoapital. They were formerly the Penman girls who resided on the northside. Mrs. Hatfield is stopping at the home of her sister at 614 E. 17th street.. Mrs. Frankie Crockett, of Bay Cliv, Mich., is visiting her sister in this city. Address all communications to The Nepaka Plainlander, 1123 Kannan Ave Stupak, Khanda, Manay sent by Express, Postal Office Order or Registered Letter of our rank; otherwise at the pisk of the sender. When the attention of The Plainlander is called to any misstatement or note in these columns, or to any more conspiring any man or thing persecution will cheerfully be made, designed communicators, except from our regular correspondents, will not be published. (Continued from Page One) We visited the Kansas State pententary last week and must say the institution is moving along nicely under the acting warden, R. II. Hudspeth, who has had wonderful experience with that institution. He is the man who has made the Derrillon system and Bureau of Records, a national affair and has also made for himself a national reputation, for that matter. The Sheriffs of Kansas held a convention in Leavenworth and gave their endorsement to him for warden of this great institution. Governor Allen has been asked to appoint him to succeed Warden Codding. Mr. Hudspeth settled with his parents on their arrival in Kansas, in Riley county. He has a high school education and also completed a commercial course, is a young man who has worked his way up, is honest and upright and has a score of friends. He states that the Colored officers under his supervision, are the fluent set of men anywhere and give splendid satisfaction. They are: Messra Wetherly, Bowers, Officer, Mason and Williams. The men of the institution all speak highly of Mr. Hudspeth and wish to see him land the coveted plum. Rev, J. R. Richardson, pastor of the Walnut Blvd, Baptist church, at Parallel and Walnut streets, Kansas City, Kansas, has just returned from Los Angeles and San Francisco, Cal, where he had a fine vacation. His congregation relieved him for an indefinite period and furnished him money to pay his expenses and told him to enjoy himself. He has been the pastor of this church for th past 20 years. The church was formerly the Mt Pleasant Baptist church and has a membership of over 500. While on the Pacific coast the Reverend had the unusual pleasure of taking an airplane flight and states that he enjoyed it very much. Some of his friends have jokingly said that it was as near heaven as he would ever get. Miss Ruth Walton has just returned to her home in Leavenworth, from Tulsa, where she has been teaching. It is heart rending to hear her tell the story of the riot, murder, thievery and outlawry which was perpetrated upon the Colored people by the white men of the town. This was her second term and she was well liked by all who knew and met her. She is the daughter of Mrs. E. H. Walton, of that city. Miss Ruth states the half will never be told of the outrages which the race suffered. While at Lansing we were the dinner guest of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Mason. We had a two dinner and they showed us the things about home which go to make life comfortable. Mrs Williams, the wife of one of the officers of the prison, was also a guest. The Knights and Daughters of Taylor held their annual sermon at St. John A. M. E. church on last Sunday afternoon. In the new auditorium This is the first fraternal organization to hold an annual sermon in this room. The sermon was delivered by the Rev. H. W. White, past Chief Grand Orator, who delivered a strong racial and fraternal sermon. Much credit is due Sir Ransom Taylor, the District Deputy, also master of ceremonies, for the success of this great service. The church was crowded to overflowing. The parade was formed at the lodge hall, 13th and Quincy, headed by Jackson's 23rd Rgt. Land, the drill team, and Sir Knights in regalia, who marched to the church and the program as planned was carried out to the letter. The Daughters also paid an endowmen of $16000 to the husband of the late Daughter Lanceo. The Knights and Daughters of Tabor is one of the most substantial orders in the country and going a great good for humanity. Mrs. W. S. Price, of Hennessey, Ohlo., came up and took the degrees of Daughter of Isis, also visited her daughters, Mrs. George H. Sims and Miss Idell Price. Miss Lillian Jenkins has just returned from Columbia, S. C., where she was instructor in music at the Baptist College. The people are very much carried away with her and insist that she must return for another term. To her surprise when she was ready to come home they provided her with a through ticket to Topeka, which speaks well of the people connected with the institution, of whom she speaks in the highest terms. Mrs Henrietta Harper, Grand Noble Governess of the Household of Ruth, Kansas jurisdiction, visited the three lodges of Topeka last Saturday. They gave her a royal reception at which time a large attendance was had and the members all turning out to the meeting dressed in white. After the lecture by the Grand Noble Governess a reception was tendered her and daffy refreshments served. The members of the entire jurisdiction express their regret that she is declining reelection on account of locating in the west. They will love her and hold her in high respect, her memory, for the work done here. When she assumed charge of the office, seeming everything was in chaos, the order hardly being able to pay endowments. They started at $50 00 and now they pav $100 00, they also have a burial fund. The households are proud of her and her work. A number of the lodges which she has recently visited presented her with valuable gifts. She left Topeka for Newton where she will visit her last subordinate lodge and she will then go to the annual meeting in Kansas City, Kansas on the third Wednesday in July. BOONEVILLE, MO.

G., Mrs. Henrietta Harper, made her annual visits to the Households. The meeting was presided over by Sister Rilla Woods, of 5047. The officers of the five Households, held their respective stations at the meeting, the sisters were all dressed in white and wore their badges, a picture in itself beautiful to behold. The D. G. M. N. G. and the D. G. W. R. were met at the door by the present M. N. G.'s and P. M. N. G.'s, who escorted them to the altar, were introduced and seated up with the M. N. G. Sister Louise Brown in a very pleasing manner delivered the address of Welcome. Sister Mayme Quick of 2114, responded in beautiful words, as none but she can do. The gavel was turned over to the D. G. M. N. G., and she proceeded in her own usual way. She thanked and complimented very strongly the members for the reception tendered her. She also said that this was one of the times she felt that "she was receiving some of her flowers while she lived." After making her address, she instructed and went thru with the work and was much pleased with the improvement made by the order. At the close of the meeting, the Household song was sung. At the guests table, sat the D. G. M. N. G. the D. G. R. N. G. the D. G. W. R. five M. N. G.'s and P. M. N. G.'s of the II. II. About 150 sisters were in attendance. At a late hour, ice cream was served plentifully. The D. G. M. N. G. departed declaring Households No. 267, 3669, 2116, 5047 and 5818, as ideal hostesses. GRAND MASTER MONROE LAYS CORNER STONE AT ATCHISON Grand Master H. I. Monroe spent last Sunday in Atchison, where he laid the cornerstone for the new Colored grade school, of which Prof. Gray, is the principal. The two Masonic lodges, Morning Star and Atchison, had charge of the ceremonies. There had been several threats offered through the ogle of the County Attorney who tried to prevent Prince Hall Grand lodge, A. F. and A. M. from laying the cornerstone under the pretense that the lodge of Compact Masons would create a disturbance and cause a riot. This was, all moonshine and visionary and we believe fostered and kept up through the influence of the office of the County Attorney. While the Compact Masons may have wanted to lay the cornerstone, I do not think they wanted to do any bodily harm or create a disturbance, because they were not permitted to lay the cornerstone. It is usually the cheap white man who seeks notoriously and causes trouble among Colored people which brings about such happenings as the Tulsa riot and other disturbances of the country. The Compact Masons have a small following in the state of Kansas, who I presume dwell upon the notion that they are the only legalized Masonic body in the world. While they may be that in words, they are not in numbers. If they would join in with Prince Hall Grand Lodge, which has over two thousand members in this state, pay an endowment of $16000, take care of the sick, and this is what the people are looking for; where they can get the most benefits for their money, as there are very few fraternal orders today, that are living up to their obligations as taken, we are sure much good could be accomplished, for all concerned. This Compact lodge reminds me of some old time Methodist, Baptist or Presbyterian, wrangling as to who is serving God, or living more like him, and at the same time pretending they are all going to the same place and fighting for the same cause. Yet they oppose each others religion, mode or method of practice and are causing consternation or a disturbance at all times. When it is narrowed down, it is simply respecting the rights of others, following in its footsteps, caring for humanity. Now, if the Compacts think they are right, and with their few followers, think they can go on in their small and humble way, we may, Amen. But there is no use trying to fool the people as to who has the correct rituals or the proper work. It all has for its purpose the same ideals, that is, love your neighbor as yourself. There were several hundred Masons and visitors present for the ceremony and several Knight Templars and Masons from out of the city, Leavenworth having a fine following. Past Grand Master, Dennis Jones was pretTiffill hece cemeYC oeyCW present and assisted in the ceremony. Prof J. P. King, was the orator and delivered a fine address on the progress of the race and along educational lines. A parade was formed at the lodge hall headed by the Leavenworth band and paraded the principal streets to the school building where the corner stone was laid with impressive ceremony. The Masons of Atchison deserve great credit in having secured the grand officers of Prince Hall Grand lodge to lay the cornerstone. This is a credit to the Colored as well as the white members of the race of that city. There were a number of whites present, as well as some members of the school board. STATE OF KANSAS to W. C.
