The Topeka Plaindealer The Plaindealer Will Insist that Race Hold Its Own and Receive More Under the Harding Administration. Topeka, Kansas. Sept. 6, 1921. TO HIS EXCELLENCY. Warren G. Harding, President White House, Washington, D. C. My dear President; Through our U. S. senator, Arthur Capper, of Kansas, we convey these requests, which we hope will meet your approval: First, since the days of the Immortal Lincoln, the colored Americans at all times and until now have received recognition at the White House by being appointed to some of the most important positions in the gift of the president, (and Republican presidents especially), namely, Minister to Haiti, Register of the Treasury, these in particular were always considered cornerstone positions of the colored people, and so recognized by the succeeding Republican occupants of the presidential chair until your inauguration. There have been forty-four years of Republican administration during which Republican presidents have presided over the destinies of this country who never hesitated to appoint colored men as we have stated from Register of the Treasury, Fourth Auditor of the Navy, Minister to Haiti, Counsel to Madagascar, and other positions too numerous to mention, at a time when colored people were never so capable as they are now from an educational, financial and moral stand point, as well as loyalty to the government, in the Spanish-American war and the late World War. Out of the forty-four years of Republican rule, some colored man has held the position of Register of the Treasury, thirty years of that time. So we lay claim to the office by conquest of time and a tacit understanding, that it was a job to be parceled out to the colored race. Therefore, no white Republican should lay claim to this one important office, but should add a larger list to the qualified and deserving men and women of the Race. While we do not believe in drawing the "color line" in positions, yet we are compelled to meet it from the opposite race and most all white christian organizations approve it and yet our Party subscribes to it. Now, our dear President, knowing you to be a high-class, christian gentleman and wanting to treat the colored race squarely as citizens, and you know that they are loyal to the Party which elected you, that you will not sacrifice your Christian duty to please a few followers of Herod, the King of Old, to impede the progress of a loyal race. We should have that office and the entire efforts of the Race have been put forth to land it. We have the solution to offer which will please the masses of the true followers of Christ, and that is by appointing a high-class, progressive, Christian colored man, who emulates and travels in His footsteps. This man is Mr. Aaron E. Malone, of St Louis, Missouri, who with his good wife, employ between two and three hundred men and women in their manufacturing concern, who have more than a thousand agents, whose building costs nearly a half million dollars to build and equip at the same time the war was at its greatest stage, when material and labor were outrageously high. Yet he finished and equipped this wonderful structure which is a monument to the citizens of St. Louis and the country at large. Each morning before the day's operation starts, prayer and song service is held for the entire working force. They have, and I speak of him and his wife, donated thousands of dollars to the Y, W, and Y. M. C. A., churches, orphan homes, and during the war hundreds of dollars went into the Red Cross and other war organizations to help defeat Germany. He is a gentleman whom we believe you would consider an honor to appoint. The colored Race want a man of our race to hold a position of this kind who is doing something and bringing things to pass. Investigate this young disciple of prosperity, if you will, and find whether or not he does not measure up and surpass a large number of your amputees, regardless of race, breed color or condition. His life is as pure as the Sun's rays. No Senator, no Congressman, no citizen would object to such a man holding this position. How can any color line enter into such an appointment as this? The better classes of all races will join in singing your praises for this Christian act. It was the Savior who stopped on the wayaide and picked up the blind and forsaken man when the multitude protested. This country has always needed a man in the White House who would emulate Him by doing such unheard of and kind acts. We believe you are the Christian man endowed with all of these elements. A false rumor has it that no colored man need apply because a few enemies like Herod of Old, objected. This same class objected to colored men being called to arms in all the wars this country has been engaged in. Can our President do less? Hoping you continued success, I remain. Editor, Topeka Plaindealer. President, Kansas Defense Society. UNITED STATES SENATE Washington, D. C. September 27, 1921. NICK CHILES, Tepeka, Kansas. Dear Nick;—I called at the White House yesterday and personally presented your letter in regard to a col- ored man for the Register of the Treasury. The President was very busy and I could only have a few minutes. I am sure President Hard- ing wants to do the right thing in this matter and will do it if possible. He asked me to file your letter with his secretary, Mr. Christian, and Mr. Christian has informed me that he will do his best to have it promptly considered by the President. I will have another opportunity to see him next week or the following week and will again press the matter. With best wishes, I am Very respectfully, ARTHUR CAPPER. UNITED STATES SENATE September 29, 1921 Nick Chiles, Topeka, Kansas. My dear Nick: I called on Secretary Mellon to present to him personally your letter urging the appointment of a colored man to the position of Register of the Treasury. I waited quite a while for him but he was at the White House in conference with the President and I was obliged to return to the Capitol. I stated the question as strongly as I could to his Secretary and then I sent him your letter with your note endorsing your position. I enclose you his reply. I am expecting to see Secretary Mellon next week and will take it up with him again. Very respectfully ARTHUR CAPPER September 27, 1921 My dear Senator: I received your letter of September 23, with enclosures from Nick Chiles, editor of the Topeka Plaindealer, suggesting the appointment of a colored man to the position of Register of the Treasury or to some other office under the Treasury. I shall be very glad to bear in mind your endorsement of Mr. Chiles suggestion in the filling of vacancies which may arise in the Treasury department. At present there is no vacancy in the office of Register of the Treasury and I am, therefore, unable to give consideration to the suggestion at this time so far as that office is concerned. I am having your letter and the enclosures from Mr. Chiles placed on file and it will be a pleasure for me to give the matter consideration if opportunity offers Sound to the bottom your motives. Take all the selfishness out of it, for this is only the chaff in the whirl. When this is done the golden grains are left. Every dollar spent for missions has added hundreds to the commerce of the world. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 30, 1921 DEPUTY MARSHALL LYTLE RETURNS WITH SCOTT Deputy Marshall Chas, Lytle returned from Chicago where he went in search of Cecil Scott, who was employed by the Guaranty State bank of this city, as janitor. After his discharge from the bank, he was showing the new man his duties in and about the bank and as the opportunity presented itself to him he removed a package of bills said to contain $5000 and passed out. For sometime he kept the money hid. No one suspected of even suspicion him, but he could not stand the pressure, so he started his downfall by purchasing a second handed auto for the sum of $700, got on a "spree" and started out to buy the town. After the money started circulating so freely the officers were led to believe him guilty of the theft. The bank officials were quiet on the matter until they heard of their exjanitor spending so much money, in the meantime, however, Scott left with his machine in the direction of Hutchinson. The bank had Marshall Lytle put on the case, owing to his reputation as being one of the shrewdest sleuths in this section. He steered Scott to Chicago and there he had the time of his life trying to arrest his man. The police of the city of Chicago refused to lend him any assistance whatever, simply because he carried no warrant. The officials of Shawnee County did not send the warrant to him. It being stated by his friends in the city that jealousy was the cause of them not sending said warrant. So he called to his assistance, Deputy Sheriff John Armstrong, a former Kansau, who came to his rescue and for three days he trailed him about the city at times an hour or so behind him, until finally he caught him hiding in a dark basement. Scott could have made good his escape had he had the forethought and presence of mind. The colored race can feel justly proud of Marshall Lytle as he outranks all officers in Kansas as an efficient officer of the law. His work stands out in front. When the people want results from the officers of the law, Marshall Lytle is always called upon to deliver the goods and he always delivers. Mr. Lytle's father, W. M. Lytle was an officer and policeman for years and bore a splendid reputation. For a number of years Marshall Lytle has held the position of Deputy Marshall and seemingly no one can succeed him. Mrs. Lytle is a graduate of Topeka high school, the State Normal at Emporia and was for a number of years one of the most popular teachers of this city. She is a fine cultured, christian woman, well versed in business and an ideal mother to their five children. They are members of the C. M. E. church and are active in all matters pertaining to the race 24th INFANTRY MEMBERS WANT ACCOUNT OF FUNDS P. O. Box 7. Leavenworth, Kansas. Sept. 21, 1921 Editor, Indianapolis Recorder:— We, the former members of the 24th United States Infantry that were tried and convicted by a so-called General Court-martial for alleged participation in the riot which occurred at Houston, Texas, August the 23rd, 1917, do hereby appeal to our many friends that have given and turned over sums of money for our defense to Mr. Bell, attorney at Leavenworth, Kansas, whom we understand is still making collections from our sympathizing friends and has not as yet up-to-date so far informed us as to the results of his efforts. We understand through newspaper reports that our case was to be called before the Court of Appeals in Denver, Colo., in September, 1921. Up to this date we have not as yet heard anything in regards to the case through Mr. Bell. We consider it no more than proper to inform our sympathizing friends what Mr. Bell is doing. And we have waited patiently nearly four years for Mr. Bell to secure results We think it no more than proper for our friends to investigate Mr. Bell. Hoping you will use your powerful influence in our behalf, we remain, Yours respectfully, GERALD DIXON, Former member of the 24th Infantry, U. S. R. A. Most Representative Group of Race Ask Clemency for Imprisoned Members of 24th Infantry. WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.—A delegation of thirty leading colored men and women, headed by James Weldon Johnson, of New York, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in Washington bearing a petition signed by 50,000 names to President Harding asking him to pardon 61 members of the 24th U. S Infantry (colored) now serving longtime sentences in Leavenworth Prison, convicted of rioting at Houston, Texas, in August 1917. President Harding has granted the delegation an audience on Wednesday morning, Sept. 28, nt 10:30. Upon his arrival in Washington, Mr. Johnson issued the following statement: "Although nineteen colored soldiers were harried and 61 sentenced to life and longtime imprisonment after the Houston riot of August, 1917 colored people in the United States felt little disposed to appeal for pardon and clemency for they realized such an appeal would be fruitless. "Now, however, under a changed administration, fifty thousand signatures have been appended to such a petition circulated by the N. A. A. C. P., and colored American are looking to President Harding to redress what they feel and have felt to be undue severity exercised against a regiment with such a record of soldierly bearing, courage and devotion as the 21st U. S. Infantry. "The personnel of this delegation is sufficient guaranty of the widespread and general desire for a parison among colored people throughout the country." In the delegation with Mr. Johnson, are major Motor, principal of Tuskegee Institute; R. S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender; Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War during the World War; Professors George W. Cook and Kelly Miller of Howard University; Archibald H Grimke, president of the Washington Branch, N. A. A. C. P.; Robert R. Church, colored Republican leader in Tennessee; Dr. Charles E. Bently, of Chicago; Mrs Nannie B. Burroughs, Mrs Mary B. Talbert, former president of the National Association of Colored Women's clubs; Mrs Mary Church Terrell, Mrs Alice Dunbar Nelson, Harry H. Pace, John Hope, Hon. J. C. Asbury, member Pennsylvania legislature, Harry E. Davis, member of the Ohio legislature; Drs Wm. H. Washington, and W. W. Wolfe of Newark, Rev. R. H. Singleton of Atlanta, James A Cobb, counsel for the N. A. A. C. P.; John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. church. ADDRESS OF MR. JOHNSON As secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and spokesman for this delegation composed of persons and representatives of bodies, a deeply concerned for America's good name, I have the honor to present a petition signed by fifty thousand American citizens, white and black, praying that you exercise executive clemency and pardon the 61 members of the 24th U. S. Infantry now in the Federal prison, at Leavenworth, Kansas, convicted on charges of rioting at Houston, Texas, in August, 1917. We are a delegation representing the fifty thousand signers of this petition which we have the honor to lay before you, and we come not only as a representative of those who signed the petition, but we are spokesman of the sentiments of the ten millions or more of Negro citizens of the United States The petition, you will note, asks for your pardon on three grounds: first, the previous record for discipline, service and soldiery conduct of the 24th Infantry; second, the provocation of local animosity which manifested itself in insults, threats and acts of violence against colored soldiers; third, the heavy punishment meted out to the members of the 24th Infantry of whom nineteen were hanged, thirteen of them summarily and without right of anpeat to the secretary of War or to the President, their Commander in Chief.

Local Pastors and Members Royally Entertain Conference--Reports show Work of Allen Moving Forward. Bishop Parks Delivers Able Sermon The Kansas Annual Conference of the A. M. E. church held a five days session at St. John A. M. E. church, this city on the 14th to the 18th of September. Although the old original conference was divided in 1920, one half being named the Nebraska Conference, which held its session in Lincoln, Nebraska, last week, there was little difference noticed in the attendance. A large number of ministers and laymen of the other sister conferences were in attendance, which swelled the numbers greatly. Bishop H. Blanton Parks, the presiding bishop, delivered a strong, masterly sermon on Sunday morning at which time the new auditorium of St. John was packed to its capacity and hundreds were refused admittance to the building Rev. H. W, King and his officers, both men and women are deserving of much credit, as is Rev. J. J. Watson, pastor of Brown Chapel, and Rev. A. A Allen, pastor of St. Mark Chapel, N. Topeka, and their respective members, who entertained the conference. These three churches have able ministers as their leaders. The Reception given the Conference on Wednesday evening was a departure from the old custom in the Kansas conference Welcome addresses on behalf of the city were made by Hon. Tom McNeal, which was to the point and coming from a true heart, as it did, certainly won a warm spot for him in the hearts of the men and women who composed the audience. He is one of the white men of this country who believes in giving all people an equal opportunity. The address on behalf of the ministers and churches of Topeks, by the Rev. N. J. Johnson, pastor of the Mt. Olive M. D. church, was one of the finest ever heard in this city. He is really in a class by himself. He painted word pictures so vividly that one could almost imagine them in actual view. The race and the citizens are blessed by having him in their midst. The Rev. J. R Ransom, the Demosthenes of the Church, responded, as only he can do, knowing the history and progress of his race and country, he did not fall to tell it. Mr. John D. Darker, welcomed the conference on behalf of the church and as a speaker, he is full of logic and food for thought. He made all feel at home and welcome. Our good ladies served ice cream and cake in the annex of the church to over four hundred people and every one had plenty and some was left. The next session of the conference will be held at Lawrence, Kansas. A number of visitors were present from over the state of Oklahoma, Missouri, Nebraska and Colorado. President F. Jesse Peck, of Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, delivered the Educational address on Thursday evening. He gave a detailed account of the wonderful progress made within the last year. For the first time in its history, the school is recognized by all schools by being placed on the accredited list, so the students will have no difficulty heresafter to enter other schools without being retarded. Prof. Chas Stewart, the press reporter was on hand and reported the daily sessions of the conference. The appointments are as follow: Topeka District; St John, Topeka, H.

VAUGHAN The people of Kansas and the West are proud of the Rev. Edw. R. Vaughan, Dean of the Theological department at Western University. He has sent more young men out in the world to preach the gospel than any other one colored educator in that profession in this country. He is a tireless worker and educated, upright, clean, Christian gentleman. A clean-cut minister who really tries to follow in the footsteps of the Saviour. He has been in the ministry for years and whatever was assigned to him he accepted without a murmur, always trusting in his Maker to bring all things to a proper standing. Dean Vaughan masters both Greek and Hebrew, and when there is a vacancy in the pulpits of our churches within a short distance of Kansas City, he is always called upon to supply them until conference and wherever he has supplied a charge, the congregation always wants him to accept the pastorate. This he could not accept, in view of the great work he is doing at Quindarn. In all of the supply stations he has raised all conference besides all other church claims. Dean Vaughan and Mrs. Vaughan, attended the conference and their many friends were glad to see them. REV. J. C. C. OWENS All of Kansas and Topeka were proud to see the veteran of the cross and one of the pioneer leaders of the A. M. E. church in the West, in the person of the Rev. J. C. G. Owens and wife, presiding elder of the Parsons district, all hale and hearty and still working in the harness. He was the only Presiding Elder who was returned to his field of labor. His friends are legion. He does nothing but square work and is a clean, upright, christian gentleman, whom everybody loves to meet. He is a great race man and one of the men who blazed the way from the Mississippi river to the Rocky Mountains for the A. M. E. cause. He also is a veteran of the Civil war and fought for the freedom of this country and race. REV. R. C. HENDERSON For the past few years, the Rev. R. C. Henderson has served as Secretary of the conference. He is one of the leading young men of the ministry in the West and is setting the pace for the other young men to follow. He is just completing a $5,000 parsonage for his church at Hutchinson. His success both financially and spiritually has been wonderful and there are several standing requests from other churches for his services. REV. J. F. GRIFFIN One of the prominent conference visitors was the Rev. J. F. Griffin, pastor of the First A. M. E. church, Kansas City, Kansas. His church has the largest congregation in the West, having a membership of over 1200 members. He raised over 14 thousand dollars last year, with the church all out of debt, a handsome brick parsonage, and just recently installed a new $5,000 pipe organ. The Reverend came to Kansas from Alabama five years ago, a mere stranger. He has "cleaned the platter" so to speak and added over four hundred members to the church roll. At the division of the Kansas conference, he was assigned to the Nebraska conference and now awaits more fertile fields to conquer. He is a hard worker, never tiring of his work, a fine pulpiter, a high class christian man and community worker, as well as being a natural born organizer. THE KANSAS DEFENSE SOCIETY The Kansas Defense Society employed three lawyers to institute Habeas Corpus proceedings to release these unfortunate men, of which T. W. Bell, of Leavenworth, Kansas, played the prominent part, went over the country and solicited several hundred dollars and said he would push the case to a finish with good results. He has not accomplished anything, nor perfected the proper appeal. If he fails to keep his word and these men are released without any effort on his part, after collecting all this money, he will forever bring condemnation upon his head. —Editor. ```markdown ``` THE NEW ST JOHN A, M.

BEWARE OF BORROWING YOUR NEIGHBOR'S NEWSPAPER A woman who was too economical to subscribe for her home paper sent her little son to borrow a copy from the neighbor. In his haste the boy ran over a four dollar stand of bees, and in ten minutes looked like a warty summer squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance, and falling to notice a barbed wire fence, ran into it breaking it down, putting a handful of flesh from his anatomy and ruining a five-dollar pair of pants. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the cornfield and killed herself eating corn. Hearing the racket, the mother ran, upsetting a four gallon churn of rich cream into a basket of kittens, drowning the whole litter. In her hurry she dropped and broke, past all hope of mending, a twenty-five dollar set of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilled cream and into the parlor, ruining a twenty-five dollar carpet. During the excitement the eldest daughter ran away with the hired man, the dog broke up eleven setting hems and the calf got out and chewed the tails off of four fine shirts. All to save a measly dollar.

President Continued from Page Ono) clandestine execution shocked the entire country and appeared to the colored people to savor of vengeance rather than justice. Sixty-one members of the 24th Infantry are still serving life and longtime sentences I wish to say a word about the provocation which occasioned the riot of August 1917, in Houston, Texas, as the consequence of which this punishment was meted out. Contrary to all precedent, the provost guard of this colored regiment had been disarmed in a state and city where insult was the colored United States soldier's daily experience. Following a long series of humiliating and harassing incidents one soldier was brutally beaten and a well beloved non commissioned officer of the regiment fired upon because they had intervened in the mis treatment of a colored woman by local policemen. The report spread among the regiment that their non commissioned officer, Corporal Balti more, had been killed. Whatever acts may have been committed by these men were not the result of any premeditated design. The men were goaded to sudden and frenzied action. This is borne out by the long record of orderly and soldiery conduct on the part of this regiment throughout its whole history up to that time. Moreover, although white citizens of Houston were involved in these riots and the regiment to which these men belonged was officered entirely by white men, none but Negroes so far as we have been able to learn, have ever been prosecuted or punished. In consequence, the wholesale punishment meted out to these colored soldiers of their country bore the aspect of a visitation upon their color rather than upon their crime. The attention of colored people throughout the United States will be focussed upon the action which it may please you to take In consideration therefore of the almost five years already served in prison by the 61 men and of the foregoing facts., and because of the long record for bravery discipline and soldierly conduct of this particular regiment, and in the name of the steadfast loyalty of the American Negro in every crisis of the nation, we besake your attention to the petition which we beg herewith to present to you.

THE amount of sickness and suffering in the world is not surprising when we remember that ninety-seven persons out of every hundred have catarrh in some form, and that most of the diseases of the human family may be described as a catarrhal condition. PE-RU-NA Endorsed by Your Parents and Grandparents. THE same inflammation and irritation of the mucous membranes to be found in the nose and throat in connection with nasal catarrh may also be located in any other organ of the body. To allay this inflammation, the polsons must be removed and proper nutrition carried to the diseased mucous membranes. The Influence of PE-RU-NA upon the organs of digestion and and elimination helps to purify and enrich the blood. The elements of nourishment and health are carried to every organ and extremity. While the results following the intelligent use of PE-RU-NA sometimes seem little short of marvelous it is not claimed that the remedy is a "cure-all." PE-RU-NA possesses tonic properties which with its other qualities make of it a most powerful agent in soothing ragged nerves, in bringing every vital organ into normal action and restoring the natural strength and vigor of the body. TWO generations have known PE-RU-NA for what it is, an effective emergency remedy, a powerful health building force.
