THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Congress Drops Ku Klux Klan Inquiry --- --- THE TWENTY-THIRD YEAR Congr NEGROES RUN- NING FOR OFFICE (By William Pickens) The Associated Negro Press. We have noticed with much pleasure wherover we have gone in the year, 1921, that colored people are showing an unusual interest in politics and in running for political office. In several cases they have entered the contest for the office of governor, as in Arkansas and Virginia—and in several cases they have run for the United States Senate, as in Maryland and Virginia. In none of these cases have they won or could they win, at present. But the value of the "running itself, is what we want to call attention to It Is Good To Run It is self-respecting, especially when Democrats are still rejecting colored folk and Republicans are betraying them. The decent thing is to support a minority ticket, however small the minority. Then, white folk must be gotten used to seeing colored folk run for office—and then some day they will be so much surprised if some of those colored folk should arrive. If we see a fellow running after a thing for years and years, it will somewhat relieve us from too great a shock when he overtakes what he was running after. If colored folk consistently run for office, it will be expected that they may sometimes win the race. They first establish thoroughly the right to run; the right to win will then be move-casely-established. Then it will cause the whole colored population to read and think more on political questions, for the colored candidate must appeal to them and explain the issues and make his arguments to the colored people. This will educate colored people in matters political. One of the saddest things in Southern political life is the ignoring of the colored population by the candidates, when even the most vital issues are to be voted on. The colored man is in the way and may be driven out even if he dares to go to the speaking." We remember a few years ago when Eugene V. Debs was discussing the principles of the Socialism in Birmingham, Ala., that a colored man, intelligent and well-known, was refused admission to one of the seats in a large auditorium to hear the address. And yet they were to listen to a discussion of economic and social injustices. It is well for colored folk to run for office even if they do not arrive. It will create a new life within them. Anl it is so much better to vote for a man of your own race and lose, than to vote for some olly-tinged deceiver who banks on your regard for Abraham Lincoln, or for some "Southern gentleman" merely because he likes his "rigger Sam." PRINCIPAL G. R. BRIDGEFORTH SPEAKS TO CCNVENTION Principal Bridgeforth first made a repairt of the school and the progress of the work and displayed exhibits of various articles made in the blacksmithing and tailor shop, and the Domestic Art division, and urged the ministers of the convention not only to preach the scripture, that to advise and teach the people that we must begin producing something ourselves. He stated that the men in the audience were wearing shoes made in Boston; clothes made in Chicago; underwear made in Cincinnati socks in South Carolina and practically everything consumed by the Negro is being furnished yb other people. "The time has come in our educational progress for us t produce something for somebody else to consume. The consumer alone never gets very far." He further urged the teaching of strict economy in business as a part of our educational equipment for the colored boy or girl. THE PAPER OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE AND THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE—THE PLAINDEALER FORMER LIBERIAN MINISTER LEAVES $300.00 ESTATE St Louis, Mo. Oct. 14.—When J. Milton Turner, the first colored man to be appointed to the United States diplomatic service, died in November 1915, his relatives believed that his estate consisted of solely a -10,000 damage suit against a railroad company. However, subsequent investigation has disclosed that among other assets he owned leaseholds in Oklahoma oil lands, value of which was estimated by his lawyers for the estate at more than $300,000. The lawyers representing Turner's heirs, also announced that the estimate will be submitted to the Probate Court this week for final adjudication.

PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR FROM $20.00 PER WEEK TO $1000 PTR NIGHT This Is What Happened to Mamie Smith in the Short Space of Three Years. By Wm. E. Ready Some three years ago, Mamie Smith, jazz artist, appeared at the old Regent theatre an entire week for the munificent sum of $20, or $333 and a third cents per night. On last Tuesday, the sail Mamie Smith egan a three-day engagement at the newly enlarged theatre of the same name, and under the same management, at the slightly increased sum of $1000 per night. Mamie Smith is a shining example of the the "tide in the affairs of men which taken at the flood lead on to fortune." There were jazz singers making records long before Mamie Smith entered the field. There are jazz singers making records today, but there is only one Mamie Smith. But there was something that these singers lacked in interpretation, quill it "the human appeal," call it racial affinity; call it what you will—for our own part, we prefer to call it, "soul." Certainly it cannot be called superior voice equipment, for there are numbers of them whose voice was the equal, and in some cases, superior to hers, and what ever it was, Mimmie Smith had it, and knew she had it, and did not fear to use it, with the result that she is today America's undisputed "Queen of Jazz Music." But the famous jazz singer has not been spoiled by her meteoric rise to her present commanding position. When the writer sought her out after her first performance on Tuesday evening, he was welcomed into her small dressing room up among the "filies" of the Regent stage with the unaffected gratiousness that might have been expected only in the quiet confines of the reception room of her own home. Continuity to reports. Miss Smith, who in private life is Mrs. Ossey Wilson, is not a Baltimorean, but a native of St. Louis. When this claim was mentioned to the singer, she laughingly replied that "every city in the country had laid claim to being her birthplace." During the interview, a stalwart bronzed gentleman wearing kahki overall, came in and was introduced as Mr. Wilson, the Madam's husband and business manager; he also was introduced to another of the singer's constant companions, "Jazz Baby," a cunning tiny snow white toy poodle She admitted that her chief recreation is driving her $11,000 car. Recently in Norfolk, Va., she played in Billy Sundav's Tabernacle one night to 11,000. From Baltimore she goes to New York. After Christmas she and her "Jazz Hounds" will sail for Europe for an extended tour.-Afro-American, Baltimore.

CALL TO DEMOCRACY'S CAUSE. EQUAL RIGHTS ARMISTICE DAY MTETINGS FOR THE SOLDIER DEAD URQED FOR EVERY COMMUNITY—RACE ASKED TO ELECT DELEGATES NOV. 11th, FOR 2nd COLORED WORLD DEMOCRACY CONGRESS AT D. of C. DURING DISARMAMENT CONFERENCE. Fellow-American of Color: The 3rd Armistice Day Anniversary, Nov. 11, 1921, is destined to parallel the original Armistice Day of Nov. 11, 1915, and to be second to it in memorable significance. That first Armistice Day of a world war fought by the U. S. A. and Allied Nations on the promise of world democracy inaugurated steps for a World Peace Conference in Paris. This coming Armistice Day inaugurates another world peace conference, in form a World Disarmament Conference, at Washington, U. S. A. The President of the U. S. A. has asked the citizenry to publicly assemble on that day to agitate for peace and honor the soldier dead of the world war. He, himself, will hold service for the "Unknown Soldiers" of the world-democracy war. The NationalEqual Rights League of the U. S. A. appeals to Colored America to hold service for the soldier dead and for the cause for which they died, world democracy. The League asks that in every community on Armistice Day or Armistice Sunday if more feasible at Equal Rights Mass meetings arranged by our leagues, old ones or new ones, or by Equal Rights Committees, or some race organization or church, in honor of the soldier-dead, a movement be begun to elect and send delegates to a great national convention for the realization of the promise made to our soldiers, to be held during the World Disarmament Conference, at Washington, in December. Let the entire Colored American group have a delegated representative at the Congress at the seat on the World Peace Conference which this time has come to our shores, and there appeal to our own country to really lead the world for peace by wiping out the violation of peace at home and by proposing to the assembled nations the abolishment of the underlying cause of all war, racial prejudice, arrogance and autocracy in their homelands. The National Equal Rights League invites Colored America to its National Colored World Democracy Congress which will convene in the District of Columbia, December 14th to the 16th, 1921.

Harts, Salt Lake City, Uq't What would be the real reason for any real, good Baptist in even thinking of repuritating the vote of the messengers of the National Baptist Convention, which convened in Chicago, Sept. 7th and closing Sept. 12th, and which marked the greatest session in its history, and which will go down in history as a mark of unparalleled harmony and love? - Surely, righteous and peace met together. I am sure the strong hearted men believe in the teachings of the Baptist church. The majority rule—Will it be with the people? True, it seems, they are wrong, sometimes; but we are going to stand by the voice of the people. There never was a better opportunity in the history of the Great Old Church to spread its influence through the great Western Empire, than now, and truly it is such. The Baptist must possess this land. We are going to California in 1922—ten thousand strong, and on our banner "One Lord, One Faith, and One Bantam." We are going to take the West for Christ. I am sure you do not know the A. M. E. church it is established an' Episcopal district on the Pacific Coast, and have establishel a P. E. In Washington, Montana, Oregon, N. E. Idaho, Northern Colorado, Wyoming and Utah, Southern Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, Southern California and Northern California. They have an organization in this vast Empire and have for their slogan "The West for the A. M. E. Church." Shall we, a sbaptist, sit supinely by and let this field go, when our Lord left with us Orders to go in all the world, and make disciples for His Kingdom? I am sure such leaders as we have in the South, the East, and the North, are not going to let little things seperate them from Los Angeles, California, next September. Men like our leaders, have too great a vision of God's great program, that is to He put over. They will use every power they have to make the next year's convention the greatest in all of its history. Again, the other Convention is to meet in the city of Denver, Colorado, and you know what that means, I am sure you do and are going forth now with greater zeal to make this a great meeting in Los Angeles. You will remember the A M. E. Church has strong men in every state I have named as their general workers, and we have not a single man that is directly under our supervision. Let us awake, and go to work as never before in our lives. We are going to Los Angeles in 1922. We have spoken and we cannot take it back. Come with us and we will do you good. BLIND BOONE AT JOPLIN, MO. Joplin music lovers greeted the famous Blind Boone and his concert company with an overflowing seating capacity at both concerts on Saturday evening at our Trinity M. E. Church and on Monday at the First M. E. church for whites. Enthusiasm burst forth all thru the recitals with deafening applause, bringing the usual broad smile to Boones' pleasing countenance and buoying his vocalist. Mde. Marguerites Day to the sweetest notes she could find in her well filled musical store house. Boones' trip to Joplin this season is the first since his long engagement of one hundred and two weeks in the cities of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and other eastern points. In the absence of their efficient manager, Mr. John M. Day, Mrs Melisca Fuel Cuther, a former vocalist of the company, and an ex-teacher in the Joplin public schools, ably rendered her assistance to the company. She announced regrets of the manager's absence to personally tell how Boone took the East by storm and of the letters clamoring for his return. The concert is new from start to finish. Mde. Margnerite Boyd Day, has so completely cultivated her already rich voice until those who know her can sprecely believe. To miss hearing her this season is to miss a real treat of your life, a beautiful character and wonderful personality. Her monologues are distinct, her accent perfect and with Boones' rare accompaniments to her excellent voice, she arouses her audience first to tears and then to laughter. Mr. John M Day will continue to manage the work this season. He has worked hard to keep the company on the highest musical basis and give the people the newest and the best. He will join the company in Topeka, which was formerly the home of Mde. May, now secretary and Primma Donna of the Blind Boone Concert Company. Mr. Day has just closed this fall the contract of one of the largest tenant houses for Negroes in Kansas City. He is a contractor, builder and designer by trade and will follow up this work at the case of the Boone career. REV. B. R.

BEWARE OF BORROWING YOUR NEIGHBORS 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 wary summer squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assis tance, and falling to notice a barb ed wire fence, ran into it breaking it down, cutting 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 in to a basket of kittens, drowning the whole litter. In her hurry she drop ped and broke, past all hope of mend ing, a twenty-five dollar set of false teeth. The bahv, left alone, crawled through the spilled cream and into the parlor, ruining a twenty-five dollar carpet. During the excitement the oldest daughter ran away with the hired man, the dog broke up eleven setting heens and the calf got out and chewed the tails off of four fine shirts. All to save a measly dollar.

Does life seem dull and work a grind? Don't worry. Science has discovered a new vitalizer superior even to the much discussed "goat gland" and "monkey gland" treatment. The principal ingredient is an extract from the bark of an African tree. It is said to be the most amazing invigorator ever discovered. Combined with it are other tonic and vitalizing elements of proved merit. In most cases, the compound produces marked improvement in a day or two, and in a short time the vitality is revived, the circulation improved and the glow of health is felt in every part. The new vitalizer contains expensive chemicals, but manufacturing in enormous quantities has brought the cost within the reach of all. Furthermore, the laboratories producing this new vitalizer, which is called ReNu-Tabs, are so confident of its power that they offer it on the basis of "no results, no pay." Any reader of this paper may test the new discovery without risk. Send no money, but just your name and address, to the Re-Nu-Tab Laboratories, Dept. 144, Gateway station, Kansas City, Mo., and a full treatment of Re-Nu-Tabs will be mailed. Deposit $2.00 with the postman on delivery. If not delighted by the results at the end of a week, notify the laboratories and your money will be refunded in full. Do not hesitate about accepting this test offer, as it is fully guaranteed. JEFT'S LUNCII, 1900 Vine street, Kansas City, Missouri. That's it.

Dakota, tells her experience as follows: "I had catarrh for twenty years and thought I would have to leave the climate. I believe I had catarrh in every part of body. I would cough and vomit and could not eat—had to live on milk and could not lie down. My sister advised Pe-ru-na. I had not taken one bottle when the cough left me. My stomach was still affected and I was so weak I could not work. I had hot flashes day and night, fever, chills and took cold easily. Now I do things that formerly I would not dare to try. I am a farmer's wife, do all my own work, garden, milk cows, raise chickens and cook for a lot of men. Thanks to Pe-ru-na. I am fifty years old."
