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.

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.

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.

Your nerves are raw, digestion bad, head aches, back aches, blood impoverished, no strength, no ambition, household duties drag and little vexations look like mountains. Catarrhal stagnation has you in its grip and you will never feel any better until you get rid of it. PE-RU-NA For Catarrh and Catarrhal Conditions The best evidence of merit in any remedy is the testimony from those who have used it. Mrs. C. B. Templeman, of Dunselth, N. 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." Women everywhere, thousands of them, praise Pe-ru-na for the good it has done them. Send four cents postage for Dr. Hartman's book. The PE-RU-NA Co.
