THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Welcome Sunflower Agricultural Association President Harding tells South to Lay Aside Old Prejudices and Antagonisms----Get Together Wants "Leaders who will inspire the race with proper ideals of race and national pride and honorable destiny." ```markdown ``` Birmingham. Ala. Oct. 28—The right of the American Negro to broader political, economic and educational advantages based on a pride of race but never on an aspiration for social equality, was championed by President Harding here today in a plainly worded enunciation of his views on the whole American race problem. These are some of the principles on which the president appealed to the nation to "lay aside old prejudices and old antagonisms," and give support to a constructive policy of racial relationship. He said in part: "Politically and economically there need be no occasion for great and permanent differentiation, provided on both sides there shall be recognition of the absolute divergence on things social and racial. "I would say let the black man vote when he is fit to vote; prohibit the white man voting when he is unfit to vote. "I wish that both the tradition of a solidly Democratic south and the tradition of a solidly Republican black race might be broken up. "I would insist upon equal educational opportunities for both. Men of both races may stand uncompromisingly against every suggestion of social equality. This is not a question of social equality, but a question of recognizing a fundamental, eternal, freescapably difference. "Racial amalgamation thers cannot be. Partnership of the races in developing the highest aims of all humanity there must be if humanity is to achieve the ends which were set for it. The black man should seek to be, and he should be encouraged to be, the best possible black man and not the best possible imitation of a white man." Must Be Equality "Here it seems to me in suggestion of the true way out. Politically and economically there need no occasion for great and permanent differentiation for Limitations of the individuals opportunity, provided that on both sides there shall be recognition of the absolute divergence in the physical and material." "When I suggest the possibility of economic quality between the races, I mean it in precisely the same way and to the same extent that I would mean it if I spoke of equality of economic opportunity as between members of the same race. In each case I would mean equality proportioned in the honest capacities and deserts of the individual." "Men of both races may well stand uncompromisingly against every suggestion of social equality. Indeed it would be helpful to have that word 'equality' eliminated from the consideration, to have it accepted on both sides that it is not a question of social equality but a question of recognizing a fundamental, eternal and inescapable difference. We shall have made real progress when we develop an attitude in the public and community thought of both races which recognizes this difference. Take the political aspect. I would say let the black man vote when he is fit to vote, prohibit the white man voting when he is unfit to vote. Especially would I appeal to the self respect of the colored race. I would inculcate in it the wish to improve itself as a distinct race with a heredity, a set of traditions, an array of aspirations all its own. Out of such racial ambitions and pride will come natural regressions without narrowing any rights such as are proceeding in both rural and urban communities now in southern states, satisfying natural inclinations and adding notably to happiness and contentment. "On the other hand I would insist upon equal educational opportunity for both. This does not mean that both would become equally educated within a generation or two generations or ten generations. Even men of the same race do not accomplish such an equality as that, but there must be such education among the colored people as will enable them to develop their own leaders, capable of understanding and sympathizing with such a differentiation between the races as I have suggested with proper ideals of race pride, of national pride, of an honorable destiny; and important participation in the universal effort for advancement of humanity as a whole. Racial amalgamation there cannot be. Partnership of the races in developing the highest aims of all humanity there must be if humanity not only here, but everywhere is to achieve the ends which we have set for it. "I can say to you people of the south, both white and black, that the time has passed when you are entitled to assume that this problem of racer is peculiarly and particularly your problem. More and more it is becoming a problem of North; more and more it is the problem of Africa, of South America, of the Pacific of the South Seas, of the world. It is the problem of democracy everywhere if we mean the things we save about democracy as the ideal political state. Education Must Be Intelligent. 'Every consideration it seems to me brings us back last to the question of education. When I speak of education as a part of this race question I do not wart the states or the nation to attempt to educate people whether white or black into something they are not fitted to be. I have no sympathy with the half baked altruism that would overstock us with doctors and lawyers, of whatever color and leave us in need of people fit and willing to do the manual work of a workaday world. But I would like to see an education that would fit every man not only to do his particular work as well as possible but to rise to a higher plane if he would deserve it. For that sort of education I have no fears, whether it be given to a black man or a white man. From that sort of education I believe black men, white men, the whole nation would draw immeasurable benefit. "It is probable that as a nation we have come to the end of the period of very rapid increase in our population. Restricted immigration will reduce the rate of increase and force us back upon our older population to find people to do the simpler physically harder manual tasks. This will require some difficult readjustments. "In anticipation of such a condition the south may well recognize that north and west are likely to continue their drafts upon its colored population and that if the south wishes to keep its fields producing and its industry still expanding, it will have to compete for the services of the colored man. If it will realize its need for him and deal fairly with him, the south will be able to keep him in such numbers as your activities make desirable. "It is not possible then that in the long era of readjustment upon which we are entering for the natios to lay aside old prejudices and old antagonisms and in the broad clear light of nationalism enter upon a constructive policy in dealing with these intricate issues. Just as we shall prove ourselves capable of doing this we shall insure the industrial progress, the agricultural security, the social and political safety of our whole country, regardless of race or sections, and along the lines of ideals superior to every consideration of groups or class, or race or color, or sections or prejudice." EDITOR CHILES CONGRATULATES Senator Arthur Capper, United States Senate, Washington, D. C. Dear Senator: Express our thanks to the President for the fearless expressions which he recently made at Birmingham, Ala., on the question of the Race. There is no doubt in our mind but what he is a man sent from God to do the things which were commanded over 1900 years ago. The race of which we represent thinks ten thousand times more of that expression than they do of the few "loaves and fishes" which could be handed down to appease a few. Also, Senator, accept the thanks of the colored people for the many good things you are doing to es- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 28, 1921 tablish them as American citizens.

MINISTER GET3 Washington, Oct. 24—The President today sent the following nomination to the Senate: To be Minister Resident and Consul General to Liberia, Solomon Porter Hood, of Trenton, N. J. The Rev. Mr. Hood has been active in religious and political life for the past fifteen years, but never has held political office. He was born in Lancaster Co., Penn, in 1832, and received his education and degree at Lincoln University, Lincoln, Pt. Later he completed postgraduate courses at Princeton and Columbia Universities. He went to Havtli in 1884, where he spent five years in religious and educational work, being appointed to the post by the A. M. D. church of America. Upon his return, he began his religious activities in this country. He came to Trenton, from Orange, N. J. about fifteen years ago to asume the pastorate of the Mount Zion A. M. E. church, where he occupied the pulpit for seven years. Relinguishing his charges, he was named as presiding elder of the A.M. E church for the Newark district and after five years of service in that capacity was placed in charge of the Atlantic City district, where he is at this time engaged WHITE WOMAN HALTS FUNERAL TO RESENT SLUR OF DEAD Flushing, N. Y., Oct 24—"He worshipped me and I loved the old man" remarked Mrs. Norma F. Nelson, at the funeral of her aged man servant, Thos' Vass, who was born in Virginia during the days of slavery and who died in a Flushing hospital. Mrs. Nelson arranged for the purchase of a lot in the cemetery and for a funeral in Ebeneszer Baptist church, where the Rev. Henry Parker, was austituting during the pastor's absence. She was shocked when she caught the drift of the Reverend's sermon. "Brother Vass was baptized in this church, he always spoke well, but he didn't come here any more." Mrs. Nelson said the clerkman's oration ran. "I don't see many of his friends here today. I guess they had a good reason for not coming. I do not believe Brother Vass has been saved. I am not sure but I am very doubtful, indeed, brethren. Yes, I am very doubtful." Mrs. Nelson rose and walked up the aisle, stopped before the pulpit and addressed the Rev. Mr Parker, "I do not know if it is allowed to your church to interrupt you," she said to the minister, "but I loved the old man and I know him to be all that is good and fine, and true and loyal and I shall not sit quietly by and hear his memory traduced." When the services were ended, Mrs. Nelson signalled to the undertaker to remove the coffin, which she and her family then escorted to the cemetery, where Mr. Nelson read the Episcopal service over the grave into which his old family servant was lowered. LINCOLN UNIVERSITY---THE PRIDE OF MISSOURI---IT'S PROSPECTS AND POSSIBILITIES ARE MANIFOLD. Pres. Richardson Is An Able Educator Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Missouri, has certainly raised the hopes and ambitions of the coming generation under the guidance of its president, Prof. Clement Richardson, whom we find to be a popular, diplomatic, painstaking scholar and educator, a graduate of Yale University, which has furnished the world more able men than any other institution in this country. To prove the assertion, since he took charge of the institution, it has increased in enrollment until they are now overcrowded and at a time when finances are scarce and thousands of people are out of employment, yet parents and friends are sacrificing to seek and make possible the education of the young people. In spite of the dilapidated condition of some of the buildings, which we understand have been [Image of a man in a tuxedo with a bow tie]. J. PRES. CLEMENT RICHARDSON The Scholar, Educator, Gentleman and Efficient Head of Lincoln University, Located at Jefferson City, Missouri, The Scholar, Educator, Gentleman and Efficient Head of Lincoln University, Located at Jefferson City, Missouri, In use some forty or fifty years, they are forging ahead making the best of conditions, with the hope of the new and better buildings to be erected in the near future. They are in need of two dormitories for boys and girls, an administration building, and a general trades hall equipped with modern conveniences and suitable apparatus for the proper instruction. Missouri colored people have not had square deal in the matter of education. The white people have all the facilities that money can buy, for the education of their young people. At Columbia, the seat of the state University, the school is a dream. We are proud to note the fact that the legislature of Missouri has appropriated over $600 000 to begin improvements at Lincoln University, formerly called Institute. The Governor has appointed the following curators to govern the affairs and we predict some great things under the administration of President Richardson assisted by these men and women who compose the board. The white members have plodged their hearty support to the colored members of the board and are going to leave it solely to these members to push the work. The Curators are as follows: Mr. C. H. Kirshner, Kansas City, Mo.; Mr. Edgar Rombauer, St Louis, Mo.; Mr. George Crissman, Warren- burg, Mo. Mrs. Julia Curtis, St. Louis, Mo.; Mr. Rufus Logan, Kansas City, Mo.;Dr. J. E. Perry, Kansas City, Mo.; and Mr. Sam Baker, State Supt. of Schools, Jefferson City, Mo. The colored members are Dr. J. E. Perry, of Kansas City, a high-class christian gentleman, a reputable physician and surgeon and a thorough race man who will do the right thing, having no prejudice and will deal fair with both races. The whole state of Missouri has turned their eyes on these colored members to see to it that their interests are well cared for, that the plans as outlined for the improvement and enlargement of the institution are carried out to a letter. That moncy be properly used and not revert to the treasury. The citizens of St Louis speak in the highest terms concerning the capabilities ```markdown ``` of Mrs. Julia Curtis, the lady member who is highly cultured and has the real common sense to apply to public matters which most women do not possess. She is an educator, is public spirted, a devout christian mother, and one whom the race can feel secure in her administration of the affairs of Lincoln University. Mr. Rufus Logan, an ex-newspaper man and politician can be of inestimable service in such a position if he sees fit. He wishes his race well and is in a position to lend assistance in pushing the work forward, as it is the big things that count and if Mr. Logan keeps on that side he will accomplish much. He is familiar with the needs of his race and the school and can manipulate the political wires to the best advantage for the institution which he represents. Representative Moore who worked hard to pass the bill should see to it that this project goes through. We beg and implore this board composed of members of the two races to work together in harmony and assist Pres. Richardson in building a great educational institution. We have great faith in the ability of the president and feel that he knows what it takes to constitute a school of the magnitude of Lincoln University. We believe if the board will follow his plans and give him the proper support, they will not go amiss.

For the past several days we have been on the road in the interest of the PLAINDEALER, making various points in Missouri. Very shortly we shall go into the state of Oklahoma. In our recent trip we made the following towns: Atchison, St Joseph, Troy, Kan, Horton, Donner Springs, Groves Center, Kansas, the home of Hon. J. G. Groves, the Potato King; Kansas City, Lexington, Mo., Higginsville, Sedalia, Jefferson City, Mexico, St. Louis, Alton and Godfrey, Illinois, then back to Montgomery Mo., Macon, Moberly, Huntaville, Salsbury, Keyteville, Dalton, Carrollton, and Norborne. We found the race doing things and improving wonderfully in all respects. No way to hold them back. They are buying and building good homes, farming and working at various trades, investing and organizing substantial business and investing and buying stock in white concerns. Everybody is waking up to the great commercial movement which is being launched all over the country, and which looms up today as the most likely salvation for the Colored contingent of the United States. Our status as American citizens will be recognized in proportion to our progress from an economic and financial standpoint. Like the American Jew, the wizard of American finance today, who on teaching this point in his short career, made things possible big own people to gain recognition and established them solidly as a powerful factor in the body politic of the United States. briefly, do we call to our readers attention important happenings we observed enroute: Grand Master Crittenton Clark, of the Grand Old Missouri jurisdiction, is waking up the old state along fraternal lines and is setting a warm pace for the world. He is cleaning house, renovating, paying and dynamiting. He has organized a new Grand Chapter, known as Harmony Grand Chapter, Order of the Eastern Star and put $200000 behind it to pay off all death claims. No Master Mason in good standing can affiliate with the old Order of the Eastern Star or hold fraternal relations with the one which has placed the order in bid with all sister jurisdictions. They now become curious and clandestine. All subordinate chapters can retain their standing by making application to the new Grand Chapter. We regret to know such action was necessary and the report is that "hot heads" and not keeping their promises is the cause of the eruption. In another issue we shall deal more fully with the details of the matter. We had the pleasure of visiting George R. Smith College at Sedalia, Missouri, and the Bartlett Industrial School at Dalton, Missouri. Both of these institutions are full of fire and doing well and we will say more of them later on. As a suggestion to our race institutions, we need some bright, active young men and women to learn to become operators of linetype machines, job and cylinder presses, that they may go into our newspaper plants and assist in giving to the world our side of the color question. There is good money to be made in the newspaper field for the young man or woman who will put forth the energy. It is the general impression of the rising generation that it is not necessary to give that same energy and attention to a colored man's business, that they do to a white man's business. This is a mistake and the sooner that our young people realize that "by our efforts do we rise, just so long will we be 'fewers of wood and drawers of water'" THE PAPER OF THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE AND THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE—THE PLAINDEALER NOTICE Mr. Walter H.

WHATS THE MATTER WITH THE ‘KANSAS NEGRO FARMER? In a recent bulletin issued dy the Department of Commerce of the 14th Census of the Unitel States, giving the agricutural data of the state of Kansas, we find some startling in- formation regarding the colored far mor. The statistics show that in the year of 1910, there were 1,532 color- ed farmerg in the state, of which 1,088 were farm owners, 21 of them farm managers and 572 were farm tenants, of this number, 157 were Indians, and 2 Japs { The census of 1920 shows the sur- prising decrease of 397 farmersmak- ing a total of 1135 farmers, with 793 of them owners, 18 managers and 427 tenanats, with 103 Indians and No Japs. The colored farmer ac: cordiag to this bulletis, has 176,657 acres of farm land today, of which 120,224 acreg are Improved, this to- gether with the unimproved land and buildings thereon, is valued at the sum of $9,516,735, Of the total number of colored far mers of the state, 45 of this num: ber are to be found in Wyandotte county; 42 In Shawnee; 32 In Wa Dbaunsee; 29 fa Stevens: 12 in Pratt; 31 jn Leavenworth; 55 {n Jackson; 38 in Graham; 27 in Atchison; 25 in Logan; 46 in Douglass, and the re- mainder sratlered over the state.

VIGOB OF YOUTH IN A NEW DISCOVERY Superior to Famous Gland Treatment Magic Power of a Bark, from Africa Have you lost your youth, vigor and "pep"? 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 Re-Nu-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 ReNu Tab Laboratories, Dept. 144, Gateway station, Kansas City, Mo., and a full treatment of ReNu Tabs will be mailed Deposit $200 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. LINCOLN UNIVERSITY THE PRIDE OF MISSOURI—ITS PROSPECTS AND POSSI- BILITIES MANIFOLD. can be but one head of anything If the three colored members want to act as president and curators, their mission is at an end, and the school will be in the same rut as of old. The institutions which are managed by whites, empower the head and give him full authority and if he falls down they get another to take his place. We will wait and watch with patience to see if the executive powers of the race are growing. We were shown through the buildings by two young ladies who took great pains to explain to us what each department was doing, explaining each and every detail and introduced us to the various members of the faculty. We note the low scale of salaries paid the teachers and employees, in comparison with the same work done by white teachers. This will shortly be remedied, we trust. We found the dormitories in a very run-down condition which makes it a job for the matrons to see that the buildings might be presentable. The various rooms and departments are in need of paint and wall paper, which would improve looks. Some of them being old and worn out material and should be torn out. The Boarding department is running in good shape. They have good cooks, best of food and plenty of it. Mr. Anderson Schweich is back on the job and is the man for the place. He is ably assisted by Mrs. Ida M. Beck. This department also needs new quarters. The young people are not taking to the trades as fast as they should and would if the departments were properly equipped with machinery, and necessary equipment. The ladies tailoring department is doing fine work and is in need of more and better equipment. The music department has only five pianos, could use fifteen or twenty. These five are located away up in the attic. A music hall is greatly needed where suitable instruction can be given. We addressed the teachers and students and listened to a splendid program rendered by the Senior high school on Columbus Day. A number of papers, speeches and songs were rendered. The assembly hall is antiquated, this being the first building erected just before Noah's flood. In traveling over the state we hear complaints about the white people grafting on the purchase of some land a short time ago for the school. The land, we find is desired much needed. White men would graft from Christ Himself, if he were here on earth. There is not a public project is the state of Missouri where the taxpayers money is used, but what graft does not creep in, so the race need not be surprised at the graft on this deal. From now on watch and pray, they will use some graft in the construction of new buildings. Just do all in your power to keep it down to a nominal figure. Graft is the white man's first religion. If this matter is left to the President and Curators, every cent would go where it was intended. We are told that the Governor anad the Superintendent of Education are doing all in their power to see that this institution is placed on equal footing of the other state institutions and the white members of the board are gentlemen and friends of the race and believe in fair play. PRES. RICHARDSON MEMBER OF EDUCATIONAL COMMISSION OF SOUTH. COOPERATIVE LEAGUE J. E. McCullock, secretary of the Southern Cooperative League, has just notified President Richardson of Lincoln university of the latter's appointment as a member of the educational commission of the league. Two other members of the commission are: Governor C. H. Bough of Arkansas and Dr. J. W. Abercombie, president of the Alabama Poletechnic Institute at Auburn, Alabama. The commission meets in Chattanooga, Tenn., November 7th. Its immediate task and purpose is to work out a definite program for bringing re-enforcements to the educational interests of the south in order to remove the stigma of illiteracy.

A nelghbor made thp complain They werg arratgned in court that evening. ‘The little girl was found to be covered with bruises, sores, boils and abcesses caused from beat: ings, 80 the doctors state. The child ‘was more dead than allve and has since been under the care of the doctor. The Justice placed the child temporarily In the care of Mrs, Bob. Buckingham, The trial of the How: ards came off on the 10th resulting In his discharge and .her conviction. Penalty being $5000 and 30 days ts fail. They have appealed. | Now in the course of the trial it developed that the Howards had ob- tained this little orphan from an or- phan home or some such [natitution In Atchison, Kautas. They have a contract to keep the child unt!l 1930 and though {t was in the worse-ton- dition that you have ever seen they had never had @ doctor to attend it. Since their arrest the doctors have operated on It and have taken over ®& pint of corruption from one ab- cess, Now J am writing you to lo- cate the Institution from whence this child came, so they can know the facts and act accordingly. Surely Kansas takes better care of her or- phans. The people here are much incensed at the way the child was treated and think the guilty parties should be punished. I hope you wit’find time to look after this matter and let me know what you bave done.
