On our trip of some days ago, we covered several towns and cities of which of we referred last week. At Atchison we found something good on hand in a business wav among our people which was indeed very commendable. We find here some very progressive people who exercise good judgment and if this same tact and ability was prevalent throughout the entre country, there would be no race problem. While there we conversed with Mr. Chas. Porter, one of Atchison's leading substantial, and highly respected colored men who is superintendent of the Wash Green Mill and Elevator Co. where he has been in this position for the past twenty-three years, with a salary of about $3000,00 per year. He is an expert on wheat and other grain and his judgment will pass the test against any other person who holds a similar position. This firm has been established for over 50 years and is one of the oldest in the state. That is not all, Mr. Porter is one of the largest stockholders of the firm. There are several other colored men who are stockholders with an aggregate totalling over $5000,00. Some of these men are Henry Dickey, George Irving, P. W. Dennett and others of this community, all of whom are substantial, progressive business men and have money. Colored men can make no mistake in investing in enterprises of this kind which are operated and managed by white men of the caliber of the members of this firm. It has oil, gas, gold mines and get-rich-quick schemes beat a mile. This new mill when completed will have a capacity of 2200 barrels a day. The Wash., who are the owners and promoters of the mill and elevator concern are among the most highly respected, conservative business men of this section. Their high, christian character and reputation is one of their chief assets in the business. Mr. Porter stands for fair play between the races and states that the white and colored people of Atchison get along like the average brother and sister. Mr. Porter is a 32nd degree Mason and is a Past Master of his lodge; he is Past Eminent Commander of the Knights Templar of Kansas and in addition to his ability to run the mill, he is also an electrician and has several colored men working under him. The capital stock of this mill is almost a million dollars. Mr. George Kelly is the assistant in the upstairs department, and has been connected with the mill for fifteen years. THE KERFORD BROTHERS THE KERFORD BROTHERS We are proud to note the fact that one of the largest firms in the country conducted by Race men, is the Kerford Bros, who operate one of the largest rock crushing businesses in the west employing a number of men pay roll runs into the thousands. Mr. Lloyd Kerford, one of the members of the firm has just taken unto himself a beautiful young woman as a wife, in the person of Miss Lucille Dorsey, of Parsons. Kansas. She taught in Atchison two terms previous to the time of their marriages. They were married in St. Louis and sent their honey-moon in Chicago. They are now at home to their many friends in their handsome new hung-up which he recently built and enjoying life to their heart's content. Mrs Kerford is the daughter of J. Murroe Dorsey, for years connected with the TOPEKA PLANDEWALER and now in the employment of the U.S. Government at Washington. We met the Rev C R Tucker, for more of Tulsa, Okla, who is now the pastor, of the A M. E. church of Atchison and is making great progress in his new field. He likes the people and we find only words of praise for him and his work. He was in the Tulsa riot and thinks he has enough of that country. We are indeed proud to find so much harmony existing between the Athlson and Leavenworth lodges of Masons. Which ever city calls for donations for the laying of a corner stone or any other gathering, the other readily accepts the invitation and turns out in large numbers. Leavenworth laid a corner stone for the C.M. I. church sometime ago, and the Athlson Masons chartered a train and took down several hundred members for the occasion. The Masons of Leavenworth met them at the train with a hand and marched to their beautiful hall where they had four large tubs of fried chicken and every other thing that goes with it and fed the Masons and their friends, free and abundantly. This is the kind of hospitality that the Masons of these two cities extend to each other when they meet. ST. JOSEPH, MO Now at St Joe, we were proud to meet our friend Anthony Moten, who The Plaindea The Plaindea has retired from the mail service after forty years of service without a single mark against him in all these years. He is a progressive citizen, owns seven different pieces of property and is a man full of race pride. Our friend, Dr. C. S. Wheatly, who is one of the finest Chipopodists in the West and who has one of the finest and most complete offices there, was glad to see us. He has employed four young women who are capable and efficient in their line. He is doing a splendid business among the wealthiest class of people who reside in the State of Missouri. Mr. Chas. Phelps is one of the best known and wealthiest men of St. Joe and has just recently purchased a handsome $5000.00 auto. Mrs. R. E. Whitney owns good property and conducts a first-class fashionable boarding house at 918 Mitchell street. St Joe has a o good class of white people and experienced business men who are great friends to the colored people. We wish to call the attention of our readers who want to make money, especially sportsmen, who are hunting wild game at this season of the year, to get in touch with Mr. J. D. Emery, of the St Joe Hide and Fur company, 108 N. 2nd street. They do the business of the country, buy all kinds of hides, especially coons, skunks, minks, and wolf hides. Mr. Emery is a big-hearted, generous, conscientious, and conservative business man. He is assisted by his wife, who is one of the best business women we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She handles the cash and directs the business when Mr. Emery is on the road, and in fact, when he is in, as well. They are proud of their young son, J. D. Jr, who is making himself famous in the base-ball world. He has played second base at Cushins, Okla., is just 19 years of age and is rapidly pushing his way up the ladder of fame in the sport world. In the winter months, he assists them in their business. Every boy or girl who has a hide or fur of any kind and wants to make some money, write this firm or send in the hides and they will forward the money. We were proud to meet our friend, Mr. L. E. Perry, who for a number of years has been engaged in the furniture business, in which he has made a success. He buys and sells everything from a knitting needle to a threshing machine, buys and sells household furnishings and is carrying on a good, substantial business. While in the city of St. Joe, we attended the session of the C.M.P. conference which was holding at this time, over which the Rt. Rev. Bishop Cleaves, presides. This conference was one of the best we have attended this year. The Bishop is certainly a fine man, is diplomatic, courteous and truly a Christian wearer of the cloth. He loves his men and they love him dearly. He is easily approached, is sympathetic and willingly takes the men into his confidence and considers their work and their conditions. He does not try to saddle on them something that is impossible for them to do. He feels and appreciates the worth of each man to the church or community and makes every effort to send the minister to that position which he is best suited and capable and will give satisfaction both to the congregation as well as the community. His daughter travels with him and acts as his private secretary. She is a fine young woman, highly educated and makes numerous friends, not only for herself, but for her father and the denomination. We were kept busy and while in city, we were the guests of Mr. H. L. Campbell and wife, Mr. Campbell is one of the finest tonalist artists in the country. He is the manager of the Haynes Barber shop. He has two fine boys who have just recently entered school and they are certainly Captains on the job. Mrs. Campbell was formerly of Topeka, is an accomplished, cultured lady and a fine housekeeper. Mr. P. F. Haynes who conducts one of the best barber shops in the city of St Joseph, has just returned from Europe where he visited in London, France, Brussels, Home and Belgium. He attended the Pan-African Congress and speaks very highly of the country and was impressed with the way people attend to business over there. In that countr it is up to the man who has the ability, money and standing to make good. Mr Haynes is an influential young man and the people look to him as being an honest, upright gentleman and a leader. He organized the mercantile company which was recently closed on account of inexperienced help, but he is now getting matters adjusted so that the stock holders will get back all or a part of their TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 11, 1921 One of the substantial old citizens of this city is Prof. Harry Robinson, who has conducted a barber shop in St Joe for almost a half century, at 314 Felix street. In connection with his barber shop he operates the St Joseph Costume Works. He is a dealer and manufacturer of theatrical costumes and requisites. He has rental apartments for school and amateur plays. This was established in 1870. We had the pleasure of visiting this department and must say that it is the greatest that we have ever seen or heard of. He has thousands of dollars invested in this concern. He can fit out wedding parties, furnish full dress suits for banquets—in fact anything in the dress line, including military and band outfits. During the few minutes we were in the establishment, we noticed over 50 white people—call to rent costumes and paraphanalia for Hallowe'en parties, paying all the way from -200 to $1000 for their use. Mr. Robinson has in charge of this business an intelligent young woman, who is full of business, is active, courteous and polite to the customers and can fit a person in a minutes ```markdown ``` DR.

Miss Lygora Johnson is the young lady anad has been connected with the firm for ten years. She manufacturers, plans and puts out anything that might suggested or in- dicated to her on special orders. They employ three or four young w- omen of the race in connection with this institution. Prof. Robinson is reputed to be one of St Joe's wealth- men, owns good property and his word is law and gospel in the banks of this city. There is not a white firm west of the Mississippi river which has any fluer or larger stock than his. Our next stop was at Troy, Kansas. We were the guests of Mr. Schumack and wife, leading people of the town. We found Mrs. Lillian Webster and her four beautiful and intelligent children. She is a teacher in the public school and is rated as being one of the best in the west. She is a highly cultured young woman and her children show it. This is a case where you can see that blood tells. Her two girls, scarcely in their teens, are very bright in their studies. They attend the high school. Mr. Schumack conducts a dairy and has several fine towns. Mr. Morris Smiddy, one of the old timers handles the mail for the government. We met the Rev MsTusell, and wife, the pastor of the A. M. B. He is doing well and the people are very fond of them and are giving their best support. He is a fine christian gentleman and his wife is a good christian lady and gives her husband support in his work. At this point, we call our readers attention to a business where there is ample opportunity to make good. That is the laundry business. There is no reason why there should not be more of our people engaged in the hand laundry business in the cities and towns over the country. There are improved electric and gas washings machines, froning machines, and the people are now tired of steam landry services as the chemicals used in the extraction process soon wear out linen and fine clothing. The customer prefers paying a little more when they get it done at a hand landry and the demand is growing for hand work. Our women should get usy with this proposition and move up a step or two by getting this modern machinery in their homes, building a little washing and drying room on the rear and connect it with the sewer or other suitable drainage, and then get their lazy husbands to do something else beside loaf on the street corners where they talk about something they know eaded For Ok Invested capital. TROY absolutely nothing about. The time is right for this kind of business and our race should get busy and take it in. Any further information along this line will be furnished by us on request. KANSAS CITY, KANSAS Dr. J. G. N. SOANES Our many readers will be interested in knowing something of Dr. J. G. N. Soanes, of Kansas City, Kansas, whose office is located at 421 Minneapolis avenue. He is one of the leading physicians and surgeons of the West, is a highly polished, Christian gentleman, who has unusual executive, as well as professional ability. He is loved and highly respected by all who know him, especially for his fair-dealing, honest expression and his diplomatic way in handling affairs not only personal, but for the many organizations, both fraternal and civic, with which he is identified. He is a native of Barbados, West India Islands, which is under English control and of which he is an English subject. He came to the United States in 1894 and graduated from Howard University Medical department in the year of 1901. He came ```markdown ``` to Kansas and was licensed to practice his profession in 1902; and in 1910, was married to Miss Marie Gilmore, a highly cultured, trained nurse of Leavenworth, Kansas. They own a handsome home at 2006 N. 6th St. as well as other valuable property in this city. The doctor is very much a fraternal man and is a member of almost every lodge in the city, is a 33rd degree Mason, Grand Treasurer of the Mutual Aid Board of the U. B. F. lodge, which handles thousands of dollars each year. These funds are entrusted to the care and keeping of this scholarly and reliable gentleman. He is now Deputy Grand Master of Prince Hall Grand Lodge, A. F. and A. M. He is now in line to be the next Grand Master of the Kansas jurisdiction. He is also Past Chancellor of Stringer Lodge, K. of F.; Treasurer of the Pythian building Association which is now erecting a building at a cost of $60,000.00 His positions of trust and responsibility are so numerous in other lodges that we are unable to name them. He is a member of the Wyandotte Medical Society which is composed of members of both races. He is also a member of the Acusculap Medical Society of Kansas City; a member of the staff of the Whistle Provident and the Douglas Hospitals of the two Kansas Cities. He enjoys a fine practice and is up to date in all branches of his profession and is a hard, consistent student. We have found him to be a strong advocate and believer of his race. KANSAS CITY, MO We are exceedingly proud to note that the Y.W.C.A. among the colored women of this city has been established and is doing fine work at their labor, 19th and Pasco. Such an institution is very much needed and this city affords a splendid field of labor and activity for the organization and we trust and hope that the purposes for which the parent body organized will be instituted and maintained to the letter. The public spirited citizens, the ministers and churches, and other bodies of the city should by all means lend support to this worthy cause. White women coming into the city total strangers find a refuge of safety, are found suitable positions and given the proper environments at their organizations, let our sister body do likewise.

THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER YOUR HOME PAPER-THAT'S ALL lahoma. Sub PROP, R. B. HAYES, PRESIDENT OF GEORGE R. SMITH COLLEGE, SEDALIA, MISSOURI. GEORGE R. SMITH COLLEGE AT SEDALIA, MO, IS ON AN UPWARD TREND President Hayes The Man For The Job Here is located George R. Smith College, one of the oldest institutions in the state which is controlled by Board of Education for Negroes, of the Methodist Episcopal church and was opened in 1894. The support for this institution comes from both white and colored members of this denomination, over which there are white and colored bishops. Bishop Wm. A. Quayle, resident bishop and Chairman of the Board of Trustees. The institution was named after the late George R. Smith, and through his daughters twenty-eight acres of land were given for the purpose of an educational institution for the education of the colored youth of the West. It was a pleasure indeed, to meet the president, Prof. R. B Hayes, whom we found to be a gentleman, highly cultured, well educated and of excellent executive ability for managing such an institution. The Board used splendid judgment in selecting Prof. Hayes and his heart and soul is wrapped up in the institution he so ably hends. He is striving to increase the enrollment as well as to increase the building accommodations. He is a graduate of Baker University, Baldwin, Kansas, and was graduated in the class of 1903. For thirteen years he was connected with the Orlando Smith College and came to the presidency of George R. Smith College in the year 1916. The institution has at this time eight-one students and ten teachers. They have spent several thousand dollars for improvements. Have twenty acres of good land for school purposes; a fine truck garden which supplies a portion of produce for the institution. The faculty is competent, qualified and its members are from some of the best schools in the country. At the chapel exercises we addressed the teachers and students, whom we we found intelligent and the students eager in their search for an education. We found a number of the members of the faculty to be from Kansas Kansas is certainly doing its share in the educational field. President Hayes is very strong for the church and when he takes the rostrum in defense of his institution and seeks for aid, he has no trouble in getting funds. The people of Sedalia are proud of George R. Smith College, its president and the faculty, as well as the student body. The curriculum includes instruction in agriculture, astronomy, economics, history of education, education and most every literary subject and various phases of industrial work. We can say to their credit that the faculty comes from all corners of the country: Ohio, Georgia, Indiana, Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. SEDALIA One of the busiest places in this section of the state is Sedalia. We found the race doing well and a large number of the M. K. & T., and the Mop Pacific railroads. The Rev. P. B. Ward, pastor of the Morgan Street Baptist church is erecting a handsome new church at a cost of over $35 000. We believe him to be a progressive minister and loved not only by his members, but the city as well. He owns valuable property in Topka and other towns. He is lacking only $6 000 to complete the new church building, but has plans whereby this amount may be raised later. A few months ago he (Concluded on Page Three) PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR WHITE SOUTHERN MAN ATTACKS RACE WHITE SOUTHERN MAN ATTACKS RACE EDITOR CHILES REBUKES MISSOURI EDITOR FOR HIS VILE ARTICLE REGARDING RACE. Our attention has been called to the following article appearing in the HARDIN News, a newspaper published by a Southern 'cracker' at Hardin, Mo. The article appears uxord the caption, "Million and A Half Went Up In Smoke." and is as follows: "The fire loss resulting from the race riot in Tulsa, May 31 and June 1, is placed at $1,500,000. One and a half millions disappeared in smoke because some of the younger and 'smarter' element of the Southern niggar, members of the 'Blood Brotherhood' organization, that has its aim and object the placing of the piggar on an equality with the white, wanted to show 'white folks' how strong they were getting No doubt you have noticed the Ku Klu Klan has been revived in the South. Its revival is the direct result of the activities of this 'Blood Brotherhood' organization and its low and unprincipaled supporters among the politicians and office holders who want the niggar vote—in other words, the white trash element. The niggars in Tulsa had it coming to them, as any man down there will tell you privately, because they had become arrogant, dominating, insulting and very nasty in spots. It requires drastic action at times to keep the Southern coon in his place, especially the younger element, for the true old Southern niggar knows his place, keeps it, is respected by the whites, and no trouble is bad with him. The Klan, however, will see to it that this new element is kept in its places, likewise its more deprived and 'honrier' sympathizer and supporter, although the Klan had nothing directly to do with the Thusa riots, as it deals with the individual nigar collectively. There is a mistaken idea prevalent over the country that the Ku Klux Klan is an organization of the riff raff and sought element. Such is not the case, for its members are drawn from the best manhood there is in the South and you must be a MAN, and a HIH MAN at that, to be solicited to become a member. The South needs that Klan and will need it until politics are reformed and men are put in office who will administer the law as was intended and not for political prestige. The Klan is essential to the welfare of the section in which it is operative. Of course, it is natural to condone such an occurrence as transpired in Tulsa, because the good must suffer with the bad, but such things must happen sometimes, for the only way you can keep a mule from braying is to kill him. n Aryway the activities of the 'Blood Brotherhood' has suffered a set back from which it will be sometime recovering." We gather from the above article that the writer is one of, and is a fit specimen of that ignorant, block headed, riff raff of which he refers. And on the other hand, it it regrettable that the law does not (Concluded on Page Four) omer it eS Fo, PET eg CUA yet) RAR TARE MOLNAR CLE we VENEER DR HER TENT LER 12e 2ES eapNerer acer TT EG eI A SA FRI S ye . es ae eT FEA PG PEE AE MS BELT LS Tae te BT UE ay Ua ne de Pa Toe at AE ee re ee te OT NN geese ag .

After years of prosperous business the face value of the stock increased and a few efforts were made to purchase his stock, but he held on. A few days ago he was called on by one of the officials and asked his own figure for his stock.

The music lovers of St Joe greeted the famous Blind Boone and his concert company with a great crowd at the Robidoux High School and Baptist churches.

Best-Advertising Medium in the Southwest. prohibit such reptilian beings as the writer from venting his spleen in the public press, not that he is harm to the race of which he refers, but such filth and 'low brow' reading is not the best for any one. The writer missed his calling when he entered the newspaper field. He belongs down there in the South among the rough neck, of which class, e is A. No. I, Simon purre. The time has come when such half-starved, fil-breed white men are out their place in this game. The people of today demand writers of intelligence, judgement and ability and not such trashy stuff as this Missouri hill-billy attempts to write. This is the class which involves the press of today and brings criticism upon our newspapers. This is the type which causes race riots and other troubles by writing foolish and misleading articles colored to their own likes and dialikes. We are surprised that Hardin, Mo. stands for such editorials to be published without resenting them. We know that this is not the sentiment of the better class of white and colored citizens of that community. I will venture the assertion that this would be editor has returned to the north to spread the flame of rackful hatred between the Races. He is too late, he was possibly sent by the Ku Klux Klan to come this way to organize in Missouri. I think, however, he will have hard sledding for his Klan in that section. All of the people around Hardin, are not fools, if he is. They will not fall from their hard earnings for the Klan. They believe in playing in the open. He gave the real secret of it all when he called attention of the organization of the Klan in the South to suppress the colored people. We believed all the while, but now we know it. We are sorry for this poor misguided simp of an editor, who must be the pliant tool of the Klan. Why the lowest type of colored people are away above your manner of thinking and doing. The races are getting together along business and progressive lines and are at present reaching conclusions on the needs and benefits of each other and are striving to prevent the invasion of the foreign nationalities, realizing that they must cling together for the success of all concerned. The best white and colored people of America are counselling together and such rotten stuff as you are putting out helps to the extent that we may get a line and sight on our enemies. Why can't you be a high class editor? There is ample room for improvement and now after reading this comment, go and retract that filthy and vicious attack on the colored people. The Tulsa colored people will take care of themselves. The fair-minded ones of both races in that city are doing great things. It is only you and your kind that attempts to give us trouble. It was an ignorant news writer of your type which caused the Tulsa riot and other troubles over the country and the sooner such editorials are suppressed, the better the people will become a law-abiding nation. Can't you write something so you can be noticed? You must have some half brothers and sisters among the colored race of Missouri. If so, blame your own parents who professed so much love for them that caused you now to hate them. If you have any recognize them, they are your own flesh and blood. As a rule when we hear a whiteman abusing a colored man, they have been or are mighty close to them. So wake up, would be editor of the Hardin News, get in line, times have changed, this is an age of intelligence and each and every man and woman is working for the uplift and advancement of humanity. NICK CHILES. Editor TopekaPlaindealer. President, Kansas Defensa Society. MUSKOGEE, OKLA. (By J. E. MASON.) The Casket company organized by our local men of which Mr. W. T. Meridith is the prime mover is making quite a success. The best way to test the social equality "howl" is to have the mulattoe thru out the south stage a silent parade under the flag of "Where is my father." This will serve as the best antidote for this particular hasslera. The public was dumbfounded a few days ago on the finding of a deep furniture conspiracy, which involved some of our leading men. This is to be regretted. The campaign against the insurance men is yielding fruit. We hope the women of our race will not insist upon working a hardship on the men by having the agents around their homes. The ministers should take this matter up and tell our women the pernicious effect. We hope that denominal selfishness will not destroy the Community League. The Baptists have hired a whiteman to help build their school thru public beggery. He is to get 25 per cent of all collections plus expenses. This cowardly trick along with many other similar acts, gave birth to the split between the two branches of the denomination. The old sage at Nashville would not bend his knee to this modern Jesabel. Our old friend, H. P. B Johnson, came thru from Texas, where he staged a big song feast for the Baptists of that state. H. P. is the music end of the Boyd publishing house. The element of Baptists who revolt against being subsalized by the white Southern Baptists. To spend your money with a drug store where you are dared to ask for an ice cream soda is not only ignorant, but a loss of common decency. We ask for open handed justice, to demand more would be hoggish, to stand for less would be a damphool. Like Phoenix of old, Tulsa has risen Giant like smiling, courageous, and with a fortitude that equals the Romans of old. For a minister to gallvant all over town soliciting funds from gamblers, prostitutes and the underworld invites disrespect for the ministry, reflects on his congregation and lowers the dignity of the profession. This is done to make a rice report at conference, that he be returned. The manhood of Muskogee will not be crushed by non-taxpaying politicians. We will fight every inch for our rights. This "boo-hoo" by the poor white trash will not effect our course. The National political mass meeting to be held at Washington this month may have something to do with the strange talk in Dixie. The old time Negro is ever squawking about "law and order". He gets more kicks, insults, humiliation and all around rough treatment than any one else. The Grand Master's Council is a reality. Their first project is to open a place to make coffins very good idea. We hope to get results from this class of men. They are all aggressive and far-sighted. About thirty-five farmers left on last Thursday for Mexico They will make the Republic their home Good. —THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER— YOUR HOME PAPER—THAT'S ALL Blood Poison Sometimes through life you were probably troubled with blood poison and old standing sores.

Foster and family attended the meeting of the Sunflower Agricultural Association and Farmer's Conference at the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute, Nov. 2nd and 3rd. All report one of the most successful meetings in the history of the organization. If any one thinks colored farmers are not progressing in wealth and education, we invite them to meet with us where you will find some of the most progressive farmers in the state. Here you can find farmers who own from 40 to 2000 acres of good farm land. We had the pleasure of meeting J. G. Groves, the Potato King, of Edwardville, Kansas. Mr. Groves came to Kansas in the year of 1879, a poor, boy without a dollar and went to work for 40 cents a day. Today he ranks among the wealthiest farmers of Kansas. He has been offered $338 000 for his home place. The old saying is, "You cannot keep a good man down' So stop complaining Black man and get down to business. The road is open for you from a Constable to the Presidency. Mrs. Kanse Freeman and Miss Mary Moore of Carbondale, attended the Agricultural Association at Topeka. "It is a white man's problem which confronts us. The fault is in us, not in our colored neighbors. It is our senseless and wicked prejudice against our fellow-men which is the root of all our troubles." Moorfield Storey. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is organized in 42 States. In five years it has grown from 24 Branches and 3000 members to its present membership of over 91,000. Every Branch means that justice to the Negro and full Negro citizenship is so much nearer realization. A united front will secure the Segro's Full Citizenship Rights.
