THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. YOUNG TOPEKA BUSINESS MAN REWARDED FOR LONG SERVICE TWENTY-THIRD, YEAR Nelson Is Dr. McGuire's Manager Twenty-Two Years. Has Saved His Money, New Owns His Home and Cleaning Establishment, Employing Three Persons. Topaka Daily Capital. E. Nelson, colored, general manager of Dr. C. A. McGuire, has been with the doctor for the past twenty-two years. He started as an office boy when he was 16 years old. By hard work and attention to details he has become so well acquainted with the work at the office of Doctor McGuire that he has been put in charge of all the business at the office. His twenty-two-year period was up yesterday. Nelson has saved his money and has built himself and family a new modern house on Woodward avenue. In addition to all this he has a cleaning establishment next door to his house and does a large business. He employs three persons all the time. Stay on Your Job. Nelson believes the way to succeed is to get a job and stay with it. "It has been my aim to do something that would be of some use to the community," he said last night. Doctor and Mrs. McGuire wrote the following letter to Mr. Nelson on the anniversary of his service with him: "To our good friend 'Lish': "It is nearly a quarter of a century or to be more exact it is twenty-two years since our relations of employer and employee and friendship began and we hope and feel it has been mutually satisfactory and beneficial. We recall METROPOLITAN LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY WANTS NO MORE NEGRO POLICIES NEW YORK.—That the Metropolitan Life Insurance company does not encourage Negroes to take out policies in their institution has just been disclobed by Mr. Woodward, vice president of the company, in an interview with James H. Hubert, Executive Secretary of the New York Urban League. Mr. Woodward admitted that over 12 per cent of the company's policyholders are colored; stating that to employ colored agents would only stimulate more business among the race, which is not desired. "The law forces us," said he, "to give same policies to Negroes as we give to whites, while the rating due to the high mortality among Negroes is almost twice as great." Mr. Woodward did not hesitate to urge that Negroes organize their own companies instead of seeking policies with this company. REV. S. B. BUTLER, OF WICHITA GOES TO PASTORATE OF MT. ZION AT INDIANAPOLIS Indianapolis, Ind — The Rev. S. B. Butler recently called to the pastorate of Mt. Zion Baptist Church and who took charge on the first Sunday in November has in the few weeks stay here proven himself the right man in the right place and a valuable addition to the galaxy of procreative ministers pastoring in Indianapolis. Coming to a church whose two previous pastors were men of action in both spiritual as well as racial uplift, he already preages the visit of both the officers and himself in accepting this Western Baptist College at Kansas City, Mo., having the degree of D.P. He comes to Indianapolis from the Calvary Baptist Church at Wichita, Kansas, where he successfully pastored for eleven years completing recently a new $60 000 edifice and resigning over the protest of the church and citizens in general to accept this call. He comes highly recommended and stands well with his denomination all over the country. He is the treasurer of the S. S. and B. Y. P. U. Congress of America, the largest organization of young people of the Race in America. His success in the work Dr. Butler gives the lion's share to Mrs. Butler, also a graduate of Western College and a wonderful hedonate. Indianapolis Recorder FOOTBALL THROUGH THE EYES OF THE STUDENT The Big Talk at Wilberforce University. By Zero W. Webb Wilberforce University—Outside of the Greek nd Latin, students at Wilberforce University comment upon from September to the end of the football season there is always a gang NUMBER 47 your eager, alert expressions when you applied for the position of office boy and we want to say that usually in all these years you have been alert and eager to please and do not only the routine work, but you have been willing and anxious to do anything that needed attention and you have not watched the clock for the hour to quit. "You have gradually grown from office boy to be our general manager and altogether our association has been very pleasant and we have felt that you had our interests at heart. We have mutually helped each other in our trials and griefs and while we have tried to do many things for you outside of our formal business relations, we have always felt that our efforts were appreciated and that you have done much for us outside of your regular duties. We have felt you were loyal to us. "We have watched you grow from a boy to the head of a family and you have worked hard, as has also your good wife, and you have been a success. We feel that if your children can acquire the same reputation for honesty and industry that they will be a success and they may well be proud of you. Hopes to Continue Relations. "We trust that our relations may continue for several years to come if it is congenial to you and not a burden to continue as our general manager and hope that you and your family may have many years of health, happiness and reasonable prosperity. "Very sincerely, "C. A. AND CLARA B. M'GUIRE." here and there who always play the game for the squad before the football squad ever hits the campus. One set knows that Wilberforce will lose and another not so sure, others withe that same old cry our boys are fit, and the other team is not. The most common of all of the worldly comments is the way the crowd views the players, the old common slang "Bring me form" has its good points as well as its bad. It is not that the gang wants the man off the team as it is fro him to bring form and make the team the bes. The average student knows very little about the art of football when it comes to giving honors, they seem to see only the back-field men, never noticing the line-men who stand the licks, knocks and hits of the team, but they center their eyes upon the field and get only the idea that a game is going on, but let a player start down the field with the ball for a touchdown. "Oh man, what a change," everybody will be up on their feet and crying, "Did he make it?" This is the life of the student during the football season, even if the student does not admit it he knows the good points and bad points of the team from a general standpoint and his spirit is always high for his home team. After every game you will hear a hundred and one tales, alibis and other excuses for the playing of his team; now this is football to the eyes of the student. FORMER P. E.

For fifty six years we have allowed you to lead us, now we are thrust with your "windjamming." You have stood by and gave your silent approval to "jim-crowing, segregation, disfranchisement and the prostitution of our women. When we complained you feed us upon sickly prayers and advised us to stay in the South. Go get down and allow some one with a back bone get before the public. The Negro women are the special mark for the Negro preacher. The white men boss the Negro preschers, the preachers boss the Negro women and the Negro women boss the Negro men. This is the trouble and will ever be until we men who desire to get from under this load, arise up like men and swat these evils. When some one tells you there is hope in this country for the American Negro, put him down as a fool or one who is satisfied with inferior conditions. I am still offering a reward for a procession of Mulattoes to march thru the street under an emblem, "Where in my Father?" Step forward you habrids. A Methodist and Baptist preacher were found in the great furniture steal. Why not, is not that part a part of their game to get something for nothing. We are all impressed with Bishop Cleaves. He is the class of ministers the public admires. He has the ability, cleanliness, christian fervor and all the traits that go to make an ecclesiastic of high rank. We dislike that element of Negro ministers who are ever playing to the white grand stand. Right in front of the Broken Idols' door, they took a Negro in Helena last week and cooked him.. Now What have you to say about the grand old commonwealth of Arkansas? Cox, Morris, Connor, Booker and others tell the Negroes to stay in Arkansas; fight it out with heel dust. At the C. M.

Where is the Christianity? The whole thing is moving to be a painful farce. Well, they are certainly off to Mexico. The whites need not think they can put their Negro ministers out to stop the procession. The people have decided if any of these hirelings start their lies about the movement, he is to be taken out and be tarred and feathered. Mighty good decision. Absolutely nothing to what Harding said in Alabama. It was a proclamation of Negro inferiority. It served to stop old Jernagan and a few old plebiters around Washington with their meeting. The young Baps, are still sore because the old bunch allows southern whites too much say in their affair. These little whelps, surely do not know the game.

ANTHONY IN RESOLUTIONS Asks Information Regarding Trial of Men of the 24th Infantry. Hon. Eilisha Scott, is in receipt of the following Resolution, which has been submitted to the House of Representatives, in connection with the members of the 24th Infantry who are now confined at Leavenworth. JOHN H. HARRIS HON. ELISHA SCOTT One of the Attprneys secured by the Kansas Defense Society to bring about the release of the boys of the 21st Infantry. The resolution was referred to the Committee on Military Affairs of which Congressman D. R. Anthony 's chairman. The resolution is as follows: RESOLVED, That the Secretary of War is requested to transmit to the House of Representatives at the earliest possible moment the following information for the Members of the House: Whether the evidence before the court which tried those soldiers of the United States Army who were alleged to have been implicated in the riot at Houston, Texas, on the 23rd day of August, 1917, as a result of which nineteen were hanged, sixty-two sent to the United States penitentiary for life, and five given sentences of fifteen years each, showed the direct participation of all of them in said riot; whether or not it is true that some of these soldiers now under confinement were found guilty merely because they were absent from roll call the evening of the riot; what steps, if any, the War Department has taken or is taking toward the investigation of the justice of the severe penalties inflicted upon these soldiers together with information as to their conduct, discipline, and behavior during the years they have been in confinement; and what steps have been taken by the War Department, in view of the large measure of clemency which has been extended in the cases of other military prisoners, to pardon or extend clemency to the men now undergoing severe punishment for alleged participation in said riot. SEEN AND HEARD IN PASSING The Pan-American Development Association has recently come into existence at Kansas City. The object of this organization is to secure land in the Republic of Mexico for the colonization of such of our group as are able, and wish to take up their residence there. The idea has become prevalent among many of our group, that further progress here in the United States is hopeless, if we cannot attain to a higher citizenship which some aver we can never do, with public opinion apparently against us. This organization aims to estab- 1. lish those of us in Mexico, who are desirous of going there with a view to developing the land upon which they may locate, and to make better citizens of ourselves, and to help make the country better. could go there and do well. There is one thing that we must all admit, and that is there are a few things that we must do successful here before we can make a success somewhere else, and we all know what those "few things" are. The Pan-American Development Association, if its efforts are well directed, can make of itself a veritable agency for good. Wm, H. Dawley, Jr., its president, has associated with Felix Jackson, Ernest D. Lynwood, and other gentlemen of ability. --- From every quarters of the globe comes the proteats from our leaders and writers, of the indignities that are heaped upon us as a race here in this country. Every voice seems to have a remedy for all of our ills; the voice of Marcus Garvey, however, is the loudest, and his scheme the most gligant; whether it be the most practical is not for me to say here. Already Mr. Garvey, and his associates have established a line of steamers, that are plying between this country and foreign ports, which is a commendable step as a matter of business. Every member, or any number of our group, that enters the arena of business, adds just that much more strength to us as a factor in the affairs of the world. Mr. Garvey is to be congratulated to an extent because he has some ideas of business that a great many of us do not possess. But, on the other hand, his dream of Africa as a place composed entirely of people of Negro descent, with him as president-general, may not come for several generations, and if it ever comes, it will take millions of dollars to bring it to pass, as the white man's interests are already pretty well rooted and grounded, even in Africa. However, Mr. Garvey is making preparations for the raising of these millions of dollars to redeem Africa. A short while ago the Second Annual International Convention of the Negro peoples of the world, in session in New York City, "legislated that a capitalization fund for the propagation of the work be raised from among all Negroes under the caption of The African Redemption Fund; that each mmheber of the Negro race be asked to donate five dollars $(5.00) or more, to the fund for the cause of worldwide race adjustment, and the freedom of Africa." Many of our group are contributing the required amount, thereby showing a spirit of patriotism and fidelity to the race, but if Mr. Garvey fails to collect enough money to redeem Africa, then will the cry go up onto the watchman on the walls, "What of the night?" Mr. Garvey bemoans the fact that we have no great government to protect us, when we would resent the things that come up to vex us, and seemingly retard our progress. There are times when we feel that things are not just the way that we would like them, and we criticise the government for its injustice to us as we think, in the improper administration of the law, as it applies to us. But brother, will the conditions in Africa be any better? Mr. Garvey thinks that after all has been said and done, that Africa is the earthly "Garden of Eden," but listen to Solomon Planje, a native African lecturer from Kimberly, South Africa, who says this: "South African natives pay all the taxes which the whites pay and then an additional tax for being a native. This goes to support white schools from which natives are excluded. In the cities natives must walk in the gutters. In only two cities of South Africa are natives allowed to ride on street cars, and then not in the cars, but are forced to ride on top of cars; natives are not allowed to own property of any description. Daughters have to pay for the privilege of living with their families, and wives are oiled the right to live with their husbands in the cities, and must pay to do so in the native huts." Such was the information given out by Mr. Plaaje, at Chicago a few weeks ago in a lecture delivered at the Grace Presbyterian church. I hope to see the time when those of our group, who desire, may be able to go wherever they will, and come back when they wish. But when we get the facts in hand, brother, do we really know of a better country, with a better government? God would not have planted us here if He had not intended that we should abide here; every day He is giving us opportunities, so let us rise to meet them. One of our greatest hindrances lies in the fact that so many among us want to be leaders and dictators, to be good fellows with everybody, to stay down with the "crowd." The thought comes to me here that more of our group must work to rise above the "crowd," in order that more of us may have more elbow room, because we cannot accomplish in a substantial way where we are crowded too much. Let us get up where we can have elbow room sufficient to swing our axe, that strokes may count for something. In the death of W. Allison Sweeney, a few days ago, at Chicago, our group loses the services of one that had for many years filled a wide circle of usefulness in the activities of our people. Mr. Sweeney was 51 years old at the time of his death. During the early years of his life, he was a close friend and associate of the late Frederick Douglass. Mr. Sweeney had spent the greater part of his life in the newspaper field, where he was beat known; he was the first editor of the Indianapolis Freeman, when Edward E. Cooper founded that journal. When Mr. Cooper left the Freeman and Geo. L. Knox assumed control, Mr. Sweeney continued for many years as its editor. While Mr. Sweeney's birth dated back before the Civil war, he could not have been said to be a journalist of the old school, as he lived in that atmosphere that kept him abreast of the current events of the world, and the rapid development of the things worth while. Up to the time the lamp of life went out, Mr. Sweeney, with his great storhouse of thought, and his high ambition for the best interests of the race was still using his pen to raise the general status of our group. For the past ten years he had been connected with the Chicago Defender's editorial staff. Mr. Sweeney had seen the race press grow from its small beginning to its present capacity. He was editor also of a "History of the American Negro in the Great World War." A great assembly of human machinery has been stilled; W. Allison Sweeney was a man of great thought, a man that always knew where to lead; other men as useful as he may come upon the scene, but none whose talent and effort may be expended over such a wide field of usefulness. We shall greatly miss him. DENNIS S. THOMPSON. Bethel, Kan. GEORGE R. SMITH COLLEGE C. A. Mebane, Reporter. It is the aim of the association to establish every conceivable means of help to its members, in the way of assistance in the development of the districts in which they shall colonize. This plan may be a good one if put to work; I hope to see the time come when we shall be able to go out, and come an, just the same as other people. Whatever pur present status here in the United States, I believe it will rest wholly with us, as to what our future condition is to be, whether we be here or in other climes. Mexico is a country which offers great advantages; its natural resources are unlimited, and while a great many of our people are already there, it is possible that many others President R. B.

He states that he and several other young men were out hunting in a touring car with the top down. As they were driving along with Peg Parker at his side, making about 30 miles an hour, Peg looked up and saw a hadt flying over the car. He reached and got his gun, took aim and shot the hawk, which fell in the rear seat of the car and the car had never quit running. Peg is some marksman. FOR HOME NEWS—READ THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER!
