THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. BISHOP W. T. VERNON IN SOUTH, AFRICA One of Roosevelt's Men THE LIFE OF JOHN W. HARRIS Bishop W. T. Vernon, A.M., DD, L L.D, head of the African Methodist Church, is visiting Johannesburg, and his visit has occasioned considerable interest amongst the native congregations on the Reef. Bishop Vernon has recently come to South Africa, and the African Methodist Episcopal church, over which he presides, is the largest strictly native church operating in South Africa. He has had rather a unique history in that he has occupied the highest office which any black man has held under the United States Government. Under President Hooverly, and again under President Taft, he held the post of Registrar of the Treasury, with great credit to himself and his race. He has been well received by the native church of which he is the head. He is reported to be a man of broad vision, and believes wholeheartedly in cooperation with the white people as the salvation of the black. An address which he gave last night to a gathering of educated native men was, naturally enough, 2017.12.15 listened to with great attention. In it, one of his remarks the Bishop of the American Negro had never ceased to think of Mason, his ancestor, he of the African, his brother, the Lord of America, who he was, he was born to the land of or perhaps for the land of his development. Displaced indian and its progress on the part of certain elements, those had always been a group that grew for the rights of man. There had always insisted that as a human being, one of God's creation, the Negro should have the right to do and by his best. In return he had given the government loyalty in peace and war. Shouldering the Burden. In every crisis in the history of the American Republic, the Negro had fought as a soldier. In the Revolutionary War in which America gainl her independence as a nation, in the war of 1812, the war with Mexico, the great Civil War from 1861-1865 in which he helped to gain his freedom, in the Spanish-American War, and finally in the recent world war in which four hundred thousand American Negro troops fought on the battlefields of France. This black American proved his bravery in the shock of battle and demonstrated that his colour had nothing to do with his devotion to duty, his courage or his real for the cause of his beloved country and the cause of freedom throughout the world. In peace he had given the same reality to America. By nobriety, frugality, upright living and all that went to make a worthy citizen or subject he had become a valued and valuable factor in the life of the nation. Eagerness for Education. . . . Today he paid taxes on one million farms and had amassed billions of pounds in realty holdings, banks, business houses, colleges and universities, which he operated and controlled. His essexers to educate his children had meant that hundreds of thousands of these were in daily attendance in public schools and were pursuing the course of study leading to degrees from the best universities in the land. There is ever the dominant thought in the minds of the American citizen, regardless of col- --- NON IN SOUTH, AFRICA sevelt's Men our that money spent for schools, churches and helpful institutions was a better investment than money spent for goals, prisons and the punishment of criminals. The best methods of securing harmony between the races were sought after by every patriotic citizen. The American Negro was a beneficiary of this spirit, and was determined to rise to the highest as a Negro. He preferred to demonstrate his racial work in a manner definite and distinct. He strove for the solidarity of his race. He did not seek to be a white man. He was not ashamed of his race. He only asked to have a similar opportunity as other men, as his education, character and accomplishments morticed. Today easily 14 million of these people are prosperous, ambitious, happy progressive citizens treading every walk of life. As great lawyers, learned physicians, and surgeons, accomplished scholars they were wedded for ever to the soil merica, and under no conditions did they think of leaving the land they lot d they loved Vitally Interested in Africa. That did not mean that they were still still clusted in their black bread in Africa. They were low on the wrest and test of them if they could best help their African bread by demonstrating the own life by the po shall it and raise events of the black man. They may were willing and anxious to join in all missionary and altruistic work projects that aimed at a possible and constructive uplift of their bread in Africa. "They weep when you weep, they themselves bone of your bone and flesh of your flesh." "For this I know they will be pardoned," continued the bishop, "as in thus doing they are only obeying the laws of nature, and God is nature's author. They feel that by reason, cooperation, and the making of friends rather than by rash and militant statements can they best aid you. Our purpose is to join with you in the education and Christianity of our brethren who are still in the darkness. Ecurring Harmony. "We feel that until the last heathen or uncivilized man is brought in touch with Christ is started in the highway of education and all the resultant benefits of these factors, our work is incomplete. The sensible American Negro does not for a moment think of helping you other than in a way that will secure harmony and definite benefits. We feel that you educated natives, with us, should not coraider our task complete until we have helped upward and forward every black man in South Africa. You can do your part by being absolutely true to the backward element, never taking advantage of his creedulity and ignorance for personal gain, and by never feeling yourself above him because you have been more favored than he. "If fate and divine providence have made your lot more fortunate than his, you owe it to him to be all the more sympathetic, considerate, and patient with him! You are your brother's keeper. No man of any any colour can escape this responsibility. "God is not mocked; whatsoever a man soweth that shall he also reap." TOPSKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 9, 1921 Relation with Europeans. "I urge upon you that we all, wherever possible, cultivate friendly relations with the Europeans. There are many here who recognise your disabilities and are anxious to bring about better conditions for our people. But these to you with hooks of steel, and wherever possible, gain more such as these." "The African Methodist Episcopal church, of which I have the honor to be the head in South Africa, is an organization of more than 100 years in growth and recognition. Today we have communicants in the United States, Canada, Mexico, South America, the West Indies, West Africa. These number more than one million. Our universities, colleges and publishing houses are known throughout America. We are loyal to any flag and all Governments under which we operate." "We seek here only to be allowed to do our best for our brethren in black. We desire the co-operation, sympathy and confidence of all the people in South Africa. At no time in the ranks of our ministry will we advocate or countenance disloyalty to the government of the Union of South America. At the same time we pray to be allowed to do all we can to elevate and make real men of the people related to us by ties of race and blood." From THE STAR, Johannesburg. MUSKOGEE, OKLA. By J. E. Mason. It looks like another Democratic administration, if this hapless, the reevaluation of the Southern Negro will be resumed. Those Negroes who remain in America the next eight years will find it impossible for them to leave for Africa, Mexico or any foreign country. The vicious Owen Bill, which the Supreme Court will be denied to declare any law Congress make unconstitutional" was a death blow at the 14th and 15th amendments. This bill was introduced by our own Senator Robert L. Owen of this state. If the Negroes of America really knew what is on for him, he would not stow until he had gotten out America's soil. The program is to subdue, starve, enslave, crush and if necessary, annihilate the race. If the report is true that the U. U. U. is bankrupt, then the officers of the order should make it known and not continue a running dental. There are several persons here who have failed to get their claims, as the result of the death of their benefactors. To continue holding out a fatal promise to a people in the face of reverse condition is criminal, treason, actua xCudTy (, who zffffll zffffll and a brutal net of leadership We hope the Negroes will rise to the dignity of not allowing ever trump peddler enter, his have Whether it is insurance, goo good clothing drugs homespaces, or what not Make the home sacred from the outciting of other races who know is an enemy to the race Well we have praised, prailed petitioned; we have grieved, grief and grumbed; we have fought, blood and died We have denote all we had to perpetuate this government and yet, we are denied the rudiments of citizenship. What more can a poor race do? Move! Move! If I get out of the country Mexico is the only feasible country which we can enter. It has the soil, climate, environments that will make us what we want. It is the modern Canaan for the American Egyptians. The day of miracles is over. It takes a fool to think he can, thru prayers, make a slave owner treat his slave on equa terms. There is no such place any where in history Bible or profanity. The more we study our conditions the worse we feel about it. We can now understand why so much stress is placed upon the Negroes going to church and keep singing and gazing up to Heaven. Just keep them happy and they will forget their real condition. The ignorant Negro and the Pig are the only animals which are satisfied with a full stomach. The South has found it much cheaper to pay Negro preachers to keep the Negro excited about his religion and dying, than to have him ever complaining about the ballot, 'jim-crowism' and many other sundry evils. Select just such quotation out of the Bible that will make the Negro feel he is lucky to be living and must not want too much on these mundane shores. If Harding means business, let him make a recess appointment for Link Johnson. The Negro is about to be sacrificed for the women vote. In fact, we are now without a party. Just around here pretending that we are satisfied. Telling ourselves a lie. SALINA, KANSAS St. John Baptist church has taken on new life both spiritually and financially in the few months the Rev. S.

Madame Grace CLOSSETS BANDEAUX FOR SECRETARY OF STATE To The Republican Voters of Kansas: I will be a Republican candidate for Secretary of State at the primary election next August. I am making this announcement now that my friends and the Republican voters off Kansas may know that my name will be on the ballot, and to assure support. I have lived in Kansas more than forty years. Prior to my service as Assistant Secretary of State, my life has been devoted to newspaper work in the capacity of publisher, editor, reporter, special writer and correspondent for many of the big dailies of the country. I hope the service thus rendered in my small way, in always standing up for Kansas and her people, has been beneficial. If I am nominated and elected Secretary of State, the same economy in the expenditure of public funds instituted by my worthy predecessors will be carried out. I will cut to the bone to save every dollar possible. I promise an honest and faithful administration of the office, and the same efficiency and painstaking courtesy in serving the people of Kansas. The State of Kansas, thru Mr. Pettjohn's appointment, pays me a salary to have charge of certain detail work as Assistant Secretary of State. I do not intend to leave my desk and travel over the state hunting for votes. The people of Kansas know me, or they may know of me thru acquaintances and friends in every county. I believe it is the duty of a public official to stay on the job and render efficient service for the money he receives as salary. I think the people of Kansas are looking for that kind of public officials, and I am willing to take my chances with the voters as a candidate for Secretary of State on the issue of staying on the job and earning my salary. If I am nominated and elected Secretary of State, my Assistant Secretary will be chosen from the ranks of the young men of Kansas who quit their jobs, left their homes and families and went to France to fight for their country.
