THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. OKLAHOMANS SHOULD REBEL AGAINST THE WHITE GUARDIANS OF THEIR WEALTH. The Laws are Un-American and Unjust Immediate Action in matter Imperative To Establish Race Solidarity. We have just returned from a two week trip thru the southern part of Kansas and a part of Oklahoma, having stopped at the following places: Olathe, Osawatomie, Paola, Garnett, Coffeyville, Kansas; Lenapah, Nowata, Claremore, Muskogee, Fort Gibson, Vlan, Mitch, Red Bird, Tulsa, Okmulgee, Welegeta, Boley, Holdenville, Wewoka, Boynton and Wagoner. We found the depression in business most everywhere we visited. The people in Kansas suffer from depression in price of corn, wheat and cattle and no market for their products. While in the state of Oklahoma in the cotton districts, the boll weevil destroyed the crop this season. The farmers raised considerable corn and hogs and cattle, which are tiding them over partly. Gnerereally speaking the two races are getting on fairly well, and the colored people are making rapid progress thru out the state, in spite of the draw-backs and obstacles placed against them through black laws, instituted by the prejudiced white men who are sent to the legislature for one specific purpose, and that is to make laws to hinder the progress of the colored race in that state. For instance, the school laws: they are unjust and read as though they were made by a set of bandits. The colored tax payers in towns and large cities are assessed to assist in the erection of large colleges, high schools and to equip them entirely for whites. While at the same time the colored schools in the same cities are supported from the taxes in the rural districts, of which every one knows that the farmers will not stand to be taxed to any great extent for school purposes. In fact, for any purpose that tends to confiscate his land. Therefore the colored schools in the city suffer not only from the lack of, and poor pav for the teachers. The buildings as well, are obscurely and poorly equipped and managed. The state of Oklahoma has what is known as a "majority-minority school law" which operates in the rural districts. This is carried on in such a manner that the colored people who do not exercise the right of franchise, from the fact that they are not registered, they are voted out in some of these school elections, and while they are in the majority, their votes will be in the minority. This same method is also employed in the school census, which is in charge of the same prejudiced white man. These laws are unconstitutional, urjust, un-christian and of such evil action and belong to the devil and his host. This law should be tested in the United States Courts. We think the 14th and 15th amendments would apply to this matter. The colored people own millions of dollars of wealth in this state and are entitled to all the rights, benefits and consideration as any other citizen. They ask no more nor should accept any lees. Some organized effort will be put on foot soon to test out these school laws and other objectionable laws not on the books of that state. Oklahoma has some brave and courageous colored people who are going to fight out this proposition if it takes all year. This was the expression of the late General Grant, who was one of the best friends the colored people ever had. If the colored citizens in general will take on this slogan, act accordingly, they will not lose. All we need is man with good judgment, who will act wisely without the blare of trumpets and the firing of cannons. Another thing to be tested in the state of Oklahoma is the matter of appointing white guardians over the property and interests of colored citizens. While the white man expresses such an extreme hate for the colored race, he never refuses when one becomes of age and in possession of valuable property, some 'jim crow' judge goes in cahouts with some designing white man and has himself appointed guardian and takes possession of valuable properties and actually kidnaps the individual before they become of age and has them sign their rights over to him. This is abominable and outrageous. If the colored people were allowed to control these millions of dollars of wealth, which is owned by their own race, we could build, banks, railroads, factories, warehouses and establish a suitable commercial standing as a race. On the other hand these millions of dollars of wealth, owned by these colored people are placed in the hands of white guardians who use same in the erection of large buildings in St. Louis, Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Okmulgee, Tulsa, and other vantage points of the country. You scarcely can go into any city mentioned unless you see some evidence of this colored wealth. If the white man wants to be fair and stand up to the doctrine he preaches, that the colored race is undeniably inferior and no good, incapable of self-government or of handling his own affairs, they would relinguish any idea or thought of taking charge of all this vast wealth and turn it over to the colored people and let them waste it; and the quicker they run thru it, the sooner will he get the wealth. However, they know well that if the colored people are permitted to hande the property with colored guardians, the the colored man would out-distance him in a very short while. They realize that it is he vowed determination and wish of the colored race to own property, to build factories, plants, etc. In fact, he fully realizes that the black man is determined to take their place in the commercial and business world, irreardless of the concerted efforts of the American white, who feels the sting of competition on the part of the American Negro. He also is cognizant of the high degree of efficiency which is being attained by the colored race, which is spreading daily and which was given an impetus during the war to the extent that he was given places in the plants, offices and business world, heretofore unheard of. And in all these new fields he has made good. Sarah Rector Case A Concrete Example. The following clipping from the MUSKOGEE PHOENIX, shows the drastic measures being taken to take charge of the holdings of Miss Sarah Rector, a native of the state of Oklahoma. Miss Rector is now living in Kansas City, Mo, with her parents and has employed as her ttorney, Hon. C. H. Calloway, one of the leading attorneys in this section and a man well versed in law, who is contesting every inch of the ground to see that his client is fully protected as to her rights and interests. The writer of the article, however, seems to be very solicitus about, how and for what she spends her money, seemingly playing to that class of whites who do the kidnapping just about the time their wards become of age. The clipping is ap follows: "Sarah Rector, Oklahoma's richest Creek freedman will not have a guardian for a month or so at least in spite of the fact that two guardian positions filed within the last TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 16, 1921 month were set for hearing this morning. Since Judge Guy F. Nelson in the district court yesterday reversed the findings of Judge Enloe V. Vernor on a similar case he is going to see that every effort is made to have this alleged incompetent personally in court before he hears a case for the appointment of a guardian. According to information brought to the court this morning Sarah is in Kansas City ill with pneumonia or a threatened attack of the disease. Under the circumstances Judge Vernor refused to hear the petition and continued it until December 19, when he hopes she may be able to appear personally in court. In setting the future date Judge Vernor overruled a motion to quash the hearing in his court which alleged want of jurisdiction. Of the two petitions of the appointment of guardianships, one was filed November 11 by her Uncle, Fred Rector, alleging that she is dissipating her fortune and asking that G. C. Parker, of Muskogee be appointed as guardian. The other was filed November 14 by John Colling asking that Monte Sampson be appointed guardian for the girl, alleging that she is conveying her property to others and that she is in danger of losing it. "I want to get her here, and I'll go mighty strong to do it," said Judge Vernor. He said he did not want the case to drag on either. Both petitions have been consolidated and will be heard together. worth million and half "There'll probably be a bunch more to listen to before a week," said one of Sarah's attorneys. Sarah Rector's wealth is estimated by her attorneys to be $1,500,000 of which $500,000 is in Oklahoma and $1,000,000 mostly in Kansas. She came of age, March 4, 1920. Being only 18 years old F. J. Porter and M. G. Young were appointed voluntary trustees until she learned to handle her affairs. Now it is alleged that she is squandering her wealth. On the other hand her attorneys say her holdings are growing constantly and that she is perfectly able to take care of herself. In addition to the firm of Disney and Wheeler in Muskogee, C. H. Calloway, of Kansas City., is counsel for the girl. What Sarah Owns. Of her wealth in Oklahoma she owns rich royalty holdings in the Cushing pool in addition to 2,700 acres of rich bottom land in Muskogee and Wagoner counties. She has about $75,000 worth of property in Muskogee. In Kansas City she has $200,000 in 8 per cent mortgages, $100,000 in Liberty bonds, $200,000 in city property and $500,000 in other diversified holdings according to her attorneys. In the hearing to be taken up December 19, the question, of dealing with the petitions in her absence from the state and the question of the righ to issue an attachment or of serving it outside of the state will have to be settled—and that question is puzzling Judge Vernor as well as every other person interested in the case. --- There are scores of competent colored men and women in that state to act in the capacity of guardian in these cases and this action should be considered. If the loud mouth, blantant, Colored politicians in the north and east would go into Oklahoma and take hold of matters, much good could be accomplished for the race, as well as for themselves, especially that class who could command some money and influence from eastern people and would know how and what procedure to take in the matter. The 'JinkCrow' laws within the state are over the Federal law and has been declared constitutional, and cannot be overthrown, according to the decision of the highest court in the land, which decrees that the state has a constitutional right to enact segregation laws. While this is not true, we are compelled to bow to the decision of the highest court in the land, whether it is right or not. But we do say that the Interstate Commerce laws protect the colored people as well as the whites and no railroad or anyone in authority can legally elect a passenger from a train or from a coach or compel them to go into an inferior coach or accept any inferior service in favor of another when that same train is enroute thru the state where such 'jim-crow' law exists. No passenger can be disturbed under that contract! This law will soon be tested in the United States Court and then the Inter state 'jim-crow' proposition will be at an end. The state of Maryland passed such 'jim-crow' laws and the court knocked it out on the Inter state proposition. What we need is courageous fighters.

M BAYS CHURCH WILL FURNISH MAJORITY OF RACE LEADERS Woodson's History of Negro Church Makes Startling Disclosures. CHANUTE, I Several young men oared to Parsons Fridness the football gangs and Fort Scott Mrs. Jas. Slaugh WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 15. For years to come the church will furnish the majority of leaders of the Negro Race is the belief expressed by Dr. Carter G. Woodson in a new book just published entitled, "The History of the Negro Church." While the author sees in the record of the church reasons for hope that the institution will continue to figure in the life of the Negro as a conspicuous factor, yet he does not hesitate to consider the faults and shortcomings of the institution. The startling feature of the book is the mass of valuable information generally unknown to the public. Although not a churchman himself, Dr. Woodson has made the Negro denominations acquainted with themselves. The work contains so many facts culled from rare sources that it compels the attention of everyone intelligently interested in the history of the race. The book is well illustrated and is undoubtedly the History of the Negro Church for which the public has long been waiting. There have been produced many volumes in this same field, but none like this work. Without denominational bias it treats in a gripping manner the strivings of the christian Negroes after an ideal, which they have for centuries endeavored to attain by the development of their church. There is an interesting panorama of the coming of the missionaries, the conversion of the slaves, the rise of the Negro preacher, the independent church movement, the untoward condition of the neglected bondmen, the role played by the Negro churchman in freedom and what the church is doing today. On the whole, this work actually establishes the claims of Dr. Woodson as an authority in a new field. His previous works "The Education of the Negro Pror to 1861," "A Century of Negro Migration" and his work as Editor of the "Journal of Negro History" have been widely read by both white and colored people who have been interested in the history and development of the Negro Race. . annot fight without having a little support for his paper and we guarantee that if the people put the money into the paper they will get it back thru efforts of ours in contesting for and protecting the rights of the people. We are not trying to make any money off the race, but just contending for their legal rights As soon as we can educate the average colored man to the point of reading our paper and pay for it, the sooner will he receive the returns in efforts for his rights and the quicker will the race be on the road to success. ```markdown ``` CHANUTE.

MASON "For the pastors are brutish and have not sought the Lord; therefore they shall not prosper, and their flocks shall be scattered." Jer. 10:21. The American Negro is the Onesimus, the white man is the Phlemon, who will be the Pau in this great tribulation. Our ministers are working over time for their salaries, the hardiness of times does not lessen their greed. The hungry, ignorant, barefoot Negro must bring in the money just the same. The Negro ministry has adopted the plan of making the Negroes believe that the Negroes must pay him as what they have belongs to the Lord. It is absolutely a campaign of terror, coercion, trepidation and taking money from Negroes under a religious duress. Muskogee could do well wit only two churches. It would unite the Negroes and enable us to build factories, schools, hospitals and develop a spirit of independence. Everybody has found out that the Negro is a universal "fool" about church buildings, meetings and denominations. He is not so much a christian as he is a fanatic. For this reason, the whites are using the church to keep him enslaved. Ability will tell. The Morrison Sanitarium at Taft, though located in a non progressive community, is filled with patients from all parts of the country. All Negroes should belong to one denomination. With this accomplished, the twenty million American Negroes would destroy all class laws; snatching, mobbing and get treatment as other races in this country. There is but one question, a genuine Christianity and the unity of the American Negro. Either is impossible so long as we are a victim of the whiteman's church system. Living in shacks, buying automobiles, fine churches, making a farce of Christianity is not only a sin, but criminal. Read Isa. 56:10. The ministers told the people last Sunday that if they did not give them some of their money the Lord would take the good jobs from them. The washwomen hustled out the coin. By all means keep the Negroes happy, singing, abouting and squabbling about his creed. By no doing, we are relieved from the wering race problem. So sayeth Judge Long of Mississippi. Judge Brewer spent last week in Oklahoma City where he had a case before the state Supreme Court. Mr. Chauncey M. Davis has opened a mercantile business. Mr. Mitchell Jackson has been appointed sole manager and receiver of the Dreamland Theatre. Frank Brown has been appointed agent for the North Carolina Mutual Insurance company here.

Never in the history of this country, has such a social predilection become so eminent. "Tell a lie" seems to be the slogan.

We do not expect anything from the War department, as the Secretary only reviews the Court martial proceedings and gives it out as his opinion that the soldiers were fairly dealt with, of which he knows is not true, but he has to stand in with the officers of the army and especially the Court which tried these men for fear they might lower their dignity and he shown up as men who try these cases with prejudice and malice; no doubt remains in our minds but what this was the case. It probably cannot be proven but we do know that the case was not reviewed.

THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER YOUR HOME PAPER 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 dallies 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. Pettijohn'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 voter 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.

Brockett Street, Sherman, Texas Mr. John Mitchell, the candidate for governor on the Negro ticket, polled 30,000 votes in Virginia the other day. Good start for a young race just getting into the running. What we need now is to acquire the habit of "running for office." Some day the other race might take a nap and we might reach the goal ahead of him. Remember the old fable of the Tortoise and the Hare. A new and rather unique method of raising church funds has been introduced by the various churches of this city. That is the serving of dinners at noonday. There is nothing unusual about that, you say Indeed so. A few days ago members of the office force were approached by ladies of a church organization and asked to purchase tickets for the dinner and volunteered to send the dinner to the office on the stated day. On this certain day, a young lady stepped out of a yellow truck operated by a local firm and brought into the office three boxes of lunch, nicely packed with an excellent and sufficient meal, warm and nice. Our lunch was only three of the hundreds which had been delivered on that day with the Payne service. Can you beat it? The Colored Department of the Y. M. C. A. gave an entertainment the other night and a good one too. A number of features were put on which were not common. The athletic stunts by the white department were good. A monologue by Chas. Williams, was clever. He is by nature, a comedian. The Chalk Talk by Mr. Watson was both interesting and entertaining. Our suggestion on occasions of this kind is that the audience to appreciate such affairs, and to help the performer to do his or her best, should get as close to the stage as possible Mr. Aaron Green, the executive secretary of this department deserves unstinted credit for this excellent entertainment. The work should be encouraged by every citizen of the community. With the proper cooperation of our people, and one great BIG effort by all of us, a new building and a salaried secretarial staff could be brought to pass.
