MEMBER OF 24TH INFANTRY CITES INHUMAN TREATMENT OF OFFICERS Officer Puts Chain About Neck of So! dier and Leads him to Guard House on Horse Back. Plaindealer informs War Dept. I wish you would put this in your paper for the benefit of the 24th Industry, so that the colored race can see how we are mistreated here on the border of New Mexico. And what we have to stand from southern officers, who look upon us as slaves and they as our masters. This statement I make is true and I have be regiment as my proof. Captain Homer Mason of South Carolina, who has the service company and is a hater of the colored race is as cruel as old Williams, of Georgia. Several months ago, he chained a man to a four mule rolling kitchen all night, simply because he went to town against orders. This man had a chain around his waist and was locked with a Yale lock. This poor soldier had to sleep on the ground all night while this brute posing as an officer went to old Mexico, just across the line and got drunk. Just a few weeks back, he put a rope around a soldiers neck and then got on his horse and led his man to the guardhouse. Altho this man was in the wrong, all that the officer had to do was to order him taken to the guard house and his order would have been carried out by some one. We have been on the border longer than any other regiment in the army and we drill all the year round. We went to Deming, N. M. Several years ago and worked like frogs cleaning up the old camp where white soldiers had been. Altho we know that the soldiers life is rough and strewn with stones, ours is nothing more than cruelty on the part of the Southern officers who are forced over us and who handle us slaves. The enlisted men of the 24th Infantry are most ragged men in the army and although they have a clothing allowance, it seems that the officers of the regiment do not want us to look like a soldier. By this you can see why this regiment needs to be investigated by some of our leading colored men, because if there was ever soldiers getting injustice, it is the 24th Infantry. There are good and bad men amongst us all and in all regl ments, but we are slaves here in the town and with no one to plead our cause. Our officers are changed very often and we get green horns so do not know their drill, and they come here and drill us all the far around so that they can learn for themselves. Men are deserting this regiment very often on the account of the treatment received. Suppose reports are going every path to Washington that the regiments is getting along all right, and the men are doing fine, but this is a great mistake, which every old ladder in the regiment will be glad tell if he has a chance. Men are simply going crazy here in this and desert with no place to go and nothing to see but our white masters, who are ever ready to curse us out like dogs, or order us in camp under arrest for the least little thing, and some times try us and take our money. This hasn't just started, but has been going on for years. Last pear the regiment ever had any organized ball team all, as they were too busy working to play ball and before then he had always had a good ball team. It is true that if we don't like here we can go out of the service, but while we are here we deserve the time treatment as all other soldiers. If this letter does not have the effect that we intend for it to save we are going to take the mat- Sir. Nick Chiles, Topeka, Kansas. ter up with Washington, then the whole world will know that the 24th Infantry is enlisted slaves of the government. Mr. Chiles, please make several copies of this and send to the other papers that hold out for the soldiers like your paper does, and especially be sure and send to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. From a soldier who is interested in the betterment of his regiment. If I wasn't in the regiment, I would sign my name. EDITOR CHILES WRITES SECRET TARY OF WAR OF CONDITION OF ARMY AFFAIRS. Hon. J. W. WEEKS, Secretary of War Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: Inclosed you will find a copy of a letter from a soldier of the 24th U. S. Infantry, located at Camp Furlong. Columbus, New Mexico. If the contents of this letter be true, and we have no right to doubt it, then we believe it is the duty of the War Department to investigate these charges and if they be true, these officers should be discharged from the army. This is not the first time we have heard complaints of this kind and it seems to be the prevailing opinion that it is the crystalized rule among southern army officers to mistreat colored soldiers. While it may be the intention of the War Department to see to it that all enlisted men in the service of the government should be the equal bas's when it comes to fair treatment. Of course every man is respected and treated according to the position that he holds. But, it is not expected of him to mistreat or cause severe punishment to anyone holding a subordinate position, because that man may be of different race or nationality. It seems to us that the army is predominated over by southern officers, who carry their southern prejudices in every line of duty, in order to cast reflection and malice, as well as humiliation to colored men with whom they happen to come in contact, and especially those in the service. This is done to make them feel that the white man is superior and the colored man, inferior. Notwithstanding, however, their intelligence, loyalty and fidelity shown by them, he would be reminded that he is a colored man just the same. We do not wish to bring politics into these matters, but it was the immortal American to start the republican party into the footsteps of the Holy Man of Nazareth. Since then, the high moral class of the civilized American citizen and all the other countries have looked upon the Republican party, as the saviour of the people. All under this administration, which, you represent, expect you to treat all those under your command in a high christian spirit. This never was expected of the Democratic party and they have never accepted the colored man as an 'American citizen' now have they ever conceded him the right of freedom of speech or vote, nor the enjoyment of the equality of law with other races. So it involves upon you as Secretary of War to give this complaint thorough and searching investigation. I think it would be no more than right that some worthy, honest, upright colored man should be authorized by your department to make this investigation and take up the matter at all military posts where colored soldiers are stationed. There TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 6, 1922 are so few white men who will make a fair and impartial report when it comes to a matter of this kind, when southern chivalry is called in question, bearing on the honor and integrity between a colored man and a "Southern white gentleman." We cannot understand why Southern men dominate the army and navy, unless it is from shiffleness and an easy road to shirk responsibility and his duties. This seems to be the strong fort of the average southern white man. We are sorry we have used this kind of language and expressions, but we do no malice to anyone, but just call your attention to facts which are existing in the army and to which, we hope, you will put a stop. I am also calling the attention of the president, and the chairman of military affairs in the House and Senate. I presume that you are aware of the fact that there has not been a colored man admitted to West Point or any naval academy in the past forty years. The reason for this is that southern men predominate in these institutions. Senators, Congressmen and presidents, have been loathe to recommend colored men these schools from the fact that they are mistreated. This is conclusive evidence that the colored man does not receive fair treatment from the army or from the navy. He has never been admitted in the marine service from the fact that he is only admitted as a common seaman in the navy. This department, of which you have the honor of being the secretary, has exiled and banished from American soil. Colonel Chas. Young, who was with the 9th Cavalry for a number of years. He came out of West Point with honors and through southern sentiment, and the War Department, was sent to Liberia, and thru hokus-pokus' or some trick, he was prevented from being promoted to higher ranks in the army. All on the account of southern sentiment predominant in the army. If justice were done him, he would now be in the United States, high up in the council of the American army You, as secretary of War, a man from Massachusetts and a member of the Republican party, should use your good offices in seeing to it that the bravest race and the best fighters that ever faced an enemy should be given at least one half fair treatment. The colored people have just cause to complain, when such conditions are allowed to exist and have existed for years without any attempt to stop it As editor of the Topeka Plaindealer, and President of the Kansas Defense Society, and a man strong for the race, I appeal to you in the name of the Great Jehovah, for fair treatment to these soldiers who are trying to give the government the best they have in their hearts and souls and bodies, to make the army one of the greatest in the world. There are now confined in the Federal Prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, colored soldiers of the 24th Infantry, who defended themselves against outrages perpetrated upon them by southern white men who hate colored people and who aid these southern officers who were in charge of this infantry at Houston, and today, this riot would not have occurred and these soldiers would not be in prison, had it not been for those officers who are holding minor positions and who hobnob and socialize with the southern Negrohaters and allow these Negroes to be abused and taunted on the streets of Houston, without giving them protection. Men like Eugene Debs, who went up and down the highways and hedges, opposing the government and asking and persuading men not to join the army, are liberated and allowed to go free, and yet these poor boys who are now confined, are kept in prison for defending themselves in the riot. We hope that fair play and fair treatment will be accorded every man in the army and in the nation, by this great Republican party now in power at Washington. We ask no favor because we are colored, all we ask is that right prevail. Very lively yours, Editor, Nopaka Plaindealer. Plaindealer Embarks on It's Twenty-fourth Year in the Field of Racial Journalism THE FEDERAL NATIONAL HISTORY MUSEUM This issue of the paper marks the entrance upon the 24th year of the existence of the Plaindealer, during which time the postoffice department has accepted and malled out 52 issues each year during all these years. The at times we have been unavoidably delayed, we have sent the paper out and given our customers the value of their money. The stand of the paper goes without saying. For twenty three years the Editor and Founder of the Plaindealer has at all times been in the fore ground and ready at a moment's notice to take up the gauntlet in defense of the American Black man. With the same regard for the high- THE NEW YORKER er-ups as for those down below, he has braved the storm, survived the scorn and criticism of race and foo ard challenged the rights and privileges inherited by right of sacrifice and title. At times the struggle has been arduous and nerve racking and at times unappreciated, but he has never grown tired or given up the fight. That the paper is existing today, is only evidence of the many ups and downs thru which we have undergone. We have given unstintedly of our time and efforts in the securing of the common rights which which have been in jeopardy from time to time in city, state, county and federal government, without regard to whom we had to appeal and approach. From all parts of this continent we have heard the cry of help, and vallantly have we labored to act as succor. From the Southland, do they call us to heed the rank injustices of the lance hating whites. The cry comes from those in the ranks of the church, trying of the autocratic rule of those high- CHAS, ANDERSON BANKING CO CLOSES ITS DOORS AFTER RUSH OF HOLIDAYS Jacksonville, Fla., Jan. 2 -The banking institution of Chas, H. Anderson, one of the leading racial institutions in the South closed its doors here last week after suffering the heavy demands of its depositors for the holiday season. This bank was one of the safest and oldest er-up. In all these we turn the light of publicity upon saint and sinner alike. But in this struggle we have not had the whole-hearted moral and financial support that has been justly due us. Our books show several hundreds of dollars due us by some of our race whom we have befriended. To these we yet have the good faith and belief that some day they will pay up their subscription. The business of publishing a newspaper is by no means an easy job, and especially for a Colored man. Last year the white paper upon which the Plaindealer was printed cost us over $1200. We placed in THE FEDERAL NATIONAL HISTORY MUSEUM the U S Post office during the past twelve months over 13,000 pounds of milk, for which we paid in the neighborhood of $400 for mailing the paper to 42 states and possessions of the United States, as well as Africa and other foreign countries. We also takes this occasion to thank our many friends and subscribers for their support and wish for you a far greater prosperity in the coming year than you have ever before experienced. Our correspondents thru out the country have kept us posted and informed of the progress of the race. We thank them also for their good work. We are anxious to put into our many readers hands a larger and better paper in the near future. We ask your assistance in doing this. Pay up your back subscriptions. We have traveled over the states of Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma week in and week out, and have spent several hundreds of dollars railroad fare looking out for the interests of the race. Pay up and help us to do a greater work during the coming year, in the state and owing to the close financial margins in the money market and the bulk of paper on hand was forced to close its doors. Mr. Anderson had plans under way for the establishment of a similar bank in the heart of New York's black belt. In Harlem, where he had already purchased the corner of Lenox avenue and 133th street! This corner is now occupied by a restaurant. PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR Inter State Literary Association Holds Session The 31st Annual session of the Inter State Literary Association of Kansas and the West was held in this city last week. A number of delegates were present and many interesting papers and subjects were had. Among those present were the three leading educators of this section, President Clement Richardson, of Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo., President R. H. Hayes, of George R. Smith College at Sedalia, Mo., and Principal George R. Bridgeforth. There gentlemen were active in the discussion of all matters affecting the educational status of the race. Much-good was had by their presence. Mrs. Myrtle Todd Cook, was perfectly at home to the presiding officer and is a charming, dignified lady and delivered one of the sweet addresses ever heard in this section of the country. Mr. J, H. Hare, the chairman of the Executive committee was on hand at all times and had things well in hand. He is an excellent man for the place to which they unanimously elected him. As president, we feel that Mr. Hare will add much weight to the organization. Mayor Corwine was at his host in the course of his welcome address and brought out to his hearers some fine food for thought. The climax of the session was the Contest on Friday night when the young men and women of our race displayed rare out along the line of music, poetry, oratory, and prose. The prizes in oratory were awarded to, first, Harley Davis, L. U., second, Louie H. J. Taylor, L.

GREAT BEND, KANSAS Mrs Harriett Robinson, one of the oldest and wealthiest citizens of Stanford county, departed this life December 8, 1921. Mrs. Robinson was born in Calloway county, Kentucky, April 20, 1850. She leaves to mourn their loss, seven sons, Edward, Arthur, Frank, Harley, William Earl and Jesse, two daughters, Mrs. Mayne Pope and Mrs. Lona Downey and two brothers, Swan and Andrew Micheaux. The deceased was a good christian and a member of the A. M. E. Church. She was loved by every one in the community. "A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is stilled; A place is vacant in our home, Which grows as it fills!" HON. FREEMAN L. MARTIN HON. FREEMAN L. MARTIN Hon. Freeman L. Martin, of St. Louis, Mo., made an excellent idea before the Supreme Court of Kansas where he is suing Atty. T. W. Bell, of Leavenworth, for money due him on securing a bond for a client. Atty. Martin secured judgment in the lower court of Wichita several months ago against Atty Bell. The noney was paid into the Leaven- worth court and Atty. Martin gave bond for the money and is in possession of the same while the court has it under advisement. Atty.

Unsigned communications, except from our regular correspondents will not be published. We wish to call the attention of our readers and the general public as well, to the clipping of a report of what the people in India are doing. This has the true aim. We ing. This had the true ring. we would that we had at least the colored men like President Myes, who would speak out boldly, courageously and fearlessly on the conditions that exist in this country and the mistreatment dealt out to the colored people by a misguided class of whites who try to dominate the colored people in the South. If there were organized efforts put forth on the part of the progressive law abiding citizens of this country, there would soon be an end to these outrages and ignorant black laws placed upon the statute books against only one race of people, in this country, which are unconstitutional and un-christian. The darker races are demanding to be free and unhampered and to move in an upright, dignified manner, as the white man. God never intended that one class of people should domineer or misreat another without a day of reckoning. If the upright, honest, christian whitemen were allowed their way, these conditions would not exist. But there is a class of pretenders who have the ill of the public, and who use the Bible and the church as a blind to enhance their condition. And therefore, they pray upon the weak for their existence. This has been the rule of the American white man for two centuries. It is now up to the American colored man to put forth efforts to stand by and support leaders of the race who will stand like these men in India. The time is not far distant when the American Colored man is going to stand up for his rights as they are in India and these would-be leaders who seek out the race for offices and for other mercenary purposes, will be the thing of the past. Mandalay, Burma. Demand for a free Burma without the British empire, tempered by adherence to the principle of non-violence, was the chief sentiment expressed at the ninth annual conference of Burmese associations, which recently held a four-days' session here. This meeting called by the Nationalist leader, "the most momentous conference that Burma has ever seen," was attended, in spite of the railway breach, by over 25,000 delegates, including more than 1000 women. King Urges Boycott. The conference opened with the presidential address of U. Mye, who wore the insignia conferred by King Mindon. In his address, U. Mye urged the intensive pushing of the boycott against foreign goods, the support of the national education movement, absolute non-co-operation with the government, a cold reception for the Prince of Wales, and a united stand for complete independence. In concluding he said: "Compatriots, as we all know, we non-white are struggling hard against the political and economic domination of the whites. The fight is really an uphill fight. We are between the Scylla of foreign exploration and the Charybdis of political domination. Racial discrimination is the doctrine of the whites. And fetish of white domination and exclusiveness is being worshipped with ever increasing eagerness, and fresh worshippers are being added day by day. But we should not get, defected. Without listening to the cries of the reactionaries and obscur antiste, we must march on steadily until our destination is reached. We all know that our cause is a righteous he founded upon justice and equity. Ours is a noble fight, a fight against domination and other rule. Our doctrine is 'right is might' and not 'might is right.' Freedom Their Only Aim "The might of empires may be great and formidable, but so long as we keep ourselves to truth, right and justice, we fear notions. We court no man's favor and fear no mindful trust." We are in bondage and there will be no happiness until we regain our freedom. We cannot forever be held under perpetual suspicion. "Service to the motherland is at times a thankless task, but we must not look forward to honors and great fathers. Our minds must be bent upon "working" for the country, let others say or jeer at us as they like. We in Burmese should out and all be determined to serve the motherhood whatever the consequences." The conference, in the resolutions which it adopted, showed itself in accord, with U. Myo in the points mentioned in his address. THE LYNCHING RECORD FOR YEAR OF 1921.

I left Greenville, S. C., in Sept. 1924, making stops at Tennessee Kansas, New Mexico, Arizona, and then on to California, and located at Los Angeles. This is one of the great western cities, with a population of 576,673, with the beautiful Pacific ocean and every nationality on earth represented. Opportunities are good for our people and I am glad to say that they are taking the advantage of it and in this city you will find doctors, lawyers, letter carriers, P. O. clerks, firemen, policemen and other important positions held by our people. The climate is ideal, wages are good. The orange and lemon trees are full of golden fruit, vegetables just from the ranches are to be obtained daily, Pasadena, about 10 miles from Los Angeles, and it is the most beautiful city of its size in the country and all the nations are to be found among its population. Our people are prosperous and most of them own their homes and many of them have fine cars; some are in business for themselves, others work as employees and get good wage for their work.

S. Lee, a well known Kansas City druggist, formerly of Topeka, is the inventor of the Lee Safety Hair Straighteners which have been so widely sold during the past sixty days. Dr. Lee has worked for some time on his inventions and just recently was satisfied that the best had been obtained; so that he would be willing to sell them. There are three models of the straightener, the most popular being the Wizard for use in homes. The Safety First is also, designed for home use. The Master is meeting with very great favor with hair dressers and beauty parlors. The combs are so constructed that it is impossible to injure the hair or scalp. Much difficulty has been had with both mechanical and chemical straighteners in the past because of the possibility of burning the scalp. The Lee Straighteners are guaranteed to be absolutely safe. Dr. Lee has been successful in securing patents that absolutely protect his products, and they are so ironclad that it is impossible for anyone to imitate them. Dr. Lee has found it necessary to increase the production of the combo several times since the first of November, the demand for them has been so great. He is planning now to start a national advertising campaign and this issue of the Plaindealer carries the first of a series of ads which will appear in this publication. Dr. Lee has advised the editor that special care will be taken, when filling orders from the Plaindealer readers. "Due to the fact that the demand for this comb is greater than the supply, our readers should take advantage of Dr. Lee's offer to give their orders extra attention. The Lee Straighteners are sold on approval. If you are not entirely satisfied after you have used one ten days, Dr. Lee positively guarantees to refund your money.
