THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR P. S. B. Pinchback, the only col- lored than who ever served as a governor of one of the states' of the Union, died at his home in Washington. He served as governor of Louisiana from Dec. 6, 1872, to Jan. 18, 1873. He had been elected Lieutenant governor, and upon the impeachment of Governor Marmoth, succeeded to the gubernatorial chair. At the outbreak of the Civil War he joined the Louisiana native guards. He served as State Senator and delegate-at-large to the Republican national conventions of 1868 and 1884. He also served as president of the board of police commissioners of New Orleans and as a member of the school board. President Arthur appointed him surveyor of the port of New Orleans. After waging a campaign for a seat in the United States Senate, he was rejected by a vote of 32 to 20. In 1872 he was elected representative at large from Louisiana, but refused to take the oath, preferring to continue his senatorial campaign. He came to Washington 30 years ago. Surviving him are his wife, two sons, Dr. Bismarck Pinchback and Lieutenant Walter Pinchback, and one grandson, Eugene Hoomer. —Washington Post. Chicago Defender. New Orleans, La., Jan. 61 -One by one the spectacular figures which shown in reconstruction politics in Louisiana are passing away. During 1921, occurred the deaths of a former lieutenant-governor, a governor and a state senator. The last mentioned, Senator Pierre Landry, died Thursday, Dec. 22, 111 same dap that marked the end of exgovernor Pinchback. Pierre Landry was born a slave on the Brinken plantation in Ancestion parish, April 17, 1841. Thru industry and thrift and the kindness of his master he was enabled to buy his freedom for $1,600 at the age of 16. From that time on his life was filled with a variety of activities, although one of his ambitions—enlistment during the Civil War—was discouraged and blocked by his mother. After the war Landry entered politics and served the state in the capacity of representative and senator. At the age of 27 he was elected mayor of the city of Donaldsonville. Later he was postmaster in the same town. It is said that Senator Landry fore saw the change which was to come in reconstruction politics, and while at the height of his political career took up the active upbuilding of the Methodist Episcopal church in Louisiana, associating with Bishop Hartzell. It was Senator Landry who put over the legislation which made New Orleans college a strong institution. He later worked for and succeeded in establishing the measure which made the Southern University possible. Flint Medical college and the Flint Goodridge hospital of New Orleans were also indebted to his efforts. A peculiar feature of his remarkable career was the fact that he never spent a day in school as a student. Yet he studied hard and became dean of Gilbert college and served as its had for six years. When he was 19 years old he was married to Miss Amanda Grigsby, of Ascension parish, who bore him 13 children, 11 of whom still survive. By another wife, married after the death of the first in 1883, Senator Landry was the father of two other children, who are still living. He was in good and vigorous health to within six months of his death and then began to slowly fall. He was confined to bed only three weeks when he died in full mental vigor, surrounded by his large family. The funeral was a notable affair. Among the many who spoke feelingly of the life of Senator Landry were L. E. Bentley, port commissioner of New Orleans, and ex-Governor Warmouth, who was a Republican governor of Louisiana during reconstruction days. NUMBER TWO Hon. Nick Chiles, President, Kansas Defense Society. For sometime I've been thinking of putting this matter before you and asking you to use your influence with our public men of authority and power in wiping out the great evil of "Mob Rule". I see thru your paper the Plaindealer that you have been able to get in touch with President Harding and our congressmen on other matters; and I do not see why you could not champion this GAUSE of so vital importance to the people of the United States; and so worthy of much consideration by all wise thinking people. The "Mob law" is a disgrace to our country and a greet blot upon the fair name of the United States. In the eyes of all other nations of the world. Lynching and burning were formerly confined to the Southern state and the Negro; but these later years has spread to nearly every state in the Union and no race is exempted. Evil has no limit as you see, and if not checked will sooner or later become the ruling passion. I have been waiting patiently for Congress to right this great wrong thru legislation, for that is the only way it can ever be done, but so far it has failed to do so. I see there has been a bill called the Anti-Lynching bill introduced in the House of Representatives. I do not know just what this bill embraces, but if it covers the ground, and will aid in breaking up this evil practice, I want you to urge our congressmen to support it. Please write to President Harding and our Senators and Congressmen, call on Governor Allen and risk him to use his influence. Get it before the Defense Societies or similar organizations in all the states in the Union, that you can reach, asking them to act together as a unit and petition their congressmen to support this bill or some other one that will wipe out this great injustice. The time to strike is white the iron is hot. I would like to see a law made to embrace the following. That the county wherein the victim of a mob suffers death, be compelled to pay the sum of $2000; the state to pay $3000; and the United States, $10,000 to said victims nearest heirs. The above amounts to be drawn out of the respective treasuries and raised by a taxation of the people of those districts. When you fail to move man by an appeal to his conscience to right such an injustice as the "Mob law" the next step is to appeal to his pocket book. For it appears the whole nation is more concerned about its wealth than it is about the common defense and general welfare of its people. I would like you to publish this letter in the Plaindealer and send a copy to the Defense Societies. Yours for Justice, JACOB WELCHER Council Grove, Kan. KILLED DRUNKEN BOSS St Louis, Mo, Jan. 4.-H. M. Graham, white director of the Graham Paper Company, who boasted that he took one hundred drinks a day and his liquor bill was four hundred fifty dollars per month, was shot and killed by Clifford Taylor, his chauffeur. Graham was on a drunk and snushel up things in the house and Taylor went to see him telling him he had decided to leave his employ. It was while Taylor was asking him for his money that Graham became violent and his chauffeur killed him. He voluntarily surrendered to the police. Graham's wife who is cut off in her husband's will, immensely committed suicide. GRAND MASTER JAMESON VISITS IN TO Dr. II, W. Jameson, of Peoria, Ill. Grand Master of the U. B. F. and S. M. T. of this country, was in the city this week for the purpose of installing the officers of the various lodges and chapters. Mrs. Elsie Brown, Worthy Princess of Silver Temple, Mrs. E. Lawson, Princess of Patterson Temple, and Mr. Burrell Pope, Worthy Master of Dunbar, No. 7. The National Grand Master met a crowded house for the occasion. After the installation a reception was held in his honor. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 13, 1922 NEGRO MUSIC (By Dr. Frank Crane) The Negro problem in the United States is usually considered in one of three respects. First, as a labor question:—this competition with the whites is resentful for the old reason that his scale of living is lower. Second, as a political question:—the injection of a mass of ex-slaves into the voting population brought its inevitable confusion. Third, as a social problem:—the Negro cannot be argued or legislated out of his status of a human being, and as such he has to get along in some way with white human beings. There is another aspect of the Negro question, however, which has been neglected, and that is the artistic and aesthetic aspect. While the Negro is inferior to the Anglo-Saxon in the rougher and more practical activities of civilization there are certain regions of sentiment where he is superior. In one realm of feeling the Negro is distinctly superior, and that is music. The only entirely original music produced in the United States and perhaps in the world, in recent times has been the Negro melodies. They are the products of pure and vigorous creative imagination. Natalie Curtis Burlin recently got out a series of four pamphlets of Negro folk songs, wherein there is presented to us, in a striking way, the musical genius of the Negro. The black man produced his music as all true music is produced, as a bu product of his work, his play, and his passion. He is primarily the creator of the work song. The pamphlets referred to contain interesting examples. For example there is the "Peanut Pickin' Song," which grew out of the times when the slaves of all ages gathered round the open bonfire and picked the harvested peanuts from their stems. "I kin fill dis basket if I choose, Den Maaa gwine give me Chris mus shoes Two red han'kerchiefs an' a walkin' cane Den I's gwine strut down de Big House lane." There was the "Hammerin' Song," which comes from the mines of Virginia, where the workmen chanted a simple refrain and were lead by a "header," or leader, who received extra pay for his ability in improvisation. Besides these there is "Chicka'hanka," used by workmen on the railroads, imitating the puffing of locomotives; "Liza Jane," one of the many songs improvised for dances; the "Cotton-Pickin' Song," the "Corn-Shuckin' Song," and others. And no mention has been made of the largest field of all, which is that of the spiritual songs and religious melodies. But the point of it all is that the Negro unconsciously thinks musically. To the white man, music is a luxury. To the Negro, it is life itself. LOCAL W. R. C.

One of the prettiest of the holiday events was given Thursday morning by the Excelsior Club at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Robinson, 900 E. Grand. The house was made more beautiful with holiday decorations. The hostess Mrs. W. R. Robinson, was assisted by the club members in serving a dainty luncheon. Out of town guests were: Mrs. Bertha Smith of Topeka, Kansas, sister of the hostess; Mr. and Mrs. I. P. Jones, Dr. and Mrs. Williamston and Mrs. Maud Horne of McAlester, followed Monday morning. Jan. 2, by an informal breakfast at the home of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Jones, 1021 East Choc-taw, in honor of Mrs. Bertha S. Smith. The home was beautifully decorated with pot flowers and car nations. Out of town guest, Mrs. Scott, of Wilburton, Okla. —From (Okla. City.) Black Dispatch EXCELSIOR LODGE ,K. OF P. INSTALLS NEW OFFICERS On Thursday evening, January 5th, Excelsior Lodge, No. 3, Knights of Pythias, held a great feast and a good time at the installation of the newly elected officers at their hall, 620 Kansas avenue. Mr. Frank Dehart, who recently moved to this city from the southern part of the state, was installed as Chancellor Commander; J. C. Gateskill, V. C.; Amos Booker; K. of R. and S.; W. E. Miller, M. E.; Martin Perguson, M. F. This lodge has at present a membership of One hundred and fifty six. Mr. Dehart moved to Topeka a few months ago from Independence, Kansas transferring his membership to No. 3. Owing to his thorough knowledge of Pythianism, the members elected him without a dissenting vote. He is one of the finest chefs in this section of the country and is now in charge of the University Club, corner Sixth and Harrison streets. He is one of Kansas' progressive citizens and believes in doing things. Just recently he purchased a nice modern home at 730 Garfield avenue, at a cost of $2400. He has a wife and daughter to share his joys. Together with' Thomas Sheed, he served the Knights a fine lunch consisting of Minced ham, New York cheese and good coffee. Mr Dehart worked for two terms in the State Legislature. The people of Topeka are proud of good, progressive citizens of this type and this is evidenced by his having been elected Chancellor Commander of this lodge also a complete stranger. CONGRESSMAN ANSORAGE WILL FIGHT DISCRIMINATION IN CAPITAL RESTAURANT New York, Jan 12 —The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York City, today made public a letter from Representative Martin C. Ansorage, of the 21st district, New York, asserting that if any attempt was made to exclude colored people from the restaurant of the House of Representatives in Washington, he would fight it. The letter was addressed to James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the Association and concludes with a reference to Mr Johnson's "strenuous activity" in pressing the Diver Anti Lynching Bill. "I cannot believe," writes Representative Ansorage, "that any assurances have been given to Mr Aswell as stated in the report However, just so soon as I return to Washington, I shall investigate this matter and advise you." "I am quite certain that no such rule as requested by Representative Aswell of Louisiana will be made during a Republican Administration and if any such rule is made, I shall fight with you to have it abrogated." "I am glad to have been able to cooperate with you in connection with your strenuous activity in favor of the Anti Lynching Bill." MUSKOGEE, OKLA. The coming of Roscoe Simmons was a great day to the citizens of Muskogee. They showed their apreciation with a large house. Mr. Simmons gave some timely advice. Miss Mamie Smith and her Jazz Hounds played at the Orpheum to overy large audience. No amount of previous insults could keep some of our people away. Curiosity, desire for cheap display, and the general absence of a moral back ground with the subjagation itself and racial peaspect gave the Orpheum a very large attendance last Friday night. CALLS A. M. E. CHURCH "JIM CROW" Baltimore, Md., Jan. 5.—Rev. Charles E. Stewart, presiding elder of the Baltimore district, threw a bombshell into the A. E. E. church minister's meeting when he asserted that Protestantism is a commercialized and disorganized institution. More interested in raising money than in saving souls. He also aroused theire of some of the minister's when he declared the African Methodist Episcopal church to be a "Jim Crow" institution, and asserted that many colored people who have blood of the other races coursing through their veins are hostile to the church because of the use of the term "African." Dr. Stewart's remarks followed the reading by Rev. R. E. Ford on "Protestantism" in which sig achievements were recounted and a sim greater future predicted. The presiding elder also said some Protestant denominations prohibited dancing, card-playing, theatrical going, but some preachers winked at violations in their desire to get money. While Dr. Stewart was speaking, Rev. P. J., Jordon, who was presiding, interrupted by saying he would like to see what would happen if Dr. Stewart made such an address just before an election of delegates to the general conference and were one of the candidates. Dev. J. W. Norris characterized the address as one tending to destroy the A. M. E. church and took issue with the theory that Protestantism is only interested in money getting. Rev. C. H. Stepteau defended the A. M. E. church as an institution that has given men an opportunity to display their abilities along all lines. The Military burial given George Walker last Sunday reflected honor on our boys. The entire affair was handled with much credit. It is the very height of foolishness to think any body of men, society or group of individuals can break the spirit of the Muskogee Negro. While we have some who have ever bowed the knee of submission; there are those who never will. The ministers were right when they advisel the race not to attend a place where they had been so often denied admission. It was nothing less than the surrender of racial respect Nothing but the ballot will satisfy the Negro, all other talk in sounding brass. We are not in the mode to hear the pussy footer, compromiser, apologist, nor the fellow who can feed us on sweet adjectives and oratorical shell shock. Rev Maddox came in a few days ago and told me he was with me if all the Negroes would join the Baptist church. While that was rath or selfish in my old bachelor friend, yet that would be better than the present system that divided the race into many denominational groups. The M. E. church South, has made a call for the wards of the church (C M. E.) to ascertain why the leaders are losing grip on the young Negro. The Baptist keep a closer watch over their minors by having the state Missionary placed on the pay roll. Smith of Georgia, sends the money to Ivey Lovelace of Wynne, Arkansas, who then sends the warrants out to the different workers. The sad face Negroes in the M. E. church sticks because they have a Jim-crow Bishop and do not lose their property. Now, just be honest with yourself. Do you believe the Negro can ever get together with the white's dictating their church polity and bossing their actions. There is to be a State Ticket composed of Negroes. Progress? Yes. The reporter has been sick for the last three weeks, but he will continue to make these columns worth reading. Nothing but manly, brave, honest and progressive doctrine. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI The Greenwood Baptist church, 18 street and Terrace avenue, of this city held a great revival meeting conducted by the Rev. E. A. Johnson. The meeting was an old fashioned revival at which time 35 souls were added. A big Sunday mass meeting Rev. G. T. Mossby is the pastor. PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR MRS. HATTIE WILLIAMS WRITES OF THE GOLDEN WEST .. Perhaps some of your readers would like to hear from the Golden State of the far West. I left Greenville, S. C., in Sept. 1921, 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. The Thanksgiving dinner given by the Missionary Society of the A. M. E. church was a success and about one hundred dinners were served. The Quill Content given by the Sewing Circle of the same church of which Mrs. G. L. Cooper, wife of the pastor, is president, also had a great success in raising $85 85. Mrs. D. W. Phelps, won the beautiful, quilt. It was my pleasure to assist the Y. W. C. A Club in decorating their Community Center for the holidays. We had a very rainy Xmas and not a single fire-cracker have I seen. They are not used here only for celebrating the fourth of July. Mr. and Mrs. I H. Hawthorne entertained the following guests at a delicous turkey dinner on Xmas day* Dr. and Mrs Richardson, Los Angeles, Mr Elana, New Jersey; Mrs Brown, Kansas; Mrs. H. D. Williams, South Carolina; Mrs Walker, Detroit; Mr. and Mrs H Jones; Mr Proctor Mrs Hopkins, city. On December 26th, another elaborate turkey dinner was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs Homer Jones, covers were laid for the following guests: Rev G L. Cooper and family; Mr and Mrs I H Hawthorne, Mr and Mrs, Andy Burton, Mr and Mrs D W. Phelps, Mrs Hopkins, Miss Jennie Robinson, Mrs Wood, of this city, Mrs. H.

The Tournament of Roses, was very beautiful and the streets of Pasadena, were decorated in the National colors and palms Thanks for space. Mrs. Hattie E. Williams MEXICO, MISSOURI St Paul Chapel, C M E church, is now growing as never before under the leadership of the Rev. J W S. Lowe, being organized from the smallest to the largest. A splen did Sunday School, a fine League. On the fifth Sunday of this month, we have planned a rally for the purpose of purchasing a piano. It is hoped that we will raise a nice sum. Our pastor, Rev. Lowe was reported ill last week, but is improving fast. Mrs. Willie Brooks entertained the Woman's Missionary Society on Dec. 23. The society realized Eight dollars. Mr. Harrel Holt one of our soldier boys who has been ill for over a year, is now improving very rapidly. Mr. Tom Harrison, our grocerman, has added a new addition to his store and is doing a great business. Madam Orra L. Scott of one city is the Poro agent in this city and is doing well with this work.
