SCOTT COUNSEL FOR RICH GIRL Attorney Ellisha Scott, one of the leading attorneys of the race, has been retained as counsel sor Miss Geraldine Hemmett, of Oklahoma, the second richest Colored girl in the world, who now resides in this city. Some months ago, Attorney Edw. McKeever, a white attorney of this city was employed as counsel for Miss Hemmett, is threatening to bing disbarment proceedings against Attorney Scott for usurping him of his client. JOHN H. HARRIS Attorney Scott has been active during the past years in protecting the civil and property rights of the hundreds of Colored clients thruout this section of the country. And in all these cases he has obtained splendid results. In view of the many legal entanglements involved in the Hemmett holdings, his retention as counsel is looked upon with much favor and approval by the general public in this section.

ABSURD LEGEND OF INFERIORITY OF BLACKS IS BASED BOLE LY ON TRADITION OF SLAVERY, SAYS FRENCH GENERAL. "White Race Only a Stage in Humanity—Not First—No Guarantee It Will Not Be Outdistanced In PARIS, Dec. 28.—"An end must be put to this absurd legend of the inferiority of the black races. It is based solely on the tradition of slavery and is not at all flattering to the white races." ... So declared Gen. Mangin, whose utterance is the most authoritative of those who have taken up advocacy of the cause of the blacks, following the winning of the Concourt literary prize by the Martinique writer, Rene Maran. Mangin is the great champion of the black army theory, holding that only by training and arming rer colonial subjects can France redress the balance in face of more populus Germany. Their fighting value he proved in the war, for "Manager" Mangin's colonial army was always in the thick of the French offensive. The General gainel his affection for the colored races during the twenty years he spent in colonial military and administrative commands. He is not merely a soldier but has considerable competence in literary talent; which gives weight to his literary remarks on culture among the Negro races. "There really is an intellectual elite among the backs, whom liberty has introduced to our culture," he asserted in an interview. "And experience has demonstrated that this elite possesses the ability to excel in every domain of human activity. "Civilization has its source in Yellow Asia, Black India and Black Egypt. Greece date only from 1200 or 1500 years before Christ. Rome was only a early parvenne in the history of world development. Our alphabets are Aslatic and our figures Arab. In short, the white race is only a stage in humanity, not the first nor probably the last. There is no guarantee that it will not be outdistanced by the colored races in future ages." "By its haughty manner toward the masses of Negroes within its territory the great American democracy otherwise so generous and humane, seems to forget at this point the Good Samaritan," writes M. Grosclaude. "Withus the old regime did not wait for the proclamation of the League of the Rights of Man to treat our colorful subjects as members of the family. In truth we have never been a race of slave dealers. Doubless a few were recruited among our coastal population at the time of the great adventure. The Frenchman is infinitely more cordial with his black male cousins and more gallant with his black female cousins. Generally the French resident, chillian or military, lives on excellent terms with the local population as soon as they realize we are not there to persecute them or hold them to ransom, and that there is every advantage in supporting themselves on our tempered tutelage and good fellowship. That is what distinguishes us from the English—correct, loyal and haughty, who know better had to make themselves feared than to make themselves loved." "I believe we are the only nation in the world which treats the black as brothers—an inferior brothers, if, in default of succulent moral or intellectual emancipation, they have not attained their social majority; as equals when their rich primitive nature, brought to value by our teaching, is raised above the common level." "The awarding of the Concourt prize to a colored writer has a high significance. It is a witness to the fraternal sentiment of our country for all her sons, without distinction or shades of origins, when those sons honor the country by their words or by their deeds."

Looking for a better day. H. L. Stovall, D.D.G.M 303 W. 11th Street, Pittsburgh, Kaas. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 20, 1922 MARTIN VS. BELL. The Supreme Court of Kansas affirmed the decision of the lower court in the case of Attorney Freeman L. Martin vs. T. W. Bell in this city a few days ago. The suit was for $300 00. This is the case where Mr. Bell agreed to pay the sum of $300 00 to Atty. Martin for obtaining a signer for the bond of Chas. Stevens, the alleged Mall Pouch Man, who was bound over in the United States Court. The bond was for $7500. Mr. Martin furnished the bondsman for which Mr. Bell was to pay him $300 00. He paid $20.00 and went to sleep on the $280. This was in March, 1917. Attorney Martin states that he wrote several letters all of which went amiss so far as Mr. Bell was concerned. He brought suit against the man 'Bell, who on the witness stand tried to sleep on the court by testifying that he knew nothing of such transaction and never conversed with Martin on the case. At this point, however, the bondsman woke him up by stating that they did converse on the case and that Attorney Martin had secured him, (Grant) as a bondsman. After Mr. Bell's strenuous denial of these facts in the case, the jury returnal a verdict in favor of Attorney Martin, of which the appeal to the Supreme Court resulted in the verdict of the lower court being sustained by the higher court. Attorney Martin had an execution issued and transferred to Leaverworth County, where Mr. Bell put up the money and after appealing the case, Atty. Martin, made bond for the money to the Sheriff, taking the money with him to St Louis, where he is now located. The Supreme Court giving him the right to retain the money We wish to say that this is the same Mr. Bell we employed to secure the release of the 24th Infantry boys who are in the Federal Penitentiary at Leavenworth. He applied for Habeas Corpus proceedings before Judge Pollock in the United States Court in May 1918. He brought the suit and was paid something like one hundred and fifty dollars. He failed to push the case, but ignored us and his colleagues in the case and went before the people saying it would take from five to eight thousand dollars, when in fact, it would only cost $500.00. He went before Grand Lodges, Churches, conventions and other organizations and raised hundreds of dollars. No one but him will ever know how much he secured. The case laid in court until we demanded that something be done and some action taken or else disbarment proceedings would be taken. The case was called before Judge Pollock who ruled against him. He gave notice of appeal to the U. S. Court of Appeals. As yet nothing has been done so we are informed. It seems that he has abandoned the courts and gone to Executive clemency. He was in Washington with a petition and went to Congressman Anthony and the Military advisors, asking for clemency. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored has already filed a petition of over a hundred thousand names to the president for Executive clemency. We wanted the case fought in court, if we failed there, then fall back to the petition. He was not employed to get up petitions. Any one can do that. He told the people he would get the boys out on the Habeas Corpus route. Was he trying to fool the people, or was he trying to get money for Martin? The suit of Martin's started in Dec. 1919, and some one had to foot the cost and other expenses and this was not all the money put up for bond in the Stevens case, somebody lost and it was not T. W. Bell. If he does not push this case in couro some one will ask that action he taken against him. Thousands of people donated money to him for this case and they knew that he said he could and would do. Now it is up to him to fight this case. The case should be ready for argument now and we are told that he is dying with 'slow motion' and technicalities. Let Bell keep his word, if he can with the people. Nick Chiles, President of the Kansas Defense Society engaged him and cannot hear from him. We wish we had seen Martin before he started. He states that he could not hear from him, now we can't hear from him. He seems to get an sleepy after he gets what he wants SUBSCRIBE FOR YOUR HOME PAPER-THE PLAINDEALER. MUSKOGEE, OKLA. (By J. E. MASON) Mrs. Mollie Green was the guest at a party given in her honor by the M. C. T. Club at the home of Mrs. Posey. The club is one of the Federated clubs of this city which is biding so much for this community. Many of the prominent ladies of the city took part. Mr. W J. Owens has just returned from Washington, where he was admitted to practice efore the Supreme Court of the United States. This is quite an honor for this gentleman as he has been practicing about four years. The death of Mr. B. B. Thomson, was quite a loss to the younger set of this city. He was interested in the condy business with his brother. Another drug store has been opened on Second street, a consumption long hoped for. The marriage of Prof. Smith and Miss Hattle Crawford was a surprise to their many friends. They have used the pruning knife on the pastor's salary at the Bebee Chapel. The old war dogs around the First Baptist church are beginning to show their teeth. Rev. E. C. W. Cox spent the past week in Kansas where he conducted a big meeting. While there he lectured to both races. Several converts were added to the church and the race feelings wore better by his having gone there. Rev S. S. Jones has gone gunning for the old, old rank sinners. He has succeeded in bagging such 'old aces' as R H Morris, Hardin and many of the old bunch. The P E. Council was quite a success and they are preparing to make a hard drive for F. K D college. Bishop Parks will make the school a success. Rev. Short is about to put Central on the map. Now if he can hold that wild element down, who think they should boss everything and every body, he will make good. Rev J. O. Murphy of the M E church, Superintendent of the Muskogee District, held his Quarterly meeting here last Sunday. The Rev has made a success all over his district The U. B. F.'s are fighting hard to convince its members that they are not bankrupt. Many complaints are being made by the members at Oklahoma City, and McAllister, it is reported. Mr. Anderson of the Woodnap Circle was in the city last week. Judge Jefferson will set up a new lodge of Odd Fellows this month. Plans are being laid that will assure the Negro his vote this year. The cheap skates who attempts to throttle the Negro from voting, will be hauled into the Federal courts. We all were Negroes before we were either Methodist or Baptist. Let us work for the good of the race and Christianity. These denominations are only husk. Everybody is getting liberty but the Negro, he is too busy shouting and planning to make his demination the big thing. Who is it that is so thick skulled as to not know that the present deminations are nothing less than an organization of greed, graft and sanctimonious polf. What right has any church to get a salary, tax the members and create an army of officers to be paid by the membership? The system is not only wrong, but sinful, hellish and stinks to the heavens.

The Western University journeyed from Kansas City to Olathe to play the Y. M. C. A. team and took our scalp by the score of 21 to 15. Olathe "Y" team played in Kansas City, Mo., Friday an Saturday, Jan. 13th and 14th. First game was with Sumner High, in which Olathe won by a score of 20 to 15. The second game was with Lincoln High in which Olathe won by a score of 10 to 0. We are very proud to say that we have one of the best basket ball teams in the state, under the leadership of Prof. P. G. Porter, the energetic principal of our public school. Mrs. Joe Fanon, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Jenkins, Miss Willa Mao Mar --- ENDORSES OUR RACIAL POLICY Mr. Nick Chiles, Editor Topeka Plaindealer. Dear Sir: I am one of the many among the race who appreciate your stand relative to the Negro race in America. All you say and have said heretofore regarding the treatment of our race in the South is correct. But listen, under a majority government, does not the Negro bring the most of the tree treatment on himself and the remainder of his fellowmen? I am very sincere in what I say, from the fact I was born here in the South in the state of Texas, lived there 35 years and I think I am well informed of the conditions thruout the South, as I had the opportunity of coming in contact with my race from every state in the Union. And I will say it's bad. I have been here in the state of Oklahoma for three years. I have made several attempts to try to vote yet, although I have noticed some of my race and others have been registered and have voted, the most of them neither property owners and some could not write their names. Theese are some of the many conditions which are going on that it seems to me can not be prohibited and is one of the things that is ruining the Solid South' Next, I find all over the South sometime back, that the Negro in order to get to vote after he found that politics were confused, changed his politics. In order to get to vote he just voted the Democratic ticket which was another stumbling block he made in his own path. If I never become able to vote while I live here in this state, or in the United States, I will never change my politics in order to vote. I was a voter in my prefect in the state of Texas and always voted the Republican ticket and I will not place myself astride the force as I believe I am the good part of that political party. There was one thing I had the opportunity of viewing some 18 years ago, and that was that the Negro was letting his church and religious beliefs in the South put him back to where he was some 50 years ago. Since then he has changed and I begin to see a brighter day dawning! Herewith I am quoting you from an article which was published in Washington, D.C., during the late World War: "We are in the war and we can come out of it only as conquerors or compuered, victorious or dishonored, as an independent or a subject nation. Our lives, our homes, our institutions, all that Washington fought for and Lincoln died for, are at stake. Our only way out now is to fight it out for the simple cause of America and Americans. We must as John Hancock said, "hang together or hang separately." The man who in public or private life subordinates this cause to any other consideration, no matter what or who fails in the full, devoted and efficient performance of his duty to the nation, is "a traitor to himself, his family, the Republic and the right." So you can study this out and try to co-operate with our people and see exactly where they are. I shall be glad to talk with you in person or by letter at anytime I am skierely, H. Y TBAKER.

The first colony of thirty came from Topeka, with W. H. Smith and Z. T. Fletcher, both colored, president and secretary. They were originally from Kentucky. The second colony of 250 in numbers also came from that state. This colony arrived in 1877, under the leadership of the Rev. Mr. Bell, colored arriving at Nicodemus. It was worked up by W. R. Hill, now dead, who is entitled to much of the credit in getting the colored people to immigrate to Graham county. The county seat of the county is Hill City, and in honor of the sman the town was named. The third coony, also from Kentucky, numbering 150, reached Nicodemus in charge of Hill in March 1878. The fourth and fifth coonies under the leadership of a minister named Goodwin and S. P. Roundtree, and numbering in the first fifty, and the other twenty-five, came from Mississippi and Kentucky. These families of colored people as a general rule brought with them some readt cash and household effects. Besides the state gave them some aid while J P St John was governor. On their arrival at Nicodemus, the heads of the families went to work at whatever they could find and the women held town the homesteads. Horses and vehicles were scarce, and many of them were known to carry their flour from India, the nearest railroad point, a distance of 35 miles, on their backs. They were ignorant of farming in western Kansas, had no teams to speak of, nor implements and many used spades to work garden patches. It was common sight to see them walking to and from Ella, carrying large burdens. The Nicodemus charter was issued in 1877, with the following officers. W. H. Smith, president; Berry Carr, vice president; S. P. Roundtree, secretary; W R. Hill, manager and locator. Circulars were printed and addressed to the Colored people of Kentucky and Tennessee, setting forth the propositions of the organization and the benefits of their locating on government lands and securing homes in Graham county. Most of them located in Nicodemus township and in pioneer times the thrifty town of Nicodemus built up. Your correspondent remembers his first visit to the town. It had two newspapers hotel, two general stores, bank, drugs, and other business enterprises. They looked for the extension of the Missouri Pacific from Stockton, and had hopes of securing the Union Pacific. Neither one has ever reached Nicodemus. The town commenced to go backward and in a few years her business moved to other towns. In later years the country commenced to prosper, farmers commenced making some money, the god homes gave way to frame and stone, and some of them went to raising hogs and cattle. But Nicodemus never came up again. Several of the coorde people were honored with political offices. E P. McCabe, once county clerk, later assistant state auditor two terms. He was a lawyer; J R Hawkins served in the office of clerk of court John Deprad was county clerk, W. J. Savers has served in county attorney and is now one of the leading attorneys of the Sixth district Lewis Welton and Daniel Hickman have served the county as commissioners and George W. Jones was a candidate for congress in the Phillipsburg convention, besides served Graham county as county clerk. On account of crop failures many of them drifted elsewhere, but one thing sure, those who stalk, mary of them own from 320 acres to a section. And they are well served with schools and churches.

We receive every day a large number of personal articles from persons who insist that their articles be published just as they are written. We always enleaor to put ourselves in the place of the writer and we find many of these articles extremely interesting to us personally, but they are not news and are not interesting to most people. An elaborate description of a banquet is not of very much interest to people unless the person for whom it is given is known to practically all the readers, and then it must be skillfully written to be of interest because banquets are very commonplace things. The same is true of funerals and reception, quarterly conferences, etc. These are all occasions upon which some of us are called upon to attend every day, and if ach of us insistel that the funerals, receptions, visits of friends or relatives or any other af fair that concerns us individually more than anyone else be given a lengthy writeup in the Christian decoder it would require a weekly edition of 50 pages, and then that edition would render very little interesting reading matter to the people at large The average Negro paper devotes its pages entirely too much to localism. That is to say, it is surely an interesting paper to read for anyone who does not live in the vicinity where it is published or has been a former resident of that place; for too much of its news comprises lengthy articles on the deaths, marriages or receptions of its local residents. So, dear readers, let us appeal to you to not feel offended if your article is not printed verbatim. And when you get ready to send in an article stop and think: "Would I be interested in this from some other part of the country?" The Christian Recorder wants your news, in fact it must have it to live, but send in the news that the other person wants to read, and that the other person will buy the paperer to real—and you can do this by putting yourself in the other person's place for a few moments, and then we will have a paper worth while and one that will be self sustaining' A Tip For All Who Would Aid But Do Not Know How. Osage City Free Press. First of all give him the NEWS. He wants it. Give it to him though sometimes it does not get into the paper. He hasn't time always to tell you why some pieces of news are not used; but ten to one he has a perfectly good and impersonal reason. Give him the news even tho you may not be especially interested in it. Some folks never think to give the editor news except when they are concerned in it one way or another. Second, don't give him a piece of news and tell him you want it printed just as it is written. There is a right and a wrong way to do even such a simple thing as writing an article for a country paper. One editor had to leave town because he printed every piece of news just as it was handed in—spelling, punctuation and all—printed it with the name of the person who gave it in. Third, don't try to play a joke thru the paper unless you explain it to the editor.' A thing in cold type looks a lot different and sounds different from a thing repeated by word of mouth, when the voice, a facial expression and a gesture, perhaps, helps to show its meaning. Fourth, don't worry for fear the editor is making too much money; you should want him to be prosperous. He can and will give you a better paper. He will be less likely to have to compromise with his conscience over certain kinds of advertising. And anyhow, he can't make a big fortune out of his paper he will be lucky, if he keeps going. Fifth, be ready to tell your editor when something in the paper pleases you. Once in a while you tell your preacher he has a good sermon, so tell the editor something about his paper. Sixth, get your "copy" to him early. Take it to him for the next week the day after the previous publication, if you can. It takes time to set type and make a paper. Did you ever wonder what the editor did all the time between publication days? You would know if you were publishing a newspaper yourself. Lastly, go in some day when the paper is being printed. Go in several times during the day, and you will have more of a realization of what a job it is to make a weekly paper. Try this as a New Year's resolution. Vitalizer Found In Africa Produces Results in a Few Days—Better Than Gland Treatments. The most amazing vitalizer known today has been discovered in the bark of an African tree. An extract made of this bark, and compounded in tablet form with other invigorators of proved merit, is declared to be far superior to even the famous "goat glands" and monkey gland" treatments. In most cases, it produces gratifying results in just a few days, and as the treatment is continued the vitality increases rapidly, the circulation improves and the glow of health is felt in every part. If you have lost your youth, vigor and "pep" you need not worry. No matter what else you have tried without benefit, science declares flatly that you will get from this new extract the results you desire. In fact, the laboratories making the tablets for the American trade guarantee to refund the purchase price to anybody who reports "no benefit" after only one week's treatment. On this basis, any reader of this paper may test the new discovery without risk. Send no money, but just your name and address to the ReBild Laboratories, Dept. 160, Coca Cola Bldg., Kansas City, Mo. and you will receive by mail a full treatment of ReBild tabs, as the new vitalizer is called. On delivery, pay the postman $2 and postage. Try the vitalizer a week and then if disappointed notify the laboratories and get your money back in full.
