THE TUPEKA PLAINDEALER. Lincoln and Douglass--Immortals THE PLAINDEALER INQUIRY REACHES THE HIGHER-UPS HEADQUARTERS 24TH U. S. INFANTRY Columbia New Mexico. January 18, 1922 The Editor, Topeka Plaindealer Topeka, Kansas. Sir: There has been brought to my attention, a copy of your paper of January 6th, in which it is alleged that certain members of the 24th Infantry have received inhuman treatment at the hands of officers of this regiment. I have this date instituted a thorough investigation of the allegations contained in your paper and if the findings of the investigation officer substantiate the unsigned complaint appearing in your esteemed publication or if it is shown that any enlisted man of this regiment has been unjustly treated by any officer the necessary disciplinary action will be bad. Since assuming command of this regiment—over a year ago, I have always insisted on fair and humane treatment of the enlisted men. Orders are in force in this regiment permitting and encouraging any enlisted man to come to me at any time with a complaint. I have encouraged my men to make known to me any abuses or maltreatment on the part of officers and non-commissioned officers. I have personally made known this fact to the assembled command and there is not a man in this regiment but who knows he is at liberty to see me at any time, day or night. If it is not inconsistent with your policy, I would appreciate it if you will advise me as the signer of the letter appearing in your paper of the GtI. It is not only fair to the good name of this honorable organization that I ascertain if possible whether or not the writer attempted to first apprise the regimental commander of the abuses he herein alleges to have been committed. If you will furnish me the name of this man I assure you that he will be granted immunity from punishment for having communicated with you. In passing I beg to state that Captain Mason, the officer referred to as a southern officer, is a native of Kansas. Assuring you of my earnest desire and determination to have this matter thoroughly investigated and justice done in this instance, I am. Very respectfully. JNO. B- SCHOEFFEL. Colonel, 24th Infantry, U. S. A. Commanding Colonel Jno. B. Schoeffel. Commanding, 24th U. S Infantry. Columbus, New Mexico. My dear Sir: In reply to your letter of January 18th, 1822, I will say we appreciate your expression as an exponent of fair and impartial treatment of the men of your command. We feel however, that in view of the established rule of the army, both by customs and regulation, your men would not reach you with a complaint, the same would no doubt be lost in the course of procedure thru military channels. In view of this fact, orders emanating from the commanding officer would naturally be passed down thru officers of lower rank, who can use abusive language and inflict severe punishment without the knowledge of the commanding officer. The enlisted men fear the consequence of refuting the statement of their superior officers and know that a charge against him would have to be witnessed by others to even have any weight in an inquiry. The line officers are white and of southern extraction and carry race hatred as the result of the effects of slavery. They do not believe any colored soldier is deserving of fair-treatment. In fact we have never heard of any efforts or recommendations from white officers who are up in army circles or even yourself, expressing NUMBER SIX desire for the promotion of colored soldiersto be promoted in the army for meritorious acts or efficiency, beyond the rank of a noncommissioned officer in the Quartermasters department, whose mess sergeant had made good and saved some money in the company fund. The trend of the army purpose and thought is to keep the colored soldier down by using such methods as complained of, and to juggle the facts that the higher officers like yourself can always approve by saying you did not have the facts in hand. It is regrettable that men who are required to display bravery on the battlefields are made cowards in their everyday military life, and especially the colored enlisted men. You must admit air, that the colored men in the army do not get the same treatment as the white enlisted men. It is also an unwritten rule of the army so far as a colored officer is concerned, that he shall advance no farther than is possible to keep him down. Like the lamented Cohmel Young, who recently passed away in far off Africa, and two or three other colored men who escaped through West Point, attaining the rank of captains and colonel, who were held down by Southern sentiment which predominates the army. Northern sentiment and influence has succumbed to Southern hatred until now a Northern white man is as prejudiced as the Southerners, because the Southerners have come north and in coming brought this poisoned prejudice with him. He has given the Northerner the dollar to make him accept the Negro hating policy. In the days and through such illustrious men as Sherman, Garfield Grant, McKinley, Roosevelt and thousands of other good white men, who have passed to the Great Bevond, the colored man received the proper promotions and made their narrow escape, notwithstanding the great valor and meritorious acts performed by colored soldiers in France in the late World war. This has not been sufficient to soften the hard hearts of you officers to promote one to any position either in military or civil life, yet thousands of whites who never saw the battle fields, are now holding higher positions and promoted in and out of the army. General Pershing has never ordered or cited a colored soldier for promotion. You know that prejudice is rife and your subordinate officers should be investigated. We hear that the Mess Furds of some of the colored companies are woefully misused by white officers. Please give this your careful attention. Now, my dear Colonel, it will go down in history to the everlasting disgrace to the United States Army, of the most glaring and flagrant treatment of the late Col Young, who died in exile in Africa on account of army prejudice. His reputation as a soldier, officer and a gentleman have never been questioned, yet he suffered from this same prejudice. When The government needed its best brain in military affairs, this illustrious soldier who had come through West Point, assigned to duty with the 8th Cavalry as Lieutenant serving in different organizations for the faithful performance of duties and loyalty, he was promoted from time to time until he reached the colonelcy. This was more than the American white prejudice could stand, so when war started, ex-president Wilson, then president, who stood for the underhanded methods of examinations, allowed the Board to report him deficient on some pretended or technical point and had him retired on account of high blood pressure. In our opinion, this was simply a 'frame-up' to get rid of him, for sometime shortly afterwards, he mounted his horse and rode to the capitol from his home in Ohio, to prove that he was is perfect health and eager to fight, notwithstanding TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 10, 1922 appeal and that of his friends, his of his efforts to qualify himself. He found the spirit of Grant, Sherman and other friends of fair-play had vanished and the spirit of Jeff Davis, Tillman, Vardaman, was on the throne. They decided that his presence was an eye-sore, and Liberia was named for him to go as an attache of this government, far from his birthplace, his friends, and family. A country where he had given part of his best days to make safe and sound for democracy. Through his superior military knowledge many a white officer was promoted on his information imparted to them and his recommendation for their promotion. On the ther hand, these same men opposed his promotion and rise in the ranks. So you can easily see how race prejudice has reached and obtained such a foothold in the army, and the men under your command, or rather your commissioned men must be of the above extraction or-money and caste have changed them greatly. You have my best wishes and we pray to God that he may yet change the policy of the American white man towards the American Negro, as He did Paul of Tarsus. As no American white person has ever kept themselves from the grave, we yet believe the Almighty Jehovah is fair to all mankind. None have yet been spared to remain over to laud over the other that they are the gods favored ones. So the black, red and the white man all have to meet their death, so why not all live together in Peace and Harmony and apply the Golden Rule. The American colored people hold no prejudice against the white race or any other for that matter, so let the Golden Rule apply in your regiment and your enlisted men will have no cause for a complaint NICK CHILES. President Kansas Defense Society Editor, Topeka Plaindealer UNITED STATES SENATE Nick Chiles. The Plaindealer. Topeka, Kansas Dear Friend: Your letter of the 24th ultimun en- closing a copy of a letter received by you from a soldier in the 24th Infantry complaining because of the treatment accorded enlisted men of the regiment by their officers, and also transmitting a copy of pour letter to Secretary Weeks asking for an investigation into the situation, is received. While this letter is dat- ed December 29th, it has just reach- ed me. I agree with you that the colored soldiers are rentitled to fair and just treatment and that they should not be discriminated against in any way because of their color, and I shall be very glad to bring your up appeal to the attention of the Secretary of War and urge it have his prompt attention. UNITED STATES SENATE My dear Chiles: Answering your letter of recent date, it will give me pleasure to bring your matter to the attention of the secretary of War. Trusting the case will be carefully looked into. I am, with kindest regards. WAR DEPARTMENT Washington. January 21, 1922 Honorable Arthur Capper, United States Senate. My dear Senator: -I desire to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of January 16, 1922 including a letter from Mr. Nick Chiles, editor of the Topeka Plaindealer. In reply you are informed that I THE NEW YORK TIMES DR. THOMAS A, FLETCHER, A RECENT GRADUATE OF PARIS AND LONDON UNIVERSITIES. KANSAS CITY'S ONLY SPECIALIST IN DISEASES OF THE EYE, EAR, NOSE AND THROAT. DR. T. A. FLETCHER SPECIALIST The colored people of Kansas City and the west are proud of the fact that they now boast of having the first and only eye, ear, nose and throat specialist, in the person of Dr. Thomas A. Fletcher, who recently graduated from the University of London, England, the Royal London Hospital, (Moorefield's Eye Hospital), and the Central London Throat Hospital and the University of Paris, France, the L'Hospital Larihollsire, (Ear, Nose and Throat) and the L'Hospital Dien, (Eye hospital). After a general practice of medicine for several years, Dr. Fletcher saw the need of, and noted the demand for a specialist in this locality for the treatment of diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat. He at once gave up his practice and went to Chicago, for the purpose of taking the special curse. On appearing at the hospital in that city he was told that members of his race were not admitted. He found that he could not accomplish much by the segregation route, and in view of the fact that he wanted it all or none at all, to perfect his plans, he immediately arranged for passport to England, and accompanied by his accomplished wife, sailed for England his mother country where he had received his early training and where he was met with open arms DR. THOMAS A. FLETCHER, A LONDON UNIVERSITIES. KANSAS DISEASES OF THE EYE, EAR, NO have received a letter from Mr Chiles on the same subject and have already taken-the necessary action Your interest in the matter is appreciated. Sincerely yours. JO HN W. WEEKS, Secretary of War WAR DEPARTMENT Washington. January 19, 1922 Mr. Nick Chiles, Editor, The Topeka Plaindealer, Topeka, Kansas. Dear Sir: I desire to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of December 28,1921 with attached copy of a letter from a soldier of the 24th Infantry. In reply you are informed that I have directed that the allegations contained in the above soldier's letter be investigated and if found to be true, will see that the necessary corrective action is taken. Yours very truly, JOHN W. WILMS, Secretary of War. and extended all the courtees that any human being could wish. He did special work not only in the line of eye, ear, nose and throat, but gave conderable time to optometry, and became proficient in fitting eye glasses, one of the most important branches of this practice. The Royal Hospital of London was established in 1804 and some of the finest specialists in the country are numbered among its graduates. In the English and French institutions the standard of work is unusually high, the system almost perfect and the authorities are strict in their methods of teaching. No one is given a certificate of authority to go out in the world to practice unless they have thoroughly mastered the subject. They play no favorites, you must deliver the goods. The doctor was placed in charge of classes and placed in positions of great responsibilities which showed his rare ability in the medical profession and the work which he was pursuing. In France he was accorded the same treatment as in London. Dr. Fletcher was accompanied by his wife which made the long trip and his work more pleasant, his little daughter was left with her grandparents, Prof. and Mrs. Shelton French, Dr. Fletcher returned to Kansas City in November and is now located in the Thompkins building 1509 E. 18th street. Since he has located, he has prescribed not less than seventy five pair of eye glasses and has treated a number of cases of eye, ear, nose and throat RECENT GRADUATE OF PARIS AND AS CITY'S ONLY SPECIALIST IN CHOSE AND THROAT. trouble Although a practicing physician, he will adhere strictly to the this special line of practice He graduated from the medical college of Howard University in 1912, served as interne in the Old City hospital of Kansas City and began the practice of medicine in 1914. He wishes to have it understood that no one applying to him for treatment will be turned away, money or no money The people of all races can feel that he will give them first class service. We trust the paediatricians will recommend such patients to Dr. Fletcher and not attempt to handle this important line of work themselves. When a specialist is needed, do not be a hog.

Harding nominated today, Lawyer Arthur G. Froe, of West Virginia, for the Position of Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. The nomination was sent to the Senate for confirmation. The position of recorder of deeds was first tendered to Henry Lincoln Johnson, national committeeman from Georgia, but who failed to be confirmed by the Senate on account of opposition by Senator Watson of that state. WITNESS TESTIFIES COLORED MAJOR SHOT SOLDIER, FOR... REFUSING TO CUT BREAD Washington, D. C., Feb. 3.—Resuming its inquiry into charges of alleged illegal executions of American soldiers overseas, the special Senate investigating committee was told today by Henry Gentry, of Lawrence Kansas, that in France, he saw Maj. Joseph Phillips, of Orange New Jersey, shoot William Patterson, a private for refusing to cut bread. All the men involved were colored. Gentry, who testified while an ambulance waited outside the senate office building to take him to a hospital to be operated on for appendicitis, said Patterson later died, according to general reports, and that so far as he knew the major was not tried. "Do you know of your own knowledge that Patterson died?" Gentry was asked. "No, sir but he went to the hospital and never came back." Major Joseph Phillips entered the officers training school at Fort Demolines, Ia., at the outbreak of the war and was one of the few Colored officers to win a captain's commission. He was assigned to Camp Sherman with the 317th Engineers and the 125th Field Signal Battalion and later went overseas to become a part of the 92nd division. For meritorious conduct in the face of the enemy he was promoted to the rank of major. RACE SHOCKED BY APPOINTMENT OF WHITE REGISTER For First Time In Forty Years Republican President Appoint's A White Man To Treasury Post Washington, Jan. 10 - Complying with the request of a number of democratic subordinate in the office of the Register of the Treasury holdovers from the Wilson administration, most of whom come from the solid Democratic South President Harding failed to appoint a colored man to this position It was generally expected that Charles V. Cottrill, of Toledo who had tendered excellent service in the last campaign, would be appointed to the place. Now that a white man has been appointed the colored people are naturally asking what are they to get at the hands of the Harling administration. The appointee is Harley V. Speelman, of Marlton, Ohio who is said to be without any affiliation and who was a subordinate in the bureau under the Wilson administration. Mr Speelman was promptly confirmed by the Senate. The place pays $4,000 annually. AMERICAN AFRICAN TOURIST COMPANY SUED FOR REFUND Philadelphia, Pa. Feb. 1st. Inability of the American African Tourist Com- pany to secure a ship for its tour to Liberia or to refund passage money of tourists led to a suit in the muni- cipal court last week. The first suit was that of Samuel H. Peters against Rev W. H. Tern- gin, Rev H. W. Callia, Rev L. G. Jordan, Dr R R Wright Wm H. York Miss Nance Burroughs Blach- on W H Heard and Mrs. Maggie Walker to recover the sum of 1891 for one first-class passage between America and Monrova, Liberia. Fort- sive persons, it is said, have made their passage money in full or in part. SOCIAL EQUALITY IS FUNNY TO LIBERIANS MONROVIA, LIBERIA W. A., Jan. 10—Poking fun at the battle the colored man is making in America for racial equality, the Liberian News, published here, says the situation is reversed in West Africa. Say the News: "We are pleased to say for general information that we are neither Garveyites nor Duboisites, and we are not members of the U. N. I. A., nor the N. A. A. C. P., but we are true Liberians, and we do not contend for social equality, for it is a thing that is altogether foreign to us in this country; for we are at the topmost rung of the ladder. Whoever comes to this country, whether they be British, French or American, they must contend for social equality with us; but in our opinion it is not social equality, that the Negro of American wants, so we think he wants social justice and equal opportunity."

The presiding elder, Rev. J. C. C. Owens held his first meeting this year, making us a month behind. Rev Smith and Rev. Rrud, white masters, preached at the A.M.E church. There men are missionaries and we believe them to be true christians. They gave our pastors clothes, shoes, and groceries. We wish there were more white men like them, but they are few and far between. Revs, Owens, Whitecomb and King, were breakfast guests of Mr., and Mrs. E. W Fine. They were also dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. G. W Arnold at four. Mrs Molleie Fields and daughter, Freda, came over from Baxter, Mo. and visited the R J. White family last week Mrs. Fields is a sister of Mr. White, who is reported quite ill at this writing. Mrs Elise Fine went to Kansas City to visit her mother who is ill there. She also visited Mrs. Jean Wilson, her daughter. Mr. T W. Fine of Wichita, is visiting his mother, Mrs. Sarah Fine. The Mite Missionary Society met with Mrs. Henry Downing. Refreshments were served. MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA Well, we have succeeded in causing an investigation into the true condition of a certain lodge. The "Old Fox" is jumping high trying to stop the loss of membership. Rev. Steward, the erstwhile Methodist minister deplores the Negroes leaving the South and the manner the Methodists use water. Steward has a good thing in the Baptist ranch. Rev. S. S. Jones bagged about 50 converts and baptised them last Sunday. Mr. Bacon of Chicago and wife, are visiting their daughter, Mrs. L. M. Banks, of this city. Mr. Bacon is rated as being strong financially. Theo Stewardess sisters of Beebe Chapel presented Mrs. Calm with a noble Bible last week in token for her services in the church. Mrs. Calm is the mother of Dr. Waterford. The family will leave for Chicago where doctor will open a drug store. Mr Jeff Thompson has resumed the candy business. He is one of our promising young men who will make good. Finding Negroes on denomination at will is a pastime of certain weak ministers. Making the less informed think they have the only copyright on heaven. Great Chancellor Wickham was here last week and arranged a big member's drive. The whole town is stirred up about Pathianism. Now is the time for the church to show its charity. The streets are filled with hungry men, women and children. More pork and less prayer more soup and less singing, more slow and less shorting. The Salvation Army is feeding the hungry of the white race, while the Negro ministers are demanding more salary for themselves. It puracy. The American Legion of the Gen Walker Camp has perfected a strong organization. Dr H H Henry has taken up his office in the Navy building, in the suite formally occupied by Dr Waterford. The doctor is one of our old Texas friends. Would it not be grand if the secret fraternities would decide to go into business. Let each order operate a wholesale house and the bivalves operate stores over the country. As an example, suppose the K of P would operate the grocery business, the wherever a local is bad, its members would have a grocery store That's business. We are still folks about the passions and prizes, paradoxal cheap parachutes and limbs. When will we get beyond the infant period. The Lincoln League was an incubator which out political jobs for the "War Horses." Perry Howard is the only one thus far that has had a "open to" After all the passing of a French ing ball is no more to the Nero than all the Federal jobs. The next thing we want is the ballot and with this we will not "OURS." The Nero ministers would make the local "gun man." That is if you don't show them out the coin something useful will happen to you. The little print is hotting things down at the First Depot, and the printing of a cover by him will put the "Old Church" out of the running. Commissioners will leave for Mexico this month to arrange for the big colonization. The affair will be made with the president. Without the ballot, we are lost children in the world. Nothing but the ballot will cure the race trouble. To talk anything else is inviting more trouble. The unveiling of the Ragsdale monument last Sunday was a high day in the circles of the Odd Fellows Each day the Nermos in the South are being enlisted. They are doing everything they did in 1860 with the exception of auctioning him off on the block. We will soon have three undertakes in the city. It may be that the Trust will soon be broken up by open competition. It takes about $12.50 to complete a coffin that sells for $150.00. There is no graft that compels the undertaking business Antioch has purchased a bible or can for its rebohr. The cost was $450.00. That sounds good, but it deceased members. Col. Jefferson has made good along all lines. He really is a man who does things. Mr. Cecil Taylor, one of Holley's substantial citizens was here last Saturday.

Our denominations in their attempt to excel each other, diversify the attention and services of the Negro from, not only Christianity, but economy, education, industry, politics and racial consciousness. Any race that puts its denominations above the welfare of the race is doomed. Let down your buckets where you are, does not mean to stay there, if there be no water. The driller moves when he strikes a dry hole. It is moving day for the American Negro. The Negro preachers who are getting money from the white southern churches will fight to the last ditch anything that is not in sympathy with the South. It is for this reason on the ignorant plantation Negro is being made peons. The Georgia preachers knew all about William's death farm. "Getting by" has mortgaged the manhood of the American Negro life delights in telling himself a lie he pretends to see something great ahead for himself. Whenever you see a Negro galavanting thru the South lecturing, put it down he is a whiteman's Negro. Otherwise he would not be allowed to spew his deceitful allime on a harmless race. Each administration is showing less consideration to the Negro. The reason is quite evident. His inability to organize and fight for justice destroys for him all the rights of a full fledged citizen. Old Pharoh strenuously objected to the Israelites leaving Egypt. He wanted their free labor. He gave all kinds of excuses, in fact, Amon had to put on a few hard miracles to convince him. This is true of the Southern Negro preacher. "Oh, that my head were wagers, and mine eyes a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and night for the stain of the daughters of my people." Jeremiah 9-1. Millions for a fetish denomination, not a cent for liberty, freedom, justice and the sanctity of our homes. Wash women, barefoot old men, hungry children, all must contribute to this system that the preacher may have an automobile and wallow in luxury. One Lord, One Faith. One Baptism. One Church. One destiny. One Race. How long, O Lord, how long will this people be drunk over a denominational system that destroys, degrades, debases and makes them slaves. Whether to go to Mexico where we can get liberty, health, wealth, justice and ther build up a strong aggressive, self respecting race or stay here and be mobbed, lynched, enslaved, prostituted, disfranchised, and finally destroyed, is the question. The Odd Fellow are putting out a very nice monument over their man on last Sunday. Wm Foster was in Wakarnas with four hogs which weighed 3700 pounds. He also butchered two hogs, one weighing 260 pounds, and the other 650, making a total of 1400 pounds. From these he rendered 335 pounds of lard and made 100 pounds of Sausage and 89 pounds of head cheese. All farmers with the necessary credential, speak-up and defend yourselves. Messara. Thos Job. R. T. Mercer. Sam Heberlin, Eugene Foster, Mr. and Mrs. Foster and Mrs. Job were a day and a half butchering three two animals. Wm. Foster was marketing Kaffir corn in Topeka and Pauline last week. Dean Editor: I was reading in the last issue of the paper your trip thru Oklahoma and I was very glad to hear of the splendid business our business men and farmers are doing in that section. If it is true as you say that our preachers are doing more to keep our people in town than anything else, instead of advising them to scatter out in the country where they would have an equal show with the white man and enjoy the pure air and opportunity that is awaiting them in the place of telling them to give their last dollar to the church and God would give them two for every one they gave, this is a sad mistake. The day has come for doctrine of that sort to cease. If the Black man ever expects to have anything and on the level with other men, he must get duay and do for himself. If he waits for some one to do for him, the race will forever be behind. Our race is naturally a race of farmers and the sooner we turn to our natural calling, the sooner we will rise to our level of other races. Let me say to one and all from my own experience, that farming is the best occupation and the most independent occupation in the country. Listen, Mr. Black Man, now is your opportunity to get to the country. The white man is getting tired of work and he is leaving the farm and going to the city, just as they did in the early eighties, during the boom in the cities. That is the time I has been sued in the above named Court by the said plaintiff, and that he must answer the same on or before the 27th day of February, 1922, or the allegations therein contained will be taken as true and a judgment rendered in said Court against you, divorcing plaintiff from you, the defendant and granting to plaintiff the care and custody of their child.
