THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR NUMBER EIGHT Tri-Council of Methodist Bishop's at Montgomery, Alabama. A.M.E's. Suspend Ira T. Bryant --- By CHAS. STEWART. Montgomery, Ala., Feb. 22. From the enthusiastic meeting of the Bishops of the African Methodist Episcopal church, African Methodist Episcopal Zion and the Colored Methodist Episcopal church, one would be impressed that organic Union is in sight, the only thing necessary to complete would be the working out of some minor details. Within a short time now all will use the same hymnal, for it was agreed to publish one Methodist Hymnal to be used by the three branches, and one common Catechism for the use of all and will tend to aid the ministry and those doing missionary work. Until the plans are worked out in the future there will be no conflict between the local church, but they will acclaim with one accord "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." The tri-council elected as chairmen the three senior bishops of the churoes: Bishops Benjamin Franklin Lee of the A.M.E. church, Bishop J. S. Caldwell, of the A.M.E. Zion and Bishop R. S. Williams of the C.M. E. Several thousand people crowded in St John A. M. E. church last Friday and were present when Bishop Blackwell preached the opening sermon. He discussed Suicide.

F. grims more fierce. We hope the claimants will succeed in getting their claims adjusted. Deniate dodging, seeking excuses do not help the order. Come on Peter with the money. The State Bar Association closed here after a most successful meeting. The political, legal and commercial success of the race depends largely upon the colored attorney. The quicker the Negroes learn this, the better will be his chances. It is foolish to suppose that the whiteman will get for the Negro anything the whites oppose. The question of guardian could be easily settled if the race would stand squarely behind the Negro lawyer. It is often hard to get a test case. The State Teacher's Association closed with a wonderful program. It seems from the attendance that the women are taking the profession from the men. This is to be regretted. We need real strong men in the schools. It may be alright for the whites to make the profession female, but we have not ascended so high in the ladder of civilization to assign the educational future to the hands of a dancing, card playing group of school marms. The recent death rate in proportion to the number of citizens in this city has led many to think this is a very unhealthy place to live. They are now stopping the colored people who are operating exclusive barbershops for white, from doing business in many of the large cities. The move is now on in Muskogee. We may be a little out of date, but we cannot repose full confidence in those teachers who dance and play cards. To argue that the whites practice such is no comfort to us. We have long since declared the white man as an unfit moral guide. His sense of justice and honor has stopped his claims. One Rev. Hercles is here trying to get the American Negro Baptists to to have a World meeting in London. Brother Hercules is from London. I don't know the why of this world State Historical Society Newspaper Section TOPE NUMBER EIGHT I IS PROBABLE. of Methodist Montgomery, and Ira T. Bryant There was a great address delivered Friday night by Bishop E. Cottrell on Union. There were many other speakers. In this number were the Bishops W. D. Chappell, C. S. Smith, C. H. Phillips, George C. Clement, Joshua A. Jones. At times the fur was flying on the race question. Prof. John R. Hawkins, reported that over a million dollars had been subscribed on the five million dollar drive. The bishops of the A.M.E. church had many knotty problems. IRA BRYANT SUSPENDED ... The main problem being the open attack made by Secretary Ira T. Bryant, of the Sunday School Union. This attack was made on all Negro bishops. Bishop C. S. Smith, read to the three other churches represented an apology, and assured them that the resignation of Secretary Bryant had been demanded and in case of refusal he would be swamped by the Board of Managers. The power of the Board to do this, there was a disagreement in the cuncil, resulting in Bishop J. S. Flipper resigning as chairman of the Board of Managers and Bishop W. D. Chappell was elected. The A. M. E. bishops selected Columbia, S. C., for their mid-winter session and the June meeting will be held in New York City, at Bethel A. M. E. church, Dr. M. W Thornton, pastor, Dr. Thornton is before the church for episcopal honors. meeting unless it is to make a display of denominational epistemia. We aernestly hope that the secret orders will some day get down to business, too much time is being lost in preparing for burials. No wonder the Negro can ever hear 'death bells.' If it is in the lodge room, it is death, if it is in church, it is death. So much of this 'stuff' is encouraging death rates among the Negroes. Just why an army of American Negro preachers should go galavanting into London at the expense of the already over burdened Negroes these hard times, the Rev. Hercules has not said. Yet he and a few Negro preachers have gotten together to have this done this year. After all, Garvey's scheme is quite tame to the denominational graft. We have just been used to so many denominations until we think it wrong to be criticized. We really feel it our duty to have all these churches. This is because no one has had the tenacity to tell us what an army of church uses we are. The Race must learn to respect and honor the Negro lawyer as he has the Negro physician. We must however, place the ministry above all vocations. This does not mean a church on every corner, or that the race must be sacrificed for a multitude of denominations. We some how, just prefer christian teachers. The card playing and dancing teacher can never conform to our idea of moral leaders. Mr. Thomas has gotten out a charter for the Mason's. He claims his the only regularly constituted order of Free masonry, Hiram, No. 7. Headquarters are located in Haiti. It is such an easy matter for the various lodges to go into the making of coffins. We have several men who are proficient in this line of business. The following persons are fighting for claims which are due them from the women's department of the U. B F., Mrs. Susie Bullard, Mrs. Maggie Neal, both of Okla, City, and the heirs of the late Pollie Clayton of this city. Mrs. Clayton was killed August 1920, by her husband, to whom the claim was made. He was convicted to the penitentiary for life and consigned the claim to his little daughter. This claim has never TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 24, 1922 PASADENA, CALIFORNIA (By Mrs. H. Jones) On the 3rd Sunday in February, a great Mass meeting was held at Friendship Baptist church, by the Junior Missionary Society. The speaker was Dr. Harry Jones, returned Missionary from Africa. Sunday, March 5th, the Senior Missionary Society is looking forward to another big day. The speaker for this day is the Rev. Gant, of the Methodist church of Los Angeles, Cal., who comes to us as a wonderful speaker. These auxiliaries are striving to go 'over the top' in a financial way so as to help the trustees to meet their financial obligations toward building their new Greater Friendship Baptist church.

The First A. M. E church, G. L. Cooper, pastor, formerly of Georgia, celebrated the anniversary of Bishop Richard Allen, first bishop and the founder of the African Methodist Episcopal church. The Sunday services were very appropriate ones. PITTSBURG, KANSAS .. By Mrs. Nettie Hudson Mrs Callie Lewis is ill at her home.

A big stink is brewing in Masonle circles. We hope the two bodies will get together without any great hurt to any one-God bless the Craft. The county and city physicians had a successful meeting here this week. Dr Teague was elected president to succeed Dr Waterford, who will soon leave the city. We have a most splendid set of physicians. We have learned to trust the Negro doctor, why not the lawyer and men of our race in all the professions?

The Editor in Old Missouri. We visited Fort Scott, Girard, Pittsburg, Carthage, Joplin, Nevada, Butler, Harrisonville and Independence, Missouri. At Fort Scott, we found that the town is growing and there are very few idle people to be found. Dr. McLemore, one of the veteran physicians, is doing well and has a large practice. It is a social pleasure to sit in his office and observe the two races who crowd his office. This is a good opening for another physician. We are proud to find a young man, Mr. W. G. Saunders, who has opened up a first-class grocery store and has a good trade. He is located on East First street in the building owned by members of the race. His wife assists him in the business. He has an auto delivery. He first started out, on a vegetable truck working for a white man. He decided in the last two years that he could do business for himself and is now enjoying the trade of both races. This is a fine example for the younger people of the race. Mr. A. G. Hall and wife, who own the restaurant and a half of a block of buildings, also a first-class rooming house, are among the most progressive young people in Fort Scott. Mr. Hall has been connected with the Calhoun Dry Goods company for sixteen years. We had the pleasure of seeing a check for One Hundred Dollars given him by this company as a bonus. This has been done for the past six years. The race in this place owns a number of nice homes. Mr. Chester Hill owns a fine home as well as Mr. J. H. Colwell. We also note the plan under way for the construction of a new school building to cost several thousand dollars, to be of the latest design and equipped with all modern appliances and equipment. Prof. Ernest J. Hawkins, the principal states it will be a fine one and no better will be found in the state, when finished Mr. Thomason is one of Fort Scott's master brick masons, is a member of the union and is said to be one of the finest workman in the country. He has two sons, Petter and Paul, who are very enterprising and are making good in school. He owns two pieces of property and enjoys the companionship of a good wife and family. Rev. Tillman, pastor of the A M H church of this city is getting along nicely. Mr. J. W Veterinarian is one of the finest in the country. Here is a young man we would be pleased to see on the staff of the State Veterinary department. He is competent and fully qualified for the position. He is married and has a good wife to help keep things straight. Miss Susie Daniels our correspondent is a very fine and accomplished woman and one of the finest caterers in this section. While here we had a little misapprehension, not only about losing a good correspondent, but because Port Scott would lose a good citizen. Our suspicions were aroused from the fact that we met one Mr Price of Daulling, Kansas, a prosperous farmer. He came all the way to Port Scott, extensively to look over the city and surrounding country but it seems that Miss Daniels was the attraction. The rumor in Port Scott is that the next time he returns he expects to reduce the population of that city. They have the best wishes of the Plaindenier. Miss Daniels is a very efficient and competent woman and surely knows how to preclude over a household. Prof. W. Watson one of the assistant teachers in the public schools is a progressive young man and we hope his honey-moon will last forever. He married Miss Bruce, one of Fort Scott's progressive young women. R H. Curtis is still in the Union Station is a property owner and is doing well Mr. Robert Curtis is a stone mason, a fine mechanic and making good. SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI Here we find a very progressive group of race people who are keeping a high standard along business lines. They own four good grocery stores which cater to the best class of both races. Three fine churches, PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR two physicians and one drug store, a number of barber shops, a pool hall and a fairly good restaurant, which could be improved. Dr. E. A. Surgeon and physician is a great race man and enjoys a lucrative. He is one of the surgeons for the Frisco railroad, owns good property and a firm believer in his race and their rights. It is rumored that he is contemplating establishing a hospital in the near future. Another practicing physician is Dr. B. Clark. He also owns one of the finest drug stores to be found any place. His fixtures are up to the minute and we have never seen a finer equipped store anywhere. The doctor owns a honeyside residence and has just recently purchased ten acres of land in the suburbs of the city. His wife is a registered pharmacist and assists him in the business. Mr. Chas. Patton, who has been with the Reed Hardware store, for the past twenty years is a mechanic and stands well in the community. He is well versed in the hardware business and was with the firm before the young men who are now managing it before their father died. Mr. Patton has a wife and family, owns a nice home and is one of the leading officers of the U. B. F. Lodge, is also a charter member of the Baptist church and a leading citizen. This hardware firm is one of the largest in the city. II. R. Rollins has a fine family grocery store on Washington street and is prospering. Mr. V. Tyndall of Washington street has one of the finest little meat markets and grocery stores we have found anywhere. He is a butcher by trade and makes a specialty of his hamburger and sausage and other things on the market and keeps a first-class line of meats. He enjoys a large trade among both races. He has lived in Springfield all his life. While in this city we were the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Mrs. Thompson. He has been with the Prison on the President's private car for a number of years. They are the proud possessors of a beautiful home and his wife was formerly Miss Pearl Turner of Fort Scott. She is a refined, cultured lady and a fine housekeeper. She is a queen in the culinary art Mr A D. Freeman owns a fine home, barber shop and pool hall and is one of the old substantial citizens of the city. We are glad to say that the Rev. G. Mc K Miller, pastor of the only Presbyterian church, is doing well. He was a former pastor in Topeka and married Miss Thompson, one of our leading young women and they are enjoying the company of two children. He is succeeding and has raised over Three Thousand, Five hundred dollars and has paid off the church debt. Both races in this city seem to get alright nicely. The colored people control one of the largest barber shops in the town and are enjoying a large white trade. Mr Edw Drew, one of the progressive citizens, conducts a pool ball and lunch counter, and is a man who has a great interest in his rule. Our old friend at the bank is still on the job and is one of the most Our old friend at the bank is still on the job and is one of the most highly respected citizens in the community. Mr. A. Andrews, who is a clerk at the Nathan's Clothing store is one of the leading young men of the town and for the past fourteen years has held this responsible position working from the bottom up. He is now a full fledged clerk, and the only colored man we know of who occupies a similar position. He was married last September to one of the leading young women of this city and they are now enjoying their honey moon. Mrs. Bertha B. Cooper is our correspondent, and agent. Her husband is one of the finest chefs in the business, but was recently stricken ot his post of duty at Okmulgee, Oklahoma. He is now getting better.

From Western Christian Recorder "A broad view of world conditions, relative to interracial relations, easily leads to the conclusion that the prevailing and universal sentiment of the white races of the earth is: that the darker races must not, and shall not have an equal show in the struggle for existence. However, that this sentiment cannot be fully translated into conditional facts, is also true. I judge that most, (at least) of the statesmen of the white races believe that this can be $b_{0}$ done, and while the present and perhaps a few generations of the future, may not see the folly of this faith, it is true, nevertheless, that the change must, will, and shall come. It is out of the reams of any good reason to suppose that a race that has produced in so short a time the scholars, orators, business men, statesmen and men of science, that the colored race has produced, could by any human agency, be forever kept at the bottom. Gentlemen, it simply cannot be done." Recently it was mentioned in these columns that at the L. & N. station at New Orleans, colored people had to come out of their waiting room and walk some distance outside to the smoking room of the whites to buy tickets. Since going to Mobile, Ala, I wish to poligize to the L. & N. for what was said about its arrangements in New Orleans. As in Mobile, at the station of the L. & N. colored people are not allowed inside the room where tickets are sold, but must buy them from a window outside of the building. In talking with a white merchant at Birmingham, Ala., he said he did not see why the colored people would stay in the South to be lynched and burned alive, and to be subjected to all sorts of abuse. He said the treatment given them was so cruel and unjust that he could not see how any people could stand it. He said that he was going to leave the South himself as soon as he could straighten out his business. A pretty competent witness. At Hammond, La, I was told that colored people are not allowed to stand on the front of the railroad station to wait for a train, but are forced to stand at the rear, and out of sight until the train gets in. The laymen of all Methodist churches are getting hard headed and stubborn. This Methodist monarchal doctrine is being distasteful and pretty soon they are going to disregard the color's prescription and have recourse to "Home Remedies."

IN SCHRIDING FOR A RACE PAPER YOU KEEP INFORMED ON ALL MATTERS AFFECTING THE RACE. E. R. 'Gene' Hayes Candidate for AUGUST 1, 1922, TUESDAY I am a candidate for county commissioner from the first district of Shawnee county subject to the republican primaries August 1. I have lived in Kansas 47 years, was brought up on a farm, educated at Kansas State Normal, graduating in the class of '94, taught school for several years worked two years for the Santa Fe railroad, company after which I took up farming for a life profession and have been actively engaged in real dirt farming in Rosvill for the past 20 years. Considering that Rossville has not had a representative in the court house since it was built and that this is an important part of the district and entitled to some recognition certainly the rest of the district can not accuse us of being selfish in the matter. I believe in good roads and public improvements but in view of the financial situation at present, I believe it is our duty to be as economical as possible with the public fund. I do not ask you to rely on my campaign promise as to my future conduct but point to my record on the township board where I am serving as trustee. We anticipated conditions and reduced our tax levy last yea two thids. Our taxees in Rossville township are lower this year than last.
