THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR NUMBER NINE EVANSTON HOLDS BIG CELEBRATION EVANSTON HOLDS BIG CELEBRATION Special to Plaindealer. Evanston, Ill., Feb. 22.—A mammoth audience assembled in the Mt. Zion Baptist church of Evanston last Sunday afternoon, Feb. 12th, for the Lincoln-Douglass Celebration. The Rev. Dr. Edw. P. Jones, the president of the National Baptist Convention (Unincorporated) presided. Chas. Batchell Morris, Jr., brilliant and eminent young colored orator, a senior in the University of Chicago where he stands in the front bank of his class, was the principal speaker of the occasion. He chose as his subject: "Lincoln and Douglas: Nature's Grandest Noblemen." He said in part: "There is a profound similarity between Lincoln and Douglas. It is true that one was white; the other black, but basically there was no such distinction. The great coloured Stateman hurled forensic thunderbolts from a thousand Amer can platforms. He paved the way for the sublime Lincoln to write the Emancipation Proclamation, with the blazing stroke of a diamond pen. He shall forever live is the crystal castle of undying memory. Millions of struggling black boys and girls small emulate the potion saint of a grateful race. Liberty was Lincoln's accepte and justice, his gilded throne. A man of sorrow and acquainted with grief one from the ranks of toll, he stood out as the sovereign of the modern ages. His life proves again that all men love the hero and despise the coward. Maryland gave us a promise; Kentucky a fulfillment;" At night young Morris addressed the largest audience that ever jammed Bersan Baptist church, Chicago, at another colossal memorial service. He is residing while attending the University at 4450 Prairie avenue, Chicago. Madam Camille Cohen Jones, beautiful lyric soprano, the daughter of the noted Walter L. Cohen, of New Orleans, was the soloist at the afternoon meeting singing in French. She is one of the most accomplished artists in America. The celebration was one of the most successful ever staged in this section. LEAVENWORTH, KANSAS John E. Jeltz, G.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 3, 1922 SNOWBOUND As the Plaindealer goes to press we received a wire from the Editor who is snow-bound 300 miles from Topeka and 12 miles from a railway station, at the home of Mr. Arthur Robinson near Great Bend. We feel that he is at ease, how ever, and have visions of the fresh country-hams, eggs, hot biscuits and good old home cooking, that he is devouring. He has nothing to do out there but eat, then eat some more, sleep a while and then eat again. Luck to you Editor. MUSKOGEE, OKLAHOMA By J. B. MASON The State Teacher's Association just adjourned was one of the greatest in the state. The brightest lights of the race were present. It is indeed evident that we are making a great success. It is foolishness to attempt to stop the progress of a race who can furnish such an array of intelligence. Much constructive work was accomplished and several important resolutions were passed. The endorsement of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, the demanding of equal pay for colored teachers, the publishing of a school magazine and the demand for a Negro supervisor, were among the things done. Muskogee maintained her reputation for hospitality, generosity and all around push during the season. Many of the "Old Guard" were absent, some have gone the long, long road, others have entered other professions. The line is sadly broken. The death of Mr. Sidney Davis a few days ago came as a shock to his many friends. For many years Mr. Davis was a letter carrier here he left for Chicago where he worked several years in the Postal service. But by continued illness he was forced to return home to his mother and friends. The community extends sympathy to the bereaved. Mr. Hunter of Pittsburg, Pa., a banker, preacher and all around burial press man, spoke in the city last Tuesday night to an appreciative audience. Negroes must learn some sense. The indictment of Garvey was not on account of any love the whites have for us. The back ground is to break up Negro unity, destroy leadership and further confuse the Race. Why don't they go into the South and arrest the Peon-masters? The Negro who can not see the point in view, is indeed very stupid. The address made by Mr. Shaw of Mississippi, would have made Vrdeman, Williams and their ilk of "black guards" look like a penny. The local teachers under the leadership of Prof. Grissom deserve much credit. Really we would be lost without out Mrs. Clark. Prof Weaver of this city was elected president of the State Teacher's Association Mr. Weaver is a brilliant young man and will reflect credit on the organization. Our old friend Dungee was mixing with the crowd, bowing, smiling and making hay. Hon. J. J Bruce spent the week in a law-suit in Okmulgee. The Negro attorneys are making good where they are given a chance. It is not the man but the party to which he belongs. This idea must be made clear to our people. For this reason we must not confuse a few personal favors with giving he wrong party our support. There a no reasons, whatever why Negro should vote the state Democrat ticket. There are those who we reelected by the abuse of the Negro a few years ago. They now come asking the Colored man for his support. Those who stood in the way of the fair-election bill during the last legislature should not expect the vote of the Race. But some of our leaders forget so quick. We need a New Propaganda We need a new Church program, lodge program, political program. Yes, we need a new program. Mr Martin, the Endowment secretary of the U. B. F. claims that the voucher for the payment of the heirs of the Paston woman has been issued two years ago. But Mart, it has not reached here as yet. Who has the voucher? These children are suffering. Rev. Dr. Leonard of Texas is as- slating Rev. Short in a big protracted meeting. Rev. Shaw is making good at Central. We are not standing for anything crooked, but the government should go further in its investigation of those who are robbing the Negro. Here in Oklahoma, every Negro ward to a few exceptions has a white man as a guardian. Millions of dollars of the Negro's money go for the upkeep and support of the whites whose homes they dart to enter. It is alright for the whites to rob the Race, but the minute our people forms an organization, the government begins to nose in and start something. Some of our misguided ministers are aking capital of the arrest of Marcus Garrey. They should consider the motive behind his arrest. The time has come for us to consider, the hurt of one as the concern of all. It sounds real vulgar to hear that the government has become suspiciously interested in not having the poor Negroes fleeced. "Great Balls of Fire." A BUSINESS WOMAN A. MR.S.ADA BARTON COULTER About seventeen years ago there came to Kansas and located in Wichita, a penniless woman of our race. Although without funds, she was determined to push ahead and enter the business world. Today Mrs. Ada Barton Coulter, the subject of this sketch has retired from active business and settled down for a rest from her long years of work in her line, which has netted her sufficient funds to support her for some years on merely the income of her investments. Mrs. Coulter has employed her note, Miss Minnie Hardy as her housekeeper, at a handsome salary and will now take life easy. HARRISONVILLE, MO. Mr Ben Webster lost quite a few of his household goods in the recent fire which consumed the house of Mrs. Corn Richie, of which he was a tenant. It is regrettable that the insurance had just expired. The Second Baptist church on N Lexington street closed a two weeks protracted meeting. We are sorry to say there were no conversions. About 40 were reclaimed. Rev Gatewood of Independence delivered unto the waiting congregation the word of God in his forceful manner. Rev. White was a great help to Rev, Gatewood during the revival. Mr Thomas Elliott has returned from the city, but is not improving rapidly. Mr and Mrs Fred Thomas were guests in the home of their son and daughter, Mr. and Mrs McAfee, in Kansas City, a few days last week. We notice East Pine street has a strong attraction every Sunday afternoon for two certain ones of the younger set, Ha, Ha. Mr B. P. Martin attended lodge in Kansas City last week. Grandmother Martin has been very poorly owing to her advanced age, but has rallied considerably in the last few days. Mr Willie Lee is reported among the sick. He is convulsing rapidly from the Flu. Mrs, Leo McGruder is ill with the Flu and is still quite sick at this notice. evening and attended a church social. Mr. and Miv. Leo McGruder, Mrs. J Lee and Mesers] Willie and Lonnie Lee attended a Valentine social at Pleasant Hill and report a fine time. Mr. Nick Chiles, editor of the Topeka Plaindealer, was in our town recently in the interest of his paper. While here he was a guest at the Davidson home. We are always glad to have Editor Chiles in our midst and in our homes. He is functioning a noble work in behalf of this place. We all should stand heroically for him and his paper. Do not be surprised if you should hear the tinkle of wedding bells calling one of Kansas City's fair ones to a nest built for two in Harrisonville. BEG PARDON There was a slight error made in the last issue of Harrisonville correspondence in that the name of our correspondent was given as (Miss) M. E. Davidson instead of Mrs. E. Davidson. Managing Editor Mrs. Oma Bush was down from the city on real estate business last week remaining only a short while. Miss Winnafred A. Davidson has been quite ill suffering dreadfully with her eyes. She is reported better at this writing. Mr. and Mrs. A. Allen's baby has been seriously ill but is convexescing now. DEAN MPORE QUITS LINCOLN RESERVE INSURANCE CO Jacksonville, Fla., Mar. 1.-Dr. L. R Moore, formerly Dean of Howard University, Washington, D. C., has recently resigned the position as the National Field Executive of the Lincoln Reserve Life Insurance company of this city.

At ten o'clock promptly the hostesses with their guests were ushered into the spacious dining hall which beamed forth, with patriotic decorations. Streamers of American colors extended from the ceding to the four corners of the banquet table. Here they were fastened over sprays of form, by silk American flags. In the center of the table was a miniature log-cabin setting on a plot of Kentucky moos, about which were a number of Senegambian children dressed in gaily colored sack garments, frolicking and rejoicing. The scene represented the action of the slave people when the Great Emancipator signed the Emancipation Proclamation. Before the plate of each guest was a miniature American flag and by club member's plate was an American Beauty rose, the club flower. During the dinner interesting anecdotes relating to the life of Lincoln were told; after the last course had been completed the program for the evening was rendered, consisting of toasts and after-dinner speeches. Miss Okelian Grant, the president, acted as Toastmistress in a most charming and gracious style. Attorney R. M. Van Dyne delivered the opening speech on Lincoln, the Martyr, which was a masterpiece and well received. Mr. A. Greene, followed with an able talk on Lincoln, the Man of Mercy. Mr. Tobey Owens on Lincoln, the Benefactor. Attorney Wm. Harrison in his able speech on Lincoln, the Logician, brought to bear the fact that our lawyers of today must follow the same principles as laid down by Lincoln.

WHAT WASHA-WA DID FOR "I have been taking Washa wa just seven days and now feel like a new man," says John Shields, a barber at 2213 Vine street, this city. Mr. Shields continued: "For many years I have suffered very much from stomach troubles and was absolutely unable to eat what I desired in the way of meats, vegetables and hot biscuits. Everything seemed to sour on my stomach and made me deathly sick. I sought relief through various physicians and spent considerable money in prescriptions, but all in vain. "And by the merest accident I was informed of Dr. Street's wonderful remedy, Washa-wa. I was standing in front of the eminent doctor's place viewing the horned snake in a glass case, when I overheard a lady speak of Washa-wa's marvelous curative powers, and I then and there made up my mind to try the great Indian herb medicine. "I feel it my duty to the public to speak of this wonderful remedy and the good it has done for me in so short a time. I have the highest praise for Dr. Street's remedy." Waishwa can be had at any of the leading drug stores of the city, or can be had directly from the Indian Herb Store, 2211 Vine street, Kansas City, Missouri.

TUESDAY FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONER 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 Rossville for the past 20 years. Considering that Rossy'lle 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. At the same time we have our roads and township work in good shape. If you approve of this platform at this time I would appreciate your support. B. G.
