THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. State Historical Society Newspaper Section EDITOR CHILES JAUNTS THRU THE STATE EDITOR CHILES JAUNTS THRU THE STATE (Continued from last week.) We visited Judge Wall's Court Room and found Prince Edwards, the Bailiff much at home. He is the only colored man we know of anywhere in this section of the West holding a such a position in the state Court Judge Pollock of the United states court has a Colored man as Bailiff also. The Prince is very influential with the leading people of Wichita, and has a high standing with every one for he is known far and near as a great lodge and church man. He was married a short time ago to Mrs. A. B Anderson, a beautiful, and comely widow who owns good property. W. G. Curtis is holding a fine job as stock cutter for one of the largest job houses in the West, being the only one of which we know who cuts paper and keeps stock. He is a fine Christian gentleman and can make good anywhere. We hope he will hold the job as long as he lives and that he will teach some good young colored man the trade, that he may succeed him in this position. Lawyer Lighn is all covered with smiles on account of his little sweet baby, no troubles and easy to get along with now. He wins his law suits with ease. We stopped over with our old friends, Frank Montgomery and wife. They have made some costly improvements on their home and now have bath, lavatory and sleeping porch Mrs. R. C. Lee is conducting a store. Rev. Wm. Tyler, pastor of Bethel A. M E. church is putting on a $3000 rally for a new brick church. He was invited to a luncheon with the Chamber of Commerce. Mr. Ralph Franklin has built his mother, Mrs. Carrie Franklin, a fine modern bungalow. It is certainly a 'beaut' He is a fine young man who is an employ of the Catholic hospital, at which job he has been for years. Here is an oil community. We found one colored shoe shining stand which is making money, one barber shop and a lunch counter. The Rev, L. A. Storey, pastor of the C. M. E. church has bought a whole block and will erect a church. H. is a fine young minister. Mr. Reuben Walker, is one of the pioneer citizens and owns good property. Rev. J. Reeves pastor of the Baptist church is doing some fine work. Here is a city of 35,000 population, of which about 2500 are colored. We find no separate schools, the children all receive fair play. Miss Pearl Renfro in the junior high school They have a young colored boy on the foot ball and basket ball teams and when they go away to play he has the same treatment as the others and the manager won't stand for nothing less. He has withdrawn the team from places on account of prejudice. The colorel people are doing good. They own several good homes, two restaurants, one store, auto painting shop, and a young man assistant manager of the packing house. Mr. Bert Ruddkk and he knows the business from A to Z. We stopped with the Rev. Henderson, the wide awake young minister who is waking up the people on the progress of the christian work. He has completed a fire bungalow, completely modern and furnished with Queen Ann furniture. It is just like a palace. He has the best church in Kansas There is nothing but loyalty and harmony among the congregation. They love and respect their minister and he does likewise. He says he has the best people in the world. His services are well attended and the young folks crowd his church for he always has something for them to do. The white people attend his church and enjoy his services. The Rev. is secretary of the Kansas Conference His little boy Jefferson and wife are the assistant pastors and they keep busy. We also spent an evening with Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Perkins, who own considerable property and just completed a fire bungalow which is bringing them $3500 per month income. She is a fine caterer and is kept busy. The Baptist church is on a split. The first church is in WINFIELD ELDORADA HUTCHINSON TOPE NUMBER THIRTEEN need of a pastor. County Superintendent S. R. Row- land is serving his 7th term and will serve his 8th. This is the home of Hon. W. Y. Morgan, editor of the Hutchinson News and who is candidate for Governor. He states that "he is firmly entrenched in the hearts of the Republican party and he only awaits the August primaries to announce his majority. Here is the county of Stafford, where so many colored people own land in such large quantities. So much of this land was homesteaded. You will find where children or relatives now work on farms which were homeasted by their parents. Where the land fell to foreign parties, the land is now in the possession of white men. We visited with our friend Arthur Robinson, who lives 12 miles south of the Bend and who is the administrator of the estate of his father and mother, consisting of 400 acres of land, and mules, horses, cattle, hogs and poultry. His mother who died December 8th last, was a fine Christian woman possessed with rare business ability. We missed her on this visit. She was indeed so pleasant and agreeable and delighted to see other people prosper. She cared her family to live and respect each other. She left two daughters and six sons who will carry out her wishes to stand together. She and her husband homesteaded 160 acres and there is no reason why this land should not forever remain in the Robinson family. All the boys own independent farms and homes. They own quarter sections of land in other counties, two are finished carpenters, others are fine farmers. Mr. Arthur Robinson who has managed the farm for his mother since the death of his father; was administrator and was appointed after the death of his mother. The other children have explicit confidence in him. He has over 600 acres of wheat looking fine. He is a student of the Kansas State Agricultural college, at Manhattan and is a first class farmer. Their 14 room house on the farm is as modern as the best home in Topeka, with baths, electric lights and telephone. He has his work shop where he repairs all of his farming implements, machinery of all kinds, cuts tires, does all kinds of wood work, shells corn, grinds chops or meal and is always ready for any emergency in his line of work. He is an unmarried young man, full of business, who never spends an idle hour. He is well versed on farm and business affairs in general. Since the death of his mother, his sister, Mrs. Mamie Pope, of Hutchinson, has come home and has charge of the house, chickens, eggs and butter. She fits in the mother's place. Here is hoping that no interloper will ever get where they can ever disturb the large estate which the old folks worked so hard to leave them to enjoy. Mr. Robinson is assisted on the farm by his mother's youngest child, Jesse and Johnnie Tyler, who is only 16 years old and who Mr. Robinson says is a fine young fellow and a good farmer. He can't take up anything about the farm and manage it as successful as he and is a fine progressive young fellow. We have never seen the equal of Johnnie. He was a student of the Topeka high school and withdrew to go to the farm and is making good His father and sisters visited in Topeka for a few days. We visited the home of Mr. G. W. Walker, who is also living on the land he homesteaded out five miles from Hudson. He owns 800 acres a fine 10 room house, horses, mules, cattle, hogs and poultry. He has a family of six boys and four girls. His wife is a fine industrius lady who is of the old Kentucky stock and came to Kansas in the early days. Mr. Walker is a fine Christian gentleman and a staunch race man. Mr Edw. Poole a bachelor came to Kansas in the early days and homesteaded. He now owns 1400 acres of land. He is a hard worker an honest man. Both the white and colored tenants on his places have the land in wheat. He is honest as the day is long. It is too bad he did not marry, as he certainly needs a wife. Mr. Calvin Harris owns four quarter sections of land, a modern home, just like living in the city. Miss Mary, the daughter keeps house and the second daughter teaches school in Oklahoma. Mr. Harris has a number of cattle, horses, hogs and mules. Miss Mary has chickens by the hundreds. All of these farmers own Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Micheaux live as two peas in a pod. They own 320 acres of rich fertile land, a nice home, cattle, hogs, mules and horses and poultry can not be counted. Her income on eggs and chickens alone is enough to keep them. His wife is full of energy and keeps things a moving. He is a lone man to deal with and his friends are many. Mr. Isaac Fouches is one of the young men who is going by leaps and bounds. He owns a large tract of land mostly in wheat, has a small herd of cattle, horses, tules and hogs. His wife is making the house expenses from her eggs and milk. She is a fine companion and enjoys life by doing church work and making it pleasant for her home and friends both of them are great church workers and have a host of friends. This young couple is happy, as each honor and respect each others wishes. They are buying more land Jacob Brown, wife and four daughters are among the happiest family in this section of the country. These young ladies take most all of the responsibility of their mother and see it that everything is kept up. Hot are good housekeepers and it will take a powerful worthy young man to pull them from that country ham, eggs and fresh milk. They are certainly proud of their parents and are beautiful young puals. The parents keep two good barking dogs and very few trees abound, so boys, you see what you have to go up against. Mr. Brown just inherited 240 acres of land willed to him by the late Mrs. Wheeler, a wealthy colored woman. Mr. Frank Robinson owns one of the best built and most convenient homes in the entire West, built by him, with the assistance of his brother, Harley. They have built several houses over the county and are getting all they can do. He owns and is interested in several farms. He and his wife are public spirted and great church workers and are doing much for the race. Hon. Ellsha Scott and 30 editor were snowbound on our second visit here. We certainly enjoyed ourselves. Rev. S. B. Anderson the pastor of the A. M. E. church and his bride are certainly living fine. He has bought his bride a handsome new bungalow all modern. On our first trip here fifteen days ago we visited with them. Mrs. Anderson is a fine cook and a splendid housekeeper They are certainly a happy couple The Plaindealer is certainly proud of the match as the Rev. is a fine minister and is full of business. He paid the church out of debt and made some improvements. He is now living in his own home and rents the parsonage out, which goes to the pastor and helps out. Ron, J. H. Ramey the veteran pastor of the Baptist church is doing fine. He is a business man and is still making the junk business go. He owns good farm and city property Mrs Ramey is a fine Christian worker and is as active as a sixteen year old girl. This old couple have done much for the race. Mr. and Mrs George Wells own a fine restaurant and cafe here and are doing well. We would like to see them add a small grocery stock to their business. There are excellent folks and own good property. Mrs Riley Gardner owns valuable property and together with her daughter are great church workers. Uncle Sam looks after her. Mr Gardner was a veteran of the Civil War and now his good wife enjoys the pension. Mrs Allen Boyt owns good property. Her husband went over seas came back an invalid. She is a fine industrious lady. Mr. E Selectman and family are well. He is a fine young man and will make his mark yet. TAG"DAY Mayor Corwine has declared Saturday, April 1st as Tag Day for St John A. M. E. church. The funds will be used for the flooring of the main auditorium. Please help the girls when they call on you. REV. B. F. ("Ben") WATSON Through all the land a wondrous voice The songs of Israel sung As from the vaulted heavens above Caught up and backward flung. Of wondrous range—now Scott's score In liquid overtone At will a grand sonorous base Penalled forth to acclaim its own His mellow tones wrought such up to real That I raft seemed nigh And real chars seemed chilling in Through all the radiant sky.

WATCH WATCH WATCH BIO FASHION SHOW-Metropolitan Hall, Monday night, April, 10. Admission 25 cents. PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR LANSING, KANSAS The following persons surprised Mrs. A. A.

On of the most successful features of the party was the real surprise to Mrs Weatherly, who did not have the least idea of the affair until this host of friends came in upon her giving her the surprise of her life. She received many beautiful presents. The Musical Memory contest held in Topeka a few days ago, in which all the city schools of both races were entered for the prizes, was a unique affair. The Colored people should feel proud of the achievement and wonderful showing made by their children in this contest where the race which hosts of superior brain power was contesting for the honors. This is conclusive evidence that the brain of a well developed child of either race when properly trained, together with equal opportunity, will function and in this case, the brain of the colored pupils showed superiority over the whites by an overwhelming proportion. Out of the twenty-one schools in this city, of which only four are colored, three of the colored schools took the first three prizes, leaving the fourth for the whites. This should be an object lesson for both races. God created all nations and all should revere the greatness of Him who doeth all things well, and that so long as all people observe the rights of others and live up to the Golden Rule, no prejudice will exist in the hearts of any race, as every person should be allowed to earn an honest living and enjoy the rights of an American citizen, without ostracism or hatred for being colored. The American white people delight in doing these things and do everything possible to help foreigners in securing positions; freedom of the public schools, colleges and all public places and yet these same class whom they welcome to their shores and to the public welfare of the community in which they cast their lot. The American colored people have always measured up with the white American in most everything which they have undertaken, and will measure up in the business world as soon as he can get the experience necessary. They have the brain, but lack the opportunity, and the American white man is too cowardly to afford them the chance. Yet they claim to be fascinators of Jesus Christ and his teachings. So far as morality, and Christianity is concerned, the colored race can teach their white American brother the proper methods of living a good, holy life and not peer in a looking glass. Wealth, hypocrisy deception and idleness is destroying the high moral standard which was set up by those who came over in the Mayflower The white people after stealing the colored man from Africa, enslaved him for centuries, mixed his compulsion by compelling their slave women to be their concubines; sold their children on the auction block and mixed them up. The whitman was the originator of immorality among the colored people and they have been fighting, praying, holding revivals and camp meetings every since to get rid of their sins the iniquity visited upon them by this supposedly immaculate American white man We sometimes wonder if those United States will be the Sodom and Gomath. It looks as though they were contesting hard for the place. The colored race has no hatred against any race or nationality and if left to them no one would be discriminated against on any public proposition or in any place. This musical contest is proof that all have gray matter and only need a chance to cultivate it. be Copeka Plaindealer FOUNDED JANUARY 1899 NICK CHILES, Editor and Owner Geo. K. Williams.

Davigon The St James Missionary Society was pleasantly entertained at the Home of Mrs Chas Ashby Thursday afternoon. The time was spent in sewing after which a short business session was held, with the president, Mrs. W. E. Carter, presiding. The pastor, Rev C M Watson was present and made some forceful remarks in spite of the fact that he had just received word that his mother hod suffered a stroke. He asked a special prayer for the sick and for strength to bear up whatever the outcome, and if it be God's will that his mother be spared a while longer. We all prayed silently and were dismissed by repeating the 19th Psalm, 14th verse. A dainty luncheon was served after which all departed for home. This was the banner meeting this year, 25 ladies being present. Miss Brooks of Kansas City, Mo. and Mrs. Wm Gandy were present as visitors. Preparation is being made for the bazaar on May 1st. Our work is improving along all lines and we are striving to live daily the gospel which is being preached to us on Sundays remembering we serve God in in proportion as we serve humanity. The prayer service on Wednesday night was largely attended and it was earnest and filled with spirit. Twenty one were present which is evidence we are growing.
