THE IOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Appomatox Day, Auditorium, Sunday 30'clock THOUSANDS VIEW THE UNVEILING OF STATUE OF WIZARD OF TUSKEGEE TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR Hundreds Attend Ceremony For Booker T. Washington. PRESIDENT HARDING IN LETTER PRAISES LATE LEADER OF THE PACE—CREDITS HIM WITH THE SOLUTION OF ONE OF NATIONS GREATEST PROBLEMS. Tuskegee, Ala., April 5—Transportation methods, ranging from special cars to muleback, were used to bring to Tuskegee today, a steady stream of white and colored admirers to attend the unveiling of a statue of Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee Institute. Special cars brought parties from New York, Washington, Chicago, Atlanta and New Orleans. The unveiling was set for the afternoon, with Dr. Wallace Buttrick, president of the general education board; Dr. George C. Hall, of Chicago, and Josephus Daniels, ex-secretary of the navy, as speakers. MUSKOGEE, OKLA. By J. E. Mason Every time the Negro begin to get serious about business, some fool will attribuy singing "On Jordan Stormy Banks We Stand." The big display made by the Rotarians here a few weeks ago, should teach the Negro the difference between commercialism and churchism. No race can ever develop its highest capacity, if forced to wear a political, social and industrial lace jacket. Thee K. K. K's, are one of fate's agent to destroy the white man's government, we should not worry, the day of vengeance is at hand. Hurrah for the three K's The laws of nature is immutable. Now Harry, there is no further use in you telling yourself a lie, so long as we are denied the ballot, just so long will we be the foot-mat for other races. For this reason we are equally sinful as those who persecute us and to attempt to take rctuge behind the Bible is silly. The rich colored man of this community will make a trip to Mexico in the near future. That government is making all sorts of inducement to the American Negro. The only thing now to do is muzzle a certain element of Negro ministers who has ever served the whites in keeping the Negroes down I am not preaching discord, destruction, nor encouraging a revolution, I am making a study of the conditions and stating my findings. Some ministers are having the church deed made out in their name this is done to ever hold the job and dictate all actions pertaining to the church. All Negroes should belong to the same denomination. We can not ever hope to unite so long as we are divided into a multiplicity of denominations housed by the white man thru an ignorant Negro ministry. Some one is ever "hooking" something off on the poor Negro, now they are selling Negroes secondhand churches at a price higher than the original pricee. No decent, self respecting Negro will be found to expose the cause of the Democrat party. Whipping a Negro and making the public believe it was a bunch of Republicans, will not get the party what they hope for. In fact we are quite upon such political intrigue. Smitherman was not whipped by Republicans but by a fartim of the Democrats. If our memory serves us correctly it was the present state superintendent who made the "big fuss" about allowing a Negro educator to address a white state teachers association. It was he who made this an issue because Prof Page was invited to speak before the white teachers. I wonder has the Negro teacher loss his self respect. This damnable minority school law should serve to make them think. Well we are thru grinning, apolitizcowardice, the time has come to tell our enemies to go to H-1. NUMBER FOURTEEN A letter from President Harding praising the work of Booker T Washington, was made public today. The President wrote: "I think there will be little divergence from the opinion that Bookey T Washington was one of the most useful Americans of his time and that the work he inaugurated and so long directed already is demonstrating the wisdom of his attitude toward one of the great public questions of the nation. My own views on this subject are in no small part the result of my observation of Dr Washington's work and its results. "I have long felt that Booker T. Washington had visioned the right way to deal with our national problems of our races in a manner most likely to produce the best effects from the standpoint of the entire nation and all elements of its people. I am glad of the occasion thus to signify my very high esteem for a great leader." Every little pee-wee preacher who can get an army of fools together, is pulling off an installation sermon.

We wish for her a speedy recovery We visited the Paseo Y M C A. in Kansas City, Mo., a few days ago. Pro G A. Gregg, the Executive Secretary, has put new life in the branch. He states that he has accommodated over one hundred poor colored people during the winter, while the colored churches and lodges who receive their support from these game unfortunate individuals, made no attempt or preparation for their accommodation. Prof. Gregg's sole object is to help those who cannot help themselves. He spoke very highly of the white branch. He is a high-class gentleman and a thorough Christian. At the time he accepted this work, there were only 268 members. Today the membership is over 600. Miss Elsie Lair and mother, formerly of Troy, Kansas, have a nice home at 2461 Woodland avenue, where she have a fashionable boarding house. Miss Lair has a good position with the Parisan Company.

Dr. M. G. Brookins, the eye, ear, nose and throat specialist of 1816 Woodland avenue, Kansas City, Mo. has just recently completed a course in California University, after spending a year and a half under a specialist in Kansas City. He is now preparing to erect a new brick building. He is prospering well, having been a practicing physician in Kansas City for a number of years. The only two Colored both we know of who understand the new Radio system today, are Ernest and Pat Gayden, brothers, of Kansas City, Kansas. Ernest is attending the university at Lawrence. They are the sons of Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Gayden, who are among the best known and prosperous citizens of that city. Mrs. Corvine Patterson, the grandmother, is very much interested in her grandsons. Mrs. Patterson is the widow of the late Corvine Patterson, who was for years Street Commissioner for Kansas City, Kansas, and a staunch race man. Atty. Louis G. Gregory, of Washington, D. C., representing the Bahia Movement for Universal peace and Brotherhood, spoke at St John A. M. E. church Sunday morning, and at Shiloh Baptist church at the evening services. His discourse was an able one, treating the subject in the most comprehensive and interesting manner. Mr. Jesse Brown, of Muskogee, Oklahoma, died Feb. 1st, after an buried from the A. M. E. church, of which he wah a member. He was one of Muskogee's most highly respected and prosperous citizens. He leaves to mourn their loss, a devoted wife, cLild, two sisters and a host of relatives. --- While at Wichita, we had the pleasure of attending the St Paul A. M. E. church and heard their great choir. We greatly missed the face of Mrs. Ella Jarrett Chinneth, wife of John T. Chinneth, the barber. Mrs. Chinneth was a faithful church worker. The following is a clipping from the Wichita Eagle, a white paper published here: Mrs. Ella Jarrett Chinneth, wife of John T. Chinneth, barber, residing at 530 Nort Waco avenue, died at 8 o'clock Sunday morning, Oct. 21, 1921, in St Francis hospital following a major operation last Friday, Mr. Chinneth, his son, Milton, and daughter, Harriett, were with her at the end. Mrs Chinneth was born in Missouri, April 24, 1880. She and her sister, Myrtle, who became Mrs Bert Glover, however were reared in Wichita and both were prominent socially in their race. Both are now deceased. She was married to Mr. Chinneth November 1, 1898, and ever since had resided at the North Waco address, which they owned. She was very prominent in the A. M. E. church and was soprano in the choir. She was active in the O. E. S. lodges. The Chinneth family is probably the best known of the race in Wichita. They have a wide circle of friends. PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR and her death was greatly deplored, and as a friend stated, removes from Wichita a powerful influence for the good and a better understanding between the races" WELLINGTON, KANSAS By Sheman Teal Mr. Lawrence Work, of Oxford, Kansas, a rich farmer, dairyman and poultry raiser, visited our city last Saturday and reports having hatch ed over 500 chicks already. Rev. Smith of Winfield, delivered a fine sermon at the Baptist church Sunday evening. Mrs Leona Letcher returned last Thursday from Wichita where she went to attend the funeral of an Eastern Star sister, Mrs. Ella Staf ford. Mr. Lee Watkins was taken to the hospital Sunday. At this writing he is not doing so well. We enjoyed the recent visit of Mr. Slaughter of Topeka, who was with some of the officials of the Santa Fe. He is stronger on talking than he is playing Pitch. Edw. Thompson, painter and paper hanger is a busy man at this season. Mr. W. A. Bettis, of Wichita, was here Friday and spoke at the A. M. E. church in the evening. Mrs. Ethel North entertained for Mr. Barsham and a lady friend of Kansas City, on Saturday. The members of the A. M. E. church are starting a ten days revival. When a white man protects his family against evil surroundings his people call him a HERO; but let a colored man do the same thing and seven-tenths of his people call him, jealous. It is true that in our business transactions and perhaps in our clubs, we might entertain folks we could not afford to entertain in our homes, because our homes are sacred. J. R. Oldham is still making good with the Hunter Milling Company. Mrs. F. M. Roberts, one of the best women in Kansas, is still a leader in our woman's clubs and church work. Mr. Jesse Brower and wife are now too old to work and are sitting at home living and enjoying their income. Rev. Glass of Newton delivered the annual sermon of the K. of P. lodge at the A. M. E church on the 26th. Uncle Dan Letcher is still numbered among the sick. Lee Watkins continues to improve. Mr. Toge Ballard of Wichita, is visiting in our city.

This institution is spending almost two million dollars in this city at this time in improvements of all kinds for the betterment of the system and the convenience of their patrons. The most startling of all is the installation of the Automatic machine phone, where customer becomes his own operator. No waiting to call the hello girl, who sometimes visits over the phone, and most of the time makes love to her friend while you fret and say mean things. You may want the doctor, a burglar may be trying to enter your home, a fire may have broken out, and still Miss Hello, will continue to hear the sweet words from her lover while you worry, and at her pleasure answers you. Now the Bell people have found a system to stop all this and from the time this system is put in use you will be spared of all these cuss words and will be able to attend church and live closer to the cross. This automatic machine does the work. All you have to do is to dial the numbers composing the desired phone number, immediately you get your party. No waiting, no worrying. The public will appreciate this having of time and confusion. Mr. Kercher, one of the managers of the local office informs us that as soon as the engineers complete the plans and the material and fixtures arrive, with no unusual delay, the new system will be in operation by next fall. Mr Kercher is one of the company's wide awake mer who never sleeps or idles on the job. He is as anxious that the patron have first class service as the company is to get the money. This means money to the business and laboring classes in the city of Topeka CARD CF THANKS We wish to thank the many friends and neighbors for their many acts of kindness and sympathy shown us during the show and death of my husband also for the beautiful floral offerings, which show us many thoughts that touches cannot express Mrs. Clifford Mukes.

For over twelve years she taught in the school here and was loved and adored by all who knew and came in contact with her; as she possessed a high character, was a good, faithful member of the church to which she belonged. Sometimes ago, she took sick in Kansas City at which time her father went to Kansas City and brought her home. Her funeral services were held from Mount Olive Baptist church, on Sunday. March 26. at 2:30 p.m with Rev S W. Bacote, of Kansas City, Mo., officiating. She was an exemplary member of this church and was known for her charitable activities. Miss Peake was a credit to her church, the schools in which she taught, the community in which she lived and to her family and the race at large. She will be missed very much and her sweet memory cherished by all who knew her. TO MISS PEAKE She is gone but not forgotten. Her voice is calm and still. We loved her, yes, we loved her, She has done our Master's will. We know she's gone away to stay, And never return no more.

Scott late of Shawnee County, deceased. All parties interested in said estate will take notice and govern themselves, accordingly. Send in your subscription to the paper now. Its the M. A. JOHNSON, Administrator (First published April 7, 1922.) Mob violence, the killing of innocent men and women for an alleged crime has affected the whole social fibre of America. This condition is the most dangerous to the Negro, as the record of the N.A.A.C.P. gives the figures, from 1889 to 1918 that out of 3,244 persons lynched, 2,522 were Negroes. Therefore it is the Negro's duty to use all the means within his power to eliminate this bartarous practice among us The House of Representatives passed the Dyer Anti Lynching Bill, which according to authentic testimony will do more than anything else to counteract this practice which has become a pastime in many of our states. The bill is in the Senate. And we know that unless there are strong forces brought to bear upon the men who are in authority, with power to pass it, the bill will remain on the table forever. Some of the Negro Colleges realize this fact, and under the direction of Mr. A. D. Williams of Lincoln University, Pa., are making an appeal; an appeal that is worthy, and should commend itself to every college and educational institution. They urge that every institution send representatives and contributions to the Students Anti Lynching League, Lincoln University, Pa. This perfectly logical request should be compiled with. For this problem must be setttled before we will be able to make much progress. Without the solution of this enormous question, neither individual nor family life will be secure. If the men and women of our colleges are not willing to do their part in the stopping of this danable evil, how, may I ask, can it be done? To settle this momentous question it requires faith, money, intelligence, training and co-operation. Those who are in our colleges should be there with one object, how to make conditions better for humanity. There is no better time to begin than now, by giving your full and absolute support to this League. Let us rise up students and join all our forces, as intelligent men and women and grasp, as intelligent men and women and grasp the opportunity offered to help in the passage of the Dyer Anti Lynching bill, and through the benefits derived therefrom, press on to power, wealth and political prerogative. The N. A. A. C. P. will celebrate Appomatox Day, at the City Auditorium, Sunday afternoon, at 3 p. m. Good Music and Good speakers. KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI Send in your subscription to the paper now.
