THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. KANSANS DOING WELL OVER AND ABOUT THE JAYHAWK STATE We visited Lawrence a few days, as which are doing fairly well, Mrs. ago and will say that Lawrence has Idel Martin has a restaurant and is several progressive Colored people, having good success. We visited Lansing and Lea or worth a few days ago. At Lansing we found the the State prison an active little city with 1200 inmates. Two years ago the population was 600, but it is increasing every week. The warden showed us through the question, and we must ask that we have visited there a number of times before, but this time he found a great improvement had been made under the management of Warden Airline, who is well versed in criminology and is a edge student of human nature and fully understands how to get the best results out of the men under his supervision. Also his methods of making bad men better if their mentality will permit, is wonderful. Warden Airline is an efficient and capable official in his present capacity. In the past, the prisoners have been eating from the baro tables, now, they have the tables covered with clean, sanitary oil cloth. The north col house has been made into a reception room for the use of the first class inmates. A reading room, electric lights, shower baths, and a alley, is enjoyed by those who are permitted, and they are allowed to report there without supervision or guard. We were also shown the fall in the prison, where incorrigibles are kept and published until they have repented. This fall is in charge of Officer Joseph Bowers, whom the Warden states, is one of the best officers in the institution. Mr. Bowers is governor of this department and his word is law. The Warden states that he, himself, never attempts to interfere in this division, and that he is proud of Mr. Bowers and his other Clored officers who are making good. There are five officers whose gentility cannot be questioned. We visited Mr. Andrew Weatherly on the tower, who spoke very highly of the Warden, and in fact all the officers speak in the biggest terms regarding his work and say that he is not a novice in this particular. LEAVENWORTH We visited the Sumner school of which Prof. B. K. Bruce is principal, and to our surprise, he informed us that Leavenworth schools rank first in the West. They are far above all the other schools in Kansas. They also have a banking system and most every child in the schools has a bank account. Two bankers go to the schools at least once a week and take up the deposits. Some of the pupils have as much as two hundred dollars on deposit. These savings are carefully watched and at the end of the year they are encouraged not to spend too much at Xmas time. We are informed that sixty per cent of the Leavenworth schools have bank accounts. This is a commendable thing for this city. Prof. Bruce also gives private instructions to army officers. Hundreds have been promoted to higher ranks in the U. S. Army thru his instructions. We are proud to say that Mr. S. M. Frazier, the first Colored man to open a vulcanizing and retrending of tires in this city, has put in an oil filling station, which is one of the best in the city. He is the first Colored man we have found this side of the Mississippi river conducting an oil station, which is located on his own property in the business district. While here we had the pleasure of visiting the office of Mr. J. C. Lyles and Son Milling company, one of the largest mills in this section of the country. They have just recently erected at Kansas City, Mo., on the north bank of the Missouri river a new plant here is the main office of the company and the president, secretary, treasurer and the Board of Directors, who own and control the entire stock are found here. We found them very agreeable person to meet and talk with. The young Mr. Lyles' salary is $6,000,00 per year, while his father's salary is $1600 per year. The mill turns out thousands of barrels of high grade flour each year. Mr. Lyle is the back bone of Leavenworth, is highly respected and more sought after than any one business man in the city LAWRENCE State Historical Society Newspaper Section NUMBER SEVENTEEN This is the Athene of the West. Several thousand students are found attending the State University, of which are found several Colored A lot re number of our people here own their homes and are well off there are two or three lodges which are living their property in the business district and establishing balls of their own instead of renting from white people. In this respect they are waking up to their sense of duty. We found the Court of Calanthe has bought a two story building on Vermont street at a cost of $6000.00. We understand the Masons boogie building on the same street at a cost of $16000.00. Much credit is due these lodges and the court. It is a great credit to the race. About ten per cent of the Colored people in the town are progressive. Of course there is that 90 per cent that find fault with what people are trying to do for the good of all. They have a Rug and Carpet Manufacturing plant, owned by Mr. and Mrs. Stone, 428 Locust street, on the north side. Their home was originally in Tupola, Miss. They first settled in Iowa and then came to Lawrence, where they are now located. The plant turns out velvet rugs made from old carpets, with which the latest, modern machinery is used. This firm is known as the Bon Ton Carpet company. Mrs. Stone is a great help to her husband, in fact they are full partners. Clof of the largest concerns owned and operated by the race, is the Cleaning and Tailoring establishment owned by W. C. Brown. He is a young man, full of business and capably from five to seven people to take care of his large business. Mr. Brown is a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, and has for some years been a grand treasurer of the Sunflower Grand lodge, Knights of Pythias, which he has held with great credit and proficiency, handling several thousand dollars. This business is one of the largest in this section of the country. Mr. Brown is a high class, upright Christian geno man. While here we were proud to pay a visit to the home of one of the oldest and most highly respected, of our citizens of Lawrence in the persons of Mr. and Mrs. Milton Simm, who reside in their own home at $12 New York street. These people came to this city in 1862. Mrs. Simm before her marriage was Miss Ellen Lane, of Jackson County, Mo. Mr. Simm was born in Kentucky and was a veteran of the Civil War, having served two and a half years. He is one of the highly respected citizens of Douglas county and a race pioneer. Another young man doing fine in business is Mr. Lee Mason, who owns a fine 10 acre tract on the edge of the city, which is now very valuable, worth several thousand dollars. His wife is a fine business woman and assists him in managing the farm. Their young son is now in school and has his work about the place in the way of doing chores and helping his mother. Mr. Mason is a fine up-to-date citizen and one of which the race should be proud. A beautiful home is located in a cool, shady spot and their place is stocked with hogs, poultry and cows. He also supplies several families with milk and chickens. Mr. Mason has for a number of years been in the railway mail service and has a splendid record in that department. MANHATTAN We found the Coloreed people doing fairly well. Mrs. Preston Phillips has just opened a Beauty Parlor with two ladies as attendants. They have all the work they can do. This shows our women are coming to the front in the business line. Mr. Dan Illinois has charge of the City dump. He is a fine citizen and Mr. and Mrs. W. M Owens have a son who is a fine artist and is now taking lessons from a correspondence school in Washington and is doing fine work. Mr. Thos. Cruise is able to be around. He is a Civil War veteran and a highly respected citizen and pioneer of the race. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, MORNING, APRIL 28, 1922 THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN C. G. M. HARROLD visited the Temples and Tabernacles of Topeka last week on his annual tour. The members were glad to meet and greet him as he always has the wisdom of Solomon in his decisions and actions in handling business of the order. He does things in a high Christian spirit, which endeare the members to him. He reports a heavy death list this year. He also states that they are preparing for a great session to be held in Atchison this year. Mrs. Spence Hall and Whitsel, were linner g home of Mr. and Mrs. man on last Sunday. Mr. Jack Johnson and and Mr. Hatcher anl so scent one day last we Johnson's parents, Mr Thos. Johnson. W. T. Cro One of Topeka's, and MR. PAUL T. McFARLAND CANDIDATE FOR CO-TREASURER Mr. Paul T. McFarland, assistant county treasurer, is a candidate to succeed Tom Boyd, and is subject to the Republican Primaries of August next. He is without opposition. Mr. McFarland is an Ohlano by birth and has resided in Topeka for 14 years. He is a graduate of the Topeka high school and although a young man in years, he has had the experience in this line of work. He was a member of Battery A, and served on the border; was a 1st Lt in command at Fort Sill, Okla., and was one of the advance guards attached to the 31st division for overseas service and was sent to France, and was afterwards detached and assigned to the 8th Aerial Squadron and served there in until the Armistice was signed. He was in close touch with the 92nd Division. For several years, he was connected with the Auditing department of the Santa Fe, is married to a daughter of one of Topeka's first and best families in the person of Miss Esther Thomas. He is a member of the American Legion in this city and assisted in organizing the Colored post here. Mr. McFarland states that the work of the Co. Treasurer's office is tedious and requires long hours, while the salary does not meet the requirements, yet he will serve the people and give what is due them. CARBONDALE, KANSAS (By Wm. Foster) Mrs. Martha Wilson spent Sunday in Topeka, with Mr Dan Lee and mother Mrs. Moten, in Topek Mr. Gene Foster visited in Topeka last week with relatives and friends Miss Abbie Foster spent Sunday at home with her parents, Mr and Mr Wm. Foster. Mr Dan Lee of Topeka spent Sunday at the home of Mrs. Martha Wilson. Miss Daisy Foster and Mr Kenyon McDonald linked to Carbondale Sunday to visit at the Foster home Mr and Mrs Amos Booker and family motorel to Carbondale to its it Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Foster and family. Miss Daisy Foster and Mr Kenyon McDonald accompanied them to Topeka Mr. Elward S. Foster of Topeka spent a few days at the home of his parents. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Foster. Mrs. Will Bennings and children. Mrs. Spence Hall and Mrs. Amanda Whitsel, were linner guests at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Kanse Freeman on last Sunday. Mr. Jack Johnson and son, Johnny and Mr. Hatcher anl son of Topeka, spent one day last week with Mr. Johnson's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Johnson. W. T. Crosby One of Topeka's, and the state's at strongest pillars has fallen. Mr. William Thomas Crosby, the Prince of dry goods merchants has passed to the Great Beyond, after almost a half century in business in this city. He was an honest, upright, christian gentleman, who stood for higher and greater things for humanity. Although wrapped up in his great responsibilities, there was never a time when he would not stop to hear the cries of the distressed and give heed to their conditions. His brother, E H. Crosby and himself, were like Slamese Twins. To the one who had the greatest weight of subject matter, was always given preference so peace and harmony always prevailed and the present million dollar concern that he left grew from a handful of goods, so to speak, by these two brothers working on terms of peace and treating their customers and employees as though they were members of the firm. The Colored people of Topeka will greatly feel his loss. He was kind to those whom he knew had hard strugged and what they are now having. He gave them employment, some of which are holding responsibl a positions. Peace to his soul and ma. THE SOME OF THE THINGS TO BE SEEN AT THE ANNUAL EXHIBITION OF THE KANSAS INDUSTRIAL & EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTE AT THE CITY AUDITORIUM, MAY 8th, IN THE INTEREST OF THE LOCAL Y. M. C. A. COMMENCEMENT AT WILBERFORCE COMMENCEMENT AT WILBERFORCE Commencement at Wilbeforce University this year promises to be more interesting than last year, although last year's commencement was pronounced by those who have been at Wilberoffre for many years, and notably the late Thomas H. Jackson, a graduate of the first class, one of the best in the history of the school. The announcement is a bit later than usual due to the fact that President Gregg has been waiting to get a definite answer from the gentleman whom he wishes to secure as the Commencement speaker. That answer came yesterday and the announcement goes forth today. Mr Robert Wilberforce of Oxford University, England, great grand son of William Wilberforce, for whom the institution is named will deliver the Commencement (admitiws). Mr. of the famous Wilberforce house, is the Director of the British Library of Information in the United States. He has postponed a trip to England in order that he may visit the oldest and largest institution for the education of our youth owned and controlled by our people and which bears his family name. Bishop I. N. Ross, D. D., of the Twelfth Episcopal district embracing the work of the A. M. E. church in Arkansas, will preach the Baccalaureate sermon; Dr. J. C. Anderson, pastor of Wylie Ave, A. M. E. church, Pittsburg, Pa., will address the Religious Societies; Chaplain T. G. Stewart, of Wilberforce, will speak for the students of Payne Theological Seminary and Dr. G. A. Edwards, president of Kittrell College, Kittrell, N. C., will address the Literary Societies. The administration uishees to make this commencement a great home coming occasion for the graduates and former students of Wilberforce, and to that end all are asked to plan on taking a trip to the old school this year. Many have already signified their intention of making a pilgrimage to Wilberforce for the purpose of visiting the site of Old Shorter Hall, aht shrine of their educational endeavor and it is to be hoped that here on these sacred grounds all will pledge renewed devotion to their Alma Mater. In spite of the many hardships entailed by the burning of Shorter hall, the enrollment this year is the largest in the history of the school. Fourteen hundred and fourteen students have registered besides those of the summer school, which will run the total enrollment well up to sixteen hundred. Half as many more could have been registered but for lack of room. Another few years will see two or three thousand young men and women preparing for life work within the classic wall of this famous institution. JOIN THE N. A. A. C.

Grant, 1222 Buchanan street. The reputation of Mrs. Grant as an epicure and artist in the culinary art, brought out a full membership. The real object of this club is the furtherance of art among its members, but owing to the near approach of warm weather and its adjournment, for the summer, the members have refrained from work, and pass the time with quotations from various authors. But at this meeting the programme was quotations from the scriptures, beginning with the letter 'S'. After all were comfortably seated and all declared they knew no recent gossip, the president directed the secretary to call the roll for quotations, all replying with appropriate verse from the scriptures until Mrs. Overton's name was reached, when she responded with the following. "Stretch me wide, hang me high, let sinners see how free I die." To this Mrs. B. F. Payne demurred by saying, "Willa just says anything for a quotation. That is not in the scriptures." This remark brought forth a discussion in which most all took part. Mrs. Bell said she believed it was there. Mrs. Solomon said she had heard it or read it, she did not know which. Mrs. Etta Payne was almost positive it was there. After it was shown that the club was almost unanimously of the opinion it was in the scriptures, Mrs. Payne asked for a Bible, Mrs. Grant called to her daughter, Juanita, to get the Bible, Juanita replied, "Mamma, you have no Bible, and I don't recollect you ever having one." Juanita was dispatched to the neighbors for a Bible, five houses were vainly applied to for the words of Holy Writ, finally she called at the church parsonage where the much sought volume was secured. Mrs. Payne began to read a description of the Crucifixion by Matthew, when Mrs. High suggested that she would find it in Deuteronomy, which was followed immediately by Mrs. Black well, who said she believed it in the Acts of the Apostles, Mrs. Payne paid no attention to these suggestions but read the Crucifixion by remaining evangelist and proved that "she was right." Then the holding began. Mrs. Henderson: "I soldom read anything except the Capital and the Defender." Mrs. Napue: "I used to read the Bible quite often when I was out home, but I have not bought one since I have been married." A woman living on North Western avenue said, "She used to be well versed in the Scriptures, but now it had seemingly all gone from her. She doubted whether she could say the Lord's Prayer." All were surprised at the remark and suggested that she try. After admonishing all to be quiet Mrs. N. W. A., began; "Now I lay down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, if I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my Soul to take." The ladies all looked at each other, but not a word was spoken and Mrs. N. W. A. will bolleve until she sees this article that she repeated the Lord's Prayer. Mrs. Grant then requested the ladies to be served and when it was over, declared Mrs. Grant to be everything that the word "Kitchen Artist" implies. The hour of adjournment having arrived, the ladies separated, agreeing to spend the remainder of the spring meetings in scripture reading. Also to request the Clergy to do a little missionary work in Tennessee town. By M. W. Overton An observer Williams of the Princess drill team.

Such Colord men do not be long in the north. It is a pity that the whitemar did not start a little blaze behind such fellows before they crossed the Mason and Dixor line, and in so doing they might save the northern atmosphere from such damnable contamination.

She professed a hope in Christ Jesus, 54 years ago in Richmond, Mo., and in joined the Methodist Episcopal church. She was married to Gilbert Vaughn in 1868; 9 nine children were the result of that union, one son and eight daughters, five of whom survive. There were also eleven grand children. She came to Topeka, making it her home 14 years ago, where she joined Mount Olive M. E. church in which she lived a consistent Christian to the day of her death. She was taken sick about five weeks ago, she bore up bravely under the severe pains of her disease, exhibiting a christian fortitude that is rare among modern christians. Sister Vaughn loved her children tenderly and dearly, she also loved five or six other children whom she reared and for whom she was a foster mother; these children loved her in return, one of whom stood by the operating table, witnessed the operation and by that peculiar sympathy bore a part of the excruciating pain. There was another ministering angel that lingered about the sick bed of Sister Vaughn, administering to her need, namely Sister Laura Vaughn the daughter-in-law of Sister Vaughn her last days were days filled with a faith that would not shrink too pressed by many palms. She endured her pastor, when he administered to her spiritual needs, that her faith in Jesus was perfect; and that she was perfectly satisfied to abide the Providence of God. She said to the attending physician, "I have nothing to do but to fold my arms and go to glory." She said to her children, who gathered at her bedside, "I thought I was gone, but I am not all to go. I have been praying a long time for this!" Her favorite songs were, "Steal Away to Jesus," "My Father is rich in love and land," "At the Cross, at the Cross." Jesus watched with deep interest and sympathy, the smiling of this mother wife, Christian, battles scarred warrior for five weeks then on the morn of the 13th, in the grayown of that morn. He said I am not to bring her to that home, where sickness, sorrow pain and death are faint and feared no more. RESOLUTIONS ON BEHALF OF. M TOLIVE M. E. CHURCH The poet has said that Death loves a shining mark and there was never a better illustration of that truth than when he, with his keen slickle, struck down the deceased, Sister Rilla la Vaughn. She was a light everywhere. She was active in her home as a housewife; devoted as a mother; and true and affectionate as a wife. Her zeal for God impelled her with a resist less energy in every field of church activity and Christian work. She worked incessantly till the hour when death crossed her path, and bade her lay her armor down. In every sphere of Christian activity and church work, she registered 100 per cent. She loved her church to the extent that she could truly sing: Her walls before thee stand, Dear as the apple of thine eye, And graten on thy hands. Office Phone: Bell Clifton 0838 Dr. M. G.

Nearware of a man who is forever hraping on his honesty. To be a gentleman all a man has to do is to hide his meaness. A man's tendency to give advice, is in inverse ratio to his ability to mind his own business. When a man is continually talking about his troubles, his neighbors never trouble about his talk. Some women marry in order to be independent, and some men get married for the same reason. Women are fond of bargains, yet a cheap man is never popular with them.
