THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. SEES WHITE PERIL ON WAY Next War To Be Over White Aggreation, Saya Professor. Sociologist Says Day of Exploitation of Others is Over. . Columbus, Ohio.—The real peril of the world "has been neither yellow nor black, but white," Howard E. Jensen, professor of sociology at Butler college, Indianapolis, Ind., asserted in an address here before the Congress of Disciples of Christ, a national form of the Christian church. "The atrocities of the Congo and the Amazon and the incroachment of the white race powers upon the Far East until finally checked by the rising military and naval power of Japan will serve to make this clear," he continued. "Over all of black man's land, except for Liberia and Assyria, and over all of red man's land from the Arctic to Cape Horn, there floats the white man's flags, while Asia, excepting China and Japan, is subject to white rule. This supremacy has been achieved through violated truces and broken treaties. "I agree with Lothrop Stoddard at one point: hat if a race war comes, it will bring about a union of all colored races against the white, a combination in which the white will find itself outnumbered four or five to one. This is the day of the white man's salvation. Within a generation or a century at most he must, recognize that his period of exploitation of other races is over, and he must learn how to co-operate across racial lines in promoting human progress and in building a more ethical civilization. "The most important conflict group in the past has been the nation, but for several decades humanity has been undergoing reorganization along the lines of economic, cultural and racial cleavage which in no way respect political boundaries. We may expect that nationalism will play an ever dwindling role and that the coming struggles will follow these new lines of cleavage." LINCOLN THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY COMMENCEMENT SENDS OUT VERY STRONG CLASS. Lincoln University, Pa., May 10. Today marks the close of the sixty-seventh year of the Lincoln Theological Seminary. A very useful and energetic class is taking its leave to replenish the and swell the ranks of not the most popular but by far the most serviceable and powerful force in Negro life today. The class is not strong because of numbers, but because of the high calibre of such members as A. D. Williams, of Virginia; Silas W. Brister, of Pennsylvania; and E. M. Lewis, of Barbados, British West Indies. The Nassau essay prize of fifty dollars was won by S. W. Brister and the Scott prize of fifteen dollars in English Bible was won by E. M. Lewis. On Sunday, May 7, Rev. Lewis Seymour Mudge, D. D., stated clerk of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States, delivered the baccalaureate sermon. Class day exercises were held on the 9th, at which time A. D. Williams delivered the unique salutatory in Hebrew and M. W. Newsome delivered the valedictory. Four states and the British West Indies were represented in the class, whose members were as follows: Sulas Walton Brister, David Crawford Byrd, John Sidney Coard, Charles Martin Dusenbury, Rufus Pollot Easter, Eldred Martin Lewis, Minyard William Newsome, James Henri Tucker, Arthur Daniel Williams. The commencement speakers were S. W. Briater, E. M. Lewis and A. D. Williams. The class received five S. T. B. degrees, three diplomas and one certificate. The diplomas were presented by Thomas Jesse Jones, Ph. D. The vitality of the class might be read in its very suggestive and thoughtful motto, "Expect great things from God! Attempt great things for God!" The ninety-eighth year of the Seminary begins Tuesday, September 19. The road to proverty is paved with poor inventions. NUMBER NINETEEN The White Man's Realization of His Mistreatment of the Colored Races. The above statement by Professor Jensen is a frank admission of the crumbling of the white man's supremacy. As soon as the white man will learn that God created all people in His own image and that no difference is made when it comes to the great Jehovah as to color or nationality and respect each other's rights, the better the country will be. The white race of the eastern hemisphere is fast destroying each other and if France, Germany, England and Russia don't soon get together, the white race will be wiped off that continent. If Ireland keps up her gait there won't be enough left to fill the official positions. Now, it is the duty of the American white man to get closer to his colored brethren and be prepared for the absorption, for within two centuries there will not be a pure bred white man on the western hemisphere. The pure breeds of both races are fast disappearing as the red man, that is why this country is in such an uproar, so much mixture of foreign bad blood. A century ago the American white people were of the highest type when it came to dignity, honor and loyalty; they did not mix with common white stock; they preferred to mix with their slaves; that is why we have so many different colors in the race. Yet that mixture produced a law abiding citizen as a rule—children born of white and colored parent have proven to be among the best and most progressive citizens. A white mother and a colored father or a colored mother and a white father of American birth seems to have the interest of the country at heart, while those of foreign mixture have always given the country trouble, so we see what is causing all of the trouble—too much foreign blood has been allowed to mix in our high standing American blood of both races. The American white man failed to protect his once pure and unadulterated blood, so let him suffer. The white ministers should get busy and preach wholesome doctrine to their congregations to get closer to their colored brother, and treat them fair. NICK CHILES, Editor. JUNCTION CITY, KANS. (By Wm.

They found the organizations in splendid working order, and from the reports of cimmittees the Grand Lodge should be an eminent success. The encampment of the Uniform Rank ill bring a large number of Pythians to the city, which will no doubt stimulate the growth of the order in this section of the state. The Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, and Supreme Worthy Counselor, E. G. Tidrington, will be present, both of whom are men of eminence. H. W. WILSON, P. C. Defense No. 38, K. of P. BOLEY. OKLA. Hon Wm Peters, a prominent attorney of the State of Oklahoma, was waylaid and shot by some unknown persons while on the way home a few days ago. The bullet entered the right side and came out a few inches below the point of entrance. He was brought to the Sanitarium at Guthrie, where Dr Conrad, the physician in charge, states that if no complication arises, he will pull thru satisfactory. We are informed that the parties who committed the deed are known and will be caught as soon as the circumstances leading up to the affair are plain. Attorney Peters is one of Boley's upright, honest, progressive citizens and has done much to make Boley what it is today. He has a host of friends who will see that the guilty parties are brought to justice. Mrs. S. Partee and little son of Kansas City, Mo., spent last week in the city as the guest of her brother, Rev. J. S. Blaine and Mrs. Blaine. Mr. L. H. Woodard of Salt Lake City, is in the city taking a course in motion picture work. CARROLLTON, MISSOURI ENVY AND JEALOUSY ON PART OF WHITES-MAR PEACE AND HARMONY OF MISSOURI TOWN. (Special to The Plaindealer.) The Colored people in this community have been asleep so long until now they are being suddenly awakened, but it seems that it is almost too late. The town is now in an uproar over the recent purchasing of the park and lake by our people. On Saturday night some time between evening and day break, the town was flooded with bills notifying every one that some organization working on the plan of the K. K. K. was well organized and ready for action. The Colored people who are renting business houses from the whites were notified to get out. Mr. Arthur Smith one of our Colored grocerymen received two notices inside of four days stating that he must vacate by the eleventh of this month. He has a fine business and a splendid location. We feel that all who are renting from the whites will be compelled to get out. Even the lodges of this place, with the exception of the Maconic lodge, who own their own building. This has been caused simply because the Colored people have purchased this property to afford some amusement for the race. As the matter stands today it looks like we might have blood shed at most any time. The situation is becoming very critical. However, we know that the Lord is with us. At the present time there are about thirty Colored men working at the park every day and they have stopped the whites from fishing, boating and bathing in the bath houses. When the whites were in possession of the park Colored people were not allowed the privilege of using any part of it, so we feel that we are at liberty to do likewise since purchasing the entire property. Last Sunday was quarterly meeting at the A. M. E. church, Rev. Jackson, pastor, Presiding Elder Bryant delivered a wonderful sermon and the attendance was good and a good collection was raised. The Missionary Circle will meet on Friday with Mrs. Eveline Colwell. Itv. Chinn, pastor of the Virginia Street Baptist church is now running a revival meeting. The Missionary Society had a program on Sunday night which was a grand affair. Mr. C. Reed, the grocer man on West Lincoln avenue reports good business. Madam O. Cleton on Water Works street reports that her business is doing well. She serves fine lunches and soft drinks. Prof Adams, principal of the Lincoln school will have his closing exercises on Friday night, May 18th. The class roll includes Naomi Childs, Eva M. Anderson, Dorothy Martin, Lucille Triggers, Pauline Turner. The Loren Sanford Post, No. 420, American Legion at Carrollton, was established April 4th, 1922, with sixteen members. The Post is doing fine and expects to do better work in the future in the way of helping their fellow comrades. The officers are George Triggers, Commander, Lewis Minnis, Adjutant, Cecil Bates, Finance officer and Henry Curret, Sgt. at Arms. JUNCTION CITY, KANSAS MAN BOMBS OWN HOME Special to Plaindealer. Mrs Ida Kirtley's kitchen was dynamited at 7:30 a. m., May 6, wrecking the kitchen and completely demolishing the stove and flue. Mrs. Kirtley was injured both internally and externally, receiving licks from flying pieces of stove pipe and brick, which cut deep gashes in her head and body. Mrs. Kirtley has been separated from her husband, Henry Kirtley, but a short time and he has been living in a room built on the lot in the rear of the house at 716 West Fourteenth street. Mrs. Kirtley has had trouble with Kirtley several times and he was ordered by the court to move off of the place within 30 days, which he had failed to do. Kirtley had threatened to do bodily harm time and again, but fear overtook him until the night of May 5, while Mrs. Kirtley was over to her sister's, Mrs. Ellen Wilson, on West Thirteenth street, when it is believed he dropped a stick of dynamite down the flue and it lodged in the elbow of the stove pipe. On the morning of the 6th Mrs. Kirtley went to the kitchen and made a fire to prepare breakfast for herself and little daugh- ter, Marau, when the explosion occurred. Mrs. A. Blantyre, who lives across the street, heard the explosion and rushed to the scene to find Mrs. Kirtley lying in a pool of blood unconscious. Mr. and Mrs. Oliver Stewart, who room at Mrs. Kirtley's, were in their room and rushed into the street, then back to the kitchen, where they found Mrs. Kirtley. They carried her from the kitchen to the bedroom, while Mr. Blantyre phoned to the police and sheriff and Mrs. Stewart phoned for the doctor. The police arrived just in time to prevent Mr. Johnnie Ed Marks, a brother of Mrs. Kirtley's, from putting the finishing touches to Kirtley with his .45 calibre automatic, and it was all they could do to disarm him. They placed Kirtley under arrest and are holding him for investigation. Kirtley told the police he wanted to go to his room to get his pipe, but the chief had seen pipe dreams before and told him some one else would get the pipe for him. They found a 45-70 Colts revolver loaded and a table full of ammunition in the room with the pipe, hich they also took. ORGANIZE POLITICAL LEAGUE HERE The Colored citizens of Kansas organized in this city last week what is known as the Political League of Kansas. Over one hundred delegates were present from over the state. Prof. P. G. Porter, of Olathe, Kansas, one of the foremost and leading young Colored men of the state, was elected president of the organization. He was active in re-organizing the republican party in the state during the last presidential election, and as a staunch supporter of the rights of the race. For a number of years, he has been principal of the public and M. PROF. P. G. PORTER PRESIDENT high school at Olathe, Kansas, where he is highly respected by all the citi- vans at that place. The report of the committee on resolutions was adopted as follows: Resolved: That the action of the political league here assembled on the 6th day of May, 1922, be endorsed by the Colored voters of the State of Kansas. That the race in the State of Kana- sas support, endorse and lend what ever assistance may be necessary for the passage of the Dyer Anti Lunche- leg bill now pending in the Senate of the United States. That the Colored people throughout the State join and affiliate with a branch of the N. A. A. C. P. That the ministers, women's clubs, community leaders and the Colored press of the State, keep their various constituents informed on all matters affecting the race as a whole from the standpoint of their social, political, moral and industrial welfare.

That wherever local branches of this organization are formed such organizations shall encourage Colored people in business, such as farming, mercantile, and all general lines of industry. That a copy of this resolution be sent to the Kansas delegation at Washington and the general press of the State. The other officers elected were: E.

Crump, PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR JOHN HOPE FAVORED AS THE HEAD LINCOLN UNIVERSITY Jefferson City, Mo.—It has become known here that Clement Richardson, president of Lincoln University, will not be re-elected by the board to succeed himself as president for the ensuing term. Prof. Richardson has been president of Lincoln Institute for four years, he having succeeded B. F. Allen, who was president of Lincoln about 25 years. Among those prominently mentioned as a successor of Prof. Richardson is President John Hope of Moorehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. It is said that most of the members of the board of curators are favorable toward president Hope in preference to the many other applicants. Members of the board of curators who were asked about Richardson's successor, stated that no action had been taken by the board as yet, and added that they did not know who would be elected to head the institution. No Summer School. The board of curators has decided not to have any summer school at Lincoln this year owing to the urgent building program which contemplates much alterations and same new buildings. It is thought that every possible facility will be used in order to have things ready for the fall term of school. TRY TO EMBARRASS DR. J. R. A. CROSSLAND. Washington.—There is a rumor rife to the effect that certain white officials in subordinate positions in the Veterans' Bureau have tried to put Dr. Crossland, the Harding appointee from Missouri, in bad with the department. It is said that papers have been signed with Crossland's name and given out to the public when they should have been regarded as the property of the government. It is said further that this was done while Dr. Crossland was absent on his trips of inspection through the country. Certain white officials left over from the last administration have been charged with this conduct which is planned to discredit the colored DR. J. R. A.

Posses of armed men and officers searched the entire north side of this city several days ago vainly searching for Jake Hightower, the Colored slayer of Arthur C. Ruff, white who was killed by Hightower at the plant of the Mutual Ice company at the foot of Quincy street The two men employees of the ice company, had some differences over the positions where they were working and threats had passed between them some days previous. Witnesses state that Hightower came up on the tark to start pulling ice and walked up behind a man by the name of Ward and struck him in the head with a pair of ice tongs. Ward falling to the floor, Hightower continued bearing him over the head with the tongs inflicting severe scalp wounds and rendering him unconscious. An engineer who had watched this proceeding shouted to Hightower to "cut it out". Hightower turned instantly drew his revolver from his pocket, and fired at the engineer, who escaped by running into the engine room, without being hit. Hightower then turned and fired a shot at Ward as he lay unconscious on the floor, the bullet passed thru Ward's right arm. As the engineer dodged bullets among the engines, he saw Ruff, the other engineer, look out of a door behind Hightower, and on the same level, and make as if to step out of the door towards Hightower. Hightower evidently saw Ruff step out and fired a shot at a range of not more than twenty feet, the bullet passing thru Ruff's right arm and body, penetrating the heart in its course. Ruff was killed instantly. The murderer then threatened Martin Stanley, the colored fireman on the engine room floor. "If you call for the law I'll kill you and your whole family," he shouted, and then took refuge behind some steel tanks in which ice had been frozen. From this position he covered the telephone on the wall of the engine room. Stanley escaped from another door and called the police. Before they arrived, Hightower had left the building thru a rear door or to Quincy street and was not seen around the plant again. Hightower was later captured by Patrolman Pinkston who stationed himself in the house of Hightower's father-in-law, and as the murderer opened the door and started in, he was met with the barrel of a high-powered revolver in the hands of a fearless officer, who carried him to the station in a car and quietly sped away across the country to Lawrence, where the jailor refuses him admission. They continued the journey to the State Prison at Lansing, where Hightower was placed behind secure bars. Officer Pinkston remarked to the Chief of Police and Sheriff that he would see that he was protected if, death it meant." He stayed with him until he was locked in the cell at Lansing TO THE BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOLS OF KANSAS Your attention is called to the fact that the State Sunday School convention will meet in Tppeka in June of this year, and as is our custom, you will each elect a program delegate on the first Sundap in May, 1922, and send the name of the one selected to the Corresponding Secretary Miss Fay Oliver, 3725 East Douglas avenue, Wichita, Kansas. It is our hope that you will begin to plan now for the success of the convention, we hope that you will have a representative from your school. We are planning a strong program for the session. "The Church School and its needs" will be the leading subject of the session. We are raising $700 for Home and Foreign Missions. Letters will be read from Mrs. F. B. Watson, our Missionary now working with the Bassa and Pesse Tribes near Monrovia, in Africa. Plans must be perfected for further help to our Missionary Pastors of Kansas. For us to fail financially, this year, means a great set back to the mission work. Please begin your plans now for the work. The exact dates of the session will come to you later. Yours for the Work.
