THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. OKLAHOMANS UNDER WATER--BUT LIGHT OF PROSPERITY YET LOAMS Millions of Dollars in Crops Destroyed----Favorable Weather Will Bring Big Harvest. K. K. K. SWEEPS RAPIDLY OVER ENTIRE STATE Whites Claim Ku Klux Only Solution to Check Increased Immorality and Debauchery Among Members of White Race. Editor Reviews Situation in his Personal Observations We have just returned from a trip to Oklahoma. During our stay there we visited Perry, Guthirle, Langston, Oklahoma City, Watonga, Chickasha, Anadarko, Lawton, Waurika, Shawnee El Reno, and Enid. Most of this country seems to be covered with water by the continuous rains and millions of dollars worth of crops have been destroyed in various places among our people. However the farmers have hopes and predict a fair crop, and if so, Oklahoma will be on the hoop this fall. We found among the whites quite a sentiment in favor of the Ku Klux Klan, and Colored people almost unanimously opposed to it. We found some prominent colored men who state that thru the organization of the Klan, a large number of the white people of the state have come to realize and appreciate the position now occupied by the colored man. A number of colored lawyers of this state claim they are now getting a large white practice on account of such a large number of the white lawyers are Klansman, is detrimental to the business interests of the state and has therefore created quite a hatred among the white people over the state. In discussing the Klan question among some prominent whites, they say that it was the best and only thing to regulate the morals of the whites who are becoming more degenerate every day. A large number of white men, and especially married ones, are consorting with women of questionable character, mistreating their wives, staying away from home and committing all sorts of offenses against common decency. They further say that the young white men are debauching and outraging white women to such an alarming extent, that something had to be done to check it or else there would be very highly respected, decent white people left within the next half century. They claim the officers of the law are conniving with the lower element and aiding and assisting them in the violation of the chastity of the home and the virtue of the women. That it is useless to apply to the officers of the law for assistance in eradicating these evil. We asked the question, "why they had to rob and disguise themselves to carry out their plaint; and why not join in with the officers and civic organizations who are opposed to such actions and secure the election of officers who would live up to their oath and defend the state." Their reply was that if that was done, every man would become a target for the undesirable element and would be picked off, one by one. And that it was almost impossible to elect decent, respectable officers to enforce the law in Oklahoma at this time and that they that the Klan had accomplished much and had forced the officers to somewhat straighten up and do their duty. In view of this alarming situation as it appears today, we would suggest that the Klux伞 must themselves and stand up and fight just as correctly for the rights of all men and women regardless of race or color as they did when masked, and put their strong weapon of defense the ballot, forward and let everyone vote and have that vote counted and in this way there would be little use of the Klux or any other smaller organization to enforce the officers of the law to do their sworn duty. The white man in Oklahoma and the entire Southland will continue to grow lower in the scale of lawlessness and crime, until they consider the colored man as an American citizen and record him the same rights before the courts of Justice, in public places and at the voting booth. There is a great effort being made on the part of a few, honest, respectable citizens of the white race, altho in the minority, to nominate a strong republican ticket, to overthrow the present government and formerly lived in wrexey county and bring the state up to where it will be respected and stard side by side with the respected states of the north and west. Our prediction is that the republican party will carry Oklahoma if good judgment and fair methods are used. AT PERRY We found the colored people some-what on a standstill, Mr. Cliff Talferro, is the only merchant in the town. Abe Hunter is a live wire, who conducts a cafe, owns good property and a nice home. Aside from this the race as a whole seems to be dreaming. There seems to be little progress and the impression is that it is waiting to be buried. When the funeral will be, we do not know, but unless they wake up around Perry very soon there will surely be one. The seat of the State's big educational school for colored youth, and the town which was established by the race some years ago. From a standpoint of commercial and industrial growth, this town is also at a decided standstill. The possibilities of the town becoming one of the best in the entire state are good, but it will take a little push and energy to bring it too pass. Seemingly they do not realize the importance, or they have not confidence in themselves to put the thing over. What keeps Langston alive, is the the University which was established several years ago. Prof. J. M. Marquess, the president is certainly the master of the situation and is making great history, not only for himself, but the school and the state, but the race as a whole. When he took hold of the institution a few years ago, it had relapsed into a state of chaos, owing to mismanagement and the inexperienced men who had been placed at the head by political preferment. Prof. Irman Page had built a grand and noble school, and while at the Lincoln would not stand for inferiority or bossism, but after his leaving, the school passed into irresponsible hands and after a general protest, Prof. Marquess was selected to take charge of the school and resigned as principle of the Sumner high school of Kansas City, Kansas, and answered the Macee letters of the people of Oklahoma and went down to bring up from the depths of inefficacy and decay, the institution which meant so much to Oklahoma and its racial group. When he assumed the presidency, there were numerous factions, for and against the success and growth of the school. If their man was at the hear, they were for it, if not, they were undoubtedly opposed. Another fact, was the white man who did not want to see the colored man educated and thus these various factions and groups he manipulated and carried out his designs. Thus, when Prof Marquess took the reins he was between the devil and the deep blue sea. He at once assumed the part of a diplomat and started out to bring together these untoward and opposite factions of course organized in unpleasantness, owing to the fact that he would not cater to the wrongs of one nation, but stood up for what he thought was just and right. The white man did not want higher education in the school and the factions of the race wanted their side to be in power, so Prof. Marquess got in the middle of the road and held both fact and art arms length until he got to be master of the situation. At this point, new buildings sprung up, remodeling and repairing was done, at a cost of several thousand dollars. He is now building a giant medium which will have a pool and all the necessary equipment for physical training. This also, at a cost of several thousand dollars and not a dollar out of the state's treasury.

By strict economy, this money has been accumulated from the income of the various departments and not a penny was necessary from the state. In answer to our query how it was done, he remarked, "thru the roaring, good time in the capitol painstaking and honest appliance of during their state. From all repall funds and material to its proper coming in to headquarters, there place. I, too, am surprised that such be several hundred Elks in attance. Representatives from Miss LK'S GRAND LODGE TO MEET HERE 5-6-7 OF JU The State Educational commissioners has made the statement that this institution was the best conducted and most economical, with the best discipline of any school, white or colored, in Oklahoma. The beauty of all of this, is, that Prof. Marquess, is master of the entire situation. He has the power to purchase all materials and equipment to run the institution. All contracts are made by him, the goods purchased and placed in the store room. The board does not question his honesty or veracity because they know he has the ability and qualifications to do the things properly which are entrusted to his care. A commercial department has been established and students are being taught short-hand, typewriting and bookkeeping and are making rapid progress in this work. A short while ago, he organized an annual fair, which is held on the campus, where thousands of colored farmers their wives and children meet and exhibit their products. Several hundred dollars worth of prizes are given out each year. There are 21 counties of the state represented. Prof. Marquess prides himself on hisSummer school where several hundred teachers attend during the summer months and review their work and review the lectures and addresses on methods and management of the school room. The school has its own water and sewage system which makes the entire school healthy and sanitary. We found there, thirty head of match cows and one hundred and fifty head of hogs. They grow hay, corn, alfalfa and other products. With their student body of over 500, and thirty four members of the faculty, we think in perfect order and well systemized with little friction. His wife and children are looking fine and are well and enjoying school work very much. On the faculty is to be found some of the best young brain to be found in the country. Mr Tyler, son of the late Ralph Tyler, who has several degrees from some of the best colleges of the country, is the architect engineer and electricians and can handle anything in connection with the institution. We were proud to note that all the construction and repair work being done on the campus, was being carried on by colored labor. The brick masons, carpenters and all other mechanic are union men and LK'S GRAND LODGE TO MEET HERE 5-6-7 OF JUNE The Grand Lodge of the I. B. P. O.

Political News --- We had the pleasure of meeting Mr. I. Page, the County Treasurer of Blaine County. He is now candidate for State Treasurer, subject to the Republican Primaries. Mr. Page is an honest, upright Christian gentleman who believes in fair play and a good clean, wholesome government with upright business men to administer the affairs of the state. He is proud of Oklahoma and resides there, but it is his opinion that if something is not done soon, the farmers and the laborers and substantial business men will be in the throes of anarchy and corrupt politics. He is very anxious to have the Republican party nominate a ticket composed of honest business men and if this is done, there will be no doubt about the success of the ticket. From what we saw and heard we believe it the duty of every upright citizen to utilize their time, efforts and money to nominate Mr. Page for Treasurer. If this is done the state of Oklahoma will have one of the best men who has ever held this office. He is endorsed by 80 per cent of the business men and women of his county, of both races and of all denominations. Mr. Page is recommende by everyone in his county as a good citizen and an upright business man. He should certainly be recognized by the suffrage of the entire state. WATONGA this place is a great farming community. We were glad to ind our old friend, H. S. McGee, running a fine grocody store and we are proud to say the colored people are patronizing him. He does about 50 per cent of the business of his race. There are two shoe shops, one barber shop and a small restaurant. There is a splendid school, of which Mrs H. S. McGee, is the principal. She is a first-class teacher who is making a success and doing much for the race. Mt. G. B. Payne, who conducts the shoe shop does a fine business and owns some good property. There are several colored people in this section owning farms and doing well. Or course the boll weevil and the scarcity of things to market, has put the farmer in somewrat of a wanting condition, but they are hard at it and hope to win out this fall. CHICKASHA Was our next stop and we found a number of colored people conducting small stores, restaurants and cafes. Mrs. D. Etta Smith conducts a boarding house and a hair dressing parlor. She is doing a splendid business and is one of the leading lodge women of the state. She belongs to most every lodge in the state and holds many important offices. Mrs Taliferro, the Grand Matron, was recently here on a visit. She is a highly respected officer of the O. D. S. While in Chickensha, we were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Julia Pletcher, Mr. L. S. Brown conducts a nice grocery stoe and confectionery. We met the Rev. H. Williams and wife who are among the leading citizens of Chickensha. Rev. Williams is an old friend of Palndealer and it is always a pleasure to him to accompany us to make our collations. In, we found the pastor to Baptist church was not led by his congregation.
