THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR NUMBER THIRTY-FIVE Dr. R.H. Boyd, Master Printer Dies in Nashville, Tenn. Was National Figure and Advocate of Higher Buisiness Ideals Among Negroes. A great man has fallen. The peo-martyr to the cause of the Coloreople of these United States and the Baptists. The Race is in its infancy world at large will mourn the Dr. R. in the business world for great war H. Boyd who died at his home in his struggle to teach them their first Nashville, Tennessee, Wednesday, alphabets along that line. He had all August 23, after a long illness from kinds and all sorts of men to contend diabetes. He was a man who started from humble life, Born a slave, by honest efforts and hard work and being a devoted follower of Christ he became a great expounder of the Gospel and a leading Baptist. He was one of the founders of the Colored Baptists of this country. Through his great Baptist Publishing House and news publications the colored Baptists grew by leaps and bounds. He was the first Colored man to organize and equip a printing plant from top to bottom with all kinds of presses, type, linotypes and all the other printing machinery of the most modern design and gave hundreds of Colored young men and women an opportunity to learn a trade as well as become stenographers and typists and book keepers. He travelled, lectured and preached for the National Baptist Convention of which he was a general officer. As soon as he had placed the institution on a solid basis and was printing the literature for the Sunday schools, D. Y. P. U, and church, and a little money began to flow into the coffers, jealousy began to rise in the hearts of many who envied his standing with the public, and as his popularity grew the more they fought him until the split came. He never wavered; just stood by his guns and won every legal battle in the courts which recognized him as Secretary to the Publication Board and Convention which positions he held until his death. He stood in the clas with John Brown of Harper's Ferry and died a Colored Man Shot for Resenting Brutal Assault Chas. E. Myers was born in Howard County, near Fayette, Mo., August 31, 1692, and made his debut in the world as any other personage. It was not in his power to say when and or how he should be born. No power that he could ever could change the color of his skin or establish his social standing. No influence he could bring to bear could break down the bias of segregation and ostracism in which he found himself. Amid these biased surroundigs, he grew to manhood. It was unevenly matched that he started on his journey from the cradle to the grave. It was in an uneven match that he made his exit. It was not his to reach the dizzy heights of intellectuality and back in the sunlight of the deceitful praise of men and women. He was not possessed of enormous wealth of houses and lands, but he was the possessor of a soul that realized that out of one blood God created all nations and all races. He was the possessor of that which attracts the attention of the busy world and caused it to save, "Behold the man." He was called to the service of the United States on October 20th, 1917, being the first one called from Howard County. He responded and began training at Camp Funston, where he remained for eight months. At the end of this period, he sailed for France with the 499th Machine Gun Battalion of the 92nd Division. He was on the firing line. He fought in the trenches. He inhaled the poisonous gases. He did not flinch from death but with determination written on his brow, he met and hurled back the enemy, the much dreaded foe of the allied nations. Joining hands with his romadas, he snatched victory from their covetous hands and gave to the world peace. He enabled the flag of peace and protection to float in the breeze in manlike splendor. He became an expert gunman and was awarded a medal for bravery. He formed many friendships in the army among both officers and men. He was a good soldier walking as he did in the footsteps of his grandfather Chas. Tolson who fought in the Civil War. On Sunday night, August 13th, after the day had denaried and after the birds had come to rest, after the shadows of night had fallen, after a day's service had been rendered for the master and Heavenly beadlection had been called down upon the church and community, the stillness of the night was broken by two pistol shots. Charlie Myers had fallen, killed by a royal officer Jack Wills. Myers had clapped a small colored boy. He told the officer who at once went and created him. On their way up town Myers asked to be allowed to call the man he worked for to on his hand. He was refused this privilege. Wills asked him why he had clapped the cow. Myers said: "I am like you. I will hit anyone who tries to get me in my face over nothing." A few words assed and Wills struck him in the end with his cane cutting a deer martyr to the cause of the Colored Baptists. The Race is in its inqfancy in the business world for great was his struggle to teach them their first alphabets along that line. He had all kinds and all sorts of men to contend with. They being men of ordinary literary training with no visions, thought they were his equals. He had a vision but they were too dense to see it; the more he tried to show them the blinder they got and the more determined to wreak. They quit him and went another direction and joined with the white man man and bought his literature and he did most of their printing, notwithstanding Dr. Boyd was giving employment to the boys and girls in the Baptist printing plant owned by these misguided people. Yet this white man only allowed them to sweep out his plant with no hope of future advancement and this seems to be the characteristic of the Race today. A great man has passed, and he was in the class of Lincoln and Fred Douglas. They all had a vision; all rose from obscurity; all had a vision and the Lord so ordained that they should arrive on the scene when this poor and outraged race should need them and each played their part well and passed on to glory. The white race is and will forever sing Lincoln's praises and build monuments to commemorate his good name and his good work. Washington, Douglas and Boyd had to meet the assaults of their race for doing what was right and for their best interests. The race will sooner or later learn to respect the leadership and and just work of their best women and men who are honestly sacrificing for their uplift. A great man has fallen; and the race has no one to fill his place.—in any way to see hat this great Nick Chiles, Editor cash in his forehead an fracturing his skull. Myers fell to his knees at the officer's feet, throw him down and hold him until he asked for help. Myers let him up, faced him and said "If I were like you, I would kill you." He stooped to pick up his coat and Wills shot him. The first shot struck him in the lower jaw, ranging thru the neck and coming out his shoulder. He lowered his gun and shot him through the back 'before he could straighten up. His gun was so close to his victim that the powder marks were on his body. He did not finch or utter a sound as brave men seldom do. He ran around a nearby oil station. Wills started to shoot him again. At this point he was told by George Stapleton not to shoot again. Myers fell in the alley a few yards away. Wills made the assertion: I don't believe I hit him. I didn't, I will if it takes all night." Feeling as any coward would, he went at once and deputized a man to go with him to accomplish his purpose. When he returned, he found Myers dying. When asked by the sheriff if he had summoned a doctor, he said, "No, let the ******bleed to death, if he don't I'll kill him." Eye witnesses saw that the crime was brutal and malicious. There was no reason whatever for such a crime other than to carry out threats which the officer had previously made. He told another officer that he was going to kill Myers the first time he winked his eye and for him to do likewise. This officer went to Myers' employer and told him what Wills had said to him. After the killing, Wills was asked by a white man how he felt after such a crime. His reply was, "I went home and slept like a log." This was the second boy he had killed. The better element of white people are as eager to have him brought to justice as the colored people. Quite a number of them not only went to the house and to the church, but tothe cemetery and at this time stand ready to help in any way to see that this great wrong be righted as far as it is possible. This because of the fact that Charlie was popular among all classes of people and his mother is a woman who is respected in her community, belonging as she does to the Tolson family, which is considered one of the best colored families in Howard County. At theCoroner's inquest little interest was shown as far as seeing that justice was meted out but went so far as to exonerate the officer. Not only was Mr. Myers a loyal citizen and soldier but he was a good kind hearted. Jolly boy who numbered his friends by his acquaintances. He was industrious and honest, working ten years in the employ of Mr. Wilbur Woods, who conducts a transfer business. This work took him into the homes of most of the people of Fayette. His pleasing manner and pleasing smile made him a favorite among all who knew him. He will be greatly missed by the entire community and deeply mourned by a host of relatives and friend. His good mother, Mrs. Mattle Myers, is broken hearted. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Harris from the Second Baptist church. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER, 1, 1922. Elected Grand Master of Kansas Masons 1830 Kansas Masons Hold 47th Annual Session in Kansas City Reports Show That Order is in Excellent Financial Shape. Resolutions covering Numerous Suggestions for Improvement of Racial Conditions Passed. Prince Hall, Royal Arch, Grand Commandrey and Grand Lodge met in Kansas City, Kansas, last week and a more harmonious and finer session was never held in their history. The Grand Chapter met Monday and reports showed that wonderful progress had been made. Gus Hamers, of Kansas City, Kansas, Grand High Priest and Benjamin Payne, Grand Secretary, F. M. Stoneetreet, Grand Secretary. The Grand Commandrey met Tuesday and reports showed us the order in good condition. John Clark, E. C.; Thomas Brown, Grand Secretary. Prince Hall Grand Lodge, A. F. and A. M., met in Sumner F. High School in their 47th Annual Session Grand Master, H. I. Monroe, presided. All other officers were present. After the appointment of committees the lodge got down to business. The reports showed over $14000 on hand and a mortgage for $3500 making a grand total of about $18000. Charity donations of over $500 were given to blind masons, helpless widows and orphans and to those who were old and feeble. Grand Master Monroe in his annual address stirred the Masons to a high pitch of enthusiasm by advising them to improve their condition by being frugal industrious and to form business organizations—make use of the finance of the various lodges and the Grand Lodge. If this suggestion should be carried out the race would be a power. Under the new law no Grand Master can serve over two years. On Wednesday night the nine subordinate lodges held a reception in the St. John A. M. E. church with a program of speeches and song. Mayor Burton made the welcome address. He seems to be all right but we can't tell until he is tested when the other fellow shows up on the other side. Grand Master Monroe responded. Theo were several addresses and songs. The program was too long. It is to be hoped that the Colored people of Kansas City will quit trying to put everybody on program. The Grand Lodge presented the retiring Grand Master, H. I. Monroe, a handsome present in the form of a beautiful $45 hand bug in appreciation of his faithful services of five years which were beneficial to the Race as well as to the Craft. The following resolutions were passed which shows the trend of the progress Prince Hall is making: To the Most W. G. M., Officers and Members of Prince Hall Grand Lodge We, Your Committee on Resolutions, beg to submit the following report: Be it resolved by Most Worshipful Prince Grand Lodge now in its 47th Annual Grand Session: 1st. We heartily endorse the splendid five years administration of the retiring Grand Master, Brother H. I. Monroe and a vote of thanks he extended to him and spread on the pages of our minutes. 2nd. That ttthe Grand Secretary send a telegram to President Hard ng and Senators Curtis and Capper urging the commutation of sentence and release of the soldiers in the Federal prison at Ft. Leavenworth, whom we believe are being wrongly held for participating in the Houston riot, and for the passage of the of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill now lying dormant in the Senate. 3rd. We commend tthe great good be- ing done for the country and the race by the N. A. A. C. P. and recommend that each subordinate lodge pay one dollar per year to said Association and become a member. 4th. We recommend that some attention be paid to the juveniles of Masonry who are to become the men and women of tomorrow and ask the adoption of resolution and plans handed us by brother Masons for your consideration. (Here read resolution.) 5th We see a brighter future for the race everywhere, and we urge all Masons in their respective communities to use diligence and care and see that our young people have employment and that they be loyal and sturdy to their possitions. 6th. that a committee of five be appointed to communicate with other grand lodges of Kansas for a closer relation of race unity and on business methods. 7th. We ask our race to take a higherer stand in the political world and become leaders instead of tools and lockeys. That they become factors in all political campaigns and competitors for public offices from road overseeer to president. That we are not holding our proportion of political jobs in accordance to our wealth and education. 8th That too many of our supposed race leaders accept immoral patronage and a few paltry dollars for services rendered, and the white office holders so recognizes which is impinging the progress of the race. We further recommend that committees be formed in various communities in the State to inform these office holders that we stand for higher morals and a right to recommend suitable persons for positions, and that the privilege of gambling, selling booze, dope and policy games is no patronage for political reward. 9th. We further recommend that a vote of thanks be extended to the local lodges and committees on entertainment for the pleasant and dignified manner of entertaining the Grand Lodge, also the honorable mayor, board of education for the use of the building, custodian and citizens. Respectfully submitted, Nick Chiles, H. J. McKinney, Geo. Stewart, John Goodwin, James T. Richardson, Wm. White. It was ordered that a copy of these resolutions be put in the daily papers.

WEALTHY JUNK DEALER DIES Kansas City, Kansas, Aug. 27. One of the greatest and most successful Colored business men in Kansas died last week in the person of Mr. Samuel Diggs, who was engaged in the junk business and who also did several thousands of dollars worth of business in that and in real estate deals. He owned a brick lodge building with three lodge rooms and one-half of the Colored lodges of the city met in this building. He was a member of most every Colored lodge in Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri. He was Grand Chief of The Sons and Daughters of Jerusalem. He was a great Race man—one who did everything to help them to prosper. He was good to the poor, the widow and the orphan; a good upright Christian gentleman. Both races will miss him. He helped the poor whites as well as the colored. He leaves a wife, children, relatives and a host of friends to mourn their loss. Young People's Congress Endorses Rev.

The fare to Los Angeles and back is $79.50 and many of the preachers are reading the members out of church who fail to contribute to their expenses on this big National Baptist Picnic. We made a good showing in the last election, notwithstanding many of our so-called leaders gave their votes to candidates who made their campaign on the Negro. The welfare of the Negro is far above any given denomination or any politic party. We want wealth, we need it badly, but coming into the possession of wealth by some inferior individuals does not mean the ability to lead. Vulgar money has attempted to dictate society standard, the boot-legger has been given too much credence in this community. The pool room and dive owner should not be given positions in the church because they give freely of their filthy lucre. It is all of our business when some designing crook takes advantage of an army of illiterate church goers. Taking refuge behind our "church and nobody's business" does not suffice. We move act, and perform in groups now. Mr. E. T. James, the advance agent for the Wisemen, spent several days here with his family. He is putting this order on the man. School is about to open again and the tutcheers don't know how much they are to be paid nor how long the school is to run. The Negro school system throughout the south is becoming a party force. Just be insistent for a principle and the week minded will call you a radical or afenatic. To be popular just stand more fifth than the other fellow without a protest and you are a society leader or a good conservative. Both Democrats and Republicans are competing as to which one has humiliated the Negroes of Oklahoma the most. What we need is to kick out every white guardian. Until we do this we are not in position to invite the public to our city. Common desecency demands that the teachers go to Boly this year for their meeting. Aidmore is unfit morally and otherwise to have such high class men and women of the Race to meet there. While Welch and his wife are languishing in jail for a murder they did not commit and the two colour lawyers are doing all they can, the washroommen for their fire to go to Los Angeles, Big Baptist bathing at Los Angeles. It seems that "Old Pete" called his way back to be Grand Master. He has a popular spin on the battered-brained humour. All he needs is "I am ignorant and have not had my hair rubbed against the college wall—That gets it. After all, what is there to all of these conventions and conferences? For 12 years we have had them, now point with pride what we have given the railroads and the purchasing of peanuts, popcorn and red soda water. BARTLESVILLE, OKLAHOMA. Mr. and Mrs. T. I.

Nick Chiles; Please allow me space in your partner for the following remarks: According to the Chicago Defender of August 26th, five colored women were attacked by a mob of southern white men while waiting for a train at the Prisco station in the little town of Hutt, Mo. All of these ladies are married and their husbands are well to do farmers. They were going to Biltmore, Ark, and it was necessary that they remain at this place between trains for nearly four hours. There are only a few colored people in the town and they had to lay in the station for the night in a Jim crow waiting room. It is said that a colored man came alone about 10 o'clock and made the remark that it was not safe for the ladies to remain there place, but did not offer to remain with them or to allow them to remain at his house as protection. This is a Prisco station and I am working for the company. The ladies are bringing suit against the tullroad because the agent failed to protect them while on transit and on railroad property. They made so much noise when attacked and put up such a hard fight that the white people of the town came to their rescue. There was not a colored man in the whole town who dared to offer to protect them. How was that that for Negro manhood? I think that Professor Kelley Miller ought to teach manhood instead of advocating Jim crow schools. There is where he is making his mistake and is not a true race man. Yours truly, J. H. Croft.
