Special The U. B. F. Grand Lodge Session held one of the best sessions in it's History. We will write full particulars in next issue. Dr. O'Hara Miller elected Grand Master and Mrs. Sarah Parks Grand Princess. The Race is getting together; stop- ing law suits on frivolous matters; money in Treasury. No funds missappropriated, only need is to study economy and finance. National Grand Master, H. W. Jamison was present and gave a better light on how to increase the membership and the finance as well. Dr. E. C. Morr National Bapti tion Dies Eminent Divine Passes A lowing Death Dr. Charles Stewart Little Rock, Ark.-In the death of Rev. Elias Camp Morris, D. D., of Helena, Arkansas, the race lost one of it's strongest advocates and a sane and safe leader. He was the recognized leader of the Negro Baptist of the world and was considered authority on matters pertaining to the race or denomination. Twenty-eight years ago he was elected president of the National Baptist Convention, one of the largest religious organizations in the world, and was elected every year since, and thus rendering 28 consecutive years at the head of that great convention, and perhaps would have been in the convention at the time of his death. Led the meeting not been postponed on account of the strike. Under his leadership the National Baptist Publi-hing Board was organized, and a publishing house established, loca in Nashville, felices ce. This plant was brought into life at the National Baptist convention held in St Louis, September 1896, by the election of a secretary—Recently it was necessary to make some changes, and Dr. A. M. Townsend, is now Secretary of the Sunday School Publishing Board, and Dr. Morris assisted in securing the new location, and lived to see started the new plant now under construction to cost $200,000. It was his desire that this plat be erected and owned, controlled and directed by the National Baptist Convention. Although he has gone the work will be pushed and completed. There have been many improvements made in the operation of the National Baptist Convention and general Boards, he has insisted that the Secretary give their entire time to the work of the Boards of which they are Secretaries. The establishment of the National Baptist Voice, was another neccomplishment under his administration. The Voice is the official organ of the National Baptist Convention and has a wide circulation throughout the country. The Home and Foreign Mission Work would perhaps shine out as the greatest missionary achievement under his administration as president of the National Baptist Convention. For the past thirty years, the convention has owned a number of mission stations in Africa and South America, carrying out the foreign mission policy of the Convention. For the past twenty years the Home Mission work in the South has been carried on jointly between the Home Mission Board of the National Baptist Convention and the Home Mission Board of the Morris was largely instrumental in making the joint arrangements with white Baptist of the South. He was foremost in making arrangements with the Southern Baptist Convention on for means to establish a National Baptist Theological Seminary for Negro Preachers throughout the world. He did not live to see the plan consumed, but work has already begun on this enterprise and will be carried to early completion. Dr Morris was recognized leader in his state and had the love and confidence of the people of Arkansas. He was brave, he was honest, he was true, and never failed to speak for his people, and was uncompromising in his plea for their political, civil and manhood rights. On all occasions he condemned the "Jim Crow" law, and declared it a step backwards in TO CORRESPONDENTS Beginning with the first issue in October, we shall go to press on Wednesday.

Suggs, 67, a truck gardener, living north of Topeka, died yesterday at his home. He came to Shawnee County in 1880. He had no children and is survived only by his widow. The funeral was in charge of Mount Moriah Lodge No 5, A. F. and A. M. is, Head of Baptist Conven- s in Little Rock Away Just One Week Fol- of Dr. Boyd. civilization. He believed in the future of his people. He won his place in their hearts by the service he rendered. Dr. Morris was born in Murray County, Georgia, May 7, 1885 he was trained in the public schools of Alabama, and Roger Williams University, but most of his training was in the practical school of experience, for he is a teacher. he was indeed a practical man. The State University, Louisville, Ky. Dr. W. J. Simmons, President, conferred on him the Degree of Doctor of Divinity, in 1892, and in 1902, he received the Degree f Philosophy, from the A. and M. College, Normal, Ala., W. H. Council, president. In the year 1876, he was ordained to the Baptist Ministry, and the same year was called to the pastorate of the Centennial Baptist Church, and was the pastor at the time of his death having served 43 years without a break, and may it be said that this was the only church he pastored during his whole ministry. He was elected president of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention in 1883, and has been at the head of the Baptists of Arkansas ever since, Filling it with honor, distinction and brilliance, to the hour of his death. During this time, he brought into life the Arkansas Baptist College—in fact he was the founder of that institution which is doing so much for the education of the youth. He served as chairman of the Board of Trustees, during all these thirty-eight years, with the exception of two or three years and was filling that position also when his summons came. At the beginning of his administration as president of the Convention here was a church membership in the state of thirty-five thousand and at the close of his life it had reached one hundred and ten thousand. This rapid growth of the denomination is the largely to his official activity, and to his determined effort by which missionaries were kept on the field in the interest of the denominational work. He was also founder of the Arkansas Times, Arkansas Baptist, now the Baptist Vanguard. He was devoted to his family. It was in 1684 that he was married to Miss Fannie E. Austin, of Fackler, Alabama. From this union there were born four boys and five girls. Those survive him, his widow, Flint Austin; Fred Douglass; Mattie E. Marquess; Sara Hope Profit; and John Spurgeon. WESTERN GRANDMASTER OF MASONS IN CITY Grand Master Emmett Holmes, of the Masonic Grand Lodge of the state of Washington, stopped in the city a few days this week and was the guest of Hon. H. I.

This is Mr. Holmes's first visit to Kansas and he has a Sphincted opinion of the Capital of the State. He is one of the highest salaried men of our race in Washington state, being record clerk at the state Prison in Walla Walla. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER, 8, 1922. Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill on List to be Passed Before Adjournment Republicans Accuse Demoeratic Solid South of Attempting to Block Important Legislation. Washington, D. C., Sept. 8.—One of the bills on the legislative program to be enacted before the Congress adjourns is the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. This bill was passed by the House and has been reported favorably by the Senate Judiciary Committee to the Senate. The passage of this bill is demanded for two reasons: first, because it is needed in order to enforce the federal Constitution, uphold law and order and protect otherwise defenceless citizens who are entitled to all the protection of the government; second, because such legislation was specifically pledged by the Republican party in its national platform of 1920 and specifically urged by President Harding in his message to Congress April 12, 1921. The last national Republican platform stated: "We urge Congress to consider the most effective means to end lynching in this country, which continues to be a terrible blot on our American civilization." President Harding in his first message to the special session of Congress on April 12, 1921, said: "Congress ought to wipe out the stain of barbaric lynching from the banners of free and representative democracy." There is a growing demand upon the part of the law abiding people to have a federal law that will punish local communities which permit mobs and lynching. This feeling has become more pronounced and intense since the increasing frequency of such horrors as the recent mob at lerrin, Illinois. The mob spirit which is spreading is due to several reasons, all of which have their base in the unbridled passions of certain interests which seek to gain their ends by violence and crime rather than by orderly proces of the law. These radical influences have added their opposition to that of the Democratic "Sclid South" to the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching law. The backbone of the opposition to the Dyer anti-lynching law, continues to be the Democratic party, which is against the protection of the life and property of the Negro. This has been conclusively proved by the fact that of the 3,224 persons lynched, 2,706 were Negroes, practically all of whom were lynched in the Democratic states of the South. The record in 1922 promises to be greater than for many previous years. During the first six months of this year there were 30 lynchings. Of these 28 were Negroes. Five of them were burned at the stake. All of these lynchings occurred in the states which compose the "Solid South." Nineteen of the 30 were lynched in two states—Mississippi and Texas. These figures clearly locate the blame for lynching. That the Democratic "Solid South" is in favor of lynching and opposed to any interference of the federal government to uphold law and order is proved by the record of the Democratic members of the Congress who consistently oppose all bills looking to the stopping of lynching and the punishment of lynchers. Practically the solid Democratic vote in the House was lined up against the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. There has been no suggestion that there is any hope of changing these conditions by the actions of the states themselves. It simply denies the power of Congress to pass the law and with a certain navette says this proposed intervention of the government "would destroy all sense of local responsibility for the protection of persons and property and the administration of justice from which sense of legal responsibility alone protection and governmental efficiency can be secured among free people." "It is certainly humorous to think that these gentlemen敢当 the destruction of a 'sense of local responsibility' which have in many years never punished a lyncher" The chief objection raised against the Dyer bill by its opponents is that it is unconstitutional because it provides for the usurpation of state police rights by the federal government. The most obvious and effective answer to that is the prohibition amendment to the federal Constitution and its enforcement. This amendment was voted almost solidly by the representatives of the "Solid South" and it was ratified by the Democratic "Solid South" states. How illogical and absurd it is, then, to contend that it is unconstitutional for the federal government to enter a state and arrest a man for the sale of liquor Past Grand Master Monroe Made Enviable Record for Kansas Masons THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN The Hon. H. I. Monroe, retiring a handsome present as a token of their Grand Master of the Masons, Kansas Jurisdiction, made such a splendid good during his term of office, that the Shawnee County members of he Grand Lodge gave him but unconstitutional for the federal government to enter the same state and prevent the same man from being hanged or burned at the stake. The plan that the anti-lynching bill is unconstitutional is thoroughly answered by reports read in the House and Senate by the Judicial Committees of each. These reports are voluminous and quote decision after decision of the United States Supreme Court. Both the Senate and House Committee reports state: Takes His First Trip to the Windy City Mr. W. S. Eagleton, an employee of the Santa Fe has at last taken his first trip to Chicago. Oh, we would liked to have seen this Jayhawker in the Windy City. We would have needed "The Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution provides that no state "shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws' and further provides that the Congress shall have the power to enforce by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article. It is thus made the duty of the Congress under the Constitution to enact such laws as may be needful to assure that at no state shall deny any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws" "The committees quote former Justice Brewer upon this point to the effect that the Fourteenth amendment prohibits any state from depriving any person of his life, liberty or property without due process of law nor shall deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the law It is pointed out that a state may deprive a person within its jurisdiction of his life or liberty or deny him the equal protection of the law in two ways: first by an act of the legislative department of the state; second by an act of any executive authority such as governor, sheriff or police official. Another decision cited in the report of each of the committees is that handed down by Chief Justice White in the interpretation of the Fourteenth amendment. This decision has that of Justice Brewer, held that while it was the duty of the state to see to that each of its citizens was given equal protection of the law, it was equally the duty of the United States to treat that no state does equal protection of the laws to any citizen. In summing up the arguments in behalf of the anti-lynching bill the Senate committee's report counter as follows from a brief submitted it by Mr. Moonfield Storey. "Either Congress has the power to pass the legislation against lynching, or the United States cannot protect its own citizens from murder and their property from destruction at the Continued on Page Four Takes His First Trip to the Windy City Mr. W. S. Eagleson, an employee of the Santa Fe has at last taken his first trip to Chicago, Oh. we would liked to have seen this Jayhawker in the Windy City. We would have needed four eyes to see him. He is past forty. He certainly ought to have a monument erected to his memory for he is the only man we have heard of who can ride on passes and has only ridden 65 miles the fartherest in 16 years but that is nothing strange for Bill as he is one of those big hearted generous fellows who attends to his own business. A well informed man reads much and is well up on everything. He made no idle moments a home man, owns his home and is preparing to build a new one. He is one of the Santa Fe Safety First men. BISHOP J. ARTHUR HAMLETT VISITS TOPEKA Topeka and all of Kansas are proud of the new bishop of the C. M. H. church who was elected at the General Conference in St. Louis last May. When Bishop Hamlett visited Topeka a few days ago with his good wife, he could hardly pass up Kansas. We, for his friends who congratulated him on being elected to the highest position in the gift of the church, he pastored in Topeka for several years and made a host of friends of both ages. Several social functions were given in their honor. Oklahoma and Arkansas will be blessed in having him to preside over them. Mrs. Ella Kros of the Memorial Building visited friends in Kansas City last week. She is a busom widow and very industrious. Mr. Sherman Huff of Chicago has bought a fine apartment at 6740 Lawrence Avenue, Chicago, at a cost of $10,000. He is in the Pullman service with a record of 21 years, and runs on the California Limited of the Santa Fe. His mother lives on East 10th street. PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR Master Princess TO OUR READERS.. We aim to go to press on Thursday of each week, and we do unless something beyond our control intervenes. We were late this week and last because our machinery broke down on us, and the broken parts had to be made. Things of this nature do not happen often, but they happen to all newspapers some time during their career, and know no color line. All we ask is just a little patience and we assure you that hereafter you shall have a newspaper of which you will be proud. Topeka Gas Co. Shows Improvement Under the New Management The Gas Company of Topeka, under the management of Mr. Swan, the receiver and Mr. Coffield, the new manager, has made great strides toward giving the gas users first class service as well as spending thousands of dollars in extending the mains to new territory, employing hundreds of laborers to carry on this great work, meaning thousands of dollars being spent with the merchants. These gentlemen will be able to do more when the twenty year franchise is granted by the city commissioners which will insure plenty of gas for Topeka. They have a fine display of stoves and other appliances of the latest patents for gas users at reasonable prices. If the commissioners will awake to a sense of duty they will give this corporation what they ask for thereby making Topeka a greater city to live in. PAULEN SURE OF ELECTION The Republicans of Kansas had better keep their eyes upon ex-Senator Benj. F. Paulen of Fredonia, a candidate for Lieutenant Governor on the Republican and who had no opposition in the primaries. He was an oil inspector and was the first one to put the oil business on themap in Kansas, where the state profited much. He is a dignified gentleman who makes friends everywhere. We predict he will lead the rest of the ticket at the November election. He is fair, honest and upright and no position in the gift of the people is too lofty for him to hold and the people can depend upon him giving them one hundred per cent service. CONGRESSMAN WHITE PRESIDES AT PARTY COUNCIL Congressman Hayes B. White of the 6th District presided over the party council of the Republican last week and made those present feel as if the old party had just begun to grow. He told of the present history of the achievements of the party now going on in Washington. That the people could just see prosperity across the street. The voters made no mistake when they sent him to Washington. He is on important committees. Kansas is proud of him and wish to assure the president and his colleagues that he will be sent back to Congress supporting the Dyer Bill and all other measures of the best interest of the people. CONGRESSMAN TINCHER PRESENT AT COUNCIL Congressman Polly Tincher of the 7th District camped in Kansas during the primaries and stayed for the party council and assisted in writing the platform which is first class when it comes to building party platforms, especially where the party is doing things as the President and his Congress are doing. Mr. Tincher is at home when it comes to writing platforms. He saw to it that wishes of the Colored Delegation who appeared before the committee for the clause asking the Senate to pass the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill. He voted and worked for the passage in the House. He says that he has recommended that Colored constituents have representation in his district. He made several speeches while in Kansas, showing what great obstacles the Republican party had overcome in 18 months of Republican rule. He is a good mixer, knows the Kansas people and speaks their language fluently. If he continues to do so he will be in Congress until he will be too old to hear the speaker. --- Coulia Maindealer FOUNDED JANUARY 1899 Nick Chiles, Editor and Owner Geo. C.

Wise Old Owl Goes to Church... Last Sunday the "Wise Old Owl," went to Calvary Baptist Church to enjoy all the services from B. Y. P. U. He found an unusually live interest being manifested in this popular in young people's society. The young men who acted as president and Master of Ceremonies, respectively, made excellent showings. The persons who lead the various topics shown that they had spent a great deal of time in preparation for their parts on the program. The Group Leaders were very serious in their efforts to see that strangers were given parts to play in the conduct of the service. A practical as well as eloquent sermon was delivered by the pastor and evidently was enjoyed as sermons seldom are. The wide-awake ushers saw that all the strangers were introduced and made welcome by the church, and individual members of the congregation. This "welcoming" process goes a long way toward making the lonely stranger feel at home, and tends to lessen the danger of his scalling into evil hands. The "Wise Old Owl" left church feeling better than he had for several weeks. We cannot understand how so many of our friends can consider the expect The Plaindealer to publish all of their social and otherwise happenings, and then feel good when they hit because we charge just enough to "get by" on for job printing. Many people have been heard to say that they consider The Plaindealer or the work incident to getting it out each week as exceedingly conical but if these same persons will just go down to the Plaindealer office and labor just one half day, they will not only cease to se the comedy connected with newspaper, but will wonder how newspapers manage to get along so well.

It can tax, but it cannot save the taxpayer. That lynching is a nation-wide evil, that no action by the states can be expected and that the civil should be abated for the sake of the nation quite as much as for the sake of those who suffer by it must be conceded. "To admit that the nation is powerless to abate such evil and to protect its own citizens is to admit that our government is weaker than any other civilized government. This is an admission which we should be ashamed to make. In speaking of the reasons why Congress proposed the Fourteenth amendment which forbids any state from depriving any citizen of his life or liberty or denying him equal protection of the laws and as to why the Congress included the proviso that it should have "the power to enforce by appropriate legislation the provision of this article," the brief states: Says her hair has grown 28 inches long by using this wonderful hair grower This is a wondful preparation.

Walton for governor but the bal-ment was intended to meet was aance of the ticket will be for the Revery practical one, and the amend-publican nominees. The reason of this ment should receive a construction call- that Walton represents more what culated to accomplish its purpose, not the Negroes want but the balance of to defeat it. The enfranchised Ne-his bunch is old southern reaction-groes were dwelling in communities ary democrats who oppose the Negro where they had been held as slaves, having the ballot. -- The amendment was passed to secure these rights and to give Congress the power to maintain them. It never was the intention of the people who adopted the amendment that the states so recently in rebellion should be able to nullify the amendment by non-action, and should be able to plead that the persons who trampled upon the new citizens were merely private persons for whose acts the state was not responsible." The Senate committee's majority report closes with these words! "American citizenship is indeed a badge of honor; it should be, and this bill seeks to make it, a shield of protectin to every American citizen—man, wman and child, native and naturalized—who stands on American soil, hedged around and gaurded, as they are, by the Constitution of the United States." Mason's Musings ..By J. E. Mason, Muskogee, Okla. The coming of the three Ks has Just too much time is given to big church meetings, which have for their purpose the propagation of creeds, eliminated our devotion to any political party. We are by force of conditions compelled to select the man and his platform rather than parties. Money in the hands of ignorance means extravagance, immorality, revelry. In the hands of intelligence, denomination and fostering positions for the Negro Ministry. means social, industrial and commercial uplift. The men who fought and bled and sacrificed for this government in the time of war, should be accorded justice and peace. All this village talk about the soldier home, shows downright meanness, prejudice, unChristian and unAmerican attitude of a certain bunch of whites. Every indication pointts to the greatest war in the history of mankind. Our military enthusiasm is below normal and "our country 'tis of thee," stuff has lost its fervor. All of which is the result of the brutal treatment we are receiving. "Old Peter" cried his way back to the head of the U. B. F.'s. We all know the intellectual status of this bunch. But we thought they would do something to stimulate confidence in the order and arrange to pay many of the claims that are now past due. We can never unite, cooperate, harmonize or create a racial program that will function as long allow our creed to take precedence over racial solidarity and race consciousness. There is an effort to hold the Negroes in the South by some ministers thru liaisons, appealing to climate conditions of the North, threats on the parts of the southern plantation owner etc. The death of Dr. Boyd took from the human forest the tallest, strongest and the most productive tree in the wilderness. He has done more to stimulate high ideals in the race than any one Negro the country ever had. His Negro doll created in the minds of the American Negro a love for his people more than all the college, donated by the whites.

Every time we have a state election and there is to be a change of certain officials in Oklahoma City, the white dailies print long articles about a certain school and the good the manager is doing the state. Same old swill. We all understand the hidden hand, its purpose and intent. Last week was spent in and around Muskogee chasing conventions and trying to "whiff" the unsuspecting out of enough money to go to California to help crown him "lord of all." But the common herd began to get leary about this free donation that the pastor might have good time with the other women and men. Our people are still going to Mexico for the betterment of their condition and the authorities are making every inducement possible to assure their welfare. One thing is certain we have had our best days in this country. If you doubt this just keep tab on the records of murder, lynching, raping, burning and the general outlawry that is perpetrated on the poor Negro throughout the country. I have followed for the last 25 years the various church conventions, conferences and assemblies. I have not seen one time any serious efforts put forth to free the Negro of bondage, disfranchisement, concubinage and a general "getting from under" the hardships and misery that is inflicted upon him. The last few weeks have witnessed the passing of two great churchmen, Drs. Boyd and Morris. These two men stood at the head of their class in the church world in so far as organization are concerned. Both ex-slaves and did their part as they saw it. In facts, they did well in handling an inherit system that no more fits the Negro, than Goliath's uniform fit David. The fair at Taft should be encouraged as it shows the Negroes ability and prevents the humiliation that obtains at the regular state fairs. We hope he day will come when our people will hold self and race respect above curiosity and a foolish desire to go where they are placed into inferior places. Something is fundamentally wrong with our public schools, the pupils become jazzy, vulgar and often fail to display those refine qualities that belong to the refined element. It seems that they lose their manners, politeness, and assume an ignorant, stubborn, self important air. We hope the trouble at first Baptist will be adjusted, to the extent that the whole town won't have to take a part in this ugly mess. We have had this "stink" before and it cost the city many dollars and the lost of personal friends. It is all of our business whether we belong to that particular church or not. Like the children of Egypt, we are in heresy and cannot extricate ourselves from its effects. You can not fight the white man and worship at his denominational shrine. No institution is stronger than the church, no doctrine is more effective than it's creed. Then to be divided into so many denominations must preclude any hope of racial unity. To argue that you don't fight any denominations and believing that every one should join any creed, is only confessing your opposition to unity and the cardinal religious principles. It is so fused that any Negro, who can command a great following of Negroes outside of the church, must die. Garvey is no exception. How can you get together when the race is divided into 65 different denom nati created by the white man. All this talk about racial cooperation will be the cause of our business is "bull-con." Quite glad to know there will be no convention in California this year. Once every six years is enough for these sacred picnics. When the Negroes really wake up and see what a fool he has been about "my church" he will sneak away and ask God to forgive him for his insane acts. Serve God and work for the upholding of the race. This new class of dancing may be the "poetry of movement" but it has a very vulgar bearing. It makes me nervous to see barrel-house "Henry" and kidnkey-foot "Carrie" all tied and wrapped with our graduates on the ball-room floor. Why dance with that class of cattle when you would not allow them in your barnyard? The plaining of the Negro boy in a cage during the parade Labor Day, reflected on every decent Negro in Muskogee. The parents of this child should be given a sound thrashing and driven out of town. SCIENTIFIC INFORMATION Chart your future, gain happiness.
