The weather was good, making it agreeable and convenient for everyone to come. The Band of Leavenworth furnished the music, also the orchestra for the dance, each giving some beautiful and pleasing selections. Prof. J. P. King of Kansas City, Kansas and Prof. G. R. Bridgeforth, of Topeka, were the speakers of the day, both giving very interesting speeches. The quartet was unable to be with us this year owing to school work. The Topeka Colored baseball team was unable to be here and the "Oskie colored team" played the "Oskie" whites. The game was a one-sided affair, the "Oskie Blacks" fairly running away with the game. The score was 27 to 8 in the Blacks' favor. The band concert and dance at night which ended the "perfect day" was well attended, making the celebration as a whole the best that has ever been given, everyone having en enjoyed a good time. The citizens of Oskaloosa, Kansas, Jefferson County want everyone to come again. rence Held wrence, Kansas the Most Interesting Ever $6000 Raised. A. A. Allen; St. Luke, Lawrence, T. W.

Lynne Anthony Wilson, candidate for Register of Deeds for Franklin County, is a very popular lady. She was born in the county and taught school there. She is a member of the Baptist Church and the Ladies Business, Club. Her office and books are up to the minute, neatly kept. She has lady assistants who are kind and accommodating. Miss Wilson is a Democrat and has about as many Republican supporters as Democrats. Her friends say her majority will be very large because she treats everybody fairly. Hon. Geo. A. Byrd, candidate for re-election as Probate Judge for Franklin County, will have no trouble in being re-elected. He is a fine upright Christian gentleman, a lawyer and scholar and stands four squares the year round. He farmed the last few years to show the doctors he could live. His friends decided to run him for Probate Judge. His township is overwhelmingly Republican. He carried most every precinct in the County. He is a Democrat, but gentleman first. His re-election is sure. . By Mildred Irwin LYNNE ANTHONY WILSON HON, GEO. A, BYRD TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 29, 1922 No Race Riot in New York, Says Negro Newspaper Amsterdam News Accuses Daily Papers of Spreading False Riot Story. Farm Conference to be Held at K.I.E.I. This Year New York City, Sept. 26.—Newspapers over the country carried reports of an alleged riot between white ande Colocd people in the famous "San Juan" district of New York City. Now comes a story in The New York Amsterdam Neus, a Negr newspaper, in which it is claimed there was no riot at all. The following is the article as it appears: "Exaggerations by the Daily Press could not take on a larger proproportion than the description of the little brawl occurring in West 53rd street, last Sunday evening. An example of this is shown in the New York Herald's account of the affair. "Blacks and Whites Riot in 53rd Street," and "Armies clash with razors, knives and bricks." The truth of the matter is, there was no riot at all. It is true that there was some throwing of missiles and stones by colored and white children and interference by older heads with some injuries near and around the corner of Tenth avenue and 53rd street, with nobody seriously injured. The report, also that the trouble started because of colored tenants moving into houses in the neighborhood and crowding out the white tenants, by paying higher rents, is also untrue A large number of houses in A Sunday Afternoon Visit to K.I.E.I. By Geo. C. Anderson. Recently, on Sunday afternoon, on a sight-seeing tour of the city, in company with Mr. Shirley Gardenhire, I went out to the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute, to see this rather famous state school for the training of the colored youth. It so happened that we were picked up by one of the trucks belonging to the school and taken right up to the front door of the main building. Here, in company with one of the students, who, by the way, is one of the school cadet officers, we went to look at the Trades Building. Since it was Sunday, we were informed, the doors to the class rooms were locked and we could only peep in through the glass doors. From there we strolled over to the home of Mr. Kirk, Farm Manager, where we enjoyed a pleasant half hour, talking over "world affairs" and particularly as they affect the Race. Mr. Kirk has travelled quite extensively and is informed along many lines. We met here Mr. Clark, one of the faculty members. Leaving the farm, we went back to the campus, and to the auditorium, then into the music room to listen to several young men at orchestra prac- The Sunflower Stato Agriculture Association will hold a two day Fair and Exhibit of Farm Products, Oct. 18th and 19th at the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute, Oct. 18th and 19.

In face of this denial, the New York News, another Negro paper has this report: "The trouble has been brewing for some time over fights between white and Negro children in the streets, according to the police. It is claimed that Negroes have been taking over houses in the neighborhood and crowding the white tenants out by paying higher rents. It is also reported that a few days ago, some Negro children, presenting bentings in the open street, took a number of white boys into an alley and gave them a severe drub birg." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * The speaker of the occasion was the Rev. Mr. Garnett. He spoke on the subject of "Popular Amusements." For the most part the sermon was detected to an attack on Card-playing, Theatre-going and Dancing. Several visitors were present, among whom were Rev. Young, and Prof. Nix, of Chicago, a Gospel singer. Mr. Nix was introduced by Rev. Young and favored the audience with vocal numbers. At the conclusion of his second number he invited the unconverted students to come forward and receive a handshake while he led in another song. Many students and one of the faculty members accepted the invitation. Mr. Freeman conducted the services and the orchestra and student body furnished the music. At the close of the service, we were invited to visit the dining hall but because the car which came to take us back to our home had arrived, we were reluctantly forced to decline the invitation. This was Mr. Gardenhire's first visit to a Negro school, and he was delighted with what he saw We regretted however that we did not meet any of the faculty members except Messrs. Freeman, Bailey Clark and Kirk, but perhaps that interesting feat will be accomplished next time. The largest exhibit and attendance is expected than anytime previous. A large number of prominent persons are expected from different sections of the State. Everything is progressing nicely. Prof. Bridgeforth is doing much to make the Sunflower Agriculture conference a grand success. Parents Only to Blame for Delinquent Children Parents Only to Blame for Delinquent Children Becomes Editor of Oklahoma Eagle Hon. Theodore Baughman, for a number of years editor and publisher of the Oklahoma Sun, Tulsa, Oklahoma, has severed his connection with that publication, and is now the editor of The Oklahoma Eagle. Copernicus said: "The sun do move," but later scientists proved conclusively that the sun stands still. Mr. Baughman has the reputation of being "a moving man," and now he has mounted to the back of The Eagle, and will soar over the Southwest. The Plaindealer always welcomes new Race journals because the more we have, the better informed our people, especially, become informed on conditions affecting the race. Being a well known member of the "Fourth Estate," Mr. Baughman carries the hearty good wishes of them all with him in his new venture. Very often our ministers, as well as other monarchs in general take occasion during sermons and speeches to attack what they call the most destructive of all the popular amusements—Dancing Card playing and Theatre-going. These three especially are called the major sins of the age. Nearly all the other amusements younger people delight in are condemned to some extent but not with the intensity that these three are attacked. Whether or not the church, ministers and moralist are justified in their unqualified condemnation of these most popular amusements as the very worst degrading influences, we do not venture to say, but the following editorial from The Topeka Daily Journal places definitely the blame for the abuse of these amusements and proposes a remedy: "The mayors of fifty of the larger cities in the United States have agreed on the four major evils of today. They are: (1) Lack of parental control of children. (4) Immoral moving picture shows No doubt there is merit in the four sins listed above—merit in their selection. But after all, No. 1 covers the territory. It is the parental control of children that counts. If parents assumed proper control there would be no dangerous motor car parties, no ill results from the modern dance and no ideas from the immoral pictures. As a matter of fact parents are to blame when they allow their sons and daughters to dart out miles in the country, away from everyone, and re- ENTERTAINED AT BREAKFAST Bishop Sampson W.

The people say he is one of the best the County ever had. He is hard on the evil-doers. He is keeping the County as near clean of criminals as could be expected. He only has eight persons in jail. He is a fine officer. He served on the police force in Topeka when it almost cost a man his life when everything was wide open and the law was openly defied. He has lived fifty-two years in the County. Everybody is for him for sheriff. AUGUST D. DAHLENE August D. Dahelene was selected to run on the the Democratic ticket for sheriff. He is a Douglas County young man and has made great progress in the forty years he has lived in Lawrence. He is a contractor and electrician by trade. He is now engaged in conducting one of the largest cafes in Lawrence. His friends say he will make a great enforcement officer. He is popular with everybody and is running on the strength of a good citizen and taxpayer. PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR SEND US THE NEWS In Making a newspaper, one must have all kinds of news.

Parents are to lenient in their acceptance of "tie trouble" excuses for long night rides. The modern dance bugaboo is rot. Again the parents may take a hand. If they allow their daughters to attend road house parties and too frequent public dances, there is danger of serious results. But the right kind of a son or daughter will not be harmed by modern dancing when regulation hours are enforced. Parents will remove most of the sting from dancing if they will take a little more care of their daughters' dress. Sensuous dress and undress is the only danger of dancing. The movie question is really a question. It may be a problem in other cities and states but not in Kansas. The Kansas censorship is sufficient to protect the youngsters—if they will sit throuout the show. The movies that depict illicit relationships here days usually bring out the folly and punishment and a lesson that imprints itself on the mind. Nothing improper is approved in the Kansas pictures. The improper acts are food for Nemesis. The entire control of national evils is in the hands of the parents. There has been such a laxity and freedom in the last few years that even the parents are dipping into the thrills. The sons and daughters have not been given ideal patterns to follow. The motor car, the dance hall and the movie can be regulated without trouble. If parents cannot watch their children and ster them along the proper course, certainly they should not choose the law to assume the responsibility. Law means trouble. Let the law first be enforced at home. MR. K. EMERSON Mr. K. Emerson, candidate for re-election for County Clerk of Franklin County, is one of the best all-round clerks and tax experts in the state.

The Kan. City Star in a recent editorial ancnt Carter Woodson's “The Negro In Our History,” after praising the author's effort in general shows the real object lof the editorial by saying: All of which is well. But, why af- ter so laudable presentation, should it be found desirable or necessary to turn the chapter on the Negro in the world war to a lamentation over thy infustice of prejudice against Negro officers? To devote other closing pages to accounts of an alleged or- ganization among American soldiers to discredit the military record of the Negron the war? To statements thit numerous wniters, “disguised ae reientific. investigators,” have come forward to prove by paycholory and cthnology that the Negro isa sort of inferior being.” That a large numb: r of southern men have gained control of the northern press for the putpoxe of idealizing the South and arousine sentiment against the Negro? Thet a big part of the press has been busy istrring up race prejudice? That Nogio soldiers returning to the seuth, after the recent war, “were beater, shot down and lynheed to terrorize the blacks jnsisting on better treat. ment for their race," and that the South “considers it advisable to lynch a few Negroes even when it is known that they are Innocent?” Going on to emphaelze that even the North is participating In oppressing the Negro, it says: Mr, Woodson seca the probabilty of a “general upheaval in this country” if there is not a more sympathetic consideration of the Negro's rights. But he closes his book with the prophecy of a new day in niutual un- derstanding of the races. Such s day is not Ihely to be brought nearer, however, by an emphasis upon racial strife and prejudice by those who aro ‘regarded as leaders. The Cilicago Tribune, Clalowd by most Negro editors to by the most co- wistent agitater on the ree question, laments the effort on the part of People who seck a square deal for our peopte, as well as others of a darker hue and state. “JIere on the American continents mixed races with many questions {9 conflict have lived in peace.
