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. One of the features of the meeting will be a parade on the 18th. The dedication of the Hospital will be on the 19th. Apple butter ..... Peach butter ..... Plum butter ..... CATSUP, PICKLES, ETC.

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 fight was assuming serious proportions when the reserves appeared. The combatants then attracted quickly to their quarters. The size was nearly deserted within two minutes after the arrival of the police. The injured were taken to the Flower Hospital, after which charges of fiducious assault was made against three white men. *** *** *** tice. Then the bell for chapel rang. The students fell into military formation and marched to the auditorium to listen to the regular Sunday afternoon sermon. 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. Franklin County knows when she is in possession of a good thing and will re-elect him by a large majority. He is on the Republican ticket. That makes no difference. Both parties are supporting him.

O'Donell is running as a good citizen as well as for coroner. DR. JOSEPH SKAGGS Dr. Joseph Skaggs, candidate for Coroner, is one of the best physicians in the county. He is a fine young man and his running on the G. O. P. ticket helps. His friends say he is a man who makes and holds friends. He asks the voters to remember him for Coroner at the November election.

Mason, Muskegee, Okla. --- We are real proud of the Taft Fair but we are against this unholy graft poor arrangements and the suffering emanating therefrom. The scenes around the cemetery last Sunday morning was another disgrace to that section of the community. We have been taught to hold the cemetery as a sacred place, but more filth, dirt and corruption go on at this place than any part of the country. The early return last Sunday morning of the wife found the "other women" in her bed. The lady of the undertaking fame was last seen hotfooting it across the cotton field in a nude condition. During this excitement, our most prominent criminal was hid away in the cellar. Hurry up Lee Ward with the wagon. It was very low to arouse a woman from her peaceful slumber and chase her across the weeded section of the community. It is hard on her nerves and creates indigestion. If the married women of this section should use the black jack more on these powdered face vamps, their homes would be happier. These smelling vamps make a specialty of hunting married men who have a good job. In order to stay out of the divorce courts they will have to use the black jack. Haskell will not add anything to the election of Walton. Rather he will add to his defeat. The people of Oklahoma is fed up on such stuff he will put out. His administration did more hurt to the state than all the governors we have since. The South succeeded in defeating the Anti-lynch bill. It may be that the Republicans will hold it till the eve of the election and pass it. It can be used to advantage as campaign bunk. The very thing should they pass it I am not in the attitude to hear those mushy mouth lectures until we have put out of position every white guardian. Just to think, the many millions the Negroes of this state own and is controlled by white men. It reminds me more of South Africa under British rule than anything I know. We should quit telling lies about our wealth until we have settled this question. Not only is it illegal according to the treaty, but it forces our young women to go to men of another race and beg for their own money. It seems to me that we should be able to get some of these natives to stand long enough to make a test case. Some members of the Associated Charities have used their office to graft the les informed out of their property. This is a feature of charity we are not used to.

One lady went see another lady and saw her husband's clothes on the line. No explanations were accepted. She just went and proceeded to collect her husband's clothes—He is still living.

THE BEACON LIGHT I have and still claim that "The Negro" is the leading subject for discussion the country over. The Kan City Star in a recent editorial anent Carter Woodson's "The Negro In Our History," after praising the author's effort in general shows the real object of the editorial by saying: All of which is well. But, why after 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 the injustice of prejudice against Negro officers? To devote other closing pages to accounts of an alleged organization among American soldiers to discredit the military record of the Negro in the war? To statements that numerous writers, "disguised as scientific investigators," have come forward to prove by psychology and ethnology that the Negro is a sort of inferior being." That a large number of southern men have gained control of the northern press for the purpose of idealizing the South and arousing sentiment against the Negro? That a big part of the press has been busy listering up race prejudice? That Negro soldiers returning to the south, after the recent war, "were beater," shot down and lynched to terrorize the blacks insisting on better treatment 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 emphasize that even the North is participating in oppressing the Negro, it says: Mr. Woodson sees the probability 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 mutual understanding of the races. Such a day is not likely to be brought nearer, however, by an emphasis upon racial strife and prejudice by those who are regarded as leaders. The Cilhago Tribune, Claimed by most Negro editors to be the most consistent agitator on the race question, laments the effort on the part of People who seek a square deal for our people, as well as others of a darker hue and state. The United States has tried not to offend the culture of the one or impose upon the savagery of the other. The pale Americans, seeking to defame their nation, have found nothing worse than our intervention in Haiti, where a few port city blacks, trained in French culture, form an outline for the jungle depths of superstition, cruelty, and ignorance" The (Portland, Oregon) Advocate thinks that: "Denominational prejudice is the cause of a great deal of the differences between our people. No matter how fine a man or woman is, unless he belongs to "this or that" branch of the church, they aren't in it. We should quit that foolishness and recognize ability and fitness, not "what church do you belong to?"

Our own representative in that conference announces: The Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute this year may branch out and join with other elevens of the country in playing intersectional football. Plans are now under way to play either the Tuskegee Institute at Birmingham, Ala., or the Fairview Institute at Houston, Tex., on New Year day. Football at the Institute is now beginning to show mid-season pep, as the men have been working three weeks and have made rapid improvement since the season started. C. L. Abbot, who coached the team to the Missouri valley colored championship last fall, is again in charge. Among the men who look good to Abbot are Ben Stevenson, Liberty, Mo Albert Robertson, Olathe, and Ivory Smith, this year's captain. The schedule for the season is; Oct. 7—Liberty Athletic club at Liberty, Missouri. Oct. 14—Lawrence Athletic club at Lawrence. Oct. 18—Eskridge Colored team at Topeka. Oct. 27—Lincoln High at Topeka. Nov. 3—Western U. at Kansas City, Mo. Nov. 6—George I. Smith College at Sedalin, Mo. Nov. 18—Lincoln U. at Topeka. Nov. 25—Langston U. at Langston, Okla.

Siki was accorded a tremendous ovation in the sporting center of Paris this evening, when he arrived by automobile at the offices of the foremost French sporting papers. There was Galley two ... ... Anderson such a crowds in the streets that traffic was stopped for more than an hour. "I am through with absinthe from now on," Siki said to the Associated Press. "I am champion now and I must behave like a champion." Our policy is stated as well as we could have stated it ourselves, in the following part of an editorial in the Kansas City Call: "Occasionally as happened with this paper in the past few weeks, newspapers are criticised for the articles they carry in their columns, and in language more or less plain, they are told that they ought to suppress some matters. Since the public good is the great question, the public's criticism is worth the publisher's attention. "To publish or not to publish, that is the problem. In the case of news, habit has given so much authority that the public expects newspapers to publish practically everything. News gathering admits few secrets. The best papers spare neither high nor low, rich nor poor. Whatever is unusual, be it god or bad, the papers tell of it and the public sanctions the telling." It is new in a championship athletic meet for colored athletes to take the three first places in an event. At the recent senior A. A. U. tests at Newark Hubbard of Cincinnati, Gourdin, and Butler finished one, two, three in the broad jump—Chicago, Tribune As the time goes on, such incidents as this will be more common. The showing made by the Colored Athletes in White schools when given a chance is forming a reluctant recognition of the Negroe's Merit in the World of Sport. WIFE WANTED-Age 35 to 45 years old.
