THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Sentiment For Industrial Court Growing, Says Morgan A TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR "Sentiment for the Kansas Industrial Court Act has been growing rapidly during the past few weeks," is the statement of W. Y. Morgan, Republican candidate for Governor who has just completed a visit to nearly every district in the state. "Farmers and working men both have been convinced that the Industrial Court is an honest attempt to protect their interests, and among the railroad men and coal miners who are on vacation, there is a growing conviction that the Industrial Court is a step in the right direction. "Farmers especially have changed their attitude, and where before the primary I found a voter who was not sure of his position on this question, I now find a supporter of the law. Because of the lack of coal, poor equipment, or some other reason growing out of some industrial dispute, farmers have been unable to get cars to move their grain. On many branch lines traffic was virtually suspended, and at the same time the farmer was unable to get cars, the same lack of transportation facilities preventing the merchant from keeping up stocks so that he was unable to supply many essentials to his town and country customers. "Strikers are also changing their opinion about the law. Many of them now see that if they had been under Race Prejudice Must Go Improvement of Living Conditions of Negroes in Larger Cities One Means Suggested to Prevent Riots.-Better Treatment Urged. Chicago, Sept. 25—Mutual understanding, sympathy and patience between the white and Negro races, a remedy that necessarily is slow and can come completely only after the disappearance of prejudice, are recommended in the report of the commission on racial relations appointed by ex-Governor Frank O. Lowden, soon after the Chicago race riot in July, 1919. Chosen to study means of preventing future clashes between the two races more than three years ago and to promote means of better understanding the commission made fifty-nine recommendations, among them the following: "That the police and militia work out a detailed plan for joint action in the control of mobs and race riots. "Negroes are more commonly arrested, subject to police identification and convicted than white offenders. On similar evidence they generally are held and convicted on more serious charges and given longer sentences. We point out these practices are not only unfair to Negroes but weaken the machinery of justice and produce misleading statistics of Negro crime. "We recommend that police pay particular attention to so-called 'athletic clubs' on the South Side which we have found to be a fruitful source of race conflict. "We recommend that the most stringent means possible be applied to control the importation sale and possession of fire arms and other deadly weapons. "We recommend that the authorities exercise their powers to condemn and raze all houses unfit for human habitation and enforce health and sanitary laws and regulations in rears of Negro residence. "We recommend that in the areas where the main part of the Negro population lives, school buildings, equipment and teaching forces be pro-now adequately provided with such vided which at least shall be equal to the average standard for the city, and that night schools and community centers be established in sections not facilities. "There must be more and better housing to accommodate the great increase in Negro population, which was at the rate of 148 per cent from 1910 to 1920." The commission in its report declared that members were convinced "That the moral responsibility for race rioting does not rest on uonhood lums alone, but also upon all citizen, white or Negro, who sanction force or violence or inter-racial relations or who do not condemn and combat the spirit of racial hatred thus expressed." OWN PROPERTY IN IOLA Iola, Kens, Sept. 30, 1922—Mrs. L. V. North, Iola owns quite a bit of fine property. Mr. North is a leading Race man, Politician and farmer. He has a team on the City, the first opportunity a Colored man has had in this respect in Iola. We had the pleasure of having dinner with them, which consisted of fried chicken and plenty of other good things to eat. Mrs North is a great Church work. er. She was formerly Mrs. Ammenta Jones of Omaha, Nebraska. DOING WELL, AT AGE OF 104 Pittsburg, Kans. Sept. 30—Mrs. Judiah Caldwell, of Pittsburg, Kans. at the age of 104, is getting along nicely. NUNBER FORTY the protection of the Court they would now have their jobs without the loss of seniority or any other rights, they would be ahead the wages they have lost, and they would still have the right to appeal from the wage award to which they objected, an which might have been increased on a rehearing. "And while the worker and the farmer were being given a square deal, the general public would have had the protection to which it is entitled. The fact that many other states as well as the national government have been considering the enactment of similar legislation proves that it is steadily gaining in popular approval. Personally I cannot help but believe that as the campaign goes on the peo-ple generally will approve of the plank in the Republican platform regarding the Industrial Court which gave: "We invite the men who labor and the men who are employers to give sympathetic attention to the remedy it offers. It is unhinkable that the continuation of strife and lawlessness shall be permitted in a country like this, which has found a just and orderly solution for all its other controversies." WANTED—Ordinary Room for business purposes. Call 3300. C. R. LONG C. R. Long, present County Treasurer of Montgomery County, is the Republican candidate for re-election. He had no opposition in the primary for the nomination and received over twice as many votes as the Democratic candidate. No county official in recent years has given such perfectly satisfactory service to the taxpayers as Mr. Long. The people who have business with his office find that it matters not how small, they get quick, accurate, courteous service. Neither does it matter if the taxpayer is colored or white, rich or poor, service is the motto. His talk to the Colored people at the Emancipation Picnic at Riverside Park recently, received favorable comment from all the Colored people present. The editor has interviewed a large number of people, both white and Colored in Montgomery County, and it looks like Mr. Long will come under the wire a winner, by possibly the largest majority of any candidate on the ticket. Why not? He is for the people, the people are for him. The Treasurer's job in Montgomery County is a real "Man's Job." With a property valuation of over seventy million dollars, a tax roll to collect, of two million one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, writing some twenty-five thousand tax receipts and all the detail work combined with the office, demands ability and plenty of it. No "Kid" has any business with the office. Show your appreciation of his good work by giving him a second term by an overwhelming majority. Site Purchased For New Negro Institute Washington, Sept. 18.—Purchase of a 200 acre site in St. Mary's County, Maryland, for the erection of the Cardinal Gibbons Institute was authorized by the board of trustees of the Institute at a meeting held in the offices of the Bureau of Education of the National Catholic Welfare Council this week. The site selected is on Smith's Creek near Ridge, St. Mary's County. It was purchased several years ago by a group of Washington men for a similar institution. The corporation which now holds the property some time ago agreed to turn it over to Cardinal Gibbons for a nominal price, with the understanding that it is to revert to the present owners unless used for school purposes. Lawrence Williams, treasurer of the board of trustees, was given power to take the steps necessary to effect the transfer of the property. The Cardinal Gibbons Institute is designed to be a boarding and day school for the education of the Colorado youth. The customary subjects included in an English education will be taught, together with instruction and practical training in agriculture and industrial and mechanical trades. Bylaws adopted under the provisions of the articles of incorporation place the immediate direction of the school under the supervision of an executive committee composed of president, vice president, second vice president, secretary and treasurer. Financial affairs such as the raising of money and care of securities are intrusted to a finance committee of which Senator David I. Walsh of Massachusetts is chairman. The executive committee has been authorized to employ an organizer and principal to take actual charge of the campaign to raise the necessary funds and to make other necessary arrangements. Officers of the Institute elected arc- President, Archbishop Michael J. Curley, first vice-president. Admiral William S Benson; second Vice-pres- ident, William S. Aumen; secretary, Arthur C.

By Inter--Racial News Service Atlanta, Georgia, Sept. 30, 1922—(Special) The Georgia Commission on Inter-Racial Cooperation, under the leadership of Dr. T. J. Wotter, is waging a vigorous campaign against mob violence and injustice, and for the development of a public sentiment that will insure the protection of the life and property of every citizen, irrespective of color. Governor Dorsey's astounding exhibit of lynchings and other injustices was published and widely circulated by the Commission and created a profound impression. The Commission has drafted and is working hard for enactment of an effective anti-lynching law. Meantime many cases of mob violence and injustice have been investigated by the Commission and legal aid has been extended in a number. Among the latter may be mentioned the notorious Williams "murder farm" case, which the Commission helped to prosecute and in which convictions were secured; the case of Tom Parks whose farm was saved from fraudulent forclosure; the release of a Negro boy who was held in service without pay and brutally treated; the case of Asbury McClusky, now pending, in which a mob attached McClusky's home, wounded him, and tried to drive him from the community. The Commission has identified members of this mob and filed a $50,000 damage suit again. st them. As much publicity as possible has been secured in these and other cases and good results are accruing. It is notable that in two recent lynchings indictments have been returned, and in of one them convictions have been secured. This indicates that great progress is being made. Some of the best legal talent in Georgia is giving every possible aid to the Commission Colored Girl Crowned Queen of Festival Kansas City, Kansas, Kan., Sept. 28, 1922.—The Emancipation Celebration and Parade held here on Sept. 22nd by the Colored Citizens, was one of the most pretentious as well as gorgeous ever held in this section of the country. The Celebration was held under the auspices of the Civic League. Prizes were offered for the best floats. There were four divisions represented in the Parade consisting of nearly all the racial organizations of the city. The Queen of the Celebration was Miss Henrietta Gayden, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. L.

A. and A., recently issued a Proclamation suspending the Grand Lodge of Missouri from membership in that body for refusing to pay the Grand Lodge tax. Many of the prominent members of the Order of that state have expressed regret that it was necessary for this action to be taken and it is freely predicted that the majority of the members will refuse to uphold the Grand Officers responsible for causing this suspension. Missouri and Virginia are the two states now declared outside the Pale of Pythianism. A NICE YOUNG COUPLE Cherryvale, Kan. Sept. 30—Mr. and Mrs. G. W. Murray. Cherryvale are a fine young couple.

They visited with Mr. Wright's parents. They were a little unfortunate on the trip, having had to lodge in a town where there weren't any Colored people. They had to stop at a White hotel. The proprietor gave them accommodations but there were some "Poor White" who didn't want them to stay. The women were so nervous they were afraid to sleep after getting accommodations. Kansas Refuses to Accept Ku Klux Klan Manhattan, Kan., Sept. 30, 1922—According to reliable sources Kansas is going to make it to hot for the Organization known as the Ku Klux Klan. Recently an organizer for that society made a speech here in the City Auditorium, in which the usual argument was offered. However he was so effectively answered by Rev. E. C. W. Cox, Colored, that his speech had just the opposite effect as was intend, ed. The following day resolutions were passed by the Kiwanis Club of this City: "The resolution was presented by Prof. C. E. Rogers of the department of industrial journalism at K.S. A.C., and was discussed by several members of the club before it was put to vote. The discussion hinged around the statements of Klan principles made by an anonymous lectures at the community house Thursday night. The speech of the Ku Klux Klan speaker Thursday was one of the most falacious arguments I have ever heard said Dr. W. F. Slade, pastor of the Congregational church. "It was vicious in the manner in which the speaker forced a taking of sides. It was an insult to the good name of Manhattan and of the state of Kansas. It was an insult to every 100percent American of foreign birth. It was an insult to every Negro who wore the Khaki or who gave from his hard earned store to help in winning the recent war. It was an insult to the Roman Catholic church, which has saved many sections from falling into conditions of anarchy. In Manhattan the Catholic and Protestant elements of the population have lived in harmony, but the disruptive force of the Klan, as exemplified by the lectures last night will be tremendous." On the Wednesday night following, Dr. Cox held a Mass meeting in his Church. An interesting account of which is presented here from the Manhattan Mercury. A spirited but an intelligent discussion of the American Negro problem was presented by Rev. E. C. Cox, D. D, pastor of the Shepard Chapel Methodist Church, in the Church auditorium Wednesday night. The speaker gave considerable attention to social equality, the Negro's domestic needs, the Negro's patriotism during wars and declared that the Whites and Negroes needed to get together in order to fight the influences that are attempting to separate them. Before Dr. Cox began speaking the audience sang America and the speaker of the evening requested that an American flag be placed in front of the pulpit so that he could look at it during the course of his address. About 50 White people were included in the audience which filled the "Races Must Go Up or Down Together"-Pickens "Races Must Go Up or Down Together"-Pickens Field Secretary of N. A. A. C. P. Declares That Civilization is Not Safe in America as Long as Lynching Exists. Candidates Optimistic Over Possible Outcome of Election This country cannot continue with lynching in part of it and no lynching in the other part, was among the things said by Dr. William Pickens, Field Secretary of the National Advancement of Colored People in an address at Calvary Baptist Church, Thursday night. "Lynching will either be abolished in Texas or it will exist in Massachusetts," he said. The occasion was a mass meeting held under the auspices of the local branch of that association. A large audience which nearly filled the auditorium of the church, greeted the speeches despite the fact that the meeting was poorly advertised. For nearly two hours Dr. Pickens held the interest of the audience while he drove home the fact that the Negro race is a victim of a deap seated prejudice which has been developed and is being kept alive by the Daily Press which magnifies each small misleamer of Negroes and points out the color of the miscreant. He caused a thunder of applause when he said that Negroes are less criminal in proportion to their number than the white race but are held up by the daily papers as naturally criminal, and made it clear that a he Militia Prevents Riot By Staff Correspondent Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 30, 1922.—It was necessary to call out the National Guard here to prevent a serious not between the races following the attempt to lynch a Negro Prisoner at the County Jail here.

Such fellows ought to be driven out of the party. HON. JOHN W. HAMILTON Hon. John W.

Mr. and Mrs. Hickman are at home at 1721 East Wall street and a host of friends extend congratulations to the young Mason's Musings By J. E. Mason, Muskogee, Okla Never in the history of Muskogee County has a case in court caused as much interest as is being manifested in the Welch case. It will be remembered that Mr. Welch and his wife have been held in prison for the last Write Today for Further Information ORO'COLLEGE three months accused of killing an officer, who went to the field where they were at work to make an arrest. A scramble ensued in which Officer Teal was shot to death. The Welches claim that the accompanying officer killed Teal. The resul caused the biggest excitement the county has ever had. Men of all walks joined in a big man hunt. The tragedy caused an almost uprising on the part of the Negroes who were determined to see Welch given a square deal. The case is being well managed by Walker, Wesley and Twine, Colored Attorneys who volunteered their services. That parade was rather bum. We Muskgeans don't do things insuch a half shod way. It is hoped the next time a parade is to be given the brains of the city will have a say. Poor old Johnson is trying all he knows how to make a good showing to the state, that he might be able to hold the state school job down at Taft. In the meantime Field's ghost looms up in the distance. Old Johnson will find a story for Fields if he should be elected. Johnson knows how to fix 'em. This school system is getting on our nerve. Out at the Langston school we have only four rooms with six teachers. Poor judgment is shown somewhere, either on the part of the Superintendent or the principal. The proper thing for the citizens to do is to go into court and ask that Langston School be taken from under control of the city. This can be done next spring. Negro trustees could do no worse. The Methodist Road House over at Boley has promised to do better. Sonia of the members during the grand lodge took exception to the way things were going on. "Praise God from whom all blessings flow," they are dying either politically or naturally. Blease, Tilman, Jeff Davis, Vardaman, Hoke Smith and their whole tribe. An army of church people passed through here last week on their way to the Collate Association. Just what good they can do running up and down the railroads these strenuous times no one has been able to state. The hard times, boll weevils, the approach of winter and the all around sufferance of the common herd fails to "blink" these denominational bigots. Negroes are always bloating about their "creeds," they got it from the white folks, who neither respect the creed or the Negro. Just why we are so crazy about the white man's religion is indeed a puzzle. The Muskogee County fair was a success. The Negro is slowly beginning to realize capacity, ability and the power of unity. It is indeed to be regretted that the most successful Negroes in getting the ears of the high officials are those of the "Uncle Tom" type. Well, they have been going to my funeral for the last ten years. I've always managed to drive the hearse back. Really a fellow is not out until he sings his own dovology. After long years of faithful waiting the membership of Spencer Chapel M. E. church has begun to build a splendid church. Never in the history of the state have the voters been more confused. Neither party has a nominee who claims to be strong on their party. Both are making their appeal on principal.

It is no disgrace to copy news items from other newspapers when the editor thinks they will be of interest to his readers but it is against all the rules of newspaper courtesy to use other papers articles without giving either the writer or the paper credit for the article used. The Chicago Enterprise has been guilty of this little act more than once, and I now rise to ask the editor there of to play the game according to the rules. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is a public institution dedicated to the lofty purpose of securing to Colored people all of their rights under the constitution. As a public institution, it is the public's right to be informed of public meetings through every possible medium one of those "possible" mediums is The Plaindealer. The local branch of the association recently arranged a public meeting, had circulars printed but have never informed The Plaindealer so that The Plaindealer could inform the public of this important event. Somebody is responsible. Who? Please don't blame The Plaindealer that you were not told Pickens was coming. The Plaindealer is as hot about it as you are. Every once in a while one of our leaders goes astray and we wonder who is next.

Our interest naturally lies in the teams turned out by Negro Schools and Colleges and those individual Negro players who are fortunate enough to gain recognition in White institutions While I am on that I merely want to inform you that West, the Negro Star of the W. and J. Univ. team proved to be the thorn in the side of the opposing team Saturday. Too bad that Lincoln let Shelbourne go, in spite of the wonderful machine he built up last year. Why keep up raving simply because The Messenger received a human hand? Because Siki whipped Carpentier? Are there no events of as great importance as these two events? We sympathize with The Messenger and admire Siki's physique, but Mr. Siki as an absinthe fiend is no fit example to hold up as a hero to Young Negro America. Oh I forgot America is dry—absinthe is a very intoxicating liquor. As election time approaches, please get ready to ask for what you want—there is only one way; to vote. I agree with the St. Louis Argus that: Most people feel that they have done their full duty by the Negro newspapers when they have bought the paper. They never were so wrong—they have not done even a third of their duty. Newspapers live or die by their advertisements and the advertising support a newspaper gets is determined by it's readers. If daily papers did not have bargain hunting women readers none of them could maintain anything near the present standard of efficiency. There's the crux of newspaper support. When Colored people who read their own newspaper learn to lay down the law to grocery, clothing, drugs, shoe, meat and other dealers demand of these dealers that such dealers support the Negro newspaper with advertisements, the Negro papers will assume an entirely new state of efficiency. Expert and experienced Colored writers can be hired and newsgathers can be paid until there will not be an occurrence of interest to Colored Americans anywhere in the world but what will be quickly learned and capably chronicled. Support of the newspapers is support of the whole race and the whole nation. Without newspapers and magazines serving the public the masses of the world would still be in a state of vasalage Until the Negro race builds up a news representation which will reach into the minds of the peoples of the world with the truth about the Negroes the whole race will continue to be chronicled as criminals or monkeys. race to be E.
