THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Street's Hotel Fills Long Felt Need in Kansas City WE WANT TO GO TO WASHINGTON We want to go to Washington to see what can be done for the Houston Rioters and the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill It seems that many of our colored leaders go to Washington looking for jobs and not for the most important matters pertaining to the race. We are not looking for political positions. All we want is for you to pay up your subscription and we will use it for the uplift of the race. Pay a little in advance and get your neighbor to subscribe and pay. We also 'do job work and send it to all parts of the United States. Letter Heads, Envelopes, Bills, Dodgers, Pamphlets, Minutes, Checks Note Heads, Receipt Books and all kinds of Lodge printing are among the kinds of work we do to perfection.' The Plaindealer 1129 Kansas Avenue Topeka, Kansas Bu Nick Chiles The travelling public will be proud to know, and especially the colored people, that at last a few enterprising colored men have associated themselves together and opened up a first class hotel at 1512 East 18th street, Kansas City, Mo. Hotel Street is the name of the new hostelry. Mr. Reuben Street, the proprietor is a Topeka boy and one of the finest chefs in the country. He cooked on and managed dining cars and hotels for white people for years. He decided he had acquired enough experience to do business for himself so he started out a few years ago with a deltas-tessen. He succeeded so well on Vine street that he moved to his present location and opened up a fine cafe and lunch counter. lunch counter. It was there that the light of day dawned on him and a few other gentlemen that a new hotel was needed and would pay. They decided to purchase the one hundred feet front on 18th street, two hundred feet on Praseo, three story brick building with the drug store on the corner and colored doctors above. Their purchase price was several thousand dollars. Everybody was moved out except the Drug store. Plans were drawn and the great remodeling began. It is now completed, fine large office rooms, fine and neatly furnished where you Endres to be Speaker The Republican caucus of the Kansas legislators will be called upon to confer the honor of Speakership upon one of the young statesmen. Mr. Benjamin Endres of Leavenworth, a leading attorney of Kansas, first elected in 1915 and has succeeded himself every since, served in several important committees, chairman of the Republican caucus where the great battle for Speaker takes place every two years is now in turn at the bat and it is the wishes of the majority of the Republicans of the state that this young, aggressive Republican can be honored with the title of Speaker. He is the whip of the House and through his enterprising efforts the state of Kansas has had some wholesome laws enacted which probably would not have been had it not been for the work of young Endres. By carrying out the pledges of the party and still keeping the Grand Old Party in power. Such men as he should be rewarded and kept where he can always be useful. He is a young man who has come a long way from a poor errand boy in a law office is one of the best lawyers in Kansas. A member of the Kansas Legislature, a leader in his party, he has a high standing at home and abroad. He must be a man who has been endowed to do certain good things. MAKING GOOD IN COURT Attorney Elisha Scott is winning nearly all his cases in court. The first two cases in the District Court were civil cases. One was Brown v. Bass. Another case of interest that Mr. Scott is handling is that of Mr. Edw. Poole, a wealthy land owner of Seward." Kansas. RIGHT OFF THE BAT!!!

BER FORTY-TWO New Jersey Republiicans Endorse Dyer Bill in Their State Platform New York, Oct. 14. Acting upon the request of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Dr. George E. Cannon, member of the National Board and president of the Jersey City branch, has been successful in having inserted in the New Jersey State Republican platform a plank urging the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. The plank is as follows: "We believe in the majesty of the law and condemn mob violence as a menace to the safety of our Republic. We denounce it as a national crime and contrary to the American standard of justice. We therefore urge Congress to pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill now before the United States Senate, to the end that no human being within the bounds of the United States will be deprived of life without due process of the law. The N. A. A. C. P. also announced that credit should have been given to Messrs. E. A. Johnson and Samuel Holden for their work in connection with the Anti-Lynching plank in the New York platform. They appeared before the Resolutions Committee in support of the plank. can see the Race reclining in fine chairs and lounges, private dining rooms, grill rooms, private dance hall, reception rooms, parlors, bridal chambers and bath with every room finely polished and inlaid floors. Imported carpets, tarancy and draperies. Reasonable rates with first class service. Mr. Street spent several thousand dollars in putting this building in the proper shape for business as these men are doing this much needed line so should other form organizations along many other lines that are much needed for the upshift of the Race and will pay investors of the hundred of thousands dollars of colored people laying in the banks and the thousands they are earning monthly. There's not one as yet has caught the vision to strike the blow and spread the magic wonder of leadership in the financial world of the Colored Race. It can be done and will be done soon. Now who is the man can shake all these Colored Gi and Bodies and their local organizations to let loose their money for a good and righteous cause. Here is where the church and preachers could bring about the vision. White men holding your money and you are scared to ask for it rather live in shacks and starve to death than ask the white man for your money. Some body of the race must wake up and they are going to soon. Farmers Refuse to be Governed by NPL Topeka, Kansas, Oct. 18.—The Non-Partisan League and the radical labor element in the state have united on Jonathan Davis for Governor. Not that there was much question that this would be done since that was the vote to which Davis makes his appeal but that the attempt has been made to create the impression that the red end of labor federation had not yet decided waht they would do. In th e Kansas Leader, the official organ of the NPL under the heading "Labor will meet us half way" the alliance is revealed in this statement: "Labor in due time shall know what it is expected to do at the coming election as decided at the convention. While you are waiting to organize "Davis for Governor' clubs." The convention referred to was the meeting of the Kansas Federation of Non Partisan voters and the Kansas State Federation of Labor. It was held at Emporia September 30th. Further on in the article it is stated that that every union will be insured to organize 'Davis for Governor' clubs. Whether the radical labor ledgers will be able to make "rubber stamps" out of the workers of Kansas is another matter. There is also some room for debate on the ability of the N. P. L. to hogtle and deliver the vote of the farmers of the state to the Democratic Nominee. The voters who work in the town and on the farms of Kansas have a habit of thinking and working for themselves and many strong labor leaders resent the statement that "labor in due time shall know exactly what it is expected to do at the coming election." They claim to be able to think for themselves and to object to being herded like so many cattle to the poll. Some of them even go so far as to assert that W. Y. Morgan has been a friend of labor for thirty years, that he has around a hundred men and women in his pay roll who are staunch and enthusiastic supporters and that the tremendous vote he rolled up in his home county in the primary proves that he is the kind of a man who has been tried for thirty years in one community and not found willing and that they intend to vote for him. Many farmers are also taking the same stand—that Morgan has lived in Lawyer Uses Term "Nigger;" Client Gets Life Sentence Lawyer Uses Term "Nigger;" Client Gets Life Sentence By Nick Chiles Jake Hightower was convicted in the District Court at Sahawne County this week for killing a white man in the Mutualized plant last April. He was from Chickasha, Oklahoma. After the murder he was captured at the home of his wife by officer Pinkston. He was spirited away to Laning-Prison for fear that a mob might interfere, of which was no danger. But the officers took precaution. His relatives employed a Southern Lawyer from Okklahoma City, we were told at a cost of $1250. Had they employed a Topeka, Kansas Lawyer he probably might have got from fifteen to twenty years, murderer of the second or third degree. But this Southern Lawyer stood up before the jury and used the word (nigger), told the jury he did not like a nigger and knew they did not like a (nigger) but it was something more than fair to give the (niggerer) a show. It is natural for white folks to be against Special Session of Congress to Pass Anti-Lynch Bill New York, October 14.—Congress will probably be convened in extraordinary session on November 20, at which time passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill is predicted by the New York World's Washington correspondent, according to an announcement made by the N.A.A.C.P. The World has been a consistent opponent of the Dyer Bill but its Washington correspondent, unlier under date of October 12, states that while the House is wrestling with the ship subsidy hill, for consideration of which the special session will primarily called, "the Senate will be expected to put the Anti-Lynching Bill over." "The New York World's correspondent further states that; "It became necessary for the Republican leaders to give positive plebs that the Dyer measure would be brought to a vote early in the next session. With this promise they hope to hold the Negro voters in line after Nov. 7. "It is said that with the influence of the President, the bill will receive the requisite number of votes." At the same time the chief Democratic organ in New York City, the New York Times, on October 13, spoke of the Anti-Lynching Bill as follows: "Next December the matter will normally come up as unfinished business. It is probable that then it may be considered as one not of party interest but of national concern. By a patriotic agreement some act may be passed to put the stamp of Federal disapproval upon a form of lawlessness which brings the whole nation into drepute." The editorial of the New York Times was arranged through the Anti-Lynching Crusaders whose New York representative, Mrs. Jns Weldon-Johnson, called upon the editor of the Times and told him of the women's movement. The Times editorial says of the Anti-Lynching Crusaders: "It is a hopeful sign that in the new organization of a million women to stop lynching in the United States, directors from every Southern State are taking part." Kansas Avenue "Y" Continues to Grow There can be no doubt that interest in the the Kansas Ave. "Y" is still increasing. Each e-ening the recreation and reading rooms are crowded with boys and young men who are seeking clean recreation. The night school has almost reached it scapacity, and the Secretary has already issued a statement to the effect that no more will be enrolled after November 1st. The Young People's Forum conducted every Sunday afternoon, in the most popular gathering place for the younger set in town. For the last few Sundays, the "standing room orlite" sism has greeted those who carve chairs will be provided. One of the biggest entertainments of the season will be given soon. It is to be a Hallow E'en Mask Party. The public is invited but all are requested to wear masks. The Young people's Forum has charge of the entertainment. The Thursday noon shop meetings are becoming more regular each week. The folls the "Y" teams got in the two games they have played caused them to wake up. Kansas all his life, that he operates a farm or two himself and that he is a successful business man that the Publican platform declares for the things in which the farmer is interested, and they say that the NPL has no strings on them, and that they will vote for Morgan for Governor. a nigger if he shoots a white man but the jury knew that a nigger would not shoot a white man unless he was compelled to do it. All such thoughts were used before the jury and everyone else. After the court and pleadings of the attorney, the jury was out forty-five minutes to render the verdict of murder in first degree bvbkqj ... murder in first degree and the judge sent him to prison for life. The judge hated to do this and said so when passing sentence upon the man. He said "this seemed to be to long to send a man to prison," but it was the fault of the southern lawyer, who came here using nigger dialect and nigger predjudice. We people up here in Kansas are not used to this kind of stuff and Colored people who came from the south and want Southern lawyers may soon expect to meet such a fate when it comes to such expressions used by this "runt" whowas an attorney for High tower. Send Dan R. Anthony Back to Congress Congressman Dan. R. Anthony of the first district is sure of election by a large majority. Congressman Anthony has done much good for the state of Kansas and the nation at large. The Colored people especially should be more than interested in seeing that Mr. Anthony is returned to Congress. Aside from being an ardent advocate of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, he is still working with might and main to secure the release of the colored soldiers who were convicted of rioting. If you have your race and country at heart vote for Dan R. Anthony for reelection to Congress. LAYS CORNER STONE Girard, Kansas, Oct. 15—Past Grand Master H. I.

ATTENDS BARBER MEETING Mr. Henry Pugh of Soldiers, Kansas was in the city this week at attending the Barbers' Convention which was held in the National Hotel. Mr. Pugh came a long way to attend this convention and to his surprise there was not another colored barber attending. He says it is necessary for the colored barbers to wake up and get wise. Mr. Pugh had the honor of making a speech at the convention. Mrs. and Mrs. Pugh are the only colored people in Soldier and have lived in that town twenty years. Mr. Pugh owns and operates a fine barber shop and several valuable pieces of real property. Mrs. Pugh is a therapeuticist and has all the work she can do. K. I. E. I. WINS AND LOSES AS SEASON OPENS The grid warriors of Coach Abbott at the Kansas Industrial and Industrial Institute opened the season here Wednesday against the Topeka Y. M. C. A. football team on the Institute grounds. K. I. E. I., won with a score of 13 to 0. Both teams appeared to be in poor form. The "Y" team is composed of working boys who only get to practice an hour a day, and after working hours. In view of this fact the showing of the Institute team was a disappointment to its followers. The second game was played on the Thursday following against the Liberty, Mo., team, and they licked the Institute to the tune of 33 to 0. The Institute was clearly outclassed, although they put up a stiff battle. Forward passes and brilliant playing by individual members of the team won for Liberty. Both teams were penalized for unnecessary roughness. White referees were used for both games, while Mr. Wm. Bradshaw, (Washburn), officiated as Umpire. The only feature of the game the spectators did not seem to enjoy was the "secret conference" held by the Institute before each scrimmage. Attorney M. C. Carry, Guthrie, Oklahoma is visiting in the city with Attorney Elisha Scott. Mr. Carry has just returned from Leavenworth where he had a case in the United States District Court. Farmers Conference and Fair Big Event of the Year K. of P. Grand Officer Visits Topeka By G. C. A. Among the Colored teachers attend ing the Kansas State Teachers Association here is Prof. J. E.

I. and witncaused the football game. He is a product of Kansas University, and is a leader in his profession, a keen student of Negro history and a strong Race advocate. Upon becoming acquainted with him, one can easily see why Mr. Lowery is one of the most popular Grand Officers of his lodge. Farmers Conference Fair Big Eve By Geo. C. Anderson Topeka and Kansas were placed definitely "on the map" Wednesday and Thursday of this week when the Sunflower Agricultural Association held its fair and conference at the Kansas Educational and Industrial Institute in Topeka. It was their day and so two whole days were given over to the farmers to display their exhibits and discuss methods of making better farms. On Wednesday, members of the Association delivered addresses on various subjects of interest to farmers. Thursday was the gala day of the two. The main feature of the program being a manmoth parade led by mounted policemen. A detachment of Colored troops of the regular army together with the student Cadets, and their drum and bugle corps attracted favorable attention from the spectators. The floats showing farm products and those depicting the activities of various departments of the institute were distinct revelations. Flotts of various commercial enterprises of the city were also commendable. The parade was led by Officer K. K Pinkston of the Tepeka Police force mounted on a shining black charger. Among the reviewing party were Adj. NEW YORK MAGAZINES PUBLISH ARTICLES OF INTEREST TO OUR RACE New York, Oct. 14.—Two articles of especial interest to colored readers are published in two magazines of New York, according to announcement today of the N. A. A. C. P. One of the articles appears in the October McClure's Magazine. It is called "Race Cooperation," and is by George Madden Martin, who has written many short stories about colored people. The other article is by a colored author, Benjamin Brawley who writes on "The Negro in American Literature" in the October "Bookman." (244 Madison Avenue, New York.) Mrs. Martin speaking of what has been done and planned by interracial committees in the South, asserts that the chief obstacle to proper consideration of race problems is that the white man does know the Negro. Mr. Brawley calls he Negro "the supreme challenge to American literature." Speaking of the flood of inferior works now being published, Mr. Brawley says: "In all this welfare of commercialism and sensationalism the Negro's one request of literature so far as he is concerned is that it be fearlessly and absolutely honest." DUFFALO BRANCH SENDS WHITE MAN TO JAIL A white rapist, found guilty of attack upon a nine year old Colored girl of Buffalo, has gone to jail from 6 to 20 years, due to the efforts of the Buffalo Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people. The white man, Morris Deitch, was convicted of rape. An appeal for a new trial for him was denied, according to the Buffalo Branch's report. The branch called the attention of the District Attorney's Office to the case and followed it through until sentence was imposed. ARGUMENTS CAUSE LARGE NUMBER OF MURDERS It would be surprising to know how many Colored people are killed by each other over trivial matters. There are more Colored people killed up each year over starting arguments and discussions than there are automobiles. It seems that a time should be at hand when Colored men and women would stop arguing over nonsense and foolishness and such, which causes them to fall out ad committ murder.

Many notable speakers were on the program many of whom were from out of town. A large portrait of Miss Nellie Johns was presented to the school The Hospital was named in honor of the late Miss Nellie Johns who bequeathed $10000 to the school. A movement headed by Mrs. Emma Galina is on foot to raise $25,000 for the hospital. A donation of $50.1 was given Thursday afternoon. More and still larger donations will undoubtedly follow to further this worthy cause. The main addresses of the afternoons were delivered by Honorable H. Y. Morgan and Dr. Wm. Theoompkins of Kansas city Mo. The Fisk Jubilee Singers entertained a large and appreciative audience Thursday night at the Institute with their plantation Melodies. Many visiting teachers attending the Teachers' Association were seen among the crowds which thronged the Institute Grounds. the heir Principal Bridgeforth in an interview stated that this is just the beginning of a large and comprehensive program which the Institute has planned. Southern Officer Convicted for Stealing Greenville, S. C.-Captain Samuel Bucklew, Recreation officer of the U. S. Public Service Hospital was found guilty of forging disabled soldiers compensation checks. The Colored soldier boys of Camp Funston will remember this southern monster who was commissioned by the Wilson administration and signed with the Colored troops. He was called upon a very short while after he came to Funston for using slang phrases and calling soldiers "Niggers." The boys would not stand for it and he was soon removed and sent south where he belonged, for this it where he seemed at home and where he could use such slang phrases, where the Devil and his Angels reside. The above proves the manner and kind of a cattle he is. He thought he felt like the President of the United States, when he was ordered over the Colored soldiers. "Be sure your sins will find you out." says the Scripture. Mrs. Lena Hines, wife of Dan Hines died last Sunday at her home in Manhattan, Kansas, after brief illness of Asthma and Heart trouble.

By M. A. Hindman ... Rev. H. Randalps has returned to North H. Side Circuit from the Annual Conference which was held in Quincy and is preparing to build a new church Rev. G. W. Brewer former pastor, now of Danville, conducted the funeral services of Charles Gill. He was born in North Alton 38 years ago his life has been one of industry and honesty. He never workend but one place in his life and that was at the Alton Brick Co. plant. He went to work for that Company 27 years ago as water boy at 11 years old and when he died filled the position of Chief Engineer at the plant. When a boy he did not scorn religious training and his associates were not the gay and gidy which have marked the downfall of many youths but he united Christian diligence with life and duty, which accounts for his rise from a water boy to the responsible position at the Alton brick yard in twenv-teen years of unbroken service.

We went to Shiloh Baptist in the morning, B. Y. P. U. at Shiloh in the evening, and finally "dropped in" on St. John A. M. E. Church for the night sermon. We had a nice time. Personally however, we are tired of being put on exhibition everytime we go into a church for the first time. What is the idea anyway? We are 'introduced' to the congregation, but since we are not told the congregation's name, we are just as much a stranger as ever, perhaps with a feeling of resentment because we sometimes believe that the "introduction" was to overwhelmingly one-sided. We are not going to quit visiting churches, though, maybe we shall succeed in getting acquainted with somebody eventually. We went to the Sunday afternoon Forum at the Y. M. C. A. too. Like they claim our Race usually is, we were late. A dialogue in Spanish was in progress between Mrs. Hooker and a young Cuban when we arrived. Like most West Indians who visit the United States, he was bragging about his inability to speak English and, his knowledge of seven other languages. The thing that grated on our American pride was his attempt to belittle the educational and other advantages of Americans in general, and Mrs. Hooker's knowledge of Spanish in particular. Then he made the assertion that Spanish was spoken in all South American countries and when that statement was challenged, one young American gentleman rose to a point of order, (there was no particular order but well pass) that his point being that since the foreign gentleman had travelled and the "home" challengers had not the argument was one-sided. Of course the young man had no means of knowing that both challengers had travelled both at home and abroad, and he is to be excused for making such a broad assertion. What we have been trying to bring out is American Negroes are too quick to believe everything foreigners tell them about other countries; for in stance look at the big following Garvey, a West Indian, managed to obtain. But honestly did you ever see a grand rush of foreigners for their native lands? We give you our word that we have nothing in general or in particular against Washburn students of our Race. Fact is we rather feel a thrill of pride and racial superiority (even if it is jolted occasionally) every morning when we see them getting on the car, beginning at Western Avenue and clear to 11th St, to go out to the college to take on some more culture so they can help us feel superior. What we haven't been able to understand, and what no one has been able to tell us is: What is the very pressing business that calls most of them out of Church and other public gatherings before the end of services? We first noticed this "grand rush" when Dickens spoke, and since we have begun retiring, we see it is almost a general practice on their part. Certainly they have as much right to be as impolite as other people, but being college people they are supposed to know better and to be more polite than other people. Don't you think so? The Black Dispatch (Okla, City) believes that there is a sinister influence working against Negroes who seek to do missionary work in Africa but when it says that that same influence was responsible for Garvey's failure, we disagree with him. We believe Garvey's failure was due to Garvey and his desire for power and gold. We had the pleasure of listening to Mr. Garvey's fabulous promises too 0 "Faith will not abide in an empty stomach."

M.) assa: "Since the beginning of the publication of the Southwest Review in the state, the Colored people have reason to congratulate themselves upon the progress that has been made by the race and the evidence of general recognition that has come to us in political circles. Before the beginning of this publication, if any of the well informed had been asked about this population of Colored citizens in the state, they would invariably have answered "insignificant." The Review has taken the pains to gather statistics and other data affecting Colored people in the state, and has published it from time to time. The dissemination this information through the Review has brought about the recognition of of the Negro as an important factor in the state's affairs. "Thousands of Colored people have settled in various parts of the state. They are mostly of that class that acquire homes, and because of the fact that they are the industrious class, generally speaking, and are not often seen in the courts they have secured valuable holdings and become a part of the state unnoticed." Since we were at one time part of the "Motive power" of this newy little journal, we know that the above assertions are based on facts. Remarkable when you remember that the population of New Mexico is very smal. Baseball is nearly a matter of history till next spring. Negroes ran leagues in various sections of the country and when the season was over, cleanly demonstrated that they were in big league class. Here is a part of what happened; St. Louis Stars won two out of three games from the Detroit American team Kansas City Monarchs two straight from the Kansas City Am. Ass'n team and we could keep on naming them "Tell 'em we are rising." What the (Portland, Oregon) Advocate says here applies forbly to The Advocate, and to the city of Portland as well: "The New American is the name of a paper just born in Denver, Colorado. This gives the city three race papers which is entirely too many for either of the editors to become blotted capitalists. Denver, like many other places, has enough and perhaps too many papers. But what is needed is not more papers, but better papers. May the American fill the bill." But, Brun Cannady, The Denver Star and The Colorado Statesman are both good papers, using your sheet as astandard. And another thing: The ran is now in name or, formerly The Title Point. The Southern Indicator in S. C.) states that: "What the women of Coun. need, especially the youngest element, is an organization all of themselves, that will have for its own object the strict objection man, old or young who will not accord them the highest respect and who himself is not of the highest type of manhood." Columbia is not alone in this very pressing need. We visit the Central Auto and Tractor School at Pittsburg, Kansas, owned and controlled by Prof. Ereba. This is an immense building at a cost of $200,000. It has a foundation of one hundred and twenty-five feet and a depth of one hundred and fifty. It is four stories high, all equipped with the latex models and methods of conducting such a school. It is now open to Colored students and there are number of them from all parts of the United States going into Pitsburg to take advantage of this great opportunity. They are not only learning the automobile industry but are becoming electricians and experts. They are experts and it would pay our young Colored men to go to this great institution and take the advantage now offered. This is the first and only one of it's kind in the United States. Prof. Ereba is the first white man, that we know of, who has attemted to sacrifice, to give the Colored boys a chance to learn such trades. This institution we once made up of all white students but he has given the Colored people an opportunity to attend this school and they should take advantage of this opportunity at once.
