THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR NUMBER FORTY-FIVE Sounds Mrs. Felton on Lynching Evil in South Sounds Mrs. Felton on Lynching Evil in South But So Far No Reply Has Been Received October 16, 1922 Nrs. W. H. Felton, U. S. Senator Dear Senator: We wish to congratulate the first U. S. woman senator. As editor of one of the leading colored newspapers of this country, we have always been ad vocates of women suffrage and this was the sentiment of the colored man who voted on the subject, north, east and west, and no doubt would have been the sentiment of those in the south if they had been permitted to cast a ballot and express themselves on all public questions as they were in the sections named above. within the confines of the state South, notwithstanding that tored race has made those state they are by hard toil and at within the past two centuries your race has thrived and pro by this unpaid labor. We believe that your higher than qualities and the blood that through your veins burns with nation to remember the crime have been and are now being trated upon this race. We hope you speak out in your own r terms at every place and oppo to the white people of Georgia. Believing you to be a high class Christian lady from your interview reported by the press dispatches and with your age, experience and associations, we know you must have some sympathy for the colored race. You know their hardships, their trials and the abuses, that are heaped upon them in the South by the people of your race during the cloudy days of slavery, and since freedom. You no doubt remember the auction block, where mothers were separated from their suckling babies and husbands from their wives. You probably remember the beying of the blood hounds and the cracking of the lash upon the blacks of those heavily burdened slaves and no doubt you have shed many a tear when you think of the young girl who was outraged by overseers and her masters and even brought into this world children of mixed blood whom they do not recognize as relatives. You no doubt remember the Ku Klux Klan and the Bush Whackers who drove colored freedmen from their homes, murdered and outraged their families. You no doubt remember at the present time the hundreds of innocent colored men who are being lynched and burned at the stake in Georgia. I know all this you hate and deplore and that if you had the opportunity to exercise your vote in the U. S. Senate you would vote for the Dyer Anti lynch bill now pending in the Senate. I know that you believe that the time is at hand when some measure should be taken to blot out this everlasting disgrace and crimes of lynching and outraging people because they happen to be of another race. I know you are aware of the fact that the average colored citizens are not treated in the state of Georgin, for the South as well as the Mexican, Indian, German or any other foreign citizen who lives NEGRO HISTORICAL SOCIETY TO HOLD ANNUAL MEETING IN LOUISVILLE The Association for the study of Negro Life and History announces it's next annual meeting to be held in Louisville, Kentucky, on the 23rd and 24th of November at the Branch Library on Chestnut Street and at Quinn Chapel A. M. E. Church. The management of the organization has interested many people throughout the country and the leading citizens of Louisville are making extensive preparations to accommodate the body and to profit by it's deliberation. In addition to hearing the reports of the officers and investigators recently employed as the result of increased income of the Association, there will be discussed a number of interesting and valuable subjects indicating the all but unexplored fields of Negro History. Among these topics are; the Negro in Latin America, the Negro in Africa, the Eighteenth Century Negro in America, the Present State of the Negro, the contribution of the Negro Slave to Civilization, the Study of Negro Folklore, the Preservation of Negro Folk Music and the Teaching of Negro History. Besides such prominent officers o. the Association as Professor John R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary of the A. M. E. Church, Professor William E. Todd, of the University of Chicago, Professor Carl R. Fish of the University of Wisconsin, Professor Franz Boss of Columbia University and President Henry Churchill King of Oberlin, there will appear such speakers as Mr. Morderal W. Johnson, the Newport expounder of the social go within the confines of the state or the South, notwithstanding that the colored race has made those states what they are by hard toil and struggle within the past two centuries and your race has thrived and prospered by this unpaid labor. We believe that your higher Christian qualities and the blood that runs through your veins burns with indignation to remember the crimes that have been and are now being perpetrated upon this race. We hope that you speak out in your own natural terms at every place and opportunity to the white people of Georgia and the South to treat the colored people better and that they deserve half as fair treatment as the foreigner within the confines of Georgia or the South. You and your sex who have just been ushered into citizenship, should look forward to breaking up these crimes being heaped up on these disfranchised citizens who have not been allowed to exercise the right of franchise as American citizens. It is expected of you to do your Christian duty to obliterate these wrongs and deceit of all such officers who hold offices in those states, counties and cities. It seems that every human being should be accorded the same rights in Georgia and the South as they are in the North. There will never be any peace or happiness in those states that continue to nullify he Constitution. It seems to us that after fifty years of Jeff Davis and the terrible conflict of Sixty-one and Sixty-five all should join and make this one solid government, one flag, one sentiment and one people, serving one God, and everyone that obeys the constitution and the laws and loves the flag will be treated as good citizens. But those who do not respect either or the rights of all should be considered outlaws and handled accordingly. I am sorry the time accorded will not permit you to speak in the Senate as we would be delighted to hear of you expressing yourself on the floor of that great assembly. We should be glad to have your expression on the subject set forth in this letter. Hoping you continued success and health, I remain, Editor, The Topcka Plaindealer and President of the National Defense Society. pcl, the distinguished Professor Isaac Fisher of Fisk University, Professor H.

Starting out without any income in 1916 he brought out THE JOURNAL OF NEGRO HISTORY, a quarterly scientific publication of high order, which for almost five years he maintained largely with his own funds. Manifesting perserving energy, however, he has struggled onward until at the close of seven years of such toll he has increased the annual income of the Association from zero to $20,000. With this revenue the Association now employs a staff of administrative officers and investigators who devote all of their time to the prosecution of its work. --- Look out for the Plaindesler man in Oklahoma.

Williams took charge of the church here, his leadership has been crowned with much success in every phase of church work. His plans of organization and demonstrates unusual ability as a pastor. The true and faithful members have fallen in line with his methods and are working hard to put the church work over the top. He has raised since he has been with us, $10,000.00. We raised 4,022.81, making a total of $14,022.81 Rev. Williams is a good Gospel preacher as well as a good financier and we re proud of him. By Miss Margaret L. Adams It's the great broad land way up yonder It's the place where silence has lease It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder It's the silence that fills me with "Peace." (From Service's SPELL of the YUKON) The above stanza from Robert Service's famous poem of the Northwest can well apply to certain parts of Montana. To one who loves the broad open ranges, Montana makes an earnest appeal. The tonic chrm of her vast areas of quiet and solitude compels sleep, and restores shattered nerves. Southeastern Montana is only a very small part of the State, but is the very interesting part. The greatest American, the Iae Col. Roosevelt, was often in Miles City, in the early days, and before leaving I visited the remodeled log cabin where he put up. At present it gives no hint of having sheltered "The mos courteous American." Buffalo were in attendance at the "round up" of 1921 and a fine specimen of western animal life was the sight that met our eyes. Tom Mix, the movie hero, is to grace this Northwestern celebration of 1922 with his presence and compete with cowboys and Indians in horsemanship. The Race was well represented at Pendleton, Oregon—one year by a colored rider who won highest honors. The Indian Agency at Lame Deer and Indian School at Ashland afford opportunities for acquaintance with the Crow Indians and their mode of living. The writer became acquainted with such families as Mr. and Mrs. Joe Running Bird, Mr. and Mrs. Chas Spotted Horse, Sam Bird in the Ground and others who peddled elk teeth, blankets, shawls, beaded belts, bags and slippers and wood while camping on the reservation at Miles. Fort Keogh is a small army post, formerly garrisoned by white and colored soldiers under command of Gen. Miles. The ranges of low hills are called Buttes instead of mountains and from the highest butte, Gen. Miles signalled his orders around. In his honor it is called Signal Butte and from this point one gets a magnificent view of the surrounding country. There are lignite coal mines on every other ranch so to speak, with coal veins in plain view from the highways. This coal sells for $2.50 at the mine, and for $5.00 a ton delivered. One may pick up timbers from the river's edge, and on the reservation, and by thrift, keep plenty of fuel on hand. During the horse sales season, there are five sales. One may buy a pony or range horse or even a work horse for $2.50 to $5.00, and a pinto can be had for the same price. Commercial aero flying is practical Y. M. C. A.

Last Sunday broke all previous records. Aside from the previous by announced program, Bishop J. A. Hamlet spoke. This Sunday a still better program is promised, with activities to follow during the coming week. The public is invited to all the affairs given by the "Y." and the young men are invited to join. Bishop Arthur Hamlett Jackson, da livered a wonderful sermon at Land Chapel Sunday morning. A large audience was in attendance. to a certain extent and for $10 and $15 one may go on a pleasure jaunt and be up in the air quite a while. The writer was well acquainted with the Legionaire who flew to Kansas City accompanied by the Montana bob cat, that was presented to Marshall Foch (and was pleased that the cat was presented to the Marshall and not to her.) Radio receiving sets are there and the small boy and his wee sister may listen in free at Miles and Ulmers' Wholesale House. This modern tome of 8000 progressive persons has less than 100 percents of color and yet there are business opportunities a plenty. White people patronize any business established by colored people. It has a well kept park system with every known device for entertaining children. So modern is it now that one wonders if it is true that the "old boys" of the range rode up to the barn and took a drink himself and gave his horse one and rode out. Persons who love art and literature will be glad to know that the old timers were not asleep, and that typically western art and verse, wonderful collections are theirs if they choose to find them. Badger Clark's "Grass Grown Trails," and "Sun and Saddle Leather" are little verse but so rich and full of inspiration. "Back Trailing on the Old Frontiers" is an intensively illustrated book by Charles M. Russell, an old timer who knows the state well. Mr. L. A. Huffman, Miles City's very own artist, was army photographer following the annihilation of General Custer's command on the Little Big Horn and his pictures of cabins, shacks and leather lodges of the early seventies are interesting indeed. His pictures of various raundups are worth going miles to see. And many of them have travelled eastward to grace the homes, banks and offices of Eastern and Southern art lovers. The open ranges are truly magnificent in their rugged and solitary beauty and it is the earnest belief that Kanans who once visit their state will never forsake it permanently. The free camping grounds with fuel water and sanitary conveniences are crowded with tourists during the park reasons, boy scouts registering and helping the tourists in every way. A never to be forgotten thrill awaitst he traveller who hies him away to Montana. Beautiful ranches are there in the Yellowstone valley for investments. Resources undreamed of and where one gets and gets a foothold has but to wait a little while. Mr. George Morrison, close friend of Roosevelt, trapper, hunter, and a painter, has a wonderful collection of western pictures usurpassed in beauty. Oil is the newest child of fortune in the state and the people are struggling hard to keep its wealth for development for those who live in the state. A refinery has been built and Grand Canyon is Nature's Garden Spot of the World Grand Canyon is Nature's Garden Spot of the World So Declares Mrs. Norene Davis in an Interview Continued from last week Dr. Ford and her niece, Mrs. Earl Bradley, contributed greatly to my pleasure in the home and touring the city in the doctor's car to various points of interest. It was with genuine regret that I parted from them to resume my journey. The trip was given a two-hour respite from the monotonous crash, grinding and clatter of fast train in full flight, at Albuquerque, where I gazed with all the interest of first impressions at the Mexicans and the humble descendants of war-like Indians, who many of them, with legs incaser in puttee like wrappings, and the invitable blanket, sat on the hard, cold, platform, displaying their humble wares for sale to the tourist in search of souvenirs. I made a hurried trip to the museum, where the outstanding features were specimens from the petrified forests—huge limbs and trunks of trees, perfect reproductions of the original, but solid stone, transluscent and sparkling—besides a wonderfully complete collection of Navajo blankets and implements of war and the chase. I next stopped off at Williams, Arizona, for the side trip to the Grand Canyon. I saw only one colored person in Williams and he was in the highly responsible position of engineer at the water works. A two-hour ride with vast flocks of sheep dividing interest with the overpowering grandeur of the glimpses afforded by this wonderful rift in the earth's surface, brought me to the Grand Canyon with the Bright Angel and the El Tovar Hotels providing for the travel worn tourists shelter and sustenance. At El Tovar Hotel, we found the soft drink department in charge of Charles D. Frazier, formerly of Kansas City, with four colored men assisting him. I shall always recall with pleasure the court cases extended me here. The Grand Canyon, that wonderful and awe-inspiring creation of the erosion of water flowing in its channel for ages unnumbered, cutting and carrying, stands unchallenged elsewhere on the earth's surface by any similar wonder of nature, for grandeur and beauty. To travel over an apparently flat country and find yourself on the brink of a vast channel twenty miles across and over a mile in depth with a tiny silver thread of a river at the bottom, with the vari colored strata of the sides showing nearly all the colors of the spectrum is an experience which anyone with the price can have, but which few can adequately describe. I could only pave in awe at this great spectacle and shall not attempt its description. From here direct to Los Angeles whereon the first day I witnessed a performance of the Pilgrimage Play depicting the life of Christ, presented in the Pilgrimage Theatre, so-called in the open air, covering about five acres of mountain side, with buildings so arranged that the various Bible scenes are typified. Did I tell you that there were more than one hundred actors, and that all the striking operated by home capital and one race member is a stockholder. A four years drowth has been a serious set back to farmers and ranchers; cattle has declined in value, but the present year's outlook is much improved. Wool clip is selling very high, the lamb crop has doubled and trebled, and with another mild winter and spring of moisture and abundant grazing. Montana's boast that she can return to normaly quicker than other states is pretty near true. The writer is much in love with LOCAL ATTORNEY HAS CIVIL RIGHTS CASE BEFORE SUPREME COURT Attorney Wm. Bradshaw recently filed an appeal in the Supreme Court of Kansas, of a case under the Kansas Civil Rights Act. The cause of ac- PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR incidents in the life of Christ were re-enacted with a realism and fervor which made you almost pinch yourself to be assured that you had not been carried back about two thousand years? Well, I just haven't time to tell more about it. Let's see, well, after one day here, I went on to Bakersfield where I was the house guest of Mrs. Pearl Lowery Winters and Mr. Winters. Their home is indeed beautiful and while she takes high rank as a contralto soloist, Mr. Winters, by his varied business enterprises and realty holdings, bears all the carmarks of a successful business man. At this place, resides Mrs. Reed, an artist of creative and original instincts, who makes of wire and fabric lamp shades of novel design, which she next jalts with such skill and discrimination in design and coloring that she has succeeded in establishing a business which bids fair to win for both fame and fortune. The rearing and selling of guinea pigs also add to her income. From here to San Francisco where I stopped with Mrs. Ella Mann, sister of Mrs. Walter Evans, who is well known to many of your readers. In company with Mrs. Evans and Rev. Charles Stewart, I attended the A. M. E. conference presided over by Bishop Fountain. Here I met several people who formerly lived in Kansas—Rev. and Mrs. A. M. Ward, Rev. and Mrs. Calvin Carter, Rev. and Mrs. J. W. Braxton, all of whom greeted me joyously and wanted to hear about Kansas and Kansas people. I went across the bay to Oakland where I recall, as the outstanding feature of my visit the wonderful musical Brown family, with the father director and teacher, the mother pianist, the daughter, 10 years of age, a wonderful violinist, and a boy of 9, a trap drummer, playing the marimba and numerous other traps with remarkable dexterity. They played for me at their home, and, I am sure that the only reason they are not being featured on the stage is because they have not been discovered. In San Francisco that night, Mrs. Evans and I were the honored guests at a banquet given by Silver Jewel Lodge K. of P. and the Calanthean sisters at Pythian Hall. The Pythians prepared and served the banquet and the menu. Preparation and service were beyond criticism. Here I had the pleasure of meeting the Grand Chancellor, J. C. Rivers. But listen! I forgot to tell you, while over in Oakland, I in company with Roy. Chas. Stewart, Mrs. Walter Evans, and the Epicopal Rector, Father Moore, I think, was a dinner guest of Mrs. Ionia Johnson. The next morning I left San Francisco for the three hundred mile ride back to Los Angeles, about one hundred miles of which was along the very edge of the Pacific ocean, through the Santa Clara Valley with 75 miles of orchards.—No, not apples—oranges, lemons, and all manner of fruit indigenous to California, with numerous packing plants and drying fields. To be Continued tion occurred when he and another lawyer were refused accommodation in a restaurant in Jetmore, Kansas, sometime back. It seems as if the County attorney who handled the case was so reluctant about enforcing the law that the judge who heard it rendered an unfavorable decision. Attorney Bradshaw immediately filed an appeal. The case will come up in the January term rt, and will be watched wit unusual interest by the Colored people all over the state. The Attorney General who is representing the state is said to have stated that since he was elected to enforce the laws, this violation of an important statute will receive as much attention by him as any other. The fact that Colored people are barred from theaters, restaurants, hotels and sitneys, in open violation of the law, will cause unusual interest to be manifested in the outcome of attorney Bradshaw's case. the Cowta Plaindealer FOUNDED JANUARY 1899 Nick Chiles, Edtlor and Owner Geo.

Special The students and faculty enjoyed an old time Halloween party on Saturday October 27th. This was followed however by another on Halloween night. On both occasions delightful refreshments followed. Playing of games, masks etc. Our good friend and neighbor Mrs. Griffin supplied the apples and pies for the Halloween party Pres. Richardson recently returned from a second trip to Lexington where the good Baptist people under he inspiration and leadership of Rev. C. A. Raulston and his deacons are getting to-gether in regard to the coal. The Library continues to grow. The most recent contribution was from Rev. I. D. Tally who gave a complete set of Homillectic books. This set is very valuable, both as a literary production, and as a side helper to the Ministerial student. This gift constitutes as a supplement to the last gift of last year from he Library of the late Mrs. Rutledge. The books from Mrs. Rutledge Library are also highly valuable to the Ministerial student. We have just received a new mattress from Mrs. Estella Diggs, of the Central District Association, and a set of cooking utensils from Mrs. R. F. Woods, of St. Louis. Both of the gifts came in the nick of time. The mattress arrived at just the moment when we were moving to the third floor, having been crowded out on the second floor. The cooking untensils replace many, some were worn out or too small. The boiler fund continues to thrive. A gift of $1,000 arrived last week from Mrs. John Golns. The student body attended in mass, the St. Stephens Baptist Church Sunday afternoon Nov. 5, 1922. The General Convention of Missouri, which here did through its President J. W. Hurne set aside Dunsay afternoon for Western College. Addresses were made lectionby Rev. C. R. MacDowell, Phes. Clement Richarson, and Rev. D. A. Holmes. Lastly a collection of $35.00 was taken, which was turned over to the Pres. of Western College and which will be applied to the boiler fund. In addition to the gift of $35.00, the convention voted to defray the expenses of two ministerial students at Western Baptist College during the year.

On Monday night November 6th, Western College was visited fr a time with mild disturbances. Shortly after darkness fell, mysterious figures could be seen quietly picking their way over the campus, headed toward the College Chapel. In a little while lights were seen in the Chapel, and figures seen goingf hither and yon. This was followed by the arrival through the dark, of an automobile. The car being parked in an out of the way place, four figures alighted, and also winded their way toward the Chapel. Two of these figures seemed to be leadrs of the mysterious plot. Through the glass windows students and guards looked on at these two leaders swinging their hands in the air. About this time, the Chapel doors slammed shut, and one of the figures was seen to pick its way toward the administration building. Student guards immediately rushed to the place to tell him of he supposed conspirators approach Quiet rapping was soon heard on the door, President and Mrs. Richardson opened and asked who was there, and what it was all about when he commenced singing. The Second Baptist Church had taken possession of the College Campus, and of the Chapel, and were having one of their weekly good times in song. The mysterious figures was Rev. S. W. Bacote who had been disposed to surprise the Press, and the faculty of the fact that the College Campus was in his charge, President, Faculty and Students were invited to join the singing. After explaining to the school that the community Sing was temporarily in charge, Mrs. S. W. Bacote who has the spokes man of he group began to explain that the group was on the hill for some sort of purpose. However the purpose did not come to the surface at once, but rather deferred until after services games and songs. Mrs. Bacote then handed to Mrs. Richardson, in the name of the Community Sing, and Second Baptist Church the sum of $60.95 to help pay for the school boiler. Responses were made by President and Mrs. Richardson. The visitors were then shown through the place and over the ground and all parted happy. This token comes as a climax to a number of gifts from the members of Second Baptist Church. Early in the Fall the Church donated fourteen bushels of potatoes. This was followed by a committee of Women from the Church who canned the grapes and the red hauls that had been grown on the Campus. This in turn was followed by barrels of dishes from Mrs. Stevenson, 2417 Montgall Ave. 0 MONTANA, THE LAND OF "ALL OF OUT DOORS" --- Continued from page one Montana and intends to return, but amid all the grandier beauty and opportunities, the persistent "call of Kansas," would not down, and so after an arrangement with the Northern Pacific, Burlington and Union Pacific trains, this homesick person arrived Tuesday afternoon, June 20, the happiest Kansan that ever "hit the trail" more in love with Kansas than ever, positively declaring that every little leaf and blade of Kansas bush and grass nodded a smiling welcome.

As we go to press it seems as if the Democrats in many sections have staged a come back. Many people are of the opinion that disgruntled Negro Republicans contributed greatly to the results indicated in the early election returns. Certainly they were largely responsible for the Republican defeat in New York, Maryland, Virginia and other actions where concerted action was taken against individual congressmen whose hearts were not right on the Dyer Antl Lynch bill. The day is past when Negroes are willing to be promised representative recognition before election and offered Janitors jobs after election. Education increased wealth and self respect demands more than that. The old argument that all of us should vote the Republican ticket because Lincoln (a Republican) freed us is dead issue. Besides, Lincoln did not free us; he freed our grand parents and they paid for that freedom with their lives (at least mine did). What we younger men of the race demand is justice for the race now. The Republican party can no longer expect our support on the strength of what Lincoln did, and we hope that the leaders of the G. O. P. realize that because after all we do have more than a passing affection for the Party of our fathers. We spent nearly two years between 1917 and 1920 hiping to make the world, "safe for democracy." Consequently we know from first hand experience just how hard it has been for some of the veterans of the World War to become readjusted to civilian life. Really we have ben unable to find any sympathy, whatever for those senators who voted against our bonus bill, and were given a long vacation Tuesday. Mason's Musings By J. E. Mason, Muakogee, Okla. Mason's Musings By J. E. Mason, Muakogee, Okla. The Fashion show held a few nights also at the Manual Training School, was not of a constructive nature, so for as building a constructive sense and stimulating the power spirit of drift among our people. We are promised to accept anything of novel that the affect is too often over soiled. To foster a sentiment for its remembrance in any of youthful amnese our people are not the only best things. Such days only serve to create a sense, which endures a letting down of morality. Not withstanding the attitude of Mr. Walton during this campaign, the old line Democrat made them campaign on the Negro, it seems that this document of the Democrat party feel to be a good and regular Democrat, this not fored to abuse the Negro. In fact, this party has dealt out to the Negro all the political misery he has received. There should be a general coming to tow of the American Negro just to take "stock" and find out what we stand. We are not getting any where. The of us who are trying to do, only a few segregated accomplishments, fails to realize how insignificant the con migration we are getting from the north. We are not satisfied with these who are pretending that there is a better day coming in the county, for the Negro, knows be he bes. We are tired looking for something to turn up as did the Civil war, we tie no comfort in the Negro mind does bubble about his patience, pray in wait and God will fly things. We are slowly being driven to serfdom, peaceage, and all around elimination. We have given all we had to give, that should entitle a people to justice, dom and the protection of the law, stores are denied each and every primary principal of equity. We can not any longer quaff this wormwood without a racial protest The lecture by Mr. W, M. Pickens of the N. A. A. C. P. was indeed a treat to this section of the country; no place in this country need his strong organization more than Muskogee and Oklahoma; we are just emerging from one of the nastiest political battles this country or state ever had. The colonies and women were absolutely denied their suffrage that the Democrat Party might steal the election. The Royal Arch and Knights of Templars, high degree Masons, had a grand session here last week. Some of the leading men of the state were in attendance. We will have to get a new cemetery, the Undertakers and manager of Harding cemetery have fallen out. Wright and Copeland will open a button place near by. Many of our women have been to long the victim of the Negro ministers lust, now the same things seems to be amongst the whites invariably the ministers of America of both races in many instances are using their lofty position to prostitute the women. When you hear a women praising, complimenting and becoming too active in church work, that is a very bad omen. By this sign you will know them. STATUE OF LIBERTY --- By Geo. C. Anderson We journeyed down to Kansas City Sunday morning. Instead of assisting the railroad to get rich, we rode to Lawrence in a Checker bus, and from there to Kansas City by interurban. The trip was pleasant and we found we had saved fifty-five cents besides. Although it was a business trip we found time to visit some of our old friends and acquaintances. The Y. M. C. A. of course was the first on the list. It was a delightful surprise to find Mr. Marshall and colleague in charge of the boys, and Mr. Mason, our successor at another "Y", in charge of the physical department. Next we dropped in at the Urban League to chat with our old friend F. T Lane, the secretary in charge. He was fresh from the conference of social workers at Pittsburg, Pa., and fired with increased ambition to be a real factor in the social uplift of our people. Mr. Lane is a splendid organizer, a good mixer and forcible speaker. He promised to visit Topka soon. It was our pleasure also to meet Professors Ross and Clark, two of the public school principals, as well as the Rev. Mr. Rogers, Dean of the Theological Dept. of Western College. On Monday we went to look the plant of the Baptist Record over and to chat with Rev. McDowell. Miss Bell, the lynotype operator pressed us into service to assist in making a balked machine work, so our chat was limited. Our last stop in Missouri was at the pretty Music store of Winston Holmes. We chatted with him and his wife, aile and listened to a radio program which came in through a combined phonograph and radio outfit for which Mr. Holmes is selling agent. Leaving there we returned to Topeka to find that work had piled up head high, but happy as a result of our week end trip just the same. Many of our people could not be out to hear Mr. Pickens last Wednesday night, because they had to attend a pray meeting. It was not because they are so religious, it is an old custom among them that make them think so. Toby packed a bucket of greens all the way from Taft, to Oklahoma City to give it to "dewhy foks" Old Toby, is certainly rooting for his job. But Toby you must go. Toby rushed into the Democrat headquarters and saw $25.00 to the campaign funds with the remark that the niggers are at me you white foks must stand by me or else I am gone. Billy keeping. How to line, head watching, hat in hard, yes, yes, yes, and playing the trick of an old slave can't be substituted for manhood, moral force integrity and lightness. This is it no, with landing Toby's tricks. Old Pete is fortunate in having an army of uneant followers, they don't need to know the facts, they are attached in getting the crumbs that falls from the Methodist试卷 table. You know all the box's but a few opinions of this "bunch" are Metho life they have a piece with that army of Sat or banned Baptist. The Negroes are coming into Oklahoma in Texas and Arkansas, by the train loads. The reason given is the bad treatment and the attempt to re-live the Negroes than out the old slave states. Just at this time, the public was about to get relief from these big conditions, come the news, that the Baptist are to have their festival in St Louis. The big thing with them now is the election of successor to Dr. Morriss. The woods are filled with candidates. One thing sure they would not elect a southern man for this position. The Negro who lived in the south now under the conditions that obtains is unfit by customs, training, temperament, ideals moral force, racial respect and brawness to lead this big body of liberty loving people. This is no age for an ex-slave to be placed at the head of young people, while he is a freeman in body, he is a slave in mind, conduct, and general vision. No doubt that the big bunch of ignorant arrogant, southern corn field Negro preachers will dominate the convention. I am unalterably oppose to placing Negroes who have necular fetishness for the so. thern institutions into positions of importance or at the head of big organization where the manhood of the race is involved. You just can not make a hero out of a The negro Baptist from every section of the country will be at the convention they will spend enough money in R R. fares, food, Confectionaries, Cigars, drinks and for a general good time to kill, lynching, "jim crow" cars, disfranchisement, and every segregated law in this country. If the N. A. A. C. P. had only one-fourth of the money this bunch will "throw away" many wrongs would be adjusted. Oddfellows had a big day in Rentle- ville last Tuesday and Wednesday. Grand Master.
