Plaindealer

THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER The Editor is in Oklahoma, do not miss seeing him Republicans See No Rebuke in 1922 Elections Washington, D. C., November 15—In Tuesdays elections Republican control of both branches of Congress was maintained. The usual reaction against the party in power was in evidence, accentuated by the fact that two years ago an anti Democratic landslide swept away all political morrings. Local, personal and nationally irrelevant issues dominated the political situation in many districts and states, and robbed the general result of most of its national significance. One of the few straight out fights along national political lines was in the President's some state of Ohio, where Simeon D. Fess was elected Senator by a decisive plurality although the Republican state ticket was defeated on local issues. The leading anti-Wilson anti-League Democrat in public life, James A. Reed, of Missouri, was re-elected while Gilbert M. Ivie cook, of Nebraska, pro-League and pro-Wilson leader in the Senate was defeated. In Massachusetts, where Senator Idge, Republican leader in the Senate fight against the Wilson League, was elected by a narrow margin, his opponent, Mr. Gaston, was an anti-Wilson, anti-League Democrat who voted against Wilson in 1920.

Sayers, a Prominent Attorney of Hill City, Kansas has recently been made a Trustee of the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute. The life of this estenile man stands out as an example to those who would aspire for a place in the Hall of Fame in view of the fact that tho born and reared on a farm he passed the County Teacher's Examination five months before he had reached the age required for receiving such a certificate. After teaching school six years and a the age of twenty two he was elected clerk of District Court of Graham County which position he held for five years and during this period he was admitted to the practice of Law. A special course in Kansas University was pursued but in his own words he armits that his education consisted of diligent home study in connection with all school work. He has served six years as County Attorney of Graham County, a fact which speaks for itself the height to which he has risen. K. I. E. I. felts that it has an added amount of security in his election to the Board of Trustees. Despite the very rainy weather a large congregation was present at St. John A. M. E. church Sunday morning. A rally was in progress all day and the church was favored in the afternoon by a sermon by Dr. Dineimore, Denn of the Theological Department of Western University. More than $700.00 was raised. This was the first rally of the Conference year toward the raising of $5000.00 necessary to complete the church.. O Hon. C. A. Franklin, Editor of the Kansas City Call, his mother, Mrs. Franklin, Carl Bekwith and Mr. Lo Coeur, also of the Call staff motored to Topeka Sunday morning to attend Church and look up old friends. Mrs Franklin lived in Topeka as a young lady. other elements not consisting issues between the parties, played a large part in the election result. The most decisive Republican defeat was in the state of New York, where personal and local issues dominated the situation completely, but had their national effect in the defeat of Senator Calder and of a number of Republican candidates for Congress. REORGANIZATION A TASK Complete reorganization of both Senate and House in the next Congress will become a major task of the Republican party for the exertion of its full strength during the second two-year period of the Harding administration. Control of both branches is assured and, although by greatly reduced majorities, with sufficient margin to maintain party support behind he President. The Republican will thus elect the chairman and dominate the committees in the important revision of committee assignments which will be necessitated in the Senate, and will elect the Speaker and floor leader, and other party managers in the House. Latest returns indicated that the Republicans will control the House in the Sixty-eighth Congress by a majority of perhaps 20, and the Senate by a majority of from eight to ten. NOTICE!

WEEK OF PRAYER OPENED LAST SUNDAY Sunday marked the opening of the week set apart for prayer by the Y. M. C. A. At the Young Peoples Forum held Sunday afternoon, about one-hundred and fifty people gathered to listen to a beautifully arranged program. All of the numbers were excellently rendered. The surprise of the evening came, however when DeFrantz Williams delivered a splendid address on "The Master." The address was well received and after the meeting, young Williams was the recipient of many flattering congratulations. An unique feature of the program was a guitar role by Miss Overstreet. A Hawaiian number was played and it enthusiastically applauded by the audience. The guitar is one of the most popular instruments of the race's selection, it was surprising to note the large number present who did not know the name of the instrument. Baxter C. Duke rendered an excellent baritone solo. There are many interesting events on the future program of the Association, and many of them under the auspices of the Forum. The most interesting one promises to be the Anniversary-Thanksgiving entertainment which will occur on the 28th of November. The foot ball team has at last struck its stride and from now on the rest of the teams will find the going hard when they come against the "Y". Lieut. Wm. Bettis, Editor of the Wichita Protest, was in the city this week on business. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING.

LAWRENCR ATHLETIC AND TOPEKA "Y" BATTLE TO NOTHING-NOTHING TIE The rain spoiled what promised to be one of the most spectacular football contests of the season Saturday afternoon at League Park, when the Topeka Y. M. C. A. team met the Lawrence Woodlawn Athletics. It seemed from the start that the Y. M. C. A. were sure winners. In fact at one time they carried the ball across Lawrence's goal line but the score wasn't allowed because the referee claimed that he had blown his whistle before the ball was carried across. Most of the spectators openly declared that the "Y" should have been given the score and even those who were not outspoken, plainly showed disappointment on their faces. The rain poured down in such torrents that it was impossible for either team to make its best showing. The game ended with a 0 - 0 tie.

Raynolds of Hunnington, Tenn. Places were laid for eight. Five Generation Topeka The Topeka Daily Capital for November 13, carried a story of a colored family, five generations of which, is living. The writer states that it is more than unusual for such a thing to be found among Colored people because their death rate is higher than that of the white race. Of course we Colored people know that the white people know so little about us that any statement they make concerning us, is to be taken with due reservation for their lack of knowledge. If a thorough investigation were made, it would be found that there are many very old people among the Negro race who are heads of families four or more generations. Five living generations of a family of whites are uncommon, but five living generations of a family of Colored people, among whom the death rate is high, is much more unusual. Mrs. Lucy Sharp, 80 years old, 1329 Van Buren, is the oldest member of this unusual family. However she is not the sole head. Her husband, Robert Sharp, 74 shares the headship with her. Mrs. Cora Shields is her eldest eldest of seven children. Steven B. Shields, 1708 Topeka Boulevard, is the only child of Mrs. Shields. Mrs. Corrine Tucker, also of 1331 Van Buren street, is of the fourth generation, being the only child of Steven B. Shields. Four Generations Live Side By Side Nadine Elizabeth Tucker, is the child of Mrs. Tucker is the youngest member of the family. The baby is K. I. E. I.

There are many former Lincoln Students in the city and they are expected to turn out en masse to cheer the "show me" boys along, while the rest of Topeka's fans will naturally root for K. I. E. I. for all they are worth Gov. Allen Bids All Kansas to Answer 6th Annual Roll Call St. Louis, Nov. 10th—Governor H J. Allen of Kansas urged the citizens of the state of Kansas to fall in line in support of the Sixth Annual Red Cross Roll Call which begins all over the United States on Armistic Day Governor Allen says; "It is my duty and pleasure to commend to the citizens of my state and the people of the Nation the forthcoming annual Red Cross Roll Call, beginning on the memorable anniversary of Armistice Day, November 30th. The Red Cross is one of the great American Institutions concerning which there can be no division of sentiment. Whether succeeding the war wounded or healing the scars left by military conflict it ever is the same, its immeasurable value, its dependability, its constancy of service is unchanged. In war and in peace the American Red Cross is immovably enshrined in every true American heart. May the 1022 Roll Call bring to this beloved institution the voluntary whole-souled support which it so richly deserves. PROMPTNESS Last week we got an order for some dodgers for an affair to be held the next day. The order came in at 9:00 o'clock a.m. and the dodgers were delivered at 12:00 m. the same day. Is that service? Let us do YOUR printing. We like RUSH orders. ```markdown ``` five months old. Four of the five generations live in houses which are side by side on Van Buren street. Mrs. Sharp was born in slavery in Kentucky. Until she grew to womanhood, she remained a slave of Mrs. Polly Merriweather, a wealthy widow. Owner Was Good to Her "Mrs. Merriweather was very good to me," the aged woman said yesterday. "She was the only owner I ever had." Fifty-four years ago this Christmas the former slave became the wife of Robert Sharp. About thirty years ago they came to Kansas and settled on a farm near Eskridge. They retired four years age and moved to their present home in Topeka. They own their own home as well as a sixty acre farm near Eskridge. Sometimes ago, they sold eighty acres of land near their Eskridge farm. Grandmother Was 100 Years Old Mrs. Sharp's mother lived to be 89 years old, while her grandmother lived more than 100 years. Mrs. Sharp has her second eyesight. Her husband, however, is not so spry and healthy as she is. Four of the seven children of the Sharps are living. One of them, William Sharp, is janitor at the state house. Two other children are Mrs William Page, Eskridge, and Austin Sharp, Colorado Springs, Colo. The Sharps also have seven grandchildren, nine great grandchildren and one great great grandchild. Both K. I. E I. and Lincon have strong fast teams and the contest tomorrow will be as good as any ever witnessed here this season. Rev. J. R.

Los Angeles is the Home of Many Wealthy People Los Angeles is the Home of Many Wealthy People So Mrs. Norene Davis Finds During Recent Trip. Continued from last weeks At Palo Alto we had a splendid view of Leland Sanford University just south of San Jose, the Lick Observatory; on the summit of Mt. Hamilton; at Salinas the sugar beet had it's monument, a great refinery; at Paso Robbles Hot Springs the center of Almond culture; at Cuesta Pass, at an elevation of 1500 feet, by a succession of loops and the great Horse Shoe Curve we crossed the mountains; at Summerland witnessed oil being pumped from wells sunk in the bed of the ocean; and finally this great scenic ride, which seems taken from a page of Fairy-land, brought me to Los Angeles again where I was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. U. F. McKinn, both of whom I knew back here, in Missouri, to be exact, and with whom I spent many pleasant hours, and whom I parted with sincere and mutual regret. The schools here are mixed, but a number of Colored teachers by their merit have won places on the teaching staff. Lo Angeles is noteworthy for it's beautiful edifices dedicated to the worship of God and equally noteworthy for the varied and highly successful business establishments conducted by our people. Here I met Rev. Griffith, who will be readily recalled by residents of Topeka, and of the A. M. E. Church, Rev. A. M. Ward, whom I shall ever hold in grateful remembrance for services rendered in tying a knot for me which has withstood the strain of sixteen years, and to all appearances, is as good as new. Here I met the remarkable Roberts family, father, mother, two sons, their wives, a daughter, and her husband, all actively engaged in the conduct of an undertaking establishment, completely appointed in every respect. One son, Fred Roberts is an attorney, also the first and only assemblyman of our race to sit in the legislative body of California. Heavy migration from the South has swelled the population of Los Angeles. Nature, with her spreading palms and verdant green, with flowers flung from a prodigal A Veritable Exodus is on From the South By Dr. R. H. Butler in the Atlanta Independent If anyone doubts that there is an ather great movement to the north east and west by thousands of colored people from Georgia justt let him on her go at the Terminal Station in Atlanta and see for him or herself. They are moving. There is a steady tide; every train carries away its human burden to lands they know not of. They have heard of high wages, freedom, educational advantages for their children, for human equality and all that and they are silently moving in that direction. To him who thinks beneath the surface on these matters there is a serious side, a sympathetic side. These people are really crusaders. The only difference between them and the crusaders of the past is, that the crusaders of the ages traveled on foot and lived on the countries through which they passed; these sad souls are spending their all on the trains and feeding themselves honestly as they silently move away. And, hen when one thinks that these people are leaving behind so many tender recollections it adds to the sadness of the situation. Over there in the little church yard lics all that is dear to many of them; there are some children, mother, grandparents and friends there in that little grave yard. There is the church where once every month, the pastor came and gave them spiritual advice and held up the cross of hope; down the hill is the little spring where when young, they gathered and played; and beyond all this lie the fields that were once white PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR the Home Wealthy People inds During Recent Trip. hand, conspires to lend an air, of enchantment which glorifies the small bungalow and the more pretentious dwelling alike, and in the eyes of an outsider, such as I was accustomed to a gimpse of such foliage only in conservatories or the homes of the wealthy, they all assumed a splendor and munificence out of proportion to the actual cost. A very large per cent of the population is composed of retired soldiers and their families, in well appointed and beautiful homes. I met here, Mrs. L. Brown the Grand Worthy Counsellor of California, and in the person of Assembly-man Fred Roberts, the Grand Lecturer of the Knights of Pythias. "What can you say of San Francisco from a business standpoint?" "Well, for an experienced man with sufficient backing and conducting a business in equipment and prices to meet general competition, there is a good field there, though I saw not one substantial business conducted by our people. However an establishment catering exclusively to our people would find the road rocky because of a sentiment prevalent there that such establishments would tend to promote discrimination and segregation on the part of white merchants. So you can see with what facility we fashion plausible arguments to stifle business enterprise and economic advancement among ourselves. Let's see, where was I? Oh yes, at Los Angeles. To a dweller of plains it was indeed fascinating to go out to the beach at Santa Monica, to view the ancient Missions, with their peculiarly distinctive architecture, the immense orange and lemon orchards with everywhere the most gorgeous and dazzling flowers in the most riotous and overwhelming profusion. But with all of it's attractions for the tourist. I felt a great thrill of pleasure steal over me when the train, with me a board, headed eastward on the first stage of the journey to the home I'd left behind. (To be continued) xodus From the South unto harvest at this time of he year now barren and covered with levers. Things all seem to have gone wrong It is now against the law to fish; it is against the law to hunt; it is against the law to do this and to do that, so they say; "What is the use? It seems as if life is hardly worth striving to maintain." The crops have failed. Disease is killing the hogs and the cattle. What has been made on some of the farms has all been taken by the landowners and nothing is left but an open door to the north; but even that door is a dangerous place to enter. All that has been said above is true and then the half has not been told. But I want to say to my dear people to be careful, very careful in this northward sweep.

A VERITABLE EXODUS GOING ON FROM THE SOUTH winter in the north and the west (especially the northwest) is no play thing, especially with housing conditions poor and the high price of coal I would say to them not to be discouraged. Many of the white people are bad, hearless and oppressive, yet all of them are not go. Stick it out right here. All the Egyptians are not Pharohs. True there was one that tried to take God's work into his hand but he was buried at the bottom of the Red Sea. Don't be so quick to run. Don't be so quick to blame all the white people because one takes away all you make. All he takes over that is his will not do him or his children any good. They may eat but it will not produce fat or strength. Leave it to God, work and pray. "The Bible says: "If a man takes your coat, give him your vest also; if he compels you to go one mile with him, go two miles; do not evil for evil, but rather do good for evil. Pray for your enemies." Leave it to God and in his time he will repay. "Vengeance is mine," saith the Lord. I saw a little mother at the station the other day with nine little hunny children on her way to the north. She was from a little town fifteen miles from Atlanta, and this was her story; "My husband died two years ago and I took charge of the farm with the children hoping o make something and come out all right. My first effort was a failure. They took all I made and I was in debt. I had to remain to pay up the debt. The result was this fal I just managed to pay out and have a few dollars left. With that I have a few dollars left. With that I bought tickets and am going to Davon, Ohio, where I already have promise of a job and school facilities for my children.

No matter what has failed to grow your hair, just give THE BEACON LIGHT It seems impossible for us to convince a whole lot of these "Northern" Colored people that they are members of a superior race. The students who attend our College and Normal schools throughout the state are helping us to establish our claim of superiority, it is true, that the vast majority still look upon the Negro as being "inferior." Now comes Enos West, a former Tulsa, Oklahoma, boy, farther establishing our claim to superiority. West is a student in the Topeka High school, and will graduate this winter from a four year high school course, after having spent three years in High School. One and one-half years were spent in Tulsa in an all Colored high school and one and one-half years will have been spent in Topeka in a mixed school. The remarkable part about this feat is that West is not a prodigy by any means but has all the virtues and faults of any other red blooded real boy. This is not an argument for either type of school, except to prove that the complexion of the teacher or pupil has nothing to do with scholarship. It is a better record than a white boy of approximately the same qualifications could make. We Northern newspaper men come down so hard and so often on the South without differentiating between the good and bad that the Atlanta Independent takes the Chicago Defender to task for its method of announcing the 24th Infantry's advent Into Geor- Muskegee, Okla.—The coming of the National Baptist convention carries with it a new epoch in this great religious body. They will be called upon to elect a president. It is fervently hoped that there will be no president elected from the south. The very conditions that obtain at this age preclude the consideration of such a ng. 1—The great drift of Negroes from the south. 2—The loftiness of the position. 3—The class of men this age calls for. 4—The embarrassment a southern president would be placed. 8-An unfit criterion for the rising generation. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS? We are in the printing business. We have had over fifteen years experience as a Printer. Because we wanted to be able to refute the stock argument of many of our friends we worked in many shops owned and operated by white people and along by the side of white workmen. It has been a source of wonder to us ever since we can remember how in the face of alleged mistreatment, Colored people can take work, of the nature we are engaged in, to white Printers, although the entire patronage they are endeavoring to attract is composed of Colored people. For a long time we have been seeing posters announcing dances of various descriptions and naturally we thought that since we were not doing the work, that the other Colored printer was, you can imagine just how we felt when we learned that the management was taking this work to a white shop, in the face of the fact that a part of our own office force was one of his steady patrons. To add further insult to this injury, one of our Church brethern did identically the same thing and came to us to sell us tickets to the affair he was advertising. You are the judge and jury. What is your verdict? Mason's Musings Ily J E. Mason, Muskogee, Okla. By Geo. C. Anderson gia. The editor does not bite his tongue but speaks right in this strong statement: "THE TWENTY-FOURTH IN GEORGIA." "Mr. Robert S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender, in his issue of October 28th, writes under the above caption a double column front pages article in which he conveys the idea that Georgia is a veritable hell. One who does not live in Georgia, after reading the article, will have visions of shreks and sighs unholy, and would wonder how on God's earth any Negro could live in Georgia. ****" "One who did not know, after reading the article in the Defender, would believe that every Negro in Georgia is nothing but a bootlick, hat in hand, me too, Boss" puppet in the presence of a white man; that he suffered every mode of proscription and every persecution within the category of sin and crime; that he could not even breathe the air or praise God without the white man's consent; that he dared not hold up his head as a man. The Independent feels and believes that the editor of the Defender has committed a great wrong against the state and that the conditions that his article would lead people to believe exist in Georgia are very humiliating and embarrassing to every Negro who lives in the state." --- We went to St. John A. M. E. Church Sunday and listened to a really excellent sermon by Dr. J. R. Ransom, the pastor. A rally was going on and apparently everyone present contributed. Three visitors were introduced and each was asked to talk. Among those three was Mr. C. A. Franklin, editor of the Kansas City Call. Mr. Franklin made a very interesting short speech which was enjoyed by the congregation. In introducing Mr. Franklin, Dr. Ransom dealt in superlatives. Because we are a 100 per cent booster of home enterprises, we arise in the meeting to invite Dr. Ransom to visit The Plaindealer Plant so we can explain to him exactly why The Topeka Plaindealer has the best equipped Newspaper plant west of Chicago. We are not jealous because we were no introduced to the congregation of St John in the superlative degree, either. The editor of The San Diego Eagle last week came back at editor Chile for having chided The California Eaglo for the attitude that excellent journal took in announcing the conation of the New Age and Western Dispatch. We timidly arise to inform The San Diego Eagle that editor Chiles didn't write the article in question. We, whose name appears at the top of this column, wrote it with our own stub pencil. The opinion expressed therin was based on the matter discussed look from where we sit, and without any knowledge of local conditions existing in Los Angeles. Since we are nt acquainted with any of the member of the staffs of either paper, our expressions was unbiased and unprejudiced. Fact is we rather lean naturally toward the two Eagles since they both claim relationship to the Plaindealer. 11—Forcing men and women to pay tribute to respect to a moral mummy. No one can contend this is an affair that belongs only to the Baptist, the very nature of the affair, calls the interest of all American Negroes. Denominational selfishness can not and will hinder nor excuse. We are one people in this country and the hurt of one is the concern of all. This nomination spends annually millions of dollars for the upkeep of a plagiarized church or creed. Part of this money comes from men and women of all creeds, saints and sinners. They take refuge behind denominational mountains is the very height of selfishness. We are proud to see the appointment of our good friend Mr. N. Scott Justice of the Peace for Muskogee county. Mr. Scott is a brilliant young man who has taken part in all enterprises that tends to elevate his community. Mr. Scott is from Tuskergee and has made good every since he left school. He spent several years in services over the seas. His court is in Summit a newly organized Colored town. He is winning quite a reputation in that fast growing community Today is Armistice Day. We all feel real sad and sorry for the way it is all carried out. Just think, we are ignominiously ignored, treated with indifference and studied insult, scorned, sturred on every hand. It really makes a fellow feel like "running and screaming." There are those who profess not to care, any man who is indifferent to such unpatriotic treatment in a fool, slave or scundrel, probably all. Each day carries us farther and farther from the ballot, each pay day proves to us our miserable condition, no need of trying to sing and pray in order to forget our misery. Men and women were denied to vote last Tuesday who had their registration papers. This was done to insure the election of a certain bunch. Yet, our people will go on unheeded and spend millions annually to keep in operation church schemes out of which preachers fosters, fatten and wallow in luxuries. You will never hear a southern Negro minister make a "fuss" about Negroes not voting. Their duty is to keep them from thinking by riveting their minds on churchism. Even the Negro Bishops thru out the south are filled with that, "yassah bos$ stuff, they have a different way of going at it. Why is it every time anything concerning the Negroes political welfare a big protracted meeting breaks out? Have you ever noticed the coincidence? If not, watch for it.

These fat, fed, fondled American Negroes had just as well "close up shop." There is no reward for Pimps as you leave the south. It will take a heart of steel to hang on when every principal right is invaded, when women of any race is driven from polls, when poor me I can not be in the great Armistice parade, I am black but comfy. I fought in every war this country ever saw. I fought from the Boston commons to the charge of Argoyne Hills in Europe. My blood has been spilled to make this country safe. My persecution has made fertile the farms of the south land. I donated 245 years of unrequited toil. My women have been made the medium to slake the lecherous thirst of southern liberties. I have converted the southern wilderness into smiling cities that have become the envy of the civilized world. In fact I have kept faith. But sad to say; there is no reward for me but lynching, burning, disfranchisement, segregation and the licking the palm of those who make a speciality of brutalizing me and mine. It took the heart of steel, the brains of hyena, the concious of an ape, to hang on to a party that disfranchise your brother; drive your sister from voting place with registration in hand, threaten to mob an entire community for attempting to vote. Mall the leaders K. K. K. letters with a threat to not come to the voting place. I say brother, if you can support such a regime or political part as that, then you have neither soul or principal.
