Plaindealer

THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER The Editor is in Oklahoma, do not miss seeing him Return Trip Full of Interest Says Mrs. Norene Davis in an Interview. Continued from last week While the transitim meant many weary hours of travel. I just cannot take time to talk about the journey although, to a discriminating observer, some of the most interesting places of life are disclosed on route. at one's elbow. Great chunks of fresh (at or meat exposed on tables, and so the ranker it became the greed demand. So, as the curtain rises, behold me making my second entry into this mountain stronghold, garrisoned by the headquarters detachment of the 10th Calvary. Here I was the houseguest of Mr. and Mrs. Wade Hammond. Mr. Hammond is a warrant officer and band master of the 10th Calvary band, which stands in the front rank among the bands of that branch of the Nation's defense. I was shown every possible courtesy by all with whom I came in contact, and Sergt. and Mrs. Edward Gordan, Sergt. and Mrs. Thompson, Sergt. and Mrs. S. B. Smith and Mr. and Mrs. Lynn entertained me in their homes, while Sergt. S. B. Smith and wife, Sergt. Chester Lewis, Sergt. Barfield, and Mrs. Alberta Rowlette afforded me numerous pleasant motor trips. One trip was to Garden Canyon's fertile valley, watered by many bubbling springs, from which Ft. Huachuca's water supply is pumped, and the natural scenic beauty of which was not surpassed by anything viewed in California or elsewhere. Beet Esther Court No. 45 entertained in my honor at the Hostess Mouse, with husbands and invited friends present and the evening passed in games and social converse. By special invitation I met the juvenile department of the Royal Circle, Friends of the World, Mrs. Janie Johnson, formerly of Kansas City, Governess, with Sergt. I. H. Johnson, supervisor. Mr. Gordon and I went over to Nogalea, where we were house guests of Sergt. ("Pap") Holden and wife. Through the efforts of Mrs. Holden, a club had been formed, which I formerly inducted into the Order and is now "Aster Court, No. 47, with forty-one charter members. It has the distinction of being the only women's fraternal organization there. Here I met Chaplain Carter, who by simplicity tact, and un-assuming demeanor, has conquered the hearts of all who come under his ministrations. Mrs. Carter is an admirable example of what a chaplain's wife should be, and enjoys a popularity all her own. On Sunday, I visited the Sunday school, and noted the large attendance of the men. Chaplain Carter, at the close, invited me to accompany him on a visit to the guard house. Here I beheld quite a number of men, most of them youthful in appearance behind the bars of the prison. The chaplain made a brief address, well calculated to soothe, comfort and encourage, concluding by a few explanatory remarks of me and my presence there, then requested me to talk to them. But I was so grief stricken at the sight of so many intelligent looking, manly young fellows under confinement, and, holding an exaggerated nation, (as I afterwards learned) of the gravity of their offenses, could only shake my head in the negative as the unbidden tears stole down my cheek. On leaving, Chaplain Carter relieved the tension by explaining that most of them were confined for minor infractions of military discipline, and not for that degree of moral turpitude which would be necessary before a man in civilian life would be failed. I was the dinner guest of Warrant Officer and Mrs. Gillum, who motored over into Sonora, Mexico, quite a distance, for my pleasure. The Mexicans or very friendly to our race, and many beautiful senoritas have been induced to soften the rigor of army life by their presence as wives and mothers. Nogales is a dual city, astride the border, and on the Mexican side the houses with no attempt at regularity, stand perched one above the other upon the mountain side. Of adobe rooms tiny beyond belief, with bunks like shelves for sleeping purposes. The streets, where such are possible are narrow as our alleys. At every turn, palettes or other games of chance are at one's elbow. Great chunks of fresh (at one time) meat exposed on tables, and seemingly the ranker it became the greater the demand. Well, on Monday we had the first meeting of our new Court, and it certainly was pleasing in my sight the way they took to the work, just like old Court members, is a very short time. As dinner guest of Mrs. Hattie Barnes, whose husband Sergt, Samuel Barnes, is soon to retire. I had the pleasure of seeing a truly wonderful collection of needle work she had produced, many rare and beautiful curios from the Philippines and Japan, and a collection of the most beautiful dishes I ever beheld. I was informed the dishes were acquired in Japan. My palate was tickled with game of several varieties, cooked to perfection. While we arrived too late to hear the program rendered at the recreation hall, still Mrs. Holden, Mrs. Gordon and I, accompanied by "Pap" Holden were in ample time for the dance which followed. "Pap" Holden is famous through all Posts, and for miles around for his gallantry with the ladies, and they do say the backfence gossips, that he is one pig shy on account of it. Here I met, Hubert Clark, Post Movie operator, and the son of Jumbo or Rag Clark, well known to Kansas City people of a decade ago, as a rag man of an original genius, who secured rags as a gift, for which others less entertaining would have to haggle. The next day back to Huachuca, and the regular monthly meeting of Beth Esther Court, working finely under the leadership of Mrs. Fannie C. Smith, and more than $100 in the treasury. On Wednesday night "F" Troop gave a fine dinner dance and I accepted the invitation extended to me. The band under the direction of Ass't. Band leader Williams, certainly rendered a program which was, to quote one enthusiastic dancer, "a knockout." The next morning I left for Columbus, New Mexico, not bereft of its former glory, the 24th Infantry. A large delegation met me, in two large touring cars, including Chancellor, Commander Owens and wife, Mrs. Laura Smith, and others whom I cannot now name. Under this Noble escort I was conducted to the home of Sergt. Chadinau, where a fine dinner awaited me. The next day Sergt. and Mrs. Cooper took me motoring down in sight of the border, and the mountains which lay in that enchantment which distance gives it the view. The next day the Worthy Councellor entertained me at dinner, and on Sunday I attended services at both the Baptist and Methodist Churches, at the latter I met, to our mutual surprise, Rev. Grant Kirby, formerly of Kansas City, filling the pastorate to the entire satisfaction of his congregation. Mrs. Chadman and Mrs. Milton, hired a service car and took me out sight seeing across the border to the Continued on Page 4 SUNFLOWER GRAND COURT HEADS MEET IN TOPEKA The Sunflower Board of Control, met in the city Saturday at 10:30 at the home of Mrs. Matley Coran 1155 Clay Street.

Native Africans in Starving Condition New York, Nov. 20.—A story of famine that threatens the life of at least 1,500,000 natives in Inhambane, Portuguese East Africa, was brought to New York office of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church today by the Rev. J.D. Pointer of Wilmore, Kentucky, who is just returning on furlough from missionary service in that country. Rev. and Mrs. Pointer have spent ten years in Inhambane and are now to have a year's rest in Wilmore, Kentucky; Mr. Pointer was formerly a pastor in Louisiana. According to Mr. Pointer, the fami- nia area extends about 800 miles north and south and about 100 miles in land from the coast. About 1,500, 000 people live there, of whom some 5,000 are Christians. The 1922 harvest, which usually comes in March or April, was a total loss because of lack of rain. Most of the lakes have dried up and there is practically no irrigation. Corn and peanuts are the man crops, though the tapioca plant and sweet potatoes are also raised. None of these articles have been grown throughout the terriory since March 1921, and since the natives have no money, they have been unable to avail themselves of supplies coming by boat from the Transvaal. Even this grain has been held at the prohibitive price of $2 per bushel. As a result, large numbers of people have been dying since last April; the number will run into many thousands before the harvest of April 1922 says Mr. Pointer. Then, if there is another crop failure at this time--as is not unlikely according to experts--will be necessary to raise millions of dollars for food if wholesale disaster is to be prevented. The Portuguese officials in Inhambane, Mr. Pointer reports, are helping a little but nothing commensurate with the need and suffering. The Board of Foreign Missions has sent from its headquarters, 150 Fifth Avenue, New York City, enough funds to purchase grain to keep the members of the Christian communities alive until spring; it has no funds available for more extensive relief. This Inhambane section of Africa has for many years furnished some 300,000 young men annually for work in the mines around Johannesburg. When the effects of the famine were first felt, there was a rush o men to the mines, but it was necessary to turn away many thousands. Many mines have been working only part time owing to strikes and a number have been flooded during the disorders and cannot be operated for some months. It is not noticed also that the young men are not returning from Johannesburg after a year or two in the mines, as in their custom, but are remaining until the famine is over. The Board of Foreign Missions has also received word from Dr. J. C Stauffacher, missionary in Inhambane, that "you can travel a day's journey in any direction and see several people dead or dying from starvation by the roadside. Last week on our farm at Kambini fve were found dead before they could reach us. A little boy came to me yesterday and wanted to sell his little sister for two sacks of corn because he was hungry NOTICE Headquarters of the National Baptist Convention 2726 Pine St. To the Delegates expecting to be in attendance at the National Baptist Convention at St. Louis, Mo., Dec. 6th to 11th inclusine.

PROGRAM SUNDAY BEST OF SEASON The regular Sunday afternoon meeting at the Kansas Ave., Y. M. C. A., known as the Forum has grown and grown until the attendance each Sunday taxes the seating capacity of the building. This growing appreciation of the effort put forth to reclaim the younger people of the race for leadership shows that the hand work of the secretary and his co-workers is being rewarded. The program last Sunday afternoon was graced by the presence of Father Wright of the Cemetery of the Assumption, of Kansas City, who delivered an address entitled "Shadows on the Wall". The audience composed of 160 persons were well pleased with the splendid address. 7 other pleasant surprise was sprung when Homer Floyd, student linotype operator of the Plaindealer rendered "Three O'clock in the Morning" on the Violin. This meeting also closed the week of prayer ad it was in celebration of this event that the program was arranged. Fourteen Hi-Y boys are enrolled to attend the Older Boy's Conference at Manhattan December 1st, 2nd and 3rd which is expected to be the biggest conference of its ever held in the state. An excellent program under the auspices of the Young People's Forum has been arranged for Sundny, December 26th by the Hi-Y. The newly organized Hi-Y orchestra will make its debut. The climax of all the other functions will accur when the Y. M. C. A Anniversary Barquet and Thanksgiving Celebration takes place at the Metropolitan Hall, Tuesday, evening November 28th. A delicious dinner will be served, and a program different from anything else will be furnished. Invitations have already been mailed. The committee has asked each person receiving an invitation to let his or her acceptance be known so that sufficient places may be reserved. Admission to the hall will be free. Y. M. C.

TULSA IN 1922 Life in the Valley of Death By William Pickens The colored people had a fine little segregated section before the massacre—business of all sorts, amusements and elegant homes. Then came the mob. It brought trucks, hundreds of trucks, to steal the goods of the Negro. Grent trucks were backed up in front of Negro groceries, shops and residences, and everything worth while was loaded on anc carted off—and then oil or gasoline was poured on what remained and a match struck. The colored men, women and children were shot or butchered or driver away. On went the mob—not so much bent on vengeance as on GETTING. Look—loot—loot. Four months after the massacre colored women would catch would catch white women on the streets of Tulsa wearing the silks and fineries ravished and stolen from those colored women. Proud white women! And some of the black women were bold enough to hale the white women into court or otherwise take back the stolen property. But now there has been Resurrection in this Valley of Death—Resurrection. Over all the desolate acres that were swept by fire and poured by bullets there are now the dwelling and the business houses of black people—some temporarily built, most permanently built and many built better than before. There are now fifteen thousand of these colored folks, perhaps more than before the massacre. And just think—the fool robber-mob thought it was ridding itself and Tulaa of colorful folk forever. Segregation forced by these colored people in possession of one of the best Galev No. 2 Homer Floyd sections of all the land about Tulsa. They have encamped, so to speak, in the great valley to the southwest and so cut off forever the advance of the white in that direction. Where to-day is all the teeming life, there was fifteen months ago a burned wilderness like the track of a forest fire. And think of it; they did not get any fire insurance, for they did not have "riot insurance," and you are not paid on ordinary insurance when your Western College is Training Many Preachers Until one has made the visit to the tall building standing in the center of a large campus on he hill at 21st and Woodland Ave., Kansas City, Mo., he can not fully realize the magnitude of the work being done by the organization known as Western College. Supported by the Baptist denomination, mostly in Missouri, it's foremost aim seems to be to train Ministers and Missionaries to carry on the word of God throughout the world. Although literary training is provided leading to the regular college degrees. All of this work is being done by a capable faculty headed by Dr. Clement Rich- K. I. E. I. BEATS LINCOLN Missouri Negroes Lose, 13 to 6, in a Fumoleless Game In a fumbleless game, Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute defeated Lincoln University of Jefferson City, Mo., 13 to 6, on Washburn field yesterday afternoon. The Industrial Insititute was superior in line plunging. It plowed thru the lighter Lincoln line for the first downs time after time. But Lincoln excelled in forward passing. It completed two passes for forty yards each and a large number for shorter distances. The Institute attempted only one pass which failed. The first quarter was scoreless, with the ball in Lincoln's territory most of the time. K. I. E. I. made two touchdowns in the second quarter by straight line plays, and the whistle for the half apparently prevented another score, as the ball was in the shadow of he Lincoln goal. In the third quarter Lincoln staged a rally. Twice by passes the team carried the ball nearly the length of the field to the institute 10-yard line and lost on downs. Early in the fourth quarter, Hamilton scored for Lincoln by an end run from the 15-yard line. During the rest of his quarter the Institute seemed to have his advantage over Lincoln. Lincoln lost her chance to be the Valley Champion at the Missouri Valley Saturday when her team lost to the heavv K. I. E. I. team. The Topcha Daily Capital sums up the game as follows: Lineup: K. I. E. I. Lincoln E. Tucker ... L. E. ... Smith M. Shoals ... L. E. Robinson Lewis ... L. G. Wilson I. Smith (c) ... C. Mason Werdlow ... R. G. Kelley Wilson ... R. T. Brooks Waller ... R. E. Rankin P.

I., Stevenson made 1 and missed one Lincoln, Gant missed one. Officials—Ted Wright, Baker, Refere; William Bradshaw, Washburn, umpire; Tom Jefferies, Tufts, head linesman. House is burned by a mob. Most people do not know that. Most of them lost everything, and like God they have created this something of today out of nothing. Many of the houses are still unfinished, built only on the outside. There is Mrs. Williams theatre. Before the riot it was one of the finest little playhouses in the city. It was destroyed. It is rebuilt; the inside is unfinished and the ceiling not yet in. But is patronized, a great crowd every show of every night in the week. She was not able to buy opera seats for the whole auditorium and the back third of the house has old time backless plank benches. Bu. those benches are crowded. O. the spirit of these people!

A visit to Kanzas City is not completed until one has seen Western College. The Lady From Georgia By James Welon Johnson in the New York Age A good deal has been said about Mrs. W. H. Felton, appointed by the Governor of Georgia to fill the unexpired term of Senator Watson of that State, and Mrs. Felton has had a good many things to say. Her opinions on a great many subjects have been sought by intrviewers. Some of her opinions as expressed were rather shrewd and knowing; others were worthless because they were subjects of which she had no adequate knowledge. We have quite a clear recollection of some of the opinions expressed by Mrs. Felton which were not drawn out of her by interviewers but which sprang up spontaneously from her mind, opinions upon such matters which she was very much concerned, opinions which expressed her deepest convictions. This was years ago when she used to write rather fiery letters to the Atlanta "Constitution" and other Georgia papers. Many of these letters were on the ever present Negro problem. We do not know how Mrs. Felton feels on this question at the present time. She is now eighty-seven years age, and perhaps the stretch of years has somewhat mellowed her. Yet it is quite satisfactory to us that the old lady is not to take a seat in the Seattle. Going back to one of the opinions which express Mrs. Felton's actual convictions, we recall for our readers a statement which she made more than a generation ago in a paper which she read before the State Agricultural Society which met at Tybee, near Savannah, Georgia. In that paper Mrs. Felton said the question of lynching: "I am a law-abiding woman. I believe in maintaining law and order. I believe in trial by jury. I believe in the courts. I believe in allegiance to the constituted authority, but I say to you man of Georgia when a black man commits an unspeakable wrong against a white woman in this State, we women want you to lynch, and lynch quickly." Of course, it was mere verbiage when Mrs. Felton prefaced her real opinion by saying she was law-abiding, believed in maintaining law and order, believed in trial by jury and in courts and allegiance to constituted authority. In making these statements, she merely illustrated again the fact that the blackest scoundrel will often do evil deeds while professing the highest motives. This statement made by Mrs. Felton years ago is in great contrast to the statement issued by the white women of Georgia on the subject of lynching a year or so ago. We repeat, we do not know whether Mrs. Felton has kept up with modern humanitarian thought or not, but we are well satisfied that she is not to sit in the Senate. ANNOUNCEMENT Rev. J. R.

Monday of Croweburg. St. Louis, Nov. 16.—Regional chairman, Roy F. Bailey, of the Red Cross chapters in the region surrounding Salina, Kansas, and member of the Southwestern Division Red Cross Roll Call Committee, says in statement to Roll Call workers in his district that, "it takes no prophet to see when conditions are as good as they might be, the Red Cross will have heavier burdens to carry and, therefore, needs more support than ever in order to be ready to carry these burdens". "Never in recent years has the Red Cross been needed ash it is now", he said, "and will be during the year just beginning, so the Roll Call whil- is to be made this fall is of double Homer Floyd Gallay 5 importance. The Red Cross is our one American institution that is international. There are many countries across the water where the flaming emblem of the Red Cross is better known than the 'Stars and Stripes'. There it is known as a friend that can be depended upon to 'rescue the perishing, and care for the dying. "More than this, in this country the Red Cross is a business investment for any community, for it prevents the spread of epidemics, it makes those who need help, self supporting so they will not be a burden on the people, it helps the sick and aged. It educates in personal sanitation and other health lines along with all other educational features of the Red Cross program, all of which form good interest on the investment. "Hundreds of years before the Red Cross was born, the only perfect man the world has known, laid the foundation upon which it rests and gave it the motto which it works." "Even as Ye do it unto the least of these, Ye do it unto Me. With this inspiration to guide the men and women who are behind the Red Cross Roll Call, there is no doubt of success."

Now we know it. The one thing which attracted our at: tentlon lately and on which we think they are entirely wrong is the Garvey issue. After telling of Garvey’s won- derful power as an organizer and saying that he cannot be all wrong because of the number of persons be- tonging to his organization and the number given is an exaggeration, we believe the editor chides Garvey’s criticisers for not, joining the organi- ration fighting ieee the inside. Ar editor of the le: journal in a city as large as Detroit, that is a very poor argument. The‘reason why that method will not work with Garvey is because If a member of Garvey’s does not do as Garvey dictates out he goes. One might as well advise the Negro to boost for the Ku Klux Klan or lynching, because such a large number of people support both institutions and because of this neither can be far wrong or he might advise Negroes to join organizations which are known te be inimical to him and improve them from the Inside. That advice would be senable as that which our worthy contemporary actually gives, And he actually has the temerity te eny that if Garvey is robbing slx million Ne groes, it is nobody’s business but Gar vey’s and the persons he is robbing, but could we not also say that if a man goes out and murders another man, it is nobody’s business but his and the man he murdered? In Columbus, Ohio, our old friend and colleague, Nimrod B. Allen, for mer Executive Secretary of the Spring St. Branch Y. M. C. A., and now Executive Secretary of tthe Ur- ban League, hes brought down the wrath of the F, F, 0.'s on his head fox daring to tell them the truth concern: ing themselves. The Ohio State Monitor a Negro journal “published in the interest of Kingdom building und racial uplift” but which spells Negro with a small N, devoted two whole columns, and published Mr. Allen's picture so that the world might know him, to an at tack on this young man who had the nerve to tell a bunch of selfsatisfie’ egotists the size of their collars. When we read the attack (and we reve (* a!" we could have hugged Bro, Allen for eaying what we desired to say five years ago.
