Plaindealer

THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER TWENTY-FOURTH YEAR NUMBER FORTY-EIGHT Dr. L. K. Williams Loom Large as President of National Baptist Convention Members Believe Anyone Who Accompolished What He Has Must Be From God The National Baptist Convention will meet in St. Louis, Mo. December 6th to elect a successor to the late F. C. Morris who served the Convention for more than twenty five years as National President. We hope the Baptist delegates who will cast their votes for next President will cast aside personal feeling, superstition, and malice and vote for the minister who not only looks after the Baptist alone but the interest of the whole race, a man who is unselfish, a man who is doing big things, a man who can go to the White House and look the President in the face and tell him of the many wrongs being done to our race—one who can go before the Senate and House Committee and do the same there, a good moral sensible man, one that will not worship himself or money, one that is progressive, one that will preach from the house top showing up evil in both races, East, West, North, and South. A man that will get close to the Christian, white people without bowing or cringing, knowing that he is one Baptist and twelve million Colored people to sing his praise and stand by him in the right, one that will teach our race to get together along business lines. We need millions of mechanic, farmers and laborers, who will work and accumulate, thousands of professional and business men. It takes leaders to open the way of advocating all these necessary things to make a race. From the great reputation and history made by the giant, stalwart, L. K. Williams, pastor of Olivet Baptist Church is that man. They tell us he goes out and seeks positions for both the men and the women of his race, that he goes before the Executives and tribunals telling the people to take their feet off of his race and let them go, that he has caused the appointment of hundreds of young women of the race to good paying clerical positions. He has seen to it that the professional and business people have their place. The laboring class is being cared for by the thousands. If all this be true then he is, the Moses to lead the race to the Promise land. We have no ax to grind or any one to favor only to assist in selecting what we think is best for both races. They say he is a diplomat and Heaven knows we need a leader of that type who knows what to say and say the right thing at the right time and one who will not reach for vocabulary, high sounding phrases to attract attention. The Plaindealer is the watchman on the wall looking out for the race and we think Rev. L. K. Williams pastor of the famous Olivet and its nine-thousand members that was made famous by this great disciple of Christ should be recognized. In using the expression of the Prophet of Old. "A man who is doing the things he does must be from God." Nick Chiles Editor Topeka Plaindealer President of The Kansas De- fense Society Following the Chicago Riot of July 1919, a group of eighty one citizens, representing forty-eight social, civic commercial and professional organizations of Chicago met August the 1st, 11019, and adopted unanimously a resolution and appointed a committee of its members whose instructions were to get an audience with his Excellency the Governor, and respectfully petition and urge the appointment on an emergency State committee to investigate and study the psychological, social and economic cause underlying the conditions resulting in said race riot and to make such recommendations as would tend to prevent a recurrence of such conditions in the future. Acting upon that petition and request as well as upon information already gotten by personal investigation Governor Lowden appointed a committee of twelve men, six of whom were members of the white race and six of whom were of the Negro race. The personnel is most conspicuous in inability. Attainments, achievements, successes and triumphs; for on that state commission are men known wherever trade, commerce and philanthropy have made their appearance; professional men such as physicians and lawyers of national repute and name and editors and publicists whose names are household words in every center of civilization of this Nation and it might be truthfully said a familiar name on two hemispheres but the only representative by direct appointment and commission of the Prince of Peace appointed by the Governor on that State Commission and the upstanding and the outstanding figures for the principles and the teachings of the Prince of Peace of the whole Commission was Dr. L. K. Williams pastor of the Olivet Baptist Church. The Governor, the Commission, the city of Chicago, State of Illinois, the United States and finally the human family of the whole world are to be congratulated upon the wise and timely appointment of Dr. L. K. Williams. We most heartily and cheerfully offer to our Baptist Brotherhood for the Presidency of the National Baptist Convention the honored President of the Baptist General State Convention of Illinois, Dr. L. K. Williams. He is a man honored and loved by us because of his ability and his achievements. He has the vision and the program. READ WHAT HE HAS DONE; SEE WHAT HE WOULD FAVOR FOR OUR CONVENTION, and we believe you will conclude that he is the man eminently fitted for promotion and the Presidency of, the National Baptist Convention.

SOUTH URSKOUNTY BETTLEY HOME OF ONE OF THE LARGEST NEGRO BUSINESSES IN OKLAHOMA South Muskogee Boasts Real Negro Mercantile Establishment In our trip thru Oklahoma, we dis covered a great Institution and business concern, operated and carried on by colored people. The South Muskogee Development Company, formerly known as Summit five miles south of the suburbs of Muskogee. It is managed by Rev. L. W. Thomas, his son, son-in-law and daughter, they operate a large Mercantile Dept, gin and has These lots are divided up into a tracts and other town lots. The prices ranging from fifty to three hundred dollars with small payments down and no taxes. This company owns something like a thousand acres of land south of Muskogee. They have also organized a broom factory where every purchaser of an acre tract will be given a share. It was certainly a pleasure to visit the office and talk to Mr. Thomas and his assistants. He is a wide awake business man as shown both races, that business can be done by a colored man as well as a white man if he has the ability and patience to push and do so. Within the short time we were in his office, we saw him pay several hundred dollars for cotton to farmers. Ransom-Lancaster Wedding Topeka's Largest Social Event Rev, J. R. Ransom Becomes Benedict Again. Bishop Parks Performs Ceremony. The wedding ceremony at St. Jol A. M. E. Church last Tuesday evening. November 27th was the greatest event that has ever taken place at this Church. Rev. Jefferson Richard Ransom, the Pastor and Mrs. Eliza Larcaster of Independence were united in holy wedlock by the Right Rev Blanton Parks of the 5th Episcopal District. The ceremony was delayed from 8:30 until 10:00 o'clock owing to the late arrival of the bride-elect who arrived on the Santa Fe at 6:40 from her home and arose from a sick bed against the Doctor's orders to carry out that everlasting sacred promise. After the long ride she was compelled to rest before the ceremony. The large crowd of members, friend and visitors were anxious to see the event take place and were restless at times from rumors that she would be unable to come. At last the family of Rev. Ransom came in and the gueen's began to feel good. A few moments later Bishop Parks and wife came in from the east door, then Mr. J. H. B. Taylor, one of St. John's Trustees, who is tall and stately led the bridal party down the lane from the west side to the Altar where Bishop Parks performed the ceremony after which they will give them the facts. city and is now taking a law course.

Organization was affected this week looking to the election of Dr. M W. D. Norman, famous Minister and Pastor of Metropolitan Baptist Church, on "R" Street, this city, to be President of the next Baptist Convention. The executive head of the National Body of Colored Baptist is the highest position in the Church and is coveted by the leaders of the faith among colored people. Dr. Norman who is a great favorite among the local churchmen was indorsed last monday night in an enthusiastic meeting of the Baptist minister's Convention composed of 175 Ministers of the Gospel and 35,000 communicants. Resolutions were offered by Dr. William D. Jarvis not only indorsing Dr. Norman, but pleading the Baptist family of the District of Columbia and vicinity to "dress its best Christian endeavors to bring about the election of Dr. Norman to the presidency of the National Baptist Convention at its next meeting in S. Louis, Mo., December Lincoln University, Pa. Nov. 24. The recent action of the Board of the Association of Colleges of the Middle States and Maryland adds one more Negro Institution of higher learning to the list of accredited colleges of the Middle Atlantic States. Today, on the occasion of an address to the students of Lincoln University by Hon. Roland S. Morris, Ambassador to Japan under President Wilson, George Johnson, Dean of the College of Lincoln University, announced that Lincoln had been recognized as an A-1 Institution. On November 20th the Commission on Institutions of higher education of the Middle States compromising New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, District of Colombia and Maryland, took action to include Lincoln University in its list of approved colleges. The association gave their approval of Lincoln University and their recognition of its degree only after several months of searching investigation in which the quality of the classroom and laboratory instruction, the standard of admission and the facility for carrying on strictly college work were given the fullest examination. The Dean pointed out that significance of this action is that credits and degrees from the Institution will be recornized as on par with those of such Institutions as Columbia 'University of Pennsylvania and Priaceton, the leading institution of the country. 492 494 PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR This Passenger Stood Up For His Rights Get Witnesses And Invoked Law Against White Invaders Of Railroad Car Now a Colored railroad passenger in South Carolina maintained his rights against white invaders of the smoking and wash rooms is told in a letter of Wm. H. Summerson of Darby, Pennsylvania, made public today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. "Leaving Charleston. S. C., Oct. 29, 1022, on the Atlantic Coast Line R. R. for Philadelphia," says the letter in part. "I took a seat in coach 1014 which in appearance was the same as the one occupied by the whites. In the forward end of the coach were, on the left Ladies Toilet, and on the right, Ladies Wash Room. About 15 minutes after the train left Charleston, I noticed a young man go into the ladies toilet, after coming out he then went into the ladies wash room; about 10 at once thought something was wrong so I began to investigate and I found that at the rear end of the coach the smoking room with all accommodations for men had been taken over by the whites and our men were obliged to use the women's toilet and if they wanted to smoke, they had to go to the platform of the car to do so, and at one time 6 or more were there smoking while the train was speeding along. "Shortly after noting these facts, the train conductor came along and I asked him, what about the men's smoking room and their toilet in that coach, and he said that we would have to use the women's and go to the platform, if we wanted to smoke. I then said to him that it was against the law of the Inter-State Commerce and that I would report it. "Later I secured the names of a few witnesses which I here send you..... While I was getting these names the conductor sat 3 or 4 seats back of me talking to 2 white men. Shortly afterward the disappeared into the smoking room and a short while after that I noticed a change and the smoking room was vacated by the whites and turned over to us before we reached Florence, S. C." The N. A. A. C. P. commends Mr. Summerson for the way he obtained witnesses and his courage in dealing with the situation. Boley's Postmaster a Credit to Department George W. J.

Above all Propagandists and Wilson crowd other Republican leaders, they hoped to “get” Mr, Lodge. Happily they tailed in their effort, though they came uncomfortably near success, Senator Lodge has stood his ground vallantly at Washington against the desperate eampaign to involve us in the fancifal Wilsonian scheme for a fuper-government at Geneva. He has proved himeelf vigorous and re- sourceful, has kent his head and his temper, and will go back to the Cap- itol when his present term expires next March with the best wishes of uncounted admirers .and friends.— Providence (R. 1.)

Send 25c for full size One of the continuous causes of wonder on our part is the peculiar attitude of "our people" toward Negro newspapers. Recently we heard two or three teachers commenting on the "absurd" names chosen by publishers of Colored newspapers. This morning we sat in our corner and looked over all the papers which are sent to our office each week. Nowhere did we see a name applied to a Negro paper that wasn't common to the newspaper profession. Somehow or other Colored people get the idea that anything their own people get up must necessarily be inferior, and certainly different from those gotten up by "the other race." For our part we know that Negro papers compare favorably with all other journals of a like type. They may not be able to complete in size and regularity with big dailies but then neither do the weeklies conducted by white people compete with daily papers. Well it looks as if both the Dyer Anti-lynching bill and the Liberian Loan bill are deal. Thus passeth our hopes of creditable recognition at the hands of the present administration It seems as if we have lost out all around. One thing is certain, however, a daily paper out in southern Ohio will have its old managing editor back on the job after March 4th, 1924. The ex-soldiers and Negroes will see to that. The Plaindealer makes every effort to secure the latest news and present it each week to its readers. We also depend on our friends whom we favor at every turn to assist us. Too often they don't. We have in mind an institution dedicated to the service of the people whom we serve, which to often ignores us altogether but sends with unfailing regularity information concerning its activities to the white press. We serve notice here and now that all Negro churches, schools, clubs and other institutions depending on Negro patronage for the major part By J. E. Mason, Mrakogee, Ohla. There can be no cause too serious, sacred, humane, noble and just but what some fool doesn't mar it by besmirking, throwing stink pots, inuendos, at the Negro. Now, this little upstart from Nebraska, a political peeeye raving for notoriety at the expense of the Negro, has made an attack on the old French Tiger. Just what Hitchcocks intends to get out by his cheap and frantic efforts other than passing notice, no one can tell. It is a custom thru out this country, when a politicianer is short on brains, he breaks into public print by abusing the Negro. Nothing is new or strange about the braying of this ass from Nebraska, but we had hoped he would have had enough national pride to not attempt to committ the whole country to his program of a "fools folly." We hope to see our commercial club get down to business, there is too much levity, fun and folly that permeates that body of business men, it may be alright to galavant thru the rurals on the Sabbath with a brass band, it may be alright to have a game of ball occasionally, it my be alright to put before the public repeated minstrels and invite hilarity, but in doing it precludes it's self from the proper and serious consideration it should end must labor for if it means to get anywhere. We are glad indeed to see the First Baptist, growing in the estimation of the public, this is an institution we all should be proud of with out any feeling of denominational jealousness, the fact that Dr. Johnson has harmonized all contending forces only emphasizes his ability as an executive. Dr. T. M. Green, the Presiding elder of Muskogee District and President of Flipper-Key-Davis College is making quite a record. He is young, brilliant and has all the capacity and is splendid timber for the bishopric The Methodists of Oklahoma and should be proud of this young man. Oklahoma will have something more adequate to offer for the episcopacy It would be supremely great, if the Negroes could consolidate their many secret orders into one great body. Should say, on plan of the K. C. By so doing the race would be more formidable in any program they desired to . . . . . --- won of their support which pass up the anti-Plaindealer for our traditional op-legro pressor will hear from us. We bet we love that the majority of the constituents in the tents of these institutions will sustal teachers in our contention that we ought to normally receive at least equal consideration looked when it comes to things we are able to do. Occasionally the editors of several of the colored papers published in larger cities undertake to be arbiter of what is good and bad of "our people." The Amsterdam News this week is the official arbiter. Aside from lambasting DuBois for not hailing Bandmaster Adams of the U. S Navy, as the conquering hero, it has this to say concerning Harry T. Burleigh and Jazz: "We do not like to disagree with a great man but we cannot agree with Mr. Harry T. Burleigh in the conclusions he draws concerning the jazzing of folk songs in general and the "Deep River" in particular. All things considered the jazzed versions of the folk songs are more uplifting and elevating than pure, unadulterated jazz. The same thing is happening to operas and classics. The present month's release of a large phonograph concern advertise a jazz version of an opera. And, whether we approve of it or not, the desecration will continue. "However we regret to confess it Burleigh's "Deep River" has never received the appreciation among us it should have received. On the other hand. "Dear Old Southland" will be liked by thousands of our people who have never heard of "Deep River." Who knows but that the jazz versions of the folk songs will serve as stepping stones to a wider appreciation of them, and since we are living in the jazz age let us hope that this will be the result." ing a Good Matter ns 45:1 Mrskogee, Ohla. execute. The present system is re- durant, reactionary and fails to con- form to the march of the age. I am not a crep-hanger, pessimist, or too iconoclastic. I am much indifferent to the desire to run myself breathless to catch the wagon of popularity. Proper praise should be given to real worthy people, place or thing, the tendency to be good goody-good has never came into my life. I abhor deceit, duplicity, hypocrisy and the disposition to do just anything to be styled good fellow. The real morals, manhood and Christianity of America is at stake in this anti lynch law, the failure to pass it is an index of the very soul of the country. The laws of any country is the barometer of its morals. The attitude of the Negro or the Republican party to the Negro has come to a show down the failure to safe guard the Negro vote will eventually put the Republicans out of mission. It seems that the Republicans are keeping the faith, that was made in the gentlemen agreement, when they swap the Negro for Hays election. "Old Pete" is having his way in the U. B. F. circle, he has placed my boy, John and buddie Mike at the Orphan home at Boley, one thing sure you must give it to Old Pete, when it comes to making a place for his kind folks. We all know it is one of those nice Methodist tricks in handing the Baptist the "mit." it will work fine until this legion of mental dwarfs awake. France has ever shown her spirit of fair play to the blacks, even in the Trent affairs, she opposed American slavery. The Copper Heads are trying to insult the country because they have a christian heart something America must get. The unnarrish gall, the low breeding, unpatriotic expressions, the toadism, displayed by this veritable monstrosity is a stink in the nose of all decent people. He wants an international reputation by making an attack on one of the great character the world of today has ever had. Psalms 45:1 3 4 5 THE JAZZ AGE --- --- --- Y. M. C. A. ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED WITH BANQUET One of the greatest Events of the present season was celebrated when the Kansas Ave. Y, M, Q, A. held its Anniversary Banquet and Thanksgiving celebration at Metropolitan Hall, Tuesday evening, the 28th. Decorations such as seldom seem al affairs of this kind graced the hall. The food was really delicious and there was plenty of it. After partaking liberally of the "repeat" the large number of feasters sat back and listened to a well gotten up program. One of the unique features of the evening was the music. The Buchan an school orchestra played. It is said that this is the only grade school orchestra in the city. Many congratulations have been received by he secretary for the splendid way in which the event was conducted, and he in turn has passed them on to his coworkers. One of the most striking events of the season was the dinner served by Mrs. Richardson in honor of Mrs. Drain of Guthrie, Kentucky. An elaborate four course dinner was served to the following: Mesdames John Edwards, Angelline Williams, Harding, Jackson, Fanny and Lamberson. BARN BELL TELEPHONE CO.
