THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Lukewarm Republicans Allow Democrats to Kill Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill By Nick Chiles The Republican party allowed the Democrat party to talk the Dyer Antllynch Bill to death as they did the Force Bill thirty years ago. Any means are introduced in Congress that tends to place the Colored citizens on equality before the law in these United States has met similar defeats and always by the supposed friends of law and order. The Civil Rights Bill which was intended to give every citizen the same rights was passed by Congress then in control of both houses of Congress and a Republican Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional and said the states only had such power. Afterwards New York Ohio and Illinois passed an iron clad law while Kansas and a few others passed makehift laws which have but little force. Then came James Blaine of Maine and Roscoe Conkling of New York who attempted to put through the Force Bill which have guaranteed every citizen the right to vote and have it counted. This was talked to death. Now the Dyer Bill which was meant to stop the mobbing and burning of citizens has met the same fate. The Colored people were interceded in this bill because the Southern or Rebellious states were allowing these British crimes to be committed upon Colored people without even hinting at stopping them and for the most frivolous offenses charged. The southern white man is still rebel at heart. He is just as much against the government as Jeff Davis was. They are sore and disgruntled over the loss of their slaves today. What Grant failed to do to Lea at Appomattox and what the marryred Lincoln failed to do in his proclamation is the cause of all of this trouble today. Every rebel's land as well as his slaves should have been confiscated and his should have been disfranchised for fifteen years. Had this been done they never would have been a wild and blood thirsty. Now these same fellows and their descendants have all the say dictating the policy of the government; trying to destroy the manhood of a truer NEW COMPANY ENTERS MOVIE FIELD McPall Film Productions Are Producing Pictures St. Louis, Mo. November 10.—McFall Productions is the latest film company to join the ranks of colored producers McFall Film Productions besides having an able staff of actors boasts one of the most talented technical staffs in the country and the pictures turned out by them should mark epops in colored comedy production. No less a person than Kim Kimani, versatile and beautiful erole actress featured over the T. O. B. A. vaudeville circuit is being starred in the comedies produced by the new cinema firm. Among the actors used in the current films are Byron Smith, Dorothy White, skilled toe dancer, Frank Brown, well known as a college athlete, "Fatty" Johnson, the Johnny Hines of colored screendom and Leverta Mae and Guy Lee McFall who have the juvenile parts. S. Brunell McFall is director, Willard Thoraton, well known scenarist, inescenario editor and Jimmy Parks is art director. The first production, "Why Worry?" will be ready for distribution December first. "Why Worry!" will cost over five thousand dollars to produce which will mark a highwater mark for expense for colored comedy production. A new and modern studio in which colored office force, actors, cameramen, directors and artists will be employed throut will be opened during the early months of 1923. The company is going to great expense in securing the best possible scenarios by colored writers and authors. During 1923 eight comedies along the lines of "Why Worry." FORUM "ORIGINAL COMPOSI- TION DAY" HELD SUNDAY Although Secretary Green of the "Y" and President Raxter of the Forum was absent Sunday the Forum had a large crowd. The concluding of original compositions, musical, Postliteral, prose and oratorical were thoroughly enjoyed by everybody present. Miss Green, Vive President, assisted by Mrs Hooker officiated a manner which delighted the audience. For this Sunday a very good program has been announced and a large crowd Editor Chiles Finds That Oklahoma Negroes Are "Up and Coming Along" By Nick Chiles and better people than ever lived. Laws are being passed to regulate the farmer, the laborer, the railroads, the capitalist and even regulating the morals of the country by passing the prohibition amendment to the constitution. The Supreme Court sustained every question raised in favor of the law and yet when similar questions are raised which tend to give the Colored people the same rights as it does the Mexican, and the Indian or any foreigner, it is voted down. The Jim Crow car law is forced on the Colored people so far as the interstate commerce is concerned and yet Colored people are asked to change cars on the same interstate train going into and through states that have Jim Crow car laws. This silllegal but colored passengers have to suffer these indignities, whilst all other nationalities are undisturbed and yet these white people know it is unlawful. They make the law to apply to a Colored person to suit their convenience. Such men as Senator Underwood who was instrumental in killing the Dyer Anti-lynch bill assisted by the weak-kneed Republicans are the causes of all such crimes as this which the Dyer bill is designed to present. We are proud to learn that he is soon to retire. The Christian white people do not need him to represent them anywhere. We know one thing. He will pass from earth a deprived man by the Colored people of America. We suppose his ancestors were slaveholders and if the same rule affects them as other ancestors he must have Colored relatives and a man who carries hate for his own blood is worse than an infidel. Fifty years from now all such men as Senator Underwood and his ilk will bein oblivion and the man who is down will yet be the corner stone. We are grateful to the few Republicans who stood so feebly by the bill. We hope the Lord will yet stiffen their griefless bones and yet make them firmer in the cause of righteousness. VINITA Our first stop was at Vinita, Oklahoma. We stopped at the Rider Hotel Mr. and Mrs. Rider are the proprietors They also own a hall for Colored lodges and entertainments. Doctor L. T. Ryne is the leading physician of the town. He owns several houses. He is a great race man, high class Christian gentleman. He takes an active part in church work and on public matter pertaining to the race. He is a graduate from Manhattan College, class of 1913. Mrs. T. H.

Tomilin, President of the District Central Convention is now engaged with a hardware company. He owns nice property and is doing fine. He is very active in church work. Mr. D. Henry who is employed in one of the leading hotels in the city, is a widower and some good woman can make a hit if she will get in touch with him.

Hudley is an industrious young minister and will soon be signed to a district church by Bishop Parks. We hear that his wife is very sick and we hope she has recovered. The Davis' Bros. have purchased a two story pressed brick front at 143 South Wilson, right in the main business portion of the town. They also conduct a barter shop in that building. This is what counts when you buy your property so that no one can move on it. WAGONER Wagoner, Oklahoma we stopped awhile and we must say that most of our subscribers were ready to pay and all that Atty. Bradshaw Testing Equal Rights Law By Nick Chiles Attorney William M. Bradshaw, one of Topeka's and Kansas' young attorneys is making good—a fourless and tireless fighter. He is now testing the Kansas Equal Rights laws o see if they mean anything. He won the ten thousand dollar suit against a white man in Hutchinson, Kansas a short time ago, and also a ten M. thousand dollar land cure at Jetmore, Kansas. He is also handling a very large suit for Indian woman in Oklahoma involving several thousand acres of land on which there is said to be oil and gas, and which involve several hundred thousand dollars.

We are proud to say that the Colored people through out Oklahoma are much pleased with the Plaindcaler and the antitotal column which fights the battle for right. 'Wagoner is an agricultural center and there are one hundred colored people in this town who are good farmers. We are under many obligations to Dr. W. Hobson, who devoted his time and machine in taking us around town and also in the country. He is a fine gentleman and physician and if the citizens of Wagoner do not wake up they will loose him. He is honest upright dignified gentlemen whose word can be relied upon. He has a very fine wife and also two children. She is a great race woman and the women of that town love her for the great work she is doing there, for the advancement of her sex and the race. There are two or three groceries, a restaurant and a blacksmith. Mr. W. P. Cunningham is a great race man, owner of a grocery store and is doing a fine business. Honorable S. T.

Mr. Albert is a prosperous farmer, he is owner of 320 acres of land, also cattle, hogs and horses. The only objection we have of that community is the poor white people who are holding office will not let the colored people register on they cannot vote. But we hope that under the Walton Administration that every tax payer and citizen will be allow- ed to vote. Our next stop was at Vian and we find here, several colored farmers who are progressing, but suffering from the effects of the Toll Wewil.

This was history making gathering in more ways that seems possible. It was the first time I the history of the Association that the matter of Railroad rates was successfully handled and a rate granted. The matter of reduced rates and a special train and all the advertising in connection with the special from Topeka was the work of a special committee composed of U. A. Graham, chairman assisted by Sirs, II. I. Monroe, A. J. Payne, Green Scales, Pete Robertsand W. M. Bradshaw. We shall have more to say about this committee later on. Now let us tell you about that great Conclave. One feature of this Conclave never to be forgotten was that all people who availed themselves to reduced rates on this occasion had to have their certificates validated by Sir P. W. Thompson, a race man thank you. Just think of it and let us tell you Sir Thompson was on the job every minute and handled the business like a veteran. After special trains, regular train and Interurban Lines brought their many visitors to their city for the 25th Annual Conclave, the Fraters of Northwestern Commandary had to admit that they were entirely swamp but happily so willing to go the full limit of their obligations in entertaining their visiting Fraters and friends At one o'clock there was a short business meeting called by Sir A. J Payne of Topeka, Kansas president of the Association. At this meeting several very important matters were decided on that will have a decided bearing on future Conclaves. The matter of membership cards was adopted an recommended by the president and five-hundred cards were placed in the hands of Sir J. W. Bowers, 921 Mississippi Street. Lawrence Kansas, who is the Secretary of the Association. The-President is asking all secretaries of Commandara that are members of the Association or those who wish to be members to write to Sir Bowers for full particulars. The matter of adopting new rules governing all contest drills was referred back to the Interstate Committee. Immediately after the short business meeting the Knights were taken to the different churches and restaurants, where a special dinner for visitors had been arranged for. Promptly at three-thirty all Sir Knights in full dress were called for parade, and such a parade s will live long in the memory of spectators as well as Fraters headed by Passion NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION TO MEET.

W Clark of Lawrence, Kansas followed by Cyrene Commandary of Topeka Kansas, North Western Commandar of St. Joseph, Mo., Mount Orled Commandary of Lawrence, Kansas, Atchison Commandary of Atchison, Kansas, Mid West Commandary of Kansas City, Kansas Argentine Commandary of Argentine. Let us go back a little in our story; and tell another very pleasing feature of this session Jackson's Famous 23rd Rgt. Band. This wonderful organization led the second division of the Grad Street parade, and they did themselves proud in every way possible. In the afternoon the Band gave a concert that will long be remembered by those who heard it. Band Master Jackson was given great ovation at the evening entertainment and by request directed Passio Cross Pand of Leavenworth in three numbers. The Banquet was one never to be forgotten, "The Toastmaster Sir Wrir H. Jones" of North Western Command was all that the name implies The welcome address by Sir F. F. Neil was a master piece of oratory delivered by a master of the art. The response by Sir A. J. Payne, President of the Association seemed to have been the opening gun for the most remarkable group of speeches ever heard at a conclave and the climax was reached in Sir H. I. Monroe's talk on the subjet, The Templars Reward. The Right Reverend Blahop Parks a former member of the Association was present by special invitation, and held the Sirs spell bound while telling of the progress and possi bilities of the Association. Very pleasing talks were made by Sirs, Dennis Jones of Leayenworth Rev. N. T. Walker of St. Joseph Thomas Calep of Lawrence, C. Taylor of Atchison, Rev. G. F. Martin of St. Josephand Sir W. A. Jones of Kansa City, Kansas. Sir George Johnson past President of the Association was present and assured the Sirs of his loyalty to the Association. Most every Conclave has some unusual feature but it remained for the 25th Annual Conclave to set a new proceedent. First, ther was Railway officials at Headquarters to see about Special Trains, Street Railway officials to a range for special car services, and special invitation given to Geo. W. Jackson famous Bandmaster to attend the Knight Templar Banquet. The competitive Drill at night was one of the most hotly contested affairs of recent times and ended in a draw between Atchison Commandary No. and Passion Cross Commandary No. of Leaveworth. The prize to be given will be decided by the Interstate Committee later. The Inerstate Committee has not yet decided where their next Conclav will be held, but sentiment seems to be in favor of either Lawrence or Atchison. The National Baptist convention is the largest Negro organization in America, and they have planned a program for the future. Some of the most noted men and women of America will attend the meeting College, Presidents, editors, doctors, lawyers prominent ministers andynen. They are working for the betterment of their people all over the country. The Sunday School Publishing Board Dr. A. M. Townsend, secretaries are now constructing a new building to cost three hunder thousand dollars. Report will be made at the convention next week. The press headquarters of the convention headed by Charles Stewart will be at Porshe College. CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH A large crowd witnessed the Commun ion services Sunday morning.

Earline Osborne Dramatic Reader Thrills Topeka With Readings Topeka was given an unusual brand Monday evening, December 4th, at Mr. Olive Methodist Episcopal Church, when Madame Osborne Dramatic Artist of Hammes City, Missouri, appeared in reaital Mime. Osborne is widely known through out the middle west as the greatest promoter and reader of this section. Topeka considers her the best that has ever appeared here. Her interpretation of master pieces are wonderful, in portraying "Samson" the two scenes from "Queen Esther," "The Quarrel scene between Brutus and Cassius" and her humorous selections, she simply loses herself and you see vividly the characters being portrayed. She conducts a study of Expression, Dramatic Art and Pantomime in Kansas City, Missouri; her pupils are considered the best in that profession, always drawing large audiences when they appear. Mino, Ouborne has appeared in many large cities, always before large and appreciative audiences who ask for her return. She has a wonderful personality, highly cultured and very pleasing to meet. This makes her at once popular on entertaining a community. She was given as support, the best musical talent of the city. Mizha Scott was master of ceremonies and as we all know, there is none better in that line than Lawyer Scott. The Smash Fo Glee Club appeared in two numbers; they carried the audience. Mrs. Isabel Walker was at her best in the vocal selection also Mrs. Edna Burton. The Hawaiian Guitar nobile by Miss Minnetawa Overstreet, accompanied by her brother Hollyondo Overstreet was indeed a treat. Mins Overstreet proved a gifted artist in Hawaiian music. Mins Toborne expressed herself as being delighted with her musical support and with the large appreciative audience which was quiet spell bound through out her recital, giving demonstration of their appreciation at the close of each number. Mt. Olive Church extends to her a standing invitation to come again. ATTENTION COLORED VETERANS Dear Mr. Editors: As you have always been ready and willing to espouse the cause of everything that tends to enlighten or develop the citizens of this country, we are writing to ask if you will use the columns of your excellent journal to aid in spreading the following information of vital importance to the colored servicemen of the United States who have disabilities incurred, aggregated or incursed by service in the war. When Congress passed the "Sweet Bill" making possible the U. S. Veterans' Bureau and its work of rehabilitation through vocational training, December 10, 1822, was named as a limiting date for the filing of applications for vocational training. The opportunity for filing a claim for vocational training will be gone after that time, unless there is within the Bureau a communication of some description setting forth the claim on or before the above mentioned date. In making this contribution through the divulgence of this information you will help in solving the economic problems of our race at least fifty per centor, in other words, if this opportunity is lost to our race it will mean our falling behind many years in our effort to advance in the economic world. We feel that we may depend upon you and, also, that we express the sentiment of the 12,000,000 Negroes of our country when we thank you kindly in advance for such efforts as you may kind our request. Very sincerely yours, J. R. A. Crossland, Charge of Colored Trainees. APTUR SMILES MENPS THAT OKLAMOA NEWORDS ARE "UP AND COMING Continued from page one mn.

DROWN IN TEXAS The Houston Informer, for the week of November 18th, has long editorial anent the extravagance of the Colored youth. The whole editorial is based upon the fact that, a young man of doubtful means had paid $30.00, for a sweater. Of course all of us are aware of the fact that a great many of our people spend more for showy clothes than white people who are far more wealthy. The Informer says in part, "We were sitting in the barber shop, a few days ago, waiting to get a shave, when a young colored man passed through the shop with a loud sweater on, and when he made his exit, conversation was rife regarding the price of the sweater this young fellow wore. "The bootblack, who had seen them advertised in a certain show-window and who had been casting a-wishful eye at them, knew off the reel that it (one little purple and white sweater) cos he wearer. THIRTY DOLLARS, Thirsty kops!" "Think of it! Here was a colored youth—barely out of his 'teens, earning less than $20 per week, with no home and scarcely any other physical belongings—paying such a huge sum for a sweater, not that it accords him any more comfort than a less prestigious article, but merely to sport around town and tell people how much his sweater cost or have his friends "blabber" it. "You will pardon our common vexcular, but if this is not downright 'damphool' extravagance, then we have missed our guess. "Colored boot-blacks, bell-hops and other menials try to dress like white barkers and capitalists, while colored cooks, maids and washer-women try to outdress the wives of, some of the richest white families. "We are not trying, to dissuade our people wearing good clothes, for cheap clothes are an eating cancer on any person's purse; but we should all dress in keeping with our earning capacity." "It is utter folly for a boot-black or unkilled laborer, to buy a $60 suit of My Heart is Inditing a Good Matter By J. E. Mason, Mrikogee, Okla. The most disgusting incident this community has ever witnessed, was the load of church members taken to the police station here a few Sundays ago. The membership of the Papalel Baptist church and their pastor has a big church fuss as the results the element who was with the pastor has the other bunch arrested. It is the kind of conduct by our church goers, that creates contempt in the mind of people who are really seriously about the elevation of souls. The dispute in Congress over the Anti-lynch bill serves to convince many of our people who are the real political friends. Nowhere in the political history of this country has the Democrats passed a law for the promotion of Negroes. The whites of this city came to the church sense long enough to have all the protestant churches to unite in one service on Thanksgiving Day, it is disgusting to note what fools they have made of themselves over religious matter. It is they who caused the Negro to be such a Church-ass. These Channel mouth southern preachers, who strutted around St. Louis never mentioned the peonage conditions of the south in which thousands of Negroes are being re-enslaved. No, they prefer to go back and lie about the North to satisfy the white landlords. In many cases the Land Lords paid their way to the convention. There are many places in the southern plantations where no Negro is allowed to go in and out but the preacher unless he has a pass. Men and women travelling in some parts of the south are deceived into these peac farms and never allowed to escay. It is all over now, what good come out of the "Big Baptist Murrah" at St. Louis. The Methodist had their mind --- . . . . clothes $14 pair of shoes, $10 shirt, $3 socks $5 suit, dslk underwear, $15 high roller hat, $5 cravat and then have no place that he can call his home after his deyn, work is over. you point-blank, that they work for you point blank, hat they work, for their money, earn it and spend it as they desire; that it is nobody's business, etc. "But it is somebody's business beside the extravagant and ruthless spender and good-timer, for in proportion as a man spends more than he earns, like manner does he become more and more a ward of society, a criminal and social liability." "The informer blames the condition of affairs on the parents and closes by adding that these same young man of today being the leader of tomorrow, steps should be taken to turn them into the path of knowledge. Down in Houston, also our old, friend, D.P. DeWalt proprietor of the beautiful Lincoln Theatre and one of the substantial citizens of the city has given notice to the ungrateful, white merchants of that city to the effect that he will use every influence in his power to relieve them of their burdensome Negro trade. This action was taken when white merchants advertised that Colored help was no longer to be used. Mr. DeWalt is a real leader. All of our out-of-town, visitors are invited to visit the Plaindealer office and get aquainted with the West's greatest weekly. Don't ignore your best friend. It isn't always that our old acquaintance slight us. Occasionally we are most agreeably surprised to look up and see some one whom we had lost night of. The surprises are always pleasant and bring back many happy memories: Today we were more than pleased when, after having just finished causing a balky press, we looked up and aped Mrs. P Earline Osborne, wife of the Rev. W. T. Osborne, of Kansas City, Mo, and a dramatic reader and director of considerable repute. It was always a pleasure to us watch Mrs. Osborne directing her Pupils and to listen to her in recital. You can imagine what a pleasure it was to look up and see her this morning when we any real help that will elevate its conditions, it is nothing less than an unply display of denominational selfishness. They are making a pretention of getting together the whole matter is a farce, so was the Methodist blue abo unliting. The Methodist betrayed their hands in the election of more Bishops, the Baptist will make a feeble attempt and then pass the word down the line, that after careful consideration, prayerful o fcourse, they find that the best interested of all can be best conserved by he perpetuation of both bodies. No, Harry, son, neither the Methodist conference nor the Baptist convention donated any money in the fight to have the Anti-lynch bill pass, the amount they gave only paid the agents way back o N. Y. You see son his body is composed of ministers, who like a sponge, take's in but never gives out. I am to take a course in delectable adjectives, the juicy fruit variety, the kind the bunch like. I must style every Grease shop, a Cafe, every dirty dive, a Haven of joy, every dope, jick and corn-whitekey, dispenser, our leading drugrist. The bunch that carols all night with the other fellow's wife. Our distinguished cither. When I do that, I am to receive copious praise, perfumed compliment and "honey from the comb" as far away places as Cherokes and Manhattan, Kansas, part of whose citizenry have become despaired trying to find out, who is Mason, as though I was their daddy. Spencer Chapel, is now getting in good shape for building much interest is being manifested, money is being raised to have the building completed by spring. Like all Negro church goers, they too, want the best, $81,000.00 is to be invested in a church. I am too fuggy to become enthusiastic Gallow. No. Pealms 45:1 In planning the course of the Negro property before the world, that Negro welfare in the southern gallery, in expressing the deep names of approbation, that commission, that gave the menace a bunch of roses and the gold of approval in St. Luke, did more than all the windy confessions, convictions and Negro church encounters that have been had this year, Truth, Lord. I have just heard the closing argument in the big church scandal of the Raphiel Baptist Church. It was the most sordid mess one can hear outside of the brothel. After all gab and gibber, the question of raps entered. I do believe that Rev. Anderson attempted to rape the girl. It came at a rather late hour to get the endorsement of public sentiment. It was one of the old fashion church church fights, where a certain bunch tried to unhonor the pastor. This pastor should resign for the best of all concern, when a large minority get against a preacher or teacher their influence is neglected. Some way must be found to put a stop to this every National Church meeting in which the welfare of the Negroes are flittered away for denominational expediency and selfishness. It has become the most boorish, offensive, grafting and extravagant body on earth. The Negro ministry has become arrogant, domineering and force the less informed to rally to his flag of deception, bigotry and sectarian whims.

An old, old lady came in my office a few days with a mack of pearls, getting fronds to help, get my parson a new sort of clothes to back good as the real of um. The very foot that the system is clothed not in parrots, prevent many of us from making the proper investigation. We must be christians, but we must not permit this garrulous element to paralyzed other agencies that they may carry out their plans of disipation. A southern Negroes ability to lead effectively is stopped by the conditions in the south. On promotion to high, places 2 leadership, it should be done with the understanding, that he must at once leave the south. The case of E. C. Morris, Bishop Conner and the head of the K. of P, who resides in La., are evidences and justification of my contention. I can not bring myself to believe that the Republicans made a serious fight for the Dyer anti-lynch bill, they only made a feeble attempt to appease the many Negro voters. Yet we can not go off at the Democrat. Our relief is in the formation of a third party, that will give to the American Negro a greater freedom. We are for the welfare, progress and upbuilding of Mukogee, we know just where to make criticism, the imported preachers who come here and fails to make an attack on South Second Street, do more harm to the Negro enterprises than all agencies combined. Many of our sweet women feel it a disgrace to come down in the Negro business district. They get their opinions from the pulpit.
