THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Young Colored Girl Accuses White Lawyer of Using Her Mother to Take Fortune --- By Nick Chiles Ed Wants My Client, Says Elliha To the Editor of the Capital. I am a Topekan by birth; my reputation has never been questioned until Geraldine Hemmitt, a colored freedman from Oklahoma, discharged Mr. McKeever, attorney of this city, and employed me as her attorney, Mr. McKeever told her, and also stated to me that unless I withdraw from the case, he would disbar me. I am not in the least disturbed about his accusations, as it is simply his wrap. It strikes me that if Mr. McKeever is an busy man he claims with white clients, he certainly would permit me to have one colored client with a little money. She was not worth anywhere near 80,000 when I met her. She makes her home at my house when she is in the city and that iseldum. Mrs. Hemmitt Monroe's mother, Mrs. Charles Hunter makes her home in the garage of Ed McKeever, at all times, ever since he was discharged. I am still Mrs. Hemmitt Monroe's attorney and shall make my defense in Oklahoma the same as I did in California, where Mr. McKeever used Mrs. Hunter, employed Lawyer Campbell, a friend of his and made the same allegations in a similar suit as that filed in Sapulpa, Okla. In that case the paycologists as well as the commission that tried her, pronounced her absolutely normal. There is positively no truth in the charges as published in the Daily Capital, under date of January 4, about the girl being incompetent and a drug addict. It is just the method Ed McKeever is using together with Mrs. Hunter, to drive me from the case. Mr. McKeever is now using the girl in Independence for $1500, for making one trip to Oklahoma while he was her attorney. I took his deposition, January 3, before Miss A. D. Thayer, public geographer in the New England Bldg. He admitted he had only made one trip to Oklahoma and that his services are worth $1500. The case will be tried in the future and Mr. McKeever will be given an opportunity to prove his other charges against me, in the future. "My mother is trying to get hold of my money." Mrs. Geraldine Hemitt Monroe, 19 Creek Freedman (Negro whose ancestors were slaves of Creek Indians) yesterday made this statement, when commenting on the petition of her mother, Mrs. Charlotte Hunter, filed recently in Kapulpa, Okla., asking for the appointment of a guardian for Mrs. Monroe, Mrs. Hunter charges that her daughter St. Joseph, Mt. Jan. 6. A family reunion and Christmas celebration was held here by B. E. McFarland, at which all of his children except two, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence McFarland, Moline Ill. were present. Those who were present follow: Mr. and Mrs. Howard Gamble and three children: Mr. and Mrs. Orville McFarland, Mr. and Mrs. Herschel McFarland, Mr. Carroll McFarland, Mr. Eugene McFarland, Kansas City, Mo. Mr. and Mrs. Paul Enark, at whose house the serving was done. Mrs. Fina Marble of Topeka and Mrs. Cynthia Middleton of White and a sister of Mrs. B. H. M. Patilani, and Miss Farrle, a niece of Matthew, Kansas. All had a glorious time. This was the first time all of them had been together for nineteen years. The greatest servant the grandchildren. It was the happiest time of Mr. McParl- enilla's life. is mentally incompetent to take care of her estate, valued at $80,000. Mrs. Hunter is living in the garage of K. D. McKeever, lawyer, 1814 West Tenth Avenue, while her daughter Hiren at the home of Ellisba Scott, Negro attorney, 1139 Lane street, "Mr. McKeever is mad because I fired him and hired Mr. Scott as my lawyer." Mrs. Monroe added: "He's mad at me too, because he's helping my mother try to get my money." The above shows the cause of slavery and the duplicity of the white race who have used Colored Americans for convenience. In some sections they allow him to feel that he is an American citizen at the same time withholding from him the main proposition of a livelihood. The other sections just the reverse only they rob, cheat, and murder him without the process of the law at the same time. The chief executives and courts pretend to administer the law to all abuses under a flexible constitution whose courts want to suit the convenience of the occasion when it comes to the black man. Now here is a poor woman who would rather live in a white man's garage and fight her own daughter's rights and happiness who is living in the luxurious home of her colored attorney who provides her all the comforts of life; auto to ride in; and associated with a Colored family protecting her rights in court keeping the white robbers from taking her property, which is being done every day in Oklahoma. Thousands of wealthy freedmen are homeless and penniless in Oklahoma by such methods as followed by this girl's mother, who can see nothing but wrong. Mr. Scott says McKerver wants fifteen hundred dollars for one trip. Now everybody knows that is too much money to exact off a poor girl who is just coming into her own and might fyle away any moment as there is no guarantee as to how long this oil will last. The sooner Colored people learn to let the Colored man assist the white man in robbing them the race will have a little more wealth. The white man takes it all and does not see you any more. The Colored man is bound to stay somewhere around. The same thing about the doctors better let the Colored doctor assist in killing you so the family will feel that that both races had a guess at you and sometimes both doctors might agree not to kill you. Nothing like consulting one if you do not take the advice. Lawyer Scott and his client have spoken. They say they have done everything to make Mrs. Hunter happy; gave her money to live on; offered her a home; all this she refuses. Also gave her money to go to California for a visit. She went and gave them trouble and tried to do all she could to throw her daughter into the hands of the white man who cares nothing for them only the money involved. This old lady cannot see it. She would rather live in a white man's barn and fight her daughter. er than be with her daughter in a comfortable home. Slaincy is at the bottom of all this and the devil at the top. Mr. Scott is busy now dinding scololal man whom some white men are trying to beat out of over $30,000,000. It is by doing such service as this to members of his rate that is causing Mr. Scott to enjoy such a large and inexpensive practice. JANUARY 28th—WINDOW SASH DAY AT ST.

Brown, 69, Negro, a resident of Topeka for 40 years, died yesterday morning at a local hospital. He was born in Kentucky and received his education at Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio. He was a teacher in schools in Ohio Mississippi and Kansas. He was elected county clerk of Shawnee county in 1880 and was re elected in 1891. Funeral services will be held at 2:00 o'clock Thursday afternoon at Cowell's North Topeka Chapel. Burial in Topeka cemetery. The body will lie in state from 10 o'clock Thursday morning until 1 o'clock Thursday afternoon. At the time of the Spanish American war he helped organize and was Major of a battalion of the 23d Regiment, which saw active service in Cuba with them. Enwer's brigade. He has for many years conducted a successful fault form on the outskirts of the city. He is survived by his widow, two sons, Chas, B. Brown, California, and Law M. Brown of Topeka, and one daughter, Clairece Tipton, Emporia. The passing of a great man in the death of Col. Jao, M. Brown not only the colored people, both of Kansas and America loses a great man who was faithful and honest to a cause and Race. He was a born leader. He brought things to pass. He had vision and he could see into the dim future. He told the people twenty years ago what would happen and the very prophecies made by him are here and he lived to see many of them. He always advised the Race to acquire real estate, to move around, go to countries where you would be recognized as citizens. Such agitation caused unrest, kept the colored man thinking and moving and the Southern white man thinking how to keep them. He took the light of Liberty to Mississippi after the Civil War. He was Sheriff of Columbia City, Miles, and stood up for human rights. He was colonel of the first colored State militia of Miss., and did much in the days of reconstruction for that state. He came to Kansas and superintended the Jiarracks in North Topeka where thousands of colored men came from the south and had to be cared for by friend- CHETOPA, KANSAS By Mrs. Ulysses R. Smith Pinya's school was the scene of Christmas cheer while the grown ups watched the scholars serenade Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus patiently. The scholars expected their treat. The meeting emerged into a parent-teacher' meeting. Mr. and Mrs. Grisby and children of Pittsburgh, visited their parents. Mr. ly whites who gave money, food and raiment. (bbl. Brown was one of the leaders who saw to their welfare. If it had not have been for him Nanmu would not have had near the colored offiences. He was one of the prrtest orators of his day and could away audience and make hard hearted men weep. He could picture slavery and all of its evils in such a manner that the white people sympathy would go out for the Race. In his day the Kansas white people respected the rights of colored of state, stop in any hotel, drink at any soda fountain, respected by the courts, newspapers were fair to them because Col. Jno, M. Brown demanded fair treatment from the rostrum. He was elected County Clerk for two terms defeating Capt. Fox, a veteran of the Civil War and drew the color line, thinking he being white would be sufficient. In those days candidates were nominated by the convention plan. Col. Brown won and served Shawnee County two terms as County Clerk. Since that time Colored man have succeeded him and a Colored man is now serving. He made it possible for his race to succeed him in political places. He was major of the 23rd Kansas Volunteers who went to Cuba during the Spanish American War and was mustered out with honors. He was the last of the Heroic Race spirit who lived and worked for a Race in Kansas. This young crowd coming out now haven't the brain and patience to study political history or economy. No greater man ever lived than Col. John M. Brown. He was of the Fred Douglas type. The race is not producing any more such men. He bought a farm north of the State Reform School over thirty-five years ago which has grown in value every year since. The state tried to buy it but did not want to pay the price. Some say they thought it was too much money to go into a black man's hands. He held on just the same. This farm is a fine fruit farm. Young colored people should study this great man's life and follow his teachings.

In the th-year of JAM there came to this city from what is now known as Lincoln University, Jefferson City, Mo., a young man in full vigor of manhood, as also a specimen of humanity as one would wish to see; a prominent young man with a bright future before him, said. He took charge as teacher of room No. 2 in the school for our Colored youth. His general good maturand warm heart soon won the love of the pupils, and high respect of the patrons of our school. Being and excellent scholar and a splendid teacher his advancement was naturally very rapid; so in a few years he became principal of our Education school which position he held until a few years prior to his death. He was pre-eminently a teacher in every sense of the word, and spent his life's energies in that direction. He spent very little time in other activities, but it can be truthfully said of him that for two more years he was the leading spirit of educational lines of Springfield and Southwest Missouri. That his life and work were a great success, and a great blessing to the community, is attested by the great ber of graduates sent from Lincoln, most of whom are filling positions of honor and responsibility, or also the heads of happy families. There is not a home in this visuality that has not been touched and influenced by the Master mind of our Prof. W. H. McAdams. Although comrade-like and companion-like, his discipline was almost perfect. He realized that order was Heaven's first law and that no great good could be accomplished without it. No youth dared to prank or play with him, his very presence commanded respect. He was a full life spent energetically in that one direction, that is shaping minds and hearts of the youth in the community; and in spite of all cares and praise, his name shines out today as a bright beacon light, radiant guiding star directing the youth of the land to higher heights of usefulness and influence. From us you have departed But to us joy it shall be. Whenever we think of Lincoln. We shall always think of them. We know we all shall part But our minds it will always be Whenever we think of Lincoln. We shall always think of them. as Marie Clay, Helen Oliver, Stellie Morris, Beatrice Wheaton, and Roberta Clay.

FACTS WORTH KNOWING The home is the cornerstone of our modern civilization. Woman is the center of the home. From the home, emanate the teachings and morals and religion and the things we hold most dear. Anything that tends to destroy the home or diminish its influence is the greatest monster to the fundamental is of our civilization. All wars and revolutions threaten the security and the influence of the home and the protection of women, consequently any movement that advises any kind of violence or disorder should be conducted by all the women of the land, with such as within their power. Woman industry form a new condition in our life. Throughout long ages women have struggled in the relation of employee and employer. This male worker through years of a test has clearly defined his position, has definitely established his standard of wages. The woman in industry is without this protection they have demonstrated that they are entitled to equal pay but in many cases it has been found difficult to establish this standard. Because of these problems mothers have been torn from the life of from their children to strive in tool and furnish of industry. While their little ones strive in share and disgrace—trying to heaven for and. No matter what position woman may occupy there is none so great as mother in home. Let reverence for the laws be borne in by every American mother to the loving hobe that pattles in her 'apet let it be taught in the schools, in some cases and in colleges; let it be written in primary, spelling books, and alumnates; let it be proclaimed from the pulpit, proclaimed in the legislative halls, and enforced in the courts of justice. —Lincoln Woman Made Assistant City Prosecutor (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill.-Miss Violette N.

Our diet fans are endeavoring to train us to appreciate and use more raisins as they are so rich in iron and a good heat and energy producer. The grape sugar found in raisins is perhaps the most easily digested of any sugar; requiring little change before it is assimilated and made into good red blood. The raisin is a good scavenger, a muscle and flesh producer and when milk mustard is easily digested by the average stomach. The laver tainis are the choice in the market and many cooks prefer them seeding them at home rather than to buy the seeded or seedless however, one may find very good brands of the seeded tainis which have delicious flavor. A handful of tainis added to a fruit salad gives just a touch of flavor that is found in no other fruit or juice for sale mixed with nuts or other kinds of fruit such as figs, dates, prunes or the shelled applets and perhaps one may have an endless variety of good things. Sweet Riftain Bradad- Take one quint of milk, two table-powderfuls of lard and sugar, one tea-powderful of salt. The yolks of five eggs, a cake of curried yeast. Two pounts of tallow and half ounce of spices four to make a mixture to knead. Prepare and brine inal. When cold cover with a thin coating of powdered sugar and water. Raisin Confection for the Christmas Box Put a pouch of milk then the most grinder with a cupful of any desired nuts, or a mixture of whisky, bickery nuts and almonds or meats, and a pinch of salt, the juice and rind of an orange, or nuts with a lemon in stand of the orange, then mix until rather stiff with confectioner's sugar pack into a waxed paper-lined tin box, press until firm and not away to become hard. When firm cut in slicer, dip in fondant or chocolate or wrap in waxed paper and serve real. Such candy cannot hurt the children and is good for them, eaten moderately.

That Tapakans are not the only ones who seem to be asleep insofar as the rights are concerned is well-defined by the following editorial round in the Cleveland Ohio Gazette: SLOWLY DYING OF DRY ROT The Gazette is informed by one of the leading members of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. that there were only thirty members at its recent annual meeting at Mt. Tong Congressional Club and that President Wm. R. Brown was elected. The local organization is in a very bad way to quote our information. This does not surprise us in the best for any leadership that presents an organization from taking action in a case like that of the Wm. R. Brown Wm. Taylor, son & Co., is not calculated to create interest, to any nothing of enthusiasm, in any organization work for the race. This is to be greatly respected because there is very much doubt to be done and the possibilities are so great for the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. if only properly led. We cannot for the life of us understand President Green's refusal to lead his organization in a flight to that store for its refusal to permit it to try on a hat when he went there to purchase one, some works ago. It may so much to our people of this community. For if that store is not permitted to continue an discontinuity, it will not be long before other stores in Cleveland will emulate their example and our people of this city all know what that will mean to them in many ways.

THE BEACON LIGHT The National Association for the Admendment of Colored People, better known to us common folks as the N. A. C. P., could be very useful in any community where there are Negroes in an appreciable number, if those persons to whom its activities are intrusted, would only try to carry out the purposes of the organization as its name suggests. Unfortunately, however, this great organization usually seems nearest to being dead than any other civil organization in many cities. As a general rule, the only time one hears of the N. A. A. C. P. is when one of the National officers visits the local chapter or branch if you please, and then neatly all of the high lights of society turn out and assume the leadership of the race for the time being, but as soon as Mr. Nationally known Man leaves one hour no more of the N. A. A. C. P., until another celebrity comes. That has been the condition obtaining in branches of which we have been a member and which have come under our observation. Now it seems on the surface that Topeka, so far as the N. A. A. C. P. is concerned, is running true to form. In us follows who can't understand half theunch announcements although we hear them, the N. A. A. C. P. seems to be dead, the chilling demand of one very attractive young lady, "that the N. A. A. C. P. meets with chick like regularly," notwithstanding. The rest of us who pay our dues and subscribe to the Crisis each year would also like to tell the meeting of the local branch and hear what is going on, and if we can't attend the meetings, we would like to read about them. But we can't attend unless we know when the meetings are to be and since the local branch ignores newspapers altogether, it seems that we shall never know of an N. A. A. C. P. meeting until it shall have been over for months and we shall even have to foreign the pleasure of spending some of our winter hours reading about them at your light shone through mediums provided for that purpose (news-paper) and the public will not think you are shud. One of our good Topeka friends told us quite confidentially, after reading one of our caustic comments on something we did not like, that we ought to be careful about criticising Topeka per- Never in the criminal history of this section of the country has there been more inhuman, bloodthirsty and atrocious murder an war in the case of young Ragdale. Absolutely innocent but a victim of hate stimulated by a Negro woman's gossip that this boy knew into the whereabouts of Glass who killed the officer. With the highest regard for our women, there is an element who has been too often the cause of needless blood-shed. The Houston shot, the trouble at Atlanta, the massacre in Arkansas oil fields; the Bhutan driveout; and indirectly the Louisiana martyrs, can be traced to these horrors. Proof. Kelly Miller has issued a call for a national meeting to take stock of our condition. This is a great call and should be encouraged. We have attempted to fool ourselves as our real success. No trace can sneak in a republic without the ballot. We are willing votions of a campaign of desert. It matters not the amount of education, money, property and material wealth we may have without the ballot there can be no concern the citizenship. Our greatest weakness is betrayed in our contentment with the white guardian. Real proud, sensible, and self-respecting people would right to the end of the law. The law is on the side of the Negroes but we are too happy and contented to make a feasible opposition. Muskogee only needs two churches. The others should be sold, converted into hospitals, libraries, day nurseries, and retreats for old folks and other unfortunate. All this Baptist and Methodist system is a damnable inheritance from the white man, who is incompetent of talking the doctrine of "the fatherland of trial and the brotherhood of man." Yet we spend millions annually to foster a creed that has no relentless rating. Ignorance will never control the intelligent. The Walton branch will fail for ward of political condition, expo- By J. E. Mason By Geo. C. Anderson ple because we haven't been here long enough. She said that such carrying on would cause us to be outraged from polite society. We replied that we felt it to be one of our inalienable rights as a true born American citizen and an adopted Kansan to protest against any condition which obtained among things to which we had given our support. For instance we went to a charity tea one Sunday afternoon and the following week we saw in the paper that "several ladies called." Now what man wouldn't protest against being called a lady? Several other gentlemen were there almo- Texas has no use for the N. A. A. P., and white Texans have no use for Colored people who are known to be connected with that organization, to judge from the open letter addressed by the mayor of Houston to Mr. O. P. DeWalt, a Negro business man of that city and president of the Houston letter the Mayor houses Mr. DeWalt branch, of the N. A. A. C.P. In the not having contributed anything to his community but of supporting an outside organization that is musical to the best interests of the race and Houston. We don't know what the facts at last we are all the way for Mr. DeWalt. Any time a white man in Texas says a Negro is no good, investigation always shows that Negro to be a prince among his fellows and we know personally that this is true in the case of Mr. DeWalt. Just to show thru all that all of the Colored people of this country are by no means in accord with the policies of the N. A. A. C. P. The Atlanta Independent devotes nearly a whole page to an attack by a Negro writer on the Association. We wonder if Bio. Davis isn't attempting to show the officers of that organization that there are a lot Negroes who need education along N. A. C. P. lines and that *#* could have been spent to better advantage among Negro Newspapers? The young body next door said she don't care if white dentists did advertise that they don't want Colored patients, she just can't use Colored professional men because they don't know enough. We thought banks had killed all the fools in the cattle scheme; now they are falling for the "automatic freight box." May I ask for that pass of the scripture that demands my giving to a beginn- church system my hard earnings? In what chapter can I find the command to pay preachers? I am begging for in- novent information, don't hand me that rognish Jacob stuff. It was he who stole his Indian brother's birthright. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is indeed a most wonderful organization but to lose more time and money with an Antifascist bill is the same of foolishness; the truth of the matter is before the ink was dry on its composition, the South had found a new way to kill Negroes and escape its penalty. The thing we need most in the ballot, if we can't get it we should quit "kidding ourselves" and hunt another country, say Mexico. Agreat many of our ministers are uttering with female troubles. This is the cause of much of this church commotion. It is an hard to get rid of one of those follows when they contract this peculiar complaint, as it is to get rid of a bunch of naval chigues. Quite a number of our would be lead ors are spending their heads about the coming of the C. M. E. General Conference in 1926. I am betting a peek of turnips that by that time, common decency, racial and ecclesiastical respect will preclude this body coming south. Those who are drunk with commercial greed seem to forget that self respecting people resist dragging the silk garment of dignity in the southern plains of rural hatred. In fast sensible Negroes have now turned their faces toward the north, Mexico, Africa or South America. There is something much more noble than grabbing money under degrading conditions. The move to weaken Negro schools by short terms, poor facilities, underpaid teachers and a general discouragement of Negro education. In some southern states they do it by giving Negroes beautiful school houses, ignorant teachers, few books and from three to four --- ERN BELL TELEPHONE CO.
