THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Hon. Earl Akers Requested to Run for Office of Mayor Prominent Topekan Agrees to Run if He Gets the Support of the Better Class of Citizens. TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR NUMBER THREE Hon. Earl Akers to Run for Off Prominent Topekan Agrees Support of the Better C The voters of Topeka will be called upon next April to elect a Mayor, Mr. Earl Akers, a very prominent business man and a Christian Gentleman has been urged by the progressive and law abiding element to be a candidate. He has accepted with the understanding that he only seeks the support of the good and law abiding citizens. This means that he wants the support of the poorest and humblest citizens as well as the wealthiest and most highly cultural. Society stands for a clean city. Topeka is moving out of the "Old Home Town" gait and now putting on Metropolitan air. She needs a wide awake business man like Mr. Akers to guide her now fast step. Topeka is growing; thousands of dollars worth of improvements are now going on. We need a man who can keep hot capital and labor moving hand in hand, all singin "A greater Topeka." No more strife or hickering between contractors and unions. Both factions are realizing that what is good for one is good for the other. A decent wage and a decent home to live in for the wage owner and a fair return on the investment of the capitalist who gave employment and who has rights as well as others. Mr. Akers came from the farm and knows the hardships of the working man and can sympathize with him and he has been associated with the capitalists and knows what they are entitled to. He is now in the business world and knows what it takes to make a city. We can try him for two years; if he fails to measure up, try another; if he fumbles on the job, he can be custod at once, so we have nothing to fear. This can be said in his favor. He has been identified with various businesses and occupations which fit Says Washington Street Is Topeka's Best Section By D. D. Hope Sir, Nick Chiles, Editor, The Toppea Phildeader. Dear Sir and Friends. It has been a long time since I have said anything through your paper but I am proud to say that I live on one of the best paved streets in Topeka—Washington street. You West Side people will change your minds this summer when you cast your eyes on our street from 10th to 15th streets. You will see some of the finest lawns and blue grass yards in the city. We are going to forget the price of paints and one who can have the finest house on that street and you people who live on the West side will have to sit up and take notice. We are not going to move to get out of "mud town" as you West Side people call it. When you West Side people come over on Washington street you will have to go to the back to see who lives there. Paint and pride will make my home look like anyone else's house. We are not going to start a race war but we are going to start race pride and tell our next door neighbor to do the same. Our homes are just what we make them. I was raised in a log house but you cannot put me back there now. We started the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute on Washington street in a 2 room log house but you see where it stands now. A city setting on a hill that cannot be hidden but gives light that the world of mankind can stand and point his index finger upwards and say "Father who art in Heaven, why should I be proud of Washington street when I can stand and see so many good boys and girls keeping the fruits from little K. I. E. I. east of Topeka, a city on the hill that cannot be hidden. I am proud of this school and also proud of the foundation of the log house on 13th and Washington streets. Coterie Celebrates Emancipation at Shiloh Sunday Our pastor, Rev. R. J. Williams. Today spreaded from Deut. 33:23, subject in in Our Daily Rate for Every Day." Heery brought out the fact that man lives hand one day at a time and that as the opposite physical body must be supplied daily job with food for its sustenance so must days him for the job if experience counts for anything. He served in the Governor's office as Parole Officer, came in contact with hundred and hundreds of criminals; State Treasury where he handled millions of state money; president of the Reserve Bank where he came in contact with thousands of patrons of that bank; elected member of the school board where he now lays and supplies the needs of thousands of school children by supplying them with good teachers, good school facilities where all children are carefully looked after and Mr. Akers has used all his energy and influence to see that the patrons of the schools get all that is due them from the tax payers. He is now the President of the Powell Understaking Business, one of the largest in the West. All of these accomplishments should guarantee the voters that he at least could start out right as Mayor. We have nothing against Mayor Corwin who we supported twice. He is now serving his second term, made an excellent Mayor, a fine Christian Gentleman but he has done all he can do for Topeka so we hope he will stop and seek some other field of labor. His friends will help him find something better or as good. We advise him to stay out of the race and keep his high standing with the whole country. If he runs he will be ignominiously defeated and that would reflect upon his future standing for political preferment. While Mr. Akowa would have some opposition he is popular with the masses. Every school child will have their parents to vote for him. Can't beat him with a north wind. REV. J. J. WATSON MAKES IMPROVEMENTS ON CHURCH Rev. J. J. Watson, pastor of Brown Chapel on Washington street, is making great improvements for his church by beautifying the lawn with flowers and blue grass. He built a fine bungalow for a parsonage. Now he wants a church to compare with the parsonage and boulevard. He is doing great work for the people on that side of the town. He wants a community center and a day nursery for the people. He wants to use the old church for social purposes. He raised almost four thousand dollars last year. He is looking out for a rainy day. He owns rental property in Iola and Chanute and recently purchased another piece of surburban property in Iola. He believes in progressive men and men praises it to his congregations. He says he is one of the best people who are industrious. His WY is one of the leading church workers of the state. She is president of the Kandas Conference Mite Missionary Society. we go to our Heavenly Father daily for spiritual food; this food is grace, and as we partake of this grace thru faith in the Divine Spirit so shall our strength be. Grace for Sunday will not be sufficient for Monday. You must go to the Great Fount of Grace for each day's supply. Just as God rained down manna each day to the Israelites in the wilderness, so does He supply sufficient grace to His own a day at a time. The church for the morning service was filled to its capacity. In the evening under the auspices of the Center, one of the church's efficient auxiliaries, an emancipation program was rendered to an overflowing congregation. The program was enjoyed from beginning to end. The music by the orchestra and the octet from K. I. E. I. was splendid as were also the numbers by the Glee Club of Shiloh, Mr. Roger Burton was at his best and his rendition of "Go Down Moses" could scarcely be excelled. Miss Annahle Sawyer's rendition of "When 'Lds Went to War" was well pictured, Mr. S. W. Panker told us of the trial of our people of yesterday, and recalled many touching incidents of the Civil War, Mr. Fred Rundtree spoke of the Negro Today. He told of the general progress in inventions. He urged us to grasp every opportunity to develop the mind, hand and to take advantage of every opportunity and to stick by whatever job you secured. Let not pienies or pay days keep you from your work, Mr. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY, 10, 1023 PLEASE EXCUSE US We hate to be late and we hate to be compelled to apologize for being late but insufficient help and other causes beyond our control compel the apology. All the time, however, we are striving to make your paper better than all the rest. Please excuse us this time.

Charge Arkansas Supreme Court Railroaded Negroes to Death Sentence After Riots Morefield Storey Files Brief With the Uuited Supreme Court on Arkansas Riot Cases. New York, Jan. 15. Moorfield Storey, former president of the American Btur Association and now president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, on Tuesday, January 9th, appeared before the United States Supreme Court to argue appeals in behalf of Negro peons condemned to death in connection with the Arkansas riots of 1919. In the course of the brief appealing against the sentence of death imposed upon five of the Negroes, transnational charges are made involving the courts of the state of Arkansas, Robert J. Kitchens Post, American Legion, leading citizens, newspapers, Rotary Club, and other organizations of Heleena, Arkansas, all of whom are charged with having tried to rail road the Negroes to death, torture being employed to make the prisoners testify falsely, mobysteria dominating their trial which is alleged to have taken place in less than an hour. The cases arose out of an attempt by Negro farmers to organize and obtain legal redress against peonage or debt slavery under the share cropping system prevalent in Arkansas. The Negro crowd were accused of "a plot to massacre whites" and, according to the brief, a large number of white men armed themselves and rushed to the scene of the trouble and to adjacent regions and began the indiscriminate hunting, shooting and killing of Negroes." "We have distinct evidence," says the brief, "that all Negroes at that time were in danger of their lives, and that two hundred or three hundred men were killed. There can be no question that the citizens of Helena were determined that these men should be unrified, and that they manufactured the silence for the purpose; and for the court (Arkansas Supreme Court) to say that they cannot assume that they necessarily did not have a fair BIRTHDAY SURPRISE PARTY Mm. H. I. Monroe and daughter, Alice, delightfully entertained with a surprise party) in honor of Mr. H. I. Monroe on Tuesday evening of last week at their home on Clay street. A delightful evening was spent in playing games. As the cake was not large enough to hold the correct number of candies it was left for the guests to guze Mr. Monroe's age. They were all unable to do so. There were forty guests present. Ice cream and cake were served. LANGSTON, OKLAHOMA. The Tacky Party given at the A. M. K. Church Tuesday evening was a success. Mrs. M. J. Cox won the prize. A very pleasant surprise was given to Mother M. J. Cox in honor of her birthday Wednesday evening, January 10th, by many of the ladies of Langton. The evening was spent in music and short addresses made by several of the ladies and responded to with a solo by Mother Cox and a talk on her early life. Mrs. Daisy Jones, with appropriate remarks, presented the presents. All went away happy. The out of town guests were Mrs. Currie Bough of Perry, a sister and Mrs. Annie Price of Kansas City, Kansas. REV. JOHNSON ASSET TO TOPEKA AND COMMUNI The people of Topka, Kansas, reverence the Rev. N. J. Johnson for his high class Christian and dignified manner in conducting his services. As a minister he has no superior, when it comes to preaching the gospel and giving light to his interpretation of the Bible and never grows tired. He is sought for in all parts of the country to come and diffuse light to the people. He is a great race man but loves all races and believes in the brotherhood of all mankind. Alt. Olive Church, of which he is the pastor, has never had such a great minister nor Topka any better citizen. We cheerfully commend him to all races for Christian love. Nick Chiles, Editor, The Topka Plaindealer. trial shows clearly that the Supreme Court of Arkansas was itself influenced by the same feeling that influenced the leaders of society throughout the region where these tragedies occurred." The brief further recites that the conduct of the case against the convicted Negroes constitutes a series of outrages "than which it is hard to imagine worse." Testimony is cited of H. F. Smily and T. K. Jones, the former deputy sheriff of Phillips Co., Arkansas, the latter a special agent for the Missouri Pacific Railroad, both white, who were incubers of the sheriff's pose and swore that the white man for whose murder the Negroes were convicted, was killed by members of the pose, and that Negroes had nothing to do with the murder. They further swore that they personally whipped the prisoners with metal, put strangling drugs in their nostrils and forced the Negroes to sit in an electric chair to force testimony in the manner desired by the mob. Among the organizations named as fomenting the state of feeling of which the Negroosa were convicted are: Richard L. Kitchens Post, American Legion; the Hielena Rotary Club; Lions Club; and the committee of seven appointed at the time of the riota by the Governor of Arkansas. Associated with Mr. Moorfield Storey before the Supreme Court, in Mr. Salpio A. Jones of Little Rock, Arkansas. Mr. Jones has had charge of the cases from their inception. The Negroes in whose behalf appeal is being made were first sentenced to death in 1010, their cases panning through four state and Federal Courts. The men have twice been sentenced to death and the date of their execution has been fixed on five occasions. Twelve Negroes in all were sentenced to death and 07 received prison sentences varying from a few years to life. WESTERN COLLEGE NEWS LETTER The basket ball season has started, and Western is doing her bit in the League. While we have been unfortunate in scoring, we have been able to put up a good fight.

Last week Mrs. Cora Green, one of our Missionary students, gave to Western a hog weighing 250 pounds. We need not say how proud we were to receive this wonderful donation from Bfrs. Green, on December 31, 1922, the New Era District held its Annual Nession at Vine Street Baptist Church. The complete program was rendered by the Western College. It was as follows: Hymn .....

A delicious course dinner was served to the visitors. Mesdames Burnett and Williams, and members, Mrs. Vickers was ably assisted by her daughter, Mrs. Cobb and Mrs. Green. Next place of meeting with Mrs. D. S. Smith, 1898 Sherman Ave. Springfield, Ohio—Supt. McCord and the Board of Education received another setback, Monday morning, when Judge Frank W. Geiger of the Court of Common Pleas overruled the demurrier of the board to the petition of Omaha L. Johnson and J. W. Teigh for a permanent injunction. The decision, which was rather lengthy, required a full half hour for the judge to read. The demurrier admitted the truth of the allegations of the petition, to the effect that the board of education is by transfer of pupils, seeking to establish at the Fulton school, a school exclusively for our children. The court's ruling referred to a precedent set by the Ohio supreme court in a similar case and indicated that he would follow it in the case now pending. Judge Geiger said it held that inasmuch as the legislature had, in 1887, repealed the specific statute which permitted the establishment of exclusively colored schools that separate schools for colored children have been abolished, and that no regulation can be made under any now existing statute which does not apply to all children, irrespective of race or color. Continuing, the court said that in the district there are about 300 colored and 200 white pupils who were enrolled in said schools in 1920 21, and that the enrollment for the present school year would be about the same, but for the fact that the board of education is attempting, unlawfully, to establish and maintain said school as a school exclusively for colored children; that the board has not declared to do so indirectly, and that it has transferred all white children to other districts from the Fulton school district, refusing them admittance in their own district; that such acts have been done solely because of race or color of said colored children; and that they are unlawful and an abuse of the corporate powers of defendant, and a waste of money of the taxpayers, and an irreparable injury to plaintiffs.

THE VALUE OF A BUSINESS EDUCATION What is a business education? In its restricted sense, a business education means whatever accumulation of knowledge, whether technical or not, an individual has acquired of business, commerce, and industry, and its embraces, the proper functioning of the mind relative to their things. Stored up knowledge is not education except as the individual makes scientific use of it. The mind must function. In the broader view, a business education embraces a comprehensive grasp of the great publishing, throbbing world of business, its great undertaking, its magnificent enterprise and its institutions. We must understand how closely every fibre of our summer life is interwoven with every thread of our social well-being. We must know this vital relationship that we may be able to better score with critics of business on a large scale, which confronts us on every hand. Such business in its anxiety to pay individuals is capable of nicking the life blood of the worker, or it is capable of placing him on a social plane where he may live prosper, and enjoy the higher things of life, and if we know this and are interested in the outcome, we the people, can force the business into reviving the importance of playing the更大 square. Not only should we have to understand ideas of business, but we should understand the psychological principles, that form the foundation of all business, that really makes business what it is. For instance what is it it the loss of confidence in our fellow man to a considerable degree? Is this not mental? Why do many people fail in business? Is it not frequently the result of the loss of faith in themselves? What causes one man to defraud another man in business? Is it not because of the way he thinks? Is he not anxious to secure an advantage over his fellowman? Is it not because of a baser mental attitude? All this illustrates my idea of the broader view in business education. The ancients were trained in business and undoubtedly they were all prepared as the tablets recording their transactions in diate. Babylon, Assyria, and Egypt were highly developed commercially. Records that have been uncertified the past few years in Babylon disclose that these nations carried on business centuries before Christ. The firm of Egibi was a banking firm which was well organised, and their transactions seemed to be varied and well attended four thousand years ago. They had a carefully planned office, where numerous tablets with records of loans, deeds, mortgages, leases, etc., were placed away in sealed jars. Thus we see that the records indicate these people were trained in business. Throughout the business of today we must have trained men, women. The untrained, the unskilled is the caime of so much of our country's unrest. Train the worker; train his mind and we will soon be on the road to the goal that we are striving for—a more endurable and enluring atmosphere in which to live. Then we shall have developed higher ideals, a greater stability, in the character of our national life, and a place of real brotherhood, where greed and avarice are supplanted by charity and love. Then we shall see the dawn of a new era, the sunrise of a more apidious day, when we shall know each other better, and the world will be a better place in which to live. The main thing to determine whether a child is ready to profit by schooling are thus enumerated: "First the habit of ready obedience. The child who has learned to obey is already half cultivated. Second, reverence toward God, which the child must learn through careful teaching, for it is not born with him. Third, the work habit. Many children fail in school because they have been coaxed and bribed instead of being trained to sustained effort. This is a hard world that we have to face, and even the youngest child should learn that he is not going to be coaxed into doing the task set for him. Fourth the habit of observation. The five, sensible should be trained by simple daily lessons. By the child he is past the age when some of the most important parts of this training should be given. Fifth, a good vocabulary. Many pupil's fail because they do not know the meaning of indispensable words with which to express ideas, nor can they grasp the language of the textbooks. The child entering school should have a vocabulary of perhaps ten times the extent of the present average at that age. Children who have been carefully taught at home can easily do in two years the school work that other children can scarcely accomplish in three or four years. The right kind of home education during the first seven years would revolutionize present conditions and increase fourfold the mental power of the generation so taught." Is there not a world of encouragement in that for the earnest mother who desires to bring out the best there is in her children? True education is a drawing out, you know.

THE BEACON LIGHT We went to church one Sunday and the pastor was introducing visitors and one young lady whom he introduced when she cayed a short talk to the congregation, began by saying: "Everybody knows me." We didn't know her, and upon inquiry found only two out of twenty who were acquainted with her or had seen her before. Of course we just thought that she was just like so many other self-centered people we had met, who think that their own particular group constitute everybody. "SIMPLE SOULS" The N. A. A. C. P. spent over $1000 in one day recently with white daily papers in payment of great big half page advertisements of lynchings which have taken place in the United States within the last 30 years. Because the editors of several of the larger Negro journals protested against this useless expenditure, Dr. Dulboja, editor of the Crisis, was inspired to write an editorial captioned: 'Simple Souls,' in which he stated that: "there are certain 'simple souls' among us who seem to imagine that the emancipation of the Colored people of the United States is going to cost about $1.08, and that anything more than this is evidence of theft." The chief critic of the N. A. A. O. P. officials who were responsible for this expenditure is the Atlanta Independent. In a recent editorial, the editor of that militant journal states that: "Now the Negro press, which thought the spending of so much money exclusively among white dailies, which has contributed so much to the crime of lynching, (was extravagant), pleads guilty to simplicity. We are simple souls, leading a simple life and trying to render the race a service of simplicity. We are not hedging or dolging nor working for a dollar; but spending our best efforts and giving our space out of love for the right and for the triumph of the principles of righteousness. We are not aristocrats—we are our pain people spending our own hard earnings. We are not on the pay roll of institutions manned and controlled by white men. We have to give thought of our salary and we are contributing the best in the man to the cause of racial uplift, and we do not feel at all peered or chagrinned when the learned editor of the Grass refers to us as simple souls. It does not change our opinion at all, that it was unwise and the height of of insincerity for any institution, posing as the friend of the Negro, to spend six thousand dollars or more among the agencies that "Lying Tongues" By Mrs. Ollie Matthews Dues If preachers and lecturers who take their text on dancing and card playing would sometimes use the subject—Lying Tongues—or the—Gosaiper—they would better serve as God's Good Shepherds. It always sickens me to go to church and hear a preacher take as his text dancing and card playing, what women are wearing, how they dress their hair, and how they paint their faces—God's gift to women to be as beautiful as they can—when lying tongues of those hypocrites who sing the loudest in church, pray the loudest, and are the most mainly looking, cause more people to go to hell than any of the so-called sins of dancing and playing cards. I would rather die on the ball room floor or at the card table playing a hardless game of cards—taking these forms of recreation, for that's all they are in a sense than to live in this to destroy some human being who is world a hypocrite and a harbor, seeking down, or trying to pull someone down who is striving and struggling to climb the ladder to worthiness and no become a fit being for society. Yes they lied on Christ, stoned him and finally crucified him; but that was over; he had finished the work he was sent here to do and was called home to his Father in heaven. But think what it means to a human being to be lied about, stoned and crucified not to die, but to live out their allotted time to whom God does not see fit to call home to peace and security. They say that the truth hurts. It only hurts when it has been twised and murdered to such an extent that when it is finally told it turns out to be a lie. One of the best examples of this is portrayed in the simple game called "The Gossip." When one person whispers a certain thing to someone else and on and on till the last one tells the crowd --- By Geo. C. Anderson do more to promote lynching than any other class of agencies in the national life." Dr. Dullois claimed that the N. A. C. P. wanted to let white people know about lynching who didn't know ayout it before and to start them to thinking along that line. Editor Davis rejoined that: "Every Negro paper of any consequence in the country is loaded down each week with propaganda from this Association, but not a dollar is sent, and these men are always careful in making statements to the public, Congress or Legislature and in setting forth the position of the race on questions affecting their life and the public weal to say, the Association does not and will not stand for so and so; it never says the people will not stand for this or that. It is careful to say the Association, and the natural inference is that the officers represent the Association and not the people. "This large sum of money was spent with nine white daillies, each of them democratic papers; not a single publication selected was an out and out republican paper. Two of them were bourbon, deep dyed in the wool democratic sheets coming from the two states that led in lynching; one headed the list with eighteen and the other following closely with eleven. The Association handed these two daillies for the service they rendered mob law in this country during the year of 1022 more than $0,000. Editor Dulkois says in this way he made in one single day, 3,000,000 intelligent Americans think about lynching. Every man and woman who read the Association's advertisements in these daillies, if they read at all, had read the same news item in the nine daillies years ago. "It is presuming too much upon the ignorance of the white masses to presume that they had no knowledge of the 3,430 people lynched in the United States from 1860 to 1921. "The Negro press is not so much aggrieved because it did not participate in the alush money handed out to the white dallies to publish our shame and the disgrace of the nation to the world; but it does take execution to the discriminating policy of the N. A. A. C. P. It does object to taking money wrong from the poor washerwoman and the Negroes of every walk of life to pay white papers to publish our misfortunes to the exclusion of the press of its own race." We agree with Bro. Davia. Out of twenty white papers we read the other day we saw twenty accounts of the lynchings occurring in 1922. All of this was published free. Why then the necessity of spending such a large amount? what was said to him. There is no resemblance, never to the original statement. That is the way that the truth is hacked and torn; that is when the truth hurts. I would rather bear the wound of the truth as it is than that which is the result of the gossiper. It has always puzzled me how people can find time in this world to gossip and lie. It is some people's profession I presume for the theey lie so easily and feel they have done their duty. Every creature on God's earth is born to the his own life which ought to be in a manner pleasing in His sight. And often I wonder how many lives of these earthly crucifiers who cross their hands on their breasts and sing: "Glory to God." How many will bear inspection? Nearly everyone has a family skeleton hidden in a dark closet somewhere. How then, can he forget his so much and to such an extent that he has the courage to unlock and disclose that of another* "Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. Life to be lived to its fullest must have its thorns as well as roses, but I pray my Father in Heaven that he will call me home if I must be one of those thorns in anyone's pathway or a stone-thrower. The gosper and har are self-conscious in my eyesight. They are trembling with fear at every imaginable shadow, crying out to keep the rocks from falling on them. They are so black and smutty that their whole time is consumed trying to divert attention to someone else. People who do right are courageous, trustful and truthful. Only the sinner and hypocrite must run and be afraid. You can't keep a good man down. He will rise in spite of you. "An empty wagon makes the most noise." I would rather take chances on card playing and dancing my way to Heaven than that of gossiping and lying. They should read James 3rd chapter: "Of governing the tongue." T. I. King, C. P. & T. A.
