THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Lincoln University Students Declare a General Strike Refuse to Attend Classes Until They Are Granted Recognition and More Privileges. TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR NUMBER FOUR Lincoln University Declare a Refuse to Attend Classes U Recognition and Jefferson City, Mo. Jan. 19.—The students at Lafayette University declared a strike and refused to attend classy yesterday morning. When the 8 o'clock bell sounded, only about 50 students reported for chapel. The officials of the University immediately went over to the school dormitories to ascertain the reason for so many absences, and were informed the students did not intend to go to any more classes until they were granted more recognition, given better food, allowed more social privileges and greater freedom of speech. The strike, according to members appointed to look after the interests of the strike was called as a protest against the administration in general, and to demand more liberties consistent with the character and class of the student. The movement is practically supported by the entire student body which however is conducting the affair in an orderly manner. One of the strikers, in telling of the food which is being served at the insti- KANSAS AVENUE "Y" IMPROVES APPEARANCE OF BUILDING The Kansas Avenue Y. M. C. A. has taken on some of the physical appearances of a real Y. M. C. A. building. The spain addition to the quarters is the new office which has been recently constructed. This office gives some privacy to the Secretary for conferences and for study. Heretofore it has been extremely difficult for more than one meeting to be conducted in the building at a time. Now the Association will be able to accumulate two at least. This improvident shows that the Secretary, Mr. Green, is wide-awake to the interest of the youth to whom he has dedicated his life and labor, and the public will support him. LOGANSPORT TOWFISH HOLDS SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION Friend, Kansas, Jan. 17. On Sunday, January 7th, 1921, the Logansport Township Convention held its first quarterly meeting at Oakley. The weather was Niel and all representatives of the schools were present. In the morning the Sunday School preaching service and testimony meet ing were very interesting. All seemed glad to greet Oakley and meet in their church building which was recently purchased. For this effort they deserve unlimited praise. At noon a bountiful dinner was spread and enjoyed by all. During the children's hour following the afternoon service, we listened to some very beautiful songs as well as dialogues and recitations. The discussions "The Importance of the Sunday School in a Community" was led with a thoughtful and very pointed speeches by Deacon J. J. Clark followed by Revs. Douglas, M. S. Jones and Miss Annie Williams. The main thought was of the benefit to the young and thus later benefit to the community. The session was one of unison, manifest interest and good feeling and good feeling toward one another. -M. G.

President Page stated that the faculty had investigated the matter thoroughly and that he was certain the affair would settle down immediately.

Knight has been elected president of the Upsilon Chapter of the Alpha Phil Alpha Fraternity; Mr. Bernard Waters has been elected president of Mu Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Phil Fraternity for the ensuing year. Boys are Topeka young men. The Alpha Phil Alpha Fraternity stood second out of fifteen fraternities on that Dearest scholarship roll for last year. Mr. McKnight was delegate to the national convention in St. Louis in December. --- The following letter allows how mean and contemptible some white people of Mlaxter Springs are in trying to deprive the Colored people of their education. They are compelled to attend a filthy old dilapidated school room while the whites have the very best of care. The letter follows: I think the position of the Editor of the Plaindealer is open and bold and is outspoken but there are some men in our state who will not come into the open and let them attitude be known, but having a fair knowledge of conditions as now obtains in our state there is one important phase of our group in this state that is a growing menace, and that is the desire of our people to give us separate schools where our boys and girls can teach. The desire to teach is alright, but why do upon the race an evil or an unjust discrimination that we are compelled to combat. One has only to go into any public place where white people operate and more often they refuse to serve Colored people. But there is no law in Kansas to prohibit our children from attending any public or state school and yet we are in the age of intelligence catering to American prejudice. How can we in honesty expect to be accorded equal privileges in public places when we sell our birthright for a mess of pottage. We talk of conditions in the South as being intolerable and we are building up the same here. Hence in years to come we need not be surprised if they give us jim crow curses because we are satisfied with Jim crow schools which we foster ourselves. It not deceived. Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap, saith the Lord.

He came to Kansas City in 1907 and worked as section hand on the Great Western Railroad. He was born in Harrison County, Texas, on farm. He has always been an active and energetic young man.

Jan. 19.—New York's prominent daily, the Globe, de-mands a revival and enactment of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill by the Senate in an editorial of January 19th. The editorial is as follows: for the law that does not draw the color or line. Consequently the country has the spectacle of a rich man who dared give bad for the accused stutter whipt by a mob. As to the origin of the Arkansas outrage, it is desirable to "The Arkansas Mob Murder "The mob of Arkansas farmers who hanged a railroad striker may be mutually different from the union sympathizers at Horns, Illinois, who brutally murdered mine guards and officials, but so far as the maintenance of the law is concerned, the result is the same. It is inconceivable that such an act could have occurred in any northern European country save Russia. The habit of lynching Negroes, which is popular in Illinois and Arkansas, breeds a contempt CELEBRATES GOLDEN WEDDING Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Gudgell celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary Jan. 15th. They were married in Utica, Livingston, County, Mo., January 15th, 1873, and came to Kansas in 1886, making Topeka their permanent home.

Y., Jan. 10.—The Associated Press (white) has been asked by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to correct a report sent out which leaves in doubt the position of Moofield Storey N. A. A. C. P. National President, with regard to the exclusion of Negro students from the Harvard freshman dormitories. "For more than a year a fight has been in progress against race discrimination in Harvard. A committee of prominent graduates, about a year ago, organised a petition against discrimination on account of race on the ground that such discrimination violated the Harvard tradition of tolerance. A leader of this group of graduates protesting against race discrimination at Harvard, who is still active in the fight, is Moorfield Storey, President of the National Association of Colored People. Mr. Storey was fighting and is continuing the fight against race discrimination at Harvard." --- PRUMINENT COUPLE WEDS Miss Ruth Walton of Leavenworth, Kansas, daughter of Mrs. Nan J. Walton, was married to Mr. James Nichols of Wichita, Kansas, formerly of Winfield, Kansas, Miss Walton was one of the most popular teachers of the state. She taught in Tulsa, Oklahoma, for a long time and after a test she accepted a position to teach at Wichita where she met Mr. Nichols. Here was her Waterloo. She had many admirers. She is a very sweet and charming young lady who is pleasant, affable and popular with everybody who knows her and especially the teachers and pupils. She always had two positions waiting for her. She is a graduate of the State normal. Her mother is a teacher in the schools of Leavenworth, her father, the late Prof. A. H. Walton, was a teacher in the Leavenworth schools for years. He was also Grand Secretary of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge of Masonia up to his death. Mr. Nichols is an active business man and was for years owner of a fine barber shop and real estate holdings. They have gone to Los Angeles to make their future home. for the law that does not draw the color line. Consequently the country has the spateable of a rich man who dared give bad for the accused stalker whipt by a mob. As to the origin of the Arkansas outrages, it is desirable to suspend judgment pending further information, but concerning the remedy there is a doubt. The enactment of a federal anti lynching law, with its assurances that the guilty who are addicted to this criminal pastime will have the opportunity to explain their views on mob murder and torture to an impartial jury, will have a cooling effect up on emotions which are now uncommon. Congress ought in the name of decency to revive the pending bill and force it through to passage. Judge Ronald Denounces Refractory Members of Lodge—Three Fined and Three Others Sentenced to Jail. Geatty, Washington, Jan. 24—'00 all the defiant, absolute defiant, flagrant disobedience of orders of a court, I never heard any worse," said Judge Ronald of King County Superior Court, Monday morning, as he denounced six seceding members of Jephtha Chapter of the Order of Eastern Star, and decreed their quilty of contempt of court. Those published were Z. D. Hamilton, Mrs. Elizabeth Bagley, C. M. Johnson, Mrs. Geneva Foster, Mrs. Lena Hamilton and Mrs. Clara Bonner. They are former members of Jephtha Chapter No. 9, Order of Eastern Star, and as a result of a controversy seconded from the order and took with them seals, regalia and other lodge property. The chapter book suit to compel them to return the property and they were ordered to do so by Judge Ronald. They refused unless they were given $15 paid into the chapter as dues. When they persisted in this refusal Judge Ronald ordered them to appear for contempt of orders. "I find Mrs. Foster, Mr. and Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Bonner, Mrs. Bagley and Mr. Johnson are guilty of contempt in disobedience of a lawful order and final decree of the court," said Judge Ronald. "Some of these persons are more guilty than others. Some of them I am going to imprison, Hamilton, even, not to repeat his language, knew better than anybody else how far a court could go and how far a court could not go. He is going to find out how far a court can go. Everyone of these defendants on the stand were very particular to steer away from the paraphenalia but anxious to state they were holding out for part of the money in the bank. They all swore that what they were holding out for, and because they did not get what the court adjudged they must not contend for, they refused to turn over the goods. Now I am going to put some of them in jail for a definite period of time. However if they produce those goods before the period of time is up I will let them go. I don't like to put these people in jail, some of them are married women, but when they passed the concealed goods from home to home they knew they were doing wrong. Now that is just as bad as anarchy. If people can't respond the orders of court why they might as well adpurn. Mr. Hamilton, you are sentenced to 30 days in jail. Mrs. Hamilton still holds the secretary's records or she has destroyed them. She will have to serve 30 days in jail. Mrs. Foster was matron and has been persistent in false replies. She will have to serve 30 days in jail. Mr. Johnson is not quite so guilty. After the orders of the court for holding the contrainment of the goods Mr. Johnson persuaded the man who had charge of it not to give it up. Mr. Johnson will pay fifty dollars. Mr. and Mrs. Scott, I shall not punish. After my decree they immediately delivered over what goals they had in their possession. The balance of you might as well harm to they the orders of the court. Mrs. Foster, Mrs. Hamilton, Mrs. Bonner and Mrs. Bagley were all working together. Human nature is human nature. Mrs. Bonner and Mrs. Bagley, since my decree have been perfectly willing to comply with the orders of the court—Mrs. Bagley at all times. Mrs. Bonner, I think, was working under the influence PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR Y. M. C. A. Revival Draws Large Crowds In its task of helping to reach the unreachable, the Kansas Ave. A. M. C. A. did a big piece of service when it held a month of retreat during the usual Forum period each Sunday afternoon during the month of January. It is a credit to the members of the Forum and its well wishers as well that there was no perceptible decrease in the attendance during these services. That a great goal was accomplished, no one will attempt to deny. Many of the young men who attend the Forum each Sunday and who are members of the church perhaps had their faith increased, while some others who are not members, were made to think of the serious aspect of this life in its relation to the next. After the seminar on the 28th, the Forum will resume its regular literary and musical programs. FIFTH ANNUAL SOUTHWESTERN STUDENT CONFERENCE New York, N. Y., January 19.—The International Y. M. C.

A.s of Bethel A. M. E. church, gave a wonderful program on Sunday afternoon, January 21, for the College, in the chapel. of some of the leaders. The ring leader was Hamilton. I hate to fine them. They are poor, I have either got to fuse them or send them to jail and I don't like to that—don't like to put any more of them in jail than I have to. I don't believe it was ever in the power of Mrs. Bonner or Mrs. Bagley to turn over the property. I doubt if they know where it is. However Mrs. Bonner and Mrs. Bagley are guilty of contempt of court, and are fined ten dollars apiece." Attorney t. H. Rummone, for the defendants, gave notice of appeal to the state Supreme Court and the defendants were seized when he filed a 4900 supercede bond.

RACE WOMEN MUCH INTERESTED IN RIGHTS Washington, D. 41-Colored women are showing a lively interest in the nationwide campaign for equal rights for women, supervised by leaders of the National Women's party. It has been announced here that action will soon swing in 41 states. Equal rights bills have been drafted, it was said, for introduction to sessions of the state legislative bodies. States in which the women's party leaders will center their effort include Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas and West Virginia. Northern whites have recurrent opposition to the program and now declare that the "Grandfather" clause now operated against Negro men will not work as easily in the case of colored men.

HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Too much salt hinders brand from tasting. Piston on copper may be removed with lipid ammonia. Coffee may be used as the liquid in spice or ginger cake. It gives an interesting flavor. Putty moved with mustard and brick on glass will make the best filling for hudles where rats and mice come in. If vinegar is heated a little and rubbed on glasses, hams, bells, or hungues that squeaked, they will at once become moistens. When painting floors that have the old fashioned wide boards, draw a line through the center of each board with a hard panel before putting on the varnish, and you have a floor which looks just like the narrow boards.
