THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER President Harding Sends Message to K. I. E. I. President Harding Sends Message to K. I. E. I. Governor and Legislators Are Honor Guests at Great Lincoln Day Celebration. Twenty-Fifth Year Number Six President Hardy Messa Governor and Legislators Lincoln Day "As the passage of the years takes us farther away from it, there is apparent a disposition among thoughtful Americans to look back upon the generation ending with the Civil War period, as a sort of a golden age of American statemanship," was the opening sentence of President Warren G. Hirring's message to the Lincoln Day celebration at the Kansas Industrial and Industrial Institute yesterday. "It was marked by a courageous attack upon stupendous questions whose wise settlement was rightly regarded as fundamental to the very existence of the republic," the message continued. "There were giants arrayed on both sides of those questions, and for that very reason we have come to appraise more highly the contribution of the leader of leaders whose sagacity clarity of intellect, and stetfastness of purpose won for him the premiership among those who at last dominated and won in the cause of liberty and union. Abraham Lincoln. "Even those who were at the front of the opposition to him appear to us greater by reason of having coped with this giant of human purposes and patriotic aims. It was the moral intensity of this one man which, more than anything else, made the men of his time appear to us as plants; and we shall appreciate him more and more as with continued studies of his career, we come to recognize that his times were truly the 'Age of Lincoln.'" "There ought not to be a real critical race problem in America," were the introductory remarks of Gov. Jonathan M. Davis. "Lincoln was inspired by the declaration that, all men are created equal. We are, however, living today WHITE WOMAN DEAD; NEGRO IS ARRESTED Columbia, S. C., Jan. 20—The mysterious death of a white woman at Dear, a small town near here caused the arrest of Thomas Johnston, as a suspect. He was lodged on jail last Wednesday morning and that night a mob of white men took him from the jail to a small thicket with the usual intent of making a pendulum of him by tying a slip nose around his neck and allowing his body to swing in the air from the end of the suspended rope. But somehow their conscience would not allow them to carry out their premeditated plan and they simply "talked and talked" to Johnson and then turned him over to the officers. It is believed that Johnston will await trial in connection with the murder of the woman at the special term of court at Bramberg, which will convene shortly. NEGROES AT NEWBERN, N. C. FIGHT LOSS OF PROPERTY "New Bern, N. C., Jan. 28. Colored residents of the city of New Bern, whose homes were burned in the recent disastrous fire, are fighting an attempt by white citizens to prevent their re- building their homes by condemnation proceedings which would turn the Colored section into a cemetery and park. "The city of New Born is determined the burnt area shall not be rebuilt by or for Negroes. It is proposed to condemn the land, ostensibly for cemetery and park purposes, but this is openly winked at as a subterfuge to get rid of the Negro property owner. In the meanwhile no provision is being made suitable for a location elsewhere. It is asserted that the city of New Born lacks the necessary funds for the condemnation proceedings thus proving the measure a subterfuge to prevent the Colored residents from rebuilding their homes. 12 YEAR OLD GIRL IS OUT- RAGED AND SLAIN ON BIRTHDAY Houston, Tex., Feb. 2. Enterline Mae Bailey, aged 12 years, daughter of Wm. Bailey, a widower, was shockingly out- raged and then slain by a brutal man on last Monday afternoon. Her horribly mutilated body was found near the I. and G. N. railway freight house. The little girl had gone to receive some birthday gifts from friends and when she failed to return hours later, a search was made for her which result- ed in the finding of her dead body. One suspect is under arrest. in a social and economic order that deserves this great principle. It is now our job in this great reconstruction period to adjust all of our injustices so that this country may prosper and perpetuate the great principle of government for and by the people." Rep. Nellie Clime, Larned, spoke on the Lincoln Memorial gate proposed for erection at the Institute. This gate will be placed at the entrance to the grounds On one panel there will be the likeness of Abraham Lincoln and on the other the likeness of Booker T. Washington. W. L. Sayers, Hill City, a member of the board of trustees of the Institute, welcomed the visitors. Sen. A. L. Brooks, Grantville, spoke on "Lincoln, the Patriot." President G. R. Bridgeforth, of K. L.F. L. celebrated Lincoln's Birthday by inviting the Governor, State Officials, and the Kansas legislature to a big barbecue. They heartily accepted the invitation and brought their friends. Over three hundred sat down to one of the finest barbecue dinners ever served in Kansas; that was the concenun of opinion of the many ladies and gentlemen we heard express themselves. The faculty and students showed up fine; boys in their military attire looked fine. They are well drilled and disciplined under Major Abbott of the U. S. A. The display of the trades being taught to the students showed up fine. The exhibits were displayed from the front porch of the Girl's Dormitory. The girls all looked neat and sweet. The school is doing fine and is filling a very needy place in the rebuilding of the race where the other institutions could not reach. The Band furnished some excellent music.

He sold out his barber business there and decided to return to his old home. President Bridgeforth and his faculty certainly pulled off a fine display of what they are doing. The ladies who handled the kitchen and dining room are to complimented on such fine excellent service. Mrs. Frazier, the matron, knows how to manage students and see that they are all served alike. Mrs. Bart Rua, of Emporia, came down to assist in preparing this big feast. She is one of Mr. Frank DeWett had charge of the Mr. Frank Dowet had charge of the barbingneung and he is past master on that part of the work. Both white and colored statesmen and philobates sat down together and each enjoyed themselves in that large dining hall without any social relation. All were there for same purpose—the educating of the youth and the best methods. All listened to the talks on how and what to do to make us better people and to destroy race prejudice. The gathering of the best white and colored people of Kansas at that school last Thursday was a great blessing and is worth millions of dollars. Money can't express it. The white people went away with a better feeling towards the colored race. Many had never been or even thought that colored people had Head Nearly Severed; Evidence of Brutal Crime, Two White Men Held, Believed Slayers Harrisburg, Pa., Feb. 5.—The mute body of Mrs. Fannie Harris, 38, an attractive colored woman, was found by police scanners, buried in the collar of her home, 1110 North 12th street, late on last Tuesday afternoon, thus ending a search which had lasted two days. Only a narrow shred of flesh saved the body from being completely headless. All evidence points to a brutal crime. Mr. Harris reported the disappearance of his wife on Monday when she failed to appear after a long wait following his arrival home from work and during which he made inquiries and search for Mrs. Harris. but a minute to size up the situation. He is a widower and we know he left a few sorrowing windows in the old Knickerbocker country. He looks fine. His age of three scores don't seem to show up. He is making his home with his son Charley and wife, and several grandchildren at their country home, where they are building a five thousand dollar home on their farm, four miles east of the Post Office. He is Marshall of the City Court of Topanga, and one of the best officers in the state a shrewd delective of the Bunns order. While yet a young man, he is fixing or a rainy day. He owns a fine bar- ber shop and several pieces of rental property, a thirty acre farm on the suburbs of Topeka, with hogs and chickens. He is making a specialty of strawberries. Mr. John Lyle is a high class Christian gentleman owning a fine piece of property in St Louis. We are glad to have him. By Nick Chiles banks enough to do such things. They found intelligent, clean and neat colored bows and girls who are trying to 'carn trades and will try to apply them when out of school'. Those present can't 'save the heart to turn them completely down. President Harding's letter was a surprise to the crowd. President Bridgeforth is to be complimented for this. The speech that had the right ring to it was the one delivered by Governor Jonathan M. Davis. He is right; there could not be any racial problems in America. If the Democratic Party had more men like him, the rights of the people would be specially adjusted. He is a big hearted Christian gentleman, Kansas bird, with the face of old John Brown. He is no political trickster. We believe he will be fair to all. While we supported the Republican party and are a staunch republican, we are compelled to admire Governor Davis as one of Kansas' best citizens and will make one of the best Governors the state ever had. All classes will receive fair treatment at his hands. We are thankful to him for having the courage to say what he did at this gathering. It means much to all races. The police have discovered that Chas. Furnest of Cumberland street, and an other white man named Barnes were with Mrs. Harris at her home Monday. They are being held by the police, who are making a rigid investigation. It is declared the police say that the two men held are suspected slaves.

Faces Three Big Problems Claims Speaker Dr. Jenkins Sees Race Problem But Taboos Solutions Offered By Many People. "The world today is in a most distinct new era," declared Dr. Burris Jenkins, pastor of the Liawood Boulevard Christian church, of Kansas City, Mo. former managing editor of the Kansas City. Post, in his address on the "New Era," at Washburn yesterday morning. He gave the principal address in celebration of the fifty-eight anniversary anniversary of the founding of the Lebanon institution. "Problems are entirely different than before the great World War. The great change came in four years, from 1914 to 1918. The world never will and never can go back to what it was in 1918. It can be compared to a home, where the only child has died. Nothing can make it the same as before. Three Big Problems Up "To discover there is difference, it is only necessary to go into a store to buy a pair of shoes or any other commodity. The price is double that of ten years ago. The income now have but one half the buying power which they had before the war." Doctor Jenkins cited several problems which face the world. They are the race problem, the industrial problem, and the question of what part the SENDS PHOTOGRAPH BY WIRELESS London.—The Dailey Mail announces that an electrician, T. T. Baker, a pioneer in photo telegraphy, has completed a process to wireless photography. It is said that he has found it possible to send by wireless a photograph which is reproduced on a sensitive film some distance away from the sending set. The newspaper prints a picture, which it says was transmitted by Mr. Baker from one building to another building, 100 yards away, in three minutes. It adds that the process may be used for the transmission of pictures over unlimited areas. Lines Worth Remembering Envy is a low and degrading passion, and should be striven against—happling.

"There can be no denial that we have a race problem," he declared. "We have 100,000,000 whites and 10 millions of Negroes in the United States. They are of different extinction. What can we do to keep them at peace? 4 Solutions to Race Question. Four solutions have been advanced The are all impracticable. The four are deportation, segregation, amalgamation, and assassination." Departation is impossible. Jenkins stated, because the birth rate of the Negro is high and they increase faster than they could be deported. As for segregation, it would take a high fence to keep the Negroes in, and a higher fence to keep the whites out. Amalgamation has never been a success. Fewer cases of amalgamation occur now than in years past, and investigation shows they are decreasing steadily. Doctor Jenkins dismissed the fourth suggestion with a smile. The rest of the address dealt with the religious and economic problems which face the United States today. a better game than they did. The team is young, and too, they are organized under disadvantages. For instance, we have no gymnasium at our command for them to practice in at all times.

Moderate price ★★★ THE BEACON LIGHT Being a Little Bit of Everything. By Geo. C. Anderson Frequently we hear loud and alarming cries from some of our people who are afraid of the Ku Klux Klan. Sometimes we think that these alarms are false—that the Klan means nothing in our young life, but when we read such items as the following and in a large daily paper like the Topeka (Kansas) Daily (Capital), we are forced to believe that after all the Klan is perhaps adversely interested in our welfare. The article under discussion follows: "You will not give Negroes any more favorable publicity such as they received for being the first contributors to the Christ's hospital fund." A voice over the telephone informed the Daily Capital yesterday, "We won't stand for it. This is the K. K. K. headquarters." Such a warning coming from this dreadful housed terror naturally leads the thoughtful person to wonder where the klan gets its authority, and more important still, the wherewithal to carry on their nefarious operations. Editor R. B. Wright Jr. of the influential Christian Recorder evidently believes that Negroes are as guilty as anyone else in supporting our housed terrorors, for says he in a leading editorial: "Mr. B. M. Rodd, of Memphis, Tenn., in making a speech the other day, stated that in the City of Memphis there were two colored banks, one of which he is himself the cashier, which had more than a million dollars, another, one which had a quarter of a million dollars. All of this money is from colored people. But there were other banks in the city of Memphis, he said, which had more than three million dollars in them belonging to colored people. What Mr. Roddy, said of Memphis is true of practically every city in the country with the exception that most of them do not have as much money in colored banks as Memphis has. Most of them have their money in white banks. The heads of many of these banks are Ku Klux themselves, and much of this money is used to help organize the Ku Klux. From many of these banks the Ku Klux can borrow money, and the colored people themselves cannot borrow. Thus in an indirect way, many of our people are supporting the Ku Klux Klan with their money while they protest against it with their voices. Which do you think is the more powerful!" Brain and Brawn Among the By Merril By Merril C. Smith An attempt to whitewash Siki in the Chamber of Deputies failed as was only to be expected. The Deputy for Senegal tried to reopen the matter by taking an opposition to the annual government grant for physical culture, but the minister in charge of the Deputy must pointed out that the subsidy was solely for amateur athletic development and declined to permit any discussion on Siki's case. Lively debate had been anticipated by the people behind the scenes as according to previous advances to land from Paris Siki's punishment was not only just, but of anything, eras on the side of lenency. The French Federation are anxious that the details are not publicly disclosed and it would be obviously unfair to Siki if he is not afforded an opportunity to defend himself. A wise man's mind changes, but a fool's never. The New York housing commission have got some real "wise birds." Marcel Mille is considered the Official heavyweight champ of France. The French Federation appointed him to the crown. Of course we will not attempt to say what Sikl would like to do. We are certainly getting tired of saving up money for that Dempsey-Wilds golf. Next year will be soon enough to start. We read that Battling Niki is going to give up his shoe shining business to enter the movies. Now our advice to to him is "Stay away from the movies as they are full of "frame up." We received a communication from dr. Rouser of Parsons, stating that his team has not lost a game this season. It is a pity that Chanute and Parsons both can't claim that honor and the towns so close together. --- --- --- --- By Geo. C. Anderson Over at Asbury church the other Sunday night, that worthy body celebrated its 42nd anniversary. The event was fittingly commenced by observing what Presiding Elder termed a Community night, at which time business and professional men from all parts of the city were invited to deliver addresses. Many of them accepted the invitation, as did Mrs. James, City Social Worker. Noteworthy among the speakers (including the writer) was Attorney Phisha Scott. We must say that Mr Scott certainly threw a bomb-shell into the meeting when he voiced his sentiments as to the method in which the church should be conducted. He said among other things that the churches for the most part were in the wrong places; that their method of government fault. For the most part we agree with Mr. Scott, although we can't substitute to his whole arrangement of the church of the present day and its method of procedure. According to Mr Scott churches should be located in places easy of access and among other things should contribute to the economic welfare of its constituency as well as its spiritual welfare. Lack of space prohibits us from discussing the subject further, but if there are any of you who disagree with him, speak right out, we'll publish your idea too. We have an arbiter to whom we submit our articles before they appear. It often happens that she (yes, its a her) doesn't approve and our readers are deprived of a whole week's effort. That is what happened to our masterpiece this week—"The Satraps of the Simple." We are re-writing it, however, and it is sure to get by at an early date. One of the very great efforts put forth by any organization to raise funds for a worthy cause will have its culmination in "The Wedding Extravaganza," by members of the St. John A. M. E. church on the 22th of this month at the City Auditorium. Those who seem to know, claim that this will be the one great event of the season that stands out at the top of the list in so far as merit is concerned. Prof. Jackson, head of the Music Department at Western University, will perform on the big electric-controlled pipe organ, and best of all, someone will be given a Ford Car. Basketteers. C. Smith Mr. A. M. Robinson of Cherryvale is organizing a Sunday School basketball team. We wish him success with his team and would like to hear from him. This is indeed a good thing and it would be nice if more Sunday Schools would organize and teach young folks real clean sports. On looking at some of the exchanges we find that Sol Butler, a Kansas boy of international fame, now captain of the New York Defenders Basket Ball teams, and who plays guard on the same team, has had a little averse luck, losing two games that they should have had a walk away with. The Topeka Y. M. C A. Basket Ball team has been trying to arrange a series of games in southern Kansas but all of the managers find some kind of an excuse when they decide to answer our letters. 99.41 K. I. E. I. LOSES TO W. U. In one of the most exciting games Basket Bad games played this season on the K. I. K. I. floor, Western University of Quindaro Kansas, defeated the K. I. towers to the time of 18 to 6. Jackson was the outstanding star for the W. V. team, while Ray and Martin bore the brunt of their swift attack for K. I. Mr. Stafford of the Boys Institute served as referee. According to Major Abbott, coach for K. I., the Institute has an almost entirely new team. The next game will be played on Saturday night of next week. Without Canvassing. Without selling.

Mr. Jamie Stammons, only son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Stammons, after four years of illness, was tenderly laid to rest on Thursday afternoon, January 18th. Rev. C. S. Webater of the M. K. church, delivered the funeral sermon, assisted by Rev. F. F. Moten of the A. M. E. church. Services were in charge of Undertaker W. P. Campbell and Co. Mrs. Marle Marr, a sister of the deceased, and Aunt Rachel attended the funeral. A profusion of beautiful flowers covered the casket. Mrs. Emma Cox Henderson appeared in good health but died suddenly with an attack of acute indigestion. Mrs. Mr. Philip McGuire, after an illness of several weeks passed away and was buried Monday evening, Jan. 20th. The funeral services were held at Gibson Chapel, Rev. McK. Miller, officiating Mrs. T. J. Sparks died after a severe illness of several weeks. Her death came as a surprise to many who did not know that she was so ill. She was a member of the American Woodmen. Beautiful flowers covered the basket. SALINA, KANSAS --- Pastor Williams preached a glorious and soul stirring sermon Sunday morning; subject: "Reaching Out After God." His text was a portion of the third Psalm: "David said, My soul thirsteth for Thee." The pastor pointed out the wonderfulness of having the soul thirst after God. That in itself is a blessing for we are told that "Blessed are they that thirsteth after righteousness for they shall be filled." We may blessed with much of this world's goods but nothing satisfies the soul but the grace of God. Mr. and Mrs. Amos Tyler and Mr. Harry Tyler of Abilene, Lawyer Fred Holm of Wichita, and Mrs. Rich of Kansas City, Mo., were among the visitors whoattended our services Sunday. We extend to all a cordial welcome to worship with us. St. John Baptist church has secured a permit to erect a new building on North Walnut street. The architects are busy drawing the plans. They expect to start building in the early spring. An effort to raise $750.00 in the next sixty days is being made for the purpose of paying the architect's bill. The different auxiliaries have pledged themselves to raise the following amounts: Mission Circle, #150.00; Ladies Aid, $130.00; Sunday School, #100.00; B. Y. P. C., $50.00 and the church proper, $200.00, making a total of $750.00 from all sources. The workers are putting forth their effort to go over the top in this drive. The old folks concert given by the St. John Baptist church hour was a very successful affair. A goodly number of people were present. All enjoyed seeing the costumes of 1873 and listening to the old fair tar songs. Mr. John Rhodes is spending a few days in Kansas City, Mo.
