THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER U. S. Supreme Court Orders New Trial for Negroes in Arkansas Riot Cases Nation's Highest Tribunal Denounces Mob Spirit Prevailing in Arkansas Courts. TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR NUMBER EIGHT U. S. Supreme C ders New Trials in Arkansas Nation's Highest Tribunal Prevailing in Ar Washington, D. C., Feb. 19.—The Supreme Court today ordered back the cases of the five Arkansas Negroes undeath sentence for shooting Clinton L. Lee in Phillips County, Arkansas, in 1919. The shooting grew out of the Elaine Race Riots. The court directed that fair trials be accorded the men. The court, denouncing the trial in Phillips County, served notice that if state courts were ruled by mob violence and arrested men denied a fair trial, federal courts would assume jurisdiction of habeas corpus proceedings. Thanks to the Great Jehovah above, the United States Supreme Court at Washington is coming to realize that the colored folks are not getting justice in this country, especially in the South. Alright dear Judges, we want all the colored ministers, all the praying colored people of these United States to pray to the Almighty Jehovah to bless and care for these judges who are now giving out justice and not "law." The Southern courts and their juries will not accord justice to colored people when it comes to a difference between white and colored people. These men never had a fair trial and never FULTON WOULD BE COMMISSIONER OF WATERWORKS Mr. W. S. Fulton, one of Topeka's energetic young business men and contractors, is up for Commissioner of Waterworks and Street Lighting. He is seeking the votes on the ground that JOHN B. HARRIS he is efficient and capable to give the people plenty of good water at the very least expense. He hopes to see most every voter before the primaries and convince them that he is the man for the job. He is clean, upright, and a young progressive fellow who stands for a greater Topcka. W. S. HANCOCK FOR COM. SIONER OF STREETS Mr. W. S. Hammack, Commissioner of Streets, is again before the people of he filled the office that the tax payers and voters invited him to run again without opposition. If you want to know what he has accomplished, ride over the miles of paved streets, paved alleys, new bridges, all modern an unantial structures. He has given the tax payers their money"a worth. His assistants and street forces are loyal to him. He hopes to complete the necessary and important bridges this year. This will be his last term for this office. He feels that his work will then be completed. He is honest, and upright in his business dealings with the public. No taint or hint of wrong doing after handling over a million dollars of contracts and publications. It is gratifying to know that Topeka can boast of and officer who is surrounded by so many temptations and go through without a scratch in these litres of graft and financial unrest.

The Southern courts are for the most part made up of bigots, cowards, and men of no reason when it comes to dealing out justice to the colored race. This decision of the United States Supreme Court will go a long way towards straightening up crooked people, crooked courts and crooked judges. From now on they will know that the highest court in the land will take a hand in such underhanded methods as was very evident in the Arkansas Riot cases. Alright, President Harding, we have been for you all the time. Now we know we cannot change our mind if we had wanted to. You have certainly appointed men on the Bench after your own heart. So many of our race cannot see across the street without complaining. They should look ahead and study conditions. Office holding will not cause the race to be given justice and equality at law. We want such decisions as this is. A better understanding between races will be brought about when people are made to obey the law and courts will not discriminate. Our Supreme Justices of Kansas should take notice. REBECCA TABERNACLE UP Kansas City, Kan., Feb 12—Rebecca Tabernacle held its regular monthly meeting last Monday, Feb. 4th.

She said: "I was proud of the klan for its charitable acts to widows and orphans, because it restored white dominance in the South, and because also Cy Williams was my first sweetheart, was cyclops. But lawless men got hold of the organization and when Oliver P. Morton made his investigation, I gave testimony against the klan. I'm glad that I helped put it out of business, and I'm sorry to see it is trying to come back. There is no good it can do now."

YOUR WORST ENEMY If you make a searchin and an impartial investigation of the matter, you will discover that your worst enemy is right at your elbow, seeking at crucial moments of your wife to oppose your good efforts and circumvent your childish plans. He is besiege yu in the morning when the gray light of dawn heralds the coming sun, hiding an opportunity to strike you in a vital spot; he puts his arm in yours as you hurry down to the breakfast table, seeking to win your confidence; he passes with you through the street doorway as you lie away to your daily vacation, and if something has gone amiss in the dining room, he smuggles up closely and begins to whisper in your always willing ear especially in chosen words of sympathy, telling you how you how you are imposed upon by others, to whom you shall resent fully reply. By the time you reach your desk, your place behind the counter, your chair before the typewriter, your bench or whatever a tale you may accuse it of the tower of tool, you are in a dearly uncomfortable mood. And you can have to look around you to become irritable, quarrelsome and celebrate of anotherudge from your pestering men, who seems reasonably sure that before the day is over you will find out a volley of fiery vowables, sooul at the manager, which is becoming a habit, and return to your home at night with anger, disgusted with your intimates and yourself. Nothing seems right. You are sure that nobody can be trusted. You are suspicious and manifest kindness and unselfish intent one. And this is the unness that generally leads to you unbring—the mail that your worst enemy, if permitted to work upon your sensibilities without restraint, invariably produces. If you sit yourself down consciously, at the end of a trying day, and reflect seriously, you may with but little difficulty guess who this enemy is. In pressing should be too insecure in the need you are, raise your eyes to the mirror across the room and you will see in the published glass your own perturbed self your worst enemy.

Most of the investors had their money in savings accounts. Had they consulted an officer of the bank before making the withdrawal those unfortunate mistakes would not have been made Danks not only receive deposits, collect and exchange money, but the officers of the bank are students of investment and finance.

At the trial it was proved that the prisoner in the assault. This proves conclusively that to permit a man to be convicted without a fair trial makes it possible for many innocent people to suffer. It also proves that women highly excited will identify a man as the guilty one simply because they think he is the man. We wonder how many innocent Negroes have been hurled at the stake because of the identification of some hysterical woman. The only way for justice to obtain is to have a fair trial. —Philadelphia Tribune.

THE KITCHEN CABINET FISH AND OTHER DISHES In the realm of adventure there is no more interesting story than that of the californian, who leave their haunts in the sea, where they have grown fat and mature, enabled by the mysterious instinct given them by their Creator; they return to the rivers of fresh water, where they were born. In the northern Pacific coasts they ascend rivers often blocked by rocks so steep that it is necessary to climb them; however they lean up the sides or use ladders, provided by men to aid them on their journey. Coming in great numbers, it is easy to catch them. Here they lay their eggs and their young are hatched. The tuna fish is becoming a close rival to the salmon. Unlike the salmon its meat is almost white in color, and has a delicate flavor much like chicken; it has been called the 'turkey of the "66 PQRO" You Have Tried the Rest Now Give the Best a Chance.

Ware, formerly of Colorado, but who is now pastor of the First Baptist church at Nicodemus, Kansas, delivered two powerful sermons at our church Sunday.

Later a story appeared in the Chicago Whip in which it was stated that Mr. Abbott had been denied a passport and would be unable to make his trip. Now comes the New Age Dispatch of Los Angeles under the caption of "Obtaining a Passport" in which the editor states that: "Robert S. Abbott, editor of the Chicago Defender, and well known in Los Angeles, has been refused a passport by the Brazilian government, and a trip he contemplated making to that republic is therefore called off. It is said that all American Negroes are unwelcome in Brazil. If this is true, it is no doubt due to the influence of American business men and tourists who are not satisfied to carry out an extensive and obvious program of prejudice and discrimination of American citizens of lor in this republic, but spread their trusted against American Negroes wherever they go throughout the world. It is always been the impression of Nectors in this republic, that the Brazilian government maintained a fair attitude on the racial question; a large part of the population has an admixture of Negro blood, and the civil rights and opportunities of all citizens have been maintained upon terms of impartial equality. That a change has come over the policy of the government, it would seem can no longer be disputed. Bishop W. A. Fountain, of the 18th Episcopal District, said, in a letter to the "Voice of Missions," upon his recent return from South America, which is included in his district, that no colored publication at all was permitted in any of the South American countries. The Brain and Brawn By Merril C. Smith It was a case of too much K. I. E. I. in the game between K. I. E. I. and Lincoln High School of Kansas City, Mo., last Saturday night on the Institute floor. Fast playing and improved team work together with a determination to win, made K. I. impervious to the attack of the Lincoln basketballers. The game ended with a score of 21 to 8 in favor of the Institute. However so many fools were chalked up against K. I., that had Lincoln's free thrower been accurate, a much larger score would have been registered in her favor. Coach Abbot is able to smile again after the wonderful improvement of his team since the W. U. K. I. game. FAST LINCOLN FIVE SNOWS VANDAL QUINTET UNDER Massey Woods a Thrilling Cage Man; Last Game Before Lions Go South. Philadelphia, Pa, Feb. 12. Things took a glorious hue for the Lincoln five in the beginning of the game. The Vandals, with "Long Legs" Lee full of At-menthe Coast ozone, had scored sixteen solits before the college boys seemed to know where they were. Some dozen hundred fans on the side lines were yelling for the boys to make their first points succeeded in caging a basket for his sourless team, and by the end of the first half the Vandals were leading by a mere of 22 to 18. Between the halves, Coach Law's units pulled themselves together, Trigg (K. M.) went in at left guard, Woods was shifftal to center, and Pollitt went in for Woods. This combination proved to be vindale for the Vandala. Tompkins and Trigg in guard forced the Vandala in with such superbe defence that in the final half they were unmatched to sack more than four baskets. Bill Howard, one of the best forwards of the east, was literally sewed up. The beauty of the thing was the sterling defense that was followed by a thrilling offense. The Lion team was shooting from all over the floor. Woods with aline field goals, Pollitt with air and Hammer with five more finding the page like martins find their nest. The STATUE OF LIBERTY Who Is Wrong? K. I. E. I. WINS By Geo. C. Anderson constant attack that the Defender has made upon lynching, violence and discrimination against Negroes has, no doubt, been called to the attention of the Brazilian authorities and this rich and extensive territory begins now, after years of fair treatment toward Negroes, o adopt and exercise the American policy of hatred and discrimination. "From every country throughout the world, events of this sort are being reported, and they should stimulate and perfect the unity of spirit, cooperation and determination on the part of the American Negroes to put the best they have in the race forward not only in this country but throughout the world, in an effort to stem this rising tide of prejudice." In the face of the above editorial and the reports printed in the Whip, a full figure picture of Mr. Abbott and his wife, together with an account of their departure for Brazil, appeared in last week's edition of the Chicago Defender. The two contemporaries of the Defender say that Mr. Abbott had to cancel his proposed South American trip; the Defender says he is already there or on his way there. Somebody is wrong. Who is it? That person who sends Topeka news out-of-town papers tothe exclusion of the Plaindealer certainly isn't increasing the respect of people of other towns for Topeka. No amount of preaching, no amount of exhortation can increase our faith in those Negro organizations, even churches, that turn their backs upon enterprises conducted by members of their race and then look to their race for moral and financial support. Of all the faults in the human race that should be condemned, selfishness is the greatest. 47-31 quite in hey favor. This is the last game before the Quaker State Five invade the south. The Lions, who begin with Hampton on Washington's Birthday, are not expecting easy piey. On the westerntrip, Wilberforce and the and the powerful Solendi will be encountered. Sol Butler, joint holder of the world's record for 40 yards, and former broad jump champion, has been suspended indefinitely from the Amateur Athletic Union for not attending a meeting of the registration committee. Jackson Schottz and Butler were notified to appear and explain why they did not appear to compete in meets for which they were scheduled to enter. Butler was in the west playing with the Chicago Defenders' New York team We had an interview with Williams of K. S. N. of Emporia. He is now training for the spring track meets which will be held at the various schools of the Kansas Conference. With his last year's record and his bright future he is a coming track and field star of our race. Watch our columns for information on this young athlete It is time for the hase ball fans to get their heads together. The groundloss has seen his shadow but the birds are beginning to sing. —0——0——0— I don't it funny how Mr. Muldoon could a'low such an infamous match as Willard vs. Floyd Johnson? "His Nibs," Mr. Muldoon stood out very prominent in his views (for some people) until he allowed the dethroned king to break one of the Commission's most stringent rules—the age limit. The New York Boxing Commission realizes the fact that Wills and Dempsey will fatten them more than four Willards and Johnson's affairs but that old "keep it in the family" idea is a real puzzle to them; in fact Wills is going to puzzle the world if they let him and Dempsey mix. In the game between Baker U. and the College of Emporia, a radical dissatisfied with the excellent playing of Hatfield, he was given have thought he was down in the parishes of Louisiana on a large peon farm. We well remember that another player once remarked something similar in a Conference game to one of our race and was almost suspended from the Conference. The laws of the Conference are vary bitter against abusive or insulting language and coaches that are playing our athletes are vigorously enforcing these laws. When the game closed C. of E. had 37 and Baker 24. Weight getting four field goals, totaling one-third of the points made by his team. PAXICO, KANSAS Sikl has been reinstated and the first thing he intends to do is to give dear Georges a return match and provs to dear Georges and others that he can really master Georges in the squared circle. He was reinstated Feb. 13th, the 20th anniversary of the French Boxing Commission. The Billy Tate has at last gotten tired of being robbed by white managers and has turned the management of his affairs over to Geo. Moore. Tate has signed articles to that effect. We are glad that he woke up to the fact that if anyone robs him, let be one of his own race for they will not want quite all of it. II. Carr, his former manager refused to give him an accounting.
