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. Little Paul Arthur Bennett is just recovering from a serious attack of hic- roughs at the residence of his parents, 31r. and Mrs. Arthur Bennett, on East 15th street. can get one under the circumstances. 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.

Having the experience, I can save the tax payers money and give them service they would have to pay out otherwise for one who has to depend entirely upon the judgment of others, not knowing whether the city was getting a square deal or not.

AGED WOMAN MEMBER OF ORIGINAL KLAN REGRETS ATTEMPT AT REORGANIZATION NUMBER OF IN REGRETS REORGANIZATION Council Bluffs, Iowa, Feb. 14—Mrs. Eliza Fiechla, a famous confederate pay and the only member of the original Ku Klux Klan, helped bury the order after it had served its purpose in the days of the civil war, says she regrets that it has again risen from the grave. 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."
