THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Wedding Extravaganza Fills Big City Auditorium St. John Auxiliary Conducts Most Gorgeous Event Held This Season. Should Re-elect Hon. Wilbur A. Stanfield on His Excellent Record All of Topke's colored population turned out en masse to witness the big event extraordinary given by the Round About Club of St. John A. M. E. church, The Wedding Egstraganza, at the city Auditorium, Tuesday evening, Feb. 2, and to hear Prof. Jackson of Kansas City, Kansas, play the big pipes organ, and the Santa Fe Glee Club at their best. An added attraction in the shape of a new Ford Roadster advertised to be given to the holder of the lucky number, brought out a great number of others, who, perhaps, were not interested in the wedding. Seen from a spectator's standpoint, the affair was decidedly different from anything which has been given in Tosaka this season. In fact it is believed that the show surpassed the greatest expectations of the members themselves both in attendance and the gorgeousness of the performance. Instead of being a farce comedy as many had thought, the wedding part of the affair proved to be a gorgeous display of feminine wearing apparel and formal male attire exhibited to the soft strains of the wedding march. All of Should Re-elect Wilbur A. His Ex Mr. Wilbur A. Stanfield is a candidate for re-election as Commissioner of Water and Lights. His platform is good water, economy and strictly business. To the voters: Would you consider it good business to change your entire trained working organization every four years? The city water and electric light plant is YOUR BUSINESS, being successfully operated by a harmonious working organization. During his four year's supervision, your water department has collected $608,020.45 from water consumers. During that time he has had charge of the building and equipping of an entirely new water system in your city that is open for your inspection. KAPPA ALPHA PSI RENDER EXCELLENT PROGRAM The program rendered by the Kappa Alpha Pal Sunday afternoon at the Forum was said to be one of the best of this season. The addresses by the various members as well as the soils and other vocal numbers came in for a big aplause. The historical sketches gave the audience a knowledge of the fraternity which was interesting to them in every detail. The Forum is open to the public and they are taking advantage of the very pleasing diversion it offers each Sunday afternoon. OUNG MEN FILL PULPIT In keeping with his reputation as a benefactor of the young people, Rev. J. R. Ransom, pastor of St. John A. M. E. church, turned his Sunday evening services over to the young men of the church. There were several speakers, among whom were Messrs. Kirk, Brown, House, Williams and a young man, recently discharged from the army. The speaker of the evening was Master DeFrances Williams, a student at Warburn College. His subject, "The soul of Black Folks," was well treated, and delivered with a fervent oratorical effect. The same oration won for the speaker a large cash prize and a scholarship while he was in the high school. Two additions to the membership of the church ended an excellent day of worship and service. Mr. Ralph Chilton and Miss Trettler Marilis of Kansas City, Ms. motored to the city Sunday and spent the day with Mr. and Mrs. T. G. Reeves on Kansas Avenue. avaganza City Auditorium acts Most Gorgeous Event this Season. the characters in the performance were men, and those in female attire equalled the great Julian Elings at his best. Before the performance, Prof. Jackson, head of the Department of Music at Western University, Quindaro, Kansas, entertained the vast audience to a reital on the pipe organ, assisted by a barytone soldier from Kansas City. After the performance, the Satna Fe Gloe Club rendered several vocal selections. So well did they please their auditors that encore after encore was demanded. The whole thing was really meritorious and the Plaindealer would like to give due credit to those responsible for the success of the occasion, but the performers were too bashful to let their names be published as the reporter was told by everyone from whom he tried to get assistance, that the president of the club had ordered hat no names were to be given for publication. It is estimated that there were over 2,000 people present for the enjoyment of the performance. An unusual number of white people were also present. et Hon. Stanfield on excellent Record mechanical and electrical engineer and a tax payer in your city, having had charge of some of the largest plants in the city. Do you want a man who knows every angle of the water and electric light business to serve you? He would like mighty well to complete his program of giving Tepeka a better water service and fire protection than it has ever had in its history. Does his record of service, efficiency and economy warrant your voting for him for another term. His financial follows: Received in 1918, $115,392.59; Received in 1922, $221,042.12; gain in four years with 1905 rates, $105,021.62. These figures graphically to Mr. Stanfield's efficiency. CALVARY BAPTIST CHURCH Bv M.A.P. Services were well attended Sunday morning at Calvary, Rev. W. H. Young delivered an excellent sermon, his subject being, God is Love. Text, 1st John 10th chapter and 8th verse. The order of baptism was given immediately after the sermon. At this time ten people ere baptised. New additions for the day numbered nineteen. The Young people of Calvary met at the close of the morning session and organized a memorial club. CALVARY PRFSBYTEBIAN CHURCH BURNS BADLY Colsary Presbyterian church was partly destroyed by fire Thursday morning, Feb. 22, about 10 o'clock. The loss amounted to nearly $1,000.00, which is entirely covered by insurance. Services are being held in the Presbyterian Manse temporarily. CHETOPA. KANSAS By Mrs. Brysses R. Sutka Mr. Lawrence Coleman was somewhat indisposed last week. Messrs. Melvin Hudson, Willard Jones called on him last Friday. Mr. and Mrs. Willie Fravier are entertaining their daughter, Mrs. Henry Clay of Casper, Wroxing. Messrs. P. Lincoln, S. Crowder, F. W. Manuel, R. Bassett, Marlon Dial and Willard Jones did well in their debate Friday night at the literary. Many friends of Mrs. Dan Coleman regret to know that she is ill. Mr. Harry Dial is poorly and her many friends extend sympathy. Mrs. Robert Dial attended the meeting of State Officials of the Woman's Mission, which convened in Leavenworth. Mrs. H. A. Thompson of Oswego visited Mrs. Ulysses R. Smith during the week end. Mrs. Henry Randall returned from his The most elegant and elaborate party given by young club members of Topeka was attended Friday evening by between 150 and 175 happy couples who spent the evening with various games and dancing, the feature dance being the "Hlota Moonlight Waltz," which was commended by all. The hall was very beautifully decorated with club colors and other light hues that denote youth and beauty, extending from every corner of the spacious Metropolitan Temple, to each large chandelier whose glaring lights were imprisoned by the interwoven class colors. Among the out of town guests who attending were; Misses Hazel Bell, Era Johnson, Eresel Wilson, Dorothy Taylor, Oretta Adams, Josephine Clark, and Thelma Halm, all of Lawrence, Kansas. Other out of town guests were; Miss Cleo Taylor, of Atchison, Kansas; and members of the Kappa Alpha Pol of Lawrence. Duke's Orchestra furnished the music for the party. "My Heart Is Inditing a Good Matter" By J. E. Mason, Musakogce, Okla. The Protestant churches of America set aside Sunday, February 11th, for a preachment to better racial relations. The very act itself betrayed the weakness of our boasted civilization and the much prating about Christianity. Millions of dollars are being expended annually to civilize the heathen in foreign lands. There is not a heathen country under the sun that burns human flesh in the public streets as a mode of punishment because that victim is not of their race. With all the propaganda that has been seen out the last century there is a growing suspicion that the white man's religion on the part of thinking Negroes. The whole thing cares in when you place the straight edge of Christianity along side of his conduct towards the Negro. Some people get comfort, by not allowing themselves to think seriously about such matter and pose as optimists. This community has lost several of its most respected citizens. Dr. M.J. L. Banks, Jim Smith, Rev. Hale, Mrs. Walker, Rev. Honford, Garfield Williams, and Sister Lighter and a score of others. The Business League of Muskogee is doing much to promote the good of the city and the establishment of industries. The Legal Protection Association is one of the best organizations in the state. The purpose of this organization is to give legal protection to all of its members. Mr. David La Twine is the president and is pushing this organization to the front. Slowly but surely the Negroes are learning that life does not consist all together of protracted meetings and local shouting and windy sermons. Much of this protracted effort can be suspended in order that we may get the ballot and better educational conditions for our child in. There seems to be a well defined effort among our ministry to keep the Negroes excited about death. In so doing they are making the path for the insurance man quite easy. The lie broke loose this time in Chicago about Mexico not wanting the Negro in that country. Some old stuff again. No noble Negro will for a minute take the report seriously. The lie had its intention on State Street. They had hoped the Negro preachers would swallow the bait with their usual quillability, but the lie was so patent that even the ministry faded to bite. Join the Silk and Burial League. They are to furnish nurse and doctor, and bury you if you die. A mighty fine movement if properly conducted. The colored people are certainly leave- Mr. T. R. Colherson of Chetopa High School is in adjournment. Measura Frank Irl Patterson, B. A. and Charles Dial were the judges for the debate at Literary Friday night and rendered a wise decision. Mrs. Julia Bassett has been indisposed Mrs. Joan Dial returned from Parramatta accompanied by her granddaughter, Nedline, who attends the Douglas school. We are Newman and family have been suffering from the flu. Mrs Chas Daily called on Mrs. Newman last Sunday. Mrs. Jane Johnson entertained her circle club at 4 Wlock last Friday afternoon. Mrs. Robert Dial stormed by Pittalune and visited her sister, Mrs. Joe Wallace, The Plainindaler is dedicated to the service of all the people in dispensing news. It does not favor any group or individual at the expense of others. Its purpose is to present news of interest to the largest possible number of people. It is the right of any newspaper to publish things in which the public at large has an interest, the efforts of its antagonists to the contrary, notwithstanding. RURAL SCHOOLS HOLD CONTEST The rural schools met Feb. 22 in several districts to compete for the championship in spelling. The following schools met at Highland Park: High Rural, Belleview, Clover Hill, Avondale, Highland Park and Pierce. Douglas McIntosh from the Sixth grade of Pierre School won first place. He will compete with other children from all the schools in the county for championship. The contest will be held at the Court House March tenth. ling the south. They can see no hope so long as they are denied the ballot. Optimism comes to be a virtue. They have whatatated every moral precept. The flu has made vacant many a fireside in the last thirty days. The death of Mr. Jim Smith, Johnson, the undertaker, Rev. Hue, the mother of Mrs. J. W. Adams, Dr. L. M. Banks, Garfield Williams and a host of others. Yet we can hardly get accustomed to death. The White Front is again putting on new life. The better class of the city has ever looked upon this building with much pride. It represents the Minkogee Negro when he was at his best. It is a kind of official hallroom. The general overhauling and cleaning has made the place again desirable for light housekeeping and offices. Mrs. Mariah White, formerly of Hope, Arkansas, has the management. Negroes are still leaving the south in large numbers. They have started the old campaign of lies. The scare-crowds won't work this time. Let the preachers be low, the poorn owners threat and the press its muckraking. The Negroes are quitting the south. They are scattering over the face of the earth. Three hundred years in the south is enough to convince any fool there is no hope. He is lying pushed along by an indescribable force. After all that has been said about aristocratic politicians, I don't see where the Negro is being considered. It seems to be a settled fact that we are to be considered any more than the people in T'um'um'um or Petrograd. It seems to me that we are just "going round and round" shouting, singing and preaching to keep from thinking arrogantly. The members over at the First Baptist church have been skating on their gums because they heard a series of good sermons. The thing that made it appear so everlastingly serious with them was the fact that it broke the monotony of a nothing church squalid. The Baptist preachers began to fear leaving town very long for fear that on returning the pulpit "has been declared vacant." The big steal by certain officers of the Methodist church is the talk of the community. It has been impossible for the members of the church to get the data until quite recently. But the prescint pastor has chased every check for the last five years. Much stench is expected at the conference as many of the previous pastors are in the steal. Will a man steal from God? It is here answered in the affirmative. and daughter, Genevieve, who is attend line college. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Dial visited Mr. Dial's mother, Mrs. Harry Dial, last Sunday. Mrs. Henry La Edmonda is expected home soon from her trip from Dumville. Illinois where she visited her son, Newton, and wife. Mrs. I Jasper come from Dumville City accompanied by her sister, Mrs. Eva Wood. Mrs. Carrie Tydle of Fort Scott is visiting her daughter, Mrs. Adel Beasett and family. Miss Fisa Horton visited Mrs. Adel Beasett Sunday. If you have any news please send it 41 Hon. Frank L. Stevens Seeks Re-election as Commissioner of Finance Hon. Frank L. Stevens Seeks Re-election as Commissioner of Finance THE NEW YORK TIMES CHARITY GIRLS ENTERTAIN One of the enjoyable affairs of the season was the annual Washington's Birthday Party given by the Twelve Chrity Girls at the Metropolitan Hall last Thursday evening. The hall was very beautifully decorated and the Music furnished by Duke's Orchestra could hardly be improved upon. In keeping with the significance of the occasion, the members of the club were dressed in costumes representing the early colonial period. Each member seemed to have some special duty to perform, such as selling confetti, selling punch, etc. One of the noteworthy features of the affair was the special effort on the part of the Girls to see that all of their patrons enjoyed themselves. As the name of the club indicates, the proceeds from the entertainment will go toward the assistance of those who are in need of charitable assistance. BEST WISHES FOR EDITOR CREWS We are hoping that Editor Nelson C. Crews of the Kansas City Sun will receive from his serious illness. He is one of the great race men who is fighting for the 'right' of his people. Whatever progress that has been made by the race in Missouri, Editor, Crews is entitled to the lion's share. He, like Frederick Douglas of the days of 'oil', who went over the country and Europe crying for freedom, has gone over the state of Missouri and these United States demanding citizenship' rights for his race. He was known as one of the finest orators on the rostrum. to the correspondent, Mrs. Joseph Datterson, of Route 6, is such a very well at this writing. The primary class of St Paul Chapel rendered a Lincoln Program after the Sunday School during the absence of their teacher, Miss Mabal Harrel, supervised by Mrs. Ylyssa R. Smith, the Story Teller for the members of the Cradle Roll. At the Douglas School Primary Department those making good attendance; Clara Wilson, Edward Whitemire, Albert Wilson, Wilma Wilson, Cormne Newman, Anna Harrel, Wayne Whitemire, Eugene Horton, Roberta Whitemire, Wayman Cooper and William Cooper. EMPORIA, KANSAS By A. L. D. A light shower of rain fell here Sunday night and Monday morning. A general ensemble of fol. la gripppe pumphonia, spotted fever and whipwag cough is awakening the town; it has no impact of parrot and a great many are ill. The death angel has visited our city and taken from our midst one of the mothers in Israel. The following obituary tells graphically who she was. Sister Loving Armstrong was born about 1841 and died Feb. 20, 1923 being about 62 years old. She became a Christian at the age of 12 years joining the church and lived an earnest Christian life every since. Her funeral was held at St. James the last church of which she was a mem- ber. PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR Mr. Frank L. Stevens, candidate for re-election for Commission of Finance and Revenue, has made and is making good and is using the same slogan he used when first elected. He is capable, courteous, and conservative and has handled over a million dollars in bonds at a premium, showing Topeka to be a good city to live in and the people have faith in her future. Such men as Mr. Stevens are needed to fill such official positions. He is as interested in the city getting every penny that can be gotten out of her bonds as well as the economical appropriations. He is without opposition. The voters and tax payers are contented to let well enough alone and without disturbance. Services are conducted by Rev. C. M. Watson, assisted by Rev. Everitt of the A. M. E. church, Rev. Hodges of the C. M. E. church and Rev. Storey of Eldonado, Kansas She was the mother of sixteen children five of whom survive her, four sons and one daughter. She was a loving and devoted mother, a consistent Christian and a loyal and upright citizen in the community. To know her was to love her, she scattered discer and sunshine everywhere she went among all people regardless of color. The love of her friends was shown in the many beautiful floral offerings and designs which covered the casket. Her funeral was beautiful because she had lived the life and walked in the narrow way. She is not dead but sleeping; she has exchanged her cross for a crown. The body of Dave Williams, formerly of this town, was brought home Tuesday evening. He was a soldier in the regular army. Services we held at Dumm's Chapel. Burial in Maple Hill Cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Carter are rejoicing over the arrival of a nine pounds baby, to whom they have given the name of Mary Louise Marriott. Mother and baby are doing fine. Rev. S. A. Williams passed through here Tuesday evening enroute home. He is pastor of St. John Baptist church in Salma, Kansas. He preached to a splendid appreciat ve audience Tuesday night at St. James Baptist church. Everyone went alone feeling lifted up and declaring Rev. Williams a very able forceful minister. Mrs. O. Flowers is still confined to her home with pneumonia, the after-effect of flu. Her daughter, Mrs. Sarah Smith, of Tristow, Oklahoma, is here with her. Mr. and Mrs. Calvin Woods are both on the sick list. Mr. Frank Cheatom suffered a slight stroke of paralysis this week but is much improved. Mr. Steve Watson is on the sick list. Mr. Walter Phoenix, hostler at the round house, who was painfully burned in the face and eyes, is able to return to work again. Mr. Idia Walker of Lawrence is here visiting relatives and friends. The revival services at the C. M. E. church is conducted by Mrs. Russell. Mr. E. Terry who has been sick several weeks with Bright's disease, is not much better at this time. Theodore Gandy is very sick with the flu at this time, he has been confined to his bed for about a week being threatened with pneumonia. Mr. Fernando Jefferson has gone from St. Mary's Hospital where he was being treated for pneumonia. It is reported that he he has a back set and is in his he again. Mr. T. Epps, junior at the Baptist church is on the sick list and unable to be out. His wife is also sick.

P., I would like to ask this question through the columns of your paper, so that all the members of the Association, as well as other members of the true community comment upon it. What can the people of Topeka on the N. A. A. C. P. do toward bettering the public schools of Topeka? Now, Mr. Anderson, of the Lion N. K. Charles will consent, I will also to have him publish his views, for as we better and broaden our schools, we are broadening the scope of our children's possibilities and making it possible for them to advance farther and more. As some would put it, "shy by day, and in every way, our children should grow water and wiger The Chicago Whip has taken upon itself the stupendous task of "cleaning up" Chicago—a most commandable effort. Yet we cannot see where in anything is to be gained by the constant attacks on its largest contemporary. The following clipping sounds to those of us who live on the "outer run" as if someone on the staff of the Whip has a personal grudge against someone on the Defender: "The City of Chicago has joined in a vane war whi' this paper has been waging for the last six months. Every statement and every point of accusation that we have made has been verified and justified. Last Sunday one hundred thousand of Chicago's citizens poured on the right. Sir Abbott of the Defender has deputed for parts known and the world's greatest work." It is still silent. Then we wonder why we are distrusted. Somebody page Mr. Abbott, great editor, if ever his name be led him it is now. The city has bound our city, the "Mace human Appal" come over and he puts. The Whip knows perfectly well that it has been announced in the Defender that Mr. and Mrs. Abbott has gone to Paris.

P. tion thro per. so t Alvance other met upon it THE BEACON LIGHT By Geo. C. Anderson the City of Chicago upon. Mr. Anderson will find it difficult to ingratiate himself in the hearts of the people. He has been placed in the balance and found wanting. He is positively unfit to hold public office and if he is re-elected to hold public office the black people of Chicago will be grievously injured. The world is watching us and may God give us the courage to do the right by all concerned." We have no comment to make except to state that Mr. Anderson is conceded to have done more for colored people in and around the City Hall of Chicago than all of the other aldermen combined and that the gentlemen who is said to have paid him the fifteen thousand dollars is or was a candidate for Mr. Anderson's office. ---1--- ---1--- ---2--- Sometimes, though, the Whip publishes some constructive thoughts; for instance the following: "If any one indication of progress and advancement by black people stands out in brilliance it is in the newspapers that they are publishing. Our papers are dealing with the affairs of life with more deftness and tact than heretofore, the scope of the news is extended, the articles are better written and the general appearance is so decidedly improved that the white world is astounded when they peruse our best papers." The work of the press is worthy of mollish communication and hope rises in the breasts of the who have become doubtful. The press of the black people is vital to building up a new psychology among them and is presenting us to our enemies in a devised new 1911. The press is living the way for a new freedom of thought and also a broader conception of our possibilities in economic, political and social affairs. Three charts for the press! One of the many things in which we as a race, is woefully ill known is the proper appreciation of things being done by members of our race. To often we are blinded by the fact that the "other fellow" calls for two cents less, or some number of the other race is able to do our work for fifty cents less, without once thinking of what it means to our children as the editor of the newspaper when he tells his readers: There are those among us who still cling rather too firmly to the old id that we should hope to owe protection of trust and responsibility in our careers which others have left it and which now need our lives. We are still paying any such hope what will not happen. If Negroes in large numbers ever hope to pay our citations, to be free to apply to such institutions they must foster and maintain them thus as converers will be taken to others. We always bear run for their benefit if we are employed in them it will be those of like race as those who own and create them, others are merely employed in consideration * * * This truth should come home with striking force to all of us. If we hope for large and promising careers we must build them; if we hope to to destroy positions of trust and responsibility we must do so them. They will once be made way. "We have little opportunity. We need no more of that. We need rather the vision and too will to content ourselves with the building of our concerns by loyalty, patriotism and liberty support." We earnestly comment the above of historical to those of our churches, lodges and other organizations here in Topeka and controlled for and by Negroes, that pitifulize white persons be ausculted people so that in one line "annot compete" of our colored people can't compete in lyhng, segregating, etc., when Negroes give white people all of their complaints with which to practice these favorite forms of Amerlian prejudice.
