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.

Your article probably explains why the Association head pointers had never heard of Governor Davis' recommendation to the State legislature that the mob law of Kansas be changed to read "the members constitute a mob" instead of three. I, as President of the Parsons Branch, instructed our Secretary to wire headquarters of the Governor's commission, and Mr. Johnson at once wired and wrote Gov.
