THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Bishop Vernon Addresses Kansas State Legislature Eminent Divine to Return to St. John A. M. E. Church Wednesday, March 14th. Bishop W. T. Vernon of Quindaro, to speak again before the legislature ad Kansas, who has just begun to recover journals. From a very serious operation came to Topeka for a day Tuesday. He was the guest of Rev. J. R. Ransom, pastor of St. John A. M. E: church. While here the Bishop addressed the State Legislature and the members of At St. John Tuesday night the Bishop told of his work in South Africa, and held his hearers in rapt attention, as he recited the wonderful things some of our people are doing in Africa and of the abject ignorance and heathenism ```markdown ``` Bishop Vernon is a nationally known character, the founder of Western University at Quindaro, former President of Campbell College in Mississippi and former Register of the Treasury, and pow Bishop in the A. M. E. church assigned to South Africa. So well was his address received by the Legislators that some of them expressed a desire for him THE NEW YORK TIMES Mrs. Wilbur A. Stanfield, Candidate for Moe election as Commissioner of Water and Lights. BIG BETHEL TO BE REBUILT Atlanta Ga. March 4—Big Bethel A. M. E. church in Atlanta, Ga., a three hundred thousand dollar church edifice was totally destroyed by fire Friday af- ternoon, Feb. 10th. It is said to have been the largest and most costly church building south of the Mason and Dixon line owned by our group, and it had but few if any equals in the country. The work on this structure was begun some thirty years ago, and was finished a few months ago. It was built of the famous stone mountain granite with its tower reaching nearly two hundred feet high, with a set of chimes having recently been placed therein at a cost of about twenty-five thousand dollars. A noted architect of the race has been selected by the pastor and trustees of the church to design the new five hundred thousand dollar church structure which will be built as soon as the plans are completed. It is pleasing to see the ministers, professional men, insurance companies, societies and corporations are learning to patronize our architects and builders, for too many of them have been going out of their way to give to other groups the work of our race. The committee on the annual thanksgiving sermon of the Knights of Pythias and the Court of Calanthe will meet at the Knights of Pythias Hall, Wednesday evening, March 14. or others. He is one of the men who is anxious to see his work completed and is planning to go back to Africa next fall if he has sufficiently regained his health. Rev. J. D. Barkadale, editor of the Western Christian Recorder, preceded Bishop Vernon and made a pleasing talk. Bishop Vernon is scheduled to speak at Sp. John A. M. K. church nqxt Wednesday night, March 14th. The Birthday of Frederick Douglas was very fittingly observed at the Shiloh Baptist church on Friday evening, Feb. 10th. The program was opened by singing America. The following program was then carried out: Invocation, Rev. S. J. Williams; Vocal Solo, Mr. Baxter C. Duke, Haws Ian Gintur Solo, Miss Minnie Overstreet; Vocal Solo, Mr. Roger Burton. The address of the evening was delivered by Rev. J. R. Ransom of St. John A. M. E. church. Rev. Ransom spoke in his own way of the life of Douglas and told of his hardships, privations and his strong determination to climb to the top of the ladder of fame which should be an example to the younger generation to follow. A large and appreciative audience was in attendance, which showed their passion toward the man of their own race who had fallen. An elaborate banquet followed the program. The celebration was under the auspices of the City Federation of Women's Club. ANDREW MEMORIAL HOSPITAL ANNOUNCES CLINICAL SOCIETY Tuskegee, Ala, Feb. 19.—The following announcement has been sent out to the members of the medical profession from the John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital here: Our 12th annual clinic and 5th annual meeting of the John A. Andrew Clinical Society will be held April 2nd to 7th, 1923. We assume that the activities of this society are so well known that it is hardly necessary for us to give extensive information at this time. We are arranging a program of papers, lectures and clinical demonstrations, both medical and surgical, which we believe will leave little to be desired by those who attend. At this time we are pleased to name an special attractions, Dr. R. H. Miller, of the surgical staff, Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston, and Dr. Wm. R. Breed, of the staff of Internal medicine. Others will be announced later. The announcement is signed by John A. Kenney, Medical Director. Word has been received of the death of Mrs. Louisa Killon, Chicago, Illinois, sister of Mr. G. W. Burns, which occurred Thursday of last week. Elect Hon. J. H. Lee to Topeka School Board The voters should not forget the School Board on primary election day. This is very important. They have the supervision of the school buildings, school property and teachers. So it behooves us to elect competent people to serve and when we can find a business man who will sacrifice his time to give the patrons what is necessary, to make good schools, we should rally to them. Mr. J. H. Lee, President of the Kansas State Reserve Bank, is a member and the people should see that he is retained on the board. He is one of the nearest and safest business in the West. His Banking and Building Loan Association, and his extensive cattle business keep him very busy. Yet through kindness and the interest he has in education, he is making the sacrifice. He is much interested in the water proposition which is very essential. There is no reason why the Topeka Public Schools should pay water rent for each school. Why not pay for the entire system on one rating. Mr. Lee is in favor of economy. PRESENTS PUPILS IN RECITAL Mrs. Dora Alexander is still conducting her music studio at the Y. M. C.

Only a question of majority. COLORED WOMEN SHOULD RAISE MORE CHICKENS Why don't colored women go into the poutrtn business? We would like to have the name of every colored woman that is using the incubator. We venture the assertion that you can't find over ten in the entire county and not more than twenty-five in the whole state. Our women should wake up. White women are earning plenty of money at this children business. If our women would not gossiping, clubbing, card playing, and dancing so much and out out the grapefine telephone and buy an incubator and begin raising young chicks, they would do much better as some of "we don't want to raise anything at all—not even a baby child. So they might try using an incubator. WESERTN COLLEGE NEWS LETTER On Wednesday, Feb. 21st, the members of the Dramatic and Musical Department of Western College gave a program at Rev. J. W. Jenkins' church. There was quite a large attendance. The receipts were $141.15. On Tuesday, Feb. 27th, the Mission Circle of Western College gave a program for the benefit of the Boiler Fund. Students and teachers gave their assistance toward helping to sell sandwiches, chili, ice cream and coffee, and altogether everyone boasted a wonderful time.

Thursday, July 29, the Basket Ball team, have played the K, C, G, A, Club team and won. While they fought hard in every game they played this season, this was the first game in which they were victorious. The game was tied 17-17 when the playing time was over, in the tip off during the additional five minutes "Newt" Allen tipped the ball in our basket, making the score 19-17. The final score was 20-10. The girls played their first game Friday afternoon at the "Y" against Summer High School. Basket Ball is really quite new to our girls, and we believe that in our next game the girls will at least keep their opponents from piling up such a large score. Last week we received a box from Mrs. J. L. Griffin, 1924 Woodland Apt. and another box from Mrs. W. B. Jackson, California, Missouri, Mrs. E. C.

Moderate price THE BEACON LIGHT ALPHA OR OMEGA? Every one in a while someone takes a fling at the college fraternities. Usually what is said is in the nature of a criticism based upon some alleged campade of some of the members. It has been a long time since we have heard of any colored person or paper assailing our college fraternities, but now comes the Chicago Whip with a serious inflictment of college fraternities and their members. Although we are not familiar enough with these bodies to know of their aims or workings to say whether the arraignment contained in the scorching editorial referred to is true or untrue, we do believe that the officers and members of the various fraternities cwe it to themselves as well as their numerous admirers to refute the statements made by the Whip when it says: "As our young men emerge from the great seats of learning which dot the land from coast to coast we find them handed together in traditionally classic Greek letter societies. They represent the Alpha and the Omega of our educated men. They purport to be the first and the last in character, intellect and achievement. After them there is no more. A serious question now arises as to whether they are the first or the last; and if first, first in what? If last, last in what? Are our Greek letter men Alpha or Omega? "These young men leave their cloistered and by-colored college palls fired with a burning real to "carry on" in after life to glorious achievement the Utopian theories they have discussed across the round table. They pledge themselves solemnly with deep and mysterious oaths. They swear to inviolable vows of everlasting fraternity. These men, by reason of their vows, their brains, their culture, and their organization, should be the mighty and moving nucleus to energize every public effort for the best interests of the Black People. These men should, right of their pre-eminent equipment, be in the vanguard in every battle for the rights of a downtrodden and struggling race. They should be the leaders in thought and action in every crisis that calls for men of decision. They have the right to claim for themselves the distinction of being that "active minority" which should always decide the destiny of any group race, or nation. "But where do we find our Alpha men, our Omega men, our Alche and Omega men? We find them in a heated wrangle as to the whether the correct dress after six o'clock in a dinner coat or an evening frock. We find them seriously discussing the patterns of the latest crest". They are experts when weaving in and out of the most intricate steps of the newest dance. They also have learned the secret of the buttonholes in the coat sleeves of the "Master Lover of the Screen", but they have failed to fathom the hearts of their struggling brothers in blood. They have neglected to heed the call for earnest and intelligent leadership. They have danced merely while their people became the helpless prey of the hungry wolves of public and Brain and Brawn Bv M…11 . ~ 1th TWO COLORED TRAINERS ENGAGED BY N.

HAMPTON DEFEATS LINCOLN Hampton, Va.-Edinco's University, fresh from her victory over the mighty Vandals of Atlantic City, and filled with confidence, invaded Hampton's region on Washington's Birthday, and lost to the home team, 20 to 26. Although Edinco did not play the By Geo. C. Anderson political life. "They dance, they sing, they fiddle, and Rome is burning down! While they argue over the invitation list to the next "frat" bill, twelve million black men and women are being tossed about on the angry and furious sea of race hatred. As they engage in friendly rivalries as to which fraternity boasts "the swellest bunch of fellows," the jackals of finance are desourcing their economic fabric, and political leeches are sucking their blood, and having bled them white, play them as pawns across the checkerboard of political strategy. Men who are fitted neither by character, intellect, nor background, have usurped the positions of leadership. The places of the mighty are filled by schemers and despoilers, but the "frat boys" dance widely and heedlessly on. When the clarion call is sounded for men of courage and determination to rise up and fight for truth, justice, and self-respect, our Greek, letter men cannot find the time. "Again the question comes: If these Greek letter men are first and last, if they really are Alpha and Omega, in what are they first, and in what are they last? Let it not be said of them longer that they are merely first in all the social amenities and proprieties, but last in all activities attiring for the public welfare. Let it not be justly charged that they are Alpha in the non-essentials, but Omega in survival values. Let the accusation no longer be hurled by a disappointed people that they are Alpha in nothing that means anything, and Omega in anything that means nothing! Let our fraternity men be Alpha and Omega in everything that means anything!" The Crisis in a lengthy enumeration of the arms and object of the N. A. A. C. P. for the coming year, supports our contention that the local branch is not doing its full duty in that they are doing none of the things enumerated. We still contend that the public, upon whose support the Association depends, is entitled to a public announcement through all the mediums at their command, of meetings, and a full account of what transpired at that time. Recent: a lady member of a church club, and a teacher in the public schools, made the statement to us, that the Plaindealer, had been so generous in giving the club free publicity that they thought some of their advertising should be paid for. In accordance with this idea the Plaindealer was given a small order for snace to advertise a recent entertainment this club held. Although a special price was made because of the fact that it would be helping a worthy cause to do so, it was stated to us that the club was dissatisfied because we "overcharged." When we stopped to consider that a great many of the members of this same club are teachers to whom we entrust the responsibility of teaching the fundamentals to the young of the race, we could only how our head in sorrow. he did when she defeated Hamp- a Philade'i in January, she put deepate and strenling fight.
