She was one of the first to assist in teaching the Topeka Plaindealer and traveled extensively over several states where she secured hundreds of readers and made many friends. She attended the public schools of Topeka. She went to Colorado Springs, Colorado, in 1911 on account of her health.

WILLA SMITH By Tra Smith Monday morning, March 12th, the telegraph brought us the news of the passing of one of our dearest friends, Miss Willa T. Smith, which occurred at her pictureque home, 311 Castilla Ave., Colorado Springs, Colorado. As we scanned the lineae "Willa passed away today," a shade of sadness hovered over our little house; and each of us silently turned to one thing or another in a vain effort to supreme a tear. But why weep? Why be sad? The life just closed marks the advent into a new, in that beautiful "Land of Beginning Again," where burden bearers of a sinful world peacefully rest in the place that He went away to prepare for them, promising the faithful that He would return again and receive them to His own. Yet we are but human, and Distance assurance of a happier, brighter day, though lessening our sadness does not stop the the flow of tears when one we lovel and cherished so dearly crosses between the cold and barren peaks of — Vote for J. H. Lee for Short Term Member of the School Board. He is writing his first term. O For Commissioner of Water and Lights WILBUR A. STANFIELD. an eternity from whence no traveler ever returns and thus our heart grieces for a dear old pal- a comrade-in-arms of some five and twenty years. The wound will heal in time, but there will ever linger a memory as sweet and refreshing as a dew drop to a perishing rose. Her part was well played in life's great drama, and untimely as it may seem, when the curtain was rung down, she bowed a final exit to a world that will be better on account of her having dwelled therein. She loved freedom and her proud head would never bend in obedience to anything compromising with obnoxious and insulting, laws set up by the white world for the purpose of degrading and hindering the progress of her race, and she proved a stubborn foe at every turn of the road, going into the South when the very atmosphere was stifling with smoke from the funeral pyre, and the air pregnant with the stench of burning flesh. This was back in the 90's when with an armful of Topeka Plaindelers she journeyed into Georgia, Alabama and her birthplace, South Carolina, where she spent several months holding sloft the torch of manhood rights, and placed the fearless journal into hundreds of homes. It was the one achievement of her life that she looked upon with pride, and in her declining health she often garrow down through the years and would relate many incidents of word contaminate in which she routed the persecutory of her race. The Topeka Plaindealer is the proud and living monument to her thrift, energy and enterprise, and it is to her whom it owe's its present popularity throughout the South. With her brother-in-law, Hom, Nick Chiles, she officiated at the burning of the great Plaindealer and it was while struggling to place that journal at the top that she overtaxed herself and some ten years also her health gave way, and she was forced into retirement. With her faithful sister, Mrs. Lucille Jordan, she went to Colorado Springs where she hoped against hope that the air and health-giving waters would restore her to her former self. She purchased a beautiful home overlooking Pikes Peak and the scenic grounds of the Printers Home, and it was here that she breathed her last. "Miss Smith was a lovable character and possessed the happy faculty of making friends quickly and holding them, and today there is a sad heart in every section of the country, and her sacred remains sleep beneath a wildness of flowers—tokens of esteem and repent from every and corner of the country. Her life's race has been run, and through the mist of tears and sadness, we hear her any: "Forth with its dark and dreadful illis Recedes and fades away." hecedes and jades away, I'll up your heads ye heavenly hills! Ye gates of death, give way! My soul is full of whispered song, My blindness is my sight. The shadows that I foared so long Are all alive with light. Then while my pulses faintly beat, My faith doth so abound I feel grow firm beneath my feet The green immortal ground. That faith to me a courage gives, Low as the grave to go. I know my redeemer lives. And I shall live to know. The palace walls I almost see, Where dwells my Lord and King. Oh grave where is thy victor? Oh death where is thy sting!" ALFRED G. LEWIS Alfred G. Lewis, candidate for Commissioner of Finance says the city is in need of a business man in that office; one who has business experience; one who was brought up along business lines. The city should have such people at the head of their affairs as well as great corporations. It means the saving of thousands of dollars to the taxpayers. Here is his platform: Executive board fitness and financial accounting require initiative and better ending research. The "know how" to dig, and think broadly in terms of efficiency—set better conditions—better results for less expensive costs—how to stop leaks,igglery, kills. How to cut out the "if" and "cannot"—how to be a greater instead of a trailer. How to produce efficiency Efficiency means: Resourceful action, business transaction on business finance economy everywhere—strict accounting prompt reports. Economy requires.

Stewart of 39 Wagner street, has announced his candidacy for a very important position—Commissioner of Parks, and I know he will make a good man for the place. I have watched his wk as conteraker for several years and know he understands the needs of these beauty spots of Topoka. Children's Park has been sadly neglected. This park was donated by a local woman who wished the city to improve it for the women and children. I went to our present Commissioner about this park he would give me no satisfaction, and he has been tried and has failed to do anything for us. Mr. Stewart says dislike the appropriation not give it all to one or two parks. What we want is service and he is the only experienced man in the field. The taxpayers and voters should look to this and give him their support. —A voter and a taxpayer of the sixth ward.

"A man," he said, "to succeed today must not only do good work, but do it rapidly." This time in almost every business. And because it is true, preparation for a business career is far more difficult than it has ever been. You can learn to work rapidly and accurately as well, but to do so, you must train very intensively. It is easy enough to make quick decisions. It is possible to make correct decisions. But no man who does not know his business down to the last detail can make correct decisions rapidly. Industry is running at top speed. No time is to be wanted. The executive who requires a week to praise up his palp about a change in his plant will not hold his job very long. Important decisions are made almost When One Thinks of HAIR and TOILET Preparations One, at the Same Time Thinks of Write Poro College, Poro Corner St. Louis, Mo. on the instant. But they are never made on the instant and made right unless a man can carry in his mind all the data on which to base them. Bigger jobs with bigger salaries and greater responsibilities are awaiting the young men now training for them. But none of them will ever be attained without the utmost skill and the most profound knowledge of the business that is to be followed. The work of the technical schools is harder than ever before because there is more to teach, and more that must be mastered clear down to the ground. If you expect to be one of the builders of the nation, pick out the names you want to follow and learn all there is to know about it. Don't ever try to judge rapidly or to work rapidly unless you know exactly what you are doing. Such judgment will result in a costly mistake, and one costly mistake will end your career as an executive—just one single mistake. Women's "Equality" Bill Favored By Employers St. Paul, Minn., March 17.—Employers of this state are favoring the so-called woman's "equality" now pending in the state legislature. The national women's party first proposed an amendment to the federal constitution, but is now making a campaign before state legislatures to remove the various inequalities against women. Trade unions always favored this plan, but the method now being employed, the workers declare, would wipe out all legislation favorable to working women. Organized sympathizers would remove the various cells by private enactment, rather than a blanket statute that would sweep away the good as well as the bad. "Manufacturers could never have that up such a good scheme as not working women," said former Congresswoman, Jeanette Rankin. "If we must talk equality let's talk equality of leisure, so that the girls in industry may have the time to be human. We can't have economic equality as logn as we have a system of slavery already taking the life of women in industry. This bill will remove every vestige of protection from women." A Line O'cheer B by John Kendrick Bangs. Trust I'd rather trust a man than not, I'd dark suspicion forgot, And if that he all my trust Hath gone into unworthy dust, I'll still be glad I trusted him Though my reward he harvest grim, Since I'll have done my best to win him, And prove what good he holds within him. Real Wisdom in Advice It was a also philosopher that invented this saying: "Live as if every moment were your last." If we could feel this advice what a different comparison the world would wear for us, instant's new values would spring into the mind. The common things of life would take on hue of brilliance. WHOLESOME FOOD FOR CHILD Where Given Quart of Milk and Butter on Bread Avoid All Kinds of Fatty Foods There is more than an ounce of fat (at least two and one-half level tablesmoonfuls) in a quart of whole milk. If the healthy child is given a quart of milk, and has butter, on his bread, he gets enough fat, and that which he receives is in wholesome form. OVERTON HOTEL 1735 Kansas Ave. Topeka W. P. Ray, Manager Accommodations First Class Rates Reasonable H. J. Stewart Candidate for Park Commissioner, who has had several years experience in beautifying the parks of TOPEKA. Department of Agriculture believes, not to give children such fatty food as pastry, fried meats, doughnuts or rich cakes as experience has shown that these fats are not in so good a form for them. If the child is constipated, the occasional use of a cream or salad oil is desirable for fat in abundance is laxative. All Around the House Stale slices of bread may be cut into squares and fried with bacon. Launcher white silk in lukewarm water, never hot, and it will not become yellow. Cake that has become dry may be crieped in the oven and used as the foundation for a dainty fruit and cream dessert. The Kitchen Cabinet To thine own self be true and it must follow as the night the day, thou cannot not be false to any man.
