THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER WAYSIDE CHIPS By Nick Chiles At Carthage we were the guest of Prof. M. V. Wallace principal of the Lincoln grade school. Prof. Wallace is very proud of his new school building. They have five teachers. His daughter, Miss Marie, is Domestic Science teacher and is said to be one of the finest in the city. Prof. Wallace just recently married the second time after being a widower for a few years to Miss Anne Campbell, of Littig, Tex., a graduate of Sam Houston College, where she taught four years. She came last summer to visit Mrs. Collins, her sister, at Joplin, in company with her mother. On first sight she captured and won the heart of the professor and never got to lay eyes on her native land until they were married. She is a very fine accomplished lady and the professor is very proud of her, and says he is happy as he wishes to be. He owns a fine home and enjoys life. He has a fine school, well equipped, everything modern and up-to-date. The school board and superintendent never have refused to appropriate whatever he asked for to make everything a success. Springfield is a thriving town and where the Colored people have a splendid opportunity for holding positions in the Frisco shops. There were two or three hundred employed there during the strike, but I seem these were composed of a class of young Colored men who only wanted to get a few dollars, and a suit of clothes and then quit the job to go off loafing and sporting. We are told by Dr. Harris, who is the Company physician, and one of the leading Colored doctors of the state of Missouri, that at the north shop there were 104 during the strike and they could have held the positions and increased their numbers if they had so desired and done the right thing, but there are only six left out of that great number and the places have been filled by white men. There are quite a number of Colored business men in Springfield in the grocery business, whose trade is 90 per cent among the white people. Rev. Morton has about completed a fine brick church at a cost of several thousand dollars and they now have three good church buildings there. Rev. McKay Miller, pastor of the Presbyterian church, is dong fine. He is now enjoying the pleasure of a wife and two children. He has just purchased a new Dodge car and will go to Colorado this summer. His members and the citizens are very much pleased with him. A. B. Freeman, who has lived in Springfield almost all of his life, and conducts a barber shop, bath and pool room, has just leased the bottom floor of the Colored Masonic Hall for a term of five years. We are proud to say that the Masons own a fine residence right in the main part of the city. Mr. Freeman owns a fine residence, is a fine gentleman, a good business man and believes in lending his efforts to others towards building up the race. He owns several pieces of rent property and is highly respected by everybody. We met Mr. S. L. Hanes, who is in the Railway Mail Service and who says that the Colored people of the service are making good. Dr. J. Burnett Clark and wife conduct a successful drug store at 603 N. Jefferson. They own the building, which is one-story brick, and other property adjourning. He enjoys a big practice. Sometimes ago they purchased seven acres just on the surburbs, a seven room house, large orchard with a variety of fruits, and have hundreds of chickens, eggs and ducks. It is about ten minutes drive from their place of business and they certainly enjoy it. Dr. Clark is a graduate of Washburn College of Topeka. His wife is a registered pharmacist, a splendid business woman. They have a first class fountain and enjoy a large white trade. We met our old friend, Mr. Ed. Drew, who conducts a fine pool hall, owns business property, and is an active race man and has many friends. Dr. E. A. Harris who is a physician and surgeon, was special physician and surgeon for the Frisco during the strike. He owns several pieces of good property, is highly respected by everybody, a strong race man and believes in a citizen's rights. Mrs. B. B. Cooper is our correspondent and agent. Parties wishing to send news and subscriptions will see her or call her by phone. At Pleasanton, Kansas, a town where once lived a large number of Colored people, is almost deserted by teh now, they having moved to the larger cities. They are all progressive, own their own homes and are highly respected by the people. Mr. Rube Fines is still there, also B. D. Fines and James Morton. They seem to be progressing and still liking the old town. At Osawatomie there are quite a few Colored people working in the Missouri Pacific shops. H. J. Wiklins is the first Colored man to ever attempt and successfully run a lunch room and confectionery in that town. During the strike the Missouri Pacific employed him and placed a building at his disposal on the grounds. He is no wserving from 150 to 200 meals daily, employing five people and is a credit not only to himself and the race, but to the town as well. When he first came to the town, the merchants refused to sell goods and he had to buy in Kansas City. They are all glad to sell to him now.

DESTROYED The Girls' Dormitory at K. I. E. I was destroyed by fire last week. The building caught when it was struck by lightning and the flames quickly destroyed the entire building. Because the state has no fund on hand for the rebuilding of the dormitory, banks of Topeka have been asked by Gov. Davia to underwrite the cost of a new building pending the convening of the legislature, when funds will undoubtedly be appropriated. Indications are that the request will be granted. A TRUE CHRISTIAN HAS PASSED ON Emporia, Kansas, June 1.—Mrs. Nannie Bufkin Austin was born in Greensboro, Mississippi, Sept. 3rd, 1869. She was 53 years, 9 months old at the time of her death, May 31st. She was married to Wm. Austin of Osage City, December 25, 1894. She was devoted to her mother, brother, sisters and husband. She lived a devoted Christian all of her life. She professed Christianity over forty years ago. She lived a true upright and honest life. Her maker was her guide and she endeavored to walk in His footsteps. She did not die, but merely went to slepe in the arms of her Sailor. She preached her own funeral by the life she lived. Her life was an open book and all who knew her have read that book. She passed to a higher and broader life with the supreme satisfaction of her life's duties well performed. Is there any greater satisfaction to which man heir? After all she knew she was ready because of preparation. She knew she had a building not made with hands, but eternally in the Heavens. She was buried Saturday, June 2, in Maplewood Cemetery, at Emporia. LINER BRINGS 90 NEGROES New York, June 7.—(K. N. F. S.)

TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 8.1923 GOVERNMENT CLOSES ITS CASE AGAINST GARVEY Shows Deficit of $476,169; Black Star Line Has $11.12 in Bank. New York, June 7—(K. N. F. Service) Assistant U. S. District Attorney Mattucks closed the case for using the United States mails to defraud, Friday afternoon. He seemed confident that the prosecution had proved that the Black Star Line was a fraudulent concern and that the mails had been used to promote it. The outstanding allegations against Garvey may now be summed up as follows: That he intended fraud from the start; that he secured a ship only when forced to do so; that when he did buy ships he bought worthless ones and that they were used solely for purposes of propaganda; that his former, and later, his present wife, controlled the treasury; that no accounting was given for expenditures; that Garvey lived a high life and lost money at the races in Kingston, Jamalca; that he directed his treasurer, George Tobias to sign "whole vows" of blank checks for which Garvey gave no accounting; that all of his books were incorrect; that he had collected $8,931 for passage on a ship to Africa that never existed; that $6,142 of this sum had not been refunded or otherwise accounted for; that forty-three stock books worth from $500 to $2,500 each were missing; that Garvey had men on his board of directors who owned no stock in the company and that he denied the right to vote to holders of the stock at meeting. There are some of the charges which Garvey and his co-defendants will have to disprove within the next few weeks of trial. Thomas A. Merrillees, expert accountant for the government, testified that the Black Star Line has a net deficit of $476,169.87; a balance of $255,293.29; and $31.12 in the bank, which does not represent the total loss because the first year had not been written up at all. Mrs. Annie Carrington testified that she bought $55.00 worth of stock and that when she asked Garvey about it he called her a damned foolish woman" and threatened to throw her out of his office. Harry Watkiss, formerly chief stock salesman of the Black Star Line told of trips with Garvey on which he had collected as high as $9,800 00, all of which he turned over to Garvey. On one of these trips, the Ohio police got after him and his corps of lating the sale of stock in that state. salesmen for violating the law regu-Garvey, he said, ran away and hid behind a tree in an alley while he and he others were arrested. Watkiss admitted he put up a $300 bail from funds of the company and skipped his bail. "Do you mean to say, Mr. Watkiss, that you absconded your bond?" "Is your wife a white lady?" asked Garvey, making an evident play for race prejudice. "Yes," said Watkiss. "Sir" Sydney De Bourg testified that he advised Garvey that the Knawaha was a worthless ship and that he would not buy it. "I know the ship is no good but we need her for propoaganda," he claims was Garvey's reply. The other defendants are almost lost sight of. Garvey is the whole show. Judge Mack has threatened to hold night sessions this week unless the case is speeded up a bit.

HOME TALENT SHOW SCORES A BIG HIT Kansas City, Mo., June 3.—The musical comedy, "Pep-Enuf" put on by the La Comedie Girls, an organization of Kansas City lallee, at the Grand Theater last Thursday evening was one of the big hits of the season. The offering drew a good house. This accomplishment was remarkable when it is remembered that the players are business men, and women who make their living plying their own trades and professions. The performance left little to be desired by way of entertainment. Especially notable was Score 3, in which the "Parisian Underworld," featuring Joyce Lewis and C. Beard, in a whirlwind Apache Dance, was presented. Another very pleasing feature was the rendition of two musical numbers—"Oggie, Oggie, Wa, Wa," and "Billie," by Miss Beatrice Duncan. This charming young matron has a pleasing, soothing voice and an easy stage presence which would make a hit on any of the big time circuit. Mrs. Emma Collins Payne was in the cast two and her unexcelled contralto voice added immeasurably to the success of the show. The other familiar folks in the cast included: Naomi Foster, Wanebia Parker, Eilee Penniston, Pauline Oldham, Fanny Sherrell, Novoline Evans, Ruth Carlot, Delia Knox, Olivia Page, Cleota Wilson Laura Brown, Corinne Chase, Marguerite Terry, Ann Pepr, Dorothy and Thelma Poster, Ralph Cole, Dr. E.

Scott, was lynched at Colubia, Mo., about April 14th. It is your Christian duty, as well as your sworn duty, to see that the sheriff who had this man in custody at Columbia, should be dismissed from office. He is a coward, a cringer, a murderer, one who has betrayed the confidence imposed upon him by the people of that county. It is a disgrace to have such a coward in office. From the fact that this man was in custody over a week, and he must have known that the sentiment and feeling was in 'that community and what was going on all this time, it seems he was in sympathy with the mob and he must have in truth aldei and abetted them. If not, he would have taken his prisoner away long before the time he was lynched. The law of Kansas is when a sehriff allows a prisoner to be taken from him he resigns his office. Missouri does not have such a law, but it seems to me the attorney general would prefer charges against the sheriff for cowardice and refusing to perform his sworn duty and give proper attention to citizens and his prisoners of that county. We have not heard the final outcome of the Grand Jury but we have very little faith in what the court may do in this master, as this being a Colored man, who belongs to a race where the white people have imposed upon them for the last three centuries, and they seem to think they have the constitutional right to abuse and do whatever is necessary to gratify their wishes, when it comes to outraging the Colored people. All believers in the Christian religion and followers of the Savior, cannot afford to sympathize with this outrageous action of the sheriff and if he has a spark of manhood left, he would resign the office at once, hang his head in shame and go hang himself like Judas Iscariot. We address this letter to you, not in malice but from the fact that we want to assist you in upholding the Constitution of the United States of the State of Missouri, and the teachings of the lowly Nazarene. There is no doubt in the minds of the general public that this poor man was innocent of that crime, or even a semblance of such. It looks as though some white man committed the offense and Scott was made the sufferer, as is usually the case. Editor, Topeka Plaindealer President, Kansas Defense Society Jefferson City, Mo., June 6, 1923. Dear Mr. Chiles: Your letter of the 31st at hand. You would have considerable difficulty it was anything with reference to the outrage perpetrated in the lynching of a Negro at Columbia in which I would not concur. Whenever you say it is my Christian and sworn duty to remove the Sheriff from office, you are evidently not aware that no such power is vested in the Governor under the laws of Missouri. Nobody can remove either a Sheriff or a Prosecuting Attorney under the law of this state except upon a trial in court which is entirely within the hands of the officers of the county in which the outrage occurred. Such proceedings would be absolutely fruitless. For your information the Grand Jury indicted some four or five people for participating in this outrage. What the final outcome of the trial will be, I am unable to say. -Cordially Yours, A. M. Hyde Junction City, Kansas Sgt. and Mrs. William Harris will leave Monday for their home in North Carolina. Their many friends will regret their going. FOUNDATION THE COPPLA Blaindealer FOUNDED JANUARY 1890 Nick Chiles, Editor and Publisher George C. Anderson, Manager Miss Mattie A.

E. Mason Muskogee, Oklahoma Each day takes the thinking Ne- ‘gro farther end farther away from the Christian religion. It has abso- lutely failed in clrawing out the best Jictation between the Negro and the | American white man, The entire mat- ter seems to me hke a huge dream with a continued program. Those races that have not embraced the Christian religion are not as heinous as the Americans, For instance: What race at this late hour of civi- vzauuon buras men at atake, dasem- vowels pregnant women and stomps out the brufn of the uaborn bubs? | [ must confess to you that I cannot and will not believe ax true many of the stones or Hes I find in the Bible as facts, Yet there id enough to cause any man or woman to be decent. I sgainst sending the white mission- aries to darh races, for the leason that they teach that white Is the uc- reptel race in the sight of God and further enslave the black races they go to civilize, There is not a white man on the face of the earth good enough to go as a missionary to the Jar continents, You think me radical. How about Mr, Bryan, the great religious writer, who haa embraced the Southern idea of the Negro? Is he not a typical case of the American white man’s re- hgious duplicity? Can you not see that the churches today ue u mel- ium through which the Negro is helt in Londage? How do you reconcile the white man’s religion with his at- Utude to you und the teaching of the Bbic? We cun no longer tell our- selves a lie about this matter, Ether his foria of Christlatmts is 4 farce or the Ible fs wrong, If the Bible iy aight, then we ate the gientest of all fools in the world of Christendom becau e we trall in the foutsepa of that rave which neither conforms to the teuching of the Holy Bible nor wiles he accept of the true brother- hood of man if he ts black, What erfect on Christianity will the mecting of that great body of Bap- tist¢ have at Indianapolis, Hot Springs? None whatever, Just a de- nominational plenie to prate about their big fumbers und creed. They will yive the railroads many thous sands of dollars in order to have a big time in the name of Christianity. That in all—that is all there ix to it. The Negro ministry throughout the South hax at al) times played in the hands of the Southern peon system by persuiuting the Negroes to stay in the South with “these good white folkx,"' “don't x0 north, you will all freeze,” and all sorts of things, Thank goodness ke losing hia strangle hoht on thexe peons.

Garvey just broke the speed limit by having a high speeder. The “gang” could not keep the pace and reported to the tralfic otf.cers from envy. | The Presbyterians are ever play- ing the “country boy.” They are now on their knees begging one of the members, Mr, Hays, to stop hiv pie- ture shows on Sunday, They should have sail the Sabbath, [t was this bunch th.s went on recor! several years ago on the Civil Rights Bull. The thing that they should have ask- had a greater effect and would have reached the populace. « The sad death of Rev. Tarner Wes- zon, an old pioneer Baptist minister, ed for was the use of sacred pictures m the show on Sabbath. It would ugaln betrays the cold heartedness of the cloth, Here ia an old man who spent thirty-five years in this coun- try fighting for the cause of the Bap- tits, building churches, ordaining ministers, and cutting the “right of tog" for the youth of his creed. Yet this ol dman died a3 @ pauper in a place too filthy for my sadle horseor registered pigs. He built the Second Baptist church, the Central Baptist, the Dean Chupel and scores of others. ‘Lhove whom he served most deserted him in his lost days. Many days he went hungry, sick and lonely, Like | many others he too had developed a hatred for necret fraternities and de- spised the word of the Grant Master, But it was a man of these secret or- deta who gave him the last earthly comforts while his colleagues were planung a drive for the Conventions ie long, oh, how long ure we to be the vassals of thix Insidious system? The press under streaming head- linea reports the fact thut many of the college stuclents, girls and women in Mississippi, are forced to yo to the cotton fields on account of the ex- odus of Negro labor, There Ja noth- ing strange about that, The oll South hal ax well to cheer up a bit for the worse Ix yet to come, The exodus ix not yet under way.
