THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Wayside Chips By Nick Chiles At Fort Riley is stationed the headquarters of the 9th Calvary. They have a hand and staff. They do no drilling now and are not armed, but just stationed there. This is where they have charge of the horses and stables where officers are trained in the riding school. It seems that half of the colored regiments have been eliminated from the military service and are now doing mental work around the posts in different parts of the country. We do not know why this is the case unless it is on account of the reduction of the army forces and yet we do not see any of the white soldiers doing like duty. We think the President of the United States should have his attention called to this as we think the more the soldiers are in active duty the more interested they become in the government and the people as well. This mounted school work only mong the soldiers. New recruits are creates kileness and stiffness not doing anything of much importance, and so far as the Government is concerned they are not of much use in the case of war. We think they should be trained as well as the others. There are more title and buxon young soldiers inferring around the Army posts doing nothing when they should be out in the world helping to direct and do some good for the country. There seems to be a tendency on the part of the white officers in the Government service, especially the army, to do a little as possible to encourage young colored men to go high in life or in the service of the Country. There are 460 men at the post, 28 with Filipino wives and 19 children. Mrs. Rosa Jones Bridgeforth has a fine boarding house, owes her property, and is doing fine. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bomar own a fine home at 504 W. 12th street, and are among the most prosperous people in that section of the country. They own a large farm and a modern, nicely furnished house. Mr. Joe Smith and wife have a fine business at 100 West Street. He has clothes cleaning and repair shop and Mrs. Smith has a beauty parlor, using the Poor System out of doing fine. D. Frank is the poet, shoe maker and repainter. His shop is on West 5th street. He owns a fine home and is doing fine. Mrs. M. B. Marigold is on the sick list. Sergeant McIlroy is organized the Boy Scouts and we must say he has a fine group of boys and they are making good. We would there were more Boy Scouts scattered over Kansas. Mr. McIlroy is connected with the Government hospital at Ft. Riley and has been for years. He is much interested in the young people of his race. P. C. Cottrey leased another building and moved his barber-shop to this location. Mrs. Ella B. Jones, formerly of Topeka, is very industrious, doing fine and never forgets her church work. She is one of the greatest church workers in the state. Salina is growing in leaps and bounds. A few of the cullet people are keeping in sight of the rapid advances of the town Prof. Porter, principal of the Dunbar High School, is meeting with wonderful success. He has a fine faculty and 130 pupils, and everything is moving along fine. This is his first year. His wife is fine cultured, educated lady and is now teaching music at home. She is one of the finest grade teachers in the state but has retired. Prof. Porter is well liked by everybody and has been given full power to run the school on the highest scale, employing nothing but the best money can get. He has a fine playground, right up to the minute. The school building is fine and well equipped as one can ask for, fine auditorium and everything in apple pie order. Rev. S. A. Williams, the pastor of St. John Baptist church, says they have purchased ground to build on 9th St. They have the money in the bank to start building as soon as the material can be bought cheaper. He contemplates building a church for a community center and everything will be modern, equipped to please everybody and be a credit to not only the Baptist and other churches. Ie has a summer garden in connection with the church which furnishes amusement for the young people which keeps them from the jim crow theaters and loitering on the streets. Dr. H. H. Wilson, physician and surgeon is enjoying a fine practice and is highly respected and loved by everybody, energetic and industrious citizen. Rev. J. H. Nichols, pastor of the A. M. E. church, and wife, live at 219 N. 8th street, and are doing fine. They came here only a few months ago and have built up a nice little congregation and the people love him. Ed Hutson is doing fine. He has charge of a grocery store at 432 N. 2nd Street. The company known as the Hutson Grocery Company, consists of himself, his son and daughter. These young people are in high school, but must their father in running the business. They are fine, reliable young people, whose reputation for good manners and behavior and was above par in that city. Our Mr. Hutson is bookkeeper and manages the finance of the institution. The have done several thousand dollars worth of business this year. The father just completed a five thousand dollar eight room bungalow, which they will occupy. Miss Hutson will preside over the home on her father. He is a widower but of children are sitting up with him all it will be probably a few days before the old man will be permitted to join anew with some good woman. Miss Geraldine Bryant and Bessie Tucker are two popular teachers of the Danbar School. We met J. W. Price of Falun, Kana, who grows wheat, raises cattle, owes and poultry. Mr. and Mrs. N. R. Wiley are among the prosperous and popular people of Salina. Their son, Mr. Wigley, is a mechanic in the Union Pacific shops. He is married and doing fine. The young daughter is in high school and at home taking care of her mother's household. Mrs. Wigley has just returned from a trip to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where she visited her brother Wesley, who is in business. There are two young colored men, Brown brothers, who are mall carriages. They stood the examination and being the two highest, were placed in the jobs. F. H. Williams owns a fine bungalow and is doing fine. Mrs. Bell Gilmes is building a new home. Her youngest son recently married Miss Alice Bradford of Kansas City. He is employed at the leading drug store of the town. Mrs. Gilmes owns two beautiful homes and is among the most popular citizens of the town. The Smith Brothers are plumbers and junk men of the town, in fact for 50 or a hundred miles in the surrounding country. They are very pro-perous young men. Rev. Judge Fanzler was elected a Justice of the Peace at the last election in 1922 and has the distinction of being the only colored man to hold such a position in that section of the state. He and his wife also conduct a hote. The colored people own nice homes and almost everybody raises chickens and a garden. We had the pleasure of eating dinner with Sergeant Gibon and wife, who own fine property. Mr. Milton Brown owns a nice home which he and his wife enjoy. Mr. Joe Thomas is one of the junk men of the surrounding country. He is a very popular white man. He is formerly of Topeka and owns a fine horse. We stopped off at Abilene and visited the Baptist church. We must say that they have one of the nicest little churches in the state. The pastor is very popular and is a young man, doing much for the upbuilding of the congregation and the citizens of the town. BROADWAY TO SEE ANOTHER COLORED SHOW New York, June 28.—(K. N. F.)

WHEATLEY HOSPITAL GRADUATES TWO NURSES Kansas City, Mo, June 23.—One the most impressive commencement exercises of the season was that of the Wheatley Provident Nurse Training School at the Paso Y. M. C. A. Monday evening, June 18th. Two of the young ladies in training received meet Thomas and are ready to embark upon their mission of healing the sick. The graduate are Misses Kva J. Thomas of Independence, Kansas, and Loe M. Hobbs, of Village Mills, Troy. The Commencement Address was delivered by the Rev. A. L. Rankin, pastor of St. Paul Prebterian church. Rev. Rankin was at his best, and his address was full of wholesome advice to the graduates. By other students, and yet it was a literary gem. The keynote of his speech was that service is the first consideration of any mine worthy of the name. In his remarks, Dr. J. L. Perry, superintendent of the hospital, told of some of his visits to other sections and stated that Wheatley stood in the forefront of the other Negro-owned institutions of this kind. He also made a plea for more recognition of the worth of the Colored professional men and women. Attorney C. H. Calloway, President of the institution, was on the program for the presentation of the diplomas but his remarks deserve the designation of address. He also admonished the graduates to seek to serve first. In presenting the nurse's pins, Mrs. L. S. Evans, Superintendent of Nurses, characterized the graduating class as her step-children, but said that qualifications were so good that she was proud of even that honor. She also said that the next class after the one next year was of her own selection and that she expected great things of them. An Instrumental solo by Miss Doris Roita Novel, a vocal solo by Mrs Nellie Hendricks, and music by the Melody Makers' Quartet made up the rest of the program. Attorney L. A. Knox served very acceptably as master of ceremonies. Many beautiful and useful presents were given to the graduates by their fellow students and friends. AFRO-AMERICAN HIS- TORY DRAMATIZED New York, June 28.—(K. N. F.)

TURNS FROM SOUTH New York, June 28.—(K. N. F.) Rev. H. N. Jeter, of Newport, J. I. Discuss Plans to Enlarge Work of Noted Institution. New York, June 24.—(K. N. F.) The Board of Trustees of Tuskegee Institute met here last week and discus- sed plans looking towards the enlargement of the work of the institu- tion and other matters related to the noted school. Dr. Moton, who has been under fire as a result of the building of the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, was present and told of the work done during the scholastic year just closed. It was, he said, one of the most suc- cessful years the institution has had. The school now employs nearly 200 teachers. It is not known what attitude the Board took regarding the opening of the hospital with a white personnel but in view of the recent announcement of Director Hires of the Veterans' Bureau, that a Negro personnel had qualified for the positions, the situation may soon be cleared up. Speaking editorially in the Sunday New York World, that daily stated that "the solution lies in following the rules of medical efficiency. All other phases of the question are dwarfed by the price conideration—that of the welfare of the Negro Veterans. If their interests are best furthered by doctors of their own race, and such doctors are found to be equal in skill to available white colleagues, the racial sensitivity of leading citizens and all questions of local pride and patronage are not worthy of consideration."

TRIES BOLD TRICK ON COP BUT IS ARRESTED Retracing his Steps, Alleged Burglar Strokes by Policeman; Puffing Gives Him Away. New York, June 28.—(K. N. F.) In the arrest of a man the police have styled the "Boston Burglar," it is hoped that any number of robberies and burglaries will be cleared up. The man was arrested in the neigh- hood of West 110th street, after 6 shots had been fired at him. At the time he is alleged to have attempted to rob an apartment of a young woman but her scream aroused the tenants in the house. A de cription of him was given to the policeman who responded to her screams and a heated chase began. Closely pursued, the man tried to fool the policeman by retracing his steps and strolling past the officer but his puffing and blowing gave him away and he was arrested.

E. Mason A few weeks ago I wrote a paragraph on the State of Georgia, as it pertains to the Negro. I said Georgia is a cess pool of political and social filth. The editor of the Silver Lake (Kansas) Daily became all heated up over my statement and used some very nasty remarks. His paper, a small sheet, took serious exception to the remarks stated. I shall not attempt to debate this matter with the editor. His language is too repugnant to my sense of decency. I shall dismiss it with the same alaracity that I would throw a cigar stump into the gutter, confine myself to the issue raised. I shall discuss Georgia as it relates to the Negro. Dating back to the formation of this colony in which Oglethorpe opposed slavery, this section has ever been unfavorable to the Negro's well being. Georgia has ever shown some very ugly ear marks. It refused to take part in the Stamp Act Congress. It failed to be represented in the First Continental Congress. Georgia has never had the moral background or mental capacity to keep time with the march of progress. This royal colony was settled by an element of poor, ignorant, debt ridden white trash. It was impossible for Oglethorpe to bring this heterogeneous mass to the highest standard of civilization he so much anticipated. After 20 years of patient labor, he, John Wesley and others became so despaired till they threw up the job and returned to England. It took too much time for this grade of human strata "to be lifted up" and take on the dream of their benefactor. Time has not yet elapsed to justify Oglethorpe's dream. It has a pecancy, and an infbred hate of that would ever unfit it to give the Negro the justice that he deserves or hopes for. There seems to be an unusual hatred against the Negro in Georgia quite different to any other Southern state. It can form the most heilish schemes of treachery, blood curling punishments and create a general all round hell for Negroes than any place in America. It has had Texans at her knees for the last decade teaching her lessons in crime, propaganda, and nudal poison. Texas has proven to be an apt pupil according to her recitations of crime. The stock in trade in Georgia and the South is social equality. It was first instituted to cast aspersion on the North which was inclined to donate the Negro humane treatment. It later became the potent weapon of the political demagogue and those who seek to retrieve their fortune. In fact it is the strongest card played throughout the South to justify lynching, burning, mobbing, disfranchisement, Jim crowism and all brutal treatment of the Negro. The best evidence that the social equality is a bugaboo is that out of every thousand Negroes in Georgia, there are 260 mulattoes. Throughout the North influences are placed at strategic points to "carry on" a campaign of disgrace, slander, and demoralization of the Negro. The background of this campaign of poison is to regain what was lost in the battle of bullets at Gettysburg, and the battle of ballots in the Presidential election in 1920. In order to deviate so much of this misrepresentation by proxy the Negro has decided to go North too. The South has been very dexterious in its attempt to convert the North to its way of thinking on the race problem. It has used every clever trick that would accomplish its aim. Fortunately the Negro has awakened to this most insidious conspiracy. Let us take a peep into the records of Georgia. The last census shows that there are in the state: Whites, 1,69,114; Negroes, 1,206,365. In the last twenty-five years they have lynched and mobbed 418 Negroes. This does not take into account the daily murder of 10 to 15 Negroes on peon farms like that of John Williams. The average school term in Georgia is 412 months. Per capita for education: Whites, $33,45; Negroes, $4.00. Expended for education: Whites, $20,922,362; for Negroes, $2,440,278. The average strength of the Georgia In the last Presidential election there was cast for Democrats 107,100 votes; Republicans, 41,089. The Negro's voting strength in the State of Georgia is only 10 per centum of the Republican votes cast. The major part of the Republican votes was cast by revenue Republicans and pie biters. (Political filth.) In speaking of the Negro exodus there have been may causes given. The controlling cause seems to be the activity of the K. K. K. In the last three years there have left from the rural districts 228,938 Negroes. They left vacant 46,674 houses. The whipping of a bishop down in Arkansas a few weeks ago has disarmed the Negro minister from making his deceitful defense for the South. What if is here said about Georgia applies in general to all of the old slave states. The campaign of inuendo by the poison squall from the South is each day becoming more evident and its purpose is being exposed. This exodus is becoming intensified as the Negro's intelligencedevelops. The advocates of letting your bucket down where you are have become suspiciously silent and are secretly joining the exodus to the North. The class of persons who make the Negro an issue is seldom men of integrity or who possess the qualities of fit leadership. Anyone who is acquainted with the conditions in the South and especially the state of Georgia, could not, if he possessed a high sense of justice, lend credence to the oppression of the Negro, or with their prejudice fly into the face of statistics. The laws of any state is the barometer of its morals, and if you think that the Negro gets justice throughout the South, study its statutory laws. In the words of the great writer, Mr. Lumb: "Applaud us as we run, console us when we fall, but for God's sake, let us pass on, let us pass on." MRS. I. M. M. DAVIS PASSES ON Mrs. Ida May Maddox Davis was born on April 10th, 1869 at Valden, Mississippi. She moved with her parents to Topeka, Kansas, in March, 1880 and removed to Dunlap in 1883 at which place she maintained an unbroken residence until she departed from this life. Mrs. Davis joined the Mt. Zion Baptist church at the tender age of 14 years, in which she was an active and energetic member until 1912, when she transferred her membership to the Methodist church, where she lived a most exemplary Christian life until the monster, death, commanded her to cease her Christian activities. On October 29, 1891, the deceased was married to Henry L. Davis in this city and this happy union bore nine children. Mrs. Davis was a devout and consistent Christian, always cheerful and ready to share her happiness and radiant sunshine with her neighbors and friend. She was a kind and loving mother, and devoted her life to the proper reading of her children. Though kind and sympathetic, she was a brave and courageous Christian who was not afraid to die. She was aware of her approaching demise and often counselled her husband and children in regard to arrangements pertaining to her funeral, etc. She said she was ready and wanted to go, and on June 16, 1923, at one o'clock, a. m., she slept peacefully away. The deceased leaves a husband, H. I. Davis, six children, Roy L. Davis, of Topeka, Kansas, Pearl, Gertrude, Hattie, Ralph and Velera Davis, all of Dunlap; a father, Ralph Mattox, of Dunlap, a brother, Preston Mattox of Kansas City, Kansas, many relatives, and a host of friends to mourn their loss.

BRIDGEFORTH THE BEACON LIGHT Just a Little Bit of Everything By George Clinton Anderson --- --- ```markdown ``` Down In Kansas City the other day we had the pleasure of seeing a really modern house being constructed by one of our old schoolmates, Joe Foster is his name and he hails from Little Rock, Ark. He is associated with Mr. Jett. There is always a thrill of pride one feels when he sees a playmate of other days making his mark in the world. Brother J. I. Mason surely ate up the "little seller" who runs the Silver Lake Daily, in this issue. Those of readers whothought that Mr. Mason's only specialty is preacher-baiting, should read his dissertation on Georgia in this issue. Of course there are many things Bro. Mason says with which we do not agree, but then if all of us thought alike there would only be one kind of pie, and just suppose that particular kind should be rhubarb. What a picless life some of us would have to lead. Go to it, Bro. Mason, we are for you. While we do not hold any personal grudge against Marcus Garvey, because we either did have it or had too much sense to sink our money in his dreams, we cannot help thinking that the jury who found him guilty of using the mail to defraud did the Negroes of America in particular a great service by placing Garvey where he will not be able to fleece poor ignorant, credulous Colored people out of their hard-earned savings for a time at least. Perhaps he should not have been so harshly dealt with but it is better that one man lose his liberty than for a whole mass of ignorant people lose their homes and lives. What surprises us most is the fact that Ben Davis, that credited editor of the Atlanta Independent, and LOCAL AND PERSONAL Miss Iva Johnson of Lawrence, Kansas, is the guest of Miss Nathella Sawyer. Bishop H. B. Parks and Rev. J. C. C. Owens, were in the city on business. Mrs. Roosevelt Sneed of Chicago III., is visiting Mr. Sneed's parents Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Sneed.

While we feel flattered to think that our journals have become so influential, we think that in the implication too much credit has been given to the power of the Negro Press. Then, we wonder how much influence Mr. Tobias of New York, had over the opinion of the Independent? If he had any, the opinion is not surprising any longe. We have noticed that Mr. Tobias is not always accurate in his statements. For instance he should have looked up history before he stated that the A. M. E. and A. M. E. Zion churches exist because of a split in one of them. They never were united. And, here and now, we rise to challenge Mr. Tobias to prove all the allegations he made concerning the N. A. A. C.
