THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Historical State House TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR, NUMBER Through Misso Wit TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR, NUMBER THIRTY TWO Through Missouri With the Editor Through Missouri With the Editor (Continued from last week) Jefferson (Al) We stopped over at Jefferson City to visit Lincoln University, where Prof. Inman L. Page was closing up business, preparing to leave for Oklahoma City, where he would be supervisor of Colored schools of that city at an increased salary, way above what he is getting now. He speaks very highly of managers of the school and he can be depended upon to assist this school wherever he is, as he says he loved the university from the fact that he spent some 20 years of service there. He has great faith in Lincoln and says as soon as the necessary funds are appropriated for the buildings of the school and the upkeep of the faculty at increased salary, Lincoln can be depended upon to hold its own along with other schools of that kind. He went before both committees of the legislature and asked for appropriations to give Lincoln what is necessary and what is really needed for the upkeep and safety of the school and pupil. Here the Colored people have one restaurant and one grocery store. R. W. Stokes and wife still conduct the Bluefront restaurant and are among the leading people of the town.

Ella Sims We are glad to have all of our Grand Officers re-elected and glad to know that we now have a Grand Royal House media, this being our first time to have one. TOPEKA, KANS. We, the members of the convention of the Nemo churches of Christ in ouven in a embled with the 2nd centre of Christ at 12th and West St. it were knocked to see in the ring papers the startling announcement of the death of our beloved president, Western Calhoun. We had hoped, earnestly hoped, that the critical moment had passed and that President Handling was on the road to recovery, but alas, for the inevitable came suddenly, even to those who were nearest to him; we pause, with bared heads and in profound repect. Whereas, a prince among men has fallen asleep in the midst of the affairs of state, and actively engaged in the concerns of his high office, and not confined to the four walls of his immediate office, for he was away from the executive mansion, but yet among his friends, We realize that the general appointment of Almighty God has no exemptions, but reaches here and there without regard to race or station, or even preparedness, for at the call we must all bow in submission, and the living must say thy will be done. And whereas life is so filled with activities and there lies near each one of us a great task. Therefore, let us take into our co-partnership, a silent but potent one, God, that each day our task may be well done, in that his will is being done daily, for we live by the day. Be it resolved therefore that we herein extend to Mrs. Warren G. Harding, in this, her hour of trial, our deepest sympathy, and pray that her remarkable courage may sustain her, and the kindly and sustaining office of our Heavenly Father attend her, together with those upon whom this blow has fallen; we further pray that the unfinished task, laid down by Mr. Harding, may find in our Vice President, Calvin Coolidge, a worthy successor, ministering so far as possible impartially to the needs of the whole people. Respectfully. Electricity. Mm. H. VanDerzee, Chairman of committee. EACH MUST BEAR A CROSS Marion, O., Aug. 9.—Three days before Mr. Harding was inaugurated as president of the United States he was made a member of Marion commandery Knights Templar at a special conclave. After being knighted, Mr. Harding made these remarks: "I love these reproductions of tradition. Tradition seldom has preserved anything not worth while. I have loved the story of Christ. You can bring it home to every man. Every man has his Gethsemane. Every man has his cross and the measure of mankind is how he bears it. Some fall under it. Some die upon it, but the man who performs a service in life never fails to live again. There's a finer knighthood today than in the days of the crusaders only we evident it differently. The world is growing better every day. One of the twelve disciples betrayed Christ. Today were there a Judas in twelve, it would mean an unpeal. We are going on to a finer, better order in the world. The World War is not changeable to the Christian religion, but to the failure of those who profess it. Too often we take an obligation carelessly. Too often we do not give it the consideration which it should have. "I am mindful tonight that three days hence I am to take an oath—a solemn one, one that no man can approach without solemn thought. I mean to take that obligation, to defend and preserve it in humility and faith and in the love of truth. I want your help. "I want you to realize that the next administration of the greatest land on earth is yours, not mine; it's that of one hundred million, and I want the help of all of them."—Kansas City Journal. TO FETE GOURAND Upon his return to New York City, colored citizens, together with Col. Arthur Little, commander of the 369 Infantry, (Old 15th) are planning to stage a demonstration for General Gourard, who commanded the regiment in France. In connection with this celebration the firm stand taken by the French government relative to its colored citizens will undoubtedly endear the aged one-armed general to the hearts of the people here. He is expected to return from his He is expected to return from his tour of the country this week. NC DISCRIMINATION ON ELLIS ISLAND Investigator Finds That All Are Being Treated Like on Entering Port of New York City New York, August 9—(K. N. F. Service). Following information that Negro immigrants were being discriminat ed against when entering the United States at the Ellis Island Immigration Station, an investigator was sent over to the island last Wednesday, who upon his return, stated that the charges were unfounded. The food served in the great dining room was as well cooked as that served on the average home table. All entered the room together, both white and colored, and no attempt was made to segregate them. There are about thirty colored persons detained on the island. August 1st was a busy day as seventeen hundred came in three ships alone. FRANCE TO PROTECT ALL HER CITIZENS Examples to Be Made of American Tourists Who Object to Presence of Colonials in Public Places At Columbs in Public Places New York, August 9—(K. N. F. Service). A copyrighted cable dispatch to a daily newspaper here states that the Foreign Office warning to American tourists that they will be expelled from France if they try to draw the color line against French citizens in Paris because of their color, was followed by instructions to the Paris police to protect all citizens of the Republic at all cost. The Negro deputies are understood to be behind this move and intend to see to it that the government does not shrink from its duty to its black citizens. A few days ago a Prince of Dehomey, a French province, was refused service in a restaurant in the Latin quarter of the city and on another occasion two wealthy manufacturers, both colored, from the United States, who served as officers during the war, boarded a night-soaring bus to revisit the battlefields where they fought, were grossly insulted by a white American planning to take the same trip. The trip was finally cancelled. NO DECISION YET IN HOSPITAL SITUATION Washington, D. C., August 9—(K. N. F. Service). Director General Hines, of the Veterans' Bureau, and the delegation of white Alabamians have not been able to reach an agreement on the racial control of the government hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., after repeated conferences. The delegation was headed by State Senator Fowell of Alabama. A few days ago the director of the bureau stated that he would take the matter up with the president, but this has been made impossible by the untimely death of our chief executive. Just what action President Coolidge will take in the matter should it be brought to his attention, no one is able to state. L.W. BOOKER SUPERINTENDENT OF GENERAL HOSPITAL The people of Kansas City are all proud of the appointment of L. W. Booker as superintendent of the General Hospital. Mr. Booker graduated in the class of 1917 at Howard University; he is a Virginian by birth, and is thirty five years old. He was an interne at the hospital and is a single man. There is no reason why, he cannot so forward and make this hospital what it should be. There are several additions needed: in fact, they need a new building and something should be done for the consumptives and be placed in some country districts the same as the whites. The colored people of Kansas City, Mo., should wake up and demand that something be done for this class of unfortunates, housed in a building that does not have sanitary surroundings as they should have. There are too many old beds and other furniture that should be relegated but it is necessary to have a new building in order to get what is necessary for the care and comfort of the unfortunate sick who are compelled to go to this institution. Dr. Booker has the influence of his party to secure this position and we believe he has sufficient influence to have the necessary improvements made to make this hospital what it should be.

Unsigned communications, except from our regular correspondents, will not be published. Mr. Ben F. Endrews, of Leavenworth, the Republican whip of the Kansas legislature, demonstrated himself as a statesman by advocating the postponement of a resolution to investigate a few political reports of assessments reported to be made by the Democratic party sanctioned by Governor Davis. Also charges made against Representative Snyder of Atchison. He said there seemed to be a quarrel between the Democrats and he is in favor of letting them settle it among themselves and would be in favor of a committee of Democrats appointed to do that. But he thought it was unfair at this time to take advantage of Governor Davis, who is very sick at this time. Furthermore, the charges did not prove anything. Mr. Endres being the leading Republican of Kansas and of the house, showed himself above petty politics by making this motion and backing it up with words which put him in a class of statesmen who do big things and the people respect such men and will lose no time in placing them in positions where they can be of great benefit to all. Leavenworth county should be proud of Mr. Endres and some day he should be promoted to a higher position. Counting only one bushel of wheat to the acre, the amount of wheat needed to send the Kansas acreage for the crop of 1022 was 12,290,858 bushels, which is more than the whole crop in any one of 29 of the 48 states. Visitors to the State Fair at Hutchinson, September 15-21, will see displays of the best wheat produced this year, as well as methods used to increase the number of bushels production per acre. The average yearly value of Kansas corn for the last twenty years has been $67,679,016. This average value would buy 1,128 acres of land worth $200 per acre, for every working day in the year. Kansas record yield of corn was an average of 48.4 bushels per acre. This is a higher average than was ever recorded in 41 of the 46 states. So, Kansas is not alone a "wheat state," it is instead a State of diversified products. The visitors to the Kansas State Fair at Hutchinson, September 15-21, can see and compare the various farm products, livestock, etc., and can gain more for the money and time spent at the State Fair than in any other way. A trip to the State Fair is an education within itself, for all members of the family. It is the biggest vacation bargain in Kansas this year. Secretary Sponsler of the State Fair urges Kansans to plan their State Fair trip now. During the last twenty years the farmers of Kansas have produced approximately 400 million dollars' worth of hogs, or 20 million dollars' worth each year. Kansas has more hogs than 30 of the other states. The hog will insure prosperity on Kansas farms. The greatest exhibition of swine in the state is held at the Kansas State Fair each year. The dates this year are Sept. 15-21. Plan now to go to Hutchinson. FRANKLIN DANDERIDGE PASSES The citizens of Topeka paid a high tribute to the memory of Mr. John Franklin Dandridge, who died a few days ago after an operation for the amputation of his leg. He had suffered for a long while. He was a high class christian gentleman who attended strictly to business. He was the building expert for Crosby Bros, for 28 years, one of the largest dry goods firms in the west. The Crosby Bros. Co., honored and respected him for his efficiency, honesty and integrity. He was always on the job and kept his department up in G. 4. a. He was born in Marshall county, Missouri and came to Kansas thirty-five years ago. Was a member of the Third Baptist church and held the position of treasurer for years. He was a mason, member of Mt. Morlah, A. F. & A. M. He leaves a wife, two girls, four boys, two brothers, and a host of friends to mourn their loss. His funeral was held from the Third Baptist church, his pastor, Rev. Gaines, officiating, assisted by several other ministers. His remains were interred in Mt. Auburn cemetern. His son Leland came from Los Angeles to attend the funeral. We are proud to say he held this responsible position because he was competent and faithful. Crosby Bros. are Louisianans by birth and are doing all they can to promote competent colored people to positions of trust and honor. They will be proud when prejudice will fade away in the business circles and honest, competent people can be employed regardless of color. Mr I.: H. Crosby paid his respects to the widow and offered his services for whatever was needed. Also other members and clerks of the firm who also attended the funeral. Mr. Dandridge left a great legacy for the Race when he filled such a responsible position to the edification of his employees, which means other colored people will be employed from the record he has made. The many friends of Prof. B. K. Bruce and wife, of Leavenworth, Ks., will be glad to know they are recovering from the accident that occured a few weeks ago by taking an auto ride. Prof. Bruce had a few ribs and collar bone broken while Mrs. Bruce had her arm broken, caused by the machine skidding when rounding a curve. PROCLAMATION From the Grand East of the M. W.

Williams, matron of the public comfort room for women at 8th and Felix. The Sunday school was largely attended and quite an interesting lesson was presented. The pastor introduced on of the Norton, Kans, S. S. workers, in the person of Mr. Lewis, who made some interesting remarks. Later he reviewed the lesson which was a sermon within itself, and a pleasure to listen to him. Immediately afterwards we entered into the morning worship. A splendid sermon was delivered by our pastor. Even though the service was of short duration the Holy Spirit was in our midst. Eight car loads of folks from the New Hope church motored to Atchison immediately after the close of the morning worship, to encourage our pastor and tender our appreciation to Rev. Cartwright and his members for having assisted us in our effort on the 3rd Sunday. We could not say other than we were cordially welcomed and royally entertained by the pastor, good members and friends of Ebenezer. True our stay was short but it was just long enough for us to desire a return soon. Rev. J. N. Gordon preached the rally sermon. It is hardly expedient for me to say that our pastor delivered an able, soul stirring sermon, well charged with the Holy Spirit, and that our hearts did burn within a while he talked with us by the way, for he has to his credit that distraction of being a God-fearing man and equal to the occasion. We were not surprised at the wonderful message he delivered as we feast upon similar sermons at home. We are indeed glad to sit under the sound of his voice and listen to such wonderful sermons as he only can deliver. Splendid music was furnished by the New Hope church choir. Members and friends of New Hope contributed $2620 to the rally.

Botts, is still carrying the mail from the depot to the post office. He has built a fine bungalow on 211 West Spruce and erected a new Baptist church named Mt. Zion. He bought a building and had it placed on a desirable lot and the members have called Rev. Goings of Kansas City, Kans., to pastor it. He is a widower and right here is a good chance for some good woman to secure a good husband and home. At Chanute we attended the Grand Lodge of K. of P., and the Grand Court of Calanthe. We must say that the colored people of Chanute cover them-selves with glory entertaining these two grand bodies. We found our old friend, John Kieser, plumber, very happy and doing fine. He married last January to Mrs. L. Crith. They have a beautiful home at 1602 South Central avenue. They have over three hundred chickens and a fine garden, and seem to be enjoying life. We found Miss Anna Weather-spoon doing a fine second hand business in the clothing line. Also deals in carpets and rugs.
