THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER new paper declines Mother of the Custodian of the Prince Hall Grand Lodge Passes to Great Beyond in Peaceful Rest. Mrs. Mary Benson was born in Alabama about the year 1851. From the place of her birth she was taken to Montgomery county, Texas, where she resided until she came here. She was left an orphan when a small child. She was united in marriage to Alexander Easter when very young. To this union was born twelve children, eight of whom survive her. When but a small girl she united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, living a consistant rhristian until the end came. afar were: Prof. W. A. Easter of St. Louis, Mo.; Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Easter and Mrs. Margaret Clarida of Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Birdie Johnson of Chaunte, Mrs. Sadie Kenna, Kansas City; Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Minfield of Wichita; Mrs. W. Wallace and Mrs. Hoard of Coffeyville; Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Hudson, of Chetopa, also several members of the S. M. T. Lodge were here from Chetopa to assist the lodge here to give the burial service at the church. The deceased was laid to rest by In December, 1879, the family moved to Kansas, settling o na farm in Cherokee county about six miles north east of Oswego. In March, 1893, they decided to move to Oswego City, but her companion died before the moving was completed. It therefore became her arduous task to complete the moving and rear a family of six boys and four girls and to assist in rearing two grandsons later. Shortly after noon of Sept. 20, 1923, she was selved with a very serious pain in the head and mentioned it in such distressing tones that her son, Charles, hurried to her. Her son-in-law, J. W. Webb, being near, also hurried to her. Then at once summoned medical aid, which was continued, together with the very best care that was possible to give, yet amid al liths, together with the strenuous fight she made, she passed to the Great Beyond Oct. 1, 1923, at 1:10 p. m. 五 All her children were at her bedside when the end came. Her remarks at various times during her illness proved that she had lived such a life as the Christ required one to live to receive the reward of rest beyond this vale of tears. Shortly after she was seized she asked for her son, Prof. B. C. Easter, and he was summoned from his school room. Upon reaching her bedside she said to him, "If I don't get eased I shall have to leave you. Tell Will and Ed, to meet me in Heaven." She seemed to realize what her children, all of whom were at her bedside while sick, were trying to do for her, saying, "I have good children." One of her frequent remarks was "I'm in the Lord's hands." She consistently called on the name of the Lord and when she could no longer speak would wave her hands. On Thursday last she fell into a deep slumber, which continued until she entered that profound sleep. Thus is life, only a few years do we journey here, and we come to that bridge—death—which transports us as the road we have traveled. Her sweet life tells us that she has blazed a beautiful pathway for her children to follow. If they do so they shall see her again in that Paradise of love when death shall claim them. The greatest life is never the one Of wondrous deeds to boast; But the life that sweetened some other life And supplies its needs the most. Such was the life of Mar Easter. She was not one to demonstrate her worth in public but played well her part in the home, speaking through her children's lives as they went forth to play their part in life's great arena. She leaves eight children: Mrs. Lillie Webb, Joplin, Mo.; Mrs. Bindle Johnson, Chanute, Kansas; Prof. W. A. Easter, St. Louis; Mr. E. C. Easter, Chicago; Mrs. Charity Minfield, Mr. W. L. Easter, Mr. C. H. Easter, and Prof. B. C. Easter, of Owegan. Ten grandchildren, one great grandchild and a host of friends to mount her loss. The funeral services were conducted at Mason Chapel M. H. church by Rev. J. J. Cabbell, of Independence, Kansas, a former pastor and district superintendent, assisted by Rev. W. H. Hamilton, pastor in charge. Rev. Cabbell chose for his text the 17th verse of 115 Psalm—"I shall not die but live, and declare the works of the Lord." This proved to be a very appropriate text and he so developed it that it was very impressive and consoling to the increased family. The application was very beautiful and exemplified the sweet and serviceable life of the deceased. Her five sons and grandson, Millard Laster, aged as pal bearers. The very large floral offering manifested how highly she was esteemed by this community. Those attending the funeral from afar were: Prof. W. A. Easter of St. Louis, Mo.; Mr. and Mrs. E. C. Easter and Mrs. Margaret Clarida of Chicago, Ill.; Mrs. Birdie Johnson of Chauunte, Mrs. Sadie Kenna, Kansas City; Mr. and Mrs. Raymond Minfield of Wichita; Mrs. W. Wallace and Mrs. Hoard of Coffeyville; Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Hudson, of Chetopa, also several members of the S. M. T. Lodge were here from Chetopa to assist the lodge here to give the burial service at the church. The deceased was laid to rest by the side of her husband in Garrison cemetery, Cheroges county. "Dearest one, thou has left us, And thy loss we deeply feel; But 'tis God that hath bereft us, He ca nall our sorrows heal." Tribute to Mrs. Mary Easter From the Mason Chapel M. E. Church "There is a reaper whose name is death, And with his sickle keen, He reaps the bearded grain at a breadth, And the flowers that grow between." This reaper has visited Mason Chapel and carried away one of our dear members, whose name has long been upon the membership roll. To this dear mother of the church we looked for council and guidance. Often our pathways have been made smoother by her relating experiences of difficulties, encouraged and how to overcome them. Though not able to be at the church services at all times we know her prayers have helped to accomplish much toward the success of the church. Many ministers who have gone in and out of her home have spoken in the highest terms of her, for though her pathway was not always the smoothest, yet she was always firm in her belief that God was guiding her as she passed along life's rugged pathway. We feel that we have lost a true and faithful member, one who added much to the church, not only through her own life these many years, but also through the dear children whom she has guided along for 30 years. To these dear bereaved ones, we the members of Mason Chapel M. E. church, extend our sincere sympathy and we trust you may still be guided by her wise council given during her stay with you and keep saved her memory, as her spirit shall still hover around you ever mindful of your Christian welfare. She has gone an dean never return to you, but you can so live as to go to her when the end comes by following her example, choosing as your guide the Christ. "There is no death, the stars go down down To rise upon some fairer shore; And bright in heaven's jeweled crown And ever near us, though unseen, They shine forever more. The dear immortal spirits tread For all the boundless universe, Is life—there is no dead." NETTIE HUDSON Mr. Lott Miller is on the sick list.

Church Is One Among the Young Minsters Who Leaves Behind Him A Fine Reputation. He Has Made Good And His Church Should Be Proud Of Him. Rev. J. S. Blaine, pastor of Lane Chapel, is making great efforts to raise his conference claims. The C. M. E. Conference of which he is a member, will meet in Richmond, Mo., October 23. He is wide awake young minister and never sleeps on the job. THE FEDERAL NATIONAL HISTORY MUSEUM The citizens of Topeka regardless of color, love and reverence him. He is a high class Christian, moral gospel minister, a race man and we predict great things for him in the future. He has a bright prospect for journalism and he may be the future head of the great publishing house of his Church. He was born in Memphis, Tennessee, October 8th, 1886, attended LeMoline Institute, Memphis; Howe Theological Seminary, Memphis; joined the West Tennessee Conference in 1910, at Covington, Tenn.; member of the Joint Board of Finance. Since then he has filled several charges in Tennessee, Minnesota, and Kansas. He was married to Mrs. Anna Lee Smith of Memphis, who is one of the best church workers in the connection. Wherever they have gone she has taken the lead in making her husband's work a success and the ladies of the church always give her the lead. She is a Christian lady and is doing much to place her sex in the highest degree of womanhood. The members of Lane Chapel love her and say she has been untold benefit to them as well as the community. Rev. Blame will close one of the most successful years in the history of his ministerial career. He is raising all conference claims and will close with a fine program on October 8th to 12th. We hope him success wherever he goes. WESTERN COLLEGE NEWS Enrollment continues to increase, and already room and chapel space is crowded. Rev. S. B. Butler, of Mt. Zion Baptist church, Indianapolis, Ind., in company with Mrs. Butler, paid the school a visit last Thursday. Both Rev. Butler and Mrs. Butler are graduates of Western College and are among the highest workers for the Alam Mater, Rev. Butler is president of the Westren Alumni Association, and is making every effort to establish in the name of the alumni, a science department in Western College. Rev. and Mrs. Martin of Chicago, accompanied by Mrs. Shannon of this city, paid a flying visit to Western last Wednesday. Rev. and Mrs. J. L. Prince, of St. Joseph, Mo., spent several hours renewing friendship with the faculty and students at Western College last Wednesday. President Clark of Southern University, Shreveport, La., was a visitor at Western last Tuesday. I. Garland Penn was a caller at the Western College on Saturday, September 29th. He is secretary of the President's Aid Society. The Local Board of Manafiers of Western College met in the president's office at the college, Wednesday, October 30, at four o'clock. The board meets monthly during the coming school year. At this session, plans for the year, and recommendations from the president, and reports for the State Convention were considered. Mrs. Tranzer, of St. Louis, Mo, was (Continued on page four) By J. E. Mason There has prevailed a most unkind sentiment towards the State of Arkansas. This sentiment get its inception in that peculiar vulgar episode "The Slow Train Through Arkansas." I have traveled over several states this summer. I don't know of any city where the Negroes are more uniformidly progressive than the city of Fort Smith. Those of us who have allowed ourselves to become billiardiously indifferent from the reading of these many sordid and stories that are surcharged with levity, find ourselves at a complete loss when we visit this city. You will find hers men and women of the race actively engaged in all the pursuits of life. The racial feeling is the best in the South. This is evidenced by the public works, post office employees and the activity of our group in the varolus manufacturing institutions. One will be forced to notice the extent of the pavements. As is the general rule in the South, the Negro settlemtn never has its part of the pavements, lights and sewerage. Not true with Ft. Smith, the entire section of the Negroes are well lighter, paved and has sewerage connection. Ft. Smith is now undergoing or enjoying the greatest building period of its history. Street work is being done by many of our group. Our people are represented on the police department with instructions to arrest all who break the law. This in itself is a departure from the conventional sentiment of most of the southern cities. Ft. Smith is the cleanest city of its size west of the Mississippi. The lesson of sanitation is well taught here by the city taking the initiative. You will find here an industrious serious minded people. The wonderlust has not as yet made its appearance in this community. There seem to be a spirit of contentment on the part of our group and that of progress and peace on the part of the whites. That community interest, harmony, civic energy, and Ft. Smith's pep seem to dominate. Now in the line of various endeavors you will find our undertakers, Messrs Johnson and Rowell; grocers, the Hilman Grocery Company, John Flanigan, Mose Hentell, all of whom enjoy a lucrative business. They have a bakery owned and controlled by Mr. Rutlege, shoe shop by Mr. Cary, hotels an drestaurants abound. There are some of the most modern homes that can be found anywhere in this city owned by our people. Such homes as Prof. E. O. Trent, Dr. J. L. James, Dr. N. H. Lockhart, Dr. S. W. Harrison, Mrs. Millie Stradford, W. A. Rowell, Andy Johnson and others too numerous to mention. With respect to churches, you will find the most beautiful and expensive edifices than any place in the State. The Mallalue M. E. church far exceeds any church in the south-west. This church cost near $75,000. As to beauty in design, aesthetic taste it far exceeds any in the city. The 9th Street Baptist church, while not displaying as much architectural beauty, cost more than the M. E. church. The A. M. E. and C. M. E. trail closely to the two just mentioned. Here you find preachers earnestly striving to serve the people. The school is being improved and the whites are doing their part to clarify the moral conditions that effect both races. This is being said with hope to place Arkansas and Ft. Smith in the best light it decries. The lodges all seem to be quite prosperous. The K. of P. is constructing a hall at a cost of $15,000.00. This organization has much real estate. The Odd Fellows also are making heavy investments. This town has a revival of sentiment, the Grand Lodge of the U. B. F. and S. M. and T's have just closed a successful session. They went away singing praises of this wonderful city on the river. Wilful and malicious propaganda has militated against the welbang of this State. Much adverse criticism has been had and is still evident by those who have uncon-Cloudy accepted the jocular and insidious stories that got too far ahead. chee-stories were broadcast without the remotest idea of a financial and moral hurt to the common welfare. But the stalwart men and women of this state are overcoming this set prejudice by constructive work and nobleness of the heart.

Perkins FACTS WORTH KNOWING There are two kinds of curiosity, xnorbid and intelligent. The one is useless—even harmful. The other is the driving force that is behind all science and all progress. A man gets out of an automobile in a busy street to pump up a tire. A hundred people gather round to watch him. The same people will stand around a man who has fallen and injured himself, gaping at him, and interfacing with those who want to aid him. They gain nathing by being th him. They gain nothing by being there. They have seen hundreds of tires pumped up—scores of men fall down. Their curiosity only breeds rudeness and illness. Intelligent curiosity is born in the human being. It prompts the baby to pull his rattle to pieces, and later on to punch a hole in his drum to see what is inside that makes the noise. In finds its fullest development in the painful investigation of the scientist, seeking to solve the riddle of the universe. Finding out how things work is almost all of useful knowledge. The man who is indifferent to his surroundings is not going very far on his journey in this world. He needs curiosity. It is important that he should gratify it. He ought to be curious about the growth of the tree, the manner in which buildings are put up, or battleships are put together—the movements of the stars in their courses. He ought to cherish an abiding thirst for knowledge—knowledge about everything. Such a man will get an education whether or not he ever sees the inside of a college building. His curiosity, rightly directed, will force him to know things—and knowing things is education. The child who asks countless questions should be encouraged. Moreover his curiosity should be employed as a means of educating him. It should be fed, and developed, and made greater as the years go by. And presently it will send him out into the world determined to find out things for himself. When he reaches that stage, his parents and teachers can stop worrying about him.

TASTY DISHES A nice way to serve cabbage, when one has plenty of time for its preparation is: Cabbage Rolls Boil a small cabbage in salted water until the leaves are soft enough to roll without breakage. Drain and when cool enough to handle, cut the leaves into six-inch squares. Mix one pound of chopped steak, one cupful of uncooked rice, one and one-half tea-pooffuls of salt, one minced onion and a beaten egg, with a few dishes of sayene pepper. Put a heaping tea-poofful of the mixture on a square of cabbage and roll into rolls the size of a finger. Have ready a salted, into it put a perforated kettle or colander in which the rolls may be placed to keep from touching the bottom of the kettle, as they burn quickly. See that the rolls are covered with water and cook covered for forty-five minutes or until the rice is done. Serve with drawn butter sauce. Kippered Herring Salad Take one smoked herring, boil five minutes in water to cover. Drain, bone and shred it. To one-half cupful of the shredded fish add two cupfuls of diced celery, one green pepper chopper, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of salt, one-eighth of a teaspoonful each of onion salt, pepper an dpaprika, one chopped hard-cooked egg, and enough mayonnaise to molten well. Arrange on beds of lettuce and serve with more mayonnaise. Spanish Beefsteak is Good Pounding meat before cooking is an old-fashioned method of making it tender. While it has the advantage of breaking down the tough tissues, it has the disadvantage of driving out the juices and with them the flavor. A way of avoiding this loss is by pounding flour into the meat, says the United States Department of Agriculture. The flour catches and retains the juices. The department suggests the following method of making Spanish beefsteak: Cover two pounds of round steak, cut about one inch thick, with enough flour on each side to absorb the juices. Pound the steak until it is quite thin. Season with salt and sayenne pepper. Cover with a layer of sliced bacon or salt pork, roll it up and tie with a string. Place in a baking dish of earthen ware or glass, with a tight-fitting lid. One cupful of milk and half cupful of water are added, and the steak is baked for two hours. It should be basted occasionally. The oven should be medium hot, and more liquid should be added if the original amount cooks away. MY HEART IS INDITING A GOOD MATTER One of the greatest play houses in the state was opened here last week. The Grand is owned and operated by Negroes of this city. It has been said by the show going public that it is the finest in the state. In fact, there has been more money invested in this moving picture show than any in the state with no exception to race. The lagal battle put up by W. H. Walker and young Westley freed Mrs. Daisy Welch who with her husband were accused of the killing of officer Teaft. Mr. Welch is now serving in the state penitentiary a life term for the supposed murder. It is the common belief of the public and was proven by the colored lawyers, that Teaft was shot by his associated officer who went with him to make the arrest. The colored lawyers are working hard to take Mr. Welch an innocent man, out of the penitentiary. Any race of people who has no more sense than to invest 85 per cent of their money into churches should be made to feel the "gift" of suffering Those fools who made their pilgrimage across the continent into California should be treated for the sufferers of the brain. There was more money given the railroads than wine collected for Missions and Educational purposes. There should be a way to make these circular men dicants. They loaf all the week, plan to take the tolling dollars from the ignacant on Sunday and keep in operation a series of meetings that serve to keep the Negroes' mind from approaching danger. If the Republicans have the political insight, diplomacy, cunningness and row-right decency they are able to take the state from the rebel Democracy. Have they got it? The Improved Industrial Order of Wisemen pulled off the best program last Sunday here that any judge has in the state or city. This judge is growing by leaps, the reason of this is, it has a business side to it. Unlike the "Old Orders" you don't have to get sick or die before you are considered. Our present couch system was handed down to our forefathers and handed down to our forefathers by their masters, we don't need the old fossilized heritage; it is caused too much disorganization and too expensive to maintain. All Negroes don't belong to just one denomination. We need the Catholic system without it creed. None but a feel and a pimp would argue that too many Negroes are going north, if they can stay in the thirteen states, surely they can live in the 35 above the Mason and Dyron line. To argue the Negro should stay south is to place your approval on the crimes, outrage and raping of Negro women throughout the South. No race can come up in a community or state, where they are denied the right of suffrage. The Negro should scatter all over the West, East, and North. He has been in the South about 305 years. Don't thing it is it etoml emfwyp Don't you think it is time to move? There can be no hope in the South for the Negroes, we have been telling ourselves a lie and allowed ourselves to be "kiddel" over that Southern allime put out by Booker T. Washing- MME. R. J.

This is a Southern idea trying to slip back in power and destroy the 15th Amendment. It is the dying kick of the "old South" in a disguise form. Millions of Negroes will migrate west during the spring and summer. This migration has not gotten under way as yet, just a few workmen went north. The most colossal scheme is being arranged for next spring. In fact, we have no confidence in the southern white man any more. We just can't believe him if we would. Our faith, confidence an dmight say even respect, have all but vanished. We may fear him, but we can't love him.
