THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER WHITE WEN CONSORT WITH COLORED WOMEN IN THE SOUTH White Judge Paces White Men Less for Participating in This Debauchecy. This Seems to be Prevail Over the Enter South, and is Notoriously Accented by the Whites as a God-given Right. When Will the Colored Men of the South Learn to Stand Up and Defend the Virtue of their Women? If the Most Dignified, Leading Colored Men Were Found in Similar Conditions With the Lowest, Degraded White Women There Would be a Mob Composed of White Men of This Same Class Who Were Found With These Colored Women Ready to Lynch These Colored Men. (Preston News Service) New Orleans, L.I., Oct. 25.—When the police swopen down on the roominghouse operative by Mrs. Julia Washington and M. Pannie Mitchell resulting in roundup tweets-two white men holding a party with white and Negro women partners who were charged with disturbing the peace. It was said that when the officers were attracted to the houses by the extraordinary amount of bilarity at an early hour in the morning, but just a few hours past midnight they demanded to see the licenses under which the houses were operated. When the licen ce were not forthcoming the officers used inside a stampede resulted Police say, a white men were found under the bed in closets, and it felt in even receivable hiding place. One white man, who is said to be very prominent business man, he declared that he usually took in meals at the Washigton house where ever he felt like it His name to Thomas J. Kelly, and he appeared in court as spokes a. for the entire group of white me. Each of the men was found 5700 and the women were a closed 3500 each. "NEGRO DOMINATION" Washington.—The population of the South us a whole form. 30.9 per cent of the population of the United States. Of the 33,014,445 inhabitants of the 17 southern states, including the District of Columbia, a tribe more than one-fourth of about 2.9 per cent are colored. In other words, in each group of 1,000 persons living in the southern states 721 are white and only 269 are colored, a condition that makes a joke out of the vicious end of "Negro Domination" by ignorant politicians. Prior to the present migration, Mississippi and South Carolina were the only states in which the colored population constituted 50 per cent or more of the total state populations. The colored population of Georgia was 41.7 per cent of the total; that of Louisiana 38.9 per cent; Alabama 38.4 per cent, and Florida 34.0 per cent. In no other southern state, including the District of Columbia, does the colored population form as much as 30 per cent of the state population. THE OHIO CONSTITUTION Ohio is the only state in the Union with a constitution that says that all voters must be white. That constitution, today, says that to be a voter one must be a "white male citizen of the United States of the age of twenty-one years." This restriction, of course, is nullified by the United States Constitution, which, in Article XV, the amendment adopted in 1870, grants equal rights of suffrage. The last effort to remove the word "white" from the state constitution was unsuccessfully made in 1912, when forty-two amendments were submitted. The one eliminating the word "white" was defeated by a vote of 265,693 to 242,735. MARRIED MEN In spite of the economic handicaps under which the average Negro male labor, he, not unlike his white brother, believes in the building up of home ties, a conclusion which is based on the fact that 294 colored males in each 1,000 who have reached the age of 15 years or more, are married, as compared with 407 among the white males. The State of Texas easily leads in the number of divorced colored males and females, and is followed by Alabama and Mississippi. Divorced females greatly outnumber the males who have dissolved the marriage contract by legal authority. A QUESTION ANSWERED Mr. Jane Trottman, Topeka Kans. Dent Malarie. I try to your inquiry as to what the colored people of Topeka are doing, I am getting a few of the many things which I have you may use to advantage for both races. We are proud that some good white Christian woman is interested enough to equate us to what the colored people are doing along moral, Christian, educational and business lines. We have hundreds of children attending school. The prejudice seems to be against the little people who are compelled to go blocks away from home and be a schoolhouse to teach a moral selected place through cold rain, sleet and snow to satisfy the prejudice of their white Christian neighbor, or hauled across town like a man of Hitching's animals. The new our who can protect them from the white lives are permitted to attend the High School both faces get along nicely. The little kids were let alone they could be less prejudice. They don't own who pride the Devil, so the colored is doing nicely in Tonga and St. Anne county for the opportunity they have in Tonga. Topeka can boast of having a good census of white people who will aid and assist colored people along certain lines of work. Whenever we can of service to you on any informa- tion pertaining to the colored people let us know. We are not the only face of people who have drones and trow-backs in Topeka; all races have them; but let us not condemn the good ones for the actions of the bad. The colored people of Topeka can boast of about 20 per cent who own or are buying property. Several grocery stores, boarding houses, cafes, tailor shops, cleaning, dyeing and pressing concerns barber shops, one hotel, several dress makers, hair dressing, one chironolist, several doctors, several hand boundries, two of which have electric machines; one old established hand laundry owns their building; several mechanics working at all trades; contractors for plumbing, carpentry, stone and brickmasonry; one newspaper owns the building, type-setting machine, cylinder press, job press, and typesetting machine; several successful lawyers, policemen, two lady welfare workers, one deputy county clerk, one deputy county treasurer who has been with the office for years and knows the county's business from A to Z; one deputy marshall of the city count, one fire department, several churches and lodges, one lodge owns a $25,000 00 building on Kansas Ave; several farmers and gardeners, several teamsters, market and vegetable wagons, several school teachers, one industrial and trade school, one milling store, hundreds of young of colored men and women capable for clerkship, stenographers, were it not for the prejudice of our high Christian civilized white American citizens. About 800 colored men working in the Santa I'e shops at certain trades would be in all departments were it not for the prejudice of the other race. Only a few years ago a colored man could not get a job in the shops. The war brought on these wonderful changes. We have some of the finest caterers and cooks in Topcka and will equal or excel others in any community. They prepare and serve for most of the fashionable weddings and dinner parties in the city. None are considered swell unless some of the leading colored lady caterers are connected with the preparation and serve --- Eventide For Ku Klux Klan White Cross or Red Cross—No Con- gress—No Lobby and Mr. Rammell, of Atlanta, she in his proposal on a table of President Coolidge to enroll a Race Commission, and the S. Giles B. Jackson, of Richmond, and Proof J. Salus Harris, of Kana- City, Mo., could be seen hurrying o the praises of racial measures, proving that they were not dead, only becoming, for the good that men do is interested with their bones. Thus, there is again resurrected the taught of a tribunal to deal with the matter of interracial adjustments in America; to treat with the iniquitous aftermath of the disintegrating processes which wink and blink at certain constitutional provisions, while upholding others; and to wear a Halloween mask to hide the likes and dislikes of citizens of a Republic who have been taught to fear God, and who have sworn to love their country and their fellow man. What, though, of Llaine, Arkansas, East St. Louis, Ill., Chicago, Ill., Washington, D. C., and a dozen other places where disorder has forcefully succeeded order? The Chicago Commission on Race Relations worked valiantly for months in delving into racial relationships in that city. The findings and admonitions of the able man who served on that commission were distributed about the four corners of the country. And yet thoughtful people assert that so far at late-night peace is concerned in Chicago, but little progress has been made. It's not the commission's fault. The work it did was well done, but I like unforced laws which lay on the nature book, rather than in the mind of those whom they were intended to comfort, they are become as thick cumbra and a sounding bass. In ghostly attire, they glide swiftly to the cemetery of disuse when hand of flesh and blood reach to grasp them. Read the cases of Rives vs. Virginia, Strauler vs. West Virginia, and dozens of other cases involving constitutional questions affecting black folk. Note the show but some civic and social progress which the son of Ham are making. Then send for Attorney Scipio Jones, who by the way, is another Arkansasan, and have to all those who would have a Race him make some friendly suggestions Commission in America. And then if Mr. Jones would have such a commission—which we doubt—circularize every other race in America, that they may also advocate the Race Commission idea. And if they, too, establish race commissions to deal with their particular racial difficulties, it will take nearly all the other people in America just to keep their book and records up to date, to say nothing of producing remedial solvents. HELP FROM CATHOLIC (Lincoln Service) According to the Baltimore Herald, the Knights of Columbus have endorsed and promised financial aid to the erection and maintenance of a memorial His Eminence James Cardinal Gibbons, to be known as the Cardinal Gibbons Institute. This institution, which will be located on a 200 ncre tract of land near Baltimore, is to be devoted to the higher education of Negroes, and its purpose is to assist in the movement for the advancement of the colored Catholics of the country.

OCTOBER 26, 1923 FRENCH BOYS TAKE ORDERS FROM DAD H Y Assembly at Topka High School 250 Girls Join I. W. "I believe it in the boys in heaven have a better chance to make a mark in the world than in any of the other states in the United States," said Mr. Frank H. West, state secretary of the Y. M. C. A., who spoke at the III-Y assembly at Topeka high school. "I spent five years in Europe and during that time found that the American children have a great deal more freedom and privilege than the children of other countries. In France when a child is told to do something by his parents it is done without any argument or the child is severely punished. Boys and Girls Separated "In most cases boys and girls do not go to the same school and during their school life there is very little done but study. In the boys' schools there is very little athletics and no competition between the schools in any kind of games. "The boys of France take orders from their fathers and are not comrades in the way the Y. M. C. A. is trying to teach men and boys to be in the United States. "In America there is a great deal more initiative and resourcefulness and they know how to play the game together better than in any other country." New Y. W. Secretary Speaks "Joining the Y. W. C. A. extends the influence to the other girls, and one feels at home wherever she may go at the Y. W. C. A., as I have found out from my experiences all over the country," said Miss Florence Warner, new secretary of the Central Y. W. C. A., who made a short talk at the Pil Reeve assembly at the High church. Others who spoke at the assembly again, Ann Brewer, president of the mealization; Poshia Newman, Doris limone; Frances Boad and Naoline Rack. The singing was led by Miss Glance W. Wilson. Sixty Boys Join Hi-Y Immediately following the assembly the students were given a chance to join the organizations and 250 girls agreed pledges for the Girl Reserves and sixty boys signed pledges for the HI-Y. All pledges are not yet paid but the students will be given chance to pay them Friday. [We agree with the French. If the American parents would use the same methods that the French use on their children they would be better off. The trouble in America is, the children run the parents.] -Editor.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY HAS HEAVY ENROLLMENT Washington.—Indications point to an enrollment of approximately 1,200 students at Howard University for the first-semester of the present college year. This number, when added to the three upper-year classes, will undoubtedly bring the total student body of Howard to the highest figure ever reached in the history of the institution. PEANUT MILLIONAIRES Dosecendants of liberated American slaves, repatriated to Africa by American abolition societies in 1823, have petitioned the Government of the British possessions to specify the day in teh next three months when they may celebrate the centennial of their establishment on MacCarthy Island in the Gambia River. The chief industry is agriculture, and peanuts form the principal crop, cotton and sisal having been neglected almost entirely in favor of peanuts, from which English chemists, during the war, extracted glycerine necessary to feed the guns. There are several Negro peanut millionaires. The women are not generally educated; poliarmy is practiced; and domestic slavery is recognized, although commerce in slaves is forbidden. --- OFFICERS FIND MAN HAS DOZEN GUNS IN HIS HOME (Preston News Service) Memphis, Tenn., Oct. 25.—"I am only to defend my home if Iku Klux was ever comes to see me," was the am state not of Dorenza Holmes, and g. of Mation Ark., when office a lot him why he had so many lodgings in his home.

They had a "John Doe" warrant and caught his home resulting in the discovery of a dozen shotguns and several pistols as well as a large quantity of ammunition. He showed the officials that he had purchased the guns. He also informed them that he had been collecting these fire guns for the past 10 years. The officers claim that Holmes has some of the finest makes of guns. Holmes is said to be a well respected man in his community. PROMINENT WASHINGTON TEACHER SUCCEEMS TO 0 HEART ATTACK (Freton News Service) Washington, D. C., Oct. 25.—Prof. G. Luther Sadgwar, for many years prominently identified with the Washington Public schools as drawing teacher, died suddenly at the wheel of his automobile, following an unfortuneen heart attack last Saturday morning.

NEGROES WIN PRIZES AT EXHIBIT (Freton News Service) Conway, Ark. Oct. 25--Exhibits entered in the Arkansas State Fair at Little Rock by Negro farmers and club members of Falkner county, won high honors. The exhibit brought first prize for county exhibit; second place on the corn exhibit as well as sweet potatoes. According to H. T. Mattison, the county agent, the products entered at Little Rock were taken largely from the exhibits shown at the Faulkner county fair by Negro farmers here recently. Mr. Mattison says that he is exceedingly interested in this as it is an evidence that Negro farmers have made great progress in this country; and have shown conclusively that agricultural conditions can be improved and made more profitable. He declared that less than a score of young Negro men have migrated from Faulkner county during the past six years. In fact, he states, many Negroes have come into the county and settled on small farms, which they have developed very creditably.

The story, entitled "The Wisdom of Corilianus," won over 3,125 other manuscripts submitted from every state in the Union and from the British Isles, Canada, and other countries. Fifty-five per cent of the contestants for the $500 prize were women. The prize-winner's story dealt with a half-witted Negro, who effected a reconciliation between a young couple which had had a misunderstanding.

If YOUR Hair is Dry and Wiry, TRY— Barbecue Is Feature of Today's Agricultural Program Robert Good Addresses the Farmer Gathering East of City A football game between the Kansas Industrial and Educational Institute and the Santa Fe shop team was one of the features of entertainment at the annual fair and agricultural convention of the Kansas Industrial Institute last week. A barbacue was held at noon. Following the barbecue addresses were made by J. F. Jurrell, manager of the agricultural department of the Santa Fe railroad; and by T. M. Campbell, of the United States department of agriculture. This afternoon talks were made by Robert Turner, on "Trucking" and Herbert Bryant, on "Raising and Marketing Melons." The parade which was to have been staged on Kansas avenue was postponed because of the rains. Farmers attending the Sunflower State Agricultural association conference here were reminded of the fact that theirs is the "oldest profession in the world." "In no vocation or profession is there to be found a higher degree of satisfaction than that which comes to him who follows the oldest profession in the world," said Robert Good of Cawker City, in an address at the farmer gathering. "Ever since the day when the Lord decreed as is recorded in Genesis 3:19, 'In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread until thou return unto the ground' the agriculturist has been the mainstay of the world." Mr. Good who is an assistant state business maanger, represented Gov J. M. Davis, who was unable to speak because of recent illness. The association is composed of negro farmers throughout Kansas. The three-day convention and fair was held at Kansas I. and E. Institute. Pointing out that both capital and labor have weathered the storm of economic depression without serious effect, while the farmer has been hard hit. Mr. Good said: "There is a reason for this, and it can be found in just one phase: The farmers have no organization thru which they can exert their power. Like the parable of the bundle of sticks, they are easily broken, because they can be handled one at a time, but if they were bound together there is no power great enough to break them. Resolutions We, the Sunflower State Agricultural Association and Farmers' Conference assembled, do hereby extend to oud fellow farmers and industrial workers goetings, and make the following resolutions concerning things that seem most advisable and expedient for present conditions: 1. We urge our people to continue the policy of buying land, and homes and beautifying their property in every way, as becomes taxpayers and respectable citizens; and we strongly advise citizens not to sell any farm holdings merely for the purpose of relocating in some city. 2. We advise farmers to adopt a policy of diversification of farming, making the cow, the hog and the hen the principal factors in sustaining the farm home. 3. We advise farmers throughout the State to join cooperative associations that have as their purpose improvement of buying and selling conditions. 1. We urge farmers living near small towns and cities to go into truck raveling and the growing of small fruits. 5. We welcome and encourage farmers who come into this section to settle on farms of this state, rather than crowd into large cities. 6. The death rate among our people in the state of Kansas is 22 per 1,000, while among the white it is one 11 per 1,000. A large part of this is preventable. We urge, therefore, the improvement of sanitary conditions in the homes, the care and adequate ventilation of sleeping quarters and public assembly places, proper protection against weather conditions, and special precaution against the spreading of disease through strict adherence to the regulations of the health department of your city or town. We further urge every one to take especial care to prevent the spread of contagious diseases, especially common cold. 7. We urge our people to a policy of sanity that will prevent their being swept of their feet by every new movement that arises, and will lead them to join every good movement for civic betterment and for the enforcement of the laws of the country, state and federal government. 9. We wish to call the attention of our people everywhere to the fact that industrial plans are being thrown open to them, and to urge them to go into these plants and make good, to learn the cereal technical methods that will make them essential factors in the advancement of the plant. 10. We urge upon our people a broad education, involving the learning of trades—e specially those most needed now—a thorough religious training, and a sound moral education. We further wish to call attention to the vital need for a well prepared ministry, a larger force of physicians, and a better prepared teaching force, and to urge men and women to enter these fields.

IN MEMORIAM In loving remembrance of my dear mother, Mrs. Mattie D. Marshall, who departed this lift one year ago, October 27, 1924. A year ago, my mother, dear From me was called away; And in my loving heart I prayed That she with me might stay. But in His wisdom God saw best A messenger to send To take her to His heavenly home Where joy does never end. Now, through the eyes of faith I see my mother free from pain, And while I miss her every day, My loss is her tute gain. Her influence will ever be A blessing pure an dsweet, Her faith will help me on the way Until he there I meet. So while my heart is lone and sad, I look to Him above; To give me solace in my grief, He is the God of love. By her devoted son, Albertue I. Pogue. In loving memory of our Beloved Wife and Mother, Mrs. Mattie D. Marshall, who passed away one sad year ago October 27, 1922. She has just gone on before us, But she turns and waves her hand, Pointing to that glory o'er us, On that happy spirit land Where we shall some day meet her. In Memory of Our Beloved Daughter and Sister, Mattie Marshall, Who Left This World one Sad Year Ago, October 27, 1922. Softly the stars are shining, Over a quiet grave In which our dear one lies sleeping Whom we loved I but could not save. Mrs. Eliza Pogue and family.
