THE TG EKA PLAINDEALER TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR, NUMBER FORTY-SIX THE K. U. TRUSTEES SHOULD LOOK AFTER CHANCELLOR LINDLEY Who Seems To Hate the Prosperous Colored People Chancellor Lindley, Kansas University, Lawrence, Kansas. Dear Chancellor: Find enclosed clipping of a letter from a colored student of the State Agricultural College. If what is said is true, you should resign the exalted position you hold. No one but a high class Chalstian and farmlind gentleman should be allowed to hold such a position. MRS. BLANCHE WARD SNELSON IS DEAD Mrs. Blanche Ward Snelson, wife of Dr. I. C. Snelson presiding elder of the Memphis District, A. M. E. Church, has passed from labor to reward. The end quietly came last Friday night at the family residence, 920 S. Fifth St. She had been ill for several months and one of her possessions was made by For years before you were thought of in connection with this great University, colored students played on the football team and enjoyed all the school privileges of any other students. The late Charles Gleed and his brother J. W., and many other white graduates who went out in the world and trade good always took price to express good fellowship for Sherman Harvey and B. K. Bruce and other colored graduates from K. U. These students did not seek equality but they wanted equal privileges and fair treatment which was given them by such high class Christian Chancellors as Chancellor Strong and Chancellor Snow, who would not stoop to a low trick or connive with low bred students who seem to be in the majority in colleges and institutions that are incubators of bank robbers, auto thieves, crooks and immoral leffers. Most all bandits and other outlaws captured are young white men who are college graduates or quitters from such institutions where the chancellor or the trustees allow the faculty and student body to array class against class or race against race. These institutions belong to the people and the people demand fair treatment for all. We are informed that no colored medical students are given an equal chance to apply themselves to all studies as the whites. They are buried from the surgical and operation rooms. They also are not permitted to experiment or do that which might advance them to finish and get their diplomas. That you are not fair to the colored students, that you allow your faculty to be discoureous toward colored students. Now, Mr. Chancellor, the late Governor Robinson deeded some of the land where now stands that great institution, that there should never be any discrimination of race or color. Now for you to come at this momentous time to widen instead of narrowing the breaches between races and nations is more than we can understand. The taxpayers of Kansas want the students to learn what the Golden Rule means and honor the taxpayers for such great institutions. Now, Mr. Chancellor, give the colored students an even break and have them feel like human beings. If you can not be fair to all, then resign and go south where the devil and his angels favor persecuting colored people. John Brown died that Kansas might be free and it is not for you or your kind to change it. Get right, Brother Lindley, or get out. Your're truly. Editor Topeka Plaindealer. The colored students attending the Kansas-State Agricultural College pride themselves at having taken a delegation in numbering twelve, over half the total enrolled, to Lawrence, two weeks ago to see the Aggie football squad battle a 0 to 0 game with K. U. To use their own words, the fairness and good will existing at the Agricultural College, prompts them to display their loyalty to their home team. A striking contrast between the two State institutions was brought out when their less fortunate brothers at the State University told them of the prejudice and unfavorable conditions existing against the colored students at K. U. It seems that Chancellor Lindley has made it very plain to them, that they are not wanted or the campus. This accounts for the fact that very few if any colored students from Lawrence ever follow their team. The students at the Agricultural College appreciate the fact that they (Continued on page 2, second col.) --- MRS. BLANCHE WARD SNELSON IS DEAD Mrs. Blanche Ward Snelson, wife of Dr. F. C. Snelson presiding elder of the Memphis District, A. M. E. Church, has passed from labor to reward. The end quietly came last Friday night at the family residence, 920 S. Fifth St. She had been ill for several months and every effort possible was made by medical skill to restore her to health, but all failed and the soul was freed from earthly toil to the joy of heaven's blessings. She was a beautiful character and her life was one of great service in her church. She possessed rare ability which gave her recognition among the leaders of her church and positions of trust, honor and responsibility, and she filled them with credit to herself and reflected honor upon her church. She was born of distinguished parentage in Columbus, Ohio, where she was reared and principally educated. There it was where she began her active Christian life, and there her remains test awaiting the resurrection of the body. She was a great help to Dr. Snelson in his church work, always encouraging in and helping him in whatever way needed. The funeral services were held at Avery Chapel Sunday at 2:30 p. m. The large auditorium was filled and chairs were used in the usles. A large crowd of ministers of all denominations were present to pay their tribute of respects to the memory of this great Christian woman, and to express their profound sympathy to Dr Snelson and the bereaved family. Dr. Grant, presiding elder, conducted the services. Dr. Howard offered prayer, Dr. A. L. DeMond read the scripture lesson, Dr. M. McCoo read the obituary, Dr. W. A. Smith, pastor of Avery Chapel, delivered the funeral oration. Drs. R. L. Langford, S. W. Broome and B. J. Perkins made remarks. Fitting and touching music was rendered by the choir of Avery Chapel. Thus passed from among the citizens of Memphis and the Christian forces one of the most useful women and beautiful characters of the race. On Sunday night, Dr. Snelson and his three daughters accompanied the body of Mrs. Snelson to her old home, Columbus, Ohio, where on Wednesday October 21th, the final funeral was held at St. Paul A. M. H. church amid a thousand of her former associates and home-folks who had known and seen her development from childhood. The Rev. A. J. Allen, present pastor of her church, was master of ceremonies, and the following ministers representing all denominations, made addresses, praising her life and extolling her noble character: Rev. J. S. Jackson, Rev. J. B. Pius, Rev. H. W. Cooper, Rev. T. D. Scott, Rev. H. D. Phillips, N. B. Allen, executive secretary of the Urban League, Rev. H. W. Smith, Rector, Rev. C. W. Tindull, and J. J. Lee, Esq., delivered the historical eulogy. The Rev. C. F. David, special messenger of Bishop A. J. Carey, and representative of the 14th Episcopal District, where Mrs. Snelson is chairman of the Executive Board Conference Missionary Society, preached the funeral sermon, text "This woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did." Joint choirs of the city rendered beautiful services, and Attorney L. H. Godman gave a wonderful solo. Her remains now rest in the old family plot in peaceful Greenlawn Cemetery, to await the resurrection. Dr. Snelson and family have the sincere sympathy of their hosts of friends throughout the United States and Africa. A clipping from the Olney (ill.) Advocate to The Topeka Plaindealer.

And it cried, Give my black soul music. The melody of the guitar. Give my black soul understanding Of a creed that says it is the color and not the man. It was a mellow, heart-tung voice, And it, pleaded, For a race that triumphs upon nature's mystery of black. MY MARGY A garden of Hollihocks is my face. Full of exotic, striking colors; But of all the flowers. There is none like my Brown Marig- A sunlit joyful, brown-eyed Poys. Yes, but A brown posy that An angel let drop as he was flying across son sky, A symbolical posy that he cried for upon losing, For that posy stood for true friendship. If I lose that same posy that the angel lost, Where, O where shall I find another? Will I, too, cry as the angel cried? For it will be my fault, if carelessly I let it drop. If you ever find that posy of friendship, Keep it safe in your heart, For The angel shall never get his again. PLAY ON I see hope, I regret the past, I made mistakes, Play on. Help me; I am fighting sin, false ideas, Temptations, Play on. I am trying, The star gleams brighter, I am coming back— I must arise: My voice calls me— My Race calls me— Oh, play on; Oh, play on. It is not too late; AN APPRECIATION The death of Mary Talbert calls our attention to the great work that our Negro women are doing. The Douglas Memorial, the fight for the Million Dollar Fund against Lynching, are all mighty efforts of our women. Mrs. Tolbert was undoubtedly our foremost leader among the Negro women of this country. She possessed intellect, a broad sympathetic personality, deep understanding and a wide experience. She had the respect and recognition of both races. The women are very well organized. They are even more so than the Negro men. The church, the school and the home are mostly supported by colored women. When the question of saving the Douglas Memorial came up, it was the women who finally took charge of it and saved it for black posterity. If we turn to the recent efforts to pass the Anti-Lynching bill, we will see that our women came to the front with Mrs. Talbert at the head of a seemingly lost battle. Now that Mrs. Talbert has passed into a land where prejudice does not exist, we wonder who will take her place. There are many women who possess personality and character, but so few seem intellect, many possess sympathy, have them all as Mary Talbert did. To be a leader one must rise up above jealousy and the petty things of life. He or she must have a strong sense of principle, a good brain, a willingness to serve, the ability to see all sides, impersonal judgment and love for his fellowmen. With this in mind the whole race wonders who will take Mary Talbert's place. SHADOWLAND Amidst the tall branchy trees, In the far off jungle land, Just at midnight when a quiet stillness Steals upon the banks of the Nile, Gaily dance forth the Afric nymphs, Ah, how they skip and hop and dance, All thru the trees, All round the water, Castling their black shadows On the mirror of the Nile. But suddenly, Out steps the white moon, And gives her white light To these black jungle fairies adancing, All thru the trees, All round the water, To the music of the rippling Nile.

I remembereth the day when ham, chicken and pork chops, crowded my menu and tantalized my aching palate. But old Hileost hath tampered with my change and I have sought far and wide for other lucious food. And I hath found it in neckbones and beans. I hear the pot simmering now and the gentle odor of corn bread floateth from the kitchen and tickleth me. And O we table when thou art set with cornbread, neckbones and beans. I heapst my plate with beans, decoateth the rim with bones and butteeth the cornbread with oleo. I putteth into my mouth a spoonful of succulent beans, bitteth off a hunk of hot cornbread and then juggleth with a juicy, greasy neckbone. I am content. Lobster Newburg, Chicken King and Livers Brochette, are nothing to this banquet board of tasty fare. My fingers are greasy and my face is greasy, but what care I? I have my cornbread, neckbones and beans! Deware of would-be leaders, O Son and Daughter, for they are full of noise and foolish crap. They howleth about the wrongs of the race and asketh four bits a howl. They promise to lead forth to victory with a brass hand and but leadeth thee closer to toe murk pit. When thou are not looking, they sneak to the buck door of the peck and barter your brains for a mes of cabbage. They telleth you to expect great things, and thou waitest many moons for nothing.

When Hannibal, the indominable swant skinned king of Carthage brought his army across the mighty Alps, he pointed down to the valley of the Po and exclaimed: "Beyond you lies Rome. Take it!" With a courage as great and a heart as feenless, one today can point the eyes of the Negro to an unlimited field of opportunity and cry: "Beyond you lies success. Take it." Success is not within the power of another man or race to give. It is within ourselves. Twelve millions of us in one country! Think of it! Twelve millions! Great God, what potential power! What endless wealth! What limitless chance for achievement! Twelve millions who are searching for the light and with all so blind that they grope in darkness seeking the way out! Beyond you lies success! Take it! Do something! Hope for something! Stop being beggars outside the closed gates! The path of ages is littered with the memories of nations that achieved with less than twelve millions! Think of the Jew in this country with less than four millions. He is hated, despised and spat upon, but he strives on. Let us strive, too. "Beyond you lion Rome! Take it! If you fail it will be because you are not worthy to win! But you will not fail!

THE SONGS OF SAM THE SUBTILE POWER OF PRIDE WOULD-BE LEADERS Leadership is no soft snap. EVERYBODY BUYS Swanay's Exchange 2060 N.3rd N. Kansas (Lit), Kans. CONGRESSMAN DYER ASKS FOR NEGRO SUPPORT ON ANTI-LYNCHING MEASURE Urges Negroes to Write Senators and Representatives Asking Them to Vote For Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill Pittsburg, Pa.—Spening before a large and enthusiastic audience, Congressman L. C. Dyer of St. Louis, Mo., urged the Negroes of Pittsburg and vicinity to support unitedly the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in all efforts for the betterment of the race and especially in connection with this antllynching measure which failed at passage at the last session of congress, in an address delivered in John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church, of which the Rev. E. L. Madison is pastor. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Pittsburg Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People of which Atty. Frank R. Stewart is president. Congressman Dyer was introduced by Rev. T. W. Wallace, a life long friend of the Dyer family. Congressman Dyer advanced many reasons why the anti-lynching bill known as the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, should be enacted into law. He gave a volume of facts showing why the measure was defeated at the last session of Congress and he also stated that he would re-introduce the measure at the next session of congress. He pointed out the many things that the Negroes of this country could do to create favorable sentiment for the measure, chief among them is for each Negro to send his senator and representative a letter, a telegram asking them to support the bill; also get your white friends in your community to use their influence for the passage of the measure. One of the greatest curses that ever fell upon a nation is that of mob violence. The United Statae leads in this barbaric curse. The victims of this curse are Negroes. The fair name of America must be secured; this curse must be obliterated. Negroes must join, whole hearted and earnestly, in this campaign of education to create favorable sentiment for this measure in order that the law may be rigidly enforced following its enactment, he concluded. COLUMBIA PROSPERITY A NEW WRITER We take great pleasure in introducing to our circle of readers a new writer, namely Columbia Prosperity. She a young lady graduate of one of the largest universities in this country. She has specialized in the writing field. She intends to contribute editorials, feature stories, and poetry.

THE SUBTILE POWER OF PRIDE "I am one man," said Montezuma to Cortez, the haughty Spanish conqueror. "You are another." There was pride in that—pride that sprang from centuries of noble blood, from great deeds done and from a spirit fearless before a show of force that spelled approaching doom. "Then will the Negro learn to say to everyone and all, "I am one man. You are another!" Will our race pride ever recover from the blight of fortune's trick? Will we ever learn that humanity is one and that nature knows nothing of difference? We are nothing now because we have allowed ourselves to believe it so. But once we were something, everything. What we once were we can become again. But to become, to arrive, to achieve, we must have faith and pride. Life is progression; stagnation is death. We need not try and build another Sphinx; another pyramid or another Hanging Garden. Sufficient unto that age are the gifts those men left. Now there are new conquests to make, new monuments to rear, new glories to share. God, fortune and opportunity, stand in the offering to aid. All that we need is true pride an ddetermination. The world is still large and civilization only begun. "I am one man. You are another." Nick Chiles, Editor and Publisher Miss Mattie A.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT There is no meat dish which is more enjoyable than that of chicken. The following method is one which is a great favorite. Maryland Fried Chicken.—Clean, singe and cut into pieces for serving two young chickens. Plunge into cold water, drain but do not wipe. Sprinkle with seasoning if salt and pepper and coat thickly with flour, having as much flour as possible adhere to the chicken. Fly out one pound of fat salt pork cut into pieces and cook the chicken slowly in the fat until tender and well browned, turning frequently. Serve with a white sauce made half of milk and half cream. Quick Nut Bread—Mix and lift two cupfuls of bread flour; add one-half cupful of sugar, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one teaspoonful of salt. And three table poonfuls of softened butter and two tablespoonfuls of milk; add one egg and one egg yolk, well beaten, one cupful of milk and one-half cupful of walnut malt broktn into pieces. Beat thoroughly and turn into a buttered pan. Let stand twenty minutes, then bake in a moderate oven. Turkish Soup.—Cook one-fourth of a cupful of rice in three cupfuls of brown soup stock until soft. Cook a bit of bay leaf, two slices of onion, ten peppercorns, one-fourth of a teaspoonful of celery salt with one and one-half cupfuls of tomato, thirty thirty minutes. Combine the mixture rub through a sieve, bind with two tablespoonfuls each of butter and flour cooked together. eSason with salt an dpepper and serve. Fruit Sauce.—Pour boiling water over one-fourth of a pound of dates; drain, stone and cut into pieces. Add one-half pint bottle of maraschino cherries and the sirup and one-half bottle of green figs with the sirup. Let stand over night, then add one-half pound of almonds blanched, shredded and browned. HOUSEHOLD QUESTIONS Add salt to starch water and it will prevent the starch from freezing out.

Dept. 22 (Special prices to Agents) HALLOWEEN AND THE KU KLUX KLAN Black brothers, don't worry about the Klan. It will take care of itself. Three years ago when the Klan was beginning its strong re-organization, it was so difficult to make some people realize its significance. It is not only too late but unnecessary to fight the Klan. Now the Klan is fighting within its own range. Non-members as brave Governor Walton are battling with them. We see here and there so many Negroes saying "What shall we do?" Roncoe Conklin Simmons says let the Klan alone and he is right. The Klan with its showy parade, ghostly costumes, and banners, is merely a Halloween celebration in this great historic procession. Its coming and going will be thought of as a mere superficial, mystic ignorant wave of Anglo-Saxon supremacy. Remember, Negroes, that even Rome fell by her own hands.
