THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER KANSAS DELEGATES SHOULDN'T TRY TO BUY THEIR WAY BACK TO CONGRESS KARRY HAS WAS SEE CAV. AND, THE PEOPLE WANT CLUB. IF NO ONE CAN OTHERS WILL, THE COORLD GROUP OF THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT WANTS A DEDICATE. OUR WISH IS, REAL CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF HOG' EVERY- CHING ALL THE TIME. How this Congratulation will in arms I excited about these you have sold, who, if $0.000 a month, had good treatment, town wives and parents were sold off and several States have given them bonuses and several more so. We do not believe in extravagance and we believe in doing what is best by those who defended the good name of the tax eminent. If the World War veterans are bashing their patriotism on money, then they are very poor citizens. The Spanish war veterans volunteered and went in to do the job. They did not ask for any bonus, neither have the been given money, but most all of those who incurred any sickness or disease, or became in captalled, are not drawing pensions. We do not drink the Senator and Congress men should use the tax payers' money to invest their interest for re-election to Congress, as we believe at a large majority of those in Congress do not believe this bond will pass this time but taxes should be reduced, but in order to be elected we would, once cases upon the people that would cause their property to be captured and then come poverty-struck not all the States, we have passed the bonds law, help their own boys before asking the Government. We further believe that this bonus proposition is a waste of money—not doing the real good it was intended to do the veterans of the World War. From close observation of the 25 millions already paid out in Kansas, we would say that 75 per cent of the amount has bee. "Strain away in gambling, drinking, buying automobiles and other luxuries which are of no benefit to the veterans of their friends. So it is better to wait until the veterans have grown to real manhood and can realize the value of their duty. They are more like children, wasting money when they should be in the hands of the taxation who could use it to a better settlement." We shall ask the Representatives of the First District to send us as a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1921. Our platform shall be against paying at bonus to strong and healthy veterans at this time, and the enforcement of the 11th, 15th, and 18th Amendments to the Constitution, and the release of the soldiers of the 21th Infantry now in the Federal Prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, for defending their lives and the honors of their women in the Houston (Texas) riot in 1917. The group with which we are identified believes it is time we are being recognized by the Republican Party with which we have been identified for years, but never have been recognized by the stronger portion of the party. Surely the Colorado people could have a few empathy honors if no paying position. We want our Republican friends to take notice and govern themselves, accordingly. Always remember, there are breakers ahead. 3. Beddoler 1651 Western Ave State Historical Society Newspaper Section To the Kansas Baptists Dearl. Beloved: Alittle more than two months ago our brother and Missionary of 27 years, dev. J. H. Vanleu, passed from labor to rewain whom attendance at the National Baptist Convention assembled in annual session at Los Angeles, Cal. Words cannot ascribe the good service and helpful inspiration of Christ and His Kingdom that was rendered Kansas Baptists and the Western world in the many years of labor and sacrifice through suppression, need and suffering. To the vision of the sanctified Van Leu we one much of the advance work of the State and the determination for Baptist perpetuity. There are few States in the National Baptist convention that have a Missionary pastor program so well laid and worked out as the State of Kansas. It is the future life of the Baptist in generations to come. Thus this program, pastors are able to work on small fields with a Christian contentment and satisfaction. Again, to Dr. J. H. Vunleu, we owe the establishment of the summer school held each year at Topeka, where the ministers of the State and even those of other states are privileged to come and study together under competent and experienced teachers, the world of God and the problems of pastoral life. This institution is a long felt need and opens an laborers in God's vineyard. Last, but by no means least, the founding and establishing of Central Baptist Theological Seminary at Topeka is the vision of our sainted Van Leu, who now watches the movement of the Baptist family from his tower on high. We pray that this institution will ever be a memorial to the services, sacrifices and suffering of J. H. VanLeu. We thank God for the life and service of such a minister. To us he is alive because in whatever direction we look and whatever the object we behold we see Dr. J. H. VanLeu, State missionary of Kansas 21 years. It was providence that made vacant the office of the State Missionary of Kansas Baptist Convention, placing the responsibility upon the messengers in attendance at the annual meeting to select a successor to the NICK CHILES. Editor. Icte Dr. J. H. VanLeu. To our observation, never before all a religious assembly go about its task be righteously and reverently to select a missionary for the Kansas Baptist. Since our Convention in selection of its State Missionary or executive secretary as the office will be designated in the future, was absolutely free from an atmosphere that surrounds and controls political convention, we all can but truthfully feel that the holy Ghost was with the Baptist in the emplacement of the office. So Brethren, let us march on. Put over the program of the missionary pastors, Summer School, and the Central Baptist Theological School to the memory of Rev. J. H. Vanleya and to the giors of God. The task that is for now is the $10,000 Budget for the State work. While this is a small amount for the number of baptists it is greater than we have yet been able to realize. So this year let us put the job over, or as Rev. Gen McNeal says, "Report to God the way why." The Budget for this year is pro- priated to the District as follows: New Valley, $3,000; Southeastern, $2,000; Southwestern, $1,500; North- western, $1,500; Smoky Hill, $1,000; Neosho Valley, $1,000. Ere this assessment requires you, the first quarterly Board meeting of most all districts will be history. Those which we have met have responded readily to the new program. We pray that all will do likewise. The amount of Budget for each district for first is: Kaw Valley, $750; Southeastern, $500; Southeastern, $375; Northwestern, $375; Smoky Hill, $250; Neosho Valley, $250. Now, brethren, if you fall short of your quarterly demands, don't leave your board meeting without devising plans to have the money collected and sent to the executive secretary before the next board meeting. Remember there will be no January State Board meeting this year. Your money will have to be sent directly to your secretary and to this office. If sent here two receipts will be sent. One to you and one to your secretary. This condition affects the women's convention, Sunday school, B. Y, P. U., and all source collectible money for the work during the year.

PRICE FIVE CENTS, $1.50 PER YEAR A Respective Board of the State Bp Convention made a feeble treat in place Dr. Perkins, with their favour, Dr. Parkins are time has Masonry work up and colored by the source that does the paying. The public at large is horrified by such christian theistic and will not stand for it. Victious politics should not be permitted to enter the proceedings of our Christianity. This board has invited a long and nasty fight. It is predicted that the funds will be held up until this matter is settled to the satis- faction of the general board. There should be an interdenominational congress, composed of the best brain of all the Negro denominations. This body should set until a program could be properly effected and given to the various denominations of the country. In this way there would be perfected one great denomination for the American Negro. The present system is too extravagant, weak, and is used to keep the Negro separated in many groups. The membership of the various creeds should look to that end. It is not expected that the ministry would approve of anything that would take from his a job. It is to his advantage to keep the Negro for the sake of Christianity and racial unity we should do this. There is no denomination that has a copyright on heaven, after all; it is the life of the individuals that counts for Christianity and not his denomination. The first thing is to be a Christian; it does not matter which way Paul went, or how stubborn Barmabas became, neither does it matter how long John stayed on Patmus. What we need to know is that Christ, our redeemer, God our Father, and man our brother. If we could get our women as active in opposing the Jim Crow laws, the disfranchisement, the Lynching, and the general abuses the Negro receives as they in soliciting for the church and the pastor's salary, we would get somewhere. We have practiced deceit, pretended satisfied under brutal treatment, ignored vicious laws, that were made against us, until we are about to be re-enslaved. We must organize to oppose every vicious law that is against us. We must not accept every thing and try to get comfort by singing "Jesus will pay it all." Faith without work is no more good than work without faith. Unless we remit some of the things that are being heaped upon us even those white friends who are inclined to assist us will become disgusted at our bovine submissiveness and grinning contentment. Millions of dollars are being invested to keep the Negro happy; great big conventions and conferences convocations and the like are part of the program. When an army of Negroes meet in their various church meetings they do not represent the welfare of the race, but the welfare of a given denomination. They are not interested about the conditions of the race only as it pertains to his Church, for that reason we do not get anything from the many church meetings. Had you thought of this? Well, just look but kand see what effect did any of their meetings have on your condition? Unless something is done and done quickly, the young Negro will quit the church and find his way to the moving picture show. They are real disgusted in investing millions of money in churches where only one man can get a job. Here in Mukogee, we have 49 churches in a radius of eight miles and not an orphan home, hospital, day nursery, or club room. Is not this a vicious system? Is not it a shame to pass My Heart Indites A Good Matter The investigation over at Oklahoma City seems to have struck a at the real issue behind all this has not yet come to the front. Democrats are rated of a fair on law, to get rid of Walton have then cause latter in the fur the think. No Negro can give at to this outrage.

The city is noted for its hospitality and even though I have made it my home for two years and visit there on an average of once a month, each visit new friends are made and old friends leave no stone unturned to make it pleasant for me. It was my pleasure to worship, Sunday at St. John and listen to a wonderful sermon forcefully delivered by Dr. Ransom. He appealed to his hearts to have faith in their own. Lieut. Boliver Watkins, an overseas hero, of St. Louis, who married into one of the oldest and most respected families of Topeka—the Ellis family—is making his home in Topeka and holds a prominent position in the clinical department of the post office. The Lieut. is well educated, a seasonal politician of the new school—tipe with experience, and has traveled widely. He is one of the most interesting men of our group in Topeka and is destined to do large things there. Topeka offers many advantages as a home town. Property can be bought on easy terms. Schools are well managed and offer many diversified courses. Colleges are open to all, regardless of color. The citizenship is on a high order, an all cost of living lower than is found in most cities. There are excellent opportunities for all kinds of business enterprises and especially real estate, drug store, cafe, barber shops, grocery stores. However one expecting to enter business there should have ample capital to open a first class place and to tide him over a period of three to six months. NORTH 10PEKA By Emther Johnson Mrs. Idu M.
