THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER THE KANSAS UNIVERSITY MATTER AS SEEN FROM DIFFERENT ANGLES C. H. Jenkins Takes The Liberty to Sign Names of Number of Students, Claiming that Everything is "All Right" at the University Harrison W. Hollie Tells of His Personal Knowledge of Rgce Discrimination and Humiliations by Chancellor Lindley Hon. Nick Chiles, Topeka, Kansas. Dear Nick: I have just read your letter of the 15th inst., to Dr. Lindley. As usual you go off half cocked. Before you wrote the chancellor, taking him to task for conditions, none of which you enumerate, you should have gotten in touch with some of the students here and secured at first hand correct information as to actual conditions. If you had done that it would not have been necessary, for you to add, "if what is said is true." In your letter you have resorted to abuse and billingsgate rather than logic and fact. Your letter is general in its condemnation, but is far from specific in telling what wrongs you suffer or in just what respect we are less fortunate than the Negro students at Manhattan. No possible good can come from a letter such as you have written. It breathes hate. Mutual hatred accomplishes nothing. Nick, we are now organizing here at the University an inter-racial committee. It is to be composed of not more than ten of the outstanding white students and ten of ours. We hope to be able to iron out all racial differences that may arise. We will not surrender a single manhood right, but we hope to substitute diplomacy and tact for noise and abuse. This is a constructive movement. I know you, Nick, and know your methods; but before you accuse me of being a traitor as you usually do when one differs with you come down here to Lawrence and talk this matter over with me, then I will arrange for a meeting between you and the Chanceller. Whenever or if ever a condition arises here that cannot be settled by the University officials and the calm, level-headed Negro students, then will be time enough for you to get into this affair; but until that time your bitter, insulting, vitriolic language only serves to widen a breach which we are stiving to narrow now. We are here on the grounds and know the conditions. Yop are in Topaka, but you have not been sufficiently interested in the stories which you have heard to come down and investigate. The very fact that you have made the charge against the head of this school without having made any sort of an investigation, that you have taken the word of some unnamed school in some other city, all this creates the impression that you are not so much interested in the Negro students here in Lawrence but that you desire to be sensational, to have some glaring, black headlines in your paper and to be talked about. If you are sincere, Nick, comes down next week and wa will discuss all our Jills, real and fancied, Yours truly, C. B. JENKINS.

Jerome Baker, Earl Cole, Willard Johnson, Gallet C. Watson, Horace Clendennon, Mason Carrion. The Topeka Plaindealer, Topeka, Kansas. I noticed an article in the last issue of your paper concerning the treatment of colored students at the University of Kansas, and having just recently graduated from that institution, I feel that it is my duty to help enlighten the people of the State as to the existing conditions there. My only regret is that a student from the State Agricultural College was the first to take the responsibility upon himself and fire the first shot at our dear Chancellor upon Mount Oread. I have been in several committees composed of the leading students at the University and citizens of Lawrence who have visited the Chancellor in his office, and from all appearances that gentleman holds no love for our people. He contends that he is not opposed to Negro students at- tending the University, but in the past several years they have been coming in such large numbers, that it is creaking a problem at the University which may get beyond his control. In other words, the increased number of fogro students at the University might cause race riot, or other race disturbances at said institution. Chancellor Lindley has never expressed the fear that the increased number of Chinese and Japanese who cannot even become citizens of this country, nor Hindu and Philippino students, some of whom are blacker than myself, would cause a race disturbance at the University. To the contrary he has been an ardent worker for the Cosmopolitan Club, the purpose of which is to blend them together in on charmoneous body. Chancellor Lindley was the instigator of the idea to have all colored students (voluntarily) to segregate themselves in the University Commons, and because they refused to do as he had wished, his wrath has waxed hot against them. He contends that the University Commons is a place of social gathering; and as the Negro students are not seeking social equality at the University they should not sit at the same tables with the whites. Another one of his pet contentions is that there are many white students from Missouri and Oklahoma attending Kansas, University (which states do not permit Negroes to attend their State universities), and it is only natural for them to oppose the presence of Negroes at Kansas University. He absolutely ignores, the fact, that Kansas University was erected and is being maintained as a Stale institution, and that he is being pal dby the State to conduct an institution, for the education of Kansas Students. It is my opinion that this matter should be brought to the attention of the trustees of the University, and thata Mr. Lindley be given a chance to resign in order that he might move to the universities of some State where the only Negro he will come in contact with will be the janitor, or perhaps it would be more agreeable with him to take the Chancellorship at Valparaiso, Ind., where he can openly teach his doctrines of race hatred and prejudice. Everybody should read these two letters which go to show how vasculating and weak young race men are when they are under the supervision of some white men_who use their position to stigmatize and degrade them at every turn of the road, especially when both are subservient to the taxpayers and neither should attempt to overdo the other but be fair to all. Chancellor Lindley' of the Kansas University ought to give all students the same attention when it comes to their educational duties. The public pays him to do that. All American colored students should have superior rights to Jape, Chinese, Mexicans, Englishmen, or any other foreigners for that matter, but they do not ask for that. All they ask for is a half even break and they will make it, Chancellor Lindley and his coherents notwithstanding. Now, why is this slippant Considine Jenkins defending this Pharisee—a man who has departed from the old rules of that great University, of treating all students alike when in the study halls or on campus. Thirty years ago colored students played on the football teams, were leaders in oratorical contests, young colored men won the honors to represent Kansas University against other colleges in such contests, and won. Where wa stthis young Solomonic would-be Race leader, Conadine Jenkins? He was prabably trailing in the sack of his father's loins when young men of the Race were making history and both the President and faculty in those days were highclass Christian gentlemen of culture and refinement, and the student body was made up of a like matter. Now, Jenkins, you are a young traitor to yourself and Race. I am afraid you are trying to ease by for a certificate of graduation so you can THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN DR. W. F. BOTTS, of Omaha, Neb., will conduct special evangelistic campaign at Calvary Baptist church, 3rd and Quinney Streets, beginning Monday evening, December 3rd, continuing to the 14th. Dr. Botts is a great gospel preacher. Hear ye him. Calvary Baptist church, corner of 3rd and Quinney, was well attended on last Sunday. At the 11 o'clock services the Rev. W. H. Young, minister, preached a powerful sermon, subject "Dependance and Faith." Text, Mark 1:15: "Repent ye and believe the gospel." Collection for the day, $171.38.

The Benevolent Society gave an entertainment at the home of Mrs. E. P. Landis last Thursday night. apply yourself to some profession to fool the people to enable you to eke out an existence by catering to Chancellor Lindley and his colored-hating gang. They will probably let you pass, so you use this method of defending them by getting these gooslin students to sign this visionary statement. This alone shows you are dangerous to the Race. These signers did not know they were signing away their rights. If they are satisfied with the one-sided treatment they are receiving at Lindley's hands and go tell him so, it will only encourage him to draw the color line a little tighter. No, Jenkins, you are making it bad for those who are to follow you in years to come. Why not be like Mr. Harrison W. Holly, who speaks out like an American citizen and tells about the prejudice and who is responsible for it? Yes, I will come down and talk to Chancellor Lindley and would be glad to have you make an engagement with him for me and let the student body hear what is said about his one-sided affair and Race hatred. If the white students from Texas, Georgia and other hell holes of the South do not want to attend Kansas University on account of the presence of colored students let them go back where they came from and Kansas will be better off. Tell them John Brown of Harper's Ferry fought on Kansas soll to keep back such fellows as Lindley and his southern sympathizers, and their Race prejudice out of Kansas. You go to the records of Douglas county and find where one Governor Charles Robinson deeded some of the land where now stands Kansas University, and so worded that no discrimination should be made on account of Race or color. If you have nerve enough, use that in some of your short talks in the student rooms and get Lindley and his southerners told, as I do not think they know. You meditate over it a little yourself. We are trying to help booth races to live in peace and unity. Yes, send for me and show me where I am wrong. NICK CHILES, Editor. THE 24th INFANTRY PRISONERS AT LEAVENWORTH President Calvin Coolidge, White House, Washington, D. C. Dear Mr. President: We wish to call attention to the outrage that is being perpetrated upon the colored soldiers of the 24th Infantry in the Federal Prison at Leavenwort, Kansas, who were there for participating in the Houston riot in 1917. These men were convicted by court martial which was influenced by prejudice of those who were connected socially or otherwise to those who sat on the court. Most of these men did not participate in the riot and evidence will show it; but they were convicted and sent up for life and some of them are innocent men. You are aware of the fact that Southern white people are prejudiced to successful colored people, and this 24th Infantry was sent there to do their duty and the superior officers suffered the white citizens of Houston to insult the colored soldiers to such an extent that they had to resort to some method for their protection. Whenever a colored soldier was seen on the streets with colored women these white citizens would insult them and naturally the soldiers would protect them. This method brought on the riot. After the court martial they hanged nineteen colored soldiers, the President not approving of the findings because they were not sent to him, and the military officers carried out the orders of the court martial by hanging these men. Now we think that after hanging nineteen colored men and sending fifty-six for life and fifteen for 15 and 25 years should at this time be sufficient to satisfy the whims and wishes of those Texas rebels who caused this riot. I think there were five or six white people killed who started the riot and fired into the soldiers. I think you could well afford to pardon these men without the colored colored people getting one hundred thousand names to beg you to do your Christian duty in this matter. We are informed that Secretary of War is surrounded by some of these very same men who sat on the court martial, who are doing everything in their power to keep these men from being released. If men like Debs and thousands of others like him who did everything in their power to prevent people from defending the flag, and said all manner of things against this Government during the World War can be pardoned, why can't these innocent, honest, upright boys, whose brothers and friends sacrificed their lives, millions of dollars and the like to protect this flag in the World War, why can't they get the same treatmen from your hands as those traitors? We hope you will use your influence and cut out all the red tape and have these young men released from the Federal Prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, feeling that you have done no more than your duty under the circumstances and conditions as set forth. The colored people of this country, especially the South, have suffered and are suffering untold indignities and cruel treatment from prejudiced Southern whites. They have no means of having a fair trial and no consideration when the rights of the white people are involved. This you know and I believe you will hasten to right-en the wrongs perpetrated on an innocent Race. Yours truly. TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: We the undersigned feel our duty to give the public some information to offsend some gossip being circulated in Topeka. The following held office in the new organization of 10th St. Baptist Church: Bros. J. P. Perkins, Deacon; L. Malary, Deacon and Trustee; E. D. Mayden, secretary and trustee; Sister J. P. Perkins, treasurer of the building committee, and mother of the church. Names of the building committee, viz. J. P. Perkins, chairman; E. D. Mayden, A. H. McNeal, Sister F. M. Mayden, Sister B. McNeal, Sister T. M. Camel, Sister Kitburgh, Sister Genne Childs, and the Carter family. We, the above named and as many more of the members who would help were sent out by the church and endorsed by the pastor to look out a location to erect a church house and solicit and give entertainments, collect money to purchase and build. We succeeded, and bought three lots from Mrs. Woolfork. They are loca- PRICE FIVE CENTS, $1.50 PER YEAR There is no disbuiling the fact that the people of the old Holland stock mostly agriculturists, still hate the British, who are the shopkeepers and gentlemen of the country. The attitude of the British element, judging from what they told me confidentially and what has happened before, in that as soon as they can accumulate sufficient wealth in South Africa they intend to go back to England to live. Forty per cent of the total population of the Union of South Africa live in the Cape Province, and nearly 23 per cent of the Union population live on the coast of this province. The total white population of the province at the last census was 651,000, and the blacks, East Indians and part-white totaled over 2,000,000. Halfway Station to India When the Dutch, in 1651, decided to establish a halfway depot at the south arm extremity of Africa to supply food and water to their ships on the long voyage between Europe and India, they located this station at Table Bay on the Cape Peninsula, not only on account of the harbor but also because the site of Cape Town was a good place for a cabbage patch. Twenty years later they formally purchased from the Hottentot natives the whole of the peninsula for $48.00 in goods. At Wynberg, eight miles southeast of Cape Town, they planted vineyards and were soon producing wine. Near Wynberg today is a large provincial government wine farm, Groot Constantia, containing some 140,000 vines. The district is also celebrated for its peaches and plums as well as grapes. Wheat, oats, and barley were sown at Rondebosch, five miles from Cape Town, and did well, resulting in the laying out of farms in this section. WHOLE SOUTH AFRICAN PENINSULA BOUGHT FOR $48.00 How the Dutch Happened to Establish Half-way Trading Point in 1651—Site of Capt Town Chosen Not Only Because of Its Harbor but Because It Was Good Place for Cabbage Pastch. By W. D. Boyce Drawing a line on the map of South Africa, from the Atlantic Ocean west of Cape Town to the northeast boundary of the Cape Province, you will find it is nearly 700 miles. This coastal belt is the only well-watered part of the Cape Province, through rainfall or short rivers, and contains 75 per cent of the population and raises 90 per cent of the agricultural products of the province in an area of about 30,000 square miles. There are 277,000 square miles in the Cape Province—a larger area than the State of Texas—and only about 10 per cent of the province is reasonably good country, where fruits, vegetables and cereals can be grown in paying quantities. The 30,000 square miles instead of supporting a population of 500,000 whites, as it does, could easily support 2,000,000. Except for the jealousy between Boer and Briton and the inefficiency of the native Negro labor, it would soon be a garden spot. HOGAN-BROOKS NUPTIALS Miss Etta Mae Hogan, daughter of Mrs. A. G. Hogan, 1933 Harrison, was quietly married to Mr. Chas Brooks, Horton, Kansas, Saturday evening, November 17th, at her home. Just the immediate family and a few intimate friends being present. Rev. J.

JAMES PERKINS, Chairman. ST. JOHN BAPTIST CHURCH SALINA, KANS. Rev. S. A. Williams, Pastor "For I have opened my mouth unto the Lord, and I cannot go back," were the words of the text selected by Pastor Williams for Sunday morning, discourse theme, "Strong Determination." It required strong determination on the part of Jephthah to keep his promise to God, when it took from him his beloved daughter, and so it is with the Christian today. It takes strong determination on our part to stand against the inducements and the things that allure in this sinful world. Our salvation depends largely upon our determination. Sunday school was well attended and much interest manifested in the lesson, "Christians called to be Missionaries." At 3 P. M., Pastor Williams baptized five converts in the Smokey Hill river, there was a large number out to witness this sacred rite. A large and appreciative audience listened to a very impressive sermon by our pastor Sunday evening. He chose for a text Rom. 6:23, subject, "The wages of sin is death." He emphasized three kinds of death caused by sin; first, death to the body; second, spiritual death; third, soul death. It was indeed a strong sermon full of admonition for all. A junior chorus consisting of our twenty voices was organized Sunday in our church. The pastor is anxious to put the young converts to work. Miss Geraldine Bryant was elected chorister. Thanksgiving, will be observed with union services at 1 a. m., at the St. John Baptist church. Rev. Rooka, pastor of the A. M. E. church will deliver the sermon. Pastor Williams left Tuesday morning for Hutchinson, Kansas where he will conduct a revival assister by Rev. J. E. Zeits, the national singer. Avery interesting meeting was held at the church Thursday afternoon, discussing the necessity of cooperation in the development of the Christian life of our children. Pastor Williams as master of ceremonies stated in his address thata tha ecooperation of the home, school and church were the only means by which the Christian side could be developed. We listened to strong logical addresses by the following: Rev. Rooks, Dr. H. H. Wilson, Prof. P. G. Porter, Rev. Franklin, Mrs. O. E. Jackson, Mrs. Ed. Finch. WESTERN COLLEGE Thursday evening the Western College Glee Club rendered a very pleasing program at the Pleasant Green Baptist church. Rev.

Mr. Ferguson was an industrious man. He erected the two story brick at 15th and Quincy, where he carried on a fine business. He certainly did his part in building up the race. He leaves two sons and a grandson and a host of friends to mourn their loss. The remains were interred in the family plot at Topeka Cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Maloney of 107 Rice St., Pueblo, Colo., celebrated their twenty-fifth wedding anniversary on Friday evening November 30th, at their beautiful home. Mrs. Maloney was a Topeka young lady formerly Miss Bryant. She was very popular when a young girl and was very beautiful and industrious, high-class Christian young lady. Her father, one of Topeka's pioneer truck growers made good. Her brother, Herbert, is still trucking at the old homestead five miles east of where Miss Maloney grew up. They have the best wishes of their many friends and hope they will enjoy their golden wedding equally as well. Mr. Maloney is an employee of the Great Smelting Works of Pueblo, where he has handled the mails and other important and responsible details for years. They are upright Christian people also do much for charity, lodges and church work in the community and state. We enjoyed an old-fashion Thanksgiving dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. T. W.

Mrs. Green is a No. one cook and housekeeper. Rev. T. W. Green who is past 70 years, is active as a man of forty. He is now building two houses in Pierce Addition, a growing community. They own a six-room house, barn, horses, hogs, and chickens, and grow fine garden each year. He is one of the real prosperous citizens on that side of Topeka. No strain to live and not miss it, because he is industrious and believes in having something. He is far above the average colored man who lives on the suburbs an dwho have the same opportunity to raise hogs, chickens and good gardens. He does the chores around the house an drespects his wife by not having her to do the inside and outside work around the house and then go out and make a whole day working for some one else like most Topeka men do, and never make a showing to their wives as to what they are doing with their money, not buying homes nor paying the bills. We certainly enjoyed being at this well provided home. Miss. Green is a fine Christian lady and has many friends. The many friends of Mr. Samuel Shucks will be glad to know he is at home from Minneapolis, Minn., where he was visiting his children and took sick, is much better at this time. W. W. Overton is always doing great things. He and his good wife have built a store room at 1109 Washington street. They have opened up a grocery store and notion store.

Williams, Pastor Sunday, a beautiful spring like day marked the closing services of our great revival, that has been going on for the past two weeks, conducted by Rev. C. P. Morrow, Ottowa, and Dr. J. E. Jeltz, a gospel singer. Rev. Morrow was called home Friday to attend a funeral so could not be with us in the closing services, but at 11 a.m. Sunday morning the house was filled to its capacity when Pastor Williams delivered the baptismal sermon. He brought to us a message that will be long remembered. This straightforward doctrinal sermon was delivered under the heading of "Ten things that baptism by immersion require, and represent." He gave scripture references for each. By using various demonstrations the truths were brought to us more forcibly. His closing thought was Christ's baptism in itself should be sufficient grounds for our baptism by immersion. At the close of this service eight united with the church, one conversion. At 3 p. m., upwards of two thousand people of both races thronged the banks of the Smoky Hill river to witness the baptizing by the pastor. This was a very impressive service, singing conducted by Dr. on Jeltz. There were thirty-three put on Christ by baptism. There will be baptizing again next Sunday as five of the converts could not be ready Sunday. Immediately after baptizing was assembled in the church where we listened to a very interesting sermon by Rev. Lanigan. At 8 p. m. there was not standing room in the audience. Dr. Jeltz, the national singer, who assisted with the meeting delivered the closing sermon of the revival. A very timely discourse, discussing "The conversion of Saul," after which he sang "Go down Moses," by request, which was indeed a treat. The hand of fellowship was extended to those who united with the church, after which the Lord's supper was administered. There was a total of 57 accessions to the church during the meeting, and $448.33 was the total collection. Rev. Brooks pastor of the A. M. E. church of this city, delivered a strong gospel sermon Friday night, using as a text "What profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?" We appreciate very highly the cooperation on the part of the local pastor, ministers and teachers in this revival effort. We know that where there is unity there is strength, and feel that Go dhan wonderfully blessed our united efforts and prayers. Dr. Jeltz and Pastor Williams will go to Hutchinson to conduct a revival meeting beginning Monday, November 26th—Church Reporter. 4300 St. Ferdinand Avenue, ST. LOUIS, MO., U. S. A. DEPT.

JACKSON Last week we carried an advertisement for Crosby Brothers, one of the largest Dry Goods stores in the West, calling the attention of their salesman, Prof. George W. Jackson, who is one of the best furniture salesmen in when wanting furniture, to fit up the West. Both white and colored home, always seek him on any special piece they ask his judgment. Our group should not be unmindful of such opportunities and when wanting goods in his line wend their way to Crosby Brothers and call for Prof Geo. W Jackson as there are few places in the United States where our race is given opportunity to display theirrability along high commercial lines as the prejudice of the otherrace is unknowingly strong.

The obituary expressed his life ‘and is as follows: In the weakness of humanity, but with becoming reverence we are prone to inquire why the earthly ca- reer of such a life should have cloned fo soon; why the light so early ex- tinguished. But on auch an occasion as this It is not for ua to philosophy; it fs not for us t ojudge. The mystery cannot be rolvedt.

One of hia conxpi- cuour charactetinticn was his devotion to hin cuties. He never spared him- -elf, He was an inspiration to others, He had a yenial temper and wax a plearaut companion anil associate.
