THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER "BIRTH OF A NATION" HAS NO STANDING IN STATE OF KANSAS Suggestion of Picture Tends to Increase Immorality and Hatred Governor Davis Flatly Refused to Allow the Picture in Kansas When He First Took Office, Following in the Footsteps of His Predecessors, Governors Capper and Allen, who Said the Picture Was Harmful. Governor Davis is a high-class Christian gentleman and is making Kausa a good governor, and for him to weaken on his former stand taken against the Birth of a Nation we cannot unde stand. He refused the request without anyone being harmed. When a delegation of colored people called upon him a short time after his insultation to protest against the picture he showed them a letter where he had denied the owners' request, showing that he was all right and in line with former governors of Kansas on the question. We think probably his long spell of sickness has weakened him physically and he can't combat with his political advisers as before his spell of sickness. These parasites will worry the devils, less more the angels. We talked with the Governor and he really believes all the objectionable features are taken out of the picture and sees no harm. He is honest in his belief, but we hope he will recid this order, as there are no petitions asking for the picture, but thousands on the other hand are asking that it not be allowed to appear in Kansas. There are several cities and towns who will not allow it to appear. The Governor of Kansas has not looked on the moral side of the picture where an object is painted to represent a colored man which looks helpless and savage, all couched in a lonely spot, and a little white girl perched on big rock, innocently pleading whilst this supposed colored man is trying to kidnap and outrage her. Why should this apply to the colored race any more so than to any other race? This alone creates prejudice against the colored race and gives an impression to the younger generation that the colored race is not above the lower order of animals. American History shows that most of the worst, wicked and heinous crimes ever committed were by white men and foreigners. Such scenes as that is immoral and suggestive. The colored slave was loyal to the slave-holders, and no families were disturbed during the rebellion and at the time when colored men could have wreaked their revenge upon the southern white slave-holders for their cruel treatment. They were making concuibes of their slave women, raising a colored family and a white family on the same plantation and selling their children to get them out of the sight of infiltrated white wives. Why didn't the painter of that picture include that part of the slave life? No, he did not want to show up the devilment and wickedness of the southern white man, which could reflect on the coming generation. The scene of the Colored Lieutenant Governor, a mulatto, and the offspring of a colored slave woman, and he a slave owner, casts no reflection on the colored people as trying to force themselves on the white people, as the Lieutenant Governor was as much a white man as he was a colored man. Therefore he should be at home with either race. As a whole, the picture reflects on both races. At this time both races are trying to forgive and forget the cruel and agonizing slavery days. This picture is a reminder of those wicked days when the colored race was helpless and at the mercies of their slave masters. If it had not been for the so-called Northern Carpetbaggers, the colored and white raggers would have been ten times worse off. These Northerners brought civilization, education and enlightenment with them. They opened up the schools and sent white northern teachers down south to help the colored ex-slaves while the slave-holders did all they could and are still doing to keep the colored people out of their education. The so-called carpet bagger was a God-send to the South. After the war the South had nothing to plunder. The white man was broke and flattened out. He could not work. He was helpless. Had it not been for the loyal ex-slave and the so-called carpet-bagger, the southern whites would have starved. The war had taken the run out of them. They were all discouraged and did not know where to start to regain their footing. So let us paint the picture of the bright side of life and forget the past. So, my dear Governor, help us. You are an Kansas, and must stand up for Kansas. You do not believe in such stuff. You were rocked in John Brown's cradle and grew and waxed out from the milk of human kindness. The people believe in you, so stop the devil and his angels from disturbing John Brown's spirit. NICK CHILES, Editor Topeka Plaindealer, and Pres. Kansas Defense Society. TO GOV. DAVIS Hon. Jonathan Davis, Governor of State of Kansas. Your Honor: As president of the State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, I earnestly beseech you to stop the showing of the picture, "Birth of Nation," from appearing in the State of Kansas. We felt that when you were elected Governor of this proud old State, you would protect the rights of all its citizenry. This play will incite Racial hatred that has long been smouldering in the hearts, and we can not afford an outburst at this time. DO YOUR DUTY! We still believe in you, do not fail us in a crisis of this sort. We do not want to lose faith, but we are sorely tried. May God bless you and keep you to the highest ideals and principals of this great Republic. Sincerely yours, MRS. CHARLES L. CHILDLS. President of the Kansas State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. The above is a letter sent to the Governor by our State President, Mrs. Charles M. Childs, in protest to the showing of the Birth of a Nation at the Theatres in the State. She is asking that all clubs in the State send protests to the Governor asking that this picture be prohibited from showing in the theatres. We are asking the co-operation of every Federated Club in the State in this great protest to stop this great insult to our race.

C. Christian, Thursday afternoon, December 6th. MY HEART IS IDITING A GOOD MATTER The C. M. E. annual conference has come and gone. I don't know anything out of the ordinary to mention about the proceedings. The same old song, the same old faces, the same old stuff with a drunken zealousness to further denominational greed and give birth to more jobs for an army of loafing ministers. It is indeed phenomenal to see what a hold creeds have on the race. Most of those who attended the sittings came away with that childish boastfulness, without a thought of the harm such meetings do the race. I mean so far as continuing a division within the race. It is a rather painful sight to see how some of our leading whites, bootlick over these foreign potentates, all a foreigner needs to do is to have a strange accent and a stiff presentment and they will crawl on their deceitful bellies to do them honor. Just any old syphilitic lord can come over here and demand the best respect from some of the most financial bosses. It is just this kind of wickedness that propogates draft dodgers throughout the nation. Now, as to Mr. Walton, we should not become stamped over his loss, yet many of us had prayed his success. Keep in mind it is strictly a Democratic fight and it will be this party that must pay the penalty, if such is to be paid. Army of Negroes are now awarming into Arizona and other western States. This is the proper thing to do. We are convinced there is not hope where we are denied the ballot. It was the damnable doctrine of letting your bucket down where you are that has kept the Negroes in the peonage South. This viscous propaganda was re-enforced by a pimpish pulpit. But the Negro has awakened and will not be reconciled by windy prayers or foolish prophecy. We are just for Mr. Ford, that's all to it. We feel that he is fully competent to do the job. The Negro should be the last to argue efficiency, for there is no degree of intellectual worth that would give a black man a look-in. After all, it is not so much the head, but the heart, for all races. Ford has the sympathy for the under dog, we are the dog. Let us break from the two old parties that have promised every thing and given nothing. Nominate Mr. Ford and move that the nomination be closed. We did not know until quite recently that the nullification of the 14th and 15th Amendments were taken as a matter of course, until the prohibition question became so hot. We really thought we were somebody until we found out that the entire country had met over night and agreed that "It was perfectly all right to disfran the Negroes throughout the Southland." The whole damnable conspiracy was formed during the Hays and Gal 10 the Tilden squabble. After a half a century we just found out that we were trader for Hays' presidency. It is not yet found out, from whom Dr. Evans got his credentials as a guardian of public morals or authority to segregate races and say who are fit citizens. We have always thought the constitution of the U. S. had a say in this matter. But from the speech at Dallas, it seems that the Imperial Wizzard has usurped all governmental authority. The constitutional for me. I shall not give credence to any other. It is to be regretted that the N. E. E. T. Association saw fit to meet at Eufaula just after one of the blackest lynchings the country ever saw. There is nothing to be had by having these educational meetings in mob centers. It is for this same reason I have ever opposed the General Conferences of the various Methodist bodies meeting in the Southland. No doubt it is fitting and becoming for the C. M. E. Church, but the other bodies who don't get their sustenance from this section can ill afford to have their best men and women insulted by meeting in southern cities. ST. JOHN A. M. E. CHURCH Sunday, December 2nd, was a gala day at St. John.' It being the first quarterly meeting for the conference year. Rev. H. W. King, presiding elder, preached a soul-stirring sermon HOLIDAY DOINGS A Xmas Eve Party will be given at Metropolitan Hall Monday evening, December 24th. Also a New Year's Eve party. By the same management that entertained the Teachers in October. Music by Dukes' Orchestra. at eleven o'clock to a large congregation. The collection for the day amounted to $205.75, considered the largest for any quarterly conference in the history of the church. Junior Stewartess boards No.1 and 2 held a pie and doughnut sale at the home of the president, Mrs. Irene Evans, November 28th, and met with wonderful success. The sewing circle met Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. Matt Wilson, all members are urged to be present. Rev. B. R. Ross one of the presiding elders of the missionary conference, worshipped with us last Sunday. GREAT BEND The L. and A. C. Club met with Mrs. Vernon Booker after the routine of business a paper was read by Mrs. Jacob Brown and the ladies gave their favorite Thank-giving dish, a very delicious luncheon was served which was fried chicken, hot rolls, salad, coffee and pie with whipped cream. Mrs. Jacob Brown had a birthday dinner Sunday and had as her week end guest Mrs. Bettle Williams and daughter, Vera. Mrs. Miller of St. Paul is visiting relatives here. Mrs. Isham had as her dinner guest Sunday Rev. and Mrs. Watson, Rev. Washington, Rev. and Mrs. Anderson Mr. and Mrs. McDonald. The ladies of the A. M. E. church served dinner in Wells Cafe all day Thanksgiving. Miss Priscilla Martin and Fox and others drove to Dodge City to spend Thanksgiving with their sister, Mrs. Grace Gower. GOOD THINGS WE LIKE If one is fortunate enough to have a few mushrooms and sweetbreads by combining the two a most tasty dish will result. Suate the sweet breads in a little butter until well cooked—five minutes will suffice. Melt two tablespoonfuls of butter, add three tablespoonfuls of flour, and pour on gradually one cupful of chicken stock. Clean, parboil and cut into dice the sweetbreads. Reheat the sauce, add the sweetbreads and mushrooms and season well; add one-fourth of whipped cream one-half teaspoonful of beef extract. Add a dash of lemon juice and serve in tambale cases or covered with buttered crumbs in ramekins. If the latter, brown in the oven and serve hot from the dishes. Date Fluff-Duff—Stew a cupful of stoned dates until tender. Put thru a colander and mix with a cupful of sugar that has been sifted with a teaspoonful of cream of tartar. Beat the whites of five eggs until stiff, adding a pinch of salt, and when perfectly stiff add the yolks of two eggs and whip again. Mix lightly a little at a time with the dates and sugar, and place in a buttered baking dish Sprinkle the top with finely chopped nuts and bake fifteen minutes. Serve with whipped cream. Salad Rolls—Scald one and one-half cupfuls of milk, add one-fourth of a cupful of sugar, one-half cupful of butter, one-half teaspoonful of salt; when lukewarm add one-half yeast cake; when this is dissolved add four cupfuls of flour. Mix thoroughly and add the whites of two eggs beaten stiff. Cover and let rise, turn into buttered gem pans made in small biscuit, three in each; have the pans half full. Let rise and bake in a hot oven. These are called cloverleaf rolls. The ripe rich tints of the cornfield, And the wild geese sailing high; And all over lowland and upland The blaze of sheh goldenrod; Some of us call it Nature. Columbia Prosperity Black Clouds and Black Sunshine Mr. Jenkins, you speak of Mr. Chiles going off half cocked, but we fear that you and your weak followers have done the same thing. It is a fact that prejudice exists at K. U. When it comes to the use of facts we demand that you learn their use. First, in your own letter you state that an inter-racial committee is being organized to iron out the difficulties. Evidently there must be racial prejudice. Second, we have visited K. U., and have been personally informed of the prejudice by Negro students there. Third, Why shouldn't there be prejudice at K. U.? Kansas and the U. S. is simply running over with it. Should K. U. be excluded? Fourth, you accuse Mr. Chiles of being half cocked, along with other disrespectful remarks, but we notice that since his public letter you have organized your committee. Is your committee half cocked? It is too bad that some of your college students lack the broad vision to appreciate the effort of Mr. Chiles to help them. There are too many Negro students in white colleges afraid of a diploma. Let us have manhood first. It is the attitude of Negro students in white colleges to try to ease through and over the least resistance to real issues of prejudice. That is why we have so many useless book-learned, weak professors instead of real men and women. Yet these same individuals who signed this letter will in a few years try to be leaders. It is true that we go to the white colleges because of their opportunities but for God's sake let us take these opportunities and learn to reason. The white man is shrewd. He teaches the Negro to reason but he gives him a philosophy that says "White man first, everything else is emotional." I, too, have attended college, but I thank God for good home training, LEAVENWORTH UNIQUE SEASON PARTY The most unusual Puritan festivity was a pumpkin seed party given during the celebration of Thanksgiving by Miss Louise Bruce, 717 Walnut St., Leavenworth, social leader of the younger set. A number of games were played with pumpkin seed, among which were progressive pumpkin seed, pinning the stems on the pumpkin and a pumpkin seed hunt. The table was effectively decorated with fall fruits and flowers. Prizes were won by Messrs Bright, Harden, McClannahan, Mrs. McClannahan, Mrs. Rivers, Misses Chiles and Broadies. An O'Possom Dinner Miss Thelma Chiles entertained Miss Louise Bruce, Mrs. Laura Hamilton, Mr. Earl Lawson, and Mr. William Hamilton at the home of the Hamilton, 206 Miami, to an original season dinner. Miss Chiles, a Topea girl, is wintering with the Hamilton in Leavenworth. Mrs. Hamilton is one of the few Negro women to have been a postmistress. Miss Bruce and Miss Chiles both matriculated from the University of Michigan. Mr. Lawson is Principal of Lincoln school, and Mr. Hamilton is a retired sergeant and a guard at the U. S. penitentiary. The dinner was a clever change from the usual season affairs. Recently Miss Chiles, of Topeka, entertained the Progressive Whist Club. The first ladies' prize was won by Miss Louise Bruce; the first prize for men Mr. Henry Haworth; the booby, Mr. Wendell McClanahan. A Delightful Dinner Mrs. A. H. Walton gave a delightful after-Thanksgiving dinner for Mrs. Hamilton and her guest, Miss Thelma Chiles, of Topeka. Mrs. Walton had as her guests Miss Hortense Harrison, a prominent Leavenworth teacher, Miss Alberta Walton, and Miss Edgarine Walton, a popular Kansas City teacher, Mrs. Hamilton, and Miss Chiles. Misses Geraldine Jones, Broadus and Hortense Harrison attended the Paramount Charity Dance in Kansas City on Thanksgiving. Miss Geraldine McClanahan who has been attending K. U., spent Thanksgiving with her parents. which taught me that the last word has not been written on anything, and that I have a mind to reason for myself. Negro students must learn that the white man's knowledge is necessary, but he must reason for himself. I personally know two of the students who signed this letter and they have been reared to reverence the superiority of the white man. We advise a little investigation by the editor, of the signers. We don't believe they represent the 'real' thought of the K. U. color question. MR. HOLLIE, WE THANK YOU When it comes to facts on the K. U. question we readily see that Mr. Harrison Hollis gives us more information on the subject than Mr. Jenkins. Mr. Jenkins gave us a hot-headed, saisy letter without any facts, accusing Mr. Chiles of things he himself was guilty of. Remember Mr. Chiles merely opened the question, was there prejudice at K. U.? He did not accuse the Chancellor, but the highly educated man of facts, namely one C. B. Jenkins, along with a lot of weak little Negroes whose parents are working in kitchens as porters and in ditches, to make men and women of them, commits the same offense they accuse Mr. Chiles of, namely, "black headlines without facts." Let us notice the difference in the two letters: Mr. Hollie writes an orderly one composed of facts. Mr. Jenkins' letter is just the opposite. We advise Mr. Jenkins to learn to not accuse a man of what he himself is guilty of. We thought an educated conservative would know better. Did You Notice? Did the readers of the Plaindealer notice the few who signed the letter by Mr. Jenkins? There are about 70 students at K. U., yet only 16 signed this letter. We don't believe this letter represents the views of the majority or even the best students intellectually at K. U. Mrs. Bessie Jones entertained the Wednesday night Club last week. Prof. B. K. Bruce, accompanied by Mrs. Bruce, his daughter, Miss Louise, and Prof. Earl Lawson, attended the K. U.-Mo. football game. Prof. Bruce is an honor graduate of K. U. He is especially interested in the education of our youth, having devoted years of service to this cause. Prof. Bruce is a maker of Admirals and Generals" and is the leading mentor for army aspirants. He has educated numerous boys for West Point and also helped to promote many army men. Sergeant and Mrs. Contee motored to Fort Riley to spend Thanksgiving. Mr. Pearl Jackson, wife and two children of Kansas City, Kans., spent Thanksgiving with Mrs. B. F. Sharp. Mrs. Elizabeth Turner entertained on Friday after Thanksgiving. Mr. and Mrs. William Hamilton had as their dinner guests Thanksgiving day Sergeant and Mrs. Keer and family, Mr. and Mrs. Harden, and Mrs. Eliza Webb Beautiful in every effect was the party October 26, Mrs. Otto Guomella honored her niece, Mrs. Floyd Williams, with a miscellaneous shower. The house was beautifully decorated in cut flowers and ferns, the color scheme being pink and white. Mrs. L. Spencer rendered a program of music assisted by Mrs. Ruth Love, who rendered several beautiful vocal selections. About 50 guests enjoyed the hour from 2 to 5. Mrs. Glacomella was assisted by Miss L. Bruce, Miss Thelma Chilles, of Topeka, Thelma Holm, Vivion Taylor, Theopal Garrett, Mrs. Bessie Norman, Mrs. Jessie Cook A. B. Fields, Josella Jones, May M. Green, Olive Watkins Clara Garrett. Mrs. Williams was the recipient of many beautiful presents. CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our appreciation to the neighbors and friends for their assistance in the time of sickness and death of our beloved daughter, Felicia, also for the beautiful floral offerings and the sweet letters of condolence in this our sad hour of bereavement.

TACTS WORTH KNOWING Ve ee Se a The ideal thing for every man and ‘momen in the world would be a daily task in which the fullest satisfaction and pleasure coull be had vecause it was a task that had abundant Inter est und variety and worth-whileness in it, But as a matter of hard fact that fs not the kind of daily labor that many of us have to perform. Some good day in the world's history may come when work for a great ma- ny people will Jove much of its drudg- ery and monotony, and when men ant women will find it much eusier to get at the work for which they have qual- ification and fitness, But it is not hke- ly that the time ever will come when work will lose all ita drudgery and monotony, or when most of us will not find it tiring und hard, at leate in spots. For many of us the time may never come when our work will be satisfactory and enjoyable because it fs eusy and congenial at every point. But in most cases is it not possible to put something into work even that {s thring, and has much drudgery and monotony in it, that will give to it a very real pleasure and satisfactkyn? No matter what a man’s work {« there will always be some good reason for his doing it well, and well-done work, no matter of what kind, always brings {ts own peculiar enjoyment and satis- faction. In fact an ambition to ‘ one’s work well wall usually redeem It from most of its drudgery und mo- notony.—Christian Guardion. GRAVE (KN.
