Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT MAKING HIS MARK Below we produce the likeness of very prominent young man of our the subject of this sketch, Mr. Robert Thomas Glover, is a fair ex- ample of what the future of the in- A PROMINENT YOUNG MAN 1890 Past Chancellor Commander Present Master of Works Taas Lodge No. 10, K. of P. Bookkeeper For The Nation Bank of Commerce elegant, thrifty, honest and industrious colored boy can do; and what opportunities are open to them if they will prove themselves competent and worthy. Albert Thomas merger was born in Wichita, Sedgwick County, Kansas; Dec. 7th 1877. He attended the public schools of the city; completing his course in the Grammar schools at the head of the class. He began attending the City High School, he attended the High School two years. He entered the Wichita Business College and completed a business course of study here. He is now employed at the National Bank of Commerce as Bookeeper. He joined Toas lokg, No. 10 Oct. 1898. His capabilities soon won for him distinction there, and he served two terms as K. of R. & S, and in June 1900, was elected as C. C. of that judge, which position he held two terms, till June 1901, when he was elected as Master of Works the high honors which that lodge can confer. He is a devoted christian and a member of the A. M. E. church. During his term as C. C. he raised the judge membership from 33 to 43 and turned a good treasury over to his successor. For some time the cry in our city was, "We ought to have a colored Band." New Wichita has a colored band and a good one at that. This band is composed of some of the best young men in our city and they render good music; yet on one few occasions has this band been employed by the Colored people unless they would play free gratis. This is not right. The boys two compose this band went to great expense to get horns music, nacks, and etc., and our people should patronize them, and should be ashamed to even suggest that they play free at any time. A good colored band, such as we have here, is needed in Wichita and every colored man should do all he can to help support it. With only a little encouragement from the colored people, our band here will stand at the top of the ladder. Prof. Fisher and his boys are doing good work and should be encouraged in their effort. Annual Thanksgiving. The Masons held their annual Thanksgiving sarmon at the A. M. E. church last Sunday at 3 p. m. The sermon was a geand oned was preached by Rev. A. C. Terrell pastor of that church. Dr. Terrell expounds the principles and truths of Masonry in all its glory, and in an intelligent and masterly manner. At some remote time in future the sermon delivered by Dr. Terrill may be equalled but never will it be excelled. The services were undar the direct controle of Arkansas Valley lodge No. 21, A. F & A. M., assisted by the sisters of Princess Chapter No. 12, Order of Eastern Star, and the sisters of Mt. Olive Court No. 9, Heroines of Jericho. Arkansas Valley lodge, Princess Chapter and Mt. Olive Court, all turned out their full membership. It was indeed grand to behold the full Masonic family in their regalia and wearing the badges of Masonry, all seated and listening to the Masonic truths that were so ably put forth On the rostrum was Worshipful Master Jno. T. Chinneth, representing Arkansas Valley lodge, No. 21; to right was Matron, Mrs. M. E. Banks, representing Princess Chapter, No. 12, while seated to his left was Most Ancient Matron, Mrs. Jno. E.

It is a strange thing, yet true, to know that some colored people of families, snurl at and refuse to patronize one of their own race in aprofessional or business line and at the same time they have children, boys and girls, going to school to make professional business men and women out of them, and they look forward with thoughts of joy, when their boy or their girl shall have finished school and settled down, to receive the patronage of their race. What would be their surprise to find that the race scorn their boy or their girl as they attempt to scorn the Negro professional and business men of today. They would look with eyes of wonder and hearts sad to see this; yet this will be and is the result of their own teaching. Be sure that you are right and then go ahead. Are such people right? Are they not ing off their nose to spite their face? But possibly they do not expect their boy or girl to look to the race for support. If perchance they should have such ideas, we beg to disabuse their minds if this error. Negro professional and business men must first be lifted by their own people before they can have the very least hope of even expecting aid from others. Then what is to become of your boy or your girl when he or she shall have entered the business world? We panse for reply. DID YOU KNOW That Mrs. Ara Dunn, 715 E. Douglas serques the best meals in the city.? She does. That "Ezeikeil" is no part of the Bible? He's not. That Bert Glover has lost his whiskers? He has. That Al Buford will sson pass the cskh? Well, he will. That the Searchlight gives all the news? It does though. That Geo. Brown got scared of that K. P. goat? He did sure. That John Simmons is a "warm number?" He is just the same. That Ben H. Downing makes a good sanitary officer? He does. That Wichita colored people can't and won't be beat? That's us. That its "kinder warm"? It is. That S. W. Lea sells all kind of fresh vegetables? He does. That THE SEARCHLIGHT does all kInds of JOB. WORK CHEAP? They do, and promt too. Grand Chancellor Jno. E. Lewis, of the Sunflower Grand Lodge, K. of P., left to-day, Saturday to make his annual visit to the various subordinate lodges of Kansas. He will complete his visits on July 22nd. The lodges of Kansas are in a most flourishing condition, Race Gleanings. FUTURE GROWS BRIGHTER. One of the most serious conditions which eve confronted the the Negro mechanic has been his inability to secure work sufficient to justify him in working at his trade. The white people of the North who controle large corporations, as well as those of the South similarly situated, have adopted a policy of employing Negro labor only when compelled to do so. With the feezing out process of the big corporations and the closely drawn lines of the labor uninions and trade councils, the question of finding employment at which a living can be earned, that absolute necessity of securing meat and bread has been a puzzling one to many Negro mecanics. But the signs of the times begin to point to a brighter day. This policy which was founded solely on race prejudice is beginning to give away to a more liberal and humane one. Last Fall the Chicago Federation threw down the bar to the admission of Negro workmen and in that city they enjoy the same rights as white men. In Richmond the local Plastertr's Union is composed largily of colored men and we have been informed that no color is known in the session of the union, white and black meeting on the same level as mechanics. At the recent annual session of the Trade Council and Labor Union a colored election was admitted, several colored men have been admitted to to the local carpenter's union here. These we report are healthful signs and bade much good to Negro mechanics. It is the right thing to do and will promote the interest of all concerned. The proscription of Negro labor has never had justification in equity of common sence. Barring Negroes from organizations that promote the general interests of labor, naturally puts the Negro in opposition to all trade unions. It has taken from him the incentive to learn a trade and to identify his interests with those of the white working men. Te us it has always seemed a contradiction and an inconsistency, that labor unions whose duty it is to inlist all workmen should exclude colored labor. It certainly weakened their influencebesides being an ugly reminder of an unjust and cruel race prejudice, unworthy of human men enrolled in and advocating the breth- erehood of labor. We feel that a brighter day is abont to dawn for the Negro working men, that the various avenues of employment are about to be opened to him, a chancein the race of life for bread God speed the day is our earnest prayer. Afro-Americanisms. The Negro race has reduced its illiteracy to 45 per cent. The prosperity of the Negro race per capita is estimated at about $75 There were about sixtern colored pupils enrolled at Harvard this year. General Maximo Gomez may be the first president of the Cuban Republic There are 1,500 Negro doctors, 2,000 colored lawyers and 32,000 teachers in this country. The cotton product, mainly by Negro labor has increased from 4,669,770 bales to 11,235,000 in 1869. The Negro must have a mechanical head as well as a mechanical hand if he would succeed in life. The Negro owns one cotton mill at Concord N. C., and is employed solely in one silk mill at Feyetteville, N. C. The hard handed sons of toil who are the bone and sinew of a people, the men who are educated in the plain every day affairs of life should not be disfranchised because they have not had the advantages of an education. They are worthy citizens and are entitled to a voice in this country's government. Our young men must learn to deport themselves as gentlemen on all occasions. They must remember that they are the criterions by which the race is,ng measured. God helps those who help themselves. If the Negro would be progressive he must not wait for something to turn up; on the contrary, he must turn up something high-self. Let us bury the traditions and prejudices of the past and consider every man as a brother with the inherent right to fairness in all things. The colored people of eleven Southern states produce six hundred million dollars worth of the wealth per year of those eleven states and the white people of those eleven states get more than five hundred million dollars worth of the wealth thus produced. The white brother pays the tax, and the colored brother produces the wealth with which the white brother pays the tax. The Auditor of the Treasury for NO. 5 the Navv Department is ready to distribute $181,830 of prize money to the sailors who were with Dewey at Manilla. The only solution to the so-called gro problem is the solution proposed by the blessed Bible which is for the white and black people to recognize their personal responsibilities and all keep the Golden Rule. Idleness is productive of crime, and when a public policy enforces idleness, those responsible for the policy are responsible for the crimes which are its results.

On July 16, 17 and 18, the District Grand Lodge of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows will be held in this city. The many delegates thal will be in our city at that time come primarily as the guests of Home of the West lodge, No. 21, but secondly they will be the guest of every colored person in Wichita. Since it is an undeniable fact that they will be the guests of every colored person in our city' the colored people aside from the rkers of that Grand Order, should make some arrangements to entertain the delegates at some time dtring the session, on behalf of the colored citizens. To make this indeed a pleasant gathering for the visitors will mean much to the good name of the industrious and thifty colored people of our city. Every colored man regardless of his religious belief, of his secret society affiliations or social caste should put his shoulder to the wheel to make the visitors stay here a most pltasant one. Iu the ranks of the delegates who will be here at that time, you will find members of the Masonic, Knights of Pythias, and other orders, also, members of the Baptist, Methodists and other churches, and above all, you will find all gentlemen of the highest type. This is our suggestion; to have a "Citizen's Day," and make it a day of days to be long remembered by the delegates; but we can not do this alone, you must join in with us. We would like to see all our prominent ministers take hold of this movement and help it along. In another column you will find a call for a meeting this purpose; let all come who are of a progressive, industrious and willing mind, and let us do something as colored citizens of Wichita.

The wisest Negro is the Negro who sinks a part of every dollar that he gets his hands on. If he has been spending ten dollars for clothes, patch and renew the old ones end save three out of that ten. If he has spent $20 for food, see if he can make it $18. Get cheaper clothes and food ana save something, if it is necessary to live half hungry. No one knows what tomorrow will bring for us. Our condition may be so intolerable that we may have to leave the South. It is evipent that as a race we are hated and despised and that the best brains and brawn in the South is pledged to repression. In such a case does not common sense dictate that we need money?—Mobile Press. The same advice applies to the Northern Negro. He too must ere long learn the value of a dollar, and that it is one of the main things which gives a man social, political and civil liberties. A HOT TIME. At Toas Lodge Room Thursday Night. There was a hot time at the lodge room Thursday night. The K. P. / were the jolliest of jolly that night. The cause of all this was the initiation of six "heap big" felows that night. As the boys and their pet goat were "at their best" it goes without saying what "happened" to the lucky ones. There is such a thing "some times" as finding "brave men," the question could be asked, were there any Thursday night? A person to look at Jeff Thompson would naturally think him so "brave a a lion. Well, of course that would depend. Then Will T. Sohthard might be asked a thing or two, what about it? Yes, take the case of Henry Branson. What about him? Well he had his "ups and dowhs too. Do you know Anthony Hoggett? He was in it too. Comes now one Henry Watson who deposeth and says he certainly met that K. of P. goat. Oh, my! You trlk about asbury McBride; well, we will let him tell you all about it. The lucky ones were: Anthony Hoggett, Jeff Thompson, W. T. Southard, Henry Branson, Asbury McBride and Richard Watson.

"There is," says a Kansas authority, "one sure barometer of financial conditions in Kansas. Whenever the people feel rich they get up schemes to bore in the ground after oil or gas, or other valuable productions. This propensity has given Kansas some very valuable coal, gas, oil and salt fields, and it is to be encouraged, not deplored. To-day something like fifty towns are boring holes in the ground."

Russian Gallantry Toward Women. Although the Russians are not noted for their gallantry toward women, they have scored one on other people. St. Petersburg has recently been provided with new taxameter cabs. They work on a dual system, one for ladies and one for gentlemen, the authorities having been thoughtful enough to introduce a new tariff, according to which ladies are only required to pay half the fare demanded of mere men. Allowances for Japanese Students. Regulations have been published fixing the allowance for Japanese students studying abroad.

In Memory of Martyr: Every year at Tunis a solemn religious service is held in memory of the early Christian martyrs, Viva Perpetua and Felicita. The ceremony was conducted this year a few weeks 20 by Mgr. Combes, archbishop of Carthage. One of the most picturesque incidents in the celebration was the procession to the subterranean chambers attached to the ancient arena of Carthage, the very place where, in the third century, the two martyrs were delivered to the wild beasts. Washington Hall. Few gum chewers. It is claimed that there are fewer gum-chewers in Washington than in any other city of its size in America. Any person who walks down a public street mastificating a wad of gum immediately becomes the subject of remarks. On the other hand, it is asserted that more cigarettes are smoked each day in Washington than in any other city of equal population except those in the extreme southern part of the United States. WHY LINEN IS CALLED LAWN. A Recent Invention Which Will Make It Much More Popular for All Kinds of Clothing. Very few women, probably not more than ten in 100, and a still less proportionate number of men, could answer off-hand the question why fine linen has for several generations been called "lawn." The child might answer, "Because it is made on a lawn," which is not only the simplest, but absolutely the correct answer to the question. During the middle ages Holland was the seat of the bleaching industry, the season lasting from March to September, and the rough linen being sent from England, Scotland and other countries to be whitened. For the word bleach is from the German "bleichen," which means "to whiten"; the word in French being "blenchir," meaning the same thing. In those early days bleaching was a very slow process, consisting of giving the dark brown and rough linen, filled with impurities, alternate baths in alkaline and acid liquids, with long exposures between them to the sun and air. Some pieces were always selected for special attention, including the laying of them on well kept grass plots, or "hawns," from which custom comes the name. In 1749 the canny Scotch concluded that they could do their own bleaching considerably cheaper than the long and very expensive Dutch way. They introduced the use of sulphuric acid in place of buttermilk, and a few years later commenced to use chlorine. But the greatest step forward in that day was made by Charles Tennant of Glasgow, Scotland, when he introduced chloride of lime, which has been used ever since. But still the process, compared with the advance in other lines, is slow, requiring two weeks to properly bleach a piece of linen, and in bleaching it will lose one-third of its weight, while cotton loses but one-twentieth of its weight in bleaching. The greatest advance of all, however, has been made very recently, in fact since the dawn of the twentieth century. This is in the discovery of a starch which, after the linen is properly bleached, will give it any degree of stiffness which may be desired without making it brittle. It has since being put on the market been called the "Defiance" starch. Why it was given such a name is not known, unless it was on account of its rendering "defiance" to old methods. The process of manufacturing this starch has not been patented, but is being kept secret by the inventors and manufacturers. One of the greatest objections to linen, whether used as shirts, collars, cuffs, or underwear, has been that in order to give it the required stiffness and finish, it has been necessary to also make it brittle. And in addition to be unpleasant, this fact has made the expensive than it otherwise would be on account of its breaking, particularly at buttonholes or wherever it was creased. The newly invented starch the objectionable brittleness and the thereby making the linen last longer as well as being more pleasant to wear. Owing probably to the peculiar method of manufacturing it the starch does not require any cooking, but can be mixed to any degree of thickness desired in cold water and still be perfectly smooth and free from all lumps. It is strange, considering the many experts who have worked on the problem for years, that such a starch was not discovered long ago, but like many other things which are perfectly plain and simple after once being known, it remained for these latter years to bring forth something for which women especially, and men whenever they have found their shirts or collars full of rough edges and cracks, have been wishing for several generations. Pesthouse as a "Speakday." A building at McKeesport, Pa., used until a short time ago as a pesthouse, was raided the other day by the police, who found the place full of negroes, with a lively poker game and a "speak-easy" in full blast. Smallpox had evidently no terrors. Wealth of Earl of Cadogan. One of the richest members of King Edward's government is the Earl of Cadogan, who on May 12 reached his sixty-first year. To him belongs most of Chelsea, and though it is not generally known Viscount Chelsea is among his titles, which also includes that of Baron Oakley. Rumors have been rife that a dukedom is in store for the earl as a mark of favor for the way in which he has carried on the duties of lord lieutenant of Ireland.
