THE NEGRO STAR FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE
LIES THAT WILL BE TOLD WHEN SENATE DEBATE ANTI-LYNCHING
BY WM. PICKENS.
(For Associated Negro Press)
They ourselves going to tell them, so we had just as well tell them over to ourselves now and get used to them. It is necessary to lie when one opposes a good man or a good thing. How could one bear testimony against Jesus Christ in court or fight against an anti-murder bill in the legislature without taking a false position? How could he ever score a point by telling the actual truth in such cases? If one wants to "win" in such a position, he must use exaggeration or absolute falsehood.
When this bill come to debate, some of the opposition will, of course, be due to misinformation, mistaken sentiment and false political philosophy—but most of it will be plain, old fashioned, calculated, and deliberate, measured and fitted, cut and dried or canned LIES. And not a single he will be new. We have heard them all before.
But first some of the more or less sincere false notions: Unconstitutionality of the bill; as if it were not the first principle of the constitution of every civilized state to protect the lives and welfare of its citizens, whether the constitution happens to say so in many letters of the alphabet or not. That is the raison d'etre of a constitution and a government. It does not have to be avowed in detail. There would be no need of a constitution but for these lives and interests. When men draw up a charter for the promotion of some business, they do not have to agree in writing, NOT to steal and plunder and destroy the business, or NOT to permit others to destroy it, and besides, this commonsense, there is plenty of expression both in the original constitution and its amendments, which will support any necessary measure against murder, root and rebellion. And finally, a point of order can be called on all "constitutional" arguments until the matter has been passed by congress and brought before the courts.
That the bill will encourage crime; as if the punishment of a greater crime will encourage a lesser one on any kind of one. That it will violate state right; as if that bogie did not die 60 years ago. What state could ever have a right either to do or to permit organized murder. And it will not in the least impair the state's rights to prevent it, because the general government exercises its concurrent right to prevent it also.
That it will not stop lynching as if a million laws against murder had ever stopped murder. But although anti-murder laws have not stopped murder they have stopped a lot of murders and prevented more. Because a law never yet has been 100% effective, shall there be $n_0$ law? Follies!
And now for the plain LIES:
That lynching is for rape: while not even the mob has had the effrontery to charge rape in as many as one case out of five. And it would be unheard-of foolishness to accept as whollytrue even the small proportion of rape cases charged by a mob. Knowing that this is their best card, the mob plays it as often as possible.
That it will make white women unsafe; as if white women were to be protected by the criminals rather than by the laws and courts of these United States. As if a white woman at the present minute in the midst of black men in the state of Georgia were not ten times safer even from insults, than a black woman in the same state in the midst of white men is from extreme physical violence. As if civilized communities, like the British West Indies where the blacks greatly outnumber the whites, ever had to resort to lynching to protect the whites women or to protect anything else. As if it were not true that a much smaller percentage of rape is committed by black men than by white men.
- That it will cause more lynchings;
as if human_pature were so updip-
down and so inside-out in Mississippi
Vol.14, No.13.
And now for the plain LIES:
and Georgia that the lyncher will be more apt to comme his crime if you give him a chance to get into the penitentiary, than he is now with his present chance to get into the hero column of the newspapers. We will not believe that until it is demonstrated MORE THAN ONCE.
That the states if let alone will eradicate lynchings: as if the vry states that do the lynchings were not the states most solidly opposed to anti-lynching laws & even to anti-lynch lynching laws and even to anti-lynching education. Why should the rest of the country leave those states "alone?" Civilization in the rest of the country is being victimized by this crime. The victimized part of the community could as reasonably be asked to let highway robbers alone, in the prospect that their own consciences and the good members of their families will ultimately (certainly ultimately) reform them. That there is no occasion or "reason" for such national legislation: as if 4,000 lynched men and women were not just 3,999 superfluous reasons for law against it.
New Hope Baptist.

An excellent sermon was preached.
As usual, the Social and Study Hours of the B. Y. P. U., were welcome, happy hours. These young folks are builders.
At the evening service the twenty-seventh Psalm was read as a Scripture Lesson. Using for a text St. John 12:23, and as a subject: "The Central Attraction of the Age." Dr. B. C. Rannavalona preached the Gospel.

A RIVAL OF GALLI-CURCI
NEW YORK, N. Y., July 21—Mme. Cole-Talbert, one of the chief artists to record for the Black Swan Records recently scored such a big hit before a large white audience in Detroit that Rex G. White of the DETROIT NEWS made favorable reference to this wonderful singer in following fashion:
"Florence Cole-Talbert, declared by many to have a voice rivaling Galli-Curl, was the star of the evening. This brilliant singer found difficulty in getting away from her audience although she obliged with four numbers. Her voice is a soprano of great range and sweetness, her vocal flexibility is marked and gives case and clarity to her utterance. She made a tremendous hit with her audience."
That the music loving public appreciates high class music as well as "blues" is being evidenced by the big demand made since June for "The Dell Song" and "The Kiss" which numbers me. Talbert recorded for the Face Phonograph Corporation.
Life Is Not Safe In Florida.
JACKSONVILLE, FLA., July 21—Attacked by three unidentified white men while he was returning from church, Lee Dragg, 35, a Bayare colored farmer, was shot and killed One shot was fired, the bullet passing through the heart. After the shooting the trio escaped in a black Chevrolet automobile and headed toward Jacksonville.
Chief Deputy Sheriff Frank Edwards, investigating the killing, said last that arrests probably would be made today. Accompanied by Deputies C. K. Robinson and A. J. Brigance, they procured some important information, which might solve the mysterious shooting, they stated.

Outlook For Another Black Champion.

For some time he has been after Carpentier for a match, and Francois Descamps, the latter's manager, promised it to win in the event the African defeated Marcel Niles, which Sikl did on June 23. He is as good as matched with Frank Moran, the American fighter, now in London, but who has agreed to the match.

Could Escape The Prejudice
HOUSTON, TEXAS, July 21-C.
F. Richardson, editor-publisher of the HOUSTON INFORMER, who has fine $100 and cost in the corporation court on two charges, operating car without tail-light and using abusive language to officer, and who appealed his cases to the county court-at-law and was fined $1 and $100 and cost in the cases, respectively, lost out last Friday when the court overruled his attorney's motion for a new trial. He paid the fines, which amounted to $207.05, which stand perhaps as the heaviest penalty ever imposed upon a person in Texas for such a petty offense.
At both trials several reputable and reliable citizens, all of whom were present at the garage where the alleged abuse occurred, teseified that Editor Richardson did not abuse nor swear at the officer, but that the officer entered the garage cursing and threatening the editor's life and endowed to raise a "rough house." One Witness testified that the officer entered the garage waving and flourishing "his revolver like a desperado in the wild west picture shows."

EDITORIALS
IF it is a clean, clean-cut man you want for our next Sheriff, vote for Chester Connor August 1, He promise to recognize humanity and not classes of humanity, but justice to all.
THE Christian church needs more strong, determined men to transact its business affairs and less honor seeking factions composed of forces that have employed all the known methods of gutter politics to maintain their power in the racial church life.
GO to some Church Sunday because you have within your powers that God can utilize for the best interests of HUMANITY. With God you are a power for good in this community, but God will never use you until you are in touch with the forces of Heaven that can be found fully alive only in the CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
THE NEGRO STAR repeats all leaders of the race though they may differ in opinion to The Star. Will throw no mud and answer no attacks not thru fear, but due to the fact that Negro Readers must have facts of interest to he race only. It will knock no man but go down battling for what after calm, deliberate thought it believes to be for the general betterment of the Race with a mind free and open to conviction.
IN the church life in particular and the public life generally the forces or individuals that cannot give an accurate on demand from the forces from which they derive their official existence and are hurt when such investigations are made are fully out of harmony with the interests of Christ and just so long must stand obnoxious in the sight of people who demand fair play, and honest dealings.
IF some of the people who daily knock Negro, editors, preachers, teachers, and race leaders of the city, state and nation would learn to play the square game for the interests of their race themselves; and put off the garb of veneered Christianity true race leaders would not daily fear be offered up on the alter of racial crucifixion, and dare take a more vigorous course of procedure in meeting some of the oppositions that are steadily invading upon the sacred rights of the race group.
TO many factors are battling for the best interests of the race with kid gloves, the grim of weaklings and the faithless prayers. God demands the forceful outspoken man of affairs at the helm and full support of the race towards such a leader even though he may error at times. The race needs something more in these hours besides dream made ministers absolutely unqualified either mentally torial and school room of a race which or morally and weaklings in the distressing for great things. BLANK MEN AND WOMEN WITH BRAIN AND CHARACTER are the DEMAND.
AFTER any battle to have joyful hour with a heart warm for those who have differed with an opinion set forth and feel that the victory has not made you one bit the foe towards the other fellow. To meet a man and differ with him on a pronounce in the fullness of a fair mind, and respect him all the more for his stand. To admire Brain and Blood in the national life of the racial group and ever be ready to rise in its defense. To maintain respect for the fellow who knocks and curses you for daring to stand out for your own honest convictions. To feel yourself better than no man and the peer of all men. To have just sense enough to know who the fellows are that would give you over into the hands of crushing defeat and disgrace; with Grace enough to respect them when they are right and battle with them when they are wrong. To ignore an insult offered in private or public after you have noted the forces from which it comes with a smile. Such are the things that makes a superior creature.
PRICE. FIVE CENTS
REPUBLICANS of Kansas will be called upon at the primary August 1. to select their standard bearer for the November election. Regardless for nothing unless your vote gets into the ballot box. It is therefore your first duty to get out and vote and see that your neighbors and friends do likewise. Equally important is the duty of deciding which of the various candidates will best carry out the wishes of the majority of the people of Kansas. In our opinion that candidate is W. Y. Morgan, of Hutchinson.
One of the most important things that will face the new Governor will be a reduction in state expenditures. Here Mr. Morgan makes a definite promise, one that is not guess work, but that has been reached after going over the matter carefully with members of the legislature, who have had the preparation of the state budget in charge.
As a result he pledges himself with the help of the legislature, to cut expenses two million dollars, or about twenty-five percent. That is a plain statement that leaves no room for doubt, and that does not deal in glittering generalities. We believe that he will be able to domore than he promises to do—that he will be able to work in harmony with the legislature—that he will stay on the job—and that he will give the people of Kansas a sane, progressive, economical administration.
Mr. Morganwas raised in Chase County. His father was an old soldier, and Mr. Morgan himself served overseas in the Y. M. C. A., the only place he could get into service. He has the general support of the American Legion boys, and of their friends. He has served in the legislature, and as Lieutenant Governor. He has the business experience and the traing which fits him to be Governor, and without any reflection on any other candidate, we believe the best interest of the state will be served by his nomination.

BIRMINGHAM, ALA., July 21 Nineteen colored city employees went on strike here Monday, demanding higher pay. The men are garbage haulers, and their defection troubled the health department for a few hours. Street Commissioner, George C. Moore arbitrated the matter, and the men returned to work.
Full Blooded-African Reaches Highest Mark.
LONDON, ENG., July 21—Mr. G. M. C. Thompson (holder of a Certificate of Honour awarded Easter term, 1919) M. A., B. C. L. (Durham), and LL. B. (London) was called to the Bar at the Inns of Court last week, and in virtue of the honour he had won, was called upon to make the customary speech to the benchers. As already stated in these in these columns, Mr. Thompson is the son of Mr. Max Thompson of Sierra Leone, and as the SUNDAY TIMES said, "It was an impressive example of the solidarity of the British Empire that at the call to the Bar of students of the Inner Temple, the leader and spokesman of the young barristers was Mr. Thompson, who belongs to a family of Freetown, who, on behalf of his behalf of his brethren of all shades of colour, made a speech acknowledged girl the honour conferred upon them by the Benchers of the Inn."
Mr. Thompson was educated at Durham University (Fourah Bay College), and won his Bachelor of Arts and Ficentlate in Theology at the age of 19. On taking up the law, he proceeded to the further degrees in his University of Master of Arts and Bachelor of Civil Law in 1915. He was not long in establishing a record for West Africans in passing successfully in his first term at the Inns of Court all the first part of the Bar exams, and was placed alone in the first-class honours list in Constitutional Law and Legal History. Mr. Thompson appeared to enjoy facing law examiners, for he set himself to securing the Bachelor of Laws in the University of London, and his efforts resulted in placing him in the second-class honours list. Finally, he has been rewarded with a first-class honour at the Bar Final, an attainment never hitherto reached by a full-blooded West African.
Columbus Means
COLUMBUS, OHIO, July 21—The Columbus Branch of the National Association of Negro Musicians is making elaborate preparations for the entertainment of the Fourth Annual Convention of the nation, organization. The mgetings will be held July 25th, 26th, and 27th at the St. Paul A. M. E. Church. This promises to be the biggest convention that the association has held since its organization. Letters from all parts of the country received by the local committee indicate the great amount of interest which musicians are manifesting in this meeting.
Columbus is determined to show the delegates that northern hospitality is just as great as southern hospitality. The Convention was held in Nashville last year and the people of that city spared no means in making the visitors feel that they were welcome. Columbus expects to "go Nashville on better." "We are anxious for the musicians of the country to realize that Columbus really appreciates them and the great work which the association is doing for the race," said Mr. I. Cleveland Lemons when interviewed by a representative of the Associated Negro Press. Mr. Lemons is president of the Columbus Branch. "It is so," continued Mr. Lemons, "that there are more coed musicians in Columbus than in most cities. Whether this is literally true or not, we do not know, but we do know that the people of this city have a high appreciation of high-type music and are interested in any organization which is laboring for the advancement of this type. We shall certainly do all within our power to make the convention a success.
MEMPHIS, TENN., Ju'y 21—The National Negro Fusional Directors and Embalmers Association are planning some progressive efforts to correc abuses which they state exist in the undertaking business. A vigorous movement is on foot to have a majority of the 800 undertakers in the country attend the annual meeting which will be held at Norfolk in Conjunction with the National Negro Business League. Secretary Wayman Wilkerson states he expects the largest conference In the history of the association and that the keynote will be "A Better Day for Undertakers." Just what this holds out to
prospective customers, he does not say. "Organization gets results", said Pres. Franklin. The average community has three times as many undertakers as necessary and new one opening every day. "Secret Societies boasting big bank account make us wait for from two to eight months on our bills. In many places the whte undertakers get all the best funerals and sururban storekeepers sell caskets, and pay no license, while we pay from $100 to $500. By organization we can change these conditions, so we say "ON to NORFOLK."

To The Negro Star:
INDIANAPOLIS, IND., July 10. For sometime, I have promised to write a letter for your valuable paper. I have been a busy man since leaving Wich ta, wh h has prevented my performing this duty as soon as I desired. I want to offer a word of compliment on the improvement of your paper and assure you that you have my best wishes for continued success.
We are living in a day when man must think and think well. Not only must men think, but they must put into action those fire qualities, which only come from proper thinking. We must not allow the meanness of men to poison our minds and render us unfit to serve our day and generation. They are many things happening to corrupt the souls of men, ore against the other; if allowed to do so. It really takes strong and brave men, to endure the pernicious treatments, which come against us as a race. Cowards and demogogues cannot be trusted. Only men who carry the right heart can with safety point the way. The Negroes of this country must brace themselves for a strong battle. Brace themselves within against the powerful inducements to be controlled by enmity and malice. There are a number of speakers within our own race who encourage this very thing. No race or people can win in the long run, if they fight the battle on such weak territory. When I say this do not think I mean to be a compromiser. Do not think I mean that we must close our mouth and keep quiet when injustices are being heaped upon us. We must let everybody know that we know what right is and that we expect nothing less, but at the sametime let us sec to it that the contracts for truth and right do not effect us in the wrong way. It was Solomon, the wise man, who said: "He that ruleth h's spirit is better than he that taketh a cay."
It seems to me that the nations of this entire earth are being tested at this time. All of them are confronted with gigantic prob'sms and with a question mark following: "What will you do?" How long this period for decision will last no one can even estimate, but God will not forever favor that nation or people, who because they are in power oppress the poor, and he pless. The statement of this world will never be able to settle these countries and bring about peaceful conditions everywhere, the way they are going. This laws of men will only confuse the situation. Pile, if you please one law upon the other, but no part of a country can be free until all are free. If all the nations had gathered around this one sentence: "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." and with hand in hand adopt it and then put it into practice, the troubles which are now bleeding the hearts of men would fast be on their road to settlement, and every man great and small, rich and poor would feel to be his brother's keeper. Confidence would be restored everywhere and a spirit of fine brotherhood sweeping from sea to sea would lift men to a higher standard of cit zenship, which cannot be attained otherwise.
No nation on God's earth has a better opportunity to be an example along rehitetous lines than America. Will she stand the test? If not she will prove herself unworthy, and in the midst of her progress and achievements, will lose her place as a great Christian Nation. It is not impossible—It will be serious should the handwriting be: "Thou art weighed in the balance and found wanting."
I beg of you, let us find favor with God. Those of us who are prepared, let us help to train our folks everywhere, so they, with us may have this favor in time of retribution. No time to waste for every moment is precious. The responsibility rests upon us To neglect, means to fail.
It was Theodore Parker, who said: "Let us do our duty in our shop or our kitchen; in the market, the street, the office, the school, the home, just as faithfully as if we stood in the front rank of some great battle, and knew that victory for mankind depended on our bravery, strength, and skill."—When we do that, the humblest of us will be serving in that great army which achieves the welfare of the world."

port Township Sun-
day ..School ..Conven-
tion.
BY HAROLD WASHINGTON
Report of the Convention
On July 2nd, there fhet at District
No. 8 the members of the Logansport
Convention. Owing to various causes
the usual attendance was dminished
and Rev. Matthew Jones of Friend,
Kans., was unable to be present, but
those who were perm(ted to attend
were earnest ,and sincere in their en-
deavor to make the day a success.
The books for the Teachers Train-
ing Courses advised at the preceding
Convention, were voted to be pur-
chased by the Convention to be dis-
tributed to the various Sunlay School,
Song Servre books were purchased
for tte Convention,
Since Rev. Jonts was not prceent,
Rev, Finley was the speaker of the
dey. The Members present for reci
tations ahd song were very enter-
taing and instrucitve. The duet by
Mise Bertha and Miss Marie Welling.
ton was partyularly pieasing and ef-
fective. The play of “Bethlehem”
fraatring \important §-ménine. per-
sonsges of by gone civilzations was
@ great success. The maids of Beth-
Iehem fn their shrouds spoke the'x
sentiments and introductory explana-
tions with an air of quiet dignsicd
gravity while the choir sang: “Beaut-
fal Isle of Somewhere” as an sccom-
pan'pent between acenes.,
Other numbers that space wil not
permit were also very appealing. ,

CHICAGO, ILL., July 21—In an effort to improve railway traveling conditions in the South, the transportation committee of the Nation Business League has been taking up with various Southern railroads the matter of travel to and from Norfolk, where the League convenes August, 16-17-13.
The passenger departments of various roads, including the L & N. Coast Line, Atlanta & West Point Southern and Norfolk & Western, have agreed to do all in their power to assure comfortable transportation for the league members, and urged that persons intending to visit the League at Norfolk make application providing puliman accommodations are desired at as early a date as possible before starting the journey.
Persons who are planning to go to the Norfolk meeting should take advantage of this opportunity and be certain to request tickets on the certificate plan so that the reduced fare uttered may be secured. Any additional information desired can be secured from the transportation agent, Claude A. Barnett, 3423 Indiana Avenue, Chicago.

The program will be carried out, the statement said, "as soon as it can be ascertained whether it meets with the approval of a majority of the Dominican people." The department further announced
times."
This is the expression of one of the older men who are awaking to the necessity for taking a more lively interest in the younger members of the race who are striving to honorably achieve something in life than they have been accustomed to do in the not very far past. Halton's struggle against great difficulties is the only for himself to reach in the business world or in any of the activities of life.
"Our young men need the encouragement which come from whatever we can give them of favorable acclaim when they show us something of that measure of courage, character and capacity that stands for real achievement." Hatton's case is one of an increasing number. I am glad to say, that are making their welcome appearance in all the sections of the land. It is one of the fine signs of the of things we generally say he has been "going some." And that is what a great many local business people have been saying about E. J. Hatton, a young colored business man who has been making what a goodly number call phenominal strides in the business life of Chicago. What might be said about in a general way is only a citation of what is within the reach of any young colored man in any section of the country who has pluck enough and energy to step from the common ranks of man and set a mark that Summer Wells of New York, former chief of the Latin American division of the department, had been appointed commissioner to the Dominican republic with the rank of envoy and minister and would leave immediately for the island to ascertain the views of the population on the American withdrawal plan.

His case is merely cited as an example of what is going on all around us, and this particular mention is merely made to call attention to the startling growth of the spirit of worth adventure that is being made, at that time in the City of Chicago.

He is capable, progressive and brave, fact that it is good sometimes to make That is quite enough, aside from the mention of the things which the more nearly approach the provinces of genuine achievement.

JOHN H.
Present conditions call for the special consideration of business and economic questions by the People. It is unfortunate that we have this depression but perhaps it will bring us to some wise legislation which would not be considered necessary when everything is lovely.
I believe the Republican party in Kansas should place a program before the people which will be sane and constructive and practicable. Here are five principal needs of the state which can be reached by legislation and the Republics should pledge themselves to the doing of them.
First, a considerable reduction in expenses without injury to the institutions or the interests of the state. Second, a reform in assessment laws which will reduce the assessment for taxation of the farmer, the home ower and the merchant. Third, take off the tax on farm mortgages, which is in fact a double tax on the land owner. Fourth, a budget system which will place responsibility on the executive for the proposal of appropriations to the legislature. It will also lead to economy and more careful legislative action.
Fifth, repeal of the state laws creating tax exempt securities. One's platform like this secures
On a platform like this, for economy
and common sense. The Republican party can not only win but can make good.
By W. Y. MORGAN, Republican Candidate for Governor.
TOPEKA, July 21—Interest in the vglit for the Republican nomination for Governor of Kansas is now confined to guessing who will be second know in Kansas politics almost unin the race. Those who art in the animously concede the nomination of W. Y. Morgan of Hutchinson, and estimates of his plurality run from ten to twenty-five thousand, depending upon the size of the vote cast.
As a matter of fact Mr. Morgan is the only candidate with a state wide foyowing. He has an active organization in every country—not one of professional politicians, but one made of stockmen, business men, farmers, women, believers in law enforcement a substantial following of the solid, sensible labor element, and the active support of a majority of the Republican newspapers of the state.
In the past few days Fred W. Knapp, who is making an open appeal to the radical vote of the state, has been creeping up on the home stretch. It is still the general prediction, however, that second place lies between Lapherton, Stubbs or McNeal.
Since about the middle of May Lambertson has been losing strength, chiefly because of the fact that the farmers have discovered that the Lorny handed candidate is linked up with Dave Mulvane and Sam Fitzpatrick, mouthpiece of the Standard Oil and the other boys of organized politicians who know what they want, and are playing Lambertson to get it for them. Until this week he was placed to follow Morgan, but McNeal has been flirting with the striking labor men of the state with a promise to wipe out the Industrial Court, while Stubbs is claiming to have the only ear that is tuned in to the troubles of the worker, both claims being disputed by Knapp, who points out that these cand dates are wearing his clothes, and that Lrpbertson started out in Knapp's clothing, but has been throwing it away garment as the warm weather came on. Strang ly enough all the candidates, except Morgan, pay no attention to the legislature, which really has the say so about taxes, the Industrial Court, and all the other things the candidates so blithely promise to reduce, abolish or otherwise mutate. In fact, if the promises of the candidates are to be believed, Kansas is in for a couple of years of "one man" government if any of them should win, which is probably the reason that they are all doped to be fighting for second place.
TOPEKA, Ju'y 21—What has happened to "horny handed" Lambertson, the "dirt farmer" candidate, is the question that is agitating Kansas political circle just now. Lambertson went into the race as a candidate on the grass roots, and he was against hard surfaced roads, the Industrial Court, machine politicians and the interests.
After he had spent a few weeks campaigning he decided that he was in favor of combining the Industrial Court and the Utilities Commission, and that the people rather than a candidate for governor our to have the say about good roads.
Now, he has the backing of Dave Mu'vane, the head of whater political machine there is in Kansas, of Sam Fitzpatrick, the official mouthpiece of the Standard Oil Company in Kansas, and all the other corporate interests that "Dave and Sap" can bring into the fight, which leads to an interesting speculation as to whether farmers of Kansas can be persuaded to go to the polls and awn'low the Lambertson-Mulvane-Standard oil dos

DODGE CITY, July 21—W.Y. Morgan, of Hutthineen, got almost as many votes as al. other candidates put together on a poll taken on a Santa Fe local train between Dodge City and Newton. The poll was taken by Col. Amos Mardis, formerly of Syria, but now of the Soldier's Home at Dodge City. Telling of the vote, Colonel Mardis said:
"How this for running on high? A straw vote taken on the Santa Fe local from Dodge City to Newton showed Morgan, 42; Lambertson, 22; McNea, 18; Stubbs, 10."
DELVIDERE, July 21—W. C. Millar, one of the leading stockmen of Kansas a former member of the Legislature, and active in the Kansas Live-stock Association where he is known to all cattlemen as "Billy, is an ardent supporter of W. Y. Morgan, of Hutchinson, as the proper republican nominee for Governor. In a statement just made public Mr. Millar says: "I am for W. Y. Morgan for Governor because I believe him to be the most competent and the best qualified candidate. Moreover I believe that he will make the best Governor of any of those in the race.
"Out our way the people generally believe in the sane, sensible program

that Morgan has outlined. They be-ove that he has made promises that he can redeem, and they know him to be the kind of a candidate who will do more than he promises rather than less.
"We want tax reduction without injuring the educational institutions of the state, and without retarding progress. Consequently we are interested in his statement that with the help of the legislature he can cut the expenditures two million do lars without destroying the efficiency of the state government. We believe he can do it, and that he will, and that is the reason that I am for him, and that he will get a great big vote in this section of the state."
Topcke, July 21—Senator Arthur Capper and former Governor E. W. Hoch will undoubtedly be greatly surprised to learn that the supporters of W. R. Stubbs, who served two terms as Governor between the Hoch and Capper administrations and is now a candidate for a third term, are giving credit to Stubbs for lows which were enacted during the Hoch and Capper administrations. As an illustration they give credit to Stubbs for the law reducing freight rates, the anti-pass law, the twocent passenger fare, not to mention the liquor law.
As a Matter of fact the law reducing freight rates and the anti-pass law were put on the statute books during the administration of Governor Hoch. Further than that W. Y. Morgan was chairman of the railroad committee, which drafted the bills which were passed by the house and signed by the Governor. John Simmons, of Lane County, was speaker of the house at the time, and Morgan was entrusted with the job of steering them safely through.
Incidentally the direct primary law for which the Stubbs followers take credit, was passed under the Hoch administration, and was put across under the direction of Cy Leland. And the two-cent fare which is now claimed by the Stubbs mach'ne, was put into effect on an order of the Utilities Commission during Hoch's term of office.
As for prohibition, Kansas has had a prohibitory law since the eighties, and nearly every administration since that time had a hand is strengthening the law. Governor Capper, however, however, is entitled to the Credit for the "borne dry" law, for a, was during his term of office that the law was passed which made the state so dry that crops were endangered. In the same way most of the other laws for which the Stubbs followers claim credit were inaugurated by other Governors, or were patched up by succeeding administrations.
