(vents, a nation, organized by peo- ple for the welfare of its people and all who may become its people, arrives at a position, in its backward stejis, when the governments thereof are powerless, or have not the dis. position to protect certain of its cutizens, who have in their veins, any of the blood of stolen and en- slaved Africans, Against’ whom because of that blood and the long period of slavery through which they came the prejudice is so great, the lawless, cruel and unscrupulous are permitted to kill, burn alive or tor- ture to death in other ways, there being no protection for them, when only charged with crime; no protec tion for them when arrested and in the charge of the officers of the law. Under such conditions, when it has been heretofore, as declared, “self-evident that, all men are creat- ed equal", with the right to life and of self defense. Should not the common humanity, among such a people, command from Congress, at the least, an enactment, providing that, the officer in charge of the prison of each county in the several states of the union, be required to furnish two good and servicable pistols and an equally good Win- chester rifle, with ample ammunition for the equipment, to every person with Negro blood in his veins, who may be charged with any crime and arrested? So that, when the cow- ardiy and brutal mobs comes to take his life, he may die fighting the bar- barians, taking a number of them with him into the other world. In August last near Marshalltown Iowa, as reported, an old colored man. who defended two young girls from the insolence of tramps, was murdered by them. ‘This occurring in a Northern State, where itis the duty and the disposition of all goo citizens, to protect any woman, regardless of race or color, from the insolence of Drutal men. Killing the old Negro wasa grave offense, punishable as the law directs, Had a similar transaction occured in the South, the girls colored and the tramps white, Killing the Negro would have been entirely legitimate, for did he not, in defending the girls, raise a hand against some of the superior race, even if they were tramps, and there would have been no mob. Killing the Negro would have been quictly accepted. In this case, the colored people of Marshalltown, having recived, it is probable, of the damaging virus. floating this way, from that educa. tion in the southern states, coming to the children and young manhood of those states, during the past 35 years by thecruelties, the barbarism and injustice in constant practice toward colored people and which education has come to pervade, in quite a degree, many peoyle of the northern stztes. Under that influ- ence, “‘the colored people rallied at ‘once in pursuit of the tramps vowing to Iynch them.” Colored people are very much like white people, when they are permit- ted, as in Northern states, to act naturally, and will sometimes ac: quire the worse habits of the whit man, even that unjust barbarism called lynching. But in the south lynching of white men by Negro mobs, would be in violation of the civil law, whenit is not in violatior ofthat law, for the white man t lynch Negroes. But more especiall; would lynching white men by Ne groes, be in violation of the unwrit ten law, ofthat “white mans coun try” would not be tolerated for moment, as every Southern Negr knows. If, however, some extrem outrage, far in excess of thosei common practice, against colore people, was committed by a whit man, the colored people lose the’ heads, under great excitement an lynch the guilty white man, | = - ms esmnde . ing of the whites and, it is probable very many of the Negro men and boys tobe found in the neighbor- hood would be shot todeath, regard. less of guilt or innocence. Acting very much as the Bovers of China are charged with doing. Why not? “Niggers” had taken the life of one of the “superior race” —would teach [2 bad lesson ifahtseverely pnnished. | Taking the life of any person, even when guilty) of a great rime, jby a mob of Jawless men, is one of ithe most cowardly, degrading bar- \barisms that man commits. One to be found only in this nation ard belonging exclusively to that race, ‘claiming to be the “superior race”. The people having in their veins the blood ofthe stolen and ensiaved Africans, have no leaning to such damnable work. It is in violation of the natural condition of their an- ‘eestors_ before enslavement; in vio- ‘ation of those best traits of the uman family ~those “certain chas- }tened qualities of the moral nature,” which came to them, by the oppres- sion; the suffering and submission, forced upon them and their ances- tors, by the power, selfishness and injustice of white people. during the jeentantes of slavery. | That uncivilized act, barbarous in the estreme, taking the life of a une being by a lawless band of men, belongs eaclusively to white ‘men, especially to southern white men, who received from their ances- tors, an unfortunate and damaging inheritance, which came to them during the centuries of slavery. It would bé a great discreilit, a disgrace ofthe worst form, for any colored man to take part in sucha cruel in- justice, It would be discreditable for any of that people, to permit even the thought to come into their minds that any human being should be lynched. [t should be the duty of every colored man and woman to teach their children and youth to ig- nore and condemn all such inhuman acts as heing toa mean, too low and contemptible for colored people to engage iu; that it belongs evclusive- lyand especially to the white race. But, as the white people ot the vet have beenso thoroughly edu- cated in that damnable work, they must ani will continue to lynch Negroes and an ccca-ional white man who becomes as a Negro by boldly condemning the barbarisms and injustice in practice against Negroes and demands their full rights as citizens. In view of this state of things, clearly self evident and the well Anown fact that the habits ol a peo- plegcan only be ohsnged for the better by great «fort and a strong desire to accomplish it and then tim2 very long time will be required to produce it. And no outspoken indications on the part of southern white people to remove these bar- Darisms and injustice. Colored people owe a duty to theniselves and as citizens to the nation. Should do their part toward civilizing the white people claiming to be superiors. ‘That duty should now be commenc- ed and be performed, Some time since this people were called on to “remember the Maine”, They did remember the Maine and great good came from the remembrance with much more to follow: it is probable.

Each one of these acts worthy of the highest. commen- dation, Had they been white men their names would have been heral- ed far and near. Immediately fol- lowing these noble and _high!y com. menilable acts the colored men who 50 couragecusly fought for their rights as citizens, were shot to death or otherwise brutally murdered. These three noble men, martyrs in the cause for right and justice, should be held in remembrance by alll col- ored people. ‘The children and young manhooil of that people, taught to honor their names and to do likewise under similar circum- stances. ‘They should also remem- ber there is no protection for the person or jlile of a colored man, woman or boy charged with a crime under this government; under the flag for which they have fought so often and so well. The colored people of this nation have quietly submitted to the op- pressions, the barbarisms and injus- tice of southern white people, long enough. But theend ofsuch things will not come unless they show a manly purpose to protect themselves, their homes, their women and their children. When this becomes the practice quite generally, the white man will begin to have respect for them and for their rights- A writer of note said; “The Boers have won adegree of respect from the En- glish which was never before accord- ed them.” The Negroes should win similar respect from the southern white people, Not by going to war. But by showing a manly courage and disposition to defend themselves, their women and their homes re- cardless of consequences to them- selves. Every colored man, when a band of lawless white men are pro- posing to take his life or to arrest, which generally means his life, should remain at his post as did Frank 13, Hood, the schoolteacher: but if unarmed run to the cabin or place where the gun or pistol has been securely hid. ‘Then, when the violators of Jaw and his rights ap- proach, make a gallant resistance as did young Hood or still better, as did Jack Trice, and ifhis lifeis to Mr. Frank Hobart the popular druggist at 500 West Tenth St. is be- ing opposed by a trust oganization in this State and City; the local trust is an auaillary of the state trust and the state trust 1s the sameto the national. This way they keep all the druggists together on prices, If the trust says to a Iocal druggist you join our association, and charge the people such prices as we say; that is the trust. If Mr. Hobart 1s encour- aged in this fight the citizens will be greatly benefited. We publish an interview from the Topeka Daily Capital, with Mr. Hobart in last Sundays issue. The Topeka Drug Association (which includes every druggist in town but Frank Hobart) held a meeting at the Copeland hotel last Friday nightyto take action against Hobart for selling drugs at fair prices it being feared that if he was allowed togoon with his low prices the high-priced schedule which has al- ways been maintained in Topeka would go to pieces, One of the members who had recently returned from a trip to Kansas City, Chicagc and St, Louis reported that he had visited the jobbers of those cities {and that they had promised to re fuse to sell Hobart any more good! | whenever requested by the Topek: |pranch of the drug trust.

In either case, go- ing quickly to his home, not to the swamp to be torn by the dogs and then lynched, and make the best arrangment possible for the fight in defense of his race, remaining at his post until the mob comes to take his life~it will surely come. In that blow with his good strong arm he struck one of the “superior race”, which by the uawritien law of that “white man’s country,” is punishable with death, Whenever a colored man is threatened by a lawless band a self constituted posse, the father, brother or son, should promptly go to his aid armed as best they can, sacrificing their lives along with the victim.

He appeared in a new suit of “state clothes." When they saw him bring a little kitten into the White house the other day, and subsequently hand the little pet over to a fashionably attired lady who was riding in a trap; the secret came out. Not long since the of ficial White house cat gave birth to twelve kittens—an even dozen and no more, ‘The old cat and her fami- ly were in George's keeping. When the event became known in official and social circles there was a great demand for kittens born beneath the roof uf the executive mansion, Learning that George was their keeper, society girls sought him out, and each wanted the prettiest one inthe lot, Each was promised the “prettiest one.” When a dozen cus- tomers had been supplied the demand was as grestas ever. As some ot the kittens had brought as high as $5 each, George could not think of retiting from the cat business. He went among his friends in Soutn Washington and discovered other Kittens. ‘They were just as pretty as the White house ones, and passed readily for the genuine article. When a customer was to be supplied George would take one of the South Washington born kittens to. the White house and from there deliver it to the fair one. It may never be known how many kittens are being tenderly cared for about the city, and poinged to as having been bom in the White house. Nor will it ever be known just how much revenue the cat industry forced upon the colored employe who yielded them. aed ‘The Rev. Dr. P. A. Hubert, D.

He said that if the deliberate lynching of Negroes and the burn- ing of black men at the stake, large- Iy because of the mere fact that they are black, does not cease, the color- ed people must go before Congress and demand that their taxes be re- mitted and that they be required to pay no more taxes until, as a race and as citizens of this country, they are given the same protection under the laws and the constitution that is guaranteed to all races and citizens ofthe country. He stated in his ad- dress that he would be one of the first to stand up and mete out full and just punishment to the criminal, Dlack or white, but he insisted that such punishment must come after due process of law and in the rightful LET THE CHRISTIAN People Rise Up in Their Might and Stop the Outrages Vpon A Poor Defenseless People. LET PRESIDENT McKINLEY IN HIS Morning Prayer Look to God and Let His Voice Be Heard In Heaven If He Fears These Devils in the South. Are we becoming a homeless _na- tion, or is this lynching fever becom- ing so prevalent that the Negro must be shot down, Iynched and murdered within the very doors of the churches and places dedicated to the service of Chnstianity. The affair of Benton, La, recently which shall forever throw a blot on_ that fair state already so famous for lynching and other monstrosities of inhumanity gives rise to the question as to whether such mortals can be considered as civilized American citizens. We find in this instance ‘the Chief of Police by his mistaken ideas of his oath of office becoming aleader in the persecution of the Negro. He so far forgets himself asto almost say that he deems it neccessary in keeping the peace to be the head or overseer in the lynch- ing of Negroes who are law abiding citizens. The cause of this over zealous officer in his efforts to keep the peace is the Iynching of Smith and McLand, two innocents sent be- fore their time to the Great un- known for no offence whatever save that they were members of a religi- ous body, and belong to the same church wherein a young tough of respectable family was shot by one Prince Edwards, a member of the same congregation after all manner of persecutions had been used to get him desist in his vile intentions of breaking up the church. Are such men fit to lives we might say are they*fitto die? O what blot on civ- ilization, what a degradation to the negro; ina community where Ne- gro’s are two to one white, are we to set by and sce our race murdered in cold blood; are weto say to our wives and daughters you have no home, are we to frame a motto to be used in our homes that reads “Serve God and bie.” Gentlemen when matters come to such a pass I had just as soon cease to be, as to be; when I know that I must be mur- dered if Tremain in inactivity an silence. T'ildie at last protecting my rights, and say with the immortal Shakespeare, “Blow winds, come back; at least we'll die, with harness on our backs. Dexe. ‘The lynching of “Prophet” Smith and McLand was nothing more no1 less than cold blood, brutal murder ‘There was no evidence of their com: plicity in the murder of Foster. Young Foster like hundreds of white men in the South believe they car abuse Negroes without restraint This tough relying upon his connec- tion with prominent families under. took to wantonly interfere with re- ligious worship and was justly pun ished. ‘The time has apparently come when Negroes will cease to tamely submit to the insults an¢ abuses heaped upon them by South: ern rowdies. The Chief of Police violated his oath as an officer in or der tolend his aid in the unholy work murdering Negroes. This mar was a slave driver before the war and his kind of men are largely re: sponsible for the conditions prevail ing in the South. Eptror. Southern Negroes Hayling for Schools, Atlanta university, whose students have for several years made special investigations of the race question in Georgia and issued a number of in- teresting publications on the results of their studies, has published a leaflet showing what proportion of the cost of Georgia’s public schools is paid by colored taxpayers. I appears that 3 per cent of Georgia property belongs to Negroes, on which they pay an annual tax for school purposes amounting to $26, 347. In addition they pay 2 pol tax amounting to $89,000, which al so goes bodily into the public schoo fond ofthe state. Their proportior Ee indirect taxation for school pur- poses brings their total contribution in 1900 to the following creditable figure: Contributed by the Negroes to Negro schools $292,168.87. Total cost of Negro schools in Georgia $288,128.00. ‘The Negroes of Georgia therefore more than support their own schools and are educating themselves, not receiving an educationor any part of it, sofar as common schools are concerned, from their former mas- ters. The same leaflet states that of reo million dollars spent for Negro schools in the last thirty years in the South, 30 millions have been con- tributed by the Negroes themselves indirect taxation and between 40 and 75 millions im indirect taxation. In other words, throughout the South the Negroes are supporting their part of the public school system. When itis considered that forty years ago not more than one negro ina hundred thousand possessed a dollar of property that he could call his own, but that four millions were themselves property, their support of public education is little short of incredible. It is a common thing to here of the shiftlessness and crimin- ality of Southern Negroes and of what the whites of the South are do- ing for them, this gives the other side of the picture, and an encourag- ing side it is. TOWNSEND SCORES A POINTS The Leavenworth Attorney Shows That He Knows Some Points. An important law point was raised in the District Court by Lawyer W. 3B. Townsend and he won. In com- ‘menting on it the Leavenworth Dai- Iy Times said: “Judge Gilpatrick today reversed the decision of fudge Bland of the Mchison court in the matter of Ed Jaki, colored, who on June 18 1898 was sentenced to the peniten- tairy for five years for burglary in the second degree. “It seems that after Johnson had received his sentence of five years ‘and was in the Atchison county jail ‘he assaulted the deputy sheriff in an attempt to escape. He was not [successful and the court sent for the | prisoner and set aside the sentence of five years and imposed a second sentence, making it eight. “Johnson was then taken to the penitentiary where he served three years. He applied for a writ of habeas corpus through his attorney a Townsend, claiming that the last three years given him was un- awful and asking Judge Gilpatrick to so decide. “Judge Gilpatriék heard the appli- cation. The state of Kansas was represented by County Attorney Micheal for Baily Waggoner of At- chison county, and Assistant Attor- ney General B. F. Tracy for the state. “The case came up today for de- cision after ten of advisement and the court reversed Judge Bland and held that the prisoner, Johnson, could only be held under the first sentence “Johnson, will now, with the good time he has earned, which is more than three years, only have to re+ main in the penitentiary about one year longer. “The decision of Judge Gilpatrick isa written one and shows much study of the points raised in the case by the attorney for Johnson and against him. “The decision is one of much interest to the legal trateruity of the state because it shows , where the jurisdiction of a judge ends and ‘when therights of a prisoner begio.”” Topeka Plaindealer. published at Topeka, Shawnee county, Ks., every Friday morning by the Plaindealer Publishing Co., 114 E 7th st. [In order to insure publication of letter in the current issue, correspondence must be in this office no later than Tuesday] The gathering of two hundred colored women of Kansas in the city of Leavenworth last week seems to have been a revelation to the papers of a city made remarkable in the past year for its dastardly crime. Their coming, and the good sense and dignity displayed by our ladies, has in a measure removed the Hogan idea that, "All coons look alike." This clearly proves the contention made by us, that the trouble with the two races is based largely upon ignorance of each other. The best class of white people know practically nothing of the best class of Negroes. In fact, all they know of the Negro is derived from newspaper accounts of petty crimes, distorted to meet a morbid appetite. When the women of our race convened in Leavenworth, and opened to the public the magnificent display of their artistic talent, they revealed a wealth of intelligence, that surprised and astonished the people "who came to scoff." The Leavenworth Times, commenting on the recent federation meetings, has this to say: "The colored women of Kansas connected with art and literary clubs, in the session of their federation, made a good muster, and had a varied and most intellectual programme. It is by these mutual plans for culture and education, as well as through the schools and colleges, that the future of the colored race will be made brighter and better. "Education is the star of hope to which the colored people should look and by which they should guide themselves. The federation had the opportunity to see the work done by some of the children in our colored schools. If every boy and girl of the race could be brought to school and receive a good education, not only a mental education but a moral training, the status of the next generation would be much higher, and a progressive elevation be achieved. "There are certain acts that occur and conditions that befall the colored people in their relation to the white race which sometimes give rise to a feeling almost of despair in the minds of thinking people, whether white or black, but there is a dawn of light in general and progressive education." The recent meeting was a great compliment to the women of Kansas. It should be an encouragement for future efforts. That there is enough intelligence, dignity and culture in our race to raise it to a high standard no one will question. Let the men second the noble efforts of our women. There should be concerted action on the part of all classes of people against combines and trusts, that operate to raise the price of daily necessities. The fight made by Frank Hobart, the Topeka druggist, against the Drug Store combine should receive the favorable support of all people. John D. Rockefeller has at last got around to the Negro with his munificent charity. Three scholarships, worth $500 each, have been distributed between Tuskegee, Spellman and Hampton. A short time ago he gave $180,000 o Spellman Seminary, a Baptist college for girls, located at Atlanta. He's not quite such a Rock(y)feller as we opined. Prof. W. R. Carter, who has lately been accomplishing such splendid work in our Industrial School for Colored Youths, has been offered a place in Florida. Can Topeka afford to lose the services of such an educator? The Industrial Institute has prospered under his charge. We wonder if the good people of Muncie, Indiana, will apply drastic measures to the seven rapists on account of their color. Just think of seven white men raping a poor, defenseless white woman. It is an outrage on decency and good morals and we advise the colored women of Muncie to watch those white devils. They would rape a colored woman as quick as they would a white. That there is a tacit understanding between the Republican managers and the Southern disfranchisers is becoming clearer every day. The talk about a Southern man for a place on the Democratic and Republican tickets, and the trend of the interviews given out by leading Republican politicians, would give color to this suspicion. While it may be some time before a Southern man is placed on either National ticket, the work of eliminating the race question from Southern politics goes merrily on. The Negro is now disfranchised in nearly every Southern state. The business man of the South will very soon be able to vote for those political policies best calculated to put dollars in his pocket without coming in contact with the Negro. This is according to Senator Elkins. THE PLAINDEALER wishes to call the attention of its many readers to the excellent record made and maintained by our highly esteemed friend, J. E. Latimer, assistant state librarian, whose competence in his position if ever equaled, has never been surpassed by any of his predecessors. Mr. Latimer, prior to accepting his present position, spent his time in "Old Historic Linn," editing and publishing The Pleasanton Herald, which he placed in the front rank of Kansas journals. Although a Democrat, he might well be placed with the Jeffersonian class who know nothing but the true significance of Democracy. He is a staunch and true friend of the Negro—not to his face only but behind his back as well—and were it left to a vote of the people as to who should be librarian, the Negroes to a man would cast their ballots for him. There are a number of positions in our state which should not be controlled by politics and in this case we sincerely hope to see party prejudices relegated to the "pie factory" from whence they come. Should Mr. Latimer be retained by the next librarian, (provided he would accept) there is no doubt that the state as well as the reading public will be greatly benefited by his services. NOTICE.

God had been kind Had he but died adreaming When the love of life was strong within; When shame and fear and the blod-red sin His pretty world had never known, And flawless under Heaven shown God's mirror, Love, agleaming. A weight of flesh then was the odds, Above, which ranked men after gods. He dreamed a dream. No matter what Waked him to feeling, thinking, And the sequent dread of horrid life Of selfish crush and frantic strife For bread to cram the masses of men That they may live to strive again And ever, till the sinking Into the soon forgotten grave That marks the resting of the slave. He dreamed a dream. I was cruel hard To wake and see and suffer; To feel his soul grow cold within; To school his eyes to smile ou sin; Amal the multitude, forlorn, To find his dreary-folk, heaven-born Escape beyond death. Ilood kum to all the brute-things right, Who lived and saw, yet feared to die His dream was past. Things were, to learn, And so, he set to learning. He learned that all to all unity— That his nest as a policy— That they who slew and plundered here But little lower than angels were, And ever lived in earning For the endless peace of Heaven's breath— And spent their lives ludging death. And then he laughed. It was not good This long and joyous laughter. It came from one who claimed no friend, Who saw the play played to the end. Then while his ears rang with the noise Of mighty nose and scanty joys And death's sharpattle after. He laughed his laugh. 'Twain very clear The whole game was not worth a tear. J. MAD MEN, TOPAZ Citizen's Meeting To the Colored Citizens of the State of Kansas: Since the 22d day of February, when many loyal sons of the race did meet in the city of Topeka to get closer together on questions seriously threatening our future, a joint committee, under the indorsement of the executive committees of both bodies, have been busily engaged in ferreting facts and methods in the barbarous Negro burning business. We are satisfied we met with more complications than were anticipated by you when you instructed the committee to "go forth!" Still we cannot surrender. As long as we are in the right we must rally again and again until we command respect from the enemy. Twelve millions Negroes can not sit idly by, hoping and grunting. The inside of what we have found in Alexander case and recommendations thereto, we have decided it wisdom to tell you in a joint session of the Inter Denominational Minister's Union and the Afro-American Councils of the State of Kansas on the third day of July, 1901, at Rev T. Justien DeCleland's Baptist Church, on Warren street, Lawrence Kansas. First session opens at 10 a.m. Let every Minister of the Gospel in good standing, who has his people's welfare at heart, and every city and hamlet organize Councils, select one delegate for every ten members and all meet in this important joint session. Strong anti-lynch state laws and the methods of raising the required finance for what is before us, please give your careful consideration. Again send us true sons and keep the notorious Negroes at home. And also the Negro who only wants to attend to let some white politician know he is a "Big Nigger". You know them. They come to spy or quarrel, or obstruct. Keep them at home or notify the officers about their traits. One-half fare round trip. Your wives, daughters or any representative lady will be admitted to this great meeting, so bring them along. Lawrence, noted for hospitality, will preserve her record in recieving the champions of the Race. Believing God is with us in our sincere efforts, yours devotedly, DR.W. H.

Recognizing the fact that there are many SO-CALLED hair-growers and hair-straighteners now on the market, and knowing to a certainty that many of these are frauds pure and simple, we wish to make a straight-forward, honest statement to the colored race through this great paper. In the year 1871 our late secretary, Mrs. S. M. Moore, through a fortunate circumstance, acquired the receipt for OZONO. It was not offered for sale or purchase to any extent until 1875, when it was put upon the market and met with marked success. After a thorough test by the colored people of that time it was pronounced an honest, legitimate remedy, true to all that was claimed for it, and worthy in every respect of the confidence of every member of the colored race, because they found it to cau-e the hair to grow long and straight, soft and fine, and as beautiful as an April morning. Now, whenever a genuine article appears upon the market there are always a number of people who imitate and make capital out of the merits of other people's goods. Seeing our marked success, numerous firms have entered the market, offering hair-growers and hair-straighteners, many of which are worthless, causing the hair to fall out and doing great damage to the hair and scalp, and the colored people are buying these spurious compounds, which are filled with animal fats, and do the hair more harm than good. To these let us sound a warning—be careful what you use on your hair. Do not be deceived by flaring advertisements and big words. Buy the King of all Hair Tonics.
