THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. The Man who used Burnt Cork to Hide His Crime Still Lives; Was he Carried to Lansing for Protection? No, We Don't Lynch White Men on Such Charges Eulogizes our Lamented President Chief Justice Doster Delivered one of the Ablest Speeches For Such an Occasion Ever Made in Topeka CHIEF Justice Doster eulogizes social order, moral condition or na our lamented president; one of national welfare? No, because these so VOLUME III. the ablest speeches on such an occasion ever delivered in Topeka. The Judge has been classed an anarchist, socialist, nihilist and everything that a politician could call an opponent. He proved the falsity of the accusation in his honest and manly dignified manner in the way he has conducted the business of the supreme court. He has proven himself to a scholar, jurist and gentleman, as well as honest, sober and upright. The talk he made at the Auditorium upon the life of our lamented president will put all of these false rumors to flight; his position on socialism was so clear that there is no room for contention. That all men could live without the compulsion of law. There were no hypocrisy or deceit used in this speech; it was honest and fearless; from the bottom of his heart his expression, his very countenance, showed he meant what he said. There is to be found no man any fairer. He spoke as follows: "I am glad of this opportunity to join voice with you in a tribute of respect to William McKinley, to testify my horror at the assassin's act which ended his life, and my detestation of the alleged motive for the deed. I believe in social order and organized government. I believe that social order can be maintained only through organized government. I believe I do but voice an universal sentiment when I say I love to contemplate a state of society in which everyone, voluntarily, without the compulsory force of law would submit himself to such restraints of individual action as might be necessary to the good of the social whole, but I know that humankind is incapable now of the practice of such high virtue, and I know that it can attain to it, if ever at all, only through the scourgings of municipal law and the doing of pence for violated commandments. He who would reach to that state where men dwell together in amity and good will does but murder his own ideal when he fires the assassin's shot or plunges the assassin's dagger, because he does but arouse the very passions and unlobe the very furies to restrain which municipal law became necessary and was called into being. No assassination, political or otherwise, ever trammelled up its consequence. On the contrary none but let out with the victim's blood a Pandora's box of evils to plague the world with still more murder, and with anger, sorrow, treachery and lies. Of all the instances of human unreason I know of none more illogical than that form of anarchistic philosophy which teaches that fraternity and peace may be reached through the assassination of men. The murder of William McKinley has so stirred the resentment of the world as that the cause of the social reform it needs has been retarded through the generation which witnessed the deed. "But, it is indeed a relief to turn from the melancholy spectacle of an assassinated magistrate, and from the lawlessness and unreasoning passion which react the crime to the character and virtues of the victim. On these I far prefer to dwell. "It is not the language of extravagance to say—what could never before be said of mortal clay—that this day the entire civilized world is in attendance at the funeral of William McKinley. This day there is scarcity in American, if any at all, who does no feel to say Mark Anthony at the grave of his friend— "Bear with me; my heart is in the coffin there with Caesar, and I must pause till it comes back to me." 'This day scarce an American citizen but feels in the death of one man a sense distinctly approaching personal bereavement. Why is this nation, wailing at the tomb of the dead president? Is it because his administrtive policies were so universally approved as that everyone acclaimed himwise and just? No, on the contrary, they were disapproved by a vast body of his countrymen. Is it because he typified that against which anaruy raised its hand, the majesty of thdaw? No, even despots do that. Is it because he more than any one else gided the forces which make for social order, moral condition or national welfare? No, because these so far as human agencies are concerned are more fully set in motion and moved by the law-abiding and law-expounding branches of government. He was but the executioner of what they willed and what they decided, Is it because of his cruel, undeserved death? Only that in part. If outside his rank and power, if apart from the wisdom and justness of his rule, if aside from the tragedy of his fate he had not been something else, the entire nation would not be now assembled around his bier. I'll tell you what it is that this day makes every JUDGE DOSTER. American citizen a mourner at this tomb. It is because of that trustful feeling which everyone possessed that above William McKinley the partisan stood William McKinley the patriot; that above William McKinley the statesman was William McKinley the upright, common citizen; that above William McKinley the president towered William McKinley the conscientious, clean and moral man. "Most men of renown have won the regard of their countrymen by their deeds, but I venture to say that if we look clearly into our hearts, William McKinley's lodgement there will be found to be less because of the value of his public services than his devoted faithful performance of them according to the light he possessed, less because of the wisdom and brilliancy of his intellect than the goodness of his soul and the simplicity—the almost humility of his life, less because he was a statesman and more because he was a friend; less because of his attractiveness in public station and more because of his character as a courtly knight and gentleman. "It was not my fortune to have a personal acquaintance with the dead president, nor was I able to approve some of his policies, but in the possession of all those qualities which differentiate the man from the public official, and which when possessed distinguish the man as a public official, and without which presidents are unworthy the title and the rule, he was the peer if not the superior of the most worthy of them all. He alone of all escaped criticism of private character and habits. Against both Cleveland and Garfield immorality of personal conduct has been charged. Of Hays it was said by some that he sought by devious ways to obtain the high seat, knowing he was not elected to it. Against Grant grievious charges of corruption in office were made. To Lincoln was attributed coarseness and vulgarity of habit and speech. Of Buchanan it was said he was willingly and criminally the plaint and tool of the slave power, while Jackson was accused of the awful crime of murder, but in the fierce light which for nearly a generation beat upon the armour of William McKinley the shafts of personal calumny could find no opening place to enter. Well, indeed, might Leon Czolgosz, the wretched assassin watching for the evil moment to deliver his blow, have paused to say as Macbeth did when contemplating the murder of his king: "Besides this Duncan hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been so clear in his great office, that his virtues will plead like angels, trumpet tongued, against the deep damnation of his taking off." "May I now in conclusion, though really to repeat myself, say that the lesson of the life of William McKinley as I have learned it is the lesson of moral worth—of the beauty of right living. It is not the lesson of exalted station reached from a hum- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 27, 1901. DID ED WILDER PAY THE CUSTOM HOUSE DUTIES? On His Statuary and other Articles Subject to Duty, which he Loaned the Public Library? Is the Question the People of Topeka Want Answered. ble level through strenuous endeavor, of high office gained in unequal contest with adverse fate, which is so often pictured for the inspiration of the youth. May I say that kind of a lesson is hardly a profitable one among the great varities of life. "What is some of the instruction included in the lesson McKinley taught? I will mention only those things which this hour more than at any other time need be learned. They are love of peace and the institutions of social order, tolerance of sentiment, charity of disposition, forgiveness of spirit. Typifying as he did in his representative capacity the supremacy of the law, in his name then I protest against the anarchy of governmental subversion and social chaos; and I protest not only against the anarchy of the assassination of rulers but I protest against the anarchy of mob violence of suspected and possibly innocent men and women. A soldier, who himself had heard the shoutings of the captains and had seen the riot and carnage of battle, he yet, though in command of the mightiest legions of the earth, was the last and most reluctant to enter the conflict. Master of himself, calm tempered and soul-contained, in his name then I protest against that demoniac and unseemly rage which now fills the land, and which so ill befits the character of men and the dignity of grief. With the first sharp pangs which followed the murderous shot, with the assassin full in his gaze, out of the abounding forgiveness of his heart he said; 'Let him be fairly treated.' In the name then of the great soul who thus forgave, and the great magistrate who thus commanded, I protest against that barbaric torture, unheard since the Dark Ages, said to be inflicted upon the miserable wretch to extort from him unwilling and perhaps perjured confessions. May the graciousness of William McKinley's spirit be this day and hence on imparted to the American people." Oh my, would you think Eddie Wilder did this? Well, we don't know, he is guilty of so many little big things. The citizens and tax-payers ought to know when they are getting a square deal. We have set still for years and allowed a set of hypocrites to have their names heralded to the world what benefactors they are, and the "noble" things they are doing for the city. How we laud them to the sky and say: "What would we do if it were not for Mr. A and Mr. B, why he works for love, he don't have to take money for his services, he is a big man, etc." Now this is the way we have been getting fooled by such "Bir Ikes" as this fellow. Wilder went abroad this year and upon his return he brought some porcelain, a few China vases and a small statue of Pauline, sister of Napoleon I. We are told he bought this to decorate the interior of a new house he contemplates erecting in the close future. The statuary and other articles from foreign countries intended for public libraries or other institutions of art are not subject to duty. You can draw your own conclusions as to why the president of this institution would not take advantage of this golden opportunity to get these things through free. He perhaps thinks he has done so many "noble" things for charity, that he ought to have something gratis if it is nothing more than a "little free duty!" The Daily Capital of Aug. 18 makes this bold statement and it was not contradicted by the "Martin Hill Park Marmate": "One of the most beautiful and exquisite gift to the public library in the history of that institution is the recent donation of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Wilder. It is a half reclining statue of Pauline, sister of Napoleon I, as Venus. It was on exhibition in the museum of Rome during Mr. Wilder's visit there, and he secured it for the public library. COMING with a rush! Who? The Negro. The most skeptical would have found much to convince them that beneath the heart throbs and achings caused by the white man's oppression and prejudice, there is a solid foundation for future race building had they attended the celebration of Emaucipation Day in Atchison Monday. It was a holiday for the good people of Atchison, and right well did the twelve hundred Negroes who assembled at Forest Park enjoy the magnificent weather and the boundlessly sumptuous repast. Long before the hour set for the J. H. DR. W. H. HUDSON. parade, the rolling of the drums and the shrill piping of the fifes, drew an ever increasing crowd to the True Eleven hall. The ever present committee held up the new comers and mysteriously disappeared with overflowing baskets of those things that tickle the gustatory nerves and raises riot with the small intestines. But of eating later on. It was eleven o'clock when Dr. W. H. Hudson (who is the whole cheese) in the museum, and is by Foss, a modern Italian sculptor of considerable note. It was unpacked yesterday and is now on exhibition in the art room of the library. The couch upon which the statue reclines is about eighteen inches in height and about three feet in length. The work is such a perfect mutation that it at a distance of ten feet the broached hangings and cushions cannot be distinguished from the real. The statue itself is about two feet in length and is a superb work of art. "Mr. and Mrs. Walder have also donated to the library a splendid collection of China picked up during their trip abroad. This latter will not be on exhibition for some time, as it is only partially unpacked." If this is not sufficient to prove to any fair minded person that the intention of this egotistical gentleman is to try to deceive the people and have them call him great, then we don't know what deception is. Who will say this is honest when a man will permit his name to go before the public uncontradicted as a benefactor or donor when he only loaned this statue to the library? If you will take time and visit the art room of this institution, you will see a card displayed in front of the "donated" statue containing the following inscription: "Loaned by Mr. and Mrs. E. Wilder." There are not fifty people who read the article in The Daily Capital on this pretended gift who do not believe he donated it to the public. The only way to account for this generous loan and the placing of the statue is on account of it being subject to the "free list" if sent as the property of institutions subject to such privileges. Does the transaction look straight to an honest man? Yet we call him great! Did Ed. Wilder purchase these things for his personal benefit and use this means of getting them here? Study the transaction carefully and decide for yourself. The purpose of this article is to warn all hypocrites to refrain from trying to fool the public with false pretense. Let your light shine Bro. Wilder, saith the good book, and keep it from under a half bushel, if formed the line for the street parade. The procession was headed by Grimes Post, No. 236—old veterans of the Civil War, who painfully kept time to the rat-a-tat of the post drum corps. Following close upon the heels of the old veterans, marched two hundred little boys and girls all neatly and tastefully dressed. The little girls in white dresses and pink sashes presented a very pleasing appearance, while the boys were equally "fair to look upon" because of their manifestation of bouyant life and suppressed energy. Behind the school children, marched the male members of the True Eleven. The parade was witnessed by a large number of people filling the walks all the way from the hall to the corner of Nineth and Commercial streets, where the cars were standing to convey all to the park. The ride seems to have prepared the appetites of both old and young for the barbacue. Out under the trees, just taking on the varied hues of autumn, stretching away until its farther end was lost in a pile of bursting baskets, the tables were laid upon the green grass. All the night before men had labored barbacuing beef and pork, while countless chickens had been sacrificed, and hundreds of pies, cakes, loaves of bread, jars of jelly, pickels, etc., were prepared by loving mothers and sisters. All these were piled upon the ground in orderly confusion. Such a feast! Beside it the famed feast of the Pagan, king of Babylon becomes the measly hand-out of a "hobo." Twelve hundred people eating at once, and not a knife or fork is a spectacle not seen every day; not even in Kansas, the home of surprises. Grace was said by the Ievv. Dr. Sinus, of the Shiloh Baptist church, and twenty four hundred hands made a grab for the nearest piece of barbacued meat. It was a sight, which once seen is never forgotten. It was the evidence of generosity. One hundred and twenty baskets of cake, pie, fried chicken, pickels and a half dozen large tubs of bread—all in a year when Kansas has suffered from the severest drouth known in many years. It was a happy throng that gathered around the festal board. In all this motly Concluded on Page 2. you don't THE PLAINDEALER will turn it up for you. Bro. Wilder, please tell the public by what authority do you dictate the curtier policy of this library when Gov. Stanley, and Mr. Barker, speaker of the house, are members of the board. You have never consulted either of the gentlemen as to how you should conduct this institution. You have held the reigns so long, allowed to have your way, that you deem it unwise to consult other members of the board. You employ and discharge people at your will and without consulting your superiors. It is reported that you discharged an old and deserving widow, while she was sick in bed, who had been for years a faithful employee of the library, and without sufficient notice that she might seek a position elsewhere and for no other reason than to employ one of your favorites, a relative of course. Please explain, the public desires to know about this. In ordering us out of your office and saying all your time belonged to the Santa Fe, tell us how you take the time from your employers to look after the beautifying of parks, education of our children, president of the library, president and treasurer of the Edison company and God only knows what else, and yet you had no time to spare us to talk about the library, telling us to meet you on the street. You had better resign the position you hold for the public or the one with the Santa Fe, for the public demands a portion of your time as you agreed to give in consenting to be their servant. Pay or no pay, you should serve the public honestly and faithfully as you agreed to do. "The sceptre shall not depart from Judah until Shiloh comes, nor the law-giver from between his feet, and then shall the gathering of the people be." MANAGER. The Attempt to Assassinate President William McKinley—An Article well worth your Reading-By W. B. Townsend, formerly of Kansas COMMENTING on the assassination of President McKinley, we clip the following from the Pueblo (Colo.) Tribune-Press, which is worthy of consideration. The article was written before the death of the president by Hon. W. B. Townsend, formerly of Leavenworth but now a citizen of Pueblo: "As a citizen of this country and have observed during the past twenty-five years the growing disposition on the part of a certain element in this country to violate the laws and to murder our chosen rulers, I cannot refrain from expressing my views concerning that lawless element HON. W. B. TOWNSEND. which was represented in the dastardly attempt upon the life of President McKinley. "That the shooting of the president was premediated, deliberate, cold-blooded and without the least provathizers of the would-be assassin can deny. The attack upon the life of the president can be accounted for in two ways, that this country is too lax in its immigration laws which allows the excrerescence of Europe to come to our country; and here before they have become naturalized they are permitted to take a part in shaping the policy of this government with their ballots. This I believe is wrong, I think that our immigration laws should be tightened up or made stricter, s that all foreigners be required to present a satisfactory certificate of good character from their home government before they should be allowed to land upon American soil, because this country has long since been the dumping ground for the undesirable and lawless element of other nations CAN'T BE DENIED. The following article recently appeared in an edition of the Omaha World-Herald, and is worthy of the space given it. Editor Hitchcock, though a Democrat, never hesitates to give the colored man the honor due him, as his article will prove: James Benjamin Parker is a name unknown before the occurrence of the awful deed at Buffalo. It is borne by a man worthily walking in the humble paths of life. He is a member of a race that endured centuries of wrongs and earned the bread of others by the stripes on its back cut by the cruel lash. Its lot was cast in slavery, poverty, ignorance and shame. Long-fellow sang his sweetest songs about the "Slave in the Dismal Swamp" and the "poor, blind Sauson in this land." Whittier wrote of its hopes and tears. Phillips, grand in his eloquence, denounced its wrongs. Lovejoy gave his life to rescue it from bondage; John Brown walked to the scaffold with the dignity of a Roman to show its blood is the same as ours; Lincoln broke its chains to prove the slave is a man created in the image of God. And the little black boy of the south said to the soldier, Howard, "Tell 'em, massa' we're risin'." Though it groaned in boudage, its families, treated as merchandise, torn from each others arms and affections, it never raised its hand to destroy this nation's life. Its prayers ascended to heaven for deliverance, and the "God who ruled over Babylon" answered in the desolating years of civil war. It has been loyal to our institutions. In the blue uniform of the union soldiers there were thousands of dark faces. No black skin has cov- NUMBER 38 Then the other reason for the wanton attack is, that this is the freest government on earth, here as no where else can political demagogues, under the pretense of political freedom, go about from month to month speaking disrespectfully of our rulers and our laws and our view of government and deliberately organize and educate a portion of the people to murder our presidents and revolutionize the government, as the remedy for any fancied wrong or fault they may have against our governmental policy. "Cau it be denied that Guiteau, the murderer of President Garfield and Czolgosz were not pupils of the school where is taught Populism, socialism, communism, nihilism, anarchy and damphoolism? Schools and organizations which have for the chief object the destruction of life and property if their peruicious political doctrines cannot prevail. This red handed demon of anarchy has been encouraged by unscruplus politicians on the one hand and by omissions to check them on the other hand until liberty has been taken for license to commit crime. "Today the life of no man in authority, from president down to and including the mayor of our city governments are safe from the murderous attack of the enemies of good government. Congress must act on this matter, not only on the laws of immigration, but must give the people some wholesome legislation on the subject by giving to the United States courts jurisdiction to punish any one for desementing anarchy in any form and to provide for the disrupting and uprooting of any and every society which has for its purpose opposition to the general government and the destruction of life and property. If some such radical measures as these are not formulated into laws and firmly executed, then we may as well turn our government over to the lawless elements and let them manage it, by so doing we will be spared the pain of having not only presidents and members of their cabinets assassinated, but senators and representatives who dare express their convictions in the halls of congress upon a subject contrary to the ideas and belief of these anarchistic political organizations in our midst. Let congress do its whole duty if it would strike the venomous thing the blow that would crash its strength and growth in this country. creed the form of a traitor nor an assassin on American soil. The black man has ever been a patrist. He gave his life freely that this nation might live. He has stood for law and order under barbarous and unjust treatment, asking only the protection and administering of the laws. Forty years ago they were a race of slaves. Their condition was deplorable. Only one of their leaders could gain a respectful hearing from the white man. Eloquently Frederick Douglass plead to "let my people go free," like the Israelite of old, working mighty signs and wonders. But only until after the angel of the Lord had passed over us, when we, like the Egyptians, were weeping for our children slain in battle, was he answered. The spirit of the man broke the mental darkness of the slave. "We're rian," said the little black boy, and the race has made a progress since its emancipation that has no equate in the records of civilized nations. In thirty-eight years it has given men like Douglass, Revels, Bruce, Small, Lynch, Turner and others of less renown. It has adorned the professions, the sciences and the arts. It has contributed a great educator to the world in the person of Booker T. Washington. In the tragedy of last Friday it has contributed James Benjamin Parker, the humble, but heroic man, whose courage and intelligence will place him forever high in the regard of the American people for saving the life of their resident. No matter what his future may be, James Benjamin Parker has done a deed that is honored and applauded by the world, and white man and black man will alike play claim to him for his splendid bravery and the love and devotion he has shown to this government in striking down the armed assassin whose bullets were aimed at the president of this republic. TIME TO SAVE. Organizations designed to inculcate principles of economy, saving and accumulation are not numerous among our people. But, as a people grow away from conditions that have operated to retard their growth and development, such institutions are demanded by the very nature of things. As an evidence of the growth of new ideas of life among Negroes, one finds the efforts to organize savings institutions and the teaching of frugality and thrift begin to take the place of less important efforts. That the Negro is coming and that with no small degree of rapidity, to appreciate the necessity for farming and developing habits of saving is seen in the spasmodic efforts made in this direction. The signal success that has come to the order of the True Reformers in Virginia is a beacon light to the race. The history of their bank in Richmond, Va., during the great panic of 1892 is well known. When all banking and financial institutions of Richmond were tottering through fear and lack of gold to meet the trade demands, the Negro bank came forward and relieved the city and saved the credit of the wealthiest city of Virginia. The members of this order are the humble and meek of our race. Those who toil day and night with their hands that their children may be fed and educated. Kansas cannot remain behind other states. We have in the True Eleven society the units of a great organization. Composed of the middle class of our people it has gone forward to merited success. Eliminating unnecessary expenses, and reducing the fees of grand officers, this small organization has set an example of saving worthy of emulation. Organized less than seven years ago, it now owns a public hall, valued at six thousand dollars and has personal property worth more than two thousand. It also owns lands used for farming purposes. It seeks to find employment for its members, and helps to sustain those who engage in business. And at the same time teaching that the race interests are identical and that all Negroes should stand together, "all for one and one for all." Truly this society is worth fostering. Gov. Stanley has shown remarkable wisdom in many things he has done during his term. But his ignoring of the Negro in the matter of appointing commissioners to the St. Louis Exposition, we regard as a political blunder. The Negro has contributed his share, along with other classes of Kansans to the material, moral and political well being of Kansas. If, as has been hinted, places on this commission are to be given out in exchange for votes in the coming senatorial contest, we are inclined to the opinion that the Kansas Negro will have a hand in the naming of the next U. S. Senator, and it is worth while to give him consideration. A little cunningness (?) and burnt cork has been the cause of many an innocent Negro being mobbed. Now that sentiment has dominated to such an extent as to allow blood hounds to hunt down the party guilty of an assault, we hope that Judge Lynch will fall in line and act accordingly. When an assault is committed, put on trail from the place of deed a few hounds, and a great revelation will no doubt be the result. How easy it has been to announce "he confessed his guilt" when nine times out of ten, the Negro was not given the opportunity to "confess" or cry "innocent." No matter whether the offense is committed in the darkness or in the light, the victim never fails to "identify" the poor defenseless Negro, even if he be a stranger and she never saw him before. He is a Negro and that is evidence prima facie that he is worthless. There are whites just as worthless as the lowest blacks who are never given consideration. This plea that "all coons look alike" is folly and is the out-come of prejudice pure and simple. As evidence of this fact, we have only to direct your attention to what might have been a "lynching bee" in Wichita only a few days ago. Had the hounds failed to run down this inhuman white wretch, it is quite probable that an innocent Negro would have been summoned by Judge Lynch to account for his actions. Mob violence is the deed of an enraged class—hoodlums—who know nothing of reason. And, again, it is probable that this "burly monster," who attempted to hide his crime with a black face, has helped maltreat Negroes for a like offense and would have been one of the first to cry out "lynch him" had a Negro been "suspected." God deliver us from such intolerance; it causes us to exclaim, "how long, Oh Lord, how long" must we endure such persecutions and tortures. The Virginia constitutional convention last week struck from the bill of rights the words "freedom of speech." A delegate declared that abuse of the freedom of speech had caused the death of the president, and that the words should be stricken out of the existing constitution. It is to be hoped that the convention will think better of the matter and have the words restored. Anarchy can be throttled without throttling one of man's chief perogatives. We can retain our liberties and keep down criminals at the same time. Is it possible that one James Parker has so soon passed into forgetfulness and his noble deed no longer remembered by the good American people? Has the public forgotten this noble, loyal Negro who so fearlessly saved the president from an untimely murder? To this loyal citizen is due more credit than is accorded him. The nation knew of him yesterday but forgets him today. In all the eulogies tendered out-of-respect to our deceased president, not one speaker has referred to the heoric action of Parker. Though worthless as he may appear in The sooner Czolgosz passes out of sight and print the better it will be for the country. The Negroes should get closer together; help each other in their undertakings. Stand. for what is right and condemn what is wrong. Believing that Czolgosz will be electrocuted, one thousand applications have been made by telegraph and mail to Warden Meade to witness the execution. President Roosevelt has the distinction of being the youngest man who ever held the office of chief magistrate of the United States. He will be 43 years old the seventeenth of next month. Of the many charges that have been and are now being made against the Negro, it can be said in his behalf that no black skin ever covered the form of a traitor or an assassin in America. He is a patriot ever true and loyal to his country. There is a term frequently used that causes a Negro to feel bad at times, and that term eminates mos. freely from the lips of those who dislike it most. What we have reference to is the word "nigger," which invariably is used foo freely by the Negro in speaking to or of a contemporary. It pains you to have a white man call you "nigger" and at the same time you use the term almost continually when talking. Begin at home and cease using the word, and then don't use it on the streets and the opposite race will not delight in using it to such an extent. Call your friend by his name; don't say "hello nigger." First learn to respect yourself and then others will respect you. "Slick" Slater, who attempted assault on Miss Gerberik last February on the Lincoln school grounds, has been given the limit—10½ years, and has been conveyed to the pen where he will have an opportunity to repent of his sins. It is said that had he not been spirited away to Atchison that he would have been mobbed, which causes a question of doubt as to the sincerity of that mob. If the people were so enraged why did they allow that spirit of anger to die, knowing him to be the guilty demon? Would this man ever had a chance to plead guilty had he been a Negro? No; the mob would have reaped vengeance. We do not approve of capital punishment; but in this case an addition of about 10½ feet of rope wouldn't hurt "Slick." A halt was called in the memorial services at Ft. Scott last Friday long enough to see that an old itinerate colored preacher was assisted in ingfind his way out of the city. The minds of the people were taken from the lamented president to pay respects to the man of color, who was requested to perform the "walk away" without prolonged ceremony. It was reported that he had made some slight remark in regard to the occasion and was forthwith waited upon. We don't approve of men expressing themselves abruptly at all times, nor do we believe in taking exceptions to every word that is uttered by men. We have heard some expressions made that we dare not repeat; the only thought given them was that of ignorance. Remember a silent tongue makes a wise head.

It was 3.30 p. m., when Chairman Hudson stood before a crowded audience at the pavilion, and asked them to listen to a word of prayer by Rev. Dr. Sims, who asked God's blessing upon the race in a fervent and eloquent appeal. Rev. Dr. B. F. Boyle, of the First Presbyterian church, was introduced as the representative of Mayor Orr, who was unable to be present. He extended a candid welcome to the visitors and friends. In speaking to the people Dr. Boyle said that he was not a war made abolitionist, but was born one. He long desired the freedom of the Negro, and along with his relatives and friends, fought that the race might be free and the government at Washington live. The Old Negro is all right. He has been tried and can be trusted. At the call of the nation thousands of them picked up the musket and fought for liberty—this liberty the race now enjoys. The young Negro does not appreciate and understand the cost of his freedom. The young Negroes must be taught to know the duties and responsibilities of freedom, and to take up the burden and solve this problem of the races. The progress of the race is remarkable, but the problem has not yet been solved and it will require many years of earnest toil for the Negro to win his place. Prof. E. B. Branch, of Wathena, was introduced to respond to the address of welcome. Prof. Branch is one of the young educators of Kansas, and is destined to make his mark in the world, along toward the top. Born in Virginia and educated at Howard University, Washington, D. C., Prof. Branch was well prepared to ably respond to the hearty welcome. His remarks were eloquently delivered and were re received with applause. He said in part: "This is a glorious day to celebrate. It brings up memories that our boys and girls should know. We come today that we may review the past and prepare for the future." He then reviewed the history of the Negro in America, paying especial tribute to the noble qualities of the race as soldiers seen in the records of the wars from Boston Common to San Juan Hill. He urged the necessity of stopping the burning and lynching of Negroes. We can and must do our share by practicing and inculcating principles of honesty, correct living and self-respect. He closed his address with a glowing tribute to our late president, William McKinley. Capt. Wm. Porter, commander of Grimes Post No. 236, was introduced, Capt. Porter is a grizzled old vetran, who served his country in its darkest hours. He confined his brief remarks to the record of the Negro soldiers and sailors. In his remarks he said that the Negro soldiers of America were the grandest body of men who ever lived.

WILLIAM QU remarks. He deplored the idea that there was no hope for the future of race. On all sides he said he could see multiplying evidences of the Negro rising. At the close of the exercises all scattered about the grounds to enjoy the sunshine and shadow. It would be a great mistake not to speak of the excellent singing by a chorus of boys and girls under the direction of Mrs. Ida Mosley and Mrs. Roberts. Their rendition of patriotic songs was good and merited the applause received. At True Eleven hall at 8.15, every seat was taken. It was rather late, and the crowd had manifested their impatience in many ways, before the Supreme Chief called the meeting to order and asked the True Eleven Choir to sing. Such was the opening of the culminating event to a day of rejoicing. The day had been spent at the park rejoicing that liberty had come to the enslaved. The night was to be spent in rejoicing that the time had come when there was tangible evidence of the Negro's entrance into business. There was eager, suppressed joy in the bent forms and sunken eyes of the aged Negroes, who had borne the burden in the heat of the day. The long expected had come. Less than ten years ago Dr. W. H. Hudson of Atchison organized a few Negroes together to be known as the True Eleven. Its principle was to teach race pride. To do those things which would redound to the good of the race. To labor to break down the petty jealousies, and bring the race to a higher plane. With but a handful of people this order has gone on to success. Mr. Mumford acting as master of ceremonies, presented Dr. Hudson, the Supreme Chief of the True Eleven Imperium, who gave a review of the order since its inception. He said there had been no effort to establish branches in other places, because it was his desire to go before the world with something tangible accomplished. He reported that the last dollar amounting to $737.47, had been paid to the party from whom they purchased their lots and he held in his hand the mortgage released. He handed the various papers to Editor J. H. Childers, who read them. At the conclusion of the reading a roar of applause swept over the hall and for a moment only the splendid order maintained at True Eleven hall gave away and pandemonium reigned. Old people shouted and leaped for joy. Some cried, others laughed, while the children becoming infected with the evidences of joy on all sides began to dance. Special remarks were made by Messrs. King, Clay Lisle, Prof. Branch and other members of the order. The program of the evening was concluded by Editor Childers, who reviewed the work of the society. It was no small compliment, he said, "to be called upon to address an audience who had in less than seven years, in the face of hard times, panic and obstructions, raised and paid out over eight thousand dollars. Especially when the members were enjoying the princely income of less than a dollar a day as an average. The purchasing of a splendid piece of property and paying every dollar QUINDARO, KAS of the purchase money, was an evidence of racial ability of which we can be proud. The work of Dr. Hudson, who has labored so hard to win this victory much should be said. His love for his people is shown in his fidelity to all their trusts imposed on him. That the order he has founded will live and flourish is the hope of this paper. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THIS? Wichita, Kas., Sept. 18—The man who assaulted Mrs. Waddell Monday night was caught today by the bloodhounds, and proved to be a white man blacked with burnt cork, and not a Negro. The above paragraph was clipped from the telegraph news of the Topeka State Journal. It is a condensation of one of the great stories of Negro depravity, that came out in a former edition and fades away before the light of facts. It proves, beyond a doubt that a little burnt cork hides a multitude of sins, and sends more Negroes to the stake and up a tree than the inhuman crimes of a few worthless blacks. The Negroes are so often charged with crimes of this nature that the world regards later developments as evidence of an immoral degeneracy on the part of the guilty whites that it served as an excuse for the brutal act. THE PLAIN-DEALER has held all along that if proper safeguards were thrown about Negro prisoners charged with the brutal and inhuman crime of rape, and the case was carefully investigated, more burnt cork would be washed off and more white degenerator would be uncovered than the world has the nerve to believe. The Negro is not the only inhuman monster, and don't you forget it. When a crime of this nature is committed, how quick the report is spread by the associated press and the journals give more prominence to the headlines of such sensations than any other topic. But when the truth comes, how they retract. Such was the case with the State Journal in this instance. THE.....
