TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. If Ed. Wilder Desires to Be Great, He Should Inform the Waiting Public as toWhether or Not the "Free List" Was Used in Getting His Statuary Here! Historical Society State House It Feels as Regards the President Entertaining Booker T. Washington at the White House. Roosevelt has entertained T. As a result a rip- indignation, and up from the South the damned. From mingled commendation. The an- President Roosevelt often that the Negro back door, and had the president as an official and not a social matter, and therefore has no criticism to make in the present instance." Kansas papers reflect the sentiment of the Kansas people. The action of President Roosevelt in entertaining Booker T. Washington at dinner a few days ago was the subject of special mention by Rev. Chas. M. Sheldon to his congregation on Sunday night. He spoke in glowing terms of the act and characterized it as a mark of true greatness in the President. He spoke of his own meeting with Mr. Washington and of the intelligence and nobility of the man and said: "I would feel honored to have him dine at my table." Kansas politicians are very much interested in the outcome of the event and to an Evening Herald reporter, they expressed themselves as follows: "If President Roosevelt's action was in the nature of a trick," said Governor Stanley, "it was the very cheapest sort of a political trick and one he would hardly seem capable of. However, I do not believe that it was done as a trick. Roosevelt is recognized as a very independent sort of a fellow and one who is apt to do about what he wants to. If he entertained Washington for the purpose of showing the country that he regarded Washington as the head of the Negro race in America it was a very nice thing to do. I do not know what effect his action will have in the west." State Treasurer Frank Grimes had the following to say on the subject: "I can not see that Roosevelt has done anything wrong. This is something different from what other Presidents have done and something different from what we would have looked for in President McKinley but it will have no bad effects in Kansas. I believe that it will result in good here, as it will show the Negroes of this state that the President is not above recognizing one of their race. They and the fair minded persons in this state will look upon his action as a proper one." Rev. W. E. Helm at the Shiloh Baptist church, speaking of the incident, said: "There seems to be much adverse comment upon the act of President Roosevelt in dining with Prof. Booker T. Washington. The President is an American citizen and as an American citizen has the right to invite to his table any one whom he may choose to extend the honor. Booker T. Washington is an American citizen regardless of his color; a leader of the Negro race, a peerless educator, and has the same right as an American citizen to receive honors from the chief executive of the nation as any other American citizen." Another incident will occur this week to cause further agitation to the southerners. Along with President Roosevelt, Mr. Washington is being entertained at Yale college, where the degree of doctor of laws will be conferred upon both. And as if to show how completely the hand of fate is guiding events, the President and his distinguished Negro advisor have been invited to dine together, Mr. Washington is the guest of Prof. John Christopher Schwab of Yale, the author of a history of the confederacy and a southern gentleman. Kirk Pinkston, speaking of the matter, says: "President Roosevelt touches the cord and the bell rings throughout the south, giving him a slight idea how to treat Negroes. Regardless to their loyalty to the stars and stripes of a country that has given birth to eight millions of oppressed citizens, caused by those whom so bitterly opposed to see a Negro dining with the head of this great civilized Christian nation. Regardless to his qualifications, if a man like Booker T. Washington is sit down on there is no inducement for us to proceed to a higher standard of life in this country. I also commend those gentlemen who spoke their sentiments so freely, for it was in their merry hearts, given us a reason to believe that the same dream still remains in VOLUME III. President Roosevelt has entertained a Negro at dinner. As a result a ripple of excitement, Indignation, and protest has come up from the South like the wall of the damned. From the North comes mingled commendations and condemnation. The announcement that President Roosevelt had so far forgotten that the Negro belonged at the back door, and had invited one of the most distinguished citizens of America, a Negro, to dine with him, caused as much astonishment among Negroes as among whites. The long continued narrowminded, prejudiced policy of Americans, has come to be accepted as a matter of course among Negroes and the least deviation from this course, is sufficient to cause astonishment. Negroes view the incident in different lights. All however regard it as the beginning of a new epoch in the races' history. The public recognition of a Negro like Washington places a premium upon sterling Negro manhood, that is bound to inspire thousands of Negroes to take higher grounds. The race regards the dinner incident at Washington as the recognition of the man, and not as indicating a disposition on the part of President Roosevelt to break down the foolish social customs of the American people. President Roosevelt is a man of independence, who has a faculty of doing that which pleases him, and it should not be assumed that entertaining Negroes to tea will form a part of Mrs. Roosevelt's duties every week in the year. The comment of the people is varied and show how completely the American people are influenced by prejudices. There are some people, however, so coarse in their moral, and mental and physical natures that vulgarism with them are mistaken for argument. This is especially true of Senator "Pitchfork" Tillman, who represents South Carolina in the upper house of our national congress. When interviewed at Fort Scott, Kansas, regarding the incident he said. "President Roosevelt has an absolute right to eat with any man he may choose to invite. He also has the right to have colored men and women call on Mrs. Roosevelt and dine with the family. He has the right to have his children associate with negro children and in time to become himself grandfather of a mulatto. All of these 'rights' are on all fours. The obligation of the color line in case carries with it the possibility of all the others. It is a natural sequence. If it is the purpose of the president to solve the race question this way he is welcome to enter upon it, but millions of American men and women of the north and all the whites who live in the south will leave him severely alone in his new found role and take care we do not become a race of mongrels." The above remarks tell the story of the great bugaboo of mescegination that Southern prostitutes of Negro womanhood have held up before this nation since Lincoln signed the Emancipation proclamation. There is not the remotest probability that the colored gentleman who might be honored by an invitation to dine with President Roosevelt or any other gentleman's family, will so far forget themselves, as to presume upon the social customs. But the same cannot be said of the Southern gentleman, who force their illicit relations up innocent Negro women without regard for public feelings in the matter. We advise Senator Tillman to take a look about his state, and see what a lovely rainbow like population his friend has succeeded, in making out of the coal black African. Here is what some papers are saying. The Richmond News says: "At one stroke and by one act he has destroyed the kindly warm regard and personal affection for him which were growing up fast in the south. Hereafter we may approve his policies and admire his qualities, but it will be impossible for us to feel as we were beginning to feel, that he is one of us and close to us, or our president. He has put himself further from us than any man who has ever been in the white house." Louisana takes the matter hard. Here are views the views of two New Orleans papers: The New Orleans Daily Item, the only Republican paper in the city, says: "The Item does not believe that the courtesy shown Booker Washington by the president is an attempt to break down the barriers that society has erected between the races." The New Orleans Picayune says: "The Picayune regards this act on the part of TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCT.25, 1901 The Mere Fact of President Roosevelt Dining with Booker T. Washington will not satisfy the ten million Negroes in the South who are hungry and thirsting for equality before the law. The appointment of Democrats to places which could be filled by good Republicans will not make up for Booker's little meal at the White House. We admire the President in his courageous experiment in dining with a Negro at the Executive Mansion, for it was equal to going up San Juan Hill "before the American white man." Let the President take a step farther to secure equality before the law and at the ballot box. If a Negro is given an appointment, see that he is protected.—Manager. the bosom of the so-called Negroes friend. President Roosevelt's idea was to set a pace. Charity begins at home. Not that he has so much love for Booker T. Washington or his race, he did so to bring about harmony between the two races, which, in my judgment, will have to come soon. I am a fireman, serving under one of the best and most successful fire chiefs of this country, and his motto is not to send his men where he wont go himself. His word is come on, boys. He sets the pace and the men all love him. Every thing is new at first: Let each Governor of a state follow the footsteps of President Roosevelt, and they will give us the finest country on earth within a year. May God rest and stand watch over our executive head of this nation and see that he is in no way harmed, for eating dinner with a leader of a race with a population of eight millions." Booker T. Washington, a negro, recently dined with President Roosevelt. Washington is one of the brightest men this age has produced, and his advice to negroes is so full of common sense that he may be regarded as a very useful man. The proud Southrons may sniff, but Roosevelt did nothing out of the way. Prominent men all over the country take pride in honoring Booker T. Washington. He is a severe critic of the leafing, singing, cake walking, banjo picking negro. He advises the negro to make themselves respected by industry and worthy conduct. Booker T. Washington never goes where he is not wanted, and has been invited to dine with the President.—Atchison Globe. The Mere H Dining the ten million thirsting for eq Democrats to pl cans will not m House. We ad ment in dining w was equal to g white man." I equality before given an appoint INDICATES BETTER FEELING. In having Prof. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee, dine with him, President Roosevelt has done more towards eliminating race prejudice than any of his predecessors ever attempted, and in so doing he gives a great push to the entire Negro race in this country. But the real honor came in the consultation as to the best policy to pursue on the Great Southern Question, held between the president and Booker T. Washington quite recently, and the result thereafter. In the former, we behold the Negro race was recognized intellectually, in the latter socially, by the highest in the land. In the days of Louis XIV., of France, it was considered one of the highest honors to dine with king. Let us hope this, at least, indicates a better feeling between the two great races.—St. Louis American Eagle. WE HOPE SO. If President will see to it that the colored people of the South get a fair show in the race for life, at least as far as it lies in his power, we are very sure the colored people will be very grateful to him whether they get many offices or not.—Baltimore Afro-American. Not Like Eddie Wilder This man gives to the City Library. He did not loan these books. We would like for Edward Wilder to explain how he came to loan the statue and porcelain china and allow the notice in the daily papers go uncontradicted that he gave them. Below is a list of donators who are furnishing books out of a subscribed fund for this institution. Shortly after the demise of Mrs. John R. Mulvane, Mr. Mulvane advised the president of the public library of his intention to create a permanent book fund in her memory. The excellent purpose was afterward accomplished by turning over to the library board $1,800 of mortgage notes bearing 7 per cent interest. The income from this fund, $126 a year, will provide for the purchase of from seven to ten books every month for all future time. From the above one can glean a few facts as to how the Public Library is run. The public would be glad tohon-or either one or all of tae above named persons to go abroad and return with marble statues and porcelain china on the free list, if asked by the board of the library. Let Mr. Eddy Wilder explain to the public if he used the free list? This question was asked some time ago, let him speak, the public wants to know. If it was some poor man the daily papers never would let up on him. Let justice be done. If The Fact of President Roosevelt going with Booker T.

Paul Bray's Budget. The Roosevelt-Washington dinner, which is being so much talked about, has national Importance only so far as it is made so by the violent attacks made upon President Roosevelt by the Southern papers and prominent men—and no more. The sentiments expressed, and not the dinner, are important, in that they give unmistakable evidence of the intense hatred of the South: toward the Negro, without regard to his worth and high character. It is as clear as the noon-day sun that no conciliatory policy or scheme of any Republican President can ever break up the solid South so long as he insists on recognizing the Negro as a man, a gentleman and a citizen. The Southern people, or people of any other section, ought to have sense enough to know, if they do not, that the President is master of his household, and anyone who, publicly, assails him for entertaining whomsoever he chooses, in the privacy of his home, is a fool or a coward. No sensible Negro will regard the entertainment of Booker Washington, by the President, as a spectil honor to his race, or as an indication that the President intends to, or does, accord the Negro, "social equality," neither should any Can casian take exception to his act. Booker Washington is, in the eyes of the world, one of the greatest men the South has today. The Southern people have said so, time and time again. They have proclaimed him to the world as their ideal citizen and the foremost man of his race. Following his Atlanta address, the entire Southern Press sang loud and long the praises of the man. The vocabulary of our language was too limited to express their high estimate of him. He was lionized throughout the Southland; invited to address/Legislatures in joint assembly, consulted on all public questions affecting the section in which he lived. Their confidence and faith in him, from all appearances, have been of the most positive quality. Few men, and certainly no other Negro, have ever been so highly esteemed by the Southern people. President Roosevelt evidently places a like estimate upon him. Since it is proper and customary for a wise President to consult with this class of American citizens, it explains why the Present called Mr. Washington from his home in Alabama to the White House to confer with him concerning important matters affecting the South. The dinner was a trifling incident of this conference and a courtesy, which has been extended to many other prominent men since Mr. Roosevelt has been President. The honor of dining with the President was a compliment to Mr. Washington. The latter's coming by request and entertained while here was a private matter into which no one has a right to meddle. will not satisfy are hungry and appointment of good Republi- al at the White marageous experi- . Mansion, for it are the American rather to secure If a Negro is —Manager. We admire the President's courage (in view of the censure and condemnation that was sure to follow from those who are saturated with race prejudice), in extending the usual courtesy to a gentleman regardless of his race or color. The bitter attacks on President Roosevelt and the hissing at his picture by an audience in Richmond, Va., because of this incident, is not only inconsistent with the former attitude of the South toward Mr. Washington, but mean and contemptable and a reflection upon the American people. It is the right and privilege of every man to select his own guest and surely the President cannot be denied this right and privilege. The United Supreme Council, A. A. S. Rite, for the Southern and Western Jurisdiction, is in annual session here this week. This, together with the jewel contest between the Blue Lodges, wl. make things lively for the craft. To the Editor of the Topeka Plain dealer: We would like to give notice through the columns of your paper of the 11th annual meeting of the Interstate Literary, which will convene in Kansas City, Kans., in the latter part of December. It is hoped that all societies heretofore represented will send full delegations and that new societies in Kansas Missouri, Nebraska, and the west will become interested and send delegates. Any regularly organized literary so cety, reading or art club is entitled to membership. The membership fee is one dollar and fifty cents for new societies and one dollar for old so ceties.

Missouri Takes Up the Burden The Womens' Clubs and the Color Line Seem to Be the Leading Topic With the Ladies of our Sister State. The women question is one of interesting question. What to do with the Negro women and her clubs is giving the National Federation of Clubs no end of trouble. At the last meeting the delegates sought to evade the responsibility of disposing of this question by referring it to the state federations for settlement. Just now the state federations are grappling with this question, and having more fun than a box of monkeys. Over in old Missouri much interest is manifest in the question because of the early meeting of the state federation. We take pleasure in publishing the following discussion of the question appearing in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat of last Sunday, under the caption of "A Vital Issue." St. Louis, Mo., October 19.—A meeting of the Missouri federation of women's clubs is to be held a few days hence, at which some important questions in regard to the general federation are to be voted upon. One of these is an amendment proposed by Georgia, advocating that the general federation shall be composed exclusively of clubs of white women. Against this Massachusetts has protested, and offers a substitute involving a reorganization of the federation (a measure that was voted down at the last biennial), but whose main point is that each state should decide its own rues of membership by which it should be admitted into the federation. In order to clear the issue from all extraneous questions, the Wednesday club, of St. Louis, offers another substitute, and has instructed its delegates to present the following: "That cluos containing colored women should be eligible to the general federation in those states in which they are eligible to membership in the state federation." This brings the matter squarely before the house, and what is Missouri going to do about it? The question has been debated, with some warmth in most cases, in all the Missouri clubs, and now the state has to decide how she will put herself on record at the biennial to meet next June. The issue can not be avoided. Every club did its best, no doubt, to find a method of evasion, but tailed, for the situation is this: Massachusetts sent a colored delegate to the last biennial; the president of the federation is a Georgia woman; so Georgia says: "This shall not be," while Massachusetts replies: "Let each state settle the matter for itself." "No," says Georgia, "that will not do at all. Go my way, or I will secode," and the solid South, no doubt, will follow Georgia's lead. But Massachusetts will not; she declines the honor; and, if the Georgia amendment is adopted, Massachusetts, followed by New England, Ohio and Illinois, will go out. Either way there seems no choice but rupture, unless one side or the other surrenders, which is not likely, and so a federation composed of 400,000 women, who have worked in harmony heretofore, will split into a divided body of North and South. It is a great pity; and it seems strange enough that this ancient issue should come up among the women to be fought over again, and argued about with old refuted arguments, as if history were not, and its verdict, writ large and in blood on the face of the times, were visible to our eyes. But, it is said, the colored people have equal rights before the law (the burning and scourgings that are a national degradation being ignored); need we take them into our homes and marry them to our brothers and sons? Would that inevitably follow? Are they so irresistibly attractive that the bringing of a few colored delegates into a business meeting that comes together only once in two y-ars, would immediately disrupt our homes and pollute our race? It is the old argument of Douglass withered by Lincoln before the war, and one of the signal proofs of its futility lies in the fact that since the negroes were freed their color has grown blacker. However, this is but the entering wedge, says the Georgians. Mix the races here and you mix them every- NUMBER 42 where. Not at all, says the Massachusetts flick. We need not even admit them to individual clubs. These are composed of persons who move in the same social circle. 'There are thousands in town who are equal to any one of our visiting lists, no doubt, but we happen to know these and not those. We don't come in contact with them and there is no reason why they should join our clubs, be it the Wednesday or another. But when it comes to a representative meeting once in two years, of women from all over the country, few of whom ever heard of one another, it is quite a different matter. To draw the color line there, and not only that, but ior one state to draw it in spite of the protests of other states, is a step distinctly backward, a retrogression to tyranny. With the inconsistency so symptomatic of a wrong cause, the other side is there brought forward. Far from being irresistibly attractive, it is argued that negro women, especially in the black belt, are ignorant and filthy in their personal habits, and that to see them is sufficient to establish their ineligibility. Why, of course, but what has this to do with the case in hand? Arn't there millions of whitefolk with whom we would not wish to come in contact? Women who live in filthy ignorance would not be apt to form clubs, nor would they wish to join a federation, nor would they pass the scrutiny of it executive committee. No one claims that it was a person of this class that Massachusetts sent to Milwaukee. On the contrary even the most prejudiced admit that she was an educated, refined woman. So the props are knocked from under the very artificial feet of this argument. Others maintain that colored women don't care a bit about the matter; that it is simply the stubborn obstinacy of Massachusetts that insists on breaking up the federation even if she has to ramsack the state to find colored delegates. Isn't it better, they plead, that half a dozen such women should be excluded than that the good work of 400,000 women in harmony should be disturbed? To this the only answer need be, one man in the right and God make a majority. But it may be added that, while there are not half a dozen persons in a generation who become presidents the possibility that any one may, is an immense incentive. To be barred from any position whatever by so superficial and empty a matter as color is an injustice that sinks deeper and retards growth incalculably. It is our fault that the negroes are among us. They were brought here by force and kept here under cruel dures. Now, when they try to climb, is it our part as women of a Christian nation to thrust them back, saying, "Keep away! Don't touch me! I'll have none of you!" But there are those quite willing to declare plainly that they don't want colored women in the federation, because they won't have it; that the fact of color stigmatizes a race inferior and they won't associate with it; that it is a matter on which their minds are made up, and they will brook no meddling with it. Of course, to this declaration of prejudice the only answer is the declaration of principle. The minds of those on its side are made up, to, and they have buoyant support in the fact that history proclaims theirs to be the side of victory. The great lesson of not only our republic but of the French revolution has been, "All careers open to talent." Are we women of America, and its best exponents as we claim, going to throw the weight of our federated strength against those weak women, whom we, as a race to race, have cruelly wronged, and who yet have climbed painfully to our level? When they have attained against obstacle the education and refinement that we have almost been born into, shall we say even then, No; you shan't share the very best of our advantages? It is incredible. Happily, the largest and most influential club in Missouri has put itself Topeka Plaindealer.

FRIDAY, OCT. 24 1901 Senator Tillman should be careful about slandering the mulattos. It don't appear becoming to abuse your own people. Over $2,900,000 has been embezzled from the banks of the United States, since the first of last January. No Negro has been indicted. It might be wisdom to employ a few Negroes in our banks. It looks like the Kansas minister is to be cussed if he does and if he does not. This alludes to the Topeka preacher who proposed to forgive even unto seventy times seven. "MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING." The opening year of the Twentieth century seems to be full of omens of good for the Negro. The census reports show that the Negroes of the South especially are growing in numbers, in wealth and the decrease of literacy is greater than among the whites. At no time, since the stirring days of the years of civil strife, has the Negro received so much consideration at the hands of thinking men and women. The Negroes have won their place in the procession of nations and the rest of the world seems unwilling to accord it to them. Just now the question of what to do with the intelligent Negro is perplexing the American people. Intelligent, cultured and refined Negro women, are standing at the door of the National Federation of Women's Clubs, and by their womanliness, delicacy and tact are compelling the respect due them. That they will eventually be received and respected as a part of the womanhood of America none deny. During the past two weeks two of the foremost female educational institutions of America, that have heretofore been closed to Negro women, have opened their doors, and in the future our young women will have the advantage of meeting and forming friendship among the best people of the nation. It brings to the race an opportunity long desired—an opportunity for our best young women to come in contact with the brighest white women of the nation. We have every confidence in their ability to favorably impress their white sisters with their grand sense, virtue and intelligence. The entertaining of Prof. Booker T. Washington by President Roosevelt has caused more favorable and unfavorable comment in the south than all the bad legislation of the Republicans since the election of President Lincoln. There "is much ado about nothing." The dining of Mr. Washington by the President is the recognition of an intelligent Negro who has risen to a high standard of eminence by his own exertions and in the face of strong opposition. It is the recognition of a man who has exhibited qualities of statesmanship of a high order. A citizen who can cause a great mass of his fellow men to be improved in indeed and in truth a statesman and deserving of the highest regard. Mr. Washington has done all this and more. Not only has he benefited the Negro, he has by example and precept aided the benighted "crackers" and "clay eaters" in their slow efforts to reach the light of modern civilization. The Negroes of America, along with the whites should feel that the recognition of Mr. Washington by the President and by Yale college that the nation is honoring a man of merit. IS IT A BLUNDER? The national republican committee has not only made a most aggravating mistake, but also has established a dangerous precedent in appointing a gold democrat by the name of Capers a member of the national committee for South Carolina, to succeed Mr. E. A. Webster, a simon-pure republican, who died recently. President McKinley made a mistake when he appointed this same man Capers district attorney of that state. Both of these objectionable appointments were made in spite of the vigorous protests of the regular republican organization of South Carolina, at the head of which is the Hon. E. H. Deas, an Afro-American, and chairman of the state committee. The latter was a candidate to succeed Mr. Webster both as national committeeman and internal revenue collector. He was entitled to both appointments because of long and active service in behalf of the party. Col. Deas carries to this day many scars inflicted by democrats because of his aggressive republicanism. when a candidate for congress some years ago he was nearly killed while making a republican speech. President Roosevelt seems to be following in the steps of the national committee and President McKinley as far as their southern policy—recognizing democrats in preference to either white or black republicans—is concerned. It is not only a crying shame but an outrage that the loyal Afro-American republicans of the north and south will not quietly submit to. Let our brave and manly leaders convene at an early date and send a half dozen of their most fearless representatives to the White House for the purpose of making the president see, if possible, the proper course to pursue rather than continuing the mistaken and unfortunate southern policy born during the closing years of the McKinley administration. Thousands of Afro-Americans are daily leaving the ranks of the republican party here in the north because of entirely too much of such treatment at the hands of republican leaders in national and local politics. Let our press and pulpit speak out in strong and unmistaken terms, and continue to do so until there comes the proper change.—The Cleveland Gazette. VERY FOOLISH TALK. The Wellsley college authorities deny the truth of the story which is ging the rounds that the color line has been drawn against Miss Portia Washington, daughter of Booker T. Washington. The story, it seems, arose from the fact that Miss Washington could not find accommodation in the college yard. A room for Miss Washington has been secured in the house of Mrs. Bryo in the village. Misses Coman, Bates, Balch, all professors in the college, live directly opposite Mrs. Bryo's and they, with Prof. Keys who lives at Mrs. Bryo's, take their meals together. Miss Washington entered the college as a special student, taking piano theory and modern language. As a special student, she is not actually entitled to rooms in the college yard. Many of the students at the college were among her classmates during her three years at the Framingham school. She was one of the guests invited to attend the sophomore reception, one of the events of the college year. There is another Afro-American young woman in the college, Miss Charlotte A. Atwood who lives within the college grounds in Stone Hall. She is in her third year, she eats at the same table with the other girls and is looked upon as a good fellow by them.—The Appeal. If Mr. Washington had been consistent with the theories he promulgated when talking to the white folks he would have educated his daughter at Tuskegee instead of sending her up among the Massachusetts white folks and the same theories would compel him to have her well drilled in scouring, cooking, and washing instead of piano playing and modern languages. —Pine Bluff, Ark., Herald.

Along on the heels of President Roosevelt's entertainment of Booker T. Washington, his announcement of a new policy toward negroes, a number of incidents have occured to indicate the disposition of public sentiment to get into the presidential band wagon. We take the following incident as "straws telling the direction of the wind:" Chicago, Oct. 13.—For the first time in the history of Northwestern university a colored girl has been admitted as a student boarder in one of the dormitories for young women. She secured accommodations in Chapin hall only after a prolonged discussion between the members of the Woman's Educational Aid association, which has charge of the dormitories. The members were divided as to the advisability of admitting the young woman, for they knew that their action would set a precedent for all time to come. The young woman is Miss Sarah Ellis of San Antonio, Tex., and she registered yesterday as a student in the department of music. She came to Evanston after an extensive correspondence with Prof. P. C. Lutkin, dean of the school of music, but it was not known until she arrived that she was colored. She had never made mention of the fact in any of her letters to Prof. Lutkin or to the members of the Educational Aid association, although she sent her credentials from two schools she has been attending, both well known southern colored schools.

Mrs. Joseph Durden was in the city Sunday visiting her husband. Mr. Jess Brown gave a very pleasing concert during the street fair which was quite a success. The residence of Ed. Cambel is being repaired and repainted this week. The funeral of Mrs. Garner was very largely attended last Sunday, and her lodges made the services very impressive. Mrs. Garner was a very influential worker in both church and order. The band lately organized by the young colored men of the city is coming out wonderfully under the instruction of Prof. John Spikes. It should be encouraged by every intelligent citizen. The Tabernacle gave a very pleasant entertainment Thursday evening which was largely attended. Wm. Haql, painter and decorator, of Emporia, has moved to the city and has gone in business with Mr. Ernest Owens, an accomplished painter of this city. The new minister at the A. M.

AKERS, FLEMING, KAS on the right side; not perhaps because its members have no prejudice against the colored folk, for many of them were brought up in the traditions of slavery, but because their principles are stronger than their prejudices, and, seeing the right, they must fight on its side. It is the true American spirit, while we fought for the liberation of Cuba we had small admiration or even liking for the Cubans, but they were human beings and we would not have them tortured within our hearing. It was the same way during the civil war. The North was not enamored of the negro; facts prove, indeed, that it had far less thought of living negroes than had the South; but it fought and bled and died for the cause of freedom, and history records its triumph and the public opinion of the world has but one verdict, that of approval. This is the crushing reply to those who say that to disregard the color line in such matters as this of the federation is too ideal a position for practical life. It is an ideal the nation realized forty years ago, and we are going to try to reverse the edict, and NELSONS STRAIGHTINE THE LATEST DISCOVERY FOR MAKING KNOTTY, KINNY, CURLY HAIR STRAIGHT BEFORE AFTER Nelson's Straightline out, removes dandruff, cures itching long and beautiful head of hair.

Missouri is now more in the world's eye than for a long time; she will be increasing consolences for the next four years. Now is her opportunity. She was saved by a handful of brave spirits from throwing herself on the wrong side in the civil war; let her now declare her advance in this war of women, forty years after men fought out the issue, and proclaim herself overwhelmingly on the side of justice, equity, principle and right. It is moved that Missouri instruct her delegates to vote at the biennial meeting for the following proposition: All clubs, without distinction, may be admitted into the general federation if they are members of the federation in th state from which they come. The colored club women are making no noise. They are waiting to see the salvation of the Lord. Just what will be the outcome of all this agitation none can say. The position assumed by Miss Halsted is eminently fair to the women of America regardless of color. The negro club women of Kansas should go on perfecting their organization, building character, and developing those qualities of heart and mind so admirable in the cultured and refined woman, and when the time comes, which it surely will, be ready to enter into the full enjoyment of all privileges, and to reflect honor upon the race.

Terms reasonable. St. Simons Guild met on last Monday evening with Mrs. H. W. Dillard. The social feature was more prominent in this meeting than for some time, owing to the fact that one of the members, Mrs. R. Talbott, was on the eve of departure to her new home in the Indian Territory. A slight testimonial of regard was presented to her by the Guild. A part of the evening was given to a meeting of the Woman's Auxiliary. The President, Mrs. M. E. Kuykendall, spoke of the pledges made by St. Simon's branch at the convention and expressed a hope that it would be enrolled as a "banner branch" at the next convention. The mite chests were placed and ways and means of providing the money required for carrying on other lines of work were discussed. Mrs. J. Jordan, Miss Cora Merritt and Messrs. J. M. Wright and J. H. Guy were visitors. INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE NOTES. Prof. S. G. Watkins and Rev. H. D. Fisher, two well-known workers for the uplifting of the negro race, at the Sunday afternoon service last Sunday, delivered excellent addresses, which, if put into practice, would quickly remove the disgusting "crap shooting" and "cigarette smoking" youngsters who daily lounge about the street corners and bring disrepute upon themselves and families and those who prefer to live and train their children along higher moral standard of living. Quite a number of townspeople, as well as the students, enjoyed this intellectual feast. You will miss the treat of your life if you do not attend the musical and literary concert to be given at the Institute Wednesday evening. Refreshments will be served, including oysters, creams and ices. Miss Percy Clark or Leavenworth and Master Clarence Wilson of Denver and students from the city and Great Bend, Kan., were enrolled during the past week. The crowded condition of the Institute will necessitate that the board of trustees take almost immediate steps to enlarge our capacity. The growth of the school during the past year has been marvelous and the school must be improved for work on a more extensive scale. Last week the tailoring department turned out a neat pair of trousers with a cut and fit that would make one of our up-town merchants walk with an air of pride. As there is plenty of this kind of work in this line in the city for all tailors, the Institute asks the people to give them a share of it. The Institute wishes to make acknowledgment and to express thanks for the donation of a map to the school by Mr. John Edmonds, and a large picture of Lane college, Jackson, Tennessee, by Rev. J. M. Brown, pastor of Lane Chapel, C. M. E. church. We hope more of our friends will show their interest in the school in this practical sort of way. WESTERN UNIVERSITY. Crowded With Students—Best Enrollment In Its History. The James A. Handy Literary Society was organized on Friday, October 11, 1901, and the following officers were installed; Mr. Albert Dixon, President; Miss Annie Britt, Vice President; Miss Mary Jackson, Secretary; Miss Mary Reynolds, Assistant Secretary; Mr. Richard Nelson, Treasurer; Mr. James Saunders, Censor; Miss Alpha Brooks, Planist; Messrs. James Ewing and Lewis Brown, Choristers; Mr. T. A. Harvey, Chaplain; Mr. Reuben Brown, Sergeant-at-Arms; Miss Bertie Groves, Critic. We have been blessed with visitors this week. Among them was our famous Negro stenographer, Mr. Stewart, who delivered a very able lecture to the teachers and students. The very striking illustration which he presented shall remain with us and the sound advice will only cause the ideal of our boys and girls to be higher. He solicited applause before the lecture, as he expressed a fear of receiving none after, but with hearts full of the deepest appreciation and gratitude for his kindly remarks, the school applauded him as he took his seat. Mrs. Giles of Denver, Rev. Guy of Argentine and Rev. W. H. Peck and wife were among the visitors on Tuesday. Rev. Peck was at one time very closely associated with our school in the capacity of a teacher in its early struggles and expressed himself freely of the advancement the school has made. We are glad to note that the students of Western University are doing nicely. The attendance is increasing steadily. Students are coming in daily and more writing wanting to enter. The enrollment is larger than ever before at this time of the year. Mrs. Spurlock, Mrs. Price and Mrs. Brown of Independence were among the visitors on Monday. Mrs. Crawford and Mrs. Turner were visiting Wednesday. Rev. L. J. Johnson, who has been associated with the school from its beginning, left Thursday evening for Cheyenne, Wyo., where he will take charge of the A. M. E. church there. Mrs. Brady of Hutchinson, Kan., is visiting her niece, Mrs. L. J. Johnson, also Mr. George and Wm Brady were the guests of Mrs. Johnson this week. On Thursday morning the very sad intelligence of the death of Mrs. M. A. Morris reached us. Our hearts were very much saddened, indeed, over the loss of our matron, who had been ill for two months, and whose return to us was looked forward to with the greatest anxiety. School was dismissed and on Saturday a number of teachers and students accompanied the remains to Leavenworth, Kan., where the body was interred at Mt. Muncie, after services, which were conducted by Rev. G. C. Clark. There were many very beautiful floral tributes, a handsome design of "Gates Ajar" was presented by the faculty and a pillow by the students, wreaths by immediate family and other designs by friends. The pallbearers were Messrs. Nelson, Brooks, Dixon, Pennick, Ewing and Brown, who are students of the uni- BE NOT DECEIVED TO THE COLORED PEOPLE OF AMERICA. King of all Hair Tonics, "OZONO." BEFORE. AFTER. 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 franks 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, OZONO. ron-clad guarantee to do all that. Now, we ask you a plain quest: $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with to all we claim for them?

Make one package of our celebrated LLY PURE, and no soap but a which is sold with an iron-clad guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or we will forfeit $50.00. Now, we ask you a plain question—would we absolutely agree to forfeit $50.00 if you are dissatisfied with our preparations, if they were not true to all we claim for them? We have advertised for several years under this guarantee, and we are glad to say that every one who has used Ozono has been satisfied in every respect. 20,000 people are to-day using our preparations, and every purchaser recommends Ozono as the King of all Hair Tonics.

Many firms are advertising remedies to straighten hair, but when they send the preparation they tell you to use hot irons. Friends, do not use hot irons; they will burn up the life of the hair, and cause it to drop out. Ozono straightens without any outside assistance. Nothing but Ozono is necessary, and the hair stays straight forever. You can stop the use at any time. The good effects on the hair are seen in a day or two after the first application. The price of Ozone is 50c. a bottle—4 boxes do the work. We make this liberal offer, which is good at any time: Cut out this coupon and send to us, enclosing with it the sum of One Dollar, and we will forward to you four large boxes of Ozone and one large bottle of Electrical Skin Refiner, which makes black skin bright, rough skin soft and pliant, and cures all skin diseases.

It is a pity that a man with decency and common judgment could not be found to set in that court. Nobody respects a man after he is out of office for such high-handed methods as this.

I wonder who went to a certain church and was frightened out of their wits because they were called on to pray? Who is baking light oread to please a R. R. porter? Who has two brothers that run over the U. P. R. R. to K. C. and one on the Rock Island? Who made a flying trip to Emporia? OTTAWA ITEMS. The members of St. Paul's A. M. E. church tendered their new pastor, Rev. F. G. Barr and family, a reception on last Wednesday evening.

Smith left on the morning train for Lamar; will return about the last of the week. We wonder why it is that the Nevada young ladies don't have the church pride that the young ladies do of our sister cities. Nevada young ladies and gentlemen should strive to elevate to a higher moral standard in life. It is commonly said by visitors to our city that the reason that the young men do not attend church is because the girls all prefer attending Sunday Base Ball games, and at Foot Ball. How much nicer would it be to see us all at church and thus avoid all rowdyism. If we as a people want to be respected we must first respect ourselves. Deacon Holmes is on the sick list. Mr. M.

Mrs. Ada Cunningham was fatally burned by an exploding lamp last Wednesday night, at the home of her mother, Mrs. Joe Tray. Mrs. Cunningham was seated on the floor combing her hair. She was near a sewing machine at which her mother was sewing, and on which was a lamp. It is thought that when the accident happened she was covered with blazing oil, her hair caused tae blaze to touch the ceiling. Her mother and father each burned their right arm seriously in trying to put out the flames. When the flames had been extinguished by smothering with blankets and throwing water, it was found that her flesh was dropping from her body above the waist. Dr. Griffin was called at once, but told the family she could not live. After careful treatment and nursing, Mrs. Cunningham died at 8 o'clock Monday morning.
