Wilder Desires to Be Great, He Should Inform the Waiting Public as toWhether or Not the “Free List” Was Used in Getting His Statuary Herel The Public Pulse, How It Feels as Regards the President Entertaining Booker T. Washington at the White House. lot the Kansas people. | ‘The action of President Roosevelt in entertaining Booker ‘T. Washington seater a few days ago was the sub- Ject of special mention by Rev. Chas. M. Sheldon to bis 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 sald: “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 eapressed themselves as follows: “If Prisident Ruosevcit’s action was in the nuture of a trick," saul Governor Stanley, “wt Was the very cheapest sort ar a political trick aml ane he would hirdly seem capable of. However, I do not believe that It was done ax a trick. Roosevelt 18 recognized as a very nde pendent sort of a fellow and one who is apt to do about what he wants to, If he entertained Washington for the purpose ef showing the country that he regarded Washington as the head of the Negro race in America It Was 4 very nice thins todo, Ido not know what effect his ac- {ion WE have in the west.” State Treasurer Mrank Grimes had the following to say on the subject: “1 can not see that Roosevelt has done any thing wrong. This { something different from whit other Presidents have done ant something different fram what we woukl hive looked for in President MeKintes but It wil have no had effrets in Kan- ais, [believe that It wall result in good here, as it will show the Negroes of this State that the President ts nt above reengnizing one of their race.

Clark, Secretary of State. sakl: “The action of the President will phave no effect on Kansas pohtics, The incident ts hardly of enough Importance to warrant a discussion of it. T think that 7 per cent of the howl which ts go- Ing up about {t Is mate for political pur- Poses und the other 3 per cent Is made by people who are really indignant.” Frank Nelson, State Superintendent of Pubhe Instruction, ‘sald: “The principle of the affair is all right, [ would us soon sit at a table with a Negro as not. {t might have been better had the Presl- dent deferred the public recognition of Washington for a short time, as he was beginning to be well liked in the south. ‘Washington ts a big man and deserves such recognition.” Rey. W. E. Helm at the Shiloh Bap- tist 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. Wash- ington is an American citizen regard. less of his color; a leader of the Negro rate, a peerless educator, and bas the same right as an American citizen t receive honors from the chief execu tive of the nation as ony other Amer! can citrzen.” Another incident wilt occur thi week to cause further agitation to th southerners. Along with Presiden Roosevelt, Mr. Washington is being entertained at Yale college, where th acgree of doctor of laws will be con {ferred upon both. And as if to shov [how completely the hand of fate 1 | guiding events, the President and bi | distinguished Negro advisor have bee! [invited to dine together. Mr, Washing | ton is the guest of Pof. John Chris ‘Jtopher Schwab of Yale, the author c | Bistory of the confederacy and || Southern gentleman. Kirk Pinkston, speaking of the mat _} ter, says: “President Roosevelt touches th , {cord and the bell rings throughout th 1|south, giving him a slight idea ho ;| to treat Negroes, Regardless to the -|loyaity to the stars and stripes of >| country that has given birth to eigt ¢| millions of oppressed citizens, caus: n| by those whom so bitterly opposed njsee a Negro dining with the head ¢ .|this great civilized Christian natio {Regardless to his qualifications, it man like Booker T.

The an- nouncement 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 astonish- ment among Negroes as among whites, ‘The long continued narrowminded.pre- Judiced policy of Americans, has come to be accepted as a matter of course smong Negrocs and the least devia- tion from this course, is su:ficient to cause astonishment. Negroes view the incident in differ- ent lights, All however regard it as the beginning of a new epoch in the taces' history. The pubtic recogniton of a Negro like Washington places a premium upon sterling Negro man- hood, that is bound to inspire thous- ands of Negroes tg take higher grounds. The race regards the dinner incident at Washington as the recogni- tion 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. Fresident Roosevelt is a man of inde- pendence, who has a faculty of doing that which pleases him, and it should not be assumed that entertaining Ne- groes te tea will form a part of Mrs. Roosevelt's duties every week in the dear. ‘The comment of the people is var- fed and show bow 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 “Pitch- fork” 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 Tight to eat with any man ne 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 asso- ciate 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 ail the others. ‘It ts a natural sequence. If it ts the pur- pose 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 rol and take care we do not become a race 0} mongrels." ~ ‘The above remarks tell the story o the great bugaboo of mesceginatior that Southern prostitutors of Negr womanhood have held up before this nation since Lincoln signed the Eman. cipation proclamation. There is no! the remotest probability that the col ored gentleman who might be honoreé by an invitation to dine with Presiden Roosevelt or any other gentleman's family, will so far forget themselves as to presume upon the social cus toms. But the same cannot be sald 0 the Southern gentleman, who fore their illicit relations up innocent Ne gro women without regard for publi feclings in the matter. We advis Senator Tillman to take a look abou bis state, and see what a lovely rain bow like population his friend ha sueceeded.in making out of the co: black African, Here is what some papers are saj ing.

Washington will not satisfy the ten million Negroes in the South who are hungry and ihirsting for equality before the law. The appointment of Democrats to places which could be filled by good Republi- cans will not make up for Booker’s little meal at the White House. We admire the President in his courageous experi- ment in dining with a Negro at the Executive. Mansion, for it was equal to going up San Juan Hill “before the American white msn.” Let the President take a step farther to secure equality before the law and at the ballot box.

Washington, a negro, re- cently dined with President Roosevelt. Washington is one of the brightest men this age has produced, and his advice to negroes {s so full of common sense that he may be regarded as a very useful man, The proud South- Tons may sniff, but Roosevelt did nothing out Df the way. Prominent men all over the country take pride in honoring Booker T. Washington. He is a severe critic of the loafing, singing, cake walking, banjo picking negro. He advises the negro to make themsetves respected by industry and worthy conduet. Booker T.

Washing- ton, of Tuskegee, dine with him, Pres!- dent 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 consul- tation as to the best policy to pursue on the Great Southern Question, held between the president and Booker T. Washington quite recently, and the re- sult ‘thereafter. In the former, we be- hold the Negro race was recognized Intellectually, in the latter soclally, by the highest in the land.

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.

Paul Bray's Budget. The Roosevelt-Washington dinner, which is being so much talked about, bas 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 dianer, are important, in that they sive unmistakable evidence of the in- tense hatred of the South:toward the Negro, without regard to his worth and hich 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 recog: nizing the Negro as a man, a gentle man and a citizen, The Southern people, or people of any other section, ought to have sens enough to know, if they do not, that the President is master of his house hold, and anyone who, publicly, assail: him for entertaining whomsoever hi chooses, in the privacy of his home, i a fool or a coward. No sensible Negr will regard the entertainment of Book er Washington, by the President, as : specitl honor to his race, or as a: indication that the President intend | to, or does,.accord the Negro, Yeoct lequaiity.” neither should any Car casian take exception to his act. Booker Washington is, In the eyes o! the world, one of the greatest men the South has today. The Southerr people have said so, tlme and time ‘again. ‘They have proclaimed him to the world as thelr ideal citizen and the foremost man of his race. Following his Atlanta address, the entire South. ern Press sang loud and long the praises of the man, The vocabulary of our language was too limited to ex. press their high estimate of him. He was Ionized throughout the South: land; invited to address/Legislatures In jolnt assembly, consulted on all pub: He 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 es teemed by the Southern people, Pres ident Roosevelt evidently places a like estimate upon him. Since it is prop er and customary for a wise Presiden to consult with this class o: Ameri can citizens, it explains why the Pree ent called Mr. Washington from hi home in Alabama to the White Hous to confer with him concerning !mpor tant matters affecting the South. ‘The dinner was a trifling incident 0 this conference and a courtesy, whict has been extended to many othe prominent men since Mr. Roosevel has been President. The honor of dining with the Pres ident was a compliment to Mr, Wash ington. The latter's coming by re quest and entertained while here wa s private matter Into which no on bas a right to meddle. We admire the President's courage (in view of the censure and condemna. tion that was sure to follow from those who are saturated with race preju- dice), 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 pic- ture 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 re flection upon the American people. It is wwe right and privilege of every man to select his own guest and sure jy the President cannot be dented this right and privilege. ‘The United Supreme Council, A. A. S.

We take pleasure in publishing the following discussion of the question appearing {mn the St. Louis Globe-vemocrat of last Sunday, under the caption of “A Vital Issue.” St. Louis, Mo., October 19.— A meet- ing of the Mussouri federation of wom- en's clubs is to be held a few days hence, at which some Important ques- tions in regard to the general federa- tion are to ve voted upon. One of these is an amendment proposed by Georgia, advocating that the general federation shall be composed excius- ively of clubs of white women. Against this Massachusetts has protested, and offers a substitute involving a reorga- nization of the federation (a measure that was voted down at the last bi- ennial), but whose main point is that each state should decide its own rutes of membership by which it should be admitted into the federation, In order to clear the {ssue from all estraneous questions. the Wednesday club, of St. Louis, offers another sub- stitute, and has instructed its dele- gates to present the following: “Thal clups containing colored women shoul¢ be eligible to the general federation in those states in which they are eligible to membership in the state federa. tion.” This brings the matter squarely be fore the house, and what is Missour going to do about it? The questior bas been debated, with some warmtl in most cases, in all the Missour clubs, and now the state has to decid how she will put herself on record a the biennial to meet next June. ‘The Issue can not be avoided.

These are composed of persons who move in the same social circle. ‘there are thous- ands {n 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 Wed- nesday or another. But wnea 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 fs qui.e a different matter. To draw the color line there, and not only that, but tor one state to draw it in spite of the protests of other states, is a step aistinctly back- ward, a retrogression to tyranny. With the inconsistency so symto- matic of a wrong cause, the other side is there brought forward. Far from being Irresisibly attractive, It 1s ar- gued that negro women, especially Ir. the black belt, are {gnorant and filthy In their personal habits, and that to see them fs sufficient to establish their ineligibility. Why, of course, but what has this to do with the case in hand? Arn't there millions of whitefotk 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.

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.

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.

The present school enrollment is 1,075, which is by far the largest enrollment the institution has ever had at a corresponding time in the school year. The Tuskegee Institute has just been notified by a wealthy northern friend, who has already been generous to it, that two bath houses, to cost respectively $6,500 and $5,500, for young men and women, will be provided. These bath-houses will supply a long-felt want. During the last week eighteen Porto Rican students have arrived at the school to receive Instruction and training in our literary courses and the various industries. These students are chosen and sent here by the Porto Rican government with the intention of their returning to the island after completing our course of instruction to give the natives the benefit of their training. GEO. H. MAY, JR. NORTH TOPEKA, KAN. Rev. H. W. White, pastor of B street Baptist church, preached three good sermons Sunday, two at his church and one at the Third Baptist church.

A grand old folks concert will be given at B Street Baptist church Hallowe'en night, October 31. Everybody is invited. Beulah Mission Circle met at the residence of Mrs. Tennie Roberson last Friday. An interesting program was rendered. They will serve lunch at Mrs. Cornella Beach's Friday the 5th, 914 Western avenue. 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. The reception was a pleasant one and was attended by a large number of members and friends of the church. An excellent program was rendered, after which light refreshments were served.

Bond of Neosho, preached for us last Monday night. Many were made to rejoice in the God of their salvation. Rev. J. W. Fitts of Independence, Mo., preached for us several nights last week.

Ward made a flying trip to Fort Scott last Saturday night and preached for Rev. J. L. Dudly and returned home on the early train. Rev. L. N. 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. Estell had the misfortune to have his home entered by robbers last Sunday morning, taking much personal property. Miss Ella Evans of Rich Hill, Mo., was a visitor to our city Sunday. MEXICO. MO. Mr. Thomas Bass, the well known horseman, was seriously hurt at the fair fround in the city last Friday afternoon. He was training the famous High School horse, Columbus, for the Kansas City horse show, when the animal fell on him. The horse tried to render assistance, as there was no person near at the time of the accident. Mr. Bass was finally discovered by a farmer passing by and he was hauled to his home. 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. She leaves a husband, one child, many relatives and friends to mourn her loss. The community of both white and colored are in sympathy with/the bereaved family. E. J. Cooper was in Fulton on busi ness last week. CORRESPONDENT. The Ladles' Chapter of the O. E. S. gave an entertainment at Peerless hall. Monday evening. Grand Chancellor J. E. Lewis K. P.
