THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. WAVES THE BLOODY SHIRT VOLUME IV. While the North is Busy Praising Southern Rebels, They Continue to Advocate Secession as Strongly as in the Days of '61—A Dastardly Attack on the President. The following is an extract from Bishop Kelly's Memorial Day address at Savannah, Ga., which has created a sensation, not only in the South, but in the North: ROOSEVELT AS 'ACCIDENTAL.' "Bear with me while I plead for my people, that they were neither traitors nor anarchists. (as our accidental occupant of the presidential chair recently called them); that in no part of our common country was there deeper reverence for the constitution and a warmer love for the union of the states than in the South. "Let me speak awhile of the conditions which obtained previous to 1860. Slavery was not the cause of the war. That it was an incident leading to it or an occasion of the war may be allowed. When I am robbed of my purse or my land no one would assert that the possession of these things was the cause of the theft. "The proper legal status of the Negro in the South and the views entertained and loudly proclaimed as to the powers of the federal government over the question was one of the reasons why the South withdrew from the Union. Her better protection and security caused her to enter it. Their denial made her leave. SLAVE QUESTION IN 1776. "Until 1776 little or no attention was paid to the subject of slavery. When Mr. Jefferson had inserted in the original declaration of independence a clause reprobating the foreign slave trade and urged as one of the causes of separation that the king of England encouraged it, he was induced to withdraw it on account of some opposition in the South, and as he says; "Our Northern brethren, also, I believe, felt a little tender under these censures, for though their people have very few slaves, yet they have been pretty considerable carriers of them to others." SCORES THE PURITANS. "It is instructive and interesting to witness this trait of character of these descendants of the sturdy Puritans (a feature which has not disappeared us yet) that their conscientious convictions were duly subordinated to the exigencies of their pecuniary condition. Even during the civil war the thrifty Yankee, while battling for the Union, ordinarily managed to lay in a modest supply of pianos or silver spoons. "I do not think history affords evidence of such variety of conflicting motives, and abnormally developed inclination for disastrous interference in matters which do not concern them, as have marked the career of the Puritan people. They have combined wonderfully sagacity in business affairs and marvelous success in their mercantile pursuits--in fact, the adoption of all the avenues opened by modern research and methods for gaining the desired end with the most narrow and hidebound ideas of the views of all people beyond their favored border. "They came to this country, as they claimed, in search of a place where the might worship God according to their own conscience, and at once set up a theocratic government, to which, under penalty of exile, confiscation and death, all must submit. They allowed freedom of conscience to no one; they persecuted Christian and savage alike. When they had driven out Baptist, Papists and Quakers they, to keep their hands in, killed some harmless old women whose only crime was the possession of a black cat. "In May, 1860, there was a senator from Mississippi, whose name is for us a synonym of high purpose, spot- less integrity and exalted patriotism; a man who in the field exhibited dauntless courage, in the cabinet a breadth of view and grasp of conditions which marked him a deep student of our institutions; and in the senate, showed himself worthy to sit with the noblest; who in our dark days so upeld us, and in our bright days so animated our high hopes for grander achievements; and when defeat, disaster and utter ruin overtook us, bore with such patient and calm demeanor, the bitter shafts of calumny and slander; the man who so typified what we love so ardently that his name seems linked in indissoluble union with the rise, the glory and the defeat of the great and lost cause; the worthy gentleman, the true knight, the pure Christian--Jefferson Davis. "It is true that the gentleman who now happens to sit in the presidential chair at Washington has written of President Davis: 'Before Jefferson Davis took his place among arch traitors, etc., it was not unnatural that to dishonesty he should add treachery to the public. The moral difference between Benedict Arnold on the one hand, and Aaron Burr and Jefferson Davis on the other, is the difference between the politician who sells his vote for money and one who supports a bad measure to get a high political position." "When Mr. Davis was living, and a prisoner, a fellow named Miles placed shackles on him in prison, though there was no necessity for it, and no one but a brute would have done it. But I have never heard that Miles, after Mr. Davis' death, brutally maligned his character—that species of envenomed malice was reserved for a recrant son of a Southern woman—the Rough Rider of Republican politics, the accident of 1902—the lightning change artist of the White House, who can hobnob with the kaiser's brother, and sit cheek and jowl with an Alabama negro; who can indulge in meaningless platitudes while South on the bravery and common heritage of Southern heroes and denounce them before the Grand Army as anarchists; who can profess a broad, American spirit, which brands sectionalism as a crime, and lauds the loyalty of our veterans of 1861-1865 to the constitution and reunited country, while damning evidence of his own written words shows that he compared the 'noblest Roman of them all,' Jefferson Davis, to Benedict Arnold. "Jefferson Davis was a statesman, a soldier and a man of a high character, a senator, a cabinet officer, a president, not put in office by a bullet, but by ballot. "Theodore Roosvelt's title to immortal fame will rest on shooting beasts and profiting by the murderous act of a reprobate who shot a man. FOR HER ACKNOWLEDGED RIGHTS. "For her acknowledged rights under the constitution the South withdrew from the Union. The die was cast and the sword has decided the question against us. But of the justice of the cause; of the right of the South, there was no doubt in our minds in 1861; there is none today "The revolutionary, unconstitutional and subversive tendencies of the abolition or Republican party are as evident today as they were forty-odd years ago. Their sniveling and Pecksniffian hypocrisy with regard to Cuba, which they intend to annex—is only surpassed by their atrocious treatment of the Philippines, on whom they are forcing a system which the people do not dedesire. "They have sought to degrade us by placing our former slaves upon a political level with us and foisting such on us as Federal officeholders. The present occupant of the chair of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jackson—aye, and Cleveland—is familiarly and with propriety known by the sobriquet of 'The Rough Rider.' His only claim to future fame or notoriety will be, I sincerely trust, that he broke up the Republican party. THE SOUTH'S POSITION. "The South is once more in the union. We are trying, and thank TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 23 1902. God, with a measure of success, to repair our waste places and build up our loved land. Our loyalty to the constitution of our country is indisputable. It is true that from time to time some valiant knight errant who sent a substitute to the front during the war will, in excess of patriotic impulse refer grandiloquently to rebel brigadiers in congress; we are becoming used to sandflies and mosquitoes, and have consoloed ourselves with the thought that for lack of proper institutions in their limits some of the Northern and Western states send their feeble-minded to congress. "But on the war and its issues we do not wish to be misunderstood. We have nothing to retract; nothing to apologize for. We are bearing our share of the burdens of the country without a murmur. We have not profited, I fear me much, by the lessons taught us by the yearly increasing legions of patriots in blue, who thirty-seven years after the war yet manage to drag their weary bodies to the pension office and draw $140,000,000 from the treasury. Our ideas of patriotism do not seem to be of the same order. "But we have set apart a day to recall the memories of the past and drop a tear over the graves of our heroes. From our poverty we have raised modest shafts in village and city all over the South, which tell in language better than e'er fell from human hips how we treasure the memory and honor the brave deeds of our own. Today we have scattered flowers on their graves. Tomorrow the flowers will be withered and dead, but deathless and fresh and bright will remain in our hearts and the hearts of those who come after us a deep and abiding gratitude to them. To no one else will we commit the sacred trust. They are ours. For us they fought; for us they died, and ours it is to care for their last resting place, as we vindicate their memories and justify their motives." SOLVING THE PROBLEM. Rather Than He Lunched, Georgia Negroes Sell Their Lives Dearly. Four white men and three Negroes dead, five white men and one Negro wounded and an entire block of buildings burned, is the result of a conflict that began at Atlanta, Ga., May 17th, in a suburb called Pittsburg. Officers attempted to arrest five Negroes, suspected of having beaten formerpoliceman S. A. Kerlin. The Negroes resisted arrest by entrenching themselves in a house, and the fight resulted. As the officers approached the house, at 1.30 in the morning, accompanied by a number of Kerlin's neighbors, including Owen Heard, the Negroes opened fire, and Heard fell. He was borne out of range and the house was surrounded until daybreak. The house in which one of the Negroes named Richardson was located belonged to Annie Wilbur, also colored. Richardson owned the store adjoining the house. Here he kept ammunition and gnns and was therefore well prepared for a fight. At 6 o'clock in the morning the little group of watching officers approached the place and called upon those within to surrender. In reply they received a volley of shots, one of which killed County Officer Battle. The attacking party retreated some distance and from behind trees and telegraph and trolley poles commenced firing into the store. In a few minutes the door of the house was thrown open and Will King, a Negro, ran out and surrendered. Inside the house Richardson had an unobstructed view in three directions. One block away, Policeman Tom Grant, who was among those summoned to the scene, stepped from his shelter to fire into the house. A shot rang out from the besieged house, and Grant fell dead. The attacking party hastily sent word to police quarters, and Chief of Police Ball dispatched the reserves to the scene, in several patrol wagons. The officers determined to make use of King, the Negro who had surrendered, and at the point of a Winchester they forced him to walk up to the rear of the house and fire it. As soon as the flames were discovered the officers, eager to get the inmates of the house, stepped out of their shelter in every direction Continued on Page 4. Politics and Politicians The Great Kansas Republican free for all will be pulled off at Wichita next week, Leland and Mulvane trainers, Grimes and Albaugh starters, the people bookmakers. Judge J. S. West, of Wyandott county, is making a strong canvass for Attorney General and will go into the State Convention with the Second and Third Congressional districts solid. At this time he seems to JUDGE J S WEST. be in the lead. His long service as Assistant Attorney General of Kansas has given general satisfaction. Judge West belongs to no political faction. D. J. Hanna, real estate investment agent of Hill City, Kas, was born in Randolph county, Ill., on June 4, 1866, and removed to Clay Center with his parents in 1870, resided on a farm until 1888, graduated from the Clay Center academy in 1887, removed to Graham county in 1888 and has been engaged in the banking and real estate business since that time; was a member of the legislature in 1894 and '95, a delegate to state conventions every year D. J. HANNA. since 1894, was a delegate to the national convention in 1900, has been a member of the state committee for the last five years and is yet a member, was a member of the executive committee in 1898, is a 32nd degree Mason, was always an admirer of J. R. Burton and one of his warmest supporters in 1895, also 1901. Aside from his interest in Graham county he is associated with his brother, George in the Union State bank of Clay Center. In spite of the many difficulties, the candidacy of Thomas T. Kelley, of Miami county, for state treasurer is meeting with strong support. No man is better known throughout the state than Mr. Kelley. Beginning early in life as a school teacher, he has built himself up by his own efforts. He was elected county clerk of Miami county and acceptably filled THOS. T. KELLEY the position. He has twice served as secretary of the Republican state central committee. He has been assistant state treasurer under Frank Grimes, and has made a most excellent official. Enemies of Mr. Kelley have sought every possible way to discredit him with the people. Charges against him have been made accusing him of malfeasance in office during his term as county clerk. When Mr. Kelley left the county clerk's office in 1893, the books were carefully examined by an expert and accepted by the county commissioners. Since leaving the office of county clerk, Mr. Kelley has been receiver of a national bank and a strong candidate for state auditor. During all this time he enjoyed the confidence and hearty support of the fellows who are now against him. Mr. Kelly will not be affected by the disreputable methods of this class of politicians. We desire to call the attention of our numerous readers, this week, to the candidacy of Hon. George J. Barker, for the Legislature from the Thirteenth district, subject to the Republican primaries and district convention. Judge Barker is an old resident of Douglas county, having settled there in pioneer days, during the year 1868, and from that time until the present he has been a prominent figure in both State and County politics. Mr. Barker is a well known man, having been practicing in our courts for years, and his conscientiousness and honest scruples have won for him a high regard from all the county. The Judge has been a friend, staunch au loyal, to the Negro, and has ever been their "stand by" in all things. His record in State and County politics has been noted for conservatism, honesty and fairness to one and all alike. Mr. Barker's well known Republicanism, and his loyalty to the grand old party, have won for him many friends, and his nomination will add strength to the ticket. Judge Barker will have the enthusiastic support of all the leading Republicans of Douglas county. He has at all times been a most loyal champion of the State University and to all city improvements he has lent his hearty co-operation. There is no such word as "fail," or "defeat," at the primaries, for Hon. Geo. Barker, and there will be one of the warmest fights that has been seen lately. Hon James Troutman, of Shawnee, will carry a strong delegation. He has made many friends. Hon. W. J. Bailey, of Nemaha, seems to have the largest number of pledged delegates in the convention. Mr. Enright of Wyandotte county, will have a strong following from the the Second district, in his behalf for Govenor. Harry Richter, of Morris county, who has served as Lieutenant Govenor, is confident that the mantle of Stanley will fall upon him. D. J. Hanna, of Graham, Gormady, of Bourbon, W. M. Glenn, of Greely, are strong candidates, with an even chance of winning the nomination for Lieutenant Govenor. J. E. Burrows, of Smith county, will have no opposition for his place as Secretary of State. He is a strong man and one of the most successful business men of his county. The race for Auditor is between S. A. Kelsey, of Atchison, Seth Wells, of Erie, and D. Y. Wilson, of Republic. All have made an earnest canvass. D. Y. Wilson will go into the convention stronger, perhaps, than the others. He has been a persistent worker, and is a man of pleasing address. For the long term as Justice of the Supreme Court are Judge Pollock, Judge Ellis and Henry Mason, of Finney county. For the short term are Judges Green and Cunningham. They are a strong array of legal talent and will impartially dispense justice. Charles Lulling, of the Peerless Princess of Kansas, will have no opposition for the place of Superintendent of Insurance. He is one of the best equipped men for the place in the state. It elected, he will reflect great credit on the state. For Superintendent of Instruction Frank Nelson of McPherson, W. D. Ross of Jefferson, and I. L. Dayhoff of Reno, are active candidates. Mr. Nelson is the present incumbent, and has made a good officer. Mr. Dayhoff seems to be his strongest opponent. He has been picking up votes rapidly during the past week and will go into the convention strongly endorsed by several counties. Senator H. B. Miller, of Osage county, will be the man in the state convention on whom to keep your eyes. He has made a strong canvass and has many friends in the convention who will select him in case they find their first choice unavailable. He is an able man and possesses exceptional talent for the gubernatorial duties. Harry J. Bone, of Clark county, has been handicapped by illness in making a thorough canvass of the state. His service as Assistant U.S. Attorney has given him a wide state acquaintance. R. P. McColloch of Harper county, is also a candidate for Attorney General and is making a strong fight for the place. Mr. Coleman, of Clay county, will go into the convention backed by a strong following from the Fifth district, for Attorney General. STANDS. BY CRUMPACKER In order to fully understand the position of the Kansas delegation in Congress, THE PLAINDEALER sent a letter to each Congressman in relation to the Crumpacker resolution of which the following is a copy: DEAR SIR: Will you kindly give us your view regarding the possible effect of the Crumpacker bill. Will the National Congress investigate into the disfranchisement of Southern Negroes, with a view of enforcing the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Federal Constitution? Will steps be taken by Congress to protect the rights of Negroes? An early reply will greatly oblige, Yours Very Truly. We have received answers from a majority of the Congressmen and publish them as follows: Wants Absolute Truth Known. Washington, D. C., May 14, '02 MR. NICK CHILES, MY DEAR SIR: Answering your kind favor of May 7th will say: I have believed all along and now believe that the Crumpacker resolution should pass. What the effect of its passage will be is hard to tell but that a full knowledge of this whole matter should be had by the entire country, there can be no question. Passion and prejudice should be put aside in the investigation, to the end that the absolute truth may be known. The American people know how to deal with any question when they have the facts. Faithfully yours, Congress Should Investigate. Washington, D. C., May 14, '02. NICK CHILES, Esq., Topeka, Kansas. MY DEAR MR. CHILES: I have your letter of recent date and note your questions in regard to the Crumpacker resolution. The question is now pending before the committee on rules and I am advised that action will be taken and a committee will be appointed to thoroughly investigate the disfranchisement of the colored people in the South. I am satisfied the examination will be exhaustive and that when the report is made Congress will take such steps as are necessary to protect the rights of the colored people in Southern states. Very truly, Favers the Resolution. Washington, D. C., May 9, '02M NICK CHILES, Topeka, Kansas. DEAR SIR: I have yours of the 7th referring to the Crumpacker resolution, providing for an investigation of election methods and disfranchisement of voters in the South and the Congressional representation of the Southern states. I am personally in favor of an investigation along the lines suggested in the Crumpacker resolution. There may be good reasons why this should not be done at this time. In my judgment the time will come, and that very soon when the Republicans in Congress will provide for something of this kind. I am convinced that the matter will have careful consideration and be acted upon before the close of the Fifty-seventh Congress. Yours truly, J. D. BOWERSOCK. Congressman Long Favors the Bill. Washington, D. C., May 14, '02. THE PLAINDEALER, Topeka, Kansas. DFAR SIRS: Yours of the 7th instant is received. The Crumpacker resolution has been indorsed by a Republican conference, and it will be considered in the House as soon as a sufficient number of Republicans will agree to support it in order to secure its passage. I will give this resolution my support when it is brought up for consideration. It is impossible to determine at the present time just what authority will be included in the resolution.

I will send you a copy of the resolution. Congress Will Protect. Washington, D. C., May 19, '02. MR. NICK CHILES, Topeka, Kansas. DEAR SIR: I received your letter several days ago, and I desire to say in reference to the Crumpacker bill that it is my judgment Congress will investigate fully the disfranchisement of the colored people in the South, and that in the near future steps will be taken to protect all of the rights of the colored people granted them by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments to the Constitution. With kindest regards, I rema'n. Sincerely yours, Washington. D. C., May 12, '02. MR. NICK CHILES, Topeka, Kansas. DEAR SIR: I have your recent favor, asking my views as to the possible effect of the Crumpacker resolution and the prospect of its adoption. I have earnestly supported this measure, because it seemed to me to be the plain duty of Congress to ascertain by some competent authority whether or not the Constitution of the United States is violated by the suffrage provisions of a number of Southern state constitutions. I think that is undoubtedly the view taken by the majority of the Republicans in Congress. I regret to say, however, that it does not seem now as if any action would be taken in that direction at this session. The question of reciprocity with Cuba and the bill for the government of the Philippine Islands have been debated at such length that there seems to have been but little time in either house for the consideration of anything else except matters of the most urgent necessity. It is only fair also to say that a considerable number of Republicans in the House are opposed to the passage of the Crumpacker resolution at this time. This is particularly true of Republicans from the Southern states. Their argument is that the disfranchise provisions of these state constitutions will really in the long run result in benefit to the Negro and in adding strength to the Republican party. They say that the Negroes will be encouraged to get an education, and to acquire property, in order that they may vote, and that when the Democrats no longer have the cry of Negro supermacy with which to rally their forces, the white men of the South will divide, as they do in the North, and thus add to the strength of the Republican party. You will understand, of course, that I do not express these as my own sentiments, but merely as the reasons given by Southern Republicans for objecting at this time to any measure which will give the Democrats an opportunity to sound their old war cry. I hardly need say that so far as I am personally concerned, I am still as strongly of the opinion as I have ever been that the right to vote ought not to be withheld from any man on account of his color, and I hope yet to have an opportunity to assist in the passage of a measure that will result in a free ballot and an honest count in every part of the Union. Yours very truly. A. W. Harris, who has been acting as state representative for this paper, is no longer in our employ, and all persons are warned against paying or transacting business pertaining to this paper with said Harris.

EDITORIAL COMMENT Kansas Delegation are for It This paper sent out to the sev- eral members of Kansas Delega- tion in Congress, a letter of in- quiry relative to their position on the Crumpacker bill demanding a searching investigation into the election methods of the South, with a view of determiniug how many Negroes are disfranchised by the operation of several new constitutions, We have receiv- ed answers from a majority and publish them elsewhere iu this issue. They indicate very clear- ly the position of our congress- men on this very important ques- tion. The preservation of the rights of Negro voters as guaran- teed them under the constitution is a cause worthy the hest efforts ofour people. If the Negroes in each state will labor to secure the support of tneir congressmen for this measure, there will be No qnestion as to the result. All Have Faults This paper has cheerfully and honestly endorsed the noble efforts of Mr. Booker T. Wash- ington in behalf of his people, At the same time we have not been remiss in filing our objec- tion to the absolute adoption of this policy to the exclusion of al else in the matter of educating Negroes. There is a disposition quite manifest, among a number of very influential Negro journal- ists to unduly criticite Mr. Wash- ington’s theories and motives. Weare sincere when we say that the Negro needs, yes, his conui- tion imperatively demauds edu- cation along industrial lines. But we believe that all education should be along yxseful lines. The Negro needs the same edu- cational influences required tc make good citizens of any oth- erclass, In these days of shary competition, the Negro who en- ters any line of work must have some special knowledge of the work to enable him to make it asuccess. He needs energy ambition, and good commor horse sense, more than he need: the picayunish fault finding jeal. ous spirit that prompts him tc envy his brother. He necds te be educated to love his race anc take pride in the achievement: of its members. Demanding Better Educated Employee: The management of the Santz Fe railway have issued an order to the heads of its various de- partments instructing them tc give preference to high schoo! graduates in selecting future help. This is placing a premium on ed- ucation and will result in a lar- ger number of male graduates each year. It would be a wise tule to be adopted by all rail- roads.

AFTER. BE WARNED IN order to protect the public from the numerous quack noirrums now on the market, which claim to straighten and cause the hair to grow long, and which are simply put up by a lot of quacks, charlatans, and fakirs, who have no chemical skill, with the sole idea to get your hard-carned cash and give you nothing in return for your money but a dirty, sticky mass of worthless greases, which injure the hair and cause it to fall out, we have placed our trade-mark, granted to us by the Government of the United States of America, on every box of OZONO, King of all Hair-Growers and Hair-Straighteners. This trade-mark consists of two heads, as shown in this advertisement—one head showing short, curly hair, the other showing long, flowing hair. Any preparation showing the heads with the hair done up in a coll, or showing features different from the faces shown in this advertisement, is not ZONO. Seeing our marked success with the true hair-straightener, OZONO, King of all Hair-Growers, numerous firms are now widely advertising spurious compounds, and trading on the reputation that we have made for OZONO. Do not be fooled by these flaring advertisements, which are all promises. Buy the genuine and only original King of all Hair Tonics, OZONO. Two hundred and fifty thousand colored people bought OZONO in the last twelve months. OZONO is sold in every State in the Union, all over Europe, Asia, Africa, and South America, also in Cuba and the West Indies. Its fame has travelled around the world, because it is a true Hair Tonic, that straightens without any outside assistance. No hot irons are used; nothing but OZONO. It not only straightens the hair, but produces a long, silky, beautiful, intriguous growth of soft, fine hair. To neglect your hair is more than foolish, when you can increase its beauty by a few applications of OZONO. We can send OZONO to any place that you may live in, no matter where you may live. The price of OZONO is 100c. a box, sent to any point on receipt of price. Four boxes is a complete treatment. In order to introduce this great Hair Tonic, we will send to you, on receipt of only $1.00, the following grand aggregation: Four boxes of OZONO; one bottle of ELECTRICAL SKIN REFINER, which softens rough skin and brightens black skin, making it several shades lighter, worth 50c.; also one bottle of ELECTRICAL SKIN FOOD, Nature's cure for all skin diseases, such as Pimples, Tan, Acne, Itch, Eczema, and Boils.
