THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. REMOVING THE WHITEWASH Historical Society State House TH VOLUME IV. Beautiful and He REMOVING TH Outraged and Defrauded Victims of the Grand Matron of the O. E.S. are Coming to the Front With Stubborn Facts. The Whitewash is Slowly But Surely Being Removed. TOPEKA, KA8., July 21, '02.—This is a true statement of Mrs. Langston which she told me and my daughter. We were talking about my sister's death and she said she would find out to whom the money belonged. When she went to Great Bend and returned, she told me that the money was willed to me, and she also said it went through the Grand Lodge all right. She told me this on the Fourth day of July, and that Green Stevens wanted this money, but it was willed to me and he could not get it, and stated farther that he could not bring suit for it, and for me to make myself easy, and when the money came she would bring it to me. This was on the Fourth of July when I drove to Mrs. Mayme Johns' to see Mrs. Langston. She had been to Great Bend and to the Grand Lodge. Two weeks later I saw her going into my neighbor's house and I asked her, "How about that little business of ours?" and she said, "I will be down to see you." On the last one or two days in July, Mrs. Langston called to see me and she said she had received a letter from Green Stevens, and if she paid me that money, he would make her pay it again. I asked her to give me the money, because she told me the money had been allowed by the Grand Lodge and also the Great Bend lodge. I asked her to pay me the money and he could not get it or place it in the bank, then she said that he (Green Stevens) would garnishee it. Then I told her to send it back to the Grand Lodge and she said she could not. I then went to Great Bend on the 1st day of August to see about it. When I came home, Mrs. Langston called to see what the lodge people of Great Bend had to say about the money. The Great Bend people said: "The Grand Matron has the money, it was allowed for you, and she will give it to you." I told Mrs. Langston this and she said: "If you had been here two weeks sooner I would have given it to you. We will meet in two weeks and I will pay you your $50." I waited two weeks longer, then I went to the school house to see Mrs. Langston and she remarked, "Make yourself contented Mrs. Buchanan, you are sure to get that $50. I would pay it to you now, but I have got my taxes to pay. If I can get the money I will pay you." Then I looked at Mrs. Langston and was amazed, and when I went away I said to myself, "what on earth has her taxes to do with my money," then I began to get my eyes open. After that I heard several of the Star people say the money was allowed in the Grand Lodge, the same to be paid to me and that Mrs. Langston was the person that was keeping me out of my money. I told Mrs. Langston that I would have to sue her. "You can sue me," she said, "I have done all I am going to do." This was the winter of 1901. At this time the Grand Patron did not know anything about it at all. I informed him in February, 1902, and he wrote me as he was surprised and did not know one word of my sister's death. My daughters will witness that she said she would pay me the $50 in two weeks, and that the money was rightfully mine. This is a true statement of Mrs. Rachel Buchanan and her daughter, Miss Jennie. Yours of the 25th received O. K. Will say that I was over to see Mrs. Lucas on Monday. Say, will you kindly inform me as to what time your sister, Mrs. Mary Hadox died and what year and where at, and when did her husband, Calvin Hadox die. You will please let me hear from you by return mail, as I am trying to arrange my business so I can be in your city (Topeka) Wednesday the 5th of March to try to arrange business concerning your claim. I have written the Grand Matron, Mrs. Langston about your claim, so if you are not at home the evening of the 5th or the morning of the 6th, leave a note where I shall call to find you as we want the matter settled by the one trip, as the Chapters do not pay my expenses, I pay it myself. Don't fail please, to write at once, and oblige your friend. The letter written to Mrs. Rachel Buchanan by the acting Grand Patron under orders from the Grand King and Queen, shows that he never heard of the death of these old people, but at the Grand Chapter he claimed that he knew all about it. This money was allowed in 1901 at Leavenworth, Kas., the place where he was elected. The check was paid to the Grand Patron July 29, 1901, and up to February 2, 1902 The Patron did not know anything about this transaction, yet the two grand officers claim they tried to settle this from the time this check was wrongfully obtained by this Grand Patron. Why did she wait until the Grand Patron was notified by Mrs. Buchanan? Remember, Mrs. Langston waited from July 29, 1901 to Feb. 2, 1902 before any effort was made to find the probate judge of Barton county and inform him that she had $50 belonging to the Hadox estate. Lawyers were employed to inform them and a fee of $15 charged in order to defeat and defraud this old, uneducated woman, the only sister of the woman who made a dying request for her to have it in case her husband should die before the money was paid. Below we publish a statement from Mrs. Mayme Johns, with whom Mrs. Langston was living at the time the checks arrived—one for Mrs. Johns, the beneficiary of Mrs. Mark Freeman, the check made in the name of Mrs. Johns and the Hadox check bore the name of the Grand Matron: TOPEKA, KAS., JULY 21, 1902.—To the members of the O. E. S.: After carefully reading the charges made by Mrs. Mary E. Langston against Mr. Nick Chiles, I can truthfully say that Mrs. Langston did receive a bank check for $50 for Mrs. Buchanan. Mrs. Langston stated to me that Mrs. Buchanan had promised to give her one-half of the money, because she (Mrs. Langston) was "kind" enough to get the money for her and tell her that the money was allowed for her (Mrs. Buchanan.) After Mrs. Langton told me what Mrs. Buchanan had said about giving her one-half of the fifty dollars, I told Mrs. Langston I would not take half of the money and she said, "I will take as much as ten dollars at least." The date she received the check for the Buchanan money was the same day I received mine, Monday a. m., July 29, 1901. MAYNE E. JOINS. Now, what became of this money from July 29, 1901 to Feb. 2, 1902? The Grand Treasurer says she never saw it afterwards. If this transaction is square, show us one that is not? Mrs. Buchanan says she promised the money from time to time and there is no excuse for not paying it. No one could have been sued, as the money rightfully belonged to Mrs. Buchanan. It would have been far more honorable to have paid this poor, gray-haired old lady who is grief stricken. She has been treated shamefully. Yet, Rebecca Chapter, No. 8, located in Topeka, of which Mrs. Langston is a member and dictator to the Royal Matron, has turned down, turned out, expelled and suspended for ninety-nine years, all who attempted to have the matter honestly investigated. As long as she is filling both positions nothing will ever be ferreted out. White-washing seems to be their game. We are sorry for these poor, honest and innocent creatures, who are left TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 1, 1902. to tread the wine press alone, for the "King and Queen" will order the Guillitine into action at once, should any one dare oppose them. Since the trust has control, whitewash is costly, but however, we are going to rub it off. In a future issue, perhaps next week, we will explain the Blakeman childrens' side of the case, after which the "big scalping" will be on in full blast! We have abundance of ammunition—large and small guns for this battle. Right shall prevail. We are going to fight for the rights of our old colored people who have worked three centuries for the white race, and we do not intend that they shall put in three more for the young educated sharks of any race. WILL BE HERE SUNDAY. The Western Negro Press Association Will Meet in Topeka. The long-looked-for and much talked of meeting of the Western Negro Press association will meet in Topeka, Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 4. 5 and 6. A special car will arrive Sunday morning bearing about seventy-five or eighty delegates. An interesting program has been prepared and many topics of great interest to newspaper people and the race in general will be discussed. Governor Stanley and other prominent gentlemen will address the poorest paid people on earth, the Negro journalists. Wednesday evening they will be banqueted at the Chiles Hotel and Tuesday will ride over the city in carriages. The meeting will be held in the G. A. R. hall, 117 West Seventh street. Space prevents us from publishing the program which is rather lengthy. The people of Topeka will spare no pains in seeing that they are royally entertained, and upon their arrival, the gates of the city will be thrown open, and for three whole days the Negro journalists will own the most beautiful and hospitable city in Kansas. Those having "cuts" of themselves will do us a great favor by remembering to bring them. Reception Committee:—M.G. Holloway, Prof. M. Freeman, A. W. Harris, Fred. L. Leltz, J. H.

The Missouri Jurisdiction Held an Interesting Season in Kansas City Last Week. The Knights and Daughters of Tabor, of Missouri and jurisdiction, convened in their regular annual session in the "court room" at Kansas City, Mo., last week, Sir Joe E. Hereford, chief grand mentor, presiding. This was the largest session ever held in Missouri, which shows that the order is growing under the management of Sir Hereford. He is a young man of much ability and influence, honorable and straightforward business to the core. Chief Grand Mentor F. G. Wilson and Chief Grand Ireceptress Emma Gaines, of the Kansas-Nebraska jurisdiction were visitors and were royally received by the Missouri jurisdiction. The Chief Grand Recorder Miss Mary H. Wallace, of St. Charles, Mo., knows the work and performs the duties of the office well. She is a splendid parliamentarian and knowssomething about the law, rules and regulations of the order. Chief Grand Scribe J. G. Hayes, of Mexico, Mo., has held this position for several years, and has proven himself competent and well equipped for the position. Several thousand dollars were collected and paid out during the past year. The old officers were re-elected for the ensuing year. A picnic was given at Kerr's park Friday, and all highly enjoyed the outing. They meet next year in Columbia, Mo. Truly, it was an interesting session, and the Missouri delegation covered itself with honor. THOS T. KELLEY Is Discussed from a Sensible Stand point by His Friend and Admirer, W. R. Kuykendall. FELLOW CITIZENS:—From its birth the Republican party has been consistently and thoroughly devoted to the protection of American industries. The last national platform of the party is just as emphatic as any preceeding platform in announcing the position on this subject. Many have been the free trade assaults, subterranean and other, upon this cardinal principle of Republicanism and it must be admitted that there are secret enemies of this great party who, while pretending to be its friends, plot mischief against it furtively. They are eager to insert their political harpoon into the back of some of its leaders in a way that would injure the whole party. Several newspapers in this county and state contain paragraphs, evidently supplied from one source, stating that my friend, Honest Tom Kelly, is a defaulter and unworthy of public recognition. I do not feel the slightest discomfort because these jour- HON. THOMAS T. KELLEY. nals show my friend up under false colors, for what else could we expect from opposing journals? Kansas undoubtedly needs a good man in the State Treasurer's office, and we have that man in the race for that office and his initials are Thomas T. Kelley. In my judgment he is a straightforward, broad-minded man, who will always be true to the best interests of the state, the nation and to his own manhood. The great question is, what is the man himself and his platform; not, what particular newspaper or newspapers oppose him. In securing the nomination Mr. Kelly won a great personal victory, a victory for greatness that has never been equaled in the history of Kansas politics. Such an unfair and uncalled for fight was never waged against any man in his own party. Indeed, no such a furious fight was ever made against any man in this state, within or without his party. When Mr. Kelly's term of office expired in Miami county his books were examined by experts and pronounced O. K. Ten years MR. W. R. KUYKENDALL, Staunch Friend, and Admirer of Hon. Thos. T. Kelley. later, those books fell into the hands of his political enemies and the great cry of "defaulter" was started. It was meant for his political destruction, and it was started solely for political gain. Of all human actions, the political prevaricator seldom obtains his end, for while he aims at honor and reputation, he reaps contempt and derision, like Milton's fiend in Paradise. The brightness and prosperity that surround others paines the eyes of the envious politician. It starts the involuntary tear, and casts a gloom over his mind. It brings into action jealousy, revenge, falsehood and all the basest passions of the fallen nature of the political high-binder; it goods him onward with a fearful impetus, like the wild beast of the jungles in search of prey; it runs him against the rocks and dashes him to pieces, and he is left bruised and bleeding. Like Haman he often erects his own gallows in his zeal to hang others. The vulcanized souls of the little ward politicians that converse on nothing but slander may make up the show of this world, but must not be reckoned among the rational inhabitants of it. An evil that starts upon a wrong principal the vital element of which is injustice, must have a vast productive force in creating other evils. Slander and falsehood cower in darkness and blot out all the noble powers of the heart, paralyze its sensibility to human woe, sever the sacred ties that bind man to man, to family, to community, to social order and to his country. It transforms men to brutes and desperadoes. It strips human nature of all its native dignity and makes wild beasts of men. The slanderer, the scavenger of reputation, would gladly witness as a pastime, bull-fights, pugilistic contests; and perhaps his ravenous, craving disposition for excitement could only be satisfied by scenes such as Roman persecutors and heathen spectators formerly feasted upon, in which men and women were torn to pieces by wild beasts. Slander is not merely a perverseness of temper, but it is such a distemper of the mind as disorders all the faculties of it. This slandering business, this scavenger process, this blackening of reputations, commenced with Satan, over in Hell, for when he fell he could see nothing to please him in Paradise so he slandered our first parents when in innocence, and therefore tempted them to sin which ruined them and all the human race. I have often prayed for words of pure hatred, out of which I might construct sentences like scorpions, out of which I might construct sentences like rattlers and tarantulas, out of which I might construct sentences with mouths fanged, that had forked tongues out of which I might construct sentences that writted and hissed, then I could give to the world my opinion of these human vultures, these scavengers of reputation. He who plundered and takes my property, takes from me that which can be repaired by time. He who maims my person affects that which medicine may remedy; but what herb has sovereignty over the wounds of slander? It not only outlaws life but it attains death, converting the very grave, the refuge of the sufferer, into the gate of infamy and shame. Yes, I am for Tom Kelley and I am for the election of the whole Republican ticket, both county and state. The nominees of the Wichita convention are good enough for me. I am for Tom Kelley because, in my judgment, he is a man of culture, intelligence and brains and worthy of any honors this bully young republic can bestow upon him. Believing implicitly in his integrity and loyalty as a man, I would gladly trust him to administer on all the belongings of the great state of Kansas. When the campaign was waxing hot Tom Kelley was heard to make this remark; "So far as I am personally concerned I care but little for those newspaper articles, but, oh, there's my wife and baby!" Now, fellow citizens, I am for the man who loves his family, for this government of ours, the best government in the world, is made up of good families, and any man that has a good, virtuous family and has the love of that family, is a rich man. Joy is wealth, and Love is the only thing in this cold, bitter world of ours, in which the height of extravagance is the last degree of economy, and I have often thought that if a man wants to go to heaven about all he has to do in this world is to love, protect and provide for his wife and baby. Now, it matters not what you may think, or I may think, or the world may think, I know and feel that in the high court of human equity, where conscience sits as judge, Tom Kelley stands acquitted, pure as light and stainless as a star. Mr. Kelley has studied and discussed all the great questions that affect the prosperity and well-being of this great state of Kansas. And intellectually, morally, in gentlemanly instincts and manner, in nobility and persistence of purpose, in devotion to an excellent mission and in succeeds of achievement, he is the peer of those who are moved to wrath by the fact of his political recognition. It is safe to say that the Republican politicians are not so short-sighted as to attempt to defeat him in November next, and if they were they would be unable to do it for he has a grip upon the good will and confidence of the people of the state that no combination of politicians can shake loose if they tried, and there is no indication anywhere that they will trv. W. R. KUYKENDALL. A SOUTHERN MAN'S VIEWS So much has appeared in the public prints touching the various phases of the Negro problem in the South that it is perhaps presumptious to attempt any further contribution to the literature on that subject. Previous discussion, however, seems open to two very serious criticisms,—it has been largely sectional, and, by consequence, it has been for the most part parrisan. Northern writers, with practically no knowledge or experience of actual conditions, have theorized to meet a condition they did not understand. Since emancipation, the Negro has been regarded as the rightful protege of the section that wrought his freedom; and his cause has been championed with a bitter and undiscriminating zeal as earnest as it is misguided. Southern writers, on the contrary, remembering the Negro as the slave, consider him from a position of proud and contemptuous superiority, and would deal with him on the ante-bellum basis of his servile state. The North, with many things in the Southern treatment of the Negro justly open to impeachment, by a general indictment at once weakens its own case and fortifies the evils it seeks to overthrow. The South, in answer to what is unjust in the charge of the North, recalls former days, persuades herself of the righteousness of her cause; and continually recommends herself to an antiquated and unsound policy. Such partisan and sectional discussion cannot fail to be alike bitter and unfruitful. While it may, indeed, have been natural at the close of the civil war that the hostile sections should align themselves in opposition and carry on by the pen, and with a more virulent because impotent animosity, the discussion that had been fought out with the sword, yet now, surely, the time for such recrimination is past. If we are, indeed, one people, United States in more than name only, the problems, perplexities and interests of every section appertain in no slight or trivial measure to the country as a whole. It is true that each section and state and county and township has its own problems,—but the particular problems of the part are the general problems of the whole; and the nation, as a nation, is interested in the administration and concerns of the most insignificant member of the body politic. It would be trite and old-fashioned to apply to ourselves the old fable of the body and its members; but we surely lie open to its application in our treatment of the Negro question. The South has regarded it as a local and not a national matter; has refused to receive any light upon it from outside sources; and has met any suggestions and offers of outside help with a surly invitation to "mind your own business." The North, on the other hand, considering the question in its wider bearings, has approached it from the side of preformed theories, rather than of actual facts; in a spirit of tearful or indignant sentimentality, rather than of calm, unbiased reason; and has therefore proposed remedies that must, in the very nature of things, be at once undesirable and impossible. As is usual in such cases, the truth lies between the two extremes The Negro question is a national one; as much so as the question of the tariff, of immigration, of subsidies, or any such issue that is universally recognized as touching the interests of the whole people. It is but right, therefore, that the solution of the question should command the attention and enlist the interest of the people, regardless of section or party or ante-bellum attitude; and the South has no right to take offense at any well-meant and kindly effort to relieve the situation. But, at the same time, the fact must be recognized that the Negro question is not different from all other questions, does not occupy a place apart, unique, and cannot be dealt with in any other way than the common, rational method applicable to the commonest social and political problem. Ignorance of the facts cannot take the place of knowledge here any more than elsewhere. Sen- ER. NUMBER 25. ugust 4th, to 6th. MAN'S VIEWS Mr. Sledd Discusses the Negro as He Views Him Through His Own Glasses Says the Negro is an Inferior Race Not from Past Conditions of Servitude, But it is Inherent. timent cannot safely here or elsewhere usurp the place of reason. Blindness, prejudice, uncharitableness, vilification, have the same value here as elsewhere, and are as likely to lead to a fair and satisfactory solution-of the Negro problem as of any other—just as likely and no more. We must, as a whole people, candidly and honestly recognize a certain set of underlying facts, which may or may not differ from our theories, cross our sympathies or contravene our wishes. Then we shall be in a position to deal with the question. Now, the fundamental facts to be recognized in the case are these: (1.) The Negro belongs to an inferior race. And this, not by reason of any previous condition of servitude or brutal repression on the part of his former master, whether in the days of slavery or since; not on account of his color or his past or present poverty, ignorance and degradation. These, to be sure, must be reckoned with; but they do not touch the fundamental proposition. The Negro is lower in the scale of development than the white man. His inferiority is radical and inherent, a physiological and racial inequality that may, indeed be modified by environment, but cannot be erased without the indefinite continuance of favorable surroundings and the lapse of indefinite time. But what the Negro may become in the remote future by process of development and selection is not a matter for present consideration. The fact remains that now the Negro race is an inferior race. There can hardly be any need to defend this proposition in these days of the boasted supremacy of, the Anglo-Saxon. Occasionally we hear hysterical utterances by Negroes or by well-meaning, but misguided friends of the race to the effect that the Negro is the equal of any white man anywhere. But in general such ill-advised cant is being laid aside, and the inferiority of the race is coming to be recognized. This is a hopeful sign. And the general recognition of the proper place of the freedman will go far toward adjusting conflicting theories and removing lingering sectional misunderstanding and bitterness. It will do away at once with all those schemes that used to find favor in the North, and are still at times most unwisely advocated, for the establishment of social equality and the amalgamation of the races. Probably no scheme advanced for the solution of this problem has given more lasting offense to the people of the South, or done more to embitter sectional feeling than this of amalgamation. It has been received in the same spirit, and has engendered the same feelings, as a proposition to bring about equality Concluded on Page Two. WILL ACCOMPLISH MUCH GOOD. Negro Educational Congress to Meet in Atlanta, Ga. One of the most interesting events in the history of the Negro race will be the "Young Peoples' Educational Congress," which meets in Atlanta, Ga., August 6 to 11. It will be a gathering of the brains of the race and no doubt will accomplish more for Negro advancement than any gathering that has taken place in years. We are proud of the fact that this paper is among the fortunate journals that have been given a chair at the "presstable," which will be filled by our efficient circulator, Miss Willa Smith, who will leave on the 6th inst., for a tour through the South and a visit to her birth-place in South Carolina. FRIDAY, AUG. 1, 1902 Negro Inferiority. In the Atlantic Monthly for July, Mr. Andrew Sledd writes about "The Negro: Another view." Just who this distinguished gentleman is, we do not know but we must confess to a high appreciation of his candor and frankness in discussing a question which has ever been approached by the Anglo-Saxon with more or less bias, apology and equivocation. In this issue will be found that portion of Mr. Sledd's contribution to current literature which deals with and explains one of the "fundamental facts" in this very important controversy. Mr. Sledd prefaces his discussion of the facts in the case with a contrast of the positions of the people of the North and South on the race problem. From the view point of the Negro the positions of the two contending forces is correctly stated and we go farther and state that neither side fully comprehends the situation from the fact that they do not see the question through the Negro's eyes. The opening paragraphs of Mr. Sledds discussion cannot be regarded other than an apology for conditions brought about through the lack of a perfect knowledge of the real needs of the Negro on the part of the great mass of Northern people who were and are now sincere in their desire to help the race, and the persistent refusal of the Southern white man to regard the Negro and those desirous of aiding him, from other than assumed "positions of proud and contemptuous superiority." In conclusion Mr. Sledd decides that "the Negro belongs to an inferior race." Sectional Efforts. It is unfortunate that all efforts in the direction of awakening in our people proper conception of the duties and responsibilities of freedman and citizenship on the philanthropic and patriotic people of the north has met with a stubborn resistance on the part of the white people of the South. This is clearly demonstrated and set forth in the history of the rise and progress of the "Klux Klans" and similar organizations, whose chief aim and object has been the intimidation of the freedman and any and all who might presume to point him the way out of the darkness and ignorance of slavery. This is as true today as it was in the years immediately following the Emancipation. The position of the North has not been so sectional in its nature as has that of the South. If the effort of the northern philanthropist has not been productive of the best results, it is due largely to the determined opposition of the South. Equality and Amalgamation No two terms seem to have irritated the people of the South as have Negro equality and the very remote probability of legalized amalgamation. There may have been in the early days of emancipation a belief in the minds of some that the demand for the civil rights of the freedman and the granting of the same to him would result in the utter demoralizing of our social system. It was therefore to be strenuously resisted. Later events are proving such fears groundless O. K.

Investigation into current history proves conclusively that education is causing the Negro to be more gregarious in all things than ever obtained under the old regime. Slavery taught the Negroes to distrust one another, to live as so many units, having no moral or social value, except as they served the purpose of their masters. Freedom and education are restoring to our people racial cohesiveness necessarily destroyed by slavery. This is shown in the powerful religious organizations that have grown up since the emancipation: in the multitude of secret societies, and business ventures more or less successful. These necessarily require confidence in one another of a high order. Equality before the law has not resulted in the mad rush of the Negro to the white man's fireside, thereby bringing about the much opposed amalgamation of the races. Intermarrying—A Bugboo. Mr. Sledd cannot resist the temptation to bring extremes together in his sublime effort to prove the inferiority of the Negro. His picture of the New England belle becoming the spouse of "the public scavenger" is decidedly overdrawn, and is far more of an impossibility than the frequent spectacle of a high bred southern gentleman, sah, leaving the chaste couch of his fair Diana to seek the lascivious embrace of a thick lipped, kinky haired Dinah. The records of the sunny south and the unpublished testimony of a million Negro mothers now living will show that the tendency towards racial amalgamation set in long ago from the opposite direction and the multitude of mixed blood today are ample proof that the sons of Japhet have been tampering with the daughters of Ham. There is no proof that white women are borning Negroes. Amalgamatien is a bugboo made use of by the enemies of our people to justify the denial of equal civil and industrial rights. Is the Negro Inferior? The mere assertion on the part of Mr. Sledd that the Negro is inferior proves nothing. This is merely the opinion of an interested participant. That the Negro has not accomplished all he can, no sane man will for a moment contend. The very fact that he has so far overcome the evils of slavery, and has gone forward and not backward since emancipation, proves that he belongs to a race only requiring the vivifying touch of knowledge and an equal chance in the world of labor and business. The Negro who has watched the upward tendency of his peeple in the mass and has seen their methods of thinking and their modes of Everybody is· Saying That the living change from year to year has great hopes for the future. In the general improvement of the race is seen its possibilities. Illustrating the case. There are people who persistently declare that the Negro belongs to an inferior race, and forsooth is incapable of higher development. This class of people belong to the deceased preachers of ante-bellum days, whose sophistry was to justify human slavery in the teachings of the lowly Nazarine. These people refuse to consider the work the race is doing. As an example to illustrate something that the race is doing as a direct refutation of the assumption of racial inferiority. In the July 19th issue of the Outlook we find a story of the Negro Cotton Mill at Concord North Carolina erected at a cost of over $70,000 with a weaving capacity of 40000 yards of cloth per week. Every dollar of capital was drawn from 350 Negro shareholders and every employee is a Negro boy or girl except the manager, a white man from Massachusetts. The superintendent bears testimony of the alertness of the Negro employee and praises his skill and willingness to learn. The Negro is looking for a wider opportunity to develop. A Southern Man's Veiws. and a union between some cultured New England belle and the public scavenger of her city, with all the filth and foulness of his calling on his person and in his blood. The very words are sickening. And the idea, so coarse and repugnant to every finer feeling, could have originated only in the brain of the wildest theorist, ignorant of conditions, and hurried by his negrophile propensities and desire to do justice to the black man into entire forgetfulness of the rights and feelings of the Southern white man. There seems to be no essential condition of casualty between the previous bondage and suffering of the Negro and the assumption by him or for him, on emancipation, of any equality with his former master other than the grand and fundamental equality of man to man before God and the national law. Emancipation could not eradicate the essential inferiority of the Negro. No such conditions existed as in other states of slavery,—in Greece, or Rome, for instance, where the slave was often of kindred blood, and even higher born, better educated, and of finer tastes and feelings than his master. Emancipation there might naturally be followed by an approximate equality between the ex-slave and his former master. But the Negro when enslaved was—a Negro; and the emancipated Negro was a Negro still. Freedom had not made him a new creature. He was, indeed, better than when he entered slavery, but his emancipation had not changed and could not change, the fundamental features, the natural inferiority of the race.

This was decided upon at Leavenworth, last year. Five thousand dollars will procure an excellenthome. We are called upon to send fifty cents per member for the purpose, and if the 5,000 members of our fifty churches were to give the prescribed pro rata, $2,500 would be realized. But let us allow a liberal discount for the children and the disabled members of our churches, by cutting the aggregate in two. We would still have 2,500 members who could contribute 50 cents each, thus realizing $1,250 from the members and children of our churches in this district. A committee was appointed—Rev. J. H. Vanleu, Mrs. M. D. Jones and Hon. H. I. Munroe—to look out site, etc., and report at this session of the association. They have done their work and call upon us to pass upon it. Let us, brethren, come to Topeka and make the Home a reality. Let us provide a Home for our mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers, who for any reason are unfortunate in this life. Let us purchase a $5,000 Home which will be the pride of the denomination and an honor to the race. According to an action of the executive board which met at Osage City, Kas., Nov. 17, 1901, it was decided to ask each church 50 cents a member for the Home, this year. Brethren, let us be true to ourselves, to our God, to our neighbors. Don't ask curious questions but go to work. Religion that doesn't go pocket-deep cannot go heaven-high. Pray, plan and work. Let us collect $1,000 for the Home this year. W. L. Grant H. F. Frazier. J. E. Lewis. H. I. Monroe. G. Mc Neal. J. H. Ramey.

Frank Evans and daughter, Mrs. Minnie Douglass were suddenly called to Valley Falls on account of the serious illness of GARNETT, KANS. KANSAS CITY, MO. ODGER WILLIAMS marks, June 27, and it was ordered printed in the TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. The paper was entitled "Roger Williams—the Pioneer of Religious Liberty." Fellow Representatives: A great life, dedicated to the welfare of religious liberty, here finds its remembrance through the many achievements, through the many deeds of right and justice wrought by the brain, brawn and determination of an immortal being. Architecture has not paid high tribute to this, one liberator of human conscience but never could there be a remembrance more worthily bestowed or more gratefully accepted than that of Roger Williams the pioneer of religious liberty and the liberator of independent human conscience. History marks his career as having existed during the age of confusion, vile corruptness and base ignorance but there was not a man more adapted through his pugnacious disposition and his invincible determination could have trod the precious footsteps of our great and noble deliverer. It was an age when the Reformation, the Puritan Revolution and the establishment of Religious Liberty were the important stages in the development of freedom from Medieval despotism to the modern and present recognition of the inalienable rights of man. There are links in the chain of history stretching from the reign of Henry VIII to the adoption of the constitution of the U. S. The leaders of these three-Epochs, the Reformation, the Puritan Revolution, and establishment of Religious liberty were Martin Luther, Cromwell and Roger Williams. It was a time when oratorical pleadings for freedom and justice were not considered only to an extent extremely limited; but this unbounded desire possessed by him to break down the bonds of tyranny and tear apart the partition which shuts the worshipers of Cod from the light of religious rights and freedom enabled him to reclaim liberty and conscience by separating the functions of church and state. We may picture him in his greatness not only as a man of war for conscience sake but likewise in connection with his many labors as a scholar, author and instructor. As a teacher he was sympathetic, deep and profound. Some of the fundamental principles upon which this man worked are, "that no human power had the right to intermeddle in matters of conscience and that neither church nor state, neither bishop nor king may prescribe the smallest iota of religious faith," for these principles of instruction he maintained that the individual man alone is responsible to God. From England to Massachusetts came this remarkable liberator and baptist forerunner about the year 1630, accompanied by such noble followers as John Hooker; determined men to follow him through every controversy in wiping out soul oppression from the very face of existence. Conflicts and controversy came between church and king against the teachings of Roger Williams, they came not singly but many fold; John Cotton and Thomas Hooker, fearing the wrath of the king and his followers, withdrew their alliance with Williams and taking sides with barbarous tyranny were sent at the head of a body of ministers to censure him. But this man of brain, this man of reason could not allow such flimsy creatures clothed in human weakness to influence and dictate to him. Mr. Williams, having met this body of ministers completely confounded them, denied their spiritual diction and declared his determination to remove the yoke of soul oppression. He lived and wrote in company with such men as Milton and Cromwell; in his home he was active, gentle and kind; but in his public life he was strong in endurance pugnacious and undaunted in controversy. It appears to me though he has laid aside human existence some two hundred years past, that like the slaves who bore the yoke of slave oppression for so many years we have been set free to act and to worship as we choose, in as much we feel that the life time and deeds of some individual has been sacrificed in behalf of the unlimited freedom which we now enjoy. A great life never dies. Great names are immortal. He was of a nature invincible yet calm and con- A GRAND AFFAIR.... The Twenty-third Kansas Reunion Leavenworth, Kas., Aug., 2, 3, 4, 1902. LIEUT. S. T. JONES, --- fident, he was so true, determined and uncompromising that his name will stand for all time as the imbodiment of the great cause for which he labored—religious liberty, loyalty and national unity. Poets, philosophers, deep and sound thinkers in every sphere have long since come to the conclusion that the proper study of man is man. Rhode Island holds in keeping the precious dust of the silent liberator, but the achievements which he has wrought for the religious liberty of mankind are in the keeping of seventy millions of American people and worshipers. 777 DIRECTORY 333 All lodges will please send in the time and place of meeting, accompanied by the $1:00 subscription.
