THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. THAT INDEPENDENT DODGE VOLUME IV. Hon. W. W. Fisher Lands a Solar Plexus Upon That Terrible Monster Kelley and the Entire Republican Host State and County Will Be Elected by an Overwhelming Majority. The independent movement in the politics of Shawne county is the outgrowth, as such movements generally are, of an intense desire of certain defunct and self seeking politicians who, for their own ends of private ambition, are willing to resort to any means which will give to them the control of the political machinery. The promoters of such so-called reforms set themselves up as being the only decent and patriotic citizens. Party loyalty and party realty have no place in their affections; these are all thrown to the winds in their desire to serve and save the "dear people" from the moral and financial disaster which will surely follow their defeat. For the corsummation of this most laudable cause, espoused by the self styled paragons of virtue in the county of Shawnee, all good, loyal Republicans, Democrats, Populists and what not are importuned to cast their votes against the regular Republican nominees for sheriff and county attorney, respectively. The claim that Galen Nichols is not the regular nominee of the Republican party is the sheerest nonsense. It is a well known fact that no one opposed him in the primary. The most laughable and false contention advanced by the "bolters" is that the early call of the primaries "forestalled organization" on their part against him. Everybody knows that their organization against him brought out a Democrat two years ago. The climax of the ridiculous, however, is reached when they add to the flimsy excuse for their opposition to him the statement that the matter of electing delegates to the State convention, in connection with nominating a county attorney, complicated them to so great an extent as to render them irrational, in which state they were kept until Nichols was nominated—hence their failure to bring out an opponent to him. Now, really, do they believe themselves? Where is the complication of having two tickets in the field? The fact is, they have no reason to offer for their nonsupport of Galen Nichols. If he were guilty of malfeasance in office, they have a remedy, but no one brings action of that kind. Bert Lucas is as truly the nominee for sheriff as is Bowen for treasurer or Marshall for register of deeds. The voters of this county know too well for comment in these columns under whose advice the county central committee called the primaries in which those nominations were made; and why they held over. It is also a well known fact that no Republican who so desired was barred from entering the primaries in which these men were nominated. Lucas was nominated over his opponent by a large majority and deserves the united and loyal support of every loyal Republican of Shawnee county. As yet he is not on trial for his record as sheriff, not having been elected to that position. We have all confidence in his integrity and upon the question of his Republicanism there is not the slightest doubt. In our opinion, no reforms are necessary in the Republican politics of this county, and we are, upon general principles, opposed to any system of espionage. True reforms cannot be produced by watchfulness over others. Man is made to be guided and governed by his own conscience. In fact, the natural position of man is not in looking after others, but in taking care of himself. Such moral action is healthful and attended with no danger. Every man is the best guardian of his own morals. The habit of acting as the censor of the actions of other people is apt to beget habits of self. righteousness and deceit which are neither profitable to their possessor nor edifying to those whom he endeavors to reform. Organization on one side produces organization on the other. There is nothing of which mankind is more jealous than any interference with individual action. No man was ever dragooned into goodness. The plain duty of the Republican party is to support the ticket from top to bottom, both in county and state. Crush this independent monster which threatens the very life of Republicanism in this, once the banner Republican county of the state! Shoot! shoot it with your ballots! Aim at its very vitals. Place it in the catacombs of Shawnee county politics so that its repose will be calm and undisturbed. W. W. FISHER. Do not allow bolters and kickers to disrupt the party. Shawnee county is all O. K. The entire ticket in this county will be elected—nonsense to think otherwise. Look out for the next legislature; legislative appropriation and legislation for this county is needed, and disruptionism cannot effect any good for the people since straight Republicans control our legislature. Defeat our ticket and you will have no legislation in our interest. Let all loyal Republicans wake up and be abreast of the times. Look out for breakers! Good people abide their time. Those who are abusing the nominees on the Republican ticket have skeletons in their closets. We do not care to sling mud, but if you must have it we will give it to you strong. The laborers, merchants and all honest professional men and taxpayers should run the government. We love the ministry which preaches from their pulpits the doctrines of Christ, but we do not approve of them stirring up strife among the people. If you can't convert them your way don't abuse them. All persons have a right to think and speak for themselves so long as they do not breed contempt for the others. We have nominated our ticket; now, let us stand by it. All on the ticket are good men. There is no reason why any special fight should be made on Lucas and Nichols, because they are popular with the people. Nichols has made a first class county attorney; Lucas has not been tried, but the people have said they were willing to trust him. Now, let us do that—vote the ticket straight and get your neighbor to do likewise. Remember, we must have legislation this winter and fighting one another won't get it. We shall make it our especial business to look after Republicans who are now kicking. Honest Tom Kelly has put a knotty question to his enemies to solve. If he is guilty and it took ten years for the Board of Commissioners to find it out it speaks very poorly for their executive ability, or they must have been in the steal. An expert examined the records just after he retired and said all was well and the Board declared that Mr. Kelly was straight in his accounts. How can a county clerk raise warrants without the knowledge of the board of commissioners and the county attorney, or without their finding it out? The board should know the amount allowed each quarter. The county treasurer should know the amount paid out. If the board ordered $10,000 paid out in one quarter the treasurer would know if he paid out $12,000. If $20,000 is in the treasury that quarter, and ten thousand is ordered paid out, and the clerk raised his warrants to twelve thousand it seems that the commissioners and treasurer should have known that in ten years. The taxpayers of Miami county ought to have the commissioners arrested for aiding and abetting in either stealing, lying or incompetency! Any Fifth Grade scholar can see that this attack on Kelley is all buncome and rot. We wish the public to know that this is a nasty, stinking fight within the party and it all originated in the senatorial fight, save a little from the gubernatorial contest. At this time it is dog eat dog: stare TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 5, 1902. back and see the fur fly. 'Tom Kelly is honest. All know and concede that this attack is only spite work. The PLAINDEALER man knows all about it. Keep still; we may tell some day. Tom is all O. K. and a yard wide. If he were not so these fellows would have told you so long, long ago. It don't take ten years to find out if a man has committed a crime. Old Uncle Abe said, "You can fool some people all the time; but not all the people all the time." Vote for Honest Tom, your money will be safe. Don't be alarmed by false prophets. In our write-up of county officials last week we omitted one of the best men on the ticket—I. S. Curtis, for clerk of the District court, known as "Shell." He is one of the best known men in the county, having filled the position of deputy in the office for twenty years. He is an old soldier, having gone to the front in '63, when his country needed him. A stalwart Republican, you can always know where to find him. He deserves the office from every standpoint, as a man, as a citizen, and as a Republican. He is the poor man's friend, the Negro's friend, bred and born that way and don't have to run for an office to prove his friendship to them. When you vote for him you vote for a man, a Republican and a gentleman. You can always bet on "Shell" Curtis. Register! Every body register! This is a fight between men and pedagogues, Save and reduce taxes by voting the straight Republican ticket of Shawnee. We have had enough of Carrie Nation and her ilk, let's down them. We cannot stand for Carrie Nation's petticoat crowd in this county. Drive them to the wall; hoot them out of existence. Disturbers of the public peace are detrimental to good government. These howls do not build cities but destroy them with confusion. Our county is growing and prospering, let it continue to grow. N. C. ASKING FOK PATERNAL RIGHTS. The Washington Times of Tuesday, Aug. 28th, contains the following which will be of interest to our readers: Frank P. Davis, colored, a druggist through Attorneys D. Glassie and T. L. Jones, yesterday petitioned the Supreme court of the District of Columbia to restrain Lucy Catherine Davis from interfering with him in his paternal rights to the care and custody of his son Messer. The petitioner and the defendant were married June 11th, 1894 and have one son, Messer, who was born in 1895. In the following year, Davis, with his wife and child, moved to Kansas, where he was engaged in the drug business until April, 1900. Then he came to Washington and joined with his brother. Dr. W. H. Davis, in the drug business at Eleventh and U streets, Northwest. He avers that he furnished a comfortable home for his wife and child, and that they lived happily together until about October, 1900, when the defendant left home without cause Mrs. Davis has taught school at Wilmington, Del., and Enfield, N. C. since the separation. It develops that in October, 1901, she filed a petition for divorce in the Shawnee county, Kas., courts and was granted her decree with the custody of the child. Mr. Davis now charges that his wife's allegation that she was a resident of Shawnee county was false, and as the judge of the 3rd judicial district of Kansas, who granted the divorce, had no jurisdiction the proceedings were therefore null and void. The plaintiff says that "the defendant looks for the early return from Manila of one Captain Young, who, it is alleged, will marry her and take said defendant and plaintiff's son with him back to Manila." Mr. Davis asks the care of his son and wants the defendant and her kinspeople restrained and enjoined from interfering with his paternal right. It is also requested that plaintiff may have other and further relief in the premises as the exigencies of the course may warrant and institute. The Capital City club, composed of Topeka's leading business, professional, and society men, has recently re-organized for the season of 1902 03, with most flattering prospects for a highly successful season. The officers recently elected are as follows; E. S. Lee, Pres., S. G. Watkins, Vice-pres., A. M. Thomas, Sec., John Odell. Treas. Messrs. A. T. Allan, Wm Johnson and Geo. Gray, trustee. The committees appointed for the many social events to be given during the season consists of the following gentlemen: amusement, John Odell and John Page: Reception, Lewis North, James Beck and Gaither Page: Membership, Sim McCarrol, Ira Guy and Thomas McCampbell. The push and vim displayed by the membership of the re organized club comes as a pleasant disappointment to those who feared this club was to share the fate of the clubs of the past, which died a natural death as a result of the apathy and half-heartedness of the members of those social efforts of the past. The reason for the difference is not hard to find, for it is a well known fact that there was an absolute lack of business methods in the conducting of these clubs, and in this one everything is on a sound business basis, and it is being conducted as are the white clubs of the same nature, on strictly business lines. The members recognizing this fact are enthusiastic in their support and it is a daily occurrence to find a merry crowd of jolly sociable fellows enjoying an evening of pleasure at innocent games, spinning yarns, reading, etc., at the spacious and nicely furnished club parlors at 413 Kansas Ave. The plans for social enjoyment are very elaborate and will consist of the following special features; twice during each month the club will give an up to date ball, to which only club members and their ladies and out of town visitors will be invited. One evening in each week will be set aside for the entertainment of ladies, on which evenings the ladies will be entitled to all the privileges of the club. Billards, ping-pong, cards, music, dancing, etc. will constitute the amusements and light refreshments will be served on these occasions. An elaborate ball is being arranged to be given on Friday evening, Sept. 19, opening the season, and the members of the club promise that it shall be the sweliest social event colored society has ever known in Topeka. The club is in thriving, prosperous condition, the membership, limited to one hundred, is full and many dissapointed persons are on the "eligible list" anxiously waiting for some one to drop out and give them a chance to get in. THE PLAINDEALER extends congratulations and hearty well wishes to the Capital City Club and its hustling members. Rev. W. L. Grant's Engagements. Rev. W. L. Grant has received invitations to deliver addresses at the following named places: Wamego, Warrensburg, Oswego, Lenapah, I. T., Topeka, Joplin, Beatrice, Neb., Davenport, Iowa, and Colorado Springs, Colo., but owing to illne she has declined all but two.

POLITICAL MEETING Last Monday night at a meeting of members of the Curtis and Roosevelt clubs at Chiles hall it was decided to call a meeting at the same place Sept. 8 to organize a general Fifth ward Republican club. There will be election of officers; and other business pertaining to the organization will be transacted. Last week the Prince Hall Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Mason's, the Prince Hall Grand Commandery of Knights Templar, and the Prince Hall Grand Lodge, A. F. & A. M., was held in Kansas City. This meeting was in many respects the most distinguished body of Negroes that meet in this state. It contained representative Negroes from all walks in life. The representatives in the various departments were earnest men, sincerely anxious to do their duty as they understood it. The Grand Chapter of Royal Arch Masons was convened in the Tabernacle of Mt. Olive Chapter No. 4, Monday, August 25th, at 9 o'clock A. M., sharp, with the Grand High Priest, Albert James Gilmore, of Leavenworth, presiding. The short time allotted to the work of the Chapter rendered it very necessary that the business should be dispatched rapidly. The annual address of the Grand High Priest was well prepared and revealed a full knowledge of the work of his jurisdiction. One new chapter was reported, from Winfield, Kansas. The reports from all sources indicated a growth in membership and interest. The outlook for this department is good. Companion A. J. Gilmore was reelected Grand High Priest; Allen Peter Smith, of Topeka, Deputy G. High Priest; C. E. Lett, of Atchison Grand King; J. T. Chinneth, Grand Scribe; F. M. Stonestreet, of Topeka, Grand Treasurer; and J. H. Childers, Grand Secretary. The Ninth Annual Session of the Grand Commandery of Knights Templars for the jurisdiction of Kansas was opened in the Asylum of Royal Path Commandery No. 2. on Tuesday, August 26th, at 9 o'clock a.m., and received the Most Eminent Grand Commander, Solomon H. Thompson and the corps of Grand Commandery officers. In his Annual Address to the Grand Encampment the Grand Commander JUDGE I. F. BRADLEY urged upon the commanders present the importance of observing the dignity of their position and to live higher and nobler lives because their profession of faith demanded this of them. He reported the work to be in excellent condition, and made some important recommendations. His address was one of the most brilliant papers delivered before this gathering of Masons, and received the closest attention. Many visiting Sir Knights were present, among whom was Most Eminent Sir Peter Harris, Past Grand Commander of Missouri, who aided much in the deliberations of the encampment by his wise counsel. The reports of various committees was full and complete. Sir James Monroe Mason, of Topeka, was elected Grand Commander, Sir Henry Hamilton Hill, of Leavenworth, Deputy Grand Commander; Sir Christopher Eugene Lett; of Atchison, Grand Generalismo; Sir John Thomas Chinneth, of Wichita, Grand Captain General; Sir Organ Davis, of Kansas City, Grand Prelate; Sir Reuben Joy Smith, of Leavenworth Grand Treasurer; Sir J. Hume Childers, of Topeka, Grand Recorder. On Wednesday, August 27th, the Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge A. F. & A. M., was convened in the hall of four Masonic lodges of Kansas City. Fifty of the sixty-three chartered lodges were present when NUMBER 34. The Negro Masons of Kansas and Jurisdiction Hold an Interesting and Profitable Session in Kansas City Many Sir Knights Participated in the Grand Imposing Parade. the Grand Lodge was declared open for work. Interest in the Grand Lodge work centered in the election of Grand Officers and the adoption of the revised constitution. Mucn valuable time was spent on Wednesday and Thursday by aspirants sparring for positions. By three o'clock Thursday afternoon the advocates of the anti-Watkins movement thought they saw a chance to win by forcing the election. The election was held Thursday, at 3.30 p.m., and resulted in the election of S. G. Watkins, Grand Master; A. M. Wilson, of F. Scott, Deputy Grand Master, C. E. Lett, Atchison, Senior Grand Warder; J. T. Like, of Leavenworth, Junior Grand Warden; I. F. Bradley, of Kansas City, Grand Treasurer; and H. H. Curtis, of Baxter Springs, Grand Secretary. The reports from the various committees showd the craft to be in a prosperous condition, although the "W. and O. Fund" showed a falling off of over $200. Five new lodges were reported. The new Constitution declared adopted by a majority vote, is said to be a fine document but the jurisdiction has yet to know it. The mist ke made is imposing these laws upon the craft without their knowledge and consent. Sixteen deaths were reported, to the beneficiaries of whom were paid $1,600. In order to meet any possible deficit $400 was transferred from the General Fund to the "W. and O. Fund" and the monthly assessment was raised from ten to fifteen cents per capita. The next meeting of the Masonic bodies will be held in Emporia in August, 1902. Much credit and praise is dueto the entertaining committee of the Kansas City brethren for the pleasant arrangements. At eleven o'clock on Friday the Grand Lodge, escorted by the Grand Commandery under command of Sir J. H. Childers as Captain General, marched to Kerr's park, where picnicing and amusements consumed a portion of the day. Messrs. Gomble, Jennings, Squire Lee R. C. Clark, and all the local committee worked earnestly for the pleasure of their host of visitors. It was the largest session of the Grand Lodge in its history. THE TRUE ELEVEN. The Ministers of the Gospel in good standing in their churches are taking advantage of the True Eleven invitation to attend the Supreme Council or Imperium at Topeka, Sept. 22, 23, and 24. They are applying to Dr. W. H. Hudson, Atchison, Kans. for their "Post-Port". Others are requested to send for Post-Ports at once. This will be the largest and most serious council on racial affairs ever held in the state. The true picture of our race will be sincerely taken up and confidentially behind closed doors, and no true member of the race will do other than acquiesce or shout, Amen! This body of workers know they are striving for the right. They believe God is on their side and the accomplishment of much continued good, in the tribulations, oppression and mal-treatment, is within their grasp. This is the only secret society in the west working distinctively for the protection and elevation of the race. Let every Negro who is not a Hudan praise them. FRIDAY, SEPT. 5, 1902 Dear Roasts Lowery. Darlington, S.C., Aug. 19, '02. Rev. I E. Lowery, Editor Southern Reporter, Charleston, S. C. Dear Sir—When you visited me in Charleston, at the residence of Mr. J. C. V. Cannon, 187 Cannon street, on July 30th last, you voluntarily and gratuitously stated that John G. Capers offered to "subsidize" your paper and you replied that your paper was not to be bought. I asked you in what respect did he seek to buy your influence? Your reply was. "Against you and the cause which you represent, and in his (Capers') interest." At the Mission hall meeting that same night you asked me what had the Reporter done in fighting Koester? About the same moment someone in the audience enquired if Koester had not attempted to purchase you, and you again assented without reservation. I understand that the next morning Capers 'saw' you, "called your bluff" and the bargain was consummated. You evidently had faith in Lord Lytton when he wrote: *"If you find men worth nothing* *Why don't you die-piece them?* *And what proves them worth nothing?* *Why, nobody buys them.* This is self evident from the fact that from a staunch "Deas' supporter" and organization man, you became just what you said Capers wanted you to be, viz.; a renegade and traitor. In your issue of Aug. and, your report of the meeting praised Capers and misrepresented me in almost every particular. Having "seen the light" next day as before stated, you falsely stated that I did not spare Cunningham and Harris, when as a matter of fact I only named those gentlemen as two of the five really Republican appointments made by Mr. Roosevelt. In your issue of August 16th, in arraigning the New York Age for stigmatizing Capers as the South Carolina Democratic member of the Republican National committee and assuming that Hon. J. W. Lyons, of Georgia, should challenge his (Capers) membership on said committee, you got into a perfect frenzy and pretended that the Age was touching your loyalty instead of your pocket nerve. You stated that Capers had been identified and voting with the Republican party for years. Parson, did you get your information from Capers? His record proves the contrary, as I showed at the Charleston meeting, and am ready to produce at any time. At the time of his appointment he was a non-resident and carpet barger, who was forced to leave this state for fraudulently "appropriating" the pension allowance of an old soldier whose attorney he was. This I have already explained in detail at several public meetings. The records of the Greenville court, Nov. 1893, will prove what I have stated, and if he a District attorney will dare to remove the nolle prosequi of a former Democratic attorney, entered at the instance of his friends, I think that Capers can be convicted of one of his crimes. If he was innocent why did he make restitution rather than face a trial by a jury of his peers? Why? Because conscience make cowards of us all. Another piece of information, furnished you by office holders and the chronic office seekers of Charles ton, that Capers could not have been appointed had I convened the State Executive Committee and recommended a successor to Mr Webster instead of running around the state seeking endorsements to have myself appointed. The fact is there was no necessity for a meeting of the State committee as the endorsement of a majority of said committee was suffioient and especially since immediate action was required, as within twenty minutes after Webster's death the same was communicated to Capers, then in Washing ton, and immediately Capers and McLaurin laid siege to Mr. Hanna to secure Capers the appointment, this notwithstanding the fact that Crosby Bros.

For information address the Committee. the body of President McKinley was lying in the cabinet, cold in death. He claimed that Mr. Hanna had promised to appoint him whether endorsed by the State committee or not, but advised him to secure such endorsement if possible. He immediately telegraphed his friends to set about securing such endorsements and at once started for South Carolina himself. We concluded therefore, to beat the McLaurin-Capers combination to the Committee, and succeeded so well that Capers received two endorsements and I had eighteen. The above facts were communicated to one of the most responsible gentlemen in this state by Capers himself on the train from Washington to Charleston and we stand ready to prove what we assert. We followed in Capers' footsteps and beat him at his own game. Now, parson, this is only the beginning of the muddle you are getting yourself into in trying to serve your very valuable master, and you must be more careful in future not to "stand where the money is" and at the same time pretending to act honorably. Don't longer be a fawning hypocrite as you have proved yourself in this matter and God may forgive you for your falsehood and treachery. Respectfully, JEFFERSON CITY, MO.

We further recommend, that the colored teachers as far as possible make strenuous efforts and sacrifices to attend the annual session of the Lincoln Institute Summer School. That we also most heartily thank the good people of Jefferson City for their courtesy and hospitality shown us during our stay here. Committee—Prof. I. J. Hicks, Chairman, Mexico, Mo., Miss Mary F.

Poor boys, in their mind's eye, they can see the busy streets of prosperous old Topeka and long to be here. They would have returned Monday only for fear of their companions "giving them the laugh." Come back boys, every one promises to let you down easy! The ball game Monday morning between the "Topeka Union" and "The Nine Bees" was one of the most hotly contested games ever witnessed in Topeka—both sides giving an errorless exhibition of the great national game. They played ball from the opening until the close or the game, which resulted in a tie, the score standing 2 and 2. On account of the game between the T. B. C. and I the Asylum, the tie could not be played off. The T. B. C. plays a good, stiff game, but whether they can beat a team composed of the best men taken from the "Uniou" and "The Bees" is something we will have to be shown: ST.JOHN'S A·MECHURCH Rev. A. M.

In all his travels over the state, not a single complaint has been registered against him, but his plain, h nest and straightforward method has extracted words of commendation and respect from all sides. We like Mr. Ross, and at any time he may feel inclined to take up newspaper work again, he can consider his services engaged. A PLEASANT TRIP. One of the most enjoyable trips that has fallen to a colored man was that enjoyed by Mr. Charles Mayhew, who accompanied the Topeka Elks to Salt Lake City, Utah In speaking of the colored people of Salt Lake City, Mr. Mayhew says that they are all prosperous and have good, well paying, positions and are placing their hard-earned dollars in a manner that will prove profitable to them; in buying houses, and building up property and character. He says that at no time in his life had he been better treated than by the colored people of Salt Lake. Owing to the fact that the prince of royal entertainers, W. W. Taylor, was in attendance on the Grand Lodge of Masons he did not meet him. A day in Ogden was very pleasantly spent. Very few colored people reside here, but the few with whom he came in contact were prosperous and making commendable strides in the field of labor. In Denver, the metropolis of the "mighty West," was one of the most enjoyable stops of the whole trip. Here he was royally received and entertained by several of his old-time friends.
