THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. "I Will Sign Honest Tom Kelly's Bond for One Million Dollars and Qualify for Two."—C. J. Devlin Knockers, Please Go 'Way Back and Sit Down. VOLUME IV. His Scurrilous Attack Upon His Race in the Topeka Capital is Handled Without Gloves He Defends the So Called Republicans in the Southern States and Damns His Own Race. Below we reproduce an article from the Topeka Capital of Sept. 19, signed by one S. G. Watkins, who has taught in the schools of this city for the past seventeen years and at every opportunity he is writing some scurrilous article about his race and sympathizing with the Negro's enemies by finding fault. The heading of hrs article, "Whose Fault Is It?" starts out upon the ignoring of the Negro Republicans by the "lily whites" in Alabama and North Carolina, and justifies his argument by blaming the Negro at the North. What has the tough element of the Negro to do with the elimination of men like ex-Congressman White, Cheatham and scores of bright, intelligent men in the South any more so than the tough whiteman has to do with Morgan, of Alabama, and scores of other white men who not only clamour for right but will fight for it? The quicker we stop recognizing such "white folk's niggers" as this man Watkins, which is the familiar term used to describe such jold fossils, the better it will be for the whole race. The following is his outburst of a abuse: HOSE FAULT IS IT. "Editor of the Capital. "I gladly accept your generous offer and shall present some thought in regard to my people. I have waited hoping some one else would take up the same subject and present some ideas on a matter that certainly demands attention. "There are many things happening just now that should set every colored man thinking to a purpose. "In the South prejudice has always been very strong against us. It does not seem to be decreasing there now; while it is certainly greatly increasing at the North. The Republican party has heretofore been our friend everywhere, and is still our friend in the North, but in the South even that party has turned from us and refuses to recognize us as a political factor. "Mob violence is increasing everywhere. Our lives are not us sacred as they were a few years ago. "Here is a condition that requires serious consideration. Are we in any way responsible for this condition? If we are, then to what extent and what is the remedy? Have we contributed to this prejudice and have we helped to bring about this state of affairs? If we are not directly responsible, have we done all we can to improve ourselves along those lines to which so much objection is made? "In answering these questions let us be fair and take an impartial and unprejudiced view of the situation. "There are certain qualities which a people must possess and certain conditions which they must attain in order to be respected and treated as a people should be. "In the first place, our lack of union is a great drawback. The world respects force and force comes from being united. We are today farther apart than any other class of people in the United States. Everybody seems to be going his own way and Satan takes the hindmost. "The morals of a people are a standard by which they are justly judged. After thirty-seven years of citizenship, have we advanced morally as we ought? The great majority have made considerable advancement, but there is an element among us that is far more immoral and vicious than any of us were thirteen years ago. It is this immoral, tough element among us here in the North that is causing this increase of prejudice. Take it right here in our own community, we have as fine a class of colored people as can be found anywhere, but the tough element is often more in evidence than the good. The good people are at their work earning an honest living while the tough, immoral element is parading the avenue seeking whom it may devour. Are we doing anything to rid the land of this bad element? I fear not." He says prejudice has always been against us in the South, and if this be true why is it our fault? If a person has been the enemy of one all their lives, it is expected that they will do all in their power against them, so there is no escape from ill treatment for the Negro if the statement of the learned professor is true. That the Republican party in the South has turned from us is a falsehood woven from whole cloth and shows that he is densley ignorant of the political status of today. The Negro is the bullwark of the Republican party in the South and has been since the days of Grant. A few Democrats who want the Federal patronage in the South, and are tired seeing the Negro held these positions are trying to break into the places by "soft soaping" the Northern Republicans into ignoring the Negro and we will vote your ticket. We are sorry, but this seems to be the policy of the Northern Republicans. The Negroes have supported this party when they were shot down at the ballot box, ku-kluxed and driven out of the country, and are to this day standing by the flag of Lincoln, Garfield and Grant, and if either of these men was alive and filling the presidential chair, this man Watkins would not be picturing the dark side of the Negro, but would be either exercising rights of an honest or dishonest man, we do not know which, at the dictates of his conscience and without hesitancy. After thirty-seven years of freedom he says we have not advanced morally. This is another place where we fear his own half-bushel has been used to measure the other fellow's grain. When our people were in bondage, they were forced to yield to the wickedness of the slave owner, but today our women are on a par with those of any race. When a man so far forgets himself as to question the virtue and morals of the females of his race, especially one who is employed, to teach them, he should not be allowed to continue as a teacher. Mothers and fathers, what think you of a man who will rush into public print and say to the world that your daughter, whom you love and are directing in the path of right, is down in the scale scale of morality? Think of it! Does this sort of a man, who is issuing a license to men to insult our mothers, sisters and wives by saying their standard of virtue is low, deserve to be kept at the public crib and fed from the profits of people whom he says do not possess character and virtue? If our mothers, sisters and wives are immoral, why does he associate with them and belong to their institutions? The following is another one of his out-bursts: "I am told, and the information seems to be reliable, that there are places here in our city, run by men who claim to be our leaders, where young men and boys in their teens are taught to drink, to gamble, to play policy and to do all other bad things; places where our boys are being educated for the reform school, the penitentary, to steal, to rob and to murder; places where young, innocent, virtuous girls are enticed and when they come out they are neither innocent nor virtuous." We asked Chief Donovan if he knew of any such places and he said he did not, but knew of white people being driven out of the city for keeping such resorts. Ex-Chief Stahl found a place where several young white girls were being enticed for immoral purposes and he drove the people out of the city. We will pay to our colored Orphan's Home $10.00 for the name of a single place in this city where Negro girls are being enticed for immoral purposes. Now, "Mr. Defamer" of Negro character and virtue, speak up, and if you cannot, give up your position and leave the city. This is a proposition to you, Prof. Solomon G. Watkins. We will venture the assertion that the majority of the boys and girls sent to the reformatory, school at Beloit, and penitentiary were pupils in his school. Now hecharges their downfall to places that do not exist. The charge of being a leader can easily be traced to his own door. He is giving advice through the newspapers, a teacher in the public schools and head of one of the leading organs. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 26, 1902. zations in Kansas, therefore he should not try to get away from the fact that he is a leader. Now we will see what kind of anexample he is setting for those he is teaching, leading and giving advice. Sol. G. Watkins has been teaching in the public schools of Topeka over seventeen years, during which time $20,000 has passed into his till for services rendered. We have never heard of his loosng money in an investment or business venture of any character, and after a diligent inquiry we find that he has purchased a piece of property valued at $1,000, and if there is anything else we have been unable to discover it. Upon looking in book 274, page 162, we find that he is indebted to the Capital Building association in the sum of $300, payable at $6,51 per month, lot No. 143 Polk street. If this is the kind of man to give advice we do not need it. If he could not make a showing with $20,000, what does he expect of our men who work in the ditch for $1.25 per day and the women who wash for 75c and all having large families to educate and supbort. We can find scores of them who are head and shoulders above this discipline of hypocrisy. He has never had a coal shed erected by a colored or white man in all these years. He could have taken Dr. Sheldon's advice and rented a few vacant lots planted garden truck and furnished employment for some of the pupils, or kept some of the boys out of those places that he claims are teachieg them to be gamblers, murderers, etc. Is there anything in the career of a man who made a small fortune, and never lost a dollar in business ventures, and yet has not a shelter free from incumbrance? What has he done with the earnings of all these years? Would you like for your son or daughter to follow his foot-steps? He has never put a single project in operation wherein the young Negro could receive employment and better his condition, but he can always be found in the back-ground registering a vigorous kick. Such fellows who are long on giving advice and short on taking some themselves, are very poor people from whom to receive advice. The Negro must learn to love and respect those of the race who are making places for their children by investing their money and opening business establishments; those who are trying to accumulate wealth—not the fellow that talks and does nothing. He howls about morality, which we don't think he ought to mention. We cannot see wherein he has been a beacon light for either old or young. If statements are true, and we have no right to doubt them, his standing on that question will not bear inspection, and if true, he should be ousted from the position he now holds in the public schools. When it becomes notorious concerning certain facts, then the public will begin to say it is time. The St. John A. M. E. church which is struggling to get out of debt, wanted a board of trustees who would point out some way to unload their burden and this man, Prof. Solomon Watkins was one of the men selected to be a member of the trustee board. No sooner was he elect ed than he began a disturbance, as did old satan in heaven. The church had to dethrone him from the trustee board in order to save the church and its members, yet he succeeded in taking a few of the old land-marks with him. Since his dethronement the church is progressing nicely with two of our young men who are teachers in the public schools, and they have more of this world's goods than this man who has taught seventeen years and received $20,000 for his services; they were pupils when he was teaching. At one time he was a shining light in the Knight and Daughters of Tabor, and for his misguidance he was dethroned from that order, but in his fall, he succeeded in breaking up one Temple. Is this the kind of leader the Negroes want to advise them? Will give $10.00 if he can show an article written by him for the daily papers in the past year showing the bright side of the Negro. We have conclusive proof that he is not the man we want in the public schools. He says we are farther apart than ever. How close has he been in the advancement of the race? What has been his attitude in the Lowman Hill school fight, and which way has he given his influence in this matter? He has opposed every colored man that has run for office in the state and Shawnee county, except when he was a candidate himself, and met overwhelming defeat. We never see men like Prof. W. T. Vernon, of Western University; Prof. Carter, of the Topeka Industrial school; Dr. Hudson, founder of the True Eleven, Rev. W. L. Grant, Modarator, Northwestern Baptist association and promoter of the old folks' home parading the dark side of the Negro in the newspapers. Our enemies among the whites parade the bad qualities of the race before the world, and blame all of the good ones by putting them in Jim Crow cars. Watkins should be compelled to halt. A Young Man CUMBERLAND BAND TOPEKA MAN CUMBERLAND BOY BAND—THE LABOR OF G. A. BIGBEE Pays a Deserving Tribute to a Just and Worthy Organization—He is a Friend of the Negro. Boys who are just at that age where their characters are rapidly shaping and where the impressions of the world which they receive are not readily shaken off, should be given something to amuse and interest them bring them into manhood as good citizen. It is the duty of men and women who have the welfare of their country at heart, to lend their efforts to giving assistance to boys at this age. It is generally only the man with plenty of means who undertakes such a work and in a majority of cases, his work is poorly done because he lacks a knowledge of what is necessary. The Cumberland band is an organization that is doing a great deal in the way of assisting the colored boys of Topeka to develop into good men. This organization was formed by G. A. Bigbee from the members of his Sunday School class in the 2nd Cumberland Presbyterian church. Mr. Bigbee is a poor man, working on a salary, and his efforts are the more commendable because of his limited mezes. The band was organized with but six members, each of whom pledged himself to work for the best interest of the organization. The organization was effected March 10, 1902 and a set of second-hand instruments which cost $83.50 were purchased on the installment plan. The first payment of $20 on the instruments was paid by the boys who sold pincards. The band now has in its possession $150 worth of property and it owes only $65. The object of the organization is to employ the minds of the twenty-five boys who now CUMBERLAND BAND TOPEKA CUMBERLAND BOY BAND—T comprise it and to give them something to do which will keep them off the street corners and out of bad company. Before a boy can become a member of the band he is required to pledge himself not to swear, use tobacco, intoxicating drinks or gamble. When the average colored boy, from eight to fifteen years old, is kept out of all of this mischief, he is in a fair way to become a good citizen. In addition to the pledge exacted, the boy must be a member of some Sunday School. The organization has provided the following set of penalties for infliction upon any member detected in violating the rules or breaking his pledge: First offense, punishable by a fine of 25 cents; second offense, by a fine of 50 cents and for the third offense he is expelled. While the organization is musical in character, as much time is given to teaching the members something about economy and good morals, as is given to the study of music. It has been my pleasure to familiarize myself with the work that Mr. Bigbee is doing these boys and can heartily commend it to any one who might feel inclined to give it either moral or material assistance. It is a model organization. Officers and members of Cumberland Band and instrument: Samuel Cary, Pres. ..... Baritone Arthur Hardy, V. Pres.. Snare Drum Will Gaines, Sec. ..... Jb Cornet Geo.

Sheriff Kiff, the popular officer of Atchison county, has made so many friends while in office that the Democrats could not find a candidate of strength to measure arms with him, so in order to keep up an organization they had to place some one on the ticket to say they have a candidate. The Sheriffs majority will be immense. Hon. J. M. Challis, the Republican nominee of Atchison county, is one of the most prominent young attorneys in the the city. He is a member of the law firm of Ingalls & Challis, the former being a son of the late John J. Ingalls. Mr. Challis is a native Kansan, born in Atchison and a graduate of the State University. He knows the people and they are his friends, and will give him an over-whelming majority: The colored people speak of him in the highest terms. He is the laboring man's friend—in fact he stands for fair play between all classes. Captain John Seaton, the old familiar Solon of the Legislature, was THE LABOR OF G. A. BIGBEE nominated for the eighth time to represent the Second district, comprising the city of Atchison. He knows what his county wants and goes after it. He is familiarly called "Uncle John" by every man, woman and child, for they all knew him. The Democrats nominated the Hon. Bailey Waggener to make a friendly contest for representative against Uncle John, but they are as friendly as two chums could be. Mr. Waggoner does not want the office, but is merely having a little fun, as Uncle John always secures what legislation is needed; for Bailey is more or less interested in several bills that directly concern him or his rail roads, and could not afford to lose the time to be on the floor. Atchison county wants Charlie Curtis for Senator, and Mr. Waggoner, being a Democrat, could not vote or work for Mr. Curtis in a Republican caucus. Uncle John would not be a candidate if it were not for Charlie Curtis. He promised to help him and he will be as good as his word. At present, he is not talking politics at all, but his friends are looking out for him. A few days ago he had the sad misfortune to lose his youngest daughter, who died suddenly, and he seems to have lost all interest in politics; but his and Charlie Curtis's friends are doing the work that counts. The friends of Mr. Waggener, both Democrats and Republicans, all say that Mr. Waggener would not expect them to support him in this cam- In an awful crush of humanity caused by a stampede in the Shiloh Negro Baptist church at Avenue G and Eighteenth street tonight, seventy-eight persons were killed and as many more seriously injured. The catastrophe occurred at 9 o'clock just as Booker T. Washing-had concluded his address to the national convention of Negro Baptist and for three hours the scenes around the church were indiscribable. Dead bodies were strewn in every direction and the ambulance service of the city was utterly incapacitated to move them until after 1 o'clock. Dozens of dead bodies were arranged in rows on the ground outside of the house of worship awaiting removal to the various, undertaking establishments, while more than a score were laid out on the benches inside. The church is the largest one for Negroes in Birmingham and the pastor says there were at least two thousand persons in the edifice when the stampede began. Instructions had been issued to allow no more to enter, but the Negroes forced their way inside the building and were standing in every aisle. Even the entrance to the church was literally packed. STARTED BY A QUARREL. STARRED BY A QUARREL. Just as Booker T. Washington concluded his address, Judge Billou, a Negro leader from Baltimore, engaged in an altercation with the choir leader concerning an unoccupated seat and it is said a blow was struck. Some one in the choir cried "They're fighting." Mistaking the word "fighting" for "fire," the congregation rose en masse and started for the door. One of the ministers quickly mounted the rostrum and admonished the people to keep quiet. He repeated the word "quiet" several times and motioned to his hearers to be seated. Again the excited congregation mistook the word "quiet" for "fire" and renewed the struggle to reach the door. Men and women crawled over benches and fought their way into the aisles and those who had fallen were trampled upon like cattle. The ministers tried again and again to stop the stampede, but no power on earth could stay the struggling, fighting mass of humanity. The screams of women and children added to the horror of the scene and through mere fright many persons fainted and as they fell to the floor were crushed to death. STEPS PROVED A DEATH TRAP. STEPS PROVED A DEATH TRAP. The level of the floor is about fifteen feet from the ground, and long steps lead to the sidewalk from the lobby just outside the main auditorium. Brick walls extend on each side of these steps for six or seven feet and these proved a veritable death trap. Negroes who had safely reached the top of the steps were pushed violently forward and many fell. Before they could move others fell upon them and persons were piled upon each other to a height of ten feet. This wall of struggling humanity blocked the entrance and the weight of 1,500 persons were pushed against it. More than twenty persons lying on the steps underneath the heap of bodies died from suffocation. Two white men who were in the rear of the church when the rush began escaped and realizing the seriousness of the situation rushed to a corner nearby and turned in a fire alarm. The department came quickly and the arrival of the wagons served to scatter the crowd which had gathered around the front of the church. A squad of police was also hastened to the church and with the firemen finally succeeded in releasing the Negroes from their positions in the entrance. The dead bodies were quickly removed and the crowd inside finding an outlet came pouring out. Scores of them lost their footing and rolled down the long steps to the pavement sustaining broken limbs and severe internal injuries.

Down the ailses and along the outside of the pews the dead bodies of men and women were strewn, and the cries of the mained and crippled were heart rendering. In a few minutes the work of removing the bodies was begun. The Shiloh church is locatsd just on the edge of the South Highland the fashionable residence section of the city and all the physcians living in that part of town went to the assistance of the injured. As many of the suffering Negroes as could be moved by the ambulance were taken to the hospitals and the rest were laid out on the ground and there the physicians attended them. At least fifteen died before they could be moved from the ground. During the stampede Booker Washington and several other prominent Negroes were on the stage and were unwilling witnesses to the frightful catastrophe. None of those in the choir or in the pulpit was injured in the least. For a few minutes they attempted to restore order but seeing their efforts were futile, waited until the struggling crowd had advanced far enough tor them to pick up the dead and injured. Most of the dead are women and the physician say in many cases they fainted died from suffocation. A remarkable feature of the calamity is that no blood was seen on any of the victims. They were either crushed or died from suffocation- Captain Frank O,Brien, former sherriff of Jefferson county, and one of the most prominent citizens of Birmingham, was a witness of the catastrophe. He lives within half a block of the church and hearing the commotion, went ascertained the troubled. As he reached the front of the church the crowd had begun blocking the entrance and in decribing it, he said: AN APPALLING SIGHT. "I have witnessed many appalling sights but the wild scene at the head of those steps is beyond descripition. Wildly excited Negroes reached the top of the steps and began falling heaplong down the incline. Others were pushed upon them and notwithstanding the warnings from the outside the crowd continued to push. In a few minutes men and women were piled upon each other to a height of ten feet-Presently a Negro wcman, with a baby in her arms, mounted the mass and climbing over the bodies, leaped to the ground without injury to herself or to the infant. As quickly as possible a recue party was organized and as soon as the entrance was cleared began the removal of the bodies." The Rev. Dr. P. W. Walker, pastor of Shiloh church, said tonight: "Shiloh church is a modern brick structure, and has just been completed at a cost of $75,000. There are four entrances to the church building and the main one is sixteen feet wide. The deaths were caused by everybody trying to rush out of the main entrance at the same time. Inside the church not a bench was overturned, and all of those who were killed died in or about the entrance. The people near the front of the church were not injured in least." Mayor W. M. Dremen said, "Most of those who were killed were strangers, but their bodies will be cared for until identified and claim- ed by relatives." Among those killed were, Rev. P. H. Johnson of Weir City, Kas., and John Houston of Pittsburgh, Kas.

The remarkable secord of the seven thousand Ne- groes in Topeka during the past twenty years is all that is needed to disprove the theory that the Negro is retrograding morally, politically or financially. The individual standard of morals is higher and for this reason petty infractions of the moral law is more noticeable. The influence ofthe churches is growing and widening. There is less tenden- cy to multiply churches and a Stronger spirit manifest towards the concentration of religious efforts towards practical results in good citizenship. The Negro 1s taking his place in the ranks of those who are laboring for the good of thecommunity. In pol- itics there is a growing disposi. tion among our people to discard the old time theory that ‘‘recog- nition’ should be defined as an office for some ‘‘leader’’, and that that leader was the race so long so long as he held office. Our people have reached the point where politics means prin- ciples and the color of aman does not teli the story of his par- tp affiliations. It is folly to charge the race with retrogres- sion when one sees on every hand evidences of material pros: oerity. The Negro is to be con. gratulated that in the face of denied opportunities for making money there is an astonishingl) large increase in the property holdings of its members and z multiplication of business house: owned and managed by Negrc business men, giving employment to the boys and girls of the race. The Negro is advancing mental. ly, morally and financially it spite of the frostings of a fev sycophants, who seek to raist themselves by traducing the race. Barring Negroes. As the inevitable result of the action of certain states ir restricting the right of sufferage the socalled “ily white’’ element ofthe Republican party in toc of the Southern states have by methods very similar to the bull. dozing tactics of the rebel south have succeed in barring Negro delegates from participating in Republican conventions. This brings this question home ts Kepublican managers through- out the country, For the past thirty years, the party has beer busy in season and out of season condeming the Democratic party for “its inhumanity to man" and now the world will watch closely the of party leaders in this disfranchising of Negroes within the party. From the day that the Negroesin the south has been given a chance to speak and act as our American citizen, he has been the Republican par- ty in the south. It has been his zeal ann fidelity to those whom he believed to be his friends that has kept a party organiza- tion south of Mason and Dixon line, and to do this he has sac- raficed the possibility of amac- ibly adjusting relations with the ‘leaders of the old slave regime, eee ee SAAS, =F EATS, DULCOL and others stand for such fla grant violations of party policies ‘Are We Retiograding.

For less than ahalf century the Negro has been other than a beast of bur- deninthis country. Forty years ago’ he was valuable only asa marketable commodity. His knowledge of morality, social or political economy, and his in- tellectual status was a minus sign. Since he has been cloth- ed with the rights and privileges of “man” he has rapidly ac- quired those elements so essen- tial to right living and good citi- zenship. To get away froma past full of discouragement and dishonor has been and is now the powerful influence behind the Negro boys and girls who are seeking honorably to place an honorable name in the catalouge of nations, The years of Amer- ican slavery did naught to create in the Negro slave ideals of man- hood aud womanhood, that a nation of people striving to at- tain go forward to success. The few years of freedom have served only to open the eyes of the Ne- gto to his environment; to form background upon which he can clearly measure his responsibility asaman anda citizen. Forty years ago Negro criminality and immorality was as unknown as such irregularities are now among horses, dogs, and beast of prey. These things are noticable today because those who judge our peo- ple are prone todo so by the white man’s standard, and at the same time to compare the Negro criminals, the majority of whom go to our reformatories and peniteniaries for petty crimes for which white criminal escape punishment, by the white crimi- nals who are there for crimes, a Negro is denied the opportunity of being tempted.

Two persons were killed and twenty six injured, all but four seriously. All of the casualities were on the show train, The dead: Harry Williams and a Negro, unidentified. Seriously injured: L.

The freight engine was not damaged badly and the freight crew were unhurt, ‘The show people laid the blame for the wreck at the door of the freight engineer and became so de- monstrative that he fled. The unin- jared went qnickly to the relief and soon extricated the dead and injured, jall of whom ware taken to Oklahoma City. sixteen miles distant, late in the aflernoon. After the excitement had died down, the freight engineer returned. He declares chat the lights On the show train were out and that he was unable to see the show train in the rain and darkness. “LYNCH HIM” Hleven policemen and four citizen were shot by Jeremiah Hunter ani his wife, Negroes, who turned thei home into a fort in resistance t capture, ‘This was not inthe wild west, bu inthe immediate neighborhood o New York city.

He saw perhaps, the white-hot irons bein; thrust at his eyes, He heard, per haps, the demoniac yells that told him there would be no justice, nc mercy, no pity, until death should cut his chains, These are the visions that were marshaled before the old man’: mind by that ery of “Lynch him!” A coward might have cravenl; fallen to his knees, begging for jus tice, crying for mercy where there was no mercy, appealing for pit) where there was no pity. But this old man was of a differen! Sort of stuff. He barricaded his doors and windows, secured three shotguns and a brace or revolvers and defended himself. His old wife helped him, loading his weapons For filteen hours he hetd out agains mob and police, and in those fifteer hours fiiteen men fell before his dead. ly fire. He was taken only after the house had been burned and he had been beaten into insensibility, He was resisting the lawin a sense. In another sense he was fighting fo: his life as only a brave man wil, His example is not one to emulate. But let it not be torgotten that the American people are responsible fo the infamous conditions which mad: this man a desperado in a fight for his life.
