THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. BUSINESS MANAGER CHILES Out on a Junket for The Plaindealer He Recites a Few Interesting Points About Politicians He Met in Different Cities and Counties of the States A Lively Campaign is Looked for. Salina is a prosperous city located on the Mo. P., R. I. and Santa Fe railways, in a prosperous farming country. The people are of a fine class, made up principally of Swedes. The colored people in the county, who number about 800, are doing very well, with few idlers. Among some of the successful business men is W. W. Shoebe, who has lived in Salina about twenty years and keeps a neat restaurant and grocery store. A native Kentuckian, Ed. Hudson, who was doorkeeper in the Legislature, is doing a neat little grocery and barber business. The Depriest Bros. are the largest contractors in painting in that section of the country. This is the home of the Hon. R. A. Burch, the newly appointed judge on the Supreme bench and on the Republican ticket. His reputation is in the superlative degree as a gentleman, a scholar and a jurist. The colored people speak of him only as their friend, and say that the committee made no mistake. His brother, C. W. Burch, the county attorney, is renominated for the fourth show shows how well they stand in Salina. The judge is very courteous to callers and is always pleasant to meet. His election is sure. SHERIFF. S. M. Wilson the Republican nominee for sheriff, is an old timer in Salina county. He was born in Randolph county, Ills., and came to Kansas in 1872. He is the most successful cattleman in that portion of the state. He is popular with the people, always fair with his fellowmen, and since the Populists have been swallowed up by the Democrats he will scarcely have to make a fight as the Republicans who went after false gods in 1896 have come home to stay. He has a family of nine children of whom he is very proud and he devotes much time to making home happy for them. James John, the head chef of the National hotel, is said to be the finest cook in the West. Guests hate to leave after eating one of his meals. ABILENE. DICKINSON CO. We stopped over for three hours in this little burg, the home of Hon. J. R. Burton. A very few colored people. Mr. J. W. Lewis is doing a fine barber business. He is the only colored man doing anything in the burg. We did not have time to size up the people. From what we could see of them and the looks of their surroundings we say they are prospering—so much so that Candidate for Sheriff Thayer said that he did not care for the office; that he had plenty and if the Republicans wanted him they could elect him; that his opponent had made a good sheriff and the people thought he ought to be retained. Our party should not nominate such men. PROBATE JUDGE John A. Flack, candidate for second term as probate judge, was born in Pennsylvania and has lived in Dickinson county 23 years. He is a young man of much force and ability, and looks to be a sure winner. FOR SHERIFF. J. O. Baker is a candidate for reelection as county sheriff for the second term. He is an old timer in the county; two years ago his majority was 482. They now say it will be larger because he wants the office and his opponent don't. The people of Dickinson will not force offices on those who don't want them. There is a colored "Potato King" in the county, Mr. W. M. Temple, a Kentuckian, who is prosperous and making money. JUNCTION CITY. M. D. Pesso, the popular candidate for sheriff for the second term, is a New Yorker by birth, born in 1864, who came to Geary county in 1878 and is a successful farmer and stock raiser. He has held several positions of honor and trust, and is a staunch Republican. Two years ago he was contested for the office by a Pop opponent, this time he will distance the Democratic candidate, beyond dispute. PROBATE JUDGE. Hon. John F. Brown, the popular probate judge of Geary county, is beyond a doubt high in the favor of the people. He was born in Clement county, Ohio. He came to Kansas in 1883, was admitted to the bar in Wilson county in 1892, and has lived in Junction City for several years. He is a 'way up Mason, Recorder of his Commandery in Junction City, No 43. He is a candidate for re-election and will have from three to four hundred majority, which, his fellow townsmen say, it will be a source of pleasure to give to him. COUNTY ATTORNEY. W. S. Roark, the county attorney, and his brother are the popular boys of the county, serving the fourth term, Republicans the year round and fight on Christmas. To prove it, there is no doubt of the election of Mr. Roark. He is always glad to meet friends. LEGISLATURE. Hon. G. W. Schmidt,candidate for legislature, who will represent Geary county in the next House, is a prosperous farmer and stock raiser. He was born in Clark county, Ind., 41 years ago and has lived in Geary for twenty two years. His majority will be large and owing to his ability to succeed himself he can point the way for others. COUNTY CLERK. Mr. W. B. Spurlock, the popular county clerk of Geary county, was born in Missouri and is one of the leading men of Junction. He stands so well with the people that he has been renominated and elected every time he has run, and that has been so often that the people say he is just the man they want. MANHATTAN. Mr. Eli M. Cruise is the correspondent for THE PLAINDEALER in this city. We arrived in Manhattan late Friday evening. Manhattan is quite a nice little burg. The State Industrial college is located here, about sixteen colored students in attendance. We met the Hon E. J. Davies, candidate for probate judge a second term. He is courteous and kind, always having a warm spot in his heart for a visitor. He was born in New South Wales, Great Britain, came to Riley county in 1873, was a county commissioner preceding his election as probate judge, is a lawyer and a taxpayer. He is 39 years of age and looks like a long liver. He has a wife and four children, is a staunch Republican and if he continues in the same footsteps the people will advance him higher. He has filled the office creditably to himself and the people of his county. He is a high Mason and a member of the Knights and Ladies of Security. The Republicans have nominated a man by the name of Kimble for judge of the 21st Judicial District, comprising Riley, Clay and Marshall. From what we could see and hear of him it was an awful blunder. He looks to be an autocrat, selfish and arrogant. If this be true it is a mistake. It is said that his opponent knows the law and will put the proper construction on it. We hope the party will not make such mistake again. He may be pleasant with his white brethren but he is awfully chilly to his brother in black. ATCHISON COUNTY. Atchison county is looming up for the straight Republican ticket. Vote for honest John Seaton; he will vote for the interests of the county. Mr. Waggener does not want the office; he is just funning. You have one of the strongest tickets ever named in the county—vote for your ticket. Don't insult anyone. Have your neighbor act likewise. We will elect Bailee next time if he is a good Democrat, which we don't see every day. Let Mr. Waggener wait; there is another day for him. Rally to the flag, boys! Don't let her trail in the dust! Atchison will give honest John Seaton a large majority. Vote for him. ATCHISON COUNTY. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 10, 1902. be elected in spite of all opposition. Every man is a tried republican, a gentleman and eminently qualified to fill the position to which he aspires. This ticket will receive an overwhelming majority of the votes cast. Capt. John Seaton member of Legislature from the 2nd district and N. B. Sharpless from the 3rd district. J. M. Challis, county. att'y; D. S. Hooper, probate judge; Wm. Kiff, sherriff; C. E. White, clerk of district court; Chas. Linley, treasure: S. S. King, county clerk; Ferdinand Glien, Register of Deeds; O. Hastins, supt. of public instructions; Chas. Woodruff, county surveyor; Dr. Ferguson, coronor; C. G. Wheeler, Geo. Dardis, C. B. Smith, T. E. Belden, T. S. Cook, county High School Trustees; G. W. Searles, county commissioner for city district. The democrats who have been waiting for a split in the crowd that they may make a profit are growing more demoralized and discouraged as time passes and the good management of the republican leaders positively forestalls any such condition. S. H. Kelsey is wide awake and will have the candidates speak in every precinct in the city and county. Then on the 24th at Seaton's Opera house the Hon. W. J. Baily, candidate for Governor, will treat the voters with his masterly oratory scoring strong points which will defy answer from the opposition or mix-breed politicians—the Demo-Pops. TRYING TO REPENT. That there is "repentance between the stirrup and the ground" was clearly proven by the "regular" Populist convention last Friday, when they nominated William R. Eyster for representative from the Thirty-eighth district. Mr. Eyster is a Populist of the old school, one who has given a life-time to advance the cause of reform. He has labored in and out of season and when the organization became powerful, he had to take a back seat and watch the Republican converts—men who changed because the Republican party adopted the gold standard—enjoy the fruits of his labor. Mr. Eyster is not a Populist for "revenue only," but is conscientious and sincere in his belief. In the nomination of William R. Eyster, the Populists have bestowed an honor where it most rightfully belongs. He is one of the grandest old men that ever entered the borders of Kansas, and when "Uncle Abe" issued his call for volunteers, he was among those who offered their lives for right, justice and humanity. He knows no man by creed, color, or past condition of servitude, but by principle and many qualities. Mr. Eyster is a printer of ye olden times, and off and on during the past three years he has held "cases" on THE PLAINDEALER, and we are glad to say that for integrity, honesty, and uprightness, he stands the equal of any man in the state. He is a bright writer and has been connected with some of the best Populist papers in the state among them being The State Record, of which he was editor and proprior. He was also a candidate for county attorney in Riley county on the old People's party ticket and is a member of the Kansas and Pennsylvania bar. It is a foregone conclusion that he cannot be elected and that we do not want anyone other than a Republican to land the place, but if a populist must be elected, we know of no better man in that party than our old time honored friend, William R. Eyster. BAILEY AND CRADDOCK Hon. W. J. Bailey cleaned up Brother Craddock, at Wichita, last Monday. They will be in Topoka in joint debate at the Auditarium. THE MUSICIAN REV. F. G. SNELSON, M. A., Pn D., F. R. G. S. Just Who and What He Really is No One Seems to Know-Holds With all Parties. There is one George Tincher sent to the Council from the Sixth ward —what for we have never been able to tell. He is a dismal failure as to ability and is low in the scales as to what it takes to run a city government. He would probably do for some town in the Ozark mountains where people have but one idea. Dating back three centuries, he deceives his looks very much. He never advanced an idea since in the council. All he knows is whiskey. Some people haven't sense enough to drink. We are surprised at the good thinking people picking up such a man, who has never done any thing for himself or the public, and electing such a fellow, who calls himself a Republican but has been on all sides. He was a Pop when Lewelling went in and he held his job. He did not know where he was when Morrill was elected, but squared things and held his job When Leedy went in he was an avowed Pop, and he still held on to his teat. When Stanley went in he REV. F. G. SNELSON, changed over again, still sucking, and no one could honestly tell where he stood. He is still howling for someone to tell him to what party he belongs. We can tell him: To the party that don't respect the rights of other people when not in touch with its views; which has no respect for law not of the Carrie Nation kind. No honest Republican would resort to such methods. Whisky is his hobby. A roaring crank on that subject, let him go to the party that he represents; not stay in where he is not wanted or needed. We will trim his hypocritical sails for him soon. A NEW ORGANIZATION. The colored people have at last formed a much needed organization for the benefit of their race. Said society is known as the Knights and Ladies of Protection, similar in its plans to the Knights and Ladies of Security. The headquarters will be at Topeka and the promoters are satisfied that their society affords the best plan of Fraternal insurance that can be had 1. It has a just and equitable Reserve fund System. 2. Admits both sexes on an equality. 3. Its assessments are graded according to age and do not increase with advancing years. 4. Its National and Subordinate Council officers are bonded in sound and reliable indemnity companies. 5. It requires a thorough and careful medical examination, and by the scaling process during the first two years, protects against imposition. 6. Its members make a monthly payment which includes all expenses. 7. It pays partial and total disa- bility benefits. 8. Its members, totally disabled, and over 70 years, are entitled to one-tenth of their certificate annually. 7. Admits both beneficiary and social members. Beneficiary members may secure certificates from $2.50 to $20.00. The National officers are Col. James Beck, president, Lawrence; J. M. Mason, 1st vice president, Topeka; A. Morton, and vice president of St Joseph. Mo.; P. T. Thomas, secretary, Topeka; J. G. Groves, treasurer, Edwardsville; Rev. H. H. White, prelate, Topeka; Mrs. A. Blakeman, conductor, Kansas City, Kas.: Dr. Horsey, medical director, of Kansas City, Kas.; Dorsey Green, chairman of Executive board of Kansas City, Kas.; W. W. Fisher, chairman Trustee board, Topeka; C. E. Gerton, sentinel: A. P. Smith, chairman Law committee, Topeka. The work of organizing subordinate councils will begin within a short time. BLACK CARL AT HOME. Ed Johnson, an Old Toppea Boy, Draws a Crowded House. Ed. Johnson (Black Carl) was at the New Crawford Monday night , M. A., PII D., F. R. G. S. with the "New Hottest Coon in Dixie" and was greeted by a large and appreciative audience of old time friends. He is the best magician that ever set foot on Crawford's stage and he brought the house down when he found the lady's ring and a large guinea pig in a bottle from which people had drank several different decoctions. Mr. Johnson has traveled for eleven years in this and foreign lands, drawing crowded houses everywhere. He is the wonder of the twentieth century. This is the home of his mother and sister, and where he was raised to manhood, and the boys didn't do a thing to him for staying away so long. The "New Hottest Coon In Dixie" is a good show and keeps you laughing all the time. Mr. Phil. Miller deserves much credit for the way he handles his show. He is a natural theatrical man and a credit to his race. He will succeed. . A Prosperous, Topekan Mrs. America Hawkins, the mother of Williams Hawkins, has come to Topeka from Atchison and will tr. her home here. Will Hawkins is well known in Topeka. He is a colored man who attended and graduated from Washburn college and then studied law and was admitted to the bar. He started up in practice at Atchison. When the war with Spain broke out, he secured a commission as captain and went to Cuba with the Twenty third Kansas. Later he enlisted in the regular army and went to the Phillippines. He retired from the army, and engaged in managing a tobacco plantation, and is said to have succeeded wonderfully well. He has already made a small fortune, and is expected to come back to Topeka for a visit with his mother in about six weeks. Mr. Hawkins owns considerable property in Topeka—Topeka State Journal. SAINT JOHN'S NEW PASTOR Rev. F. G. Snelson preached his first sermon at St John A. M. E. Church on Sunday last and created a most favorable impression on the large audience. He is a pleasing speaker and held the close attention of his congregation throughout the service. At the evening service an exceptionally large congregation greeted the pastor. His service in the evening was an improvement over the morning service. The doctor has come to this city for the purpose of serving his people and discharging the obligations of the church. This he cannot do without the hearty cooperation of his membership and the friends of the church. He is a man of splendid attainments and high ideals, and in every respect worthy the confidence and esteem of all the people of this city. Under the caption of "Dr. Snelson and His Golden Jubilee", the Western Outlook, a San Francisco publication, speaks as follows: The history of the A. M. E. church for the past one hundred and fifteen years has been fraught with the record of her noble men and women of great worth and character. The church has made the men and women great, and the men and women have, under the guidance of Almighty God, made the church that wonderful instrument of power for good and prosperity she is today. A notable specimen of the young men of ability and spiritual vigor of the great A. M. E. church is the popular and much respected, scholarly and eloquent pastor of Bethel church, No. 1207 Powell street, this city, in the person of the Rev. Floyd Grant Snelson. Born in the memorable year of Lincoln's death, Mr. Snelson has risen steadily from obscurity to great distinction. From his father's humble farm to the academy, thence to the university. He has sustained an unblemished career of usefulness and power in his native state, Georgia, in the old Southland. An Atlanta University he spent seven spotless, prosperous years of classical study, graduating as valedictorian of the class of '00, and first orator of the Greek letter fraternity of that institution, just nineteen years after his father's graduation at the same university. The prediction was then made that a notable career awaited him in active life; this Mr. Snelson has well fulfilled. As principal of the city, public schools and president of the high schools in Georgia, his name has become a household word in thousands of homes there. From childhood he has been of a serious and religious turn of mind, and began preaching at the early age of fifteen years, and has filled every position, as sexton, organist, secretary, superintendent of Sabbath school, exhorter, local preacher, deacon, elder and presiding elder in the African Methodist church, with great acceptance and ability. For seven years he was the chief director of the Peabody Institutes in Georgia, having under his instruction thousands of teachers of the common schools of the state, and in that capacity founded and edited in partnership with his accomplished and efficient wife, the Negro Educational Journal. His former pastorates were at Columbia, Atlanta, Cartersville, and Athens, Ga., whence in 1896 he was appointed general superintendent of the West African work of the African Methodist church, with official headquarters at Freetown, Sierra Leone, where he was held in the highest esteem by the African Mayor and British Governor of the state, as well as by the subordinate native and foreign missionaries of the country. Dr. Snelson has explored the entire west coast of Africa, traveling 5,000 miles along the coast, including French Sengal, British Gambia, Koukry, Sierra Leone, French Ivory Coasts, Gold Coasts, Dahomey, Lagos, and Nigeria, and 500 miles interior among the Timanee, Susu, Mendi, Jollophs, Kuranka, Vey, Bassa, Kroes, Dboes, Greboes, Gar, Fanti, Lokkohs Youraba, Appolonians, etc. NUMBER 39. Dr. Snelson, the Noted Missionary and Educator Will Have the Pastorate of St. John's A. M. E. Church During the Coming Year Is Highly Spoken of By the Press. Doctor of Philosophy, Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society of London, and Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Manufacturers and Commerce of England, and the most renouned traveller of the colored race, and has lectured before the Royal Societies in London, Berlin Brussels, Paris, Dublin, Glasgow, Edinburg, Hamburg, Antwerp, Manchester, Liverpool, and Birmingham, in Europe. After four years abroad of hard labor, alone, in spite of the rigors o a most deadly West African climate Dr. Snelson returned to the bosom of his family and church in the summer of 1900 and was royally received by the general conference as its greatest modern missionary and "Princely Son of the A. M. E. church." He lectured in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Ohio, Louisville, Ky., Indianapolis, Ind., and seores of other towns and cities, and in October accepted the call to the difficult pastorate of Bethel church, San Francisco, where the Doctor has been well received by the people, irrespective of class or creed. His African lecture has been heard by hundreds, in scores of the city and interior churches of both races. His sermons are evangelical, scholarly, eloquent, fascinating and heartfelt presentations of divine truth, of facts, and of faith. Dr. Snelson's appreciation and giverence for the labors of predecessors is beautifully demonstrated in his present preparations for the observance of the semi-centennial of the African Methodist church in California and the celebration of the Golden Jubilee of Bethel church. Such an eminent and unselfish man and servant of his people should be loyally supported in his wonderful efforts to relieve Bethel church from debt. Six thousand five hundred dollars is not easily raised, so let every one lend a helping hand to Dr. Snelson and his people in their great struggle. We commend him to all the citizens of the city and state, and urge you not to let the Golden Jubilee of his church pass without some financial expression of your sympathy and support. The following is from Sunday's Toneka Dapital; St John A. M. E. church at seventh and Topeka avenue and its people are rejoicing today over the arrival of the Rev. F. G. Snelson, M. A., Ph. D., F. R. G. S., their new pastor, who comes from Bethel church, San Francisco, Cal. to this field by the invitation of the Rt. Rev. C. F. Shaffer, bishop of this district. Dr. Snelson is the most distinguished missionary of the A. M. E. connection, having spent seven years in the foreign missionary work on the west coast of Africa, four years of which as general superintendent in Liberia Sierra Leone, Gambia, Gold Coast, Lagos, French Ivory Coast, Senega, and Konakry, traveling 500 miles interior and 5000 miles along the west Africa coast. While there Dr. Snelson made certain original investigations into the native life of the aborigines and his writings were especially recognized by the nobility of Europe, for which in 1898, he was elected a "Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society" of London, England; and in 1899 a "Fellow of the Royal Arts and Commerce." These are merits and international distinctions won by no other colored man in America and which Dr. Snelson sustains with exceptional ability. His African lectures are famous for he has spoken in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, in Paris, Berlin and Brussels. For two years past Dr. Snelson has held charge in San Francisco, a large and influential charge and now opens his pastoral career at St John Sopeka Plaindealer. nt ‘Pabiisbed at Topea, Shawnee county, ‘Kas, every Friday morning by .

When scourged on the one side by the ‘‘unterrified democracy," we once could look with hops- ful eyes to the Republican party for friendly counsel, if not al- ways for relief. Even when they did nothing for us in a ma- terial way, they could appeal to us in campaign times with the plea that they hadat least shown no disposition to do anything to our detriment as men and citizen. The aggressive opposition of the Democratic party rendered this negative policy of the Republi- cans sucha virtue that as a choice between evils, to support the Republican ticket, county, state and national, seemed the lesser. Presto, change! Now, the boot is on the otherleg. The Demo- crats having exhausted their resources in the work of elimina- ting us from politics, the Repub- licans in the several states have set themselves to the very delect- able task of putting the finishing touches upon the job, as they are in control of the federal ma- chinery. Our erstwhile ‘friends’ have cowardly deserted usin the hour of our extremity, and left us naked to our enemies. Sena- tor Pritchard, who owes all that he is today in the councils of the nation to the black vote, is the ting leader. in an assassination more foul and ungrateful than the sacrifice of Caesar to the ambition of the Roman cabal. We see Pritchard riding rough- shod over his yeoman band in North Carolina, a rank pretender Capers, fresh from the Demo- cratic party, posing as a mem- ber of the Republican national committee and dispenser of ad- ministration patronage, chosen over the head of the real state organization of South Carolina, represented by Chairman E. H. Deas, and last, but not least, the Negro leaders are “turned down’? in Alabama and upon them is foisted one Wellman, as chairman of a “‘lily-white Re- publican executive committee.” The game of ‘freeze out'’ is be- ing played to the limit. Where does President Roose. velt stand upon this all-impor- tant question? As the officia and natural head of the Repub. lican party in the nation, he i the court of final resort. Is bh in sympathy with these higt handed proceedings? Is he pre pared to confess that the wai was a failure, and that the entir national policy and lofty prin ciples of the party as enunciate: by Lincoln and Grant have bee: along series of mistakes? Car President Roosevelt and met like Gen. Clarkson put them selves on record to this effect b: even maintaining silence whil such nefarious practices are be ing carried on to the eterna shame of the republic whic! black men fought to uphold whe: it was threatened with disruptio: andruin? We think not. There is more at stake in thi question than the mere matte af nniitical sadvantace ar th, YAAK YAMAHA \{__...

The President, perhaps in a more conspicuous way than any other man in public life, is an exemplar of fair play, wheth- ertne contest be sport, war or politics, We cannot believe that he will at this late day, re- verse the record of a lengthy and brilliant career, for the poor prize of a few lily white republi- can votes that can do him no good and a still smaller parcel of ballots of Bourbon Democrats, which he will not get? We can- not bring ourselves to believe that a man of his broad intellect- uality, shrewd political judgment and Christian conscience can so completely lose his balance as to endanger the electoral votes of the pivotal states of the West and North, where the Negro isa prime factor- by surrendering to this infamons prejudice in the sonthern states, which will avail nothing. It will be many a year before any commonwealth below the Mason’s and Dixon’s line contributes a single electoral vote to the Republican column, no matter who the candidate may be, or what theissue. Theo- dore Roosevelt, we take it, is too levelheaded to ‘chase rainbows,’ and too patriotic to stand idly by and permit the throttling of a large contingent of his brother Americans, whose only offense is that that they were born with dark skins. The hour for the parting of the ways has come. ‘Choose ye this day whom ye will serve.’ President Roosevelt and the leaders of the Republican party of the nation mnst decide be- tween that wing of the organiza- tion in the south thatis willing to recognize the political rights of the Negro, or give the insignia of their approval to those who would reduce usto a hopeless serfdom.

America is said to be the most civilized country of the world, but do her actions indicate such, when she still persists in taking the lives ol innocent Negroes—burning them at the stake, roasting them alive? Where on the globe’ save in our own country, will we find such atrocities inflicted upon a race of peuple so loyal to their couutry as is the Ne gro race. Every day brings forth news of a most brutal and inhuman process of euding the life of some | Negro, more often a law abiding cit izen than acriminal. In the follow- ing extract from the Boston Guard- ian isa more elaborate discussion ofthe many murders, for they are murders, committed in this highly | civilized (2) country, daily: “Close on the heels of Secretary of State Hay’s letter of protest to the powers against Roumania’s in- human treatment of the Jews, comes ithe roasting alive of acolored man at Corinth, Miss. A protest against the barbaric treatment of the colored race by the United States is now in order on the part of Roumania. Whatever that country has done against the Jews has been in the form oflaw. Her so-called inhuman feaument of these has not been the mere outbreak of aa irresponsible, thuggish element claiming to vindi- cate law, nor has the Jew, though persecuted for nearly 2200 years, yet been subject to being rvasted at the stake in the name of justice by a mob. It has been left for Amer- ica, the great republic of the west, the land of the free, to invent those orgies! The imbruited foreigner, |however sunken and degraded in Enrope, does not know of lynchings and burnings until he reaches this enhghtened shore! Sut the saddest thing about all this lynching and roasting alive business is(it is not so much the deeds themselves, for such sporadic outbreaks might reason- ably occar in any illguarded com- tunity of cut-throats) that it does not seem to call for the slightest condemnation on the part of the American people. Occasionally, a paper or so will speak ont in con- demnation of this most heinous and diabolical crime that a nation was cursed with, but the vast majority ofthe press and people seems to regard lynching and roasting of Negroes alive as something essential to our American greatness, and few states, and the national goverment never, say anything against such awful crimes, In contemplation of such fiendish- neas the very soul sickens through despair and hopelessness, Is there never to be an end to this, or are we merely sleeping over a smouldering volcano of revenge? Believing as wedo inthe immutable cause, and in the ultimate triumph of justice we cannot but recall the prophecy of that celebrated ancient when in { speaking of the treachery and haught- Vines of another people, be said: ‘or I kaow wellia my heart and seul, ‘That the day wil come whea prood | Aad Prac andthe oan Siehey ‘Priam shit Fath alt Por God, turseed iafily above, | Aad He wilehey be spel toh pitt He wiltchew his aefol head, _ Send Your Sons and Daughters to Heol TaeoLocica, Derantuent—Preparing trained Ministers for the demands of the pew of today.

John Freeman died at his home, 201 Jackson street, on Sunday morning, October 6th, at 7 o'clock, of heart failure, at the advanced age of 94 years. Noname has been more closely connected with the growth and development of the Negro in Kansas than has that of John Freeman. A man of strong individuality and high ideals of Negro possibilities, he came to Kansas many years ago and settled in this city. A shoemaker by trade, he industriously plied his vocation and by careful management and economical living succeeded in accumulating a goodly share of this world's goods. He has been married for 63 years and leaves a wife, two daughters, a son and many friends to mourn his demise. The funeral services were conducted from his home, by Rev. Dr. G. D. Olden of the First Baptist church, and were marked by simplicity and deep reverence. Mrs. J. M. Wright sang a solo. There was a large floral offering. His body was laid to rest in the Topeka cemetery. The family has the sympathy of the entire community in this their great loss. TWO GOOD CLUBS Topeka, the Capital City of Kansas, where more progressive Negroes reside than in any other city of the West, has now two grand organizations of the best young Negro blood in the West—organizations containing a total of over three hundred young men of push, pluck and perseverance. The Capital City and Metropolitan clubs, organized primarily for social reasons, should not stop there; the great arena of business should be entered by the united force of these two clubs. What grand results could not a friendly rivalry among the members of each club bring to pass in creating and fostering (as a unit) some business of necessity among our people. What a business in shoes, in clothing, in coal and wood, in household furniture, or in any one line, those three hundred members, their families and friends could support, thereby making employment for many of their sons and daughters, sisters and brothers who are now idle making their primary idea—social affairs—a greater reality, and securing a great boon to the Negro race in Topeka and the West along all other lines. This, with the right man at the helm, could and should bedone. Let each club appoint a committee to meet and talk over the feasibility of such a project and report the result of their deliberations and recommendations to the clubs respectively for their action accordingly. Nothing can be lost in this much at least, and wonderful are the results that can be obtained. Try it, gentlemen. ONE OF THREE HUNDRED.

JOSEPH At forty minutes past four o'clock Sunday afternoon Mr L. E. Bassett died at his home on Neosho street from a complication of diseases superinduced by rheumatism. The funeral services were conducted by St John's lodge No. 14 and the Ladies of the Eastern Star of which he was a faithful member. The funeral was held at 2:30 o'clock Tuesday afternoon from the St James Baptist church of which he was a member, preached by Rev. W. S. Blake assisted by Revs. Graves and Moss. The policemen of town all attended in a body. Mr. Bassett was born in Plattsburg, Mo. in 1859, and in 1963 came with his parents to Atchison, Kas. When nineteen years of age he came to Osage City where he labored as a miner and seven years later he came to Emporia and resided here ever since. Nine years ago he was appointed as one of the night policemen and faithfully and fearlessly discharged the arduous duties of the position in which he contracted rheumatism which led to his death. He stood very high in the estimation of his fellowmen without regard to color. He leaves a daughter, Nettie, and a sister, Mrs. Hays of El Reno, Okla. who were at his bedside at death, with a host of friends to mourn the loss. The sad feature of the death was the fact that he was to have been married Sept. 30 to Miss Alberta Bradshaw of Topeka, who was also present at his death. His remains were interred in the Maplewood cemetery. Mrs. Horton, Hauskin Ray and Miss Minnie Wakefield are on the sick list this week. A TRUE LEADER. The colored citizens of Emporia may feel thankful for a number of honorable and successful leaders, but the wheel of time has at last rolled up to their platform of induration and a true leader has evolved. Never before in the history of Emporia has a more moral and civil colored citizen shouldered the burdens of his people and endured them as his own. Mr. Armstead is a leader who leads more by actions than by talk and says, "follow me" instead of "lead and I will follow." It is to his credit that one of the most successful emancipation celebrations was gotten up which, had the weather been fayorable, would have been a day of long remembrance. Mr. Armstead is an officer of the law and is well spoken of by every person in the city. If the young people will follow the leadership of such leaders, they will place the ladder of success against the walls of the pit of fallen humanity and when the highest stage of civilization is reached and the cradle of justice rocks them into eternity the people of the twentieth century can look back on the pages of history and see that the Negro problem is no more. LAWRENCE, KANS. Miss Keith of Arkansas City is the guest of mr. and Mrs. Green Keith of North Lawrence. We are glad to see Miss Ford with us this school year. Miss Lockridge will be the guest of Mrs. Price this school year. Miss Victoria Saunders will leave soon for Oklahoma where she will teach school. Mrs. C. C.

Twelve of our girls are now engaged to be married. You had better begin laying in a store of presents, or go off on a visit. Rev. Smothers has some big plans on for the future. He never tires pushing and pressing to the front. We visited Dr. Moates of Leavenworth recently. All the colored physicians cannot help but praise him and Dr. S. H. Thompson for furnishing the people with Douglass and Mitchell Hospital. They are ethical physicians, Rev. Jones is looking for his wife on the 17th. The members ought to give her a reception. The True Eleven Business college will open on the 13th with increased attendance, The Methodists contemplate building a parsonage this conference year. C. W. Green, Mayor of Argentine, as has heretofore been stated through these columns, is the Democratic candidate for county treasurer and from present indication his election seems sure. He is a prime favorite among the colored voters by reason of the fact that he has shown himself to be their friend on all occasions, he not only as a politician gives recognition to them, but has at all times shown a spirit of encouraging them in their enterprises, and has by such conduct, made all who know him his friends. And it is such men and treatment as this that the colored people as a whole appreciate, and when the time comes that they may in a measure repay such kindness they will not hesitate to do so.
