THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. The Kansas Lincoln Day Club Will Call a State Council to Ratify the Great Republican Victory, and to Incidentally Take Up the Negroes' Interest A DAY OF THANKSGIVING VOLUME IV. President Roosevelt Has Issued a Proclamation for the Observance of a Day of Thanksgiving For What Has the Negroes of These United States to Be Thankful? Below we publish President Roosevelt's Thanksgiving proclamation If the manifesto was of such nature that the Negroes could feel that they had enjoyed the rights of freemen, all over this land that he speaks so gloriously of, they could thank their maker with the President without any fear of being molested. If the Negroes in some sections of this free land of some people would attempt to return thanks to the Lord in his own way, they would be lynched. We do not think the Negroes have anything to be proud of, so far as peace, love and happiness are concerned. The Proclamation ought to read like this. That the Southern Democrat and their sympathizers ought to return thanks for the success they have made in the last year in securing a majority of the federal positions in the gift of a Republican President who has ignored the best intelligent Negroes in the South, as brainy as any class in that section. Yet these Democrats have succeeded in fooling some into believing they are Republicans. Thanks for the Jim Crow Car law, with a Board of Rail Road Commissioners on Interstate Commerce, appointed by the President whom we have elected to carry out the law and see that all the people are equally and justly treated! It is his sworn duty and we would like him to punch up this Rail Road Commission. If they would act we could return thanks with our President. We have the House and Senate, why not pass the Crumpacker bill, or the Federal Election bill, so that all voters who love good government could exercise the Godgiven right to assist in selecting the officers to control? For this we could return thanks to the Lord, with the President. If he would remind the people of that section where lynchers abound, and burnings of human beings for 'most any offense. we would return thanks with our President. After careful and constant praying of the Negro he is in no worse condition than fifty years ago, so far as freedom is concerned. When all men are free to act, speak and vote their sentiments in these United States, from Maine to California, from the everglades of Florida to the great lakes of the North, then will we advise the Negro to return thanks for being treated as such. We have faith in our Republican President and believe before many moons he will be heard on all of these vital questions before the American people. We have so little faith in a large majority of our Representatives in Congress on these questions. They have played hide and seek on the Crumpacker bill and the Federal Election bill for years, and are driving colored voters in the North to become cold and unconcerned as to who should represent the people. Let our Republican Congressmen obey the commands of the people. If the Democrats were in control they would see to it that all Democrast could vote, and would have their ballots counted. When Republicans are not too cowardly to retain supremacy through force or right and justice, when we are treated like other people, then we will return thanes. The proclamation is as follows: "According to the yearly custom of our people, it falls upon the president at this season to appoint a day of festival and thanksgiving to God. "Over a century and a quarter has passed since the country took its place among the nations of the earth and during that time we have had on the whole more to be thankful for than has fallen to the lot of any other people. Generation after generation has grown to manhood and passed away. Each has had to bear its peculiar burdens, each to face its Kansas is True; 35,000 for Bailey and the State Ticket! They're Ours? the Enemy Who is right, God or McFarland, Stahl, Stebbins & company? The prayers at meeting on election day, asking the Divine Providence to Defeat Bert Lucas and Galen Nichols, were rained down as soon as they ascended, and brought glad tidings for Lucas and Nichols. The prayers of the righteous availeth much, but those of the hypocrite will not ascend higher than the ceiling above their heads. God reigns and the Republican party still lives in Shawnee county. special crisis and each has known years of grim trial, when the country was menaced by malice, domestic and foreign levy, when the hand of the Lord was heavy upon it in drought or flood or pestilence, when in bodily distress and anguish of soul it paid the penalty of foll, and a forward heart. Nevertheless, decade by decade, we have struggled onward and upward; we now abundantly enjoy material well being, and under the favor of the Most High we are striving earnestly to achieve moral and spiritual. The year that has just closed has been one of peace and over flowing plenty. Rarely has any people enjoyed greater prosperity than we are now enjoying. For this we render heart felt and solemn thanks to the Giver of Good; and we seek to praise Him not by words only but by deeds, by the way in which we do our duty to ourselves and to our fellowmen. "Now; therefore, I, Theodore Roosevelt, president of United States do hereby designate as a day of general thanksgiving, Thursday, the Kansas is OUR EMBLEM—LONG' MAY IT LIVE! DESPITE McFARLA Who is ripe Providence to D and Nichols. T their heads. Go twenty seventh of the coming November and do recommend that throughout the land the people cease from their ordinary occupations and in their several homes and places of worship, render unto Almighty God thanks for the manifold blessings of the past year.

"Done at the city of Washington, this 29th day of October, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and two, and of the independence of the United States, the one hundred and twenty-seventh. (Signed) (Seal) THEODORE ROOSEVELT. "By the president: "John Hay, Secretary of State." SHOULD FEEL PROVD The Republicans of Kansas should feel proud of the way and manner the committee has operated their campaign. Chairman Albaugh, Secretary Rainey and Timothy Stone of the speakers bureau, have worked TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 7, 1902. hard and zealously to bring the old ship safe into harbor. Too much praise cannot be given the speakers who canvassed the state in behalf of the Republican party. They are the educators of the people. The Hon. Paul Jones of the auditors office, was in demand all the time He was wanted in five and eight different places at the same time His ability to cope with the issues of the day cannot be surpassed; he has no peer on the rostrum. The party is indebted to him for his work. Mr. Jones in now holding a most prominent position in the office of the State Auditors for four years, being appointed by Mr. Cole. He is the first colored man in that office since Tim McCarty's days. The position, by virtue, belongs to the colored Republican from the fact that Mr. McCabe made it so and since then several colored men have tried to recapture it but failed. Mr. Jones succeeded in securing a responsible position and will continue until the people say come up higher and we believe they will say that four years hence. The colored people would like to see Hon. Seth G. Wells retain him. There is no objection. His service to the race is invaluable. Prof. W. T. Vernon of the Western University at Quindare True; 35,00 They're Ours? the Enemy LAND @ CO., THE I is right, God or McFarland, Stahl, S to Defeat Bert Lucas and Galen Nicho The prayers of the righteous availe God reigns and the Republican part made several speeches. The party is duty bound to stand by him and the Industrial School for colored youths of this state. The professor is one of the orators in this country. Mark Hanna wants his services for the National Committee in 1904 and has already employed him. GOOD WORK IN THE SOUTH. During the past three months, Miss Willa Smith, of this city, has been traveling in the South, in the interest of THE PLAINDEALER. She has worked in Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina. At present she is in Charleston, S. C., where she is doing good work and greatly increasing our list of readers. In her work in South Carolina she has been greatly assisted by Hon. E. H. Deas, chairman of the State Republican Committee. Mr. Deas has been unceasing in his efforts to assist Miss Smith and this paper. The race has no stronger or more fearless leader than Mr. Deas. His determined fight against the confirmation of Koester as Internal Revenue Collector, has made him a name among the great leaders of our people. If every Negro in the South would stand up and manfully contend against the appointment of avowed lynchers and self confessed murderers, the conditions would rapidly change. A GLORIOUS VICTORY! Republicans Clean Up in State and County. Tuesday's Battle of Ballots | Proved Disastrous to Stahl and His Independent Hosts. The Republicans have swept Kauass and elected W. J. Bailey by 35,000 majority. The House will have at least 93 Republican members, wich is a large working majority. They have elected the entire Congressional delegation and sixteen out of seventeen District Judges. Old Shawnee county covers herself with glory. Lucas and Nichols, against whom the fight was centered, were elected by majorities of above 1,600 to 1,700. McFarland, Jackson and Co., were shut out at the quarter stretch. This should be a lesson to others who may attempt to follow in their footsteps. Prayers by hypocrites do not prevail much From the Southland JACKSONVILLE, FLA., Oct. 27.—Dear Mr. Chiles: I must inform you that I am well and hope you are well 00 for Bailey PRAYERS OF THE Stebbins & company? The prayers of the schools, were rained down as soon as the mileth much, but those of the hypocrite party still lives in Shawnee county. also. I have just made a tour through the land of your boyhood. Also the coast of "Good old Georgia Happy land." I think the one who composed that song ever had the experience in Georgia that I had, they would make those words visa versa. That is the state where the Negroes surely must jump sideways, and keep their eyes open. The strange part is that they are more insulting in large cities than they are in small towns. You hear no complaint among the colored people in the rural districts. Once in a while you may be attracted by a yell, a gun-shot by some "yaho" but they are so near famished from poor living that is about as far as he can go but I will give you an idea of Augusta and towns of that size. For instance, a street car is going to Wasburn College with colored people in the back seat going out and when the trolley rod is reversed, the colored people would, of course, be in front coming back. In Georgia they would have to go back to the rear of the car. If seat runs length wise they all sit on the rear ends. Every once and a while the conductor comes in and hustles the already packed bunch closer together. To say yes or no, or call a white man by his name is almost like spitting in his face. I have not much dealing with any of them but when I do I always treat him in the same manner and terms that he treats me. I cannot inform you much in regard to the colored man's fare in the south but will say that is about the same as when you were a resident here. If I was compelled to live in the south I would prefer North or South Carolina. In the large cities of these states colored folks are all you see on the street cars and seem so jolly and contented and in such large numbers it makes you feel that you are glad you came even it from some distant land. You encounter all kinds of darkies in this country. I saw a class or tribe last week where they were camped for dinner. All looked to be well fed and though they were black one could see that good blood flowed under their skin. They seemed to be well content among their native cotton hills. Even the show with its four mighty sections and all its white and colored visitors had no attraction for them. Then I met the regular raggeddy happy Jack on the EY and the STAR THE RIGHTEOUS HAVE ers at meeting on election day, ask us they ascended, and brought glad ti orite will not ascend higher than the coast of Georgia with a head and shoulder like a pop bottle. They were in for most anything. He was willing to follow the show for nothing just to get north. I don't blame him for that for if he could do anything or even behave himself after getting up there. The reason I say this is because some people of the north are saying that the southern migrates do not make good citizens. Only the steam boat and crap shooting fraternity go north, leaving the good folks at home. When they do go they go into the far west. Where ever they go the Ethiopian's road is hard but I believe he has a reward coming even if it is in the far future. Of all the races and nations, he with all his insults, embarrassment, unfairness, slavery robbed of his daily bread and labor, he is the only race that does not hate another. the be ergia the length ends. I have just returned from Lily France. The weather is only eighty-seven in the shade. Yours Truly, Wm. ABEL. Forepaugh and Sell Bros. Shows. NEGROES NOT DYING FAST Below, we reproduce a clipping from a Southern paper on the future existence of the race. We are multiplying finely; for every one they lynch many others come on. "We do not belive the Negro is 'dying out.' That he is dying more numerously in freedom than he did in slavery, we do believe; but nobody knows, since there were no statistics on the subject until 1880, worthy of the name. Whether or not the Negro's catalogue of diseases has been increased rapidly since 1865, is unknown. The assertion that there has been a notable increase rests on nothing better than another guess. One point we have had fairly well ascertained—the Negro increases faster than his white fellow citizen does. The three census investigations of 1880, 1890 and 1900 make this very plain. There were Negroes in the Southern states—former slave states—at different decimal periods as follows: 1870.....4,538,000 1880.....7,089,000 ate Ticket! RIGHT AND JUSTICE STILL PREVAILS E BEEN ANSWERED asking the Divine d tidings for Lucas the ceiling above 1890.....6,869,000 1900 .....8,500,000 "The figures for 1900 are approximated, but they are very close to the fact The thirty years covered show an increase of about 75 per cent, or 25 per cent per decade. Does that look like the record of a dying race? We think not, and such facts as we produce here, from the record, are worth a million tons of speculation, prognostication, and other methods of guessing. "That the Negro has fallen heir to most of the diseases peculiar to the master race, is probably true; and why shouldn't he? Hasn't he been free for nearly forty years, and therefore privileged to poison himself with mean whiskey and worse tobacco? Hasn't he the same 'inalienable right' as the white man has to 'fill himself with narcotic drugs until he superinduces the diseases NUMBER 43. Notwithstanding the Fact That Negroes are Lynched and Burned at the Stake, the Race is Constantly Increasing in Numbers and are Not Dying Out as is Hoped by Southerners. the habitual use of narcotic drugs produces? Certes! And the Negro as a freeman would never come to anything of account unless he were free on all hands, and went through the sifting process that insures the survival of the fittest. "The pioneer life of the white race on this continent, for a hundred years, killed off the weak and, timid, and left a race of bold, gigantic men that still survives in Kentucky, Tennessee and other states. Those were men and women fit to produce the stalwart and strenuous fellows who conquered Mexico and civilized the vast Louisiana purchase—they and the overflow from New England and the North. What the better educated and possibly more fit Negro the next half century will develop, may do to justify the white people in educating him is something we can but fairly divine. But it is certain the Negro will be with our grand children in far greater numbers than he is here in our day. And probably we may best leave it to our descendents to deal with the situation then, as we have to deal with that which confronts us. "The Negro is not only not dying out, but there is very clear proof that he multiplies rapidly, and thus carries 'the problem' of the present on the wings of prophecy into the dim future.—Chattanooga Times." RACE MEN AND WOMEN MEET. A great many race men and ladies will meet Christmas, in the city of Topeka, in secret session, under the auspices of the Imperium of the True Eleven. After a two days session they will close with a great, open, free feast at the Auditorium on the 1st day of January. This will be a jamboree celebration of Emancipation. No money machine. This is the real day the race was set free. Many of the best people of Topeka will be invited to take part. Most all the cities in the state will be represented. This meeting will be one jong to be remembered by those who have any real interest in the welfare of their race. Many facts will be revealed that cannot be explained in the open. The Irish have their Patriotic Leagues. The Chinamen have their Four Companies with headquarters at San Francisco, Cal. The Italians have their race organizations in this country, and every other white blood have theirs for the healthful promotion of their respective kind. Can the Negro stand longer apart opposing one in his own circle? What a power in our own defense will we be when the big Negroes on stilts will come down and sincerely get together like the true patriots of many historic races, whose records are known to us. Other races are laughing in derision at our slowness in coming together on a subject that should be vital and sacred to us. Some of the leaders of South Carolina have written us to hasten our system of Union there. Their petition will be complied with. Let all Kansans meet Christmas. Topeka Plaindealer.

FRIDAY, NOV. 7, 1902 EDITORIAL COMMENT This Morning, the Democratic Cock Fails to Stand ```markdown ``` The County Election. Unquestionably one of the most bitterly fought campaign in the history of Shawnee County has closed. The straight Republican ticket, in the face of bitter opposition has won with safe majority for each candidate. Every political element and ism opposed to the only party that has ever given the faintest sem- blance of prohibition to this state resorted to every known device to bring defeat to the Republican nominees. For over a year the Anti-Republican elements headed by rabid eclesiastical shouters have labored incessantly against A. T. Lucas and Galen Nichols. The result of the election on Tuesday in this county shows beyond the shadow of doubt that the people are sick and tired of the "tommy rot" about "joints and open saloons," and that they have full confidence in the Republican party to enforce all laws. The State. Returns from all parts of the state show that the entire state ticket has won, and that the party will have a safe margin in both branches of our legislature insuring the election of a Republican successor to Senator W. A. Harris. In spite of the strong opposition of party bolters, Tom Kelly has won. Thanks, Brother Kaiser. No man in Kansas enjoys a higher place in the esteem and respect of this paper than this Hon. Dell Kaiser of the Topeka Daily Herald. His kindly recognition of the sagacity of the business manager of this paper places us under lasting obligation to him. We are growing some flowers now so that we may send him a bouquet afterwhile. However we are willing to leave it to a fair minded public to point out which party attempted intimidation. The Republican party did not station big burly foot ball coaches and hyporcritical preaches at the polls to bulldoze the voters. So there now. NEGROES USEFUL AS SCAPEGOATS The almighty lynch demon is still abroad in the land. Scarcely can we pick up a daily paper without reading of burnings at the stake, etc. The law-abiding whites of the South have ceased lynching Negroes for successful or attempted assault. They lynch for barn burning, talking "biggity" to white folks, or speaking in uncomplimentary terms of any 619 KANSAS BARNUM'S AVE. AT ONCE AT ACTUAL COST Adding Expense of Handling.

But we are still stubborn as to absorbing the general belief that Negroes are given to the committing of assaults upon women of the more favored race. We still hold that they have, as in ante-bellum times, a disposition more to protect than as sault. And occasionally a striking instance is brought to our notice, which confirms our belief that the black man is being used as a scapegoat for the hell-born designs of criminal white men. Take that occurrence in Louisiana recently, where two white women dressed themselves so as to look like Negro men, and in this garb divert attention or suspicion from any whites as the possible murderers of that white woman in whose home they knew there were $2,000 pension money which they were bent on getting. Had they not been shot, one or two innocent Negroes would have suffered agonizing torture and and death for supposed assault and murder, no doubt.

The cries of the wife were heard by a neighbor who reached the scene in time to fire at the retreating signres of two Negroes (?). One was shot down, and lo! he turned out to be one of Lauren's most respected young white men, blacked up and dressed like a Negro man. The other, similarly attired, escaped. Can you not easily state what, in all probability, would have been the result if both had escaped? I. these instances pistol balls fired to hit, prevented the entirely successful operation of the black, unpardonable plots. Is it, then, too much to assert that at least half or more of the successful plots to assault, are carried out by "artists of the burnt cork?" Somehow, we feel that our poor, defenseless fellow Afro-Americans are being unjustly used as scapegoats in most instances that bring down the wrath of lynch law upon their heads. It is so easy to make up like a Negro. The minstrels are teaching the art to the masses yearly as they travel the country over. Will time yet teach the Negro to make up in appearance like the whites so as to commit crimes and escape identification and deserved punishment? We do truly hope not. NEGRO ADVANCEMENT. The Chicago Tribune, one of the fairest and greatest daily papers in this country, gives its readers an editorial on the "Negro Advancement" from which we reproduce the following: "A few days ago the papers made some remarks about the census bulletin on illiteracy. In the course of those remarks they called attention to the unfortunate effect which the presence of the Negroes has upon the figures for the south. It is confronting to find that a closer study of the statistics and a comparison of them with the census of 1890 show the effect mentioned is becoming less untunate every year. Each year the percentage of Negroes who cannot read and write grows appreciably smaller. "In 1890 the total number of Negroes over ten years of age was 5,328,000. The percetage of illiteracy was 571. In 1800 the number of Negroes over ten years of age was 6,412,000, the percentage of illiteracy was 446. The most conservative must admit this showing, if it can be taken at its face value, verges on remarkable. The Negroes have not neglected all their opportunities. They are sending their children to school. If they continue to send them there with the same crescendo of enthusiasm as at present, the middle of the century will see the percentage of Negro illiteracy reduced to less than ten. --- This week per square yd.....19c 25 pieces Imported Luceum of highest grade, of most artistic floral and tile designs.

LINCOLN NEW& most delightful rec the season was given day evening, at which in Woods entertained club and his friend 'PLEASONTON. Rev. Sadie Allen, one of the most noble colored women that ever lived in the state, died here November 3, while visiting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Smith. She was one of Linn county's oldest settlers and in the palmy days of Galena, she and her husband moved there and invested in lead and zinc mines. They were prosperous and succeeded in accumulating a large amount of property and money. Two or three years ago they moved to Colorado Springs. Colo., for the benefit of the husband's failing health which he never regained. In a few months he passed away. Mrs. Allen was a member of the Kansas A.M. R. conference and often did work as an evangelist. She possessed a business ability that will be a proud and living example to the younger generation. In Colorado Springs she conducted a boarding house and also operated a fine barber shop. She leaves two daughters, Edna and Beulah, the latter a student in Quindaro University, and a host of warm friends to mourn her demise. A bright and useful life has been closed but the christian example of Mrs. Allen, and her efforts to elevate the race, will live for years to come, and her sudden death is a shock to the entire community. JOPLIN MO. COFFEYVILLE, KAS. On October 28th the young people numbering about twenty, gave a surprise party on Rev. Sir Allen Garner, at the residence of Rev. Joseph Smith, on East 11th st. James Thurman, one of the bright young men of Coffeyville, was the leader and with switches from peach trees and clubs—you know the rest. The young people had a delightful time. Ice cream and cake were served in the latest style and Sir Allen will long remember the night. Birth days come but once a year and young folks must have some enjoyment. The Temple and Tabernacle are doing fairly well and all are very well, there not being much sickness. Rev. D. D. Payne, pastor of Sardis Baptist church, had a successful rally the 4th Sunday in October. $71.76 was taken in and a few more such rallies will put the church out of debt. Rev. Smith is running a series of meetings in the Tabernacle, which has a seating capacity of 2,000. Coffeyville is greatly stirred up in regard to soul saving, both colored and white. So much is this so that at 8 o'clock in the morning business is suspended and the workmen are all called in from labor and an hour is spent in prayer meeting. May God bless the good work and may souls be brought to Jesus. J. W. Kirby has bought a lot in Dorn's addition and will build in the spring. B. Bush has also bought a lot and now has the foundation in for his house. I am proud to see so many of our Coffeyville people with enough energy to stop paying rent. They soon buy a place from the white man in renting, and still have no home. My advice for every colored person is, to purchase a home of his own and stand together. This is the only way to gain a foothold in the land. May God help us all to look forward and not backward. C. G. O. OAKLAND, CAL. OAKLAND, CAL., Oct. 20.
