Bailey Waggener’s bill lor a separate high school in the city of Atchison.| Mr. Waggeneris not the father of this bill. but offers it by reauest and says he will not push it if the colored people don’ want. He is aman wno carries no prejudices, here 18 aclass ot people m all commu nities wha try to nppress those that uredown, They select the weak, the poor and ignurant tor their prey. The better class of whites want to| see the Negroes rise and are always glad to have the opportunity to teach them. ‘The children attending the same school with different na tionalities learn from experience an object lesson of what may be expect ed through life. Atchison being so ~close to Missouri, those Negro haters might send their children across the river. The idea of building a sepa- rate High school for eight or ten colored people 1s ridiculous. ‘Those people why think their children too good to attend public schools for the reason that a few poor colored peo- pleare trying coenlighten themselves to make bettercitizeus, should move ‘out of the country. ‘Taxes are paid to support the pub lic schools and everyhody 1s entitled to the Lenefits thereof, Let the col- ored citizens of Atchison, along with their white friends, petition Mr. Waggener to withdraw the bill, He says he will if requested. ‘The Negroes of AtchisOn are on tial. We know there ure some hypocrites and backshders there. Smoke them out. Call a meeting, protesting against this. The whole state uf Kansas is interested in this bill, It will lead to so uething cle Read Maj. Ford's Ft.

The colored pupils who ar educated with the whites have mor ambition for competition than the would in separate schools. ‘The fa cilities for teaching in a white schoc especially in the High school, are s much different that there is no com parison, Take Chemistry taught i the High school; tu keep this de parimentin first class shapz cost several dollarseacn year.

Epitor PcainvEaLer: Senator Waggener bas introduced a bill to establish a separate High school in Atcnison, for Negroes, at is said at the urgent request of the leading Ne- groes of the state. I dun’t know who the leading Negrues are, who are urging the passage of such a bill Tdo know that it 1s a masure we should urge only as a last resort, aud atter maturedeliberation. Any ‘one why has Leen the least observ: ant can see how inferior the graded ‘school buildings provided for Negrc children are to thuse provided for ‘the whites, and the locatiuns of those Ihuthdings are usually in such remote ‘and secluded places as a strange | wouta go in questot a pest house, | itis absurd to hop» that citie: jibat are now overburdened wut school debts would make the prepa | ration aud-cutlay for a colored Higt school commensurate with the Hig?

NEWS. ‘The colored citizens of Los Angeles recelved -one of the greatest New Years gifts, on New Years day, Jan- uary 1, 1903, that they have ever known to have recelved since Los Angeles has been called a village. ‘This gift was a visit from Prof. Booker T. Washington. of Tuskegee, Ala. Phe colored citizens were not alone in receiving with high honor, their noted visitor, but he was received with equal If not more higher honors by the white citizens, and considered by ail classes of them as the man of the hour, To reproduce In detail the addressee of Prof, Washington is not at this time at all necessary, as bis lectures aré | 20 ‘well known among all reading peo ple. Prof. Washington arrived In Lo: Angeles on New "Years day, and wa: met at the depot by a committee an was escorted to the :follenbeck hotel one of the largest, and finest hotel In the clty, where he remained a gues until his departure. ‘The white Teacher's State Institut: which met In Los Angeles the week of Prof. Washington's arrival, had him slated to deliver them an address. Long before the hour bad arrived when Prof. Washington was to deliver hls address Yhe Hazzard’s Pavillion, which had = seating capacity of 3,000 people, was ‘packed with no space for standers. Booker T. delivered his address on education, ending up on the race prob- Jem as fs usual for hin; to do. Immediately upon ending his address to the Institute, he received an, invita- tion to addresg the Woman's Club, a large organization of white women, and the two leading white papers as- sert in thelr columns that never in the bistory of Los Angeles has any visitor been recelved with more higner honors than Prof. Washington received by these two organizations. Not even the president of the United States, the papers added. This statement can be verified by thousands of eye witnesses who were present. Saturday night Booker T. adddressed the colored citizens of Los Angeles at least he attempted to do so, but the white citizens were on the scene as thick as ants. However the addres: was delivered at Simpson's Tabernacle which has a seating capacity of 6,00 people, which was crowded to Its ut most with black and white. Booker T. has no new Issue. His lecture wa centered on the normat and industria training of the negro, boy and gir which bas taken much effect on th ‘| Los Angeles people. Sunday night Booker T. was slate {10 speak at the Congregational church cone of the largest churches in the elty and as was usual, the bullding wa crowded Lefore the hour had acrive ,| to assemble, || When the hour had arrived to speal there was such a large crowd on th .| outside who could not gain entranc | that Prof, Washington was asked address those outeide first, whieh h .) di. It was said by our leading whit papors, which was verltied by thot "| sands, that never in the history of Le -| Angeles: had such a crowd gathere | to listen to a sneaker. Prof. Was! “jington, while sojourning In Los AI , | Bete. visited the elty of Pasadena, city of 10,000 inhabitants within th! e|ty minutes’ ride from Los Angele | | where he was received with equal ho ors as in Los Angeles. "| How much the citizens, both whi e|and colored, appreciated Brooker ’ Washington and the noble work in which he Is engaged was shown by the large contributions given bim on all the above stated occasions, One white gentleman who heard Prof. Wasbing: ton speak, became so much interested in bim and his work, that he called al Prof. Washington's hotel the follow. ing day and waited for three hours for him to arrive and presented him (B. T.) with ($500.00,) five hundred dollars, and after exchanging a few words with Prof. Washington, depart. ed, refusing to give bis name. ‘Monday evening Prof. Washingtor was tendered a grand reception by Mr ‘and Mrs, R. C. Owens, one of the prom nent and wealthy colored citizens 0 Los Angeles. At the close of the re ception, he was presented with $125. (one hundred and twenty-five dollars) donated to his work by Mr, and Mrs R. C. Owens. He left Tuesday for Santiago, Cal. ‘The manner in which Prof. Wash ington was received and honored by the white people only proves to us tha when the negro as a race, attains te that height of normal industral train ing for which Prof. Washington is s esrnestly laboring, he can and will de mand that respect which Is due bin from every class of people in Americ: and elsewhere. | 8, P.

FRIDAY, JAN. 23, 1903. On Separate Schools. justly celebrated political advises and legal solicitor of the Missou- riPacific Railroad, and at the same time the head and front o' the Democratic party in the pres: ent legislature, has, by reason o! a bill authonzing Atchison tc build and maintain a separate High school for the education of Negro children, brought this very important question before the public. We shall rely upon the overwhelming Republican majonty to completely smother this decidly unAmerican measure. If the legislature of Kansas de- sires to signalize its belief in the oneness of American heterogeni- ty, they will repeal the present unconstitutional law, permitting some cities to separate the col- ored and white children in the Jower grades. The present sys- tem practiced in parts of Kansas, and in the Southern states, in deference to a supposed race- prejudice, is diametrically oppos- ed to the fundamental principles of the great American public school system. The average cit- izen understands the public school system of this country to be especially designed with a view to developing the highest type of manhood and woman- hood, and the exemplification of the Biblical prayer, ‘* Bzhold, hew good, and how pleasant it is for men to dwell together in peace."’ There is nothing in the separate school system that lead: upto this ideal. On the other hand, there is everything in tt, that feeds this spirit of race pre- judice. Itisa well known fact that prejudice against Negroes in Kansas is stronger today than it was twenty, ten, or even five years ago, and that it is daily growing stronger. Nothing has contributed so much to this as has the separation of the public schools. This has accentuated the natnral prejudice, and has been followed by the closing o! many positions to Negroes. No! alone has this been a burden te the Negro, but it has been anc tsa burden to the tax-payerso the state. To increase this bur den of debt by the establishmen and maijatenance of separat High schools in cities where ther are less than a hundred pupils t “attend them, 1s a big piece of fol ly and would result in the failur ofthe pupils attending receivin equal facilities. It isa well know factthat in the providing of equ: : facilities in the lower grades, < _ the present time, the Negz ’ schools look like thirty cents be i side the white schools. The Ne * groes of Atehison, Kansas, nee : no separate high school, and tl =, Republican legislators of Kans < should see to it that the bill i es troduced by Mr. Waggene as ould be consigned to its fin — place—the grave. The Ingatls Letter. Tobe bratally frank, is par- ,donable sometimes. The publi- reation ofa posthumus letter o| “the late ex-Senator John J. In- “galls, in this paper, tells a bru- tally frank story of the view of 2 great American, touching the race problem. “It is characterist- ic of Ingalls. The unfortunate thing about Mr. Ingalls is that he was not black. Had he been permitted by Almighty God the exquisite pleasure of changing his color, if only for a brief interval, and ‘viewed the landscape o’er’’ through the Negro’s spectacles,- and familiarized himself with va rious obstacles hedging the Ne- gro’s aspirations and ambitions, avastly different tone would have been given to his utterances. No one knows better than the hum- blest Negro the utter futility of armed resistance to his present environment. It is easy enough to talk thesethings, but to put | them in action is an uttzt impos- sibility. There is but one way of solving the Negro problem, and that is for every one to strive to make the most of him- self, at the same time seek- ing todo something for the uplift of one another. It is historically true, as Mr. Ingalls stated, that there are more Negroes in Amer- ica today than there were Amer- ican colonistsin 1776; and then, it is not an unreasonable as- sumption, that French interfer- rerence was the salvation of the same colonist , just the same as American interference freed Cuba trom Spanish rule. A revolt of the American Negro against Southern moblaw, lynchings and prescription, would be followed by a massacre of Negrees, beside which the bloody night of St. Bartholomew would be a farce- comedy. In such a case no European nation would dare to interfere in a civil war, and the Negro would be left to the tender mercies of the ‘‘Anglo- Saxons." The destiny of the American Negro is in himself. His succes will not come through abject submission to outrage and insult, nor to blindly following misguided counsels. Our suc- cess will come through honestly’ laboring, aud saving a portion of our earning; and developing busi- ness enterprises thereby employ- ing our boys and girls. A H. Walton, Dead | A. H. Walton of Leavenworth, is dead. This sad newswill not shock the world, but it will be a ‘shock to his many friends, Wal- ton was in many respects a re- markable man. Employed for many years aS a teacher in the public schools of the city of Leav- enworth, he had gone in and out among the children, an example of the honest, upright man seek- ing to do the most good with the least ostentation.

The churches of the Northwestern Baptist association no doubt wonder why the Minutes of the last session are not out. The cause of the delay first, was the failure of some of the secretaries to send their manuscriet on time, thus allowing other work to be rushed into the hands of the printer ahead of us, and by so doing, the printers say they have been unable to secure enough printers to do the work. In order to rush matters, they have been compelled to purchase an electrical dinamo, which is being placed in the shop this week, and they assure us that they will be out in a very few days. J. E. LEWIS, GUESS WHO. Guess who sent a bouquet to a young lady and she sent the same back to him informing him that her pin money amounted to more than his salary.
