THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. NEW COLLEGE FOR TOPEKA VOLUME V. Dr. A. S. Embree Views the Matter from a Logical Standpoint. We Have the Best Facilities and Some Day the "University of Topeka" Will Be a Possibility. Let's Work for it. The name of Mrs. Eliza Chrisman has always been associated with pure benevolence. Years ago during the boom when every citizen dreamed of the time that our city limits would reach the Shawnee county lines, there was much talk of a Topeka University. A university to which all the world might send its youth for the purpose of securing inspiration for higher citizenship. A charter was secured and a magnificent grounds was purchased near the city, then the boom collapsed and the Topeka University went down in the crash. When Mrs. Chrisman died a few years ago, she left one hundred thousand dollars for the purpose of founding a college in Topeka and named A. S. Embree as trustee. No better selection could have been made, a man of splendid educational ability supplemented with many years of service on the board of education in this city. He is eminently fitted for the place. How well he is discharging the duties of his trust is seen by a preliminary meeting held in this city a few days ago. THE PLAINDEALER feels especially proud of the privilege of giving to its many readers the full text of Rev. Embree's splendid address. The school, if founded, as it surely will be, will be open to all classes of people regardless of nationality. The principal address, made by Dr. Embree, was as follows: "If you would propose to build another college in Kansas the average person would say we have colleges enough, too many in fact, and with this the matter would be disposed of so far as he was concerned. "Now the truth is there is not another field in the United States so large in extent, in population, in wealth and intelligence with college facilities so limited in number and equipment as this. On paper we have enough, too many, but of places in which to get that kind of an education which is properly called collegiate we have just four in the state. "We have business schools calling themselves colleges and academies calling themselves universities but of real colleges we have four with an aggregate attendance of less than a thousand and the work of these is largely confined to the several localities in which they are respectively located. Of the 483 Kansas students in the college department of the State University 1901-2, almost one-fourth reside in the town of Lawrence and considerably more than one half of the remainder live in the twenty-six counties nearest our eastern border. Of the 167 collegians in Baker university thirty-four live in Baldwin and a majority of the remainder in the southeastern portion of the state. "Of the 136 collegians at Washburn sixty-eight, exactly one-half, reside in Shawnee county, and of the ninety-five at Ottawa more than one-half claim that town as their home. The college catalogue for the last year claims a single student from twenty-nine counties in the state, nine counties claim but one each, threee counties but two each and fifty counties of the state do not have fifty college students all told in the colleges of the state. "Ten counties lying immediately round these colleges with an aggregate population of two hundred and sixty-three thousand report sixty-eight students all told. "But let us consider something a little farther along on this line. From Denver to Chicago is a long ride over the most fertile, the most rapidly growing district in the world, but travel by what route you please you will not pass the doors of equipped institution doing university work upon a scale of sufficient liberality and dignity to meet the needs of the people, at least five millions of whom are in Missouri, Oklahoma and Kansas. As a consequence of this the students from this field go elsewhere of necesity. One hundred and twenty-five young men from Kansas are in Yale college today, scores and scores of them are in the Chicago and Northwestern universities, Columbia. Princeton, Wellesley, the University of Pennsylvania, the Women's college at Baltimore and a number of others and thus it has been for years that Kansas money and Kansas talent has gone to eastern institutions and remained there to our disadvantage. "Now if it were proposed to build an additional college in this great field the project would find ample apology in its necessity. What Kansas needs now and must and will have some day is an institution presided over by a man of national reputation, with men of the broadest scholarship in its chairs, with all the departments suited to this inventive and progressive age, with a great denomination behind it pledged to its moral conduct and material support and put in some railway center accessible without delay to all parts of the state. And such a proposition should be made and if made I am assured would be hailed with open purse in all parts of our commonwealth. And it should be made by the Methodists, not because Methodism is superior to other religious faiths, but for this simple and sensible reason that there are more Methodists in this region than there are of any four or five of the sister churches combined. "Not to make indelicate comparisons but to get to the facts let me say that there is one Methodist to every fourteen of the state's population, one Presbterian to every fifty-six, one Bapti-t to every sixty-six, and one Congregationalist to every one hundred and seven. And I believe that not only Methodists but all classes of our best citizens would give hearty and prudent support to an institution founded upon the generous lines already indicated. That a people should raise in one year a crop of wheat worth twenty times the cost of its railroads, should take from the surface of the grounds in one year values amounting to two hundred and sixteen million dollars and have horses, cattle and hogs worth one hundred and fifty five millions more, not counting coal nor oil, zinc nor salt; that a people like that, increasing in wealth at the rate of twenty-three millions of dollars a year should not be willing to do anything decent and desirable is to deny all history, un-Kansan and not as we are most pleased to think. "But for all that we do not make that proposition. We do not propose an additional college. "If the future should demand it, if any great number of the parents of the state not able to be accommodated in colleges already established should very much desire it, if some future proposition should be made to centralize and unify existing educational agencies now doing college work, then at that time we would feel free to examine carefully and possibly act upon the broader lines, but for the present we are candid when we say that we recognize the work done by existing institutions and refuse to interfere with that work by dividing it. "We do propose the establishment of a university upon the broadest possible lines and of the most practical advantage. The reasons which move us in this may be of interest. "Some years ago a charter was obtained, and is still in effect authorizing the establishment of the University of Topeka. Some land was bought and some work was done, which was stopped by a period of financial distress. Among the friends of that movement was a woman who earned, in a very literal sense, worldwide gratitude for her benevolence and universal respect for her saintl- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING; FEB. 13, 1903. M. B. MR. FRANK A. LEWIS, The Laboring and Business Men's Candidate for Mayor. that the financial distress was but a passing cloud, and that her life was drawing to a close, took counsel of all those men within reach whose broad mindedness and financial skill made their advice valuable, upon two propositions: Can the University of Topeka be built, and if so where should it be located, within the city or just outside of it? These men consulted her without exception to the effect that a large bequest from her, available at some future time would doubtless secure the institution, and that it should be placed within the city, both for the profit of its mercants and the convenience of those who attend it. Her will was made as suggested. "Within a year after her death that executor, who was more especially charged with the rounding of the institution contemplated, learned by conterence with the proper parties representing some of the existing institutions that another college added to the list would divide the field and add to the emerassment, two of these representatives in particular were earnest in the attempt to show that their burdens were already great enough. Feeling that there was reason in this and in the interest of a complete understanding our purpose with reference to a university proper was published in the form of an interview in the State Journal nearly two years ago, and from that time until now has been the subject of investigation and preparation. "But there were other reasons for The Labor this action. A university is not only a needed expansion of our educational facilities, but it is more nearly within the means at hand. Colleges are expensive, always expensive. Larger endowments are an absolute essential to college success. Tuition fees cannot be made high enough to cover the cost without becoming prohibitive. But with professional, the higher mechanical, engineering and art education the reverse is more nearly true. "The New York Law colllege, as I am informed is a piece of private property with princely profits. The Jefferson Medical college is another. The dentistry department is a money maker in the Northwestern university. The last named institution paid three-quarters of a million dollars for a building in Chicago in which it has installed its law, medical and dental schools, and expects as I am told, a reasonable return on the investment. We have a good town, a good people, railways touching every part of the state, libraries professional and general, to whose support the state is pledged; courts, conventions, hospitals, and asylums, which already constitute a plan more valuable than that of the state university at Lawrence; advantages which no other town in a very broad region can have even with unlimited money; shops open to the mechanical student of every grade, and last but not least, enough money in prospect to house all these schools and unlimited employment for students who must work their way through, and recognizing what is our by way of natural advantage and the benevolence of Mrs. Christman, we A NEW RICHMOND IN THE FIELD! A NEW RICHMOND IN THE FIELD! F. A. Lewis, an Old-timer of the Young Crowd Is an Avowed Candidate for Mayor of the Growing City of Topeka-He Stands for a Greater Topeka. Frank A. Lewis, agent for the Pacific Express, United States Express, and Union Pacific railway, has announced that he will be a candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor, and makes the following public statement: "I have consented to become a candidate for mayor after a consultation with a number of responsible business men, who represent large commercial and property interests in Topeka. I believe there is a vast majority of the people of this city who deem it inadvisable to subordinate every material interest to the question of prohibition or its opposite. The city is growing rapidly, and in order to facilitate this advancement we ought to have a strictly business administration. If elected mayor I will use every effort to make Topeka a larger and more important commercial center. We can reduce our taxes and increase our population fifty per cent, within two years if we will all make the MR. FRANK A. LEWIS, ing and Business Men's Candidate proper effort. Yours respectfully, F. A. LEWIS" "I think there's nothing more to be said," remarked Mr. Lewis, as he finished writing the above and handed it to a reporter for the State Journal. "That explains my position, I am not going to make my campaign on the old lines. I do not profess to be the official 'dry' candidate. There are two of them already. I expect to be called the 'whisky candidate' and to be a target (or any amount of mud slinging). I believe that I have a good chance to be nominated on the straight issue of a business like administration of Topeka's affairs." From the pointed remarks of the gentleman, he evidently means business and that is what Topeka needs. He comes fresh from the people, and belongs to no faction or class, and above all is not tied up by pledges. He wants our taxes reduced, and the laboring and business interest demand such a man. Mr. Lewis is forty-two years old, and has lived in Topeka for thirty-five years. He was born at Newburg, Ind., September 5, 1890, and with his parents came to Topeka in 1867. For twenty years he has been connected with the companies for which he is now Topeka agent. He is now secretary and treasurer of the Topeka club. Col. J. W. F. Hughes, the candidate of the Law and Order forces for mayor, is before the people office. He filled the office for nine months in 1991, when the supreme court decided that Albert Parker, the present incumbent was rightfully elected. During those nine months the Colonel devoted all his time to the office, and personally sought into the well fare of the city's interest. He is a man of high integrity, honest and reliable. He only asks the people to give him their support if they believe he tried to do his duty while serving as mayor. If elected he promises to be mayor for all the people and all shall have fair consideration at his hands. Judge C. A. McGraw has an nounced his candidacy for judge of the court of Topeka, subject to the Republican primaries. He was born in Ohio, came to Kansas in 1880, was a student at Washburn college and earned his livelihood by circulating the Daily Capital and Evening Journal. He graduated from the law department at K. U., and is now serving his fourth year as police judge of this city. He was first appointed by Mayor Drew and re-appointed by Mayor Parker. He is well versed in law and is fully up to handling the business of the city court of Topeka. If elected, he promises not to be a candidate for the third term, Hon. W. A. S. Bird announces himself as a candidate for city attorney, subject to the Republican primaries He has served the city in that capacity several times before and is well versed in the needs of te for Mayor. the city. He stands high in the ranks of several secret orders in this city and wields quite an influence among the people in general. He has pushed several cases of importance to the success of the city, and he now seeks the support of all those who know of his official acts and also those that may take the time to inquire into them. He wishes the ladies to remember him as they did before when they assisted in electing him to the office he now seeks again. W. S. Burgenthal announces himself as a candidate for mayor of the city of Topeka, subject to the Republican primaries. He was reared in Indiana, casted his first vote for James G. Blaine, and departed the same day for Kansas. He has resided on the North side since his arrival in the state. He was connected with the Thomas Lumber Co., for over fifteen years, is now a member of the city council and served as chairman of several important committees. Mr. Burgenthal is thoroughly identified with Topeka and her growth. If elected, he will give a new deal. He is not connected with any faction, and can be relied upon to do what the people want. He is a thorough business man, and is now engaged in the real estate and loan business. E. E. Lair, the popular young stalwart, of the Second ward, announces himself as a candidate for clerk. He is on the Ed. Hoch order, has worked hard for the party without reward or favor. He now seeks the support of his party and those he has helped. Mr. Lair believes in strengthening the party by putting the best material forward. Look out for him, he knows he is a winner! GATHERED HERE AND THERE That ever ready and staunch defender of the Negro's rights, The Boston Journal gives some interesting facts in regard to the Negro farming element and their property holdings. The Negro's stake is in the American soil, and until he becomes convinced of this fact, he will be the serf and slave of this country. The man who is a producer is beholden to no one, and others are bound to respect his rights. The Journal speaks as follows: There still arises some one now and then who, in despair of satisfactory and honorable settlement of the long-pending Negro problem in America, suggests the deportation of the Negro as the only remedy. Precisely how nine million colored people are to be induced to migrate, to what countries they are to go, and from what quarters the funds are to be provided for their movement, are matters of detail which those who suggest the remedy do not take the trouble to consider. Neither, apparently, have they reflected upon what would happen to the material interests of this country if so vast a supply of labor were withdrawn. But there is another suggestion, little regarded, which would be conclusive even if no other obstacle existed to the execution of this plan. This is the enormous stake which the Negro, since he was freed, has acquired in American soil. Judge Emery Speer, of Georgia, in his striking address at Buffalo, directed attention to this point. He quoted the census tabulations, which show that the Negro farmers of this country now own and operate 746, 717 farms. These include more than thirty-eight million acres, and their value is almost exactly five hundred million dollars. In Judge Speer's own state of Georgia there are nearly 83,000 farms owned and operated by Negroes, with an acreage of nearly 5,500,000 and a value of about $44,000,000. Not only have the Negroes possessed themselves of this large number of farms, but they are cultivating them with singular thrift and success. In the year of 1899 they expanded upon them for labor and fertilizers less than $15,000,000 and their crops were valued at $256,000,-000. This gave them a net profit of 48 per cent. on their investment of $500,000,000. It is a familiar principle of political economy that a people which owns the ground it lives upon can with difficulty be cajoled or forced to leave its homes. This principle applies to the Negro farmer of the United States and it must be taken into account in any intelligent discussion of the Negro problem. Washington Star: The Atlanta Journal, referring to the appearance recently of some colored officials and their wives at a White house reception, and to the threat attributed to several politicians of boycotting the President socially, says: "It is a sad spectacle when the representatives of nearly one third of the states of the Union have to keep away from the White house for decency's sake." It is surprising to find any influential newspaper taking suicin talk seriously. There is nothing whatever in it. Southern representatives are not keeping away from the White house. Conditions in Washington are normal. Why should they not be? What has taken place calculated to make them otherwise? Not the appearance of colored officials at the White house. That is no unfamiliar sight. Nor is the present severe condemnation of it the first note of protest to be uttered on that subject. But that note availed nothing in the past, and its repetition is not likely to avail anything now. It afforded then, as it is affording at present, only a passing sensation. Mr. McKinley is sincerely beloved by the South, and deserves remembrance. He has sincerely loved the South, and served her interests well. The people of Atlanta are preparing to erect a monument to his memory. And yet Mr. McKinley appointed far NUMBER 7. A Few Interesting Race Jots as Gleaned from Other Sources by the Man With the Shears The Boston Journal Talks Truthfully and Entertainingly About Negro Farmers. more colored men to Office than Mr. Roosevelt has done, and showed those who held office here the same official attention that his successor is doing. Mr. Cleveland was twice elected president largely through the support of the South, and chose for an important portfolio in his second cabinet a distinguished citizen and an editor of Kansas. He likewise appointed colored men to office, and they received at his hands the same official recognition that Mr. Roosevelt is bestowing upon his appointees. He gave his hand in public to Frederick Douglass after the latter to the pronounced displeasure of both races, had taken a white woman to wife. Some of the Southern politicians shook their heads and looked glum, but they did not abandon their pursuit of patronage, or fail to make themselves as agreeable as possible when they called on Mr. Cleveland for practical evidences of his distinguished consideration. No, no. The Journal has been misled. No boycott has been declared against the President by the Southern men, and none will be. The sputter of a few excitable individuals is not to be accepted as the pronouncement of a whole section. It proceeds from those who either have failed to secure attention, on any public issue, or are playing for re-election on a popular prejudice for home consumption, or else know no better. The Southern men of influence to whom the South looks for service here continue to receive invitations to the White house, and continue, of course to accept them. Hon. Chas. Spencer, the present city attorney announces himself for re-election, subject to the Republican primaries. He is now serving his first term, and as the party always accords a second term, we should not desert him. Mr. Spencer is now in the heat of battle, championing the rights of the people against the waterworks and gas companies. He understands the case, and to change him would be suicide to the city. We need a colored man on the school board. W. W. Fisher has announced himself as a candidate for the place, and all the people in the Fifth ward should rally to his support. He will make a first-class representative. Tax-payers, vote for him, mothers vote for him and by so doing you will make no mistake. Hon. H. A. Willis, the drugged at 302 E. Fourth street, announced himself as a candidate for a treasurer subject to the Republican primaries. He has been a resident of the Second ward for several years. He served sixteen years in the army, four of which was active service in the civil war, going in as a private and coming out a lieutenant. He was born in Thomaston, Maine, was postmaster there under Grand Hayes and one year under Green Cleveland. Served ten months Andersonville prison, suffering cruel thing but death for the cause liberty. Mr. Willis is also present in the councils of Irwin Lodge No. 290, A. O. U. W. He must be a winner and expects to earn all votes before the final day. . ” .
