THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. That Tried and True Representative of the People, J. Ralph Burton, Can Be United States Senator as Long as He Continues to Skin Old Ben Tillman! BURTON VS. TILLMAN VOLUME V. Brilliant Kansan Silences the One-eyed Monstrosity's Battery Kansan Asked Him to Specify Remedy for Negro Question He Was Silent and Failed to Answer. A special to the Topeka Capital dated July 27, says: A magnificent audience of nearly 10,000 people greeted Senator Burton of Kansas and Senator Tillman of South Carolina in their first joint debate on the Negro question, at the Mona Lake assembly this afternoon. Very close attention was accorded the speakers throughout; showing the great interest taken in the question. Senator Tillman opened with an eccentric and somewhat scattering speech, but at times witty. He said the Fifteenth amendment must be repealed. He was generally well received by the audience, but at one time was roundly hissed, when, in reply to Senator Burton's statement that the black man was the only one who could look the white man in the face and live, Tillman said: "Yes, but if he ever looks him in the face in the South and aspires to govern him or be his social equal he will be met with the shotgun and the bayonet." BURTON'S CAREFUL ARGUMENTS. Senator Burton followed Tillman with a carefully prepared argument centering around the one point of equality before the law, his contention being that the Southern states or any state might make a high standard for voting, either a property or education, but when the standard was once made it should apply with equal exact certainty to both races. Both the law and its administration should stand for this. Otherwise it would destroy our system of government, which is built on equality before the law. Senator Burton shows the trained lawyer in marshalling his facts in an eloquent way to support his proposition, and the consensus of opinion was that he had the best of the debate. Senator Burton demanded a specific remedy of Tillman for the Negro problem or show why any discrimination should be made against the illiterate Negro and not the illiterate white. To this Tillman made no reply. Senator Burton spoke in part as follows; "Nearly forty years ago, in the midst of a terrible war, the Negro was emancipated from serfdom, and later by constitutional enactment he was guaranteed his civil rights: Equality before the law. Still later several of the states of the South attempted to invalidate, or, at least, nullify the federal provisions guaranteeing to the Negro his civil rights, and since that time there is a denial, in several states of the South, of the Negro to stand equally with his white brother in the enjoyment of the elective franchise. So that the real question that we are to debate to day is: 'Shall the Negro be Denied Equality Before the Law?' Everything that may be said upon the Negro question circles around this proposition. This is the contention, this the issue. "I do not believe there will be any trouble between Senator Tillman and myself in agreeing that I state the issue fairly, but to be more elaborate and precise I give the statement of the case in the language of Booker T. Washington and Senator Tillman's answer thereto. Said the distinguished Negro: AS WASHINGTON SEES IT. "I cannot believe, I will not believe, that the country which invites into its midst every type of European, from the highest to the very dregs of the earth, and gives these comers shelter, protection and the highest encouragement, will refuse to accord the same protection and encouragement to her black citizens. The Negro seeks no special privileges. All that he asks is opportunity—that the same law that is made by the white man and applied to the one race be applied with equal certainty and exactness to the other. "Commenting upon this statement, in a speech delivered on the 25th of last February, Senator Tullman said; "Here we have the apostle of technical and indu.trial education, a man who has warned his people against the folly of political office, showing in spite of his wisdom that he has the same dream.' "I could give many other statement,smade by the Senator showing that he believes that as the white man is superior to the Negro, in intellect and morals, he should be superior before the law. Against his position I contend for the reason that I believe it is unjust' and, therefore, unsaid and injurious both to the Negro and the white man. "I stand for equality before the law' for all men, they who were born here, they who have voluntarily come and they who against their will have been brought to this country. * * * "I take this position not from sentiment, but because I believe it to be wise and just, and the best for both races. THE QUESTION OF DEPORTATION. "Againi, I do not think it worth while to discuss seriously the deportation of the Negro. He was brought here against his will, it is true; but he has lived here nearly three hundred years. He does not want to go away, nor do I believe that there is any considerable number of white men in the country who want him to go. Besides, the question is wholly impracticable, there is no place for him to go to. He is a part of this country, and he will remain here through all time. Nobody, either South or North, would again stand for the degredation of slavery. The South today, if it were left to its own free will, would no more tolerate slavery than the North. So the Negro is to live amongst us not only, but he is to continue to have his freedom. "So we revert to the vital question at issue, "What shall be the status of the Negro?" Shall the laws made and applied to the one race, be applied with equal certainty and exactness to the other? Equality before the law is the foundation of our political fabric Destroy that foundation and the fabric must fall to the ground. Both the law and its administration must rest on equality; for even if the law in terms treats all alike, and its administration discriminates in favor of any one or a class, it is a violation of this fundamental principle of our government. "My distinguished opponent although speaking more particularly of the equality of the states, expressed this vital principle in the speech to which I have referred, wherein he said;" "The essence of good government is equality, that it shall touch all alike. When the law making, or, rather, the law-executing, power endeavors to establish a rule which differentiates as between states and sections, which creates flesh of the one and fowl of the other, you at once leave the safe path." HOW ABOUT ENFRANCHISEMENT. "Apply the foregoing principle to individuals and you have the Senator contradicting himself. "If I understand the Senator aright he believes the Negro should have no part in our government; that the Fifteenth amendment to the Constitution was wrong and should be annulled; that the Negao is incapable of intelligently exercising the duty of suffrage; that it was a mistake giving it to, and that it should be taken from him, and that whereas the Negro in slavery grew and developed, physically, intellectually and morally, in freedom he has deteriorated. "On my part, I believe that we did right in giving him his civil rights. I think we did right to place the ballot in his hands at the time we did. I believe there was no other course left open to us. * * * "II South Carolina is threatened with 'Negro domination,' as it is called, and a large proportion of the Negroes are incapable of self-government, not able to exercise intelligently the franchise, that state can pass a law making a property or ed- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JULY 31, 1903. THE SAINT LOUIS WORLD'S FAIR. THE ADMINISTRATION BUILDING. ucationial qualification, or both, or place any other restriction about the franchise for its protection and purity. But when the law is thus made, it must apply with equal exactness to all citizens, white or black. This is all that is asked for, as I understand it, and this much must, and, in my opinion, will be granted, throughout the entire country. Its provisions for a time may be thwarted, the constitutional guarantee may for a time be withheld or temporarily suspended; but the eternal truth and right involved in the principle of equality will assert itself, not alone in the North, but throughout the entire South as well. It will not come by force, nor interference from federal authority; it will come voluntarily from the people of the South. It will come from the South producing more Booker Washington among the black race, and more Henry W. Gradys from the white race. INJUSTICE OF DISCRIMINATION. In speaking for himself and his state as well, respecting their purpose to disfranchise the Negro, and to set aside this fundamental principle of our government, of equality before the law, Senator Tillman, in the speech to which I have referred, after portraying the circumstances under which the constitutional convention was called, said: "I approached it with all the solemnity of a man resolved by every possible scheme that we could devise to take the ballot from every Negro alive, if we had been allowed. But we could not do it, because the Fifteenth amendment barred the way. . . . Therefore, we had the simple and only alternative, to provide for an educational qualification with an elastic provision, which enabled the illiterate whites to be registered, because we were unwilling to take the ballot from those of our own people some of them the best men we have, who had lost the opportunity to get an education in their youth because they were fighting." This states, in blunt and candid form, the purpose of the provision in several of the Southern states to go as far as possible towards disfranchising the Negro; and also to discriminate against him. Giving to the poverty-stricken and ignorant white man the right to vote, but denying the same right to the ignorant and poor black man. "It is strange that a people who constantly boast of their superiority should want any advantage over a race which they say is so far inferior, a people who have already suffered the wrongs and degredation of slavery. But I want to call particular attention to that part of the Senator's speech in which he said that they were unwilling to take the ballot from the illiterate white men, who had lost the opportunity to get an education while fighting. What was the black man doing during this time? Let the Senator answer: "During those four years (says the Senator) there is not of record a solitary case where a Negro man wronged a white woman." "Remember, the Senator has also said: "The Negroes knew the war was to settle the question of their future liberty, or continued slavery." "What was the poor black doing? Let Henry W. Grady answer." "Of times during the war five hundred Negroes to a single white man, and yet through these dusky throngs the women and children walked in safety and the unprotected houses rested in peace."

Should Preach Bravery to the Negro Instead of Cowardice—Must Stand up for His Rights. We pledge ourselves as a congress to all in our power from pulpit, rostrum and platform to aid the authorities in suppressing lawlessness by influencing all our people to strive for higher ground. With love for our common country this appeal is made to the people of these United States. J. C. C. OWENS, GEO. A. GRIFFITH, J. R. RANSOM, M. S. BRYANT, J. W. SEXTON, W. T. VERNON, Com. C. T. SHAFFER, Presiding Bishop. J. H. WILSON, Secretary. The resolutions passed by the Ministerial Council of the A. M. E. church at Leavenworth last week was good reading until the last paragraph which appeared under the caption of "Our Aim" and is given HON. WILLIAM H. DUNCAN, Secretary of the W. N. P. A., Who Will Entertain the Editors in Colorado springs August 4, 5 and 6. above, and is the one that broke the camels back. How much higher do they expect us to get in order to keep the prejudiced Negro hating white man from his eternal abuse. We think we have gone far enough, and say that we should go no farther. If we protect ourselves with guns and ammunition, and that is lawlessness, then our grounds will not be high if what they say is true. This paragraph reads like some one was trembling to fear of the Leavenworth murderers, who burned an innocent Negro at the stake calling upon some of the resoluters. We note that no mention is made of this horrible crime, which was an outrageous offense, and along with those who sanction it, should have been denounced in no unmeasured terms. Ministers should be brave T LOUIS WOR itectural effect of the structure. It consists of a massive tower 77 feet high, topped by four octagon towers, one at each corner. The doorway in this tower is a magnificent arch. The facade of the tower is elaborately ornamented with canopiad niches and with strong course on which appears the baroque shield on which appear the heraldic shield, ADMINISTRATION BUILDING bearing the Universits Coat of Arms. In front of the entrance is a terrace 50 by 264 feet and leading up to the terrace are steps of cut granite, 35 feet wide. The building is constructed of pink Missouri granite with Belford, men, not cowards and paliators of circumstances to curry favor with popularity. The above statement is very weak and the entire body who endorsed it is in need of some good allopathic doctor who can administer something to overturn the contents of the cowardly inner man that seems to digest and live in the average Negro. The trouble with us today is our ministers are too weak. They preach and roar like lions on biblical and heavenly matters, but are meek as a lamb on earthly things. Teach the people that good people do not resort to lawlessness to vindicate right, and when that class is repulsed by good, law-abiding people—that is the Christians fighting the devil. If lawlessness is to be routed out, let the Christians do it with the sword and prayer. Here is the proper clause they should have written: "Our Aim—We pledge ourselves from now on from pulpit and home, that we will strive to influence our people to meet the lawless element of this country who oppose them at every turn of the road with the same method and manner, and teach our people that the highest ground an American citizen should stand upon is manhood, courage and honor, and strive to stay if it cost his life. Just think of it, suppress the lawlessness of the white man by preaching to the Negro to be quiet, and if the white man knocks you down, tell him to wait, you will arise again to let him see you fall the second time without resistance. The Negro is still preaching the old text, "Servants obey your master, he owns you, and it's right." The colored ministers have preached cowardice long enough to the race, and it's time to change and teach bravery, good judgment and courage. Quit writing these jumping Jack resolutions—saying something and taking it back in the same breath. Look higher! fight for liberty, talk it, preach it sing it and resolute for it! NICK CHILES. A NEW PSALM. "The politician is my shepherd; I shall not want any good thing during the campaign. He leadeth me into the saloon for my vote's sake; he filleth my pocket with good cigars; my glass of beer runneth over. He prepareth my ballot for me in the presence of my better judgment. Yea, though I walk through the mud and the rain to vote for him and for higher taxes, and shout myself hoarse when he is elected, straightway he forgetteth me: lo! when I meet him in his own office he knoweth me nor.

CULTURED WOMANHOOD It should be the highest ambition of every young woman to possess a true womanhood. Earth presents no higher object of attainment. To be a woman is the truest and best thing beneath the skies. A true woman exists independent of outward adornments. It is not wealth, beauty, dressing, color or long hair of woman, or connection, or station, or power of mind, or literary attainments that make the woman. These often adorn womanhood, as the ivy adorns the oak, but women should never be mistaken for the thing they adorn. The great error of womankind is that they take the shadow for the substance. the glitter for the gold, the her-al-dry and trappings of the world for the priceless essence of womanly worth which exists within the mind. Every young man, as a general rule, has some purpose laid down for the grand object of his life; some plan for the accomplishment of which all his other actions are made to serve as auxiliaries. It is to be regretted that every young woman does not also have a set purpose of life, some grand aim, grand in its character. She should, in the first place, know what she is, what power she possesses, what influences are to go out from her, what position in life she was designed to fill, what duties are resting upon her, what she is capable of being, what fields of profit and pleasure are open to her. how much joy and pleasure she may find in a true life of womanly activity. When she has duly considered these things, she should then form a high purpose of being a true woman and make every circumstance bend to her will, for the accomplishment of this noble purpose. There can be no higher aim to set before herself. There is no nobler attainment this side of spirit land than lofty womanhood. There is no ambition more pure than that which craves this crown for her mortal brow, to be a genuine woman full of womanly instincts and power. A true woman has a power, something peculiarly her own, in her moral influence, which, when duly developed, makes her queen over a wide realm of spirit. But this she can possess only as her powers are cultivated. It is cultivated woman that wield the scepter of authority among men. Whereever cultivated women dwell, there is refinement, intellect, moral power To be a cultivated woman she must commence early and make this the grand aim of her life. Whether she work or play, travel or remain at home, converse with friends on study books, gaze at flowers or toil in the kitchen, visit the pleasure party or the sanctuary of God, she keeps this object before her mind and taxes all her powers for its attainment. Every young and old woman should also determine to do something for the honor and elevation of her sex. Her powers of mind and body should be applied to a good end. Let her resolve to help with the weight of her encouragement and counsels her sisters who are striving to be useful. Do not lie upon them because they are a few rounds higher up the ladder than you are, and try to bring them down with you. You, as other women, can be just what you make of yourself. It is no one's fault when a woman is not a woman. An uncultivated woman will try all means in her power to blockade the path of progress to those of her sex who are striving to go forward. Every virtue in woman has its influence on the world. A brother husband, friend or son is NUMBER 30. Mrs. Cynthia Kirby Makes a Strong and Eloquent Appeal for Cultured Womanhood.

The world would go to ruin without her. With all of our ministers and churches and Bibles and sermons, man would be a prodigal without woman. All noble women were first noble girls, and to be a good and true woman you must cultivate the good spirit when a girl May God bless our young girls and help them to make noble and truthful women. CYNTHIA KIRBY, Coffeyville, Kas. They've Struck It! A special from W.H. Gleaves. of Henrietta, Indian Territory, to THE PLAINDEALER, brings the glad news of a big coal strike in the shaft recently started by the Topeka and Indian Territory Land, Coal and Development Company. Among other things he says: "Tell Taylor, Lytte and Childers, that they now have something to smile for. To day (Tuesday) we struck a vein of coal 3 feet 8 inches, at a depth of 26 feet. The white people around Henrietta are all worked up and say that we have one of the best shafts in the Territory and don't see how we got it. Mr. Patterson, one of the big mine owners down here, could not speak for a few minutes after he saw it, and when he did, said it was one of the most valuable mines in the country. His company is located in Kansas City, and the agent said to me as I boarded the train: 'The Negro company has been successful, and has secured some of the best mining property to be had in this country.' Have shipped samples of coal, which will arrive in Topeka within the next day or so. Come down at once, or send some one, so we can arrange for taking out the coal." We are happy, and each day the glad tidings from the Territory causes a feeling of gladness to creep over us that we have never felt before. We have a just cause for it. The company is successful and on a high road to that which the black man needs most—money. While the toud-mouthed Negro who has never made a success of his personal affairs, is howling that a Negro can't conduct business without the aid of a white man, this company has turned a deaf ear, and is proving him to be a liar, by conducting business successfully. The stock still remains on the market, and as stated heretofore, no one is urged to buy. If a person feels like taking a share, we have said enough in the past for him to know where we are located and what is required to become a stockholder. One fact we wish to impress upon the minds of those contemplating buying stock: It had best be done as soon as possible, as the next meeting of the board of directors, which will be in a very short while, will in all probability call the sale of stock off. Mr. Hoard will leave the latter part of the week for Hennetta, when the necessary arrangements will be completed, for the taking out of the coal. "It is strange that a people who constantly boast of their superiority should want any advantage over a race which they say is so far inferior, a people who have already suffered the wrongs and degradation of slavery. But I want to call particular attention to that part of the Senator's speech in which he said that they were unwilling to take the ballot from the illiterate white men, who had lost the opportunity to get an education in their youth because, they were fighting. What was the black man doing during this time? Let the Senator answer: "During these four years(says the Senator)there is not of record a solitary case where a Negro man wronged a white woman." Remember, the Senator has also said: "The Negroes knew the war was to settle the question of their future liberty, or continued slavery." What was the poor black man doing? Let Henry W. Grady answer: "Oftimes during the war five hundred Negroes to a single white man, and yet through these dusky throngs the women and children walked in safety and the unprotected houses rested in peace." Talks for the Negro. Kansas since the palmy days of the late Senator John J. Ingalls, has not had the equal in oratory of its present senior Senator J. R. Burton. Just now Senator Burton is "the observed of all observers." His discussion of the much talked about race problem with the South Carolinean Cyclop is attracting more than ordinary attention to him. As its to be expected Senator Burton presents the case in its strongest light. There is this to be noticed in the presentation of his case, Senator Burton, makes no special plea for the Negro, and for this we are grateful. The Negro is a strong, active element in American life, and the race does not ask, or expect, special privileges. Every day the masses are growing more capable of competing in the strenuous life of the nation. As has been truly said "The Negro is the only member of the human family who can look the white man in the face and live." With this knowledge, and the remarkable achievements of the past forty years, of a people, who have not only increased in number while staring the proud Saxon in the eye, but has increased his wealth, his knowledge and is now awakening to the importance of industrial training in order to intelligently grasp the practical affairs of everyday life it passes understanding, that people so generous and appreciative of merit should allow themselves to be influenced by such political shysters as Tilman and Dixon. Senator Burton says that all he pleads for is equality before the last. This is all the Business Opportunities.

On this date the St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad Company assumes charge of the line formerly known as the Ozark & Cherokee Central Railway, extending westwardly from Fayetteville, Ark., to Okmulgee, I. T., a distance of 143.9 miles. As will be noted by reference to the map, this line forms a connecting link between our Central Division and the Red River District. Aside, however, from the convenience of this connection, the road penetrates a section offering excellent opportunities to those in search of a new location, either from a commercial or farming standpoint. Fayetteville, its starting point, is located in one of the best portions of the Ozark fruit belt, and the line will open, to the west of that place, a country whose ability to produce apples, peaches and other fruits has already been demonstrated, and whose prosperity and rapid development is, since the establishment of railway communications, assured. Passing through the "Land of the Big Red Apple," the line enters the Indian Territory, near Westville, crossing the Cherokee Nation, and traversing the Creek Nation, a country that has lately attracted attention all over the United States by reason of Congressional legislation permitting the acquirement therein, by outsiders, of Indian allotments. The Creek Nation is known to possess as great (if not greater) proportion of available land to square mile as any other of the Indian reservations that have been opened to white settlement. The character of its soil and climate is almost identical with that of Oklahoma. Wheat, corn and cotton grow side by side, and all yield crops calculated to astonish, by their abundance and excellence, farmers from the older states. A number of the towns shown in the appended list are of recent birth, and all are in a condition of rapid and substantial development.

The young men came later in the evening and brought refreshments and a feast that would satisfy the most ravenous appetite was spread. The happy youngsters highly enjoyed themselves, and at a late hour returned to their several homes, some to anxiously await the announcement of another of these outings and others to lament over their inability to find storage room to cope with their enormous appetite.

The funeral of Sister Nancy Blythe was held last Saturday at 3 p.m. from her late residence on Clay street She was born Oct. 31 1829 and would have been seventy-four years old her next birthday. Her birth place was in Virginia but very early she lived in Columbia, Mo. where one of her daughters now live. In Sept. 12, 1872 she moved to Topeka where she reared a large family. On July 16th just three days after her return from a visit to her daughter in Missouri, she fell down the stairs and sustained injuries from which she could not recover and after a week's illness she passed into the Eternal City of peace. The funeral was conducted by her pastor Dr. Snelson. Text "Come ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world." His words were beautiful. Pall bearers were Jack Pace, Toliver Byrd, Frank Thomas, Ed Wright. For several years the deceased was a member of St John A. M. E. Church and passed away with triumphant faith. She leaves one son, five daughters, one brother, one sister and thirteen grand children and a great concourse of lifelong friends to mourn her loss. God bless her sacred memory.
