THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALEK VOLUME V. COMMENDED BY ROOSEVELT Gov. Durbin's Anti-Lynching Idea is Good. GIVE EVERY MAN A TRIAL Many Innocent Men are Lynched, Say the Chief Executive in a Letter to Indiana's Governor--Lynching Hurts Any Community. In a letter, the publication of which has been authorized, President Roosevelt commends Governor Durbin of Indiana, for the attitude he recently assumed, respecting the lynching. The President also embraces the opportunity to express his own views in reference to lynching and mob violence generally, saying mob violence is one form of anarchy and that anarchy is a forerunner of tyranny. He vigorously urges that the penalty for crimes that induce a resort to lynching shall be applied swiftly and surely, but by due process of the courts, so that it may be seen "that the law is adequate to deal with crime by freeing it from every vestige of technicality and delay." LYNCHING A FORM OF ANARCHY. "Oyster Bay, N. Y. Aug. 6, '03. "My Dear Governor Durbin: Permit me to thank you as an American citizen for the way in which you have vindicated the majesty of the law by your recent action in reference to lynching. The well being, indeed the very existence of the Republic depends upon that orderly liberty under the law which is as incompatible with mob violence as with any form of despotism. Of course, mob violence is simply one form of anarchy, and anarchy is now, as it always has been, the handmaiden and forerunner of tyranny. "All men must feel the gravest alarm over the growth of lynching in this country, and especially over the peculiarly hideous forms so often taken by mob violence when colored men are the victims, on which occasions the mob seems to lay the most weight, not on the crime but the color of the criminal. In a large proportion of these cases the man lynched has been guilty of a crime horrible beyond description; a crime so horrible that as far as he himself is concerned he has forfeited the right to any kind of sympathy whatever. GIVE EVERY CRIMINAL A TRIAL "The feeling of all good citizens that such a hideous crime shall not be hideously punished by mob violence is due not in the least to sympathy for the criminal, but to a very lively sense of the dreadful train of consequences which follow the course taken by the mob in exacting vengeance for an inhuman wrong. "Every effort should be made under the law to expedite the proceedings of justice in the case of such an awful crime. But it cannot be necessary in order to accomplish this, to deprive any citizen of those fundamental rights to be heard in his own defense which are so dear to us and which lie at the root of our liberty. It certainly ought to be possible by the proper administration of the laws to secure swift vengeance upon the criminal and immediate efforts of all legislators, judges and citizens should be addressed to securing such reforms in our legal procedure as to leave no vestige of excuse for those misguided men who undertake to reap vengeance through violent methods. MOSTLY INNOCENT MEN HUNG. "This matter of lynching would be a terrible thing even if it stopped with the men guilty of the inhuman and hideous crime of rape; but as a matter of fact, the lawlessness of this type never does stop in such fashion. Every violent man in the community is encouraged by every case of lynch in which the lynchers go unpunished to take the law into his own hands whenever it suits his own convenience. In the same way, the use of torture by the mob in certain cases is sure to spread until it is applied more or less indiscriminately in other cases. The spirit of lawlessness grows with what it feeds on, and when mobs with impunity lynch criminals for one cause they are certain to begin to lynch criminals, real or alleged for other causes. In the recent cases of lynching over three fourths were not for rape at all, but for murder attempted murder, and even less heinous offenses. ALL SHOULD OBEY THE LAW. ALL SHOULD OBEY THE LAW. "The nation, like the individual, cannot commit a crime with impunity. If violence, wether our guilt consists in active participation therein or in mere connection and encouragement, we shall assuredly suffer later on because of what we have done. The cornerstone of this republic, as of all free governments, is respect for, and obedience to the law. Where we permit the law to be defied or evaded, whether by rich man or poor man, by black man or white man, we are by just so much weakening the bonds of our civilization and increasing the chances of its overthrow, and the substitution thereof for a system in which there shall be violent alternations of anarchy and tyranny Sincerely yours, THEODORE ROOEVELT." COLORADO SPRINGS ROYALY ENTERTAINS! The seventh annual session of the Western Negro Press association was held in St. John's Baptist church Colorado Springs. Colo., three days, August 4th, 5th and 6th ended, was conceded to be the cannette, daughter meeting in M. Brasfield to Mr Jamesization. t 19, 1903. The convent upwards of 30 Wilson entertained last of the Trans-Missi. complimentary to egates being present Detroit, Michigan, ma, Kansas, Utah, Icago, rado and other western s. At the opening sessiogher Miss Harris was unable to be prizes. New make the address of welcomey will Hon. J. H. Jackson acted in iner, stead. The response was made by S. B Tuner, of Rosendale, Kas. The following committees were appointed: Committee on address to people—Rev. W. E. Gladden, T. S. Simpson, W. W. Taylor, Mrs. Julia E. Emery, Rev. W. E. Helm, Nick Chiles. Committee on needs of race papers in the western territory—T. S. Simpson, Miss Willa Smith. S. B. Turner. The second day's session was devoted principally to addresses on timely topics, by prominent members of the association, and the following resolutions drafted by a committee appointed for the purpose, were adopted: MEMORIALIZE THE POPE. REMEMORIZE THE POPE. Resolved, That we express our profound sorrow upon the death of Pope Leo XIII, who was a friend to common humanity, and who expressed strong sentiments against wholesale lynchings in America before his death and congratulate the Catholics upon the election of Pope Pius X as his successor, since he is a man who has risen from the common walks of life to occupy the most exalted station in the religious world. Since there are so many Catholics among the Negroes of the United States, who, in common with others of their race, are subjected to unparalled outrages upon the slightest provocation, involving the innocent as well as the guilty, we urge his holiness to use his good offices among the Catholics of this country to preserve friendly relations between the races and to break down the spirit of unfairness so prevalent in labor unions, composed in a great measure of Catholics, which in many instances deprive the Negro of the opportunity to earn an honest living for his family. In view of the fact that the Protestant church in America, excepting in a few rare individual instances, seems to be deaf to our appeals and seems inclined to remain silent if not actually acquiescent in the terrible outrages upon us, we request Senator Burton, of Kansas, to present this resolution to the representative of the Pope at Washington, for transmission to his holiness at the Vatican. The delegates were not divided over the resolution or its contents, but its adoption involved its presentation to Pope Pius, and the question arose who should present it. Nick Chiles, of Topeka desired that it be sent to the vatican by Senator Burton, of Kansas, while Joseph D. Rivers and several of his followers desired that the association should recognize Congressman Brooks and ask him to forward the resolutions. The Wolcott forces were determined that Brooks should not send the resolutions, while both Walcott and Brooks forces were opposed to giving the honor to Senator Burton, for the reason that they wanted to cut out Chiles of THE PLAINDEALER. The feeling was such that when the resolution was put to a vote it was defeated, and was only revived by W. H. Duncan, the leader of the Waleott forces, who urged that the defeat of the resolution was worse than allowing Chiles to give it to Senator Burton. On his motion the vote was reconsidered, the resolution adopted by a small margin and Chiles was given the duty of hand TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, AUG. 14, 1903. Outside of the selection of officers and the next place of meeting, the feature of the evening was the address of Rev. C. T. Walker, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist church of New York city and at the head of the Walker institute; subject; "Forty Years of Freedom; the American Negro, His Hindrances and Progress." During the evening Nick Chiles read a paper on "The Negro in Business." In this paper he gave an account of the success that had been made by members of the race in various lines of business and gave words of advice as to the best trades, businesses and professions which the Negro might successfully enter, The remainder of the evening was taken up with the reading and passing of various resolutions. Among these was a resolution indorsing the work of the Topeka Industrial Institute, know as the "Western Tuskegee." The convention submitted the following address to the American people: ADDRESS TO AMERICAN PEOPLE. ADDRESS TO AMERICAN PEOPLE. We, the Western Negro Press association, now in session at Colorado Springs, Colo., do reaffirm our belief in the wisdom, courage and ability of the American people to perpetrate the safeguards and welfare of all the people alike, as set forth in our federal constitution. We believe that equality before the law is the base of all human liberty and the fundamental law of our government, and that an equal application of the same to all without, regard to any special class is the only safe and wise course to pursue and that any other course will eventually destroy the foundation of this American republic. A CONDEMNATION. We condemn in bitter terms the degraded moral ingrate who despoils human virtue and wrecks the peace and sanctity of the home. We likewise, denounce in double measure the growing evil of mob law and implore the friends of good government to administer justice and punish these criminals according to law. We address the American people to desist from encouraging by silence or open participation in the outrages now being carried on in America by a class of lawless people who detest the very end which they try to remedy, and thereby become as equally guilty of crime as those whom they seek to punish. We do not believe in hostilities between the races or classes, but a closer union among them all. We further ask that all who are in authority see to it that no distinction be made between men. TRIBUTE TO THE PRESIDENT. TRIBUTE TO THE PRESIDENT. We admire the courage and manly stand that our President has taken to preserve the good name and high civilization that were the ideals of the fathers of the federal constitution. We commend him for his outspoken words and fearless advocacy of human rights, and hope he will take a similar stand on the outrages being perpetrated by the slavery W. E. GLADDEN, W. W. TAYLOR, NICK CABLES. The Manager's Trip. The W. N. P. A. held their eighth annual session at Colcrado Springs Aug. 4, 5 and 6. This session was of much interest to the race as well as the newspaper men. The resolution to the Pope will have the desired effect. The document will be sent to the representative of the vatican at Washington through our United States Senator, J. R. Burton. It will be prepared in the finest style, with the signature of the officers, and the names of the papers that comprise the Association. We shall let the people know the papers that are worthy of consideration and are fighting the cause of right and portraying the wrongs heaped upon a race for devilment. The session was harmonious from start to finish. The paper read by Mrs. John H. Jackson, "Mothers Influence in the Home," shows the writer to be an exceptionally deep thinker. We will reproduce it in these columns next week. President Rivers's annual address was an able document, and showed that he held the work of the race as well as the newspapers at heart. After a three days session, our efficient secretary, Hon. W. H. Duncan invited the members, visiting friends and special guests of the Springs, on behalf of the press committee, Porter Simpson and Prof. John H. Jackson, to a trolly ride on one of the best street car systems in the West. The Garden of the Gods, Colorado City, Manitou and Strathons park concluded the ride which was greatly enjoyed by all. The evening session Thursday closed the eighth session with a lecture by Dr. Walker, of New York. Our Press Bureau shall become active, and an earnest effort will be put forth to bring every worthy Negro paper into the fold to assist in keeping up the fight for honest The Negro Editors of the West Hold one of the Most Interesting Meetings in the History of the Association-The Business Manager Writes of His Junket COLORADO SPRINGS AND MANITOU. This is a beautiful city, clean and healthful. We found several Kansans in the two cities. We had the pleasure of dining with Prof. John Jackson, wife and visiting friends from Columbus, Ohio, among whom were Misses Dickey Joyce, Bertha Rooney, Kate Porter, Abbie M'Farland, Mrs. Katie Joyce; and Mrs Amy Ellis and Miss Alberta Atwood, of Baginaw; Mich. A majority of these are educators. Mr. Jackson has a beautiful home and is writing a book on the Negro Question which is of much interest. Most of our time was spent with Mr. and Mrs. Moore and mother formerly of Leavenworth, Kas, who entertained us royalty. We were the guests of Capt. Albert Ross at 6 o'clock dinner at the home of his parents, and among the invited guests were Porf. Carter and Miss Willa Smith. Capt. Ross is succeeding nicely towards raising the money for fifty girl students to attend the Industrial school. From a successful concert last Wednesday evening, fifty dollars was cleared. We were highly entertained by Mrs. Julia Emery, who is a real newspaper woman and can write for her sex. IN DENVER. We were the guests of our president, Hon. Jos. D. D. Rivers, editor of the Colorado Statesman, who occupies a beautiful home on Eleventh avenue. We arrived in the metropolis of the Rockies Friday morning and dined with our old Lawrence friends, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Miller, who are succeeding nicely. Mr. Samuel Jeans and daughter, of Lawrence, are spending the summer with them. Mr. Jeans seems to be recuperating fast, and speaks of returning soon. We met Mr. and Mrs. Fred Ratley and mother, who have purchased a fine brick residence and doing well, and we also met Mrs. Edmondson, the widow of the late William Wilson, who are enjoying their honeymoon. Our lawyer, J. H. Stewart is prosperous and making money, as is also our old friends, Austin Sharp and Paul Caldwell, and are thinking of investing their money in business. We met the Hon. John M. Williams, custodian of the court house. He is an old-timer and a real Yankee, and a more courteous gentleman can't be found. When in Denver, ask for him. We visited the office of the Denver Statesman and found the editor, Mr. Franklin, a very genial young fellow, who cordially invited us to spend some of our spare moments with him. He has a neat office and appears to be making money. We invited him to join our Press Association, which he assured us he would on terms to suit himself on which we will be glad to go half way. The Colorado Statesman, owned and controlled by Hon. Jos. D. D. Rivers and edited and managed by his estimable wife, is the mouth piece of the Negroes of the Rocky Mountains. We made their cozy office our headquarters, and always found the office force busy turning out work. The owners stand high socially and politically. Mr. Rivers is the trusted lieutenant in the Republican ranks of that state and city and holds a lucrative position in the city of Denver. Saturday morning we were invited to be the guest of Mr. Rivers on a trip to Leadville, and in company with his wife and Miss Ethel Stafford, one of the most cultured young teachers of Kansas City, Kas., and who has been spending the summer with Mrs. R., we departed for Leadville. At 8 o'clock we were speeding along on an observation car of the D. & R. G., railroad in charge of Mr. Hamilton, who has been in the employee of the company for years. This car is for those who desire to pay extra to obtain a clear view of the beautiful scenery. The car was crowded with New Yorkers en route to the coast, and Mr. Hamilton handled the people in his charge as well as the conductor and we can see no reason why a man like him should be held back because he is colored. The Rio Grande is the road for sight-seers, and the ride through the Royal Gorge is enough to repay one ten fold, and the observation car is the best. Mountains of rock towering away beyond the clouds, hanging as if by a slender thread almost ready to loose its hold, yet a train of fourteen cars and two engines speed around the many curves as though no impending danger would ever eome. The ride is worth years of study. IN LEADVILLE. We arrived at 9 p.m., and were met at the depot by Mr. and Mrs. Morgan Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. R. B. Anderson and the widow Robinson. After the proper salutation of the ladies and mild introduction of the gentlemen, we were escorted to the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Robinson on West Ninth street, where we partook of a delicious supper. We remained in the mining city of Colorado over Sunday, and in making the rounds, found our old friend and former townsman, Lieutenant Thomas McAdoo, of the famous Twenty-third Kansas. He is getting along fine, holding a good paying position, and is well liked by the citizens. He entertained us royally as all know that's Mc's way of doing things—especially when a friend appears upon the scene. He will visit Topeka shortly. Mr. Morgan Robinson holds a responsible position in the leading bank of the town. He is a Leavenworth boy, and his wife enjoys the distinction of being the first woman delegate from that portion of the state to a political convention. She is a Creole by birth, well versed in political economy—courageous and stands for clean politics. Mrs. Robinson defends the rights of all and is quick to resent a distinction on color. She believes in fostering good and wholsome thoughts for the uplift of humanity. We wish there were thousands like her in all parts of this country and the race would be greatly benefitted by their presence, and suffer less outrages. Our trip to Leadville was one of pleasure and profit and was highly enjoyed. We departed Sunday evening for Denver and arrived Monday at 8 a.m. The trip was highly enjoyed by all. The sightseeing effected the eyes of some and as none had goggles to protect the eyes from the gravel and missels, we just cried it out and saw the sights nevertheless. Monday evening found us on our way to the land of the Sunflowers. The Royal Gorge, Garden of the Gods and the snow capped peaks of the Rockies are all amusing to the eye, but nothing holds a greater charm for us than the fields of golden grain and the hundreds of head of cattle that roam the thousand hills of our own Sunny Kansas.

Is Arranging for the Shipment of Coal. MORE STOCK MUST BE SOLD The Tepeka and Indian Territory Coal Company Have Splendid Mind Stays Kev., Heard—Coal Will Soon Be Slipped to Tepeka. Henrietta, I. T., Aug. 9, '03. EDITOR PLAINDEALER:—I arrived here Saturday morning and found our work in a somewhat confused state, so it will be necessary for me to remain some time to get things in motion. If you can arrange to send me $100 or more I will be able in 6 or 8 days to begin shipping coal. I could use $300 to good advantage if I had it. We must build a shanty to keep our stuff in, track for the slope, boxes, and procure a mule. I shall have the coal hauled on wagons for the present. We are all right now. My work through the Pittsburg district was a success. I sold about 50 shares and collected $19 which I paid out yesterday to save the company's credit. You can expect $35 or $40 from the Pittsburg district, about the middle of this week as this is pay week, but you need not wait on that if you send what you can. I advise a special meeting of the directors and borrow the money if it don't come from the assessments by the middle of this week. I have not seen Mr. Patterson: the superintendent of the Central, but Gleaves says they are anxious for coal. By the 15th I will be able to start about 12 miners so, M. President, do every thing you can in the financial line and in 60 days I bet you can get your breath easy. Following a list of persons who bought shares. Rev. J. T. Crafford, John Boyd, W.J. Banks, J.H. Bringham, John Watson, Weir City; C.P. Hamilton, J. L. White, Allen Young, John Jones, L. J. McWhorter, of Yale; Henry Hunter, Miden, Mo., John Harris, Nelson, Kas. All those who have not paid say they will send in this week. If you have space in your next issue of the PLAINDEALEK it might be as well to publish this list and have receipt sent out. I have instructed these subscribers to send in clubs from each town so we could send all receipts back to one address, so you had better wait until you hear from each place before sending receipt for those paid me which you will find enclosed and marked paid on this sheet. I also bought a machine in Weir City for the company. Freed Negro Masons. "I guess you never heard of how Jefferson Davis freed a lot of Negroes long before the thought of freeing the blacks in this country was anything more than a chimerical dream in the minds of some New England Puritans, did you?" inquired Major L. H. Carson, of Nashville, Tenn., of a St. Louis reporter. "It may be a fairy tale, or it may not, but at any rate it will bear repeating. as I received the story direct from my grand father, who claimed to know all the circumstances. It ran about this way: While a young man and shortly after moving from his native home in Ky., to his plantation in Mississippi, Jeff Davis bought over a cargo of blacks just brought over from Africa, by a slave trader, who ran the blockade and landed them in New Orleans. While they were working in the cotton field one day, Mr. Davis observed his new Negroes make Masonic signs of distress to the overseer. That individual not being a Mason thought the Negroes were carrying on a system of signals preparatory to revolt, and was about to have them whipped. Mr. Davis stopped this proceeding; he tested the Negroes thoroughly and to his amazement discovered that they were third degree Masons though brought from the very heart of Africa. Being a Mason himself, you can understand that he lost no time in giving them their freedom and the choice of either returning to Africa or remaining on his estate until he could provide for them in some way. Most of them shipped back to Africa at Davis' expense, though some remained with him until the end."—New York World.

We are ata loss to know why these grafters contin- ue to harass the Creek citizens for their property. This country ought to be held in reserve for the colored people. Stand up, Mr. Hitchcock, don't let the natives be robbed. All we want is a fairand a break even chance. Hold to your land, native, hold. Alright. Uncle Tom McNeal, Tue PLAINDEALER is for you.

While some are organizin; leagues and councils, we are or- ganizing business concerns. Sc much talk counts but little in the race for life if no activity is put forth. Our Coal Company is moving fast. At a meeting of the Board of Directors it was de- cided to sell four huridred shares and stop. Senator J. R. Burton was a! the Copeland one day this weel looking and feeling fine. Hi: public skinning of the one-eyed monstrocity seems to have im- proved his looks. J. R. Burtor as United States Senator is the right man to represent this great State and all the rings and cliques on earth can’t down him. It's the right of every Ameri- cancitizen to criticise the act: ef public men, but when a mar so far forgets himself as to rush into a meeting, fire questions a! the speaker, hiss and otherwise disturb him, as William munroe Trotter of the Boston Guardiar dik Booker T. Washington ix Boston a few weeks ago, we think he has simply made o himself what Christ rode inte Jerusalem. The Second district politicians are still trying to nominate a Congiessman. Some of them claim that the fight will be be- tween Bowersock and Allen, but late developments show thal Hon. E. H. Funston holds a strong hand aud may land thi: plum. Weare in receipt of a letter from Rev. R. B. Williams, the tailor, who a short time ago kill- ed a young white man at Larned, which willl be published. Rev. Williams explains the details of the killing which was as we said acase ofa young white plug- ugly thinking he was in wMissis- sippi and would just bluff the Negro. Another Negro celebration is on top for Aug. 22. When will the Negro learn? Walter Evans, an attache of the state superintendent's office wishes to be custodian of the State House. He has been in Superintendent Dayhoff’s office since the present administration first went into power and is still liked by every one in the build- ing: As the Negroes were not given a place on the barbercom- mission, it looks to aman up s tree, as though a colored man should be made custodian of the State House. To the Public! We fave secured the services ; Mr. W. H. Jackson, who in the future will act as collector and traveling circulator for the PLainpEALer. He is a bright young man, full of life and ambi- tion, and comes to us highly re- commended by some of the best people in the state, and the ser- vices he has already rendered us has proven that they were cor- rect. Mr. Jacksonis a gentleman in every sense the term implies —honest, honorable and a good business man. He will depart today (Friday) for Southern Kan- sas, and the Indian Territory, where a branch office will be opened. He will go over the territory made by C. Arthur Jeltz, a dishonest young dude, that fleeced the people and alsc this paper a short time ago, and was since discharged from our service. We will be thankful fur any courtesies shown Mr. Jackson, who will deal fairly and honora- bly with everybody, and if you transact any business with him you will be given proper credit, and receive what you pay for. Parties who have been fleeced by Jeltz will please show receipts to Mr. Jackson, who will give prop- er credit and see that the paper is sent.

THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Per year The Education Builaing of the Louisiana Purchase Exposition is of the Corinthian order of architecture. It is situated to the left of the main lagoon, and this and the Electricity Building are the only two buildings facing the Grand Basin with the cascades and approaches to the ter- Taces crowsiing the hill on which the Art Building stands.
