THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Apart from petty personal attack, entirely irrelevant to the subject in point, these journals asked whether social equality with the Negro was desirable, and intermarriage possible. This sex question appeared peculiarly imperious and irritating—a question which had never crossed my imaginings. To the writer it seems as revolting that white men should have Negro mistresses as that white women should have Negro husbands. Yet if, indeed, race prejudice exists to the extent that we are told it does, how is it that the commingling of the races—which we are forced to observe—has been so general? Why has it not been more abhorrent? Is the hypothesis mere hypocrisy—cant, pure and simple? Arabid Senator has lately announced that the Negro, being absolutely devoid of moral fiber, must be denied education. He accuses him of bestial traits, but will not permit him such spiritual and educational advantages as might benefit his character and raise and restrain his brutal tendencies. Could one reach a darker nadir of unintelligence? When one hears such tirades, one realizes that selfish personal advancement does not depend on the possession of the reasoning faculties. Moral v. the Negro prior to education may be considered as about on a par with a type of bohemian Paris and intellectual London. The decadents may be less robust in crime, but they are more deeply corrupt. Nobody can be quite so wicked as a certain brand of bohemian Frenchman and intellectual Englishman. From his debasement the Negro has got to evolve, just as other races have evolved. What he requires is what all other races have required—time. This is the day and hour of little nations. The trumpet of the downtrodden has sounded. The unknown and unheard are making themselves felt. Upheaval is in the wind. There are murterings and stirrings—a low roar of mighty forces, resistless, pushing for light. These people want air, life, and, what is more precious, life's liberties. He who refuses to heed the warning is doomed to ultimate confusion. The born of life may be doubtful, that of liberty is positive. The love of life is tempermental, the mere matter of a high or low vitality, but the desire of liberty is universal. Liberty means opportunity. This race will have to work out a new and more valuable emancipation. The broad enlightened element among Southern men is willing and anxious that it should—has already accorded the help of generous words and practical aid. No assistance will be forth- In their own ranks, with such a general as Booker T. Washington—of whom an exquisite woman once said that he had the soul of a Christian, the heart of a gentlemen and the eyes of the jungle—they have their chance. With such men as T. Thomas Fortune, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Charles W. Chestnut, Prof. Burghardt Dubois, Bishop Walters, John W. Thompson, and many other worthy and experienced teachers and clergymen, to guide them—we do not forget that a late class orator at Harvard was a Negro—they are certain to solve their own problem. These things take much time—generations will be required. The Negro has aptitudes—special gifts. He is frequently deft and clever with his fingers. He has imagination, humor, a natural eloquence. He has poetic and musical gifts, and he has manners—manners which are extinct to day, unless in Italy and China. We have seen black headwaiters who had "be grand air"—did not shamble, like some politicians. They held themselves like masters of ceremony at courts—a respectable calling much missed at our official entertainments. The Negro has a certain tact and finesse, useful qualities for conduct. He must tap these springs; give up "going on excursion," which his commander-in-chief tells as is his principal stumbling-block; stick to his duties. He may accept a passing hand, but should scorn a permanent crutch. He must cease to toddle; he must step out, learn to walk unsupported and alone; not with brag, brawl and mutiny, but in silence, with discretion and calmness. Especially must he seek industrial and economic advancement. There will be dis-couragement, but the end is certain. With material prosperity the rest will come—as it has come to other peoples. Let him get rich! Already we hear of an interesting movement. A hundred thousand colored folk have formed a company to organize a march northward. Land will be secured, fabrics started, department stores and hotels opened. We bill these pioneers God-speed. They, or their descendants, will rise, succeed, have a voice in public affairs, as all must who pay taxes—for this should remain the test for the franchise, not erudition. Their future is as assured as is the advance of democracy, stupidly called imperialism. Democracy may offend the taste of the idle and the pleasure seeker. Experience teaches us that taste is unimportant—a mere luxury. Their future is as assured as that Canada will one day weary of British contempt and declare her independence; as sure as that the passing bells of monarchy are sounding; as sure as the "open door;" as sure as that women will have the suffrage. (Is it not odd that men have always accepted female sovereigns and repudiated female voters?) These changes are but a matter of a few decades. He who will not be blind may see the writing on the wall. And as to the future of the colored race—what is needed is patience and forbearance, a truce to hatreds, and great tenderness for the oppressed, undeveloped ones who are struggling upward, ex tenebris, in a tearful world. Pen and Pencil Club. Washington, March 31, 1904. "Whether for good or ill, up we go or down, poor and rich, white or black, all of us together, in the end, in the things that make for real manhood." Thus Mr. Jacob Kiis, one of Ameica's foremost sociologists correctly analyzes the vexatious problem of the Republic and points the only way to a just and permanent solution. The sentence just quoted is TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 8, 1904. The underlying thought of Mr. Roosevelt's philosophy, says Mr. Riis, is that the poorest plan for an American to act upon is that of "some men down," and the safest that of "all men up." This, he adds, is the true explanation of the attitude on all the questions that seem crowding to a solution. "How." he asks, "should he have intended in suit' to the South, whose blood flowed in his mother's veins, when he had to his table one of the most distinguished citizens of our day, by whose company at tea Queen Victoria felt herself honored, because he represents the effort, the hope, of raising a whole race of men—our black skinned fellow-citizens—up to the grasp of what citizenship means? And where is the man tool enough to believe that the clamor of silly reactionists whom history, whom life have taught nothing, should move him one hair's breadth from the thing he knows is right? I have just now read the clear, patient statesmen like answer of Carl Schurz to the question, 'Can the South solve the Negro problem?' He thinks it can if it will follow its best impulses and its clearest sense, not the ranting of those who would tempt it to moral and economic ruin with the old, ignorant cry of 'Keep the nigger down.' And I know that the South has no truer and fairer friend than the President, who believes in 'all men up,' and who, with genuine statesmanship looks beyond the strife and the prejudice of today to the harvest time that is coming." No recent utterance is more encouraging than these words, coming as they do from one of the President's closest friends. They indicate that there is still an influential number of broad minded American citizens who are building for the future. The voice of expediency may lure politicians and demagogues from the high ideals of democracy, but there yet remain big hearted men, of whom Roosevelt and Riis are true types, who are unmoved by the persuasive appeals to selfish pride. Mr. Riis makes it perfectly clear that the President keenly appreciates the deplorable state of the public mind as respects the relations of the whites and blacks in this country, but the citation of a few of his words will remove any fear that the President even so much as contemplates retreat from his position or his principles. Speaking on the race question, Mr. Riis quotes the President as saying: "On this whole question we are in a back eddy. I don't know now we are going to get out, or when. The one way I know that does not lead out is for us to revert to a condition of semi-slavery. That leads us farther in, because it does not stop there." With this sound philosophy Mr. Riis is in full accord, "for," he adds, "it is true. Let the South be glad that there is a man in the White House to voice its better self. 'A nation cannot remain half free and half slave' or half peon. And it can never throw off its industrial fetters and take the place to which it is entitled until it is willing to build upon the dignity of manhood and of labor, of which serfdom, by whatever name, is the flat denial." What Mr. Riia has here said offers a suggestion worthy of the widest circulation. It is this: an intelligent, welltreated population is an indispensable basis of economic and industrial strength. Wherever the people are ignorant and benighted, wherever they are maltreated or oppressed, in any large degree, the country lacks the realization of its unimost possibilities. In all the elements of natural wealth the South is as fortunate as the North, and the superior development of the latter rests upon the character of its free people rather than the richness of its soil or the diversity of its material resources. It is to be hoped, therefore, that the realization of the true elements of industrial progress will soon lead the South to raise the standard of its citizenship by clothing the black man in all the prerogatives of manhood, whether it be the right to vote, the right to travel in comfort and decency, or the right to send his children to public schools equal in efficiency and standard with the best in the community. OUILLMAN. THE NEGRO'S PARADISE! In Boston Preferment is Within His Reach. Enjoys Larger Liberty There Then Anywhere Else in the Country-ho, Color Line in Either School or College. Here in Boston the Negro enjoys without doubt a larger liberty than anywhere else in the country.—William H. Lewis, assistant United States district attorney. Boston is the paradise of the Negro—James H. Wolff, senior vice commander of the department of Massachusetts of the Grand Army of the Republic. The sentiment of Boston toward the colored man is broader, more enlightened and more Christian than that of other parts of the country—The Rev. Dr. J. M. Henderson, pastor of the African Methodist Episcopal church of Charles street. In Boston the Negro is secure in his suffrage. When he goes to the polls there is nobody awaiting him with chip on shoulder ready to influence him not to exercise the inalienable privilege of the human person. There is no attempt to disfranchise any citizen because of his color. In Boston the Negro may attend the common schools, and without molestation mingle with white children. He may go to college and spend four very enjoyable years. His color will not debar him from participation in the many diversions which exist there. In Boston the Negro, provided he minds his own business—and the last holds good, of course, of any other citizen—may use the sidewalks and attract to himself no attention. He may drop into a drug store and purchase a soda, if he wishes; he may stand up to a public bar and receive precisely the same service that the white man gets; he may ride in any of the "L" cars, in any of the surface cars, in any public conveyance. In short, Boston offers him the same political, civil and educational privileges which it offers to the white man. More briefly still, Boston doesn't draw distinctions. It has simply assimilated the Negro, and today it takes his presence as a matter of course. The white man expresses no dissatisfaction over the condition of affairs; the Negro, as Mr. Lewis, Mr. Wolff and the Reva Mr. Henderson say, finds Boston comparatively heavenly. Theref re in Boston there is no disturbing race problem. It isn't so much the amicable living together of two races—so to speak—as the amicable living together of individual beings, some white, some black, who mind their own individual affairs. It is true that the black people in Boston group in certain sections of the city, but this clanish spirit is constantly weakening, and the colonial members of the community are scattering all over the city. Formerly the Negro population lived in the West end; within the past fifteen years much of it has gone to the South end and to the suburbs; so that today a half dozen wards know a considerable number of colored citizens. And they scatter in increasing numbers as individuals. They are becoming units along with individual white units. The colored man can meet his neighbor on his merits as an individual citizen—the race question happily being a problem elsewhere in the country—and so long as he measures up to the ordinary standards of industry and respectability, he gets along very well. He is just an everyday day citizen like anyone else—and that is a condition of affairs in which ther is some peace. By the last census there were in Boston's population 11,591 Negroes, or about 2 per cent. In the West there are about 3000, in the South end about 5000 and in Roxbury and scattering districts the remainder. QVINDARO'S CHAUTAUQVA The Second Anniversary Promises to Be the Best Ever Witnessed in Kauga. One year ago we issued a call for a meeting of those interested in any and all movements calculated to inure to the benefit of the race. This call met with such a generous NUMBER 14. SLAVE TRADE Are the Negro Problems of Today, Said Prof. DuBois to Harvard Men. The Nation to Blame for the Negro's Short-coming Solution is Treat Black Men Like Men. Great watch words of the past freedom of government and liberty of men. Today the question still is: shall the American nation still stand for liberty of opportunity, for indiscriminating justice? Shall the ideals of the past stand? The tendency born of cowardice and vacillation, is still with us; "let it be," temporize, conciliate after all these be but black men we hear. The way to meet a problem is to stand and face it and not to dudge before it. Here we have an "alien race." Who brought them here? This nation did, in cruelty and against their will. Here we have in the body politic a poor people. Who made them poor? This nation did. Are they trying to have? They have accumulated at least 300 millions of dollars in a generation. Then we have an ignorant people. Who kept them in ignorance? This nation did. Have they tried to learn? In 1870, 80 per cent, could read and write. Then we have a group that is formishing, it is said, an abnormal amount of crimes. Who taught them lawlessness, licentiousness and theft? This nation did. Have they learned anything else? They have built houses and educated children and paid taxes, and done their duty in every community in the land. For every failure, sank in crime, they can point to 10 cases of silent success. If these things are so, then the course of action open to this nation is clear as the sun at noonday. Treat black men as men. If they do their duty as citizens, give them the rights of citizens; if they wish to know, let them learn; if they have ability, open the gates of opportunity; if they commit crime, punish them by lawful methods and protect them from violence of other criminals. Above all give these men inspiration after the red twilight of the slave trade, and the long night of slavery. If there are sleeping, great drowsy, stupified millions, give them the inspirations of great ideals, of large knowledge, of broad understanding of this new land and age, and feed it into their hearts through the agencies of trained leaders. Troubles of Their Own, Hardly had the high school teachers of Indianapolis, Ind., recovered from the excitement incident to the expulsion of Paul Merrill, because of his refusal to sit with a colored girl, before they were again confronted by the color question in a form that has not only affected the local educational institution, Lut has extended to other high schools of the state now and bids fair to break up the state oratorical contest in which a number of high schools annually join. Samuel Taylor, a colored student at the high school in this city, won in the local contest in oratory, and by that victory is entitled to represent the local high school in the state contest. There were five contestants, all of whom, with one exception, were white. Taylor was accorded the honor by all the judges, who were white men, well known in this city for fairness and ability. The decision was received with hoots and bites, and the hall was a scene of great confusion and disorder. There were open charges of partiality in fiving the scores and threats were made that Taylor should not represent the schools. A l the pupils joined in a petition asking Taylor to decline the honor, but he refused. Then the pupils wrote to their friends at other schools, with the result that the institutions interested in the debating circle have declined to entertain the Indianapolis Negro or permit him to enter the contests. Taylor is a good student and far above the average in intelligence and behavior. The school authorities are ashamed of the prejudice against him, but are powerless to prevent it. = : 7 it . ‘ is ® ~ ; juability to breathe, talk and act ay' raat ae alone two'ent in the persons] . ebAakewn Topeka Plaindealer.

Both are Southern gentle- men, and we would be glad to have them meet face tu face and discuss this great question. Now if Mr. Vardiman amd his friends want to be fair, they should embrace this opportunity, and if they want the world to believe that they are fair to the Negroes of Mississippi, acecpt this challenge from an eminent physician and edu- cated gentleman who propasesto dis- cuss this matter in a genth manly and business like manner, ‘The challenge reads a3 follows: Oserona, ALK. 316, ‘oe. Hon, Jas. K. Vardaman, Gov. of the State of Mise, Dear Sir:—Iama colored aman, and 1 do not consider you an engmy of the Negro race, but you are a man of mistaken views.

I hope you will consider it a pleasure to meet one of the foremost Negroes of the South who would luke to discuss this matter calmly and gently with ill feeling toward anyone. We are desirous of lifting the manhood of the Negro to the standard where you and all of the Southern whites will respect him, If you have been misquoted it reference to the degradation of the ‘Negro and his inequality sad inability to breathe, talk and act ap other human beings, now is the time to vindicate yourself. I have faith in the new Negro and that if he is given proper recognition as 2 human heing, he will be a delight in the eyes of the race by whom he is hated. Hoping to receive a favorable reply. Lam yours very truly, Nick Cures. Tue days of political intrigue are now in the zenith. What plans and schemes the politicians leave undonc to accomplish their ends and purposes are not men- tinoned in the annals of rascality. “Every time 2 Negro gives em- ployment to another he builds one more stone in a foundation of future reward and his actions are worthy of emulation by every other Negro who has money stored away in some bank that is not owned by Negroes. Tue strong efforts by the white people of the South to put the Negro in a bad light ar2 ample proofs that the Negro is coming to the front and their purpose is to check their onward and up- ward progress. But they might as well try to stop the sea from tolling its waves or the wind from blowing its gales. Tue Negro farmer is a success and no matter in which branch of the vocation he starts he comes out of the big end of the horn, The trouble we find is that there are not enough farm- ers, but it takes land to make farms and money to buy land. Just have a little patience and by and by the country will be dotted over thickly with Negro farmers. Turret are some ignorant Ne- groves in the United States who can't sce where the race has made any progress since the shacklzs of serfdom were loosed, but these few people, who are biind in one eye and cun't see out of the other, are not many and their highest ideal isa white man with an ox-whip driving Negroes as cattle. Of course there are white men who talk such nonsense, but they know that they are telling an untruth; but these Negroes know no bet- ter and we can excuse them. — UNIVERSITY QLEFANINGS baleen memttoetions:: An oratorio of Guonod's **Re- demption’’ was rendered in Stan- ley Hall last Friday evening at 8 o'clock.

Good Men are Offered the Voters of This County. ANNOUNCEMENTS. C.E. Holstein is a°candidate for county clerk of Bourbon county, subject to the Republican county convention. Henry Drum is 2 candidate for register of deeds of Bourbon county, subject to the Republican county convention April 30. A. H. Shoemaker is a candidate for county superintendent of public schools, subject to the Republican county conventisn of Bourbon county convention April 30. Although Fort Scott is Bourbon county as the saying goes, from the line-up of candidates for county ‘offices, it seems as though that the country outside of Fort Scott is going to demand and receive their part of recognition go far as places on the county ticket is concerned This is only fair and just as itis ton often the case that the rural districts fail to get near the recegnition due them. The colore' vote in this county is without doubt the halance of power, and when a majority of that vote is thrown to one side or another even in the primaries it is safe to say that they land their man. Foremst among the candidates tor cour ty clerk is Chas E Holstein. Mr. Holstein has nsided in the county 42 years. He has been a life long Republican, was the nomi- nee on the Republican ticket in 1896 for county superiitendent and went down to defeat with the rest of the ticket at that time when the wave of Populism swept everything in Kansas. Since that periad every candidate who was on the ticket has in one way or another been rewarded by the party. Mr. Holstein feels confilent that the party will confer the same honor upon him at the county convention on April 3a, Mr. Holstein is a teacher and farmer having had charge of the Mapleton school for seven years. He is head sf the Republican organi- gation from this distnie?, and has always been active as a party worker. Mr. Holstein merits the snpyort of the colured voters of the county ax he recognizes their enterprises ard tloes not hesitate te encourage by his patronage and influence to aid and assist in their progress. HENRY DRUM. For register of deeds of Bourbrn county, probably the Teading cat di- date to ask the suffrage of the voters is Henry Drum. He is forty seven years of age and has been a resident of Bourbon county for forty five years, and has always been known as amixer, He is a stalwart Republi- can and has always worked for the other fellow. This is the first time he has ever asked for recognition at the hands of the party, and feels confident that his ambition for the office of register of deeds will be realized, Heis well and favorably known among the coloured voters of Fort Scott as he lived in the city quite a while, and at the present is a prosperous farmer, hving just a few miles out of the city limits. Tie Ptatnpestex takes great pleasure in presenting to our many colored readers of Bourbon county, such Republicans as Mr. Drum snd comment them for your support. THOMAS PIITMAN, a resident of Osage towaship, one of Bourbon county’s prosperous farmers, is a candidate befure the Republican primaries for county clerk, Mr. Pittman is an old soldier having enlisted in the Eighty fifth Todiana volunteer in 1862 aud served until the end of the war. Mr. Pitt man has always been a staunch Republican and no doubt sill re ceive a strong support, and if nomi. nated and elected will fill the position with ability, honor and credit to himself and constituents | A. H. SHOEMAKER. For superintendent of public instruction, theleading candidate is A. H. Shoemaker, of Redfield, and wo believe that he is just the man to defeat the present incumbent of that office, who is a Democrat, and ought to be beaten, not because of his Democracy so much, but because there is nothing'to him, his pr judire forbids him ‘n eubscribe forand read colored newspaper. Mr Sho maker has been a life-long resident of the county and has also been engaged in teaching ever since he finished his education, and has been a member of the county examining board, and on account of his rich and varied experience as an educator, he is eminently qualified to fill this re- sponsible position, We ask that the colored voters will remember Mr. Shoemaker with their votes, as he does not hesitate to encourage and aasiet legitimate enterprises con- ducted by our race, aud with such men rs him at the head of the edu’ cational affaire of the county, we may rest assured of fair treatment. MAJOR C. I. MARTIN, at present the efficient clerk of the district court of Bourborn county will be a candidate for state senator from this, the Eighth district, Maj. Martin is wel! known to most of our readers, and he has always been a staunch friend to our people and no doubt will receive a good support for any position to which he may aspire. C. S. KNOX, the popular operater forthe M. K. & T., is a candidate fur register of beds. Mr. Knox used to be promi- nent in Republican politics in Mis souri and has been a resident of this county for more than a decade and no doubt will develop a strong ful lowing for the position he seeks. 0. E. MASON, one of the leading candidates for register of deeds of Bourbon county is an old soldier, having enlisted from this county and served three years in the Tenth Kansay volun teers, is a farmer by occupation, but at present isa clerk in one of the leading mercantile establishments «f the city. He has always been a staunch Republicen, ard always worked for th? success of’ the party and comes into the rae with a strong following, Owing to his long residence in the comnty he is well and faverably knewn and no doubt will reecive at the primaries a strong support, JUDGE ho ONUINCN, the present probate judge of Bour- bon county will of ccurse be nomi- nated for second term to the office which he hus sa ably filled the pist Gwo years, The judge 1 a prime favorite with the colored voters, and it is such men as him whom they are always ready to lend their undivided support, and when he has finished his secord term as probate judge. they will be glad of the opportunity to assist him to assist him to something better. ‘Tarr PLatnDEaLER man has always found the latch string of Judge Hudson's office on the outside and is made welcome on entering his sanctem, and all alung the Jine there is bu one opinion among our people and that 1s that the genial judge is al right. | J. M. NUMPHREY, the next county attorney of Bourbon county is the only cantidute before the coming Republican primaries for that position Mr. Humphrey has been a life long R publican ard resident of this county. having come here in his youth, He has been a practioner st the bar fur nearly a quarter of a century Ie was elected in the year of 1858 as county attor ney and filled the positwn with sgnal ability and credit; was re- nominated but that being the yest tbat the first wave af Populism came over the county aud he with his entire ticket went down to defeat He however, has always remained 2 evnsistent Republican and has worked in every campaign for the ruccers nf the ticket, Mr. Humphrey has always shown his friendship for our people and hus not hesitated 30 help encourage them in their effurts for better citizenship, The colored peopje of Bourbon county as a unit peak of him as their especial champion and friend, and justly so ton, because he has dem nstrated that trait in more than the singular nuinber.

Itisauch men as this whom it is ® pleasure for us to support, and whore praises we gladly sing through the:e columns and we feel assured that J. M. Humphrey merits the undivided support of the colored people for anything he may ask. WESTON, MO, NOTES. Epiror PLAINDEALER: Having read your paper for several months, I have become very much interested in its col- umns. Ihave carefully noted the pluck and manhood with which you have discussed the conditions of the Negro in the state of Mississippi. If every Negro man and woman who has freedom of speech and the means by which to express themselves candidly, would advocate the cause of the Negro as you have and are doing, I am quite sure that it, will not be long before this great republic of ours will recognize the conditions and lend a helping hand.

A large number of friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Giles, 1186 West street, Wednesday evening, April 6, to witness the marriage of their adopted daughter, Miss Maggie Vault, to Mr. David Boyd. The ceremony was solemnized by Rev. J. E. C. Taylor. Promptly at the hour of 8:30 Mrs. O. A. Taylor began a very impressive wedding match, and the bridal party appeared as if by magic before the eyes of the awaiting guests. Miss Susie Eagleson acted as bridesmaid and Mr. Sylvester Vaughn filled the position of host man. Misses Bertha Harlan and Bessie Hawkins were ribbon girls. Miss Nancy Dean assisted in receiving the guests. The bride is one of the most highly respected young ladies of Topkas, and possesses an education in accord with the culture and refinement that she is noted for. Miss Vault has for some time been a student in music at Washburn college and is endowed with a very sweet and charming voice. She is in every way capable of performing the duties of a wife, and Mr. Bood may pride himself as being one of the most fortunate of men in securing her for a partner through life's uneven journey. The groom is the son of Mr. and Mrs Calvin Boyd, and is respected and honored by a large number of friends. He has spent his life in and in ar Tepeka, and has made for himself an enviable reputation. The bride wore a pretty dress of white batiste, trimmed with lace, and a beautiful bridal veil. She carried a bunch of Easter lilies. She presented one of the most pleasing sights that has ever been brought before the matrimonial altar, and being unusually small, reminded one of a pleasant revel in fairy land. The brid email wore a gown of white batiste and carried white carnations. The ribbon girls were. Also dressed in white batiste and wore boquets of white carnations. The groom and best man wore the conventional black. After the ceremony a wedding reast was served to the many friends and relatives of the contracting parties, and none went away feeling as they did before the ceremony, owing to the fact that the sight of a wedding, followed by an appetizing reast expells all unpleasant thoughts and brings to one the most pleasant of all feelings. A large number of nice presents were received as both young people were very popular in Gopeka society. Mr. and Mrs. Boyd will be at home in their many friends, at 210 East Fifteenth street after April 15. That their future life may ever be one perpetual day of bliss is the wish of their friends. The Knights and Ladies of Protection, are doing a land office business at their national headquarters, 117 West Fifth street, Topeka, Kansas. Besides the issuing of policies to new people, the work of picking up the straggling "Orients" in Wichita, Emporia, Manhattan, Osawatomie, Parsons and other towns where the Knights and Ladies of the 'Orients' have gone defunct, has necessitated the hiring of two more stenographers to care for the work at the national office. The fact, of the "Orients" being a white man's game, with simply a few Negroes connected to give to it the appearance of a Negro organization, has become generally and unfavorably known over the state; hence the cause of The Protection's increase. To every race loving Negro we would say, insure in your own society—"The Knights and Ladies of Protection." Don't be fooled by Negroes who are employed to present a white man's scheme. Mr. J. B. Bass and Mrs. Carrie Hughes are having signal success in southern Kansas where they have been stationed to increase the membership to the councils in that district. Mr. James A. Hill is sending good reports from north-eastern Kansas, while A. W. Harris is kept busy organizing in western Kansas, Hutchinson and Newton being among the latest made councils. Every Negro in Kansas should be insured in this society. The more the stronger. The Knights Templar Sermon. Rev. J. R. Ransom preaches a Brilliant Sermon to the Sir Knight-in N. Topeka. Sunday at 2:30 Cyrene Command ery No. 3, headed by Jackson's Twenty third Regiment band, marched to the B St. Baptist church in North Topeka, where Rev. J. R. Ransom preached a brilliant sermon to them. Though only a few of the Sir Knights were in the procession, it was a magnificent display. Rev. Ransom took for his text, 1 Peter 2—6: "Behold, I lay in Zion a ch of corner-stone; elect, precious, and he that behalveth on him shall not be confounded." His portrayal of Masonic love, his story of the order, etc., was one of the ablest efforts ever put forth by any man. Time and space prevent us reproducing his sermon, as it is truly worthy of consideration. A Good Showing. The Court of Calanthe, the ladies' department of the Knights of Pythias of Kansas, is one of the most prosperous secret benevolent organizations in the state. Aside from caring for the sick and burying the dead, they carry an endowment of $100, which is promptly paid to the relatives of all deceased members. On December 3 $100 was paid to the estate of Mrs. Jennie Vernella, who was a member of Prince Albert court of Popeka. In January of this year $100 was paid to the relatives of Miss Phelps, who was a faithful member of Arria court at Wichita. In March last $100 was paid to the heirs of Mrs. King, a member of Lily of the Valley court at Weir City. The member-hip is increasing rapidly. New courts are being organized, and old members are returning. Mrs. Maggie E. Matley, the Grand Worthy Councillor, is giving the organization a straightforward business administration this term. All claims have been paid promptly, with a nest balance on hand. PHYSICIAN AND SURGEON Office 404 Kansas Ave. ROOM AND BOARD Nicely Furnished Rooms and Board at 1434 Quincy street-corner 15th street.

We have discontinued our Burial association, as we find it impossible to run it under the present circumstances. We have about 500 members, 100 of whom are paid up; and to those who are paid up for six months or a year, if they will call at our office their money will be refunded. We appreciate those who have tried to help us make the association a success, but having tried for six months to put the establ shment on a firm basis, and having failed, we decide the best movement for us and those concerned is to discontinue the association. It will be impossible to try to run it without the assessment plan and under the present circumstances it will be imposing on the good people who have helped us to bring the association up to this point to continue otherwise. So many of our people seem to think that the dime for initiation fee is all they have to pay; we have difficulty in having them understand that it takes money to run any business; this being true, we do not wish to impose upon them, hence discontinue the organization.

Hall, who was born in Kentucky in the early 40's and moved to Kansas thirty years ago and homesteaded 160 acres of land near where now stands Peabody.

Mr. Hall, in the fall of 1900, bought a threshing machine and controlled a monopoly of the threshing for miles around and continued to operate the same for eleven years, clearing from $2000 to $2500 each fall.
