THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. THE CHICAGO CONVENTION VOLUME VI. Next Week the Republicans Will Meet in National Convention and Nominate Theodore Roosevelt for President. Representation in the South Should Be Reduced. At Chicago next week, the National Convention of the Republican party will convene for the purpose of selecting a candidate for President and Vice-president, and also to adopt a platform. With the conditions of the country favorable and prosperous, there is no need for, and there will not be a radical change in the policy of the administeration. The business interests, affecting all kinds of labor, demands a continuation of the policy. The renomination of President Roosevelt is a foregone conclusion, but just who will be selected as a running-mate is rather difficult to decide at this time. Speaker Cannon and Senator Fairbanks seem to have the lead. REDUCE REPRESENTATION. Just as important as the selection of President and Vice-president will be the making of a platform capable of suiting the varied interests of the the country, and producing the least disasterous results to the business interests. These are intensely commercial times and the political party that fails to give due consideration to this very important interest is liable to come up on the wrong side of the balance when the votes are counted next November. However, it will not be amiss for the platform builders to give some thought to the demands of a large number of voters throughout the country who feel that the time has come when a little love of fellow man should be injected into this mad fight for the mighty dollar. In the Southern states the spirit prompting the condition is spreading, the Negro voter is denied the guaranteed rights of American citizenship by every conceivable device—the Negro's right to vote is questioned and denied. The remedy for this is plain and obvious. The Republican party stands today as it has since it was baptized to the holy cause of freedom under the oaks in 1856, and it should be the desire of every delegate at Chicago to conserve and perpetuate the principles made sacred by the four years of bloody warfare between the states. The Negro has the right under our national constitution to vote. Let the Republican delegates pledge themselves, through their platform to the enactment of just legislation looking to the complete enforcement of that part of our constitution forbidding denial of citizens' rights. THE NEGRO DELEGATES. There will be Negro delegates from almost every state. They will have a most excellent opportunity to lay before the Republican party a strong remonstrance against the pervailing conditions in the South. There should be in the Southern states, tickets put into the field made up of the strongest men. Every campaign should be stubbornly contested; every effort should be made to reach the great body of the people not with the theory that we want the office holders, but with the belief that they will right the wrongs In the South, put the shyster and trickster to the rear and the best brain to the front. If the Negro representatives will go squarely before the National Republican Convention and ask for a reduction of Southern representatives in congress based on the actual votes cast, it to be placed in the platform, we believe it will be done. SOME STRONG MEN. In the appointment of Hon. John G. Capers, United States District Attorney and Dr. Crum, Collector for South Carolina, President Roosevelt did a wise act—one that should commend itself to the whole people throughout the country. With leaders in South Carolina like E H. Deas, Dr. Crum, John G. Capers and others, the Republican party has the elements of a strong organization. KANSAS DELEGATION. The Kansas delegation will go into the Chicago convention solid for Roosevelt and the present policy which needs some amendment. No state will present a stronger delegation than Kansas. National Committeeman Mulvane has made a splendid record and should be placed on the executive committee. He is bright, capable and one of those men whom everybody can approach. The Republicans cannot afford to sit idly thinking that everything is cinched. There is a tactical fight going on in some of the districts where the party usually elect the entire ticket and immediate steps must be taken at once to settle these differences. From the present indications, the Democrats may nominate General Miles or George B. McClellan. If this is done we must expect a hard fight. Had the party done what they should years ago—regulated the South's representation in congress according to the voter cast, we would today have carried two thirds of the Southern states. As it is, if we are defeated, it will be the party's own fault. HE INDORSES LYNCHING The Editor of the Horton Headlight Gets Sore Because We Won't Advise Negroes to Permit White Thugs to Impose Upon Their Families. "Think of it! A gang of brutal white ruffians dancing in drunken dismay around the burning body of a Negro woman. It behooves every Negro to shoulder his gun, go out and fight for that which is most sacred to all mankind—his family and his home. Since the officers will not protect you, protect yourself." The foregoing paragraph, which appeared in THE PLAINDEALER a short while ago, caused Mr. Gordon, editor of the Horton Headlight to seize his pen, and belch forth as follows: "The sensible colored people over the state should take steps to have THE PLAINDEALER, a newspaper published by Nick Chiles, of Topeka, suppressed, or at least edited in a manner that will not encourage feeling between the two races. Chiles, the manager of this paper, is possessed of some ability, but lacks the one essential quality: judgment. His radical utterances will do much to engender strife and hatred between the whites and blacks. He urges his colored brethren in many instances to take arms against white officers. The entire influence of his sheet is calculated to create strife and quarrelling instead of a harmonious feeling. The rank and file of the colored people, who are possessed of more judgment, take no stock in Chiles' wild talk, but the ignorant class are liable to be influenced by it, and thus hasten a conflict which all fair-minded citizens hope to avoid." The above tirade simply displays Mr. Gordon's dense ignorance. As every reader of this paper knows, there has never appeared a line in THE PLAINDEALER tending to antagonize the two races, nor have we urged the fighting of "white officers." If he will bring us a copy of THE PLAINDEALER bearing out either of his charges, we will give him or any TOPEKA., KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 17, 1904. other person $100. And if this paper should be suppressed for urging people to protect their homes when "white officers" do not attempt to do so, the Horton Headlight should also be suppressed for defending white ruffians in their outrages against innocent people. The vim with which he espouses their cause would do credit to Ben Tillman or Gov. Vardaman. This paper has always advocated and fought for the upholding and enforcement of all laws, which if done, no one would be forced to fight for his rights. We thought the Headlight was a Republican paper, but from its utterances it appears to have fallen from grace. An outburst like the above sounds very well in a Mississippi or Georgia newspaper, but out here in Republican Kansas among education, culture and refinement, it seems that Osawatomie and West Sixth street in Topeka haven't got all that is due them. Now, if Brother Gordon will join hands with us and put forth an effort to suppress the burning of women at the stake in the presence of "white officers," he will accomplish much more than he will trying to suppress THE PLAYNDEALER. The better class of Negroes are with us, they pay for and support the paper, but the class he speaks of are influenced by sheets like the Headlight, and are too cowardly to defend their rights, but leave it for the better class to settle. NICK CHILES George Washington was first in a good many things, but for the last fifty years Kansas has been first in about everything. It was a Kansan who first proposed the employment of colored troops in the civil war. The first colored soldiers ever mustered into the service of the United States were from Kansas. The first body of colored troops that ever went into battle in this country were from Kansas. And they won in their first battle, whipping at Butler twice their number of Rebel troops, led by Colonel Francis M. Cockrell, now United States senator from Missouri. Kansas sent two colored regiments to war. A large number of these troops were from Atchison and Leavenworth counties—many of them from the Port Williams settlement. The non-commissioned officers of these troops were colored men; the regimental and line officers were mostly white soldiers who had been transferred from other regiments. The colonel of one of these colored regiments, the Second, was Samuel J. Crawford, afterwards governor of Kansas. Among the officers from Atchison county were Capt. John M. Cain and Lieut Luther Dickerson. PAY OFF ANOTHER DEATH CLAIM. The Knights and Ladies of Protection are still going ahead with their good work. Last week at Ottawa, Kansas the second claim at that place was paid oft, as the following will show: Ottawa, Kans., June 6, 1904. Received of the National council of the Knights and Ladies of Protection, full payment in satisfaction and settlement of all benefits due and payable under this beneficiary certificate, No. 308, issued the 20th day of September, 1903, by reason of the death of Mary Clayborn, in consideration of which the said beneficiary certificate is hereby cancelled and surrendered, there being no further claim or liability thereunder, I being in full knowledge with all my rights under said beneficiary certificate.

Lee the Popular Draggist and Business Man is an Excellent Example After Whom the young Neuro Should Follow. "There is always room at the top," and he who puts forth the right kind of effort is bound to succeed as may be seen by the signal success of Elwin S. Lee, the well known and popular proprietor of Lee's Pharmacy. His strict application to business, studious habits and thorough knowledge of how to conduct business, is not only a proud and living monument to Negro enterprise, but a beacon-light signaling the youth of our race to make a start toward the goal of success. Mr. Lee came to Topeka three years ago last January, and was for a short time in charge of the Capital Pharmacy. Later, he opened a drug store for himself, a neat little establishment at 112 West Eighth street, and as soon as the doors were opened for business, the great tidal wave of prosperity swooped down upon him, and today "The Little Drug Store 'Round the Corner" has grown to such an enormous size that Mr. Lee was compelled to purchase a handsome two-story brick building at 921 Kansas avenue so that he will be able to properly care for his large and increasing patronage. The building in being fitted with a handsome tile floor, frescoed ceiling J. B. DR. EDWIN S LEE. and the walls are papered and painted in the very latest style. A complete out-fit of solid plate glass show cases has been purchased for this new building, and everything will be modern and up-to-date. Mr. Lee is to be commended for his business enterprise and good judgment, and the colored people point to him and his business with a finger of special pride. Here is an excellent example for the Negro young and old and if more of us would follow Mr. Lee's excellent example, the often cussed and discussed "race problem" would pale into insignificance. He has not spent his time on the street corners predicting failures for others who have launched out into the business world, but at once became imbued with the spirit of Western get-up-and-get, and today he is in a class almost distinctively alone. The new home recently purchased for his elaborate drug store cost $5,000, which will be adorned with a stock of drugs of equal cost. He has a corps of competent and courteous clerks, and the only drug store in the city that has a tile floor and electric signs. Mr. Lee is a native of Columbus, Ohio and graduated from the Ohio State University in pharmacy and science, and for several years was a traveling salesman for a wholesale firm of that city, all of which serves to increase his knowledge of his chosen profession, and in which he stands second to none. Mr. Lee comes from one of the best families in Ohio. One of his sisters was a teacher in the public schools, of Topeka, and is now a teacher in the mixed schools of Columbus. He has another sister who is one of foremost artists of the country. It was she who painted the only picture from life of the lamented McKinley, which was greatly admired by all who saw it. The picture was purchased for $1,500 by an Ohio society, which is composed of millionaires. This portrait was pronounced by several critics as being one of the best oil paintings ever placed before the public. He is a popular lodge man being a Mason, Odd Fellow, K. of P., and O. E. S. No man tries to do more for the uplift of the race than he, and no stone is left unturned by him to throw dollars into the hands of members of the race. He will remove to his new, spacious quarters June 27th, and will have his grand opening Saturday, July 2. Stienburg's orchestra will render music for the occasion afternoon and night, and the public is cordially invited to call and inspect the neatest and best stock of drugs, toilet articles, etc., in Topeka. Mr. Lee's reputation for making and serving ice cream soda needs no comment, and he has one of the finest soda fountains in the city. ST. JOSEPH, MO. Miss Washington of Kansas City, is the guest of Mrs. Essex Williams. Miss Lillie Hatcher of Effingham attended commencement here last week. Miss Louise Trent and James Beck were quietly married last Wednesday. Misses Anna and Pandora Newman of Grand Junction, Col. are guests of their relatives, Mr. and Mrs. A. Morton. Prof. and Mrs. Bruce entertained the graduating class at their home last Wednesday afternoon. Prof. Meserve of N. Carolina delivered the annual address on commencement night on the subject, "The Bright Side." Mrs. Pauline Turner received the gold medal for the best written and best delivered essay. Miss Anna Gordon was valedictorian of the class and Miss Anna Wynne, salutatorian. Dr. and Mrs. Carrion were "at home" Monday evening to a few friends in honor of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Knox. Mrs. Knox leaves Thursday for her former home, Washington, D. C. to spend the summer with relatives and friends She leaves with the best wishes of the many friends to whom she has endeared herself. All present voted Mrs. Carrion a charming hostess, and they were loath to leave, though the "wee sma' hours" were approaching. Dainty refreshments in pink and white were served. Those present were Attorney and Mrs. Knox, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Smothers, Mesdames Carl Shaffer, Jack Lee, J. N. Oliver, A. Baker, Turner, Misses Washington of Kansas City, Stella May, Pauline Turner, Dr. Thompson, O. G. Marshall. LINCOLN. NEB. The Sorosis club gave its fifth annual reception Thursday evening at K. P. castle. The hall was beautifully decorated with cut flowers, draperies and rugs. Miss Goldie Murry acted as mistress of ceremonies. The program was as follows: Welcome address, Mrs! A. P. Curtis; solo, W. Kemp; recitation, Mrs. J. W Cooley; solo, Mr. Galbert; instrumental solo, Miss Mabel Bush; paper on "Success," Miss Mable Hill; oration, O McWilliam; paper on "Friendship" by Miss Pearl Ross; recitation, Mrs. Green; oration, Miss Goldie Murray; a few pleasing remarks, Mr. Green and G. Johnson. Refreshments consisting of ices and wafers were served. Music was furnished by Prof. Fred Curites. The race question has been presented to the management of the World's fair and now bids fair to vex them till the close of the exposition period. Every effort has been made to avoid raising the issue, but in the next few days it seems as though the company will be obliged to take some sort of a stand. With a view to meeting some unpleasant features, a proposition is under consideration to employ Mrs. A. M. Curtis, a colored woman of education and address, to head the Afro-American bureau. Her duties will be to meet and greet the colored people and preside over a small building which will be in a measure a house of public comfort for the colored people. It is the hope of the exposition people that such an arrangement will tend to solve some of the vexations which have already arisen in connection with the reception of colored people. Complaint was made recently that in one of The Pike restaurants, in a conspicuous place, a sign had been posted reading "No colored people served in this restaurant." The complaint was referred to the general counsel of the company. It is understood to be his opinion that no action can be taken by the company, because the restaurants are only responsible to the exposition company in a general way, and patrons have have the same recourse they in restaurants outside the grounds. WANT FRESH WATER SERVED. Another complaint came from some colored people who claim that the company which has the fresh water concession refused to serve them when they offered to drop a cent in the slot, as do white folks. The booths are presided over by young women, who, the complainant said, refused to set out glasses for them. When questioned, the water company officers said that it they served colored people with the water it would ruin their trade with the white people. This difficulty has been obviated, it is believed, by the suggestion that special tanks of water shall be set aside for colored people at each of the stands. Special goblets, of the same design but distinctively marked, will also be secured, and with these colored folks will be served. The exposition company is determined not to be committed to any specific attitude on the color question. The grounds of the exposition are necessarily and designedly open to all races, sects and peoples. The grounds and the facilities under the command of the company are as free from regulations and restrictions as the streets of a metropolis, only more so, according to the view of the general counsel of the company. The world has been invited to come to St. Louis and the world is to be welcomed. It is the hope that the cosmopolitan entertainments of the summer, in which the intelligent dark-skinned races of the far East and of Southern countries will participate and show to good advantage, will go far toward relieving the present unquestioned disposition to insist upon drawing the color line. The opening of the Afro-American bureau, with a hostess in charge, will also go far toward placating the colored race for any distinct line individuals may draw which is beyond the power of the exposition company to correct. Jerusalen at Removed somewhat from the Pike proper, but one of the popular concessions on the World's Fair grounds at St. Louis, is Jerusalem, a reproduction of the Holy City of Palestine. It occupies a tract of thirteen acres enclosed within walls, near the West restaurant pavilion in the terrace of states and south of Machinervy hall. Within those wall 500 natives of Jerusalem—Jews, Moslems, Christians.—are conducting the trades they were accustomed to carry on in Palestine. Entering this reproduced Jerusalem from the Jaffa gate—the gate opening on the road that leads down from the palace of Fine Arts—you NUMBER 24. Has the Black Man Any Business at the World's Fair?

Be Your Own Judge About Attending the Fair. are first confronted with a Jerusalem court scene; natives in Oriental dress representing a dozen nationalities; pretty flower girls; attendants minding long rows of camels or donkeys, or conducting screaming parties of visitors perched aloof on the camels through the narrow streets of the city. To the right, as you enter the court you will see surrounded by a moat the remains of what was the citadel of Jerusalem. One of the towers comprising the citadel is the historical tower of David, where it is said, David wrote his psalms. You are met here by the guides, natives of Jerusalem, who will conduct you through the city, showing you the buildings and places of sacred interest and relating in remarkably good English scores of traditions and legends that are told in Jerusalem concerning each historic spot. Leaving the court you will be conducted west on David street to Christian street or the street that leads to the church of the Holy Sepulchre. This church, which is a reproduction in size, decoration and arrangement of the church in Jerusalem, is the spot of sacred interest in the new city. Seven churches worship here. You will be shown here a reproduction of the Holy Sepulchre, such representations of the crucifixion as are in the church at Jerusalem, and the church of each sect faithfully reproduced. To your left as you enter the outside you will find the alcove where sit the Mohammedans to smoke and drink until 4 o'clock when the Christians will be finished with their worship. Then they lock the church and go home. From the church you will be conducted to the mosque of Omar, which is built on the site of the ancient temple. Here the Mohammedans come daily to worship. Before this sacred place can be entered, all visitors must remove their shoes and put on the slippers that are provided for that purpose. In the center of this mosque is reproduced the rock of Abraham, where it is said Abraham took his son Isaac to offer him as a sacrifice. From the mosque you will visit the "Wailing Wall" where goes the Jew to weep and pray for the restoration of the Holy City to the Sons of David. This wall in Jerusalem is all that remains of the ancient temple. Seventy feet of it is now buried in rubbish. In order to keep it the proper height the wall has been retopped with modern construction. Leaving the Jews' wall you will visit in succession a diorama of the Mount of Olives, showing the garden of Gethsemane, valley of Kedron, the Dead Sea and the Mohammedan minaret located on the spot of the ascension; the Via Dolorosa or way of sorrow along which Christ bore the cross; the barracks where Christ was tried; the house of Simon the Cyrenese, who assisted in bearing the cross; the house of the rich man; the traditional house of the poor man Lazarus and St. Stephen's gate where the stoning and martyrdom of St. Stephen took place. These leading features can all be seen without extra charge when the admission into the gates is paid. Commodious toilet rooms will be found throughout the grounds and all are free of charge. Among the interesting sub-concisions in Jerusalem is a beautiful cyclorama of the cruxion giving a realistic representation of the tragedy of Golgotha and the Holy City and its environs as it appeared in the time of Christ. One cloth alone in this effect weighs 4,000 pounds. Other sub concessions are a reproduction of Solomon's Temple and the enchantment of Israelites around Mt. Sinai, showing the tabernacle; the Biblical-Historical Opera company giving regular performances in the Jerusalem theatre; the Bethlehem manger and the Jerusalem marriage altar.

We are inclined to think that Mr. Swendson will find opposition to his pet scheme elsewhere than among Negroes.

So, down at the great fair they had to mark the drinking glasses so dis- tinctly that it is impossible for a mistake ta be made in letting a white person drink out of a glass used by a colored person.

We are much indebted to Col and Mrs. George Wasson, Cor- vine Patterson, W. S. Harris, I. F. Bradley, B. S. Smith, Henderson & Co., Revs. Ward, Moppins, Mitchell and I. Arling- ton Wilson for the untiring man- ner in which they have assissted us to become established. They are business men and women who see much in store for the future, and are a credit to any community. We will always be thankful for the lift that they have given us. Kansas City, Kas., is located in the triangular space at the junction of the Missouri and Kaw rivers is very historic ground. Asit is rich in history it is also large in numbers, as well as business transacted among and with its large colored resident population. The large bulk of Negroes own their own homes, and many have a num- ber cf houses to rent, Rent is high and desirable houses are scarce. It is a fine field for investment of colored capital. Three or four real estate firms do good business. This makes plenty of business for the eight or aine colored lawyers. The colored doctors prosper, live in beautiful homes and are highly esteemed by the people. The people on this side seem to love to attend the churches, which are cosily finished and furnished within, and the able pastor: from their healthy and robus' appearanc2, good nature anc Sincerity appear to enjoy the liberal support of their-congre gations. The Wyandotte count: Negroes lead Kansas in th volumz of business transacte: and are pushing ahead in busi ness matters. In politics, th Negro is represented in almos every department of the govern ment. The homes of the colore citizens are clean, and hav nice well-kept lawns, plenty trees, shrubbery, etc., and nearl every house is nicely and newl painted.

We, the undersigned Ministers of Kansas City, Kas., do most sincerely greet with favor, the establishment within our city of a branch office of Tue ToreKka PuaixpeaLer and the Knights and Ladies of Protection, Know- ing these two worthy institutions to be conducted by Kansas colored men who are working with blgh and neble aims for deep and extensive results—‘‘the unity and uplift of the Negro race,”’ and we take great pleas- ure in recommending their busi- nessto our people for support and encouragement. We realize that the Negro race must rise along business lines, that they themselves must make places for their boys and girls by first making the business at which they are to be em- ployed, and that the way to make the business is to patro- nize the colored business enter- prises. Hence, we pledge out constant and hearty support in furthering the interests of these Negro business enterprises. Yours for advancement along business lines, Rev. E. A. Wilson, Rev. A. M. Ward, Rev.
