FRIDAY, JUNE 24, 1904. THE RIGHT NOVE. The Republican convention at Chicago this week has more than met the most sanguine expectations of the colored Republicans in its attitude on all questions affecting the race. In making up its platform there has been every evidence of a sincere desire to secure such legislation as will benefit all classes of the people and preserve the principles of our government. The platform says: "We favor such congressional action as shall determine whether by special discriminations the elective franchise in any state has been unconstitutionally limited, and, if such is the case, we demand that representation in Congress and in the electoral college shall be proportionately reduced as directed by the constitution of the United States." This is the correct source from which movements looking towards the unjust suffrage discriminations adopted by several of the southern states should be corrected. Young men of our race must learn to take a more serious view of life and its opportunities. There is so much apathy and indifference to those things that tend to the betterment of all. How very different it would be if the time spent in idle gossiping when off duty was given over to study and thought, and a portion of the money spent for pleasure was laid away to be used in some of the constantly opening business ventures. Our young men spend too much time bewailing a "fair chance" to get up in the world. Even under the most adverse conditions there is always a better chance. And our young men would be surprised to find the number of chances open for them to step higher if they would only open their eyes and prepare themselves. To get on in this world requires more than a few years in schools. The successful man is in school every day until called hence. Let our boys try this. Let them try hunting for chances to go up higher like they hunt for a chance to have a good time. The effort on the part of Democratic journals to create a sentiment among the voters against the Republican party because of its manifest friendliness towards the Negro will come to naught. The work of Democratic managers in their effort to build up a platform based on the prejudices of one class against another, rather than the presentation of a platform devoted to the uplifting of all mankind. THE colored women of the West under the leadership of Mrs. W.W. Taylor, of Salt Lake City, Utah, are preparing to organize a "Western Federation of Colored Women." It's a good move and should have the hearty support of all our women. But keep your state federations intact. The St. Joseph "Spectator" has followed in the path of all the other Negro journals of that city—gone the way of the lost. It is Roosevelt and Fairbanks, and a sweeping Republican victory in November. Let's "stand pat" on this. A NATIONAL Negro party—a Democratic "Jim Crow" political annex. That's what it is; watch it. Editorial Afterthought. EVERY time a Negro makes an opening for another of his race the recording angel in heaven sets out another star for his crown. --- QUALITY and fitness features of the candidate in this state, but our people are right in heart on the soil. UNION labor has certain mix-up with military state. Colorado, and once dwelt in and around tor are now scattered over. AND now the Russian and let the Japanese so tight that nothing save them from death and destiny which is more galling than LEAST of all the thirst America is that of poor minor office held by a Negro nobody and what little white man won't be missed. IT is the duty of every part of his earnings each day is coming when there will pay you, therefore, to you invest your surplus cash and such other frivolous things. THE great Republican now a matter of history the people, registered next mine how well its duties have chosen from among candidate for the high office president of the United States. YOU will have your hand in attending to you and let other people's business are paid to look after the in that case take the same would if you were looking on your employer's success. QUALITY and fitness should be the two main features of the candidates for the legislature in this state, but our people should see that they are right in heart on the school question. UNION labor has certainly got the worst of its mix-up with military authorities of our sister state, Colorado, and the union miners that once dwelt in and around Cripple Creek and Victor are now scattered over this country. AND now the Russians have fooled around and let the Japanese pen them up in a trap so tight that nothing save a miracle can deliver them from death and destruction, or surrender, which is more galling than death to a Cossack. LEAST of all the thoughts of the Negro in America is that of political supremacy, but a minor office held by a Negro once in a while hurts nobody and what little honor there is lost to the white man won't be missed very long. IT is the duty of every Negro to lay by a small part of his earnings each week or month, for a day is coming when there will be no sunshine. It will pay you, therefore, to consider well before you invest your surplus cash in summer excursions and such other frivolous things of the season. THE great Republican convention of 1904 is now a matter of history and the judgment of the people, registered next November, will determine how well its duties have been performed by those chosen from among the millions to select a candidate for the high offices of president and vice president of the United States of America. YOU will have your hands full if you succeed in attending to your own business. Do this and let other people's business alone, unless you are paid to look after the interests of another, and in that case take the same care and pains you would if you were looking after your own; because on your employer's success depends your success. KILLED BY A MOB! A Negro is Shot to Death for Protecting His Family. The white man is always ready to throw up his hands in holy horror about the Negro, and yet he is always sticking after some Negro woman. The white man is the only one who is seeking social equality, but he wants it all on his side of the fence. We do not want his women and he must let ours alone. Because a colored man wanted to protect his family, a mob of white thugs kills him. Is this the kind of justice that exists in christianized America? TOO FAMILIAR WITH A NEGRO'S WIFE. Bob Clemens, a Negro was met by a mob at Philadelphia, Miss, not long since, and was put to death without ceremony. It appears that the man by whom the Negro was employed had been suspected of being too familiar with the Negro's wife. When he met the Negro Monday it is said he was informed by the Negro that he had gone far enough and that some things must stop The Negro is also said and to meet him in a hand to hand fight. This however, the white man refused to do and went on his way. Thursday morning four white men called on the Negro and riddled him with buckshot. The coroner summoned a jury and after a thorough examination it was decided by the jury that death had occurred from violence, and that Malvin Slowson, Lee Slowson, Stennis Clark and Arch Clarke were the ones who composed the mob. The sheriff immediately arrested the parties and lodged them in the Louisville jail. The killing occurred fifteen miles north of this place in Winston county. No trial has been spoken of yet. **AGENTS WANTED** - Do you want the agency for one or more of the above books?

S. 321 Dakota street, Leavenworth Kansas. THEY ARE RIGHT! Gov. Vardaman's policy is coming in for a great deal of unfavorable criticism by the Mississippi planters just at the present on account of the unsettled labor conditions in the state, and the very discouraging fact that the Negroes are leaving in large numbers for adjoining states where an unfriendly attitude is not maintained toward them. "We have sown the wind and are now reaping the whirlwind" is the general tone and tenor of a large number of leading editorials in the State Press, and in several of which the blame for the present unsettled condition of affairs is laid directly at the door of Gov. Vardaman and the acts of the legislature bearing on the Negro problem. Beyond any question of doubt the effort of the enactment of a stringent vagrancy law is having a most disastrous effect on Negroes. It has caused twice the number of honest and hard working Negroes to leave the state. So great has been the exodus that it is being suggested that the governor should issue a proclamation addressed to the Negroes and seeking to calm their fears. On account of the racial attitude on the Negro question, however, it is not believed that the governor will adopt the suggestion. From all parts of the state reports continue to pour in that labor is restless and moving about. There was a great deal of comprehension among the Negroes when Governor Vardaman went into office, and the vote of the Negro school appropriation bill followed by rigid enforcement of the vagrancy act, has, in their own minds verified these fears.—Commercial Appeal.

Mrs. Rosa Garner, an old lady 103 years of age, died at her home on First and Freeman, June 15th. Misses Emma Brown and Nettie Penix attended the Art Federation of Women's clubs in Lawrence, last week. Rev. E. A.Wilson, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist church has completed the course of study at the Kansas City University, and last week received the degree of Bachelor of Philosophy. The French club met Friday evening at the home of Miss Boone. This popular game is proving quite an interesting as well as an innocent pastime for the young people. Mrs. Bessie Roane Taylor, matron of the T. I. I. visited friends in the city last week. Chas. Brown and Mrs. M. E Scott have been making some very neat improvements at their Eureka restaurant at 340 Minnesota avenue this week. The increasing patronage of this enterprise is making it a very attractive resort. Dorsey Green, a coming young attorney, represented the defense in the Gregory murder trial this week, and from the shrewd manner in which he handled the case has added more laurels to his record. A number of outside colored persons with spare means are investing heavily in Kansas City, Kas., real estate. They realize that now is the time to get in, as the rise in land values will come later, and besides good houses to rent pay a handsome return upon the investment, with cash monthly in advance. Mrs. D. W. White chaperoned a World's Fair party consisting of Misses Bessie Turner, Bertha Coles, Mattie Davis and Stella Wilson to St. Louis, Saturday. These young ladies will spend about ten days "doing" the exposition. John E. Lewis, grand chancellor of the K. of P., visited the local lodge, last Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Nancy P. Bruce, of Washington, D. C., who is visiting her sister, Mrs. Bland, spent several days in Leavenworth last week. D. W. White has opened up a new store on Minnesota, avenue with a bran new stock of furniture and household goods. Miss Lizzie Porter returned Friday evening from the Sunday school convention at Iola, where she was re-elected president of that organization. Albert Ross has been commissioned by Gov. Bailey as a notary public in and for the county of Wyandotte, state of Kansas. A musical and literary concert given by Madame Shaffer, one of the leading stars of the West, will be given at the First Baptist church Thursday evening. Childrens' day will be observed at the first Baptist church Sunday. The annual graduating exercises of Douglass hospital will be held at the First Baptist church tonight, at which time Miss Cora Garner will finish the course as a trained nurse. George P. Craig, Ph. G., of Versailles, Ky., visited the Rev. Mitchell last week, as he was en route to Topeka. James F. Hampton, of Indianapolis, Ind., has been visiting friends in the city during the past week. Misses Miltie Halfcare, of Franklin, Tenn., and Rosa Carter, of Lexington Mo., are visitors in the city. Mrs. Jennie Moore, of Las Vegas New Mexico, is rapidly recovering, having undergone a surgical operation caused by a tumor of eight year's growth and which was removed June 7th. The terrible explosion in Kansas City, Mo., Monday in which a number of unsuspecting, unmindful men, women and children were hurled to immediate death, and the recent disaster of the General Slocum excursion party in New York, in which over 500 men, women and children, hale, hearty and happy, and tetally unconscious of any danger, met a most horrible death from fire and water within a few minutes, has set the thinking Negroes of the race to providing for the consequences that may befall their families, in case of their sudden taking away. The old line insurance companies and fraternal insurance orders refuse to accept the bulk of Negroes; so the enterprising Negro to get good, safe protection for himself and family must build up an insurance order of his own. Because the Knights and Ladies of Protection is proving to the people that it pays its claims promptly after due notice, because its officers are all competent Negroes who carry bonds for the faithful performance of their duties, because it is distinctly for Negroes, of Negroes and run by Kansas Negroes, because its financial condition is sound, sale and secure, because it affords the best protection at a much less cost, because it grows st.onger daily, because its members are the patient, pushing, possessing persons of the race who have pride and power, and see a great future good in store for the race; are a few of the reasons why this kind of insurance is preferred by the thoughtful Negro, and is at least carried right along by the side of any other kind that he may carry. "Do it now," is a phrase that means for our subscribers to pay up their subscriptions; to tell their friends the great benefits they get from taking and paying for a live, wide-awake race paper that comes every week. It means for them to hint to the neighbors who sponge on them every week to borrow THE PLAINDEALER to read, and to tell them by a look out of the eyes to send in and pay for a paper for themselves. "Do it now!" Rev. E. Arlington Wilson, who has just received the degree of Ph. B., at the Kansas City University, and the graduates of the high school, Misses Lizzie King and Dahlia Thwaits, will be tendered a public reception at the Metropolitan Baptist church, Monday, June 27th. A high-class program of literary and musical numbers in which Revs. Ward and Mitchell; Misses Sadie Brooks, Dorthula Vandiver, Lydia Freeman, Mabel Wilson, Minnie Jackson, Nettie Penix and Mayme Richardson; Edward Jennings and Chancellor D. S. Stephen of the University will take part, and will no doubt bring out a large number of people. The committee on finance consists of Mrs. Matthews, chairman; J J. Peebles, Corvine Patterson, Prof. Albert Ross and Mrs. A. T. Patrick. In these surroundings the bright-eyed Negro boys and girls read THE PLAINDEALER and other race organs, and the mothers and fathers appreciate the newsy columns, and the current race happenings that every intelligent Negro should keep up with. The ideas of this class are built on experience. They realize that to employ their boys and girls in business, that they themselves must first make the business, and that the way to make the business is to subscribe and pay for an enterprising race newspaper. Quite a number have visited the branch office at 909 North Sixth street Kansas City, Kas., and have complimented us on the neat, attractive and up-to-date manner in which it is kept. They have pledged themselves to to subscribe and pay for an enterprising Negro newspaper and to also get others to do so. They feel proud of our move, and want to back up our undertaking with substantial money support and patronage. We assure them that we are here to help move onward, to build up their home town, to uplift the race, and to increase the business of THE PLAINDEALER. Their intelligence, progress, foresight and self-interest portend a bright future for our undertaking after we have overcome the obstacles of the beginning. We, the following Principals of colored schools in and for Kansas City, Kas., are pleased to note the coming into our midst of a Branch office of THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER and the Knights and Ladies of Protection. These two Negro institutions are welding together and elevating the race, and we commend their business to our people. It is certainly true that our boys and girls must become experienced business men and women to succeed, and the only way to have them become trained and experienced in business is to make the business, and then make the business succeed by giving our patronage and good will, and paying for what we get. We urge all Negroes to further the interests of all Negro enterprises along business lines. Mrs. H. W. Wright entertained the Tuesday afternoon club. Rev. R. C. Lee, of Baxter Springs, was the guest of Rev. Reaves. Miss Willa Johnson, of Bonner Springs is visiting Miss Nancy Crow. Rev. R. C. Lee and Rev. Reaves and wife were entertained at dinner by Miss A.

At the different sessions interesting programs were rendered by members of the various art clubs. The climax was reached Wednesday night when a reception was given by the art clubs of this city complimentary to the visiting art clubs was enjoyed by about two hundred.
