THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. VOLUME VI. He Renders One of the Greatest and Most Important Decisions That Has Been Handed Down Recently No More Convict Farms for Petty Offenders. When we referred, a day or two ago to the recent decision of Judge Speer in a habeas corpus case brought for the release of a Negro, Henry Jamison from the chain gang of Bibb county, in Georgia, the learned Judge's full opinion in the case was not before us. Since that comment was written, the opinion as rendered, evidently published with the judge's approbation, has been received in pamphlet form. It is more elaborate and sweeping than we supposed and we regard it as one of the most important judgments recently pronounced in the saneness of its argument and the scope of its application. Its particular point is that under the canon system, the chain gang has no place in the jurisdiction and procedure of police courts where trial by jury is not a right of the accused. Its practical effect is to declare unconstitutional the state law of Georgia, which is similar to laws in other states, conferring on inferior magistrates the power to sentence persons summarily without a trial to service in chain gangs, a monstrous, barbarous, infamous punishment, fit to be compared in cruelty with the sentences to the galleys that were common in Southern Europe in less civilized ages, sentences that could be imposed nowhere in Europe now, unless in Russia or Turkey, or similar despotism, by the arbitrary authority of a single person. Consider the circumstances of the case brought before Judge Speer. A "respectable colored man," between 55 and 60 years of age, employed by reputable people of Macon for several al years past in house cleaning, laying carpets and similar work, was arrested on the night of the 13th of March by two policemen, taken to the city pri-on and placed in a cell. The next morning he was brought before the recorder, a local magistrate. The docket of the court is quoted. It shows that two charges were docked, the charge in one being "drunk and disorderly," in the other "disorderly conduct in barrack." He was immediately sentenced to pay an aggregate fine of $60, which, of course was impossible, or to be committed to the county chain gang for seven months. At noon the same day was sent to the chain gang, was at once clothed in the stripes of a convict, heavy iron manacles connected by a chain were riveted on each leg, and he was immediately put to work in the public road with other convicts from the recorder's and the city court and from the state penitentiary, at manual labor as severe perhaps as any of which the human frame is capable. He remained five days at this work, when the writ of habeas corpus was sued out in his behalf. Copies of what purported to be the judgment in each case were presented in the United States court. "It is observable," says Judge Speer, "that there is no finding of guilt or innocence by the recorder, and no finding of fact. It is a sentence and nothing more." It appears that by the payment of $8,000 per annum to the city of Macon the county commissioners purchase for their chain gang the convicts from the recorders's court. The superintendent of the chain gang one E. A. Wimbush, demurred to the petition on the grounds that the facts set forth were insufficient to give jurisdiction to the United States court, that the petition failed to show that the petitioner had made any attempt in the state courts to have the judgment of the recorder corrected, that the chain gang is duly established by law, as is the recorder's court, that the commitment was according to law, and that the prisoner "was not deprived of his liberty and subjected to an infamous punishment without due process of law and in Judge Speer considers carefully and fully each of these points of the demurrer, taking up first the question whether sentence to the chain gang is an infamous punishment. This leads him to an account of the character of the punishment as was shown by the testimony of Superintendent Wimbush and by the uncontradicted evidence of men who had been through it. The description by the Rev. Quincy Ewing of what could be seen in the streets of Birmingham, Ala., already published in the Herald is a pale picture compared with the one presented in the United States court of the horrors tolerated in Bibb county, Ga., for trivial violations of the city ordinances of Macon. The recorder's court is restricted to these; offenses against state laws must be tried in the state courts. We have spoken of the manacles riveted to the legs and connected by chains which can be removed only by the use of a cold chisel, and of the one suit of clothes in which the convicts toil by day and sleep in the stockades at night. Their work is done in public. "About them as they sleep, journey and labor watch the convict guards armed with rifle and shotgun. This is at once to make escape impossible and to make sure the thudding of the picks and the rapid flight of the shovels shall never cease.... And the fact more baleful and ignominious than all, with each gang stands the whipping boss with the badge of his authority. This the evidence disclosed to be a heavy leathern strap about two and a half or three feet long, with solid hand grasp, and with broad, heavy and flexible lash. From the evidence we may judge that the agony inflicted by this implement of torture is not surpassed by the Russian knout, the synonym the world around, for merciless corporal punishment.... One witness who served many months testified that if the gang does not work like 'fighting fire,' to use his simile, the whipping boss runs down the line, striking with apparent indiscrimination the convicts as they bend to their tasks." There is whipping at night within the stockades, when the whipping boss selects the victims according to his own sweet will. "They are called to the stable door, made to lie face downward across the sill, a strong convict holds down the head and shoulders and the boss lays the lash on the naked body until he thinks the sufferer has been whipped enough." There is also such whipping in the day time in the presence of wayfarers in the public roads. "The evidence gives us the account of two white persons who were thus whipped, one a boy with but one arm. For this reason it was not necessary to hold him. He stood and cried as the boss applied the lash. The other white boy was compelled to place his head between the legs of a burly Negro convict, and was thus immovably held. The punishment will mark the lad with infamy in the minds of his fellows as long as he may live. The offense of one of these lads (the offense for which he was committed to the gang) was loitering in the depot." And still we are told that Mrs. Stowe described an impossible slave driver when she pictured Legree! Judge Speer holds that committal to the chain gang is infamous punishment for trivial misdemeanors, and that no citizens ought to be liable to such punishment by the decree of a petty magistrate without formal accusation, legal presentment, opportunity to face his accusers and to present testimony in his own behalf with aid of counsel and a verdict rendered by twelve men. He holds that the Georgia law establishing recorders' courts and other courts with cruel powers violates the guarantees of rights embodied in the constitution. We have no space to present his careful and well supported consideration of the legal question involved. It appears to us to be a sound and laudable service to the constitution, to the spirit of justice, to the cause of liberty and to the vindication of hu- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, AUGUST 19. 1904. man rights under American institutions. It comes opportunely when other Southern men, representing, we trust unfairly, the political sentiment of that section, are demanding to be let alone to work their will in local government independent of the United States constitution and asking to be trusted with the government of the nation. These words of Judge Speer have a solemn significance: "If the prayer of this man must be denied, then the statutes authorizing the United States courts and the judges thereof issue the writ of habeas corpus to protect the rights of the citizen guaranteed by the national constitution have at last been successfully nullified, and hereafter the petitioner in like case must have recourse alone to the courts of the state." He had already pointed out that resort to the state courts by the process suggested by those who opposed the petition could not be prosecuted to a conclusion in the face of the wealthy and powerful interests that would fight it at every step until long after the expiration of the term of the sentence, if the petitioner should survive to complete it One or two other remarks of Judge SJ eer deserve to be noted; "One witness, formerly a road commissioner, who was familiar with the operations on the chain gang, testifiid that, in his opinion, while a sentence there would forever ruin a white man previously respectable, it had no such effect on a respectable Negro. Such considerations do not appeal to a court charged with the equal enforcement of the law. Nor do I believe that they meet the approbation of the reflecting people of the Southern states. Nor are such sentiments conducive to our welfare or hopeful for our future." And this: "Though the color the expert may so paint it, this is no color line case. It is a Negro today. It may be a white man, aye, a white child, or a white woman, tomorrow. In this court the law is equal for all." A GOOD MAN GONE! Father Harrigan, a True Christian, a Gentleman and Scholar, Died Saturday Afternoon. Father M. F. Harrigan died Saturday afternoon at Stormout hospital and was buried Tuesday afternoon at Leavenworth. Father Harrigan had been the assistant priest at the church of the Assumption in Topeka during the past seven years. His sickness was of less than two weeks' duration. He was forty years of age. Father Harrigan was born and reared in Leavenworth county. His education was gained at St. Benedict's college at Atchison and he studied theology at the St. Francis seminary of Milwaukee. At the Church of the Assumption on Sunday Father Harrigan's body lay in state from 10:30 o'clock in the morning until 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Father McCourt, of Lawrence, preached a short funeral sermon after which the body was sent to Leavenworth Sunday afternoon. At Leavenworth the body was first taken to the home of Father Harrigan's mother and lies in state all day today at the Leavenworth cathedral. At 10 o'clock Tuesday morning pontifical high mass will be celebrated at the cathedral by Bishop Cunningham of Concordia. The funeral sermon will be preached by Father Jennings of Armourdale and the interment will be held in the family lot at Leavenworth. A large number of people joined in the procession which followed the body from the church to the Santa Fe depot Sunday afternoon. The Ancient Order of Hibernians and the Knights of Columbus marched in the procession.—State Journal. GIVEN AWAY. If those who wish a fine lithograph of Pres. Roosevelt and Booker T.

The Versatile, Editor of the Emporia Gazette Sees the Negro from a Different Standpoint. WANTS EQUALITY AT LAW Mr. White Presents Some Stubborn Facts for the Southern White Man With a Social Equality Bee Buzzing in His Hat. The Negro porter who saved the lives of a coach full of Pullman passengers in the Pueblo wreck might have jumped and made sure of saving himself and let the other passengers go to death. Probably that porter has no more moral and intellectual courage than the average man of any race. He is no better in any way than any man of any race who—with his moral and intellectual equipment—has done the same heroic thing that he did. But the Gazette contends that he is not one whit inferior to any man of any race of the same qualities. Because he saved the lives of those passengers, probably that colored man does not consider himself the social equal of any man on earth. The right kind of men and women—white or black—care very little for social equality or social inequality. What the intelligent Negro is asking is not social equality—not a chance to marry white folks, but an equality before the law; an equality in business, which will make his wares worth as much as any other wares of the same kind made by anyone else, white or black. And the only way to get that kind of equality is to work for it. The thing that determines a man's rank in this world in the long run is not the amount of money he has; not the kind of tea parties he goes to; not the cut and fit of his clothes; but the way, day after day, in crises and out of them, in the hum-drum of lite—the way he does his duty to his fellow men. If a man treats them with consideration and feeling, if he is generous and decent in his relations with his family and his fellows; it he is known as a square man—whether his color be black or white, whether his station be high or low, he has the respect of those about him—that is more than social equality. Men like John Staley, Alex Reeves, Dave Tipton, Dau Weeks, Albert Green and a score of other Negroes in Emporia, stand better, man for man, in the town, are thought better of and more highly respected than hundreds of worthless white men who cheat and lie and loaf and defraud the community out of their board and keep. This does not mean that respectable colored men are to mingle with white society in little foolish card parties; that is such a small and trivial part of life. But it does mean that in building up this town as a moral and commercial entity these colored men are considered as a part of the business and moral substance of the town, and that they are accepted on a legal and business and political equality with white men, and stand man for man upon their merits as men; and are accepted as men for their worth. This, however, should not make a lot of lazy, good-for-nothing black men who do nothing but bring the clothes home from the wash and eat roastin' ears and fish, swell up with their importance. They are no better than the ordinary white loafers—loafers rich and loafers poor—who are sitting around drying out to keep the fires of hell going. White man or black man, or red man, or brown, it is honest conscientious, well-directed work that makes character, and character is after all the final test upon which men are tried. Negroes in the United States The Bureau of the Census has just made a very interesting and valuable contribution to the classified statistics available to students of the Negro race, in its latest bulletin, "Negroes in the United States," which gives an analysis of our population and occupations. It is the first authenticated bulletin of its kind showing the results of various investigations conducted under authority of the government and the figures will aid largely in clarifying the exact situation for investigators who are interested in the development of the Negro in the United States. The center of the Negro population is DeKalb County, Ala., near the Western boundry of Georgia, and thirty-three miles South of the Southern boundary of Tennessee. There was an increase of 18 per cent in our population between 1890 and 1900, though the rate of increase steadily declined during the nineteenth century. Both the birth and death rate is high—30 per cent. to about 17 per cent. for the whites. The decrease in illiteracy is very gratifying. The industrial statistics show that in 1900 there were twenty-seven occupations which gave employment to at least 10,000 of our wage earners ten years of age and over, and that 95 per cent. of our breadwinners were thus employed. The ten occupations showing the largest number of employees are as follows and in the order named: agricultural laborers, farmers, planters and overseers; laborers not specified, servants and waiters: launderers and laundresses; draymen, hackmen, teamsters, etc., steam railroad employees, miners, quarrymen, saw and planing mill employees, and porters and helpers in stores, etc. WICHITA.

S. minister, I left the city of Monrovia for a few days walk into the interior recesses of the hinter parts of some of the distant woods of the republic, where civilized footprints are tew, and the native man holds full sway. The idea being to see him as he is at home, how he lives and what he does. He is found only by following the winding path through the dense forest where you are greeted by the cries of unseen monkeys, the songs and screams of many birds. These paths are always either rocky or filled with logs which must be surmounted much to the annoyance and fatigue of the traveler. After spending a day in the home of Dr. Richardson, where we were excellently cared for, we took a launch for White Plains, which is the head of navigation for the St. Paul River. We were kindly treated by several families along the road through the civilized district, but soon we were to pass the last and enter the gloomy woods. On Tuesday we arrived at Mt. Coffee, a missionary station in charge of the Rev. Mr. Thompson. The mountain is 1,500 or 2,000 feet above the sea, composed entirely of archaen rock. The heavy rains have caused rapid weathering, and the constant decay of forest provide on its lower slopes, foothills and valleys, very productive soil. The soil is a yellowish red color and seems to be very easily exhausted of its productive qualities. The dense forests are the only protection the soil has otherwise the land would be bared of its already scanty loam. We went over Mount Coffee and descended the mountain slope which is a beautiful country to view from a high vantage ground, yet to all but a very careful observer in following the native path it is apparently a worthless expanse. Upon closely examining this region I am convinced that if Liberia is ever to become what she intends and what she ought to be, the agricultural and garden state of West Africa, she must open the roads and begin to draw from the rich soil the bounty which nature has in store for her. Farming as it is carried on here is simply the felling of the timber and clearing away the brush, the ground being scratched, planted and left; the logs and stumps are never removed, and the soil brings forth without the aid of even the hoe cultivation. The farmers say the land will not produce more than one crop, and so, for another year he must clear another farm, so plentiful is the land; from these crude methods are produced cassava, sugar cane, rice, sweet potatoes, cabbage, collards, turnips, edoes, yams and all the most ordinary farm products. Cotton is indigenous The native towns we visited were Burna Dee, Zookies' Town, Bazoo, Wier Singe. In this latter named place we had occasion to rest our weary bodies after a hard day's walk where we remained all night. The king, whose English name is George Settemeyer, had some early training in one of the mission schools, and his daughter Nellie was educated at the Muhlenburg mission on the St. Paul river and afterwards in Baltimore, Maryland, U. S. A. We had occasion to talk with her, she is quite intelligent and speaks English well. This native town was clean and well kept in comparison to many others; this is no doubt due to the effect of missionary influences fostered among them. We passed on to Woodee going by way of Sivy Duah, Maysweah, Coong and Jah Carma. We had the pleasure of seeing at this town a native play, the death of the king's daughter being the occasion. This town is barricaded, and was our first view of a barricaded town. The king's name is Tekah Odio. The play lasted from Monday morning until Thursday night, the corpse being kept all the time close NUMBER 33. Prof. T.R. McWilliams Gives a Graphic Description of a Journey in the Wilderness of the Fatherland Saw Traces of Gold in Many of the Specimens Brought to Notice. to a burning fire to keep away the witches. A play on such occasions as this consists in dancing and drinking if they can procure the gin. It is not the custom to keep the dead so long, but the absence of the head wife of the king prevented the burial sooner in this instance. We did not remain long in Woodee but journeyed on ten miles further to Khonda Hill, an elevation about 14,000 feet above the sea level, rising out of the midst of the broad valley of the St. Paul as an isolated mound. We struggled to the top through the blinding rain and over the slippery clay where we were to pass the night. We saw the king Zeamah Deemah, who gave us his house and bed for the night. These natives are very glad to see civilized people and to have the advantage of missionary training, but they don't like too many "Meerican men" to get around their towns for they feel his power in war. There is in each town an altar set up and dedicated by a Mandingo to keep away the witch and all harm that may befall the town. The natives of these towns also believe that certain medicine men among their own number can make an oil with which if they rub themselves bullets cannot harm them. They build large open courts roofed with thatch, closely resembling a pavilion for the use of travelers. Their own houses are for the most part built of mud and roofed with thatch. They first bank the floor three or four feet above the ground to insure dryness, also as a check to the various insects. A word as to the geology of the country. I found the same unstratified archaen rocks, distinguished by their bearing considerable iron, as far as Harrisburg. About twenty-five miles from Monrovia I began to see a slightly different rock, that is stratified in a variety between a schist and gneiss, yet apparently softer and coarser in texture which weatherers easily and rapidly. In this vicinity at White Plains begin the river rapids, and navigation ceases. Since rapids are but the tracks of receding water falls, we have reason to believe that the great falls of the St. Paul river were once at White Plains; they are now a few miles farther back. Since I am unable upon such a short acquaintance with the country to tell how fast the falls are receding and the kind of country rock it is washing upon, I cannot tell the length of time that has elapsed since the falls were at White Plains, but from the position of the flood plains and the numerous hills which seem like mountains lying alone in the broad flood plains, I am sure that the time was not within the range of recent geological changes. Close to the side of these hills I find stratified denovian rocks, none however above the lower silurian; the texture of these rocks is very fine principally schists and slate-like material, all crystalline. The tops are almost invariably granite or archaen. Much glass formation is to be found, some small and quite hard, thought by some to be diamonds, but this glassy substance is easily accounted for from the fact that the excessive heat has fused the granite into glass, a very ordinary occurrence where the heat is sufficient. I saw no gold, but its presence may be traced in some of the specimens brought to our notice. Interesting species of insects abound in these mountain, hills and dense woods. Some of the deep wood moths are very beautiful. Animals are also plentiful such as elephants, chimpanzies, monkeys, leopards, African dee, etc., but none of these are easily seen save when one is very quiet. Of these birds, insects and animals one might write volumes, but time draws his sword and checks the merry pen.—From Liberia and West Africa. . ad EEuaoooaQ{,{§}, Dopeka Plaindealer.

The longer we live the more we know, and at last we die and forget it all. Ever scheming and planning to make a dollar. Here goes a young man rushing down the street, over there is an old man hobbling along, here a cripple with a hand organ, over there a Dago with a dancing bear, here are two women engaged in fierce conversation, over there passes the great silent throng, hurrying, bustling, moving, and every mind has a scheme that it is trying to work out to make a dollar. And after all, its only the man who knows things and knows how to do things, who is making the money. Every time we find we dont know, we have to pay for it. See how the world when sick kneels in submission at the feet of the doctor, because it does not know, and he does. When in trouble see how people humble themselves to the lawyer, because they do not know and he does. And in all phases of life the man who knows is the man who is making the money. So, the great object of life ought to be, know some one thing well and know how to do it better than the other fellow. By all means, know enough about other things to protect yourself in your dealings in business. Did you ever meet a man or a woman on the street of beautiful face, figure and phisque, dressed to the top notch in fashion, and perhaps you would turn around and exclaim to yourself, 'Isnt she a peach' or 'Isnt he a beauty' Then afterward you would meet them in a business way and to your great surprise and disappointment find out they could not write their name, or that they had about as much intellect as that of a ten year old school boy, and owned about as much as they could carry in a 2x4 telescope case. They go about day after day blissfully in ignorance paying the exorbitant price for not knowing. The question often comes to the young school boy or girl what hould they strive to make the most successful object in life, to put all on the back-dress fine: or put all in the pocket-board money: or to put all in the head-accumulate knowledge. If we had our life to live again with the present experience we have had in this world, we believe that even if we had to go about in rags, and had to eat sawdust with a splinter, we would rather choose to put it in the head. Stored knowledge is useless, however, unless it is put into execution. This requires energy, but knowledge is the pow-that rules the world, therefore get knowledge. The knowledge that is stored in the Colored Directory of the colored business men of the two Kansas Citys; their beautiful homes, churches, schools and clubs, will be of use and service in many ways to the colored people of the entire West. It contains the crystals of the best among us. Price 25c. Special rates to agents. The Misses Kelly of Argentine and Rev. Brooks will give a very fine broom drill of the young people on the 27th. Mrs. A. T. Patrick and Maud Tillery are visiting in Macon. Chas. Anderson, an old-timer, still remains on the sick list. Rev. Wilson and Mrs. Geo. W.

Ver- non, President of Western University have sent us their cuts to be published in the Colored Directory of the two Kansas Citys. Mrs. Yates lives on Tracy street. The Walker Junior Band and a large crowd of people went up to attend the Civil Rights Convention at Leavenworth Saturday. "After a careful perusal, we find the manuscript for the Colored Directory to be the best that we have ever come in contact with. It is nicely compiled and excellent taste and judge ment, and careful study. It will be printed on the best stock and careful mechanical work will be given to it." Thus writes the publishers of the Colored Business Men's Directory. Cherokee Lump Coal, a popular grade, sells in the dead winter for 25c per bushel, there are 25 bushels of coal to the ton, making a ton in twenty-five doses cost at that time $6.25. Now, a car load of this same containing from 20 to 40 tons can be purchased for $3.10 per ton or 121 cents per bushel in carload lots. A car load of 26 tons will cost five Negroes $14 apeice or fourteen Negroes $5 apeice, who by buying a carload now saves $78.75 or about $5.60 apiece, besides the worry inconvenience and embarassing circumstances in their families in winter. Try it Brother this year. "Do it now." The Grand Lodge of Good Samaritans will convene in this city on the 17th and 18th of August.

Miss Sponger who begs and borrows and wont buy the PLAINDEALER came again last week, but our constantly annoyed subscriber had her husband to meet her this time. The husband is a large old gentleman who holds his head down and looks over his eye glasses when he wants to see very good. So when Miss Sponger came in and asked to borrow this paper, the old gentleman remembered the counter-sign, "Do it Now", steadied himself, held his head down and gave her one of those little peculiar looks out of the eyes over his glasses; but it never effected Miss Sponger in the least. So he took his eye glasses off and gave her another; again it failed. So he put on his eye glasses and his nose glasses too, and gave her another, and that too failed. The old gentleman gave up trying to gave her a hint to subscribe and pay for THE PLAINDEALER for herself, but some people, you knew never take a hint, and you just have to jump on them with both feet with spurs in your boots. The old gentleman has decided to bring in his mother-in-law next time, who has a look that is known far and wide all over her county. They just hate to have to do it, but it is a long lane that has no turning. "Do it Now." Sunday morning and again Sunday afternoon, the Knights of Tabor turned out emmass to pay the last respects to the bodies of two deceased members, R. E. Newton and Mrs. Malloyd The procession, headed by the Kansas City Military Band, was very long, and showed the strong membership of that order in this city. The funeral services were impressive and the floral offerings were beautiful. NEWTON. KAN. J. B. Williams and a number of friends gave a surprise party on his mother, Mrs. T. C.

Anderson this week. Rev. Rivers held his last quarterly meeting Sunday. Collection amounted to $40. Logan Camel of Guthrie was in town last week.
