THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. SELL NO LAND TO BLACKS Mississippi White People are Refusing Negroes the Right to Purchase Homes Latest Phase is Ordering of Negro Preacher-Editor from Two Towns for Advocating His Rights. G. A. Buchanan is the Negro preacher,ator. He has been publishing the preacher's Sategard at West 21st and has used its columns to advocate social equality and urge the Negroes to insist upon it. The white people grew angry at his utterances and recently a mass meeting appointed a committee to give him forty-eight hours to remove himself and his paper from that town. Buchanan's utterances had become bolder with each issue of the paper, and the white citizens were infuriated. Only the wise and cool counsel of conservative citizens saved Buchanan from summary vengeance. The mass meeting, by resolution, warned every other Mississippi community that Buchanan was "a most undesirable citizen," and recommended that no town in the state admit him or allow him to issue his paper. Bucanan lived at Kosciusko before removing to West Point, and a rumor reached Kosciusko that he was to return there. Kosciusko is the home of United States District Judge H. C. Niles. About 100 of the leading white men ordered Buchanan to stay away from Kosciusko in the following warning: "There being a movement on foot, indorsing the Negro preacher, teacher and printer, C. A. Buchanan, who was driven out of West Point for his racial utterances and disturbing effusions in his newspaper and otherwise, we, the undersigned citizens of Kosciusko, not forgetting the fact that a year or so ago the expressions along the line of making him leave Kosciusko for similar conduct, and believing his influence among his race would redound to no good, we would suggest to Buchanan, as a piece of whole one advice, that he should not under any circumstances attempt to locate in Kosciusko. Besides, we would not wish to tolerate under any circumstances a Negro, who on account of his racial utterances, was not covered by the reputable people of a sister town, worthy of citizenship, and was given by them a limited time in which to vacate." Bacchan has been in Meridian this week and the announcement that he intend to publish his paper from here has caused a feeling of uneasiness. No action has been taken, however. HER RECENT CAST. The Bachman case is only the most recent of many incidents occurring since James K. Vaidhman made a successful campaign for the Democratic subnational nomination on the issue to afford the Negro just as much education as he paid for in taxes, and his subsequent trips across the state with troops in special trains to save Negroes from lynching. Every week, and at times almost daily something has occurred to keep the race question "alive" and to make it a "paramount issue" in Mississippi, until the term, "to Mississippi Negroes" has become a familiar phrase of campaign orators in their discussion of the practical disfranchisement of the blacks until every precinct in the state is safely Democratic, although Mississippi has a larger number of Negro men within its borders than any other state. In central Mississippi an action of whites against Negroes is daily expected on account of the discovery of all-night secret meetings of Negroes about Teula, a town on the Yazoo & Mississippi Valley railroad. The officers of Teula have been compelled to force the Negroes to abandon these "Before Day" secret meet- ings, that had been nightly occurrences for three months. None of the white citizens could find out the nature of the meetings, and the secrecy of the participants alarmed the white people to appeal to the officers of the law to stop them for fear of serious trouble. The Negroes for miles around would go nightly to Tehula. The majority of them were unit for work from loss of sleep, and the scarcity of labor led to the discovery of the meetings. CANNOT BUY LAND. In South Mississippi, in Lincoln and Amite counties, where many Negroes have been whitecapped and several killed, the fear of Negro supremacy from overwhelming numbers has caused the white men to take summary action to prevent the Negroes from buying land. Many of the prominent citizens of Amite county have just held a meeting at Gloster, the home of Congressman F. A. McLain, and reminded and urge the fulfilment of promises made by the whites at the noted mass meeting held at Liberty, Dec. 18, 1902, aent the sale of land to Negroes. In those promises it was agreed by the merchants, bankers and agents that no further land sales should be made to Negroes; that the trade of no Negro tenants should be solicited without the consent of the landlord, and that every person owning a large plantation worked by Negro labor should always keep a white man in charge. At the recent Gloster meeting it was boldly announced that no more Negroes should be encouraged to purchase land, and that they would not be allowed to remain in the South should they become laud owners. The articles adopted at the famous Liberty meeting two years ago were reindorsed, on the ground that the plans outlined were essential to the peace and prosperity of every citizen of Amite county, whether white or black. MISTAKE IN A LYNCHING. Some consternation has been created by the announcement that the wrong Negro was burned at the stake at Eupora in June, and the possibility that the mob in its excitement made a mistake. There is a Negro in jail at Jackson, who says that his name is Starling Dunham, which was the supposed name of the Negro who was lynched. The Negro admits that he is wanted in Webster county for attacking a woman, and he is afraid to be taken back unprotected. He asked for a company of soldiers to protect him if he is returned. The officers are convinced that the Negro is the real Starling Dunham, and that the wrong Negro was lynched at Eupora. The Negro was arrested for vagrancy, and first gave his name as Smith. His actions aroused the suspicions of the officers, who noted the similarity of the so-called Smith to the description of the Negro wanted in Webster county. They made careful examination and the Negro confessed that his real name was Dunham, that he had escaped from jail and was wanted in Webster county. The matter of protecting him when taken back was laid before Governor Vardaman, who will send a company of soldiers with him when returned to Webster county. VARDAMAN IS SCARED. "Gov. Vardaman has had under consideration for the past two or three weeks a charter for a Batesville corporation known as the United Brothers of Friendship and Sisters of the Mysterious Ten." "The governor has not as yet approved the charter, and the chances are that he never will, being pretty firmly convinced, he says, that there is something wrong about it. "Who are the Mysterious Ten? There is where the governor strikes the snag. He seems to have an idea TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 23, 1904. An Unjust Attack. We are sorry to hear of one of the janitors at the State House raising so much disturbance among the state officers, and causing hard feelings to exist between the employees in office by misrepresenting matters. Mr. Kelly, state treasurer, is a loyal Republican, an ardent supporter and friend of the colored people, and would not think of making the statement that has been attributed. We think those janitors who are not satisfied with their present salaries should resign and let other good colored men take their places, as there are hundreds of good men who will take these places and not cause so much disturbance. We see no reason why there should be any contention and disputes about the work. It is the duty of all employees, including state officers, to see that the state house and grounds are kept in good condition, and no one should be told what to do, but should take pride in keeping the grounds in good shape, thereby meriting the good will of the people of the state at large. Wants Negro Artillery. Washington, Sept. 20.—General Corbin favors the re-establishment of the canteen. In his annual report he says: "If it were possible by my act to absolutely stop the use of intoxicating drinks of any kind, I would do so; if it were possible by my act to prevent the use by any person in the military service of intoxicating drinks, I would so; but, realizing that the impossible, however desirable, must give way to what is possible and practicable, I am firmly of the opinion that it would be in the interest of discipline to re-establish the canteen, recognizing that in this way the use of drink can be minimized." General Corbin recommends the enlistment of colored men in the artillery or their transfer to that corps from the colored cavalry and infantry. He expressed his belief that colored soldiers in the artillery corps will aid that branch of the service by giving to it men who would "By their aptitude and love of the service commend themselves to the artillery officers just as they have to the officers of the cavalry and infantry." He strongly advocates the increase of the coast artillery by at least one-half and the raising of the pay of the non commissioned officers and of such privates as have shown themselves qualified as artillerists. The latter comment proves conclusively that we are coming, and all that the race has to do is push, hold on to what they have and strive to get more. We have contended all the time that the colored people should be represented in all the departments of the army. They should have been recognized in the Marine Department and Hospital Corps. We are glad the military department is beginning to see the injustice that has been heaped upon the colored people in the various departments, and we hope they will make amends by making up these deficiencies in organizing colored men in the different corps in the future. We wish to see the 24th and 25th Infantry and the 9th and 20th Cavalry given more recognition in being stationed at the different posts. They have been out on the frontiers in the far West long enough and they should now be brought further East and be allowed to enjoy the most pleasant quarters. This is fair and we hope it will be carried out. R. TREAT PAINE HAS ELOPED Democratic Cussedness to the Negro Drives Him from the Party. HE ADMIRES ROOSEVELT! The President's Refusal to Close the Door of Hope Against the Negro Has Made Him Many Admirers. We see that the respectable Democrats in the East are now becoming disgusted with Tillman, Vardaman and that class of ill-reputed, soreheaded and rebellious Democrats of the South who live upon the "scarecrow" of Negro domination and are now trying to force it on the North. We cannot blame such men as Robert Treat Paine, jr, from getting sick of this class of Democrats and we hope to see more of his kind speak out on the subject. There is no concealing of the fact that the Negro is being mistreated in the South, notwithstanding the fact that he is trying to educate himself and accumulate wealth. In some parts of the South some of our best Negro citizens are being driven from their homes, and forbidden to continue their various avocations. Only last week in Mississippi we noticed where colored men in business had been ordered to quit their places of business and hire out by the day, and the unmarried women were ordered to take in three washings for their support. No matter how honorable or respectable our people try to live, they are subject to humiliation or are deprived of their rights by such men as Vardaman, Tillman and others of their ilk. We are coming Father Abraham, ten million strong, and increasing every day, in numbers, wealth and education, and by the assistance of a fair and straight-forward administration, such as President Roosevelt has given us and will give again from 1905 to 1909, it will be impossible to stop the progress and rapid strides that will have been gained by the Negro race in America. Mr. Paine views the situation as follows: Boston, Sept. 20.—Robert Treat Paine, jr., Democratic candidate for governor in 1899 and 1900, has declared his intention to vote for President Roosevelt. He gives as his reason the attitude of the Democratic party, by which he supposes Mr. Parker would be guided if he were elected, on the Negro question. "I do not want to see a Vardaman, a Tillman or an ex-Governor Brown of Maryland in the White House," he said, "nor a man of whom it may be suspected that he would treat a Negro in the White House as such men would treat the black man. I want a man for president who will treat all men alike on their merits as men. In this respect I think Roosevelt has been a godsend to this country, for he has displayed qualities that we have not seen in a president of the United States for many years. Eight years ago the country was torn by conflict between classes, and Roosevelt has done more, and I believe will continue to do more, to dissipate the spirit of class hatred, which is about the worst thing that could befall a country, than any other man I know of. "We can not hope for perfection, but we can strive to attain as closely to it as possible, and I am convinced that Roosevelt means to do the right thing, and to do it to the best of his ability, and that is the sort of a president I want, and the sort of a president I believe the people of this country want." IN OTHER COUNTIES! A Plaindealer Scribe Gets Among the Boys Out in the State. On a recent trip through Southeastern Kansas we met a good many Republicans who are aspirants for the good will of the colored voter, yet who are very reluctant to assist POLITICAL NOTES. Hon. B. F. Blakely of Pleasanton was nominated last week for senator from the district composed of Lynn and Anderson counties. Henry Drum, Republican nominee for register of deeds of Bourbon county, is a thoroughbred and should receive the united support of his party for that position. THE PLAIN DEALER will give him a hearty support. F. S. Preston, the obliging sheriff of Linn county, is a hustler and will get his. There is one nominee in particular on the Republican ticket of Bourbon county, who, unless he is more careful in ordinary business transactions, will be shown up to the people and will find a good sized fight on his hands. A hint to the wise is sufficient. Ere this the Republicans of Anderson county have nominated their ticket, and if it is a good one should be elected. In the splendid new court house at Iola not a colored man is employed even for janitor. We shall investigate in our next trip. There is something wrong; the colored people should have a representative. Judge E. H. Wilson, Republican candidate for probate judge of Miami county is all right. He is with and for the colored people and they are for him unanimously. Miss Olive Knowlton, the accomplished county superintendent of Allen county, is the Republican nominee for re-election to that position, and our people will support her. Hon. H. S Maynard is the Republican nominee for representative from the district which is composed of Miami county. Mr. Maynard is one of the leading attorneys of this section. He has for years been one of the county's progressive citizens. He is friendly to our people and merits their support. T. Redd, the popular deputy to Sheriff Jelly, has been nominated for sheriff on the Republican ticket. A more popular nomination could not have been made. He is a friend to our people and the colored vote will line up like a stone wall for Redd. If those who wish a fine lithograph of Pres. Roosevelt and Booker T. Washington dining together, or a group of Abraham Lincoln, Fred'k Douglass and Booker T. Washington or a lithograph of Lincoln, Douglass or Washington will send one dollar to this paper or pay our agents, Mrs. Carrie Hughes, J. B. Bass, J. W. Golden or Percy Lewis, we will mail them their choice of either of the above. This is a standing offer for the next 60 days and anybody can avail themselves of the opportunity of getting one of these lithographs which retail for 50 cents. THE OLD SOLDIERS OBJECT A nummer of Southern states have recently adopted new Constitutions fixing a high standard of intelligege, for states whose illiteracy is notorious, for the franchise, but they have not been satisfied to stop there. To prevent intelligent Negroes from voting they have provided that as a further qualification a voter must show that his grandfather before him was a voter. This is not an honest qualification. And not only are intelligent, property holding, well behaved Negroes thus disqualified by an arbitrary law, but the intelligence test is so dishonestly operated in some Southern states by partisan boards, that the most ignorant and degraded white cracker is admitted to self government. The G. A. R. encampment did itself honor, composed as it is of men who offered their lives to save the nation and to blot out the stain of slavery, by uttering a patriotic protest in language all the more forcible because dispassionate, against this un-American discrimination in rights of citizenship. KANSAS DEMOCRATS "DEMAND" TEXAS RAILWAY LAW. Some facts and figures which go to prove that Kansas has a Republican law, already in force, that is much better than the Texas Railway Law or the Railway law of any other western state. There are One Million Five Hundred and Fifty-Nine Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety Seven of him, in Kansas—not counting the two legged ones—just one for every manwoman and child in the state—with quite a few extra-ones for visitors—and they live to eat, get big and grow fat, while they die that the skillet may be greased, that civilized nations may successfully war against nations, and that the world may live out its allotted time without "hot boxes," grinding cogs, squeaking joints or other unnecessary friction. Kansas is the home of the hog; and the philosophy of his production and marketing involves not only cheap feed and economical handling, but safe, expeditious and cheap transportation from the farm of his making to the slaughter pen NUMBER 38.

A political platform may be correctly decribed as a contract In which a party binds itself to the people to do certain things, and It fs of worth only as aro contracts in private business. It ts the man who puts bis namo on the note who endows a ralueless slip of paper with worth—the note in Atself fs stitl valueless, It is the po- litical party behind the platform that makes the platform promises depend- able, There ts only one political party in this country that has, year a’ter year, been able to go back to the people, holding up its platforms of all pre- vious years and pointing to its clear record of redeemed promises. It is hardly necessary to name that party. It has made the history of the nation since 2860, and it has been the con. sistent champion of good government in Kansas since the beginning of the state. Kansas has never taken a sin. gle step forward but that the Repub- Nean party nas been a moving influ ence in starting her. No law of ac hnowledged wisdom fs today on the statutes that Republican hands dw not help to frame, A great majority of Kansas people have been and are honest. Incidentally a majority of Kansas people are Republicans. The record of the Republican party In Kansas {s clear because a majority of Kansas people belicye in keeping their promises, | Kansas wemocrats realize the Sm Potency of effort to carry the state for Parker.

TO FIRST VOTERS. /Ed Hoch Gives Them Some Whole some Advice. In his key-note speech L. W. Hoch made this strong appeal to the 19,- 00 young men of Kansas who will cast their first vote this year: “Many thousands of young men will cast their first vote In Kansas meat November. To these youns men I destre to address some words for | thelr serious consideration. The right to participate in government is among the most sacred and important of all human rights, and nest in importance to the right itself is the wise exercise of it, Entering upon the full enjoy- | ment of citizenship marks an epoch in the life of every young American. It is a serious and solema thing— this assumption of the duties and re- | sponsibilitics of eltizenship. Casting the first voto means, In most cases, permanent party affiliations. It gen. erally identifies and classifies tho | young man, politically, for life, for ' pride of consistency is likely to keep him voting as he begun, even though he may sometimes question the wis- om of the beginning. Aten dishke to appear vacillating, and therefore reluctantly and only in rare cases change their party affiliations. Hence the great importance of making no mistake In the matter, If I coul! ' speak to all the young mea in Kan- ras, I would urge them to study well the history and principles and dom- inating spirit of parties before pub- Mely and permanently — fdentitying themselses with any political organi- zation. [ would beg them not to vote any party ticket simply because their father or grandfather voted ft, but tw solve fur themsclres the problem of party affiliation. Let them search Listery and compare platforms for fifty years and fearn which pasty had oftener Leen right and which wrong on the great questions during the past half century. Let them examine the names cf the men who have most adorned onr history and who have most lastinsly enshrined themselves m the hearts of their countrymen during that time and see to which party they belonged. Let them note tke innumerable cases in which the Democratic party has been compelle. by the logic of results to concede the superior wisdom of Republican con- tentions. Let one recent illustration suffice for the many that might be mentioned, Everybody has heard of the “crime of "73." Indeed, for years one could scarcely hear ansthing else from our opponents. Twice our op- ponents made natfonal campaigns J against the gold standard, It was jthe sum of ‘illainies. All of the country's misfortunes were attributed }to tt by them. But now these vocit- erous gentlemen have suddenly dis- covered that the gold standard is all right, and their candidate for Presi- dent blandly announces that that question 1s “irrevocably settled.” Young men should join a party that espouses good principles and policies at the beginning and not a party that opposes every good thing until it 1. “irrevocably settled” against {t, and then tags along with a belated approv- al of all that {t had stubbornly oppoe- eke NOTES OF THE CAMPAIGN. Information for fusion voters: Parker is the Democratic nominee for president and Watson is the Pupulist nominee. Fusion epelibinders are alable to forget to tell you who they are. Judge Dale is all worked up: over the excessive freight rate on prunes from California to Wichita. Kansas farmers, however, are more Interested in securing @ good market for their , Wheat and corn and stock, and they” know where to look for it—tarough &- | Republican administration, | As an inducement to secure the | support of the jointists and thelr ak Iles, Judge Dale ts advocating a law that nine jurors can bring in a ver dict and a law giving the state the right to take a change of venue fo criminal cases. If thereare two laws which the folntists don't want It 1s these. Judge Dale dectares his confidence in his ability to defeat E. W. Hoch. Tt will be recalled that Jobn W. Leedy ‘was once hopeful of defeating W. E Stanley, and also that John W. Breld- enthal, two years later, was hopeful of beating Governor Stanley. In fact, hopefulness fs one of the essential qualifications of a Kansas Democrat. He never gets nearer success than @ falnt “hope.” There are a few Democrats in the state with fairly good foresight, Among these are the lawyers who re fused to accept the nominations for Justices of the supreme court, which the state convention had the bestowat of a few weeks ago. W. P. Dillard who seems very hopeful of success for the state ticket, dechned one of these nominations, because of a sudden | mush of Taw business at his home in | Fort Scott. Several others declined {nominations and thereby displayed Vetter judsment than those who ac | ccptea. The Republican state committee has perfected its organization and is in eacelient working condition. Chairwan Stubbs’ advisors in the counties are men of experience whove high standing im the communities they represent enable them to know the local situation thoroughly. With the state, congressional, senatorial, representative, judicial, county, town- ship and precinct committees working as a harmontous whole, the Republi- can party presents a front which 13 enough to discourage the disorganiz- | ed forces of the opposition. ‘What Mort aAlbaugh, ex chairman | of the Republican state committee, | sars about EW. Hoch and tke Mar : Jon meeting in his Kingman paper: | “The opening of the campaign at Marion made it clear that the Republi- cans of Kansas are in earnest this year and intend fo roll up the biggest k j Maiority: in the party's history Tho | ‘speeches of Senators Fairbanks 1n1 | Long were able and characteristic of | those well hnown party leaders; but it was that of E.

He met every question fairly and intelligently and dodged | nothing. No stronger campaign dor- | ument coull be presented to the Kan- fas voters this }car than El Hoch's | Marion speech.” ; John H.

KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. ALBERT ROSS. Editor and Manager. Office 909 N. SIXTH STREET. The public schools began their year's work last Monday, and the bright-eyed boys and girls with their books and bags have been a familiar scene of the past week. The home is the first of all schools. In it are formed the first ideas, good or bad, that shape the future lives of our children. Hence the great necessity of good intelligent mothers with high aims and ideals, and of improved and comfortable homes. The public and Sunday schools are but the outgrowth of home teaching, founded to derive the benefits of specialized study, thought and training by teachers who take the place of mothers during a certain portion of a child's daily life. The same respect, the same obedience, the same confidence that is placed in a mother teaching a child should be reposed in a teacher. A teacher, as far as instructing the child is conserved, supplants the mother, and is virtually the child's mother while it is in school, and should be expected to exercise the same authority, punitive and otherwise, that a mother would be expected to exercise in training the same child. Hence the necessity of the parent being in accord, standing by and backing up the efforts of the teacher. One of the easiest ways of spoiling and ruining a child is for the parent to allow the child to know that she (the parent, is opposed to the discipline of a teacher. This encourages the child to wrongdoing. It indulges it in meanness. It lessens its respect for its teacher, destroys the uplifting influence of her life, undermines all good that may be accomplished and sets a decidedly bad example to the others of the same family and of the same school. Parents are too often softhearted, and their love for the child blinds them to its faults. They should give all power and authority to the teacher, and back the teacher up immediately in suppressing any rebellion on the part of the student. The best student in a school too often proves to be the rebellious boy or girl who has been conquered. Those pent-up energies in the child seek some avenue of escape and have simply been expended and turned into the right direction. Teachers are required by the school law to make a study of child life, its thoughts, imaginations, actions, desires and preferences at differences at different stages of its life. Teachers, unlike mothers, are not handicapped by an overpowering love to detract them from doing what ought to be done with spoiled children. They study its home surroundings, intelligence of parents and the morals of its associates. They study the child's nature as it develops daily, monthly, yearly, and know what to do better than parents who have not undergone this special training. The two mutually loving persons most interested in each others business should be the parent and teacher. The very nature of the work of each demands it. There can be no permanent success without it. The vicious habit of some mothers in baring their arms to the elbows, and in the heat of passion, rushing to the school-house with a club under their apron and a chip on their shoulder, and hurling oaths and imprecations upon the head of the teacher because of some fancied wrong done to some badly spoiled child, is disgusting to say the least and demoralizing to the very purposes for which schools are founded.
