The Head of the Nation Advises Equal Chances for Blacks. As the guest of honor at the Lin-1 coln dinner of the Republican club | in New York city Monday night President Reorevelt, made mae on the race problem. He appealed to the North to make its frieadship to the Suuth all the greater hecanee of the embarrassment of conditions for which she is nut alone responsi- ble, declared that the heartiest ac- kuowledgements are due to the min- isters, law officers, grand juries, pub- licand “great daily newspapers in the south who have recently done such effective work in leading the crusade against lynching,” and said that the problem was to “so adjust the relations between two races of different technic types that the back- ward race be trained so that it may enter into the possession of true free- dom while the forward race is en- abled to preserve unharmed the high | civilization wrought out by its fore. fathers.” The dinner was held in the main banquet hall of the Waldorf Astoris andinthe number of guests and elaborateness of decorations is be [lieved to have excelled any function ofits character ever held in New York. The guests numbered more |than thirteen hundred and not only | crowded the main banquet hall bui |the Astoria gallery, the myrtle roon and even the foyer on the eeconc floor, the whole of which was used Among the guests were 200 womer who dined in the Astoria gallery. In the main banquet hall the gal leries were almost entirely hiddes by fersythic and lanral and the tz, bles were laden with zoses. On thi walls were festoons of American flag and coats of arms of the states Back of the epeakers’ table was. large oil painting of Lincoln drape with American flags and surmounte: in electric lights with the famou motto: “With malice toward none, with charity for all.” THE PRESIDENT’S SPEECH. In hie second inaugural, in aspeech which will be read as long as the memory of this nation endures. Abra: ham Lincoln closed by sayrng: “With malice toward none: with charity for all with firmness in the right aa God gives us to see the night, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; * * * to doall which may achieve and cherish 2 justand lasting peace among our- selves, and with all nations.” Immediately after his re-election he had already spoken thus: The strife of the election is but human nature practically applied to the facts of the case. What has oc- curred in this case must ever recur in similar cases. Human nature will not change. In any future great national trial, compared with the men of this, we shall have as weak and as strong, aseilly and as wise, ag bad and as good. Let us, therefore, study the incidents of this as philos- ophy to learn wisdom from, and none of them as wrongs to be re- venged. * * * May not all having a common interest reunite in a com- mon effort to (serve) our common country? For my own part, I have striven and shall strive to avoid placing any obstacle in the way. So long as I have been here I have not willingly planted a thorn ia any man’s bosom. While I am deeply sensible to the high compliment of a re election, and duly grateful, as I trust, to Almighty God for having directed my countrymen to a right conclusion, as I think, for their own good, it adds nothing to my satisfac- tion that any other man may be dis- ee ee ae ee ee gee ee ee, AO this same spirit toward those whu have?” Vhis is the spirit in which the mighty Lincoln sought to bind up the nation’s wounds when its soul was yct seething with fierce hatreds, with wrath, with rancor, with all the evil and dreadful passions provoked by civilwar, Surely this isthe spirit. which all Americans should show now, when there is so little excuse for malice or rancor or hatred, when there is «0 little of vital ernsequence to divide brother from brother. Lincoln, himself a man of southern birth, did not hesitate to appeal to the eword when he became satisfied that m no other way could the union be saved, for high though he put peace he put rizhteouenese stil] high. ret. He warred for the Union; hé warred to free the slave; and when he warred he warred in earnest, for itis a sign of weakness to be half- nearted when blows must be struck. But he felt only love,a love as deep as the tenderness ofhis great and sad heart, for all his countrymen alike in the North and in the South, and he longed abuve everything for the day when they should once more be knit together in the unbreakable bonds of eternal friendship. We, of today, indealing with allour fellow citizens, white or black. North orSouth, should strive to show just the fastness in striving after the right, [snes infinite patience and forhear- 2ace with these who saw that right | less clearly than he did, and his ear- || nest endeavor to do what was best and yet his readiness to accept what | was practicable when the ideal best || was unattainable; his unceasing effort || to cure what was evil, coupled with ;| his refusal to make a bad situatiox worse by an ill-judged or ill timed | effort to make it better. 3] The great civil war in which Lin | coln towered as the loftiest figure -|left us not enly a reunited country, "| but a country which bas the proud right to claim as its own the glory 1} won alike by those who wore the :} blue and by those who wore the gray, -| by those who followed Grant and those who followed Lee; for both | fought with equal bravery and with >] equal sincerity of conviction, esch | atriving for the light as it was given shim tosee the light; though it ie 1} now clear to all that the triumph o n]the cause of freedom and of the ‘| Union was essential to the welfare of mankind.

To deny any man the fait troatment granted to others no bet terthan heis to commit a wron; upon him—a wrong sure to react ir the long rua upon those guilty o such denial.

KANSAS CITY IS WILD! acer Missouri is Asking fer Separate High School at Kansas City, Kae | ‘Those Who Pay the Taxes are Ratis- fled With the Kchools--It Wilt Not Pats the Legisiatare. ‘There seems to be an undercurrent of hatred and feeling toward the colored people on the part of a few half-clad and starved parents aad children in Kansas City, Kas., who are clamoring for separate schools, and who possibly do not pay enough taxes to buy food for an ordinary oar We think the time has passed when this class of people [should be listened to or even given te slightest attention. The good white and colored citizens of Kansas City wha pay the taxes and try in every way to accord people the same righta that they themselves ask for, are not clamor- ing for expensive school buildings to separate their children. Gov.

We find in this country several private schools and families who do not care to send their chil- dren to the public schools, sad employ private teachers instead. This ia the manly and dignified way for people, with brain and maral courage todo. The people who a.e agitating this question should read what President Roosevelt said im his speech at New York: “Equal laws and equal chance for all alike Social questions will take care themselves.” f The educating of children out ¢, the public funds is not left te any one individual or any cestain party orclique.

Wim, SM. Thomas of Greens- | boro, Alabama, is one of the six thousand and more Negro young men and women whom the Tuske- gee Institute, Booker T. Washing- ton’s school, located at Tuskegee, Alabama, has sent ont into all sec- tions of the South to teach the peo- ple by precept and example, lessons of thrift, economy avd home get- ting. Thomas is a good example of what effect a good, thorough and systematic course of industrial training, euch as is offered in the thirty-six industries and the academ- ic department of the achool at Tus- kegee will have upon those who take advantage of it. Before coming to Tuskegee some years ago, Thomas was a butler and coachman in his hometown, Greens- boro. He made up his mind that he would get an education, but he had no money with which to pay for it. Some one directed him to the Tuskegee Institute telling him that here he would be given an op- portunity to study books and learn @tradeand at the same time be given an opportunity to work out his expenses. This was the chance he was looking for and so Thomas oame to Tuskegee and was admitted asa night school student—that is, he was to work at his trade during |theday and studv and recite his lessons in his books at night. In |thia way he would earn sufficient | money to pay his board and at the {same time get his education includ. Jing a trade. ,| Thomas entered Tuskegee and ,{from the thirty-six industries se- {lected blackemithing for hie trade. »| He remained here working regular i|ly at his trade and taking the aca -|demic work for a number of years, ,|but like a large number of Tuske -|gee students, who are doing good, -|effective work in the shop, in th 1 | schoolroom, in the store and on th >| farm all over the South, was unabli e{to remain long enough to complet 8|/thecourse of study. Using his ow ¢| words “six years ago, I left schoo d}almost barefooted and with onl “lone auit of clothes, and that wa *|my uniform.” The demand fo Tuskegee students and graduates al 1 over the South is so great that it i ‘| far from possible to supply it, an 1 50 Thomas had no difficulty in find h ing work at his trade ata wage o “!$1.50a day, This was nearlya “|much ashe earned in a week as: *! butler before coming to Tuskegee : In a few months he opened a eho ‘ for himself at Coatopa, Als. H ‘ only remained there five menths but during this time he made enoug! , money to purchase a set of goo I tools, to send money home to hi ,|father to be used in raising th ,}year’s crop and besides save _|twenty-five dollars. In 1898 h {opened s shop with two forges i :|Greensboro, his home, where h . |lives at present. Thomas appeare 1 |80 young, and then, too, he had let ., | theres a butler a few years before .,| that the people doubted his abilit t.|to succeed as there were a numbe < | of old, experienced workmen in th y,{town., With the true “Tuskege » |apirit,” he was determined to au n |ceed, and he did succeed. j,| The importance of buying hom 1, |isconstantly kept before students: r- | Tuskegee, and so when Thomas ri y.|tamed to Greensboro it was n 1, | ong before he beyan buying a hom | He did his blacksmithing so we of goods and does a fine business. This business is conducted by his wife. , Today, Thomas is paying premi- ums onatwo thousand dollar life insurance policy and in cash money is worth more than one thousand dollars. His business is constantly growingand he is setting a good example to the people of his cor: munity. In six years he basaccom- plished so much because at Tuske- geehe prepared himself for just such work as the peopie of his home community wanted done, and he is consequently a successful black. amith and a good leader of hie people.

W. H. Wilson, the druggist on East Fourth street is a candidnte for re-election as a member of the school board. His experience .in educational affairs for the past fourteen years eminently qualifies him for the position, He ix chair- man of the building committee, which is one of the most important in the city, He refused to even put up money. tw have his name wut on the ticket, but bis services has given such universal satisfaction that hie friends “drafted” him by putting up the money and placing his name on the ticket. Sneh men as Mr. Wilson are a credit to any office to which they might be elected. Mr. C. W. Horn, whose announce ment as candidate for -councitman etthe Fourth ward eppears im an- other column, is one of Topeka’s mest substantial business men. He is owner of the Horn Planing Mill,- 538-520 Van Buren street. He em- ploys over fifty men which means the support ofover 25epeople. His toll has been destreyed by fire twice, but, Phoenix like, rose to power again. Mr. Horn is a cour- teous, coristian, a stauach member of Lutheran church, sth and Harsi- eon. Has worked both in cherck and Sabbath school all his life. He was born in Cincinaati, O., in 1848. He came to Kansas in 1885. In his boyhood days he served as am ap- prentice ina machine shop at Mans- field, Ohio, where he completed his trade. When he firat came to this state he e gaged in theeattleraising business. He owns the beautifal’ brick residence at the corner of sth and Topeka avenue, known as the Doo Martin property, one of the Kaudsomesi homes in the city. He is one of the heavy taxpayers of the city. Heenjoys the confidence of the people of Topeka,is a devoted man to his family and knows the cares and wante of a man of family, whieh is easential to good govera- ment.

Miss Ogeal Wilson and her sister, Mrs. Dora Alexander, furnished some lovely music for the occasion. Miss Wilson is an artist on the violin and Mrs. Alexander is an ac- complished pianist, and the club feels highly complimented in having aeeured their services. We must say thatit would have dono the soul of any living human heing good to have been present and heard the strong and powerful speeches made by the several men om the program. Missouri is certainly blessed with good orators. We have never inet before in a gathering of orators from different states where out of about twenty, two-thirds of the orators present were from one state. Karisas will have to wake up if she expeota to be equal with Missouri, with her men of powerful eloquence. All of the speeches had their effect ‘and were fall of thought as well as impressive. Horton, Mosley and Hueston were aew Richmonds in the fielda and when they had con- elnded their remarke everybody was ntamding on their feet cheering to the pitch of their voices and rush ing forward to extend the hand of congratulation. Vernon, Crews and Brown were the men who set their hearers on fire, and for s few moments everything was in pande. monium. Ofall the orators that we know of, living or dead, person: ally or in history, we know of but one who can stir men to such at emotion and to such a frenzied mood that they would, at that mo ment, do anything that he would demand of them, and that man is Hon, Nelson Crews. He had the people crying and shouting st the time this great and glorious apeect was made—5 u’clock in the morn ing—and one must know that it was 3 great event to hold until that hoor.

We have come to celebrate the memory of one of the greatest characters given the world in the nineteenth century, Abraham Lin- coln, He was a model citizen, a great statesman, one of the highest ideals the country ever produced. I desire to call your attention to his education. He went to school one sear, and that at intervals, but God alono has any knowledge of the time that he spent in study and research, being what is commonly known as a self-made man. He committed to memory Burn’s Poems and is now regarded aw a great lit- erary character. I remember while on board the steamship going to Africa we found in the library his Gettysburg speech and 1 think it way read by not less than thirty men on board the ship and all said it was one of the most beautiful productions that it had been their pleasure to read. It will be re- membered that this was written on his knee while going from Wash- ington to Gettysburg. Until twenty-one years of age he engaged in farm life and other la- borious labor. During that time ho took all the physical culture necessary to develop his muscles and he could out-jump, out-run and threw down any man in the com- munity where he lived, ‘his ought to inspire the young men of out country who rather look upon labor aa a disgrace, for some of the noblest characters of this nation were first tho tillers of the soil and among the homes which are happy, independent, quiet and useful are to be found the agriculturists. I! Thad my way with my people iu America 1 would make them the strongest and most prosperous peo ple in this nation, for I would see toitthatall who are acquainted with farm life would have a beauti- ful little farm of hia own. His first law books were the statutes of the state of Indians which he had not the money tc purchase but borrowed them and jrexd them. I heard General Wat son, of Ohio, say some weeks age | that the first deed made by Abrahan | Lincoln was written by him in th fieldon a stump and a shingle wa: |his desk. He was one of thos {conscientious lawyers who woul |not take a case unless he believe; the party desiring to employ him wasinnocent of the crime with which he was charged. I have many times heard the statement that he was not particu- larly opposed to slavery, for the reason he had once said if he could save the Union by continuing slav- ery he would do it and if he could save the Union by abolishing slav- ery he would do it, but a great deal of injustice has been done the Emancipator by these flippant ex- pressions. Whileon a boat down the Miss- issippi river he saw a young man flogged until blood ran down his back and he said, ‘If [have an opportunity to strike slavery a blow L will hit it hard.” Upon another occasion he said, ‘The sun shall not shine, the rain shall not fall and the wind shall not blow upon any man who goes forth to unre: quitted labor.” A young man who worked upon a boat on the Missis. sippionce went to New Orleans. He was a freeman who lived in Tilinois and while in the city was arrested and put in jail. His moth er went toMr, Lincoln in Spring field and he being quite young him aelf, got his partner and called upon the governor who stated tha |nothing could be done. Mr. Lin jcoln said “I will agitate this ques |tion for twenty years and create : jsentiment against this awfal insti |tution. While a member of con |gresshe always voted with the Janti-slavery party so his oppositior |to slavery was a part of his life fo: [he wasa lover of liberty and th | protection of human right. || When he was nominated for presi |dent of the United States, neigh | bors gathered in great numbers an¢ }}some of them sent jugs of wine {that he might treat his friends anc |he and Mra. Lincoln returned the jeases saying, ‘kindly take thes -|back to the donors as we canno! }jmake use of them.” I hope tha | | this is the practice of all the peopl -Yof Kansas; when these intoxicant are sent, return them to the plac .| from whence they came for we can ,|not build character without sobri yjety. God grant that we may fol |jlow the practice of Abraham Lin .jcoln. »| We can judge by small acts wha 1] men will doin greater ones, Whil 2|he was a merchant, he saw that h sjmadea mistake in weighing som 2|tea fora lady and after he close 1|the store he walked s considerabl | dietance to carry her the balance u | the tea that belonged to her. Upon /another occasion in counting up | his cash he saw he had taken a few cents too much from aman. He closed the store and walked to the | gentleman’s home to return the few jcents. These were points of hon- esty which are imbued in a great character and which were found in| {histhought, in bis motives, in bis greateractsinafter life. Ofcourse, those who are merchants would do | likewine to-day. | He was not a member of the '| church as I understand but he was | more religious than a great many ministers and members of churches. |The thing that made him stagger }jonce wax the fact that there were twenty ministers in Springfield, as '| weare told in the history, seventeen }) of them were against him for presi- dent of the United States and he {said to his friend in discussing the ,|matter, drawing 2 testament from ' his bosom, “I do not understand these men. God is against slavery; justice and right dictates that all f good men be; this book is against ’|slavery; why should these men op: pose me when I am in theright? I J will succeed for the Almighty is P| with me.” How great was the burden placed / uponhim by his election to the P|presidency of the United States, .|God only knows. We are told ix | history that John B. Floyd, secre. tary of war, had eacattered the army of the United States all over the {South so that it would notbe on Pi hand when the new president came into office. Isaac Tancy had sent /| the little navy to the four quarters Piofthe globe. Howard Cobb hac ’ |left the treasury empty. Attorney » | General Black had given his opinion *) that neither congress nor the presi n| dent could carry on war againstany bh} State, so President Buchanan and his cabinet went out leaving the e|government at Washington in thi ..| condition. e| Abraham Lincoln’s life was 4| threatened before he even reache¢ -jthe seat of government and yet he d| went quietly on, guided by the hanc ,-|of the Almighty and the hardship: {experienced in his administratior e|are known to all who have reac ¢-|history, but we do know that h lifted up the heads of four milliot ,.| people, cleaving their yokes out o n| 8ea of blood, and girded bimeel | With justice, placed justice on hi n {crown and righteously carried i w | hishands to the throne of God, fou sr| millions of shackles, and said « 1 | have fought a good fight.” 11] Now, if we would properly pe: yn|petuate the memory of this goo e-| man we should see that every ma yo | under the American flag hae prote g-|tion, his rights and liberty, that | g,|has emancipated from the scourg in|of bondage and that all may fe ag|#afe wherever the stars and strip h-| float. g Give to our God, our homes au m-|0ur country their lives that othe ed|may emulate when we have passc at|Withthe immortal Lincoln who tn ane “en antalisata éanizeh?: THEY ARE SNEAKING BACK TO KAS (continued piou PAGE ONE,) same. The building is erected for those who comply with the rules, and we venture to say if this demon- stration had been offered on the part of the colored students, the superintendent would have expelled them immediately. If this super- intendent cannot do his duty, let the school board find some one else. Kansas has hundreds of good men who can and will enforce the rules of the schools, and see that every- body is treated fairand honorable. If the school board cannot-find men of sufficient ability to manage the teachers, the people had better select another board. To be fair, we think there is some horse play on the part of the board in allowing this agitation to~grow among the students. A person who will take the oath of office to enforce the laws equally for all, and then wink at Gents’ Furnishings, Clothing, Boots, Shoes, Etc. It’s a pleasure to show goods. Muskogee, Ind. Ter’y .

The timeis now at hand when the loyal whites and blacks will not stand euch agitation of strife between the races as is now beiog carried on by a few rebellious out-laws in Kansas City. It was just this kind of rebellion that begun in the 60’s and was put down by the immortal Lincoln and it behoves us to keep it down. Kanaas is a free state, and this same class who are opposing the edu- cation of there poor, colored children, tried to make Kansas a slave state with black laws. They were whipped by the Joyal whites with the assistance of the courageous blacks and run then over the line into Missouri, anc now they ore sneaking back trying to regain what they lost. They ar mistaken, the same loyal blood stil trickles through the veins of a larg majority of the people in Kanga and with President Roosevelt at th head of the nation and Ger. Hech and a Republican Legislature guiding the ship of state in Kansas, no black laws will ever be passed, A mage meeting was held Monday night to formulates plan to separate the schools. It was poorly attended the better element of white peeple being conspicuous by their absemee.

Hoard, the superintendent, whe feaides near the mine at Heniietta, and who 1s now controller of a sec- tion of land, and is waiting to con- tinue the development of the mines. Remember we have over $1000 1n- vested in these mines. Those who hold out will have plenty of ready cash if we invest it. No one need expect to get rich on a four or five dollar investment. -Since we leased, another railread is building across our lease. We are negotiating to complete our lease, which we were wrongiully kept out of all these months. Gooa things come to thuse who never give up but work to suc- ceed. It we could only interest a tew Negroes who can raise from $50 to $200 each, we could soon accom- plish this great undertaking, but it seems that the Negro who has a dol- lar in cash would rather give it to some prejudiced white man who cares nothing fur him or his children than to iavest it where he might give employment to his own race. There are mrllions in the Indian Territory for the progressive Negro, and not a penny for the bigoted fool and idle loafer. The farmer is con: ceited over what little he has, and is afraid he might lose a dollar or benefit some one else of the race by investing in race enterprises. We have found few Negroes whe have money who will assist in paviug the way to make places for their own children.

In the past the best dairy performers in the country have come mostly from the unregistered ranks, The Lincolnshiro reds asé the unrecorded Shorthorns have fgured prominently in the leading daisy shows. Recently some of the Shee born breeders have felt that this feat ure was not receiving sufficient em couragement. As several of the Gest prize winners at the London éaty ahow have been pure bred Shortheras and many others descendants of @horthorns, it is very evident that um» Umited possibilities exist in breeding their herds in this direction. Im thie connection it may be said that = mi attempt was made by our Shorthera association in this country to emcear age the dairy qualities of pure bred herds by Including milking statisties in the herd book. While the assosle ton gave {t their sanction, yet encom» agement went no farther than thé and consequently nothing has heen fone so far as we are aware to e courage developments in this tmoert ant direction. This could be dene probably if we could secure = $36,000 appropriation from congress.—Deaver Field and Farm. Key to Successful Dairvine. A bulletin of the Lilinols statlou says: The application of the scales and the Babcock test to the perform ance of each cow gives the dalryman the key to the situation. Where fer merly he had to grope in the dark ana trust to judgment, now he cam do@ out the truth for himself. With but Uttle outlay of time and apparatus ke can make each cow render an sceur ate account of the food and care afr ou her. This potnts out the best tnat- viduals from which to select offepeiag In building up the herd. A raplé tm- provement may be brought about by the introduction and use of a pure bred sire of good breeding and ap proved type. The continued use ef the scales and Babcock test, together with rood breeding and rigid selec tion, svon raises the herd to a plane of greater production and affords the owner greater personal satisfaction. Cows that do not respond to good treatment should be disposed of at once. In case of doubt the Individual may be kept an additional year, but s cow seldom has two “off years” im S80 cessiqn. Your Nelahbor’s Cow. Every progressive dairyman should take an interest in the kind of cows his neighbor keeps. He should do this, first from the unselfish staad- point of wishing good to his neighber, and also because in many ways it te to his own advantage for his neighbor to have good cows. If he and his neighbor are both taking milk to the game creamery or the same cheese factory it is to his advantage to have his neighbor take to the Instituttes 48 much milk as possible, that the oust of changing it into a marketable pre duct may be as light as possible. Bf the farmer fs making butter and semé- Ing it away to be sold, the more hie neighbor can send away the better fer the first, as two consignments im the game direction can be made more ab yantareously than one. Result of Dirt. During recent rears there has beam much complaint of the “fishy” smell of butter, and all kinds of suggestions have been made as to its possible orb Bin. It Is not, however, believed that this is a new difficulty, but that i ts an old trouble under 3 new name -B is altogether probable that the gaver og smell is named “fishy” more te ap commodate a vivid imagination thas anything else. Not that there ie mst something after the nature of “Sight nese,” but that It is not enough pre mounced to be readily described by every one as fishy. In fact, come have dominated it “stale,” and others “tab lowy.” One expert says that by what ever name it is described, it is the re sult of dirty methods in the dairy, an@ that if the methods are all correst the flavor will be. Cows Creatures of Habit. Cows are creatures of habit, amé this applies as much to their food as to anything else. A change of feed frequently means a falling off in the smourt of milk the anfmals produce, and this occurs, too, in relation to the most succulent of foods. No food ta considered better for cows than Jane grass, yet a prominent dalryman i» forms the writer that when his cows are changed from silage to pastere they Jovariably fall off temporarily their milk flow. He sayz that the same Js true if he changes from old te fresh silage. This should be borne tm mind, especially in changing from see eulent to dry feeds. Cold Water Bad for Cows. How many farmers resort to the practice of tempering the drinktag water for their cows during cold weather? Possibly not one in fifty, and yet no other labor they can pee form would pay so well. From 82 to 96 per cént of milk is composed of water —if the cow does not drink her milk flow is bound to decrease. They mot only do not relish fce cold water, bat the drinking of it neutralizes anima} heat at the expense of feed.—Farmers’ Avocate. ™~ GRAND — PRIZE CONTESTS FOR 1905. fou Can Harn a Handsome Present by a Little Work ’ ae —— | a . ood | bd Poa Ts a te Gare eS 4 oe on a Fa : =. ae ee TS SEEPS ier sae eS Goh FranhanhoaneFree Graphophone - Free!

OT SERA NP PRS ee Se | eae NM Gries a ed scholars have put forth many} «forts to solve the so called “Race Problem" without any success “Pitchfork” Tillman would have congress disfranchise his black con stituents; hell sent Vardaman would extertainate us frm the cradle to the grave; Bishop Turner, the A. M E. Church couservatary of intellect uality, would send us to Africa, the place where Jacob was bo:n and Moses exalted; others would have us colonize in xome section of America, living under our own government. yet subject to the protectorste of the American “stars and striper.” The Negro was not questioned about his coming here and hence the best parfimentarien would not per mit his being questioned at this late hour of the day about his departure from the land of his nativity, whose soil ke has curichened with his bones and whose trees he nourished with his hlood. He is here to stay, and he ix going to Africanize every foot of American soil as well as enj +y every vestige of American citizen- ship. Some few years ago Mississippi suffered 600 of her black citizens to leave the state, thinking she had made a step toward the solution of the so called problem and before theeun sauk beneath the western horizon the same day, statistics have it, 600 mace Negroes were bornto take their place. Through God's providence the Negro is here; he cannot, in justice to himself and posterity, abandon the home he has beena lifetime in getting nor can he afford to forfeit his identity with American civilization. ‘The Negro's destiny is co related and linked to the white man’s des tiny for one cannot live independ- eatly and comfortably without the other, nor can one rise to a degree ofeminence without lifting the other. Mevery Negro would undertake to leave the white man would rise up imarms, ready to shed his life's blood to hold them iu restraint. Why so? The white man needathe black man’s Yabor and the black man needs the white man’s money which is but anether forni of reciprocity. ‘The Negro is not worried ahout the enigmas hurled at him by Pitch fork Tillman nor is he discouraged when such small would be big men as Vardaman and Parkhurst attempt to vent their spleen againet him for he is surrounded by many friends of the opposite race who believes “a manisaman for all ofthat” and who are willing to contribute their life’s blood and their life’s earnings to bridge the chasm that separates us. To me, what is termed the “Race Problem” ie simply an abused method used in life to get bread and butterthatthe soul and body may uot be eeparated, hence I think the term “Race Problem” as applied to affairs that so differentiates the two races, is a misnomer and should not beu-ed There is a “bread and -butfer" problem and Prof Booker “T. Washington, the Tuskegee wizard, Prof, William T. Vernon, the mag netic orator, and Dr. J. E. W. Bowen, the scholar, lecturer and historian, are doing more than all other race leadersto selveit, Gradu ates from their, schools go out und battle against the stecnu realities ot ife, unlocking the iron jaws of de feat and snatch:ng victory there trom—milking the fat cows of finan cial prosperity and beceming x feh factor in the perpetuity ol this zov ernment.

GOOD ADVICE TO OUR RACE To Tux PLarnpxaLer: Piease allow me space in your worthy paper to make a little plea for the destiny of the future geuer- ations. | It is a disgrace, and causes me to hang my head in shame when I sce the young men and boys of my age deteriorating, and allow me to question the readers of your paper as to a remedy for this evil. At this age of the world it is time for the sincraver to diminish, but if the fathers and mothers allow their boys to loaf on and around the Kansas corners, the race will soon be back in its old rut, and it will be utterly impossible for the ambitious young ladies to geta decent or respectable man for a husband. Readers, L agree with you iu real- izing that their destiny lies in their own hands, but the enforcement of motherly training tends to forma future desire in the young lad’sam- bition that acts as a stimulant, and pride forces him to give the future some thought. Qur standing asa race in the time to come means that we must prozress or retrogression will be the outcome. Kansas, with her bounteous prai- ries; ‘‘the Garden Spotof the West,” offers to the coming generation chances too numerous for ,them to search the gambling dives, saloone and crap tables for wealth and hope | that in a few years would cause him tto be classed among the lowest of [our colored citizens and the pros- perity of the race will be doomed. My friends, give this simple a your earnest consideration, for the time may come that you will { regret your failure to halt your way: ward son and it will be too late. [ Respectfully, - t Roscoz C. Wasson, Kansas City, Kans, THE TUSKEGEE NEGRO CONFPRENCE The fourteenth annua! session of the Tukegee Negro Conference will be held at the Tuskegee insti- tute, Tuskegee, Alabama, Wednes- day and Thursday, February 22 and 23, Principal Booker T.
