TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Historical Society State House VOLUme VIII. The Governor of Missouri Will Put Forth Every Effort to Punish Lynchers. Gov. Folk, of Missouri, is a man in whom all can have abiding faith. An honest Governor is all that old Missouri has needed for years. If we ever have an opportunity to vote for Joseph Folk for Governor we will cast that vote with pleasure. He is a man of iron will and the determination of an Ajax. If the Southern States where white prejudice is strong would elect the Foulk 1912 to office lynching, burning and other outrages would soon be at an end. Run the ruffles down! Hang them by order of the Court! Be a little more decent with them than they were to their victims. SPRINGFIELD, Mo. April 16.—Four men are now unlaw for arrest here, who are charged with being leaders in the mob that broke into the county jail Saturday night and lynched three Negroes. One of the alleged mob's leaders is in jail and three have been released on bond. Chas Cannefax and Oney Calfry were the first two men arrested. Cannefax had been a pool room proprietor, but at present employed in the St. Louis & San Francisco yards. Calfey is a switchman. Hall is still in jail. Cannefax went to Sheriff Horner to lay and inquired how much damage had been done by the mob on the sheriff's property. Cannefax was informed that it would amount to $1,000. He then said a collection would be taken up to repair the loss, but his offer was flatly refused by Sheriff Hornet. The grand jury will meet tomorrow especially to indict those in the mob. Up to noon today men who had been in the mob made no secret of it. They stood up on the street corners and joked each other about it. But when word came that Gov. Folk had offered a reward of $100 for the conviction of any member of the mob and when Roscoe Patterson, prosecuting attorney, openly declared that he intended to work for the arrest and conviction of every man concerned in the lynching there was uneasiness. At noon it became known that five warrants charging murder in the first degree, were in the hands of the sheriff. After the arrest the lynchers became alarmed and left the square. Before dark the square was deserted and to night it is absolutely quiet. Around the jail are camped 200 soldiers, with guards out at every point, so that none get near the jail. No mob that might be raised here could face the soldiery and no one expects a mob or any further trouble, so long as the militia stay. How long they will be kept here no one knows. They will stay until Governor Polk orders them away. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., April 16- Governor Folk has ordered Bug. Gen. Henry C. Clark, commanding state troops in Springfield, to arrest the leaders of Saturday night's mob and lock them in the county jail and surround the jail with the soldiers to prevent the escape of the prisoners. This order from the Governor was made it 11:30 this morning, after he had communicated by telephone with the prosecuting attorney of Greene county, and also the sheriff of that county. Both of these officials informed the Governor that they knew the leaders of the mob. The Governor then communicated with Alputant General DeArmond TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 27, 1906. in Springfield and inquired why the county officials did not arrest the leaders if they knew them. Gen. DeArmond replied that that the officers were afraid to make the arrests. TO ARREST ABOUT FIETELY. The Governor immediately directed General DeArmond to order General Clark to make the arrests with the state troops. The Governor says there will be about fifteen arrests made. Governor Folk early this morning offered a reward of $400 for information leading to the conviction of any member of the Springfield mob. At the request of the Governor, the Assistant Attorney General, John Kennush, left at noon for Springfield to assist the prosecuting attorney of Green county in the grand jury investigation. The Governor purposes to have the outrage thoroughly investigated and has instructed the prosecutor to leave nothing undone that would lead to the conviction of the guilty ones. Judge J. A. Lincoln, of the criminal court, in charging the grand jury, was bitter in his statements. After reciting the cases leading up to the calling together of the jury, he said This outrage deserves the condemnation of all good citizens and the most rigid investigation at your hands. All persons, then aiders and abetters engaged in that shameful outrage, are guilty under the law of murder in the first degree. The law makes no less a crime because 200 engaged in the consumption of the crime, than if one man alone and under cover of the night committed the crime. Crime never becomes lawful because multitudes seek to give it sanction. Mob violence never has and never can accomplish good. Lawlessness places all things and all men in peril. "Let the lash fall where it may, you should indict every man proved to your reasonable satisfaction to be guilty. Whether friend or foe, rich or poor, high or low, wherever you find guilt, let that guilt be punished. The path of safety lies in the most rigorous, rigid and exhaustive investigation. "That night's scenes have turned backward the hands on the dial of our progress, we know not how far, and only the most vigorous measures can compel a rebound. Your investigation should be prudent, careful and painstaking in order to protect any who may be wrongfully charged." The jury is composed of men of high character and includes Rev. W. R. Harlow, pastor of Central Christian church, C.A.Walterhouse and C. A. Hubbard, real estate dealers; A. A. Mehl and T. T. Chandler, merchants; J. C. Dodson, formerly heredit of this county; Geo. W. Miller, capitalist, and A. B. Appleby, a former judge of the county court. The taking of testimony was begun without delay Warrants for the arrest of one hundred men connected with the lynching are in the hands of Sheriff Hornet. Five men were arrested last night, three more were arrested up to noon today. They were, Henry Carson, son of a former treasurer of this county; Fred Stonkey, a carpenter, and Emmett Kinney, son of T. M. Kinney who was murdered by Negroes here last December. Someone supposed to be Negro, fired two bullets early this morning into the house of P. Pieller, a travelling man. Mr Pieller is the father of Olive Pieller, the young woman Loise Peters is courting home last night when he was attacked by two Negroes, and shot and instantly killed one of them. Later two bullets were fired through the window of the bedroom occu WHITE NEWSPAPERS CAUSE LYNCHING "In analyzing the causes of the Springfield riot it appears that the blame should be divided between the officers of the law, municipal and county, and the Negro residents of the town. The accounts of the affair make it plain that the sheriff and the city police failed to do their plain duty. The number of the mob is no excuse for their cowardice and failure to take the proper precautions to defend the prisoners or remove them to a place of safety. Is has been demonstrated again and again in Missouri and elsewhere that one determined man, armed with the authority and backed by the majesty of the law, can keep at bay any sort of a mob, especially the lawless riffraff that composed the Springfield mob. Sam B. Cook, ex secretary of state, and formerly sheriff of Warren county, stood of just such a mob, single handed and alone, when he was scarcely more than a boy, and there are plenty of other such instances in the state's history. "Then, too, the municipal authorities of Springfield are to blame for the lax system of law enforcement which has been pursued for years in that town. The town has no workhouse or other penal institution, and the city convicts are kept in idleness in the county jail. This is no punishment to lawless and desperate characters who care nothing for the disgrace, having no social standing to lose; and to make matters worse, the custom has been to turn all city prisoners loose as soon as possible, the authorities acting on the idea that it is better to let them run at large than to incur the cost of feeding them. If a convict is sentenced to a fine of $50 to $100 he is allowed to "lay it out," as the Negroes expreses it, in the county jail at the rate of $5 for each day's imprisonment. "Thus a Negro who has committed a gross offense against the city and is fined $100 is only compelled to sleep and eat twenty days in idleness at the city's expense. The bad Negroes of Springfield regard such punishment as a joke, and this parsimonious and mistaken municipal policy has resulted in making that town a Mecca for lawless Negroes, who are congregated in a small district called "the levee," along a small stream. Their orgies are unchecked, and crimes are planned as the logical outcome of their evil associations. "Springfield needs to revolutionize its penal system and put its convicts at hard labor on the streets and else where, so that the town will derive some return from the cost of keeping them, and also to the end that the incarceration and hard labor may become terror to evil doers. "The Negroes, as a race, must shoulder their share of the responsibility for the crimes that led to the Springfield riot, because they are too tender with the lawless element of their own race. A large percentage of the race are law abolishing citizens, but they do themselves a great injustice and bring reproach upon their race by reason of their failure to enforce high standards, socially and morally, against the bad element. If they wish to win the respect of the white race they must show they are worthy by frowning down crime and ostracizing the criminals who disgrace them. Instead, too often the tendency is to defend the bad Negro, and to shield them from punishment. For example, the Colored Methodist Ministers' Alliance of Kansas City in their resolutions on the subject, attempted to throw doubt upon the fact that the men who committed the assault upon the white woman were Negroes. The resolutions soften the matter by saying "supposed members of our race," although there is no dispute or question about the fact. "A Negro preacher in his sermon here last Sunday referred to the woman victim of the unspeakable outrage as a "15 cent or an 8 cent or an eight for a dollar woman." That preacher had no warrant on earth for casting reflections upon the woman, and in some communities he would have suffered severely for his slanderous statement. The decent law abiding Negroes, if they wish to attain any standing in the social order, must exert themselves to stamp out the bad Negro, and not apologise for him or condone his crimes in the least.—Kansas City Journal." To the Editor of the Kansas City Journal: We reproduce your editorial headed "The Blame for the Riot". In discussing the riot or the lynching of the three colored men in Springfield, Mo., your article seems to be unfair and to a certain extent creates prejudice instead of quieting it, and building up a healthy public sentiment in favor of law, order and justice to all mankind irrespective of color or previous condition. If those had been white men instead of colored, there would be no reason why you should lay the blame partly on the officers and partly on the white citizens; no more is there reason to charge the blame partly to the officers and partly to the colored citizens in this case. Crime is crime, and it makes no difference who commits it, it is wrong, the party who commits it is at fault and the officers who fail to do their duty in trying to apprehend the parties committing such offenses are to blame. The law abiding and peaceful colored citizens of Springfield or any other community are not responsible for the outrages and crimes committed by low Negroes any more than the respectable class of whites are responsible for the crimes committed by their worthless class. Now with reference to the laxity of the enforcement of law on the worthless element, your article seems to run along a channel which indicates that they are only Negroes who are fined $5.00, $10.00, and $20.00, and who are glad to lay their fines out where they are compelled to sleep and eat in idleness at the city's expense. You seem to point out that it is this class of Negroes that is doing so much harm to the citizens of Springfield. One reading this portion of your editorial would think that there were no white criminals in Springfield who are sleeping and eating at the city's expense for petty offenses. From the looks of the mob and the outrages perpetrated there a few days ago, it seems that a large portion of the white citizens of Springfield had been lying in the city Bastile, eating and sleeping most of their lives. If that indicates disorder and encouragement to thieves and cowards, it seems that your editorial should apply to the whiteauffans who committed the offense. We think this is the "Mecca" for lawless whites instead of Negroes. In reference to the statement that the Negro as a race must surely share the responsibility of crimes committed by the colored people in Springfield and every other city, it is all tommy-rot. It is misleading and does an injustice to the pro gressive colored people everywhere. All good citizens should stand upon a level and see that the law is carried out and properly enforced and that criminals are apprehended whether they be black or white. One good citizen is not superior to another and should be given no more consideration or shown any more favors than any other good citizen, by the law or by those who are supposed to enforce the same. We would like to know where you get your authority or how long you have mingled with the Negro race in social and business circles, to be able to make the assertion that they fail to enforce the high standards of social and moral ethics among the race and thereby allow the criminal element to get the better of the progressive and law abiding clauses. In reference to the colored people wishing to win the respect of the white race, we wish to inform you that if the respect of that class of white people that lynched these men of Springfield, is the standard to which you wish the black people to rise, you may as well stop wishing for we are far superior to them and do not wish respect or anything else from such a class of thugs and hoodlums. Respectibility is due any man who respects himself and the rights of others, whether black, white, gray or red. The progressive colored people only wish to win and hold the respect of that class of progressive white people who believe in law, order and justice. They have nothing therefor to win from that class of whites, as they already have their confidence, and these same whites have the confidence of the progressive Negroes, so neither one has to win any special reputation above the other. Any lawlessness or crime committed in any community has a bad effect upon all good citizens. A thief is a thief, a murderer is a murderer, whether he be black, white or indifferent. The progressive colored people have not the time to hunt up bad Negroes any more than the progressive white people have the time to look up the lawless white criminals, but they all pay taxes and employ officers to look them up and they all build court houses, jails and penal institutions, and have plenty of good men to sit on the jury and convict or release. If the editor of the Journal will adapt himself to writing editorials in the interest of good government and not trying to point out the defects of the good and moral class of colored people about whom he knows absolutely nothing, not associating or mingling with them, and who is therefore not competent to judge what they are doing, he will be employing his time to a letter advantage. It is an injustice to charge every crime that is committed to the bad colored people, and have it go down in history as sanctioned by the whole race. If the editor of the Journal will take notice of all the heinous crimes committed by the whites, and they are numerous as well as continuous, he will have a hard task, and yet we have our first time to hear of one burnt and seldom one lynched. This lynching and burning is due to a certain extent, to the white newspapers, who aid and ahet this class of lawless white men who commit these offenses, as well as give encouragement to the officers who are lax in their duties. The white newspapers are responsible for the majority of the lynching and burning in this country and until they change their attitude toward those who are only accused of committing these offenses, the colored people must get their Winchester, put them in their homes and be prepared for the emergency in all cases as they arise. NUMBER 17. KANSAS LAND IS VALUABLE! Reports of the Experiment station located at Kansas State Agricultural college, Manhattan. These products will grow as fast and yield as much tor a colored man as for a white man, and why do not young colored men in cities put their earnings in in farm land. It makes no difference how small the farm may be, it will make you independent as well as industrious. Irrigation in Western Kansas and Eastern Colorado is making farm land sell high. Now is the time to buy, before the irrigating ditches are completed. Land is cheap; now is the time to buy. VALUE OF CHOPS IRRIGATED. ALFALFA. The popular impression that alfalfa yields from 5 to 8 tons per acre is entirely erroneous, for the usual tonnage does not run above 4 tons. Three tons is a fair average. The hay brings from $4 to $6, making a return of $10 to $24 per acre. Deducting $1.50 per ton for labor, the net return from 1 acre is $7.50 to $18. BEETS. Sugar beets yield on the average, in the Arkansas valley, about 13 tons to the acre. The average tonnage on fields well cared for is much higher, running up to 18 and even 25 tons. The beets raised under windmills are all well tended, and bring $6 per ton to the grower (1 bounty from the state of Kansas), or from $90 to $120 per acre. Deducting $35 per acre for all labor, a profit of $55 to $85 is left, cost of hauling not being considered. Fruit. Apples, plums and cherries do well in the vicinity of Garden City, while peaches, apricots and pears are less in favor, although some very fine peaches were seen in 1904, and several young orchards have been recently put in. Cherries are a sure crop, and in 1904 yielded as high as 200 bushels to the acre, $2 to $3 per bushel. SWEET POTATOES. Sweet potatoes do exceptionally well around Garden City, the average yield being reported at 100 to 300 bushels per acre. The price varies from $1.50 per bushel early in the season to as low as 50 later in the season. The average is given as $1. The cost of the plants and the labor of setting them out is $20 to $30, making the net return from one acre about $150 to $200. One four acre piece in sweet potatoes was seen that was being worked on shares, the owner to farmish the land, water, seed and half the cost of planting, and to receive half the crop and half of any surplus plants started in the hotbed. His investment was as follows Returns from one crop were. Half of 50,000 plants, at $2 per 1000, $50, half of 800 bushels of potatoes at 75 cents per bushel $300 total, $250, ONIONS The yield per acre of onions was given as from 500 to 1000 bushels, which sell at 2 to 3 cents per pound, returning the generous sum of $500 to $1500 per acre. Others give the return as from $300 to $500 per acre. BRIEFES A patch of raspberries measuring one fourth acre yielded $78, or at the rate of $112 per acre. The value of an acre of cabbage is given as $200 OTHER GARDEN CROPS. The return from mixed garden crops is variously estimated at from $200 to $500 per acre. A measured one-third acre in asparagus, onions and rhubarb produced in one season on $190 or at the rate of $570 per acre. The value of various crops raised by windmill irrigation near Garden City may be summarized as follows. Alfalfa from $1.10 Alfalfa wool 17.50 Sugarcane 94.10 Sweet lofts 100.00 Onions 60.50 Cabbage 100.50 Garden tops generally 200.00 LINCOLN INSTITUTE. The lecture given in the auditorium on the 19th inst. by the Professor Patty on "The Wonders of Radium, Liquid Air and Wireless Telegraphy," was well attended by faculty and students, and was replete with information through word and experiment. In every respect it was an evening long to be remembered in the lecture course which President Allen has selected with so much care. The Globe-Democrat of Sunday, April 26th contains this excellent tribute to Lincoln Institute within a very interesting article by Walter Williams of the State University the statement quoted having been made primarily by Professor G. V. Huchanan of Sedalia. "Missouri has looked well to the educational opportunities of the children of the colored people, and has provided in Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City, one of the best schools in the country for the preparation of colored teachers." Professor Beasley, principal of Columbia Normal Academy, made his annual visit to Jefferson City on Saturday last with a hundred or so of his students and telegraphed President Allen that the party would come directly from the train to the institute. Accordingly about a m. teachers and students were in evidence, receiving from President Allen a hearty welcome. They carefully inspected the work of the literary and industrial departments the domestic and dormitory appointments, commenting freely upon the excellence of the work. In addition to several other engagements, President Allen has accepted invitations from the management of the Kansas City, Kansas high school to address the graduating class. ATCHISON, KANS. The E.

Hicks explained the Easter decoration at the A. M. E. church, with its m. u. y. colors, as he saw it: Worthy pastor, honored superintendent, officers of the Sabbath School, visiting ladies and gentlemen: Easter brings the thought of a great awakeing. The winter has passed, in which the cold and bitter frost had chilled and destroyed all vegetation, causing a dreary and lifeless appearance on every hand. But the return of Easter heralds the spring of the year, the full advent of new life, reviving and arousing all slumbering and dormant life. The tender blades of grass put forth, the trees bad, while the air is filled with the chirp and songs of birds. Among men activity in many of the walks of life had been suspended and implements of industry laid by; but the voices of Easter call out the farmers to the fields, the tools of the mechanic are heard ringing, while the home is stirred by the bustling housewife. Easter represents the resurrection of Christ; the different colors of the decorations represent the colors of his garments. The white represents peace and purity. This decoration is shown represents blood; it represents Jacob's ladder; it represents the winding stairs; it represents the door by which man must come to the Savior. It represents the eye of the needle it was impossible for the amel to pass through without faith. It represents the star decked heavens that God has prepared for the finally faithful and the star that the wise men saw, and the wonderful light-house that sits so far off, beckoning, "Come this this way." In this decoration is revealed the hidden mist that is between men and angels. These different colors should I have been thrasy illustrated in their beautiful form and what they were intended to convey to man. It is a beautiful design, the best I ever saw. May God bless the hands that formed the work, and picture to them and others the good that the work may do in the future. WEIR CITY, KAS. Old Bro.
