TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. We Hope Mr. Dayhoff is Misquoted on the School Question. We Will Pay Respects Next Week. THE Historical Society State Normal VOLUME I membership since the conference and paid off 50 per cent. of an old standing mortgage of $300. He gave us a good audience that was anxious to hear about our school. There are very few of our people in Nevada, but most of them own their own homes. Rev. Green enjoys the utmost confidence of both races, and is doing well. Sunday, July 22nd, we spent with Rev. M. Wooton and his people at Ft. Scott, preaching both morning and night, and placing the advantages of Western University before the citizens generally at the M. E. quarterly meeting at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Rev. M. Wooton and his wife seem to have a good hold on our young people here, as well as the old, all of whom seem to hold them in the highest esteem Their choir rendered good service. The Reverend and his wife know how to make it pleasant for a minister. We will, from all reports, have several students from Ft. Scott. Our people are not in business as in some places, but we have here two physicians that stand very high. At 6 o'clock Monday morning Bro. Wooton hooked up "Pet" and in a few minutes had us at the station. A ride of about an hour and a half brought us to Parsous, a very thrifty town of several thousand inhabitants. Rev. J. F. Sage is our pastor at this place. As we arrived Rev. J. R. Ransom, P. E. of the district, and Mr. Fisher, of Topeka, were preparing to leave. A good deal of property is owned by our people and we have one grocery store. The drug store recently established by Mr. Morris is a model of neatness. His beautiful furniture, fine mirrors and ever ready soda fountain should make a very strong appeal for the patronage of our people. His pharmacist is a graduate of Lawrence. At night we spoke to the people about W. U. and its advantages. We will have some students, from Parsons. The pastor, Rev. J. F. Sage, is preparing for a big celebration on July 27. Tuesday, 24th, we made Pittsburgh. It is a thriving city of some 15,000 inhabitants. The only business found among us here, we understand, is restaurant and barber shop. Our people are miners. Rev. W. II. H. Jonce, our pastor here, and Rev. Britt, of the Baptist church, "took us around" and introduced us so several business men. The editor of the Daily Headlight seems to be a man who has much interest in our people. At night we addressed a good audience at Weir City. Rev. J. W. Warren had not received the notice of our coming, but managed to have his people out in surprising number, notwithstanding the evangelistic services held at the Baptist church by Bro. Washington, the boy preacher. Rev. Warren is a young man of quiet demeanor, who moves about among his people with painstaking and care. A. bright future is before him. His theological course was taken at Paul Quinn College, Waco, Texas. Thus far the outlook for students to the Western University is very bright. In every city and town almost, from one to a half dozen will enter this fall. The ministers in almost every charge are getting ready for big endowment offerings for the school. This is our first visit among the Kansas misisterial brethren, and thus far they have proven them, selves to be earnest Christian men, who are willing to accord the proper courtesy and treatment to a-trange brother minister who may be on legitimate business in their respective communities. We close this here, at Joplin, Mo, and our next will be sent in from some point in the Ind. Ter. CAUGET ON THE WING. Edward R. Vaughan, of the Western University Tells of the Work Among the Churches. EDITOR PLAINDEALER:I thought to cull a few facts and figures for the benefit of the many PLAINDEALER readers, in my perambulations for Western University, through Kansas, Missouri and the Territory. July 18th, we left loved ones at home and began our University extension work. Paola was our first objective point. Rev. J. J. Pleasant is our popular pastor there. At night we met his people and spoke on the subject of education to them. We also went into the homes of a large number of his people in the interest of our scheme. Several new matriculates will be the result of our visit here. Through the courtesy of the pastor we met some of the leading business men of the place, among whom we mention especially, editors of the two county papers, Merers W. D. Greason, of the Republican, and B. J. Sheridan, of the Western Spirit. Those two gentlemen seemed to be glad to discusas educational and racial matters with us, and also otherwise rendered the University material aid. Rev. Palmer and his amiable wife certainly know how to make it pleasant for a visitor. Most of our people in Paola own their own homes, though, unfortunately, very few live in the country, where, in that fine agricultural belt, fortunes await them if they would but cultivate the soil. On the outskirts of the town Mr. Herrington has a few acres, upon which are several oil and gas wells, and we understand vast quantities have been taken out. July 19th, at one o'clock, we boarded the train for Garnett. An hour's ride brought us to the home of Rev. H. D. Harris, a quiet and model Christian minister. Many of our people are leaving Garnett on account of so little work for them. Bro. Harris lutroduced us to several business men of his place, and Western University will be helped on account of what they shall say for us. Miss Gertrude Crutchfield, one of our old graduates who lives here, has been employed in a ladies' tailoring establishment in Des Moines, Iowa, for nearly a year, where she was the only colored person ever employed. Only her superior ability kept her there. We found in Iola, Rev. L. C. Newby, a young man intensely active and energetic. He has things well in hand here; has some money in bank and will soon begin a new church building. He is enthusiastic about W. U., and thinks as many others, that another first class building on the church side should go up at once. He thinks every minister of the connection, from St. Louis to San Francisco, should pledge himself for twenty five dollars toward the new building. What say the men? Bro. Grant has certainly attired up interest along educational lines. Iola has a population of twelve thousand. Of these, about fifteen hundred are colored. They find employment in the immense cement plant and brick yard, we understand, and most of them own their own homes or are buying them. We met Dr. Bass, who has a good home here. He enjoys the confidence of the people and has a good practice as a physician and also pastors one of our churches. At Nevada is Rev. Henry Green, a sturdy, careful and painstaking man. He has about doubled his TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, 3, AUG. 1906. EDW. B. VACGHAN. K. OF P. GRAND SESSION HELD IN KANSAS CITY. The Thirteenth annual session of Sunflower Grand Lodge, K. of P. held at Kansas City last week was the greatest in its history. Grand Chancellor John E. Lewis called the Grand Lodge to order shortly after ten o'clock Tuesday morning, July 24th, at M. and O. hall on North Eighth street. Welcome address on behalf of the citizens by Judge I. F. Bradley and by Rev. Harvey on behalf of the churches. Responses by Hon. Jas. H. Guy and Rev. S. W. Batchelor. Several committees were appointed and made encouraging reports showing great gains in finance and membership. The greatest of surprises was the visit of the Supreme Grand officers, and that of Booker T. Washington and Bishop A. Grant. Supreme Grand Chancellor, S. W. Starks, is a man of starling integrity, true and faithful to the order. He is making history for the race through the order. He said there are over 90,000 members in the United States, who are progressive all lines of industry. The only mistakes so many have made was in starting at the top instead of at the bottom. They have over $22,000 in bank for a Pythian temple. This money is raised by per capita tax. This building will cost over one hundred thousand dollars. The money is drawing 4 per cent interest in a West Virginia bank which has given security in case of failure. No money can be drawn unless the surety company signs with the officers. The money is absolutely safe. Supreme Vice Chancellor, S. W. Greene of Louisiana, who is also Supreme Worthy Counsellor, told what the Knights were doing in his state. They have purchased a site for a building at a cost of $15,000. They have over $35,000 in banks and several thousand Knights to draw upon. Major General Jackson of Chicago, one of the great military men of the lodge, said his mission was to teach men how to fight. West Point is against us; it is impossible for a Negro to enter therein. So the Knights are teaching the boys how to fight by drilling them in time of peace. He invited those present to visit the camp, inspect the tents, the lay of the camp, and "if General Miles can beat it, my motto is, You beat it and take it." He said that there are over 15,000 Uniformed Knights in the United States who are fighters. C. K. Robinson, Supreme K. of R. and S., thanked the Sir Knights for coatesies shown him, and said he was glad to see the Kansas Knights growing so perfectly. Adjt. General James Jones, controls the only regalia house in this country operated by colored people, and is giving employment to young people of the race. A vote of thanks was tendered the Supreme officers for their first visit to the grand lodge of Kansas, which was gratifying to the members of the jurisdiction and will do them good. A delegation on fraternal greetings from Kansas, headed by J. H. Guy, was received by the Grand Lodge of Missouri. Mr. Guy expressed the kind feeling existing between the two Grand bodies, and complimented the Grand Chancellor and members on the rapld progress they had made Fifteen minutes were given to shake hands and make the Sunflower boys feel at home. Fraternal greetings from the Grand Lodge of Missouri were presented by a delegation headed by Dr. W. C. Curtis of St. Louis, who, in a few well-chosen remarks, expressed the hope that the friendly feelings that existed might continue, and extended an invitation to visit their sessions. Prof. Booker T. Washington and Bishop A. Grant addressed the Grand Court of Calanthe and the Grand Lodge in open joint session Thursday morning. Prof. Washington gave wholesome instructions, which if followed will be of great benefit. He said that he was not a member of the order, but knew of the good its members are doing over the country. He believes in opposition, as it makes the other fellow do something. The race should not sit idle and complain of the other fellow. Bishop Grant followed in one of his soul-stirring and manly talks, which almost raised the roof. He cited his hearers to the time when he was a boy in Mississippi and Louisiana during the high water when it swept old dead carcasses and filth of all kinds before it; and said that the tidal wave is now on which is sweeping the carcasses of hatred and prejudice down the stream of time. He said that none but good people should be admitted to the order if success is desired. The bishop is getting younger in his older days, and seems to be just reaching his zenith. On Wednesday afternoon over 150 Knights, with the Uniform Ranks from Kansas City and Weir City, and headed by the Kansas City Cornet band, paraded the principal streets of the city before taking the cars to Lark's Grove, where picnic was held. The following officers were elected Thursday and installed Thursday night: J. E. Lewis, G. C; J. B Davis, G. V, C.; E. S. Leo, G. M. E.; J. W. Anthony, G. K. of R. and S; W. A. Wright, G. M. A.; J. E. Hobson, G. I. G, F. Martin, G. O. G.; J. S. King, G. L.; S. H. Thompson, G. M. D.; J. H. Guy, G. Att'y; A. T. Glover, G. S. E. B; S. W. Fleming, G. T. E. B; B. Pope, P. G. C.; Doc McWilliams, G. Rep. Walter Evans was assistant G. K. of R. and S. during the session. John E. Lewis was re-elected for the eighth time. He is doing wonderful work towards building up the order, and the Grand Lodge has given him a greater impetus to work by voting that each lodge giving him one dollar per month. Over $1,000 is in the Endowment fund, which is carefully guarded by Sir Bert Glover and Sir Fleming of Wichita, Southern Kansas is in the lead. Weir City, Cherokee, Pittsburgh, and several other towns made good reports. Everything was harmonious and pleasant. A vote of thanks was tendered the good people of Kansas City who so royally entertained the visitors. Serval receptions were given in honor of the visitors. The Grand Court of Calanthe reelected Mrs. M. E. Matley for the fourth time as Grand Worthy Counsellor. She deserves this repeated honor, for she has done much good for the order. This session was the best in the history of the order. The Knights of Pythias of Missouri held their Twenty-second annual Grand session at Kansas City, Mo. last week, the greatest in the history of the order. The reports showed great gains, both in membership and finance. This session was composed of some of the brainiest and most substantial men of the race. The Supreme officers visited the Grand Lodge three days and were royally entertained by the K, P.'s and citi- zens, who were proud of their presence. One of the grandest sights one would wish to see was the encampment of the Uniform Rank at the park on Fifty-first street. The camp was beautifully laid out, and no regular military camp in Uncle Sam's command could surpass it. There were six Uniform Rank and Battle Ax corps of young boys who were cadets officered by boys except the commanding officers. The discipline was first-class, their drilling could not be excelled, their manners and deportment while in line of duty and while mixing with the public were the very best. Two much can not be said in praise of the K. P.'s of Missouri for taking up the boys, for in them we see great hope for the race. At 5:30 the call was sounded for dress parade. A beautiful spot just east of the camp was put in excellent shape for a parade ground. The formation and handling of the regiment by the adjutant, who looked like a West Pointer, was perfect. The K. P. Regimental band, head quarters at St. Louis was at its proper place, and we are compelled to say that this band is one of the finest in the country. Rt. Rev. Bishop A. Grant and Prof. Booker T. Washington were present and reviewed the gallant Knights, while they stood at "present swords," after which the Knights passed in review of the distinguished guests. About 2500 people witnessed this beautiful spectacle of knighthood. (We are sorry that the officers names are omitted from this article, but owing to being disappointed by one who was to secure them, we are not able to give them in this issue.) St. Louis is the banner city of K. P.'s in the United States. We are proud of the great effort that has been made by the Knights of St. Louis to bring their city to the front ranks of the order, which required time, patience and money. The parade on a few of the principal streets Thursday by the Uniform Ranks, Grand Lodge officers and subo dinates, mounted, on foot and in carriages, was an imposing sight. Headed by the K. P. Regimental band, a thousand gallant Knights, all decked in military attire, with dashing steeds and swords glaring against the noonday sun, tread steadily and as dignified as the Knights of old. The following officers were elected for the ensuing term; G. C, A. W. Lloyd, St. Louis; P. G. C, J. P. Maynard, Kansas City; G. V. C., Rev. The Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias and the Court of Calanthe of the state of Kansas held a most successful and interesting session in Kansas City, Kansas July 24-26. A large delegation was in attendance from the different subordinate courts of the state, and they were hospitably entertained by the three lodges of Kansas City. The Grand Court O of C. was called to order in conjunction with the Grand Lodge Tuesday morning at M. and O. hall. After listening to the addresses of welcome and responses, the Knights and Ladies repaired to separate halls and convened for business. On Tuesday evening a reception was held for the delegates; refreshments were served and a short program was rendered. The following day the Grand Court received a visit from several of the Supreme Lodge officers, who were special guests of the Missouri Grand Lodge which was in session in Kansas City, Mo. at the same time. The guests were: S. W. Stark of Wheeling, W. Va., Supreme Chan; J. Jackson, Chicago, Major General of Uniform Rank; S. W. Green, New Orleans, Supreme W. C., and Mrs. Green; C. K. Robinson, St. Louis, Supreme K. of R. and S. Each gentleman made an address to the Grand Court. Wednesday afternoon the court took a recess, and the ladies enjoyed themselves at a picnic in Lark's Grove. NUMBER 31. Booker Washington At Cawker City. Booker Washington At Cawker City. The Great Negro Educator Speaks at the Lincoln Park Chautauqua Lincoln Park, Cawker City, Kas July 30.—The eighth annual assembly of the Lincoln Park Chautauqua opened in this beautiful park Saturday evening with an entertainment by Rosani, the "manipulator" and although this was only the opening number, fully I,560 people greeted his appearance. Never before in the history of the park have such numbers of tenters arrived so early as they have done this year, and this in spite of the fact that the session has been lengthened to 10 days. Forty families were here on Friday night, and last night the record showed in the neighborhood of 700 season tickets sold to adults; about 250 tents are up, and the prospects are that next week will see a large increase in the number. The management is striving hard to accommodate all, and has had to order an extra amount of supplies. Yesterday was "Booker Washington day", and excursions were run from the west on both the north and south branches of the Central Branch, and from the east on the main line. Conservative estimates place the number of people in the path yesterday at 8,000, and it was an entirely satisfied and orderly crowd, too. The noted Negro educator made his appearance on the platform at 2:30 in the afternoon, and faced an audience which was an eloquent testimonial to the drawing power of his name, and the interest people take in his work. The big pavilion in which he spoke will accommodate 3,500 people, and every inch of space was occupied, while around the edges of the big tent at least a thousand people stood, while hundreds of others, unable to secure either seats or standing room, came and then turned away to seek some shady spot and rest. From his opening words, Dr. Washington held his audience without a break; and demonstrated his ability as an orator to the entire satisfaction of his auditors. Beginning with a brief narrative of his life, he told of his first work in establishing the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial institute in an old cabin, with a hen house as an annex, at a time when his total available capital was a strong determination to succeed and $11 in cash realized from pawning his watch. Of his successful effort to make brick "without straw, and that still more essential article, money", he told in a humorous manner, but underneath the gaiety ran a strong current of sentiment, and at the conclusion of the anecdote he rose to heights almost sublime as he said: "My success then proved to me that it was possible to realize my dream for the elevation of the black man." Rapidly sketching the work of the institution which he established in Alabama, he arrived at the body of his lecture, and took up the "race problem". His solution of the problem was a simple one, embraced in the word, "Education". But this education should be industrial, academic, moral and religious, with the emphasis laid on "industrial." To teach the black man that only by making his labor noble and beautiful, Booker T. Washington hopes to solve that vexing problem, the race question. By teaching him that only by acquiring a title to the soil, by building up a bank account, by educating himself academically, by learning to do something better than somebody else does the same Lots of fun at Wilson's Summer Garden. Don't forget the date. Everybody is going to Gartil Park on Wednesday, August 1st. Tuesday evening for dancing and other amusements at Wilson's Park.

FLFTCHER The American Collection Agency --- THINGS ACCOMPLISHED Governor Hoch Gives an Account of His Stewardship. Minutes no Words in Discussing Issues and Frankly Informs the People Where he Stands. Topeka, July 21.—Gov Hoch has issued the following statement showing what has been accomplished under his administration and outlining his position on the questions up for solution by the people of Kansas at the coming election. To the people of Kansas: In a republic like ours where sovereignty resides with the people and officers are more public servants parties are necessary. He is a superficial thinker who lays or belittles their importance. Believers in the principles, therefore represented by a party should cherish the organization as essential to the success of those principles, and he is not wise, who for light or frivolous reasons weakens his party organization. Nor should any one be deceived by the specious plea for independence made by representatives of the minority party, but the voter should ask himself if this pli would be made by these persons if their party were in the majority. Parties should be held to strict accountability for their stewardship, but when they have been true to the people and have fulfilled their promises it is certainly only reasonable to ask that their adherents should not desert them for antidictory reasons, not should there be any "off years" in politics. As government is a continuous institution, the sources of government in this country, political parties, should also be continuous. The republican party of Kansas appears to the people for continued support not like its opponent, upon grounds of petty citizenship and extravagant promises, but upon its record unlike its opponent it asks the people not to force it alone by its words but by its work as well so widely has it managed the affairs of the state from the birth of the commission to the present time that its opponents in their last convention asked not for the repeal of a sin law in its enactment nor in the amendment or any of these laws, but that could be for government in an industry evidently carefully prepared said that we have law enough. A hardens a statute to republican supremacy was never paid to the party than this. At the threshold of the campaign of 1901 and as a basis for an appl for continued confidence and support it seems proper to make a brief resume of the work accomplished since the last election and to tender to the people an recording of the party's stewardship. Believing that party promises are as sacred as business contracts the republican party. In 1901 made numerous promises supplemented by many additional recommendations by the governor in his annual message and with exceedingly few exceptions these promises and recommendations were crystallized into law. Among these promises and recommendations were, First. The establishment of public depositories, the fulfillment of which promise is yielding the state more than $1,000 per month, and yielding the counties vastly more than thus Second. The promise to reduce the number of useless legislative employees, which saved the stat notley $50,000. Third. The reapportionment of the state into eight congressional districts Fourth. The protection of the oil and gas interests redeemed in the enactment of numerous laws in their protection, which laws have made possible the establishment of indendent refineries, ten of which are now in operation, and without which none would have existence to-day, promising with the aid of surrounding states emulating our extensive example finally to supply our oil problem Fifth. The establishment of a stupefishing plant which has resulted in the creation of a handsome threestory brick building, the cost of which, including the machinery and fixtures, will be invested in three years. Sixth The enactment of the most advanced railroad law known to the states, far in advance of the law passed by the late congress. In addition there were enacted 12 other bills regulating the various relations of the railroads with their employees, passengers and shipers "constituting altogether the most complete body of railroad legislation ever enacted at a single session by the legislators of any state," as our platform this year declares, and in the language of this platform, "We pledge ourselves to such amendment and additions to these laws as experience shall justify and demand." Seventh The establishment of a juvenile court law which will give thousands of children from prison stain and from criminal careers Eighth. A civil service law which is being conscientiously carried out and which is putting our state institutions upon an absolutely sound basis, where employees are no longer subjected to compulsory campaign contributions or to emolal for political causes, the only test now being good service to the state. ; Ninth The establishment of a school fund law which will render the unfortunate complication of the past impossible and lift the management of those sacred funds into a realm absolutely above suspicion of graft and fraud. Tenth. A change in the live stock sanitary system which has already saved the entire cost of this department while increasing the efficiency. Eleventh. An anti-discrimination law which has saved vast sums of money to the people, particularly in the price of coal oil. Twelfth. The maximum freight law on which has made a market for crude oil for fuel purposes in remotest parts of the state and is resulting in great saving and convenience to manufacturers. Thirteenth. The law regulating the working hours of railroad men, which was not only an act of justice to these deserving people, but was also a wise precaution to prevent railroad accidents which have often been the result of overwork on the part of these faithful employees. Fourteenth Several laws for the special benefit of farmers and grain growers, including the warehouse and elevator law, a reciprocal demurrago law a law requiring construction of switches to independent elevators and warehouses, a law to give shippers return passes, a law requiring the grain inspector to furnish weights to shippers, and a law to prohibit grain dealers from deducting 100 pounds to the car. Some of these laws have been attacked in the courts but the administration is defending them out of its contingent fund and hopes to see them sustained. Among the laws attacked is the grain inspection law. The board of trade of Kansas City is trying to knock it out, but the administration is doing everything possible to save that law to the farmers. Fifteenth A law to further protect coal miners, of whom there is an increasing number and whose lives and interests have been frequent subjects for republican protective legislation and an administrative concern. Sixteenth A law prohibiting the employment of children in petting houses and mines where their health and lives are endangered, a ban on cement demanded by organized labor. Seventeenth A large part of the governor's message was devoted to the importance of a better system of management over our cities and the institutions in which it was of that time in man's life of the elected to man these be that they should vote all one to the public service in town, such time as they chose as one under the old law that they should open public offices in the state where the condition of all institutes, under their charge, did be easily ascertained at by time by any one, and where the cost of any article, necessa- their existence, would be a of sy acces to any one into The great reform was accomplished the legislature, and it alone was sufficient to make the last legislature a no-less one. The new system together with the new civil service law is bifaceted these last, tions up to the highest possible st. of efficiency at the least possible cost. The financial saving which was not a primary consideration is how not a cost gratifying. In addition to these enactments in other laws were placed upon the statute book worthy of extensive attention to which I can only allude Vl; a new tol law; a fish and game law which is going to give the state one of the finest fisheries in the United States and annually stock its streams with an abundance of fish; a voluminous and valuable law concerning negotiable instruments, a good roads law; a law creating a state accountant, which is of inestimable value, a law toxing pipe lines, a pathetic enactment to prevent desecration of the flag; a law to publish reports of the G A. R at state expense, and many other worthy enactments too numerous to mention." The people should remember that the senate, which gave its approval to these laws, holds over and that the members of the last house which helped to meet these laws, will be returned to the next house in larger numbers than ever before in the history of the state and that the present administration which favored all these laws, if continued in power, will continue to give them the greatest possible efficiency in enforcement and that from these three sources judging by the past the people give every reason to expect a continuation of the progressive policy which has marked the past two years. The present administration has been compounded by many perplexing problems, perhaps more than any of its predecessors, but it relies with confidence upon the candid consideration of the public as to whether or not these problems have been properly met and wisely solved. Among these problems was the investigation of the state treasury. The party promised this investigation and the legislative made ample appropriation for it. It was delicate and difficult duty devolved upon the administration. To assist him in its work the governor selected an advisory board, consisting of three youthmen of the highest character and ability, v.2, Judge A W Hinson, now United States senator. Judge A Nelson R Clark and Hon Samuel T Howe. The governor in connection with these gentlemen selected a film of a cantants having a national reputation. Every step of the investigation was carefully directed and protected. The final submission of the accountants' report was summarized and given to the public, and the whole matter was then turned over to the attorney general for a final decision upon its merits in the courts. No step in this investigation can be justly criticized. The state has ample compensation for the cost of the investigation in the reforms in bookkeeping and systems of business management which will follow the revelations of this investigation. It should not be forgotten that this thorough investigation cleared up affairs to date of report so that the state accountant has a clear record of recent date upon which to base future examinations. This makes it of peculiar value. Another problem problem has been the enforcement of the prohibitory law. The conflation imposes upon the governor the duty of seeing that the laws are enforced, but the constitution which imposes duties supplies no power for their performance. The legislature alone clothes the executive with power to enforce the law. The governor can only enforce law with law or by legal processes. These are not of his making but of legislature making. The primary duty of enforcing law is upon the local authorities in this state and but little executive authority is given to the governor to enforce law in the several communities. The present governor has written a letter to every county attorney and to every sheriff in the state urging him to enforce the law. To many of these he has written numerous letters and conditions upon the whole are greatly improved throughout the state. In 80 old counties this law is as well enforced as almost any other law on the statute books. In the remaining 20 counties conditions vary. Eight assistant attorneys general have been appointed in as many counties with varying success. In Topka a vigorous effort was made under the leadership of one of the oldest lawyers and best men in Kansas, a form of out of the State Temperance Union, but owing to local adverse conditions the effort was practically a failure, except that it aroused public sentiment and it is believed will ultimately result in the cleaning up of the city. The governor has expended nearly all of his available contour fund in an honest effort to enforce this law in more and this limited fund not to outlast other purposes. He fund upon which the law to fight the law. He has not undertaken any will not unlawful to do malicious, dishable and hurt things to win the applause of the people on to comply with the law. Knowledge Companion between the results of law enforcement efforts in this state, and on sister state Missouri have been very unfair Sunday law are not objection to nearly so many people as are prohibitory laws. A prohibitory law which affords every day in the week more than seven times as difficult to enforce than a Sunday law, for objection reasons, and yet makes the two states at large believe, without reflection on a sister state, that the prohibitory law is relatively better enforced in Kansas than the Sunday law is enforced in Missouri. The content for the supremacy of law in Kansas City, Kansas has assumed almost no moral importance. The attempt to make capital out of the fact that the ousted mayor was a democratic tell when it was ascertained that the ousted county attorney, was a republican. The recent success of the assistant attorney general, Mr. Trickett, is gratifying to every law abiding citizen of the state. The people of Kansas may rest assured that no backward step will be taken, but neither will forward steps be taken in the future without the same consideration that has been given to them in the p. t. While on this subject I desire to congratulate the democratic party, which has spent a quarter of a century antagonizing the law, upon its alleged conversion to sound governmental principles, viz. that law should be enforced, though the gratesque spectacle of the officials solemnly assisting in the preparation and adoption of a state platform for law enforcement, who are winking at the violation of law in their several communities, amuses a suspicion as to their party's sincity. An attempt is being made to make an issue out of the fact that the state has permitted the use of its name through its governor and attorney general (and I assume the full responsibility for this act.) to the Missouri, Kansas & Texas Railway company to test its right to a certain land grant in the Indian territory. I have herefore given a lengthy explanation of this matter and will only summarize it here. The state of Kansas was made trustee by congress for the railway company that should construct this road, and the legislature officially accepted the trust. The land grant was based upon certain conditions, viz., the extinction of its tribal possession and its merging into government domain. My opponent has devoted a great deal of time to the discussion of the question whether these conditions have ever materialized insisting that they have not and that that toro the M K & T Ivy Co. has no one worthy of consideration. This contention of Col Hardy may or may not be correct. I have taken no position as to the merits of the controversy and the attempt of my opponent to place me in the position of having taken sides in the controversy unless a surprising lack of logic or what I am still more reluctant to believe, an astonishing degree of unfairness. The merits of the katty' (case are not legitimately) in controversy so far as Kansas and its trusteeship as concerned Having officially assumed the office of trustee but one honorable course remained for the state to pursue and that was to perform the duties of the trust thus officially assumed. The question as to the merits of the case is a question for the courts and not for the governor or any candidate for governor to decide. But there are other plain propositions in this matter which seem to hint of no argument, viz; a railroad company, like every one else, even like a tramp or a criminal, entitled to a day in court. To deny this is to disown government. My opponent admits it, but says the day in court should have been obtained in the lower courts. This is a fatal admission. Had the company been compelled to bring guilt against individual alliances and owners in the lower courts these individuals would have been compelled to hire expensive lawyers and contest the case through the lower courts and on up through the supreme court, where it now is, at individual expense. Was it not better to relieve them of this burden and throw the burden of defense upon the government itself, where it properly belongs? This insures the employment of the most eminent counsel at governmental instud of individual expense. Again, no one in Kansas is interceded in this suit except those who wish to make political capital out of it, and no one in the Indian territory can be harmed because the government must stand between them and danger, and surely the government can not object to its congressional enactments being reviewed by its own supreme court. Nor can any politic American citizen reasonably object to this procedure. If Col Harris and his party associates can not trust the supreme court of the United States to pass judgment upon this case and do exist justice to all parties and protect all legitimate interests, they should frankly say so. So far as I am concerned I have explicit confidence in the abilities and integrity of the highest judicial tribunal in this country and am not afraid to trust this or any other great question to this tribunal for final solution. The decision on this case is the best possible thing that can happen to the Indian territory because it will forever be the question of title and remove the clad which must forever hang or it as long as the railroad company insists that it have claim. Only politicians and political whom upon those who know the facts in their case object to this salt. A discussion of it must come an insult to intelllement. There is not a phase of it that I cannot just criticize. My opinion of Col Harris denies any assaint that the land grant had its inspiration in patriotic purpose and grew out of the near idea of the government duty: the Civil war I have not contended as Col Harris intimates of alleges that this was an act of patriotism on the part of the rallion company, but I all timed and reaffirmed that it had its inspiration in patriotic impulses and necessary on the part of the government. It is a fortunate for Col Harris that he has taken the position he has in this matter. The facts are that on March 1, 1801 while the country was rent with civil war while neighboring states like Arkansas and Texas, largely added by Missouri and the war like tributes of Indians in the Indian territory, were trying to destroy this Union, and while Maximilian was setting up an empire upon our southern border in Mexico, this government under the stress of necessity for the transportation of troops and munitions of war for the protection of its interests in general and for the protection of loyal Kan is in particular, passed an act for the grant of lands, making the State of Kansas trustee, for the construction of a road, one branch of which was to start from Emmapland and run down the Noshaw valley to a point where a railroad, also added by sand excavated from the City of Leavenworth to the south in line of the state in the direction of Dalveston Bay in Texas. This branch of railroad covered part of the route covered by the later land grant now known as that of the M.K. & T.R. Co., involved in this controversy. It was specifically embodied in this original grant of 1801, reaffirmed in the later grant of 1806, now in controversy, that this company for which these lands were granted shall keep its road in repair and use and shall at all times transport troops, munitions of war supplies and public stores, upon its road for the government, free from all cost on charge therefor to the government, when required to do so by any department thereof. And it is a fact that the M K & T lty Co still transports troops and manitions of war over its lines in Kansas free of charge to the government and it does so solely on account of the conditions of this bond grant. And the same rule will apply in the land in territory if any lands are ever required there as applied in Kansas when the lands here were acquired. Whether other vital conditions of the grant have been met or not is not or any governor or candidate for governor to decide, but, as I have included all along, it is wholly and solely a question for the courts to decide. But certainly, in view of the facts of war history, it is a matter of carefully harmful propriety for those who as sited in making these land grant necessary to question their patriotic initiative, and to criticise the official 'fulfillment of a trusteeship voluntarily' assumed by a patriotic Kansas legislator. Col Harris is a well meaning man, but in a sense to this whole question, he 'identify even imposed upon by unwise if not unsuspicious advisers. Some new questions press for solution. I have favored a direct primary The colored ladies of Kansas City, Kansas, have organized a military and hair dressing establishment at the M. and O hall corner Eighth and Washington avenue. Rev. O.

Friday, July 27th was the biggest day of the Chautauqua assembly, some 3,000 people attending the afternoon session, when Booker T. Washington spoke. The audience was composed of both white and colored people and in the address by the founder of Luskegee there was much that was beneficial for both races. The address was along the line of the race question. He found the solution for it in teaching the negro to become a useful citizen. Dr. Washington spoke of some solutions suggested for the problem and showed the weak points in them. "You can not settle the racial problem by the mere passing of laws," he said. He spoke of the final absorption by the whites, which is believed by some to be the final solution, and then said: "It takes 100 per cent of good Anglo Saxon blood to make a white man, but if a man has 1 per cent of African blood in his veins, he talks to our level every time." The theory that the race would die out was met by the fact that there are now about 10,000,000 migrants in this county. He said many other good things too lengthy to mention here. Over 800 single admission tickets were sold for the afternoon. The committee said more money was taken in Friday afternoon than during the whole week of the assembly. This shows the negro should make the greatest effort of his life to become a useful citizen. The Midland Jubilee Singers made a good reputation while in our city. The Chautauqua assembly has already said they want them again next year.

Ota pm, 1619 Cottage St. Kaneas City, Mo. , — J HILL CITY, KANS. Mr. Turner, one of Kansas city's successful and popular instructors, is visiting Miss Perle Jones, the daughter of Attorney G. W. Jones. Hill City feels honored at having as visitors two such active and energetic young men as lawyer Jennings of Kansas City, and Prof. P. K. Brown, principal of the Argentine schools Prof. Brown, assisted by young men of the city, rendered an excellent program Sunday evening, at the A. M. E. church, to an appreciative congregation. The following were the numbers rendered: 1. Singing by the youngmen's choir. 2. Lawyer Jennings read an excellent paper on the Bible. 3. Solo, by Prof. Brown, which was very good. 4. An excellently rendered sermon, especially prepared for the young men by Rev. Joseph Wilson, a very promising young minister of Nicodemus, of whom we are very proud. The sermon was on the Life of Joseph, taken as a model for the successful young man. All who heard this sermon certainly must have been inspired with new determination and higher ideals. The program was closed with the sweet song, "O, Where is my Wandering Boy Tonight," sung in an excellent tenor voice by Mr. George Jonce. A grand reception was given on Monday evening, July 10th, at the beautiful home of Attorney G. W. Jozes, in honor of the visiting friends in the city: Miss Bessie Turner of Kansas City, Prof. P. K. Brown of Kansas City, and also Miss Mo'lie Aldridge of Junction City, representing the Division xn. The evening was very pleas- anly spent with games, music, etc. At 11 o'clock a dainty luncheon was served. Miss Jones gave a very cordial welcome address to her distinguished guests, which was re-sponded to by Miss Bessie Turner. Toasts were given, Mr. Brown as toastmaster. After spending a very delightful evening the guests departed. This city is being thoroughly solicited by the new agent, Miss Mollis Aldridge, who expects to leave here with the largest report ever carried from this city. She is meeting with great success and thanks the people kindly who met promptly their payments. MEMPHIS, TENN. Mas. C. Robinson will leave for Jackson, Tenn., visiting relatives and friends.

Grand Lodge Continued from page one On Thursday morning the Grand Lodge was honored with a visit from Prof. Booker T. Washington and Bishop A. Grant. The rules were suspended and the distinguished visitors were received by the Knights and Ladies, with Grand Chancellor J. E Lewis presiding. The guests were escorted forward and introduced to the Grand Chancellor by Mr. Nick Chiles of Topeka; they were next introduced to the master of ceremonies, Mr. J. H. Guy, who presented them to the Grand Lodge and Court. Mr. Washington made one of his characteristic addresses, urging the Negroes to be more progressive and more able to defend themselves. He said that the race cannot be kept down, and gave as an instance the fact that the Negroes in the South own and control 10 banks, one of which has on deposit $46,000. He inquired as to the number of Negro banks in Kansas, but his inquiry met with no response. Bishop Grant delivered a short but stirring address. Both speakers were received with enthusiasm. Kev. S. W. Batchelor of Lawrence delivered an address of thanks on behalf of the Grand Lodge. On Thursday the Grand court was again honored with distinguished visitors; this time the visitors were all ladies. Mrs. C. A. Curl of Illinois, Supreme W.R of D; Mrs Jessie D. Robinson of Missouri, Supreme W. Ix; Mrs. Harris and Mrs. Denny of the Missouri Grand Court were presented and made short and pleasing addresses. The two last named ladies presented greetings from their Grand Court. A vote of thanks was tendered them, and the following committee appointed to extend greetings to the Missouri Grand Court: Mrs. A. Muller, Mrs. W. Anderson Miss O. Wilson. The following officers were elected Thursday afternoon and installed that evening: G. W. C., M. E. Matley, Topeka; G. W. Ix., M. Sommers, Kansas City; G. W. R D.. A. Miller, Lawrence; G. W. R.

They were given the Chatauqua salute on their entrance to the hall, and were cordially welcomed by G. W. C. Miss Arsania Williams of St. Louis. A recess was given during which time Blind Boone, who is a member of that Grand Court, played "Grand March Military" in honor of the Kansas delegation, and Mrs. Burris sang "The Holy City." The gavel which Mrs. Matley used during the session was presented by the Court of Calanthe at Columbus, and she was especially proud of it. It must not be thought from the foregoing that the time was all given to pleasure and no business transacted for such was not the case. The order has grown in numbers and in interest, and transacted more business than ever. Washington at Cawker City. (Continued from page one) thing, he expects to raise the black man to a plane of equality with the men of other races, and this solution Washington urges with such adroitness, with such dramatic fervor and yet with such simple and convincing earnestness, that it is almost impossible for one who hears him to doubt that Dr. Washington's method will succeed. By putting money in his pockets and religion in his heart, the black man will be raised to such an elevation that it will not be necessary to try to control him by Some Memphis Business Firms Palace Barber Shop son, Prop.
