THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Western Negro Press Association Accomplished Great Good at Colorado Springs. The tenth annual session of the Western Negro Press association was the best in the history of the organization. The Negro newspaper men are getting together at last. The The session opened Thursday morning at the A.M.E. church and concluded Friday evening with a banquet. A press bureau with Prof. John M. Jackson of Chicago at its head was established, and is a go. From this much good will be done. The speeches of Hon. Nelson C. Crews on "The Negro's Rights;" Rev. Dr. J. E. Caldwell of St. Joseph on "Our Duty to One Another;" and Hon. W. B. Townsend on "What Does the Thirteenth Amendment Mean?" were of much interest. The speakers had given their subjects much thought and were able to handle them well. Those present said never had they heard such logical discussions before. The choir rendered some excellent music and the recital by Miss Lebuff of New Orleans was a rare treat. The citizens of beautiful Colorado Srings certainly entertained the press in grand style. The six course banquet served in the annex of the church was as fine and served in as much style as could have been served at the Antlers hotel. Several visitors addressed the association. The mayor of the city made the welcome address, and we must say it was from the heart and he meant every word he said. He welcomed the members to the city and to visit his office, and gave some good advice which was appreciated. He is the first white man we ever heard speak highly of our women. He paid a high tribute to our ladies. Hon. W. H. Twine of Muskge responded, assuring the mayor and citizens of the highest appreciation of the members for the good people of of the city. Rev. J. Ford of Denver was made an honorary member, in fact, he is considered one of the old members. His address and advice was all that was needed, if carried out by the race. We commend Dr. Ford, and the Baptists should place him at the head of their best institution. He is an educated, Christian gentleman. Addresses were also made by the following: Nick Chiles, Topeka, Kaus.; G. W, Gross, Rocky Ford; Joseph D. Rivors, C. A. Franklin, Denver; W. B. Townsend, Pueblo; J. H. Jackson, D. B. Faw, P. S. Simpson, E. P. Booze, A. L. Miller and Mrs. Katherine D. Tillman, all of Colorado Springs. W. H. Duncan of Colorado Springs was unanimously re-elected president, and W. H. Twine, of Muskogee, I. T., corresponding secretary. The other officers elected were. F. J. Gordon, Muskogee, I T., vice president; D. B. Faw, Colorado Springs, recording secretery, and Miss S. Riley, Cuthrie, I. T., treasurer. ADDRESS TO THE PEOPLE. The Western Negro Press association in its tenth annual session bege leave to submit the following address to the people: We believe in an exalted Americanism, and in a sublime patriotism which knows no creed, no race nor TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 28, 1906. station in the building up of a new nationality which must be thoroughly homogeneous in all its parts. Under the salutary influences of our free American institution, we believe in individual worth and personal merit unhampered by race lines and other unpropitious conditions, and urge that each civil unit composing our composite nationality, be given an abundant opportunity for the highest and best possible growth and development, under the Stars and Stripes. We denounce all attempts, either directly or indirectly, to inject the race issue in the Great West,—a section dedicated to freedom—by the attempt to establish separate schools for the two races in Kansas and enter our solemn protest against such an unholy, unnatural and unnecessary innovation in our, educational affairs. We denounce the criminal clauses of all races and urge all good citizens to uphold law and order by making a fair and just discrimination between the law-abiding and the vicious elements of all races, and thus speedily unity the forces that tend toward good government in every community. We believe that the best panacea, ultimately, for our political ills will be the adoption by all of the states of universal suffrage, coupled with universal education and we therefore denounce the so-called "Grandfa- HON. WILLIAM H. DUNCAN, President of the Western Negro Press Association and Prominent Colorado Politician ther clauses" in the constitutions of several of the Southern states which permit ignorant whites to vote while denying the same privilege to ignorant blacks, and we urge Congress to reduce the representation from such states to the basis of their voting population. rather than permit them to vote as they do at present, upon the basis of their numerical strength; and we urge our people to oppose the nominees of any party which does not favor such reduction in congressional representation. We favor both the industrial as well as the higher education of Negro youth, as advocated by Booker T. Washington, and in keeping with the agricultural policy he also urges, call the attention of our people throughout the country to the growing and profitable sugar beet industry in this state, and urge them to homestead the cheap lands useful for beet culture and for other agricultural purposes which are now being made productive by means of national, state and individual irrigation. We denounce the lynching of any individual as being a disgrace to our civilization and call upon citizens everywhere to sustain the officers of the law and denounce this barbarous practice as being uncivilized, unchristian and unnecessary. We denounce all labor unions and all aggregations of capital which make the color of a man's face a prerequisite for earning an honest livelihood as being inimical to our form of government and a blot upon our twentieth century civilization. We indorse the administration of President Roosevelt and urge our people in county and state to stand by the party in the coming election, of which he is so able and so brilliant a representative. We indorse the Business League, the Niagara movement, and all other organizations which tend to elevate the Negro and thus conserve the best interests of our common humanity. THE NEGROES MUST FIGHT! Since the Officers of the Law Fails to Furnish Protection, Burn the Cursed City Into Ashes. A BISHOP ABRAM GRANT, the Greatest Bishop on the American Continent, Closed the Most Successful Conference in the History of the A. M. E. Connection at Puccio, Colo., last week. Great God! How long are these outrages to be continued without redress? How long will the law-abiding citizens permit to continue such damnable outrages as those now being perpetrated on the colored citizens of Atlanta, Ga.? Taking the Associated Press news, giving the massacreing of innocent people and the cause for such atrocities, as true, in no instance was a white woman outraged. In every case it was an attempt, and all agree that the parties were all Negroes. A drag net made by the officers picked up "suspicious characters", or any colored man that suited their fancy. Afterwards, a mob of hoodlums and grown up, ignorant and vicious devils banded together to kill off several colored people, it made no difference who. The officers of the law, from policemen to Governor, were very tardy in trying to preserve peace and protect life. Since white men are outraging colored women, and have for pastime in the South for the passages, certain classes of low Negroes are following in the footsteps of these white demons. And in several instances, in order to get even with some woman or family, white men with faces thickened have attempted these outrages in such way and manner as to lay the crime at the door of the Negro. Since these crimes seem to continue and women are not safe, we advise that both white and colored women be armed to protect themselves from these brutes. If the good and lawabiding white men in the South want criminals apprehended, put men of different classes on the police force, in the sheriff's office, on the secret service, in fact, in any official capacity to uphold the peace and dignity of the people. As long as good colored men are ignored as good citizens by the whites and looked upon as inferior as dogs to the human race, so long will the tough Negro commit crime without apprehension. He knows the white man can't find him, and the good Negro is not authorized to look him up for fear a white man might be arrested once in a while by a Negro officer, and so it goes on and on. And now, let us may to the Negroes of Atlanta and other communities, as long as you stay silent and allow these outrages to continue without action or redress on your part, they will grow worse and worse. As it is a well-settled fact that officers of the law are lax in their duty, it now becomes the duty of the best Negroes and whites to take the law into their own hands and if the whites do not care to join in let the Negroes go it alone. Buy dynamite, nitro-glycerine, gunpowder, coal oil, matches. Blow up every public institution, from the state houses where these crimes are encouraged by filthy lawmakers and unjust men draw salaries to see that justice is done, to court houses and school houses where this hatred is taught and lying and unjust judges infest. If this would not check it, extend the good work until the country was as barren as the Sabara desert. Not until something of this kind happens will these outrages cease. For every life lost a million dollars of property ought to go to pay the vengeance of God. Just think of it. Pulling men off the street care, from their wives and lady friends, and boating them to death! Negroes, how long are you going to stand it? Get Winchesters. Put them in your houses. Prepare for these outrages; they will happen in most any city that is not well governed. When men are run down to earth like brutes and no laws or officers to protect them they should resort to every method known for protection to themselves and families. We advise the use of everything that is helpful in the suppression of crime. Where there is no law the people fall. Let President Roosevelt speak out. A word from him would be helpful and would go a long way to ameliorate matters in those states where Negroes are not regarded as citizens. He spoke of the out rages on the Jews in Russia; now, let him speak of his own country, of which he is ruler. WESTERN UNIVERSITY. Hon W. L. Vernon, Registrar of the U. S. Treasury, also nominally president of Western University, returned to the institution Tuesday morning. The students at the school were very joyous over the return at their leader for a thirty day visit in Kansas and adoring states, and fairly outdid themselves in showing him respect and honor. The University Student Band playing "Hail to the Chief" met the carriage bearing Dr. Vernon, Hon Covine Patterson and Acting President Shelton French at the Quindaro postoffice, and quickly forming in line of march proceeded to the campus, where the procession passed through a long line of young lady students drawn up on one side and young men students on the opposite side. At the entrance the faculty extended him a warm greeting and hearty welcome. The student body then assembled in the Auditorium, where a short program of music preceded a very interesting talk by Dr. Vernon. He related a number of his experiences in Washington and in the East, and in his new position, and urged the students to stick to their books, their trades and their opportunities as the manner in which to solve their individual problems of success in life. Dr. Vernon said in part: "I have been all over the East, visited many of the leading colored institutions, and I want to tell you young men and women that as far as facilities, equipment and opportunities offered, their chances are not better than the state of Kansas gives to you here. The West is the heart and conscience of the nation, here the great activity of the future will take place, here will be trained by western schools of learning and industry the giants who are to contend in the struggle and competition that is sure to follow the development of this nation. Don't you know that Western University is one of the most talked about major institutions in this nation today from President Roosevelt on down the wonderful possibilities, the geographical advantages, and the Kansas push, energy and resultants are being noted by the thinkers and doors of the nation. "It would be my heart a delight in after years to learn that some young man or woman in who has attained Western University has become the leader of his people both in state and nation, and it is within the power of you young man and women to be such. It was while I was a struggling young student collecting and selling old iron, rags and bottles to earn money to pay for my books in a backwoods school of Missouri that I made up my mind to be like B. K. Bruce and sign my name upon the government's money. You should set your mind now to some high station in life, and through humor, adversity and misfortune doggedly work to it and for it, and you will get it. The world was not as more ready and anxious to help up an aspiring young negro who represents something than now. Your own destiny is locked up in your own determination and endeavor to be a success. Race hatred, poverty nor opposition can keep down or block the genius, the skill or the destiny of the rising negro youth." Dr Vernon will make his headquarters at his home in Quantan while in and out over the state in the political campaign and church conference. ALBUQUERQUE. N. M. The proclamation given by Mr James has per and Reynolds last Wednesday evening in honor of the Santa Fe was a grand affair. Present times were reported by all present to make a number of the Santa Fe was Alla people, his work, it being 10 week of the Territorial War. The twentieth century Doming Club gave a ball last Friday evening. It was the grand ball at the season and all present report a splendid time. Mrs. S. Black entertained last Wed nightly attention in honour of the younger Santa Fe. The allotment was a grand success. NUMBER 88. A. WEALTHY K. P. LODGE! John Lange Lodge Represents Thousands of Dollars-It Will do Good for Due to the ability of Mr. John Lange, Manager of the Blind Boone Concert Company and wealthiest Negro in Missouri, a new lodge of Pythians, composed of the best known Negroes of Kansas City, was organized Monday night. Men representing the several walks in life are numbered among its membership, some of whom are the men of considerable means. The following is a partial list of those who joined, a brief sketch and the amount that each represents. John Lange, the chief factor in this organization, is, in addition to being the wealthiest Negro in Missouri, the most successful theatrical manager that the Negro race has produced. Twenty six prosperous years on the road, the accumulation of a fortune for himself and Blind Boone, to say nothing of a score of people whom he has employed and made wealthy, he continues to take an active interest in the great work of uplifting the race. His interest in the race along its several lines of development has created a civic as well as a public-spirited pride among the Negroes of Kansas City, which threatens to so revolutionize affairs that will make Kansas City Negroes the leaders of their race in wealth, education, etc., in the United States. He is fortunate in having as an assistant in this work, a wife, Mrs. Ruth Lange, who is a talented and accomplished lady, ever ready to second the movements of her husband for the betterment of the race. Mr. Lange is reputed to be worth at least $200,000. ```markdown ``` Bishop Abram Grant, who is, perhaps, with the single exception of Booker Washington, the best known Negro in America, is one of the most potential forces in the great church which he represents. The fifth Episcopal district has had a number of good and able men to preside over its destinies but no one of them got so near the people as has Bishop Grant. Loved, honored, respected by all races and classes of our citizens, he is doing a work here in the West, never dreamed of by the most sanguine leaders of the race. Dr. F. Jerne Peck, the talented young pastor of Allen Chapel, A. M. E. church and one of the rising stars of the connection, in taking an active part in this work. Hon. Nelson C. Crews, the Demonstrates of the West and a born leader of men, a man who, if he had been a resident of any state other than Minnourt, would have been in Congress, he will yet be heard from in the order. Rev. Dr. S. Bacote, pastor of the Second Baptist church, one of the largest churches in America, is a believer in the order and was initiated Monday night. Dan Lucas, the well known veteran tonnorial artist, a man who has made several fortunes, built the most elegant home in Kansas City, given his children a college education, a man whose check today would be honored for $10,000, is a sincere believer in the Knights of Pythias. Hon. A. W. Loyd, the Grind Chancellor, has his residence in St. Louis but is so well known over the state that his home seems to be any place where he rests his grip. He is the right man in the right place and FROM CORPORATIVE COUNSEL Marris' Railroad Ideas Traced to Their Origin-Kester Pretails. From Governmental Governors Horace A. Reefer of Leavenworth county, the Populist nominee for Governor, is determined that no populist or conservative populist vote for Governor, is in Chicago this fall without acknowledging the political record of the Illinois man the Democrats have nominated for Governor of Kansas. Mr. Reefer is a former political associate of Harris and has an intimate knowledge of the political methods and plans of the Harris-Farrelly-Wagener crushed of Democrates. When Col Harris lived in Kansas his residence was in Leavenworth county, Keefar too was a resident of Leavenworth county and as a leading populist he was thrown rough with Harris in the old fusion days when the Pops thought they could depend on the Democrats. While in Topeka attending the meeting of the Populist state central committee Keefar spoke his mind freely contesting Harris and some of the things he said, and will repeat in each speech he makes this fall, are costing the Chicago man hundreds of supporters. Keefar's story of his first suspicion of Harris is interesting. "In 1896 Harris wanted to be the fusion nominee for Governor," he says. "Harris has asked me to become a candidate for state senator from Lennaworth county. Harris was defeated as a candidate for Governor and came home from the Ahlene convention and in order to help him in his scheme to be elected United States senator I withdrew as a candidate for state senator in his favor. Through the influence of myself and some of my Populus friends he was elected state senator and I was made a member of the House. "After the election Harris asked me to come down to his house and participate in a conference regarding proposed railroad legislation. I asked who would be there and he said 'Judge Robinson and a few of the boys.'" "Do you mean Judge Ellhu Robinson, of Kansas City?" I asked. "Why,' I replied, he is a Missouri Pacific attorney. "I know that,' said Harris, 'but he is a good follow and he is my brother-in-law. He will give us some good polaters about legislation next winter. You better come down.' "From that time on I became suspicious of Colenel Harris. I could not understand how he expected to profit or do the people good from painters which he would receive from a Missouri Pacific attorney. I watched the colonel from that time and found that he was working entirely too much with Judge Robinson, Belle Waggoner, Hugh Farrelly and W. H. Ryan, Ryan, Harris and Farrelly were in the courts that winter, and they worked together to fool the people. They succeeded fairly well in the railroad measure they put through, but they could not fool Governor Leedy. They came so near succeeding that time that they think they can fool the people this year. They are mislaken. We will call attention to the fact that Colonel Harris instead upon being surrounded this year with Ryan and Parrally. He had worked with these men in some of his former deals and knew that he could get along with them. Consistency is a Jewel Populists who contemplate voting the republicized pop state ticket this fall should remember that George Hanna, the chairman of the so-called populist organization, was a member of the Kansas state senate during the Leady administration and fought every bill introduced to redeem the pledges of the populist platform.—Independence Times. And yet Senator Hanna voted the same way as did Senator Harris on all important pop measures, including the railroad bill that session Why doesn't the Times denounce Harris, too, instead of supporting him?—Kansas City Journal. Senator Long will devote all of his time from now until the election to the campaign. He has arranged his private business so that he will be free until November. With W. J. Pitgerald, republican candidate for lieutenant governor, and C. E. Denton, republican candidate for secretary of state Senator Long will make an automobile trip through the five southwestern counties, which have no railroads, next month. The party will start September 17, and will make speeches and campaign through the counties until September 24. "David Overmyer, lighting change artist and red fire expert of the democratic party, is the only living man who can quote from some speech made by himself to prove that he was all one time right on every question," says Gov. Riddle "This is true, because David has spoken on all sides of all questions that have ever been before the people." Longworth's Great Grandfather Congressman Nicholas Longworth's great grandfather was a native of Newark, N.J., but in the early part of the last century went to Cincinnati and laid the foundation of the Ohio branch of the family and incidentally made a fortune in real estate. When a man talks through his hat a woman may be pardoned for laughing in her sleeve. HE DISLIKES BRYAN HE DISLIKES BRYAN W. A. HARRIS CONCEALS HIS HATRED AND NOW DODGES. Desires To Prevent Bryan From Speaking in Kane s. THE DEMOCRATIC PROTESTS ONE OF THE LEADERS GIVES TRUE RXPLANATION. Of Real Attitude of the Chicago Candidate for Governor. "W. J. Bryan will not make speeches in Kansas this fall if W. A. Harris can help it," remarked one of the best known Democrats in the state at the conclusion of the Democrat state committee meeting in Tupelo last week. "I know Harris has denied the truth of the published statement that he wants no outsiders to come to Kansas this year but his denial is not founded on truth. I was in the meeting and heard the matter discussed so I know what I am talking about. "Harris hates Bryan and makes no secret of his hatred when he thinks himself among friends. Harris knows that Kausa people would like to hear Bryan this fall and that the Nebraskan would do the party much good in the state. I do not mean by this that Bryan would make votes for Harris. I think the contrary is true. But Bryan is going to be the Democratic candidate for president in two years and by two or three speeches in Kansas this fall he could stir the voters up so we would have no trouble in carrying the state in 1908. "Harris does not want Bryan elected. Besides he does not want to stir the Republicans up on national issues this year. The presence of Bryan would draw the lines in the present campaign on a partisan basis. That is the thing Harris does not want and in order to accomplish his own purposes he is willing to injure Bryan's chances in two years. Fearing to openly acknowledge his hatred for Bryan, Harris does a meaner thing and stabs the Nebraskan in the back under the cloak of friendship. It is the old story of Harris—he is for Harris all the time and never for anyone else. I am first a friend of Bryan and do not like to see him get the worst of it from men who should be his friends. While I am supporting Harris you can say that most of the enthusiasm has been taken out of you by Harris' attitude toward Bryan and that there are hundreds more who feel just as I do about it." JACKSON, ALL RIGHT. Next Attorney General is Honest And Canabba F. R. Jackson, republican candidate for attorney general probably is one of the best qualified men saw the place he seeks of the candidates on any ticket. He is the present assistant attorney general and has had a great deal to do with the work of his department in making trouble for the trusts and big corporations. He has devoted his time to a study of the infliquities of the trust problem and probably is as well informed on the subject as any lawyer in the state and in much better condition to handle such problems than any candidate against him. Mr. Jackson is one of the brightest of the young atorneys in the state. He has practiced law for a number of years in Greenwood county and was county attorney there for a term. He made one of the best prosecuting officers the county ever had and it was largely on account of the good record he made in that office that he was selected to fill the place of assistant attorney general when Jay P. Close died. He has declared himself in favor of those reforms which the Republican party has been advocating for years and he will be one of the strong men of the next state administration. He has repeatedly said that he will do what he can to bring about reforms wanted by the people while his opponent, David Overmeyer, goes up and down the state discussing any issue to keep away from state reforms. NO SIMILARITY. Comparison of W. A. Harris With Governance, Ethics in Amuria Governor Fork is Amending. The Kansas City Star (Dem) tries to compare Colonel W. A. Harris with Governor Folk of Missouri and to make its readers believe that conditions in Kansas are as bad as they were in Missouri when Fork was elected. The attempt to make the people of Kansas believe that Harris is of the same brand as the governor of Missouri is laughable. How many people recall a single action of Harris, during the six years he was United States senator from this state that is worth remembering. Even his staunch admirer, the Star, can find only one qualification which ought to command him to the people—that of his honesty. The time has come when honesty is not the only qualification needed by a man who would manage the affairs of a state. It would be a very difficult matter for the Star to convince Kansas people that Harris is any more honest than Governor Hoch and as for being as well qualified in other ways, the argument is all on the Hoch side of the question. Colonel Harris served the state six years and left no record or big deeds behind him. THE CREAM LINE. Where milk or cream is furnished that has been pasteurized to secure a more healthful and better keeping article customers often complain that it has been skimmed, because the cream line, ordinarily so noticeable, is either indistinct or entirely absent. They also complain that pasteurized cream is not as rik as claimed, for, as all who have had experience know, it is much thinner than raw cream. In fact, these cases the customer's complaint is groundless; but the fact remains that many milk producers have lost good customers through ignorance of these effects of pasteurization demand for the more wholesome production, and there is great need of the spread of information to increase the ucts. At creameries, where the mixed milk from many dalries is handled, there is a strong demand for the compulsory pasteurization of akimilk as the dairymen are coming to realize the danger of infecting their stock through feeding mixed milk that has not been pasteurized. It would thus seem that the health of choice live stock is more carefully guided than the health of human beings. Under present conditions pasteurization is a necessity for the common good. Perhaps in the not distant future the conditions surrounding milk production will so improve as to reduced pasteurization unnecessary. Farming BUY THE BEST COWS. In measuring our hands or in figuring those that have been burned out, the average productivity is often kept down by our strong intention to buy cheap cows instead of good ones. For example a cow that will give, on an average, a gallon of milk the year round will cost, we will say, $80; one that will give 14 gallons will cost $200, and one that will give 2 gallons will cost $300. We know that the expense of keeping each of these three cows is practically the same, and for the purpose of illustrating this point we will say that it costs $20 to keep each a year. We find, therefore, that if the milk tests 4.5 per cent butter fat, the 1 gallon cow will produce about 1048 pounds of butter, which at 25c per pound will bring $41.20. The 1 gallon cow, therefore, pays expenses exactly, but not 1 cent interest on the investment. The 11s, gallon cow, which costs $60 to begin with, makes a profit of $20.60 a year, while the $100 cow giving 2 gallons per day, makes a profit of $41.20 a year. Therefore, which would you prefer to dof Invest $100 in one cow that will produce a profit of $41.60 a year, or invest $00 in three cows all of which will not produce 1 cent profit in the year? This is an illustration of the exact condition that exists in many of our herds today, and until we dispose of these $30 boarders we can never make this day's pay, no matter how we feed them. Above all things, keep behind your herd with the milk scales and with the milk sheets, and no dairyman should be satisfied until his herd will produce at least an avergee per cow of a pound of butter or 2 gallons of milk for every day in the year.—B H. Rawl, U. S Dept. of Agriculture. KEEP COW STABLES CLEAN. KEEP COW STABLES CLEAN. The man who mails in a stable or lot when the mud and manure is half knee deep to his cows and the milkers have to wear rubber boots to keep their feet dry, is sure to produce poor milk. Nine farmers out of every ten milk under just such conditions in rainy weather and make little or no effort to improve on these conditions, yet each and every or them would kick like blue blades if their wives would be the least but most about their kitchen. Now we are a man and not an old mud so we make the above assession without tter or fatter mother are the tenth man although we are unmarried, much to our regret. The fetter is durning in the average farm is in a bad way and something ought to be done to improve it. Probably the vaster way would be to have the cow hot and stable on a safe hall where the minute is washed away as rapidly as it is made; we have seen such arrangements but we do not in the least recommend them. The better way is to house the stable on as high ground as is convenient, till in and about it until it is raised two or more feet above the level of the hot and then naill the manure out before any considerable quantity accumulates. Cow manure is quite valuable and to get the most good from it spread it on your fields before the ram leach the major part of its fertility out. ```markdown ``` DAIRY NOTES. Fly time is not yet past. The cow that never goes dry may be OK at theory but in practice she sett down pins out. A cow should have a rest of six weeks just before calving. The average farmer will grow a bat tand ted calf if it is dropped in the tall thin in the spring. The milk is less likely to be bad in the fall than in the spring. The cow that has a tendency to fatten under biotic feeling is not the kind to choose for a milker. The function of the dairy cow is to convert food into milk, not beef, and she should confine her attention solely to that. Bear that in mind when you are buying your milk cow. Cows will give more milk if fed some grain along with their pasture no matter what abut the grass may be. The set of success with the dairy cow is to tell all she will eat and to get hot to eat all she can. It is she or the right cow she will yield the greater point this. In one case the cow just after calving determines to a large degree her future milk is a marker. If she is not it once bounced up to a high state of milk production the chances are she can not be during that period of lactation. If a cow is permitted to fall in her milk pro- douction it is next to impossible to get her back to her former yield. If the house wife does not have ice to use about the dairy in the summer she will find it to her adjant to do the churning in the early morning. Nineteen he of the trouble in getting the butter to "come" is due to trying to churn at a warm tempera ve. During the summer season the cream is nearer the proper temperature in the morning then at any other time. With the abundance of feed that the state is blessed, this year would be a good one to convert those unprofitable milk cows you have been "boarding" so long into beef. Be sure you do not discard your good cows when you begin overhauling and thinning out your herd, for often the most unpromising cow in the lot from external indications is the best. The sure way to know what is what, is to weigh and test the milk from each and all your cows. After you have made a thorough test of their dairy capacity you can rid yourself of the boards to better advantage. This will be a good time to begin improvement. ```markdown ``` NEGRO SOLDIERS RESENT INSULT. Panic Previews in Texas Town—One Man Killed, Another, Wounded. Soldiers Thicaten to Burn the City- Whites Fearful-Many Leaving- Troops Removed. Special to the Citizen. Brownville, Ilex, Thursday.—As a result of insulting a Negro trooper, members of the battalion stationed at Fort Brown entered the town and fired several volleys down Main street. Frank Natus, a barkeeper is dead, a bullet from a King Jorgensen rifle mating pierced his heart, and policeman Joseph Dominge is wounded, his arm and hand shattered by a bullet and his horse shot from under him. Twenty-three of the bullets fired entered the home of Louis R. Cowan, many went through the residence of F. E. Stark and several bricks were shot from the walls of the Miller Hotel, near a window where guests were sleeping. After their depredations the Negroes returned to their garrison. The Trouble. Major Penrose, in charge of the troops, has reported the following to the War Department. He says: "That the enlisted men have been subjected to indignities since their arrival here there can be no doubt, and this has caused a good deal of feeling among them. The one case to which I attribute this outbreak, I will make the subject of an official report as soon as John W. Vann, the collector of customs, returns to the city." Major Penrose then outlined briefly the case in question. Privates Newton and Lipacomb were passing along a walk on August 5 where some women were standing engaged in conversation with a man named Tate, who is employed in the customs office. The Negro privates walked single file between the women and fence. Tate knocked Newman down with the butt of a revolver and is reported to have said: "I'll teach you to get off the sidewalk when there is a party of ladies on the walk." When Newman arose Tate is said to have covered him with the revolver, commanding: "—— you, leave or I will blow your brains out." This account of the affair is corroborated by Lipacomb Major Penrose sought an official investigation of the affair, but as the collector of customs, Mr. Vann, is out of the city, it has not been possible to have the affair looked into. On August 13, Major Penrose says, a Mr. Evans and Dr. Combe, mayor of Brownville, called on him. Mr. Evans said his wife was seized while entering her home by a Negro supposed to be a soldier, as he were khaki uniform. Mr. Evans was unable to identify the man, but both complained that the soldiers gathered near their home and annoyed them. That evening Major Penrose made an attempt to get all the soldiers into the reservation early. All but two men, who were cut on passes, were gathered into the post, but shortly after midnight the engagement which resulted in disastrously took place, and the whole garrison was awakened by a fusillade. As soon as the shooting ceased and it seemed safe to make an investigation all but two soldiers answered roll call and the rifles were all in place and showed no marks which indicated that they had been fired. Cartridges and shells made at government arsenals were found near where the shooting took place, and Major Penrose expresses the opinion that eight or nine soldiers who had keys to the gun racks got their weapons, shipped out of the post and engaged in the battle with the citizens and managed to clean their guns, replace them in the racks and regain their place in the barracks during the excitement which prevailed in the post. Citizens Appeal. Brownsville, Tex, Saturday—Hon Charles A. Culberson, United States Senator, Dallas, Texas. We appeal to you again in our great necessity. Our position is misunderstood. We can not convince our women and children that an other outbreak may not occur at any time. Their condition is deplorable. They will surely venture out of their homes and feel secure thereby. We are maintaining a heavy guard and patrol on armed citizens every night. We know that the incident discharge of a firearm or any over act of an excited citizen—and our citizens are fearfully evicted—would precipitate upon us the whole Negro force at Brownsville, and we do not believe that their officers could retain or control them. There are only five officers present, and the consequences would be a fearful loss of life and probably the destruction of the city. Many of our citizens have removed and are removing their families else- where. A Texas town should not let the unalded in this condition. The greatest unrestness still exists, as the soldiers threaten to break out again and hit the town. Abolishes Post. Fort Brown Post has been ord'd J abolished by the War Department, a result of mistreating Negro sold by the white citizens, thus leaving them unprotected from Mexico. Soldiers Re.noved. A special from Washington says "The colored soldiers have been removed to Fort Ringold, 100 miles up the Rio Grande, and white troops have been ordered to Fort Brown. Articbokes contain twice the amount of protein that turmips do, more than twice as much carbohydrates and an equal amount of fat. They are valuable as feed for horses and cattle, but the labor involved in digging makes them undesirable for this purpose. Where hogs are allowed to do their own digging, artichokes make an excellent food and can be raised with point. They will feed on the artichokes long after the tubers are spotted in the spring, and will eat tops and alfalfa allowed to turn upon them freely. They are best fed to feed as soon as the blooms fall and they may be eaten by hogs at all times when the ground is not frozen until pasture is ready the following spring. While not best for fattening, they give a pig a good appetite and it tads well corn and other grain, possess undoubted value. HOG FEEDING Large birds of swine should be divided so that not more than a few dozen animals are kept together. Each sow should have a separate pen for herself and her pigs. The boar should not be permitted to run with the herd. The pen, troughs and all the surroundings of the hog should not only be cleaned frequently, but disinfected. The food for swine should be selected carefully. Do not feed corn exclusively, and be careful to supply enough green food in the winter time. Soghnum is especially recommended as a winter food. Always heat the hogs food in cold weather, for the animal's comfort and well being. Get out of your head that anything is good enough for the pig; remember, rather, that nothing is too good for the pig. GIVE THE HOGS LIGHT. It is a wise man who will give his pigs plenty of sunlight. It is not easy to do this in a large building, particularly if it is made a part of any other building. Hog houses ought to be isolated, and better still, portable houses should be used whenever possible. Portable houses, mounted on runners, can be moped from one small clover or rape field to another, giving the pigs fresh pastureage and clean quarters. Of course such pens are only for shelter and nesting purposes. They prevent a large number of hogs plowing up on each other, and the animals are kept warmer and dryer. The portable farrowing pen should have a place on every farm where two or more sows are kept. These are easily built by any farmer handy with tools, and should not cost over $1. RAPE FOR PIGS. Pigs in clover are popularly supposed to be in the ideal animal environment, but the cold facts, developed by experiment, show that pigs in tape do better. In a Wisconsin experiment 25 pigs fed on tape for eight weeks gained 53 pounds more weight than the same number fed on down for the same time. It is a mistake to assume, however, that rape alone makes an ideal food for gain. They must have some grain. Pigs on tape or clover alone, pigs will do better on clover. Rape should be fed by means of movable forces, in order that the pigs may not triangle the field too much. Clover has to be pastured, or it will quickly become dry and woody, and therefore, without proper nutrition. With ordinary rainfall, rape provides a constant pastureage. DON'T FORGET THE CHARCOAL. DON'T FORGET THE CHARCOAL. Everybody will soon be busy with fall work, but it will not do to forget to provide charcoal for the hogs. Of course wood charcoal is the best, and corncob timers come next. Some farmers dump coal ashes into the hog pen occasionally and let it go at that. Charcoal should all be burned inside the pig pen; none will be wasted in that way. Manage to get a few pieces of good hard wood and throw on top of cob piles. Then when all is burned down, sprinkle it with a lot of course salt. This will do the hogs good, and may stave off cholera. Sucker Business. The "sucker business" in Wall street is estimated to be worth over 375 million dollars a year to the brokers and then allies, the banks. By "sucker business" is meant the amount of money lifted out of the packets of the people. The brokers are not to blame. People do not have to be begged to speculate they are born to gamble. The chief end of man is to get something for nothing, and that is why millions of our fellow citizens throughout the land die the millions to one end of a Wall street palate wine and squander their earnings taking that wine. What astounding figures? The total value of wood produced in the United States is about 67 million dollars annually, and the annual burglar in Wall street is 375 million dollars—New York Sun. Thousands of fighting troops. A desperate battle recently took place in a valley in Ojimura. In the Horima prefecture, between two armies of frogs, a corps of about 4,000 frogs took up a strong position at the entrance to the valley, and were attacked by an invading army in two divisions of 3,000 each. The battle began at 9 in the morning, and continued until an indexplicable scene of bustle and noise of tronkings until 10 next day. There were many interested spectators of the unusual spectacle, and amid great excitement the invaders ousted the defending army and overran the valley, cranking their triumph as they went. More than 700 frog warriors were killed and 2,000 wounded. The method of warfare adopted by the frogs was to jump at each other fiercely, and snap and bite until mortal injuries were inflicted or they became exhausted—Japan Times. SOURCE OF SUPPLIES "I don't see why you women are always talking scandal," growled Biffkins. "We men never talk it." "Of course not," snapped Mrs. Biffkins. "you always furnish the material." —Chicago News. DENVER, COLORADO. Something is doing, and no doubt will come off in the political arena this fall. The machine Republicans kicked the Negro out in the cold, distranchised them at the prisons and of the convention put them on the shelf to dry. Now for soft grip. Watch the Stateneman tells its share of Ross Kans' flat round dollars and fill in line for the sake of Joe Lincoln. That's are O.K. in Colorado. Senator T. M. Patterson pulled the corporation Democrats across his lip, give them a good spanking and suit them home, while the band played a hot time in the old town, and the convention setted down to business, nominated Alas Adams of Pacuco, Col., for governor, while Bob Speer was consulting what to do about it with Boss Davis. Mr. J. W. Jackson, our popular shoe man, got a complimentary vote of 55 and Hon. J. H. complimentary 20 votes for representative in the legislature. Was not this a cold deal when the Negroes expected sure one place on the ticket? Now the cry is, "boys, there will be plenty of money and a few janitor jobs for you; fall in line, for we fought to free you from the Democrats." Is not this soft soap J. H. Jackson and Boose of Colorado Springs are in Denver trying to be put on the campaign pay roll to quiet the Negroes and get them in line for the corporation party. Does it not jar you to see our people who think they are IT stoop to do any old thing for the race; that is when he is the race. My advice is, if a snake should bite at you strike it. The only way to teach obedience is a licking, and the way to gan recognition is to fight back. Give the warm love to some other, and when the fellow can only smell and not taste thorof he will make terms. Be men and women and assert your rights. Mr. J. W. Jackson has opened the finest and most complete shoe store and repairing shop in the state—the only ones of the kind run by a Negro this side of New Foundland.

Gleed and Jones, the leading undertakers of the city have erected a 75x150, two story brick livery stable, one of the largest barns in the city, Messrs. Gleed and Jones have been conducting the Kansas City Embalming and Casket business for many years and have made it a success. They needed room for their many horses, hearses and other vehicles connected with the undertaking business, and they will also conduct a regular livery and have some of the finest horses and buggies for hire. The stalls are now being rapidly taken and within the next thirty days the barn will be crowded with bo. rents. We are at a loss to know why it is that more colored people are not in the livery business in various portions of the United States. It is a business that does not require so much capital as labor and the exercise of good judgment. Let all the colored people who have business in the two Kansas Cities patronize this great firm until they become so prosperous that some other colored man will open up a stable or something similar. MEMPHI8 NOTES. There are over twenty seven colored physicians in the city. Attorney J. T. Settles is one of the leading attorneys of the state, and enjoys a large practice. Dr. J. L. Delaney is one of the leading young doctors in the city. R. Warsau Ware, cashier of the solvent Savings bank, is quite a business young man and we would be glad to have him come to Topeka and organize a bank. A new drug store will be opened in Memphis in a few days at 217 S. Main. This will be the first Negro business on this street in that portion of the city. Ernest Q. Garnes, the proprietor, resided in Kansas City, Mo. for a long while. He intends to make this one the best drug stores in the county. Dr. G. P. Bell is another leading physician who is rapidly forging to the front. Simmons and company's printing office is a commendable enterprise, and Mehra Pace and Simmons are to be congratulated on the manner in which they handle their office. We were the guest of Rev. Stanley Mitchell and wife at three o'clock dinner on Friday afternoon at their beautiful home. Two of the leading ministers of Mississippi and their wives were present, also Rev. White of North Topeka. Our friend, W. M. Moore and his wife, formerly of Topeka, are conducting a first class restaurant and are contemplating returning to the West soon. Just think of not allowing colored people to sit in the court house square park: separate watering places labelled for colored people. It a Negro attempts to sit in this public park, he is subject to arrest. We are sorry to announce the death of Miss Birdie Wetkins, who departed this late Saturday, September 1st, at 356 Lucy ave. Her father, mother, four brothers and one sister survive her. Hance Institute will open Monday October 1st, and not September 1t as stated in last issue.

Mr McCabe is an ex county clerk of Shawnee county and his many friends will be pleased to know that he is well and enjoying life. MEMPHIS. TENN. NOTES OF THE NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION. The National Baptist Convention was the largest and most influential gathering that has ever assembled in Memphis—probably, in the South—and it represented some of the best talent of the race, of which we are proud. The next session will be held in Washington, D. C. Rev. W. J. McMichael presided at the dedication of the Convention hall, Tuesday night, Sept. 11. An able address was made on that occasion by Rev.

Scarey delivered the welcome address, which captured the convention. The white brethren will never forget him. Rev. T. O. Fuller, chairman of the entertainment committee, is deserving of great credit for his efficient management. The Negro Baptist Year Book, compiled by Rev. W. Bacote, of Kansas City, Mo., was adopted by the Convention. It will be used throughout the denomination and will be helpful along many lines.

Allen, of Indepen dence delivered the first sermon on Monday night, in honor of the 33rd anniversary of the officers of St. James A. M. E. church, of this city. The following is an extract from a letter written by Miss Evelyn Hickman, who at one time held a position as stenographer on THE PLAINDEALER. She is now filling a similar position with the National Baptist Foreign Mission Board at Louisville, Ky. Miss Hickman is beyond all doubt, the best colored stenographer and office woman Kansas ever produced, and is the peer of all others. Socially, and otherwise, she is one of the best girls in the world. The following from her letter is very interesting: LORISVILLE, KY., 9-22, '06. MISS WILLA L. SMITH, Topeka KU, MY FRIEND WILLA: I have recently returned from a visit to Lexington, Danville and Stanford, Ky. I attended a colored Fair at first named place, and it was delightful. You see it was something new to me to see a Fair controlled by Negroes. Lexington is the center of the "blue grass district" which with other conditions, makes it particularly interesting on occasions like the one mentioned. At the other little cities I visited relatives—uncles, aunts, cousins, etc., by the score. I met a number of mamma's and papa's friends all of whom did their part toward making my stay in those cities a pleasant one. You know Southern people know how to cook, and are more or less hospitable, of which they often boast. I wish you could have seen me devour the many good things they prepared to eat. A neice of papa's resides at the old Shelby place (the Shelby farm mentioned in Uncle Tom's Cabin—in fact the very place that was the inspiration of Harriett Beescher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin.") Quite a historic place with its spaceous rooms and reception halls. The surroundings are simply magnificent. The very cabin where Uncle Tom lived is yet standing, though in decay. I stood in the closet where it is said Eliza was when she overheard the conversation relative to their being sold. Of course the place has been well kept, yet it is remarkable how well the buildings are preserved. I could tell you more but haven't the time. EVELYN. NOTICE OF SALE.

Edgar Perry, the examining physician of the Knights of Pythias, a man whom Walter Williams the famous Missouri author, characterizes as the first of his race in the state, is not only a firm believer in the future destiny of the race, but a staunch advocate of the possibilities of the Knights of Pythias, Prof. J. Dallas Bowser, educator and journalist, principal of Attucks school, the best equipped building in the United States for Negroes, thirty-four years in the schools of Kansas City, the owner of property valued at $75,000, is one of the new converts to Pythianism.

T. Harris. Prof. D. N. Crosthwait, the well known teacher of science in Lincoln High school, is doing splendid work for the order in this section. His interest in the work will make him a useful member in its high council by and by. Dr. J. N. Birch, a physician whose income from five to ten thousand dollars a year is evidenced in the splendid buildings he has erected, and whose confidence in the race attested by his putting them at the disposal of his own people, shows his interest in the order by becoming an active member. Dr. T. C. Chapman, a dentist with a large and lucrative practice, finds time to leave his chair and pull for the Knights of Pythias, his favorite order. J. D. Henderson, of the Milwaukee railroad, a member of many fraternal organizations, is most deeply interested in the K. of P., and is giving it his earnest support. Willis G. Mosley, of the Post Office department, with many other clerks and carriers are deeply interested in the work. B. B. Francis of the Picture Clothing Company, and his son, Nicholas, are loud in their praises of the order. J. T. McCampbell and W. H.

The latter audience was more thoroughly in humour with the speaker all throughout as was exemplified by the city applause which frequently punctured the address. One of the most pleasing features of the meeting was the many questions of vital importance asked and the pleasing and profitable manner in which they were answered. Short talks were made by Prof Ross, Mr Doughiss and Mr Hipton, Prof. Gregg, Kennedy, and Vaughan and Prof. French.

M. E. church, Hutchinson, Kansas, Sept. 26-Oct. 6, 1906. POINTS OF THE PILES BURNED. Remarkable Case of Spontaneous Ignition Recently Noted. A remarkable case of spontaneous ignition that recently occurred is erecting the walls of the new Rotterdam dam which is related by the Technische Dundee. Rattus had been in use there for some time, which by 180 or 200 strokes per minute caused a steady advance of the piles. The foundation was such that the pillars had to be driven through the quicksand down to the solid ground. On withdrawing some piles, the points of the latter were found, owing to the enormous friction, to have been scarred entirely and heared to such a point as to begin burning sporously on coming in contact with the air; nor could iron shoes prevent this enormous ignition. When leaving the piles in the ground, this ignition would no result in any damage, the charring remaining fixed to the surface, and the heat being rapidly carried away in the molten surroundings.

Every year thousands of bushels of walnuts go to waste all over the country, and few farmers think of their value for poultry food. For years we have been gathering the walnuts and storing them in some shed or our house, and we consider every bushel of them worth fully as much as a bushel of oats. It is not necessary to remove the hulls, but do not store them more than a few inches deep, as they may heat and rot. A 10x18 space will hold a big wagon load safely. Who real cold weather sets in we hash it a bushelful with an 14 and and feed them to the laying house. The great amount of oil contained in the kernels will do more to help keep up animal heat than almost any other foodstuff we can produce, and we have never had disease in our flocks when we have walnuts as part of the winter ration. With eggs at present prices, and high prices during the past year, we may look to see them sell high all through the coming winter, and should do all within our power to make us harley. The colored people are partly to blame for some of the wretched conditions existing in the South, from the fact that they are too cowardly to rise up as one man and stand up for the principles of right and justice. They cater and bow to the whims of the prejudiced whites, and to the class of Negroes who assist the whites in oppressing the Negroes. There is no excuse for hardworking people with a fair education of what is just and right submitting to all of these indignities. Yet, the time is not at hand to create too much of an internal strife until the Negroes become better situated financially and also add more bravery, so as to able to defend themselves.

Dunemore Prove Democratic Opposition." J. M. Dunmore of Noshio county, the speaker of the Dipollit House of representatives of 19 is fighting Colonel Harla. He says that he is opposed to its candidate who Lates old soldiers as Colonel Harris and his colleagues do. In a letter written to the Chanitie Tibune, Mr. Dusmore shows the connection between Harris and Allen B Parker and between the Kansas Democratic platform and the platform adopted by the Democratic national convention two years ago. The letter in part is as follows: I notice that a number of the soldier pension hating papers are developing considerable space to the ox Union soldiers, in support of the candidacy of W. A. Harris for governor. A little history may throw some light and show just where the Democratic party stands on the soldier question. President Roosevelt authorized pension order 78 on March 15, 1904. This order was nothing more than a liberal construction of pension acts of congress, and by its terms declared that it should be considered as an evidential fact that where an applicant for pension has passed 62 years of age he is disabled one half in ability to perform manual labor and so by graduation to the age of 70 years, when that fact was to be deemed sufficient for a rating of $12 per month. The Democratic party met at St Louis in July, 1934, and true to the general attitude of the party toward Union soldiers, it could not refrain from criticizing in its platform this very just order by the president as "an arbitrary executive order," and the nominee of that convention Judge Parker, in his letter of acceptance, referring to pensions and the Democratic platform said, It denies the right of the executive to usurp the power of congress ... Such usurpation was attempted by pension order No. 78, and effect has been given to it by a congress that dared not resent the usurpation" Here we have Judge Parker charging President Roosevelt with an offense for which if guilty he should be impeached At that convention Mr Harris was an active supporter of Judge Parker, both before and after his nomination and was himself a candidate for vice president as a Parker man and sought the support of the Kansas delegation but was turned down by that body, even Mr Parrelly refusing to support him, and Mr Johnson declared that he for one would vote forever and eternally against such a man" referring to Mr Harris' support of Judge Parker, and his very solident Wall street backing. The Democratic convention held at Topeka on April 23 of this year, by its platform indered every line of this solider having platform in 1904. And now we find this Parker Democrat from Chicago, Mr. Harris, and the Democrat statesman from Shawnee county, Mr. Overmyer, note about the state proclaiming themselves special friends of the old soldiers, and asking their votes. PRISCN TO PLATFORM. Ex Conflict Matter Speech for Democratic Committee The Democratic state central committee has collected an aggregation of speakers which probably would win the combination prize in any indoor gathering in the country. The collection consists in the order of their ability and value of Ira N. Terrell, formerly an inmate of the Kansas penitentiary where he served a sentence for a murder committed in Oklahoma fourteen years Ella S. Burton, who worked for some years as stenographer for the American Book company and quit that position after who had collected a number of secrets which would be of value in a business way to a rival and wait with them in a Kensers company. Jugh P. Farrell who was chairman of the Democratic committee of 1902 and liberally distributed railroad passes to speakers and candidates, and Colonel W. A. Harris a Chicago importation who is running for governor of the state Terrill is said to be very effective in this story of the wrongs perpetrated on him by the lean prison authority. He believes the state own him (77) for imprisonment and confinement at hard labor without due process of law. He has asked that suit be instituted for this amount and in the meantime he will try to convince Democrat audiences that Democrats ought to be elected so that murderers will not be worked so hard in the postcivil war. Mrs Burton is making little headway with her fight. She began by demanding cheaper books for the school children, but when she found that the state printer has made an investigation and cannot print the books she cheaply as they are now sold she changed her time and says she is fighting for the education of the little children." Her claim is already old. Parcelly Luthi Hardis and Harris continues to worry about how sorry he feels that he fought in the robber army. Col Harris has been forced to admit that he used railroad purses during his public career. But he says they didn't insure him. As we understand, a railroad corporation very public off-label or two usually without notice. Dave Overing now discusses the charge that he has the claim on political figures of the country "don't tell it so hard, Dave, save his friend." "You have company—the kind as City star." GOVERNOR MOCH CAUSES CONSTERNATION IN DEMOCRATIC CAMP. Replies to Charges Concerning Texts Book Commission. NO NEW BOOK CONTRACTS HAVE BEEN MADE BY THE PRESENT ADMINISTRATION. Democratic Managers Compelled to Abandon Another Trail. The Kansas City Star (Dem) has worn out two or three "issues" during this campaign, seeking one on which it might be possible to defeat Governor Hoch. The first issue tried and discarded was the enforcement of the prohibitory law. The next issue was that of the famous "Katy" suit. The Star continued to worry this worn-out ra, long after its Democratic followers in Kansas had given up the discussion and were looking for something which could be made to appear wrong The Democratic managers, with the assistance of Ella Burton, a stenographer who has changed places as often as she has learned the secrets of one employer which might be valuable to another, found the next "issue." This was school books and the state text book commission which apposes the books used in the schools of the state. Ella sent up a wall of anchors over "the wrongs of the little children of Kansas, inflicted by Governor Hoch and his text book commission." One would think to have listened to Ella that Governor Hoch had appointed a set of thugs and told them to hold up and rob children on route to school. The new "issue" pleased the Kansas City Star and with its usual lack of forewight it plunged headlong into the game without stopping to make an examination. Governor Hoch allowed the farce to proceed for two or three weeks and then issued a statement which has put this "issue" out of business and sent the Democrats to looking for another one In his statement issued in reply to the text book charge the governor merely cited a few facts. He called attention to the fact that the state text book commission has not had a meeting under his administration and that the books now in use in the public schools of the state are those adopted by the text book commission selected by Governor Bailey. The next meeting of the commission will not be held until next spring. The governor also declared that the state is getting as good books and getting these cheaper than neighboring states There are eight members of the state commission. The governor says they will compare favorably in honor, integrity and morally with any eight men on the staff of the Kansas City Star. The statement is clear and concise and has taken the wind out of Democratic sails. Meanwhile a search has begun for a new issue RECORD OF DEMOCRAT6. Some of the Proofs of Insincerity and Inconsistency. Col Hurts, of Chicago, Democratic candidate for Governor of Kansas, is keeping well away from the anti-pass plank of the Democratic platform recently. He has realized the utter in compliance of his position and fears that too absent an alarm on that issue will direct attention to the lamentable weakness of his own record. Col Hurts repeatedly held public office in Kansas during the days of his residence in this state but never did he owl a public office that he did not use railroad passes throughout his term. And that is not all. He did not quit using railroad passes until the Democratic state committee this year passed a resolution directing all Democratic candidates to pay railroad fare This is not the first campaign in which the Democrats have had an all pass plank in their state platform either. In 1902 the Democratic platform declared the railroad pass to be in "in millions of" and pledged the party to the abolition of the pass. Senator Harris was a candidate for reelection to the United States Senate and was one of the chief appealers of the Democratic campaign. Despite the anti-gay plank in his party platform HarrisCode on railroad passes throughout the 1902 campaign. II P Farrelly, now the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor and in 1902 chairman of the Democratic state committee and manager of the campaign, rode on a pass throughout the campaign Worse than that Although pledged to use the party machinery to abolish the pass, Farrelly used the state committee in 1902 as a sort of agency for the distribution of passes Every Democratic candidate for state office rode on passes throughout that campaign The passes were procured through Farrelly and the Democratic committee The until pass plank in the Democratic platform in 1902 was written by David Overmyer The same man wrote the anti pass plank this year, the plank meant nothing in 1903 Do it mean anything this year with a same set of folks who treated it as a joke in 1902 in control of the Democratic machinery? The burning need of the Kansas rate is a live issue which will explode while they are in the of handing it out to the people. The Peoples' Cafe PENMAN & WILSON. PROPRIETORS.

RECORD OF HARRIS RECORD OF HARRIS ALWAYS A SYMPATHIZER AND SUPPORTER OF RAILROADS. M. A. Keefer Unmaskes the Chicago Candidate for Governor. MESSRS FARRELLY AND RYAN ALSO RECEIVE ATTENTION FROM THE POPULIST LEADER. Bays Pretensions of Democratic Candidates Are Not Honest. Col. W. A. Harris, the Chicago man the democrat have nominated for governor of Illinois, is getting small comfort from his former populist allies. The populist have no use for Harris because he broke faith with and betrayed him in 1927 after he had used them to boost himself into the United States Senate. The public record of Col. Harris will receive no more severe excoriation during the campaign that it received in the letter of Horace A. Keefer in accepting the populist nomination for governor. Keefer's statements regarding the record of Harris are entitled to serious consideration for three reasons. Keefer and Harris were neighbors in Leavenworth county for years, they fought side by side politically in Leavenworth county in the '90's when the populists and democrats were allied and they served in the legislature together when Harris betrayed the populists by defending promised railroad legislation in order to bring about his own election as United States senator. In his letter accepting the populist nomination Keefer handled Harris without gloves and presented many proofs that Harris' present pretensions of reform principles are not honest. Mr. Keefer said in part: 'The democratic nominee, Col Harris, was called from Chicago, where he is guarding the railroad Cattle Dealers' association, the control of which he wrested from the real producers at the recent convention in Denver, the producers being compelled to form another association for their protection—by the very men who have always stood for railroad interests in the democratic party; and in accepting the nomination. Col. Harris named the men (Farrelly and Ryan) who, with him, were the most seafarers in defeating everything the fusion forces were pledged to and had promised the people in 1896. They are the trio who are responsible for the delivery of the populist and democratic Senate of 1897 to the railroad lobby. The Harris railroad bill was in the interest of those corporations, and was conceived at Col. Harris' home before the legislature convened, and was dictated by Elithu Robinson, attorney for the Missouri Pacific railroad company of western Missouri. "Col. Harris now states that the railroad issue is not paramount in this campaign. He is consistent in this because it never has been a paramount issue with him. He makes a two cent car fare the Mecca to attract the unsuplicious, yet as state senator he would not consent to any bill giving relief from excessive freight rates, and he now contends that his action was justified. "The Kansas farmer who has corn, wheat and live stock to put on the market, should have a 25 per cent reduction in freight rates to the Missouri river, and this should be urged in our campaign. This reduction would save every farmer owning 100 acres of land at least $200 per year; if he rode a 400 mile trip to Kansas City, a two-cent fare would save him $4, and it would take 50 such trips to make the saving equal to the reduction in his freight rates." KEYNOTE MISSING. Democratic Candidate Refrains From Indicating His Position. Newspaper representatives have been trying for some time past to induce Harris, of Chicago, to make a plain, open statement of his position on the enforcement of the prohibitory law for publication. Col. Harris will not make the statement requested, lasted he says he made his position plain in his Fort Scott speech. It will perhaps be remembered that Col. Harris failed to furnish the press with orgins of his Ft. Scott speech and that the democratic committee has failed to have copies of the speech circulated. Who knows just what Col. Harris said about the prohibitory law at Fort Scott? Why should he be aware to restating his position? It is because he knows that he can not make a statement on the prohibitory question that will please his prohibition supporters in some regions and also please his "illegal" backers in other localities? COUNSELS TREASON. David Overmyer Wants Republicans to Commit the Error. Republicans should not fall to remember what David Overmyer has stated as his opinion of the party man who votes other than his party ticket. In his Kansas City speech Overmyer said: "The democrat who falls to vote the democratic ticket is not a democrat but a traitor to his party." Still Overmyer bases his only hope of election as attorney general on the deluded idea that he can induce a great number of republicans to become traitors to their party.

The following from the pen of one Dennis Thompson is an outrage and does not speak the sentiments of the Negroes of Kansas; "There seems to exist a great deal of misapprehension among the people throughout the state in regard to the separate school question. Many are of the opinion that there is a spirit of resistance among the negroes in the matter of the separation of the two races in the schools. There is a strong belief among the whites that every negro will oppose any legislation looking towards separate schools, but this is unfair and tends to work an injustice to the race, when it is considered that there are negroes all through Kansas who have the same feeling of race pride that any other people have. The negro today is not a great deal unlike other people, in that he feels best when he is doing for himself; every time he accomplishes something for himself he feels the batter for it, because he realizes that he is the one avenue through which self-dependence comes. The separation of the races in the schools means side recognition of the negro's services, since more negro schools would mean more negro teachers, a fact which all intelligent negro are compelled to appreciate, because it is true that negro teachers would not be employed in mixed schools where white teachers would be available. Negroes who view the matters from the proper standpoint are unaware in favor of separate schools, for they recognize that so long as they have unwelcome association there will not be much progress educationally. "There can be no question that the separate school system where the negro population exceeds 25 per cent would work a great advantage to both races in Kansas, providing the facilities for negro education would be as adequate as for the whites. I don't believe that the last is too good for any people, since we cannot hope to produce the highest class of citizenship and support an inferior system of training for part of the people. The negro will not develop into a good citizen any more than other people of his own accord, but to make good citizens there must be encouragement, there must be some tendency to uplift, instead of so much bitter discrimination as is practiced against the negro. "When we come to consider the disadvantages wrought through the prejudicial relations existent in the mixed school it is easy to discern how much greater the percentage of progress would be in the education of both races in the separate school where more congenial association could be had, both in study and in recreation" A.
