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.

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.

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.

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. H. W. White, of Topeka, Kans. Rev. Geo. W. Lee, of Washington, D. C., was the largest man in the convention, weighing nearly 400 pounds. Rev. T. J. 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. Kansas City, Mo., was the third choice for Training School. Chas. Stewart, the great Negro reporter, kept the daily papers. LOCAL AND PERSONAL. Prof J. R. Gloster and family, Mr. Peoples and wife, Mesdames Wm. Winfield and Lizzie Clairborne, of Brownsville, Tenn., were the guests of Mrs S. Taylor during the convention. Miss G. H.

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.

LODGE is doing for the Knights of Pythias in Missouri what no man has been able to do for any other fraternal organization in the West among Negroes. Dr. J. 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.

Prof. J, Silas Harris, principal of the Penn school, regent of the Negro State University, and the best known man in the West in political circles, has united with the order, as, also, has his son, J. 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. Houston, prominent young druggists, are making many friends for the order among the young people. Profm. A. M. Wison, J. F. Talton and Tillman, all young educators, are most busily engaged in extending the influence of the order. W. Frederick Fairfax, the Harry Lehr and society leader among the Negroes of Kansas City, a man whose presence is ever necessary at every social function, is a strong advocate of the Knights of Pythias and a member of the John Lange Lodge No. 66.

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. Mesers. 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. rues. 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.

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 Meetsa 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. If a Negro attempts to sit in this public park, he is subject to arrest. We are sorry to announce the death of Miss Birdie Wytkins, who departed this life 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 1st 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. H. W. White, of Topeka, Kans. Rev. Geo. W. Lee, of Washington, D. C., was the largest man in the convention, weighing nearly 400 pounds. Rev. T. J. 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. Chas. Stewart. the great Megro reporter, kept the daily papers. LOCAL AND PERSONAL. Prof J. R. Gloster and family, Mr. Peoples and wife, Mesdames Wm.

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: LORTSVILLE, KY., 9-22, '06. MISS WILLA L. SMITH, Topeka Kas, 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 de lightful. 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 nice 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 Beecher 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.

WOOD Bailer First published September 28th '06. A WEALTHY K. P. LODGE is doing for the Knights of Pythias in Missouri what no man has been able to do for any other fraternal organization in the West among Negroes. Dr. J. 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. Prof Richard T. Coles, principal of the famous garrison school and father of manual training in the public schools of Kansas City, a leader of the Masonic fraternity of Missouri. is numbered among the new champions of the Knights of Pythias. Prof. Riley W. Foster, principal of the Douglass school and a leading citizen of Kansas City, has cast his lot with the order. Prof. J, Silas Harris, principal of the Penn school, regent of the Negro State University, and the best known man in the West in political circles, has united with the order, as, also, has his son, J. 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 organisations, 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. Houston, prominent young druggists, are making many friends for the order among the young people. Profn. A. M. Wisson, J. F. Talton and Tillman, all young educators, are most busily engaged in extending the influence of the order. W. Frederick Fairfax, the Harry Lehr and society leader among the Negroes of Kansas City, a man whose presence is ever necessary at every social function, is a strong advocate of the Knights of Pythias and a member of the John Lange Lodge No. 66. In addition to the above, mazy of the prominent lawyers, doctors, merchants, business men and day laborers may be found in the new John Lange Lodge No. 66.

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.
