THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. VOLUME VIII. Rev. Abram Grant Deplores Recent Outrages In Atlanta and Discusses the Causes. Bishop Abraham Grant, of Kansas City, Kans, who is here to preside over the Kansas conference of the A. M. E. church, was asked last night, as a leader of his race, for his opinion in regard to the race conflict just ended at Atlanta, Ga. The bishop weighing his words with much care and deliberation, said: "I am surprised beyond expression at such an incident occurring. I lived in that city four years and am satisfied that some of the best people in the country, both white and colored reside there. There are four institutions for higher education of colored people and one theological seminary to train ministers. There is considerable wealth and many own homes among our people and I thought it was the last place in the South where the people could be wrought up to the point where they would indulge in the methods mentioned by the Associated Press dispatches. "I am heartily sorry at the occurrence for several reasons. First, it will cause many of the colored people to sacrifice their belongings, which they have been years accumulating, and move to other sections and commence life over, and it will discourage many others and keep them in a state of unrest. Still others will live in a state of dread and fear, where such conditions exist, and I do not believe it possible to develop brave, fearless and all round Americans where they are conceived, born and reared under such influences, and this is the kind of people America ought to take pride in rearing for usefulness in years to come. "Again, the example in Atlanta will influence other places of less importance and they will attempt to follow and the Almighty alone can tell where these troubles will end. "The horrible crime of Springfield's lynching of three innocent men and the murder of three men in the custody of the court at Salisbury, N. C., are fresh in our minds and now to receive this news from Atlanta is sufficient to make one apprehensive as to the future of the nation." "What about the conduct of Negroes attacking white women?" "Every decent colored man in the country is in favor of making the law for all such cases just as rigid as possible and the enforcement of the same. It is anarchy and lawlessness that we fear. It is difficult for some of us to believe that all the cases being reported are true: if so, American civilization is in some way at fault. "While on Burmuda islands I learned that there were 10,000 Negroes and 5,000 whites in that small country and no one had ever heard of the unmentionable crimes, so often reported in our country, being committed, nor had a lynching ever taken place. In Barbadoes there were 117,000 Negroes and 17,000 whites and at Freetown, Sierra Leon on the west coast of Africa are 30,000 civilized natives and 1,000 whites and what is true on the Bermuda is also true of Barbadoes and Freetown. Now, is under American civilization, the negro is worse than under any other, kindly tell me who is responsible? However, be that as it may, I do not wish to say one word to agitate and intensify the feeling, for I think too much of what has been done already. I believe the speeches made in Georgia and the abuse indulged in by the speakers with reference to the disenfranchisement of the Negro in the last twelve months has bad much to do with preparing the participants for the conduct of Saturday, evening. I fully agree with the Christian Advocate, published in Nashville, Tenn., by the M. E. church, South, in the following: "Antagonism of the races in the South will work untold harm to both but the greater harm to the weaker. Anything that separates the people south in feeling, purpose or sympathy should not be sadulged in Friendly relations and mutual happiness are of first importance to both races. We must live side by side in this country and should be neighbors." For this reason every man owes it to himself to locate where he can earn a living and when he has earned it, receive reasonable compensation for the same; to reside where he can give his children the vory best advantages of an education that they may be useful to God, humanity and themselves; to live and die where he can enjoy his right of franchise, guaranteed by his government and last, where, if he has occasion to come before the courts of the land he may enjoy the opinion that even justice will be meted out to all alike." Mr. Guy Writes of Of the three annual meetings of the National Negro Business League I have attended, the one recently held at Atlanta, Ga., in my judgment, was the most successful and potent for good. Those who have attended every meeting since its organization say the same. One can not appreciate the marvelous success of this organization and the great results it has accomplished without appreciating the greatness of Dr. Booker T. Washington and the men who have been associated with him in this work, from the time the league was organized in Boston to the present time. The men, each the highest type of success in their respective vocations, are inspiring ambition and self confidence in our people by their individual lives, and by the perfection of the great school of commercial learning, which in its character of and capacity for work is the peer of any similar organization in the country. The attendance was larger and more enthuiastic than ever. On the night of the president's annual address, every foot of seating and standing space in Big Bethel was taken, the crowd extending to the middle of the street on two sides of the church. On this occasion, Mr. Washington broke his own record. The manner in which he captured the audience was remarkable. Atlanta is the Athens of the colored people of the United States, as well as the home of five of Washington's strongest opponents. The audience was composed of a representative number of followers of each opponent. It being a very warm and sultry evening, the audience was at first very noisy and restless, to such an extent that when the president began his address he could not be heard distinctly half way to the rear of the room. He spoke low at first, but with such force that before he had talked very long the audience was quiet, afterwards, and save for the frequent outbursts of applause not a sound could be heard except the speaker's voice. Every phase of the perplexing problems of today was discussed more fully and fairly than ever before. The address was climaxed by the story of a wounded Negro soldier whose death had been pronounced by the attending surgeon to be very near, offering to bet the army chaplain his last $5.00 that he would get well. When the speaker made it applicable by offering himself to bet $5.00 that the colored race would get well, the outburst of applause was so great that the walls of Big Bethel almost shook. The applause was continued for possibly fifteen minutes and end. CONTINUED ON PAGE 8. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 5, 1906. THE A. M. E. CONFERENCE! Hutchinson Royally Entertains One of the Grandest Religious Organizations in the World. KANSAS WELCOMES HER FAVORITE SON BIRTH PLACE LEAVING COLLEGE ORATOR REGISTER OF U.S. TREASURY REGISTRAR W. T. VERNON opened the Republican campaign at Hutchinson last week and was greeted by several thousand enthusiastic people. The thirty-first session of the Kansas Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Church convened at Hutchinson last Wednesday, Bishop Abram Grant presiding. There were over two hundred ministers, laymen and general officers present. Presiding Elder J. R. Ransom, of the Fort Scott district, delivered the annual sermon to an appreciative audience. Rev. B. R. Guy, of Arkansas City, Kas., was re elected secretary; Rev. J. F. C. Taylor, clerk. The various committees were appointed, after which the conference settled down to business. This conference had the largest number of visitors, ministers and laymen, ever had in its history. The reports from the different churches and presiding elder districts showed great gain in finance and membership. Over $3,506.70 was collected during the past year, and something like 786 members added to the church. The conference closed on Sunday night. So large was the attendance that the session was compelled to be held in the convenient auditorium at the Fair ground, which comfortably seated the crowds; and every one was perfectly satisfied, having nothing but words of praise for the good citizens of Hutchinson, for the manner in which they entertained this conference. The people were very hospitable and threw open their doors to the public who were entertained as never before. Much credit is due Rev. J. P. Howard, the minister in charge, for the efforts put forth in making this, the first conference at Hutchinson, a success. Although, as the congregation is quite small, it seemed it would be very hard to handle such a large delegation, these people handled this conference with as much ease, if not easier, than the Kansas City people last year. There were several distinguished representatives of the church present, as well as visitors. Drn. H. B. Parks, of New York City, B. F. Watson, of Philadelphia, general officer; Mrs. R. M. Collett of the Publishing House at Philadelphia and also the Christian Recorder, and Mrs. E. M. Carter, representing a Southern publishing house, were present. These two ladies said that they had collected more money at the Kansas conference than at any other they had visited; that the ministers seemed to be happy, and had plenty of money to pay for their papers and books. One of the greatest Negroes of the race was present at the conference, in the person of Rev. Chas. Steward, who is a representative of the Associated Press, and who sends the news broadcast over the world, as to the progress being made by the Negroes, Mr. Steward is a scholar and a gentleman, highly educated and cultured. There were a few transfers from other conferences. One of the most distinguished visitors was Prof. W. T. Vernon, Registrar of the United States Treasury. He is a friend we are always glad to greet. He addressed the conference in behalf of Western University, and on the progress of the race. Also, Prof. Shelton French, acting President of Western University, was present and addressed the conference. He is doing much to keep the University in the front ranks. Resolutions were passed endorsing the able and Christian administration of Bishop Grant, who has made one of the best bishops the Fifth Episcopal District has ever had. The ministers, delegates and visitors give a great ovation to the name of Bishop Grant when the committee on resolutions reported the love and affection and high esteem in which he was held by his people. Resolutions were passed endorsing the leaders of the A. M. E. Church and other men of the race. Also, resolutions of thanks to Rev. J. P. Howard and the members of his church and the committee of ladies who furnished meals at the auditorium for the ministers. The Conference adjourned to meet at Parsons, Kansas, in 1907. The following ladies, who are members of the Stewardess Board of the A. M. E. church of Hutchin son, Kansas, are to be commended for the manner in which thay cared for the ministers and delegates, and the good, wholesome food furnished which was plentiful and enjoyed by all who partook of it: Pres. Mrs. M. A. Taylor, Mcdames A. H. Brock, G. Brugage, N. McCalups, M. Jackson, G. Gothard, F. Mo Guire, K. Gothard, G. White, T. M. Reaves and Mrs. E. McDaniels. Prof. W. Vernon addressed an audience of over 4,000 at the auditorium on Saturday night. It was the opening of the Republican campaign at Hutchinson. He held the audience spellbound for an hour and a quarter, during which time he dwelt upon all the issues of the nation and the state, and the people were much benefitted and enlightened on the Panama canal, the tariff question, the railroad and every other issue in which the American people are involved. He called the attention of our people to the fact that it was not consistent to vote for rebel Democrats now, when in other portions, such as Georgia, Alabama, etc., those same rebels were skooing Negroes down like dogs. After his speech, several were heard to say that from now on they would advocate Republicanism and that he had prevented them from voting for Harris. County Attorney K. U. Brown, chairman of the County Central Committee, called the meeting to order and introduced Rev. H. B. Parks, Gen. Missionary of the A. M. K. church, as chairman of the meeting, who in turn introduced Prof. Vernon to the audience. In Dr. Parks' introductory remarks he mentioned many things of interest to the Republican party and also to the American people. He is an orator of great ability and when he once puts his whole soul and mind into an argument, it is telling and convincing. He was several times applauded for the courageous remarks made. Both at the conference and at the meeting Saturday night, the white people were in attendance in large numbers. Hon. W. W. Fisher, of the Governor's office, was in attendance at the conference. He is one of the leading orators of the state and is touring the state in the interest of the Republican party, doing much good. He was elected with Rev. J. R. Runsom as trustee of Western University. The citizens of Hutchinson vied with one another in entertaining the visitors. There were several very pleasant parties and dinners given for the many visitors present. We must say that we met more wealthy farmers and independent colored people than we have met at any one gathering in the state. They were from Sterling, Lyons, Great Bond, St. John and other localities within a radius of fifty miles of Hutchinson. They all looked prosperous and happy, with plenty of money, well dressed, intelligent, beautiful women, who cannot be surpanned in any community. There is no doubt that the colored people in this portion of the country are more of them in a better condition than any other community in the state. Mrs. B. B. Perkerson, of 504 W. 13th, who is one of the most highly cultured ladies and owns one of the most beautiful homes in Hutchinson, entertained some of the young people at five o'clock, four course dinner on Sunday afternoon. Mrs. Perkerson has an accomplished young daughter, Miss Ona, who is the pride of the family, and little master Ulysses of eight months, who promises to rule the household. The following persons were present at the dinner and enjoyed the hostilities of the Perkinson home: Messrs. Will Fogg of Wichita, H. G. Wickliff. Fred Madison, Waller OCFINIUED ON PAGE 7. ١٠٠٠ NUMBER 39. Kansas White Man Couldn't Bear the Inhuman Scene and Was Glad to Get Away. From the Arkansas City Daily Traveller. Arthur Hoffman, son of J. F. Hoffman, who is traveling with Al G. Field's minstrels, was in Atlanta during the most exciting period of the recent race war. He writes to his father very entertainingly of the incident from Nashville, Tenn., and in substance as follows: "I suppose you have read in the papers all about the race riot in Atlanta. It was simply awful and I send you an Atlanta paper telling you about it. You can't imagine how bad it was unless you were there. You read of a lynching and you think it bad enough, but last night—Sept. 22—they killed twenty innocent Negroes, just because they were black. They did not shoot many, but killed them with knives, clubs and boards. It all happened in the down town districts. There were thousands of people thronging the streets. The mobs appeared to be make up of boys from 16 to 20 years of age, of toughs, of laborers and drunks. The sidewalks were lined with well dressed men and women who cheered and laughed when the mob caught a Negro. The police made no effort to quell the riot, but when they got a chance to hit a Negro, they would club him to death. "I saw five Negroes killed and the last one they literally cut to pieces. Then they jumped on him and trampled him. Before they were stopped several of the men cut their initials in his back. This was too much for me and I went to the car. I had been there about five minutes when I heard shouts and cries of the mob. Looking out I saw they had caught a Negro and were killing him. The body was still lying by the track when our car pulled out. The mob called about twenty Negroes that night. I was up town about 3 o'clock in the morning and I saw 12 bodies of Negroes lying in the streets. The military got out at this time and made the people get off of the streets but the killing was about over. The mob even dragged Negro women off the street cars and beat them with clubs. Then they would make them run the howling mob after them throwing stones, etc., while the better class of people stood on the sidewalks and applauded. "It did not appear half so bad to me last night as today when I think it over. I was in the crowd while it was all happening last night and you can bet I didn't say anything about how terrible it was or about being from the north. "I didn't put up any argument against their action. I was afraid of being killed if I didn't agree with them. When the crowd chased a Negro I followed but kept well to the rear. "The Negroes who work on our car were in hilling in the "possum belly" and they escaped injury. I was glad when we left Atlanta and began getting into a country where I could feel safe. We visited Colorado several days ago and spent time in Colo. Springs, Pueblo and Denver. It seemed to us that a complete transformation had been accomplished, on coming from Tennessee to Colorado. The difference was as great as between hell and heaven. After we visited Memple, the following week we visited the Rocky Mountain state, and to find such a difference between the people and their conditions was almost bewildering—and all on the same continent, under the same constitution and one flag. While we found a bunch of ignorance, superstition and retrogression in the Soathland, it was just the reverse in Colorado, where we found wealth, intelligence, culture, refinement, and love and respect of the rights of others. We did not hear any thing of Jim-Crow laws of any sort in Colorado. All races seem to go along in one sphere; that is, each and every one goes about his daily vocation, without a chip on his shoulder for his fellow man. Every one is made to feel that he is entitled to all the rights and benefits that another has, providing he in a law abiding citizen, and he gets just that in Colorado. We found the colored people progressing in Colorado Springs, buying more homes, already owning considerable property and there are several colored people on ranches of from two to five hundred acres, and doing nicely. This is one of the finest cities in the world and has the broadest streets and is the cleanest city, the alleys, sidewalks and streets being perfectly clean and almout equal to some parlors in the houses. With their beautiful residences and fine business blocks, with Pike's Peak in the distance, capped with snow, with the fine waters of Manitou Springs—all this makes it the more perfect. There are no saloons, no houses of illfame, no gambling dens, and we must say that we did not hear a man curse another, during our three days stay in the city. If we had the choice of living anywhere we wished, all our lives, there would be no hesitation in choosing Colorado Springs. We met our old friend, Mrs. Julia Emery, who is doing well. We visited Pueblo, and found it a thriving city. This is the home of several prosperous Kansans; and, by the way, we must say the Topeka and Kansas folk in Colorado Springs are prospering and doing well. We found in Pueblo Rev. David Overr, in charge of the First Baptist church. He has a fine, intelligent, well to do congregation and they are proud of him as he is of them. We were glad to visit the Annual Conference of the A. M. E. Church, and found there Rev. J. C. C. Owens and wife, who are enjoying good health and assisting in building up Christianity in that city. Rev. Owens is in charge of St John A. M. E. church, which he has recently erected at a cost of $4,600, which is one of the most beautiful churches in the city of Pueblo. It has a parsonage in connection and the balance due on all is only $600. He will lead the Colorado delegation to the next General Conference. We also met our old time friend, J. J. Jennings, one of the pioneers of Kansas. He is one of the leading politicians of that state, and was the first colored man to hold a position in the State Legislature of Colorado. He is a lover of good horse and owns one of the finest little trotters in the city. Pueblo is the home of Hon. W. B. Townsend, who is reputed to be one of the best criminal lawyers in the West. They say that he is a vigorous defendant in any case entrusted to his care. Mr. Townsend enlightened the people considerably on what the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution means, and it is worth the while of any audience to hear him on that subject. The Hatcher Bros., who are old time Kansans, are conducting a fine barber shop, pool hall and cigar stand, are doing good business and working plenty of money. The colored people are beginning to engage in businesses in the town. They have a grocery store and a few boarding houses and restaurants and saloons. Cottry and Cunningham are two young, prosperous colored men, who own good property, conducting a barber shop, restaurant and club room, and making money. B. W. Shelden conducts a fine rooming house at 210 Lampkin St., three blocks from the Union Depot at which, also, he is gate keeper. He is a fine business man, and is doing much to help solve the problem. We are compelled to say that we never saw so many young babies in one place in the past year, as we saw at Pueblo, at this conference. There were over fifty young babies present at the services on Sunday. All were looking fine and happy, with prosperous parents, who are carrying out the Roosevelt idea. The women in Colorado seem to have the lead in making money. They can from $1.50 to $2.00 per day and you can always find them with plenty of money. There is plenty of work to do and they are industrious. We found in Pueblo at the steel works a large number of colored people employed. There is a large class of young colored men who idle away part of the time and use the proceeds of the rest in riotous living. They should get busy, save money and become responsible men. The day of hoodlumism is passing away, or should be for the Negro, as the white people in the South seem to be taking up this vocation. We visited Denver and are compelled to admit that while this is a large, busy city, where everyone yet the colored women seem to do most of the work in the town. The Negroes have considerable business: One undertaking establishes, two drug stores, two newspaper offices with job printing attached. The Denver Stateman and The Colorado Statemen. We found Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Rivers doing a nice business with the Colorado Statemen, both with the paper and in the job department. Mr. Rivers takes the lead in politics in that city and can always be heard from. Mrs. Rivers is a Kansas girl and an accomplished lady, destined to be one of the best newspaper writers in the country. Our friend Franklin, of the Denver Stateman, has a fine job office in connection with his paper, and is getting more work than he can possibly do. He is a bright young man, intelligent, and is rapidly forging to the front. Both of the paper men own good property, which shows that they are prosperous. There are, too, barbershops and restaurants, fine ones, owned by colored people, and two as nice cafes as you would wish to see anywhere. From the way some of the young people spend their money, people would think there were several colored millionaires in the city. They say it is nothing strange to see a party of four or six spend ten to thirty five dollars for a supper. If there same folks would take the advice of THE PLAINDEALER, and put part of that money into business or real estate, or educate themselves and cultivate some of that good land in Colorado, they would be much better off. We found over twenty six of our young men working at the Denver Club, one of the largest social institutions in the West, among whom were our friends Mr. Wm. Brashers, Carey, Hamilton, Wicks and Rice. They get $17.00 per month as salary and all extras. If they would bind themselves together, saving their money, and open up a Gent's Furnishing and Shoe Store, placing the one of most experience in such work in charge, they would soon get rich. Thincity is the headquarters of the Elks of the Western country and the home of Deputy Grand Exalted Huler Huce. We met our relative and friend, Jno. Chiles, who is doing well and saving his money, contemplating buying property in the city in the near future. We had the pleasure of meeting our friends, Mr. Miller and many who are doing nicely and own their own home. Mrs. Ed. Miller, Will Parks and Mr. Still have opened a fine clothes cleaning establishment and pantatorium. It is in one of the best portions of the city, where they get all the business they can do. Mrs. Miller has had considerable experience, as also Mr. Parks, and there is no reason why they should not succeed. One of the best boarding houses in Denver is conducted by Mrs. Nannie King and her mother, Mrs. Watkins. This is where the people may go who wish to get something good to eat, plenty of it and all first class and served in style. Mrs. King and her mother are undoubtedly the finest caterers to be found anywhere. They were formerly of Topeka, having lived here for many years while Rev. Watkins, deceased, was minister in Topeka. Their many friends in Topeka and Kansas are glad to know they are doin well The only disgusting thing appearing to us in Denver was the army of young crapshooters. We are sorry to say it, but it is nevertheless true that there are more young Negroes in the crapshooting business in Denver than in any other three cities in the United States. They seem to make this their chief vocation and we are told that they depend upon the women to furnish the money for them to shoot with. If there were any way to eradicate this evil, just sapping the very life of the young people of this country, especially in Denver, it should be checked at once. We are told that on the west end of the U. P. railroad running into Denver, where there were twelve porters, there are now but four, owing to their disgusting habits, which have caused them to be replaced with white men. Another class seem to indulge in cocaine and opium, and this is any other evil the Negro has to contend with. We found the old settlers prospering and those who have control over their children the same, but those who have gone there mixing with all classes are going from bad to worse. We are proud, however, that most of the Topeka and Kansas The Peoples' Cafe PENMAN & WILSON, PROPRIETORS. An ideal place to get a nice meal or short order.

Townsend and Mrs. Finley, who is lying at the point of death. She is now in her 80th year. On the Overland route to Denver we were carried through the country past thousands of acres of unoccupied land which people can home stead by paying the government $16 and living on it five years, or preempting at $1.25 per acre. There is yet some land in western Kansas and thousands of acres in Colorado, waiting to be taken up by some industrious people who can irrigate and get rich upon the products. Since the government has ordered the cattlemen off, the land is fast being taken up by white men, and we are convinced that the Southern Negro who does not care to live under oppression the remainder of his life, may and should get hold of this land. REFORMING BAD NEGROES The duty of the young student Negro, in fact his mission in life, is to the recent race riots in Atlanta well emphasize, to work for the formation and uplift of his weaker and discouraged brother, "The bad Negro." The bad Negro belongs to us, we have more influence and power over him than others. He is the one who precipitates all race trouble in which the better class always suffer the greatest. What makes the bad Negro? Discrimination in labor, civil and political ostracism, injustice in courts of law, and, consequently, loss of hope for the impartial and just administration of government are his just grievances. The laws, customs and practices prevailing and increase g in extent do not encourage the young Negro to be decent or remain decept and the only alternate left is to resist these wrongs, which dubs him "the bad Negro." Is this not natural? Study the history of the white race in England, in American colonies and elsewhere when unjustly imposed upon. In many southern papers we read much about the protection of white women even to defying the constituted authorities of law, slaughtering and pillaging innocent, non-offending Negroes. Does not this encourage the decent and peaceful Negro to become a "bad Negro? Crime grown by what it feed upon. We applaud the noble utterance of the southern white man to die in protection of his women, and we applaud the same in the young Negro to so likewise in the protection of not only his women but all women. The Negro trust during the civil war while the masters were away fighting to keep him longer in slavery was not betrayed, nor is his trust today where in many southern homes he stands as the faithful servant between the lone woman and danger. The southern white man respects because of her color, the Negro because of her sex. The moment the southern white man learns that a drop of Negro blood courses through the veins of any woman he chances to meet, no matter how intelligent nor how lady like, down go theirs that surround any other lady with the respect and courtesy due from every man to every womat for the reason of her sex. He feels that he has an open license to issult, assault and torment her to his hearts's content, with impunity. The tolerated immoralities and consensual concubage are too well known to all who have ever lived in the South land. When a Negro goes to a court of justice to seek redress on account of these wrongs he is given the "Horse Laugh." Right here is where the white people harbor and defend their criminals, and thus teach the Negro by example to do likewise. This double standard os morals existing in the South that will be stow a laurel wreath upon the head of a southern white man, and make him gifts yf valuable property for killing a Negro who insults a white woman, respectable or not respectable; and that will lynch, hang or burn a young Negro for killing a white man who insults a Negro woman, respectable or not respectable, such a standard is not conducive to INSURED?

When the Southern white man can out grow those her tages of slavery to the extent that he will recognize the basic causes, publish the true condition just ahead of concealing them and accord justice, respect and encouragement to Negroes who are striving to be decent and respectable, then the young student Negro will find that his work, his mission in reforming and uplifting the "Bad Negro" will be much more responsive to his united, constant efforts.

Ministers, please notify delegates. JOHN E. LEWIS. State See'y. Is Thompson Crazy The following from the pen of one Deanis Thompson is an outrage and does not speak the sentiments of the Negroes of Kansas; "There seems to exist a great deal of inisapprehension 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 better for it, because he realizes that it is the one avenue through which self-dependence comes. The separation of the races in the schools means wide recognition of the negro's services, since more negro schools would mean more negro teachers, a fact which all intelligent negros 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 matter from the proper standpoint are unanimously 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 best 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." --- THE PLAINDEALER PUB.

FRIDAY, OCT. 3, 1906 KANSAS THRIFT In 1807, the National Negro Business Men's League and The Western Negro Press Association will meet in Topeka. This will mean much to the Negroes of the entire state. So much has been written and said of both organ zations that whatever we might say would be but reiteration. The National Negro Business Men's Association is perhaps the most remarkable and strongest among our people. Conceived in the fertile brain of the race's greatest constructive statesman, Booker T. Washington, it is doing a wonderful work in the bringing out of colored men engaged in business enterprises; and arousing among the masses an interest in, and a devotion to, the business men of our people. Until this movement was inaugurated, we knew nothing of the Negro business man in the aggregate. We only thought of him as the isolated instances of Negro daring, that tended to incite ridicule rather than serious thought. But, in the years that this organization has been meeting and discussing our commercial possibilities and submitting interesting tables of statistics, showing our financial increase year by year, there is growing up, all over this broad land, among our people a firm belief that the Negro can be something besides a "bewer of wood and a drawer of water." A Work For All. In the past the PLAINDEALER has had much to say of the energy and ability of Kansas and Western Negroes. We have an abiding faith in their ability to do. The coming of The National Negro Business Men's League and The Western Negro Press Association to Topeka in 1907, will bring a host of guests, not only for Topekeans, but to our people of the West. The care and entertaining of these visitors gives plenty of work for all. None need to be idle. And the only way to insure that degree of success, which please only Kansas and Westerners, is to begin at once, and to case working only when the last guest leaves next September. Our representative at Atlanta, Mr. Guy, and our representative at Colorado Springs, Mr. Chiles, made great promises of what our people would do if Topeka was selected for the next place of meeting. Now let us get to work at once and see to it that the promises made by our representatives are carried out to the letter. A Specimen of the Wist. Three years ago two Kansas boys began in a rented livery stable, a modest business. When they opened their doors for business everything they had was bought on credit. From the start, they gave to their business close and unflagging attention. They took the best of care of the horses and buggies left with them. They insisted that their patrons should have prompt and courteous attention. As a result, they have prospered, and today, they have just completed in Kansas City, one of the finest and most complete boarding and stable stables in the West. It is built on their own ground. It is a beautiful stone building of one story and basement, one hundred and twenty long by forty six feet wide and will accommodate when furnished next horse. They have three new hacks and plenty of buggies, and the place is electric lighted and everything is modern and up to date. They employ five people with a weekly pay roll of over fifty dollars. These men are Fred. D. Gleed and J. W. Jones, and they belong to the class of men who will help make the August 1907 meeting a marked success The Kansas Conference of the A.M. E. Church has been in session at Hutchinson the past week. It has been a most harmonious gathering, and under the wise guidance of the venerable Bishop Grant has done much for the Church in Kansas. ALLEN IS BETTER THAN PAGE "Rhymes, Tales and Rhymed Tales," a neat volume of one hun. dred and fifty three pages from the pen of Mr. Junius Mordecal Allen, appeared last week. The book was bound and printed by Crane & Co., and is a tasty specimen of the printer's art. Here in Tepeka where Mr. Allen is so well known it is almost unnecessary to speak of the author. Surface it to say that, after teaching the junior year in the Tepeka High school he quitted that institution of learning and matriculated at Bromicha's foundry down in the bottoms, where for the past twelve years, he has been pursuing an entirely different branch of study. Hammering rivets and punching holes in steel might well be considered as the very antithesis of writing poetry, and, indulged in by most men, would have a tendency to drive out any poetical sentiment they possessed. Not so with Allen. It was food for him and while the anvil rung and the rhythmic clangor of the punching machine sounded in his ears, his brain was actively at work constructing the outlines of some of his most pleasing verse. If Mr. Allen lacks anything in his make up as a writer it is a mite of sentiment. I say if he lacks it: I do not say he does but if he does his environment has produced that lack and it is for him to question and decide. The writer of this has only words of praise for what is contained within the lids of the little volume. All of it is good, a part especially meritorious and some could not have been done better by any writer the country has produced. Take for instance the story of "Rhoda" which, for pathos, sustained interest and grinding human tragedy can well stand among the best. The author's alleged lack of sentiment does not appear here and I am tempted to go back and out out the paragraph above. "Llhoda" is a type of womankind that makes a man's heart ache to contemplate. Unselfish, and yet she was selfish in that she would sacrifice all for the one her heart years for. Here is a blind, passionate devotion that had its birth not on this earth but somewhere from whence come those tender mysteries which characterize womenkind and differentiate them from the sterner sex. "Rhoda" is a story which lingers; it haunts one's memory. It is a mad, low, chord in the Mererere of life. One reads to the end and pauses for a time to sigh over the fact that this world is not the playground alone for humanity, but oftimes the theatre for stern, tragical, experience. "The Psalm of the Uplift," the first piece in the book, is a beautiful bit of verse and epitomizes the struggle of one reaching forth after bitter things. The last verse could well be taken as a motto by the colored race and embellished on its banners in words of light. And shall we strive, the worst one full subsist of stamms Are given to the fairest god The good of things as they should be The building, nay, its outsides to do And dare and be and not to flinch To enter where is hideful To win to stride from sheer defeat To lift, lifting a much "The Thirteenth Man" is a weird tale with a touch of love at the end. It displays the author's versatility and illustrates his admirable "technique." And right here it may be well to state that Mr. Allen is thoroughly wedded to his art. His refreshing originality admits of no second hand goods. Experience is the ruling with him and hence his pictures are painted from life. To get local color he will go to great lengths and is extremely daring in the pursuit of his purpose. "The Thirteenth Man" is the antipode of "The Elder from Arkensaw" each illustrating entirely different phases of Afro-American life and yet both showing the deft touch of a master band. Dunbar has praised Thos. Nelson Page's Negro dialect in the highest terms. To most of us the fact that he is a caricaturist detracts some what from his work in dialect. Take Page at his best he cannot surpass Mr. Allen in dialect for the latter's is absolutely correct and true to life. "The Coming of the Nap" is a delicious bit of humorous verse, which runs along in such a tantalizing way depicting the different stages of mind of an old Negro trying to resist a characteristic temptation, that one really gets sleepy out of sympathy. The robin, the cool shade on the blue grass, the buzzing fly, exercise a hypnotic, soporific effect that is soothing and restful: "I'll be fly or breeze round me Ik he a sleepin' as he flies Jeser buzin' hisah on dar 'Bout ergine enjoy what Fa de me' I listen ter him Why - do sandier mah eyes, he no' I m in de notion O' dat robin bird's advice Ter pos pono hoin' tuters 'Tell doon bergins ter drap, En chest dat bl in holness In one long and joyful nap." "The Brown Skin Girl" is a fine bit of sentiment—a sweet little lyric filled to the brim with rare poetic feeling: Cant you see her and the lover's distracted air and his adoring eye? "Counting Out" might have come straight from "Neighborly Poems" by James Whitcomb Riley and is as good as any of the same kind written by him. "Holding Hands" is one of the best things in dialect that has ever been written. It has that peculiar quality of heart interest which grips the sympathies and causes a mist to dim the eye. The most pathetic figure in history is an old, bent, mishapen Negro worn by toil and hopeless poverty and on whose face is stamped the inhentage of two hundred and fifty years of pain and suffering. With what quick sympathy does Mr. Allen recognize his worth and how masterfully does he portray his shining virtues! The wife Cindy--mete companion for his old age--his old age of poverty and struggle is faithful still: The whole poem is no good that it must be left entire to the reader to digest for himself. Mr. Allen's first book is a splendid indication of what is in him and is an earnest of more and even better things to follow. He is sure to make his mark in literary circles and Topeka is glad to claim him as her son. J. L. H. FEELING LIVER-ISH This Morning?

For years we have been gathering the walnuts and storing them in some shed or on 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 10x10 space will hold a big wagon load safely. Who real cold weather sets in we heath in a bushelf with an idle 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 stocks when we have walnuts as part of the winter ration. With ergent present prices, and high prices during the past year, we now look to see them sell high all through the coming winter, and show do all with a new power to make us the lay. 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.

IT CONTAINS FALSEHOODS PROVED BIBLE WAS UNFIT FOR PUBLIC SCHOOL USE. Bays Twenty third Psalm is an Untruthful Production. Veterans Question Judgement of Colonel Harris. It has remained for a Kansas man to discover that the Bible is not of divine origin and the "the enlightened world" no longer credits it with telling the truth. The Kansas who has made this discovery is no other that David Overmyer, the democratic candidate for attorney general. The Kansas ministers who have labored for generations with their flocks, faithful in their allegiance to the Bible, will have to change their plans and methods if Mr. Overmyer is right. Of course, there is a possibility that Mr. Overmyer may be wrong and that "the enlightened world," of which he speaks so knowingly may not have correctly informed him in regard to its real belief on these important subjects. It will be difficult for the average Kansas who has been reared in a bible believing family to change his notions just because a democratic candidate for attorney general says there is not one of truth in all of the beautiful stories of the Bible. Mr Overmyer's discovery has not been extensively advertised by the democratic campaign committee because it might not set well with the Kansas people. This discovery was made a few years ago when Mr Overmyer was conducting a flight to prevent the Bible being read in the public schools. He dissected the twenty-third Psalm at that time and showed by various proofs that the Psalm is just a single of words which ought not be poured into the car of any boy who is seeking an education. The state supreme court refused to accept Mr. Overmyer's view of the case and held that the bible can be read in the school and that it is probably a truthful narrative of events as they were seen by the writers of the book. The case in which Mr Overmyer made his discovery was time of a rift against the board of education of Topeka. DEMANDS THE TRUTH. Gov. Hoch's Challenge to Missouri Democratic Paper. Gov Hoch has taken up the discussion of the question of whether the Kansas City Star a democratic newspaper printed in Missouri ought to be allowed to run Kansas politics. The Star is doing its utmost to discover a "monster tidal wave sweeping over Kansas" and has some of its best "tidal wave discoverers" at work in Kansas with this purpose in view. The Star is sending its reporters throughout the state to misquote republicans cargarate conditions and do all in their power to make the republicans believe that there is an awful lot of trouble in the republican camp. But the musing part of this crusade is that the trouble is always just over the line in another count. The misleading report which the paper prints from the various counties are printed for the purpose of making the people in other counties think that the county from which the report comes is in a bad way politically. The report falls very flat in the counties from which they are dated. The governor is asking the methods of the Star in some of his speeches and he is calling upon the people to watch the reports from their own localities in order that they may judge of the falsity of those from other counties. ATTACK TRUSTS Built Brought Against Standard Oil and Implement Organizations. and implement Organizations. Suits have been instituted in the state supreme court this week against the International Harvester company and the Standard Oil company on the ground that they are violating the antitrust laws of the state. These suits have been begun by Fred S Jackson, assistant attorney general, who is acting under the direction of the attorney general, O. C. Coleman. It is charged that the Standard Oil company of New Jersey owns and operates the Kansas companies and that it is a trust. In the cause of the International Harvester company it is alleged that the company operates a number of independent concerns in the state. Republican Exodus The Kansas City Star has had three correspondents hustling for the past month to find some "shoppers" in Kansas. The net result up to date follows: "One democrat in Brown county who is going to vote for Harris and wants everybody to know it. Three populists in Smith county who have supported the fusion ticket since 1893 One drugglet in Emporia who voted for Roosevelt but admits he has been a life long democrat. MOOH'S POSITION. Governor Refuses to Apologize for His Administration. When the present state campaign opened the democrats went into it with the feeling that Governor Hoch's administration was faulty and that they would find the record of the state's chief executive to be faulty. That they have been disappointed and that they are now conducting the campaign in a haphazard fashion, trusting luck for an issue and basing hope of success on blue sky is shown by the rapidity with which they are switching issues. The facts are that the democrats are absolutely without a satisfactory issue and to this is due continual "sloshing around" on the part of Harris in his speeches. He has never in any speech he has made since the opening of his campaign voiced a single objection to the official record of Governor Hoch, except those based on the "Katy" suit, imported from Indian territory to make an issue in Kansas for a candidate from Illinois. It was the democratic intention to place Governor Hoch on the defensive and keep him there. Their plan did not pan out and it is now Harris who is defending himself. He is strenuous in denials that he lives in Chicago, that he opposed railroad legislation in the legislature of 1897, that he opposed legislation for state uniformity of school books, that he betrayed the populist party in consideration of his election by the railroad influences as United States senator and that he conspired to destroy Bryan and Hearst politically. On the other hand Governor Hoch has taken the offensive. He refuses to either defend himself or apologize for any of his official actions. His position is clearly set forth in the following extract from an editorial published in the Topeka Herald a few days ago: If the democrats expected Governor Hoch to go on the stump and apologize for any act of his administration or for any record of the republican party, they must be having a very disappointing time of it. The governor is out with a rapid firing 15 inch gun and has a range finder that is locating all kinds of shells in the enemy's camp. At Frankfort on Saturday, he said: I have absolutely no apology to make for my action in the M. K. & T. case," and that has been his position on every campaign charge which they have yet brought up, against him. The result is very pronounced all over the state. For two months following the convention, the democrats, encouraged by the light of the "Square Deal" faction in the republican party, have permitted themselves to bobble they had some show of electing Colonel Harris. But they have gotten over it. Those who were most sanguine, admit by their actions, which speak louder than words, that the game is over and that the result will be the usual one at the polls on November 6. HARRIS WAS WRONG. Opinion of Old Soldier Who Knows Confederate Colonel. A group of old soldiers in Gurnett, a few days ago were dissected the merits of the candidates for governor of Kansas. One of the veteran declared his intention of supporting Col. Harris. The sentiment did not receive the approval which was anticipated, and, in fact produced a criticism of the democratic nominee which, though brief was very much to the point. An old veteran, who was one of the group still to his comrades: "In '61 I was a chunk of a boy and did not know very much, but I had sense enough to enlist in the Union army. At the same time Col Harris, the democrat nominee for governor did not have a sufficient conception of principle of right involved in the context and he enlisted in the confederate army and advanced to the position of colonel, to which title he now responds as he travels over the state." If Col Harris made this error of judgment upon such an important subject as liberty and freedom what reason is there to presume that he is now a competent man to place at the head of the affluent of the state of Kansas? If you can secure not that Senator Harris' judgment has been reconstructed, I might be able to excuse him for having failed to reconstruct his opinions. QUITED TO CONDITIONS. Democratie Candidate for the Law and Also Against it. In prohibition communities Harris is making red hot law enforcement speeches. In liberal localities he remains silent on the prohibition question. That is one of the Harrie Overmyer ideas of the way to treat the people honestly. The democrate hope to secure anti-prohibition support in liberal localities and prohibition support in "dry" communition. It would seem, though, that old game is too well worn to enable them to successfully fool the voters by its use. Sincere Candidates. The democratic newspapers advice the republican voters to vote only for the "sincere" candidates on the republican ticket. Well, says Ewing Herbert, the democrat, of course, are in no position to name the "sincere" candidates when they suggest that a republican turn traitor to his party. Bill Ryan of the democrat state committee will not trust "Mellie" Burton with any party secrets. He is afraid she will sell them to the republicans before the campaign is over. ed by the audience unanimously reelecting Mr. Washington president of the league in advance of the regular order and giving him the Chattauqua salute. The subjects discussed on the program were of a larger and more varied character than at any previous meeting including practically every phase of industrial and commercial activity. One of the most important results accomplished by the league was the organization of a National Banking association, with W. R. Pithford of Alabama as president and J. H. McConico of Arkansas as secretary. The larger portion of the last session was devoted to the discussion of a symposium on "Banking" Representatives of the 33 colored banks of the country were invited to participate in this discussion. Sixteen of these banks of the county have been organized in the past year The entertainment of the delegates by the Atlanta Business League was perfect. Especial pains were taken by them, with the assistance of the colored Y.M.C.A., to see that every one had a good home in which to stop. The car role over the city was enjoyed by all. The banquet tendered the delegates was good, and very largely attended. Topeka was selected as the next place of meeting. In the three years I have been fighting for this meeting, I feel sure that not another city in the country has been advertised better or more correctly than ours. In the words of Fred A. Moore, "It is up to Topeka to make good." The satisfactory manner in which matters are starting is encouraging. It is my intention to see that the Topeka meeting is a record breaker, especially in points of attendance, life membership and entertainment. Topeka has a number of very strong and influential friends throughout the country. Our friend, Mr. F. W. Jones of Chicago, stood by us to the last, and was as much pleased with the selection of Topeka as I was. Mr. John E. Bush, of Little Rock, Ark, was another staunch supporter. He very generously withdrew from the race in Topeka's favor. He did not stop at this. He fought for us to the end. Several times when the tide was almost turned from us, he came to our rescue, and climaxed his efforts by making one the best speeches delivered during the meeting in support of Topeka. T. Thomas Fortune, true to his promise last year, supported us throughout the fight. He used every opportunity to help us when he could do so without overstepping the bounds of fairness. Mr. M. M. Lewey, the venerable and reliable editor of the P. Spinel also used every effort in our support. The Hon. Geo. L. Knox, who made the Indianapolis Freeman famous, made an eloquent speech in support of our claims, as did W. R. Pithlord of Ala. Among other launch friends and supporters were Dr. Summer A. Lurness of Indiana, F. D. Patterson of Greenhill, O. Ogden, Fred B. Stone of New York, Dr. S. C. Elbert of Delaware and J. C. Jackson of Kentucky. We owe very much, also, to Mr. P. A. Peyton, president of the Afro-American Realty company of New York, who, though he had changed his mind since last year, yet because of his promise, supported us to the last. A better place than Atlanta could not have been selected for this meeting, situated in the heart of the South, it gave more inspiration to the people representing the average business colored man than any other city that could have been selected. centrally located Rates $5 to $7 per week.

Patrick Plunkett, a well known Irish man of Portland, Me, wished to be elected an officer of some well known society. The members having sambled one day he arose and said: "I nominate Patrick Plunkett." Seeing that nobody moved, he again arose and said: "I second the motion." But still they failed to notice him. The time he cried out: "But be d—d if I take it." = Cte oS oe fens oe
