THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. The Old South is Growing Calm, But the Negro Should Always Keep His Trusty Winchester and Plenty of Coal Oil Close at Hand! FARMERS MEET! An Organization of Men and Women Who Have the Best Interest of the Race at Heart. The Sunflower State Agriculturists held their second trf-annual meeting at Lake Virn a beautiful little burg, five miles Northwest of Lawerence on the Santa Fe. Representatives from the various localities were present to discuss subjects and their common causes in agriculture and the body politic or social science as well as an outing after many days of toil and harvest. From the first this meeting was of untold interest because of the number of men who have risen through hardship and sacrifice into prominence and have gained a commercial standing. It was also interesting to note that these men invariably attributed success to their everlasting stick-to-it-ness and the superior wisdom and judgement of their 'better halves." Our venturing to say, "that a man could not be a successful farmer without a wife." Friday afternoon session was held upon the farm of Authur Emery first vice-president and a progressive young single farmer who owns 240 acres three miles west of Lake Virna. Here the agriculturists feasted upon the hospitalities of a well managed farm home which stands in an isolated district as a monument to all races, Mr. Emery's doings for years from the kitchen to the corn field was carefully scrutinized, and every intermediate exacted praised and admired. J. C. Carson says, Emery has at least been "sawing wood" and is doing more to so-called race problem than all the curbstone politicians in Kansas" J. G. Groves says, "Emsry is a true Kansan and a protege." The agriculturists left their best wishes and praegers for the continued success of Bro. Emery who was also adduised by a senior member to "look well before he leaned." Saturday's session began with the "Glory of Farm Life" Walter P. Groves who pointed out the many ways in which farm life could and should be made more attractive for the young and how in modern times the riding tools, which are an economic necessity, have made farming a pleasure and a luxury. Some of the strong points of this paper were: "I believe the only solvation and true happiness for our people is through God's soil for it is through this medium we make rapid strides towards the mark of higher recognition in all vocations os life." Happiness and success are synonymous terms upon our modern farms and are sure to attend those who have been trained to work to the best advantage, to think with precision and act advisedly." What could be more glorious and aspiring than our farms of flourishing fields of golden grains and orchards of a reddish hue! We have corn or potatoe rows for streets, our own vehicles for street cars, box cars for commission houses, our signature for security and our determination to accumulate our aspiration, We know no humiliation to endure except to toll and reap the benefits thereof." This paper envoked many comments and was ably discussed with many additional points. "More Domestic Science in Farm Homes" by Mrs. R. P. Brown, Loring, should be read by every girl in Kansas and its advice heeded. She points out toe absolute necessity of our farm girls receiving more attention, being educated and proficient from the wash board to the Bradbury. "To educate the man only is to create a bacholor hood for in this progressive age ignorance and education will not go hand in hand." We must impress upon our girls the fact that the larger end of the heart of an Afro-American is greatly influenced by his stomach and that this end must always be first and life will be happier and fewer family spats and divorce cases. "Girls become proficient in higher domestic science and arts or you will tie old malds 'hereafter." Mrs. Brown left many valuable recipes and suggestions for digestion and assimilation." W"Camp Dinner by Farm Girls," could not be surpassed, Mrs. Brown varified her paper in toto. "Advan tages of "Small Fruits for Uplands." H. S. Foruch, Mancie. This paper was based upon the doings of Mancie agriculturists, He cited many advantages of small fruits over field crops for uplands and abvises the farmers of all sections to utilize their waste lanes by this method os culture giving the best kinds of fruits for the different slopes and soil, Mr. French predicts that within ten years every railroad station in Eastern Kansas will be a market for any small fruit or vegetables and advises the farmers to begin now so as to be prepared to reap the cream in this new move. He names a number of homes won by small fruit culture and the adaptability of our people as horticulturists. Mr. French answered many questions quoting standard authorities. "Renting as a Menace to Our Progress," Authur Emery. Comments of any kind upon this paper will not suffice for every renter should heed its wisdom and truths, portrayed the condition of our people ten, fifteen years ago from Kansas City to Topeka, and today. The contrast was very striking and forceful, and the impression will not be forgotten soon. Emery shows how, if he had begun renting instead of buying, by this time he would have paid twice the value of the land and still without an equity. "Do not become married to a section of country where you are forced to rent." Carson, Groves, Wm, Hiues and French corroborated Emery's statements. Many farmers expressed themselves well repaid by hearing this one subject of so much vital importance so discussed. "Poultry Raising for Profit," by A. Lewis of N. Topeka. The several essential points of poultry raising was presented and was highly commended especially by farmer wives. Mrs. R. P. Brown told how she had been able to support a family, buy her own clothes and place sixty dollars to her credit in the bank in the last three months all from the sale of product of two cows and poultry yard. Mrs. J. G Groves says, that farmers wives and daughters should be encouraged in this phase of farm life because greater profits are to be derived from the poultry yards then from the cattle or swine pen." "That our women are not bringing up their end of the poultry business, that if the farm girls would devote her spare time to raising poultry the school room and trades would not lure them on from a pecuniary standpoint. She insisted that the man should buy the incubator and assist in the first hatch. Mrs. S. A. Johnson of Lawerence spoke of the poultry raising as a luxury and pleasure to and for city homes near the limits. Sunflower State Agriculturists its Objects and Mission by J.G. Groves of Edwardsville. By this hour Groves had become so outhused by interest shown in previous discussions until he seemed touched by the Spirit and turned to the highest pitch and spoke from the heart holding his audience spell bound while he expounded the gospel of agriculture, union, brotherly love and more effective work throughout this state. Its mission is hidden in the mysteries of the future. Other subjects were discussed pertaining to our common causes in closed session. After reports of committees and members the meeting closed to meet in January at Topeka. IDA MAX GROVINS. 3rd vice pres. and acting Sec. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 12, 1906. NEGROES MUST STAND PAT! DEMOCRACY MEANS LYNCHINGS The Black Man is Shot, Burned and Jim Crowed in Every State Under Democratic Rule. The colored Republicans of Kansas should look well to their interest in the coming election. Massachusetts Republicans have spoken and Kansas will follow. The Republicans of the Bay State have declared for the enforcement of the fifteenth amendment to the Constitution, and against the outrages perpretrated upon the colored people. The East is where we received our first light from the birth of the Saviour, and it was Massachusetts, the far off Eastern state that first rocked the cradle of liberty and stirred the people throughout this broad land on the question of human slavery, and Kansas was the next to take up the cry. It was Kansas that produced John Brown who died upon the scaffold that the Negro might be free and the American white man become civilized and Christianized. The cradle of liberty was rocked in Massachusetts by such liberty loving Republican as Garrison and Phillips. The child was reared in Kansas by the Republican party and at the hand of John Brown. The christian will astray from path at times, as will the Republican from the principles of the party, yet all will return to the road of progress and right. Let us not forget that in our own household we have trouble and dissension, yet we do not surrender our families and household to our enemies. So it is with the grand old Republican. Let us consider that all wrongs can be righted within the party and not in the Democratic party nor by voting the Democratic ticket. We have just cause to complain of class legislation, as has every fair minded citizen, but let us protest with judgment and diplomacy. Leaders in our party have been mislead by false representation from members of our sace on the separate school question. Hundreds of white Republicans have been led by colored men who are looking for school teaching, to believe the race wants class legislation in the public schools. It has been proven that all the colored people want in one flag and one law for all alike, and A. M E. CHURCH IS GROWING. Richmond, Mo., Oct. 31th, 1906. To the Bishop and members of the Missouri and Kansas conference of the Colored Methodist Episcopal church: For more than fifteen years I have tried to preach the gospel of Christ in my weak and humble way in your midst. I have also tried to lead a Christian life. I desire to cast no bouquet at myself at all. I simply leave to the unbiased my life and work to speak for themselves. My character is clear. I am in debt neither to the conference nor any of the brothers. I am honest when I say that I love and always shall love the grand old C. M. E. church and all of her bishops, preachers and members; all we have to do is let our wauts be known and the party will respect our request. We have talked to enough Republican leaders and are thoroughly convinced that further class legislation will be met with force and determination. Noting for Harris and the Democratic party will not help the cause of the Negro in the North, but will bolster up the cause of Hoke Smith, the recent Democratic nominee for governor of Georgia, whose utterances caused the wholesale slaughter of Negroes in Atlanta a few days ago. Vote for Harris and you indorse Vardaman, the scape goat of hell and the most infamous cur that ever breathed. No dog or vulture can ever be an infly and low as the governor of Mississippi. A vote for the Democratic ticket in Kansas encourages, aids and assists Jeff Davis of Arkansas and Tom Dixon of Clansman fame to further their hellish plot to exterminate the Negro. A vote for the Democratic party in Kansas aids William Jennings Bryan and the solid South in securing the presidency in 1908 and if the Democrats ever get in control of the government, Mr. Negro, look out for the fifteenth amendment. If anyone can show us where a Northern Democrat has ever proclaimed and denounced the action of the Southern Democrats for innumerable outrages perpretrated against the colored race, we will support that party and vote the ticket at the November election. The columns of THE PLAINDEALER is open for those who wish to refute or prove to the contrary. The Republican party is not a Jim Crow party, nor will the rank and file stand for it. Let every colored voter see his representative and ask him to stand up for the principles of the party. Let them know your wants and they will stand by you. The party has never turned a deaf ear to those with appealed for right, but if you prefer hell, degradation and mob rule, vote the Democratic ticket. and especially do I love these, my friends and colleagues of the Missouri and Kansas conference. It is like death to part from them, but I have, after much prayer and careful consideration, finally concluded that it will be better, owing to certain circumstances, for me to sever my relations with the church and conference. Therefore, with love toward all and malice toward none. I hereby tender to to this honorable body my resignation from the conference and membership of the C. M. E church. JOHN M. BROWN. P. E. of Mo. Dist. C. M. E. This is to certify that I have known Rev. J M. Brown, who came into the A. M. E. church last Sunday night at Kansas City. Kansas, from the C. M. E church, for many years and as a Christian gentleman, he has by precept and example, proven himself to be all that term implies. He and I were associate pastors for three years in the city of Topeka, and I never came in contact with a more cogenial Christian gentleman in all my life. At the time of his withdrawal from the C. M. E. chure he was a member of the board of church extension, and also of the general missionary board. He is a man against whom no one can truthfully say naught, and I take this method of cheerfully recommending him to any and all to whom this may come. I am yours for the church and race, J. R RANSON, P. E. Kansas City Dist. of the A. M. E. church, Kansas conference. As a proof of his standing in the C. M. E. church, Bishop Lane refused to accept his resignation and J. H. H. instead, assigned him to the Kansas district, subject to his acceptance or rejection. Bishop Lane had implicit confidence in him and would not for a moment entertain the letter of resignation. He indeed remonstrated with Rev. Brown, and did all he could to have him forego his determination to leave the church conference. This is to certify that I have known Rev. M. H. Spencer for one year, and I have seen, heard nor known nothing of him but that of a Christian gentlemen. He comes from the C. M. E church well recommended. I take this method of commending and recommending him to all to whom this may come. The administration of Governor Guild was approved. The public ownership of railroads was opposed. Sympathy was expressed with the "suffering and outraged Jews in Poland and Russia, although with a sense of profound humiliation that our own garments are not free from the innocent blood of Americans of African descent." The platform dealing with the disfranchisement of the Negroes in the South, urges enforcement of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution as a sacred duty to the nation. Old Massachusetts has spoken, Kansas will speak next. Let us not be discouraged, for better times are coming. Let the Negroes get guns, matches, gasoline, dynamite, and kill, burn and destroy property in communities where officers are lax in entorcing the laws. Tell those white Southern rebels that for every Negro harmed, ten thousand dollars worth of property will be destroyed, and lives go with it. Let all Negro secret lodges in the South plan to take care of their members, and if one is wrongfully dealt with, resent it with force and strategy until justice and respect for human rights are obtained. Every house in the South should go up in flames as offering for the wrongs done the Negro, NUMBER 40. Coal Oil Close at Hand! IS THIS MAN HUMAN? A Missouri Heathen is Seized With a Sudden Desire for Negro Blood—He Needs Attention. Jefferson City, Mo., Sept. 17, '06. To the Editor of THE PLAIN DEALER: I am enclosing a last week's copy of your "Prejudice Promoter," for it is certain'y that in every sense of the word. The idea of saying that the white people of Wichita have violated the law because they refuse to allow their children to sit beside "nigger" children in the schools, is simply preposterous. They are taking a step which should have been taken long ago "Thank God that all states are not like Kansas. We all know that the Negroes are descendants of Kem, the ungrateful and ignorant son, who, when the father, under the influence of wine, was lying naked in the grape orchard, deliberately stood and ridiculed him. The Bible tells us that for its act ungratefulness and ignorance he and his descendants were cursed, and turned black, forever to remain. Therefore, I hold that we, the white people, should continue to hold the Negroes in subjection, and do all in our power to wipe the "niggers" off the earth. You're in hate and contempt. The above article, signed by one who is too cowardly to sign his proper name, does not justify us in giving it any notice. But, knowing that some portions of Missouri are filled with such ungoutly animals as you are, we thought it would be well to let the people know that some few reside near Jefferson City, close to the home of Governor Folk. We know that the governor did not know that such characters were near him in that city, and from now on, he will be diligent and careful as to whom he has dealings with. We know that God created the Negro, but have no idea who created you. From the tone of your letter, we do not believe you had any creation or creator. You simply sprang into existence without the sanction of either God or the Devil, and therefore, when quitting this world, you have no hopes of even fire and brimstone. We do not believe that any son of Noah ever disgraced the old man as you have disgraced not only the state in which you reside, but the whole human family. As you are ashamed to let people know who you are, you must, undoubtedly, be a hedgehog, or a cinnamon bear, waiting your chance to prey upon the good. NICK CHILLS. What Negroes Should Write Roosevelt. Hon. Theodore Roosevelt. Dear President: Wet hink it your Christian duty to express yourself in strong terms, denouncing the recent outrages being perpetrated against the Negro in some portions of this country. We think that you and the Republican party should declare in not to be mistaken language the enforcement of the Fifteenth amendment to the constitution, then pursue that policy. We think that the graves in which Lincoln, Sumner and John Brown of Harper's Ferry sleep should now break their silence and bring forth the things which those departed Republicans intended should be. Respectfully, Nick Chiles. LOCAL NEWS.

Earnest Hogan is playing to large audiences. The people are simply going wild. Our friend, Tom Logan of Kansas City is still with them. We do hope these people who are coining money will save up some and put it into real estate, always remembering they are growing older and the people will not always be the same towards the shows. Mr. Hogan is an old Topeka boy and we wish him well. --- Hon. S. A. Swendson, candidate for mayor in 1907, subject to Republican primary, has been a member of the city council for the last seven years.

Worrall, manager of the printing department at the Smith Truss Co., was struck by a car on Tenth street and almost instantly killed. He was taken to a hospital where he died a few hours later without ever regaining his senses. Mr. Worrall was one of the most familiar printers of this city, and regarded by all as being one of the most artistic workmen in the business. For ten years he managed the printing department of the Smith Co., and to his crafty hand and artistic eye in preparing catalogues, might be credited many sales of handsome autos built by this firm. No better young man ever lived than Charlie Worrall. Always courteous, kind and polite to everybody, and his friends were legend. He was about 33 years of age and leaves a wife, little son, mother sister and a brother, Prof. Worrall to mourn his untimely death. To those bereaved, THE PLAINDEALER extends sympathy. Peace to his ashes. A WARNING! Notice! Take warning. We now notify you to get ready; buy shot guns and rifles, and put them in your houses, and prepare to protect yourselves and your families. The Texans and Arkansas trash are preparing to take charge of the new state and thereupon falls upon you objectionable laws. They will also continue their outrages in the new state, as they have carried them on in the old, lynching, burning, and outraging Negroes, in every possible way. They will try to carry out their hellish designs, and place you under a yoke of bondage. Sleep with one eye open from now on; organize yourselves together for your own protection. You are going to have trouble in the new state and lots of it. The Democrats have declared for Jim-Crow laws in Oklahoma and the Republicans have tacitly fallen in with that idea. That country was never intended for such laws and the people who stand for them are no less than cattle. Colored people in the new state, take warning! Prepare for a struggle! Do not let Texas and Arkansas rule. Good Men at the Head. The Republican party of Kansas should congratulate themselves on having such able men on committee, as chairman Crummer, and secretary Miller, as well as secretary Brown of the Speakers Bureau. These gentlemen are to be commended for their excellent and business methods in conducting this campaign, up to the present time, and for the splendid outlook for a large Republican majority. When they commenced the campaign, the party was in very bad shape and at one time it looked as if defeat was inevitable, but by their firm and judicious work, they reached the people with good Republican literature and good speakers, and having them now convinced that the Republican principle and Republican officers and party are the best for the prosperity of the people. The party owes everlasting gratitude to these gentlemen for the great work they have done and when men are to be rewarded for their good works and faithful performance of their duty, these should be among the very first.

Kansas City, Oct. 8.-Forty priests from the different parishes in the surrounding territory took part in the dedication of the new St. Anthony's parish, the ceremonies being participated in by a number of societies, both local and visiting. The new church was blessed by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Thomas F. Lillis, after which there was a pontifical high mass by the bishop, assisted by a number of clergymen. A sermon in German was preached by Very Rev. Chrysostom Theobald and a sermon in English by the Rt. Rev. Thomas F. Lillis. During the services the choir sang the new St. Anthony's. Sid Nelson and Miss Alberta Brewer were quietly married Monday by Probate Judge Hayden. Both are excellent young people and have the best wishes of a host of friends.

Grant and Miss Laura Anderson were united in marriage Tuesday evening, Rev. Bell officiating. Miss Anderson is a Topeka girl, one highly respected and cultured, and will make a devoted wife. Mr. Grant has been in the city about nine months, having moved here from Tonganoxie. He is a model young man and THE PLAIN-DEALER welcomes them all possible luck in their excellent choices. Mrs. Cora Shepard and Mr. Oscar O. Overr were quietly married Wednesday evening by Rev. B. C. Duke at his residence. Both are highly respected citizens. The best wishes of a host of friends go with them. They left immediately for Pasadena, Cal., where they will spend the honeymoon. Mr. S. H. Thompson of "The Devil's Cook Kitchen" will leave Sunday for Kansas City, where they will give a few more exhibitions of this great moral entertainment. It is one of the best entertainments we ever witnessed- in fact, it furnishes more food for thought than a sermon. The people never grow tired while witnessing it. It amuses, yet it makes 'em think. Mothers especially see that their children attend this exhibition. PORTU Wainute for Fowls. Every year thousands of bushels of walnuts go to waste all over the country, and a few farmers think of their value for poultry food. For years we have been gathering the walnuts and storing them in some shed or our house, and we consider every bushel of them worth fully as much as a bushel of oats. It is not necessary to remove the hulls, but do not store them more than a few inches deep, as they may heat and rot. A 10x10 space will hold a big wagon load safely. Who real cold weather sets in we hash in a bushelful with an idle and feed them to the laying bone. The great amount of oil contained in the kernels will do more to help keep our animal heat than almost any other foodstuff we can produce, and we have never had disease in our flocks when we have walnuts as part of the winter ration. With eggs at present prices, and ligh prices during the past year, we may look to a them soil high all through the coming winter, and should do all within our power to make us hns lay.

Mr. William Harris an old and highly respected citizen of this place died at his home Thursday morning, after a very painful illness. Mr. Harris had buried his faithful wife just one year and six months ago and his intimate friends say, he has never been the same man since her death. Mr. Harris had been a member of the Baptist church for nearly 40 years. He was a 32nd degree Mason, an Odd Fellow and a member of The True Reformers, which orders participated in the funeral exercises. The funeral was one of the largest ever held in this city. Mr. Harris was 66 years old at his death. Mr. Ramsey, the colored undertaker conducted 4 funerals last week. We are glad the colored people are patronizing Mr Ramsey as they should do Since we all must die why not let a colored brother have charge of us after death. Prof. Bruce has recently purchased a 14 room double tenement with modern improvement in an aristocratic white settlement and we learn the neighbors are having spasmodic fits for fear the Prof. will move his family into their midst.

A remarkable case of spontaneous ignition that recently occurred in erecting the walls of the new Rotterdam quay is related by the Technische Dundschau. Rams had been in use there for some time, which by 180 or 200 strokes per minute caused a steady advance of the pilots. The foundation was such that the pillars had to be driven through the quicksand down to the solid ground. On withdrawing some pilots, the points of the latter were found, owing to the enormous friction, to have been carried entirely and heated to such a point as to begin burning spontaneously on coming in contact with the air; nor could iron shoes prevent this spontaneous ignition. Whe leaving the plies in the ground this ignition would not result in any damage, the charring remaining crinned to the surface, and the heat being rapidly carried away in the moist surroundings.

FULLER, C. P. A. Topeka, Kus B. W. Shelton's TOM M'NEAL FORCES THE EXREBEL TO SHOW HIS HAND. HARRIS PRAISES ROOSEVELT But McNeal Makes Him Admit He Is Sorry Roosevelt Is President—Democratic Campaign Managers Are In a Big Row—Jarrell Raps Overmyer and Joe Wright Paya Hia Compliments to Col. Harris. 1 Col. Harris of Chicago, the Democratic nominee for Governor of Kansas, has been trying throughout the campaign to curry favor with Republicans by throwing bouquets at President Roosevelt in his speeches. Col. Harris would persuade the voters that he is very much a Roosevelt man and that he could be depended upon to carry on the state government on the Roosevelt model. That this sort of talk from Col. Harris has been only buncombe intended to catch Republicans with a leaning toward independent voting, everyone has known all the while but Harris' absolutes insincerity was never fully exposed until a meeting at Siegel last week when he was compelled to admit that he is sorry that Parker was defeated for President and Roosevelt elected. As Kansas gave Roosevelt nearly 139,000 majority over Parker, Kansas voters will probably greatly appreciate the statement of the Illinois "colonel" that he is sorry Parker was defeated. However, the admission was forced and came only after Harris had been nettled by several hand raps from T A McNeal, the Republican mayor for state prison. Harris had just preceded McNeal as a speaker. He had paid his usual "soapy" compliments to Roosevelt. When McNeal began speaking he referred to the endorsement of Roosevelt by Col. Harris. "I am glad to hear a Democrat speak so highly of our Republican President," he said, "and I infer from Col. Harris' remarks that although he voted for Parker he is really glad Roosevelt was elected." A laugh started and it was too much for the touchy Chicago man who jumped excitedly to his feet and shouted "It's not so I said nothing of the sort. Can't you be fair?" "There is no intention on my part to be unfair," McNeal replied quietly. "If I have misrepresented Col Harris, I beg his pardon. I simply inferred from his speech that while he voted for Parker he is pleased at Roosevelt's election. Of course I Col Harris is sorry that Roosevelt was elected and his tribute to the President is therefore meaningless, I stand corrected." The Chicago man made no reply and left the platform "madder than a wet hen" IN A BIG BOW. The fact that the Democrats made a mistake in turning W F Sapp down for reelection as chairman of the state committee and a bigger mistake in placing W H Ryan in charge of affairs at campaign headquarters has become so apparent that even the Democrats are acknowledging it and some of them are doing a mighty lively lot of kicking about it. Ryan has been an absolute and positive failure in his work as chairman up to this time and his incompetency is so marked that even David Overmyer has been prompted to admit that a mistake was made in the deposition of Sapp. It is rumored here in Topeka that Overmyer went to Democratic headquarters recently and kicked up a big row with Ryan because the latter has been doing nothing toward building up an organization. Of course neither Overmyer or Ryan will discuss the matter for publication but there is little if any doubt regarding the authenticity of the rumors. Perhaps the best evidence that all is not moving smoothly and that there is dissatisfaction with Chairman Ryan is furnished by the Kansas City Star. The Star is the official organ of the democratic party in Kansas and it gets inside information direct from all the Democratic candidates in an editorial published only a few days ago the Star openly and frankly acknowledged that the Democratic campaign lacks ginger. The editorial also intimates that the Kansas Democracy has lost its power of action and indicates that the chances of the election of Col. Harris of Chicago as Governor of Kansas are not strong. The editorial was as follows: It may be their strong feeling of reliance on the strength and popularity of Colonel W. A Harris which causes the Democratic leaders in Kansas to content themselves with the policy of letting the campaign for Governor sort of take care of itself. It is certain that they are not displaying the energy and the aggressive spirit which a leader like Colonel Harris might well inspire. It is most unfortunate that a protracted lease of power tends too violate a political organization and render it faithless to its duty, and that, on the other hand, when a party remains out of business for the period of time that the Democracy of Kansas has been idle, it seems to lose the power of action and to become listless and flabby. JARRELL BOLTS WEBB. And Tells What He Thinks of David Overmeyer. First district Democrats are having lots of trouble. First they nominated a Democrat for Congress against Congressman Chas. Curtis. The Democrat knew the nomination was an empty honor and withdrew. Then the Democrats spent two or three weeks trying to get a Republican to accept the Democratic nomination on a tariff revision platform. Finally they were successful and Judge W. D. Webb of Atchison was influenced to permit the nomination to be fastened on him. And now the Democrats are bolting Webb and a big internal row is stirred up. J. F. Jarrell, editor of the Holton Signal and chairman of the Democratic press bureau, has bolted Webb, although he says there was nothing to bolt, and announces his intention to support the Prohibition candidate. Jarrell charges the Democratic congressional committee with exceeding its authority in nominating a Republican and has landed squarely on the toes of David Overmyer, who with the assistance of the Kansas City Star, engineered the deal for the nomination of Webb. Overmyer is tremendously angered at Jarrell because of the latter's open bolt and charges it up to Balle Waggener. Overmyer says Jarrell is "only a tool of Balle Waggener." Jarrell comes back in a signed statement in which he intimates that a man who would make such a charge would violate the trust imposed in him if he were made attorney general. The closing paragraph of Jarrell's statement is as follows: Hon. David Overmyer is greatly disturbed about the "bolt," and he is quoted as saying that I am a 'tool of Italio Waggener. That assertion, if Mr. Overmyer made it, is untrue, and even if it were true, it wouldn't be anybody's business, for I am not a public official, nor do I aspire to any political honors. I have enjoyed the friendship of Mr. B P. Waggener ever since I was a boy, and I value it very highly. The kind of politics that leads one man to attack another because of personal friendship and associations is evil enough to prompt him to betray a trust. SHE MUST SIDE STEP. Mrs. Burton Must Stop Denouncing One Democratic Candidate. The Democratic committee has employed Mrs. Ella Burton of Topoha to make speeches against Governor Hoch and the Republican state ticket this fall Mrs. Burton won Democratic favor by an attack on Governor Hoch for appointing D. O. McCray as a member of the state text book commission. The attack was made in a speech at a Labor Day celebration in Topoha. Mrs. Burton chats, that McCray is a tool of the alleged book trust and that she took Governor Hoch so before McCray was appointed d. Because the Governor did not believe her unsupported word Mrs. Lutton says the Governor is also a tool of the book trust When Mrs. Hinton was trying to keep the Governor from appointing McCray she was making a particularly bitter fight against the appointment of Prof A B Charny in concordia. She made all sorts of claims against McCray and Carney and was particularly bitter toward Carney whom she also characterized as a look trust employ. Governor Hock appointed both McCray and Carney. Carney is now the Democrat nominee for state subordinate of school so he has been nominated by the Democratic party as well as by Governor Hoch. Mrs. Hinton will therefore be in father an inconsistent position when she goes out to fight Hock and support Carney. RAPS HARRIS HARD. Populist Editor Says the Colonel Be- teaved His Party in 1897. Joe Wright of Smith Center, one of the host known Populists in the state and editor of one of the staunchest Populist newspapers in Northwestern Kansas is fighting Col. W. A Harris of Chicago and the Democratic state ticket very bitterly. Wright was a stalwart Populist in 1896 and 1897 and is among those who attribute the disasters which overtook the party to the perility of Col. Harris and those other fusion senators who betrayed maximum freight rate legislation during the Leed) administration. In a recent issue of his paper, the Smith County Messenger, Wright prints the following reply to a Populist to know why he fights Harris more than Governor Hoch "You say more against Harris than Hoch," said a subscriber the other day. Certainly we do, just at this time. Governor Hoch never stole us blind and then betrayed us while pretending to be our friend. To us, that is the limit of forebearance in politics. Does he or any of his Parker corporation acrobats deny it? Not one. The Senate records of Kansas amply prove it, and still every few days some Populist wants information as to why we are not for Harris." Still, for some reason or other, the wonderful things done by Colonial Harris in the senate which prove his superior qualifications for the governorship are yet unspecified. Why this delay? Perhaps Colonel Harris, of Chicago, thinks the Kansas old soldiers will vote for him through gratitude that he didn't kill them when leading his Confederate regiment against the Union.

FRIDAY, OCT. 12, 1906 TWO GOOD MEN GONE We regret very much to have to note the death of two prominent Topekans this week. Great, strong men, whose interest in the uplift of humanity has made them hosts of friends and admirers in all walks of life. In the death of R. B. Welch and G. C. Clemens, humanity less. Especially is this true of G. J. Clemens. Nowhere on God's earth could the wall of oppressed humanity be heard that it did not reach his ears and bring forth from him a stirring reproof and an emphatic protest. Both men have manifested a deep interest in our people, and had an abiding faith in our future greatness. In times past, when efforts have been made to repress the meagre opportunities of our people, both have responded nobly for the Negro. We have lost two good friends. Exercise 10.1 Is it a Disease? We have been trying to pursue ourselves that the conditions in the South, along with the rest of the world, are growing better. That the lynching and burning of Negro suspects was sporadic, not general. But the events of the past week have done much to disabuse our minds of any such foolish notions. We are satisfied now that lynching is a disease, like consumption or some kindred trouble, that indicates its stealthy approach by certain unpleasant conditions. The numerous lynchings and burnings in the South in the past have been but the prelude of the rapidly developing massacre of Negroes beside which the massacre of St. Bartholomew and the bloody riots of the Paris mobs of 1793, become insignificant. The ruthless lynching and burning of Negroes becomes a greater crime because of the more advanced stage of civilization. This paper does not now and never has stood for the condoning of Negro criminals. We believe Negro criminals should be treated the same as any other class of law breakers, but we believe that they should be legally executed and not murdered. And the crimes in the South are but cold blooded murder that the God above cannot and does not justify. God is just. And we advise our brothers to keep their powder dry while they pray. They are dealing with a dreadful disease. Protecting Our Girls. Just now, while so much attention is being drawn to our people by the bloody acts of Southeren demone, THE PLAINSAILER cannot resist the temptation to put in a word for "Our Girls." We are mighty proud of the dear old mother, who toiled early and late that we might be prepared to enter life under more favorable circumstances than they. Much that goes to make the sum total of the accumulated wealth of our people comes from and through the toil of our women. They have laundered that this country might have clean linen and their children a home and a chance for schooling. Thanks to them, today we have thousands of bright young girls going out into the world. Our girls, like our young men, find the avenues of employment much circumscribed. A prominent colored woman, writing in one of our magazines, says: "Colored women cannot be all they would until colored men shall begin to exalt their character and beauty, and to throw about them the chivalry of love and protection which shall command the recognition and respect of all the world." * * "What our girls and women have a right to demand from our best men is that they cease to imitate the artiicial standards of other people and create a RACE STANDARD of their own." "The way to exalt the colored girl is to place a higher premium on character than we do upon the quality of her occupation." These are but a few quotations from a splendid article by Mrs. Fannie Barrier Williams. It is an article that should be read by every colored man and boy. The men of our race must place a premium on the virtuous womanhood of our race. They must place it there by honoring and respecting those women and girls of our race who live above the impure and immoral. An outrage or an insult to a white woman rouses the fire of every white man in the land, be he millionaire or pauper. Negro men should feel the same towards the women of their race. Then, too, if we learn to respect our own women, and admire them for their virtue and morality, the women of every race will come within the charmed circle, and the world will be the better. Let us protect our women. Get Ready. These are political days and the voice of the campaigner is heard in the land. Just now much is said about the Negro deserting the Republican party because of the position that party has taken upon the school question. This paper has not had much to say on this question. We are, however, absolutely and unqualifiedly opposed to separate schools. We believe that ALL children should be sent to the same public schools. We believe there is no law that will justify the segregation of the colored children from other races, JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE BLACK. And we do not believe that these men who stand around and descent learnedly and sophistically about "equal facilities" believe their own hog wash. They pat this threadbare delusion on the back for the purpose of letting themselves down easy as contemptible hypocrites. There is no hope in the Democratic party. That party never gave the Negro a single favorable law nor a scintilla of hope. The Republican party has given us all. But the party has fallen into the hands of small men, who do things and at the same time admit that they are wrong. What we need to do is to study the men in the party. Let's try that and see what we can do. The Next Event. Now that the annual Emancipation celebration era is about over, we believe there is one scheduled for January 1st—it will not be a bad idea to think of the next meeting to be held in Topgka. We take pleasure in calling the attention of our people to the report of the second meeting of the Sunflower State Agriculturists. This is an organization of the Negro farmers of Kansas, and their meetings are full of interest to them. It had its inception in the fertile brain of Mr. C. A. Groves, of Edwardsville, and it promises to be a powerfull factor in the development of our people in the West. We have become so disgusted at the outrages being perpetrated upon the colared people of this country that it has become nauseating and we admit that we do not feel like publishing them, knowing full well that we cannot express ourselves in sufficiently strong terms to do our feelings justice. The hanging of the wrong Negro in Arkansas, the lynchings at Macon, Ga., Mobile, Ala., and other places too numerous to mention, are more than heart-rending, and then to see the Negro ministers in New York sending up prayers to the Almighty, asking him to stop these outrages, instead of sending shot guns and bullets, matches and gasoline; who do nothing but pray and dodge from equally cowardly whites. For heaven's sake, Negroes, get some sense and manhood. KANSAS CITY, KAN.

ALWAYS A SYMPATHIZER AND SUPPORTER OF RAILROADS. M. A. Keefer Unmasks the Chicago Candidate for Governor. MESSRS FARRELLY AND RYAN ALSO RECEIVE ATTENTION FROM THE POPULIST LEADER. Says Pretensions of Democratic Candidates Are Not Honest. Col. W. A. Harris, the Chicago man the democrats have nominated for governor of Kansas, is getting small comfort from his former populist aliens. The populists have no use for Harris because he broke faith with and betrayed him in 1897 after he had used them to boost himself into the United States senate. The public record of Col. Harris will receive no more severe exorbitation 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 defeating promised railroad legislation in order to bring about his own election as a representative of the populist no nation. Keefer handled Harris without gloves and present many proofs that Harris' present position of reform principles are not honest. Mr. Keefer said in part "The democratic nonhoe, Col Harris, was called from Chichester, where he is guarding the railroad Battle Dealers' association, the control of which he wrenched 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 saved the men (Parrelly and Ryan) who, with him, were the most realious in defeating everything the fusion forces were pledged to and had proclaimed the people in 1821. They are the trio who are responsible for the delivery of the populist and democratic anate of 1827 to the railroad lobby The Harris re-1831 was in the interest of those corps of men and was conceived at Col Harris' home before the life-nature convened, and was disentitled to illumination, attorney for the Mourn Pacific railroad company of western Mn. "Col Harris now says that the railroad line did not put in this manner in life is consistent in this because it never has been a paranormal issue with him. He makes a two-cent car fee the license to attract the unpleasant yet an state senator he would not consent to any bill giving relief from excessive light rates, and I now contends that his action was justified. "The Kau is farmer who has corn, wheat and live stock to put on the market, should have a 25 per cent reduction in freight rate 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. Instead 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 copies of his Fort 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 averse 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 "liberal" backers in other localities. COUNSEL 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 hates 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. What Governor Hoch Has Done for the People of Kansas. Kansas has every reason to be proud of the administration of Governor Hoch and the Republican party in the past two years, and Governor Hoch and the Republican party have every reason to expect that that pledge will be expressed by the vote at the polls in November. Governor Hoch's administration has been free from scandal. The administration of every trust has been marked with fidelity and honesty. There are two or three little things that bear frequent mention in this connection and are of interest to the taxpayers. The last distribution of the semiannual school fund to the school district of the state amounted to 46 cents per capita, or two cents more than it has been at any previous distribution in ten years. The present commission has not bought a single issue of bonds for the permanent school fund on which payment is defaulted. And this has been true too with the fund flush with money. But the commissioners have kept it invested in reliable securities. The administration of the state government has been so economical that the state board of equalization found it possible to this year reduce the tax levy for state purposes to 42 mills, or just 1 mill less than the levy made last year. These things were made possible by the conservative wisdom of the legislature at its last mission state affairs. The new state prater and the economical administration of law made possible a saving of $25,000 annually. The Board of Control made possible a saving double that amount to the new state's law at night the state in criminal income from interest on public funds of something like $1,000 a month. The law prater for the tax levy of pipelines and private car lines of service, as it increased the taxable property of the state by several million dollars. And these are only a few of the things that have been accomplished by the Hoch administration. The new railroad law, the maximum freight rate law and antidiscrimination laws for the oil producers and a dozen other pieces of good legislation would necessarily be mentioned in the list of reasons for the re-election of Governor Hoch. It is because of these plain facts well known to most of the voters that the Democrats are having so little success in their efforts to make people believe that Kansas is walking in the shadow of a political revolution and the voters about to elect a citizen of Illinois as governor. TWO TO ONE. The Democrats who pro- bate this trial Hands of the Co- has a show to be elected gov- ners are showing no signs of will- ings more to no fright than in Two weeks ago $100 was at a Top of the State to be recelection of Gove not Po' at alls of two to one. No Democrat has offered THIRD WEST PUNSON to cover all or any part of the amount. A few days ago a well known Republic in was on a train not pulling into Parsons. A Democrat was fondly predicting the triumph of Harris and the Democratic state ticket "Have you any money to risk on that proposition?" the Republican asked "Yes, I have $1,000," the Democrat answered. "Put it up," suggested the Republican as he pulled out a roll of bills and prepared to post a forfeit. The Democrat said he could not bet quite as much as $1,000 "Well, then, let us bet $500" the Republic said "What you won't do that? Well, then, I bet you $500 to $250 that it will." The Democrat did not bet "These two cases are simply straws showing within the political wind is blowing in Kansas this year. Hoch's Policy Vinjicated. The resignation of W W Rose as mayor of Kansas City, Ks., marks the end of a long drawn out fight for decency and law enforcement at the Kansas metropolis, and, incidentally, it indicates Governor Hoch and Attorney General Coleman of the charge that they were simply persecuting Rose without warrant of law. The final victory over Rose and his almost unconditional surrender show that the administration at the state house has been on the law side of the controversy all the time. Rose will retire as mayor and a special election will be held to supply his successor. And in the meantime C. W. Trickett, the assistant attorney general of Wyandotte county, is going right along cleaning out the joints and gambling houses. Better Than Two Years Age. The reports coming to Republican headquarters at Topeka from every part of the state show a condition much more satisfactory to Republicans than existed two years ago. There is no longer any question as to the triumphant election of Hoch and the entire state ticket. It is only a question of the size of the majority.

Eyster, candidate for Justice of Supreme Court, short term, on the People's Party ticket. Mr. Kyster is not a Populist "for revenue only," but is conscientious in his belief. In his nomination the Populists have bestowed an honor where it belongs. He is one of the grandest old men that has ever entered the borders of Kansas. He knows no man by creed, color or past condition of servitude, but by principle and manly qualities. That Mr. Eyster is eminently qualified for this position is beyond question, and in cases where the rights of any people are concerned he would deal squarely and according to law and Constitution, not color. We know of no man whom we would better like to see upon the Supreme Bench than Mr. Eyster; we have been closely connected with him in business matters practically and in all that he has done in the state polite, for a honourable gentleman we first met so many years ago Although Mr. Ester's connection with the newspaper business has been largely from the editorial side, he is a printer of ye olden times, and oil and lond during the past half dozen years he has held office on The Prairie, and we are glad to say that for integrity, honesty and uprightness he stands the equal of any man in the state. He is an able writer, and has been connected with some of the best reform papers in this and other states, among them being The State Record, of which he was editor and proprietor. Mr. Eyster graduated from Penn sylvania College with the degree of A. B., receiving the degree of A. M. two years later for literary work done in the memoirs. He served or notably in the army and was for five years a professor in the Gettysburg Female Institute. He was No. 9, Dept. of Penna., becoming a P. P. C. in 1868. Subsequently he united as a charter member with Post 271, Manhattan, Kans., with which he still retains membership, having been P. Adjt. and Chaplain. He read law in the office of the then district attorney of Adams County, Penna., and was admitted to the bar after a rigid and thoroughly satisfactory examination. In 1869 he homesteaded in the southern part of Washington county, Kans., living there and at Barnes a large part of the time until 1894, when he moved to Manhattan, coming from there to Topeka in 1898. He has had a large experience in educational matters, and upon examinations in this state, received three first grade certificates. He was admitted to practice in the courts of Washington county in 1872, and those of Rileys in 1894. Since coming to Topeka he has been engaged principally in newspaper and literary work. He was one of the proprietors of the North Topeka Daily Newsletter; was with Col. Tomlinson for over a year on the Daily Democrat, carrying on the paper during the sickness of the colonel resulting in his death. The State Record was always an able and fearless exponent of unilateral People's Party principles. North Lawrence, B. F. Bates. Argantine, J. W. Williams. Lawrence, G. A. Griffith. Topka, J. E.

The duty of the young student Negro, in fact his mission in life is, as the recent race riots in Atlanta well emphasize, to work for the reformation and uplift of his weaker and discouraged brother, 'The bad Negro." The bad Negro beings 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 increasing in extent do not encourage the young Negro to be decent or remain decent 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, man-offending Negroes. Does not this encourage the decent and peaceful Negro to become a "bad Negro? Crime grows by what it feed uPon. We applaud the noble utterance of the southern white man to die in protection of his women, and we appaud the same in the young Negro to co likewise in the protection of not only his women but all women. The Negro's 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 ladylike, down go the bars 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 ha. an open license to insult, assault and torment her to his hearts's content, with impunity. The tolerated immoralities and consentional concubinage are too well known to all who have ever lived in the Southland. 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 bestow a laurel wreath upon the head of a southern white man, and make him gifts of 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 teaching Negroes to be peaceful and decent, because it is based upon discrimination, injustice and hypocrisy and both white and black men know it. When the Southern white man can out grow these heritages of slavery to the extent that he will recognize the basic causes, publish the true conditionless instead 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. L. W. S. State Sec'y. Is Thompson Crazy 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 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 worth a great advantage to both races in Kannan, providing the facilities for negro education would be as adequate as for the whites. I don't believe that the host is too good for my 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 uphold instead of so much bitter discrimination as is practiced against the negro. When we come to consider the disadvantages wrought through the propulsional relations existent on the mixed school it is easy to discern how much latter 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 DEMOCRATS ON PENSIONS. Dunsmore Prevaes Democratic Opposition to Liberal Laws. J. M. Dunsmore of who county, the speaker of the Populist house, of representatives of 1903, is fighting Colonel Harris. He says that he is opposed to any candidate who hates old religion as Colonel Harris and his colleague do. In a letter written to the Chanute Tribune, Mr. Dunsmore shows the connection between Harris and Alton H 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: Editor Tribune: I notice that a number of the soldier pension hating papers are devoting considerable space to the ex 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 way to be deemed sufficient for a rating of $12 per month. The democratic party met at St. Louis in July, 1901, and true to the general attitude of the party toward Union soldiers, it could not refrain from criticising its platform this very just order by the president as "an arbitrary executive order," and the nominee of the commission, 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 it 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. Farrelly refusing to support him, and Mr. Johnson declared that he for one would vote forever and continually against such a man, following to Mr. Harris' support of Judge Parker, and his very evident Wall street backing. The Democratic convention held at Topeka on April 25 of this year, by its platform indorsed every line of this soldier-hating platform of 1804. And now we find this Parker Democrat from Chicago, Mr. Harris, and the Democrat statesman from Shawnee county, Mr. Overmayer, going about the state proclaiming themselves special friends of the old soldiers, and asking their votes. PRISON TO PLATFORM. Ex-Convict Making Speeches for Democratic Committee. The Democratic state central committee has collected an aggregation of speakers which probably would win the combination prize in any similar 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 ago. Ella S Burton, who worked for some years as atenographer for the American Book company and quit that position after she had collected a number of secrets which would be of value in a business way to a rival and went with them to a Kansas company, Hugh P Farrelly, who was chairman of the Democratic committee of 1002 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. Terrell is said to be very effective in his story of the wrongs perpetrated on him by the Kansas prison authorities. He believes the state owes him $7,000 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 Democratic audiences that Democrats ought to be offered so that murderers will not be worked so hard in the penitentiary. 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 as cheaply as they are now sold, she changed her tune and said she "is fighting for the education of the little children." Her story is already old. Farrelly lauds Harris and Harris continues to worry about how sorry he is that he fought in the rebel army. Col. Harris has been forced to admit that he used railroad passes during his entire public career. But he says they didn't influence him. As we understand the colonels statement, a railroad pass corrupts every public official except one or two unusually virtuous men. Dave Overmyer was discussing the charge that he was the champion political flopper of the country "Don't take it so hard, Dave," said his friend. "You have company—the Kansas City Star." ST. JOSEPH, MO. A very enjoyable reception was given by Foster Chapter, No. 51, at the residence of Misses Lissie and Ida Johnson to Prof. J. H. Simms, who was elected G. R. P. of the state and its jurisdiction, and Mrs. Essex Allen, who was appointed Hon. G Lady Faith. The rooms were beautifully decorated with autumn flowers and the Chapter colors. In the dining room the table had a centerpiece of Battenburgon which rested a huge vase of flowers; suspended from the ceiling were streamers of the Chapter colors extending to the four corners of the table where were ret candles with red shades. The Chapter color scheme was also carried out in the ice cream and bon bons. Mrs. James H Green and Mrs. James Beck presided at the table, and Misses Lulu Bell and Edna Lee at the punch bowl. Assisting the hostesses were Mrs. David Osborne, Mesdames Abraham Quarrels and Miss Elizabeth Bell. The Rev. and Mrs. J. G. Caldwell left Tuesday to attend conference at Columbus. They will be absent possibly a couple of weeks, visiting Independence, a former charge, and the Kansas City conference. The Clay Philanthropic Reading club met with Mrs. Amos Johnson. After the general routine of business the club proceeded with the study of the lesson. This club is composed of a set of women who are in earnest and guilted by the club's motto, "To the Stars Through Difficulties," they expect to do great things in the future. Mrs Essex Allen was elected treasurer and Mrs. Mason critic, after which light refreshments were served and the club adjourned to meet with Mrs. Mason October 12th. The Douglass Lyceum opened for the season on the evening of Emancipation day. Quite an interesting program was rendered, patriotic songs were sung by the choirs of the several churches in unison. Mrs. Frankie Robinson was up from Kansas City to attend the funeral of Mr. William Hassie. The Charity club met October 5th with Mrs. Laura Welton and elected officers. The funeral of Mr. William. Harris took place at the Francis street Baptist church, of which he was a faithful and very prominent member for many years. His bride of former years preceded him just a year and seven months to that haven of rest, where, we trust, the union of saints above was a happy one. Mr. Harris was also a member of Wilkerson lodge, No. 26, Lone S.ar, R. A. C., No. 19, Northwest Commandery, No. 6, St. George Consistory, Scottish Moslem Temple, Shriners, Odd Fellows, No. 2421, True Reformers, No. 1950 The Whatsoever society met with Mrs. Pauline Lake. Under its auspices the A. M. E church has made quite a number of improvements. The society is composed of only the willing working ladies of the church. Lincoln school, under the principal palship of Prof. J. H. Simms, and his corps of efficient teachers, is overcoming all obstacles, and is being recognized as the leading grammar school of the city. Prof. N. C. Bruce has purchased a home on Twenty fifth street Mr. Weyman Burns has returned from Cape May, N. J., and accepted the position of meat inspector. Richard Gilford and Homer Dale will soon open a colored boarding house, something long needed in St. Joseph.

FROM CORPORATIVE COUNSEL Horace A. Hewlett of Leesworth county, the populist nominee for election, is determined that no popu- list or former populist shall vote for Col. Harris of Chicago this fall without knowing the political record of the Illinois man the Democrats have nominated for Governor of Kansas. Mr. Hewlett is a former political associate of Harris and has an intimate knowledge of the political methods and plans of the Harris Farrelly-wagg- ener crowd of Democrats. When Col. Harris lived in Kansas his residence was in Leavenworth county, Keefor tow was a resident of Leavenworth county and as a leading populist he was thrown much with Harris in the old fusion days when the Pops thought they could depend on the Democrats. While in Topeka attending the meeting of the Populist state central committee Keefar spoke his mind freely concerning Harris and some of the things he said, and will repeat in each speech he makes this fall, are costing the Chicago man hundreds of supporters. Keefer's story of his first suspicion of Harris is interesting. "In 1896 Harris wanted to be the fusion nominee for Governor," he says "Harris has asked me to become a candidate for state senator from Leavenworth county. Harris was defended as a candidate for Governor and came home from the Abilene convention and in order to help him in his scheme to be elected United States senator I withdrew as a candidate for state senator in his favor. Through the influence of myself and some of my Populist friends he was elected state senator and I was made a member of the House. "After the election Harris asked me to come down to his house and participate in a conference regarding proposed railroad legislation I asked who would be there and he said 'Judge Robinson and a few of the boys.' "Do you mean Judge Elihu Robinson, of Kansas City?' I asked. "Yes," he said. "Why,' I replied, 'He is a Missouri Pacific attorney. "T know that,' said Harris, 'but he is a good fellow and he is my brother-in-law. He will give us some good polaters about legislation next winter. You batter come down.' "From that time on I became suspicious of Colonel Harris. I could not understand how he expected to profit or do the people good from 'pointers' which he would receive from a Missouri Pacific attorney. I watched the colonel from that time and found that he was working entirely too much with Judge Robinson, Balle Waggoner, Hugh Farrelly and W. H. Ryan. Ryan, Harris and Farrelly were in the senate that winter, and they worked together to fool the people. They succeeded fairly well in the railroad measure they put through, but they could not fool Governor Leedy. They came so near succeeding that time that they think they can fool the people this year. They are mistaken We will call attention to the fact that Colonel Harris insisted upon being surrounded this year with Ryan and Farrelly. He had worked with these men in some of his former deals and knew that he could get along with them. Consistency is a jewel. Populists who contemplate voting the reubilized pop state ticket this fall should remember that George Hanna, the chairman of the so-called populist organization, was a member of the Kansas state senate during the Leedy administration and fought every bill introduced to redeem the pledges of the populist platform—Independence Times. And yet Senator Hanna voted the same way as did Senator Harris on all important pop measures, including the railroad bill that session Why doesn't the Times denounce Harris, too, instead of supporting him?—Kansas City Journal. Senator Long will describe all of his time from now until the election to the campaign. He has arranged his private business so that he will be free until November. With W. J. Fitzgerald, republican candidate for lieutenant governor, and C. E. Denton, republican candidate for secretary of state Senator Long will make an automobile trip through the five southwestern counties, which have no railroads, next month. The party will start September 17, and will make speeches and campaign through the counties until September 24. --- "David Overmyer, Lightning change artist and red fire expert of the democratic party, is the only living man who can quote from some speech made by himself to prove that he was all one time right on every question." says Gov. Riddle. "This is true, because David has spoken on all sides of all questions that have ever been before the people." Lengworth's Great-Grandfather, Congressman Nicholas Longworth's great-grandfather was a native of Newark, N. J., but in the early part of the last century went to Cincinnati and laid the foundation of the Ohio branch of the family and incidentally made a fortune in real estate. When a man talks through his hat a woman may be pardoned for laughing in her absence. HE DISLIKESBRYAN HE DISLIKESBRYAN W. A. HARRIS CONCEALS HIS HATRED AND NOW DODGES. Desires To Prevent Bryan From Speaking in Kanese. THE DEMOCRATIC PROTESTS ONE OF THE LEADERS GIVES TRUE EXPLANATION. Of Real Attitude of the Chicago Candidate for Governor. "W. J. Bryan will not make speeches in hansas this fall if W. A. Harris can help it," remarked one of the best known Democrats in the state at the conclusion of the Democratic state committee meeting in Topeka last week. "I know Harris has denied the truth of the published statement that he wants no outsiders to come to Kansas this year but his denial is not founded on truth. I was in the meeting and heard the matter discussed so I know what I am talking about. "Harris hates Bryan and makas no secret of his hatred when he thinks himself among friends. Harris knows that Kansas people would like to hear Bryan this fall and that the Nebraska would do the party much good in the state. I do not mean by this that Bryan would make votes for Harris. I think the contrary is true. But Bryan is going to be the Democratic candidate for president in two years and by two or three speeches in Kansas this fall he could stir the voters up so we would have no trouble in carrying the state in 1908 "Harris does not want Bryan elected besides he does not want to stir the Republicans up on national issues this year. The presence of Bryan would draw the lines in the present campaign on a partisan basis. That is the thing Harris does not want and in order to accomplish his own purposes he is willing to injure Bryan's chances in two years. Fearing to openly acknowledge his hatred for Bryan, Harris does a meaner thing and stabs the Nebraskan in the back under the cloak of friendship. It is the old story of Harris—he is for Harris all the time and never for anyone else. I am first a friend of Bryan and do not like to see him get the worst of it from men who should be his friends. While I am supporting Harris you can say that most of the enthusiasm has been taken out of me by Harris' attitude toward Bryan and that there are hundreds more who feel just as I do about it" JACKSON, ALL RIGHT. Next Attorney General Is Honest And Capable. F. S. Jackson, republican candidate for attorney general probably is one of the best qualified men for the place he seeks of the candidates on any ticket. He is the present assistant attorney general and has had a great deal to do with the work of his department in making trouble for the tenants and big corporations. He has devoted his time to a study of the inquiries of the trust problem and probably is as well informed on the subject as any lawyer in the state and in much better condition to handle such problems than any candidate against him. Mr. Jackson is one of the brightest of the young atrotnes in the state. He has practiced law for a number of years in Greenwood county and was county attorney there for a term. He made one of the best prosecuting officers the county ever had and it was largely on account of the good record he made in that office that he was selected to fill the place of assistant attorney general when Jay F. Close died. He has declared himself in favor of those reforms which the Republican party has been advocating for years and he will be one of the strong men of the next state administration. He has repeatedly said that he will do what he can to bring about reforms wanted by the people while his opponent David Overmeyer, goes up and down the state discussing any issue to keep away from state reforms.

Harris with Governor Folk of Missouri and to make its readers believe that conditions in Kansas are as bad as they were in Missouri when Folk was elected. The attempt to make the people of Kansas believe that Harris is of the same brand as the governor of Missouri is laughable. How many people recall a single action of Harris, during the six years he was United States senator from this state that is worth remembering. Even his maach admirer, the Star, can find only one qualification which ought to command him to the people—that of his honesty. The time has come when honesty is not the only qualification needed by a man who would manage the affairs of a state. It would be a very difficult matter for the Star to convince Kansas people that Harris is any more honest than Governor Nech and as for being as well qualified in other ways, the argument is all on the Nech side of the question. Colonel Harris served the state six years and left no record on his deeds behind him. ballot by the following title: "The probate-judge amendment to the constitut and all be voted for or against as provided by law under such title.

Patrick Plunkett, a well known Irish man of Portland, Me, wished to be elected an officer of some well known society. The members having assembled 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. This time he cried out: "But be d—if I take it."
