Two Thousand People Heard Them Tuesday Evening at the Auditorium To Shawnee county Republican campaign was opened at the auditorium Tuesday evening by Prof. W. P. Vernon and Senator Chase I. Long. There were over two thousand in the audience and the distinguished orators were interrupted several times with applause. Senator Long took the hide off Senato Lafollotte and his sympathizers. He proved to the satisfaction of the audience that Heart, Bryan and Lafollotte were mere fakes, trying to deceive the American people. Senator Long read some very important letters, which had not before been made public, in which he showed that Harris, the democratic candidate for governor, had endorsed his policy on the rate bill, and that the beard of trade of Wichita had changed horses several times. Prof. Vernon followed Senator Long, and in a masterly address, paid a glowing tribute to the Republican party and its founders. He showed the great things done by that since its organization. He implored and beseeched the Negroes not to be led off by these so called leaders who are trying to fool the race into voting for the party that, if in control, will submit the 13th, 14th and 15th amendments to the Supreme Court, if the Democrats ever get in control of that body to pass upon the constitutionality of the same. He showed how dangerous for the Negroes to vote for a Democratic governor, who may have the opportunity of appointing United States Senator, confirmed by United States Judges. After the meeting a number of persons rushed forward and congratulated Prof. Vernon upon his masterly address, assuring them of its strength, and that they would not be found voting for a Democratic governor, especially a rebel of the South.

Hurst of the St. Stephens Baptist church of that city. He is a worthy gentleman and a raceman from start to finish. Through some misunderstanding some one tried to foreclose on this church, and the pastor only made a little distress sign and raided the money within twenty-four hours. He has a large congregation, lots of admirers and friends, and is in a community where a church is very much needed. The good work he is carrying on is to be commended. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 19, 1906. DEFENDED THEIR HOMES! South Carolina Negroes Avenge Wrongs by Burning a City---White Ruffians Get a Dose of Their Own Medicine. ATWYLL, Ga. Oct. 17. - A special to the Journal from Greenville, N. C. massi. "As a result of race troubles, Senectus, N.C., is in ashes. The work is alleged to be that of incendury Negroes, seeking revenge for the dynamiting of the Negro college here last Friday night. The fire started only today and burned rapidly, consuming the entire business section of the town, which has a population of about 2,000. No fire fighting apparatus was available and citizens were powerless to stop the flames. As a last resort dynamite was resorted to. The superintendent of the Seneca cotton mill, who was an eye witness, brought the first news to Greenville. He says it is a matter of common belief that the fire was started by Negroes. Among the buildings burned are two hotels and a hardware store. The hotel residents were all saved. Everything is quiet this morning, although some feeling is still shown by the Negroes. No arrests have been made. The loss is estimated at $150,000, with insurance of $50,000. "Praise God, from whom all blessings flow!" The colored people are at last coming to their natural sense. We are advising this method; where ELENO, Ok., Oct. 16--It became known here today that E. A. Garlington, inspector general of the United States army, read an order from President Roosevelt several days ago to the battalion of the Twenty-fifth regiment of infantry here stating that the battalion must give the names of the men in the recent Brownsville, Texas, disturbance or be dishonorably discharged. The trouble in Brownsville was between these negro troops and the citizens. The townspeople had the Southern prejudice against Negroes and the troops resented it. Each side insists it did not begin the trouble, but there was trouble and several citizens were shot, one of whom died. The troops were ordered away and a temporary order was issued to abandon the fort. Since then the opinion has been growing that the troops were to blame, but it has been impossible so far to find the guilty men. TO REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT. The inspector general came here from San Antonio He left here today for Washington. His inspection tour took in Brownsville, Tex. Three of the companies of the Twenty-fifth, B, C and D are now at Fort Reno. Saturday General Gatlington had the companies lined up on the parade grounds and gave them to understand that unless he was given information as to which of the men were mixed up in the leavers mound, but the there could The time limit was extended day but it was revealed the order road to the soldiers was closed from President Roosevelt. General G. Bunting made inquiries and took the law and the officers we lay in their duty the people will have to act. As soon as the colored people in the south learn to defend their lives, property and all that depends upon them, the sooner these white vultures will cease preying upon them. If a little coal oil, or gasoline is used at the proper time it will stop most any mob. Whenever one of these mobs arrives, place five or six men or boys in different portions of the city or town, with orders to burn. Instead of the mob looking for colored people to kill it will have to fight fire. An organization of from five to ten persons is all that is needed—women would be more preferable. It is a fixed policy on the part of Southern officers to let these white human vultures have their way. The colored man must do something for protection. We admire the parties who had the courage to make an example of Seneca city. From now on, the officers should do their duty, and the good citizens should see to it that everyone should have fair treatment. "Vengeance is mine, saith the Lord." NICK SULLIS. several allidavits, but no final steps were taken to carry out the diminual part of the order. The Negro soldiers are restless and since coming here from Texas have been kept within bounds of the garrison. Several nights ago a shot was fired at the quarters of Major Penrose, post commandant, by one of the Negroes. This statement is denied but the soldiers assert that it is true and corroborate their statements by saying that immediately after the shot the entire garrison was ordered out and an examination made of the guns and revolvers. There is apprehension of more trouble, as the Negro soldiers are chasing under the restraint of the rigid discipline. The old soldiers view with alarm the prospect of dishonorable discharge but the younger ones do not seem to care much. It is understood that General Galtington has gone direct to Washington to lay his report before President Roosevelt and Secretary Tift In the meantime the white soldier at the post are guarding with extra care the boundary lines of the gunman to prevent any members of the three companies from leaving the post. The officers express the utmost confidence in the men and say they don't look for any trouble Officers at the post do not want to be quoted. Those who had any thing to say stated there could hardly be many dismissals made. The soldiers in these companies have served for a long time most of them being twenty or years old and they are discharged as soon as possible for all future compulsory service. The total ones of honorably discharged soldier are up from £200 to £300 a year. The younger ones say they would go in the cotton fields and be glad of the change. M. REV. E. ARLING FON WILSON, president of the State Baptist Convention. He is a gentleman of rare ability and stands high in the councils of church and state. While the Negroes of Kansas City have evidenced remarkable enterprise in other directions, especially in home buying and church building, they have not kept pace in the business spirit of newer Kansas City. Certainly there are fewer Negroes in business here, compared with the great and growing Negro population, than is the case in any other city of like conditions and opportunities. In Kansas City, it is in many other places throughout the middle West and border states, the white people are high number and liberal in their views towards self-respecting Negroes, and are frequently found to be the best support the Negro in business here. This is especially true in the case of drug stores owned and operated by Negroes in parts of the city where respectable white people comprise a large portion of the population to the immediate neighborhood. For the credit of the men who conduct these stores it may be said that their places are kept sereniously clean and inviting, their windows bright and tastily dressed with a display of desirable sundries such as are on exhibition in other first class shops in their line. They are also as a rule free of the habitual loiter or "chair winer" as they are usually called, a definition applied to one of the most detectable human nuisances with which the Negro in business has to contend. Thus here who is invariably one who claims and hopes always to keep on terms of close friendship to the shop keeper or professional man who has a warm stove to lounge around, is a plague most peculiar to Negroes as the white loater is rarely, if ever, on visiting terms with the better and busy class of his race, and why should the Negro in business continue to tolerate so damaging a detriment to his business? Why not, if occasion demands, use stern means to protect your business, and at the same time do the race a great service by protecting its reputation against the habitual loater. If the police are disposed to permit him to go undisturbed it is at least the duty of the race to refuse him respectable quarters.—The National [K. C.] Mirror. At Iola. We were glad to have the pleasure while in Iola last week, of visiting Mr. and Mrs. Alex Reeves and their happy family. Mr. Reeves is employed in the cement works and one of his sons in the laboratory. This is a young man yet in his teens and now earning $60 per month. Two fine boys and one little girl, who is the pride of the household, comprise the family. They have just remodeled their beautiful home and have made it modern in every way. NUMBER 41 uare Meals a Day! DEFENDS THE NEGRO RACE! A White Woman Speaks a Kind Word in Favor the Negro. A claim is made that the Negro is above and beyond all other men the one who is addicted to the lowest passions of minkind. If anyone is destroys of having a clear view on this matter, I have a list of crimes of this sort which have been committed by white men, who go scott free almost every time and, in fact, not one tenth are ever so much as mentioned. It's so common that it's hardly noticed. Mothers are shamed to have their little ones dragged into court to testify, and they would rather hush it up. What does come into the daily papers often are published on the same page which records a lynching or burning for a supposed crime of the same kind by a colored man. James J. Hill, the railroad mag nate, when asked with regard to the race question, what his opinion was, answered that the Negro women must be uplifted. The Negro women are uplifted. Go where you will, from the highest to the lowest, you will find they compare more than favorably with any other women of any other race. Whatever he claims, they are slaves of their own race, the victims of the white man's lust. Did he ever hear of the camps of Michigan, where miserable white girls were kept in stockades? The white man must control his lust before we set up in judgment on his colored mother, and then remember he is supposed to belong to the superior race. He further says that the yellow natives are the offspring of lust (he didn't say the white man's lust). Well, it was not the black man's annault. That was the black woman's sorrow and the white man's shame. Not one shadow of blame can be laid on the shoulders of those unhappy mothers, on their martyred souls. God forever bless them! What grand natures they had! What they suffered when their own dear children were matched from their breasts to be supplanted by the white man's child, whose mothers shirked their duties to their own CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX.

Defends the Negro Race. Continued from Page One offspring, and from those dear black mothers have artisen men and women of whom the whole world will yet be proud. There is in the Negro woman a natural refinement that no other race possesses today. It is high time for those public murders to stop. It is a burning disgrace to the American flag. It's a disgrace to every minister in the United States that they don't get up and preach against it, and if the governors and sheriffs can't do their duty to protect our citizens, then, let them step down and out. They don't give the Negro a chance to explain or clear himself, but on the word of any kind of a woman they elamor for blood. It's the clamor of the souls of murderers, no, the votes of justice. God Almighty help this nation. Wait until the children of this generation are grown sons and daughters of those mhuman wretches, and then they will begin to realize what they have grown. MRS. I. M. WATING. ATCHISON KANS. A new athletic, social and literary circle has been organized. The name is Therese, in honor of the new Moe in the family of Dr. Hudson.

Two prominent names are mentioned for republican and democratic candidates for mayor. "If you run, I wont run. In either case a weak man must be put up on the opposite."

Dunsmore of Noosho 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 soldiers as Colonel Harris and his colleagues do. In a letter written to the Chanute Tribune, Mr. Dunsmore shows the connection between Harris and Alton is Parker and between the Kansas Democratic platform and the platform adopted by the Democratic national convention two years ago. The letter in part is as follows: I notice that a number of the soldier pension hating papers are 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 anidential fact that where an applicant for pension has passed 62 years of age he is disabled one half in ability to perform manual labor, and so by graduation to the age of 70 years, when that fact was to be deemed sufficient for a rating of $12 per month. The Democratic party met at St. Louis in July, 1904, and true to the general attitude of the party toward Union soldiers it could not refrain from criticising in its platform this very just order by the president as "an arbitrary executive order," and the nominee of that convention, Judge Parker, in his letter of acceptance, referring to pensions and the Democratic platform said, "It denies the right of the executive to usurp the power of congress. . . . Such usurpation was attempted by pension order No. 78, and effect has been given to it by a congress that dared not resout 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 eternally against such a man" referring 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 1904. And now we find this Parker Democrat from Chicago, Mr. Harris, and the Democrat statesman from Shawnee county, Mr. Overmyer, about the state proclaiming themselves special friends of the old soldiers, and asking their votes.

Terrell, formerly an inmate of the Kansas penitentiary where he served a sentence for a murder committed in Oklahoma fourteen years ago. Dilla S. Burton, who worked for some years as stenographer 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 1902 and liberally distributed railroad passes to speakers and candidates, and Colonel W. A. Harris, a Chicago importation, who is running for governor of the state. 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 improvement and confinement at fixed labor without the process of law. He has earned that suit be instituted for this amount and in the meantime he will try to convince Democratic leaders that Democrats ought to be worried 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 says she "is fighting for the education of the little children." Her story is already old. Farrelly leads 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 colonel's 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 supporter of the country. "Don't take it so hard, Dave," said his friend. "You have company—the Kansas City Star."

IOLA NOTES. One of the most successful and pleasant of the many surprise parties of the season was given by Mrs. Addie Williamson on last Saturday evening at their beautiful home on South Walnut St., the affairs being in honor of Mr. Williamson's 32nd birthday.

Notice! Take warning. We now notify you to get ready; buy shot guns and rifle, and put them in your house, and prepare to protect yourselves and your families. The Texas and Arkansas trash are preparing to take charge of the new state and thereupon fall upon your 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. Convention. The Baptist State convention met in its annual session at Ft. Scott last week and also the Women's Auxiliary of Home and Foreign Mission work. It was one of the most prosperous and successful sessions ever held in the history of the Baptists of this state, from every standpoint Rev. E Arlington Wilson, president of the convention, and Mrs Emma Gaines, president of the Women's Auxiliary, are to be commended for the great work they are carrying on in this state for the upbuilding of the cause of religion, humanity and the baptist denomination. They were both re elected to their respective positions from the fact of the great work they have accomplished and the great confidence reposed in them by the members. The annual addresses of these officers showed that they had given considerable study and attention to the work, and covered every phase of the business pertaining to the organization. The Baptist Courier, under the management of Wilson, of Wichita, has proven to be a success the convention had a few days pushed stations, among whom Roy Sutton L.

Separate two public schools shall be established for the education of children of African descent. Provided that in districts where there are less than fifteen colored children of school age it shall be favored for them to attend school with white children of some. A law treaties are mentioned here in support of proposition Missouri has many school districts where in the number of colored children is less than fifteen. There are some counties contain less than fifteen. Parents have to send their children away from home, pvt board and transportation for their education. Relief from needless burdens is hereby sought. Since Missouri's sister states on the east, north and west have mixed schools she could be inclined to make the foregoing provision for her isolated children of African descent.

Scott may feel themselves blessed by having such a distinguished business man and gentleman as Mr. Goodlander for mayor. A GRAVE QUESTION. A Southern newspaper, remarkably liberal on the race question, has been having much to say of late on the effect of lynching upon immigration. This very distinguished journal decides after much deliberation that the people of the South cannot hope to secure a fair proportion of the many thousands of Europeans, who come annually to this country to find homes and remunerative employment. It is a well known fact that very little immigration has gone into the South. This, it is claimed, is due to the peculiar position of the white Southerners towards the Negro. The record of the many burnings and lynchings of Negroes goes to the uttermost parts of the earth, tending to nullify the agricultural, mineral and financial reports of Southern prosperity that accompany them. It is a well known fact that a strong effort has been made for the past ten years by Southern business men, to divert a portion of the immigration from the West to the South, for the purpose of securing a laboring class to take the place of the Negro. No class of people, especially the foreigner, cares to cast their lot among a people whose chief claim for a front seat among the notorious is that they burn the victims of their displeasure and grove among the acres hunting for hones that they may have a fitting souvenir of their revolting holiday. The question of labor is a grave one to the South with its great prospects. What the South needs now is not so much immigration as it does good common sense in dealing with the best class of labor the world has ever known. As a labor element the Negro, when properly treated, is the most delicate, industrious, and will work longer hours than any other race. But what he needs is intelligent direction. He needs not only intelligent direction from those of his own race, but from the so-called dominant class as well. Booker Washington may found a thousand schools and preach the doctrine of industrial education until the "crack o' doom", and there will be but slight change in the condition of things in the South, unless the white men of the South put a little common sense into the adjustment of the races' relations. LINCOLN INSTITUTE NOTES. At no previous time in the world's history has that ancient and honorable occupation known as agriculture received the scientific attention that has been accorded it within the last decade, and yet, although it is generally admitted that "the farmer is the only real master of his destiny," farming methods, at the present, in spite of advanced ideas, as some one has well said, are little more than "a light scratching of the soil." To render this "scratching" more productive of results is the aim of the many Farmer's Institutes and conventions that have multiplied within the last few years; and that they have enabled the white farmer to grow two grains where only one grew before, indicates what the Negro farmer can do if he will learn to be wise in his day and generation; if he will learn proper methods of cultivation, fertilization and proper rotation of crops. Hence the call for the Annual Farmer's Convention, issued by President Allen, for November, 9, 06, at Lincoln Institute, should meet with a hearty response from all interested in the future of the Negro. Every school house in the United States, as has been demonstrated again and again by our able State Superintendent of Public Instruction in Missouri, Hon. W. T. Carrington, can and should join the new crusade for better methods in agriculture—the oldest of arts and sciences, the cornerstone of all civilization. Let us come together irrespective of state lines and discuss ways and means of improving the condition of the Negro. Remember the date, NOVEMBER 9, 1906. The concert given by the Y. M. C. A. on the 12th inst., under the auspices of Prof. Reynolds, was a great success, financially and otherwise. Among those who participated in the program was Miss Ida Burrell, Department of Domestic Science, who an usual delighted the audience and covered herself with glory. These religious societies, the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. are in a flourishing condition and help materially in elevating the tone of student life. Regular visits are made by the State Secretaries and others interested in this national and international work. Banke- Emil Schott and family, of Jefferson City, E. J. Cooper, of Mexico, Mrs. Gorse, of St. Louis, were among the visitors of the week. The sermon delivered by Rev. F. F. Fisher, of the Jefferson City, Zion A. M. E. church, on Sunday, 14th inst., was highly appreciatrd. VINITA, I. T. To the Editor: Please allow me space in the columns of your valuable paper to say a few words which may be of some interest to the reader concerning the the duties which we justly owe to our country, to our fellow men and to our children, as true American-born citizens of these United States First, every child born into the world, be he white black or red, has the same rights and privileges as an American citizen, and as years and experience are forced upon them, and not unless the early years have been so carefully provided with the warm sunshine of love and sympathy, that in heart has its own happiness, its own sunshine, can the larger duties be successfully and cheerfully performed. Second, every Negro of the American continent, should be a Republican, and ought to live up to the true principles of Republicanism; and not until such is taught and practiced will the Negro share equal rights and privileges which justly and rightfully are due him. We have among us those who are considered would be leaders, who are doing all they can to speed the progress of the Republican party by taking the fool ignorant Negroes and selling their votes for a dollar. Such men will not only sell their own votes, but they are such traitors that they will sell their wives' and daughters' virtue. And the sooner such men are dead and in hades the better off their communities will be. Any and every white man has a perfect right to vote the Democratic ticket if he chooses, but how can a Negro afford it? Can you vote and support a party which curses you ere you are born, will punish you while you live, and damn you after you are dead? I will answer no The Democrats can not and will not make or form any law that will effect the white Republicans more so than themselves, and the white Republican, knowing that he can and does enjoy all the rights and privileges as an American citizen will not deprive the Negro of his rights, but pleads that he must stay with the party. The Democratic party, I suppose, is a good party, and it has belonging to it some among the best men that ever trod the American soil. And they are honest in their convictions, but the Negro that claims to be a Democrat and acting in that capacity is in doubt, and doubt has its place, for no true faith is possible except through questioning and denial. The man who claims he has never doubted has never believed. His faith is only a matter of the acceptance of the views of others, and is in danger of vanishing at the first assault. All influences, acquirements and aspirations which tend to make a better man, also tend to make a better Republican. Lasting impressions are made upon our people, not so much by what we say as by what we really are. Hence, everything that broadens our vision and deepens our political life is an aid to more effective work. It is a law of life that we must improve or deteriorate. It is not possible to maintain a dead level of excellence and if we are not continually sharpening our skill we are surely dulling our efficiency. Be men, and prove yourselves as useful citizens. COFFEYVILLE, KANS. Nest. Johnson returned to Omaha, Nebr. Monday, after a few days stay in the city, being called here by the death of his brother, William Johnson.

Tenn., and other southern points where she spent a pleasant time visiting friends. Miss Kate Hoe returned Sunday from Omaha, where she has been the guest of her sister, Mrs. Ed Hurt, for several weeks. Mrs. Frankie Jarrett and Miss Walter Crockett, who have been visiting in Excelsior Springs, and Kansas City, Mo., and Omaha, Nebr. for the past five weeks, have returned. The O. P. S. club gave its opening party Friday evening at Netropolitan hall. Most of the elite of the city were present, and all enjoyed themselves immensely. A number of Lawrence and Emporia people came up to attend and declared this no exception to the grand scale on which all the parties given by the Topeka leaders are given. Dr. W F Veron, Registrar of the United State, Treasury, and Dr H B Parks, editor of "The Voice of Missions," and Secretary of the board of missions of the A. M. B church, were in the city this week. Dr. Vernon spoke at Lawrence last night and will speak at Oakaloosa next Tuesday night. Thousands were present to witness the triumph of Vernon over his enemies. Victory is his, who perseveres and knows himself to be in the right. FIRST AFRICAN BAPTIST CHURCH The Sewing Circle will meet this afternoon with Mrs. Henry Brad shaw on East Locust street. The Sunday School and Christian Endeavor will meet at their usual hours. Visitors especially welcome. The officers held an important meeting Tues ay night and were to report to the members last night. The rally will be held on the third Sunday in November, instead of in this month, as erroneously stated in last week's paper. The protracted meeting will continue this week with Rev, J. K Rich ardson preaching for us. It is hoped that much good will be their ultimate result. Miss Lizzle Owens is preparing a young people's play which will be presented in the near future for the benefit of the church. The play is entitled "Crowning the King of Sheba" Reward will be paid to any person who can find one atom of opium, chloral, morphine, cocaine, ether or chloroform in any form in any of Dr. Miles' Remedies. This reward is offered because certain unscrupulous persons make false statements about these remedies. It is understood that this reward applies only to goods purchased in the open market, which have not been tampered with in any way Dr. Miles' remedies cure by their soothing, nourishing, strengthening and invigorating effects upon the nervous system, and not by paralyzing and weakening the nerves as would be the case if these drugs were used. For this reason Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are universally considered the best pain remedy. "I have suffered for 35 years with so much pain that my head hurt and back and have tried not thing I could get and could not find any relief until I got a box of Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills. I suffered as long as 13 hours at a time with such severe pains that I feared I would lose my mind. The Anti-Pain Pills gave me relief in from 19 to 20 minutes. I do not suffer from any pain. I wish you would publish this so that other sufferers may find relief." L. A. WALKER. R. F. D. No. 6 Nelson, Ind.

Mr. Adam Vernon of Lebanon, Mo., father of the registrar of the U. S. treasury, was ordained minister at the A. M. E., conference in Kansas City, Mo., last week by the Rt Rev. A. Grant. Rev Vernon is a venerable, distinguished and intelligent gentleman. His son was present and assisted in the ceremony. We are in receipt of a card from Will Henderson, one of our Popka boys, who is now enjourning in Las Vegas, N. M., and who says he had to thrash a dozen (more or less) white cads, who dared to criticise the article which appeared in last week's PLAINDEAER, on the outrages perpetrated in Atlanta, Ga. We congratulate Mr. Henderson for standing up for the principles that have been instilled into him from early childhood, as so many young Negroes in the same position would have been cowed down and put to flight by their pale faced brethren. Mrs. Andrew Weatherly and her little daughter, Algetha, and son, Alphonso, left Thursday night for a visit to her father in-law, Robert Weatherly, at Lawton, Oklahoma. Mr. Weatherly, for nearly twenty years a resident of Topeka, is now a prominent resident of Lawton, where he went before the opening of the Kiowa and Comanche country for settlement. He is the first colored inhabitant of Lawton, as well as one of its most energetic and enterprising citizens. Mrs. Weatherly will visit also in Texas and likely go to Galveston. On her return trip she will stop at other Oklahoma towns and at Newton and Wichita. Rising Sun Fire Insurance Co. OF THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

WHY? WAY? The character of a community is known by its citizens. The thrifty and intelligent element adds glory and excellence to the business and institutions of the community in which they live. It is the duty of all good citizens to see to it that their influence is such in the community as to be helpful to all. No person has the individual right to so live as to hinder any other person in the pursuit of the best things in life. We are to be helpful to each other in all things for good. Too much toitering on the streets, and purposeless promenading the thoroughfares and standing and congregating around and at the transfer station—such things are productive of evil both to those who are guilty of such and to all who are in any way connected with them. Do not congregate in public places unreasonably. CHURCH OF SE SIMON In Vapors of the church of St minus gave a musicale at Guy's had of today. The blowing pro- gram was not fired.

Parents throughout the entire West show appreciation of our work, and are sending their roos and daughters to be trained for the practical purposes of life. Our increase room gives us space for a few more students. The tailoring department is being kept very busy making overalls and office coats. In addition to the school work the department also has orders for other patrons. This department always has a large supply of work on hand, and is one of the most lucrative trades our young men can follow. Good tailors are always in demand. Several of the young men are working Saturdays on adjoining farms. This work offers excellent opportunities for earnest young men to earn money to help themselves through school. The farmers are anxious to secure our boys. Major J. M. Brown, one of our most progressive farmers, recently gave us a load of fruit and a hog.

BOLEY Indian Territory eyes are upon the Indian Territory. More money is going to be made in the Indian Territory in the next few years than in any section of the country. In no section of the country has the Negro risen with such rapidity to financial imminence. BOLEY The exclusive Negro town of the territory, offers excedtional oppors as to location and general resources to Negro farmers, orchardists, stock raisers and investors. The adaptability of the soil to growing all kinds of grain, fruits and truck would make a mill and elevator, also a canning factory paying investments.

It seemed that most of them not for a long time in that direction. It got so common among our people that whenever we were to be a gathering of our kind especially the so-called people the blunt rigs would follow them up. I remember myself, that the C.M.F. conference was held in Duunt, testing about two days. I know of one single blind tiger in the little town in one day on the closing had sold to prachacha only $10,000 worth of Blind Tiger whiskey. It was well known and supposed among the salamanders in Memphis that they would do a hog killing business during the Negro convention, and all preparations were made to that effect. But, to my surprise and the thrills, the Negroes pressed up and down the streets in Memphis by one hundred and two hundreds, giving to the salamanders the same attention that Christ gave Cocino when he pressed him. We hast not been keeping with our overtime. Now the authorities say that the two men were above them and their plaques of business.

"You Shall Know the Truth and the Truth Shall Set You Free." Truth Shall Set You Free. Free to enjoy the blessings of God. Into the Almighty God, who made the things in the sea and the sea, give glory. From this time on give the Lord his full divine praise and worship the one God. SANFORD W. KING, Prop. who fashioned the heavens and the earth long ago. I appeal unto you and those that hear, hold the truth, which was handed down from God, the same gospel which was acted, lived, given, and fulfilled by Jesus Christ, the pure gospel and no other. The hopeful in God are beholdy by God now, if you have persuaded or have sent others to antagonize any Christian or Christians, just stop it, for your own good, from this time forward. Please mark the time. Into those men and women who have obviously trifled with God's messenger, they have called forth God's despireance. New, my God will not stay his hand, until he sends forth judgment unto victory. God don't like the violence, and he don't have to take it. And God won't take it. He has set a time for it to fall and stop and it will stop. In fact, mankind is too little and too small to rebel against such a strong God. I tell you and those which hear these words to keep you and them out of the path of God's anger. But you all are at liberty to use your own opinion about those words either take them for the he or for the truth. Anyway you have heard the "World." It is best for all to repent and repent it. It is unto God. VALE. KANSAS Rev. Green and Banks have returned from conference, repeting a good time. Rev. Green will take charge of the church at Chimute and Rev. Bunkler at Yale.

It is the only paper that I have ever read, in which I can really see what the Negro is doing. I might appre- tate your article in this week's paper in regard to the treatment of the Negro at Atlanta, ta., and other southern states.

W. A. HARRIS CONCEALS HIS HATRED AND NOW DODGERS. Bedroom To Prevent Bryan From Speaking in Kansas. 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 speech in Kansas this fall if W. A. Harris can help it," remarked one of the best known Democrats in the state at the conclusion of the Democratic state committee meeting in Tepaoka last week. "I know Harris has desided the truth of the published statement that he wants no outsiders to come to Kansas this year but his denial is not founded on truth. I was in the meeting and heard the matter discussed so I know what I am talking about. "Harris hates Bryan and makes no secret of his hatred when he thinks himself among friends. Harris knows that 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. This 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 Heset And Capable. F. R. 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 trusts and big corporations. He has devoted his time to a study of the iniquities 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 atrovers 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. NO SIMILARITY. Comparison of W. A. Harris With Governor, Folk in Amherst Governor Polk is Amusing. The Kansas City Star (Dem) tries to compare Colosseo W. A. Harris with Governor Polk of Missouri and to make its readers believe that conditions in Kansas are as bad as they were in Missouri when Polk was alerted. 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 stance admirer, the Star, can find only one qualification which ought to command him to the people—that of his honesty. The time has some 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 Heck and so for being as well qualified in other ways, the argument is all on the Heck side of the question. Colosseo Harris served the state six years and left no record or big deeds behind him. GOVERNOR HOCH CAUSES CONSTERNATION IN DEMOCRATIC CAMP. Replies to Charges Concerning Text-Book Commission. NO NEW BOOK CONTRACTS HAVE BEEN MADE BY THE PRESENT; ADMINISTRATION. Democratic Managers Compelled to Abandon Another Trail. The Kansas City Star (Dem) has worn out two or three "issues" during this campaign, seeking one on which it might be possible to defeat Governor Hoech. The first issue tried and discarded was the enforcement of the prohibitory law. The next issue was that of the famous "Katy" suit. The Star continued to worry this worn-out rag long after its Democratic followers in Kansas had given up the discussion and were looking for something which could be made to appear wrong. The Democratic managers, with the assistance of Ella Burton, a stenographer who has changed places as often as she has learned the secrets of one employer which might be valuable to another, found the next "issue." This was school books and the state text book commission which approves the books used in the schools of the state. Ella sent up a wall of enquiries over "the wrongs of the little children of Kansas, inflicted by Governor Hoch and his text book commission." One would think to have listened to Ella that Governor Hoch had appointed a set of thugs and told them to hold up and rob children en route to school. The new "issue" pleased the Kauai as City Star and with its usual lack of forewight it plumed headlong into the game without stopping to make an examination. Governor Hoch allowed the force to proceed for two or three weeks and then issued a statement which has put this "issue" out of business and sent the Democrats to looking for another one In his statement issued in reply to the text book charge the governor merely cited a few facts. He called attention to the fact that the state text book commission has not had a meeting under his administration and that the books now in use in the public schools of the state are those adopted by the text book commission selected by Governor Bailey. The next meeting of the commission will not be held until next spring. The governor also declared that the state is getting as good books and getting them cheaper than neighboring states. There are eight members of the state commission. The governor, says they will compare favorably in hpneity, integrity and morally with any eight men on the staff of the Kansas City Star. The statement is clear and concise and has taken the wind out of Democratic sails. Meanwhile a search has begun for a new issue. RECORD OF DEMOCRATS. Some of the Proofs of Insincerity and Inconsistency. Col Harris, of Chicago, Democratic candidate for Governor of Kansas, is keeping well away from the anti pass plank of the Democratic platform recently. He has realized the utter in consistency of his position and fears that too ardent clamor on that issue will direct attention to the lamentable weakness of his own record. Col Harris repeatedly held public office in Kansas during the days of his residence in this state but never did he hold a public office that he did not use railroad passes throughout his term. And that is not all. He did not quit using railroad passes until the Democratic state committee this year passed a resolution directing all Democratic candidates to pay railroad fare This is not the first campaign in which the Democrat have had an anti-pass plank in their state platform either. In 1902 the Democrat platform declared the railroad pass to be an "invidious evil" and pledged the party to the abolition of the pass Senator Harris was a candidate for rejection to the United States senate then and was one of the chief spellenders of the Democratic campaign Despite the anti-pass plank in his party platform Harris rode on rail and passes throughout the 1902 camaign. H. P. Farrelly, now the Democratic nominee for lieutenant governor and in 1902 chairman of the Democratic state committee and manager of the campaign, rode on a pass throughout the campaign. Worse than that. Although pledged to use the party machinery to abolish the pass, Farrelly used the state committee in 1902 as a sort of agency for the distribution of passes. Every Democratic candidate for state office rode on passes throughout that campaign. The passes were procured through Farrelly and the Democratic committee. The anti-pass plank in the Democratic platform in 1902 was written by David Overnoyer. The same man wrote the anti-pass plank this year. The plank meant nothing in 1902. Does it mean anything this year with the same set of folks who treated it as a joke in 1902 in control of the Democratic machinery? The burning need of the Kansas democrat is a live issue which will not explode while they are in the act of handing it out to the people. Annual Sermon to Thirty-First Session of Kaugae Conference. Subject: "The glorious harvest" Text: Psalm 120, 5th and 10th verses "They that sow in tears shall reap joy." "He that gorth forth and wepeth bringing spousal shall doublet come again bringing his sheaves with 11th." It is said that this Psalm has reference to the close of the captivity of the collien of Israel and was written by Hippie Ze'eriah, or by Fran. It is unfulfilled and highly descriptive of the christian stances which it represents. When Olympian published his decree in favor of the Jews, living them liberty to return to their own land and country and to rebuild their city and temple again, the news was so unexpected that they doubled for a time the truth of the proclamation. They behaved it was too good news to be true and thought the news in a dream or a delusion. And although all were interested in what was spoken none could trust his own ears. But in question one of the other if this was really true when he gave reputation of the old tidings it was continued there at a great soul no company by a repeated clipping of hands which clearly showed that no news was so good to the multitude as that of liberty. They went forth into captivity sowing in tears. They returned to Jerusalem tracing in joy. He that gave to them and was spitting precious seed shall double his coming precious seed shall double his coming again reposing him, and his shows with him. He loved to touch weeping, bearing precious seed of memory, be waving and trusting in their hearts that they would come again to rebuild the Temple of Israel in their holy city Jerusalem, bringing them with them. This beautiful figure represents the true condition of the minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. To rightly understand it we must consider Christ as having and beloved. First, he is the beloved of his father, the express image of his father's glory, the only goddam of his father, which was in the bosom of the father, representing the divine affection of his father. The father loveth the son and hath given all things into his hands. He has given him the church, and its government is upon his shoulders. He has commissioned his son and given him power to radiate sinners from the course of the law. He has given him the treasure of infinite grace with which to bless them and hath called him and given him a name above all other names. Christ is the beloved of angels from all eternity, in every stage of his life from his birth in Bethlehem's manger to his death on Golgotha's Hill they loved him. At his barth great crowds of angels concensed from heaven and honored over the place where there incarnated loyl in the manger and sang. "Glory be to God on high, peace on earth and good will to all men," and at his temptation angels administered unto him and encouraged him for the mighty task before him and when in the garden of Gethsemani they were there and strengthened Him to stand in that awful hour of agony, and on the cross they saw him expire. "Around the bloody tree They pressed with a strong desire, That wondrous sight to see. The lord of life expire. And could their eyes have known a tear, If had dropped there in sad surprise? They watched his grave and rolled away the stone from the squabber, and opened the prison doors that the rising con- quer might match forth. They formed his glorious followers, when he ascended up in the chariot of God. "Yes when arrived in light, the shin- ing companion pole. They raised his upptuous flight, up to the throne of God and waved around their golden wings and struck their strings of sweet sounds, and now in heaven hosts for the daring of angels." His name sounds from all that hops and his love is the subject of all that songs and saints and angels join in one and much in splendor to his throne, singing in loud voice, "Worthy is the lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world." "Jesus the Lord that harps employ, Jesus my love they sang Bless me my love they sing Jesus the name of both our joys Christ is the beloved of his people. Unto you therefore who believe he is precious. All precious nothing but precious. It is true that the world despises him and regards him as a rock of offense, but he is precious to God who knows him best, and he is previous to believers whose faith enables them to look upon persons and things as God does and conforming their sentiment to Gods. They reckon that if Christ is the father's beloved son in whom he is well pleased, he is their beloved saviour, in whom they are well pleased everything about Christ is excellent and glorious, therefore they love him, they love Him for his dignity and glory. They love Him for his infinite love and compassion; they love him for his perfect obedience to the laws for His lovefulness of character, for his wise and beautiful teachings, for the work of His redemining power, and for the gift of his grace. We love Him because He first loved us. They show that love to Christ by saying he in His cause, caring for the cause, playing for its sinners, giving our earthly means for the spread of the cause. Conservating to it every talent and doing everything to honor His cause, guarding it against every reproof, preaching the gospel by precept and example and boldly each hour allowing ourselves to be on the Lord's side. The true lover of Christ loves all who belongs to Christ, beloved let us love one another for love is of God and every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. Beloved if God so loved us we ought also to love one another. The text says that "They who sow in tears shall reap in joy, he that goeth forth and weepeth bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again, with rabbing, bringing his sheaves with him." In full explanation of this text the Revella to has said God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. It is said that the book of revelation is the most mysteries of all books, because it contains mysteries which the most acute and in tellful mind can marvel. For it refers to events of the most important. It tells us that mighty elements rush, mighty angels fly, mountains and hills tremble and sink into subjection to God and the seals are opened and vials of wrath are poured forth upon the earth, till at length the chain of divine omnipotence binds the old supper, the accuser of the blasting that he may deceive no more. It is said that revelation is the only of eternity. Not only do worldly events have the before us but the spirit of eternity itself. In it we see the dead tree, the judgment thorn is set, and books are opened and then comes the down of the treaded and the glow of the nighttime, the bravery and her righteous songs fill upon our ears like music and the holds of light and glaup from forth upon our patria like the sunlight of a moon day and the pure dead of the sunstruck, the eternal resurrection of the redeemed of earth spout out let it be, like the beauties of an unmended sky, let us with look into that paradise. Do you see any mountain broken hearts and fearful eyes there? Not. You too shall wipe away tears from their eyes. Tears are the visible and affecting experiences of those stinken with sorrow, and then to say God will wipe away all tears from their eyes is to say that every cause of sorrow now existing shall be ternally removed. Tears and grief are not all ways inseparable. Some deeply felt and grown in spirit yet spit but few tears while the eyes of others soon weep and are reddened by the suffusion of tears, and yet their grief is often superficial.

My brethren, sin is the cause of all tears for there was no weeping before sin came into the world and there can not be any tears where sin does not reign. Son has rubbed us of so much honor and bliss of peace and happiness and has so devastated our souls and bodies, separating us from God and depriving us of so much hope: degrading the moral and secular state of society and placing us in such a deplorable circumstance that it is no wonder the world is called and really found to be a valley of tears. My brethren, it is not always wrong to weep for tears sometimes are the indication of good as when the pendent weeps for his sins, when the Christian weeps for want of more purity of heart a stronger faith and a brighter hope. With these it is well to weep for they are called monsters in Zion and Jesus says 'Blessed are they that mourn for them small be comforted.' Then when friends saken and weep we and in this there is no wrong for Jesus wept. My deeds drive grief does not destroy natural sentiment, but it rather incurs and sometimes their teaching us not to sorrow as they without impatience are often caused by temple depression. The blesting man weeps on account of the sorrow of life and inability to store money by which to must the urgent demands of life. The attituded and aged weeps as they feel their strength and health failing them and the poor house with all its misery and privation looking them in the taos the rich in weeps as we is cast down from the pinnacle of compulsive independence by circumstances over which he has no control. The sits upon the tumes of his wasted estate and weeps like an ephiph child. All these to be to be dived up for there will be no poverty in heaven neither shall they want or hunger any more. A minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ goes forth weeping because of detective friendship. Some of these are very intimate and peculiar and thus must be effective. Sometimes it is the combined efforts of the outside world against you, sometimes it is members of your church, sometimes it is the offences in your suburb, sometimes it is your own family, your wife or your children, sometimes it is your false nectar, jealous, prejudiced, miserful brethren. Some people are your friends just as long as the sun of pigs parly shines upon your body. But as soon as discovery, difficulties, misfortunes, privations, and troubles come upon your friendship melts away like was before the flame. Every heart knows its own butteriness and sometimes this weeping is caused by infirmity, by the tempter, by ignorance of one's own surroundings. In all of our fields of operation there has been suffering, there has been sorrow, there have been tears, but welcome today under God through Christ rejoicing. Some of our tears have been caused by bereavement; the grim monster has entered our ranks, taken from our sides Reverend Lous Parks, L. U. Walkhall and James J. Ewing and the wife of Rev. B. L. Battes, and many loved ones of our parish. These are deposited in the grave and their graves are bedimmed with tears by their friends and loved ones. On the agony of heart that is felt and the bitter tears that are shed by the mouth of our dying friends. But when we remember that we weep not as those having no hope, for if we believe that Jesus Christ died and rose again even so shall those who sleep in him come when he shall appear in glory. No grief can change that dry to night. Who dwell in God's immediate light. Sorrow and sighing God has sent Burthorne to endless punishment. And never more may one dark tear Brum their burning eyes. for every one they shed while hope in fearful agonies. Glitters a bright and dizzying gem In then immortal dazzle They the swim teals shall snap in A few more letting rings in more chilly winds, a few more upside downs a few more aces and points a few more battles and brave tears and our wait will be over My ministering brother, we have been wrecked and torn but there is coming a day if we taint not that we shall wrap in joy. For there will be no more pain, no more wiping, and no more pain, for like our Lord and Master, we shall exchange our crown of thorns for a crown of glory. All tears and wiping shall pass from those whose faith remains strong and whose hope continues bright, and whose love fails not; for at the end of all this toiling in the Master's vineyard, often for ungrateful people, and many times when we have done the best we could for the people we have served, they complain that we have done nothing, when in fact that have worked against us all the year and given us scarcely anything to live upon, yet through tears and suffering with both our families and self, we worked on sowing in tears. But now we come repoding, bringing our sheaves with us there in this life there is a succession of tears, the clouds return after the rain, and the brightest sky may be blackened again. We may sign for a complete removal of tans that make us weak but the future will bring it back to again. But hear the good Master voice saying, "I will send into they that sow in tears, for they shall wrap in joy at the last day." Hence all the promise of complete deliverance refer to the termination of life, the resurrection of the dead and the second coming of Christ. "Ihbald I come quickly and my reward is with me to give unto every man according as his work has been; then indeed shall we hear him say, 'Necessities of God, well done; Rest from the bad employ; The battle fought, the Victory won, Enter thy Master's joy." "They that sow in years shall reap in joy." Amen. REV. J. R. RANSOM, P. E. Kansas City District. JARRELL BOLTS WEBR. And Tells What He Thinks, of David Overmayer. First district Democrats are having lots of trouble. First they nominated a Democrat for Congress against Congressman Chas. Curtis. The Democrat know 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. P. 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 squarily on the toes of Lord Overmer, who with the assistance of the Kansas City St. enclosed the deal for the nomination of Webb Overmer is tremendously angered at Jarrell because of the latters' open bolt and charges it up to Hille Waggener. Overmer says Jarrell is "only a tool of Hille Waggener" Jarrell comes back in a signed statement in which he intimates that a man who would make such a change 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 Balle 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 Denseuning One Democrat Candidate One Democratic Candidate. The Democratic committee has employed Mrs. Ella Burton of Topeka 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 Topeka. Mrs. Burton charges that McCray is a tool of the alleged book trust and that she told Governor Hoch so before McCray was appointed. Because the Governor did not believe her unsupported word Mrs. Burton says the Governor is also a tool of the book trust. When Mrs. Burton was trying to keep the Governor from appointing McCray she was making a particularly bitter fight against the appointment of Prof. A. B. Carney of Concordia. She made all sorts of charges against McCray and Carney and was particularly bitter toward Carney whom she also characterized as "a book trust employee." Governor Hoch appointed both McCray and Carney, Carney is now the Democratic nominee for state senator and list of schools so he has once appeared by the Democratic party as well as by governor Hoeh. Also, when will there be an institute or a national tent position when she goes out to fight Hoch and support Carney. RAF: HARRIS HARD. Populil Editor Sys the Colleen B tore the Part in 1837. Jon Wright of Smith Center, one of the best known Populists in the state and editor of one of the stunnest 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 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 Leedy 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 Colonel 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.

HARRIS DOES NOT KNOW CONFIRMS STATEMENT THAT HE IS OUT OF TOUCH WITH .KANGAS. HE IS A "MAIL ORDER" CANDIDATE A Few Things Regarding Republican Administration of the Attorney General's Office—The Record Made a Good One. A little more than a year ago while paying the state a visit, Col W A Harris, of Chicago, was asked if a newspaper representative in Congress an opinion regarding the politi nation in Kansas. He declined to do so, couching his declination in the following language: "I have been away from the state so long that I am out of touch with Kansas as air. I do not want to discuss. I must polities for publication for the reason that my lack of information on the subject precludes intelligent discussion on my part." At that time Col Hurds had not been brought to Kansas to run for governor as the "mall order" candidate of the democratic party. He has made no such statements since he began his campaign this year and they have really been unnecessary as he displays his lack of familiarity with Kansas affairs in nearly every speech he makes. In fact his lack of information regarding the politics of the state is at times so ridiculous that it provokes laughter in his audiences. For Instance, Col Harris declares that the office of attorney general has been poor; administered for a number of years, his idea being to show that the present Republican nominee will give the state a repetition of the administration of his predecessor Says he; "Goddard was attorney general and Coleman was his assistant; Coleman is attorney general and Jackson is his assistant; now Jackson wants to be promoted. It is the same old breed." Coleman was not Goddard's assistant and everyone who has been keeping track of Kansas affairs knows it but Col Harris of Chicago does not In his anxiety to spread poison against the Republican candidates he even forgets to give Coleman credit for the many things he has done during his administration as attorney general. Attorney General Coleman vindicated the eight hour law in the supreme court of the United States, and the anti trust law on two occasions in the same forum. The interests of the Arkansas Valley have been protected by every resource known to the law in the Kansas Colorado suit now approaching its conclusion. The Metropolitan Street Railway of Kansas City, the great express companies, the Kansas City packing houses, the pipe line companies, and other corporations which have done business for years without even pretending to ask the permission of the state and without any charter authority have been compelled to submit to the law of the land to pay in their charter fees and submit to state regulations just like a village bank or some small local corporation. This has materially augmented the revenues of the state and together with the economies practiced by the legislature and state institutions, has caused a reduction of the state taxes of this year from 57 to 41 mills. This is an official policy which brings results—results that you will see when you walk into the county treasurer's office this winter to pay your taxes. There are other suits still pending. The Fullman Company, and the Western Union Telegraph Co.—both corporations—have never had authority from the Kansas Charter Board to do business in this state. They have paid—no charter fees. The Attorney General believes that their great wealth and enormous capital place them on no different footing from that of a village corporation for making brick or digging coal. They are fighting hard, but it seems safe to predict that in time the State will win and these corporations, so far as they are doing a purely Kansas business, will be held amenable to the Kansas corporation laws. Colman is not a candidate this year in his party does not apologize for his administration. OTHER CANDIDATES SORE. Kick Because Harris Gets all Benefit of Campaign Fund. The campaign expenses of Colonel Harris are paid by the Democratic state committee. Most of the other candidates are men of moderate means, and they also would like to have a lift in a financial way. But the state committee has no money for anybody but Colonel Harris, and if the other candidates do any campaign work, they must do it at their own expense. As a result of this condition, Colonel Harris is the only candidate who is taking much interest in the campaign. Colonel Harris will no suffer any financial loss on account of the cost of the action. The states do not allow his to do so, and the Democratic state committee will not allow his to do so, and help his business in the long run. In this respect he has a great advantage over the other candidates on his ticket. Fred A. Jackson After International Company on Criminal Charges Company on Criminal Charges. Fred. S. Jackson, assistant attorney general, has followed up his proceedings of ouster against the International Harvester company and the Standard Oil company with criminal proceedings against the International company. The prosecutions are brought under the Kansas and trust law. Violations of this law subject the offending corporations to fines of from $100 to $1,000 on each count. Fifty separate offenses are charged against the international company in the information filed in the district court of Shawnee county. This means that the state will proft from $5,000 to $50,000 in Mr. Jackson is able to sustain his conition that the international has been violating the antitrust law. Mr. Jackson is not yet ready to say whether similar prosecution will be instituted against the Standard. At any rate he is not now in possession on such evidence as he would desire on which to base prosecutions. He is finding it not difficult to set aside against the standard for our reason that producers are better satisfied with conditions than they were some time ago. The antitrust information and minimum freight rate laws enacted by the republican legislature two years ago have helped the oil producers wonder fully. As a result of the favors the oil producers received from the republicans those best placed on political conditions in southwestern Kansas are prescribing that Governor Hoch and the republican state ticket will carry the third congressional district by G(000) KEEFER MIS-QUOTED. Populist Candidate Victim of Kansas City Star Mirapresentation. In view of the fact that the entire Demonstrate campaign in Kansas this year is being made under false pretenses it is not unnatural that the Kansas City Star, the Missouri news paper which has been made the official organ of the candidacy of an Illinois man for Governor of Kansas should resort to all sorts of misrepresentation and falschool in its efforts to make votes for its chosen candidate. Not satisfied with terming democrats who are supporting Harris, Republicans, lying about the size of Harris meetings and making unfair and malicious attacks on Governor Hooch, the Star, in its desperation has now stooped to misquoting even the Populist candidate for Governor Horace A. Keefer. Mr. Keefer was in Topeka a few days ago attending a meeting of the populist executive committee. The next day the Star printed what purported to be an interview with Keefer in which he was credited with a statement that Harris would carry the state. Mr. Keefer promptly denied having made any such statement. "I did not make such a statement," he said. "I do not think Harris will carry the state. Further than that no representative of the Kansas City Star talked to me in Topeka. I am thorized no such statement. The story printed in the Star was maliciously and wilfully false." A DEMOCRATIC BLUNDER. Mistake Made In Deposing "BILL" Sapp Now Realized. As the campaign draws to a close the democrats over the state are coming to the conclusion that their state committee made an error when it turned Col. "Bill" Sapp down for chairman and elected Col. "Bill" Ryan in his stand. Sapp was on the jump all the time. Ryan is sluggish Sapp knew everybody. Ryan doesn't Sapp's political manifestoes would parase. Ryan's won't. Everybody was satisfied with Sapp, except Dave Overmyer. Nobody is satisfied with Ryan, not even Overmyer, since Ryan an challenged Jackson to debate without having consulted Overmyer about it. Sapp tries to conceal his glee at the dissatisfaction with Ryan but is unable to do so. Sapp daily damns Ryan with faint praise. Democrats say that when the trouble is over Ryan's management of the campaign will stand out prominently as the most forceless in the party's history. COL. HARRIS IS WORRIED. Lack of Democratic Organization Proves Serious Stumbling Block One of the things that worries Colonel Harris is the lack of organization by the Democrats in the counties. The state committee is not able to grasp the situation, and Colonel Harris's efforts to rouse the local leaders are fruitless. In a few counties the Democrats have put up a strong man for sheriff, or treasurer, and are trying to capture enough Republican votes to elect him, but there is little interest for the Democratic state ticket. When Colonel Harris reports that a certain county is "dead," the state committee sends out a few hundred copies of Colonel Bill Ryan's speech, and that particular county is checked off as having been properly looked after. One of the Kansas City Star's correspondents, who is in close touch with Colonel Hirsch, said in a that "Harris' friend" so pull him thru, in spite of the state committee." Goy Hoch finds his prospects as good now as they were at this time two years ago, and everybody knows what happened two years ago
