THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. In Shawnee County, the Negro Democratic Stronghold, Col. W. A. Harris, of Chicago. Will Get About Fifteen Black Votes! Historical Bureau State House THE VOLUME VIII. LEAVENWORTH IS REPUBLICAN! Every Man on the Ticket Will Be Elected—Democrats Have Practically Given up the Fight. The Republicans of Leavenworth county were never so well organized as they are today. For the first time in years they will elect their county ticket by a large majority. The Democrats are in line with the Republicans this year and there is no dissatisfaction in the ranks of that party. From the reports from every precinct and member of the county committee, they have large gains over two years ago. Every class and every nationality in that county is lined up with the Republicans this year. The party was fortunate in nominating for sheriff Ex-chief of Police J. T. Taylor, who is an old veteran and who has lived in Kansas for the past forty years, twenty-seven of them in Leavenworth county. Captain Taylor is a man that the Republicans, Democrats, Populists and everyone can afford to support. He is a clean man, a gentleman of ability. He was with Gen. Sherman and served with him throughout the Rebellion. He is an Ohioan by birth, a lifelong Republican and a conservative business man. He has served as chief of police of Leavenworth county and is a gentleman that will make Leavenworth an ideal sheriff. This is about the last time the Republicans of that county will be able to do anything for the old soldier and they are moving heaven and earth to elect him. The vote at the Soldiers' Home is solid to a man, Democrats as well as Republicans. The outlook indicates that his majority will be all the way from five hundred to one thousand. In fact, the Republicans of Leavenworth county have named a ticket consisting of gentlemen whose lonesty and ability, integrity and Republicanism cannot be questioned. R. G. McFarland, candidate for clerk of District Court, is a young man born and reared in Leavenworth and who has endeared himself to the heart of the people of that county to such an extent that there is not a thing he asks for that is not granted. He is as shrewd and honest a politician as there is in the state of Kansas and it will not be long before he will be one of the advisors in the council of the Republican party in this state. II. V. Heilly is candidate for county treasurer. We have known him for years. He has no opposition, having been connected with the treasurer's office for several years, being associated with the present county treasurer, Mr. Cory, who is one of the leaders of that county, not only in politics but in business. He is an honest, upright man, and young Reilly, who has been his deputy for the past two terms, stands as one of the leaders among the young Republicans of Leavenworth county. There is Lee Bond, candidate for county attorney, who has absolutely no opposition. He is a gentleman, a jurist and a man of ability. He has saved thousands of dollars for the county during his first term and so well satisfied are the people with his administration that even the Democrats put up no opposition. Everyone will be surprised to know that the republicans for once are united solidly in Leavenworth county. Every child, woman and man is talking Republicanism there. The following is the ticket that has been nominated, and will be voted for and elected in the next election. Sheriff, J. T. Taylor. Farland. County Treasurer, H. V. Reilly. County Clerk, Probate Judge, Thos. L. Johnson. Register of Deeds, J. H. Jeffries. Supt. Pub. Inst. J. H. Kelsey. County Surveyor, H. C. Perkine. County Coroner, H. H. Johnson. Rep. 7th Dist. Chas. E. Snyder. Rep. 8th Dist., D. V. Umholtz. Judge City Court, D. W. Flynn. Clerk City Court, Al Erman. The Democratic Wayl CHICAGO. Oct. 18.—Announcement of a campaign to secure the repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, that which gives the Negro equality with the white man as a citizen, was made by Gov. James K. Vardman of Mississippi, who was in Chicago today, attending the railway surgeons' convention. Governor Vardman, who is seeking election to the United States Senate, declared that if he won a membership in the upper house of Congress he would make his fight on the floor of that body, believing that he had the support of the entire South. "I favor unqualifiedly and without reserve the abrogation of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution," said Governor Vardman. "The race question must be settled and that very soon. It cannot be disposed of, however, until the nation as a whole has been convinced that there is a distinction between the white race and the black. "The laws now specifically recognize the difference between the white men and the Indian, the Chinaman, the Esquimo or the Malay. There is just as wide a gap between the white man and the Negro." The above are some of the utterances of Vardman. Ex Senator Harris, who is candidate for Governor on the Democratic ticket, in a speech made a few days ago, said that he did not believe or see how Mr. Vardman could have said that, and was sure that the papers had misquoted him. If Mr. Harris is so ignorant of the sayings of Vardman and his acts towards the colored people in the last eight years is to believe he is misquoted in this instance, the Negroes had better get busy and see that the ballot is cast against such candidates for Governor in this state. For in case Harris was elected, he would never be able to believe that the Southern rebels ever made such statements or had ever done anything against the Negroes. This has been Harris's policy all along. So fit in Vardiman is concerned, no one is worried about him going to the United States Senate for what effect his appearance will have upon intelligent and progressive Northern people. The man who is reared in ignorance and vice and who lives in it, cannot be expected to enlighten wealthy, refined and cultured people in the halls of Congress. We hope that the time is not far distant when the colored people of Mississippi will teach old Vardman and his class a lesson. And the more the Negroes become adapted to the customs and policies of the American white man, the more independent they will become and will therefore be able to stand up with Vardman, Tillman, or anyone else who dares to trample on their rights. If Vardman knew what the intelligent whites think of him, he would shut up his fool mouth. He is considered nothing but a vicious, ignorant demagogue, who only makes his fight on the race question to place himself in office. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 26, 1906. NO MORE CLASS LEGISLATION! Negroes Can Rest Assured That no More Obnoxious Laws Will Be Placed Upon the Statutes---Leaders Have Declared Themselves. We believe we can confidently assure you from the talks we have had from Governor, Representatives Senators and other leaders of our party, that there will be no more class legislation in Kansas under the present administration. We appeal to every loyal colored Republican to stand by his party at the November election. The voting for Harris, a rebel colonel, for Governor of this state, does not better our condition. But it does aid and assist the Democrats of the South and the North to get closer together to carry out their hellish designs in stamping out and obliterating the rights of the Negroes of this country. The Democrats of this state have endorsed the Hon. Bill Sapp for United States Senator. He was chairman of the last Democratic State Central Committee, and in his opening address before the convention at the auditorium said, "Thank God! Here is a gathering of white men without a single Negro, and we hope it will continue to be so." With this statement from a leader of the Harris forces, we do not see any encouragement for the Negro in voting for such men as Sapp and Harris. The trouble with some of the colored voters at this time is that they have not talked to the leaders about what kind of legislation they want, but are simply going around yelling after a few misguided Negro tools and supposed Democrats, who never had a dollar's worth of property and never will have, and who could not run successfully for a week a peanut stand. We cannot point to a single successful Negro of intelligent business ability, or even of sound mind, that is copusing the cause of Democracy. We have yet to find in this country a successful and intelligent Negro to The voters of Brown county are being aroused to a sense of duty, and will give the Republican ticket a good majority. There is no opposition to the county ticket, the Democrats knowing it was useless. They have their eye on U. S. senator, and have nominated a man who is a southerner, a Bryanite, a Negro hater to oppose S. L. Ryan, the Republican candidate for the legislature from the 45th district in Brown county. Mr. Ryan pledges to oppose all black laws, and support a man for the senate who will be in harmony with the administration of President Roosevelt. We sincerely hope that all colored voters of Brown county will see to it Japs Demand a Square Deal! SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 16.—The Japanese consul, Mr. Uyeno, intimates that there is a possibility of international complications between the United States and Japan unless Japanese children are allowed to attend all the public schools latest espouse the cause of Democracy, we say, for the good he thought was really in it for his country or his race. But we do find a good many who do so for dollars and cents. Do not be deceived by these hypocrites and Negro footpads, who try to hold up any party for a dollar. The principles of the Republican party are all right and although mistakes have been made, as in everything sometime, we cannot afford to go to the Democratic party, which is all mistakes, never having done anything else but make them. The Negroes of this state and country know that The Plain-dealer is sincere in its advocacy of the rights of the people, which we will continue to do in a fearless manner. When it comes down to facts, we cannot turn from our little road into some dark alley or lane to be clubbed and butchered by a well known party who, we know, has been lying in wait for us for the past two centuries. We believe we are safe in saying that the promises made by such men as St. Leland, Rosco Stubbs, members of the State Central Committee and Legislature, count for something. We have had talks with several of the above named parties and they have shown us that there will be no such legislation as feared, and Gov. Hoch has assured us that no such mistake will be made again. He was forced by the very parties now fighting him and will not forget to land them a good whack in the next Legislature. Things are looking brighter for us every day and let those that are dissatisfied see them leaders and members of the Legislature and talk things over instead of howling to someone who can do nothing for them. Discuss the matter intelligently instead of making of yourselves a lot of crybabies. Nick Curtis. that their votes are cast for Hon. W. E Archer of the 41st district, and Hon. S. L. Ryan of the 42nd district. These gentlemen will enact laws for the whole people. Vote the straight Republican ticket and stamp out Harris, the rebel colonel of Virginia. A vote for C. F. Lucas, the Maryland Democrat, is an endorsement of Jeff Davis and Vardaman. Colonel Harris anuba voters in Brown county. He was introduced to a few railroad men the other day in Horton while reading a paper. The colonel merely arose, bowed and sat down and resumed his reading. The laborers will resent this on election day. Harris is a silk stocking statesman. of being relegated to the schools with Chinese, Indians and Negroes. The Japanese consul is to appear before the board of education and make a formal protest in this matter on behalf of the Japanese children of this city. He says that the soe tion of the school law in accordance with which the Oriental schools were established by the board of education, is unconstitutional and before it is enforced it should be tested by the highest courts of the state. If, in this eventuality, the law is upheld, it is said that Mr. Uyeno will appeal from its decision to the representative of Japan in Washington. The board of education recently determined that all Japanese children must attend Oriental schools, and the first of these was opened last Monday. The above shows that the Japanese will not stand for mistreatment by the American white man. Keep up the good work, brother Jap. You belong to the Negro race, and we are glad to see that you are of the class that will stand up for your rights. We expect many complications will arise from these outrages the government is trying to place upon the foreigners. If the Japs win out in this fight, it will assist the colored people in regaining their rights in this country. KANSAS CITY, KAN. Mrs. Al. Alexander, of Topeka, was in the city last week, the guest of Miss Annett B. Scott. Miss Luella Patterson and Mrs. Madge Clay and daughter visited in Leavenworth last week. Miss Anna Brett, who was the guest of Mrs. George Hubbard for the past few weeks, returned home Sunday. The Square Deal Republican Club gave a rousing meeting at Bonner Springs Oct. 24th. Forty members in curriages, accompanied by Congressman Charles Scott, left Republican headquarters at four o'clock in the afternoon. They were met in Bonner Springs by the brass band who accompanied them to the ball where the meeting was held. Mrs. Allice Booker and Mrs. Alon Garner are visiting their mother Mrs. Vance, of Topeka Mrs. S. T. Roberts and her son, Juries, returned from Springfield, Mo., last Monday. Henrietta Angeline Gayden, the five months old daughter of E. D. Gayden and wife, was rewarded for beauty at the Mercantile Exposition and Carnival Baby Show, Oct. 19, First Class. The carnival that began Oct 14 and ended Saturday evening, Oct 21, proved to be a success as a great attraction to the city. Many persons from Kansas City, Mo. and neighboring towns visited the carnival, and the streets were crowded day and night. Quite an accident occurred at the carnival Saturday afternoon about one o'clock. A fire which was cause by an explosion of a gasoline tank in one of the booths near Seventh and Minnesota avenue, burned all of the 150 booths of the Midway but twenty. Along Seventh street and also along Ann avenue many homes were burned, which caused heavy losses. At Seventh and Ann avenue the former A. M. E. church was burned and now it stands in ruins, only the walls are lost standing. This church has been used by the white Masonic order as a hall and it is reported that the Masons lost everything inside the hall, but it is believed that the insurance will cover all the loss. Miss Georgia Gant, a member of the A. M. E. church and daughter of Rev. Gant, died Wednesday and was buried from the A. M. E church Sunday afternoon. Rev. Ward officiated. Miss Helen White of Virginia is visiting Mr. and Mrs. D. W. White. Rev. H. B Parks of New York. Rev. Allen and wife and Bishop A. Grant were visitors at the A. M. E church Sunday morning, when Rev. Parks preached a very inspiring sermon. NUMBER 42 Fifteen Black Votes! WYANDOTTE FOR HOOH! Republican Ticket Will Receive Big Majority—Disgusted Democrats in Line for the Ticket. The Republicans of Wyandotte county are aroused and are making every effort to give the ticket a large majority and elect the entire county ticket. Things were never so bright for a Republican ticket in Wyandotte county as at present. Chairman Peterson and Secretary Radford are two of the best political organizers in the state. They are trustworthy and reliable and the Democrats as well as the Republicans repose much confidence in them. They have the proinents thoroughly organized and polled and will see that everybody votes. The Democrats are supporting the Republican ticket in a great measure in this county for the reason that their party is divided from the fact that Rose when mayor did not stand to the agreement made to some of the "fixers" that they should be allowed controll of the liquor and gambling traffic carried on in the county. Several thousand dollars was put up for Rose's campaign by one of these "fixers," but after the election, the Rose crowd could not deliver the goods, as there was another faction of the Democratic party who contended that they were entitled to controll the liquor and gambling traffic. The Negroes are lining up with the Republicans to bring about the desired state of affairs. We are informed that such men as "Jumbo" Clark and other Democratic supporters who hold positions under Rome's administration and have been kicked out, are disafflicted and are secretly working for Republican success. The following is the list of Republican candidates that will be elected in Wyandotte county it the coming election: Samuel M'Connell, Sheriff Henry Merle, Probate Judge Mavin J. Reitz, County Att'y J. W. Longfellow, County Treas Lou H. Chapman, Register of Deeds W. J. Right, jr., Clerk District Court. Frank L. Kenny, Clerk Common Pleas Court R. A. Kope, County Clerk Geo. T.

Declares 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. Dryan 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 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丹ial 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 alerted. 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 partisan basis. That is the thing Harris does not want and in order to accomplish his own purposes he is willing to failure Bryan's chances in two years. Fearing to openly acknowledge his haired 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 Monent And Canable. 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 trusts and big corporations. He has devoted his time to a study of the saliquities 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 atroreys 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 discuss any issue to keep away from state reforms. NO SIMILARITY. Comparison of W. A. Harris With Governor Folk Is Amusing. Governor Fulk is amusing. The Kansas City Star (Dem) tries to compare Colonel W. A. Harris with Governor Folk of Missouri and to make its readers believe that conditions in Kansas are as bad as they were in Missouri when 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 staunch admirer, the Star, can find only one qualification which ought to commend him to the people—that of his honesty. The time has come when honesty is not the only qualification needed by a man who would manage the affairs of a state. It would be a very difficult matter for the Star to convince Kansas people that Harris is any more honest than Governor Hoch and as for being well qualified in other ways, the argument is all on the Hoch side of the question. Colonel Harris served the state six years and left no reserve. SIRES AND SONS. James Bryce, M. P., can speak more or less perfectly in sixteen languages. Eliphant N.

For fifty years he has worked continuously at his trade and is still able to turn out a respectable "string." Dr. Jacques Bertillon, the famous chief of the statistical bureau of Paris, has written a volume entitled "Alcoholism and the Way to Fight It." Drink, he declares, is likely to prove the rule of the French race unless something is done to overcome the habit. Camille Pelletan, the French minister of marine, is noted as a typical Bohemian. He has spent a good part of his life in the Latin quarter, and even now, though compelled to live in the magnificent palace of marine, he frequently entertains his Bohemian friends. CURIOUS CULLINGS. This rather disheartening sign was displayed to the view of customers in a fish store in lower Sixth avenue, New York: "Blogs Wanted to Open Oysters Sixteen Years Old." The organ of one of the churches in Belfast having refused to work, investigation revealed the presence of a large eel in the exhaust pipe. It was of course dead, and there is no explanation as to how it got there. A Parisian who has been much annoyed by duns has connected his bell handle with a powerful electric battery and switches on the current at psychological moments. So far the police have declined to interfere. A large stock of quail settled down on Main street, Los Angeles, Cal., right in the business heart of the town. They were soon frightened away and sailed off toward the hills. The oldest inhabitant is trying to cudgel up a precedent for this unusual tbing. Aerial dinners are now the fashion in Paris. M.

If there is an express or implied notice to the purchaser that an agent has no authority to collect money, a payment will not bind the principal. (107 111.

The deadlock of the contending armies in Manchuria immediately after the battle of Slim River results the campaigns of the civil war. Kuropatkin fortified in the tracks where the battle left him, and so did his enemy. The Russian fortifications are known to be formidable, and doubtless those constructed by the Japanese are equally strong. Early in the civil war the spade was at a discount, but in 1904 both the northern and the southern armies fell to making rifle pits and breastworks as soon as a deadlock occurred in the fighting. The Confederate General Lee, in his retrograde movement from the Wilderness battlefield to James river, fortified the lines taken up successively at Spotylvania, North Anna river and Cold Harbor. Grant forged his way up to the Confederate outposts and also fortified his lines. In the end he gave up trying to burst through the enemy's strong barriers and moved forward by the flank. The same methods characterized the Confederate retrograde movement from Dalton to Atlanta. Ga. led by General Johnston. Johnston met every advance of his opponent, Sherman, with strong fortifications. Sherman fortified the ground taken as he pushed his army step by step against the enemy's reserve lines.

The approach of the Christmas season brings anything but pleasant anticipations to the railway mail clerks who handle the thousands of presents sent through the mails. Their labors are greatly increased by the imperfect manner in which a large percentage of the packages are put up, in many cases being so poorly tied that they come apart long before they reach their destination. Speaking of it the other day, a mail clerk said if people would take the trouble to put the article in a box it would save a great deal of unnecessary worry and labor at a time when the clerks are badly overworked, and the present would reach the person for whom it is intended in much better shape than it usually does. A shoe or a cornet box or a breakfast food carton makes a package of convenient size for handling in the malls. Glass, china or fragile articles of any description should be packed in wooden boxes. Packages should be securely tied and plainly marked with the address of the sender in the upper left hand corner. Postage should be fully prepaid, 1 cent an ounce for merchandise and 1 cent for two ounces on printed matter, including books, photographs, pictures, etc. Federation In Central America. Some of the politicians and party leaders of Central America are reported to be making determined efforts to secure a union of the five republics of that region in an offensive and defensive alliance against the whole world, with the particular purpose of resisting imagined encroachments upon their rights and territory by the United States. Aggression by this country is not at the present time so threatening as to demand the formation of such an alliance, but a union of the states between Mexico and the Isthmus would undoubtedly inure to the benefit both of those states themselves and of their larger neighbors. It would give a much greater assurance of permanent peace among them than now exists. The federation movement received a considerable impetus from the recent convention at Fort Corinto, at which Guatemala, Nicaragua, Salvador and Honduras were represented. Costa Rica sent no delegates to this meeting, but her eminent men express themselves as in hearty sympathy with the federationists. This country is not alone in having a serious immigration problem with which to contend. England has discovered that within a comparatively short time she has convolted over 135,000 allens of crimes at a cost to her taxpayers of over $600,000. Further more, the indict of allens is raising the rents to a figure which is beyond the resources of her own poor tollers. Many of the allens are paupers and become a burden upon the community where they settle. Brigadier General Story, chief of artillery of the United States army, makes the encouraging announcement that our new coast defenses render our large cities as nearly impregnable as Port Arthur. He insists, however, that more artillerymen are needed to keep the forts and their guns in their present state of efficiency. The dalat lama is reported to have arrived in Russian dominions, but he didn't take his late kingdom with him. Great Britain had a string on that.

Nobleman Hozumi, professor of law in the University of Tokyo, in a paper on the new Japanese code read at the recent international congress of arts and sciences at St. Louis gave an interesting exposition of the manner in which the Japanese have sought to conform their legal system to western ideas. The method employed has been conservative, recognizing for the time being some of the most firmly implanted of the old customs rather than inviting by an attempt to revolutionize everything a reaction which might defeat the purpose of the new code. About the year 700 a legal code, based upon Chinese moral philosophy, with the cult of ancestor worship and the feudal system, was drawn up and promulgated. This code, with some minor changes, continued in force until the beginning of the nineteenth century. A system of such antiquity naturally had to be reckoned with by the drafters of the new code, though their task was somewhat simplified by the fact that the old laws had never been published. They had been made for the edification of the judges and other officials. The decree promulgating the new preliminary code after the restoration of the emperor in 1635 followed this tradition in addressing itself to the officials of the empire. When the second code was proclaimed, however, in 1873, the emperor's subjects, as well as his officials, were commanded to obey it, and it was declared that "henceforth every law upon its promulgation shall be posted in conspicuous places for the information of the people," making it evident to the Japanese that their government was to be from that time one of laws and not of men. The legal condition of women was one of the most complicated problems which confronted the revisionists. Both Buddhism and feudalism had Japanese women kept in a state of dependency. The Chinese doctrine of the three obediences was strictly enforced under the old law—in childhood a female was subject to her father, in youth to her husband, after her husband's death to her sons. A woman had no legal rights which her husband or sons were bound to respect. In dealing with this question the drafters of the dew code made a clean sweep of tradition and established legal rights for women similar to those of the most advanced European nations. Unless otherwise stated in the marriage contract, the property of a woman at the time of her marriage now remains hers. She may also acquire property after marriage and hold it in her own name. There is no distinction between the legal rights of an unmarried woman and a male citizen. A woman now has the same rights as a man in the matter of divorce. In the maintenance of the "house," survival of the old clan system, the new code has been less radical. The unit of state in Japan is still the family rather than the individual, but the powers of the head of the house now are practically limited to certain rights connected with ancestor worship and control over the marriage of subordinate members. Any member of the house may own property and on his death leave it to his heirs, where formerly it reverted to the head of the clan. It is believed that in time the "house" will be disintegrated and will join the rest of the mediaeval customs of Japan in the limbo of the past. A French authority on European affairs, M. Yves Guyot, predicts in the North American Review that Russia will hereafter encounter hostility in attempting to float war loans. He says that the French investors are now awake to the fact that the Franco-Russian alliance is a one sided affair, so far as advantage goes, and that Russia has flooded that country with her bonds. Russia's weakness is so manifest, says M. Guyot, that the limit of faith in her future will soon be reached in France. Russia still has an immense gold reserve to fight on, and the end of the war is not likely to come soon because of her financial straits. Yet failure of credit in the house of friends is not a pleasant prospect for a nation situated as Russia is. Our neighbors on the north seem not at all given to the worship of imported greatness. Some time ago England sent over a titled major general to reorganize the Canadian militia, and the colonial premier plainly told his lordship that he was not wanted. In the late national election the Laurier administration, which smashed this pretentious individual and caused his recall, gained votes as a result of the incident.

Every year thousands of bushels of walnuts go to waste all over the country, and few farmers think of their value for poultry food. But 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, so they may heat and rot. A 10x15 space will hold a big wagon had safely. Who real cold weather sets in we hash in a bushelf with an 14 and feed them to the laying barn. The great amount of oil contained in the hernails will do more to help keep up animal heat than almost any other fundstuff we can produce, and we have never had disease in our flocks when we walnuts as part of the winter. gh prices during the past year look to see them set high ough the coming winter and do all within our power to make the lap.

Anti-Pain Pills are a most remarkable remedy, for the relief of periodic palngs Lackache, nervous or sick head= ache, or any of the distress- ing aches and pene that cause women so much suffering. As pain is weakening, and leaves the system in an ex- hausted condnion, it is wrong to suffer a moment longer than necessary, and Jatt should take the Anti-Pain Pills on first in- dication of an attack, If taken as directed you may have entire confideine in their efiectiveness, as wall as in the fact that they will lcave no dis- agrecable after-cffects. They contain no, morphine, opium, chloral, cocaine or other dangerous drugs. “Par along time T have sutsred greatly with encils of backache, that Frum ‘Alment mere than L can endures hese ntiarka coms on every menth, and lant tno or three divs” 2 have never Uren Able to Ket unsthing that Would give me much ttef until T bee Peyun the ure of De, Miles’ Aatl-Paln Pile, and they nimaze relieve me mo short time, My. fister, who suffers {he saino way, has Ured thems with the same reacts.” MRS.

A certain pastor of one of our prominent churches is rejoicing over the consideration which he has received at the hands of a large hearted church officialy. Special effort was put forth by the good people of the parish to have the pastor remain with them in spite of the small salary and other embarrassments, the pastor consented to remain in charge and push the work. The officers concluded that it would encourage the pastor and prove helpful to the work to increase his salary, therefore a caucus was held and the superior ability, merit and worth of the pastor were discussed and applauded to the skies. A decision was reached by a unanimous vote that the salary should be increased The caucus adjourned and in the general official body a brother arose, and in a sentorian voice said: "Mr Chairman, I rise to make a motion, if I can get a second. And before making the motion, I wish to make a few remarks. In view of the fact that we that we have succeeded in downing all opposition and defeating all other congregations that were seeking to take from us our beloved pastor, I move that we in crease the salary of so worthy a man forty [40] cents a week." "I second the motion," came from several voices simultaneously. "You have heard the motion, and and it is duly seconded: are you ready for the question?" said another stentorian voice. "Ready," "Question," came from all parts of the house. The motion is carried by a unanimous vote, the pastor's salary is increased. The board then joined in singing the long meter doxology, "Praise God from whom all blessings flow." Benediction by the pastor, who was so amused over the increased salary that he could soarcely refrain from bursting into laughter while pronouncing the benediction. WANTED—Young colored girl with best of references for house work. to work for white lady. Good wages, chance to attend college. MRS, G. HERNDON, 912 E. Ninth street, Fremont, Nebr A WARNING! Notice! Take warning. We now notify you to get ready, buy shot guns and rifles, and put them in your house, and prepare to protect yourselves and your families. The Texans and Arkansas trash are preparing to take charge of the new state and thereupon fails 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 tactily 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 e Texas and Arkansas rule. GRAND DEPUTIES WANTED Competent men and women wanted to be appointed as Supreme Grand Deputies, to have exclusive managemen t and control of the appointing of Grand Deputies, and affairs of the order, viz:—of organizing and spreading it throughout their respective territorial jurisdictions. Good com missions paid. Write today for full particulars, as we have no head offi cer over your state. Address: PROI. WM. PATTON, S. G. M. Lock 1146 Box St. Louls, Mo.. J. L. Johnson of Lola is certainly to be commended for the rapid progres e is making in that city. He now has a first class second hand store and is doing a fine business. The colored vote in Shawnee county is O. K. Not over ten and not to exceed fifteen colored people will vote the Democ atic ticket in Shawnee. Mr. J. H. Lyle, real estate dealer and tonsorial artist, left last week for Brooklyn, N. Y., to visit his daughters, Mrs. Lutie Cowan and Miss Corinne Lyle. Mr. Hardrick of Elkton, Ky., visited his nephew, Captain Knott, of the fire department, last week. He was en route home from a visit to relatives and friends in Frankfort, Kan. St. Simon's Episcopal church, Father Brown, priest—Sunday School, 9:45 a.m. 11 a.m., morning prayer and sermon, subject, "Lessons from the Falling Leaves." 4:30 p.m evening prayer and sermon, subject, "The Circumpect Walk." All are cordially welcome. The colored voters of Brown county should remember that we want Charlie Curtis to Congress and vote to uphold the Fifteenth amendment. A vote for a Democrat means to defeat our rights in the country. A Republican senator and a Republican congressman are needed now. We are sorry to hear of the death Dr. A. C. Briscoe, formerly of this city, who died at his home in Columbia, Mo. He left a wife, one child, parents and other relatives to mourn his loss. He was a member of Euclid Masonic Lodge, this city, and has many friends here who will extend sympathy the bereaved wife. G. W. Hamilton went to Wichita last week to assist Prof. Vernon in whooping it up for the Republican state ticket. It is reported that a delegation of colored voters went down to keep the Wichita colorod people away from the Vernon meeting, but it seems that they went to increase the crowd, as there were over 1500 present. SHILOH BAPTIST CHURCH. Shiloh Baptist church—S. S. at 9.45' preaching at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. by the pastor. 11. "The Coronation of Christ," 7:30. "Christ Crowded Out." Dr. Sutton E. Grigge, author of "The Hindered Hand." will speak at Shiloh Tuesday night. No ad m. soon. Hear h.m. Miss Phebe Davis, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Davis, of 1008 Washburn avenue, died Monday morning between McFarland and Topeka on the Rock Island, while on route home from Oklahoma where she had been teaching school. Miss Davis was 22 years old at the time of her death, an industrious, bright young lady, just budding into womanhood. She was a graduate of the Topeka High school, class of '04, and was of great assistance to her parents. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon from the Shiloh Baptist church and the remains were interred in Topeka cemetery. THE PLAINDEALER extends sympathy to the family in their hour of bereavement. AN EXPRESSION OF THANKS. Having been released from the A. T. and S. F. hospital on Oct. 25th, I'd sure to extend to the entire force my heartfelt thanks for the medical service and the extreme kindness rendered. I fully appreciate the proficiency of the medical and surgical staff—in fact, all the departments merit my hearty approval. The institution is an intuitable gift to all in the employ of the company. Long live the A. T. and S. F. hospital association. Twelve Negroes in Topaka and Spawnee county will probably vote for Harris. We have made a thorough investigation and will give one dollar a piece for all over twelve who are for Harris. BAPTIST CHURCH. The meetings of the C. E. society are increasing in interest and attracting more attention from those who do not belong, as well as from the members. A half hour's praise meeting was led by the president, I. W. Johnson on Thursday evening previous to the sermon. The protracted meetings will continue next week. There have been good congregations each evening this week and the revival spirit is in evidence. Rev. J. R. Richardson spent the Sabbath with his church in Kansas City, but returned Monday evening to continue his services with us. His sermons are full of spiritual instruction, and are listened to with great interest. Rev. W. W. Stewart of St. Joseph was in the pulpit Monday night. Superintendent G. E. Olden wants to get the names and addresses of all members who have children of Sunday School age, so that he and his co-workers may visit and get better acquainted with them. The circular letter sent out by me J. W. Anderson and J. White, purporting to be president and secretary of the State League and advising Negroes to vote for Colonel Harris or stay at home, is misleading in many respects. First, these two gentlemen have been Democrats for years. They both were janitors at the state house under the Leedy administration and have not voted the Republican ticket for years. Also, the booklet sent out by one J. M. Dorsey comes from the same source, for Dorsey has been a Democrat for years himself, and his book does not contain one word of truth as it relates to Fisher and Ransom, neither THE PLAINDEALER, for Fisher has never been to Washington, D. C., nor were he and Ransom ever mistreated or misused in any city or place. As to Pittsburgh, the Daily Headlight says "they never had a better meeting than Ransom and Fisher he there." A thousand people were out to hear them. As to Ransom's position on the school question, he has publicly declared himself against separate schools everywhere he has spoken, which the papers have published. LITERARY SOCIETIES TAKE NOTICE. The 16th Annual Session of the Interstate Literary Society will be held in St. Joseph, Me., during the Christmas holidays. We wish this to be the best meeting in the history of the organization. The oratorical content among Colleges and High Schools will be a special feature. Also, the content among musical composers and poetic writers. The basis of representation is as follows. Old societies will pay a fee of $101, new societies $150. Each are entitled to three delegates and a corresponding number of alternates. Please send list of delegates to the Cor Sec., designating the protogram representative, not later than November 24th. PUBLICATION OF SUMMONS N. J. Reaser, of parts unknown, will take notice that she has been sued in the District Court of Shawnee County, State of Kansas, by her husband, J. H.

Pope 1627 TWELFTH ST., N. W. WASHINGTON, D. C. AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION OF MISSOURI—PROPOSED. At a Republican convention held in Hartville, Wright county, Mo., May 26, 1906, the following resolution was offered for consideration: Resolved, That we favor an amendment to Section 3, Article II, Constitution of Missouri, to be read when so amended as follows: Section 3. Separate free public schools shall be established for the education of children of African descent. Provided, that in districts wherein there are less than fifteen colored children of school age it shall be lawful for them to attend school with white children of same. A few reasons are mentioned here in support of proposition. Missouri has many school districts wherein the number of colored children is less than fifteen. There are some counties containing less than fifteen. Parents have to send their children away from home, pay 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. Special attention given to Renting Care and Management of Property. Insurance placed in Best companies. Loans Negotiated. G. J. JONES, 429 KANSAS AVE. Ind. Phone 679 TOPEKA, KAN.

JARRELL BOLTS WEBR. And Tells What He Thinks of David Overmyer. 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 Dalle Waggoner. Overmyer says Jarrell is "only a tool of Dalle Waggoner." 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 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 Denouncing 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 tou Governor Hoch so before McCray was appolated. 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 sudperintendent of schools so he has been endorsed by the Democratic party as well as by Governor Hoch. Mrs. Burton will therefore be in rather an inconsistent position when she goes out to fight Hoch and support Carney. RAPS HARRIS HARD. Popullet Editor Bays the Colonel Be- traven His Party In 1897. Joe Wright of Smith Center, one of the best 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 perilidy 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 us 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. GOVERNOR HOCH CAUSES CONSTERNATION IN DEMOCRATIC CAMP. Repiles 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 Hoch. The first issue tried and discarded was the enforcement of the prohibitory law. The next issue was that of the famous "Katy" suit. The Star continued to worry this worn-out 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 anguish 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 enroute to school. The new "issue" pleased the Kansas City Star and with its usual lack of foretight it plunged headlong into the game without stopping to make an examination. Governor Hoch allowed the fares to proceed for two or three weeks and thus 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 honesty, 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. Game of the Proofs of Inincerity 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 inconsistency 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 hold 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 Democrats have had an anti pass plank in their state platform either. In 1902 the Democratic platform declared the railroad pass to be in "injudicious 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 spellbinders of the Democratic campaign. Despite the anti pass plank in his party platform Harris rode on railroad passes throughout the 1902 campaign. H. P. Farrelly, now the Democrat nominee for lieutenant governor and in 1902 chairman of the Democrat 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 Overmyer. 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 Democrats is a live issue which will not explode while they are in the act of handing it out to the people. AFRO-AMERICAT COUNCIL. On Tuesday morning the 9th inst as noble a set of men as ever breathed the breath of life wended their way to the St Mark's M. E Church, 53rd street in New York. At 10 30 o'clock, Bishop A. Walters, the president sounded his gavel announcing the purpose of the meeting. The great congregation arose and sang "My Country'ts of Thee" followed by scripture reading by Dr. H. T. Johnson and an earnest prayer by Bishop Clinton. At the conclusion of which the choir rendered an appropriate selection and president Walters announced the 9th annual session of the Afro-American council opened for business. The strong addresses of welcome by Revs. M. W. Gilbert. D. D, W. H. Brooks. D. D, Hon. Chas W. Anderson, Mr. J. C, Jackson and others were responded to by Hon. J. C. Dancey Bishon G. W. Clinton, Mr. Emmott J. Scott, Dr. J. R. Francis and others. Rev. L. G. Jordan, correspond ing secretary, made his report which was received with enthusiasm and by motion of Dr. McMullin was adopted after the most favorable comments by some of the best men and women attending the Council. At night, president Walters delivered his annual address, which was most powerful in delivery and clear in thought, showing him a leader worthy of great following. The speeches made during the sessions were very effective, void of bitterness and yet firm. The Cooper Union meeting was addressed by three leading white men who, in the strongest language possible, denounced the outrages against constitutional rights as conducted in our Southern states. It was at this meeting that attorney N. W. Parden told the story of outraged justice as shown by a mob in lynching a prisoner in Chatanonga after he had been granted a stay of execution by the Supreme Court of the United States. It was indeed an outrage that all law abiding Americans can not soon forge. ENACTMENTS BY THE COUNCIL. 1. The Council passed a law establishing permanent headquarters at Washington City where a permanent secretary is to have charge and by every reasonable means urge our friends in Congress to speak out and thereby destroy the influence of Arab enemies to good government and the American Negro. With determined will and keen toresight the Council has set its face to give battle to the Tillman's, Vardaman's, Dixon's and all who oppose our political and civil rights. 2. F. e selection of the One Cent Savings Bank of Nashville, Tenn. Rev R. H. Boyd, President and R. W. Hill, cashier, as repositories for the funds of the work of the Council. 3 In the future annual sessions shall be held during the month of June, the place to be selected by the Executive Committee 4 The Council unanimously voted that the Corresponding Secretary should proceed at once to publish a minute of the New York meeting, giving these enactments, the address to the country and extracts of the various addresses in pamphlet form to the public. It is hoped these will be ready sometime in December. As suggested in the corresponding secretary's report, they adopted the following: First, a permanent correspondent secretary on a salary, who shall give his entire time to this work. This, of course, will necessitate a change of our constitution. I here and now pledge twenty-five dollars per year for the next three years on the salary of such a man Second, we would call upon the leaders of our people everywhere assembled, whether in church or lodge room, to devote at least five minutes to a talk on public manners in public places to the end that many of the unintentional mistakes which are often considered insulting and which cause disturbances may be overcome, thereby teaching them whether on sidewalk or public road, "keep to the right" "don't block the pass way" and don't loaf on the street. Let us urge our people not to be loud mouthed and boisterous in public places. Third, a more persistent effort, to Western University, QUINDARO, KANSAS reach the unreached among us in cities, by street meetings and Gospel wagons, and local Pastor's Unions be inaugurated and encouraged and helped by our leaders. Fourth, a crusade against the licensed dives and saloons where the poor and too often, the vicious gather in large numbers for drinking and gambling. Fifth, the organization of a Press Bureau with branch bureaus in London, Paris and Berlin, that we may get our side of the race question be fore the civilized world, and that all good people may know of our persecution as a race. Sixth, the getting closer to the lovers of justice and liberty among our white friends North and South, conference with this class will aid our cause, and give them a knowledge of the better side of our racial life. Seventh, a determined effort to raise $1,000,000 Defense Fund. That one bank in Virginia, Alabama Tennessee, Mississippi, Kentucky and Texas be made repositories for that fund. Eighth, that our fight shall not be given up until every right guaranteed by the United States' constitution to the humblest citizen shall be won. Ninth, finding the voting strength of the Afro-American in congressional districts, organize them and make persistent fight for the election of the men to Congress who will do for us under the new system of slavery. what Sumner and his comrades did for us in the days of legalized slavery. We need nothing so much in these trying times as one outpoken friend in Congress, one faithful "John the Baptist." He lives. We must find him and our votes will elect him. UNSPLISHNESS One of the things that struck us with hope and admiration was the unselfishness exhibited by the postors and people of greater New York At the St. Mary's Church, Tuesday. a noble band of women were organized to serve dinner and lunch to the delegates and friends and every cent as the receipts were turned into the sunds for push.fid the work of the Council The same thing was done at Mt. Olivet Church on Wednesday and at Mother Zuon Church on Thursday No pastor or members of the churches exhibited a spirit of graft or selfishness. Each seemed to realize that the Negro has reached that point in his racial life when there must be a united effort to spend and be spent for the redemption of the whole race. The address to the country was a most excellent paper. For want or space we cannot produce it at this time, but we hope to put it in pamphlet form that all the people may have an opportunity to read it. In a small company of the Executive Committee, $1200 were pledged on a secretary's salary. Men like Editor Chases Dr. Francus, Rev. Dr. Lee and others from the Capitol of the nation pledged their moral and financial support to the establishing of creditable headquarters, where the Council may have influence with other reform agencies, where they may be in direct touch with men who have to do with legislation for the nation. Among the speakers at our closing meeting was Dr. Booker T. Washington. No braver words were ever uttered during the crisis of a people's life than the words of this good man. The Council made no ordealism of any man or set of men engaged in battling for the rights of the race. Among the more honored guests of the Council were leaders of the Constitutional League, the Suffrage League and the Niagara Movement. Each delegate seemed to realize that the time for fighting each other had passed and we were in the thickest of a great battle where any detraction from the real issues involved would be treason against the amendments to the constitution of our country and an unpardonable sin against a stricken people. The president announced that $1600 had been raised during the year. The great congregation stood to its feet and united in singing "God be with you till we meet again" and departed to their several homes better informed as to our rights and more determined to do battle against the traducers and slanderers of our race, than ever before.

TOM M'NEAL FORCES THE EX REBEL 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 How—Jarrell Raps Overmyer and Joe Wright Pays His Compliments to Col. Harris. --- 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's absolute 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 120,000 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 hard raps from T. A. McNeal, the Republican nominated for state printer. 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 go. 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 if 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 ROW. The fact that the Democrats made a mistake in turning W. F. Sapp down for re-election 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 done nothing toward building up in 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's 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 impress. It is most unfortunate that a protracted lease of power tends too illitate 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. ~<a,
