What would he say if he should return to Kansas and find Rebel Colonel Harris governor of the state for which he gave his life? What would Colonel Richie say? He who deeded the land where ‘Washburn now stands and was one of the followers of John Brown, aud who said that Washburn Col- lege should ever be open to all per: sont, white or colored? What would ex-governor Chas. Robinson say, he who deeded the land where now atanda the State Univereity, it being provided in that deed that the school should slways be open to all peresas of all races? ‘These men were loyal Republicans and never did they expect that Kansas would she comtroiled by Rebel Democrets, Negroes, remember the last act ef John Brown was to grasp a Ne- gro oluld from the arms of its moth- er, kiss it and say, “On this day I died that you might be free." And the men who put him to death for this sot were Col. Harris's friends snd eymyathizers, and it was Col. Harris kimeelf who made the first dsab at Bull Run to wash out what Joho Brown dicd for, He ssid at the auditorium in his speech, ‘Yes, I was im the Confederate army and fought for what I thought was right, aad I bave no regret that I did eo." And to this day he has never apologized for doing eo. He yet thinks he was right. It was Virginia where he hailed from, and a Virginia school that be attended; it waa Virgiols that put Jno, Brown te death, and Virginia that Colonel Harris assisted ia trying to porpet- wate slavery snd divide the Union; and it was Virginia that Col, Harrie assieted in exouting John Brown, Now, can any Negro man vote for anex rebel who ansisted in the ex: ecution of Brown and thirteen loyal Negroes who died at Harpers Ferry? The Republican party has done some wrong things, some things that should not have been done against the Negroe, and not one good thing can be pointed to that the Democrats ever did in the Negro’s favor, After Ex iebel Harris assisted in execut- iug John Brown and went to the rebel army and fought to protect slavery, we do not ees bow any sane, intellgeut, or even half-witted colored man can vote for euch mau, ‘The Republican party iu Kanesa haa decreed that there shalt be no more black laws and we shall havo totrust them, and sfter trying them this time, if they will not do right, then, organize a genuine He publican party of our own and let the whites alone, Under no cone alasration can we goto the Iemo- cra.

Burch, Regent fora long tern of years in the past and intimately connected with all the history aud growth of the school, These gentlemen inspected the campus, buildings and Departments and partook of a seven course din ner, prepared and served by one divieion of the cooking class, ander the direction of Miss Ida Burrell, Inetructress in Domestic Scienc.. The many expressions of satiafac tion with the management and the progress of the institution, were very gratifying to President Allen, who has labored hard snd unocas- ingly to build up Lincoln Institute as a great institution of learning that, irrespective of race or color, shall be second to none of its kind or olasa. The Lincoln Tigers, under the management of their skillful coach, Professor West, left for Nashville amid the enthusiastio cheers of the faculty and students; and dispatches from the scene of action declare victory for ihe Tigers! Hurrah for Lincoln Tigera ! “Groves, the Potato Kiag,” will deliver the principal address before the Farmers’ Couventiou, Nov. 9. Mr. Groves always interosts his audiences and President Allen hopes that many will be present on thie oceasion snd help demonstrate by their presence, and by the farm products they ray exhibit, that as a people we are alive to the value of agricultural pursuits.

It is not gener- ally understood but such is the case that certain sections for both the matinee and night per- formances are reserved fot white persons, This has proven satisfactory to both races."' In conversation with Mr. Cain a young dude who parts his hair inthe middle and one of the managers of Crawford's theater whosaid that after Williams and Walker’ and Cole and John son had showa no Negroes would be admittedin the parquet. That they would be permitted to sit in certain portions of the balco ny and the gallery. He was ask- ed if the whites would not sit in the balcony also, and why such objection should be raised in the parquet. His reply was that the white people conceded that Ne- groes could sit upstairs and in the gallery, where they belong- ed, And we had a conversation with Mr. Crawford and his son, Roy, in frontofthe Grand, He said it was true that the house had been divided and at Wil- liams and Walker's show Ne- groes could have certain ro in the parquet, and also at Cole and Johnson's which was the. extreme right and left, and only certain portions of that. The best of the center and in fact, all the best seats in the house were reserved for the whites. We were shown by Mr. Crawford the places where the Negroes could sit. We asked him why this dis- crimination at this late day, whether he thought the Negroes any worse than they had been allthese years, He said ‘No, but there are white people kick- ing and wz have to protect our business. Notwithstanding the fact that this was published in the papers several days before Williams and Walker showed, and the Ne-. groes generally understood that their money was not wanted at the Grand, still they flocked in great numbers to the theatre Sunday night to attend the Jim- crow show, and we can say that Jim-crow Negroes are always willing to allow a white man to Jim crow them, To our surprise we saw local preachers, school teachers, lawyers, crap shooters and every variety of Negro at- tending the Jim crow theatre on Sunday night. As long as Ne- ,toes who want people to re- spect them and their families will beg a white muntotake his money ond then Jim-crow him. | so long will the white man con-' tinue todo so | tt isan everlasting shame and disgrace to the colored ruce to continie to tryte make Varda- ny3n aog Tillman's words true. Old Vardamaa said that the Bor gro will accept anything and will do any thing to try to be with a | white man. And it seems the more intelligence and education some Negroes have the more detrimental they are to them- selves and the country in which they live, Independence, _ self will-power, ambition and cour- age are what make men. We saw men who hold public posi- tions standing in tine with a lot of hoodlums who were yelling and howling for places in line to get tickets in the gallery. In this crowd they had to call a force of twenty policemen and deputy sheriffs to subside them. The gang was composed of young white and Negro kids, who usu ally go in the gallery to all the big shows. The police had to grab them and hustle them a- round to get them straightened out, Our advice to the Negro is to stav away from this white man's theatres, hotels and restaurants, étc., for he does not want you, do net force yourself upon him. Content yourself with vicing for public places, for which you pay taxes and therefore have a right to protest: All public iastitutions'| that are supported by the tax- payers, the Negroes have a right to protest for and that vigorous- ly, but where these prejudiced whites have their theatres, res- taurants and saloons and dont want your money for God's sake stayaway. Do not force people to take your money, who do not want it. Your forefathers lived ia this countryfor two centuries with- out secinga theatre or even a concert and now alter forty years of freedom this generation is trying to vie with the white man in going to operas and pay- ing from 75 cts. to 2.50 for seats They cannot afford it. Fifty years from now is time enough for Negroes to go to opera hous- es. In that time he can own stock in opera houses and have some say as to their manage- ment. Aslong as Mr. Crawford will sit up a little place at his opera houses and call it ‘Little Afrisa,’* and there seat all Ne- groes to be pointed at and point- ed out by prejudiced whites as the ‘nigger section,'’ and as long as you patronize him, so long will they look upon you as inferior to the whites. But if you stand up boldly and manifest manhood and womanhood and keep your moncy in your pocket, he will soon learn to respect you and your family, Let the Negroes attend their churches and social functions and litt! shows among them- selves. If these same Negroes were called upon to buy stock fo erect a building an opera house and rent it toa white man you could not get tilty of them Lu putin ten cents apigce, Yet, they want to be looked upon as Leing great and!-iniluential and atthe game time are nothing: more than a iot of struggling tramps. They own no business in the town that amount to any- thing. They go toa white man to buy their shoes and clothing and run over each other to get there. Instead of trying to es- tablish business houses of their own and making places for their own children, they ate forever quarreling with the white men for his own. We hope Craw- ford will kick them out and keep them out untilthey learn scme sense, The idea of a Negro pay- ing and begging awhite man to Jim-crow him. Se faras we are concerned, when we attend theatres, we would just as soon sit in the gal- lery but we always had the pleasure of knowing our families could sit anywhere they had mo- ney to pay fo’, and thercfore no objection to attending theatre at acost of 25 cts.,as we are not able to pay the enormous price of 75 cts. to $2.00, but if he does nct want our money in any part of the house we choose he will not be bothered with the writer nor will any other white man who does not want our mo- ney. Aslongas the Negroes allow themselves to be Jim-crowed, they will be called Jim-crow Ne- groes and be subject to insults and insinuations of the white man. | NEGROES FALSELY ACCUSED OF CRIME! One of the leading men of the South has written an article con- cerning the Atlanta race riots. In which he states It was due to the su- mulative provocation of a seiles of assaults by Negroes upon white wo men which ia number ia atrocity, and unspeakable audacity are he says without a parallel in the history ofcrime among Southera Negroes. In reply to this we have this to ay to Mr, John Temple Graves and his ilk. If true we would waantmous ly agree with his article, but having learned the facts, we are forced to dissent, There are some matters con- cerning our past history and our country's, our present condition and the probabilities of the fulure, that it will not be amiss to consider in orderto lay open somewhst more largely the thoughts of the editor. Once upon a time the natives of Af rica dwelled ia contentment and bappinoss seffar as their intellect allowed them to comprehend. Like- wise was this couatry owned and oc- cupled by a tavage race of mon called Indiana, prior to the year 1492, but gradually they have been driven from every valley and moun- taincrest until thelr race has been nearly annihilated, They fought a- garaost Custer and other famous war- riors for what they thought was right and they and thelr posterity were doomed to degtcdation by trickery, Tis mot far distant when the Indian as race will be knowa only by re- verting to history, The Negro whos. ancestors were kidaapped on the coast of Africa and sild inte slavery along the Atlantic and Gulf coast were for 200 years, yea, and more subjected to unrequitted toil, The offspring of those Ethiopians now number approximetely 10 millions of civilized souls The rod man sod the black man have had a hard time inthis great republic, but the red man who was the moat feared has ‘been silenced, or left in astete that ho one regards him seriously, And it remaineto get the black min out of the way, ths however, te not the ap ritof the well reed ard enuerva- tye hecuuse, Ba hs, compose the cares and pasions, Jaya, asleep the di appointments of one's sell, antl CONTINUED ON Pace 4, JAPS DEMAKD JUSTIOG!

Washington, Oot, 27,—The report “ enti Acerioen comcnetralions, ia apan owing to the barring o! * pata children from the pablic schools of San Francisco caused a special meeting of the cabinet bere yesterday. At the close of the meet- ing a cabinet member eaid the situa- tion was very grave and the cabinet was much puzzled at the best course to take, Viscount Aoki, Japanese ambassador, is pressing bis clalms vigorously, The general impression Washington is that very delicate handling is necessary to prevent aa open rupture. The President made ‘one move in the direction to pacify. ing Japan fast ight, He directed Victor H Metcalf, Secretary of the department of Commerce and Libor last night to proceed at once to San Francisco and make a thorough and complete inquiry futo the situation aflecting the exclusion of Japanese children trom the schools provided for white children and the determi- nation to place Japanese papils in separate schools ROOSEVELT WANTS THE FACTS, The Gesident is anxious to ubtain at first hand from a cabinet officer who is acquainted with locel condi- tions in Ban Francisco full informa: tion affecting every phase of the aub- ject to the end that whatever action is taken by this government may be after an accurate undesstanding of the situation, The President feels thnt every effort withta the power of the ad- ministration should be exerted to see that all the treaty rigtts claimed by the Japanese for its people resid- ing in the United States should be respected and protecte 1. ‘the determination torend Secre- tary Metcalf toSan Francisco was one of the results of the reqoost made by Viscount Aok:. the Japanese am- bassador, who, at a conference with Secretary Root yesterday, asked in behalf of his government that the Japanese subjects in California be accorded their ful. rights under the realy of 1894 including that of the children to attend the public schools of San Francisco We are glad to know that there je one nation on the earth that is calling Unole Sam's band. The white peopleof this country have been mistreating the Negroes for ceato- ries and at the same time tryiag to fool the people ja foreign couateies into beljeving that the American government ig one of the most free under tho sun, Yet, there are more outrages perpetrated in the Ualted Btates upon colored people} than tn any other country, The Japanese will not stand these outrages under their treaty and this will bring abyut a revolution in state gouernments. The states should not have the right to enact lawe that will be partial to eny special class of its citizens, It is coming to be acom: mon puisance for states to enact laws against Negroes, and ut the same time the president and congress can- not interfere, Yet they call thie the home ot the brave and the free. All laws In the several statis should be uniform wheo it comes to treatment of its citlzens in the exercise of their rights, There should be no special claes legislation or codes of Jawe for apy particular recesin any state.

BOLEY Indian Territory A progressive town. All 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 action 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 theritory, offers excedtional oppore as to lation and general resources to Negro farmers, orchardists, stock raisers and investors. () The adaptability of the soil to growing all kinds of grain, fruits and track would make a mill and elevator, also a canning factory paying investments.

Next Sunday Prot. H. O. Cook, of Lincoln High School, will lecture along Sociological lines. The University Uplift, the school monthly, will appear in the October number. Prof. Harry Graham intends to make the mechanical finish the best that his student printers have ever turned out. Tillman in Kansas. Senator Benjamin T. Elligan made two speeches in Kansas last week, one at Ellaworth and the other at Baldwin. In both of them he discussed the negro question from a Democratic standpoint he declared that the negroes of South Carolina, his home, had been effectually distranchened for the present through an educational test, but that as soon as they became qualified under that provision that the whites would devise some other scheme to prevent them from voting. The negroes of the South, he says, will never again be permitted to vote and he expressed the hope that the Northern people will join with the South in barring negroes everywhere. There is what he said at Baldwin "Down on my place I have a migrant man who has been with me 45 years. I love him and he loves me. My children love him and we would shire our last trust with him. I do not hate him but he knows and I know that he is by no possible law or amendment or anything else to vote. I want to impress you with the idea that I do not hate them, but they are inferior as we have proven by experience, and I tell you that knowing this condition we disfranchise every migrant in 95. It took a long time. Our purpose was to disfranchise every migrant we could and we did it. Our constitution provision is like that: No man shall vote in south Carolina unless he can read and write, or pay taxes on $300 worth of property, and the man who has property but cannot read or write has a vote and it applies to both races alike. That is as far as we can go. We wish we could have said no man can vote unless he is a white man, but the fifteenth amendment would not allow this. The instrument by which we disfranchised 100,000 of them was because they could not read and write. Soon they will be able to read and write and ready to vote. I say soon, perhaps ten, twenty or thirty years. If they are able to vote then they will be the majority. Then what happens. You will ak me, while you have disfranchised them now, when they have met the conditions necessary to register, do you intend to let them? I will tell you if I know anything of the people of South Carolina that the time will never come again when negroes will govern that state and it does not matter how soon they get the qualifications to vote, we will not let them do it if thereby they control the government, and we do not intend to. Do you hear me? You can see we are fighting against the law with the burden on the white man's shoulder grow heavier every day by the negroes who can register and vote. We regret we can do nothing more, but he time is coming when the people going to the polls will take the action of our fathers. We are just as sure of the result of the method which we followed then. Your children go to school with the negro children. The Democrat, Republican, white man, negro; the reason you cannot sympathize with us is because you take with you this person of negroes which we will not permit, which will not happen in the next 10,000 years if the negroes are not all but hired before. Will education make a negro a white man. If you can demonstrate it, will my case game. If you like the negroes you have to should like to send a couple hundred more from Carolina and give you a little more opportunity for love of this character. You need men to work in Kansas. Take that into your own houses and the home will not be at ease as it was before. Our women are intended to be let at home and every husband brother and other see that she is not let alone." Mr Harris is a Southern Democrat the same as Mr Tillman. His final H allows the same as Mr Tillman he taught in the comedy to start an oblivious the same as Mr Tillman. It has no more use for a major today than his Mr. Tillman. Knutsen colored stars should remember Mr Tillman's speech and Mr Harris' additions with the Tillman idea on the major question when they go to cast them vote at last day. HEARD TILLMAN SPEAK. TO THE PLAYDEALERS Please allow me space for these few lines. I was called to the Indian Territory on business. I had the ptiture of listening to Senator Tillman's speech on the race problem. To the readers of this noble paper I will say that he hates the Negro worse than the devil hates Christ. He said that in South Carolina he had spent $500 for arms when he had given to young white men to kill Negroes. He said the colored ladies were lower than the wild beasts of the forest. He advised the whites in the new state to vote for no man who endorsed the rights of the Negro as an American citizen. Ae said that N grocx should have Jim Crow cars and waiting rooms and that if he was in the new state he would show the black man where he belongs. And now I will say in answer to him that he would last about as long there as a snowball would in hell. A man of his type should have been in hell some months before he was born. But I, at an American citizen, have one thing to be proud of, and that is that poor old Ben Tillman cannot get away from the Negroes, for when he boards that train for hell, he will find them there.

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 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 an route to school. The new "issue" pleased the Kansas City Star and with its usual lack of forenight it plunged 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 homesty, 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 calls. Meanwhile a search has begun for a new issue. RECORD OF DEMOCRAT Some of the Proofs of Infinishery 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 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 Democrats have had an anti pass plank in their state platform either. In 1902 the Democratic platform declared the railroad pass to be in "invious 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 Democratie sominee for lieutenant governor and in 1903 chairman of the Democratie 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 Democratie candidate for state office rode on passes throughout that campaign. The passes were procured through Farrelly and the Democratie committee. The anti-pass plank in the Democratie platform in 1902 was written by David Overmyer. The same man wrote the anti-pass plank this year. The plank meant nothing in 1903. Does it mean anything this year with the same set of folks who treated it as a joke in 1903 in control of the Democratie machinery? The burning need of the Kannan leopards is a five leap which will not explode while they are in the act of handling it out of the people. 8IRE8 AND SON8. James Bryce, M.

CURIOUS CULLINGS. This rather disheartening sign was displayed to the view of customers in a fish store in lower Sixth avenue, New York; "Boy 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 veil 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 dums 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 thing. 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 III. App., 82.) Where a contract recites the payment of $1 as its consideration, it is valid, although the sum was not actually paid, as it creates an obligation which can be enforced by the other party. (44 E. E. Rep., 685.) When a debtor offers a creditor a certain sum in satisfaction of all demands and the creditor gives a written acceptance of the same, there are accord and satisfaction, though the creditor states in accepting it that he cannot accept it in full settlement. (38 So. Rep., 162.) THE ROYAL BOX. There is only one woman admiral in the world. The queen of Greece is an admiral in the Russian navy.

Dealree To Prevent Bryan From Speaking In Kansas. THE DEMOCRATIC PROTESTS ONE OF THE LEADERS GIVES TRUE RXPLANATION. Of Real Attitude of the Chicago Candidate for Governor. "W. J. Bryan will not make speeches 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, deated the truth of the published statement that he wants no outliders 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 Kanaus people would like to hear Bryan this fall and that the Nebraskan 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 air the voters up so we would have no trouble in carrying the state in 1908 "Harris does not want Bryan elected. Besides he does not want to stir the Republicans up on national issues this year. The presence of Bryan would draw the lines in the present campaign on a partisan basis. That is the thing Harris does not want and in order to accomplish his own purposes he is willing to injure Bryan's chances in two years. Fearing to openly acknowledge his hatred for Bryan, Harris does a matter thing and stabs the Nebraskan in the back under the cloak of friendship. It is the old story of Hairis—he is for Harris all the time and never for anyone else. I am first a friend of Bryan and do not like to see him get the worst of it from men who should be his friends. While I am supporting Harris you can say that most of the enthusiasm has been taken out of me by Harris' attitude toward Bryan and that there are hundreds more who feel just as I do about it." JACKSON, ALL RIGHT. Next Attorney General is Honest And Capable. F. 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 balquities of the trust problem and probably is as well informed on the subject as any lawyer in the state and as much better condition to handle such problems than any candidate against him. Mr. Jackson is one of the brightest of the young attroneys 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 Gameroe Folk in Amusing. Governor Folk 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 command him to the people—that of his honesty. The time has come when honesty is not the only qualification needed by a man who would manage the affairs of a state. It would be a very difficult matter for the Star to convince Kansas people that Harris is any more honest than Governor Heath and as far being as well qualified in other ways, the argument is all on the Heath side of the question. Colonel Folk survived the state six years had but no record of his death behind him. LOCAL NEWS. WANTED—Goodbarber. Apply to George E Gray, 834 Kansas avenue.

The invitations, written in rhyme, and decorated with a witch's hat, brought forth a number of witches and wizards, who danced around the steaming cauldron and learned their future from the queen of the witches. Tiny gourds, on which the proverbial black cats were hand-painted, were the unique and suggestive souvenirs. The guests were the ladies who at various times have entertained the club, their husbands, the gentlemen friends of the girls and Mrs. Forte and Mrs. S. A. Campbell of Springfield, Mo. WESTERN TUSKEGEE. Prof. M. W. Freeman and Miss Bertha Morgan were married Saturday evening at the residence of the bride, 2012 Kansas avenue.

Will Be Elected by a Big Majority-The People Want Him. John M. Wilkerson, the Republi can candidate for sheriff, is one of the best known men in this county as a criminal catcher. He served Shawnee county four years as commissioner and four years as sheriff He is the only man in the history of the county to be renominated by his party after serving four years and retiring. This shows that he is a capable and efficient officer as well as an honorable citizen. He served his country in the late rebellion, fought on the battle fields for the flag, the perpetuation of the Union and the abolishment of slavery. He is one of the best campaigners in the state, and has seen nearly every voter in the county. He will have a large majority at the November election. He has the endorsement of the business men, the laboring men, the professional men, in fact, every man in the county. VOTE FOR HAYNES County Commissioner S. H Haynes on the North Side, who will be reelected on November 6th, is one of the best commissioners Shawnee ever had. He has saved thousands of dollars for the taxpayers in Shawnee county. He is chairman of the board of county commissioners and has the business of the county at heart and sees to it as though it was his own. In fact, he neglects his own business for the sake of the county. The North side should feel elated over having such a safe and sound man to conduct the affairs of the county. PUBLICATION OF BUMMON8.

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 1 Separate free public schools shall be established for the education of children of African descent. Provisod, 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 name. A new reason are mentioned here in support of proposition Missouri has many school districts where the number of school children is less than fifteen. There are some counties containing less than fifteen. Parents have to send their children away from home, paid and then portion for their education. Relief from needless burdens is her by sight. Missouri's water states on the east north and west have moved schools she could be inclined to make the foregoing provision for her isolated children of African descent. 3 ’ ‘ oS SESS ree TRETT® | TRS TG” SPT OE I |r a SE y : ' a ns Topeka Plamndealer NEGROES FALSELY identify bim.though the guilty man) seyocnars ON PENSIONS, | SPOCCOO>OCOSCRC~SORO;CO;C SEO ;CCCeNCEECONCEECCEOOAEE eS — ——_—__—- ACCUSED OF CRIMB|!t silently at her bedside, the off | mom ts One Fred M, Blonestreet.

Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills are a most remarkable remedy for the relief of periodic pains, backache, nervous or sick headache, or any of the distressing aches and pains that cause women so much suffering. As pain is weakening, and leaves the system in an exhausted condition, it is wrong to suffer a moment longer than necessary, and you should take the Anti-Pain Pills on first indication of an attack. If taken as directed you may have entire confidence in their effectiveness, as well as in the fact that they will leave no disagreeable after-effects. They contain no morphine, opium, chloral, cocaine or other dangerous drugs. "For a long time I have suffered greatly with apnea of backache, that seem almost more than I can chew, and am always away Tense, and last two or three days. I have never been able to get anything that would give me much relief until I began the use of Dr. Milton' Anti-Pain Pills, and they always relieve me in a short time.

Vernon, register of the U. S. treasury, spoke here last night, Oct. 29th, to a large and appreciative audience of both races. Although much fatigued from constant speaking, he held his audience spellbound while he expounded to them forebly, masterly and logically the issues of the day. After speaking, a banquet was tendered him at the hall of the S. and D. of Jerusalem at which were 175 persons present and partock of the bountiful repast. Before retiring he thanked the kind citizens for the cordial reception they had given him, and gave some advice to our people which if heeded by them would, as he said, solve the race problem. WEIR CITY. Dock Griswell and wife entertained the good people of Weir on the 22nd with a surprise party given in honor of their mother and sister. The rally at St. John Baptist church was a success financially, club No. 1 Essex Hugh, captain, raised $15.11., club No. 2 Ollie McIver, captain, raised $18 which entitled her to the gold bracelet which was the prize for the one raising the highest amount. Rev. J. R. Richardson who was to have preached for the rally, by some misunderstanding did not come. Rev. J. T. Crawford preached at 11:00 a.m. and Rev. W. Britt at 3 p.m. Rev. Pope of Washington, D. C. gave an entertainment in the way of a Bible scenery. Rev. J. R. Ransom was in the city on the 25th and preached at the A. M. E. church. Prof. W. T. Vernon delivered one of his famous speeches in answer to Ben Tullman in Water on the 1st of Nov. quite a lot of the daughters went to Columbus on the 29th to an entertainment given by the daughters. Mrs. W. F. King returned home on the 30th after having enjoyed a week of pleasure with her husband. She was given a surprise by the people the night before she left. We were proud to meet Mrs. King at the residence of M. Lee and wife where she boards and found her quite a church worker, with such women as she, men are bound to be men. DON'T BE MISGUIDED. A circular purporting to be in interest of the colored voters was received by several of our colored citizens. It originated in some cosmos of Toneka. It sights us to the many weak points of the Republican party, its failure to measure up to the standard that the colored people hoped it would. We are free to acknowledge that this grand old party has sanctioned many laws that are against our interest for good as well as our future welfare. But we should not forget the fact that every law enacted for our interest has come through the Republican legislature. All of the honor that has come to the Negro in the political field has come to him through the sentiment fostered in the Republican party. Whatever recognition or station of honor may have been awarded the the Negro by Democrats did not come through disposition of their party but by the force of sentiment of their Republican brethren. Colonel Harris a member of the rebel army and now candidate for the office of governor of Kansas did all he could to promote slavery and once sacrificed his franchise and was only reinstated by the noble and generous disposition of the Republican party. He and his party are only a branch of the Southern democracy, opposing every step of the Negro in his struggle for manhood, honor and integrity. Their motto, "The Negro has no right the white man is bound to respect," and put in the face of all this, the mounting wife man of the West ask the colored states of this state to forge the mother in liberty, their father's household of peace, and prosperity to join the ranks of traitors and, like the prodigal son feed on the husks of swine, by casting their votes for the party that supports no good will for Negroes, fosters no disposition but hatred and malice. Can a soldier forsake the lines of battle on account of a defeat here and there? He must stand true to his colors. Can the colored voters of the state afford to heed to such unwise advice. Traitors have too long insulted our ranks We cannot at this time afford to sacrifice our principles of integrity and blight the confidence of America's greatest statesman, "Our president Roosevelt." Let the colored voters stand true to the trust imposed in them by the grand old party until the last vestige of hope has vanished. E. A. MURRELL. Vernon and Campbell Hon. Phillip G. Campbell of the fourth congressional district and Hon. W. T. Vernon register of the U. S. treasury, rpoke in the opera house on the 23rd. Both men were in excellent spirits and made fine speeches. Hon. Campbell was introduced by J. C. Hunt of this city. He spoke mainly on the tariff issue a protection of home industries, he is a fluent speaker and proved himself to be a statesman of high type one in whom we believe we can safely place our confidence. At the conclusion of his speech lawyer S. Beekman in very fitting remarks introduced William T. Vernon, who proved to his audience that he is an orator of superior degree. He spoke on the main issues of the campaign for a short while then turned his attention to the members of his race who composed a large part of the congregation. He said that he was a race man and that he did not expect at any time to be separated from his people, he spoke briefly of the Southern democracy and its treachery, of its conject and peon age farms and their strong desire to repeal the fifteenth amendment. The colored people of this city are proud of the privilege to have one of their race of such distinction among them and hope that time when they can more fully show their appreciation. The School Question. The Topeka Daily Capital in a recent issue had much to say on the much discussed question of the separation of the white and colored children in the public schools of this state. From the emphasis given to this question by the leading Republican paper of the state, one easily concludes that this is the question at issue in the present campaign. It is the issue. In this campaign Republican success seems to be bound up in the colored voters, never since the waving of Populism has there been such a careful and painstaking effort to reach the voters of our race. At a time like this the conduct of our people should not be prompted by passion and prejudice, no more than we should follow the lead of the blatant haranguer What we will need in this important crisis is great common sense, and the exercise of patience. The editor of this paper has always been opposed to the separation of white and colored children and it has always been our belief that the school conditions in Kansas are a disgrace to the memory of the noble band of martyrs who died that Kansas might be tree from the stigma of chattel slavery. But these are not times to well in the past, the present presents a condition worthy by our most careful study and prudent conduct. The position our people should take is to see the representative in the various districts and secure pledges for them that they will work for the repeal of all obnoxious laws. The Republican party can not be relied on to do right by all. PUBLICATION NOTICE In the City Court Port the City of Tope pal, Shawnee County, Kansas ID: Lwng Plantuf, v.

PROSECUTE IMPLEMENT TRUST. Fred A. Jackson After International 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 antitrust 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 profit from $5,000 to $50,000 in Mr. Jackson is able to sustain his contention 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 of such evidence as he would desire on which to base prosecutions. He is finding it more difficult to get evidence against the Standard for the reason that producers are better satisfied with conditions than they were some time ago. The anti-discrimination and maximum freight rate laws enacted by the republican legislature two years ago have helped the oil producers wonderfully. As a result of the favors the oil producers received from the republicans those best ported on political conditions in southwestern Kansas are prophesying that Governor Hoch and the republican state ticket will carry the third congressional district by 6,000. KEEFER MIS-QUOTED. Popullet Candidate Victim of Kansas City State Micropolitan City Star Microrepresentation. In view of the fact that the entire Democratic 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 falsehood 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 Hoeh, the Star, in its desperation has now stooped to misquoting even the Populist candidates for Governor Horace A. Koefer. Mr. Koefer 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 Koefer in which he was credited with a statement that Harris would carry the state. Mr. Koefer 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 thorigged 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 stead Sapp was on the jump all the time Ryan is sluggish Sapp knew everybody, Ryan doesn't Sapp's political manifestoes would parse 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 damms 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. 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 Harris, said lately that "Harris' friends had to pull him through in spite of state committee." Gov Hoch finds his prospects as good now as they were at this time two years ago; and everybody knows what happened two years ago. FOR YOUNG FOLKS SEESAW SWIMMER. A Dellorette Feat of Balancing and How to Perform It. Cut the tops of two long corks into wedge shape, insert the corks firmly in the necks of two bottles of equal height and place the bottles on the table about ten inches apart with the edges of the corks parallel to each other. Now try to balance a table knife on one of the shirpened corks. If you succeed, reject that knife and try one with a heavier handle, for we must have two knives that will not balance unaided. Having found two such knives, hold them level on the corks with their points almost in contact, moving the bottles if necessary, and set on their points a small, thin A hand holding a glass over a balance beam with two bottles on either side. wineglass or tumbler containing just enough water to make the whole affair balance when you take your hands off it. So far you have accomplished a striking and "ticklish" balancing feat and that is all. Now attach a bullet, coin or any small heavy object to a thread, carefully lowering it into the water in the little glass. As soon as the coin touches the water the glass begins to go down, the knives turning like seasaws on the corks, and the more of the coin you submerge the lower goes the glass, so that if the coin is large you will have a smash before it is half under water. But you can pull it up at any instant. As you do so the glass follows as if it were glued to the coin, and so you can keep it seesawing up and down. Perhaps the reason of this is not clear to you. The coin is held up by the thread and does not touch the glass, so how can it affect it? Well, the coin is not held up by the thread alone. The part that is under water is held partly by the thread and partly by the water, which buoys it up with a force equal to the weight of an equal bulk of water. The coin, therefore, processes the water and consequently the glass downward with an equal force. Now, when you pull out the coin this extra weight is taken off, so the glass rises to its original position. Birds With Tooth. Birds are simply reptiles which have shed their scales and teeth, grown wings and feathers and invaded the demission of air. The very oldest bird of which science has any record had very sharp teeth, rather weak wings and a long tail adorned with twenty pairs of quill feathers. Some of these birds were not able to fly at all, and they nearly all lived on fish. Gradually as they developed through centuries they grew more feathers, longer and stronger wings, lost their teeth and got sharp, hard bills instead. There were no birds before the reptilian age, and every bird that flies today traces its ancestry back to a sharp toothed snake. So the old joke, "As long ago as when hems had teeth," is not so much of a joke after all. How He Guards His Neat. There is nothing very remarkable about the bird known as the created flycatcher, as far as appearance goes. He wears a crest coquettishly upon his pretty head, and from under it his eyes look particularly large and bright. His name is crested flycatcher, and what has made him especially noted is his little peculiarity in arranging his nest. When he has completed the building of his nest he bunts about until he finds the castoff skin of a snake. This he carries to his nest and fastens there as a sort of decoration. It has been surmised that his chief object is doing this is to frighten away any intruders. $1x Make a Pound. Although not old enough to go to school, Willet had some knowledge of arithmetic, gained chiefly by doing errands. One day as he was repeating to himself the number facts with which he was familiar he was heard to say: "Twelve make a dozen and six make a pound." "Six what make a pound?" some one asked tensingly. "Six pork chops," maintained Willist. Mary "Lisaleth's" Doll. My doll is just the quiescent child; She really almost drives me wild; It isn't that she's just bad, you know.

"Within the next hundred years the white race will be in subjection to the black and red races of the earth, unless there be a change on the part of the first named in its policy of treatment of the people of Asia and Africa. And I do not see at this time any definite indication that this innovation is coming." This is the view of the Reverend Father C. F. Checlzzli, an Abyssinian priest of the Coptic Church, who is in Topeka. Father Checlzzli is a native of Africa, a black man with out the mixture of one drop of white blood in his veins. He is extremely proud of this fact. He claims that he race to which he belongs is the superior of all other races of the earth and that in time this will be demonstrated. He believes, further, and in this, too, there is a show of unbounded pride, that his people are of the original descent of Ham. It is his theory that they had the Israelites in captivity in the times mentioned in the Old Testament of the Christian Bible. Father Checlzzli has the degree of master of arts from the Oxford University, of England, and from Cambridge University, the same country, he holds the degree of bachelor of science. He speaks, and understands with remarkably ready perception, the English language. Besides the English language he speaks fourteen tongues. Ten of these are native African and the remainder are European. He was sent to America as the educational representative of the Coptic Church and since then has been seeing this country. He likes it, but he believes there are some bad things about it. "I love your plan of government in America," he said. "But that is about as far as I can go. The theory of it isn't always lived up to. Why, in the other countries of the world, the talk of freedom and liberty in America is only a laughing stock. Nobody believes it." "What do you think of the status and prospects of the Negro in America," he was asked. "I resent, sir, the term Negro. It is a term of degradation to my people the same as I have been led to believe the word bleacher is to the white race. If you mean the blacks of America, I should say that in your Southern states there is barbarous treatment the equal of which I have not known, even among the lowest tribes of Africa. It is a wonder that the black men have endured it as long as they have. "But they are coming out of it some of these days. In time the blacks of pure blood are going to migrate back to Liberia. Ultimately they will unite with Abyssinia into one power which will sweep away the oppression which the white race for so many years has systematically and so cruelly visited upon people of my race. "But with those blacks who leave this country there will be none of the mixed bloods. They will remain behind to die with the white men. Those who have learned the criminal wayn of the white men likewise are to stay in this country. By the red race I mean Japanese and Chinese as well as American Indians. "Abyssinia, I say again, is the greatest nation in the world. There never has been the intermixture of racial bloods there, for no man from a foreign country is permitted to come there and stay. If a man wants to visit our country, first he must be properly commissioned by the government to which he gives allegiance. Then he is examined by the proper officers of my people and if having the proper credentials he is allowed to come in and see the king. Otherwise he must stay out. We have a great building erected in our political capital where visitors from foreign countries may come and tarry. But they must not stay longer than two weeks. Even men who come there for commer cial purposes must leave within the time limit. Our nation is absolutely shut in from the outside. The face of the country is mountainous and my people are a pastoral people. They spend their time herding sheep, goats, camels and elephants. They are not up to the standard of progressiveness set by your American farmers, but Nature in that climate provides for them liberally and they don't have to be so industrious. We have an army of 500,000 men, all ready for service at any time. They are trained after the German military system and are great fighters. This number represents only the standing army. A much larger number might be put in the field in the event of war. It would be out of the question for an outside force to invade our country." Father Cheelzzli was asked if there were any crimes, and consequently any prisons or jails there. "I have been asked," was his answer, "if the people of my country have shown any propensity for chicken thieving. I will answer that by saying that they have not that propensity, but those here have learned from the white people they have come in contact with. There isn't any crime worth speaking of. We have no prisons of any kind. If a man commits murder, he is sent away to one of the great forces of the country full of wild beasts. It is the understanding there will be no escape from these beasts; but if, peradventure, he should escape, this is taken as a sign of Divine interference and he is treated as a great man. The Emperor sends him a gift and he is royally treated by other men." Father Cheelzli says that his government is one of the oldest of the human race, having existed for 12,005 years. The State religion, he says, was originated by the prime minister of Ethiopia, which was the old biblical name for his country, and that the church was established by two Abyssinian apostles, Saint Matthew and Simon, the Canaanite, 15 days after the ascension of Jesus. The conception of the Coptic Church, which is called Christian, is not the same as the Western belief. The Abyssinian church does not recognize the spiritual divinity of Jesus Christ, nor the personality of the Holy Ghost. Abyssinia has the ancient Arabic version of the Scriptures, which he claims to be the only pure Bible. He says that Moses was a Negro and that Jesus Christ was a black Jew. On this latter subject he will Lecture tonight at the A. M. E. church. He goes to Omaha tonight, and thence to Victoria, B. C.—Topeka Capital. AT HORTON. During our visit to Horton, Kas, last week, we were glad to have the pleasure of driving through the country with our friend, Col. J. B Fleming, one of the leading politicians of Brown county. Mr. Fleming is one of the county's most respected colored men. We visited Hiawatha, where he looked after the political situation of the county and talked with the committee, transacting some business that will prove fruitful. He was received with great honor by the county officials and Republicans of Hiawatha, who rely considerably on his judgment. Col. Fleming is doing much to increase the Republican majority in that county. We hope the Negro voters of the county will see to it that this rebel candidate for the Legislature, F. C. Lucas, will be defeated. He was born in Maryland and is here to do the bidding of Vardman and others of his class. While he appears to be alright while around home, and treats colored people well in a business way (which is no more than any other man should do), when you place him in authority to make laws and vote for United States Senator, it will be a dangerous precedent. Let every colored man in Hiawatha vote solid against him. Down with Harris and other Southern rebels! There are too many of them in Kansas already. The Spade in Modern Warfare. The deadlock of the contending armies in Manchuria immediately after the battle of Sha Ii river recruits 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 1857 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 Spotsylvania, 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, G. led by General Johnston. Johnston met every advance of his opponent Sherman, with strong forthinations. Sherman fortified the ground taken, as he pushed his army step by step against the enemy's reserve lines. Prolonged contests always end in a brute struggle for the mastery, and finally the The breastwork, the parapet, in the place of human bodies to pilots and shells. In this respect warfare has but the same answer to the old problem—the space he spade. Sending Christmas Presents by Mail. 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 labor 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 up long before they reach their destination. Speaking of it the other day, a mull clerk said if people would take the trouble to put the article in a box it would have a great deal of unnecessary worry and labor at a time when the clerks are badly outworked, and the present would reach the person for whom it is intended in much better shape than it usually does. A shoe or a corset box or a breakfast food carton makes a package of convenient size for handling in the mails 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 injure 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 Port Corintio, 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 convicted over 12,000 aliens of crimes at a cost to her taxpayers of over $€30,000. Further more, the infuz of aliens is raising the rents to a figure which is beyond the resources of her own poor tollers. Many of the aliens are paupers and become a burden upon the communities 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 dalai lams 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. The muskrat predicts a mild winter, the goose bone an extremely cold one. Between the two we may expect the full blades of weather. The New Japanese Code. Notamizo Horiuchi, 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 in vitting by an attempt to revolutionize everything in 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 1685 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 "heaven forth every law upon its promulgation shall be posted in conglobous places for the information of the people" making it idle 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 avidionists. Both Buddhism and fundamentalism had Japanese women kept in a state of dependency. The Chinese doctrine of the three evidences 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 new 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," a 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 medieval 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 advarge goes, and that thus she 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 anubbed this pretentious individual and caused his recall, gained votes as a result of the incident. Not alone St. Louis, but the whole country, may be congratulated over the success of the Louisiana Purchase exposition. The labors of the projectors and managers have been appreciated, and millions of people have added to their stock of knowledge in a way that can never be forgotten. The correspondents in the far east, having nothing better to do, seem to be amusing themselves by inventing new and more tantalizing ways of spelling the names of Manchurian villages.

POETRY Every year thousands of bushels of walnuts go to waste all over the country, and few farmers think of their value for poultry food. For years we have been gathering the walnuts and storing them in, some shed or our house, and we consider every bushel of them worth fully as much as a bushel of oats. It is not necessary to remove the hulls, but do not store them more than a few inches deep, as they may heat and rot. A 10x10 space will hold a big wagon head safely. Who real cold weather sets in we hail us a bushelful with an idle and feed them to the laying barn. The great amount of oil contained in the kernels will do more to help keep our animal heat than almost any other foodstuff we can produce, and we have never had disease in our stocks when we have walnuts as part of the winter ration. With eggs at present prices, and high prices during the past year, we must look to see them set high all through the coming winter, and should do all within our power to make us no lay.

FORD'S HAIR POMADE Formerly known as “OZONIZED OX MARROW” BO STRAIGHTENS THEKY or CURIY HAIR that it can be put in any style desired consistent with its lower height. Ford's Hairy Pomade was formerly known as OZONIZED OX MARROW, and it is the only area prepared in known to be that which is심한. In the early years of our straight, as shown above, I do not have the most soft, hard, harsh, hinky or curly hair soft, plastic and easy to comb. These results may be so easily used on the treatment. But it has not been usually made for use in the use of Ford's Hair Pomade (OZONIZED OX MARROW) and may not have the best� and preventable control. The hair from falling out, breaking out, makes it grow and by nourishing the roots, give it no life and sign. Being elegantly performed and of hardness, it is a soft, healthy hair product. The softness and children's Marrow has been made and sold until 100 X MARROW was registered in the United Kingdom. The Parmor Office in this is all that long, some there has never been in the same way. It is a very good product from the Parmor company, and it is made and effective so matter how long you make it.

But McNeal Makes Him Admit He Is Sorry Roosevelt is President—Democratic Campaign Managers Are in a Big Row—Jarrell Raps Overmyer and Joe Wright 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' absolute fascicerity 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 nominee 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 so. I said nothing of the sort. Can't you be fair?" "There is no intention on my part to be unfair," McNeal replied quietly. "If I have misrepresented Col. Harris, I beg his pardon. I simply inferred from his speech that while he voted for Parker he is pleased at Roosevelt's election. Of course 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 tively lot of kicking about it. Ryan has been an absolute and positive failure in his work as chairman up to this time and his incompetency is so marked that even David Overmyer has been prompted to admit that a mistake was made in the deposition of Sapp. It is rumored here in Topeka that Overmyer went to Democratic headquarters recently and kicked up a big row with Ryan because the latter has been doing nothing toward building up an organization. Of course neither Overmyer or Ryan will discuss the matter for publication but there is little if any doubt regarding the authenticity of the rumors. Perhaps the best evidence that all is not moving smoothly and that there is dissatisfaction with Chairman Ryan is furnished by the Kansas City Star. The Star is the official' organ of the democratic party in Kansas and it gets inside information direct from all the Democratic candidates. In an editorial published only a few days ago the Star openly and frankly acknowledged that the Democratic campaign lacks ginger. The editorial also estimates that the Kansas Democracy has lost its power of action and indicates that the chances of the election of Col. Harris of Chicago as Governor of Kansas are not strong. The editorial was as follows: It may be their strong feeling of reliance on the strength and popularity of Colonel W. A Harris which causes the Democratic leaders in Kansas to content themselves with the policy of letting the campaign for Governor sort of take care of itself. It is certain that they are not displaying the energy and the aggressive spirit which a leader like Colonel Harris might well inspire It is most unfortunate that a protracted lease of power tends too villate 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-Kanag has been idle, it seems, to lose the power of action and to become listless and flabby. ee =
