THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. 21459 VOLUME VIII. Topeka Should Show. the Business League That Kansas and Kansans are Right. Now that the excitement of the election is over, I take this means of emphasizing the increasing necessity of our settling down to hard work along all lines of business enterprises. The brave fight made by the colored people of this state in the recent campaign has gained for us more genuine respect and recognition than we ever had before. It is up to us to "make good," less we lose what we have gained. It took bravery for the colored boys to charge San Juan hill and En Cancy Heights. It took courage for them to hold their ground after they had taken it. It took bravery for the colored people to gain their recent victory in this state. It will require courage for them to hold it This courage can only be demonstrated by our daily, weekly and yearly achievements along all "constructive" lines of progress. Our success in a campaign for a financial competency in all lines of business and commerce pursuits will be the best proof that we are capable people; and the most stunning rebuke to the Southern settlement which is so rapidly increasing over the country. If we fail to produce material results all the laws which might be enacted for us will fail. If we produce results, we can not only prevent black laws being enacted, but we can cause the enforcement of laws which are not on the statute books. For laws are first made in the heart. A law which is always enforced by the letter only, will become sooner or later, obsolete. On the contrary, if the sentiment is favorable to conditions not recognized by existing laws, the interest of those concerned will receive attention all the same. We are true citizens only to the extent that we contribute our share individually and collectively toward the material development of the country. The recent sweeping reform legislations acted by Congress were made possible by the general wave of prosperity throughout the country, being first produced by the whole people and then enjoyed by them. The whites will continue to demand good laws and their enforcement, just so long as they continue to develop their material resources. What is true of them is true of us. We should not ever wish it were otherwise. The activity of our people along business and industrial lines in Topeka and throughout the state has been a creditable source of pride for many years. But we should all look back a moment and see if we have made the most of our opportunities. Whether we have or have not, we must see that not an opportunity is lost, from now on. We must successfully undertake more than ever before. We must help Topeka and Kansas grow and not "watch" them grow. If we wait until the semi-centennial is here, the decrease in our ratio of wealth will be so great we will not be able to ever regain our present per cent. Let everyone own or be paying on a home or farm. Let all encourage business enterprises by patronizing at least one colored enterprise. We can do full justice to our colored business and then have sufficient trade for our white friends and patrons left. I can promise three new colored enterprises for the near future. I should be able to promise thirty At the present the boys and girls with limited or no school advantages are in the lead in business. Boys and girls must learn that they are educated to work, not to stop work. It is a means, not an end. The excuse of no money is a flimsy one. People have stopped losing a fortune in learning how to make a few dollars. Had Crosby Brothers of this city waited until they had $500, no doubt they would be poor men today. The thing to do is to begin. Start today. Invest $5, and make it back with enough more to leave a fair profit after expenses are paid. Keep this up, on an increasing scale, always use good, common sense. It the "stuff" is in you' money will come when you are really ready for it. Do not always wait to be pleased with your business. Sometimes you will not find what you like until you have begun work. Again, you may not be adapted to what you like. The thing to do is to begin some thing. So far, Kansas colored people are far behind in cooperative business. The greatest cause of this has been because the "grafter" and the "tricks ter" have always been on hand to pocket the cash, even before the enterprise was started. The public must condemn, boycott and ostracise such persons wherever they show up Yet, we must remember that there are some honest colored business men, who are entitled to our confidence. There is not any necessity for an honest, co-operative enterprise to fail, and it will not fail. Your money is always safe in such an investment. We must have a bank in Topeka. Men are getting rich on interest paid by colored people. Enough to support a bank can be spared and then the whites will hardly notice the decrease. Everyone is looking forward with great interest to the eighth annual session of the National Negro Business Men's League in this city ten months hence. I can assure all that this great meeting will bring great showers of blessings to our section of the country. But if we sit down and idly wait, we will not be in a position to get the greatest benefit from it. These meetings are for the purpose of stimulating our growth in business lines, and for the development of commercial resources. I wish to urge all to lend my opportunity to meet every condition necessary for putting in and getting out of this meeting the greatest benefits. Ina O. Guy. NEGRO LABOR IN IN THE SOUTHI We see the Southerners held a conference at Chataanooga, having representatives of several states, including governors and other state officials; this indicates that the South is in dire straits for labor. They will soon learn to treat the Negro laborers somewhere near decent before they can induce foreigners to locate in that section of the United States. As long as the average Southern white man does not labor himself he will never be in sym, pathy with those who do. As long as peonage exists and men are forced to work at starvation wages, just so long will foreign labor shun the Southland. South Carolina and other Southern states in'78 had made great inducements for German immigrants, and several hundreds temporarily settled in the Sou.h, but after a few years of experience with the Southerners, they migrated West. The South can never expect to get any great number of industrious foreigners until their system of laws and customs is changed. They can never get foreigners to cultivate their cotton fields. That is a matter of impossibility. The darker races CONTINUED ON PAGE 8 TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOV. 16, 1906. ROOSEVELT FIRES THE MEN THAT SAVED HIM! Saved the Day at San Juan Hill Only to Be Discharged from the Service of Uncle Sam Without Honor---President Roosevelt's Order. Below are the full particulars of the order of the dismissal of the three troops of the 25th Infantry, now stationed at Ft. Reno. Also, concerning Col. Pitcher of the 27th Infantry who made shirring remarks about colored soldiers. There is no doubt in the minds of the public of the wrong and injustice heaped upon colored soldiers by prejudiced superior officers. We are sorry that the President acted so hastily in this matter and hope that Congress will see to it that those who have been in service for the past quarter of a century and who were about to be retired on pay, receive justice at their hands. President Roosevelt should have considered that he himself was once a soldier and that were he in these men's place he would hate to have such justice meted out to him. We think he should give this matter his careful reconsideration and allow these men not implicated in the matter the benefit of every doubt. This is the first time in history that we have known people to suffer for the misdeeds of others, and at the hands of the President of these United States. He was wrong in approving such an order and the officer who made it was no more nor less than a Rebel soldier. Old Col. Beuregard, of Confederate fame could not have done worse. Carlington is wrong and his animosity toward colored soldiers is as bad as that of the arch-monster, Wm. L. Pitcher, of the 27th Infantry. President Roosevelt should not allow himself nor his good name to be connected with these outrages. WASHINGTON, November 8.—The President issued an order today, discharging dishonorably from the service the battalion of the Twenty-fifth Infantry, Negroes, now stationed near El Reno, Okla. The battalion contains the men who caused a disturbance in Brownville, Texas, in which one white citizen was killed and several were injured. Abnot twenty soldiers at the most were' in the disturbance. The troops were then moved North. The men of the battalion refused to dislodge the names of their guilty companions. The President issued an order carried out by Inspector General Carlington, that the entire battalion would be discharged dishonorably if the men did not give up the troopers who did the shooting. The men refused and the President carried out his threat. Mr. Roosevelt's act is unprecedented act in the history of the army of the United States. An evidence, however, of his intention to be fair to the Negro troops, the President has accompanied this action by an order which may amount to the court martial of a white army officer of high grade, Col. Patcher, of the Twenty-seventh Infantry, who was charged with having cast slurs upon the Negro troops. The story of both actions is told in official correspondence made public today by the military secretary, who reports: The report of an investigation made by Brigadier General E. A. Carlington, Inspector General of the army, relative to the riotous disturbance that occurred at Brownsville, Tex., on the night of August 13, 1906, and that resulted in the death of one and the wounding of another citizen of that city, had been considered and acted upon by the President. Following are the instructions with regards to the matter: 'The White House, Washington, Nov. 5, 1906.—The Secretary of War: I have read through Gen. Carlington's report dated Oct. 22, submitted by you to me. I direct that the recommendation of General Carlington be complied with and that at the same time the concluding portion of his report be published with our sanction as giving the reasons for the action. THE PRESIDENT'S DIRECTIONS. Following is the concluding portion of General Carlington's report, which embodies the recommendation that, by the direction of the President, will be carried into effect immediately by the War department: "I recommend that orders be issued as soon as practicable, discharging, without honor, every man in company B, C and D of the Twenty-fifth Infantry serving at Ft. Brown, Tex. on the night of August 13, 1906, and forested them from re-elisting in the army or navy of the United States, as well as from employment in any civil capacity under the government. In making this recommendation, I recognize the fact that a number of men who have no direct knowledge as to the identity of the men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry who actually fired the shots on the night of the thirteenth of August, 1906, will incur this extreme penalty. "It has been established by careful investigation beyond reasonable doubt, that the firing into the houses of the citizens of Brownsville while the inhabitants thereof were pursuing their peaceful avocations or sleeping, and by which one citizen was killed and the chief of police so seriously wounded that he lost an arm, was done by enlisted men of the Twenty fifth Infantry, belonging to the battalion stationed at Fort Brown. After due opportunity and notice he enlisted men of the Twenty-fifth Infantry have failed to tell all that it is reasonable to believe they know concerning the shooting. If they had done so; if they had been willing to relate all the circumstances—instances preliminary to the trouble—it is extremely probable that a clue sufficiently definite would have been disclosed. They appeared to stand together in a determination to resist the detection of the guilty; therefore they should stand together when the penalty falls. A LESSON NELDED. A forceful lemmon should be given to the army at large, and especially to the noncommissioned officers, that their duty does not cease with the drill grounds, with the calling of the company rolls, making check inspections and other duty of formal character; but that their responsibilities of office accompany them everywhere and at all times; that it in their duty to become thoroughly acquainted with the individual members of their respective units, to know their characteristics; to be able at all times to guage their temper, in order to discover the beginning of discontent or mutinous intentions, and to anticipate any organized act of disorder; that they must notify their officers at once of any such conditions. Moreover, the people of the United States, wherever they live, must feel assured that the men wearing the uniforms of the army are their protectors and not midnight assassins or riotous distracters of the peace of the community in which they are stationed. On October 5, 1906, a squadron of the Ninth Cavalry, an organization of coloral troops, reported at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, under orders from the War department assigning them to duty there. Soon after the assignment there appeared in the public press the following account of a public statement alleged to have been made with regard to the matter by Colonel William L. Pitcher, Twenty-seventh Infantry: "The Negro troops never would have been quite at Fort Sheridan without a fort if I was to remain in confederate here. I never liked them in a farther away from me they kept the better of these life of me I cannot live the United States try to make soldiers out of them Certainly, there are enough fine, white young men in this big country to make soldiers of without recruiting to such a source." This alleged statement by Colonel Luther having been brought to the attention of the President, the following communication with regard to it was sent to the War department by Secretary Loeb: "The President desires that an immediate report be called for from Colonel Pitcher to know whether or not he is correctly quoted in the inclosed clipping; and if he is correctly quoted, the President directs that proceedings be taken against him for such punishment as can be inflicted. The President thinks that such conduct is but little better than that of the offending Negro troops themselves. Very truly yours." Many of the men in the discharged companies at Fort Reno have been so long in the service that they have only a few years to serve in order to retire upon three fourths pay. Thirty years service is necessary for this retirement. They are now to lose the result of these years of service on account of the stubbornness of the few who know the men in the riots. The older men in the battalion say that the order to dismiss them is unjust as they insist they know nothing of the trouble in Brownsville. They have no way to protect themselves, they say, and are innocent both of the trouble in Brownsville and of hiding anything they know about it. Some of the men are sergeants and many of them would draw on an average $45 a month after retirement. By this dishonorable discharge some of the older soldiers will lose a chance to retire on pay of $200 to $300 a year. The Negro soldiers have been restless since arriving at Fort Repo from Texas and have been kept within the bounds of the garrison. Several nights ago a shot was fired at the quarters of Maj. Penrose, post commandant, by one of the Negroes. This story is denied, but the soldiers assert that it is true and corroborate their statements by saying that immediately after the shot the entire garrison was ordered out and an examination made of the guns and revolvers. Whose soldiers at the post have been guarding with extra care the boundary line of the garrison to prevent any members of the three companies from leaving the post. The soldiers in these companies have served a long time, some of them as long as twenty-seven years. In spite of the ultimatum from CONTINUED ON PAGE 4. NUMBER 45 A Good Meeting Held at Lincoln Institute-It Was Both Profitable and Interesting. The Farmer's Institute inaugurated in Lincoln Institute by president Allen on his election to the presidency of the institution, as a legitimate and integral part of its work, convened in fifth annual session November 9. 1906. An enthusiastic and vry helpful meeting was held, the Globe Democrat and other metropolitan papers of wide circulation, giving extended accounts of the proceedings. Farmer Jackson of Boone County, among others, brought an excellent exhibit of fruits from his orchads, and other staple crops, and with farmer Logan of Calloway county gave a very interesting account of his struggles from the humblest begining to the present time, when both of them own and control well stocked farms under excellent cultivation. The entire session was a most potent object lesson to the hundreds of young men and women in the student body who listened to the discussions and enlivened the more serious work of the convention by rendering humorous selections from Duabar, national and patriotic songs. A fine exhibit of corn grown by the students of the agricultural department was of much interest as also the valuable paper by Professor Damel of that department on "Seed Corn" illustrated by a chart of his own manufacture. President Allen's annual address to the convention was teeming with practical points and presented a strong plea for agriculture and its attendant industries as the cornerstone of the development or, indeed of that of any primitive people. Many of the young men and women of the student body are the sons and daughters of farmers and the president urged these young people to think carefully before leaving the farm for the more precarious life of the city, adding that the practical education they were receiving in Lincoln Institute was especially adapted to enable them to become successful, intelligent and progressive farmers, to become skillful producers, and to make agriculture one of the most remunerative pursuits, This brings us to the strong editorial from editor Chiles on president Allen and the work he is accomplishing which appeared in the last issue of the Plaindealer. This editorial was an excellent one and served as a compliment to a Christian gentleman and scholar who is doing untold good for the cause of Negro education in the middle West, in fact as the editor states it is confined to no section for graduates of Lincoln are found everywhere. "You can go into scarcely any portion of the country without finding both men and women employed in prominent and responsible positions, who are graduates of this school." A Visitor.

Smith, assistant general agent of the Sells-Floto shows, El Grandise, Mexico. He says every one is getting rich, which is good news (very) body in the state is in proud to know that Billy Sells an old Topkai boy, one of the best fireys men in the country, in acquiring the Mexicans to the trade. The ladies of the Shamrock club held a special meeting on Friday afternoon at the residence of Mrs. T. Bird, the occasion being the parting wishes to one of their number, Mrs. J. M. Brown, who will take up her residence in Lawrence, Kane in the near future. The afternoon was spent in conversation. After luncheon the club presented Mrs. Brown a handsome tablecloth. There are several of the dishonorably discharged soldiers who served in the Spanish-Amorloan war, also in Indian warfare, and who would have been entitled to $35 per month during life for sold services. Some lacked only a year and a half of having been in service thirty years. Most of these soldiers knew nothing about the affair, until afterwards, having been asleep in their beds at the time the offence was committed. This works a hardship on the innocent, and we think it no more than right and just that the affair be reconsidered by the president and Congress. --- The following civil service examinations have been announced for Topeka.

Owing to illness in the family of Mrs. Birdwhistle, the Excelsior Art club met yesterday with Mrs. Winn in North Topeka. After the usual business a nice lunch was served. The next meeting will be at the home of Mrs. Ford on Madison street, North Topeka. The chiddling suppers in Kansas City, Mo. seem to be working a hard-hip upon that class of colored people who believe in rowdyism and beer drinking. They seem to have considerable trouble at these festivities, several roots and cutting scrapes having taken place of late. If hog intestines are going to cause all this trouble, Negroes had better return to chicken. James White was one of the successful twelve out of forty that passed the examination before the State board of pharmacy at Concordia one day this week. Mr. White is one of Topeka's best young men—strightforward and honorable, and a credit to the city and his race. We congratulate Mr. White upon his energy and pluck and would be glad to see other young men follow in his footsteps. At present he is employed by the A. F. Gathin Drug Co., one of the largest and finest wholesale stores in the West. Lxr the colored people petition the president and the Congressmen and Senators, asking for the rector. ation of the discharged soldiers of the Twenty Fifth Infantry. Those soldiers were stationed in Texas, where a lot of poor whites did every thing in their power to humiliate and disgrace Negroes, and a few of the soldiers in the night attempted to recent the insults which had been heaped upon them, thus protecting themselves and their lives. Some colored person wanting to locate in Topeka and own a good piece of business property, consisting of a three story brick building with rented stone basement, in the central part of the city, with some cash down and the rest on time, may obtain a good paying investment by writing at once for particular to A BARGAIN.

This is a good investment for the right party FIRST AFRICAN At the business meeting of the Christian Endeavor society last week much interest in the committee work was manifested. Several new faces were noticed, which added to the happiness of all present. A large congregation listened to Rev. Carr's sermon Sunday morning from the text: "Love your enemies, do good to those which persecute you and despitifully use you." The discourse was very impressive indeed. The Ladies' Sewing Circle meets this afternoon with Mrs. Ella Enix on East Twelfth street. The circle is making arrangements to serve dinner on Thanksgiving Day, according to its time honored custom. So many good cooks belong to the circle that the success of the dinner is well assured. Prepare to attend. Services of Thanksgiving will be held at 11 a.m. on the 29th. You are invited to attend, and earnestly requested to be punctual. The pastor will endeavor to show you just how and why to express your gratitude. A musical program will be rehearsed, on the evening of Thanksgiving. Pay attention which time, a large attendance is expected. The Sunday School and the Missionary Union will be repre sented at the meeting of the executive board of the State Convention by Mr. Samuel Telford. The baptizing was postponed last Sunday, owing to the fact that the water was cut off from the main on Quinoy street. The members of the Vigilance committee are expected to bring in a report of their work Sunday. WESTERN UNIVERSITY. Prot. H. T. Kealing of Philadelphia, Ia., one of the brainy educational plants of the nation addressed the students in chapel, Wednesday, Nov. 7th. Dr. Kealing is master of lofty ideals and higher thought. The student body is greatly elated over the showing made by this year's football team against the panderowweight of the Sodalina chosen at George H. Smith college. The score, it to 6, on last Friday's game, told a bitterly fought losing contest. Last year Western University team beat 17 to 0. Dr S. W. Ricote, pastor of the Second Baptical church, Kansas City, Mo., all dressed the Forum, last Sunday. The subject, "The Negro is Coming," was very thoroughly discussed. The State Board and University Board were in session last week; the trustees are highly pleased at the progress the institution is making along all lines, and have plans making good for a greater Western U. A University orchestra of nine pieces recently organized with Prof. Robt. Jackson as director, plays daily for the students to march out of chapel. This innovation is quite an improvement to our institution. The student body is displaying much interest in the coming inter-state session where the best brain and talent in the West will be pitted against each other in friendly rivalry. The old institutions are aroused as never before to maintain their supremacy. The Western U. team and Lincoln Institute will play a Thanksgiving football game at Association Park, Kansas City, Mo., Friday, Nov. 23rd.

The deadlock of the contending armies in Manchuria immediately after the battle of Sha River recalls the campaigns of the civil war. Kuropatkin fortified in the trunks where the battle left him, and so did his enemy. The Russian fortifications are known to be formidable, and conditions those constructed by the Japanese are equally strained, nearly in the civil war the spade was at it a decolour. But in both the northern half the southern half tells us making in the quite and breastworks as soon as a decision is incurred in the fighting. The Confederate General Lee in his retrograde movement from the Wilderness battlefield to Junction Hill fortified the lines taken in the battle in Pennsylvania, North Annapolis and Cold Harbor. Grant fought his way up to the Confederate outposts and also fortified his lines. In the end he give up trying to burst through the enemy's strong barricades and moved forward by the flank. The same methods characterized the Confederate retrograde movement from Dalton to Atlanta, led by General Johnston. Johnston met every advance of his opponent, Sherman, with strong fortifications. Sherman fortified the ground taken as he punished 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 Sending Char presents by Mail. The approo ne Christmas season brings but pleasant anticipations for railway mail clerks who hand 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 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 perish for whom it is intended in much better shape than it usually does. A ape or a corset box or a breakfast food cart makes a package of convenient size for handling in the mail. Glass, cloth 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 prepared. 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 politician 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 lothman would undoubtedly invite 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 new exists. The federation movement received a considerable impetus from the recent convention at Port 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 syruppathy 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 $000,000. Furthermore, the inflow 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 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. The muskrat predicts a mild winter, the goose bone an extremely cold one. Between the two we may expect the usual "all kinds of" weather. DO YOU CARRY LIFE INSURANCE? If Not, Why Not?

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 spells of backache, that seem almost more than I can endure. These attacks come on every month, 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. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills, and they always relieve me in a short time. My sister, who was the same way, was with them with the same previous." 1199 S. Michigan St., South Dond, Ind.

A beautiful birthday cake with one lighted candle in the centre was much admired and enjoyed. The souvenirs were cards containing the photo of Baby Juanita. She was presented $100 by her father, which was deposited on interest. Her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Moody, presented her a high chair in which she sat and received her little guests. The party was the occasion of much mirth and fun to the mothers, who enjoyed the cute things which the babies did A GENEROUS OFFER. We would like to sell a one bird interest in THE PLAINDALEER to some live, activity colored man, and if he has no all the money, will rust him for part, as we can make it out of the business. Are there any Negro men in this country with a little money and some business pluck and energy, who wish to engage in the newspaper business? If there are, we are looking for you. If there is any father who has a son whom he wants to advance in business, give him some money and send him to us. and we will place him in THE PLAIN DEALER where he will learn business do business and make business; and within five years his father will not know him! TO MISSOURI TEACHERS. Pleas remember the meeting of the State Teachers' Association at Moberly during the Christmas holiday. Aside from a high classed program, that is being prepared, we shall have an educator of national reputation as the principal speaker of the week. Progressive teachers cannot afford to miss such a rare treat. Let "On to Moberly" be our war cry from this time forth. You who have delayed sending your subjects to Principal A. R. Chinn, Glasgow, Mo, should hurry and send them, as we desire to have our programs printed earlier this year. We can do so if the teachers of the state will but act promptly and co operate with us. All persons sending subjects will please be present and prepared at the time and place designated. Have your pupils begin now, so that the exhibits may be interesting.

Gov. Heyward in speaking of the Negro, said that they will have to improve or go We think before another century, Mr. Heyward and his kind will have to improve or go. The Negro's adapted to the climate and soil and whenever South Carolina or other cotton states fail to get their proper yield, the so-called aristocrats like Heyward will have to migrate. There are thousands of industrious colored people in the South who are doing all they can to build themselves up, as well as the country. The Heyward class of whites are retarding their progress by dwelling on the color line. As soon as the Southern white man learns that merit, courage and ability win, and not color, the better it will be for all concerned We see in South Carolina that under Heyward's administration occured a suspension of a colored bank located at Greenville, for the reason that there was some supposed imperfections in bookkeeping This is only a sly way the prejudiced whites have to keep Negroes out of business. If Heyward and his gang would try to encourage and instruct Negroes in a business way, they would have no just cause to make such statements as they made at Chatanooga. The Negro is here to stay and Heyward and his class cannot help themselves. Treat him right and the South will be able to secure all the labor desired. In speaking of the matter Heyward says; Nashville, Teun, Nov. 12.—The committee on organization of the Southern Immigration Convention tonight decided to recommend to the convention the nomination of Gov. D. C. Heyward of South Carolina for president and Dr. J. B. McMullen of Gadsden, Alabama, for secretary-treasurer. The committee favors the holding of the next annual convention in Birmingham, Ala. the second Tuesday in November. The principal feature of today's session was an address by Governor Heyward of South Carolina. Governor Heyward said the coming of immigrants to the South had a bearing upon the practical and direct solution of the race problem. I there had been too much theorizing it was time for action. He said in part Without a precedent in the history of the world to be guided by, nearly always misunderstood, and misjudged, the people of the South have for more than 50 years sought to reconcile differences which were bound to arise between two races living on the same soil. No other people upon this earth could have succeeded as well as the Southern people have done in meeting existing conditions and this fact alone should not only give us courage and hope for the future, but should entitle us to the trust and confidence of the world. Sectional feeling fortunately passing away and our people understand each other better. Problems which were at one time peculiarly Southern are now becoming national. We Americans are more and more mutually carrying the white man's burden. I do not think that conditions which are the result of years can be changed in a day by the adoption of rule or the enactment of any special legislation. To solve the question will require not only time but patience and judgment on the part of the white man and upon the part of the Negro; it will call for the exercise of more common sense and a far greater appreciation of his moral responsibility." In speaking of the plan to deport Negrces, Governor Heyward said the deportation could not be attempted unless it became a national and not a Southern movement. "In the course of time," he continued, "the Negro, who is now rapidly increasing in certain cities of the North, many, by his failure to meet the expectations of the people of the North and of his own consequent responsibility, become such a humane and menace that our Northern friends will be ready to do something more than simply give advice to the South." Governor Heyward did not be heave that the antagonism between the races in the South was as bad as had been reported. "I do not believe," said he, "that the Southern people are standing on a volcano and that we are not far removed from a race war." In conclusion Governor Heyward said, "The white race is the predominant race and the Negro must understand once and for all that the bounds of the social and political questions will be determined by the white man alone and by the white men's code. He has a right to expect that his civil status should be the same in every respect as is of the white man. If he refuses to adjust himself to these inflexible conditions then the Negro will have to go" EAST LAS VEGAS N. M. L.
