THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. VOLUME IX WHITE BRUTE IS FINED! Taxed the Small Sum of $500 for Inhuman Assault on a Little 5-Year Old Girl. Frank Goodrich was fined $500, and costs for assaulting a little girl of 5 years at Oakland. We were surprised that the daily papers did not feature it in big headlines. Had it been a Negro it would have been, "Big, Burly Negro, etc." yet come on one side claim that it was a neighborhood affair and a fixed up scheme, while the little child testified positively that it was true. Our white brothers ought to get the morals of their own race straight before trying to correct the colored people. Seeks Company of Negroes! An old gentleman, sixty years of age, had two colored women and one boy arrested, charged with highway robbery, the past week. The evidence shows that he let these young girls, one about 18 and the other 20 years of age, induce him into a room; the old gentleman being tired and worn out, having farmed all summer, decided to go to bed. Of course, the lady was tired also. It seems that the old gentleman did not know that there was a bed under the bed, and girl No. 2 crawled out and proceeded to search the old gentleman's pockets and found $100 in $10 bills. A great scuffle took place and he says the girls took the money and gave it to a boy who hid it. All three have been arrested and are held, subject to the District court. We are sorry for the white race; it seems they can find nowhere to sleep but in houses with colored women. They do the same thing up No th as they do South. They should try these colored women and put them in the penitentiary, or send them out of the United States, where they will not interfere with these white men. Of course, this man could find no people of his own race to room with; being in love with the colored race he thought he would take his abiding place with them, with the consequence that it cost him $100, and now he wants to send them to the penitentiary for their kindness in letting him rest awhile. How ungrateful is the white man. Negro Students Call Gov. Hoch's Hand TO THE PLAINDEALER: The Governor, in his message to the Legislature, exposed himself to the malediction of most young colored men and women of this state by assigning how many were in colleges, asylums and the penitentiary. We think it would have been better for him to have thought a little more on this subject before launching out into such an erratic, desultory and purposeless cry against the younger Negro of the State of Kansas. Perhaps his statement would have carried more weight if he had told that come of the institutions that he named would not enroll Negro students. From his statement you can see that he is in full sympathy with the separate school law in this state. It is very evident to the officers and members of the club that he wishes to have an appropriation made for some Negro institution, and then forcefully advanced Negro students at it such in this institution. This would be a very similar TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY S. 1907 to that followed by Missouri and other Southern states. We, the members of the M'Etude club of the Kansas State Agricultural College., wish to respectfully submit the following notes concerning the Negro students in attendance here. Miss Adeline Poston of Emporia will receive the B. S. Degree this spring, from this college. H. M. Hunter, B.S. D., of Lincoln Inst't, is pursuing a course in Scientific Agriculture and will receive another degree in '08. E. Thaddeus Summytt, a graduate of the Wichita High school and lastly of Washburn college, is taking a special course in Adv. Chemistry and Physics. F. Delno Booker of Kansas City, Kansas, is tking the veterinary course leading to the degree of D. V. S. Dyson W. White, formerly of Hampton Inst., V2., is in the Mechanical Engineering department. Hope Hall, student at Tuskegee, '01, '02, '03, Electric Eng. Dept., will receive the degree of B. S. in the same branch. J. A. Whitfield, of Waubunsee, Kansas, is preparing for a higher course in law at the University of or Michigan. Emmitt Page, Homer James, Fred Grover and H. Robinson are enrolled for the short course in Agriculture. Richard R. Glead, of Lawrence, Kan., is taking Veterinary Science. Wesley McCoy, of Tuskegee, '05, is also in the Veterinary department. Frank R. Bynum, of Wichita, also of Tuskegee, '2, '3, is finishing up his course in Electrical Eng. Homer B. Roberts, Wellington, Kansas, also student at Tuskegee, '01, '2, '3, is taking a special course in Elect. Eng., for technical points. L'Etude Club is composed of the progressive students of the Kansas State Agricultural College and has been organized for the purpose of benefiting each other and outsiders. HOMER B. ROBERTS, Pres. FRANK H. BYNUM, Sec. INDEPENDENCE, KAS. Rev. Kidd, pastor of the A. M. E. church, returned home Sunday night with his wife and baby. He is quite a proud father. Richard Payne and wife were made happy with a bouncing big boy last Friday night. James Holt, receiving a hasty message from his brother, left on Thursday morning, Jan. 31. Rev. Rae, former pastor of M. E. church, is visiting his children in this city. Isaiah Everett, who was cut and in the hospital, was happily converted at his home last Wednesday morning. Mrs. Rector and family moved from Coffeyville to this city on last Sunday. Mrs. Millie Knox, the mother of Jordan Knox, came up from Coffeyville last Saturday morning, making her home with her son, on Maple street. John Jones, a resident of this city, has moved his family to Clarkville, I. T. Mrs William Harvell, of this city, while visiting her mother, in Chetopa, lost her oldest child, William, which brought success to all the family and his playmates. The protracted meeting proceeding in this city is proving a success a few would have been happily converted, and many are mourning Rev I. T. Newly preached in the city Thursday. Is the Treatment Accorded Him at the Hand of the White Man Such as Would Make Him Feel Lfke Taking up Arms for America? We would like for some one to answer this question for us: "What will be the duty of the American Negro should war intervene between the United States and some foreign nation?" While the Negro is considered an American citizen, to all intents and purposes, he is not. What is the American white man doing to educate the Negro along military lines so that he will be able to assist in conquering a foreign foe? In every state in this Union there is an organized state militia for the purpose of protecting the rights of states and also to aid in putting down rebellions in case of war between this nation and foreign countries. The president of the United States can call on the state militia to assist in the fight, but there are no Negro militia-men in the several states save in Illinois. A law has been enacted whereby no Negro can become an officer. Officers are chosen from the state militia, and as there are no colored men in the militia, the officers will necessarily be white. We would advise our white American brother to see to it that a little more encouragement is given the Negro in military training. There should be colored militiamen in every state where there are colored people, and in states like Mississippi and Louisiana, South Carolina and Georgia, there should be from two to five companies. It is high time that the American white man is aroused to a sense of his duty. Instead of trying to degrade the Ne It is not often that a body of men representing widely divergent opinions and hailing from different sections of a large commonwealth assemble together in perfect harmony of thought and action. Such a circumstance is only possible when there exists some controlling force—some common purpose, which will serve is in its own around which all elements can involve in perfect union. Not is at possible for any ordinary personality or sectional interest to affect a humonious blending of elements representing an entire race or nation. When the possessor and the optimist, the radical and the conservative are all drawn together on common ground, we may safely assume that the magnificent possessor no little power of attraction. The assemblage of Negroes which not at 011 fellows' Hall, Wednesday, Jan. 30th, was representative of the last element of the race from all sections, gathered together for the purpose of showing their appreciation and admiration for Hon W. W. Vernon, Registrar on the Treasury. The long put hold in his honor will certainly press into history as one of all not the most memorable of the kind ever held in the city of Washington, not only to the colored people of the district but to those throughout the nation. There is no little doubt that the attitude of the people must make more of the experience on his own life than people in other cities. gro and abuse him and cheat him out of his hard earnings and his right to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, and dogging his hoels at every step he makes, he should assist and encourage him in every way to better his condition as a citizen. The American white man cannot expect much sympathy from the Negro race if war should intervene at this time, from the fact that Negroes are not allowed a state militia. They are not encouraged, therefore will have to remain neutral and let the white man do the fighting. The lamented Abraham Lincoln gave wholesome advice to the white soldier when he said that the Negro was willing to fight for the preservation of the Union as well as for his own freedom and the protection of the Northern white man, and that as longe as the Negro was kept in slavery, building up a bulwarks for the Southern whites, the Northern army fought at a disadvantage, but as soon as the Negro was given freedom with a gun in his hand, the change in favor of the Northern army was noticed The American white man need not think it at because of his tense nativity and his standing away of state militia that he will forever be able to stand against contending foes without annihilation and the loss of millions of dollars. The time is coming when the United States will have to go to war with other nations, there is no doubt of it, as the American white man is now at fever heat and continually wanting to fight. He is carrying a chip on his shoulder, waiting for some foreign foe to knock it off, and in order to be ready to back up that little chip, he had better give the Negro his rights so as to win his sympathy. ple of this section of the country. When it is considered that he is now only thirty-five years of age, it is not surprising that older heals doubted his ability to "make good" in his new role. And why not? It was the first instance of the elevation of a youthful member of his race to the highest and best Federal office given to a Negro. All doubts now, as to the wisdom of the President's selection, have been dispelled, for Mr. Vernon has made good both officially and personally. A man of dignity and magnetic personality, his dominant attitude toward his followers is refreshing to the Washington social and political atmosphere he possesses great perseverance and an independent spirit of thought and action. He is a man possessing a high degree of ability and an abundance of good common sense. Viewing the man from all angles, he bears the marks of a man of destiny. The demonstrated capacity of Mr. Vernon to should be the political responsiblity which confront him, should be a source of great pleasure to those throughout the country who supported him, and all the rice should respond to the sentiment expressed by these representatives of the rice who delight in doing honor to the man who grows in favor daily as man know him better The only ship in which we can safely and has well been described in one of the spaches of the evening, "The ship of Race Unity." The lamps were called to order by Dr. D. W. Lampton, from civil secretary of the A.M.L. church, who is chairman of the Executive Committee with the guest and visitors. The good used by Dr. Lampton is his turn in that it was made from the timber from the tree on the base in Christmastime and John P. P. made a tangent boll on the latter tree. ration and enthusiasm in making this testimonial a success, Dr. Lampton introduced W. L. Houston, Grand Master United Order of Old Fellows, who was toastmaster, who then took charge of the program. Prior to this Dr. Lampton made his address, which was the opening of the forename battle that will long be remembered by those present. Among many very interesting statements, the Doctor assured all that "they were honoring themselves in honoring such a distinguished citizen and friend as Registrar Vernor. As long as my right hand retains its cunning, and my tongue gives utterance to speech, the noble impulses of our nature's gratitude will ever be the keystone of my affections for you." The first response to a toast came from that brilliant young Ohlan, Dr. W. L. Board, who has few peers as an orator. His subject was very vague—just a single word, "Wanted." This gave Dr. Board very wide range, for there are no ends of wants. His effort was an intellectual and oratorical treat. Among other things, the speaker pointed out "that there was not a single essential element of civilization of which we are a port that should be foreign to us, or that we can afford to neglect in our progress. Lacking the elements which savor of injustice or vice, the Negro should assimilate every increment of advancement, cultural as well as utilitarian." Capt. John L. Waller of New York, ex-consul to Madagascar, and a captain in the 23d Kansas regiment, came ever for the special purpose of participating in the banquet. He dwelt upon the sentiment—"citizen and Soldier," Capt. Waller's experience in public life and in the Spanish-American war has especially fitted him for this subject. He paid a splendid tribute to the Negro as a soldier, and gave some timely and interesting suggestions as to the value of good citizenship. "Colonial Expansion," was aptly assigned to the Hon. Richard F. Greener of New York, ex Consul to Vladivostok, Russia. For more than eight years Mr. Greener was in the close personal and official touch with the whole Eastern situation, and he very interestingly brought out what he considered would be the ultimate effect upon the status of the colony people in this country. The response by Hon. E. M. Hewlett to the toast, "Our Political duty," received very great attention by those present. Judge Hewlett very obliquely and almost pointed out some of our main duties. One had but to listen to the Judge a moment to realize that his utterances were the utterances of a manly man. Prot. L. H. Moore, Dean of the Teachers' College at Howard University, in a very instructive and scholarly manner discussed "Educational Ideals." He pointed out the height which should be attained in order to realize our ideals in the educational fields. Only high ideals inspire noble efforts; only lofty purposes bring out the best in man; only culture and mental fiber can be transmitted to future generations. "Out of the past each civilization has left us only its best and highest accomplishments." Judge Robert H Terrell, in an able judicial way in his response to the toast, "Rise Unity," made it quite clear that in the words of Longfellow— At your request I will provide a brief overview of the eight to ten Essentials on Progression, was responded to by A M Curth, Mr Curtis handled his subject neatly and with due regard to the necessities of this age. "The Church Its Responsibilities was discussed with Brooke Boulden, Graham and deep philosophy by Rev Walter H Brooks, who showed a heart attuned to every moral impulse and one quickened to every human need of his people. A mind of virtual experience or rugged discipline and of long years spent in the service of the military, was called upon to point the way to discipline the Negro youth, this Major Right N. Morton gave in his characteristic fashion. The next on the program was Hon John C. Duncy, Recorder of Docks for the District of Columbia, who responded to the beat, "Our Guest" Mr. Duncy is an mentor of well known ability, and he introduced the guest of the evening with firmly appropriate words. When Hon. W. W. Vernon rose to be and the audience stood on notice and chanted for several minutes. His open ing remarks showed that he was deeply touched by this testimonial given in his behalf by the citizens of Washington and the citizens of the state upon him known to be a person of his own of the nation. Mr. Vernon was then of our length. Mr. Vernon NUMBER 0. WARNING TO THE NEW STATE! Black Laws Will Not Be Tolerated—Rebels Who Want it Might as Well go Home. Timely advice and warning to the Southern wing of democracy in the new state of Oklahoma now in session at Guthrie:—As you have been in session 60 days and have not accomplished anything for the good of the people for whom you were sent there to legislate, you had better return to your homes, in Texas, Mississippi or Arkansas, where you justly belong. The Oklahoma and Indian Territory was set apart for the Indians, the Negroes and that class of people who were looking for homes where they would be free from such devils as you who are trying to make bad laws to create animosity and strife for them the balance of their natural days. The Indian Territory was set aside by treaty. The Indians held slaves and under treaty the land was divided out among the Indians and the freedmen. For years and years they roamed at will and enjoyed the free and unlimited acres of soil unmolested by the white man. The United States government was all they had to contend with and it was from a fair and impartial standpoint. You came into the territory by your own solicitation and uninvited by the natives; since then you have intermarried with the Indians and are now trying to rob them as well as the freedmen of their land, and those whom you cannot rob you are legislating in a way that will cause them to lose what rightfully belongs to them. It seems that all Southern Democrats know is to enact laws to humiliate and injure the progress of the Negro. No highly cultured, Northern Democrat who respects the rights of all mankind shares in the outrageous, obnoxious and damnable laws which you are trying perpetrate upon the people of the new state. You have proven your unworthiness to represent the people by being unable up to this time to frame a constitution which will be beneficial to all of its citizens. You have applied to the president for his assistance. We think it would be wise should the president ignore your wishes, send you back to your homes, and select some intelligent men, both white and colored, to go to Guthrie and frame a constitution under which everybody can live. The Democrat can make whiskey, fire games, corrupt and demoralize communities and rob Negroes, but they cannot put into execution that which will make all men free and equal under the law and feel at home at the same time. This is a note of warning: These Negroes who went from the western and southern states when the territory was first opened, and who have almost suffered death to hold their land will not stand any obnoxious laws, nor will the freedmen who have settled in the territory with the Indians submit to such laws. If it takes shotguns and matches to settle it, they are going to be clothed in then God given rights. So you Demonstrated better name a law under which everybody can live and where peace and happiness will have reared away. ST. JOE. MO.

N ORDI R has gone forth from the chard of polc in an enterprising Western town to shoot street firecrackers and mashers who annoy women on the street and attempt to clude officers. This, having no relation to the monkey house, may be taken seriously. To enforce it by a fine challenge to the marksmanship of his men is the admit pledge of anarchy in the part of the chief. Two bullets from his own revolver failed to hit a living culprit, but he hopes his man "will be latter marked." Perhaps they will, but as a rule the mark is not one that other than the "massacre" victim commonly estimates at its full worth. The chief recognizes this when he says, "These men are incipient home, burglars, a mence to the whole community, but our laws do not permit judges to impose punishment sufficient to stop their offenses, hence a bullet in one or two of the busters will help the rest to understand the seriousness of their crimes. The logi of such a position is a wide one, a significant one, too, in the agitation towing "the unwritten law," which recent events in various quarters has created. It moves a natural wonder us to how much more private shooting, lynching and other demoralizing efforts at justice and awakening of bouts to the nature of their offenses will have to go on before the unwritten law becomes the written one, and laws offer some real and not century off medication of the rights of human beings, male or female and some reasonable protection against the lustest crimes that can afflict society. When Virginia plunged a dagger to the heart of the for and beloved Virginia to save her from just such human friends as exist today, even pigeon home was stirred with indignation against the tyrant thouars. But when now the sense of justice in human breasts recognizes the demand for vengeance against those who with more than a tyrant's arts option and betray their victims, and fling innocent and guilty alike into the pit, their vice has opened, not are actually found to call it "a malicious sentiment" but nuttally, however, they are now growing to wait. Vindication Deducted Women. The great soul of the world is just, and begins to discover that any law of self-defence against a person who would destroy the body must hold doubly good against the wily villain who countily and insidiously strikes at the public honour of the soul. It is the fashion of tooby to demand one code of law and judgment for men and women alike and in the man, it is well. But Alexander Dumis is now where to draw the line when he said, "Woman can never fall so low as man because love has always and sometimes to do with her fall." What trouble, something that is all the masters or literature have been trying to tell us in all ages. Nor less it is still Margaret who languishes in full, for the sins of lust more than her own and, save with the "Lombard girls" who Rosett tells us, "wear diggers in their belts" and never spares a behavior, the vindication of such wrongs other by the written or unwritten law, still doubted to women. Hence they go on even though cases like pum "Billy Brown's" draw tears from the eyes of grave lawyers and judges, and move the court itself to recognize that in her son the victim was "pun" and her destroyer "a rat" by comparison in the same of being set of the "rat" but not suck but trusting at him in the death waters when vindication was all the courts have allowed her to the greater wrong of her by the death who took advantage of the strength and unquestioning confidence of a sinner love. What, now over, are they moved to do for the unmarried our lives this winter on a small world in the case of a litter who returns to give them the protection of our mine or our bus stop to a district mother, caught in the tool of such a digging and wring, closing the celluloid paperation of it about the kind uncommonly pleasing with him to install his plaques and save for them, what to move our long that would never be called a sentiment in the minds of our people, is not some legal provision for most such a case and holding a recent order to some one of discovery and duty to keep box off spring whiteness be one of his own unwritten instructions. the tragedy that calls the attention of a nation to the need of better legislation where better man are still lacking in any corner of the land may, after all be in the interest of the eternal mills of the gods that grind slowly but eventually tire. It may be all very well to the intangible and sacred "woman" and of the soful wrong of omnipotence there can be no question. the noblest and the purest, like in truth, condemn it but are moral only to touch and to what kind of arts and capacities of the putt black white and clothes in the hearts of the troops to curb the vultures probably mount outside them in ever better, though many have tribed at it once among in the same could imply to do them demand that their amount of children should not be drawn and deserted and those diseased and unharmed upon a cruel world.

When she finds him holding the Damocles blade of man over their guiltless souls, whatever her own responsibility, should she placidly leave him to the deadly work? No doubt the "Awakening of a Helena Rieue" will eventually point the true line of escape from all this wretched business but while women as high manned and told as she can become on tended in it, some for dealing with the igoble lions, who deceive and fail them, a would be devised in some quarter. The gallant count of police who propose to stab the business with the street murderous, significantly, these men are guilty more than any person who have no doubt means of defending the matter. The connois of defense is first to lost against this whole line of offenses, the best in human history, so well laid quote or totally looking. The proprietors of them take upon the pride and sensitiveness of their victims to keep them under cover down to the last stages of their distantly work, and the 'Jambalal gals with diggers in their belts' are really the proper ones to deal with them.

'Crimes sometimes shock, not in views almost always to little.' says August Hare. Murder is a great crime, and a recognition of the certain of human life the safeguard of our society. Yet the time may come when, in the thickness of the view that in many cases lead up to it, murder will be seen to show almost white in comparison. Death is by no means the worst thing that can come to the human being, and the man who brings a specter of the homer into a woman's life is worse than the man who cuts her throat and in tintely cruder. If murder could ever be justified (which is not saying that it could), it would be for such soul slayers and even then the lines would be sound. Though a great hard has said that "in the course of justice none of us should be satiated" yet it is certain that our chances are better there than in the course of injustice. I obviously substantiated it in human history. Here, as elsewhere, it may be true that "the heart is further than the head," and that with all the scouting at settlement our greatest aim was right when he said "every action is measured by the depths of an infirm moon which it proceeds." Assumably no fan estimate can be made of an action without including the inner depths of feeling and motive from which it springs. With Justice Brown and other lights of law and philosophy, Emerson also maintains that "the motive to the abuses of formal government is in the influence of private character, the growth of the individual" that for some thunderer, Carlyle also sends the individual, "black in the face" and "more strained with delatt into legislation," to act out in his own behalf, "let me have allow room, threat to you, and I will not fail, "same of what he in me, until someone towards the conduct of the planet, instead of hanging me, you must and you must help me."

"There was one in our school where it was a boy. He was Tummin I am for and he was a mighty smart little fellow, but he never had his lessons. He knew where every bird nested, where the May flowers grew the thistle and where the high top sweetlings fell first; but, bless you, he couldn't tell for his lessons. He was critical in many matters too. He knew all that was passing in the politics of the state and nation, but he was off in his history lesson.

This code, with som minor changes, continued in force up (il the beginning of the nineteenth cen tury. A eystem of such antiquity nat wrally had to be reckoned with by th @rafters of the new code, though the! task was somewhat almplided by th fact that the oli laws bed never beat poblished. They bad been made fo the edification of the judges and other ediciala, ‘The decree promulgating the pew preliminary code after the restoratios ef the emperor In 1868 followed this tradition in addressing itself to the of facials of the empire. When the seo end code was proclaimed, however, is 1878, the emperor's subjects, as well a1 Ale officials, were commanded to obey , and it wae declared that “hence forth every law upon its promalgation shall be posted in conspicuoub places for the Information of the people,” making It evident to the Japanese that thelr government wes to be from that time one of laws and not of men. ‘The legal condition of women was ome of the most complicated problems which confronted the cerisionists. Both Buddhism and feudaliam hed Japanese women kept in a state of Ge- pendency. The Chinese doctrine ef the three obediences was strictly en forced under the old law—in childhood @ female was subject to her father, ts eum to ber husband, after ber bus Dand's death to ber sous, A woman had po legal rights which her husband ev wons were bound to respect. In dealing with this question the drafters of the new code made a clean Sweep of tradition and established te Gel rights for women similar to these ef the most advanced European as- fons. Uniess otherwise stated im the marriage contract, the property of « woman at the time of ber marriage Bow remains bere, She may alse ao quire property after marriage and held it a her own name, Thare ts po éls- tinstion between the legal rights ef an unmarried woman and a male cith een. A woman now has the same rights as a man in the matter of G3 vorce. Yn the matntenance of the “house” a survival of the old clan system, the Bew code bas been lesa radical The unit of state in Japan is still the fam- fy rather than the individual bot the powers of the head of the house mew are practically Umited to certain rights ponnected with ancestor worship and pontro] over the marriage of suberdt pate members. 4ny member of the bouse may own property and om bis feath leave it to his beire, where ter merly tt reverted to the head of the plan. It is believed that in time the “bouse” will be disintegrated and will join the rest of the mediaeval customs Japan in the limbo of the past. A ¥rench authority on Buropeas at: faire, M.

The M dwarf Commencement The graduating exercises of the January class of the Topeka High school were held at the auditorium February 1st. Prof. Wm L. Burdick, instructor of law in the Kansas University, delivered the address to the graduates, which was impressive and well received. His subject, "Makin' Good," was timely and his remarks to the point. Among other things he said that to make good was not to be as assumed of honest labor; that the education of students was not completed at graduation, it's was only the commencement; and that if they so lived that the world would be better for their having lived in it, they had made good and accomplished what they were put here for. To have an aim in life and to successfully reach that aim, whether it be blacksmith or president of the United States was to "make good." The colored graduates were Mrs Jessie Gintt, Miss Eva Hardy Miss Inz Link and Miss Cornel Bucker. It is a noticeable fact that there was not a single young colored man in this class, and that but one will graduate with the June class of 07. Much commendation is due to Whitmore for his mount and interest in the class. We are under many obligations to President W. H. Duncan of Colorado Springs, Colo., for a large group photo of the Negro Press association which we received last week The sewing circle was the honored guest of Mrs. Henry Wilson of Jackson street last Wednesday.

The circle unites in a chorus of praise and thanks The Willing Workers held an enthusiastic business meeting at the residence of Mrs. L H. Slaughter, the president on Monday evening.

Dear Sir—Having just returned from a short trip through the South, please allow me a short space in your paper to speak to the public of my short tour through the South or some parts of it. I left Worc the 10th of June for Payette, Mt. I lectured and proached around in two or three counties for two weeks our people own some good towns in that part of Albany, but they are very much oppressed by the white people. The white people are white—capturing, shooting, killing and beating them when they get ready. Neal Glon Alon they are making the road bad water. They then killed my man while I was in the city and they were thrown in the bill, and there were five or six lying in camp better in unity to death. If you owe a white man and are unable to pay him, they have a arrestee law which says that "you must be shot." I know of two men that were shot while I was there. I went from Payette to Bessmer. No, The Negroes own and control ten saloons in this town. There are three Negro doctors, two of less undertaking establishments, two ding stones, dry goods and grocery stores and a number of restaurants. But here the Negroes are killing one another very neat every night. The white people are killing them also I visited Birmingham and all the adjacent towns, and I found that our people are being pressed to the wall. The white people have got the South and the white man have made their control very near all of our best-looking women both the married and single. Yet the Burningham News, Nov. 15th says that the Negro must be taught the imminent virtues that he has forgotten before he can respond to higher education. It must be made to do away. He must be compelled to restrain himself. He must respect and to the law and he must be made to understand that if he so much as think wrongly, on a white woman he will deserve death. And at the slightest in disposition of an intent to commit wrong he must die. But get the white men must have that way with our wives and daughters. The Negro man has no law and no way to protect his family only by having down his life for them. This is a great need of white muslims in the South most especially among the white men to teach them the first stop on an entire morality and social routine.

Well, the white man of Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee and South Carolina ought to be taught not to be down with cows for under the mosaic law they must die. Now the black cows, as Mr. Tillman calls them, are filling up the South with white calves. Now common sense and common law would say that these white calves must be tithered by a white male. Mr. Tillman, Vardaman and Dixon must not be deceived. For God is not mocked. For what so ever a man sows, the same shall he reap. I left Bessmer for Atlanta, and Buford, Ga, but did not tarry long at either place. Left there for Anderson, Greenville, Abbyville and Greenwood, S.C. I was in the above named counties for three months. The Negroes are doing fairly well here in some settlements. Owning land in the South by the Negro does not amount to anything. Now if an Abah wants your home or your plantation, there is a Jesseil will see that Abah shall have just what he wants except religion. There was one Negro in Lawrence county that owned an excellent farm and he was a good neighbor and loyal citizen to his country. But a white man wanted his farm, and he was not minded to leave at once. A good in was drawn and a rope was tied on his door, and he left his home. A white man told him to go back, and he would have protection. He returned home and was killed in his bed. His two daughts were stripped of their saintment and whipped near to death and were ordered to have and never return. These poor girls are deprived of their father's property. This is not all in Alabama and Georgia as well as South Carolina, they are treating the Negroes like this. I was in Anderson during the September term of court and there were 18 cases of murder on the dock and 15 of them were Negroes killing Negroes. It was proven beyond a doubt they were guilty of murder in the first degree. But the man who swore with uplifted hand to tool, and said "The dead Negroes are gone and we need hands too bad. And if we hang these 15 Negroes, we will lost 15 hands. So they said, as Mr. Billman said, damn the law." Let us take these men slant or slant and let some white man come and pay their fine and take the Negroes home and give them 64 or 64 months and let him work his time out. They are giving the Negroes a house to murder. But if he kills a white man, no thinks about a white woman, he will pay the time at the end of a rope or his body he killed with lead, or board at the stake. I want to say that the newspapers of the South do not give and can not give the bad treatment that the Negro moves. It they would print it all there would not be room for other news. The white people want the Negro to a servant or tool or beast of burden and when they cannot use the Negro as they want they had rather kill him than see him have the South. Now I have outlined to the public some of the scenes I saw in my travels. But the hall has not yet been told. When you read Mr. Billman's speech and hear him as how they treat the Negro in the South, he is telling you the truth only it is worse than he has stood to the public. Now my advice to the Negro is to him to draw up to God and God will draw up to us. Let us protect our women and our homes and see to it that our enemies are treated as the Lord his commanded us to do. Let us as Negroes do our part to God and to each other. Let us treat our fellow man as we would have him to it us. Let us have to make others happy. Let us but up our neighbor. Let us treat all men right, and let God do the avenging. They shall reap just what they sow. B. P. BERRY, The Evangelist. Wear, Kansas.

Last Friday evening the young men entertained the faculty and young ladies of Western University in Ward Hall. The decorations for the occasion were very artistic and beautiful. President French announced in ohapal last Monday that Dr. Wm. T. Vernon would visit the school next week, and spend several days in the state of Kansas. He made a great speech and was tendered a great ovation by the large Negro population of Chicago, this week. The Forum was addressed Sunday Feb. 10, by Miss Ann Jones, a teacher of Lincoln High School, Kansas City, Mo. Her description of her trip on the ocean and i the countries of Europe was so vivid and thrilling that for more than an hour she held the audience at a hungry, spell-bound attention. Among the most interesting and deeply enjoyable of her experiences told was when she and fourteen other traveling colored American ladies were made the specially invited guests of the famous Negro composer, S. Coleridge Taylor, and were given conspicuous seats on the stage of the great Alexandria Concert Hall of the royalty and nobility of London. At this Concert his popular composition, "Hawatha," was sung by a Choral Society of a thousand voices accompanied by the Royal Orchestra of King Edward VII, of England, and over 25,000 people, tourists and nobility crowded the structure. Great was the applause when the great Negro musician entered to begin the program, accompanied as he was by his colored body guests; and so prolonged and insistent was this demonstration and appreciation of his galutry to the womanhood of his race that the ladies themselves were compelled to rise and bow their acknowledgments. Considering the fact that, Coleridge Parlor's father was a pure African, and mother was a white English woman, also, that his wife is a white English woman, this high regard the mark of respect to visiting Negro women of good character is as surprising as it is commonly commendable. He Canceled His Error The man of this story is a very light-shaker, one who is rarely awakened and who is a long time getting to shop. In a labs hotel he had at last got sound asleep, when a loud tap, repeated, awoke him. The boy depended, and after a long time the man was sound asleep again, when there came another resounding knock at the door. "Well, what is it now?" he inquired. "Paint for you, that package."—Pitt Bits --- Andrew Carnegie is famous for the excellent advice that he gives to poor young men.

Hello, Negroes of the States! Are you looking for a business, professional or farming location in this rich Indian Territory? If so, come to Boynton, Creek nation, located on the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad twenty miles west of Muskogee, I. T., in the famous Cane Creek farming delta, the richest and most fertile belt of the Creek nation, and in the heart of the black belt of the five civilized tribes. Ninety-five per cent of the rich farming lands of the Creek country is owned by the colored Creek citizens, every man, woman and child representing 160 acres, and this land can be bought for from $10 to $25 per acre and good titles given. The lands surrounding this rich Athens of the plains produce on an average as follows: corn, 30 bushels; cotton, 1000 pounds on the prairie, and 1500 pounds in the bottoms; oats, 39 bushels, wheat, 30 bushels; Irish potatoe, 63 bushels, sweet potatoe, 27 bushels, per acre; timothy, crover, alfalfa, blue grass, rye, beans, peas and fruit in every variety are grown, and in short almost anything in abundance. It is also a splendid hog, horse and cattle country having mill and short winters. The farming seasons are correspondingly long with uniform rainfall. Burning land can be rented for half and fourth, the same as in the other coal in abundance at $200 per ton [nothing if you dig it yourself] wood can be had for the cutting, and pine and native timber are reasonable. A trading point Boynton is unexcited, only three years old; has Negro lawyers, doctors, undertakers, hardware men, merchants, harness makers, hotel men, bankers, all doing a lucrative business. It is the Mecca of the West. It is located in the famous oiland gas latitude of the Greek nation, [the largest oil field in the world,] with splendid school facilities and churches; a healthful climate congenial, progressive and wide awake citizenship. If you crave and seek those conditions which lend freedom to your spirit of manhood, and remove from before you those obstacles which make you a slave to labor, a victim of poverty, disfranchised sons of perversed civil conditions, come to Boynton, I F.
