Assures Them That Congress Give Them Every Right. LARGEST EMANCIPATION GATHERING IN THE HISTORY OF KANSAS. Senator Long Has Won an Everlasting Place in the Hearts of the Colored People. Historical Society Since 1913 VOLUME IX. Senator Chester SENATOR L 4 Assures Them They Give Them LARGEST EMANCIPA THE HISTORY Senator Long Has Won the Hearts of the In a ringing speech at the largest Emancipation celebration ever held in the state, Senator Chester I. Long told the great crowd that thronged Booker Washington Park at Kansas City Tuesday that Congress had the power, and in due time would see that every man secures the rights guaranteed by the Constitution The crowd cheered lustily all through the speech which has permanently fixed the honest, fair-minded Senator in the hearts of the co'ored people of Kansas. The following is Senator Long's speech in full. It is indeed appropriate that these exercises today should be held in this, the largest city in Kansas. We are celebrating a great event which happened 47 years ago on the 22nd of this month. Abraham Lincoln on that day issued a proclamation that he had considered for many months. When it was done he was criticized most severely by those who thought he did it too soon and by others who thought it was done too late. It was the culmination of a mighty struggle about slavery that extended from the making of the constitution down to that hour. Kansas for a time was the scene of that struggle. Your ancestors were in slavery and were compelled to labor while others had the fault of that labor. You had been in badage for several centuries, a condition which was abhorrent to the moral sense of mankind and which could not continue under a flag that was referred to as floating over the brave and the free. The great men who fought the Revolutionary War and made the constitution realized that at some time in the future slavery must end. It could not be otherwise. To permit a condition that allowed one man to own another simply because of the color of his skin or the position of his ancestors could not be defended from any standpoint. And so it was that when the constitution was made there was a strong sentiment that some restrictions should be placed upon slavery and its extension. On the other hand the states that were protesting by the institution of slavery that had it ground into their very existence, would not consent to any declaration that interfered with it. Finally the making and ratification of the constitution turned almost entirely upon the concessions that were made to slavery. The Declaration of Independence had declared that it was a self-evident truth that all men are created equal; that they are enforced by their Creator with certain unenable rights; that among these are like, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These words were penned by Thomas Jefferson, a slave owner and expressed his belief in the abstract principles of freedom rather than described his actions as a citizen of the new nation. But if the constitution had not provided that three fifths of the slaves should be included in determining representation in Congress, if the slave trade had not been permitted to continue until 1600, and if the provisions for the return of negative slaves had not been included, the constitution could not have been made. If these provisions had not been in it, nine states of the thirteen could not have been induced to consent to its ratification and the Republic on the United States of America would not have been born. these comprimises with other which were made at the time in order to be tabulated a more perfect form were in the following by other comprimises on the same subject. The first great compromise on slavery after the adoption of the constitution was the Missouri Compromise of 1820. By this agreement Missouri was admitted as a slave state but the vast country west and north of the southern boundary of Missouri extended, of which territory Kansas is a part was dedicated to freedom. Under this law slavery was prohibited throughout this great empire and of course in time only free states would be admitted from the great Northwest. Almost from the beginning of the government the admission of a slave state was always followed by the admission of a free state, or the admission of a free state was followed by the admission of a slave state. This was to insure the institution of slavery against interference from Congress, for under it the equilibrium was maintained in the Senate of the United States between the two states and the slave states. They had equal representation in the Senate and no law could be passed which interfered with slavery where it existed. After the Missouri Compromise in 1826 a number of states were admitted into the Union but the equilibrium was carefully maintained. In 1449, however, an event occurred which changed the whole situation. Gold was discovered in California and so many people flocked to that new country that in 1850 California was ready and demanded admission into the Union without having gone through the preliminary stages of preparation as a territory. The compromise of 1850 admitted California as a free state and while certain concessions were made to slavery in that compromise there was no slave state ready to be admitted to follow California. And so it was that after the admission of California the free states had a majority in the Senate, although, unfortunately, some of the Senators from the free states were controlled by the slave power. The national administration was friendly to slavery, was in favor of protecting it where it was, but in order to ensure its protection it was necessary to secure the admission of another slave state at once. The situation was carefully conceived and an effort was made to admit such a state. In the act admitting Texas permission was given that great commonwealth to divide into five states and be represented by ten Senators instead of two. When the test came, however, the people of Texas declined to agree to the division and another slave state could not be obtained there. We have had a recent war over Cuba and that island is now temporarily under the control of a provisional government of the United States. In turn there will be but one result—it will be again under our flag, but with their full consent. Shortly after the admission of California those in control of the government of the United States were willing to pay Spain 100 millions of dollars for Cuba, the purpose being to make a slave state there to offset California and restore the equilibrium in the Senate. Spain would not consider the proposition and the effort failed. Then it was that those in control of affairs decided upon an unusual and hazardous course. Has appealed the Missouri compromise that dedicated the vast territory in the Northwest to freedom and passed the Kansas and Nebraska act that permitted the people of the territory to determine for themselves which of they were for freedom or slavery. It transferred the subject from Congress to Kansas and made it a contest in an immigration Kansas at that time was inhabited by only a few hunters, trail drivers and Indians who occupied some of the highest and most valuable parts of the territory. It became a contest in immigration between the North, that was for freedom and the South, that was TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 27, 1907. for slavery, as to which could send the greater number of people into Kansas this conflict continued for two years and every vote that was taken indicated that the North had won and that Kansas was to be free. Then fraud was employed to win success for slavery. The people of Missouri, devoted as they were to the preservation of the institution in their own state, crossed the Kansas border, remained but a day, voted and returned to their homes. They did all they could to faint a slavery on Kansas. But the people of Kansas would not mildly submit to a result brought about by tranf. There was a resort to force. It was used on both sides. Missouri came over to Kansas with their guns and Kansas went over to Missouri similarly equipped. Civil war began along the Missouri Kansas border near where we stand today. It was a mighty conflut that involved the very existence of the Nation, for it was to determine whether Kansas should be free or slave. Four constitutions were made. The Topeka and Leavenworth constitutions were for freedom. The Lecompton constitution was for slavery and was only submitted to the people to determine whether they favored it with or without slavery. They could not reject it. The people of Kansas had become aware of voting when stand alone would win, and comparatively few votes were cast on the proposition. This constitution was transmitted by President Buchanan to Congress with a message which declared that Kansas was as much a slave state as Georgia in South Carolina. The contest in Kansas, however, had attracted the attention of the whole Nation and the effort to admit the state under the Locomption constitution failed in Congress. That the state was not admitted was largely due to the indignation which swept all over the country and which finally impelled Stephen A. Douglas to part company with President Huckabee on the proposition to admit Kansas under that constitution. The whole power of the national administration was used to force Congress to admit Kansas under the Locomption constitution. Douglas opposed it, but could not defeat it in the Senate. Only two members of his party finally voted with him in the House, however, he had enough influence to defeat the bill. It could not pass. It finally was amended so as to require a vote by the people at Kansas and as there was a fair, free vote that time the Locomption constitution was overwhelmingly defeated. This contest over the admission of a state had assumed a national importance. The struggles along the Kansas border were but the beginning of the mighty contest for the preservation of the Union. If the struggle had not some the conscience of the Nation might not have been quickened and slavery might have continued. The contest over Kansas divided the party to which Stephen A. Douglas and President Buchanan both belonged, resulting in two nominations by that party in the next presidential election. The result of that division was the election of Abraham Lincoln, the first Emancipator, whom the American people, without regard to race or color, will consider as second only to Washington in our national history. He had taken a deep interest in the Kansas content, had declared repeatedly that he hoped that all men might be free, and he opposed without hesitation or qualification the extension of the institution of slavery. The content here in Kansas precipitated the Great American Conflict and it is gratifying to us, as Kansas to remember that the state was admitted under the fourth or Wyandotte constitution without slavery, but a few days before Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated President of the United States. For a time in the early part of the war it was believed that the Lion could be saved without destroying slavery so mighty was the struggle, so great was the destination of life and property that even Abraham Lincoln, the host friend the colored race ever held, was willing to preserve the Lion without destroying slaves. In August, 1862 in a letter to Honorary Lord Mt. Lincoln said My paramount object in this string is to save the lion, and is not either to save it or to destroy it. If I could save the lion without ing any slaves, I would do it, and it would save it by forcing all the slaves I would do it, and it I could save it by treasing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slaves and the colored race I do because I be use it helps to save the lion. my people, so nothing to my view of official duty, and intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free. These words were used exactly one month before the Immanipation proclamation was issued. Prior to that time on July 22 the first draft of the Immanipation proclamation had been written by President Lincoln's own hand. He submitted it to his cabinet for their suggestions as to amendments, not upon the question as to the policy of issuing the proclamation. None of the cabinet favored it others opposed it. But what they said made no impression on President Lincoln's mind, except the suggestion made by one of them that it was not an opportune time to issue such an important proclamation. One of the members suggested the advantage of wanting for a Union victory rather than having it issued in the midst of Union defeats, for at that time McClollan had failed in his peninsula campaign, the second battle of Bull Run had been tough and ended in disaster, and the proclamation was left away waiting for a Union victory. Finally General Lee finished with his success over McClollan and Pope, crossed the Potomac and entered Maryland. A Union army was hastily assembled and placed under the command of General McClollan, who gave battle to last at Autumn. The battle was fought on the 17th of September 1882 and was conquered by Union victory for two days later but was overtressed the Potomac and returned from Maryland. President Lincoln had the opportunity for which he had been waiting and on the 22nd the Emancipation Proclamation was issued as a military order commanding those in rebellion to lay down their arms by January 1, 1883 and upon their failure to do so all slaves should be free. The South made bold by its successes and encouraged by the opposition which existed in many of the Northern states, declined the prefer made by President Lincoln and on the best of January following, won and your ancestors were declared to be forever free. This was a military measure at the time and was intended by President Lincoln to help save the Union. It until that time the colored people of the South took no part in the struggle except to assist their masters in doing various kinds of labor in the army and in producing food for the army of the South. It was believed by President Lincoln that, as the struggle was in fact was for the freedom of the slave, the slave should be permitted to help himself if he so desired. To show that the expropriation of President Lincoln was realized, that his confidence in the colored people as soldier was not misplaced, it is well to observe that during the first year after the proclamation over fifty thousand colored men were actually bearing arms in the Union army. That the colored man wished to fight for his freedom is shown by the fact that over 108,000 colored men assisted in the war for the preservation of the Union and the destruction of human slavery. It was thought at first that the Negro would not fight. It was learned that his recent transition from barbarian to civilization, and the fact that he had been in slavery for two centuries, had left him so dwarfed as to render him incapable of sustained physical and moral courage so requiente to a soldier, but practical trial on the battlefield required this charge and proved the galantry of the black soldiers on the severed battles of the war. Your role during the mighty struggle for the preservation of the Union and in the Spanish War has demonstrated that it possesses the true qualities of a soldier and that you are able and willing to do your part in any context for your country and its destiny. A military order made von true, but it became necessary that the authority issuing it should finally subdue those in rebellion. The 1800,000 ordained troops and the thousands of white troops under Sheriff, Sherman, and, above all, Grant, finally brought success to the Union cause. When Lee intended to grant at Appomattox, and the rebellion had been crushed you know that the proclamation of Abraham Lincoln had been made good. But before this on January 11, 1865 Congress by the new two-thirds vote in each house had passed the Thirteenth Amendment and submitted it to the legislature of the Union at states the Imprisonment Proclamation was a military measure but the Thirteenth Amendment made it the supreme law of the land. Mr. Lincoln after Congress had passed the ample Continued on Page 4. HORNIDAY WILL BE GOVERNOR! Well-known Fort Scott Business Man Has a Cinch on the Place. During the past six months we have visited nearly every county in the state and have questioned the people closely in how they stand on the gubernatorial proposition, and in every instance we have found them to be for Hon. Grant Horniday, of Fort Scott. He began his campaign early and the people have succeeded in bringing the politicians into line. Mr. Horniday has stepped aside several times for the other fellow, but the people are determined to make him governor this time and they will succeed. Mr. Horniday would conduct the affairs of this state as he does his own private business which has been a magnificent success. There is no other nominations to be made save governor and state printer, the other officers being justly entitled to second terms, hence Mr. Horniday will be nominated by acclamation along with them. It is generally conceded that it is an impossibility to get anyone to enter the race against him for the nomination BACK FROM THE SOUTH EDITOR PLAINDEALER: Having returned from a two week's visit to the scenes of my boyhood back in old Tennessee, naturally, I have a good time to report. I spent a day in St. Louis and also Evansville, Ind., going from there down through Kentucky to my former home in Clarksville, where a number of old friends met me with outstretched hands and hearts filled with that good, old-fashioned hospitality known only to the South. The Negro's opportunities and advantages are far in the rear of we who dwell out here in Kansas, but when seated at one of those good Southern cooked meals, I 'orgot Kansas, her fields of golden grain and equal opportunities for all men. I was a boy again, the joys and sorrows coming back to my memory as vividly as though it was but yesterday that I had left. Mosquitoes are plentiful and the unkept streets, delabiated buildings, etc., show a lack of that push, energy and enterprise that makes the cities and towns in the North not only great, but health resorts as well. Prohibition is enforced to the letter of the law, but I think that if war was waged against the pesky mosquitoes, and better sanitation provided to, the city, the health and happiness of the people would be far more greatly benefited. Tobacco is the chief product and yields handsome profits to the growers. While I was treated royally, I ste red clear of the Jim Crow cars, and did not bother with them only when it was absolutely necessary. It was indeed a pleasing sight to see so many young colored men in the government mail service drawing $75 per month. It was really inspiring, and is a glittering star of hope to younger men who are striving to surmunt the bulwark of prejudice oppression and low wages in these parts. Among the prominent colored men in Clarksville who do things are Mr. John Page with whom I spent a most delightful day. He quit his NUMBER 39. business, took his horse and buggy and took me for a drive over the city. Retiring to his beautiful residence Mrs Page prepared a magnificent dinner, which I highly enjoyed. She is a woman of high attainments and a splendid wife. Mr. Page owns thirty tennent places from which is realized a neat sum in rents. He was aldermn eight years, oil inspector under two administrations and is prominent and highly respected throughout the state I also met Dr. Jefferson, the dentist, Dr. Williams and Dr. Robert T. Burt, late of Harvar University Post Graduate School, Boston, Mass. He has a nice office and a splendid practice, and I want to say right here that Dr. Burt is tr. He carried out to his hospital for a visit. It is a large brick structure located on a beautiful hill overlooking the river in the suberbs of the city. It is an ideal location for such an institution, and the fresh, pure air sweeping over this place is invigorating, health-giving and a blessing to the unfortunates who are compelled to seek such an institution. It is modern throughout and equipped with all the appliances to be found in a first-class hospital. Here we were introduced to the matron, Miss Carter, of New York. It is pleasure meet a lady of her caliber. She is educated, cultured and refined, and her pleasing manner and gentle words have no doubt brought hope and comfort to many sufferers who felt that all was lost. The only thing I regret is the Doctor did not carry me to his hospital again, but be that as it may, Dr. Burt is alright. I spent a pleasant day at the home Mrs. Fanny Young, where I was entertained at dinner Friday. Here I met two of the lady teachers, Mrs. Carry Simpkins and Miss Fanny Hopewell, who made things so very pleasant for me, that it impressed me like Dr. Burt's, and I certainly hated to leave. I hope some time in the near future to Meet Mr. Page, Dr. Burt, Mrs. Simpkins and Miss Hopewell in Topeka. J. W. EDMONDS. KILLS NEGRO WOMAN HE LOVED! KILLS NEGRO WOMAN HE LOVED! Topeka White Man Shoots Sallie Lewis and Fires a Bullit Into His Own Brain. Here is a mystery and tragedy that happened in Topeka Thursday of last week which we would like for Tillman, Vardaman and Dixon to solve. Jack Steinhauff, a white man, shot and killed Sallie Lewis, formerly Moore at her home, 316 East First Street and then turned the gun on on himself, inflicting wounds from which he died Saturday night. The funeral of the woman occurred Sunday at the undertaking rooms of Stone street & Hamilton, and he was held on Monday. A note was found in Steinhauff's pocket supposed to have been written by the woman, in which was an agreement that both should die together. It is reported that he had been keeping company with her a long time notwithstanding the fact that she had a husband working in the Santa Ie yards. With Tillman and his cohorts crying Negro inferiority, we cannot understand why white men are beginning to kill themselves about colored women. If something is not done to check these white men, it will be impossible to tell one race from the other. If old Tillman and his followers will put a stop to white men making love to colored women, they need have no further fear of the races mixing Mrs. Parks Wri'e From Basten.

Braxton: We, the officers and members of St. Mark's A. M. E. church, desire to express the fact that in our quarterly conference meeting a vote was taken and the result showed that we unanimously ask that we have the Rev. W. H. Housley as our pastor this coming conference year, first, because the past year has been very, very peaceful and pleasant one, and second, we feel that we have been greatly benefitted both spiritually and financially by his leadership, and furthermore, we are glad to say that we have reasons to believe that your selecting us a pastor for last year, you did not select one who preaches that saying "Don't do as I do, but do as I say do," but you did choose for us a pastor who preaches the doctrine, "Follow me as I follow Christ," not only by words but by example. Hoping that you both will remember this petition and trusting that we shall not be disappointed in receiving the Rev. W H. Housley as pastor of St. Mark's church next year.

I wish to remind my friends of a few facts about their neglected young men and women. Time is a great monster, who knocks at every individual heart, or tells him or her "Prepare to meet thy God." Our actions are for either good or bad, and they reflect upon others some influence which must shape or moid character. Some of the most vital things pertaining to the young people of our race are frugality, thrift and economy. No race rises to any height without the necessary qualities, which go forth to teach sobriety in the home, nation and community. We do not gather fruit where we have not strewn, and gather men and women when virtue has not been the stuff with which they were sharpened. Thorns and thistles must grow up where land is not worked. Through this life are inroads to destruction which are very broad, and thousands walk together there. The first path for the child is the hearthstone from which he came The second is the schoolroom where he may be taught to think right and just toward his neighbors. The allimportant path is the Christian church, the Father, Son and Holy Ghost are held up. Parents should not allow their children to err while little, because it takes away from them the proper responsibitity. Mother, father, you are responsible for your little children. If you will educate yourichll dren you will help save the race. It makes great men and women to educate them. Mothers, fathers, friends, near me, for the cause of suffering children, who are neglected from time to time. I make my last appeal to this community. Unless you chastise your children, great will be the fall from the cradle to the grave. Remember what Mr, Daniel Webster said: "You may write your name in bronze, marble, rock and upon buildings, but it will be effaced. But if you write them upon the hearts of men and women I will be immortal. Is time, is immortal. Be a hero in the strife. ONLY A PRIVATE. Troop D. Ninth Cavalry, Batanzas, P. I.

Of Col. John C. Hayes, who served with distinction under Gen. Winfield Scott in the Mexican war, an amusing story is told by T. E. Parish in his "Gold Hunters of California." Hayes with his command, had been out scouting. On his return he made no report to Gen. Scott, who sent for him. Gen. Scot was a veritable market in enforcing military discipline. After Hayes was seated in the commander's headquarters, Scott said "Col. Hayes, I have received no report of your expedition against the padre." "I did not think it worth while," said Hayes. "Every officer of the army is required to make a full report of everything to his superior officer. Please make your report verbally." Hayes began by saying that he struck the padre's trail on a certain day, followed it for two days and on the third day, while his command was roasting at noon and taking their steaks, the old padre came down on them. The "boys" gathered themselves together and whipped the Mexicans off, killing quite a number of the padre's command. His own loss was insignificant, one killed and three wounded. "Surprised you, oh!" quarred Scott. "Yes; we were not expecting him." "Where were your sketches?" "Did not have any." "What!" shouted Gen. Scott. "A colonel in the regular army of the United States go into camp in the heart of the enemy's country and never place a picket on guard! What would you do if surprised when arsenic?" "Shoot the first man that waked me up," was the cool recky. Photographs The price at my Studio is cheap, but the work is of the highest class.

Hon. Chester I. Long, the senior senator of Kansas was the orator of the occasion. His speech was a glowing tribute to the great Emancipator and filled those he had benchtied with new hope. Whites as well as blacks highly appreciated the speech and all were materially benefited. As he went back over the history of forty-five years ago, the great throng of people sat as though spell-bound, frequently puncturing his speech with outbursts of enthusiastic applause. We reproduce the speech elsewhere in this paper and hope all will read and profit thereby. The strongest point in the speech is his reference to the amendments to the Constitution, wherein he says that several states have nullified these amendments and Congress has the right to correct same and will do so in due time. This is what the colored men and fair minded whites want to see done as soon as possible. This admission is enough to put the Democratic party to flight, and those of the race who doubted Republican sincerity should forever silence themselves. Senator Long's speech means much for the race, and those who had lost all hope can take on new courage and go ahead and feel that such broad, liberal minded men as Senator Long will so adjust things that every man will be equal before the law and at the ballot box. We have his word, let us hope for the best Senator Long Addresses Four Thousand Colored People. Continual from page 1 ment call "But that proclamation is far short of what the amendment will be when fully commended. A question might be raised whether the proclamation was legally valid. It might be urged, that it only added those that came into our lines, and that it was imperative to those who did not give themselves up, or that it would have no effect upon the children of slaves born hereafter. In fact, it would be urged that it did not meet the civil. But this amendment is a king's cure all for all the cases. It would the whole be thing up." The it was that Abraham Lincoln, our first elected president, was permitted to witness the consumption of the mighty struggle for the freedom of the slave. He lived to see Congress pass the Thirteenth Amendment, which he knew would be rathed by the requisite three fourths of the states. He lived until after Appomattox, which came a few months later. He was not permitted to participate in the struggle incident to reconstruction and in the adoption of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. But he lived long enough to know that slavery had been forever blotted out and that our flag waved over a people who were in fact free. The Fourteenth Amendment which made you free was followed by the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments. These two amendments gave certain political rights and privileges. They also protected discrimination in the states out of our taxation or persons without purpose. Congress has the power to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment by appropriate legislation and the time is not far distant when this must be done. But while the law has done much for you and I hope will do more for you in the future, the fact remains that much of that which is necessary for your continued advancement and progress must be done by yourselves. Education will do much to render ineffective the state laws that have been passed in the time to make a much progress in the better civilization that laws can no longer institute against you. The most grievous thing in your future is the progress in the industrial schools. which such discussion is prudent to usable. The fourteenth and fifteenth Amendments are part of the constitution of the United States the same as the thirteenth. They have been placed there through the method provided in the constitution itself for its amendment and modification. And not withstanding the criticism that has been made in regard to them, I predict that the time will never come when they in the least will be modified or changed by the National Government. They are there to remain as long as the constitution itself endures. And now, in the years that have come and gone since the Thirteenth Amendment was adopted, and since Lincoln did I wish to refer to the progress your race has made. The Anglo Saxon race has had centuries of preparation for the responsibilities of citizenship and government. It has only been twenty-five years since the proclamation and forty-two years since Appomattox made it good. What have you done in that time to instill the hopes, desires and expectations of those who made you free? You have doubled in numbers. You were then largely engaged in actual and principally talked the plantations of your own in the South but few of you were engaged in other occupations. Agriculture is still the primary occupation of our people but it is not until a different circumstance and surroundings. Thirty-five years after Appomattox with people operated some farms upon which they lived these farms were worth a half billion dollars and upon them you were not only supporting your own people but furnishing food and clothing for others dependent upon your laborers. Of the 500,000 farms operated by Negro farmers and only three fourths were rented. The farm owners among you are steadily increasing as time goes on the Negro farmer conducted one eighth of the farms in the United States. Your people comprised about one eighth of the population of the United States and produced about one sixteenth of all the farm products. You cultivated one half of all the cotton farms, one third of all the rice farms, one fifth of all the tobacco and rice. You have wit mossed decided improvement over slavery days although the advancement has not been so great as many of you would desire. The dirt floor in the log house which was the rule in the slave cabins has disappeared and has been replaced by the western floor in the frame house. When the Union comes however many of you must be a new ambition hit the plantation and went to the city. You engaged in other occupations. You now have representations in all the 140 occupations reported by the last congress in living all the professions and every trade and industry. You have shown yourself to engage in and make business to print all over industry with a white man pursuant. You have a Negro business director of the two branches which shows the possessions of your race and that practically one line of business is burned against you who have the energy and determination which are necessary for any man to win success whether the color of his skin is white or black that once proposed exists in an deny but as it is not possible to control change conditions that exist it becomes necessary for you to be your part as best you can understand the limitations as you and them the two has done much for you and you have done much for yourselves. There is much to do. The same reports show however, what can be done all of you by showing what has been done some of you. You have your limitations as much as the people of other races and what you do or at tempt to do must be done with tolerance to those limitations. The most desirable thing for each and all of you to hope to be some good citizens of the population and only honorable members of the community in which you live. In Thirteenth Amendment gave you in order that you now fully and justly enjoy The Fifteenth Amendment nor prohibited any state from denying you the right of suffrage on account of color. Unfortunately, in some states this amendment has been, in a measure, nullified by state laws passed for that taken with your hands and with a untimed With the knowledge that you are ten in these institutions you are better prepared to overcome the obstacles which lie in your pathway. I stand here expressing nothing but hope and confidence in your ultimate success and in your ability to go onward and upward, not backward and downward. A race that is not yet a half century from slackery that has accomplished what it has should not be disheartened or discouraged on account of the difficulties and obstacles which are set to overcome. And now, as a fitting close for these exercises today, let us think of the life and character of Abraham Lincoln. Whatever obligations you may feel toward other public men, however highly you may esteem and regard such men, the fact remains that your greatest allegiance, love and admiration should go to Abraham Lincoln. His heart was ever with you, and throughout his whole life he always expressed the hope and the desire that all men might be free. He had much opposition to his policies while he was encouraging to carry them into execution. The conservatives opposed him because they claimed he was acting too quickly when it issued the unanimous proclamation for that act he was conducted and courted most unanimously by the timid and cautious he that element society which always opposes any new departure and hostilities at the tipping of any advanced step. When he issued the proclamation there were still severe the country who declared that he had charged the issue from one for the preservation of the Union to one for the freedom of the slave, and that public opinion would not sustain the change. On the other hand, throughout his entire administration, he had the opposition of the radical element, who claimed that he was too conservative and cautious. We cannot realize now, with the present estimate of Abraham Lincoln and his career, how there could have been such determined, vicious opposition to him and his measures while he lived. But the fact remains that there was such opposition, vigorous, determined and implacable, and that Lincoln did not at any time sent to satisfy the radicals. Wendell Phillips, in 1804, in a letter to the Cleveland convention, places this estimate on Abraham Lincoln and his administration: The administration, therefore, I regard as a civil and military failure, and its allowed policy rumours to the North in every point of view. Mr Lincoln may wish the end peace and freedom but he is wholly unwilling to use the means which can secure that end. If Mr Lincoln is reinstated I do not expect to see the Union reconstructed in my disless terms more disastrous to liberty than even disunion would be. John A. Preston who was nominated in lieu by the Cleveland convention in a letter to this office of Mr Lincoln in respect to Mr Lincoln I continue to hold exactly the sentiments contained in my letter of acceptance. I consider that his administration has been point well audited and financially a failure and that its successive continuance is a cause of regret for the country. The extent to which this opposition to Mr. Lincoln was carried is shown by the fact that, while the extreme indulgence in gross waste shocked him under not they did not amuse themselves conceived gratification that he was no longer in their way. In a political union held a few hours after his death, one of on a one of policy less conspicuous than that of Mr. Lincoln, the feeling being nearly universal among men at the occasion of Andrew Jackson's presidency would prove a goodend to the country. We know now that instead of being a gentle it was the most unfortunate occasion for what and black that could have happened to the country. While Lincoln had much opposition while he lived his transpiritual reduction and strengthened him with the people and he would have been able to have pursued a course that would have brought peace to good will to the South, and would have availed the wrath of your late master that for want of a more constant subject was visited upon you. Abraham Lincoln during his entire life the opposition of the ultra conservative and the radical, to be a middle course that was unattractive to both. But he had the support and confidence of the great common people of the country who always are ready to support those who do right and favor legislation for the good of all. Re- ..The Topeka..

Let us hope today that the two races in this country may solve the difficult problems which yet confront them, not in prejudice and hate, but as Abraham Lincoln would have us do with malice towards none and charity for all.

He has built up a lucrative practice and has not only grown in wealth but in worldupons "Where is Ned O'Banon?" is a question asked us one day this week Well, Mr O'Banion is residing one step beyond hell—in Texas, where he is doing nicely—making money, and like the genuine Kansan that he is, walks rather than be Jim Crowell on street cars. He has adapted himself to his surroundings, and though his proud blood boils with indignation, he shies at the big six-shooters, gracefully tips his hat if "Mara George" desires, and thinks to himself what he would do to that if he had him on Kansas Avenue in Topeka. Dr. W. W. Caldwell left one day last week for Independence, Kas., where he will locate. Dr. Caldwell was reared and educated in Topeka, being the first person of color ever admitted to the Kansas Medical college, and his wonderful capacity to grasp things, gentlely conduct, etc., has won for him the plumb of the whole city—white and black alike a marry and respect him. He is one of the best educated physicians in the state having graduated with high honor from the State Normal at Emporia before entering the medical college. He has been associated with Dr. O A. Taylor, one of the best and most successful physicians in the West, and he highly recommends Dr. Caldwell to the people of any community. The Pitin-dealer joins his hosts of admiring colored and white friends in wishing him unbounded success.

Pa., where Mr. Solomon will be employed by the Banner Publishing Co., one of the largest and best equipped colored printing establishments in the East. Billy Solomon is known among the printers and shop owners of Topeka as the pressman. In this city of progressive printing where some of the largest shops in the great West are located, he is classed as one of the best platten pressmen in the city. He is also a good printer and rubber stamp maker. For several years Mr. Solomon has been in charge of the pres- room at Trapp's, one of best job printing concerns in the city. It is conducted by white people, but Billy's superior knowledge com- pletely obliterated the color hue. He was a soldier in the Twenty-third Kansas Volunteer Infantry, and after returning from Cuba, he held cases on the Prairie where the foundation of his mechanical education was laid. The Solomons are nice people, active members of Suloh Baptist church, and the best wishes of a host of admiring friends follows them. ST.

A large number was present, and enough was realized to cancel their indentedness. Dainty refreshmen's of all kinds were served in abundance, and were freely partaken of by those whose good fortune it was to be there. It is needless to add that all had a good time, as the Oakland people know how to make things pleasant. This is one of the best Sunday School's in Shawnee county, and under the careful, painstaking guidance of Superintendent I. B. Chiles they are making commendable progress. He is ever looking after the school's interest and takes the lead in all things pertaining to its uplift and advancement. In this work he is ably assisted by Misses Lona M'Neal and Lya Phillipps, who go out from the city every Sunday and Mesham's Holdon and Marinney.

We made our second visit to Wenton, Mo. and found the few colored people there actively engaged in industrial pursuits, saving money and buying homes. C. N. Gillr are among the oldest residents of that town and own a beautiful house Their daughter, is a graduate of Linden College. We met our old friend, Vaughn, past deputy G.M. of Linden, who is doing well. J. W. Rogers, pastor of the A M. E. church and secretary of North Missouri conference, is teacher in the public school and has about 25 pupils. He is ruling stock in that community. Jesse Parker is the only colored man in business in Weston. He conducts a successful restaurant and lunch counter. He is a bachelor of considerable means, and it is reported that he will soon lead to the altar a handsome widow of that town. M. T. Bell, a stone and concrete contractor of that city, owns good property and is doing well. EDWARSVILLE On Friday we visited Edwardsville and found the people in and about there progressing rapidly as usual. J. G. Groves is adding new interest to his business by investing in thoroughbred mules and Norman and Percheron colts. He has bought yearlings and is raising alfalfa to feed them on. He expects to purchase several thousand dollars worth of colts this fall. His son, Charles, is one of the best farmers in the country and we expect soon to see him take charge of his father's farm as a full fledged farmer, as the old man can afford to retire now and let the boys see what they can do for themselves. Robert Groves, his brother, owns 40 acres of the best land in that vicinity, and also has a fine piece of bottom, land worth not less than $100 per acre. He is considered a leader in raising the best cabbage this year. He is said to be able to get the best yield to the acre than any other other person, although his brother raises a greater amount than any other person in the bottom. The kraut factory on J. G.'s. farm, employs 26 people, some of them colored and they turn out tons of kraut per day, and are shipping it all over the country We visited Henry Combs and found him and his devoted wife doing fine. They raise all the inviting things to eat and drink and indeed it is a pleasant place for one to make a visit. George Francis, an expert truck farmer, is still with J. G Groves, and is very valuable to his employer. LONNER SPRINGS. At Bomber Springs we found several colored families who own their homes and are prospering. Most of them are employed in public work. Mrs. C. L. Hodgson is conducting a first class restaurant. She is kind and polite and does everything to make it pleasant for her guests. A M Hickman and wife have bought a good place nortwest of town, and are remodeling it. They raise chickens on a large scale and are making money. This is the old home of W. H Rhodes, traveling agent for the Knights and Ladies of the Orient. He reports the order doing nicely. We were more than dedicated to meet P. Grant an old gentleman 77 years of age, who owns 20 acres of land northwest of town and a fine residence. He raises 40 to 100 head of hogs a year. He hauls swill from town to feed them, also grows alfalfa and corn. He is now changing his breed and breeding in Durcas. What he is doing several young men could be doing as well in other portions of the country. Hog and chicken raising is becoming a very profitable business among our people in this country. If these young men who work as hotel waiters and railway porters would furnish money with which to buy lots and hogs and chickens to raise, they would soon be independent of jobs and would not have to beg corporations for work, as they do not promote them in their positions. Let more of the race do For Ladies IIs J-22 M. B Banks is one of the most successful carpenters and contractors in Bonner Springs. He owns several good residence lots. He has just recently married a young lady of Kansas City and they are enjoying their hone moon. H Taylor and H Mitchell are successful stone contractors and are doing good business. Harry Lee, a teamster, finds all the work he can do in the town. INDEPNDENCE. KAS. Dr. Caldwell, of Topeka, has finally succeeded in getting located in our town. We wish to say to all who may need medical service that they should give the opportunity to Dr. Caldwell Your correspondent is well acquainted with Mrs. Caldwell and can say that she is a lady ny community might be proud of. She is a niece of the late Col. Jas. A. Beck, and a graduate of K. U. Rev. T. W. Kidd preached his farewell sermon Sunday night to a crowded house. The Misses Eastern, from Table Mound, were in town Sunday. Rey Simms, who held this place is a charge, passed through this week, on his way to conference at Parsons. Lena Allen went to Wamego on Sunday, where she will attend school this winter. APPEAL. $2,000. Kansas for Christ. $2,009 Salina, Kansas, Oct. 8-13. DEAR BRETHREN: This notice comes to you calling your attention to the next meeting of the Baptist State Convention, to be held at the above named place. This will be the 16th annual session of the State Convention. We are endeavoring to make this the greatest convention and the most successful session ever held. Our Missionary Pastors must be increased, and with larger salaries. Our Church Edifice fund needs to be reimbursed, and the first payment on the Home for the Aged and Inhumans to be made at this meeting. One thousand dollars alone should be put in State work, supporting Missionary Pastors. Bleeding Afrie and the Home project, both of which are dear to our hearts, are calling for $500 at Salmt. The Educational work is appealing for $100. Will you come to our rescue? At our last State Convention it was voted that each member of churches comprising the convention pay $100 each, and a roll of and members paying be printed in our Annual Dear Piston, will you read this in your church and begin now to collect money? Each Association is plodged to give a certain amount, but that does not interfere with each Baptist church representing directly into the State Convention.

Brother Pastor, what are you and your church going to do about this matter? Will you come prepared to answer to your name? The honor roll will be hung upon the walls of St. John Baptist church and all money that you have paid to the State Board at Quarterly meeting will be printed there. Further, what you do at this meeting will appear in a special place reserved by the corresponding secretary. In summing up the record to note financial work done by your church, beloved, make sure that the harvest fully ripe yields abundance."

Wickham, Kans., Aug. 1, 1907. In the Knights of Pythias of the Grand the Grand Jurisdiction, Greeting We take this number of announcing to you of the very excellent sessions of the fourteenth Annual meeting, which was held in the old historic city of Lawrence, Kansas. This was indeed the most harmless and business meeting we have ever had. A large attendance of representatives and Past Chancellors greeted us. Peace and harmony prevail throughout the entire session. Much important business was transacted. The endowment department shows a neat increase over last year, numerically and uniformly. The important feature of the Grand Lodge was the excellent reports of the Grand Lodge officers and representatives. The Grand Court of Calanthe surprised by far all former sessions. Much has been accomplished through the untiring effort and noble work of Mrs. M. Mathey, the Grand Worthy Counselor. The reports showed the department is in a progressive state. Mrs. Moline Cox, of Wichita, was elected Grand Worthy Counselor. The Uniform Bank department is our West Point. There are five (5) companies in the state viz Imperial No. 1, Galena No. 2, Sunlight No. 4, Sunflower No. 5, Morning Glory No. 6. Their showing was very creditable, although only a limited number of their companies was present Imperial No. 1, Wubsta, and Galena No. 2, Galena, entered the contest for the prize Imperial was awarded the first prize a silk banar and $10 in cash; Galena second prize, $15 in cash. A battalion was organized, Captain T. H. Young, of Galena, was elected Major. Let us again call upon you to take more interest in the Uniform Bank and help to make it a success. New Laws—several new laws have been enacted which will be published and mailed to you in a few days. The Grand Lodge demands that the laws of the beneficiary department be strictly enforced.
