THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. SENATOR LONG NEGROES' FRIEND! He Never Loses an Opportunity to Defend the Race in Every Right Guaranteed by the Constitution. Chester I. Long, Medici Lodge, senior United States senator from Kansas, is entitled to the consideration of every Negro in Kansas, if there were do other reason, or account of the steadfast and successful fight he made against go at odds in Washington for the appointment of Dr. William F. Vernon to be registrar of the United States treasury, the most important political office that any western Negro has ever held. Dr Vernon was appointed registrar of the treasury in 1904. The character of the services rendered by him in the national campaign of 1904, and his conspicuous ability as an educator and useful member of race, led Senator Long and other members of the Kansas delegation, with D. W. Mulvane, national committeeman, to covclude he was a fit man for the position of registrar, held by a Negro always. So the name of Dr. Vernon was presented, and after a fight lasting many weeks the president appointed him. Then came another contest in the senate, when Senator Long met each new situation with skill and argument, and the Quindaro educator was finally confirmed and is now discharging the duties of his office. Senator Long has also been active in other ways to impress the thoughtful Negro. He and Representative Scott secured for Geo. W. Ellis of Lawrence the position of secretary of legation at Monrovia, some years ago, where Mr. Ellis has discharged the duties of his position with fidelity and industry. But perhaps the most service Senator Long has rendered the Negro race was in his thoughtful, serious address at Kansas City, Kan., on Emancipation day, September 24, 1907. This address was historical, but dealt in conclusion with some excellent counsel to the race Senator Long stated it as his belief that "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 notwithstanding 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." The great one which Senator Long gave in the preparation of this excellent address was manifest in the statistics which killed that portion of it touching on the accomplishment of the race since slavery ended. For instance, 35 years after Appomattox, Senator Long states Negroes operated 500,000 farms upon which they lived, and, of this number so operated, one fourth were owned by the Negroes themselves. The race comprised one-eighth of the total population of the country, and produced one-ninth of all farm products Senator Long also give excellent advice in these few words, which every industrious Negro should do well to conglate. "The law has done much for you and you have done much for yourselves. There is much to do. You have your limitations the same as the people of the other races, and what you do or attempt to do must be done with reference to those limitations. The most desirable thing for each and all of you to hope for is to become good citizens of the republic and worthy honorable members of the community in which you live." Chester I. Long is yet comparatively a young man. He is only 17 years of age. He was born in Pennsylvania, went as a child to Missouri where his family removed from district after the close of the war came to Kansas in 1879, took an artemisia course at the old Port Norman school, studied law at Pueblo with Pack, Johnson & McParkl, and located at Medicine Lodge Barber county, in 1885. He was elected to the state senate in 1889, serving until 1893. In 1892 he first was nominated for congress in the Seventh district, being defeated by Jerry Simpson, though greatly reducing the majority. In 1894 Senator Long won over Simpson. In 1896 Simpson won over him, and in 1998 Mr. Long again defeated Simpson in the last of their four famous contests. In 1900 he was again elected to the house of representatives, and again in 1902 and in 1903 was chosen United States senator to succeed William A. Harris, Democrat. In Senator Long's political career, his joint debates with Jerry Simpson in the campaign of 1896 stirred the state and attracted attention from outside of the state as few controversies or contests ever have. His first notable speech in congress was in 1895, when he skillfully handled a contested election case from Kansas City, Mo. Again in 1900 in his second term he made an argument in the Porto Rican tariff bill discussion that was so strong legally and constitutionally that it was closely followed in the decision of the supreme court later in affirming the validity of the law. Again in 1902 when the question of reducing tariff duties on sugar and tobacco from Cuba into the United States was taken up, involving as it did moral and ethical questions, as well as those of political policy, and which dealt with the intricacies of the world's sugar market, supply, demand, etc., Senator Long surprised even his friends by the mastery he displayed of the subject at hand. In the senate, Mr. Loup's participation in the railroad rate content and his speech on that subject, exhaustive as it was, and in favor of such a bill as would effectively permit governmental regulations without being either so extreme as to amount to government operation, or so harsh as to be unconstitutional, and yet not a vapid, weak makeshift, attracted wide attention in congress and throughout the country. Senator Long is a clean man in every respect, of high mind and purpose, studious and intelligent, and capable of achieving results in every contest he enters. Him first term in the senate has been much to entitle him to further honor in this direction from the people of Kansas, and, in such action, he should have the support of the Negroes of the state, whose consistent friend he has been at all times. Welcome Visitors. Hon. W. W. Fisher and his enviable wife of Kansas City, were in Topeka a few hours Monday seeing his many friends. It's the first time we have had the pleasure of gazing upon his genial counterance for several months. Mr. Fisher is financial agent for Western University and has full charge of purchasing all the supplies used at this great institution. It is a state position and one of the biggest shores in the way of "pley to be held" Kansas. No man in the state could better fit the place than Mr. Fisher. He is allured honest and in everyway capable and when you speak or write, friends they include the whole state. He is one of the best and most favored known public men in Kansas. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 27, 1907. COLORED PEOPLE IN THE NEW STATE! A Passing Glimpse of Some of the Men and Women on Whom Gov. Haskell and Skene Want to Fasten Jim Crow Cars. 2 PROF. INMAN F. PAGE, Leading Educator and President of the Langston, Okla, University, the Main Building of Which Institution Was Recently Burned by Incendaries. We visited Oklahoma, the new state, and found our people progressing rapidly o the farms. They have thousands of trees in cotton and corn, herds of cattle, drove of hogs and mules, and farm machinery of all kinds. Hennessey, our first stop, we found a progressive city. All the farmers owned from forty acres to a half section. What is needed in Hennessey and for the surrounding country is lawyers, doctors, bankers and a few more business men. There should be a large mercantile store with a bank connected, and a gin. This would be a good business investment for a man with push and energy. Let a few men who have some capital and business about them go to this town and establish business in the line before mentioned and they will make money. The colored people here have money and could be induced to invest if the proper parties press themselfs. Among the prosperous farmers around Hennessey are Cole, PROF. INMAN F. PAGF, Leeds Langston, Okla., University Institution War Recently Bu Washington, Price Derritt Tutt, Shackleford, Stooke Honey, Hay den and a hundred others. Mrs. Ida Briggs Tutt, one of the leading ladies of the state and a grand matron of the Eastern Star, is doing much to build up the order. She and her husband own 25 sections of land. We met Mr. Ed. Clark, whose home is at Lacey. He lived at Popeka for several years and worked for Steinberg. He owns a big farm and is preparing Mr F. N. Stickle, who is a widower, owns a big farm and would take a good wife if he could find her. This is an opportunity for some good woman who wants to make a good man a wife. Were I to Morgan Lewis, who is a partner of the poor at Lloyd Prof. Baldy and Had one among the leading students in the state and are co-founding a good school at Harnsey. Prof. Mr. Baldy in the proud parent of a fine boy. I own a very fine home. Mr. Walter Goodin is combining a first class geometry store and is doing good business. Mr. Joseph Patterson made some money this year in the cotton business and is contemplating moving to Topk. His daughter is teaching school at Hennessey. Mr. L. S. Price owns a good farm and is young man who grew up in Topk. He went to better territory a few years ago and is now getting rich. We could do with Mr. and Mrs. Hayden, three miles west of Hennessey. Mrs. Hayden is one of the leading linen in the territory. She is a florist and has one of the largest bothouses in the territory. Mr. Hamilton, w'o is also doing well, has 19 bales of cotton on the ground awaiting the rise in the market. At King fisher we found a town where a few colored people are in business and seem to be doing fairly well. They have no physician, but two lawyers. They have a good meat market which seems to be doing a good business. This is the home of Rev. H. F. Henderson, who is state missionary. He would accept a church in Kansas ing Educator and President of the y, the Main Building of Which Burned by Incendiar. and his wife is an accomplished musician who would do much to build up the Baptist church and its cause We were out east of Kingshor, at what is known as King settlement. T. H., J. A., E. L. and W. C. King are all prosperous farmers and own several hundred acres of land. W. C. is a teacher and has a good school which is well attended. He has one of the best attended country schools in the territory. We visited in miles east of Dover and found the farmers all doing well. Among them are Means, Jones, Green, Drake, Smith, Morgan, Makolno, Fisher, Bowman, Mayberry, Cotton, Chico and many others. 1000111101111 G. I. Cromm Grand Master of the Masonic Grand Lodge, in doing good work after parts 2,500 to 3,000 Masons, and consider the money in the W. O fund. Mr. Masonin and will raise consideration for cotton his year and are saving money. P. F. Lusher, who came from Lawrence to where he now lives a few years ago, owns an 80 acre farm well improved and a fine 5 room house in the very latent style. His wife is a great chicken raiser and raises them by the hundred,and welle eggs in accordance. John A Chiles, who was married something over a year ago, contem plates farming on a big scale next year. He has a fine wife and they seem to be rapidly increasing. Land in this section of the country can be purchased reasonably and it is a good cotton growing district; people who wish to grow cotton and buy land cheap should write to parties in this section. Elias Wilson has purchased an other quarter section of land, which makes him half a section. Mr. Mayberry is also prospecting and is making money on his farm; his wife is making sense meat and salting down pork. They are prepared for any future that may come. Dr Bailey, one of the leading physicists of the state, is located 6 or 7 miles east of Dover, and is one of the nineteen friends the colored people have among the whites. He never fails to stand up for justice for all mankind, and does not do what most whites do—take to the hill bushes when rights of the colored people are being defended. He is a prosperous farmer, and if more colored people would do as he is doing, move out into the country district and be of some service to the people, they could prosper and make money as he is doing. CC Jones, who lives at Dover, owns half a section of good farm land and is also making money. El Reno is a town located on the Rock Island railroad and has a small colored population, most of them owning their own homes. James Poney formerly of Popeka, is conducting a successful second hand store of furniture and clothing. Hon E F Barbour, who is one of the leading attorneys of this state, has been located in this place since 1901, and is one of the regents of Langston University. He enjoys a lucrative practice, having a large civil and criminal practice, and is looked upon by the colored people as their Moses. His wife is principal of the school and is one of the best educators to be found anywhere. OTHER NOVELS. We found in Guthrie a large number of progressive colored people, and quite a few of the non progressive young colored men who loaf and loiter upon the street and depend upon women of lewd character to support them. The sooner this latter class is banished from Guthrie, and in fact from every city in the United States, the better it will be for those who are trying to build up cities and towns on a former base. In Logan county are to be found hundreds of progressive farmers and business men as well as professionals; the colored people of tithi me own it our units of dollars of real and personal property and are located in all portions of the city, 50 per cent of the colored owning homes. Dr H N Conrad, who is one of the leading physicists of that town and also of the state, is no doubt one of the greatest and most precise leaders the race ever had and his advice is much sought after, it is always good and wholesome. The following are a view of the men who are taking the lead. Sinclair, Tallman, Conrad, Chadwick, Hiley, Jackson, McCale, Garnett, Perkins and Buchman. These are but few of the men who are trying to do some things, besides there being a deaf farmer adjacent to the town in substantial supporters. Councillor is a full quote of restaurants and chalting joints, a number of colored men should go NUMBER 51 Tooth for a Tooth" Oklahoma Negroes Should Meet White Lynchers With Their Own Tactics--Don't Depend on Haskell. The lynching of a boy at Henrietta, Okla., and herald over the country as being the first Negro lynched in the new state is disproportioned, but the statement that the remainder of them had fled to Muskogee seeking protection is undoubtedly false. The colored people of the Creek nation will not permit the lawless element of white people impose on them. But if the rank and file of the business men constitute this element and joined in telling Negroes to leave, then the best thing to do would be to use dynamite, coal oil and everything for the protection of home and loved ones. It is better that all stand under the canopy of the blue sky without shelter than to have anarchy, race riots, lynching and burning with the winking assistance of the law. Negroes of the new state, prepare for those outrages, as you can't expect much from Haskell and his cohorts. If this class resorts to lawlessness on people on account of color, let those upon whom the outrage is being heaped defend themselves. Meet Greek with Greek should be the motto of the Negroes of the new state. JONES-THOMAS! A beautiful wedding was nolem- ized by Rev. J. E. Edwards at high noon Amas day. The con- tracting parties were Minn Marie M Thomas of this city and Mr. Theo. W. Jones of Chicago at the home of the bride, 501 Buchanan street. A number of friends and acquaintances were present to witness the occasion. The bride was attired in a rich gown of cream satin with a yoke of real lace. She wore a bridal sail caught with a diamond sunburst and carried a boquet of budal roses. She was given away by her brother Mr. Carrol Thomas. The groom wore conventional black, and Mr. Ira Guy acted as best man. They were married in the threshold of the double parlor and Wilson's orchestra played the wedding march. Mr. Jones is a business man of Chicago and has been engaged in the transfer business for 45 years. He expects to engage in business in Topeka some times during the spring or summer of 1905. He is an upright connoisseur gentleman, honest and industrious. The many citizens of Topeka will be glad to welcome him to this city and the many extend congratulations to him and his beautiful and cultured bride. . The bishopmother, Mrs Thomas and sister Bessie of Richmond, Va. were present. ```markdown ``` MONEY FOR SOLDIERS.

Let every colored man who has not accomplished something for the Lord, himself or someone else since his birth, take on new life for 1905 by getting real estate, saving money and opening up enterprises that will furnish employment to the boys and girls of the race. Keep an eye on the class of low blood whites who oppose the progress lynch in pursuits on reasonable. There is no use permitting these outlaws to continue such outrages. It is Negro is arrested, and the others of the law are known to be dishonest, get your shirt gars together, and it an attempt is made at lynching, fire on them from ambush, and the courts will protect you in suppressing lawlessness. On the other hand, it the officers work in the lawless action of this element, destroy the court houses and jails. It is better to have more than to permit men to administer the law who base the guilt or innocence of people on color. IN POLITICS. Herewhere in this issue Mr. John F. Eby announces his candidacy for county superintendent of schools. He was educated at the Kansas State Normal School. Mr. Eby is a man of ability and wide experience in school work. He is a practical school man and has held all the intervening positions from country school teacher to that of principal of city schools.

We visit Langston, which is entirely populated by colored people, and is the seat of the great Langston University under the man rioted by his devoted wife, who takes special care of the lady students. The most unfortunate affair to happen to this institution since its organization was the burning down of its main building which now crowds the institution and works a hardship in teaching classes as it has to be done in one large room. There is not enough young men taking industrial training. Mr Summer George, who was formerly with the Western Tuskegee, is in structurer in carpentry and is making good.

ANNOUNCEMENT Many times in the past I have been asked by young men desiring to learn the profession of Pharmacy, who had not the necessary means nor time to take a collegiate course, if it is possible to learn Pharmacy by working in a drug store. I have replied that under ordinary circumstances it is possible, but a very tedious and up-hill undertaking, especially for a colored man in a white man's store. This expression of a desire to learn in honour and profitable profession at business, coming from so many, coupled with the difficulty I have experienced in finding Pharmacists for my own store, has impressed me with the idea that a short fear and concise course of Pharmacy could and should be placed within the reason of those young men who may be young women who may street pursue such a course. Architectural Drawing and Electrical Engineering THE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE is now offering extended courses in both theory and practice to young Met anxious to secure advanced instruction in Architectural Drawing and Electrical Engineering. Person desiring to take advanced or elementary courses in either of the subjects will find the opportunity to obtain instruction at Tuskegee Institute such as few institutions in the country offer. There is a growing demand for young men who fit themselves, by completing the Architectural Drawing Course, to make plans for houses and who can do the work required in Electrical Engineering. Every effort is being made to make these courses more bearf than ever before. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON, Principal TTSKEGLL INSTITUTL. ALA F. J. Weaver, Mg'r. Mrs. F. J. Weaver, Mg'r.

In 1878 On a large farm near Port St. Louis he grew up to study mathematics and on toured the Port St. Louis Normal College with good health and size general ma- ture and fine natural ability induced to his practical knowledge of an industrial and an amusement to make purposes. His father / A Horton was a successful man of normal judgment and the Hortonian farm power and Along in the counties the owner be- comes county commissioner which pro- tection he did his work and so demean- rated the business and political ability that he the company became county assistant to which office he was pre- selected holding the same from years Hourham recently invoked a longer bounded political tender and manager than 2.4 kilometres and up to the thinness of the line between he was bounded to ten kilometres and commenced in parts affects. After his graduation the subject of this sketch took a position with the First National bank as passenger at a salary of $15 per month. It is with client commuter upon his ability to move the fact that his wife was so rapid that but a few years had passed until he became the bank president which position he will hold. A few years ago the old Drake bank the bank of East North Carolina which had stood for a pension without a quintain was purchased by the First National and with its accession and string of lesser banks in purposeful town. Mr. Morrison is at the head of the highest financial concern in North eastern Kansas. In the mean time he has run the old farm of several hundred acres inhabiting to and above almost handling cattle and other two stock companies the place with all sorts of inexpensive labor saving devices and in various ways enhance the place and value of the old homestead. He has a bank with machines and a bank for in presenting opening titles. At one time he complained that she could be bought at the in his court than at other banks and predeceased to get it from the station would move three miles hand with a pair which the railroad over which he travel through the farm at another bank to play the car stopped on the bridge and then drove his wagon under and filled them from a short time as compiling in one day the work of it. It was a common thing for him to put an early start out to the farm and then have work and back at the bank on a week and then making a few good trips out to road coming in in addition to the travelling and banking routines.

He is the head and front of the progressive busier segment of his city and by fostering those diversified industries and putting in local circulation large sums of money he has justly won a high place in the system and confidence of his fellow townmen. Although he has accumulated a comfortable fortune he is not for his longevity. He now is on every subscription for support of public and charitable institutions and those in distress or need to do so him and know that they will find a living out and a living hand. He is a citizen of the country in church and one of the most conscious supporters both locally and in a missionary way and is a strong friend and personal supporter of the YMCA. He is in the prime of life and what works about 25 years in our work in and with our team and dispatch with our volunteers the most compliments business without getting rattled or in the characteristic goal. not. He never seems to be in a bear with Anna R. Hortley, be an officer,ished woman, sat and a union who would be a sort same in the Executive Manus on as in their home in Port Scott where they with their two sons Walter and Hugh live in an ad of comfort and good chair without display or ostentation. Politically Mr. Hornley has devoted his attention mainly to helping his friends though he has held local city offices and was drafted by Governor Stanley for chairman of the State Board of Charities because an ideal business man was desired for the place. He has been prominent in ever state convention for years and there are few men in public life in the state who are not under obligations to him for assistance and support. Some time ago he suggested a general pennary for the nomination of state officers next year to be arranged for by the State Central Committee and to be a test and object lesson for the people and for the succeeding legislature, by which the cost and practical working of a primary law could be demonstrated and a fair opportunity be given to judge of its actual merits without expense to the taxpayers. This proposition coming from an active candidate for the subnational institution attracted much attention and brought favorable comment from over the state his sincerity being demonstrated by his willingness to take his own chances as to expense and results, should the plan be adopted Grant Horniday is essentially a business man who attends to the most jobs in band and believes in letting the results speak afterward rather than the announcement beforehand. He has no special claim to oratorical gifts but having been invited to speak on many occasions, he is rapidly developing into a speaker who commands attention and gives his heart something worth listening to. In his introduction of Secretary Taft at Convention Hall recently he made a detailed but and in his address on labor day he won the commendation alike of the business and labor men. He is continuously qualified for the place he seeks and in spite Governor he would bring to the office the trained powers and gifts of a visionary self-affordant and successful business man of affairs who has grown up in Kansas and knows how needs and best posibilities. Everybody known on unknown high or low, would receive the same consideration and the same quick quiet decision of a post and go away from the executive office feeling that there is a man who knows how to conduct the business of a state without becoming ill equipped or frightened. He would count counsel and advice from all well wishers of the state and party but without any patroness would be governor and all the differences of opinion and the most valiant expressions the world would not deplore the cautious playups or detract from his intention to follow in the path of sound judgment and discretion. I from a party standpoint it is proper to say that having held a hand in the politics of the state for years and knowing all the grooves and turns all the motions and conditions all the situations and resolutions and knowing the needs of the various state departments and being in hitions so pro motive the barons and inroads of his party and to advance the future and fortune of his state he must of necessity know greatly well how to listen how to plan and how to act. Mr. Hoppund is one of the strong fathers and an knowledge of leisure of brain. With an easy march modesty or a devotion to make it known that he desperate to become governor and post new institution for the high position to secure a place in a house he can defy is south of consideration by certain the tested in the vault of the state and years.
