The letter was written by Sewan Russell; KANSAS BLACK MAN ASSAULS GOVERNOR Spirited Reply Made my State Senator Russell RACE'S WORST ANEMIES Saya Oklahoma Wants No More of the Insulting Kind of Negroes. Guthrie, Okla., Jan. 2—Nick Chiles, Nearest editor of The Topeka PLAINDEATH, an organ of the Negroes in the West and Southwest recently visited Governor Haskell for the purpose of ascertaining his views on the Negro question and particularly on the Jim Crow question. He returned and wrote an article four columns in length in which he characterized the governor as a native Majesty, and complied with the thesis not considered in the decent literature. Views of the article come from S. S. Campbell in Russell, who is a master of naval warfare and a mission demands. In personal letter addressed to Chiles Senator Russell says If, as you say, you spent half an hour in the office of Governor Haskell it is an evidence that you were tar more poise and respeful at that time that you are after getting back to Kansas. Just such hare brained mulattos as you are the worst enemies (in effect) that the Negro race has, in Oklahma or else where. "That there is a different sentiment prevailing here to that which predominates in the old southern states from Carolina to Louisiana is evidenced by the fact that the "nurse clause" was cut out of the Jim Crow bill before it was passed. The two sentiments can be expressed in a few words. The first is that it is desirable to have a goodly number of Negroes around as servants; the other (the Oklahoma idea) is that the further away the Negro the better Your imphed threat that the Negro might leave Oklahoma if the laws are not made to suit him, has no terrors for Oklahoma. We have some sensible Negroes in Oklahoma and it will be rare indeed where they receive other than kind treatment "The class of restless, discontented impudent, various Negroes that have been flocking to Oklahoma for the last two years never will receive a welcome anywhere until they reach that clue which we learn about in Sunday School. Any action which will tend to check this class of immigration will be heard endorsed by Oklahomaans, regardless of pointes.

CHILES'S REPLY; Dear Senator: We were surprised to read the above article in the Daily Oklahoman of January 3rd, written by you, in which you take exceptions to an article which appeared in our paper in December giving an account of an interview with your chief executive we hardly think it fair Senator, for you to say we were not politic to the governor in Kansas, as we were then in his presence in Oklahoma. We studied him in his official capacity in Guthrie as express our thoughts when we returned to Kansas, it is not always proper for a newspaper man to tell an individual what he thinks of him unless it be through the columns of his paper, so that the world may know. This was especially so in the case of your governor Tay to the PAC SIMILE OF A D You should not accuse us of being a harebrained mulatto, as we have none of your race's hydra blood in our veins. We are direct from the Ham tribe. Speaking of harebrained people, would you not consider the se people harebrained who try to enact laws to separate races, and proclaim to the world that they are better than others because they are white? Harebrained? Would you consider anyone of sound mind or any number class or clan who consider themselves better than the rest of the world because they are rich and others poor? Now Senator, answer this question Have you ever kno wnof a well bred white person behutting the Negro because of their color or previous condition? Have you seen this class driving them from their homes, depriving them of education? Now, dear Senator, please tell us what class of whites it was that kept the r slave women as concubines, and reared mill one of these hairbrain d mula toes, as you call them What class of whites was it that has reared children by their own daughters and then sold them into slavery? What class is it that today is rearing colored and white families? Please tell us in what section of the United States this class of whites lives. In what section of the country do we find the most strin ent laws against Negroes, and who enact them? In short, Senator, is it the better class of whites that is guilty of the crimes which the above questions relate to? Senator tell us if the passing of the Jim Crow laws make the whites better and the Negroes worse, or does it make all better? We believe from the tone of your letter that you have some good blood coursing through your veins, but you have Continued on Page 2 TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 17, 1908.

We are very glad to know that some of our representative men of the race had the nerve to approach the great tyrant christian of Oklahoma in the interest of our people. If the great mass of leading men would rise up and show the other race that they are not satisfied with any kind of treatment, and act at the right place and the right time, perhaps things would not be so burdensome one for a few leading Negroes, and the race would be benefited generally.

The $500 was the claim of Mrs. Mallie Pernell of St. Mary's, Kansas. The prompt payment of this claim, within 48 hours after death speaks in four terms for this great orga- nisation which is doing so much to edu- cate our people along the lines of fraternal insurance. For many of our race carry a small, nearly week ly (weekly) policy in the Metropoli tum insurance company just enough to bury them, not leaving anything for their wifes or families to exat union. The Orient cares for an when you are sick, when an accident occurs a premium paid and a death the amount for which you are insured is paid. And those who are not insured are not paid. The order is extending all over the country and thousands are being benefits therefrom. The order is strictly reliable, honest and prompt, and we are always glad to recommend such a safe institution to our people. May the Knights and Ladies of the Orient continue to prosper! Hon.

A large party was settled by Kansas colored people who today are amateurs, your most progressive intelligent and cultured citizens, and in all respects superior to the class that is trying to him Crow there. We Kansas colored people are not waiting for an invitation from the class you represent. The colored people own millions of acres of land in the new state and they can invite whom they please. Thank God, Oklahoma is as you say not like the old southern states where Negroes do not own any farms of consequence not in proportion to the population, therefore they have to come in contact with the rough element of whites. In Oklahoma we worship under our own vine and fig tree and no man dares interfere. We know your crowd don't invite honest intelligent, progressive colored people because you can't rob them or make selfs of them. You admit this when you say that two sentiments for the Negro prevail in the new state, one that he shall be a servant and the other that he shall be kept as far away from the whites as possible. As to being a servant there is no action, if you pay them and not use them as you did before and after the war ago that the white men would not allow their servants to keep coloured servants or a time before they make a move to em, and it is in common things for two families to reeled by the man As to keeping us as far away as possible, you have our consent We are not particular about where we live, but, Oh, My! who we associate with is our eternal hobby. God knows our race does not want to have anything to do with Jim Crow white people—nothing but the best for us. The further away from that class we are the better. Good people recognize good people. It is not the vicious Negro that is hurting Oklahoma, but the ignorant and rough, uncultured outlaws of poor whites of the South, who flocked to that country for years for crimes committed in their respective states. This class is now in the ascendency in the new state. Ge rid of them and all will be well. As to reading THE PLAINDEALER, we think that if you and your followers would read after us and take our advice, you would know more and do better. Those colored people who read THE PLAINDEALER and themselves much better off. They are getting homes, farms, trades and business of all kinds, and manhood with it. We teach all that is good and wholesome. Senator, read and learn of us, and your yoke will be easy and your hardens light. The sooner the low, mean, Negrohating, vicious whites are sent to that place that burns with fire and brimstone, and where the devil and his angels dwell, the better it will be for the good white man and progressive Negro. Yes, Toddy was right until he went South, and that is where he met his Satanic host, who cautioned him against speaking out on Southern outrages, race riots and burnings. He has since been as a deaf mute. Hoping that when you have read these times you will be able to understand us better, we remain. Yours. Edith or and proprietor of the Torke- KA PLAINDALEER. P. H. Judging from the headlines the editor of The Daily Oklahomaan agrees with Senator Russell: Oklahoma does not want Negroes of the ilk of one who has the nerve to assail the state's chief executive. It you don't want your chief assailed, make him do what is right. Any time he or any other public officer gets off the road that leads right he will hear from us, and if we are not insisted this is the attitude in The Daily Oklahomaan, who assists public officials as well as makes it more outspoken your citizens in newspapers are, the better it will be for it. Negroes are much less a cause and a burden to stand up against. Negroes that are in trouble Negroes that stand for outrage without re-engage no less than paragraphs. Let your Money do the Work!

It is therefore a satisfaction to be able to add one more promising Nevada company to our list of reliable companies. In this connection we refer to the Freeman Mining, Milling and Development Co., incorporated under the laws of Arizona, capital stock $1,500,000, 750,000 shares in the treasury; par value $1, fully paid and non-an eneable. The company owns and is developing the richest property in the Gold Mountain district, Nevada. They have run a tunnel over 100 feet and cut several good veins of rich ore, and will begin shipping soon. "This company has been the subject of par staking investigation on the part of the Western Trade Journal, and fairness impels this statement that the most searching examination convinces us that the company offers the best form of investment in Nevada mining stock within our knowledge. For particulars not made plain by this free and uncollected editorial, address the Freeman Mining Milling and Development Co., Room 1, MoIntyre-Barnett Building, Colorado Springs, Colo. We consider but the interest of the subscribers who may be undecided how to invest in the Nevada silver and gold mines when, without insinuating slight in detraction of other companies, we bestow our undreserved indorsement upon the Freeman Company's proposition. In view of the foregoing, we feel it a duty to advise our readers who desire an interest in one of the best Nevada mining companies to lose no time in incurring some of these shares, which offer the very best security for the least money that ever came under the purview of this paper.

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 an honorable and profitable professional business, coming from so many, coupled with the great difficulty I have experienced in nailing Pharmacists for my own store, has impressed me with the idea that a short, clear and concise course of Pharmacy could and should be placed within the reach of those young men or young women who may desire to pursue such a course.

LAST CHAPEL The revival service conquered growth interest. Rev. M. F. Warfield preached three powerful sermons last week. Several cases have happily converted and one remained Sunday was a day of spiritual feasting. The vast audience was at both services. The pastor used for a morning subject, "Sun and its Effect," and in the evening, "The World's Physician." Five members were added to the church during the day. Next Sunday is quarterly meeting day. The presiding elder will preach at 11 and at night. R.v. W. McDonald will preach at 3 p.m. All are cordially invited. What are you doing to carry out the will of Christ in your life in regard to the other sheep? You remember the words of our Lord when he said, "Other sheep have I which are not of this fold, them also I must bring." The pastor said on last Nabbath that the imperative nature of being souls, the other sheep, to the Lord, has been transmitted to the people of God through the apostle by our Lord Jesus, the Good Shepherd of the sheep. This being true, it is very clear to the mind that is no harmony with the divine will that supreme duty of the Christian life is to find and bring into the Christ the "other sheep."
