THE TOPEKA PLAINDEA ER. VOLUME X. J. R. BURROW IS PRESIDENT Ex- y of State Placed at the head of a Great Topeka financial Institution. At annual meeting of the di- rector Central National Bank evening, Hon. J. Rt. Burr inter Secretary of State, was of president, to succeed P. I Bon who had held the posi- tion five years In 1864 a successor for Mr. Bonchie who retires after his long year constant service—a better than Mr. Burrow could not have been made. He came here but two years ago, from Smith Center, and served four years as Secretary of State. It was while serving in that capacity that his clean business methods became known, and the people of the whole state had an abiding faith in his integrity. The bank is one of the best financial institutions in the great West, and is as strong on the rock of Gibralter. The reins have been placed in the hands of one of the cleanest men in the state. His honesty and integrity are above reproach, and under Mr. Burrow's supervision the institution will continue to thrive and grow like a green bay tree. The business world hails with great joy the advent of such men in our financial institutions. It means that the confidence of farmer, merchant and laborer in such a worthy institution as the Central National bank will not be shaken, and the directors are more certainly to the congratulated upon their excellent judgment in making such a wise selection. Mr. Burrow is careful, painstaking and one of the best business men in the state. In every petition of trust he administered the affairs of the people though they were his own. He is, moreover, one of the most successful and experienced bankers in Kansas. He has been engaged in banking work since 1880, and has been no successful that he is now president of five banks in the eastern part of the state, while for years he has also been president of the Smith Center First National bank, which is quoted as one of the model banking institutions of the state. That the Central National and its new president will continue to grow and prosper in the wish of each and all throughout the city and state. THE GENERAL CONFERENCE A. M. E. CHURCH. NOHOLL, VA. --- The Sub Commission having in charge all matters pertaining to the entertainment of the General Conference has just closed an interesting session in St John's church, this city The full committee was present, consisting of Bishops L. J. Copeland, Philadelphia; W. J. Games, Atlanta; B. F. Lee, Wilberforce; Doctors W. S. Lowrey, Pittsburgh; G. D Jimmerson, Hampton; C. W. Nussell, Norfolk; Thomas H. Jackson, Little Rock; E. W. Lampton, Washington D. C; and Mr. J. L. Mitchell, R. I. Bishop Coppe presided and Dr. Jackson was secretary. Reports were received from the various committees having the work in charge, which indicated excellent progress toward the proper entertaining of the General Conference. The committee on House made a specially encouraging report. Over 400 homes have been secured and many others tendered. The Coun mission expressed itself as highly gratified at progress made. Norfolk is getting ready with enthusiasm. It is not a city of apartment houses and flats, but of detached houses and beautiful cottages. There will be no large grouping of delegates, nor crowding into cheap boarding houses, but the delegates will be cared for in the best homes of the city singly, in pairs, and fours. Norfolk has a population by the latest enumeration of quite seventy thousand, of which fully twenty-seven thousand are colored. In addition to the simple facilities furnished in Norfolk Newport News has tendered fifty homes, Hampton fifteen, Borkley thirty, and Portsmouth one hundred. All these are embraced in greater Norfolk The Sub Commission completed its work by the appointment of various committees, including one on Program, the committee consisting of Bishops Coppin, Gaines, Lee, Drs. Reynolds, Jimmerson, Lampton, and J. L. Mitchell; one on Transportation and one on Publication. L. H. RLYNOLDE. PUSHING A COOD THING. A good proposition presented by a good man always succeeds in Topeka. This is the reason that can be assigned for the signal success being made by Mr. A. R. Jackson, organiser of the True Roormers of Richmond, Va. This is the strongest Negro institution in existence, and is doing more to aid and assist the [Name] Negro race than anything that has come under our observation. This institution is the father of Negro banks, and its 28 years of uninterrupted success has placed it in the front rank of the best financial concerns. It is backed by brain, finance and ability. Mr Jackson has already succeeded in getting twenty five of our best people to take hold of the proposition. More should follow. See him and read the literature. Mr. Jackson can be found at 201 Jackson street. ON THE CLANSMAN. To the Editor of the Capital Thomas Dixon is evidently very proud of his theatrical production. In his own opinion he is accomplishing great things. He is influencing the people to think one way. They are realizing more fully how beautiful the negro is. Mr. Dixon is as compulsive this. But whom is he influencing? We will know that the better class of thinking people give the play no thought. It does not contaminate a thoughtful, logical mind. It does not work among the ordinary class of white people among those who walk the same path as the negro in the industrial world. It influences those whose rival in the labor force the negro is. The audience Wednesday night was of this type of whites. A few highly respectable people were there because of the motorliteracy of the play and for study, but its absturdity had no influence over them. They simply looked to the origin of the play. A narrow, degenerate, selfish mind can produce nothing but evil. The mind of the author of this play is just such a mind. The print of a unballed brain will always be lost. It is sometimes the smugging to a nigger who is struggling to make something of himself if he sees such things being used to touch him of war. He struggles on life is tough enough, without any artificial obstacles being placed in the way. We grow up not just social equality. In a college it is a school of both whites and blacks you surely see a regiment of people that want to see the school there are TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JANUARY 31, 1908. always some courteous white students who insist upon his being there, but he seldom gives. Why? Because he is not seeking and does not want it to seem that he is seeking social equality. He realizes that he will not be benefited himself, nor will he benefit others by going. Mr. Dixon makes the desire for such equality the basis of his play. The Lieutenant Governor is not a fair type of the educated negro. Why did not Mr. Dixon present to us a negro of the Fred Douglas type, or the Booker T. Washington type, of the Tanner, Turner or Grant mold? Why? Because he could not attribute such a respectable character to Governor Lynch, nor could he weave into the story such a character and use it for the purpose he desires. Governor Lynch was the only intelligent negro in the play, and he was anguished, unmanly, and, above all, un Christian. The remainder of the negroes were of a lower and more ignorant type than one can find in "Smoky Row" or any other "Red Light" district. They were so many a mass of ignorance, ruled by an unmind. They had been free but a short time, knew nothing, were incapable of doing anything but follow, and we and them in the hands of the schism, unhonorable Governor Lynch. They are not even a fair type of the most ignorant of negroes. As Mr. Dixon has depicted these characters, they are not living beings or creatures, but personified ideas. One never sees on the street, in the drive, or in the prison, a negro so degenerate as those shown in this play. Mr. Daven contemplates taking his company to Europe. It will not create as much ill will there, however, as it would here. He goes to such extremes, and pictures such horrible beings, that people readily see that the play is overdrawn. It will not impregnate Europe with the Southern idea. There are no few negroes in Europe, and those who go there from here are so gentlemanly and upright, that the pictures of the brutes will arouse no commotion, and will be but a floating whim. Mr. Dixon can do us no harm by draw in us as we are. It is by exaggerating our faults and diminishing our virtues and achievements that he detracts sympathy and friendship from us. We need friends, but it is not sympathy that we desire; it is not equality that we seek; it is not social recognition that we clamor for; it is not judicial preference that we contend for; but it is opportunity that we tool and struggle for. We want an opportunity to polish our metal, to develop our reason, to broaden our minds, to open our eyes, and to allow us to grasp the highest and best in education, in religion and in life. NEGLECTED NEGRO CHILDREN. From the Kauai Lau Star. from the Kansas City Star. Social neglect is wayward of romantically inclined negro boys and girls in the most shortsighted policy. But the fact of this neglect exists and demands remedy. There is now only very nearly formatory provision for small negro offenders—too young to be sent to prison—and there is none at all for negro girls of that class. Judge McCum of the Juvenile court recently cited the cast of a colored girl who became known to the police as a thief when about 13 years old. From her first detected depredations to the time she was 10 years old, nothing could be done with her or for her. In that three years she was arrested ten or twelve times for so many offenses. There was no place to keep her for more than a day or two at a time. When she was 16 years old she committed another theft and, having traced the age of amenable to law, was sent to the state penitentiary, where she is now The condition here illustrated is not fair to the negroes and certainly is not fair to society itself. The serious class of young negroes of today is largely the result of neglecting them in their youth. The idle, immoral negro boys and girls of today are the pretty well developed persons of confirmed negro criminals of later times. Prevention is always better than cure. That the conclusions stated are facts and not unsupported theories is proof by the increase of criminality in the black race since it was less, unaltered, to shift for result. The rebellious man and women among the negroes have felt and feel now the pathos of the struggle of the race. The white members of society have been too much included to view only the criminality of the black people. It is time now for their hate societies, for the commonwealth of Missouri and the community of Kansas City, to recognize its own responsibilities and not count the cost in money and mental reaction against any movement to aid the negro boys and girls to contend to the standards of law and decree.

Senator Young has a strong following, and the man who defeats him will have no time to sleep. SENATOR GAITY Senator James F. Petty of the fourth senatorial district, Wyandotte county, is one of the ablest representatives of that body. He is honest in his convictions and is a strong and forceful debater. When he arises from his seat in that graceful and dignified manner, he attracts attention both from the galley and the body, and is often applauded for the manner in which he forces his argument that usually wins points raised by him. He is one of the best lawyers in Kansas, and among his clients are some of the wealthiest men of the country. HON JAMES BRADLEY One of the most prominent business men in Kansas is Hon. James T. Bradley of Sedan, who is national bank examiner. He has lived in Kansas 33 years and is a Missouri by birth. He has been engaged in the banking business nearly all his life and is considered one of the greatest financiers in the West. When the First National Bank of To, eka failed, he was placed in charge, and through his hard and faithful work and honest dealings the bank was able to pay almost dollar for dollar to the depositors, not withstanding the fact that he found the bank in very bad condition, and it looked hopeless to the depositor. He has been receiver of several defunct banks and has always been able to leave the depositors in good shape. Mr. Bradley is a man who is very wealthy, although he started in life without a cent. When he arrived in Sedan he was penniless and knew but one person. He worked himself up from a poor boy, worked on the farm and taught school. He is a graduate of the State Normal, and has held the positions of county superintendent and mayor of Sedan. He has become so prominent that his many friends urge him to become a candidate for governor. They will not cease until he accepts some responsible position in force he gets much older. Kansas needs more men like Mr. Bradley. SENATOR W. J. CONNOR Senator W. J.

CHOOSING A PRESIDENT The coming presidential election means a great deal to the twelve millions of colored people of this country and it is their duty to look well to the future and be prepared to meet the Republican party in assuming the election of a President, as it seems to be the policy of the Democratic party to continue the fall in man and Vardaman lot of oppressing the Negro. We would like to advocate a more independent stand along political lines. If the Democratic party would like to come connoisseur of rumors and some inclination toward voting and raising the Negro, we might feel inclined to lend to them a helping hand; but the Democrats cannot expect any assistance from the colored voters until they show an inclination in their strength, which is in the South, to give to progressive and thrifty Negroes an equal chance to earn a livelihood and any some of the equal protection of the laws in educating their children. There are several cat dislikes before the Republic of the nation who are willing to be their stand- ard bearer and succeed President Roosevelt, any of whom will make a good executive to preside over the nation. We should not ensure or express disapproval of any of the candidates, which would cause dis- taste for us on their part after the election. It is a foregone conclusion that there is going to be a Republi can President and that we will re-ceive some benefit. If there is any party grievance that any one of the race may have against any of the usual dates it should be well founded and backed with logical reason and filled with truths which will convince the average voter that his election will be equal to a Democratic victory. As yet we have not had any and evidence that would tend to show that any of the usual dates are against human rights equal laws for everybody. Let us exercise good judgment and look well to our success, and when the time comes let us join in crying. He said: Let the good man like the office and do right by his low man, without any excuse for infringement. For some family mistake purchase we might make by being led to honey and the doctrine. Let us stand up, be fair and honest and have use the very best judgment with diligence and fortitude. WLIR. KAS.

The Western Trade Journal in a recent article had the following to my concerning this company: From time to time Western Trade Journal has had occasion to speak in favorable terms of several Nevada companies. We have not hesitated to recommend the stock of our readers our investigations, of those enterprises have been such as to convince us that as legitimate promising mining enterprises nothing more secure is on the market. 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-as可靠. 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 pair-taking investigation on the part of the Western Trade Journal, and fairness impels this statement that the most searching examination continues as 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 E. D. Mining Milling and Development Co., -Room 1, McLutyro Barnett Building, Colorado Springs, Colo. "We consider but the interest of the subscribers who may be undecided how to invest in the Newlands silver and gold mines when, without insinuating aught in detraction of other companies, we bestow our undreserved indorsement upon the Freeman Company's ion.
