E TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. Senator J. B. Foraker, the Great Champion of Human Rights Has Carried the Brownsville Matter Before the Senate for a Vote SOME PROGRESSIVE OKLAHOMANS A Glance at Some of the People Who are Making Oklahoma a Good Place in Which to Live. We visited Muskogee, the great metropolis of eastern Oklahoma. At this town you find thousands of dollars of Negro capital invested in business, real estate, banks and oil leases. There are three stores in the city whose stocks will amount to over $110,000, and are among the finest in that city. They carry a general line of merchandise such as dry goods, notions, shoes and gents' clothing. CHIST KIMKEN. One of the greatest reputations of a city or town, in its police department. Where there is a city government that is properly managed by men who are capable to cope with the lawless element and hold them in subjugation, where it will be safe for business men and their families to live, is essential in uplifting such people that go to make up a great city. Muskogee, comparatively a young city, can congratulate herself upon having such an excellent man, who is a gentleman and an officer, in the person of Mr. Cham. Kimney, Chief of Police. He is a young man who has grown up in the world by doing the right thing by everybody that he has business dealings with. He was born at the foot of Pikeo Peak, Colorado Springs, in 1872, where his father served in other af for a number of years. He attend the public schools, and after branching out for himself as cow puncher upon the plains and hills of Colorado, thence coming to the Territory in 1837, where he still carried on the same business. After being in the Territory for a abort time, and coming in contact with the United States Marshall and other officers, working for the government, they became impressed with the manhood and fearlessness of Mr. Kimsoy, and he was appointed United States Marshall in 1808, under Marshall Relerford. He served under the Dawen Commission, was United States Constable for four years. Afterwards was elected Chief of Police, which position he has held for three years. His time will expire in April of this year, and it is the concensus of opinion that he will be elected without very little opposition. Although he is a staunch Republican, he has the respect and admiration of the Democrats, and business men of this city, and it is no unusual thing to hear the remark from the merchants, praising him highly for the good work that he is carrying on in this city. You seldom hear of any robbery or burglary, if so, they are captured and at once place behind prison bars, as his force consist of some of the most expert secret service men as well as uniform policemen. He is the first man to organize a police department on business basis. By his careful and business administration, several thousand dollars have been turned into the treasure, thereby saving thousands of dollars to the tax-payers As heretofore there were no organizations of this department, no person to police to beats, no persons were and properly booked and joined and their belongings cared for until after the trial. Since this splendid organization has been in force the people have become thoroughly convinced that Mr Kimsey is the man in the right place, and no politicos shall be made to interfere in removing him from his present office as long as he keeps this department in such excellent condition as it is today. During his long career in the Territory he has handled several desperate men without receiving a scar. He is diplomatic, kind and generous, and knows how to make people respect, love and like him. By hard work and practicing economy, he has managed to save some of this world's goods and owns considerable valuable real estate, and one of the largest livery barns in the New State; nine streetacks, and has several thousand dollars invested in horses and other rigs. He is a married man and enjoys the companionship of his wife and the comforts of his beautiful home. He is a member of the Knights of Pythias and stand high in his order. To show the high esteem and appreciation that he is held by his fellowmen, he was presented, since Chief of Police, with a beautiful gold star, engraved with his name, with the words, "Presented by his Friends," at a cost of 7500. S. MARSHALL, FORTER All Murkogee and Oklahoma is interested in the confirmation of United State Marshall. G. A. Porter, who was recently appointed. Mr. Porter is a young man who stands high in the estimation of the people of the New State, and their support and sympathy goes out to him from the fact, an injustice has been done him by a few black mailers and mudslingers, who are not competent to hold any position in the gift of the people, from the fact no one would trust them, and secondly, they have not the ability. They have a few ash lavit mills down here that grind out most any fulthy stuff to be used in preventing the uprising of honest, upright and industrious citizens. The classes that are using this fifth, are those who associate with the under world, as was proven in all the athletics furnished by the parties who were at out with Mr. Porter, because he would not stand to have respectable people, both resident and business to be dominated over by a class whose houses were contaminated with the fifth that was antagonistic, nauseating and detrimental to decent people to the community; and the occupants of those houses were required to move out, which left the property vacant, this caused the athletist make a to grow wealthy and try to prevent the confirmation of Mr. Porter for doing his duty If anarchist, defenders and outlaws are going to be permitted to interfere with the progress of decent people, we had better change our Constitution and habit and move to some other clime. Mr. Porter is a native of Maryland; spent considerable of his time in Wyoming on the Range, engaged in handling cattle. He was considered one of the best range riders in Wyoming. He came to the Territory accepting the field Agency for the Government; after which he was appointed United States Marshall, which position he is now holding and will be confirmed shortly as all objections have been withdrawn except a few Democrats, who are trying to run the Republican politics of the Territory. We hope Senators Owens and Gore will not be parties to the crimes and outrages that have been heaped upon this young man by a few so called Democrats who are TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 28, 1908. M. H. CHIEF KIMSEY the Man Who Has Given Muskogee One of the Finest Police Systems in the U.S. He Should be Retained as Long as he Will Serve CHIEF KIMSEY the Man Who Has Given Muskogee One of the Finest Police Systems in the U.S. He Should be Retained as Long as he Will Serve nothing more than demagogue. The Marshall is a young man, who is about 40 years of age. He is athletic, a commanding figure and has all the appearance of a soldier. He soldiered with the Rough Riders, went to Cuba and covered himself with glory and honor for bravery and fidelity. He is a man in the prime of life, and it is a crime for any one to try to impede the progress of Mr. Porter, who is new rising to prominence and fame. He is making one of the best Marshalls the Territorry has ever had, and everybody is subscribing to his policy, which is business from stem to stem. He is courteous, polite and dignified and has all the characteristics that go to make a good man. He is well bred, and one can see at a glance from his appearance that nothing but good blood courses through his veins. DISTINGUISHED CITIZENS AND BUSINESS MEN OF MUSKOGEE. The Sunth and House dry goods, groceries, clothing and shoes, are the largest business houses controlled by CHIEF KIMSEY the Man Who the Finest Police Systems Retained as Long as he Will colored people in the United States Mrs Nutch who is rashier for the concern, is one of the best business women we ever met and is a good purchaser. She visits St Joseph, Kansas City and St. Louis every year and buys part of the stock and her husband buys the other. They have the latest cash and wrapping system and their methods are up to the standard. One of their leading salesladies is Mrs Haunah Hywater, who was formerly of Topeka. Drs. Horts and Pickens will move to their new offices over the People's Bank and Trust Company about March 1st. The colored people of Muskogee own and control a bank which guarantees its deposits. J H Escoe, president and J. E Johnson, cashier, are among the substantial business man of the city. Our old friend, L. A. Kelly, still has the honor of being the leading "cathedral" of this country, and is growing rich at the business He owns a large brick building. One of the most pleasing sights to us were these great modern structures owned by colored men and ranging in value from $5,000 to $50,000. Most of the colored men in that town who are engaged in business are renting from men of their race. You seldom see colored people in white stores. Some of the leading lawyers are Judge P. R Price, A B McRea and W. H. Twine. W M. Ragsdale is still conducting the Creek livery barn Prot C B Bryant, principal of the Douglass school, reports the colored people progressing rapidly along educational lines. We met our friend, Ireland Rentie who owns and controls nearly 2000 acres of land which is mostly under laid with oil. It is reputed to be worth over a hundred thousand dollars and has a big royalty. One of the leading restaurants is conducted by York Byers on South 8nd street. He is a native of Arkansas and was one of the great leaders and companions of Rev White of North Tupela during the early days. Cash and Myers, Loan and Real Estate agents, located at Rooms 10 and 12, Brown Hldg, are doing a lucrative business. They handle oil leases and loan money. B.

Business Men's League He is a director and vice president of the People's Bank and Trust Co., of which he was one of the founders. His bank account of stock and cash is about $5,000. Mr. McCulloch is modest and unassuming. When we had locked over his desirable property consisting of two two story bricks, quite a number of residences and his addition to the city of Muskogee, we said, "You must be worth about $100,000;" he said, "No, you are away off." Mr. McCulloch has a family consisting of six boys and two daughters. His daughters attended the colleges at Nashville. They are both married His son, Myron, has taken one year in pharmacy; Stewart is in Audover, Mass. He is quite prosperous. He has a beautiful two-story residence consisting of eight rooms which does not appear among the cuts. In 1901 Prof. McCuboch disposed of his property at Clarksville, Teon, consisting of two two story bricks, fine residences and farm and came to Muskogee. He was at the drawing in 1901 at Fl Reno, and drew a fine 160 acre farm. F. 114K° PHARMA is one of the most attractive and best equipped stores in Muscogee.

He practiced in Springfield until July 12th, 1904, when he left for California, stopping on the way at Musongee, where he has since resided and built up a splendid practice, being considered one of the best physicians in that section. He owns a beautiful home and 700 acres of the best land in Oklahoma. O.HLR CITIES IN THE NEW STATE VINITA, OKIA. Our first stop in the new state was at Vinica. Here we found some improvement among the colored people. A nice, two story brick building with all the modern conveniences has been erected and is occupied by lawyers, doctors, and real estate agents. Mr W H Venters, the owner is one of the most prosperous men in this section. He a foreman of the portion going on the Katy K R which position he has held for a number of years. The Williams Grocery and Meat Market, on Illinois ave., enjoys a magnificent trade and treats all of their customers with courtesy and respect. The also handle coal, wood, hay and bran.

Mr McRea is a leading attorney of the new state with headquarters at Muskogee. R. D. Blackwell is still head chef at the Silver Moon restaurant, and is laying money by, for a rainy day. Mrs. D. Hicks is still running her rooming house and is doing a nice business. H. F. Watson, one of the substantial business men of the city, is con- ducting a tailoring and cleaning establishment. We met L.

Henry still holds his position at the leading hotel of Vinita. Messrs. Finley and Hudlley are at the same old stand and are conducting one of the leading barber shops in Vinita. These gentlemen NUMBER 9 the Senate for a Vote MR. HART IN OKLAHOMA! Negro Lawyer Will Kill Jim Crow Law. RIDES IN PULLMAN WITH GOV. HASKELL'S DAUGHTER. Refused to Leave the Car When Asked by the Conductor-The Presence of Officers Fails to Move Him-Completes Trip in a Carriage With a White Driver. We visited the I. T. side of the new state and Guthrie during the past week and found the people both white and colored dwelling in in peace and harmony. The only dissention is what little Gov. Haskell and his small Democratic party are keeping up by passing obnoxious laws. The better element of white people are against it, and many are heard to place their stamp of disapproval upon it especially where decent people have to pay fare and ride in the front end of a smoking car with one toilet room for men and women. The colored people own thousands of acres of valuable land and pay thousands of dollars into the tax fund, yet they are compelled to stand these injustices to please Haskell, Murry, Graham and other Democratic heckspittles who are trying to make capital out of the Negro question to perpetuate themselves in office. The people became so disgusted at the state of affairs that they were forced to get together and declare war on Haskell and the enemies of the new state The great Constitutional League through their attorney W. M. Harrison, of Oklahoma City, asked that an injunction against the railroads operating in the state be granted prohibiting the enforcement of the Jim Crow law Hon E.T. Barbour of El Reno and E. O. Tyler, of Kingfisher were also employed to assist in the case. The League employed Hon. W.H. H. Hut, of Washington, D. C., to handle the case. He arrived in Guthrie Tuesday morning overland from Fallis, a distance of thirty miles. He rode in a Pullman from Washington. When the state line of Oklahoma was reached, he was told by the conductor to get in the Jim Crow car, that colored and white people were prohibited by law from riding in the same car in Oklahoma. He reply was that he put for a Pullman ticket to Fallis, Okla., and that so far as he was concerned, he would remain where he was. "But," insisted the conductor, "the state law won't permit me to carry you." "I did not pay the state to bring me down here," replied Mr. Hart. "The conductor pondered a minute and said, "We will have to arrest you or put you off." "Go ahead," said Hart, "and I will sue the railroad company." "But you can't do that," remarked the conductor. "You'll have to sue the state." "Well my friend, I did not pay the state to bring me to Fallis, but gave my money to the railroad company and I hold them responsible for my arrival in Fallis," concluded Mr. Hart. Gov. Haskell's daughter was on the same car—just across the Isle from Mr. Hart, and did not appear the 1 bit alarmed at the presence of a woman. She is highly educated, cultured young lady, destiny of Oklahoma was placed her hands, we believe everybody would be happy. A telegram was sent to the next continued on Page Fight Welcome Address of F1cf. Vernon's at Washington D.C. The Honorable W. T. Vernon Registrar of the United States Treasury delivered one of the addresses of welcome at the joint session of the Bishops of the A.M.E.A.M. E Zon and C.M.1 Churches, Wednesday evening. Feb 12th, at the Metropolitan A.M.E. Church. Among other things Mr Vernon said. "Ninety-nine years ago there was born a man, who in his youth never had a pencil, and never had a paper, nor a slate, but who crawled to the fireplace, raked out the charcoal, sharpened it, took the back of a shovel, wiped it off with his sleeve and used these to figure out the sums, and thus begun the teachings of his all powerful mind. This man was Abraham Lincoln. "It seems but fitting that on this anniversary, a century later, these great Methodist bodies, the beneficiaries of his life and death, should gather here at the nation's capital, where he passed away, to evolve plans for the betterment of the race for which he gave all. This man stood for an emancipated country, for an unshackled race. "Your great organizations representatives here tonight, stand for the liberation of the conscience, the emancipation of the human soul You are working as he wrought, for the ultimate freedom of a people, who this night throughout the country and in foreign lands watch and wait the result of your deliberation You three Methodist bodies, standing for the idea of the fullest opportunity to men, regardless of color have demonstrated faith in yourselves and faith in the race, in that you govern of yourselves, for yourselves and by yourselves. As such men, such consecrated men, you gather here tonight, and we welcome you here, because of what you are and the things for which you stand. Near one-half century ago through your efforts, we largely than through the efforts of any set of men on earth, this race has come to station, honor and achievement. I was you who in swamp and bog and cotton patch found lost a race, and right well you are bringing it to its own. "You took this dead, ignorant mass in your hand. You lifted it from the ground, where it through long generations by slavery had been taken. You breathed into its nostrils the breath of life and it became a living soul. All honor to you then. All hospitality to you heralds of the cross. Tonight we bid you welcome to this our capital city, which for a hundred years has known the best and brightest of all the earth. "We feel that none with nobler missions and loftier work for humanity's need could come. "The great men of earth are not those who deride the church of God. The wisest put themselves in harmony with this work. They seek the spirit of the Master. Sud Webster Whre have the life given waters of civilization ever sprang up, save in the track of the Christian ministry, I contend that no literary efforts, no associations nor constitution in the questions, nothing that has ever done or said in favor of the great interest of universal man, has done this country to re-credit at home or al-road than our body of clergymen. Parren indeed are the efforts for governmental uplift, social regeneration idealization of humanity without the propagation of those moral themes, whose basic principles are sound in Holy Writ "The rectification of humanity'sills, must be the result of the growth of sentiment, the frustification of these words, always beautiful," And I, it I be lifted up from the earth will draw all men unto me. Through all the years of man's upward process there has been no darkness not pierced by a ray of religious hope. No persecution could stifle the crest of the Church The entre light which beats around throne, has helped the forward march of civilization till this glorious day. "The upfit faces of those who prayed at Plymouth; the invocation of Harvard's President at Bunker Hill; the faith in God as exemplified in the Declaration of Independence and ramifying all our American life, demonstrate to the world and convince us that without Him we are nothing, without the Churce of God we are lost "The Golden Rule has ever been the foe of the unjust. It shouted the batteries of slavtry, and when in full force, will cause all men of the American Republic to say: "Verily all we are heathers." Our pains and penal institutions will decrease in proportion as your work is appreciated and as men believe in down here that grind out most any filthy stuff to be used in preventing the uprising of honest, upright and industrious citizens. The classes that are using this filth, are those who associate with the under world, in was proven in all the affidavits furnished by the parties who were at outa with Mr. Porter, because he would not stand to have respectable people, both resident and business to be dominated over by a class whose houses were contaminated with the filth that was antagonistic, nauseating and detrimental to decent people in the community; and the occupants of those houses were required to move out, which left the property vacant; this caused the affidavit makers to grow wrathy and try to prevent the confirmation of Mr. Porter for doing his duty. If anarchist, defamers and outlaws are going to be permitted to interfere with the progress of decent people, we had better change our Constitution and Liberty and move to some other clime. Mr. Porter is a native of Mary land; spent considerable of his time in Wyoming on the Range, engaged in handling cattle. He was considered one of the best range riders in Wyoming. He came to the Territory accepting the Field Agency for the Government, after which he was appointed United States Marshall, which position he is now holding and will be confirmed shortly to all objections have been withdrawn except to two Democrats, who are trying to run the Republican politics of the Territory.
