Plaindealer

THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER The Plaindealer Manager Circulates Among the Politicians and Business Men of Brown, Atchison and Leavenworth Counties. GEO. II. NEWLON, register of deeds of Brown county, is a candidate for re-election, basing his claim on his excellent service during the past two years and his never ceasing loyalty to the Republican party. Mr. Newlon lives in Horton, where he has a large following among all classes, and the fact that he is equally as strong throughout the county, it is doubtful if any one will enter the race against him for the nomination. We like Mr. Newlon as does everybody with whom he comes in contact. --- A. B. CROCKETT, candidate for attorney of Brown county is one of the ablest lawyers in that section. He is a vigorous prosecutor careful and painstaking and knows every letter of the law Mr. Crockett has resided in Horton for twenty years, is a life long Republican, and his opinion on legal matters is held in high esteem among the profession. He is a Christian gentleman, and can always be found on the side of right. His pleasant manner gains him friends wherever he chances to go. At present, Mr. Crockett is serving Horton as city attorney and Brown county as deputy attorney. His experience in these positions and his thorough knowledge of the law, is a sufficient recommendation for the Republics to nominate and elect him. THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK, of Horton, is well up in the ranks of Kansas banking institutions. It is carefully managed and enjoys the confidence of farmer, merchant, laborer and business man. Mr. Scott Hopkins, president of the bank is a trained financier and brings to the institution a knowledge that will make any concern grow and prosper. THE BANK OF HORTON is an institution that is contributing much to the rapid growth and thrift of this bustling city. It has the confidence of all who care to do a banking business. Mr. Ford E. Hovey, cashier, knows the banking business, and his keen insight and thorough training has placed this bank way up in the ranks of the best financial institutions in the state. HOLT & M'NERNEY conduct a drug store that would do credit to a city five times as large as Horton. They carry a nice, clean stock and their courteous treatment and high integrity as gentlemen has laid the foundation of a large and increasing patronage. HON. J. B. FLEMING is one of the leading and most substantial business men in Horton, and signs of his thrift and activity can be observed on all sides. He owns the finest brick building in the city. It is a handsome two story structure, modern throughout. The first floor is occupied by his tonsorial parlors TOPEKA, ANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 24, 1908. which is one of the finest and best equipped cone in the West. Mr. Fioning also owns a lovely home that is not only a credit to his enterprise, but to the city and state. He has a fine family and delights in making them happy, and he lavishly spends his money in supplying them with the luxuries of life. In politics, Mr. Fleming is a leader in the First district, and is known throughout the state as the "Mark Hanna" of Brown county. He is a born leader of men, and his streightforwardness, honest and fair dealing has drawn about him a host of inservable friends among both races. Mr. Fleming is an excellent example of the thrifty Western Negro who is doing much to obliterate the much cussed and discussed race problem. Hiawatha. BROWN COUNTY is one of the most prosperous communities in the state, and Illiwatha is the Eden of the county. The county seat is located here which draws many people who otherwise would lose the opportunity of viewing this beautiful city. In company with our esteemed friend, Hon J. B. Fleming, we made the trip from Horton in one of Wells & Farmer's "New Ford" automobiles. It was a delightful trip and we had the pleasure of viewing the surrounding country. Wells & Farmer carry nothing but the best machines, and their chauffeurs are careful and painstaking. When in Horton we advise those wanting a conveyance to call on this firm. --- MISS JESSIE CAMPBELL, clerk of Brown county is one of the most remarkable young ladies in Kansas. She is bright, intelligent, and well posted on all subjects. She comes from one of the best families in Kansas. Her father was a Republican of the old school and contributed much to the success of the party of Lincoln and other defenders of human rights. Two years ago when the county central committee met at the court house, all the candidates were present, and those who were too deeply interested in their work to leave, were sent for, among them being Miss Campbell. In a neat little speech before the gathering, Miss Campbell said that she knew nothing about the ins and outs of politics, but that she did know all about conducting the office of county clerk. That the people had honored her with their confidence, and that she had done all in her power to serve them faithfully and well. Miss Campbell has had eight years experience as deputy and her efficient service as clerk is a guarantee that the Republican party will nominate and elect her again. M. G. HAM, probate judge of Brown county is one of the grandest old men in all Kansas. He is a capable official, fair and honorable in his transactions with everybody. He is well liked by all who know him and his previous service to his country and the party should entitle him to the office just as long as he desires to serve as a glance at his remarkable career will plainly show; He has been a resident of Kansas for fifty-one years, twenty-one of which has been spent in Hiawatha. He was register of deeds for four years, made abstracts of title for fifteen years and has been probate judge for four years. Mr Ham is asking the party votes for a renomination at the primary to be held on August 4. 'cS. For three years ending June 1, '08 he paid excess fees in the sum of $837.04. He believes the laws were made to be obeyed, and for this reason he does not advise as an attorney while serving as probate judge. The law says while filling this office, the judge shall not advise, prepare petitions or draw motions. Mr Ham has been a cripple for forty three years, and was a soldier in the Civil War, serving in K Troop, Second Colorado Cavatry. He was born in Fleming county Kentucky, October 16, 1848. Atchison. W. D. CASEY, probate judge of Atchison county has lived in Kansas for twenty-five years. He is 36 years of age, and has given the county two good, clean administrations. Judge Casey started at the bottom and his honesty, thrift and energy has placed him well up in the front ranks of Atchison's foremost citizens. He is a good fellow well met and liked by all classes. He is dignified and in every way worthy of the high honor that goes with this office. Judge Casey is asking for a third term, the precedent having been established some years ago by B. F. Snyder and W. D. Hooper, and it is but fair that Judge Casey be given the same consideration. L. M. BAKER, register of deeds of Atchison county is winding up the first term of one of the most successful administrations ever given the people from that office. He was in the service of the Missouri Pacific railway for fifteen years and is well and favorably known by a host of admiring friends. Mr. Baker is asking the voters for a second term, and it is very doubtful if his candidacy will meet with any opposition. His administration has given such eminent satisfaction that even Democrats feel that he should be given a second term. W. P. HAM, Atchison's capable and efficient chief of police is a Kentuckian by birth and settled in Kansas in '68. He is prominent in the business circles of the town, having conducted business in Atchison for the past twenty years. Mr. Ham is serving his first term as chief of police, and announces his candidacy for sheriff. Two years ago he was chairman of the Republican city central committee and served with credit to the party and himself. He is a member of the Ham Feed and Poultry Co., one of the largest concerns of its kind in that section. Mr. Ham is a perfect gentleman, well up on all matters pertaining to city and county government. He has done much toward making Atchison a clean city, and it is no more than right for the party to honor him. Mr. Ham has a fine family, and takes great pride in his home. He delights in the the accomplishments of his children, and any man thus constructed is bound to succeed. DR. W. H. HUDSON is one of the leading physicians of the state and while in Atchison we had the pleasure of being his guest. He is one of the best thought of men in the city and stands high in the estimation of all classes. Dr. Hudson is a good, safe leader, and knows the ins and outs of politics and if his advice is heeded, the colored people will fare much better in Atchison. Leavenworth. ARTHUR M. JACKSON, candidate for district judge, is one of the ablest and known attorneys in the county, and his large following among the leading Republicans is a guarantee that he will be the next district judge of Leavenworth county. Mr. Jackson is 37 years of age and has practiced law in Leavenworth for the past eleven years. He was admitted to practice before the Supreme Court of the United States in 1902. He was born in Illinois and reared in Kansas, having settled in the state twenty-five years ago. He is honest and upright—a friend to the colored people and will make an excellent judge. Mr. Jackson stands high in Leavenworth, being worshipful master of one of the local Masonic bodies. ANNOUNCEMENT : I hereby announce that I am a candidate for Judge of the District Court of Leavenworth County, Kansas, on the Republican ticket and earnestly solicit the support of my friends at the Primary Election to be held on Tuesday, Aug. 4th, 1908. C. P. RUTHERFORD, who announces his candidacy for probate judge, is in everyway worthy and well qualified. He has practiced law in Leavenworth for the past twenty-five years, and has served the people as both city and county attorney and made a most excellent officer. He is a friend of the colored people, his father having lost his life in defense of freedom during the late civil strife. He is in the prime of life, and his opinions on legal matters are often sought by some of our leading law firms. The office of probate judge carries a grave responsibility with it and it requires a man of sound judgment and no small degree of executive ability, all of which can be found in Mr. Rutherford, whose announcement follows: ANNOUNCEMENT. I hereby announce myself a candidate for the Republican nomination for probate judge of Leavenworth county, to be voted for at the primary election to be held on the 4th day of August, 1908. I have studied and practiced law in this county for 25 years and therefore believe that I possess sufficient legal attainments to enable me to perform the duties of the very important office of probate judge in such a manner as to avoid future litigation which must ensue if the law is not properly construed. Once in every generation every estate passes through the probate court. It also has original jurisdiction in Habeas corpus case; it has jurisdiction in it junction cases to issue restraining orders; it has original jurisdiction in insanity cases; it has original jurisdiction of NUMBER 17 the probate of wills, the law of wills being one of the most difficult branches of the law. A wrong construction of a will by a probate judge often leads to prolonged and expensive litigation. THEREFORE, I leave it to the candid consideration of the voters of Leavenworth county whether or not a lawyer should hold the office of probate judge. Respectfully, FALSE IMPRESSION OF MR. TAFT! Colored People Had Been Misinformed as to His Attitude Toward Them. WASHINGTON, D. C., April 22. An impression, studiously created in the East, that Secretary Taft is opposed to the interests of the colored people of the country and that the colored people as a whole are opposed to him has been largely dispelled as a result of his trip during the first two weeks in April, through the Middle West, where he was acclaimed as "our next President." On that trip he met and conferred with many of the leading colored citizens of the section of the country through which he travelled. They were not loth to ask him questions concerning his attitude toward them and he was quick to respond in a way that appeared to be satisfactory to them. He assured them that he was not in favor of their disfranchisement in the South, that he had been interested in their problems from his youth, and that he sympathized with the highest ideals of their race. At Louisville several hundred of them joined in the welcome extended to him by thousands of citizens of that city April 10. They filled the galleries at the theatre in which he delivered an address. They applauded him again and again when he argued that the "grandfather" clauses in the franchise laws of the Southern states were unconstitutional and that such laws, if enforced at all, should be enforced as strictly against the whites as against the blacks. He made no reference to the race question in his addresses in the North, where that question is less vital, but to the representative Southern audience at Louisville he dilated at length upon the wonderful progress in the acquirement of education and property by the great mass of colored people in the United States since the Civil War. Not the least of the ovation given him at the conclusion of his speech was by the thousand or more colored voters who were present. "Why should we be opposed to the nomination and election of Mr. Taft?" said one of the more prominent of the colored citizens in that audience. "No one who listens to him could believe that he would be opposed to one class of citizens in this country as against another. He believes that all citizens should be treated alike under the law, whether they be rich or poor, white or black. Shall we then forget that all that has been done for us during the past forty five years was made possible by the Republican party? Would Continued on Page 4.

SOME OF THE GOOD POINTS OF THE NEIGHBORS. The Neighbors of the Heathstone of Kansas City, Missouri, whose name has been often mentioned in these columns in letters of thanks from their members who have received benefits, have several unique features in their benefits. One is that the benefits increase ten per cent each year for five years. In other words, giving the member the profit on his membership. Another is the fact that incorporated under the same laws as the Masons. Old Pellows etc., they do not have to pay taxes or license fees in any state. This saves hundreds of dollars each year which goes to the members. They show they have the courage of their convictions when they offer $100 reward for a single just claim which they have failed to pay. This speaks most highly for them. Any man or woman needs benefits and if he can get them when disabled will surely become a member. The Neighbors have hundreds of letters on file showing how their members regard them. They have put in strong Heartstones in a number of towns in the state among which are Hutchinson, Newton, and Strong I.City. They are offering big inducements to organizers in Kansas and Oklahoma.

Noman has more truthfully pictured the Ne- gro's position in the great battle for existence than the following extract from Mr. Baker's article in the March number of the American Magazine: ‘ All these forces and counter forcee —economic, social, religious, politi cal are at work. We can all see them plainly, but we cannot judge ot their respective strength, It is a tremendous struggle that is goiug yn—the struggle of a backward race for survival within the swift moving civilization of an advanced race. No one can look upon it without the most profound fascination for its in terests a3 a human spectacle, nr without the deepest sympathy for the eftorts of 10,009,000 human beinga to surmount the obstacles which bes set them on every hand And what a struggte it ise! As T Jook out upon it and see thi dark horde of men anil women coming up, c ming up,a few white men here and there cheering them on, a few bitterly holding thea back, I feel that Port Author and the battle of beypchittes bloody as they were, are not to be cempared with such a comiflict as this, for this is the silent, dogged. sauguiary, modern struggle in which the combatants never rest upon their arms. But the object is rouch the same: the effurt of a back- ward race for a foothold upon thie earth, for civilized respect and an opportunity to expand. And the: Negro is not fighting Russians, but Americans, Germans, Insh, English, Italians, Jews, Slav—all those ming. ling white racea [each, indeed, ens gayed inthe same sort of a struggle] which make up the nation we call America, The more I see of the comfl ct the more I seem to see that victory cr or defeat liea with the Negro him: eelt. Aga wise Negro put it to me: “Forty years ago the white man emancipated us; but we are only just now diacovering that we must eman- cipate ourselves " Whether the Negro can survive the confltct, how it will all come out, po man knows. For thisia the mak- ing of life itself. Senator Foraker’s speech on behalf of the ‘Black Battallion’ was a master stroke, and his name will go down in history as the greatest of all Americans, He is a brave, bold champion of justice and right.

My father felt very deeply on the aab- ject and I was brought up with views which in the South would be considered radical. When I went to the Philippines similar questions arove, The proper settlement of race differences and prejadices is one that I have hada great deal of interest in, I have always eymva- thized with the rave which has been more unfortunate in ite controversy with that race stich has assumed to be superior, and in many cases as— sumed a position entirely unjustifi- abla in Christian brotherhood. “The progr ea that the colored man is making furnished ground tor encouragement that I think we wil have a right to feel.

A, J, Cary, of Chicago, one of a partyfof colored men, informed Mr. Taft that the impreesion had gone abroad that he was in sympo— thy with the disfranchisement of the colored people in the South, “Not in the slighteat,’’ respond- Secretary Taft. ‘My position ia this, that the Southern men are obliged to keep within the constitu tion, and if they choose to do so under the Federal constitution they tava the picht to impose an educae SS ——— A speeches, my attitude msy be mis understood. If you will refer to my speeches at Brooklyn, ‘luskegee,and Greensboro, you will sec that thie is my position.

I don't think you will tind that Iam in the slightest degree lickiog in accord with you on that eubject,” The members of the deleration nodded their assent and the Sacre tary continued: “The truth is that they are most anvicus to get within the law who realize that a vontinu- ance of fraud and violence in the disfranchisement of col red voters where white voters ought to be equally disfranchieed, eaps the mors al founiation of the moral young white men, They cannot be dix- honest in one thing and have the moral virus creep into their veiue in everything elec. I believe they are coming to the point where the law wall be enforced equally against both and where the colored men who have property or education will be given all the rights they are entitled to under the law that ie con- stitutional, There “grandfather” clauses are not constitutional in my judgment. Then again, aliw may seem to be legal on ite face and be enforced by an election offiver in euch a way that when a colored main comes up ha will puta lot of questions to him about the conatitution that no niin van answer, and then when a white man comes up just have him read a sentence.

And don't fill out legal papers or card memos—or make out accounts or hotel menus in your own handwriting. It looks bad, reflects on your standing, makes people think you can't afford a stenographer, and is sometimes ambiguous. You can write your letters—make out an abstract—fill in an insurance policy—enter your card —make out your accounts, or menu—or do any kind of, on any kind, size of, I space any You of these things yourself not happen to have For you can, easily learn, with a little practice, to write just as rapidly, and as perfectly, as an expert operator on the OLIVER. Because the OLIVER is the simplified typewriter. And you can see every word you write. About 80 per cent more durable than any other typewriter, because it has about 80 per cent less wearing points than most other typewriters. Eighty per cent easier to write with than these other complicated, intricate machines that require "humoring"—technical knowledge—long practice and special skill to operate. Than machines which can not be adjusted to any special space—with which it is impossible to write abstracts, insurance policies, or odd-sized documents except you buy expensive special attachments requiring experts to operate. You can adjust the OLIVER to any reasonable space—you can write on any reasonable size and thickness of paper, right out to the very edge, without the aid of any expensive attachment or special skill, and your work will be neat appearing, legible and clear.

FREEMAN MINING, MILLING AND DEVELOPMENT COMPANY. Have you any idle dollars? Then put them to work in an honorable and legitimate business. If you wish to know about a clean clearcut, up-to-date, strictly business mining proposition—mining in the ground and not on paper—if you appreciate a square deal and would like to be associated with progressive investors of the race, if you would like to see your dimes rapidly grow into dollars in a proven proposition now blocking out ore with a remarkable record and bound to win, then, write the Freeman Mining, Milling and Development Company, Coloaado Springs, Colo The Western Trade Journal is a recent article had the following to say concerning this company: From time to time the Western Trade Journal has had occasion to speak in favorable terms of several Nevada companies. We have not hesitated to recommend the stock to our readers as our investigations of these 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-assessable. The company owns and is developing the richest property in the Good Mountain district, Nevada. They have run a annual 10 feet and cut several good veins of rich one, and will begin shipping soon. This company has been the subject of pain-taking investigation on the part of the Western Trade Journal, and fairness impells 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 unsolicited editorial, address the Freeman Mining, Milling and Development Co., Room 1, Robbins Building, Colorado Springs, olo. "We consider but the interest of the s. describers who may be unde cided how to invest in the Nevada silver and gold mines when, without insinuating aught in detraction of other companies, we bestow our unreserved endorsement upon the Freeman Company's proposition. In view of the foregoing, we feel a duty to advise our readers who desire an interest in one of the best Nevada mining companies, to lose no time in securing some of these shares, which offer the very best security for the least money that ever came under the purview of this paper."

SIMPLE METHOD OF DRESSING THE HAIR. --- Every lady reading this article will agree with the statement that never in their recollection was the proper care of the hair and skin quite so essential to their comfort and happiness as at this time. Nature is quite often bountiful in bestowing perfect form of figure and attractive features and yet withholds those great blessings, luxuriant hair and a perfect complexion. Proper regard for personal appearance not only while attending church and social events but in the every day walks of life seems to compel careful consideration of this subject, that only the best results may be obtained and trouble avoided. The care of the hair has always seemed the most difficult problem If it is short and thin, a luxuriant growth must be encouraged. If it is stubborn and hard to dress and arrange, some convenient method easy to use and that will not damage or cause the hair to break off at the ends or fall out must be employed. Every woman or man who has used hot irons on their hair should bear in mind that it is no longer necessary. The sore head, disagreeable color and be scorched or dead ends of the air are warnings that a better method should be used. A large number of ladies in all parts of the country have used and endorse the new hair tonic and dressing called Stra-Ko. It is not a pomade but is a liquid that is most refreshing to the scalp, removes dandruff, invigorates and causes the hair to grow and is so easily used that only a brush and comb is required. Ironing or pressing the hair is entirely done away with. Stra-Ko can be tested in your own home at very little expense. Write to the Burton Toilet Goods Co., St. Joseph, Michigan, enclosing ten two cent stamps and they will send you a trial bottle, also a sample package of Creole Face Cream. They want local lady agents every where and not only give very liberal terms but when an agency is established always supply these agents with plenty of goods free for demonstration purposes, aiding their agents in every possible manner.

They had made a strong case for the Negro spirit, and the need of the race to stand for itself, but one of them said in a passing remark (what the investigator overhears is often of greater significance than what he hears), speaking of a Mulatto friend of his. "His hair is better than mine." He meant straighter, more like that of the white man. The same evening another Negro referring to a light complexioned colored man, said: "Thank God, he is passing now for white." At Philadelphia a dark Negro made this comment on one of the colored churches where Mulattoes are in the ascendency: "You can't have a good time when you go there unless you have straight hair." This remark indicated not only the leal held by the speaker, but shown the line drawn by the light-colored man against his darker brother. In the same way it is almost a universal desire of Negroes to "marry whiter;" that is, a dark man will, if possible, marry a Mulatto woman, the lighter the better. The ideal is whiteness; for whiteness stands for opportunity, power, progress. Give a colored man or woman white blood, educate him until he has glimpses of the greater possibilities of life then lock him forever within the hair of color, and you have all the elements of tragedy. Dr. DaBoss in his remarkable book, "The Souls of Black Folks," has expressed more vividly than any other writer the essential signifi- cance of this tragedy. I read the book before I went South and I thought it certainly overdrawn, the expression of a highly cultivated and exceptional Mulatto, but after meeting many Negroes I have been surprised to find how truly it voices a wide experience. DuBois tells in this book how he first came to realize that he was really a Negro. He was a boy in school near his home in Massachusetts. "Something," he writes, "put it into the boys' and girls' heads to buy gorgeous visiting cards—ten cents a package—and exchange. The exchange was merry, until one girl, a tall newcomer, refused my card—refused it peremptorily, with a glance. Then it dawned upon me with a certain suddenness that I was different from the others; or like, mayhap, in heart and life and longing, but shut out from their world by a vast veil. I had thereafter no desire to tear down that veil, to creep through; I held all beyond it in common contempt, and lived above it in a region of blue sky and great wondering shadows. That sky was bluest when I could beat my mates at examination time, or beat them at a footrace, or even beat their string heads. Alas, with the years all this fine contempt began to fade; for the worlds I long for, and all their dazzling opportunities, were theirs not mine. With other black boys the strife was not so fiercely sunny: their youth shrunk into tasteless sycophancy or into silent hatred of the pale world about them and mocking distrust of everything white; or wasted itself in a bitter cry, Why did God make me an outcast and a stranger in mine own house? The shades of the prison-house closed round about us all; walls straight and stubborn to the whitest, but relentless- WESTERN UN1VERS1TY The Great Educational Institution for Kansas and Westthe DEPARTMENTS:--Theological,'College.

If space permitted I could tell many stories illustrative of the daily tragedy which many Mulottoes are meeting in this country, struggles that are none the less tragic for being inarticulate. Here is a letter which I received not long ago from a Mulatto professor in Western Negro college: I wonder how you will treat that point to which you have thus far only referred in your articles: 'Where does the color line really run?' what is to become of that large class of which I am a part, that class which is neither white nor black and yet both? There are millions of us who have the blood of both races, and, if heredity means anything, who have the traditions, feelings and passions of both. Yet we are black in name, in law, in station, in everything save face and figure, despite the overwhelming white blood. And why? Certainly not because we have to be. America is a big country: it is easy to get lost, even in a neighboring State. Some of us do, and the process has been going on so long in certain large cities of the North that we cease to think about it. But the majority of us stay and live and work out our destiny among the people into whom we were born, living oftimes side by side with our white brothers and sisters. When I go back to Atlanta after an absence of two years, I can, if I wish, go back in a Pullman, go out of the main entrance of the station, get my dinner at the Piedmont Hotel and when I get tired of being Mr. Hyde, I can stroll down Auburn Avenue with my friends in the full glory of Dr. Jekyll. As a matter of fact I shall avail myself of the privilege of a sleeper, sneak out of the side entrance, get on the last seat of the car, despite the conductor's remonstrance, go on to my friends at once and be myself all the time I am there. I wouldn't be a white man if I had to. I want to be black. I want to love those who love me. I want to help those who need my help. And I know hundreds just like me; I know others who are not. "I wonder if you can decide: Where does the color line really end?" (TO BE CO TINUED.) The best way to keep out of trouble is to let trouble alone. Quindaro, Kansas.
