THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER The Action of Senator Foraker on "Brownsville" Shows Wisdom and Will Bring About Party Harmony! Editor Holt of the New York Independent Tells the Story as it Really Happened--Sensational Newspapers Exagerate to Inflame Race Prejudice. NEW YORK CITY.-Recent reports telegraphed from this city about the Cosmopolitan club dinner, at which whites and Afro-Americans jointly discussed the race question, are denied. Mr. Hamilton Holt, managing editor of the New York Independent, one of the speakers at the dinner, says those present were decent and self-respecting men and women, and absolutely notning occurred which would justify the malicious reports sent out. "Neither I nor any one else defended the intermarriage of the races in any way," he says. Last week's Independent says, editorially: "A little company of men and women Lave met occasionally at private houses in Brooklyn to consider in what way they can help the colored people of the neighborhood and relieve the interracial prejudice. "They include several white men and women engaged in social work and a number of colored clergymen, editors, etc., with representatives of old families of abolition heritage. Last week they agreed for the first time to hold a dinner in the city and invite a number of friends to meet with them. It was a very quiet affair for they were most respectable people. "The subject under discussion was caste prejudice, and it was treated conservatively. Not a word was said or a thing done in the least out of the way. We know, for one of our editors was there and spoke, as did an editor of the leading evening paper of this city. "The New York Times gave a few lines to it the next morning, and its reporter said afterward that he did not see any thing in it to make a 'story' of. "But there are papers which expect their reporters to make a story whether there is one or not; and the reporter of such a paper was present and he made a 'feature' out of it, describing it as a 'disgusting at tempt' to exhibit close social relations between white and colored men and women and to defend and urge intermarriage of the races. There was absolutely nothing of the sort said; not an act or expression that was not perfectly seemly." "I said in my speech," says Editor Holt. "that there were four ways of dealing with the race problem. Those ways were extermination, deportation, assimilation and education. The first two, I remarked, were impossible. I said that intermarriage, if it were between white men and colored women and not between colored men and white women, would bleach the race, but I rejected this as a proper solution. I then laid stress upon the education of the Negro race as the best means of dealing with the problem." In >pite of the facts as stated above, some southern sympathizing OPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 22, 1908. reporter for a New York daily newspaper and the Associated Press concocted the perfect tissue of malicious ties that were sent broadcast over the country and published in many reputable newspapers that would not have "touched them with a ten-foot pole" had they but had an inkling of the facts. It is simply astonishing at times to what low and contemptible things some prejudiced fools and scoundrels will grovel. WASHINGTON NOTES. BY R. W. THOMPSON In some quarters diagrant instances of "lily-whiteism" have been reported. It is denied, however, that this Republican cabal has the sanction of the national administration, however they may masquerade for the sake of effect in administration garments. If it can be shown that Negroes have been excluded from the regular conventions or denied the privilege of voting at primaries because of their color, a ticket so elected will not stand a ghost of a show with the real friends of the administration on the committee on credentials. It is likewise unjust for certain organs, however, to attempt to confuse the unsophisticated masses by having it given out that the lelegates representing the Taft Roosevelt combination and those voting on the "lily-white" basis are one and the same. If the intelligent reader will examine the facts carefully, he will find that in practically every state where the administration has named and elected its delegates, the slate includes creditable representatives of the Negro element of the party. The reputable newspapers of the race—and the most influential of the long list are loyally supporting the administration and Secretary Taft—are sparing no pains to denounce and discredit this "lily-white" miama that is springing up here and there in the Republican ranks of the South. The Negre leaders who will come up from Dixie will know how to plead their cause, and it moreover goes without the saying that their testimony will receive the most respectful attention at the hands of those who know that success at the polls in November is largely dependent upon how firmly the g. o. p. clings to the old moorings of liberty, justice and civil equality enunciated in the nation's Charter and revitalized by Lincoln, Grant, Sumner, Conkling and Morton. With the clearing of the political atmostphere, the nominee for second place and the future of the 'allies' naturally creep into the public mind. Cautious ones suggest that it might be well to wait until after the middle of next month to prognosticate, but chronic goose nippers have little regard for time or place when they want to talk and they are talking. Vice-President Fairbanks has the center of the spotlight just now, and of all the so called "calves," is making the best showing of genuine strength. His value as a national leader was never more thoroughly appreciated. No matter what may happen, he is too able a man to be lost to public life, and there is a determination on the part of the powers to "take care of him" handsomely. If he yields to the wishes of his friends, he will accept the nomination for Vice-President with Taft, and doubly assure the vote of Indiana and add strength to the ticket in many places where he is immensely popular. Should be able to resist all overtures of this kind, it is felt that he might consent to sit at the Cabinet table of President Taft as Premier. He would make an ideal Secretary of State, or Minister to England. Cannon is to be made Speaker of the House again; Lafollette and Knox are to remain in the Senate, where Foraker will keep them company and parry the thrusts of the Baileys and Culberrons and try to keep Jeff Davis somewhere near the blunds of decency; Hughes will run again for Governor of New York; and there is a revival of the rumor that if nothing particularly "strenuous" happens at Chicago to divert his attention, President Roosevelt will on the 4th of next March succeed Thomas Collier Platt as Senator from New York. Is this combination fails to work out as scheduled, some mighty shrewd politicians will miss their guess. The electon of Dr. E. W. Lampton as Bishop and Mr. Ira T. Bryant as Secretary of the Sunday School Union by the A. M. E. Conference at Norfolk, meets with universal approval. Recorder John C. Dancy was reselected editor of the Zion Quarterly at Philadelphia. Special mention is made of these for the reason that they are to all intent and purposes, citizens of Washington, and their loyal friends have taken a brotherly interest in all that makes for their advancement. The nomination of William H. Tatt on the first ballot at Chicago is a foregone conclusion. The last of the delegates were chosen Saturday, and the best estimates give a total of 584 pledged to the Secretary of War, 93 more than enough to make him the nominee. Of this number 517 are instructed, 36 pledged by resolutions of endorsement, and 31 by personal declaration. The number of the unpledged delegates 169, and of these more than one hundred are known to be favorable to Tatt. The present strength of Judge Taft is conservatively placed at about seven hundred delegates. As far as we have been able to learn, the sensible leaders in the general conference at Norfolk and Philadelphia have been able to keep the radicals from flying off at a tangent and "butting into politics." When the episcopal address had been read by Bishop Clinton at Philadelphia—and a splendid paper it was, too—somebody tried to get the floor to raise an issue touching a patriotic reference to President Rooevelt and his administration, but Recorder John C. Dancy, sitting in the conference as editor of the Zion Quarterly Review, divined what was coming, and rising quick as a flash, moved that the paper be referred to the committee on the State of the Country, of which he had been named as chairman. Despite attempts to make a "point of order," the motion to refer could not be debated, and the matter went to a same committee for proper handling, and the delegates were held down by Bishops Hood, Harris, Clinton et al to the business which carried them to the Quaker City. The report which came from Mr. Dancy's committee was a model of clear statement of the issues now in the public eye, devoid of passion and giving information of genuine value to the Zion people. At Norfolk, the political tendency was choked off early by like Bishops Grant Gaines and Drs. Vernon, Lampton and Parks. The two churches have sustained themselves well. They have admirably served the masses who sent them to execute their commands, and to rout the hot-headed reactionaries who can't distinguish the difference between an ecclesiastical council and a ward meeting. Chicago Preparing for Colored Delegates! Chicago, Ill. May 20 — The colored men of this city are preparing to give the colored delegates and visitors to the Republican National convention the greatest time ever given to colored delegates and visitors to any previous national convention. Unquestionably, however the most beautiful and enjoyable affair to be given during the week of the convention—and possibly the most brilliant affair ever given in Chicago for the social enterment of the race—will be the band concert and fun dres reception rendered by the officers and men of the Eighth Illinois regiment on Thursday evening June 15th. This is the "crack" regiment that, with Colonel John H. Marshall in command, went to Cuba during the Spanish-American war and rendered service that won the highest enconiums at the hands of the United States government. It is the only colored regiment maintained by any state in the Union, and is regarded as one of the finest drilled, most capably officered and best disciplined regiments in the country. The First Regiment Armory, probably the largest armory in the world, has been engaged for the occasion. It is also planned to have an exhibition drill by the regiment so that the visitors from the North, South, East and West may see what Chico go and the state of Illinois have in the shape of Negro soldiers. It may be added that the Legith is the only regiment in the land officered from colonel to corporal by colored men, and it will be a matter of much pleasure and deep interest to all to see them in action. The officers in full regimentals, beautifully gowned women and distinguished colored men from every state in the Union, in full evening dress, will make this function one that will go down in history as the greatest and handsomest reception ever given among colored men and women in this country. It will take on truly national proportions and the duties are fairly on tiptoe of expectancy in anticipation of its brilliancy. It is the desire of the officers and members of the regiment that every delegate and alternate delegate to the convention receive an invitation and it is requested by the management that all delegates and alternates send their names and addresses once to Colonel John R. Marshall, 3630 Calumet avenue, Chicago, Ill., to inquire their receiving an invitation. NUMBER 21 KANSAS IS FOR SENATOR LONG! Ilis Good Work in the Interest of Kansas Has Made Him Solid With the People all Over the State No man, sound minded man or woman in all Kansas doubts the honesty of purpose and sincerity of Senator Chester I. Long, and all recognize his great ability, and feel that he is the right man to represent Kansas in the United States Senate. Long has been a tireless worker since the first day he entered the Senate and has at all times kept the interest of Kansas and her people before him. Will the people at this late day be led off by a few men who are seeking office by the overthrow of one who has served his constituents and the nation well? We say, no! Senator Long has represented Kansas in a way that has kept her in the front rank of her sister states. When there was the least show to secure something for Kansas, Long was always alert and on the spot to plead our cause. The story of his gallant effort to land Professor Vernon is too well known to the people of this state to repeat. It not only voiced the sentiment of the colored people, but their white brothers felt equally as jubilant over being so ably represented in this important place. The people, not the job hunters, are with Senator Long; and they are going to see that he is retained in the United States Senate. True, the Congressional Record is not filled with uneless speeches by Senator Long, but when the Kansan does feel that something should be said, his colleagues (with whom he stands high) lend a listening ear and join him, for they know Senator Long is right. He is serving on some of the most important committees, and gives every moment of his time to looking after the wants of the people.

Rev. J. M. Brown and the different clubs are working hard to make it a success. Lawrence is justly proud of her representative men—men who lead along all lines of human endeavor. She has gotten to the point where she is willing to trust those men who fight for her cause—and her cause is a common cause. Silently, but effectively in she working for the betterment of the Negroes conditions at home and abroad. She realizes that the many complex problems which daily confront the Negro of this country must be met and handled by strong men—men with red blood coursing through their veins; men who are able to hold them own in life's battles; men who are willing to stand up. Look the Anglo-Saxon squarely in the face and tell him that all men were created equal, and all men are not white men. Such a man is Dr. J. J. Kenner. He is establishing for himself here an undying reputation. Not only here is his superiority as a doctor being known, but in Topeka, Leavenworth, Eudora, to which place he was recently called to prescribe for a sick member of the Parin family. By way of information, it might be wise to relate that the excellent team of grays owned by him was recently sold to O. S. Perkins of Topeka. The purchase price was $750,000. They are the same pair of drivers which took the first premium in two instances at the Douglas county. I am last fall.

The three Coffeyville colored people who were arrested and taken from a train near Tulsa, Okla., for refusing to occupy seats in a Jim Crow car were promptly released, the court holding that they were interstate passengers and not subject to Jim Crow. Oklahoma had just as well understand once and for all that Negroes will not ride in the front end of a smoking car for white men, and the conductor who asks passengers to move or telegraphs ahead for officers to arrest them for insisting on riding in decent cars, oversteps his bounds. Damage suits should be brought against the company as well as criminal proceedings against the conductor. If the Southern whites don't want to ride with colored people let them furnish chair cars, Pullmans and dinners for the objectionable blacks. The colored traveler loves comfort as much so as does the white, and when he is compelled to pay the same price, there should be no difference in the treatment. There are plenty of nice, clean, well-behaved colored ladies and gentlemen who do not want to ride with offensive people of any nationality, and no honest person expects any more for his money than another. All the Negro has to do is deport himself properly, and when he pays first-class fare, demand the same accommodations that are given others, and with the courts and a great mass of honest, fair-minded white people at his back, Jim Crow cars in Oklahoma is of but few days. THE colored voters over the state should bear in mind that Senator Long has always been a true friend of the race, and he deserves our undivided support. SECRETARY TAFT now has sufficient votes to guarantee his nomination on the first ballot. Thus ends the campaign for delegates, and peace and harmony reigns once more. SENATOR WAGGENER'S statement to the public saying that he is through with politics removes one of the most remarkable men from the stage of political activity in all Kansas. In brain and intellect he was recognized as a power.

The Mothers' Congress, the auxiliary to the Sheldon Kindergarten is very much in need of financial assistance from the patrons and friends.

We would like to have all money in not later than June 4th, at which time the last meeting of the Mothers' Congress will be held, and all business for the year closed up. Mrs. Wade will call on you, and we hope everyone will donate as generously as possible. CITY LOCALS. While passing the Capital Hand Laundry on Third street Tuesday morning the writer's attention was attracted by the soft, sweet strains of a sacred hymn, and approaching a young man we inquired as to what was going on. The young man replied. "It is the employees of Rev Olden's laundry at devotions," which has always been the custom of the institution before commencing work" We listened outside the door until the service ended, which was very impressive, and no doubt is very helpful in keeping the employees in the path of rectitude and right, and we believe that if this rule was adopted and carried out by other institutions much good would result therefrom. In looking up news items we were surprised to find that our people did not notice the excellent opportunity to make money. The "H. H. ' club declared a dividend on April 10th. One boy who was bright enough to look after the matter, cashed in his cards at two dollars and seventy-three cents each. Through the negligence or oversight of some people who might have taken his place in the dividends they neglected and lost that excellent opportunity. Every 4 lb pack of "II. II." four ontairs a card. Each of these cards is worth 5 cents in the purchase from The Topeka Milling Co. of one Universal Bread kneeder. There is another way these cards can be used. Ask your grocer about it and if he cannot give you the information, ask the Topeka Milling Co. to explain it to you. A contest is now on which expires Nov. 30th. A similar contest expired April 2nd, 1905, and some of the cards in that contest were actually worth 42.72 each. It will pay you to sit up and take notice. FIRST AFRICAN BAPTIST CHURCH.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO THE LADIES. A SIMPLE METHOD OF DRESSING THE HAIR. Every lady reading this article will agree with the statement that rever 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 three 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 care in 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 da age 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 odor and the scroted or dead ends of the fair are warnings that a better method should be used. A large number of ladies in all parts of the country have used and in force the new hair tone 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 Barton 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 purpose, aiding their agents in every possible manner.

The following is the petition filed by the patrons of McKinley school: To the Members of the School Board of the City of Topeka: We, the undersigned patrons of McKinley school on the North side in the city of Topeka, hereby request, petition and beseech your honorable body to apoint a new principal in place of S. G. Watkins, who is now becoming old and peevish from sickness, such as theumatism and other ailments which impail him from being kind and painstaking with the children, as there have been but few from this school that have ever made a mark of progress during his late years of service. A younger man with more activity and new ideas will do more to push the children and quicken their progress. L. White, Miss Mary Hopkins, James McCord, Jno. Brown, Grant Cornish, W. W.
