PEKA PLAINDEALER Beware of Negro "Leagues" Who are Solociting Funds to Have a "Good Time" at Chicago! Bourbon County is Putting Forth Some Splendid Men for the Various Offices--All are Making a Clean, Manly Canvass for Nominations. VOLUME X. Beware of Negro POLITICS GROW WARM Bourbon County is Putting Men for the Various ing a Clean, for Non Mr. Geo. House, a candidate for Register of Deeds, came to Kansas in 1807; he was borned in Missouri and has been living in Ft. Scott every since. He has been a prominent business man for many years; he has served on the Police Department there for the last ten years, where he now holds his present position. He has always been a loyal Republican and supported their principles, and this is the first time that he was a candidate for any political office which his many friends, rallying to his support, gives him a guarantee that he will be nominated for Register of Deeds. He has always been a friend to the working man. OUNTY TREASURER Mr. A. Carpenter, candidate for County Treasurer on the Republican ticket, has lived in this county for twenty-four years; he is a nathe of Missouri. He has served as County Superintendent of schools for two years and as county treasurer 7 years; now he is asking his friends for their support for a third term for a place he has no opponent and should not have. He has made one of the best county officials the county has ever had in this capacity. He is a young man in the prime of life and always has stood high in the party. Remember him on the 4th of August. COUNTY COMMISSIONER. Mr. A. Shafer, candidate for county commissioner of the Third Dirtrict has announced himself as a candidate on the Republican ticket. He is a thorough business man has been in the grocery business for 12 years, also served as city councilman for four years. He has been a Republican from birth and from principle and is a great friend of the working classes and a special friend of our race as well. He has a large grocery store and has a large patronage among our people. He has their confidence by dealing fairly and squarely with them. They have joined hands with his many friends who would like to see him nominated and elected. Any man that makes a success of his private business will certainly make a success of the business of the people and look for the interest of the taxpayers whom he represents. He will certainly be nominated and elected county commissioner. Mr. P. C. Hesser, candidate for sheriff of Bourbon County has acted as under-sheriff 4 years without a criticism toward his official duty. He is a man well ment, believing in treating all men alike regardless of their color, creed or religious conditions. He was born 1851 in Ohio, been in Kansas 21 years; he was a member of the city council of Ft. Scott 4 years. His father before him was a great man and friend to mankind. Mr. Hesser is not a TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 5, 1908. politician, but he is a business man, and will give the county a business administration; he has a large following among all classes of people which makes him the .... candidate for re-nomination for sheriff for the 2nd term. He believes in helping all worthy enterprises; he is a great friend to our race which he has snow on many occassions. REPRESENTIVE 21ST DISTRICT. Hon A. M. Keene has announced himself for the office of Representative of the 21st Representative District, subject to the Republican primaries to be held on Aug. 4th. He is 42 years of age; he graduated at Ann Arbor, Mich., he has one of the largest law practices in that section of the State. He has been practicing law for 21 years. He is a man in the prime of life and he know law from A to Z. All these things should be taken in consideration when we elect a man to represent us in the Legislature. He has had the legal experience and is a man that has made a success in his business and has accumulated a fortune; therefore he can afford to devote much more of his time than the man that is just struggling through life. He came from that State which is an honor for a man to hail from, where he first saw the light in 1835. He has one of the finest law libraries in the State of Kansas and his practice stands second to none. He is courteous, generous and unassuming in his manner; men this type should be nominated and elected to represent us in the Legislature. We need more men of the type of Mr. Keene, in politics as well as in business. He has a large following among all classes of citizens who wish to see him nominated and elected to the next Legislature. He is a strong active young Republican, who has always been found working for the success of the Republican ticket. Whenever called upon, he devoted time and money. So we hope to see him nominated on the 4th of Aug. JUDGE OF 61H DISTRICT COURT. Judge Walter L. Simons, candidate for re-nomination at the Republican primaries which will take place on August 11th, of the District Court of the 6th Judicial District. The Judge has always been a life long Republican and has served on the bench for many years and his opinion on some of the most important cases have been sought throughout the State. Judge Simons is a man in the prime of life who has devoted a great deal of his legal talent for the up-building of humanity and his nomination will be equivalent to an election and will add strength to the Republican ticket. He is one of the best known lawyers in the State and stands at the top of his legal profession; his opinion has always been sound on all legal mat- ters. No better man could be nominated and elected for that important judicial position. PROBATE JUDGE. Hon. B. Hudson, Probate Judge has given Bourbon county two good, honest, clean administrations and is a candidate for third term. A precedent having been established by Day and Chency, it is but fair that the Republicans of the county give Judge Hudson a third term. He has been a resident of Fort Scott since 1977 and was admitted to the bar in 1872. He is an old soldier and one of the best lawyers in the District. This position should go to a lawyer and we would be pleased to see the voters of the county rally to Judge Hudson. He is a staunch friend to the colored race, and our people should ever be ready to assist such men in office. KANSAS CITY BOWS IN SHAME! A Detrimental Mayor to a Busy, Hustling, Thriving City---Peo- At the Missouri State Democratic convention held at Jefferson City Wednesday, May 20th, the newly-elected Democratic mayor Crittenden of Kansas City 'ertook to begin his policy of raising a great anti-Negro storm in Missouri in order to perpetuate himself and associates in office. Following so closely upon the high and broad administration of Ex Mayor H M. Beardsley, it makes the swallowing of this Democratic fire-eating. Negro-hating mayor to this representative, typical American pushing Kansas City all the more miserable and bitter. The best people are hanging their heads in shame, and making apologies for "our fool mayor." During his speech Mr. Crittenden said in part: "Another great question is now facing the people of Missouri, yes, the people of the United States. Thank God, it will not face us long when the minds of the people become riveted. The problem is Negro domination, Negro balance of power in elections. There should be a qualification placed on this class o' votes in Missouri. This is and should be a white man's government, and I give you warning now, the strictest attention should be paid to this growing evil. "National elections have been controlled by the Negro vote. Their vote is the balance of power in Indiana and we know full well that the electoral vote of Indiana has decided the result in some of our national elections. Go back to your homes and tell your candidates for the legislature they must stand for a white man's government. "Hadleyism in Missouri will give birth to the public evils of black office holders in the state. Hadley sat by the side of Negroes in the schools of his native state of Kansas without protest. He has lived in the wrong atmosphere to be made governor of Missouri. "Equality between the whites and the blacks cannot gain stronger ascendency in Missouri. Do you know that under H. M. Beardsley's administration the Negroes were on the pay rolls to the extent of $82,500 a year? And this is a white man's country' This pay roll will be materially reduced during my administration. Think of the spectacle of black foremen standing over white men on the streets of Kansas City "This occurred during the Beardsley administration and Hadley supported Beardsley. There were 6,000 of these blacks on the registration lists of Kansas City. They are the balance of power in Kansas City. The larger part of this vote is as purchasable as the cattle in the stock yards. They are a menace to the purity of the ballot. The same condition, no doubt exists all over Missouri in a smaller degree. I am told there are 60,000 black voters in this state. This vicious, criminal and illiterate class, composing the larger part of the Negro vote, should not be allowed to vote in Missouri elections. "No Negro should be allowed to sit with white men on the juries in Missouri's courts. "Think of it' Black clerks in offices waiting on white men and women! This is Republicanism! This is Hadleyism' "The question of Negro domination is paramount. The restriction of Negro suffrage in Missouri will come. You can't keep it down. This is a white man's state." Ex-Governor A. M. Dockery followed Mr. Crittenden. "This question" he said, "is of such importance as to appeal to the conscience and honor of the people rather than to their prejudices. If the time shall come when the people of Missouri must deal with this question they must deal with it in conformity with the constitution of the United States, not in violation of that constitution, but at this time the question is not of sufficient moment to justify its consideration at this convention, called for the discussion of national questions. It was a crime to enfranchise the Negroes, but it was done by constitutional amendment and they cannot be disfranchised by statue. If Negroes are criminals now they are disfranchised by conviction. If they are purchasable the laws provide for their punishment. It is because of their ignorance that you oppose them you must disfranchise many white men. Out on the hills I know many rugged old pioneers who would be disfranchised too, unless you put in a grandfather clause." Governor Dockery never made a more effective speech and he never put a collar out of commission more quickly. It was evident that a majority of the convention shared his views. James Conran supported him. G. D. Kirby of Springfield made an anti-Negro speech. While he was talking a man who sat in the Fourteenth street district showed signs of excitement. He was a fine type of Arkansas backwoodsman, Tall, angular, redfaced, and with a week's growth of whiskers, clothing that sadly needed repairs or displacement, with a huge hickory club for a cane, he was struggling with a "jag" the hot weather made more pronounced. Crittenden sat on the platform. The man from near Arkansas shook hands with him twice. At the first chance this man took the platform. "I hate niggers," he shouted. "Hurrah for Crittenden of Kansas City and Jeff Davis of Arkansas. I wisht Jeff Davis—" at this point a CONTINUED ON PAGE 8.

A mother, two sisters, a brother and many friends mourn his demise To those bereaved THE PLAINDEALER extends sympathy. THE FISH SKIPPED Friday evening of last week, Generals Martin Oglesby and Fred Ware declared war on the fish in the murky waters of Mission creek, and rallying their forces, which comprised: Otto Bennett, Wash Hardison, John Starnes, Burl Pope, Link, Clark, Carney and a PLAINDEALER scribe, they charged on the enemy that night and all day Saturday. The boys were well prepared to doctor the bites of poisonous reptiles and also keep themselves cool and refreshed while marching in the sun Clark's sturdy team landed the crowd safely on the banks of Mission in due time, but the fish however, received a "tip" in advance and all fled but a stubborn few that could not be convinced that the Oglesby-Ware aggregation was headed in that direction. They were promptly captured (seven in all) and cared for in the proper manner. It was a jolly, good crowd and all had a splendid time—especially Pope, Clark and Mr. Carney. The latest report from Mission creek says the fish have returned. NOTICE. The City Federation of Women's clubs will meet Friday, June 19th, at the usual place of meeting.

Quite a large attendance was present, and the young people under Prof. Hammond made an excellent showing. Thursday evening, the piano and vocal music program rendered by pupils under Prof Robt. G.Jackson was of high order. A special feature was a selection on two pianos by four persons. Friday evening, the members of the literary societies were addressed 1 The Magic Shampoo Hair Drier This circular, describing the Maid Shampoo Drier and Hair Straightener, should appeal to every lady who takes pride in having a beautiful head of hair. The Shampoo Hair Drier is a toilet article that, when once used becomes indispensable to a lady's toilet purification. It will straighten curly hair without injury to the hair or scalp Its use will increase the growth of the half, by keeping the scalp free from dust, dandruff and grease In many instances the hair is allowed to go too long unwashed on a point of the time required in drying and the dimness contracting the hair, but with our Drier, moderately heated as you would a curling iron, the hair can be dried quickly and straightened nicely, thereby making it look beautiful and natural in appearance. This toilet article is as much a necessity to a lady having straight hair as it is to one whose hair is curly, for it is an insoluble fact that every lady should bathe the hair at regular intervals, and when the long-time drying process is eliminated she will not hesitate as much to keep the scalp and hair clean by bathing. by Prof. Jefferson King, of Sumner High school, Kansas City, Kansas. His subject, "Higher Life" was very beautifully and thoughtfully delivered. As a coming orator and educator, Prof. King is developing wonderfully. Dr Vernon was present and presided. He spoke in splendid but serious way of the problems before the race Sunday afternoon, Dr O. E. Jones of the A. M. E. church, Karsa City, Kus, delivered the baccalaureate sermon to the graduates: "In all your ways acknowledge Him. Make God your leader and guide through the circuitous ways of life," were the ideas drove home again and again. Dr. Jones is a master of language and a student and scholar that is building a great reputation in these western states. Bishop A. Grant presided over the services, and Dr. E. Atlington Wilson of Metropolitan Baptist church and Rev. Clark, pastor of Presbyterian church at Birmingham, Ala., were also participants in the services. Monday evening another appreciative audience gathered to hear a most splendid lecture to the religious societies of the institution by Dr. J. E. Edwards, pastor Saint John church, Topoka. Developing his subject up from a long line of illustrious biblical characters, Dr. Edwards paid a high tribute to Bishop Abram Grant, who has been returned for another four years. Deep in logic and history, classic in language, profound and dignified, so impressive was Dr. Edwards's utterances that the institution has decided to print his discourse in pamphlet form for future study and reflection. Tuesday, the State Board was in session, transacting business that pertains to a larger and granler W. U., and erecting the faculty for the next school year. The teachers also gave a breakfast in honor of Bishop Grant, Dr. Gernon and the visiting brethren. MUSKOGEE. OKLA.

UM GUY'S AFRO-AMERICAN LEAGUE! There is an organization in Topeka known as the Afro- American League, who are sail- ing under false colors. They are teying to deceive and hood- wink the people by pretending to have an organization of soo members when in fact they can- not count So bonificd members. The organization is composed mostly of Negro Democrats - the sore-heads whose sole object is to coerce someone into giving outa few dollars or a petty job. The rank and file of the colored voters of Kansas are Republi cans and do not filiate with or have anything to do with this crowd. Mr, Jas. H. Guy, their leader, who has held a job asa Republican, and a candidate be- fore the last state convention for alternate to the national con- vention, pretended to be for Taft at the time. He has now crossed over to the Democratic party, and his ‘‘league’’ passed resolutions saying they are op- posed to the nomination of Taft and that they will fight him at the polls. Siace he has joined that party,his place is at Denver with Bryan, Tillman, Vardaman, Jeff Davis, Haskell and Hetlin, who love Negroes and would do much to make Guy and his followers happy. The sooner this crowd of Negroes who seek notoriety by ‘‘resoluting'' against those who ate doing something join Tillman and all depart to dwell with the other angles of hell, the progress of the honest, toiling American would be far more rapid. Let Guy and his crowd join the Jim Crow party and aid them in depriviog the Negro of his rights, and for every etab at the Republican party, Kansas will furnish two hundred progressive, property- holding colored men to resent it. Hon, John B. Fleming, of Horton, one of the leading colored business men and poli- ticians and a member of the Progressive League, made a drastic reply to Guy's ‘*League"’ in the Topeka Capital when he said that it comprised the same crowd that fought Prof. Vernon and that they are fiehting him now. Theie whole stock in trade is to fight progressive Ne- groes and that they do oot rep- resent the colored Republicans of this state and the party should not feel alarmed at anything they may do. We are informed thut the Shawnee county ‘‘League’’ has ventured so far asto send out circulars askiog people to con- tribute funds to defray the ex- penses of a proposed ‘dele- gation,”* This gang must take the people to be tools, but if they wait until the public pays for some Negro’s good time in Chicago he will never get there. The people refuse to be grafted in any such manner. Tne school board elected S. G. Watkins principal of M' Kia- ley school over the protest of the patroas who said in a petition that he is unfit to teach. There are other insults being heaped upon the colored people by the board which will be promptly resented, A few of ‘Prof. Sol's lieutenants are crow- ing over the way the patrons of ‘M' Kinley school have been ig- nored. ‘These peop'e declare the fight is on t2 a fiaish and that Sol, utst go.

The Superiority of African Civilization! | Mr. Geo. Wells Parker delivered his famous lecture, '*The Superiore ty of Afrivan Civilization.” at St John A.M. E. Church Wedneeday evening of Iaet week. Parker claims, and substantiated it with unanswerable facta, that the worlhl owes its civilizttion to the race, Me brought oat pointe in httory no one ever dreamed of, He elaim- ed that the Egyptian were ot Afri- ean origin and proved by #tandad authorities. Tke crowd who heard the lecture was very emall, which we regict very much indeed, It should have been heard by every man, woman and child in the city. Among some of the things Vark er saids MOHAMMED BLACK RACE, “Tt will Le well to note the fact that Mohammed wae of these black Arabs. When he appeiled to the Arabian, he called himselt an ‘Arab of the Arabs. of the purest blood of your !and, of the family of Mash, imand ef the trihe of Qurayeh.’ lt was the family of Hashim that founded the hone of the Abbisids, and thus we come face to face with the fact that one of the three prea world religions was the individual work of a lone black man. Perhaps that is why he says in the Koran: “Ifa Negro is called to rule over you, hear him and honor him and serve him, though his head be Itke the dried grape. “The spead of Mohammedaniam iccluded the whole of Northern Af- rica and in time, the followers ol this cult, Mohammedans, Moors or Arabians, which ever you wish to call them, deacended into Spain.

THOMAS, (EAL) Clerk District Court First Published May 29th, '08 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, Coloado 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 Gold Mountain district, Nevada. They have run a tunnel over 10 feet and cut several good veins of rich ore, and will begin shipping soon. This company has been the subject of painstaking 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, Colo. "We consider but the interest of the subscribers who may be undecided how to invent in the Nevada silver and gold mines when, without insinuating aught in detraction of other companies, we bestow our unrestricted endorsement 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 securing some of these shares, which offer the very best security for the least money that ever came under the purv ew of this paper." Mme. C. J. Walker's Wonderful Hair Grower BEFORE USING For long and beautiful hair use Mine, C. J. Walker's wonderful hair grower.

Walker in a beam and is positively guaranteed to grow hair, or money in fundal. Refunded. She will send to any address in the city, or the U. N., a six weeks treatment by mail, charges prepaid, for $1.10. After becoming convinced of its merits, you can purchase the grower for $100 per dozen, $200 per half dozen. Pressing oil $2.50 per dozen, or $1.50 per half dozen. Agents wanted everywhere. Instructions with each order. Send stamps for reply. Wichita, Kan, Oct. 25th, 1900. To the Public: This is to certify that we have known Mine, C. J. Walker for the past four years, and will say for the benefit of all persons concerned, that at that time her hair was less than four inches in length and was continually falling out and breaking off, and to our knowledge she was constantly using other preparations without any apparent result. We were never more surprised than when we saw her hair in its present condition. We therefore recommend her method and hair grower to the very highest, as it is a discovery of her own, found after years of research. REV. J. H. VANLEU. MRS. J. H. VANLEU. Extracts from other letters: I wish to say in regards to your work in my family that papa's hair has begun to grow. Mamma's and Ethel's is growing fine. My hair is growing beautiful.

I am pleased to say that I have received a wonderful result from the use of your preparation. You know my hair was one inch long about two months ago. I wish you could se it now.
