Plaindealer

OPEKA PLAINDEALER Don't Imagine Times are Flush, a Fair or Circus Always Get the Improvident Negro's Money! the VOLUME X. POLITICAL AND OTHERWISE! A Glance at Some Kansas Leaders in Politics and Business Everyone concedes the election of Billie Morgan, of Hutchinson, and this article is not written as a booster for his re-election but it is simply to tell the boys to stand firm and make the majority as large as possible so when the next pension of the legislature convenes, we can say: "Here he is! Elected by a bigger majority than any of you fellows and he has the ability and all the qualifications, now make him speaker of the house." With little Billie Morgan in the speaker's chair everybody, big or little would get a square deal, so far as the speaker can direct the actions or house. To be plain, THE PLANDEARER thinks that Morgan is about the real logical candidate of the party for speaker. He is much close to a majority of the Republicans in Kansas and if there is a man in the state that is really familiar with the present conditions through the state that man is B. Morgan. Judge L. H. Madison, of Dodge City, canl late for congressman from the seventh district is one of the most remarkable men in all Kansas. He started at the bottom and through his square dealing and clean methods of doing things has won the admiration and confidence of the people of this district. His friends are not confined to the Republican party alone, but Democrats and men of all political affiliations have confidence in him and are willing to aid in putting him forward. Judge Mahson is a gentleman of the highest type. He is a man of the people, easy to approach and knows the wants and needs of the people of the Seventh district more thoroughly than any man in the district. He will add strength to the Republican ticket, and will be an important factor in bringing about the election of Judge Tatt. He is a statesman, leader and diplomat and in Congress he will serve all the people, and look well to the interests of the Sunflower State. He will be a power along with Murdock, Anthony and Campbell. W. A. Jackson, of Atchison, Republican candidate for judge of of the district court is a man well versed in the law, and will make a most excellent judge. Mr. Jackson is one of the finest men in Atchison county and stands high in the ranks of his profession and also in councils of the party. He stands for the cleaner things in politics and a square deal for everybody regardless to creed, color or political affiliation. He will get the full party vote and a large share of the Democrat. The excellent record of Congress man Cham. F. Scott, of the Second district will return him to congress with the largest majority ever given a candidate from this district. Not only are the Republicans enthusiastic in their support of him but many conservative Democrats have openly declined for him. He is one of the most active men in the house and through him the Second district and Kansas have been well cared for. No people realize more deeply where their interests lie than the people of this district, and they also know that unless Mr. Scott is reelected the district can expect but little it anything at all. He is chairman of the great committee on agriculture, and can render valuable service to the farmers of the state. Congressman Scott is bitterly opposed to any legislation that will in any way abridge the rights of the Negro. He has openly declared himself in favoring a reduction of representation in states where citizens are denied the right of franchise. --- Hon. J. W. Radford, state grain inspector, located at Kansas City, is the right man in the right place. This is one of the most important positions in the state—one in which everybody is interested, and the manner in which the office has been conducted by Mr. Radford is indeed highly satisfactory. While Mr. Radford is a staunch Republican, no man is closer to the men of all parties than he. The inspector of grain should always be by officials not subordinate to any market. This the present inspector has done and a popular sentiment has been created throughout the state to retain him in the office just as long as he will serve. Mr. Radford was first appointed by Gov. Bailey in 1903, and by Gov. Hoch in 1905 and 1907. His magnificent record commends him to W. R. Stubbs, our next governor for reappointment. S. C. Wishott, Galena, Republican candidate for representative, is a graduate of the law department, K. U., and has lived in Galena since 1890 and served two terms as city attorney. He was elected to the legislature in 1907, and was chairman of the local judiciary committee. Over 260 house and senate bills received the attention of this committee. He was also a member of the committee on mines and mining. Mr. Wishott was one of the most active workers in the last legislature. He was ever alert for Cherokee county, and no stone was left unturned when the interest of his constituents were at stake. He is a fine fellow and Cherokee county should put forth an earnest effort to increase his majority over that of two years ago. Sheriff John M. Wilkerson, wife and Miss Mary Stagnee, of Topeka, Kan., passed through our city Wednesday on their way home from Halleck where they visited his wife's parents the past week. Mr. Wilkerson had his two beautiful blood-hounds with him, and they are beauties. He values them at $100 each. He said he brought them along to give them an outing as he drove through the trip will do them good. Mr. Wilkerson's past record in tracking criminals is such a good one that we wondered what use he has for blood-hounds. It was he who ran the noted Dr. Praker of Excelsior Springs down and captured him in the North several years ago.—Dearborn (Mo.) Democrat, Sept 4, '05 Senator Chapman's Splendid Record! There has never been any disposition on the part of Senator Chapman to get away from his vote or any proposition that has come before the state senate. He has courted the fullest investigation and is anxious that every voter should know just how his vote was recorded on the important measures that have been up for consideration. He was always cautious to determine the will of his constituents and to ascertain if possible what effect a measure up for consideration would have on the people of his district. That he was ```markdown ``` [Portrait of a man with a mustache and a suit, facing left]. SENATOR CHAPMAN. true to the trust imposed in him is shown by his vote which in every particular is in line with legislation that the people have been asking for. During the session of 1905 when the state oil refinery bill was up for discussion, which was a measure the people were greatly interested in, Senator Chapman voted for the measure as the record shows on page 230 of the Journal. The session of 1907 was the most important of the sessions in which Senator Chapman has participated for the reason that so many measures Miss Gertrude Higdon of Kansas City, arrived in the city Monday and will be the guest of Miss Helen Wilma Bany. Rev Harrison preached an excellent sermon Sunday night on the subject of "Dry Bones." Mrs. C. W. Wilson, who has been visiting friends in the city, returned Saturday morning to her home in Osage. There was a delightful lawn party at the home of Mrs Burton Thursday evening The Literary Thursday night was well attended and the following was the program: Prayer, Brother Oliver; Trio, Minen Lissie Robertson, Myrtle Wilkes, Mollie Aldridge. Solo, Helen W Barry, Impromptu dialogue led by Mollie Aldridge; Recitation, Mine Gertrude Hoddon; Remarks. Sergt. Wilkes After the program refreshments were served, and all report an enjoyable time. Miss Louise Cavenn, who has been JUNCTION CITY up to be acted on. In that session he voted for the Maximum Freight bill, as the vote shows on page 457 of the Journal. On page 274 of the Journal his vote was recorded for the terminal bill. Page 537 shows his vote for the anti-pase bill. Page 511 of Journal shows that he voted for a flat 2 cent passenger rate, not the mileage book plan. Page 241 shows that he voted for a bill regulating express companies and imposing an excise tax on same. This is the record of Senator Chapman on the reform measures that [Signature] that the people were demanding were have been demanded. He has shown a disposition at all times to work in the interest of his constituency and having the experience of two sessions and the acquaintance which this brings he is better able to represent the people of this district than ever before. It is the usual custom to retain a useful member for two terms and there is no reason why this should not apply in this case. The republicans of Barton county should see to it that he gets a handsome endorsement from his home county. Great Bend Daily Item. visiting in Kentucky, arrived on Thursday and all we glad to see her again. One of the prettiest and most enjoyable of the many social functions for our out of town guests was the high tea given by Mr. John Grant Pegg in honor of her sisters, Mrs. Minne and Ellen Page of Topeka.

Mrs. Pegg was assisted in receiving by Mrs. Voley Carter, William Newman, J Jewell and Mrs. Alphonso Wilson, while in an unique corner fenced with sunflowers a symbol of home for the Kauai visitor—Mr. Floristic Craig served at the punch bowl.

To the colored people of Kansas. There is one Price Thomas going over the state organizing Afro-American clubs, with the pretext that they are for the betterment of the colored people, when the truth of the matter is they are no more nor less than auxiliaries to the Bryan faction of the Democratic party. We are informed that he has already been at Manhattan and Junction City, and if the people are caught in this trap, they will be sold to Bryan, Haskell and Tillman without their consent or knowledge. Beware of Price Thomas and tricksters like him who are playing upon the duplicity and trickery of the Democratic party to intrigue the colored vote for Bryan. --- ```markdown ``` You Can Hand Your Friend a Diamond and be absolutely certain that it will be appreciated, and at the same time be one of the best investments you could possibly make in his behalf.

In looking up news items were surprised to find that our people did notice the excellent opporunity 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 $2 73 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 48-lb sack of flour contains a card. Each of these cards is worth five cents in the purchase from the Topeka Milling Co. of one Universal Bread Kneader. 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 November 30th. A similar contest expired April 2nd, 1908, and some some of the cards in that contest were actually worth $2 72 each. I; will pay you to sit up and take notice.

Don't write him anything by hand that takes him time to make out that may leave him in doubt—that he can't easily read And don't fill out legal papers or card memos—or make out accounts or hotel tenuis in your own handwriting. It looks bad, reflects on your standing makes people think you can't afford a tenographer, and is sometimes ambiguous. 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 wearing points than most other type writers.

Ritalizing the demand among the Negro people for an educated ministry, the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute conducts in connection with its other departments a Bible Training School. The courses of study are so arranged that not only ministers and licentiates may be benefited, but those also who desire to do better missionary work or become intelligent Sunday school teachers. The chief aim of the Bible Training School is to afford a comprehensive knowledge of the English Bible and to briety, cleanliness, regularity and accuracy are provided. The teaching is to the elevation and Christianization of their people. Daily supplementary exercises designed to instill habits of so tend an ambition to dedicate their lives wholly undenominational, the intention being not to oppose or antagonize any theological work being done elsewhere, but instead, to assist all denominations. During the past year the enrollment in the Bible Training school has been satisfactory, but the opportunity is now provided for a considerably larger number. The teaching is free. The cost of board, including furnished room, light, fuel, laundering, etc., is $350 per month. The entrance fee is $7, to be paid in cash by each student when he registers. Students will be given the opportunity to work out much of the $350, in some cases all of it. Lack of means should not keep anyone from entering the Bible School. If the student is not afraid of work and study he will succeed. For further information, address: Bookb L. F. WASHINGTON, Principal, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. KANSAS CITY, KAN.

BY RAY STANNARD BAKER From the American Magazine. Define that is the progress of all I thought it under the leadership of the best and the wisest Mazani SOUTH AND NORTH WORK TOGETHER By both the Northerners (whatever their mistakes in method may have been) and the new Southern leaders were intensely and sincerely interested in the same thing: namely, better education and better conditions in the South. It was natural that these two groups of earnest and reasonable men should finally come together in a spirit of co-operation, and that is, indeed, what has happened. Out of a series of quiet conferences held in the South girls what has been called the "Ogden movement" and the Southern Education Board. This organization was made up of three different classes of men; first a group of the southern leaders of whom I have spoken Mitchell, Ablerman, Duncy, Curry, Houston, Hill, Melver, Clinston, Elgar Gardner Murphy, Sydney J. Bowie, and Henry E. Pries, second, Southern men who, living in the North, were yet deeply interested in the progress of the South men like Walter H. Page, George Foster Peabody, and Frank R. Chambers; and, finally the Northerners—Robert C. Ogden, who was president of the Board, William H. Baldwin, H. H. Hunn, Dr. William Battuck, Albert Shaw, and Dr. G. S. Dickerman. One of the inspirers of the movement, also a member of the Board, was Dr. H B H Russell, who followed General Arn strong as principal of Hampton Institute. Each year conferences have been held in the South, a feature of which has been the Ogden Special a special train from the North bringing Northern citizens to Southern institutions and encouraging a more intimate acquaintance ship on both sides. No one influence has been more potent than this in developing a spirit of nationalization in the Southern educational movement So far in this article I have had very little to say about the Negro and especially Negro education It is important to know the view of the new leadership on this question. I have shown in previous articles that the majority view in the South was more or less hostile to the education of the Negro, or, at least, to his education beyond the bare rudiments. The new letters have recognized this feeling, and while without exception they believe that the Negro must be educated, and most of them have said so openly, the general policy has been to emphasize white education, and unite the people on that "In education," one of the lead ers said to me, "it doesn't matter much where we begin. If we can arouse the spirit of the school, the people are going to see that it is as important to the state to have a trained Negro as it is to have a trained white man." One of the troubles in the South, one of the reasons for the prejudice against education, and particularly Negro education, has arisen from the fact that what is called education is not really education at all. In the first place many of the schools have been so poor and the teachers so inefficient that the "education" acquired was next to worthless. There was not enough of it not want of the kind to give the Negro any real hold upon life, and it often hurt him far more than it helped. Much of the prejudice in the South against Negro education is unpracticably due to the attached school system, which in many places has not really educated anybody. But, deeper than all this the old conception in the South of a school was for a long time the old aristocratic conception, what someone has called "useless culture", of educating a class of men, not to work, but to despise work. That idea of education has wrought much evil, especially among the Negroes. It has taught both white and Colored men, not the doctrine of service which is necessary to democracy, but it has given them a desire for artificial superiority, which is the characteristic of aristocracies. It has made the Negro "uppish" and burdrous;" it has caused some white men to argue their superiority when they had no basis of accomplishment or usefulness to make them really superior. THE INSPIRATION OF HAMPTON IN- SITUUU But when the idea of education became democratic, when men began to think more of their duties than of their rights, a wholly new sort of school appeared; and it first appened among the Negroes. The country has not yet begun to realize the debt of gratitude which it owes to the promoters of Hampton Institute—to the genius of General Armstrong, its promoter, and to the organizing ability of Dr. H. B. Frisell, who followed him. These men will be more highly honored a hundred years from now than they are today, for Americans will then appreciate more fully their service to the democracy. The "Hampton idea" is the teaching of work—of service, of humility and duties to God and man. It is in the highest sense the democratic idea in education. And it has come, as most great movements have come, from the needs and the struggles of those who are downtrodden and outcast. And how wonderfully the idea has spread' Out of Hampton sprung Tuskegee and Calhoun and scores of other Negro schools, until today nearly all Negro institutions for higher training in the South have industrial or agricultural departments. The best Southern white people were and are friendly to schools of this new type. They thought at first that Hampton and Tuskegee were going to train servants in the old personal sense of servants who become only coops, butlers, and farmers, and many will have that aristocratic conception of service. But the "Hampton idea" of servants is a much greater one, for it is the democratic idea of training men who will serve their own people and thereby serve the country. Men who graduate from Hampton and Tokegee become leaders of their race. They buy and cultivate land and set up business establishments. In short they become producers and state builders in the largest sense. WINFIELD. KAN W. H.
