THE VOLUME X. Talks on His Fifty-first Birthday to Colored People-Declines to Continue Newspaper Discussion With Mr. Bryan. The fifty-first anniversary of Mr. Taft's birth, proved to be the busiest day he has had since here a week ago. He delivered an address to an audience of ministers composing the Ohio conference of the African Methodist church, the first speech of the campaign to Negroes. The address was not political, but gave a clear outline of the sympathetic understanding and feeling entertained for the struggles of the race possessed by the candidate. The candidate was escorted from the Taft residence to Allen Temple in the evening by a party of the clergymen. He Legan his address by commenting on his familiarity with the tenure and the congregation He was there, he said, for the purpose of expressing his sympathy with the Negro race in its struggle for better things. "A sympatay," he said, 'which I have had from the time I was a small boy, for I immerited it from my father, Alonzo Faft, than whom the colored race never had a better friend.' This interest, Mr Taft said, had been stimulated through his experience in the Philippines. He reviewed the struggle of the race from the time of slavery. It had made the most progress in agricultural pursuits and it was in this line he believed they should continue, although he spent considerable time in his comment on the value of education, which, he said, had increased from 5 to 50 per cent in the past forty years. The education to be most sought for by the Negro race, he said, was primarily the rudiments of knowledge combined with industrial training. This should be supplemented by higher education for a more limited number to furnish well rounded masters, doctors, teachers and lawyers. "It will be greatly easier for him of the Negro to secure his civil and political rights when he becomes useful to the community and a source of profit to many members of it. Prejudice against the race fades away most rapidly when there are pecuniary reasons for its disappearance." The candidate said he had not always been in favor of higher education for members of the Negro race, but a full consideration of the needs of the race, I am convinced I was in error. On the subject of race prejudice and mob violence, Mr. Taft said. "I don't know that the race bitterness is any stronger today than it ever was. For a length of time it seems to be altogether abated, then there will be an outbreak, a mob will be formed, developing the most fendish cruelty, manifesting itself in the blindest and most unreasonable assault upon perfectly innocent people, simply because of their color. It is only fair to say that such brutish exhibitions are not confined to any one section "It is impossible to read accounts of this sort without having one's Blood boil with indignation that there could reside in the human breast such a savage and beastly impulse. "The best remedy and the necessary one is an improvement in the administration of our criminal laws and the holding to strict account the officers of the law who do not use all possible means to prevent and suppress such outbreaks. "I can not to strongly condemn the attitude of those public men who in their discussion of the Negro question use language calculated to arouse in the ignorant a deep contempt for the Negro race, and an altogether unfriendly attitude toward it. They must be held responsible for much of the feeling that manifests itself in the contumely heaped upon the Negro and the cruelty exhibited toward him. I believe sincerely that all through the South a very a very much better feeling is growing among many classes of citizens toward the Negroes." Mr. Talt said he realized the heart throbs of the Negroes, but in spite of all he should be of good cheer the future is brighter for him, and is more in his hands than ever. While the Negro is the ward of the nation, in the sense that the nation brought him here against his will, and must now deal with the problems that his presence presents and solve them justly, fairly and charitably, he is not thereby relieved from the burden of responsibility that he must assume to win his way in the community by industry and thrift to a place in which he becomes too valuable a part of society for his depreciators to ignore his rights and well earned position. Mr. Taft's speech was warmly received and many of his periods were roundly applauded. POLITICAL DOPE! The believers in law enforcement places a trust where it rightful belongs when they elected Hon. John Schenck, County Attorney of Shawnee county. The office has all ways been in the hands of the Re publicans and it remained for a Democrat to give the people the relief asked for. He is the best official since the Hon. Charles Curtis filled this office. Mr. Schenck has enforced the law without fear or favor. He has put more joint men in jail than any man that ever filled the office, and, as a result, Shawnee county is "dry," the jointests and this class of law-breakers have left the state or gone into legitimate business. All this has been done without an increase to the county. His magnificent administration stands for itself, and, if merit counts, Mr. Sebenck will receive, by way of endorsement, a second term. He is not asking the support of anyone simply because he is a Democrat, but on his most excellent record, and because he enforced the law. It would seem like a pity to turn down a man with such a clean, honest, straightforward record. No one can find fault with him on the way he has conducted the office, Mr. Schenck has in his office some of the best legal talent in the state, thus giving to Shawnee .ANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 18, 1968. county one of the strongest legal forces that ever served the people Mr. Schenck is a native of Indiana, having first seen the light of day in 1868. He is a man of great ability, push and energy. He is joval, easy to approach, and a friend to those who toil. Among the colored people, he has many staunch friends who are active in supporting him. He has always been a friend to the race, and never loses an opportunity to aid them to advance. As a lawyer, he stands away up in the ranks of the profession. Otis S. Allen, Democratic candidate for probate judge, Shawnee county, is one of the best young men in the state. To his friends and acquaintances, no man could be more loyal, and humanity has never known a truer, stauncher friend. Mr. Allen is not of the talkative, handsaking kind, who cultivate acquaintances and know them only while a campaign is on. He has never held a public office, and if elected, the people would have nothing to regret. Mr. Allen comes from one of the best families in the West, his father, Judge Stephen H. Allen having at one time served on the Supreme bench in this state. Otis S. Allen is a Kansas by birth and education, and a strong defender of those principles that guarantee every citizen the same right regardless of creed, color or condition. He was born in Pleasanton Sept. 24, 1873, and was educated in the public schools of that place and the Kansas State University. He was admitted to the bar in Topeka in 1895 and his practiced law here every since. He is a member of the law firm of Allen & Allen. This winter grew up with Mr. Allen, attended the same school and in him finds the same good, true, stunch friend of over twenty years ago. W. A. Jackson, of Atchison, Republican candidate for judge 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 professors and also in councils of the party. He stands for the cleaner things in politics and a square deal for everybody regardless to ered, color or political affiliation. We will get the full party vote and a large share of the Democrat. New Southern Statesmanship. from the Mark on Maxim The idea of Hampton is the new world idea of education, and white people in the South (and in the North as well) are now applying it everywhere in their educational movements. Agricultural and educational schools for white boys and girls are spreading throughout the South; schools to teach work, just as Hampton teaches it. Only last year the state of Georgia provided for eleven new agricultural schools in various parts of the state, and there is already talk in the South, as in the North, of agricultural training in high schools. These men, white and black, who are educ cated for domestic service will in time become masters of the state. The new leader, then, of whom I have spoken, do not oppose Negro education; they favor it and will go forward steadily with the task of bringing it about. So far, the Negro public schools have felt little of the new impulse; in some states and localities, as I have shown in other articles, the Negro schools have actually retrograded, where the white schools have been improving rapidly. But that is the continuing influence of the old leadership; the new men have not yet come fully into their own. I could quote indefinitely from the real statesmen of the South regarding Negro education, but I have too little space. Senator Lamar of Mississippi once said: "The problem of race, in a large part is a problem of illiteracy. Most o. the evils which have grown up out of the problem have arisen from a condition of ignorance, prejudice and superstition. Remove these and the simpler elements of the question will come into play. I will go with those who will go farthest in this matter." No higher note has been struck in educational ideals than in the Declaration of Principles adopted last winter (1907) at the meeting of the Southern Educational Association at Levington, Ky., an exclusively Southern gathering of white men and women. The resolutions, which for lack of space cannot be here printed in full, should be read by every man and woman in the country who is interested in the future of democratic institutions. I copy here only a few of the declarations. 1. All children, regardless of race, creed, sex, or the social status or economic of their parents, have equal right to, and should have equal opportunity for, such education as will develop to the fullest possible degree all that is best in their individual nature, and fit them for the duties of life and citizenship in the age and community in which they live. 2. To secure this right and provide this opportunity to all children is the first and highest duty of the modern Democratic State, and the highest economic wisdom of an industrial age and community. Without universal education of the best and highest type, there can be no real democracy, either political or social: nor can agriculture, manufactures, or commerce ever attain then highest development. 3. Education in all grades and in all legitimate directions being for the public good, the public should be the burden of it. The most just taxes levied by the State, or with the authority of the State by any smaller political division, are those levied for the support of education. No expenditures can possibly produce greater returns and none should be more liberal. Concerning Negro education, I am publishing the resolutions in full, because they voice the present thought of the best leadership in the South. 1. We endorse the accepted policy of the states of the South in providing educational facilities for the youth of the Negro race, believe NUMBER 38 ing that whatever the ultimate solution of this grievous problem may be, education must be an important factor in this solution. 2. We believe that the education of the Negro in the elementary branches of education should be made thorough, and should include specific instruction in hygienic and home sanitation, for the better protection of both races. 3. We believe that in the secondary education of Negro youth emphasis should be placed upon agriculture and the industrial occupations, including nurse training, domestic science and home economics. 4. We believe that for practical economical and psychological reasons, Negro teachers should be provided for Negro schools. 5. We advise instruction in normal schools and normal institutions by white teachers, whenever possible, and closer supervision of courses of study and methods of teaching in Negro Normal Schools by the State Department of Education. 6. We recommend that in urban and rural Negro schools there should be closer and thorough supervision, not only by city and county superintendents, but also by directors of music, drawing, manual training and other special topics. 7. We urge upon school authorities everywhere the importance of adequate buildings, comfortable seating, and sanitary accommodations for Negro youth. We deplore the isolation of many Negro schools, established through motives of philanthropy, from the life and the sympathies of the communities in which they are located. We recommend the supervision of all such schools by the State, and urge that their work and their methods be adjusted to the civilization in which they exist, in order that the maximum good of the race and of the community may be thereby attained. On account of economic and psychological differences in the two races, we believe that there should be a difference in courses of study and methods of teaching, and that there should be such an adjustment of school currents as shall meet the evident needs of Negro youth. 10. We insist upon such an equitable distribution of the school funds that all the youth of the Ne- Continued on Page To The Farmers We, the Executive Committee of the Sunflower State Agricultural Association, are very anxious to have the cooperation of every Partner and those agriculturally inclined, to make our meetings in Forest Park at Ottawa, September 25, 21:25 a great success.

On last Sunday night Thomas Harris, a well-educated Negro workman, shot and killed a white teamster with whom he was quarreling scout a collision. The murder at once inflamed the races and trouble was imminent all Sunday and Labor day. The Negroes of this district bought out the entire supply of rifles, revolvers and ammunition of a near by pawn shop, preparing for defense of their homes and families at the cost of their lives if necessary; but fortunately the white mob lacked a leader and trouble was averted.

Prof. Koontz who has announced himself as candidate for state treasurer to succeed Mr Hill, is a man who stands high in the community and believes in "fair play."

Kutz, a member of the city council and a young man, a strong Republican who has lived thirty years in Topeka, and devoted twenty-five years to school work, is spoken of by his many friends as a prospective candidate for city t easurer who they believe would make an efficient official for that important clue. A RAW DECISION. The decision of Judge Cottrell of the western district of Oklahoma on the Jim Crow car law, comes nearer being no decision than anything we have ever heard or read. He simply evades the issue and decides something entirely foreign to the point under consideration. The proposition submitted was under the enabling act, which permitted Oklahoma to become a state whether she had authority to enact such laws or not. It was shown that it was a violation of the constitution by the attorneys for the plaintiff, but the people who brought the case could not expect much from the judge as he seems to be evasive on the matter. Not having had any experience on the bench, he is somewhat backward in making a decision against the people in Oklahoma where he resides, for fear that he might be ostracized for giving a decision that was not asked for by either side. We hope the time will come when we can get men on the judicial bench who will have backbone as well as ability to decide cases according to law and not to feelings. We do not mean to say there are not any who do that, for we have one man in Kansas—Judge Pollock who does not look upon fear or fever, but decides matters according to evidence. Judge Edwin S. Waterbury, attorney at law, of Emporia, Kansas, committeeman for the Independent party or Hurst' party, which was launched in Chicago some few months ago, was a guest at the National hotel this week. Mr Waterbury was circulating a petition of his party and also placing his cause before the voters of Kansas during this campaign. It is no more than right that each person to whom this petition is presented, should sign same, and give these people a hearing, as their cause is one that deserves to be heard and commented upon. The Judge is a New Yorker by birth, and is one of Kansas' most highly respected citizens, having lived in this state for years. Of course we are supporting the Republican ticket and are for Tatt from start to finish, but we believe in giving the other fellow a chance to present his cause before the people and Republicans, Democrats and all should sign this petition for the above reason We are not so selfish and hidebound we cannot record others the same rights that we ask for ourselves. This party has only been recently organized, hence was too late to participate in the primaries. WARNING TO CHAIRMAN OF THE NATIONAL COMMITTEE AND THE REPUBLICANS OF KANSAS. There is too much lukewarmness on the part of someone connected with the committee in getting the claims of the Republican party before the people of this state. There is considerable work to be done and missionaries ought to be sent forth into every village and hamlet to discuss matters pertaining to the welfare of the people in the coming election. Those who are not right should be made to get right and those subject to reason, should be reasoned with. The Democrats are making inroads into the Republican camps and it we do not wake up, Bryan will have Kansas. Let everybody get busy. LAWRENCH, KANSAS The Stewardess Board of St Luke A. M.

Signed, G R Glenn, P. P. Clayton, J. H. Phillips, C. B. Gibson, R N. Rout, J H Van Sickle, Committee In this connection also let me call attention to the report of J. Y. Joyner, Sup't of Education, and Charles L. Coon of North Carolina, for a broad view of Negro education. I have already shown how the South and the North came together in educational relationships in the Southern Education Board. I have pointed it out as a tendency toward "nationalization" in educational interests. But the South Education Board, while it contained both Northern and Southern white men, was primarily interested in white education and carried no Negro members. At the time the Board was organized, an active interest in the Negro would have defeated, in part at least, its declared purpose. THE SOUTH, THE NORTH, AND THE NORO AT LAST WORK TOGETHER. Since that time another highly significant movement has arisen. Last year Miss James, a wealthy Quaker of Philadelphia, gave $1,000,000 for the encouragement of Negro primary education. She placed it in the hands of Dr. H. B. Frisell of Hampden and Booker. Washington of Tuskegee in the organization of the Board for the control of this fund and its work, a further step forward in "nationalization" and, indeed, in the direction of democracy, was made. It marks a new development in the cooperation of all the forces for good in the solution of this difficult national problem. The membership of the Board includes not only Southern and Northern white men, but also several leading Negroes. The president and general director is a Southern white man coming of an old family, James H. Dillan, dean of Tulane University of New Orleans. It will be of interest to publish here a full list of the members, because they represent, in more ways than one, the new leadership not only in the South, but in the nation; Miss Addis, Miss Anna E. Smith, 430 Washington Avenue, Kansas City, Kats who recently graduated from Western University in dress making, millinery and domestic science, is open for engagements. Parties in need of competent persous in either one of the above branches will write this young lady, who is seeking employment and comes well recommended to carry out either of the above to a successful completion.
