THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER VOLUME X. President Roose NEW SOUTHERN STATE Ray Stannard Baker Tell South--A Personal Should Be Done Southern white men: James H. Dillard, president; David C. Barrow, chancellor University of Georgia; Belton Gilreath, manufacturer and mine owner, Alabama; Dr. S. C. Mitchell, of Richmond Colloge, Richmond, Va. Northern white men. Robert C Ogden, of New York; Andrew Carnegie, of New York; Talcott Williams, of Philadelphia; George McAneny, president of the City Club of New York. Dr. H. B. Frissell, of Hampton Institute, a Northerner, whose work and residence has long been in the South; George Foster Peabody, treasurer, a Georgian, trustee of the University of Georgia, who resides in the North; Walter H. Page, editor of the "World's Work," a North Carolinian who has long lived in the North Negro membership: Bishop Abraham Grant of Kas. R. R. Moton, of Hampton Inst., secretary of the Board; J. C. Napier, a banker of Nash- ville, Tenn.; R. L. Smith, a farmer of Paris, Texas In a true sense the Southern Education Board and the Jeanes Fund Board represent organizations of "working idealists." Such cooperation as this, between reasonable, broad-minded and unselfish men of the entire country, is, at the present moment, the real solution of our problems. It is the solution of the Negro problem—all the solution there ever will be. For there is no "finality in human endeavor; there is only "activity;" and when that activity is informed with the truth and inspired with faith and courage, it is not otherwise than success, for it is the best that human nature that any given time can do. In making this statement, I do not, of course, wish to infer that conditions are as good as can be expected, and that nothing remains to be done. As a matter of fact the struggle is just beginning; as I have shown in previous articles, all the forces of entrenched prejudice and ignorance are against the movement, the political leaders who still dominate the South are as hostile as they dare to be. The task is, indeed, too big for the South alone; it must be met by the entire nation, and it will require all the strength and courage the nation possesses. Bends the campaign for better common schools, the educational revival has also renewed and revived all the higher institutions of learning in the South. The state universities, especially, have been making extraordinary progress. I shall not soon forget my visit to the University of Georgia, at Ato TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. 25, 1968. hens, nor the impressions I received while there of strong men at work, not merely erecting buildings of mortar and brick, but establishing "a new sort of university system," which shall unify and direct to one common end all of the educational activities of the state: beginning with the common school and reaching upward to the university itself; including the agricultural and industrial schools, and even the Negro college of agriculture. The University of Georgia is the oldest state college in America, and the ambition of its leaders now is to make it the greatest. Mr. Hodgson drove me around the campus, which has recently been extended until it contains nearly 1000 acres. He showed me where the new buildings were to be, the drives and the bridges. Much of it is yet a vision of the future, but it is the sort of a vision that comes true. I spent a day with President Soule of the Agricultural College, on his special educational train, which covered a considerable part of the state of Georgia, stepping at scores of towns where the speakers appeared before great audiences of farmers and made practical addresses on cotton and corn and cattle raising, and on education generally. And everywhere the practical work of these public educators was greeted with enthusiasm. I heard from Prof. Stewart of his work in organizing rural high schools, in encouraging local taxation, and in bringing the work of the public schools into closer correlation with that of the university. Seeing the educational work of states like Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia and others, one cannot but feel that the time is coming shortly when the North will be going South for new ideas and new in spiration in education. In a brief article like this, I have been able, of course, to give only the best outline of a very great work, and I have mentioned only a few among hundreds of leaders; the work I have described is only illustrative of what is going on in greater or less degree everywhere in the South. Many important developments have come from these campaigns for education. The actual building of new schoolhouses and the expenditure of more money for the struggle with illiteracy is only one of many results. For the crusade for education, supplemented by the new industrial impulse in the South has awakened a new spirit of self-help. The success with which the public was aroused in the educational campaign has inspired leaders in all lines of activity with new courage and faith. It is a spirit of youthfulness which is not afraid to attempt anything. Much printer's ink has been expended in trying to account for the spread of the anti-saloon movement throughout the South. But there is nothing strange about it: it is indeed, only another manifestation of the new Southern spirit, the desire to get things right in the South. And this movement will further stir men's minds, develop self-criticism and reveal to the people their power of concerted action whether the politicians are with them or not. It is, indeed, significant that the women of the South, perhaps for the first time, have become a powerful influence in public affairs. Their organizations have helped, in some instances lead, in both the educational and anti-saloon movement. No leaders in the Virginia educational movement have been more useful than Mrs. L. R. Dashuell and Mrs. B. B. Munford of Richmond. Practically all the progress of the South, both industrial and educational, has been made by nonpolitical movements and non-political leaders—often in opposition to non-political lebders. Indeed, nearly everyone of the hopeful movements of the South has had to capture some entrenched strong hold of the old political captains. In several states, for example, the school systems a few years ago were crippled by political domination and nepotism. Superintendents, principals and teachers were frequently appointed not for their ability, but because they were good members of the party or because they were related to politicians. NEW STATESVEN PAINST OLD PO LITIGIANS. In Alabama I found prominent men attacking the fee system of payment of lesser magistrates. The evil in this system lies in the encouragement it gives to trivial litigation and the arrest of citizens for petty offenses. Let me give a single example. A Negro had another Negro arrested for "assault and battery." Both appeared in court. The accused Negro was tried, and finally sent to the chain-gang. The justice suggested to the convicted man that if he wanted satisfaction he should turn around and have his accuser arrested; which he did, promptly accusing him of "abusive language. Another trial was held; and in the end both Negroes found themselves side by side in the chain-gang; the magistrate, the constable, the sheriff, had all drawn liberal fees, and the private contractor who hired the chain gang, and who also "stood in" with the politician, had obtained another cheap laborer for his work. It is a vicious circle, which has enabled the politician and their backers to profit at every turn from the weakness and evil of both Negro and low-class white man In attacking the fee system and the old, civil changing system is the new leaders are doing in many parts of the South, in closing saloons (always by wark of low politics) in building up a new school system free from selfish control, the new leaders are striking squarely at the roots of the old political aristocracy, untermining it and cutting it away. It is sure a fall; and in place the South will rea a splendid new leadership in constructive ability and unrestricted patriotism. These will be a division on matters of vital concern, and a turning from ancient and worn out issues to new interests and activities. When that time comes, the whole nation will again profit by the genius of Southern statesmanship and we shall again have Southern presidents. THE END. DR. MILLER! Topeka Gladly Welcomes Another Splendid Physician. Below we present a good likeness of Dr. F. O'Hara Miller, whose office is located at 220 Kansas Ave., over Mr. Ott's drug store (Dr. Taylor'e old stand) one of the most popular parts of the city of Topeka. Dr. Miller comes well recommended from Kentucky where he M. DR. F. O'HARA, MILLER. practiced for a number of years with success. He is a scholarly gentleman and an ethical practitioner of medicine. He is a graduate of some of the leading schools of the country viz: University of Pennsylvania, Biddle University, Harbinson College and received the degree of Ph. D., from the University of Princeton. THE PLAINDEALER takes very great pleasure in presenting Dr. Miller to the good people of Topeka. He decided to come West and grow up with the country and locate in Topeka, the Mecca of the Great West as he believes the hope of the Negro's future glory lies in the West. Give him a call. He can deliver the goods. Amen' Enough said. SUPPRESSING THUGS! Topeka should feel especially proud of the way R W Eaton, chief of police, handled the big crowds during the state fair and also the big circus If there were any crooks in the city the police had the situation under M. B. through control and they were afraid to act. Out of the thousands of visitors in the city during the time, we have yet to hear of a robbery or hold up. In giving credit when it is due, NUMBER 39 Mr. Eaton comes in for a very large share. We can't remember a time when so many people assembled in Topeka without some crime being reported. It is all due to Mr Eaton, and every law-abiding citizen is proud of his action in supplementing the law. POLITICAL DOPE! By ADOLPH GRIFFIN. L. M. Penwell, Democratic candidate for representative from the Thirty-eighth district comprising the Second, Third and Fourth wards is one of the best known business men in Shawnee county. Every project that has for its motive the advancement of Topeka and Shawnee county always finds a strong supporter in Mr. Penwell. He is a broad guaged, public spirited man, and while he does not make it known from the house tops, the needy and distressed have no better friend in all Kansas. To the colored people he has been exceptionally kind, and his purse strings always loosened to aid any worthy enterprise that tends toward their advancement. If elected representative, Mr. Penwell would look forward to the best interest of all the people. He is in every way well qualified, and would not be influenced by aliques or rings. Mr. Penwell believes in letting the people rule, and if elected would do their bidding. For many years Mr. Penwell has conducted the largest and best undertaking establishment in Topeka 511 Quincy street. He is a gentleman of high integrity—honorable in all of his transactions. He is one of those jolly good natured fellows that any common man, woman or child can approach at any time or place. He is a staunch friend of the laboring man and has many supporters among them. His kindly treatment of the colored people has made him many substantial friends among members of the race. He has never held or asked for a political office, and says that those who support him will have no cause to regret their action, and it will be highly appreciated. QUINDARO, KAS. Mrs. F. E. Wassom, Professor of Science at Western University for the last four years, and who has just entered upon her fifth year, has resigned her position to accept an appointment tendered her at Lincoln Institute, Jefferson City. Lincoln has much to be proud of in seeming an experienced teacher like Mrs. Wisdom. It has been said not only by her employees but by pupils, that she is one of the most thorough teachers employed on the faculty at Western University. She is a fine disciplinarian. I have been well that the entire student body respect and love her. Western University will feel the loss of such a teacher. Mrs Wassom is a graduate of Oberlin College and the wife of Lawyer Wannom, wholpractices in both Kansas Cities. We hope that Western University will secure another teacher as good to fill her place. io S 4 Easy Work-Goon PA bea Mate he moary in yrurcwe town $1300 ti 910% sen a rmath eonly atned No experience tf mone? bn arceosary, Neback gre wither capitalend teark - Fra the husmess Licgant lines feanipics tree, 50 eo HSM PANTS $2he SUITS $9%> Frese NY, MA Tors narmeot made to measure tn latest ety i FAR yie~ 61 and workmanship ruarantert One | SoM basting secnt wanted In avery & wns Baul siveterrih ey Weitefot agent southt TREE THE PROGRES THILORING CO , 1608 Narrionn Stree!

HON. VERNON'S GREAT SPEECH HON. VERNON'S GREAT SPEECH The Colored Odd Fellows of America at their biennial session at Atlantic City, N.J. were addressed by Hon W. T. Vernon, Registrar of the U. S. Treasury. Mr. Vernon said in part. "Grandmaster and members of the B. M. C. of the Colored Odd Fellows of America: Permit me first to thank you for the honor done me by this invitation to address your great organization. "I say 'honor done me', because of the things for which you stand and the great work you are accomplishing for our people wherever your organization exists. "The influence of your order is bounded only by the confines of the republic and its possessions. It is affiliated with sister organizations throughout the civilized world with its 400,000 members. Made up of the brightest and best men of the race—men who are representative citizens of the highest order of intelligence working under the capable and successful guidance of your most worthy Grand Master, Hon. W. L Houston, it could not do otherwise than meet with the success which is shown in the reports and evidenced by your splendid presence here this evening. 'I refer again to the greatness of your order, in that it stands for all that is elevating, beneficial and inspiring, and the magnificent words 'Friendship, Love and Truth,' the basic fabric of your great order, would in themselves indicate the work you have done, are doing ard are destined to do. "This splendid quality of friendship alone can grow out of the ability to discern the worthy and the true, to discover real merit and appreciate the same for merit's sake. The closer relationship, love, a cumulative result of this friendship, so aptly styled by Drummond 'The greatest thing in the world,' and truth, which all right-thinking men admire, which stands out forever against the false and unreal, and through the ages grows more eternal, since born of God are noble words, are undying principles, fitted to give perennial youth and vigor to any order carrying out the same. "So then-your organization, bringing together the best elements of the race, the most enlightened elements in society for friendly converse and discussion as to the best means to be used for the further development of your great order, should have and will have a still higher place in the estimation of all good-thinking people and in the appreciation of your fellow men. 'This order does more than benefit its members. It teaches the worth, the capabilities and the possibilities of the Negro in the work of organization, without which no race nor cause can long survive. Organization, since the incipiency of man's real progress, has been the motor force for his advancement and has further and to a higher degree eventuated from this advancement as this organization has been purified, strengthened and perfected So that every effort for uphit and reform, whether social, political or religious has found its chief safeguard and hope for perpetuation in the character of its organization and the men comprising the same. "In these organizations which have lived, men have sought for the elimination of weaknesses, crudeness and non-essentials, and striving for the converse have placed leadership in the hands of these most worthy and enlightened. As a result, these organizations have made great leaders and in turn have seen their greatest development under the direction of such leaders. A race, environed as we were, Do You Want Money?

They rule in that the things for which they wrought are lminous and instinct with life, and that their undying priciples lay hold on individuals and governments when they would stray and lift them to highr thoughts and nobler aims Those men who preached for justice and equality before the law gave in spiration to a race emerging from the wilderness, less than half a century ago and four million freedmen following their preachments, appreciative of their efforts, have marched toward progress and a better day In order that this might be fully accomplished, legislation was necessary to protect these people in the enjoyment of their rights and privileges, enabling them to succeed. "The freedom of these people was accomplished in the clash of battle A change in the social fabric was made by the stern arbitrament of arms. Legislation was necessary that the Negro's status might be fully fixed in the government. Men saw that for him there was no real liberty until he was panoplied with all the rights of an American citizen. Then came the passage of the war amendments, the first of which made legal the Emancipation Proclamation and prevented the putting into force of vagrancy laws passed by Southern states, which in effect reduced the Negro to a condition of bondage. "This legislation had in view the prohibition of peonage, which has grown to such enormous proportions and which iniquity is being stamped out vigorously by the administration of President Roosevelt. "The Fourteenth amendment fixed for the first time in the history of the American Republic the constitutional requirements for citizenship and provided for the penalization of such states as might undertake to disfranchise the race. which, until within half century ago had no national leaders no organizations ramifying our entire national life, was forced to prove itself in a world of organization. "Demonstration alone could satisfy the query—Is the Negro capable of organization? It is no flattery to say that your order as much as any organization of the race has answered this question affirmatively and conclusively "Civilization is advancing by the methods you have employed. This civilization, today the accumulated greatness of century grown world, gives to us the highest form of individual culture, its flower and fruit. "The men sitting before me show the vast step from the serf to the man. These Negro people are men, and their manhood should call for all the rights enjoyed by any other people—for them and for this country there should be no discriminatory laws should be equally applied. "It is not too much to ask that this be the rule of action of our common country, as it must of necessity be the rule of action of any order carrying out your principles of 'friendship, love and truth.' "It is not too much to suppose that the race leaders—members of this order—and you are all vitally interested in all these things which go to make up our racial development, and that the purposes of this order and the life purposes of its members are to be a source of uplift to the tremendous struggle and remarkable progress being made by these people of whom we are all a part. After wishing the greatest success and prosperity to your order, we shall pass to a discussion of these questions which affect you and affect us all and without which the highest individual progress—the finest possible success for your order are impossible; the question of how best to secure for all the people of America fair play in the race of life. Contemporaneous with your remarkable growth and achievement. has been the upward tendency of the American Negro. You have prospered as he has prospered, and be cause of this prosperity, and he in turn has developed because such or organizations as yours have furnished a medium by means of which he might develop. Our country develop. America will be great and free when its 80,000,000 people without regard to color are prosperous and free. This country of ours, the outgrowth of the efforts of men through the "The fifteent amendment sought to make still more secure the Negro's right to vote and provided for a Cengressional method of enforcing that right. "The justification of these war amendments is to be seen in the subsequent efforts to deprive a loyal, faithful class of that which should be the inalienable right of every citizen, the right to a free ballot and a fair count. "The great men of that time who enacted this legislation could not forget that in war and in peace, on sea or on land, where danger most lurked, where privation held sway, the Negro had ever been faithful and true. They realized further that the American Republic which had been a living contradiction in that it stood for liberty while half slave and half free, would in time find the words, 'liberty, fraternity and equality meaningless. Taey realized that you cannot make a man good and great without giving him real liberty—liberty of body, mind and soul, and that a republic such as ours, whosoe greatness is alike the wonder and admiration of the civilized world, there can be no master and slave, but the regnancy of an enlightened conscience must operate in the control of all its affairs. "The question is being propounded shall the people rule? I reply on behalf of the ten million Negroes in America that we shall be pleased and most fortunate to see the people rule. "I ask the propounder of this question to whom does he refer as 'people' Does he mean the white people, the colored people or all the people? I ask, do the people rule? Do they rule where men are distranchised? Do they rule where minorities deny to majorities the right to ballot and pass discriminatory laws to still fur ther humiliate and subjugate this majority in its helplessness I ask again, if he means that all the people shall rule without regard to race or color as the organic law of the land demands. Do the people rule where mobs wreak their fury and vengeance on the helpless and go unwhipped of justice? Fully conscious of these injustices throughout the country, realizing the untoward conditions among many of our race, we must go forth to the task of lifting them to higher offorts and a nobler conception of life and its duties. We must train them out of the lower self into the higher self, out of the ignoble into the noble They must be placed on the march toward progress by teaching them the value of industry, robriety, decency and orderliness in every life. We must labor to reform the criminal element of the race—not that this is more our duty than that of any other race with its criminal element, but but that the crimes of this element are made to reflect upon the better element of the race in a greater de gree than is true of any other race "We save ourselves by rescuing these. The humanitarian phase would suggest that we help a weaker brother. More vitally essential, however, that the work of reformation is the work of reformation is the work of prevention, and this must be accomplished by the proper training of the youth of the race. Our boys must be taken from the streets and from illness which leads to come, and developed in brain, body and soul that they may form a better type of American citizenship, and become indispensable to the progress of our American life The emperor man takes his place natural, makes of the spring and since he thus helps society and by the uplifting influence enurns is strengthened by the elec tivated empaionship which it brings work for larger things than mer tative male We work for larger things than race or country We work for all humanity This is a great age—an age when only supe rior mental ability gives rank, place and power and he who is best pre par of will find his way to leadership, self reliance and a just appreciation by his fellow man I. I must resolve that we shall stand for better things in life that by a same positive conservative policy we shall be ever advancing and learning the race a new moral strength and lotty ideavor which leads to achievement. "The problems of our large cities the tenement house question, the reaching our for those whose lives are not tone ed by the refining influences, should and appeal to your great organization. "In this great work of rescue and reform you shall find the greatest opportunity and win great laurels. "I am hopeful, ever hopeful, with regards to the future of the Negro --- in America. With his professional m en winning honor and competency in all the avenues of life, with his artisans filling the necessary and var led places in the industrial life of the nation, with his thousand, thou and homes, with his children in the schoo ls, with his realty holdings in city and on the farm, making him a t ax payer on millions of dollars worth of property, with his adjustability, patience, bouyancy and present ac complishments along all lines, his final success is assured. "In this upward struggle he has as before had the sympathy and help of thousands of the best men of the white race in the country. I would urge a continuous cultivation of this friendship by conduct and sanity of expression, avoiding the attitude of the truckler, having contempt for the coward, no less than putting behind you at all times the violently radical, who either knowingly or unwittingly widens the breach between the two races and harms both. "I would a manliness, the result of real worth and merit, which speaks for itself and demands its portion far more eloquently than words. "Be not deceived by the specious plea of the demagogue or the flatterer, but well poised and well rounded as a result of proper training, let us keep ourselves in harmony with the onward march of our country's progress and prove a potent, acceptable factor in all her development."

Never before in the history of the school has the department become so crowded as was the case during the opening week this year. From almost every important county in Kansas new and old students have come in blocks of three, four and five to take advantage of the unusual opportunities afforded at this institution. The enrollment this year will run almost to 400 with 290 last year The organization of school work, religious and literary societies and daily faculty talks is completed, and already a high standard of school life has been attained. The beautifying of the chapel inside, the inspiring equipment of the boys and girls trades buildings, and the steady stream of new students pouring in makes the Western University the pride and joy of every father and mother who visit here. Miss Essay Jean Vernon, teacher of history, is a soprano of very creditable ability. She sang before students and teachers in chapel last Monday morning. Mr. Ned O'Bannion of Topeka was among our many visitors this week. He is one of the brainy young colored men of Kansas. and was deeply impressed with what we are accomplishing here for the futu e good of the race. LINCOLN, NEB. J. W.

SPRINGFIELD, MO Mr. Gilbert Blakey, 58 years old, a respected citizen and a devout Christian was laid to rest Friday afternoon in South Hazelwood cemetery. Funeral services were held at Gibson chapel and conducted by the Rev Fosner, pastor. Relatives and friends mourn his demise. Mrs. Lucinda Smith, mother of Mesdames Wilburn, Smith and Cooper has been quite sick but is reported as some better at this writing. Mrs. S. A. G. Campbell entertained very prettily for her son Wendell, who departed for Ohio to attend Wilberforce University. Mieses Alda and Blanch Johnson returned to Barrell school. Floren.e. Ala, where they will teach, Miss Alda hauing taught there last year Miss B. K. Morrison was the recipient of many rich and costly gifts presented her by students, teachers, parents and friends before her departure. They chose this way to express their great appreciation and to show the high esteem in which she was held, for her noble and untiring services along all lines. A beautiful handkerchief shower was given at the home of Miss Eva Cobb recently in honor of the bride elect, Miss Edieth Bonce. Many beautiful h'kls and linen pieces were received. Miss Marie Andrews, graduate of last year is quite helpful as an assistant teacher. Mrs. T. C. Greenstreet of Kansas City was visiting Mrs. Jas. Hardrick for a few days, before returning home. She will also visit her mother at Memphis, Tenn. As Mrs. Greenstreet took her departure, Mrs R. A. Vaughn of Chicago, sister of Mrs. Hardrick, came to visit her for several weeks. That is nice, as it will not leave her alone, since Miss Morrisbn's departure. Fortunately Mrs. Vaughn enroute here met Miss Morrison, her sister in Kansas City, whom she has not seen for five years. Mrs. Vaughn is looking fine and her friends are glad to meet her again. The hose shower given by Mrs. Edmondson and daughter, Miss Emmia, and Mrs. B. B. Cooper was quite a success and well attended. Miss Edieth Bonce or rather Mrs. Davis now is well supplied in that line, having many pairs and all the colors of the rainbow. Miss Coleman, graduate of Wilberforce, Ohio, who comes well recommended, has been elected as assistant principal instructor of Lincoln High School. She is now at her post of duty. Mrs. Amanda Campbell of Denver, Colo. has been indisposed during her visit here, we trust she may soon feel better, so as to enjoy her stay. BANTER SPRINGS Prof W. W, Fisher, Fiscal Agent of the Western University, lectured at the Masone Hall Saturday evening, September 19, to a responsive and appreciative audience. The crowd was by no means adequate to the eloquence exhibited by the Professor. In the exodium of his remarks he ably discussed the potential government, from which he amutrably coalesced into his connection with the Western University; their present enrollment of over two hundred and a bright prospect of exceeding the three hundred limit by the close of the incoming week He told the youth how nice it is for the young man or girl, who possibly had no incentive to finish a full course in the average grammar grade, or high school, but so readily grasp the idea of attaining an Industrial Institute and that which makes his true personal worth a man or woman of great saving qualities, who could, from the use of a few simple things, such as the ten time from a copious dinner, make a new dish which would be equally palatable to the most fardideous taste. How the boy or girl came to the Institute with his personal value at a dollar and a half, and by the end of the term had en WESTERN UNIVERSITY The Great Educaional Institution for Kansas and the West DEPARTMENTS:-- Theological, College, Normal, Sub-Normal and State Normal.

Such, for example, was the beautiful suit which the Professor donned and which was the product of an ambitious student of the Western University. Our attention was next enlisted in the cause of the Republican administration which, was very ably discussed and reviewed, from Alpha to Omega. The Professor cited the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments to the U. S. Constitution, all of which were fruits plucked from the Republican administration. He invited the casual observer to go with him from California to Maine, then from Canada to the Mason and Dixon's line, and he defied anyone to cite him a state within the said limits, controlled by Republicans, that ever made a Jim Crow car law. [Applause.] He said the reason he loved the party so dearly, he was born under its jurisdiction and had it not been so he would have sought his earliest opportunity to have been born over. There are a few bad men in all concerns, says the Professor, the Republican as well as the Democratic party. As for example, they occasionally slip into the church. They will repent and tell the preacher they have religion, and although he may maintain a suspicion that they have none. All he can do is to extend to them the right hand of fellowship. In the same manner, a Democrat slips into the Republican party for gain. And we must not turn down the entire party for what these few bad men do. [Amen] All the benefits of political equality were given the Negro by the Republicans in power. He further stated that from the time the first gun was fired at Ft. Sumpter to the time Lee surrendered at Appomattox in 1865, not one was fired by Jeff Davis or any of his colleagues for the absolute benefit of the Negro and that there Negro Democrats should go to the South where their party is in majority and there demand an office. Or they need not go so far as that; just take in hour's ride and arrive in the newly formed state ofklahoma. Then and there demand the Governor to give them a special car as they were Democrat Negro and did not care or do in the same car as their Republican contemporaries, and of course their request would be met—but low? We can see the Governor according to their demands! The Professor did not attempt to proselytize one in to the Republi in belief the simply presented facts and allowed the tren to be his own judge and jury. PR.1. EDWARD TH.
