UPEKA PLAINDEALER With Judge Taft, Bishop Grant and the A.M.E.Conference in Town, the Republicans Have Kansas! A COMMON SENSE VIEW OF THE SCHOOL STRIKE! VOLUME X. The Journal and Capital Voice the Sentiment of the Best Class of Whites. The late detection of a few white pupils from the grade schools of Topeka and dignified by the pretentious name of a strike forms a ridiculons incident in connection with Topeka school history. The authorities are wise in not giving too much attention to it. The white pupils who have left the schools should be sent qack to their desks immediately by the unwise parents who have not already done so, or who have abetted the juvenile insurrection. These insubordinate pupils who would run the schools regardless of the law and the equal rights of all children of school age should be switched or spanked and sent back to their books. If they do not appear very soon in their usual seats the truant officer should be dispatched forthwith to the homes of the recalcitrants. That should settle the matter. The ridiculous position of the striking pupils and parents lies in the fact that all children, regardless of color, are entitled to equal school privileges. If the "strikers" could by any remote impossibility accomplish what they foolishly set out to do, namely, to drive the colored children from the school rooms, the city would forthwith have to practically duplicate at enormous expense its entire school equipment, including buildings and instructors, and including both the high schools, for the colored pupils are as much entitled to public instruction paid for out of the taxes levied upon both the whites and the blacks. The outcome of the matter would be that for the sake of eliminating a small proportion, as a rule, of the colored students, the white people would have to pay more than four-fifths of the additional taxes necessary to duplicate our scool system aside from the few colored schools now in use where the colors are separated like Monroe and Washington schools. The whole business is a tempest in a teapot and it will be up to the truant officer and his official weapons to care of the situation, unless the "revolutionists" do not at once return to their readers, riters and 'ruthmetics. It should be a prompt resumption of the three "r's," above named or a strenuous application by Truant Gage of the Rules for Ready Rolief available by the authorities when such symptoms appear as those which came to the surface in educational circles in Topeka last week -The State Journal. THE SCHOOL STRIKE Of the few really ridiculous happenings which have occurred in Topeka in recent years the one which is entitled to first place among them is the "strike" of the white children in the upper grades in the grammar schools because of their disinclination to attend classes in which there are Negro children. This proceed- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER. 2, 1968. 1 ing of the youngeters ought not to be dignified by being called a "strike" It is nothing more nor less than an exhibition of sheer impudence on their part which should not be tolerated for an instant. That it is tolerated to a certain degree and by the parents of these unruly children, for they surely would not dare to absent themselves from their classes as they have done, unless it was with the tacit consent of their elders is exceedingly disgraceful. And particularly disgraceful is it to these self same parents. They should have better sense than to permit their young to so openly defy the authority and discipline of their teachers The question as to whether or not white and Negro children should be taught in the same classes in public schools is a debatable one, but more so in communities other than Topeka where the proportion of the population is in favor of the Negroes. There are good and sufficient arguments both for and against the mingling of the races, in schools as in other things. But the concensus of opinion is that no particular harm is done the children of either race by their being sent to the same schools. In the very nature of things the school children of both races hold aloof from each other in their games, pastimes and in other social ways outside of school hours and during the hours of school there is not much chance for them to associate in an intimacy that will prove detrimental in any way to either. But the more potent point in the case at hand is that there are hardly a sufficient number of colored children attending the upper grades in the Topeka schools to warrant their segregation. This same condition maintains in all the cities throughout the land, except in some in the far South where the Negro population is greatly in excess of the white And in other places in the country where the moral tone of the people is quite on the level with that of Topekans the white children and the same classes without a thought of either affecting or harming the other. And that is as it should be in this city. Topeka could all afford now, or at any time in view of the already unusual and burdensome sums of money that it is spending annually for the support of the schools, to provide separate school accommodations for the education of the smaller number of Negro children who continue in school up into the higher grades. Such a thing is almost out of the question. So while it may be distasteful for some white children to associate in school with Negroes, and also distasteful to their parents to have them, a situation confronts them which cannot well be avoided and they should make the best of it. But the chances are that this "strike" is not due so much to the fact that the presence of Negro children in the class room is distasteful to the white children, as it is to the inclination of the latter to be "smart." It's a 'smartness" that they should be made to smart for by their parents in a way that they will long remember. And if their parents do not do their full duty in the premises and bring the "strike" to a sudden end they are hardly worthy of being blessed with children. Topeka State Journal JOHN H. HARRIS JUDGE W. H Taft. Next President of the United. Who Will Be the Guest of Topeka Tomorrow and Sunday LEO XIII MINING COMPANY Incorporated Under the Laws of New Mexico Capital Stock of $500, 000, Owns and is Developing Six Claims of 120 Acres. The Silver City Independent, the leading white journal of Silver City, N. M., near the location of our mines, has the following to say concerning the property of the company: "The Leo XIII group of mining claims near Pierro and the old town of Hanover are finely situated and constitute an aggregation of locations which has attracted the attention of eastern capitalists, who are now busily engaged in developing their valuable properties. The estate is bounded on the east by the Phelps, Dodge & Co. holdings which include the old Hanover mine and on the southeast by the famous Modoe group of claims, and on the southwest by the celebrated Anson S. belonging to Brockman & Co., and on the west by the well and favorably known Ashenfelter group of claims, respectively named Leo XIII, Leo XIII No. 1, Leo XIII No. 2, Holly Cross and San Lorenzo, which have been recently incorporated under the name of the Leo PIII Copper Mining Company. The incorporators consist of J. J. Jones, Dr. J A Mason of Vinita, Okla and Henry Woods of Central, and associates. The development consist of 1500 linear feet on the group and is divided into shifts, aggregating 100 feet have beenunk on the Leo XIII, showing up an are vein three feet thick, consisting of copper and iron, carrying commercial values in gold and silver. The deepest of these is 60 feet from the surface and presents an attractive showing of mineral values. On Leo XIII No. 2 a tunnel or drift has been driven in more a distance of 150 feet, all of which carries copper averaging 7 p.c. ten to twelve dollars in gold and 23 ounces of silver per ton. The Woods shaft, on shaft No. 1, is 80 feet in depth and is producing shipping ore in commercial quantities from the 30-inch vein; on shaft No. 2, a vein of ten feet, yields a rich and valuable ore carrying gold, silver and copper. On the same claim a tunnel 60 feet in length exposes mineralized matter in cross cuts upwards to 40 feet in width, through which is disseminated veinlets of copper pyrites, which assays have shown to contain 800 in gold. The entire width of mineralized matter in the cross cut averages well and is a very desirable smelting ore by reason of the iron and lime it carries. On Leo MIII No. 2 the opening consists of initial labor only, which present strong indications of striking commercially valuable copper or extended development. The San Lorenzo claim has been partially developed by five shafts, ranging from 20 to 60 feet in depth each of them showing melting one of good shipping grade. The one exposures, consisting mainly of copper, will be extremely valuable as a fluxing agent and ranges from 10 to 15 feet in width. The Holy Cross Shift has been runk in ore from the grass roots to its present depth of 10 feet, and is producing from a two foot vein highly profitable shipping grade of smelting ore. The ore from the Holy Cross carry copper, silver and gold, in the order in which they are named, and each foot of sink shows greater values and quantities of mineral. The company operating this group mines which have for many years attracted the attention of mine and prospectors of the neighborhood, and the development now augmented by the newly in operated company will certainly result in the opening of a dividend paying NUMBER 40 property, and that, too, in a very short time. OPPORTUNITY In knocking at your door and now is your chance to invest in the stock of this rich company. LISTEN! In the article you have just read you saw the developments which have been already made, these developments have been made by individual efforts, without the aid of machinery. It is the purpose of the new corporation to continue these developments on a larger scale by the use of modern machinery and to that end the management has placed 100,000 shares of the company's stock on the market at 50 per cent of its par value or 50 cents per share. We believe it a conservative statement to say, that in the light of past experience, in less than six months this stock will be worth above par. You will, perhaps, never have another opportunity to get a few shares of this stock at no small a cost Another beautiful feature about the Leo XIII property is its railroad facilities. Situated, as it is, about 1 12 mile west of Hanover. The Santa Fe is easily reached and many tons of ore from these mines have been shipped from that point. Before buying mining stock it is always safe to know something the shipping facilities of the company whose stock you are about to purchase. A great opportunity is open to a few competent young men and women to represent this company. Address all communications to the president, JACOB J, JONES, Brown Building, Mushogee, Okla.

Dr Lee grove his automobile and made some very interesting runs during their journey, which covered 917 miles. They killed 104 cubs and 70 prairie chickens. They hunted mostly in Kiowa, Stafford and Pratt counties. On their way they stopped at Lyons and were the guests of Miss Grace Taylor and her parents. Miss Taylor joined the party at this point and rode 100 miles to Pratt the distance being covered in four hours. Forty miles was driven in the rain. Manhattan, Junction City and Great Bend were important points passed en route to Pratt. While in this city they were the guests of Mr. George Williams, one of the weal hustle located farmers and largest land owners in Kansas, owning more than a thousand acres of land. They returned to Popeka by way of Kingman and Wichita. On one occasion they engaged in a race with a U. P passenger train, beating it in a four mile race. Coming from Wichita to Popeka they rode 225 miles covering the distance in eight hours. The trip was certainly all but could be expected from every point of view. D.

The ground for a Home for Superannuated Ministers, a half block in the most valuable part of the city of Colorado Springs, has been scouted by Rev J. W. Braxton, of General Palmer, for the erection of a building for this purpose. This was reported by Elder Braxton to the conference, which body adopted plans for its government. The recent Colorado conference submitted $1,059 for the beginning of the building, Bishop Grant leading off with $100.

COLORADO ANNUAL CONFERENCE. A. M. E. CHURCH. This conference has just closed a most interesting session, Bishop Abram Grant presiding. The reports were all above previous years and although all the points in montana were given to the Puget Sound conference the Dollar money was $1,300, nearly one hundred dollars more than last year. The other reports were advanced in proportion. The conference was well attended and was highly entertained by the pastor, Rev J. W. Braxton, and his people.

What has become of the white minister and his religion? None of them seem to care what becomes of his colored brother. The A. M. E. church is holding its annual conference in Topeka and we have our first time to see a white minister of this city in attendance. We have contended all along that the average white minister has no religion only that which serves his purpose. We hope the colored clergy will be as dignified and independent as the white brethren. If they don't want you to preach in their pulpits don't ask to yours. Perhaps they have found a new Heaven a separate place from his colored brother. PUBLICATION NOTICE.

OTTAWA The Sunflower State Agricultural Association met here last week and it was one of the largest meetings ever held. The attendance was large and the meeting proved of great interest to all. The session opened on Wednesday and closed on Friday. Several interesting papers along agricultural lines were read, which showed careful study along the lines of farming and stock raising. Prof. J. C. Kendall of the State Agricultural college, lectured on dairying and Prof. P. E. Crabtree on farming and live stock, that both of these gentlemen are well versed on the science of agriculture was easily determined by the masterly way in which they handled their subjects. We advise all colored farmers who can go into this organization to do so, as it is gaining favor daily, and proving of much benefit to the race. One session of the meeting was held in Raubaugh opera house where an interesting musical program was rendered. Mine. E B. Lowry, of Kansas City and Miss M. I. Overstreet of Blue Rapids, both solonists of prominence, rendered some fine selections. Dr. Unthank lectured on sanitation, which was a very beneficial subject and had its effect. Such talks as these are necessary and are very much in need. Addresses of welcome were made by E. Crith and Percy Lewis, and responses by Attorney General Dawson and Sip; of Insurance Barnes. A number of wealthy farmers were in attendance, among whom were B. Woods, the "big mule man" of Chase county, who lectured on stock-raising and E E Spotwell of Garnett, who produced the largest corn and onions ever seen in Kansas. THIS PAPER FREE for three mouths.

THE SCHOOL BOARD'S A few half-raised white children, led by some Jewish children whose parents were merely exiles from Jerusalem tried to draw the color line in the public schools last week. These Jewish people have no control over their children nor any respect for the laws of this country. The superintendent of the schools and the board of education are to be commended for the manly stand taken in defense of the schools, i.e., those who do not want their children to attend public schools can keep them at home. Elsewhere in this issue we reproduce editorials from the Topeka State Journal and the Topeka Capital which are commendable and speak for fair play in the education of both races. The sooner this class of vicious whites who can only gain notoriety by holding up trains or drawing the color line, are relegated, the better it will be for the better class of citizens, both colored and white. They must know this is not Mississippi or Texas, and that all men stand equal before the law in Kansas. ```markdown ``` "Praise God from whom all blessings flow," and for the many good deeds that are performed for those who work and pray. Gov J N Haskell, the first and only real Jim Crow governor in this country, has been dethrowned and cast aside for his disreputable acts. He has fallen so hard and is looked upon as one of the smallest men in all this country. Yesterday he was perched away up in the councils of the Democrat party, and was looked upon as the law giver from Moses, but today, behold him as he lies prostrate at the feet of that mighty giant, Theodore Roosevelt and that great journalist, William R Heast who has succeeded in showing up the true qualities of this man Haskell. So small has he become in the eyes of the people, that he is not looked upon as much as the most abject, ignorant, honest Negro whom he "just crowed" when he first took his seat as governor of the state of Oklahoma. This same Negro would have more respect for President Roosevelt than this outlaw whom President Roosevelt claims has robbed the Greeks of their land and accepted money from the Standard Oil and other trusts. So many violations of trust and honesty has he been charged with that the people were ignorant, until his dishonesty was unearthed by William Heast. Now his attorney general and scores of other Oklahomaans say he is dishonest, that he is not sincere, but nothing more or less than a four-slusher, bull dozer and bragger. C! how the mighty has fallen! These same Negrnes whom he tried to disfranchise and humiliate, will long live in Oklahoma and have a good standing in the estimation of all this country when Haskell and his like are forgotten "Jim Crow" people and "Jim Crow" governors of hypocritical rebel tendencies, cannot expect to stand very long in the councils of a respectable people. In our interview sometime ago with Haskell on the Jim Crow' law, we said then that he was uafit to preside as governor over a state like Oklahoma and that he was shrewd, scheming and full of tricks. That it was not so much to "Jim Crow" the Negro as it was to gain favor of that class of poor whites whose object and aim is to enslave the Negro and bar him from his rights and privileges.

DEAR EDITOR: -Please find space in your valuable to publish to the public the theft committed at Iola by one Mr. Jeltz and wife. Jeltz at one time was connected with the Foreva Prain de laurie, now travel in as an agent for Liment made by Jeltz & Sons, Guthrie, Okla. While in Iola they stopped at the home of one of the leading families of our race, Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Banks. From that home an Irish chin pink and white quilt and two pillows best for some under wear, shirts and trousers were taken. We the undersigned, Mr. and Mrs. Banks, desire the entire public to know of the impostor, and beware of them. S. W. Banks GOOD WORD FOR One of the most prominent Negroes in Washington is Charles B. Hall, who for many years has filled an important position in the Bureau of the Census. He has especially interested in the movement to get colored men from the cities out onto the farms, and so to improve the Negroes who are already on the farms. In connection with this work he had frequent occasion last winter to consult with Congressman Scott, chairman of the committee on agriculture, and received a great deal of help and most friendly suggestions from him. It was but natural there fore, that when he learned of Mr. Scott's renomination for Congress he should be pleased, and an Iola friend has furnished us with the following letter of congratulation which will be read with satisfaction by all of Mr Scott's friends in Kansas.

One boy who was bright enough to look after the matter, casned 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. It will pay you to sit up and take notice. "Pride of the Kaw" Flour, none better made. "Pride of the Kaw" makes the best bread. The Shamrock club met at the residence of Mrs. G. W.

THE CAREY INDUSTRIES To attempt in the limited space to do full justice to The Carsey Industries is an impossibility. Emerson Carsey as president of the above companies has brought about one of the most perfect organizations in the entire State of Kansas Here are four distinct enterprises, each one being magnitudinal in its individual scope. The Salt plant has a capacity of 1000 barrels of salt per day. Installed recently in the salt plant is the only quadruple effect vacuum system for the making of salt in the world. The ice plant has a capacity of 80 tons per day. There are one-half million cubic feet of cold storage place and triplicate machinery works on all cold storage buildings and should there be two distinct break-downs the plant would not be incapaciated. Five car loads of coal, brick, lime and cement are handled every day in the year, also one car of bridge. It required fifteen cars each day during the year 1907 to handle the various products. The weekly pay roll of the four companies amounts to $1,500 a week. Natural gas is used for fuel and one and one quarter million cubic feet of gas are consumed every twenty four hours. Should you ever visit the city of Hutchinson, the Carsey Industries should certainly be visited. A WARNING! 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 C, and if the people are caught in this trap they will be right to Bryan Haskell and P. Brown with out 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 vce for Bryan A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG MEN WHO DESIRE AN AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION Many of the young men who have unshod the course in agriculture at the Luskegee Institute are commanding salaries ranging from $50 to $100 per month.
