THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER 100 . 100 . 100 . ROOSEVELT WILL INVESTIGATE JIM CROW The Plaindealer Man Calls His Attention to Oklahoma-It Will Be Fully Investigated. The colored people of Oklahoma and the United States should be proud of the effort made by the President and the Department of Justice to bring Haskell and his "jim crowites" into line with respect to the rights of the colored people, who should have the same treatment as any other race on public thoroughfares when they pay the same fare. Colored people are not particular about riding in the same coach with white people, but they do demand the same treatment accorded a first-class passenger. While railroads are but common carriers and not able to provide for individuals, that is no reason why a lot of whites should delegate the power to own and control the railroads to the detriment and humiliation of the colored people. There is a class of uneducated, half-raised, poor whites who, upon boarding a train, and finding a Negro passenger on board, begin to turn up their noses and create confusion because the Negro probably, is dressed better or has better behavior than they. There are always extenuating circumstances which apply to both races. If this matter of separation is for the comfort and health as well as sanitary condition of the passengers, it would be well for this to be left to the conductor. It seems to work a hardship to the railroads to provide separate Pullman, dining and chair car service for colored passengers, as the per cent of travel is largely a favor of the whites, thus encurring unnecessary expense. W therefore recommend that as the inter-state law is so plain that a wayfaring man cannot err, it is up to the rairoads to see to it that no such passenger is interfered with by those "hill.billies and sand lappers" of the South. The southern white is no better than a northern white, and is not entitled to any more rights than he. We hope the colored people who ride through these states will stay in the coach in which they start, and that should be in one of equal accommodations to those for whites. You are not compelled to accept dirty, filthy, end cosies, with all classes of people, and if you sit still and demand your rights, let the conductor force you off if he so desires, or let him arrest you; you have recourse at law, both criminal and civil. You will see by the front tenor of a letter furnished by the President that he means business and all of these matters will be amicably adjusted if the colored people will only insist. But, if they tuck their tails and run away like rabbits and quail, we who are trying to bring about the desired results cannot hope to accomplish anything. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER. 23, 1968. Topeka, Kane., Sept. 16, '08. THEODORKE RORREVELT. President U. S. A. Washington, D. C. HONORED SIR:— Inclosed find copy of a letter recently sent to U. S. District Attorney at Guthrie, Oklahoma, which explains itself, and from which we have received no reply. We would be under many obligations to you if you will use your good offices with the Department of Justice in giving us some information on this proposition. There are a number of things connected with this interstate commerce commission that are working hardships with the colored people of Kansas who travel from Kansas into Oklahoma, Texas and other southern states. They are often placed in very embarrassing circumstances—being arrested by officers who pretend that interstate passengers, if they be colored, have no rights in the chair car. We would like for this matter to be passed upon once for all, so that there will be no farther doubt regarding colored passengers going into those states having these laws. Remembering your oft quoted expression of "A square deal for every man," we know that you will use your good offices in the Negro's behalf. With best wishes, I am, You're with great respect, Nick Chiles, Editor, THE TOPERA PLAINDEALER. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. Office of the United States Attorney Western District of Oklahoma. GUTHRIE. October 13, 1908. N. CHILES, Editor Top KA PLAINDLALER, Topeka, Kan. I am in possession by reference from the Attorney General, at the request of the President, of your letter to the President of September 16th, referring to your letter to me of September 2, 1908, in which you complain that the Sheriff at Enid, Oklahoma, interfered with the interstate commerce traffic by going into a coach and arresting citizens of Kansas, seizing and searching them and ejecting them from the coach, afterwards refusing to take them into custody, and also using insulting language which was disrespectful to parties in this coach I desire that you furnish me a specific statement, showing the names of the persons ejected, character of the coach from which such persons were ejected, the railroad on which this coach was being carried, the name of the conductor and other train officers which you may be able to secure, the reasons, if any, given by the sheriff for his conduct, the character of the coach from which these passengers were ejected as to cleanliness, comfort and safety; and if they were colored interstate passengers, advise me of the points between which they were travelling, the character of coach which was attached to this train for colored passengers, giving specific description of the coaches set apart for white passengers and the coaches set apart for colored passengers in all matters which pertain to their cleanliness, comfort and safety. We shall begin the investigation of the matter at Enid, and desire this specific information from you so we may know more definitely the course to pursue in the investigation. Very Respectfully, JOHN EMURY, U. S. Attorney. W. J. BRYAN IS COWED! REFUSES, IN FEAR, TO MAKE PUBLIC QUESTIONS SUBMITTED TO HIM BY BRUCE L. KEENAN OF TAHLEQUA, OKLA. William J. Bryan and his national democratic campaign committee are covertly attempting to secure the support of negro voters. In this extremity to force Mr. Bryan's election upon the country. His campaign managers find themselves close to a powder magazine. They fully understand the attitude of democrats in southern states on the negro question, and know that these democraties would rebel against affiliation with negroes. Mr. Bryan and his managers, however, are hopeful that they may utilize a certain portion of the negro votes in northern democratic states, and even in northern republican states, without its being discovered by the democratic voters of the south. It would be interesting to know in detail just what Mr. Bryan and his managers are offering negroes in exchange for their votes. If it be patronage, the southern democrat will have a reckoning on that score at a later day. If patronage has been promised with no intention of keeping the promise, Bryan and his managers would stand discredited as tricksters and political swindlers. If not patronage, the only other offer would be money, and it cannot be believed that Mr. Bryan would indulge in that kind of thing. The truth is, Mr. Bryan and his managers have nothing to offer the negro in exchange for his vote. They cannot give the negroes office, and they would not dare give them anything else, even if the negro would be willing to accept it. Though seeking votes Mr. Bryan does not dare publicly to declare his views on questions that affect the negro race. Bruce L. Keenan of Tahlequa, nominee for presidential elector on the republican ticket in Oklahoma, addressed not long ago a letter to Mr. Bryan that put the latter sincerity to a severe test. Mr. Bryan received the letter but did not reply to it. Keenan pledged himself to vote for Mr. Bryan if the latter would make public his views on any seven proposals. Mr. Keenan's of-fer was an follows; 1 State if you approve in a general way the course of northern sentiment on the race question, as indicated by constitutional and legislative enactments on the suffrage question respecting franchises, and if you would approve a change in the national constitution so that this program could be said to be within and not without the constitution. If you approve this course of your southern allcs I will support you for having the courage to say so; if you do not approve this course of the "solid south," and will say so, I will support you for having the courage to tell them wherein they are wrong. The Thirteenth amendment to the federal constitution abolished slavery; the Fourteenth gave civil rights to the freed people; the Fifteenth prohibited suffrage on diss qualification on account of race. 2 If you believe these amendments incorrectly prescribe the political and civil rights of the negro race, and I will indicate the error, I will support you for having the courage of your convictions to speak on the subject On the other hand if you believe that these amendments correctly define the civil and political rights of the negro race, then I will support you for having the courage to say so. 3. If you will give your approval to Oklahoma Senate Bill No.1, declaring that the immediate safety and peace of the state of Oklahoma depends upon separating the negro from the white man and the Indian in railroad waiting rooms and passenger coaches, then I will support you, provided you will have the courage at the same time to say why you never thought it necessary to advocate the "Jim Crow" railroad laws and separate schools in your own state of Nebraska. 1. If you believe there is a ne gro issue in the south, and define what that issue is so that there may be a moderately fair understanding of the issue, then I will support you for the courage you may have in such a task. 5. If you will make clear that there is any national political issue on the negro question, pointing out where the northern and southern democrats are united, and that this issue is opposed to a like issue of the republicans, then I will vote for you for your discernment in being able to find such an issue in national politics. On the other hand, if there is no defined national issue between the parties, marking a living and district national policy, and you will tell your southern adherents that such in the case I will support you for this act of courgeous candor. 6. If you will come to the south and make speeches to the negroes on the issues of political economics, or if you will have published addresses along the line of your interview, appealing to the negro for his support on the question of the tariff, for example, and will circulate these political documents, among the colored race, to influence his vote by "appealing to his intelligence as well as his patriotism," then I will vote for you for this act of high devotion to duty. 7. Men like Senator Tillman, who say that the negro has no right to any franchise, and that to control the negro it is necessary to use the shot gun, the bull whip and the educational and grandfather restriction, and that when these fail other means will be invented to prevent the negro from voting, certainly must be facing an issue that ation of Property requires the use of such measures. If not, they are attempting to overthrow the liberties of a race of people. In view of the fact that Senator Tillman is an aggressive and outspoken leader of the south, representative, and not exceptional, and an devoted adherent of youre, will you say just to what extent you share his views on this question? If you will be explicit wheacin you agree and wherein you disagree with Tillman, I will support you. This would involve your saying just what franchise a negro is entitled to, if any. ATCIIISON KAS.
