THE 1013KA PLAINDEALER Undoing the Work of Lincoln and Sumner Brewer and Six Other Members of the United States Supreme Court Uphold the South's Method of Oppression and Brutality. VOLUME X. Undoing the of Lincoln Brewer and Six Other United States Uphold the Sou Oppression a The highest court in the United States has decided in favor of state rights—something for which thaands of lives were sacrificed and millions of dollars were expended in the preservation of the Union and equal rights for all mankind before the law. What the South fought and contended for in 1863 and lost, the last court of resort in this nation is now restoring to them The South claims that the Negro is not a citizen and should not exercise the elective franchise. The court held in the Alabama case that the South was right. The South claimed that the Negro was not entitled to civil and political rights; the court agreed. The South considers that respectable and progressive Negroes are no better than the criminal element of the race, and that they should be Jim Crowed in filthy railroad cars and steamboats and sleep in the streets and alleys with money in their pockets to pay hotel bills. The court said it was right and declared the civil rights bill unconstitutional. A few wealthy white people established a college in Kentucky to educate the Negroes. The white teachers taught their own children along with the colored students and the state of Kentucky passed a law against such a pernicious (?) action. The friends of the school appealed to the highest court and a decision was made against the school because colored people were interested. This is a habit of the court. The colored people and their white friends should not be armed or become discouraged. Hamn built his own seafold. Jeff Davis was blind to his own interests. There is not another country in the world where communities, cities or states have absolute control over the rights and liberties of the citizens. In all the reputable forms of honest government the whole people enjoy equal rights before the law. The public carrier and vendor have to respect the rights of all citizens. The municipal form of government affords more satisfaction and less lurmon to those who live under it than that of the United States. Our courts conform to the customs, prejudices and wishes of the favored class. All honest, Christian people know that it is wrong to enact or to uphold class legislation. Much honor is due Justices Harlan and Day, who dissented Mr. Harlan was appointed by Lincoln and he still believes in and carries out Lincoln's ideas: that all men should be equal before the law. Either Jesus Christ, his doctrine and the Bible are wrong, or the judges who agreed with Justice Brower in this decision are wrong. Which will the people accept? The nine justices held their right TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, NOV.13,1968. hand up to God and kiss his holy Bible, declaring that they would be impartial to all, that they believed that Christ represented all alike, and they swore they would follow his teachings. Seven of them have violated their oath; are they entitled to be called good? We may say, they are not. We hope the good Lord will yet bring a Saul of Tarsus to change them. The supreme court of the United States is doing more to create prejudice between the two races than any other agency, Justice Brewer uphold the idea that where two people cannot agree to what is right a law should be passed to make them do wrong and, that the stronger and more influential party should be favored while the weaker party suffers. This being a private college the white people were angered to see whites and black together there, so they invoked the state law to stop it, notwithstanding the state did not appropriate a cent to its support, The honest thing to do is to make the people respect the law and the courts should uphold the rights of the people, regardless of color or conditions. If this decision were lived up to, every state in could enter into a federation and almost re-et slave the Negro It practically annuls the fourteenth amendment. If the friends of Brew college have not had their rights abridged, then we do not know our name Justice Brewer is from old mummy Kansas, the home of John Brown. We are all used of him and his associates, who desgraced the name of the state author illustrious son The decision follows: In deciding the case of Bora college versus the state of Kentucky favorably to the state, the Supreme court of the United States held that the states of the Union may constitutionally legislate to prevent the codification of the white and black races. The se was insisted to test the validity of the state law of 1901 prohibiting white and black children from attending the same schools. The higher state court took the position that the white and black races are naturally antigonize and that enforcement of separation of the children of the races is in line of the preservation of peace. The opinion of the Supreme court was handed down by Justice Brewer and affirmed the finding of both the Kentucky court and the court of appeals. Justices Harlan and Dry dissented. Justice Brewer's opinion dealt entirely with corporation as affected by the Kentucky statute, and did not consider the question of its applicability to individuals. Proceeding upon the theory that a state has complete control over corporations as its own creation, he then construed the law of 1904 as in effect an amendment to the charter of Berca college. Responding to some of Justice Harlan's strictures, Justice Brewer said: "There is no force in the suggestion that the statute, although clearly separable, must stand or fall as an entirety on the ground that the legislature would not have enacted one part unless it could reach all. That the legislature of Kentucky desired to separate the teaching of white and colored children may be conceded, but it by no means follows that it would not have enforced the separation, so far as it could do so even though it could not make it effective under all circumstances." Contending that it would prove impracticable and unsatisfactory to separate corporate from private schools Justice Harlan in his dissenting opinion said the court should meet the entire question squarely and decide whether it is a crime under any conditions to educate white children and Negro children at the same institution. He did concede that it should be so regarded. 'Have we,' he asked, "become so oculated with prejudice of race that an American government professedly based on the principles of freedom and charged with the protection of all citizens can make distinctions between such citizens in the matter of their voluntary association for innocent purposes simply because of their respective races. "Further, if the lower court be right, then a state may make it a crime for white and colored persons to frequent the same market places at the same time or appear in an assemblage of citizens convened to consider questions of a political nature in which all citizens without regard to race are equally interested" Justice Haulan added he did not want to be understood as criticising the system of separate schools, races, but that his consure was directed at the penal provision of the Kentucky law involved in this case." CONGRATULATORY Chicago, Day after Election Dear Friend: It's all over now. The most raring force, the most exuberant display of吼oe, the grandest exhibit of impudence that was ever paraded before the astonished gaze of the world has at last come to an end and the political bureau man, false prophet, humbug and tikir has been retired to the background The old flag waves in triumph. The country is safe. We are redeemed. Salt has been elected and all citizens can breathe free again. What fearful disaster we have escaped! Misery for the poor; disaster for the well to do in life. The strong common sense of the common people has averted the colony. While many were deceived and misled the great body was open to reason to reason, saw the danger to our country and its bent institutions and built up an impregnable cntadel with their votes against the enemies of liberty, law and order. With their votes they misled the most dangerous conspiracy since the overthrow of the slaveholders' rebel lion. Democracy, mobocracy, ballot box stuffing ocracy, Bryan, Parker, Daniels Vardaman, Hetlin and Tillman exeunt omnes (The curtain falls) You have been an important factor in producing the good results Accept congratulations Bishop Grant's Message of Congratulation to Judge Taft.

It is due to the Negro's progress, and not the problem, for, in my mind this problem, if followed up closely by the Negro, would entertain discussion in no long time. The whites discuss the problem, while the Negro's get more business, acquire land, in the form of farms, city property, and settlements, get the general merchandise, and clothing stores and stores of all kinds. The Negroes, at the same time, are royally entertaining prominent people who look upon their pride, intellect, advancement and general progress, expressed in county and state fairs, and cannot help but commend and acknowledge the fact that great progress is being made by them Inklegge Institute teachers, those who were in attendance, enjoyed a very pleasant evening with Mr. B.

The occasion was a Cane Syrup Candy Pull, and Sweet Potato Roast, on Friday evening. Every one who knows me can touch for it that I received my share of the fun and frolic, as well as the profit to be had. None has surpassed this even ing's entertainment. The Student prints the school's regret to learn the death of Prof. Charles Eliot Norton, of Harvard University, who was always kindly interested in this institution and its principal. We are intensely glad to note that some interest is being taken in the injustice done members of our race who travel in the new state and are treated unfairly. Especially are we glad when we learned that an effort to bring the guilty ones to trial has been started. Returns from the election were announced from the telegrapher's stand in the Chapel, Tuesday night. A perusal of the neway little paper, The Student, a school paper, revealed the fact that Mr. James P. Brook, Mr. Ernest P.

Mrs. Bessie Roane Taylor and Miss Agnes Riley, it is seen, are in the western portion, at Kansas City, Mo, and Enid, Okla, respectively. A Hollow'en party was given at the residence of Mr. Gregory. Many teachers were in attendance. Nice time had. Mr Washington has set to motion an effort to double the endowment fund of Tuskegee Institute. The Chicago Hilton briefly concurs with the principal in his new effort and published a somewhat lengthy editorial concerning the same. SOUTHERN CORRESPONDENCE. Tuskegee Inst., Alt, Nov. 9. Saturday night ended one of the most unventful weeks the South has had for some time. But, yet, things around the Institute were going just the same. It is either this or I have been unable to get much of the news on account of busy days. However, the Macon County Lair, which was held on the sixth and seventh of November, proved to be a great success. On Friday morning things began to move and the Saturday night's close marked what was said by all to be the best county fan the colored people of Macon County have ever held. The new additions of different kinds of exhibits, the many important and distinguished speakers and visitors present, along with the many new and improved kinds of sport and amusement contributed largely to this great success. The speeches of Mr. L. P. Campbell, the speaker of the Big Day—Saturday—Mr. L. Wade, of Alexandria City, Ala., and Mr. Jesse M. Jones, of Montgomery, Ala., formerly of Jola, Kan., mostly enjoyed by the farmers, old and young, men and women, and the children, and all others. That is to say everybody enjoyed them, as they had points in them that will be helpful to all. Mr. Campbell, who is of Washington, D. C., and Mr. J. A. Wade, are agricultural men, employed by the government, and the fair committee consider themselves fortunate indeed in being able to secure the services of such able men. Mr. Jones is a corn specialist, and is doing much to render the quality of corn better, and to make it yield more to the acre. These three men, along with Prof O. W. Porguson, of the Agricultural Institute Department of the Institute, were the judges of the agricultural exhibits. Their decisions were in every case perfectly satisfactory, and every one seemed pleased at the passage of the premiums. The things exhibited in the Agricultural Department were corn, cotton, turpentine, resin, rice, peanuts, ground peas, ground nuts, peas of all kinds, cane including millet and sorghums of all kinds, vinegar, sweet potatoes, lettuce, onions, cabbage, nutabagas, collards, gorkins, pepper, red and green, sugar, hams, bacon and sole meats, and many other things. As for the ladies' exhibit, there was preserves and jellies of all kinds, cakes and other edibles for the contest, home made things such as wash boards, chair bottoms, mattes, horse collars, dress goods, etc. Many other things were on exhibition also at this fair, but time does not permit the mention of them. There were the individual and school exhibits also which attracted much at tention. I especially those of Mrs. T. L. Calloway and Mr. William Hunt As for amusement, there were races, horse, foot and harnwood annual races. Every annual being eligible. These give much delight to all. The parade, which preceded the races, is entitled to a few words of praise. The band boys, and was a success. Mr. Bridgeforth is one of the pushers of the right things for the best of every community. The Macon County Teachers' Association gave a reception in the Agricultural Building Thursday night, which was very enjoyable. Their sessions also was very interesting and profitable. The next thing of great importance is Thank giving. The Southern people can well thank our Gracious Father for a bountiful harvest, all of which has not yet been gathered. People look better now since Mr. Taft has been elected. Many anxious faces awaited the good news. FOR SALE-Lone cabbage f r burrowing. 25 cents dozen. Will not d lver less than four dozen.

Then came the live stock on exhibition, led by the agricultural boys. The others then fell in line and completed the turn out. It was a pretty delightful scene, and after enclosing the track about four times, these pataders gave way for the other good things to come. After the races, the footfall boys entertained. The score resulted 5 to 0 in favor of the first team, but the second team played a fine game. Speaking, at the same time was going on in the enclosure provided for such purposes. Hence there was plenty to keep every one busy looking. After the money, as premiums had been paid the exhibitors began gathering up their products and placing them in their wagons preparatory to leaving, thus winding up what was termed by all "a good old time."

NELSON CREWS AT WESTERN UNIVERSITY Last Thursday and Friday, Nov. 5th and 6th, the church and the State Board of trustees of Western University met to discuss in solemn deliberation the expanding, growing future of this institution. Dr. Vernor, President, had a most splendid report to make as to the extraordinary progress and prosperity of the school. At chapel service Hon Nelson Crews one of the church trustees, was released by Bishop A. Grant, president of the board of trustees, to address the meeting. Mr Crews had lively finished a hard political campaign which brought success to his party and was in the best of spirits and best of voices. Among the many good things he said to the assembled brethren, faculty and students, were as follows: "You are living in a day of progress. The opportunities that you enjoy here are unusual and abundant. Every comfort and advantage is offered you here to gain knowledge and character. Such opportunities as these were not offered to these elderly men who grace and dignify this platform. This beautifully decorated chapel, these splendidly equipped buildings, this strong corps of teachers from the leading schools, and this most liberal State of Kansas whose highest capital is made up of the intelligence of her citizens. Joy unbounded comes to my heart when I remember but three years ago at the dedication of this very building when the present governor, E. W Hoch, lent his presence and good advice to the occasion there also spoke from the same platform another man, W R Stubbs, with words so replete with encouragement and good will to my race and this particular institution. That man has lately been elected to fill the position of governor to the great state of Kansas, and I am sure that under his administration the work at Western University will be given an impetus and a forward stride characteristic only of his noble heart and lofty ideals for progress. With all the blessings, natural advantages and resources with which this great institution is surrounded all would count for naught but for the mind of a great personality to lead them. With the great captain to guide and steer this ship, in the person of Bishop Abram Grant, a living energizer whose personality reaches out and draws the strongest men around him, himself one of the foremost Negroes of this day and time, Western University is unanimally blessed. And in addition to this, to have the president of this Institution, the Hon. William T. Vernon, Registrar of the U. S Treasury, peerless orator and educator, filling the highest office within the gift of the Negro race in America, with credit and crowning one cew, in a blessing that no other institution in America can boast of—Two of the greatest Negroes of America connected with the machinery of one and the same institution. In future years you students who now crowd this chapel, will most likely have children, and you will draw them to your knees and tell them of the inspiration you received by coming in touch and con- tact with these great men, and you will in turn inspire them to go on and prepare themselves to reach up and fill noble places in life and such positions that must necessarily be left vacant by reason of death and the unexpected vicissitudes of life. "A race that looks up to God in time of adversity and in bitter trial, persecution and suffering will 'ere long rejoice in the success of His divine workings, for their good. Three years ago at the dedication of this building, in the presence of the Governor and distinguished guests, in my speech upon that occasion I referred to the fact that a native son of Kansas, a product of the public schools and University of this great state, had been loaned to the great state of Missouri of which I claim, he honor of being a faithful citizen, and like Moses of old he has set the people of that great common health in a grand battle upon the Octopus Standard Oil Company of New York and at the bad driven it into its den in Wall street, never to emerge again Through the marvellous workings of God despite the thieves the legislation of radical Democracy in Missouri, God has brought in about to place Herbert S. Hudley in the breech, where he will all the better prevent the defaming of the fair name of Missouri with Jim Crow car laws and Negro disfranchisement. "You live in a progressive age this school is destined to grow, and in twenty years will have stretched out and embraced not only these hills included in this campus but all the surrounding territory. I congratulate you, Mr. President, the faculty and members of the student body, upon your splendid success." YALE. KANSAS.

Lodges will take warning that in the future when lodges use their funds otherwise than provided by law they will be severely dealt with. We need five hundred (500) members this term and not less than one-half dozen lodges. Therefore a general dis- pensation to all lodges in the Jurisdiction is hereby granted for sixty (60) days for the reception of new members. Apply to your deputy for rates or direct to me. Lodges are expected to take advantage of this dispensation for the increase of their membership. Lodges should send all matters which arise in the lodge for settlement to the deputy and not to the Grand Chancellor. Officers occupying stations requiring bonds must furnish same within thirty (30) days or their office will be declared vacant and others appointed to fill them. I shall expect each officer and member of the Order to do his duty, no matter what his station may be. We must have good, efficient work during this year. Lodges must pay more attention to the ritualistic work, as they will be held responsible for the proper conferring of the Ranks. Officers must memorize the ritual, and incompetence in this respect will be sufficient cause for removal. Defect or lack of paraphernalia should be reported to the deputy at once. I earnestly desire that every lodge carry its officers' card in our official organ.

EDITOR OF THE PLAINDEATH I believe many of your readers will be interested to know of the informal visit of Grand Master C. H. Collins to our city, on Sunday November 8th. The Grand Master made two ad- ditions while in the city. One was at the Shiloh Baptist church, Rev Blake pastor. This address was made at the close of the morning service, and briefly outlined the charitable and religious tenets of the Masonic fraternity. The address was transcendant in its logical arrangement, earnestness and eloquence, and made a fine impression on the crowded house. He closed with a glowing yet deserved tribute to Bro.
