THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Take Your Choice for Governor! Frank MacLennan, Judge Lobdell, W. J. Fitzgerald or Ed. Greer Would Make Kansas Prosper---Session will be Secretary of State. ISTITUTE OF CLERGY Crazy Snake Sho Take Your for Frank MacLennan W. J. Fitzgerald Would Make per---Session retary o The people of Kansas are looking for a good conservative business man for governor-one who will stand for the state's success instead of personal notoriety in order to advance to higher political preferment. It is true the primary election law was enacted to keep a poor man from seeking the office of governor, but the people have their eyes on four popular gentlemen who have come up through hardships and toil, and with a little encouragement from friends are amply able to compete with the man of millions who fathered this law in order to make himself governor, then United States senator. Either of these four gentlemen knows what Kansas and her industries needs and has spent time and dollars to assist in building them up without tearing down one part to gain the applause of a crowd whose sole ambition is to hold office. We have talked to many prominent men concerning these illustrious patriots, of honest intention and purposes of good government, and all agree that either one of them will do all right. Frank P. MacLennan, editor of The Topeka State Journal, has proven himself a statesman, as in business undertakings, always pointing to the future of things that come to pass. He went to Washington, D. C., before the Tariff Revision Committee and convinced them that his statement was correct in regard to the effect of the tariff on wood pulp and other raw material from which paper is manufactured. Of all the prominent men that appeared before that committee his statement was the one most accurate and convincing and was the only one taken by the committee for consideration. He is a thinker, a student of political economy and a booster of all honest business concerns. He believes in well paid labor and will dig down into his pocket and give until it hurts rather than see any enterprise that stands for public good suffer. Mr. MacLennan is the only man in the world who shares the net profits of his business with his employees. He believes in public improvement and public spirited people, and would make Kansas and her concerns flourish like a green bay tree. He is in the statesman class, a Journalist with but few equals and a man TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 2, 1909. that would sympathize with those who are struggling to gain a foot-hold. How would Gov. MacLennan sound to you? Judge Chas. E. Lobdell is the second one of the quartett that Kansans are studying for governor. He is a statesman, jurist and a man who is fair and knows Kansas from A to Z. He would strive to free Kansas from the hands of the midnight marauders who have done much to blight her prosperous name and keep capital and investors from her door. Judge Lobdell knows nothing but that which would be good for the people and his name is frequently mentioned as a gubernatorial possibility. Third is the patriotic statesman who stood like the three headed Cerberus to guard the interests of the people from a wild and frenzied board of prosperity wreckers who would have ruined Kansas and her people by enacting crazy and obnoxious laws. Had he not used good judgment the wild end of the senate would have practically wrecked Kansas, Lieutenant Gov. Fitzgerald, of our great commonwealth, is the correct size for the gubernatorial chair. The fourth is the Ed. Greer, a journalist and scholar of Winfield, who loves Kansas and her industries and has the courage to do what is right and not play to the grandstand. Ed Greer is a man of brain and great worth and as governor would bring Kansas back into the lime light with other progressive states. "The scepter shall not depart until Shioloh comes" then the people will gather together in 1910 to select another man who can fill the gubernatorial chair. CHAS. SESSION. The people of Kansas like a good dignified gentleman for secretary of state and they have been lucky for years in selecting one. They have looked the field over and have decided to place the coveted title upon Charley Session, Topeka representative of the Kansas City Journal. He is a gentleman, scholar and diplomat and is known by voters in every nook and corner of the the state, and when the time cames he will be the unanimous choice of all irrespective of party, creed, color or condition. He will have no opposition for secretary of state. It has been decided that Charley Session shall be, so all others who have dreamed of entering the race will kindly take notice and keep it. AT THE CAPITAL OF THE NATION. By James Cubett Campbell. There is a tumor going the rounds here among politicians which is receiving unusual credit to the effect that Dr. W. D. Crum, recently collector of the port of Charleston, S. C., is soon to be given a responsible position in the Panama zone. There seems to be an impression that Dr. Crum is entitled to something good in the way of federal recognition and a position in Panama may be in keeping with this impression. The statement has been advanced that in view of the fact that Mr. Crum is a physician his services might well be utilized along the lines of his profession in the canal district. There are a large number of colored men from the West Indies and some few from the United States at work on the canal, and it may be possible that Dr. Crum will be employed in some capacity among these workmen. Banquets in Washington are natural. They come as do the gentle tails and sometimes almost as often, but the one given in honor of Judge Torrell on Friday evening was without a doubt one of the most brilliant and perfect ever held here. The beautiful dining room of Mr. James Gray on Pennsylvania avenue was the scene of the festive gathering, and Mr. Gray, one of the best equipped men in the country to handle such affairs, spared nothing in adding to its richness and elegance. This alliance was a compliment and an expression of the pride the colored people of the District feel in the elevation of Mr. Torrell to the federal bench, and in the splendid gathering witnessed on that evening may be taken as an evidence of a people's appreciation, Judge Torrell may well feel complimented. Bon Ralph W Tyler auditor for the navy, was tostmaster. After one of the most sumptuous dinners ever eaten at a banquet, Mr. Tyler introduced Dr. B. D. Williston, who read letters of regret from Mr. Ormond W Scott, Mr. Harry W Cummings, of Baltimore, D.C. Gov. P. B Punchbrook, Hon Charles W Anderson, of New York, Dr Booker I Washington and others. Those who responded to tests were Maj Charles R Douglas, Mr. Gilchrist Stewart of New York, Asst. Dis Atty James A Cobb, Supt. of Public Schools, Roscoe C. Bruce, Hon John C Dancy, Recorder of Deeds, Hon W T Vernon, Register of the Treasury, Hon W H Lewis, Asst. C. S. Dist. Atty., Boston, Mass. and Dr. Summer Womby. Judge Tennell, in a speech perhaps more serious than any delivered in recent years and, too, more notable for an appreciable sense of responsibility and rate allocation responded to the last tost. --- Echos from the Banquet. Major Charles R. Douglas, a son of our painted bird, "set the guns a toning." W. J. Vernon demonstrated again that nature embellished that noble dome of his with a silver tongue of rare sweetness and eloquence. He and W. H. Lewis at Boston simply put that crowd in their pockets and walked off. Dance made a great speech and was at his best. Bishop J. C. Hartzell, in charge of the missionary work of the Methodist church in Africa, had a talk with the President on Saturday about Liberia, and what the work of the commission will probably be in connection with the African republic. Hooker T. Washington also called upon the President on Saturday and talked with him in connection with the Liberian commission. It is reported that one of the commissioners has resigned and that the President is now looking for another suitable man to fill this vacancy. It was denied, however, at the White House that Dr. Washington made any recommendation with respect to the vacant place mentioned. OLD WORLD NEWS. (From our own Correspondent.) Unscrupulous Europeans in the Cape Colony do a thriving trade in selling rifles and ammunition into Basutoland natives, says a report issued today. The general plan is for them to buy rifles at about $7 each in the Cape Colony and then to employ native runners to exchange or sell them in Basutoland. The total price the natives pay for a rifle is $75 - on a house or equivalent value. A correspondent writes that on the morning of Feb 25 between 5 and 6 o'clock a heavy shower of black rain fell in the district of Portadown, Armagh, Ireland. There was intense darkness during the shower, and after it water tills looked as though coal had been stored into them. The rivers presented a similar appearance. It is thought to be not unlikely that the shower was produced by the smoke from the English manufacturing districts, carried across the Irish Sea and deposited in the locality. It is a very interesting illustration of the new spirit awakening in China that the native government have just opened a hospital for women in Lion Lion which is to be entirely managed and coached by women. A Chinese woman, Dr. Kim in name, who has received a complete medical education in America has been placed at the hotel, and the government have just appointed an English medical woman, Dr. Lallie Saville, to co-operate with her. Dr. Saville, who has had long experience of work in China, in connection with the London Mission left London on Saturday, and will travel overland through Silbera. The weekly statement by the local government board of the number of persons in receipt of other shows that on Saturday, Feb 27, then were 13,010 pupils in London, or 3923 more than the total for the corresponding day of Feb 1, 1900. Miss Bustall, an English lady who has been traveling in America studying the public school system in various cities, has just published in London a very interesting book Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Washington and St. Louis furnish abundant material for personal investigation, and these centers, with two or three institutions in Wisconsin and Michigan constitute Miss Bustall's field of observation It is ample for her purpose, but the limitation has led her into some dubious generalizations, as, for instance, the statement that "boys and girls are not wanted in American industries till sixteen or eighteen years of age." That cannot be reconciled with the facts revealed by the last census, which returned 254,300 boys and girls from ten to fifteen years of age employed in 'manufacturing and mechanical pursuits," being an increase of 150,000 in twenty years.

We need five hundred (000) members this term and not less than one half dozen lodges. Therefore a, and the dispensation to all lodges in the jurisdiction is hereby granted for six (60) days for the reception of new members root 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 de chored 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. The lopka Plaindonler, give the nights of meeting and postoffice address of your Chancellor Commander and Keeper on Records and Seal. I ask and shall expect the loyal support of every Knight to give their all and assistance in promoting the welfare of this organization to the end that the next session may show increased progress and prosperity and success for Pythianism. Thus done and signed at Wichita, Kansas, this 8th day of September, A D. 1008, and of the Pythian Period N.L.V. INO E. LEWIS, Grand Chancellor. Attest: W. W. PLUMB. Grand Keeper of Records and Seal. 1012 Buchanan Street, Topeka, Kansas. Kansas City, Kansas, the Mecca for Shoppers Some Leading Firms of that Hustling Business Center. Hon. John W. West, a Democrat is nominee for mayor of Kansas City. We do not eviggerate when we say that the people of Kansas will make no mistake when they elect a man like John W. West mayor. No man would be more fittingly represent the aggregate and progressive idea of the policy of Kerriity, and the people's interest than Mr. West, being endowed by nature with extraordinary intelligence, attainment and great executive ability. He has during the past two or three years displayed a wonderful capacity as a councilman and a natural born leader of men. Having been at all times absolutely fair and just which has made him many friends, he is very popular with all classes. Mr. West is a great friend to the laboring man and has always been a friend to all classes of people regardless to their condition in life. He has made one of the best councilmen the city has ever had. He has always been found working for the betterment of the city and in the interest of the taxpayers. Mr. West has been a prominent business man of this city for many years, he conducts one of the largest wholesale and retail meat markets on Minnesota avenue; he has always been a great friend to the colored people. On many occasions he has helped them in their enterprises whether he was in politics or out of politics. These are his principles and that is the kind of a man we want for mayor of Kansas City, Kansas. WYANDOTTE GAS COMPANY. The Wyandotte Gas Company has more than made good. The service is all that could be expected; in fact better than in most of the cities which have natural gas for a great many years. Their effort to have a steady supply at all times has ticked everybody, and those who live where there is no gas are clamoring for it. The Gas Company has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars to bring about this condition; and Kansas City, Kansas, has one of the finest and best equipped natural gas distributing plants in the world. It is managed and conducted by businessmen who have the interest of Kansas City, Kansas, at heart, and it not molested by unnecessary relations interfering they will do much to promote the interest of all. At present the prices are sufficiently low, so that all can burn gas without a strain. We commend the Wyndham Gau Company, which is one of the great art concerns in the West. The colored man who bays a little tract of ground and makes his boys work will find himself better off in old age and his boys capable of undertaking almost any proposition that is offered. Plenty to eat, a good, clean bed to sleep in will go a long way toward mak ing a man. The white man of Oklahoma has robbed the Indian and freedman so much and so outrageously until they have gone crazy. Now the white man is trying to drive them into exile and to coop what's left. These unfortunate creatures are defending what they believe to be their rights. What little land the government has left them should be left alone by the white man Great is Lincoln Institute, her president, B. F. Allen, and the faculty. He has done much for the institute. He can point with pride to hundreds of graduates who are making good along all lines of professions, business and trade. If the Negroes who are opposing him would try and do one tenth as well as the professor the race would have more wealth to their credit. The time for healing dervishes is past in this race. It is be who does or tries to do something that the people are asking for. If you can't show results for your labor, time and opportunity don't decriy the man who can. Why stand ye here till all the day, then abuse the men who are up and doing? FOR THE ARKAN·AS For a Christian commonweal.h to be made the object. of the missionary zeal of a heathen country is the situation in which the Episcopal diocese of Arkansas has been placed by the receipt of a contribution from the Episcopal converts in China for missionary use in Arkansas Bishop Brown of Little Rock recently received a draft from Bishop Roots of Hankow, China, for the sum of $20, to be used in the evangelization of Arkansas Bishop Roots is native of Arkansas. Several years ago he went to China as a missionary and later was raised to the bishopric there. Recently he visited his mother in Little Rock and on his return to China told his people of the conditions in Arkansas. His talk gave his communicants the impression that the church in Arkansas was in dire need of help and they went down into their "kimonos" and contributed their mites toward the saving of the heathen of Arkansas. It is exceedingly gratifying to note that the colored people of Kansas City, Kansas, have established a theater of their own at the M. and C. hall. The establishment of this place of amusement for the colored people should receive the universal approval of the colored people of Kansas City, Kansas. This theater presents for them a high class vaudeville show, presenting Illustrated Songs and Moving Pictures which are instructive, entertaining and interesting. Performance every night from 6:00 to 10:30 o'clock. Entire change of performance Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday A convict is given to every lady who stands the man once Thursday. It is established and maintained that the theater is done in great exertion for the education and mental improvement of the colored people. To the theater is established and maintained as usably for colored people, and they ought to show their appreciation of the sort by giving it then patronage. Mr W. H. Shelly, who is manager of the M and C theater, is well liked by all who know him. We would like to see more of our people attend this grand and attractive little theater which is first class in all of its performances. It is being operated in a hall owned and controlled by our people, which on the face of it shows that it is a colored enterprise worthy of our support.

There are a number of young ladies here who have bought instruments by using the means for which they have labored long and hard. By the plan we offer, a piano can be secured with light work, one's own time and at a saving of one's money. Why the young ladies of Topeka do not accept this offer and enter the contest is beyond our understanding. Have they no life, no ambition? If it 700 piano, diamond ring, gold watch and sewing machine won't house them how could a good, industrious man interest in women? We would bestite to offer a husband in prize, for fear they would be too unconcerned to try to win him. Mrs. Quarrels of 820 Clay street entertained Thursday evening of last week in honor of Mrs. G.

Kansas City, Mo. Of all establishments of its kind in Kansas City, Mo, the pioneer department store of Emery, Bird, Thayer and Co stands out most prominent. This is because of its ever seeming and untiring desire to please each and every customer, however humble, however limited their purchases may be. We have many readers of THE PLAINDEALEF who patronize this mentioned and worthy establishment, not coming from Topeka alone, but from all parts of Kansas and Missouri as well, simply from the above named reasons. Again, we might say that the fundamental principle underlying the envied position of this firm in the mercantile world, is due too, to the fact that even a child can go to said shopping mart for purchasing purposes and be assured of just as much consideration, attention and all as would be accorded the most seasoned and matured of shopper We comment to our many readers in no unmeasured terms this establishment. First, because of its past record of an indiscriminate service; second, because of its always meeting and most invariably underselling as to price its competitors THEY ARE OFF FOR THE PIANO!
