Senator Buchan is Being Boomed for Congress---The Consolidated Electric Light and Power Company Will Be Granted a Franchise. By Adolph Griffin, Editor and Manager Kansas City Department. Senator Buchan is being mentioned by his friends and newspapers of the Second district as a candidate for congress. We do not know whether the Senator will accept of this honor or not, but if he would there is no power on earth that could beat him for this place. He has a host of friends who would like to see him go to congress from this district as there is no man who would better represent the people than senator Buchan is one of the best lawyers in the state and stands high in the ranks of the profession. He has done much for Kansas City the state and district and the people have confidence in his integrity to do as much again. His opinion on some of the most important questions of law have been sought by men of great legal ability all over the state. He is a man of the people and is ever alert to their interest. He is one among the few that can always be relied upon in or out of politics, and is a staunch friend of those who toil for their bread. Senator Buchan has contributed much time and money to the success of the Republican party, and with a few more like him, Kansas would be greatly benefited. * * * The development and growth of the Co.

The development and growth of the Consolidated Electric Light and Power Company is largely due to the splendid executive ability of Mr. M. T. Flynn, who has been local manager for many years. Mr. Flynn is popular with all classes and is familiar with every detail of the Company's business. Kansas City, Kansas uses the Consolidated Electric Light and Power Company's light for illuminating the city and it is one of the best lighted cities of its size in the West, and if the people will do their duty, which we have no reason to doubt, they will demand that the city council grant the franchise to the said Consolidated company. The Company has made good and done much to improve the condition of the city by rendering prompt service, and at the same time adding to its glory and beauty. We predict that the franchise will carry without a single vote against it. The business men are much interested in granting the franchise, and with a man at the head of the concern like Mr. Flynn we know that there will be no delay when the time arrives to grant such a franchise. Mr. Flynn is a man just in the prime of life, unassuming in his manner and attained his present high position by attenting strictly to business and putting forth every effort at all times to please the public. He is a staunch friend of labor and is always willing and ready to assist any enterprise which has the tendency to advance them and their cause. Those who contemplate building should see that their houses are properly wired for the use of electric lights, irons and many other electrical devices which are inexpensive and great labor savers.

The chaplain paid a fine compliment to the visitors and invited them to call again. Warden Codding is an ideal Christian gentleman and has a heart as big as they make them He is trying to reform the men by giving a few privileges and they all appreciate what is being done. The chapain seems to be a man of high Christian type, one who loves prison work We believe the two gentlemen will bring the institution up to that place where where men who leave will be ashamed to return.

OND KIES when you can the same City, Mo. FRIDAY, OCT, 8, 1908. The action of the Negro ministers of the Kansas A. M. E. conference just closed, in starting a movement to place the statute of John Brown in statuary hall in the national capitol, is an action that reflects a good deal of credit upon the conference and also makes toward the establishment of a state pride of Kansas patriots among the population of the state. --- Much has been said and probably will be said about John Brown, both by those who believed and those who claim not to have believed in him. No doubt he had some erroneous ideas. But he also had the courage of heart and hand to follow what he thought was the right line of action to work about the good of his country and his chosen territory. What this country needs is fewer men to find fault with its patriots and more to respect the spirit in which these patriots acted. The Negroes of the state owe not a little to the sentiment of John Brown of Kansas, and if they further the cause of placing his statute in the national hall of statutes they will be doing no more than they should, and ought to meet the encouragement of public spirited Kansans.—Leavenworth Times. THE President is a splendid man, yet it makes us a little nervous to see him hob-nobbing with Southerners. --- The commission govement scheme should be crushed by all means. If it carries, the city will be in the clutches of five czars and the poor people will have no voice in the affairs of the city. IN RETURNING the Rev. J. E. Edwards for a fifth time to the pastorate of Saint John church, Topeka, the A. M.E. Conference showed wisdom and sound business judgment. Rev. Edwards has begun a work that would require years of worry and hard struggle for a stranger to complete and then perhaps fail. He has mapped out a good, sound business course that is bound to succeed. He is a great pilot and has his forces thoroughly organized and all are struggling for one common end. --- We are pleased to see the Grand Lodge of Masons (ante) deliver such a crushing blow to an attempt to inject the question of race into its election of officers. If there is an institution on earth which stands for the quality of man it is the Masonic order and the distribution of anonymous circulars which had for their purpose the defeat of man's laudable ambition to be promoted was a Masonic crime and is so regarded and will be so treated if the perpetrators can be detected. The Grand Master was loud in his condemnation of the matter and it will be a long time before there is a repetition of such a dastardly act.—Ex. The old fashioned Emancipation celebration is now a relic of bygone days. In years past Emancipation day was looked forward to with great joy by young and old. It was a day of rejoicing, and good fellowship reigned supreme. It was the one day in the year that the Negro forgot his sorrows, and hundreds of old friends would assemble and pay homage to the greatest of all Americans, Abraham Lincoln. No one ever dreamed of charging at the gate or for what people ate—everything was free and white people found as much enjoyment at one of these celebrations as did the black. Time has worked radical changes. The political grafter has took command. He charges at the gate, sells stand privileges and collects so much per from candidates and officeholders to "defray expenses," thus feathering his nest for the chilly blasts of winter. The thinking, industrious element of the race have caught on and now out here in Kansas where the most enthusiastic celebrations were held, Emancipation day passes unnoticed save by the political grafter and a few unsuspecting people who have not as yet learned the fact that they are being used to enrich the coffers of men who follow the graft route for their bread. A VISIT TO OKLAHOMA. EDITOR PLAINDEALER. Please allow me space in the columns of your paper to say something which I believe will be of interest to the Negro in the future. In the midst of ever increasing duty I pause for a moment to make a brief history of some stubborn facts that the Negro has to contend with while traveling through what was once, 12 or 14 years ago, considered a garden spot for him. But it is on the little sprig of grass that put forth in its beauty, it soon withered away. The Negro at one time could take a stroll through the evergreen meadow called worldly pleasure, and there pluck from its sod the daisy of contentment, sprinkled with the dew of happiness; now, each one of those daises has turned to sorrow and discontent. I was called to Chickasha by my father, Rev. J. H. Hawkinson, P.E. to attend the bedside of my sister, who was very sick. I boarded the cars for that place and rode very comfortably until I arrived at Cald. well, Kane. There the big change takes place. They put us in one end of a car with but four seats to a side and one of those was occupied by a tool chest. Black and dirty was no name. The car bed but one toilet to it, which men and women both would have to use. As we rode on people kept getting on until we were packed in the out row like cardines. There was no scap and the pump was out of fix on the tank. I observed things closely but never enjoyed the privileges of which it says in that damnable Jim Crow law, both races shall have equal accommodations. I next arrived in Chickasha, and never during my whole life have I met with such a congenial set of people; such good and kind people are too fine to live in such countries. They welcome you to both their hearts and tables. I met Rev. Dr. James A. Johnson, pastor of the AME church, and his good wife. Dr. Johnson made everything very pleasant for me, driving with me six miles out in the country, to the farm of Edw. Williams and wife, where we enjoyed a most delicious dinner. I found quite a number of our people engaged in business, among whom were, L. Q. Brantford, who has a nice, 3 chaired barber shop. J. Applewhite also runs a 3 chaired shop, and both are doing well. Mr. Dickson is also in the barber business. Dr. A. J. Jordan has a fine practice; and also a number of others I could mention but space will not allow. Concluding, I will acknowledge that in the early days of Oklahoma some of the fathers were in their youth too feeble to examine the great objects which surrounded them. All that season, therefore, is lost amidst weakness, indolence, luxury and amusement. Marrying, bustling through the world, overwhelmed at length with business cares and perplexities, they have suffered those years to glide along. Old age has succeeded to some and still some employment intervenes, until at last they have passed through the ordeal without scarcely a single thought to the works of the legislators, and in too many instances without having duely considered the end. This, with a few exceptions, caused the failure on our part. It is true that no one is able to avoid being led or compelled to notice the wonderful prejudices which surround them. About all they can now do is to remark the beautiful verdure of the fields and woods, the elegance of the flowers and the melodious singing of the birds. Yet they should, indeed, give themselves the trouble to proceed a step further and examine into the nature of those astonishing olaures. Let those who have land keep it, and get more if you can. If you have town property buy more and keep it, for there will come our time some day. You're for the race, A A. HAWKIN. Topeka, Kans.

After a shampoo or bath, the Magic dries the hair, removing the dandruff; and it will straighten the curliest head of hair, giving it a natural fluffy appearance. Remember that the Magic never burns or injures the hair, because the comb is never heated direct. The steel heating bar alone is put into the flame of the heater, as shown below. DO not mistake this elegant toilet necessity for some of the cheaply made imitations. It is entirely different, as you will see by the pictures. The aluminum comb is easily detached from the steel bar; then after the bar is heated (as shown below) the comb goes back in place, the handle is turned and the Magic is ready for use.
