He has proven his business ability by building up a magnificent grocery business at Twelfth and Kansas Avenue. J. B. Billard, one of the substantial business men of Topeka, has announced himself a candidate for Mayor. He has resided on the North side for years and owns the Billard Mills. He organized the Drainage Board and secured the diking of North Topeka which made that side immune from floods and up to that time people were almost giving away their property, but now the tide has changed. People are moving in and the price of property has advanced. Mr. Billard has enough unsold bonds on hand to dike halt of the town. Mr. E. F. Stanley, principal of the Quincy school is a candidate for commissioner of the city. He is a member of the city city council and has done good work. He is chairman of the judiciary committee, one of the most important; is also on the water and streets and walks committees. He has served in the council three years. He is a graduate of K. U. and has been teaching for the past twenty seven years. He resides in the second precinct of the sixth ward. His platform is good government with economy. The following is what Mr. Stanley stands for: My record in the city council is open to the public. I stand for sane and progressive legislation. For promptness in performance of duties, settlement of claims and controversies. Franchises are of value and the city is vitally concerned. Provisions of all contracts should be fulfilled. I stand for improvements in gas service, water service, flood protection, garbage system, lighting service, parks and playgrounds and street railway service. I am a Booster, not a Muck Raker. Mr. M. C. Holman, one of the most substantial business men of the North Side, is a candidate for commissioner of the city of Topeka. He has resided on the North Side for years, assisted in building that TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, MAR. 4, 1910. side up when it was farm land; has done much for the upbuilding of her citizens.

He has two delivery wagons and good teams. He has demonstrated to the citizens that he can conduct a successful business of his own, therefore ask their suffrage, and feels that he can perform the duties of the office he seeks. Rev. Olden says in his platform: "Belieding that 'taxation without representation' is unjust to my peo. 1930 ple, I offer myself as a candidate for City Commissioners. I have no policies; but if elected will do my duty as I see it, to the humblest as well as to the most prominent citizen." YALE. KANS. Mrs. Eatman is on the sick list this week.

ALLEN. AT LINCOLN INSTITUTE. Manager Adolph Griffin, of The Plaindealer Calls on Dr. Allen. The Man Who is Making Lincoln Institute the "Hub" of Negro Education One can never realize the real pleasure of a visit to the capital of grand old Missouri without visiting Lincoln Institute and chatting with Dr. Benjamin Franklin Allen, and while in Jefferson City last week we had that pleasure. He is president of this institution and under his guidance it has become the educational "hub" of Negro schools of the great West. Dr. Allen is a tireless worker, and has the success of Lincoln Institute at heart. His keen eye is ever alert and nothing that will advance the school escapes him. He has made good and proven himself worthy in every way of the high honor that has been bestowed upon him, and if the board of regents does its duty and wants to see the institution continue its upward flight, it will elect him Dr. Allen has surrounded himself with a score of the brightest men and women of the race as teachers, and the many boys and girls that leave the institution yearly to take up life's rugged duties are living testimonials to their ability. The Kansas City Star in an editorial pays Dr. Allen and his school the following well deserved compliment: Persons who are disquieted over the race question will find much interest in the report recently published of B. F. Allen, president of the Lincoln Institute at Jefferson City, on the work of that school for Negroes. The spirit of the document is in line with the same ideas of the leaders of the race. "We are trying," Mr. Allen writes, "to develop in our students race pride', not to stir the fires of race antipathy,' but to make them peaceable and good citizens in the communities where they are permitted to dwell. We are not disturbed here over the so-called 'race question.' " In other words the aim here expressed is to make the black man ambitious to be a first rate Negro, not to be a second rate white man with a dark skin. The idea is to develop the Negro race so that the "jim crow" system. "We stress the thought," Mr. Allen continues, "that in these modern days economic efficiency is as important as intellectual and moral efficiency; that the education of today demands that they be taught to do some form of work that has industrial and commercial value, and that to work with any degree of efficiency we must develop an enthusiasm for work and a capacity for a large amount of it. There is a deep, seated prejudice among Negroes that agriculture and kindred pursuits degrade them and that the education that educates lifts them above any work that has any remblance of hardness about it. At Lincoln Institute we aim to change these impressions." That is the work that needs to be done. Once let the Negro become an efficient workman everywhere, once let him establish his economic independence, and all other things shall be added unto him. Missouri is fortunate in having an institution that teaches such wholesome doctrine. — Kansas City Star. While in Jefferson City we were royally entertained at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Brosius, 324 E. Dunklin street. They are highly respected citizens and their accomplished daughter, Miss Parthenia, is a teacher in the public schools She is highly educated and one of the best teachers in the state. We visited the school, which is a credit to her ability as an educator. NUMBER 9 Mr. Swayze Talks of His Candidacy! "It is mighty easy for some to throw bouquets at themselves and set themselves up as the only self-made men when running for office," says Oscar K. Swayze, candidate for county clerk, "but I am not built that way. Just plain, unvarnished facts I have been taught are much more acceptable to the public. I give the dear public credit for knowing and if they don't know and are interested, they will inquire around before they hire a man. Just as they would in their private business. If he has lived up to his egotistical advance notices they will find it out. If he has not he can't hide it by slatheing on himself the dope meant to catch the unwary." As an aspirant for county clerk Swayze seeks promotion. He has done the work as deputy and his ambition to go higher is laudable. He is dead willing, for the ample salary offered, to devote his entire time to the duties of the office, and says a man who does his sworn duty has no time to devote to any other work, honorary or with pay. The county pays for full time and should demand it. Swayze's past services as deputy make him especially fitted for the office he seeks. He says he is in a position and has the desire if elected, to make the county clerk's office of greater value to the people. His knowledge of the work and the pride he took in the work when deputy cannot be disputed. He says he is deeply in earnest in his desire to make good his platform and deliver the goods. For Member School Board. Mr. A. V. Lindell has been forced in the race for member school board from the Fourthward. This is the platform the people asked him to stand upon. He is a young active banker full of business: "Equal education of everybody's children, and hours of school that will more nearly conform to the customs and ways of the common people." VINITA. OKLA. Mr. Idd Soffrel and Mrs. Dora Blackwell were visitors at Parsons, Kansas, Saturday returning the midnight.

Wassom, Lincoln Institute Jefferson City, Mo. So few parents take any interest in teaching or having their children taughs Art. It is because they have not been taught in this science themselves, and think it is of no use to their little ones! If so, let me disrobe their minds of such a thought and tell them it is one of the most important subjects of modern educational thought. The Greeks of old were the cleverest people of their day and all of their children were taught to draw. It is true these gifts are not always the inherited talent that succeeds. Faculties developed by hard work directed to a good purpose often brings success to their owners, thou does inherited talents. Drawing trains the young mind to observation as no other study can do. It provides an exercise for mind and memory and the teacher soon realizes that it gives back to the child the time it took to study it. It does this by making their memory more retentive; their observation more accurate. Parents make a great mistake by not starting their children while young. Youth is the time to give them a start and show them that you are anxious to assist them in making their lives profitable. Many mothers say, "I wou'd like my daughters to learn drawing and painting, but with all of their studies they have not the time."- Little do mothers think what a recreation they would be giving to the minds of their children. Parents do not realize that the proper study of drawing is a rest to the ordinary child. It is the most interesting form of mental play. It relieves any tendency to brain strain. Many artists who earn money in the profession of illustrating, took up drawing when they were anywhere from twelve to fifteen years of age. Many of the best illustrators of the United States are women making good salaries. Let the parents take more interest along this line of Art and see to it that their children are taught while young.

Kansas Politics Is selecting men for the important place of city commissioner those who have made a success of their own affairs should be given first consideration. Mr. J. P. Angle has proven his business ability and has made a success of everything to which he has set his hand. He has been probate judge, and is at present administrating the affairs of the city as a member of the park board. He is a man of wonderful executive ability and if re-elected as a commissioner he will continue to keep Kansas City in the progressive channel of trade and commerce. Primaries March 28. Mr. John P. Clark, candidate for commissioner, is one of the city's most progressive business men. He was born in 1865 and lived in Kansas twenty-one years. He has always been active in promoting the interest of Kansas City and has contributed much to her prosperity. He organized the Kansas Realty Co. which has been a source of bringing many business concerns to the Kansas side. He is a man of his word and his word is as good as Uncle Sam's gold. He is familiar with every want and need of the city and it elected will make a success of the city's affairs as he has done for himself. He is unassuming, easy to approach, and is ready to listen to the humblest citizen. The primaries will be held March 28. --- Kansas City will shortly select the five men whose duty it will be to put into effect the people's decree for a commission form of government. This responsibility should and must be carefully guarded and placed in the hands of honest, broadminded men of affairs. Whatever prejudice there has been felt against the system has been due to the fear to the fear that such men could not be induced to accept the offices. It begins to look, however, as if that fear was unfounded, as some very fine men are signifying their willingness to serve. In the person of Mr. Otto Anderson, one of the most successful business men of the town, whose fine record, both in private and public is above reproach. He has announce ed his candidacy and stated plainly the principles by which he will be governed in the event of his election; and we must say that they have the proper sound and we predict that he will receive the support of those who have a full appreciation of the importance of selecting the best men to inaugurate the new form of government. Mr. Anderson, by virtue of having a well established business, can afford to give the city more time and better service than some one could whose bread and butter depended on his daily effort, and we believe he is a proper person for the place. A man who makes a success of his own business is the man who can be trusted with the affairs of the people, and with his splendid executive ability, both commercially and financially, guarantee that he is the proper man to manage the affairs of this prosperous municipality. Mr. Anderson is a man and always ready to assist and lend a helping hand in all matters for the public good, C.E. Abrams, one of Kansas City's popular citizens announces himself as a candidate for commissioner under the new form of government to be inaugurated this spring. He was in the drug business at 530 Minneota Avenue for a number of years, and made a success of the business. He is now a prosperous real estate and loan agent at 713 Minnesota Avenue. He was of the the largest property owners in the city and pays hundreds of dollars into the tax fund. His father was a missionary in Zulu, Africa for a number of years where young Abra-hams was born. He was reared among them, and came to Kansas City 24 years ago, and has stood for the rapid advancement of the city being a member of the Civic League whose duty is to bring manufactories and other industries to the Kansas side. He promises if elected to devote all of his time to ho city. SPRINGFIELD, MO. Mr. Seales is convalescent after a severe spell of illness. M.s.

What is more attractive than a beautiful head of hair? It has been the ambition of women in all ages. The use of Ford's Hair Pomade makes stubborn, harsh, kinky or curly hair softer, more pillable and glossy, easy to comb and arrange in any style desired consistent with its length, as long as the Pomade remains in the hair. This result may be obtained by one thorough application according to directions. Two to four applications a month will keep the hair in satisfactory condition, and two to four bottles, regular size, are usually sufficient for a year. Directions with every bottle. Ford's Hair Pomade removes and prevents dandruff, invigorates the scalp and keeps it from getting harsh and dry, stops itching and prevents the hair from falling out or breaking off and gives it new life and vigor. Absolutely harmless. Used with splendid results even on children and infants. Delicately perfumed, its use is a constant pleasure. A most satisfactory toilet preparation for ladies, gentlemen and children. Don't buy anything else alleged to be "just as good" if you want the best results buy Ford's Hair Pomade. Look for this name "Charles Ford, Presst." on every package. If your druggist or local dealer cannot supply you with the genuine, we will send you Mt. Marvin Laye. Mrs. Lawell is on the sick list.

Brewed and Bottled by the Write us for Price Kansas City, Missouri. Write us for Prices HIRAM BAKER'S Los Angeles, Cal., June 5 1904 Dear Henry: In my last letter I told you I would tell about something that reminded me of something. Well, the other day I was thinking of the time I was a school boy. Most men you read about went to a little red school house, but the school I went to was a brown one. We raised our own wheat and had it ground at a little country mill which did not always mace the finest kind of flour. and as a result our bread was not as white and light as it is today. To make my lunch for school as nice as possible mother always put in a place each of pie and cake. I would start out and about the time I reached the little bridge over the creek would dig into my dinner bucket for the pie, and when recess came I generally devoured the cake, so when noon came and the other scholars were eating their good things, I had to be content with dark colored bread. Now, all this reminds me of people who in their younger days spent all they make and think only of having a good time, their money goes for things they really don't need; the needy time in the future is never given a thought, so that when old age comes, when they really need and ought to have the luxuries of life, they have to be content with the bare necessities. That account of yours in the State Savings Bank is "pie," Henry. Don't use it now because it looks good, or think you would enjoy spending it, but keep it growing until using it becomes really necessary. Then will be the time you will enjoy the fruits of your labor of today. Your loving father, STATE SAVINGS BANK. G20 Kansas Avenue, Topeka, Kans. Savings deposits of $r and over our specialty.
