THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER POLITICS IN THE THIRD DISTRICT! VOLUME XII. Manager Griffin Spends a Few Hours in Montgomery County Interviewing the Local Candidates----Whole District is for Tom Wagstaff. "Political interest in this section is growing, and each day the fires grow hotter. At no time in the history of the state has Montgomery county shown as much political activity as at present," writes Manager Adolph Griffin, who is now on a tour of Southern Kansas and Oklahoma with Editor Chiles. He says further, "all of the candidates for places on the county ticket are beating the brush with as much interest as though the primaries were but a day off. In this county resides Tom Wagstaff, candidate of the 'regular' Republicans for the nomination of governor. He is well liked everybody and the third district everyone is whoooping it up for Wagstaff and a 'Revision of Taxes Downward.' The office of county treasurer is one of grave responsibility and in looking over the field, we feel that M. J. Williams, is in every way worthy of consideration and would faithfully perform every duty attached to this Important office. His honor and integrity are above reproach and a host of warm personal friends are putting forth every effort to nominate and elect him. Mr. Williams is a consistent Republican and a most pleasing and pleasant gentleman to meet. Here's luck to the next treasurer of Montgomery county. Ed. Love is winding up his first term as sheriff of Montgomery county, and submits his magnificent record as an indorsement for a second term. He has made a splendid official giving every detail of the office his personal supervision. Everybody likes Sheriff Love, even the Democrats praise him and at the regular election many of them will vote for him. He is one of the most straightforward, upright and honorable men in that section of the state and places duty above all else. We along with a host of friends, like Sheriff Love and hope to see his majority doubled at the coming primaries. Hon. Amos Skinner, candidate for register of deeds, came to Montgomery county in 1874 and has always been an thusiastic worker for the growth and prosperity of Montgomery county. He well known throughout the county and every day speaks of him in the highest TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 29, 1910. terms and commends his manly qualifications. Mr. Skinner has always been a Republican and his services have always been subject to the wishes of the party and to elect him register of deeds would be but a just and fitting reward to a good, true, faithful servant. He is in every way qualified for the position he seeks and we hope to see him nominated and elected by a big majority. J. J. Baker, the efficient and capable county superintendent of public instruction is again offering himself as a candidate for the office he has so ably filled during the past two years. He has devoted all of his time and energy to the work, and as a result the schools of this county rank second to none in the state. His administration has been one of progress and abreast of the times in every particular, and if the people have the interest of the schools at heart, they will show their appreciation of his splendid work by retaining him two years more. Mr. Baker has resided in Kansas since 1881 coming here from Kentucky, his birth place. He has been engaged in school work for more than twenty years, and holds a life diploma from the State Normal at Emporia, and has always stood for the best possible school progress and facilities to promote education generally. In conversation with him, among other things he said: "I am heartily in favor of higher educational qualifications that we may be second to no state in the Union; and that Montgomery county may be second to no county in Kansas. My motto is: Loyalty to the Republican party and to the educational interests of Montgomery county as long as I shall hold my present responsible position." Clyde Knock, the genial clerk of the district court is a candidate for re-election, and we can see no reason for his not being honored for a second time by the voters of Montgomery county. He has rendered the county invaluable services, performing every duty pertaining to the office faithfully and well, and it is but just not right that the time-honored custom of the Republican party to grant an officer a second term be applied in his case. Morally, socially and otherwise, Mr. Knock is all that could be expected and measures up round and full in every particular. He is a native son having been born in Montgomery county and lived at Independence all of his life except the three years he served his country in Phillippe's darien. a mail carrier in Independence for six years and is well known by almost every man, woman and child in the town. Mr. Knock has always been a Republican as was his father who was a Civil War veteran. He has filled the office satisfactory for two years—treating all alike irrespective of creed, color or nationality, and was second in the race in Montgomery county two years ago. He is also a member of Musicians Union No. 414 at Independence. BUSINESS AT CHANUTE. The Gray-Terril Lumber Co., is the leader of this section in building materials. They own one of the finest and best equipted yards in the middlewest and their trade is increasing daily. Messrs. W. M. Gray and J. L. Terril, proprietors of the concern are fine gentlemen and their courtecus way of receiving rich and poor, white and black is in a great measure responsible for their magnificent success. They have many warm personal friends among all classes and are always boosting for a greater Chanute. A Statement to the Not long ago we published an article of complaint against the unwarranted and underhanded attacks upon Lincoln Institute, and especially its president. Such things have been going on for two years, now. Our esteemed contemporary, the Professional World, seems to have taken a cowardly and malicious delight in venting its spleen upon a worthy and innocent man. As we said, this has been going on for two years; and for fear that those who may have read all these tales, unfounded and contemptible backbitings may not have seen our previous article, or realized its full import, we make bold to write once more, in full confidence that our people will be glad to hear more of the truth about the matter and will gather round the directors of Lincoln Institute in approval of their efficient service during past years. The first question we want to ask our noisy friend is, What has president Allen done to call attention upon himself? We answer this by directing the attention of the public to the fact that the president of Lincoln Institute has provided to his office as bents the president of so dignified an institution, his chief fault probably being that he didn't call in Rufus A. Logan, B. S D., to adhere to the conduct of the school. We wish to direct the attention of the public to the fact that all of the attacks mentioned have been in the form of disguised allusions, and that not once has our editor who claims to be striving so mightily for the uphift of the race not once has his form of work with all open minded or charge that had the remnance of truth or was unable of substitution. No the harper's news reason thought it would to hide the truth from the news. public would swallow his dirty potion merely because it was in black and white. Our second query to our dear "Petticoat Logan" would be, Who set you over the Board of Trustees? Are you not soaring rather high for a bird of your species when you set yourself up to impeach the judgment of such a body of men? True, you might fall back upon the rights of a virtuous press to honestly and fairly speak the claims of truth. But whoever accused the Professional World of being virtuous in this matter? Who has laid the charge of honesty at its door? And who has ever said that it could be fair? And as to the claims of truth, we are not sure from its warped and sutpicious statements whether that paper is capable of recognizing the truth if it saw it. The truth of the matter is that the Board of Regents is composed of intelligent, unbiased and capable men, men in every way competent to judge and select a head for the institution which they direct; and that Rufus R's insinuations must not be considered by our people as being anything more than incomprehensible and unfounded claptrap. Further than this, we wish to say that the action of the Professional World is an unprecedented and uncalled for attack on the intelligence of a state. Show us if you can another state institution of equal dignity which has to defend itself against such methods. The aim and purposes of a newspaper ought to be higher than to stand in the way of educational and social progress with a lot of editorial blue funk and gossipy wish-wash; and a man who claims to feel the pulsebeat of progress and claims to sound the note of his constituents, fails miserably when he sets a one horse printing press, a yellow journal and a lot of reasonless and truthless intimations up against the dignity of a respectable state or any of its tried and respected institutions. The public has been patiently listening to these attacks for these two years. Let it not think that because they have gone thus long neglected they are true. NO. Up to this they have simply been unworthy of answer, and would not now be deemed worthy of answer, were it not for the fact that we fear that some who know not the worth of President Allen and the usual judgment of the Board of Regents might attach credence to them, and bring in evidence of the present head of the situation the man who has made it and whom it needs so much support. And all still unworthy and in closing. We challenge Rufus F. Logan or any one else who cares to put himself in the same class, to produce one lot of evidence to substantiate his humanly allusions. We know the character and integrity, and worth of the man whom he attacks. We know that men like him cannot be bad, every day in the year. We want the public to know him so feel the same confidence and admiration for him that we need. When the whole public shall know him amply as the majority now does, the despicable sheen of moral voters will have been illuminated in the landscapes and a man distinguished for his efficiency and his breadth and openness of NUMBER 17 view shall come into his full reward of honor and appreciation in the person of B. F. ALLEN. And further, I have full and complete confidence in the wisdom of the Board of Regents of Lincoln Institute, and to their keeping I willingly leave the result of Dr. B. F. Allen. Respectfully Yours, P. S. ...I have just received an anonymous letter in answer to my first article. I shall give it special attention later. J. G. W. KANSAS CITY, KAS.

MORRIS THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE To the Editor. Allow me to say through the columns of your paper that the Negroes in Oklahoma will not be distranchised; that they will be in line on time and will knock the "grandfather" clause out of the box the first round We are organizing clubs that will line up with the Republicans and the socialists at the primary against the constitutional amendment and with the assistance of the socialists that the Democrats in the next three years will leave Oklahoma like the grasshoppers left Kansas in 1875 We are busy and will continue until November, at which time the Democrats will be out of existence in the new state of Oklahoma. Every Republican and every Socialist should step to the polls and vote against the constitution, amendment, and let us be a free people in a free state and enjoy the rights guaranteed us under the United States constitution. The rights of state are all right when they are handled right, but when a state debars the rights of one citizen and doubles the rights of another, thatis a state wrong. It took from '61 to '65 to convince the Southern states that they were state wrong with millions of dollars and rivers of blood, so that will prove that we get wrong sometimes. We want no more of that, but we will fix it at the ball box on election day. The Negroes of Oklahoma pay more real estate taxes than any two states in the Union why should he not say how his taxes should be spent?

I wish to call the attention of all the cooks and porters on the various railways to the great need of an organization among us by which to protect each other. There should be a grand organization among us as there is among other men, by which we could help each other when sick or too old to follow our regular vocations. One dollar a month would be suf- ficient to pay eight or ten dollars a week to those who might be in need of assistance, and this dollar is made by every porter and cook every month in the form of tips, and practically thrown away. Let us get together on a proposition of this kind while we can. I know that some will say they have been beaten out of money, and all that, but so could require good bonds from those who handle the money and thus make ourselves secure. All who wish to help do something along this line please write me at once and try to meet me in Topeka, Kansas, June 20, 1910. 004 Main St. Chanute, Kas. (11) Elder Ransom Sees Many Old Kansans Down East. EDITOR PLAINDEALER: Please give space for a brief account of my trip down East. I left Topeka on Thursday, April 14 for Chicago, arriving there Friday morning, and I went direct to the home of my old time friend, U. Grant Smith, a former Kanran who is prospering and doing well in the Windy City, and I was royally welcomed by him and his enti- mable wife. I was also entertained at the home of his grace, Rt Rev. H. B Parks, D D., where I found one of his daughters ill. Bishop Parks owns a beautiful granite stone front—three stories with twelve modern rooms, and is located in a neighborhood populated by some of the best white people of Chicago. One made to feel proud of his acquaintance and official relations with such a dignified prelate that lives in the hearts of the common people. I also visited the home of Bishop C. T. Shaffer, D. D., and all that we can say of the beauty and substantility of Bishop Parks's home is true of the beautiful home of Bishop Shaffer, who is doing a great work for his church and race in the Fourth Episcopal District. I also visited Mr. and Mrs. Sylvester Russell, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Allen, formerly Miss Lillian Phillips, of Topeka, Drs. W. D. Cook and A. J. Carey, pastors of Quinn chapel and Institutional churches respectively; also the home of Mr. and Mrs. Manning, formerly of Topeka, who own a beautiful brick flat at 3624 Calumet avenue, and Mr. Shanault, formerly of Wamego, Kansas. In fact I met so many Topekans and old Kansas that I felt like I was in Kansas; yet in Chicago. Sunday I preached at 11:00 a.m. at Quinn chapel and was greeted by a splendid congregation. Dr. Cook has built his throne in the peoples' hearts and everywhere one goes he can hear the Quinnites singing his praises. He is one of the most hospitable pastors I ever met. Sunday night I preached at the Institutional church for Dr. Carey. This is a great church and pastor exhibiting the practical side of the threat-life. It is conceded by all that Dr Carey is one of the ablest preachers and pastors in the con- motion and the Institutional church should really be put on par with three national institutions of the church so that the time limit might be removed from its pastor and sarden. I met another old friend, Jason Woods, who is engaged in the hard. ware business at 3801 State street. I also met Jesse Binga, who is doing a general banking, real estate, rental and loan business at the southeast corner of State and Thirty-sixth Place. This is one of the most prosperous institutions of its kind in the city. He also runs a line of automobiles. One would not know that he is a Negro save by the color of his skin for most of his patrons come from among the white people. The average laborer in Chicago is puzzled to meet the demands of living, so small are the wages. In company with Dr. A. G. Oarey and the son of Chief Justice Harlan of the Supreme court, we left for Washington, D. C. Justice Harlan's son advocates the cause of equal rights to all men, as do his father and brothers. On reaching Washington we were met by Drs. W. 1. Vernon and Huret, who conducted us to the financial headquarters of the A. M. E. church, where we met the following brethren; Bishop A. Grant, D. D.; Drs. A. L. Murry, Atlantic City, N. J.; John T. Jenifer, Chicago, Ill., Charles Bundy, Cleveland, Ohio; E. W. Lee, Astanta, Ga.; N. B. Sterrett, Charleston, S. C.; Dr. Strong, Vicksburg, Mins., J M Conner, Little Rock, Ark, P C Hunt, Palestine, Texas, AJ Kershaw, Tallahassee, Fla., C H Shelton, Memphis, Toun, Dr. A G? Carey, Chicago, Ill., who with the writer constitute the financial board of the A. M. E. church. Bishop Grant, the president, called the meeting toorder Wednesday morning. The secretary, Rev Hurst, read his report, which was heartily received and which showed the greatest progress of any year in the history of the church. The church extension board of which Bishop Derrick is president, Dr Watson secretary and treasurer, and Dr. R C Ransom, secretary was in session at the same time. These boards took a recess and accompanied Bishop Grant, who had been invited to call on the president at the White House. Upon being ushered into the reception room Bishop Grant introduced each man to the president and Dr. Carey read a resolution that had been adopted by the financial board, thanking the president for his recommendation to Congress tall persons or their heirs who had deposited money in the defunct Freedman's bank should be re-imburred. Also his hearty recommendations for liberal appropriations to carry forward the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the emancipation of the American slaves; also for protection of the government extended to the Liberian republic. In well chosen words the president expressed sincere in all that had been said and done, and said that he would use every effort of his good office and influence to bring all to pass. On the departure of the delegation, the president said: "Dr. Vernon, this is a splendid aggregation of gentlemen all of whom I know to be your friends." Washington has few business concerns conducted by persons of our race. If not employed they are standing around visiting for something to turn up. After visiting many places of interest, we departed Friday morning in company with Bishop Grant and Dr. Hurst for Philadelphia, Pa. and Camden, N. J., where the New Jersey conference was in session. We found things in fair condition, only some brethren who had not had their way sought to humiliate their chief pastor by malicious prosecution, but they were taken care of. From this point, with Rev. R. C. Ransom, an orator of some note, whom some Topekans will remember as principal speaker at the Lincoln Day banquet a few years ago, we went to New York City, where I preached at 11 a.m and addressed a well filled house at three p.m on "The Progress of the A M E Church in the West." Dr. Bentley of Pittsburg, Pa. discussed "The Growth of the Church in the East" while Dr. Ransom, the pastor and Dr W. W. Beckett discussed "The Growth of the Church Generally." Dre. Bentley and Vernon spoke at eight p.m. The writer accompanied Mr A W Manley, a former Kanean, to his hom in Newark, N. J., where we were pleasantly entertained. I preached at eight p.m to a crowded house, and was asked before leaving the platform by all the officers to be their pastor, but I was compelled to tell them that Kanman was good enough for me. By the way, our friend Manley will return to Kansas City soon to reside at his beautiful home on North Ninth street. Monday morning we met Bishops Grant and Gaines at Jersey City, from whence after breakfasting, we went to Forty-fifth street, and met Dr Booker T Washington who was awaiting our arrival. The writer did not accompany this groupe on account of other business, but they visited the home of the great philanthropist, Andrew Carnegie, where they discussed matters which I will not mention here, leaving all smiles, and an agreeable surprise awaits the people of the West. That evening we started for home, traveling sometimes through rain at other times through snow; but we reached Kansas sunshine on Wednesday There is no companion with whom one can travel more pleasant and interesting in conversation than Bishop Grant. Time seems so short when in his company, for all men, white or black, everywhere he goes seek to know him. Long may he live to bless his church, his church and mankind. When his day's work is done and he enters upon a nobler life, may his mantle fall upon some of his admirers. I am yours, J R RANSOM Notice to Subseribers: Miss Willa Smith, our circulation manager, will be in Kansas City all next week and those of our subscribers who owe for the paper to be prepared to settle.
