Now ere in the state have politi tic and political questions developed wider or greater interest than in the Third congressional district and nowhere in the district has such interest become more intense than in Montgomery county and the city of Independence, the home of two Re publict candidates for place on the state ticket. The interest in national politics is scarcely greater than that manifested in the race for nomination as Republican candidate for Judge of the District court, between Hor. Thomas J. Flannelly, the present incumbent of the office, and Mr. W. K. Zeigler, an attorney of Coffeyville, Kansas, who is a son in law of A. C. Stich, the manager of the WagstaF campaign. On a recent trip to Independence the manager of this paper called on Judge Flannelly and was impressed, as everyone is, with his uniform courtesy, manifested not only in private conversation but in the administration of his office and while printing as Judge of the court Judge Flannelly has the applause and endorsement of a large majority of the members of his Bar and is erally regarded as possessing natural qualifications fully developed by education and training and experience to qualify him in a spec- istion as a providing judge.

Hon. E. J. Merriweather, Sheriff of Crawford county, was born in that county in 1878 and was reared on a farm. He served four years as undersheriff and made such an excellent record that the voters wisely elected him to the office two years ago. He is one of the best and most favorably known men in this section of the state and has a host of friends among all classes, who are enthusiastically pushing him for a second term.

Later on, six years ago, he moved to Independence, where he has since resided, and when Montgomery county was made a judicial district to itself he was again elected as judge of the District court and is now a candidate to succeed himself for the next judicial term of four years. Few judges of the District court have been confronted with more important legal questions, or disposed of them with greater credit to himself or satisfaction to attorneys and lttigants. Among his earlier decisions was one involving the use of highways for the piping of gas, which aroused considerable opposition at the time, but his decision having received the unanimous approval of the judges of the Supreme court and the fact that the highways are now being used to pipe gas into the county from Oklahoma have done much to disarm opposition on account of his decision. The further fact that his opponent is attorney for several gas companies, including the Kansas Natural Gas Company, in whose favor the decision was rendered, practically eliminated or neutralized opposition to it ground.

Up to the present time the judge has been constantly engaged in the discharge of the duties of his office and has had little time for his campaign, but from this on will give it more attention. He is regarded as an ethoient campaigner, and his many friends are working currently for his election, confidently predicting his success both at the primary and the regular election. Ed.

He asks a second term on his splendid record and the voters will see that Le gets it. Ray T. Osborn, who is asking the voters of Montgomery county for a second term as probate judge, is one of the brightest young lawyers in the state. He is pure gold and a gentleman of the highest type. As probate judge he has made one of the best officials that ever filled the office and at the coming election many who oppose the party will support him. Judge Osborn is a man of his word and his word is bond. He treats all alike, regardless of their station in life, and in doing so has made many warm friends all over the county. He will be nominated and elected by a large majority. GRAWTORD COUNTY. W. J. True, who has announced himself as a candidate for county attorney subject to the Republican primaries, is well known in the county, having been identified with Republican politics from the first appearance in Crawford county. Mr. True was born of German Austrian parentage, near Red Wing, Minn., in 1873. His father served in the civil war, where he contracted Bright's disease, which subsequently forced him to seek a warmer climate and he settled on the frontier of Texas, where young True was raised. Owing to the absence of schools he was deprived of early training, but at the age of 26 he entered the High school of Graham, Texas, graduating in 2 years 1 HON. J. W.

Mr. McNeal is clean, upright and honorable, and his nomination and election will advance Oklahoma in the galaxy of states. with first honore. He taught for a year in that school and then entered the law department of the University of Texas, gradua irg in 2 years with such high standing that he was at once elected as an instructor in law in the University for the 1904 term. After leaving the University Mr. True came to Pittsburg to visit his brother, Mr. John True, and so pleased with the city that he decided to remain. He located and engaged in the practice of law, Mr. True took an active part in the campaign of 1904, which had just opened when he came to the county. In 1906 he was a candidate on the Republican ticket for the nomination for county attorney, but was defeated for the nomination by D.H. Woolley, the present attorney. After the election he was appointed assistant prosecuting attorney and has filled that appointment since. On June 17, 1908, Mr. True was married while attending the Chicago Republican national convention, to Mr. Minnie LaFry, of Pittsburg. Mr. True is an vowed Re. publican of a lifetime and adhered to his belief when there were only four Republicans in the county that was his adopted home. R. J. Dickey, deputy clerk of the District court, settled in Crawford county in 1879. He has served four years as deputy under the present clerk of the court and also four years under the previous clerk. He is the best equipped man in the county for the position, knows every detail, and it would be all but suicide for the voters to think of nominating and electing any one else. Mr. Dickey needs no introduction to the people of the county as everyone knows him and all are familiar with his manly qualities. He has aided every move that tend ed to bring about prosperity to the county, and richly deserves the support of all. ALLEN COUNTY. J. H.

The judge is a staunch friend of labor and always assists any proposition this has for its object the advancement of mankind. He is well liked throughout the county and is sure to be reelected. BUSINESS CONCERNS AT INDEPENDENCE. The National Supply Co., of Kansas, located at this place, furnishes all of the oil and gas well supplies, machinery, cordage and pipe used in the fields of Kansas and Oklahoma. Mr. Gin, F.

FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1910. TOPEKA NEGROES SHOULD TOPEKA NEGROES SHOULD IMPROVE THEIR HOMES! For several weeks the editor of THE PLAINDEALER has been making observations throughout the state, and we note with great pleasure that the colored people are making commendable progress. Everywhere they are building nice, neat, comfortable homes save here in Topeka. A trip through Tennessee town will reveal not only a disgrace to the thrifty, enterprising members of the black race but to the city and state. The lawns are unkept and in many cases a bundle of old rags is substituted for window glass. Many have lived in these houses since the day ex-Gov. Saint John brought them from the South without ten cents worth of repair. The accumulation of old tin cans, bottles and other rubbish makes them look like everything else but a dwelling place of human beings. Topeka is the home of many Negroes who want to lead the procession. They are long on lodges, pink teas, swell dress balls, etc., while at home it would take a government surveyor to pilot a stranger to the house through the weeds and other old rubbish. It is different with the Negro in the smaller Kansas towns. He is short on lodges and society stunts but long on nice houses and beautiful lawns. He is an excellent example of what is required to become a useful and desirable citizen. In North Topeka conditions are pretty much the same. In some localities colored people are living in houses that are liable to tumble down at any minute. Such unsanitary shacks breeds consumption and impare the value of property owned by others in the community who spend time and money keeping their places in good condition. "Across the creek" things are better. Several nice houses have been erected and they have shown a liberality in the use of paint. However they too can show more activity along the lines of home building. Let the Negroes of Topaka get busy—entertain less and improve their property. Can one blame white people from objecting to Negroes moving a into community with such sights so prevalent over the city? Congressman Dan R. Anthony has made good in Kansas and the First district and his majority will be double that of two years ago. He is a "regular" Republican and stands by the party. The people love him and he can stay in Congress as long as he chooses or go to the Senate. Kansas truthfully and proudly boasts of the largest and best butter-making plant in the whole world. The Continental Creamery company located in Topeka has completely evolutionized the butter-making business. The product of this concern is as well known and popular in foreign lands as at home. "Meadow Gold Butter" is the pride of the Continental Creamery company and has a place in the markets of the world that has never been approached by any other like concerns One who visits Topeka and fails to see the inside workings of this mammoth concern has certainly missed one of the most interesting and instructive sights in the whole world. This in itself is a school of instruction the most marvelous sight ever witnessed in the manufacture of butter. The old wooden churn has made its final exit; every drop of milk is utilized. The large quantities of buttermilk that has heretofore been wasted or thrown away is used in the manufacture of toilet articles, buttoas, knife handles, etc. The great subway in New York City, one of the prettiest and most attractive ever constructed is finished in material made from the buttermilk produced by the Continental Creamery company. This concern has made Kansas and Topeka great and is an agency through which millions of dollars heretofore spent elsewhere is brought to Kansas. The Continental Creamery company was hatched in the cradle of confidence and reared on the milk of prosperity. It is managed by the best and most competent business men to be found anywhere. They are thorough business men-courteous, kind, polite, easy to approach and always ready to assist Kansas and her people. They have put more dollars into the pockets of Kansas farmers than any other concern in the state. This writer had the pleasure of visiting their mammoth plant at Oklahoma City a few weeks ago and must confess that it is one of the must prosperous institutions in the new state, and is making commendable strides for the place occupied by the headquarters here in Topeka. Editorial Observations. We visited several towns and cities within the past ten days, collecting and soliciting new business for THE PLAINDEALER Emporia is a college town. A number of young colored women from this and other states attend the State Normal school, preparing themselves for teachers. Mesdames Phillips and Elliott board most of them. The most successful colored people in business are Clarence Tipton, the housemover, who employs from three to five men all the time. Ray's lunch counter, ice cream parlor; Richie's pool hall and cigar stand; Morris and Stafford's barber shop; Mrs Elliott, hairdressing and manicuring; Mrs. Weeks and Mrs. Harris, caterers; Rev. Gibson, contractor and builder, Stanley Wilson, stone contractor. At Newton all the colored people own their homes, which are all pretty fair; no shacks nor tin cans, broken windows nor dirty yards to greet the visitor. R. L. Malone, the widower, would take a good woman to be his wife, is well fixed, owns a good home, a nine room two story house, and is doing a good junk business and stands. W. R. Revely owns a two story brick on the main street; runs his barbershop on the lower floor and rents the upper story. The property is worth $8,000. Mrs. Lulu Miller and husband own a fine home. A. L. Turner, a stone mason, lives with his brother who is worth $25,-000 and owns one of the best farms in Harvey county and a cottage in town. Mr. Ramey, who contracts plaster ing and stone work, owns more property in Newton than any one. He is worth about $20,000 or $30,000 Charles Chiles, Sr., owns several pieces valuable property. He deals in junk and is as active as his health will permit. Rev. Garnett, the Baptist minister, has bought two lots for his new church in the best part of town, where a fine structure will be built. The church raised over $500 at the last rally and is out of debt. HUTCHINSON In this town the colored people are the marvel of the twentieth century. All the progressive ones own good houses from four and six room cottages to eight room two story dwellings. Fine and well-kept front yards. The most attractive home that we saw was that of Mr. and Mrs W A. Harris. He is seventy years old and owns good home gardens, town lots and raised over 200 bushels of sweet potatoes on four rows. His wife, who is fifty-eight, has several hundred chickens. She is industrious and gives all of her time to the care of the cows, horses, chickens and garden. They raise peas, cabbage, beans and other vegetables for market. B. J. Jackson has completed a fine cottage; also W. L. Owens and H. B. — W. C. Madison owns good property. George Saunders, the barber, is doing good business, has a fine home and is a progressive man. The business among colored people is not so extensive. Mrs. J. W Davis conducts the only first class restaurant, lunch counter and ice cream parlor at 428 South Main. Mrs. Emma Kennedy owns a fine ice cream parlor and soda fountain. Walter Evans is our correspondent. G, M. Harrison, ex-policeman, is making money growing plants and vegetables for market. Chickens and hogs are his long suit. GREAT DEND.

A Popular Teacher Weds. At the closing of the public schools in Leavenworth Friday of last week, Miss Laura Anderson, amid smiles and tears of joy and happiness announced to the patrons and little ones that she wished to bid each and all good-bye, that she would serve them no more and wiping away a tear, blushingly told of her marriage to Mr. William M. Hamilton, ward master in the hospital corps of the U. S. A. Such a scene will doubtless never again be enacted in the history of the schools of Leavenworth. The "good-bye" will remain fresh in the memory of the children long after they are gray haired men and women. With them, it was like parting with a beloved sister, and mothers cried as they thronged about her to offer congratulations and say farewell. Miss Anderson had been with them eleven years which made the parting more keenly felt. She shared with them in all of their joys and sorrows; always offering encouragement and pointing the way to the discouraged and distressed. Miss Anderson is the highest type of the best there is in womanhood — educated, culturd, refined and possesses a disposition as sweet as the Jasamines of the Sanny Southland. She has woven herself so completely into the hearts of young and old that it seemed almost impossible for them to give her up and it will be a long time before another will occupy a like position in their good graces. As an educator Miss Anderson ranks in class A. She is a native of Olney, Ill., and after graduating from the High school of her home city attended the Terre Haute State Normal and also the Cook County Normal. She is thrifty and enterprising and during her eleven years stay in the state she has managed to accumulate a good, healthy bank account besides purchasing 160 acres of the best farm land in Kansas. The groom, Mr. William M. Hamilton is practically unknown to this writer having met him but once but the fact that he is an old Kansas boy is sufficient unto itself to guarantee that he is in every way worthy of the love of such an excellent young lady. He has served in the hospital corps of the U. S.A. for many years and all of his discharge papers are marked character "excellent." Mr. Hamilton has considerable foreign service to his credit and it will not be long before he is retired. He is a man of sound business judgment and can lay his finger on the lion's share of his earnings. Mrs Hamilton left immediately after the close of her school for Burliogton, Vermont, where she will join her husband. May their joys never be interrupted only by an occasional annual squall is the wish of THE PLAINDEALER and a wide circle of admiring friends. Newton's Auto Factory.

MARTIN, HONOR TO WHOM HONOR IS DUE. Bishop Grant said in his "Notes By the Way," to the Christian Recorder that Rev. T. W. Biggers is a bundle of energy and would be a useful man in any city. Recently our good pastor, Rev. Biggers, completed a course in short hand and type writing, under Prof. C. A. Biggers, president of the Biggest Business College, Muskegee, Okla. There were twelve graduates in the class of 1810, and the exercises were held in the Second Baptist Church of Macknee, on May 19th Doctor Jones, pastor of the church, left one of the graduates. The Dallas Express, of Dallas, Texas, carried that this was the greatest event of this kind ever held in the section of the country On Rev. Biggard's return from Yukkzee to his church in Atterbury, his members and friends, being apprehensive of their pastor's achievement, planned a reception in his absence. On his return they came quietly from every section of the city and rushed into the parsonage chanting sweet strains of music, their faces beaming with smiles, and presented him with a silver offering, with compliments and best wishes of the church and community at large for his successful victories along all lines. In due time refreshments were served, and the large crowd, having bid the pastor and three wife good night, vanished as quick as a flash, leaving the minister and his wife standing in the room, looking pleasant but very much bewildered over the newly made history. Kes Biggers is a young man with great thought; he is full of energy, push and magnetism. He spends the morning of each working day in his study, and the afternoons working with the church, caring to the sick, etc. The Reverend and his members are making great preparations for the entertainment of the District conference and the Sunday School convention of the Omaha district, that will convene in Archison, June the 21st.
