Mr. Betts is one of the largest contractors in the middle west He attended in Shawnee County for over forty years, and employs more colored labor than any five men in the county. He likes them, and will go out of his way at any hour of the day or night to assist any of them when called upon. Of all the men who have worked for him, we have yet to hear one say that he was not fair, square and honorable; and every man who has ever worked an hour for him is putting forth every effort to secure his nomination. Personally, Mr. Bettn it a splendid fellow—no fruits or pretentions air. He is just a plain, common man, who has worked his way up from the ranks of those who toll. He is a self made man, one who has made a success of his personal affairs; and if entrusted to do business for the people, he will use the same care and energy that characterizes his own success. He knows how to sympathize with labor, have worked himself, he always pays the highest wage possible.

A PEEP AT SOME OF THE WINNERS! Manager Griffin, who is winding a careful tour of the state, in looking through the political Lorraine writes: "In the Second district a strong effort is being put forth to defeat Congressman Scott, but viewing the matter from a non-partisan standpoint and after a careful personal investigation, we find that the efforts of opposition are bound to fall short. Charles Scott has accomplished more than any representative the district ever and the people are loud in their voice of law for He is in right and they are going to keep them in congress. Continuing he says: "In the Fourth they are trying to build a fire under Congressman Miller, another champion of the people, but the night is failing to bear fruit. Miller's magnificent record so completely overshadows the dimsy charges against him that by the time the polls open August 23, the howling few will have fallen in line with the great mass that stand for true Republicanism." "Congressman Calderhead is whooping things up in the Fifth. He stands with the people, knows their, wants and is always on the right side." "Tom Cordry for state printer is one of the principal topics of conversation in ever rook and corner of the state. The Parsons editor popular with the newspaper boys and all are whooping it up for him. He is a jolly, good fellow and has many warm friends among the colored people." Ike S. Lewis. of Saint John, candidate for state superintendent of insurance has had twelve years experience in that department. He is now assistant and knows the history of every company doing business in Kansas and how to conduct the affairs of the office so as to satisfy all parties concerned; Kansas should should show her appreciation of such a valuable man by placing him at the THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN IKI S.

The people of Kansas gladly welcome Senator Curtis. They feel and know that he has performed his duty faithfully and well, that he has represented Kansas and Kansas sentiment. Senator Curtis has stood pat on every promise laid down in the party platform and this is all his constituents expected of him. He stood by President Taft and Kansas is for Taft and every single idea advocated by him. The return of Senator Curtis is indeed a source of great pleasure to all good, true Republican and a warm welcome awaits him in every city and hamlet in Kansas. the companies and the people. He is honorable in all of his dealings and one of the best clerical men in the west having made a specialty of this work from the fact that he has but one arm with which to earn a livelihood and chose this line of work. His many friends are sup porting him because he is especially adapted himself to this kind of work. He is receiving hundreds of letters from all parts of the state pledging support to him. This county has endorsed him and all are working for his nomination. Matt Weightman. Matt Weightman, Jr. Republic can candidate for county treasurer, has resided in Shawnee county for thirty-seven years. He is an active young business man having conducted a successful drug business in Topeka for the past seventeen years. Mr. Weightman has never held or been a candidate for a city or county office, always working for the good of the patty and the other fellow. He is a staunch Republican, gentlemanly and square, JUDGE C. B. GRAVES. The places on the supreme bench are the most important to the people of any state, and great care and judgment should be used in selecting men to fill these responsible places. For years we have eagerly watched the members of the supreme bench in Kansas and have noted with pride the high standard maintained by that august body. When Judge Charles B. Graves was elevated to the supreme bench, Kansas showed wisdom and a ready disposition to maintain the high standard of her supreme court Judge Graves was appointed to fill out the unexpired term of Judge Cunningham, of Emporia, and he has fully sustained the expectations of his friends. We have always maintained ody of Mr. Johnson and his intentions are inspiring and everyone was glad he con- (Stubb- ) is responsible for the people of Kansas gladly welcome all know that he has performed his he has represented Kansas and Curtis has stood pat on every platform and this is all his con- he stood by President Taft and single idea advocated by him. The need a source of great pleasure to a warm welcome awaits him as. that the supreme court should be elevated above the oft corrupt whirl pool of politics, that such positions should seek the man and in doing perpetuate its high standard of purity. While Judge Graves is a Republican, his appointment to the supreme bench was made purely on merit, nor has anyone ever knew of this eminent jurist jocking and trading with politicians in order to retain his place. We have never favored making changes in this department of government. Once we get a good man, press him into the service just as long as he will serve. Judge Graves is a man of wide experience and a splendid legal training. He has lived in Kansas since '59 coming here from Indiana his native heath. He was admitted to the bar in '60 and was elected district judge in 1838 while a resident of Burlington and served in that position twelve years. While in this office he developed judicial ability of such a high order as to attract the attention of the governor who at his first opportunity placed him upon the supreme bench Judge Graves is a man of the people, a learned jurist whose knowledge of the law and experience has added dignity to the supreme court of Kansas. During the late Civil War Judge Graves was one of the first to respond to his country's call and served four years for the cause of right, justice and humanity. He was a member of Ninth Kansas and was on the "firing line" till the close. The Judge is ever on the side offright and Kansas is not going to make a fatal mistake by failing to retain him on the supreme bench. --- NUMBER 27 are inspiring and he con- tle for the ally welcome performed his Kansas and t on every all his con- t Taft and him.

NANSAS CITY Samuel Stewart, candidate for treasurer of Wyandotte county, is a prosperous business man, having conducted a first class fancy and staple grocery for years. The concensus of opinion is that he will be nominated almost without opposition being supported by all classes who respect him for his fairness and honesty of purpose. His son, a prominent young business man, has many friends who are supporting his father. Frederick Frazier and wife of Kansas City, Mo. are visiting Press Frazier and wife at Great Bend. We are glad to note the triumphal tour of Attorne W. C. Houston of Kansas City, Mo, one of the foremost lawyers of the West as well as a politician and orator, who just returned from the East and South. He was royally entertained at Chicago, and Louisville and Washington and several other points. He is a graduate of Kansas University and is accumulating wealth and property and is said to be a prominent young man of his state. No Negro can expect to be called a lawyer unless he comes up to the standard of Lawyer Houston. DOCGLASS COUNTY D. F.

Carmean, candidate for Sheriff, is a pioneer, and a thoroughgoing Republican. Was chief of police in Lawrence a number of years. Is a conscientious gentleman, who, if elected sheriff will fulfil the duties of the office. FIRST DISTRICT SITUATION. Frank Jarrell in the Holton Signal. The Topeka Journal last week printed a review of the Anthony-McNeal contest in the First District, giving both sides of the controversy. Many Republicans well known over the district were interviewed. Those who read the interviews must have been impressed with the confidence shown by the men interviewed on the Anthony side. Perhaps the strongest statement printed a from Judge W. A. Jackson, of the Atchison county district court, who said the Anthony's majority in Atchison county would be larger than McNeal's vote. In 1900 Leand polled 100 votes in Atchison county and Stubbs polled 540. Leand's ma jority was 925, which, it will be seen, was larger than Stubb's vote Judge Jackson said that Leland's vote represented the Republican or ganization in Atchison county. Anthony, he said, would get that vote, and also an independent farmer vote which Leland did not have two years ago. Judge Jackson places Anthony's majority in Atchison county at from 1,000 to 1,200. Anthony men in Jefferson county said that county would go for the Leavenworth man by from 200 to 300. The McNeal men said the county would be close. Judge Marshall Gephart, a Democrat who keeps his ear to the ground, said Anthony's majority in Jefferson would be more than 200. The situation in Brown county has been improved from an Anthony standpoint by the appropriation of $7,500 for a post office building site at Hiawatha. The McNeal men said Anthony was bluffing with his post office building bill, and the success of the measure gave them a set back. F. M. Pearl, editor of the Hiawatha Democrat and chairman of the Democratic congressional committee, said Anthony would carry Brown county by 200. Both sides claim Nemaha county by a small majority. J. P. Stephenson, a farmer near Nabetha, who is chairman of the Nemaha county Republican committee, says that Anthony's majority in the county will be from 200 to 300. Doniphan county is only a question of majority. The Anthony fellows say they will carry it by from 600 to 800. The McNeal fellows say they will lose it by only 300. Cy Leland, who is for Stubbe, is an ardent supporter of Anthony. McNeal's people claim Jackson county by from 150 to 200. The Anthony people claim it by from 200 to 300, Judge Broderick, A. E. Crane, W. A. Thompson, Clark Tucker and that crowd are confident that Anthony will have 300 majority. W. T. Beck has never guessed more than two hundred for McNeal. The Holton postoffice building bill will help Anthony. The opinion prevails that Anthony will carry Leavenworth by a larger majority than McNeal will carry Shawnee, McNeal expects to have 1,000 majority in Shawnee but many Republicans in Topeka say he will do well if he gets 500 majority in that county. Anthony expects to carry Leavenworth county by 2,000 but the McNeal men say they will cut that 500. Anthony, up to this time, has made no campaign, except to write some letters, but he is home from Washington now, and will look after his interests. McNeal started his campaign last year and has been going around over the district ever since. The estimate of Anthony's majority in the district, based on the Topeka Journal's reports, is from 2,500 to 3,000. The best that can be made out of the McNeal laims is that it will be close. Judge T. J. Flannelly, the present district Judge of Montgomery county is sure to succeed himself. He has been a splendid official, giving the people a good, honest,clean administration and they are going to keep him on the bench. Judge Flannelly is one of the most popular and influential men in this section of the state. He is well liked and has many very warm personal friends. JOHNSON IS STILL WORLD'S CHAMPION! Takes Only Fifteen Rounds to Show Big White That Color Can't Predominate Over Brains and Skill. Now that Jack Johnson has won the title of being the best physical man in the world by defeating Jim Jefferies, who held the title for yeare, it should be accepted by all good, honest people as a just verdict. The color line should not be dragged into contests for superiority. A majority of the American white people injected color into the contest as soon as the articles of agreement had been signed, going so far as to say that Jefferies must bring the title back to the white race where it rightfully belonged. This was kept up by the lower element of whites--calling Johneon all kinds of alias names--reflecting on the colored race as being unit to measure arms with the whites. The same God created both Johnson and Jefferies, Jefferies found this out July 4, 1910, as did also the class of whites who worship white gods. We believe in men, not colored, not white, not red, not yellow, but MEN. No country on the face of the globe is so strongly cursed with prejudice as America. In the Old World people differ on religion, wealth and supremacy of power and one finds them of different colors on either side. When it comes to individuality all are given credit for whatever they merit, but in America no matter how industrious and efficient if there is the slightest trace of Negro blood in a man or woman, they are boycotted, ostracised and unionized against and for what we cannot see. All trades and commercial industries are closed against them if they happen to come in competition with white people. How can such hypocrite pray to God who knows their deceitful heart and lieing tongue? How can they ever hope to reach heaven beneath such a load of race hatred? Jack Johnson won the championship in Australia and not a word was uttered against him on account of his color, and on the 4th, the sports on the other side of the globe played him on the long end of the betting odds, but poor, old blind America stood by her white god and saw him go down in defeat before an audience of twenty thousand people of whom fifteen thousand were worshiping at the shrine of a white idol. They believed it impossible for his opponent to win simply because he happened to be black. Not so! Jeff's mother is a woman. is also Johnson's and all must pay out of the world. Since this is true then why does so many white people make fools of themselves? They are no more than any other race when it comes to life consisting of blood, flesh and bone. The development of the body and the proper use is put to what counts in life. We believe in the merit system. What a man earns let him have it. The telegraph tells of a few foolish officials who will try to prevent the exhibiting of the moving pictures claiming it will create race feeling. Why should it? The colored people will not create a disturbance because Johnson was victorious and the whites should not because Jefferson failed to "come back." Nothing but fool would resort to much unanimity acts. The Dixon's Claimman really creates a balloon between the races, and we have yet to hear of a chance of drawing his voice against it being presented. Had Jefferson won these officials would have been sitting for the picture to be exhibited before their Sunday School's and in their parlors. This should be a free country and those who do not want to see the pictures should stay away. We expect the silly Southerner to object and are somewhat surprised at a Western or Northern community doing such. Much credit is due the Governor of Nevada, the officiale and the citizen of Reno for giving Jack Johnson a fair, square deal. No color went with them. We be believe in fair play. color cuts no figure with us. Had Jeffries been the victor, we would sing his praise as loud as we have Johnson's and would be just as eager to see the motion pictures. The better class of white and colored people should stand together and kill off all things and race haters be they white or black. We have no use for such people. We stand for principle, not color. Jack Johnson in Jeffries's master in every respect. He is intelligent, kind, courteous, polite and above all a gentleman. In his stewardess be fore the battle he never once raised the color question, as he well knew the soldier not seeing the battle one way or the other. It was a victory of train, drawn and muscle over an ignorant, sulky fellow blinded by prejudice. Jeffries was the first to raise the cry of "bring a back to the white race" and actually believed he could win over Johnson simply because his skin is black and as a result he is a saddler but water man. Joroneau's story is a great blessing to the colored race in America and means much good for those of the race who think all of the whites are against them. Johnson had a host of good white men behind him which gave him the courage to bring out what was in him. His fondest hope was to become champion of the world and he worked hard to reach the height of his ambition. White men of means and brain noticed this and they immediately took up the task of putting him forward. He proved to them that he was worthy of their confidence and assistance as all young Negroes can do along all the purest of life. The victory of Johnson will go a long way toward proving that a colored man if given an opportunity will accomplish as much toward developing the country as the white. They will relax gradually on the mythical idea that it takes color to win, another reason the American white man will have to accept Johnson when the time comes to go forth and night a foreign foe. Both man got wealthy and Jeff admits that the defeat was fair; then why not all lay sede prejudice and rally under the banner of the best man reverdlees of co. cr. Editorial Observations.

HAYNES. candidate for re-election to the office of county assessor, is well known throughout Shawnee county, having served as county commissioner. Mr. Haynes is thoroughly familiar with every want and need of the people and has always given good, honest and faithful service in whatever capacity he has ever served them. He has always been a tried, true Republican and his popularity adds strength to the ticket. Personally he is a splendid fellow; courteous, kind, polite and a staunch friend of the colored race.

For more than a year, I have withheld the results of my recent investigations from the press, or now I am again compelled to ask you to find space in your columns for the following words. I trust that I shall be hurt but not sword years ago, I am pleased to promise on Senior Annual of Michigan University just the other day I would continue enough to place my hands upon the son of class 1910, Jayhawker. As I looked at the latter I wondered at the pictures of the young men graduates long built off together and at least have been and about those than other men. I could not believe that it be built than desire to be graduated to create such in Michigan America brought my mind a vivid picture to my vity in North in people who in all adhere that city is present than once. It my own expert which course is to be taken whilst it is in the law kill the will now, than later have it condone and nurse it in for that condition in Kansas in the state may not newer? is to warn more about the need of providing an evil from arising in youth, meaning and implying to them to relate a happening in State Normal, attended by young women. Several divisions in young women students of college present themselves to the directness of the chathouse for physical culture exercise then suppose they were not and they would have to take the nature in a close to themselves. At first meeting to one of our young women the directness made a show that the young women desired to be to them selves. Upon a second time she became somewhat angry, according to our information received, and said that the young white women students desired not to be in the same class with more students. his constitution of all the cities has made these work impossible for the student women of colour. Out of this state came a committee of three young women who waited upon President Hill for an explanation. Mr. Hill has been so busy that he has been able only to hear a decision. A decision he promises to give, would allow, before he leaves the city. Now I want to ask, What is the Master With Kansas? What are the tax powers and the leading negroes going to say. Will the people of Kansas still sit be and wait for time to settle those matters. Or will the Kansas citizens begin now to develop a better spirit between the two races? We were invited to come to Kansas where education was obtainable and where all men were classed equally. These two incidents, should say in closing, are not the only noticeable signs of growing prejudice. Several times, I am well informed, the negro students of the Kansas State Normal have assigned seats to themselves, but each time they successful young business support for the nomination Snawnee County. have rebelled against this act of unfairness. etcotote, in demonstrations of this kind, our own people have elected to say that it was our own fault. Must it now be said that our teachers and they constitute the student body in the summertime) are heaping this injustice upon themselves? I stop here and leave the question with you. KANSAS CITY, MO. One of the leading safety functions in Kansas City this summer was the wedding on Tuesday evening, at Miss Ruth Lane, only daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Knox of 1820 Woodland Ave. to Mr. Rosco Cookling Wasson, of this city. The marriage was at St Augustine Mission and the ceremony was performed by the Rev. J. Willett, pastor of the Parishal Mission and a small Miss Patty Thuman acted as barke mind, and Mr Raymond Know, but on of the barke is best man.
