PEKA PLAINDEALER Simms for County Commissioner, and Dickson for County Clerk Sounds Good to Everybody! IS GOV. STUBBS A LYNCHER? Suspicion Points to His Having Participated in a Lynching Bee--- He Loved "Old John" Governor Stubbs, the great reformer and leading everything indifferent, good or bad of Kansas, please tell the voters of Kansas and the Christian and church people, where were you early Sunday morning, July 11th. 1832, when Pete Vinegar, George Robertson and Isaac King, three colored men, were lynched from the Kaw River bridge at Lawrence, by a mob Tell us where were you at 11 o'clock, Sunday morning of that day. Were you at church? We await your answer. If you can't answer let your Solomonian private secretary, Dave Leahy, answer, as he seems to know everything for you and that you don't know. From what we hear it looks as though you might have a guilty knowledge of taking a hand in the American white man's favorite pastime, lynching Negroes. Your career and your associations point strongly to your guilt. A few people of Lawrence have suspicioned you since it happened. You were a little wild and woolly about that time, championing that for which you will ask the next Legislature to send men to the penniten. tiary. For, of course, whiskey flowed freely the night that sport of lynching was put on by either you or your friends. We can see how readily you see the harm in old man John. We heard some very straight news about your being suspected in connection with the lynching. Daar Governor, tell us where you were on the Lord's day, early Sunday morning of June 11th, 1992, when Peter Vinegar, George Robertson and Isaac King were lynched off the Daw River bridge. If you can show the people how you became a millionaire within twenty-five years, and say you came by it honestly, after your career in Lawrence, we will vote for you. People, don't be lead off after this haunted reformer, his ill-gotten gains haunt him. Misery loves company, and he thinks all corporations have done like him. The Scriptures say, give all you have, (if dishonestly obtained) and follow Christ. Stubbs has not done so. Stubbs Wants Jim Crow Laws. In the Republican Platform drawn by Stubbs, appears the following plank: [b] To submit to the people of Kansas a constitutional amendment in 1912 giving them the right to initiate legislation and vote upon certain legislative amendments—the amendments that have been adopted by the states of Maiae, Oregon and South Dakota, with a five per cent petition for a referendum vote and eight per cent. for an initiative vote. You will notice by this plank that Stubbs proposes to amend the constitution by a petition of eight per cent. of the voters. What is the reason for this eight per cent. demand? It is perfectly easy to understand if one stops to think. Stubbs wants it, so if the colored people do not do his bidding, he can with an eight per cent petition pass a law for separate schools—or a "Jim Crow" law, or any such kindred legislation against our people. The Democrats don't ask for an eight per cent. referendum law. VOLUME XII.

Baptist State Convention! The Baptist State Convention held its annual session in the auditorium, Forest Park, Ottawa, Ka., last week. There was a large gathering of messengers from all over the state. E. Arlington Wilson, president, is to be congratulated on his splendid work he has achieved since filling that position. He has built an Old Folks Home, now paying its way. --- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, OCT. 14, 1910. The address of welcome and the responses were the best we ever heard. There was some great talent at this gathering. The speech which took the convention by storm was the one made by Henry I. Monroe, president of the Baptist State Sunday School convention. Rev W. A. Elliott, of the white Baptists of Ottawa, and Dr C. K. Price, president of the Ottawa University, welcomed the messengers, telling them, as most white speakers tell colored people, that they had their destinies in their own hands; that no other race could do for them—that is up to the Negro. Never asked them to presch. or to visit the school. In reply H. I. told them that it required a brave white man to stand up and demand fair play for the colored man; that he was afraid of ostracism. There were no more Johu Browns or Lovejoys in the white race, to defend the cause of right to the black man. But, my friends, you have got to help us if we are to succeed. We want you to open up your work shops and other places where my race may be permitted to earn a livelihood. If we don't make good then say we are not worthy of citizenship. Be fair; be brave. Don't shirk your Christian duty because a majority of your race is against us. When he concluded a great cheer went up, whilst the white minister and the professor looked dumbfounded. They did not expect to meet so many frequent and ed. JOHN H. HENRY I MONROE nicated men of the race. There were several papers read and lectures delivered. More money was collected this year than ever before in the history of the church The president's annual address was heartily received and after the reading he was re-elected by a rising vote. Rev C R Rimy of Great Bend, vice president, is one of the strongest men of the convention and never missed a meeting. Rev F. J. Hammond, pastor, the members and citizens are to be congratulated on the splendid manner and way they cared for the people. John E. Lewis, the secretary, Mr. Corvine Patterson, Rev George McNeal, Merdames Gaines and Mc. Adoo, state ministerary H Vanlue are familiar faces at all conventions aud Moderator Cox of Smoky Hill, always takes the banner. The convention will meet with Rev Henry of the 1st Baptist church of Topeka, in 1911. Rev S. W. Bacote, the statistician, spoke in the afternoon and be certainly known all about the doings of their church all over the world. He can give figures that are interesting, and his book is much sought after. Claims Democrats are Jefferson City, Mo Robert S. Rutledge of New Madrid, is no opposed to the Negro plank in the Democratic state platform that he has withdrawn from the race for United States Senator. Rutledge believes that the Dsmocrata made a mistake by the inner- tion of this plank which is construed as a bid for the support of the Negroes, and he declines to run with it in the platform. When Ratledge filed his announcement with the secretary of state he filed a statement in which he said that "the burden of government should be borne by the white man." His withdrawal reached the secretary of state today and his name will not be printed on the official ballot. This leavee six Democrats in the race. The Negro plank in the Democratic platform reads: "The Democratic party * * never has and will not discriminate against the Negro race, either by criminal laws or on the question of their right to franchise, and we deplore the action of the present chief executive of this state in seeking to make political capital by creating race antagonism. --- Stand still and see the salvation of the Lord. The Democrats have declared that they are opposed to any further black laws being put on the statute books. This is a great step forward. Now let the Democrats of the southern states do likewise There ought to come a time when foo should stop urging class against class and race against race Just think of all Missionri, where the great Dred Scott case held the attention of the legal lights of this country for months when it was decided that a Negro had no rights that a white man was bound to respect, and where the Democrats have lived according to the same policies until in recent years when they refused to enact Jim Crow laws. Then it was that the wise leaders came to the front and prevented the enactment of such laws, which were passed by the ignorant men of the party. It would be a wise plan for the Missouri colored voters to cautiously divide their votes. At this time a white Democrat and a white Republican rank about the same—there are good and bad in both parties. Whenever the Democratic party acknowledges that the colored man is a human and entitled to all that he merits, then we should give them support. Just as soon as they learn to discriminate between the intelligent horse and progressive Negro and the nil, worthless one, the sooner the race will be voting and acting with that party as well as with any other party which considers their rights and privileges. Let the wise leaders of the God-forsaken South where the question of color preys upon the diseased minds of an ignorant people, take hold and eradicate the evils which such loonsness causes. We are for the right, not for color. Reno County Politics. Should K. C. Beck, the Democratic nominee for Sheriff, receive the Negro vote of Reno county? He should not. He is not entitled to a single Negro vote. Ber" says that he loves the Negro, and if elected sheriff will do great things for him. Why has he not been doing something for the Negro already? He is the owner of Riverside Park; he has a number of people working for him; why does he not employ a few Negroes? He admits the Negro to his park and the Negro pays him 10 cents admission the same as any one else. Is that any NUMBER 41 reason why the Negro should vote for Beck—because he allows them to come and spend their money with him Beok is not the man for sheriff, and the Negroes should see to it that he is not elected to that office. Beuk is another Bryan. He is a standing candidate. He is making his third race as a candidate for sheriff. Chas. N. Wooddell, the Republican candidate for sheriff, will defeat Beok in November, and he will also defeat him two years hence, for Beok will be a candidate for sheriff in 1912. The Negroes want some recognition; and they will get something if they elect C. N. Wooddell sheriff of Reno county. Hutchinson has a Democratic administration now; what is the Negro getting? Not a thing. Only one Negro working on the street No Negro policemen any more. That is what the Negro gets when a Democrat is elected to office. Beck him promised to do much for the Negro if he is elected Beck will take care of the Democrat: and the Negro can go vote for Wooddell and get something. SPRINGFIELD, NO. There was a most excellent program rendered by the teachers of the city and others on Friday evening, Oct 7th, and all who missed it lost a rare treat. The reception was given in honor of Rev. J. H. Allen and wife just before their departure for conference. Lovely souvenirs were presented by pantor and wife to their many friends.

Thompkins to be its personal representative in the matter of selecting a corps of Negro nurses and internes for the old general hospital which has been given over to that race. The board announced that it had selected Dr. Thompkins because of the remarkable record he made during the summer while working among the Negro people in the child hygiene department. It will be Dr. Thompkins' duty to get in touch with the different Negro colleges and hospitals over the country in making his selection of nurses and internes which the board said it would receive on his recommendation. THE RIGHT MAN Every colored voter in Leavenworth should vote for Mr. Benjamin E. Endres, the Republican candidate for judge of the district court, if for no other reason than the fact that he had the courage to get out nomination papers and to take a stand for the people in spite of the fact that the attorney general rendered an opinion that no vacancy existed in that office. Mr. Endres has always been a friend to the colored people, and he has never, as a lawyer, refused to render legal services for colored clients who were unable to pay an attorney fee. The bold stand that he took in the face of the general opinion among lawyers that no vacancy existed in the office or judge of the district court has won for him the admiration of his constituents. Mr. Endress is undoubtedly qualified for the office and should be rewarded by election. The colored will make no mistake by voting for him. As a police judge he was a success; in his present position as city attorney he is giving an affair and it is conceded by all who know him that he will make a just and fair judge of the district court. THE VOTERS IN DRY COUNTIES! By Wm. Preston Hill, M. D., Ph. D. President Missouri Referendum League The voters in the dry counties are in a peculiar position in regard to the Prohibition amendment at the next Missouri election. Their 76 counties, or two thirds of the state, ALREADY HAVE LOCAL PROHIBITION and they WILL NOT HAVE MORE OF IT BY FORCING IT ON THE BALANCE OF THE STATE (except in the comparatively few instances where there still remains a wet city in a dry county). Now, it is always good policy to let well enough alone. When you already have what you want, you may lose what you have by trying to grab more. The old sable tells us of a dog who lost the piece of meat in his mouth by trying to grab its reflection in the water. This may be the case with the prohibitionists in the dry counties: they may lose the ground they have already gained by so much struggle and sacrifice, in the effort to force their remedy on those who do not want it. If state-wide prohibition is adopted it takes the place of ALL OUR LOCAL OPTION SYSTEM and this is thereby replaced. Now, the local option system includes some strong state laws which make it possible to enforce prohibition in the counties wanting it. There is the law prohibiting the establishing of warehouses where alcoholic beverages may be stored subject to individual ownership and the law regulating express companies in the handling of this product in the dry counties. These laws will be superseded by this constitutional amendment and will immediately open the door to the introduction of the blind tiger and other evasions of prohibition in the dry counties, so that the first effect of state-wide prohibition will be a less rigid enforcement of the law in the dry counties. Furthermore, it is probable statewide prohibition, if adopted will prove so disastrous to the industrial and commercial interests of the state and bring ruin to so many thousands of people that it would arouse a storm of protest and resentment which would soon provoke a reaction and force its repeal in a few years. In that case, the local option laws having all been superseded by this amendment, it would leave us without any laws on the subject, to begin again from the foundation with legislation on the liquor question, and to fight the local option battles over once more. It is no figure of speech, therefore, to say the dry counties are in danger of losing what they already have in their attempt to force their will on the balance of the state, In addition to this, the destruction of the nearly two hundred million dollars invested in the manufacture of these products in this state and the consequent loss of the millions of dollars annually which they pay in taxes will compell a re-adjustment of the system of taxation. The figures have been carefully compiled in the state auditor's office and it has been estimated it will cause an increase in the state taxes of 50 per cent. In other words, the man who now pays 450 in taxes yearly will then have to pay 775. What benefit will you receive for this additional land which you will place upon yourselves? Are you willing to pay money out of your own pocket to drive this industry out of the state? Are you willing to incur expense for the slight satisfaction of having the beer manufactured in Illinois instead of Missouri? Will changing the place of the manufacture have any effect whatever on temperance or prohibition in your counties? What difference does it make to you whether the large cities are wet or dry? Why not give them the same square deal they gave you and allow them to decide this question for themselves? Are you willing to assume additional burdens in order to impose your system on them? It does make a difference to you whether these cities are prosperous or not. They are large consumers of the farmers' produce. If they suffer great financial depression and loss of population it is certain to react on every county in the state and you will share in the loss. To summarize, therefore: There is no possible benefit, either moral or financial, that can accrue to the dry counties from the adoption of this amendment and the damage will be immediate and certain. It will decrease rather than increase the effectiveness of prohibition laws. In a word, you are asked to vote on a proposition in which you have everything to lose and nothing to gain. It is a question of "tails you lose, heals they win." LAWRENCE, KAN. Rev. W. R. Boone of Chicago, representative of the Noxubee Industrial school at McLeod school, was in Lawrence last week.

Prof. H. T. Kealing of Nashville, Tenn., the well known editor of the A. M. E. Review, is out in a new book called "Church Problems," which is proving one of the best sellers of the times. The book is not denominational, but grapples with questions and problems common to all the churches; and this coupled with that terse, nervous and witty style which characterizes all that he writes, accounts for the desire of the public to read the book. What he says about right and wrong ways of raising a collection is likely to cause a "come back" from some of the brethren.
