White Men Live in Open Adultery With Colored Women at Shreveport, La....City Judge Blanchard Makes a Weak Attempt to Conceal True Conditions. A dispatch from Shreveport, La., to the New Orleans Picayune under date of December 28 says: That the police are endeavoring to break up the practice of members of the white and black races living together is shown by nine arrests reported today on the charge of violating the concubinage law. Five of the accused are white men. They are: V. L. Spilker, merchant; George Knidt, tinner; Sam Liner, grocery clerk; Walter Swadley, blacksmith, and J. O. Wright, carpenter. The arrest of the following mulatto women. found in rooms with men, is also reported: Katie Ware, Julia Hall, Evelyn Walker and Oliva Porter. The arrests were accomplished without trouble except in the case of Wright, with whom Kate Ware was found in a house outside of the district. Wright struck Detective T. D. Price when he started to apply the handcuffs and had to be clubbed by three officers before he was subdued. The most damaging evidence taken from his effects was a photograph of two couples, two men and two Negro women. Wright admitted in court that one couple was composed of the Ware woman and himself. City Judge Blanchard fined Wright and the Negro woman $100 and $50. respectfully, for occupying a room outside the district for immoral purposes. The concubinage charges were transferred to the district court. Vickie Willis, a Negress and C. Oliver white, were fined $50 each for using a house for immoral purposes." Several weeks ago THE PLAIN DEALER commenting on the above story of the Southern white man's hypocricy said: "From all appearances around Shreveport, La, the color line is fast being obliterated. The Southern white man is doing his best to make the North think that he believes the Negro inferior, but a letter to Judge Blanchard will reveal a far different story." C. Dearman, a prominent colored business man and manufacturer of Tulsa, Okla., read the paragraph, became interested and wrote Judge Blanchard, who replied as follows: Shreveport, La, Feb. 15, '11 Mr. C. Dearman, Tulsa, Oklahoma. Dear Sir: Acknowledge your letter enclosing clipping from Topeka, Kann. paper.* * Note from your letter that you are interested in this and crave further information. I know not to what this paper refers, as nothing has occured as yet since I have TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 24, 1911 been in public office affecting this question. But for your information, will state that I do not expect anything to occur relative to the "color line," as in this part of the country we are not troubled with the "color line" question—a negro is a negro here and nothing more, and always will be. Anyone not believing that a negro is by far inferior to a White Man in the South, and is not treated as such should visit the South just once. L C. BL.NCHAARD. City Judge. Judge Blanchard is evidently suffering from a lapse of memory as he seems to have forgotten the incident mentioned in the Picayune. But things of that kind are so common in the South, especially around Shreveport that it is looked upon as being clean and honorable. In many instances these moral miscarrages have been known to fight as quickly about their black concubines as they would about their wives. The learned Judge makes good our statement that the South is trying to make the North believe they have so much contempt for the Negro as is shown by his flimsy attempt to conceal facts from Mr. Dearman. Perhaps living in open adultery and rearing families by black women is the South's interpretation of "a Negro is a Negro here and nothing more." Think of it, the men mentioned in the Picayune are business men and mechanics and would be the first to object to colored people riding in a coach with them. How inconsistent that (?) pure-blooded, aristocratic South? When the Southern white man ceases to prostitute Negro women and gives all men an equal chance before the law and at the ballot box, then peace and happiness will reign supreme and the Judge's statement that "a Negro is a Negro here and nothing more" will bear some semblence of truth. Senate Gives Negroes Good Positions! In the State Senate we find more colored men than in previous years. The credit must be given to Senator J. H. Stavely of Osage county. When the reformer Ganse of the Stubbs hypocritical type of republicanism sought to set out the black boys Senator Staveley rose up in the might of his power and condemned the scene that aimed at the black men and black men alone. We believe that Senator Staveley is the proper man to take the measure of Fred Jackson for Congress, and should be selected as the man to make the race next year. We are also glad to note that Captain Lowes, sergeant at arms, and Mr. George Mohier, chief doorkeeper, are such splendid gentlemen as chief officer over the employes they have displayed splendid judgment; and their trea ment toward the employees has been the best. Success to them is the wish of THE PLAINDEALER The colored employees are as follows. P C. Thomas, guard; G W.

Tuesday morning at nine o'clock, surrounded by her family and friends, the spirit of Mrs. Winnie Patterson was waited to the God who gave it. She had been a sufferer from diabetes for many long, dreary months, and while the end was expected, it was a surprise and shock to all who knew her. It was the end of the earthly being of one of God's noble mothers, neighbors and friends—the closing scenes of a useful and well spent life. Here was the simpler life—the kind that gave a rose for every thorn and a smile for every shadow or sorrow that crossed the lives of those about her. She loved all that was beautiful, noble and true and was thoroughly devoted to her family and friends. Mrs. Patterson was the soul of energy and was always busy trying to accumulate, beautify and make her surroundings happy, and when the end came owned a good, comfortable home and was well provided for in her last days. Her gentle manners, kind heart and sunny disposition drew a legion of friends about her, and the tears of all have been saddened by the removal from our mist. An excellent example of true womanhood, love and devotion marked her every act, word and deed, and while she will be sadly missed, the noble sentiments generated by her will ever hover around us and serve as a guiding star toward the path of true Christianity. The deceased was a devoted Christian, having professed a faith in the Divine Creator in early womanhood. She came to Kansas about nineteen years ago, locating in this city and united with St John A. M. E. chur, b and ever remained a good, true and faithful member. She was born in Abbeville county, South Carolina, sixty-four years ago and went Green ville, South Carlonia when a mere girl and resided there until coming to Topeka. Funeral services were held yester day afternoon from Brown's Chapel, Rev. J. T. Smith, pastor of St, John A.M E church officiated, assisted by Rev P. D Davis, of Brown's chapel and Rev, Franklin of the Third Baptist church and Rev W B Nichols of Pittsburg The sermon was an able effor. Rev Smith paid a glowing tribute to the life and character of a woman who had lived in the way that God would have her go. She is survived by two children, Mr. Nick Chiles and Mrs Auna Noble; four brothers, one sister, three grandchildren and numerous relatives and friends. The floral offerings were profuse and lovely thus showing the esteem and respect in which she was hela At the church Rebecca Chapter N 8 O E N of which the deceased was a highly respected member conducted their beautiful but al service Her remains were interred in Mt Auburn cemetery. Thus marks the passing of one whose kindly acts and deeds will cause the world to be better on account of having lived in it. May angels guard her soul. We desire to thank the many friends and neighbors who assisted us during the illness of our dear mother, and also for the many beautiful floral offerings. NICK CHILES AND FAMILY. MRS. ANEA NOBLE.

In a short address to the students in the Chapel last night Mr. Schiff said: "I have long admired the work of Mr. Booker T. Washington and his co-laborers. But now that I have seen it, I cannot find words with which to express my surprise and gratification. It is far beyond anything that I had expected to see. As I walked through your grounds to day my heart filled with pride to find what had been accomplished by a single man in so short a time. It is an object less onto me that I shall never forget, and I am only sorry that I waited until the evening of my life to see what has been done here. It has been an in repitation to me, and when I return home I intend to send my son and my grandchildren here that they may get the same inspiration that I have He said it was a mistake to assume as had long been the case that work was done.

Our readers will find a strong defense of the race in the speech of the senior Senutor from Kansas, published elsewhere in this paper. Those of us familiar with the long and successful career of Senator Charles Curtis are not surprised at his attitude toward the race as evidenced in his great address delivered before the Senate of the United States. Always in sympathy with the humblest of his constituents, regardless of race; easy of approach, sympathetic and ready to hear the plea of the humblest; the spirit of helpfulness and uplift expressed in his address is but consistent with his entire career. A native of Kansas—Kansas of John Brown, the Kansas of liberty and freedom,—this speech ribgs true to the efforts of those men who made liberty possible for a suffering race. At this time when men powerful and influential, strong and aggressive, are denying to the Negro his rights under the constitution, it is inspiring to observe that the spirit of liberty is not dead, and that such men as our own Senator Curtis are standing in the fore-front in defence of the American Negro. It was the spirit of Kansas, the spirit of humanity, and the spirit of a man true and tried, that was made a living, potent thing in the address to which we refer The Negro citizens of this state will not forget this effort made in our behalf, and when opportunity affords itself they will give expression to their appreciation and gratitude to Senator Curtis.

SENATOR CARLES URTIS a True Son of Kansas and Tried Friend of Liberty, Justice and Humanity. lowe, to wit: "The time, places, and manner of holding elections for Senators and ellpresen- tatives shall be prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof, but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations, except as to the places of choosing Senators." If the Constitution should be so amended and the words "but the Congress may at any time by law make or alter such regulations" were stricken out, then Congress would be unable to enact any law or regulation for the protection of senatorial elections against fraud, violence, or corruption. Yet this power would continue in the House in regard to its members. I have heard of no good reason for the change. The proposition has not been considered by the people; it has not been brought to their attention by the press or in any other way. I do not believe the people would sanction it if the matter was submitted to them. The Senate and House should both retain their rights to alter the regulations in regard to the election of their own members and should always have the power to protect elections from violence and corruption. I read the following from Ex parte Seebold, One hundredth United States. 372: "The exercise of such power can properly cause no collision of regulations or jurisdiction, because the authority of Congress over the subject is paramount, and any regulations it may make necessarily supersedes inconsistent regulations of the State." This is involved in the power to "make or alter," and yet the junior Senator from Kansas says to take that power away from Congress is "not material." Justice Miller well said in the case of Ex parte Yarbough, One hundred and tenth United States, 657: "That a government whose essential character is republican, whose executive head and legislative body are both elective, whose most numerous and powerful branch of the legislature is elected by the people directly, has no power by appropriate laws to secure this election from the influence of violence, of corruption, and of fraud is a proposition so startling as to arrest attention and demand the gravest consideration. "If this Government is anything more than a mere aggregation of delegated agents of other States and Governments, each of which is superior to the General Government, it must have the power to protect the elections on which its existence depends from violence and corruption. "If it has not this power, it is left helpless before the two great natural and historical enemies of all republics—open violence and insidious corruption." "That sounds like the provision was very material." That opinion was written not for the purpose of influencing votes, but was a plain statement of powers the Government enjoyed, and which it should enjoy, and was written by an able and just judge. Mr. Curtis: Again, if I read the Record correctly, the Senator from Mississippi (Mr. Parey) considered the change very material, for he said. "In my judgment the extension of the power of the Federal Government as required by the Sutherland amendment is a price greater than the South is will ELECTION OF SENATORS BY DIRECT VOTE. Mr. Curtis: Mr. President, I ask that the unfinished business be laid before the Senate. The President pro tempore laid before the Senate the joint resolution (S. J. Res. 134) proposing an amendment to the Constitution providing that Senators shall be elected by the people of the several States. Mr. Curtis: Mr. President, I had not intended to take up any of the time of the Senate in a discussion of this question, but after reading the speech of my colleague (Mr. Bristow) I have concluded to ask for a few minutes of the time of the Senate. I real the following from the speech of the junior Senator from Kansas (Mr. Bristow): "While the phrasology of the resolution has been somewhat changed from the form in which I originally introduced it, I do not consider the changes as at all material." (Constitutional Record, Feb. 9, 1911, p. 2297.) 'This was the remark of the Senator upon a most important change; in fact, a change which provides for a further amending of the Constitution. I regret very much to see the Senator treat a constitutional amendment so lightly The Constitution is served to the people; millions of men have fought for it, thousands have died for it; its sections have been cemented by the last blood of the land and the tears of the noblest woman who ever lived. It has been amended, and changed conditions will make other amendments necessary, but changes in it should be made in the regular way—by instructions from the people, and only after careful consideration. The proposed change by the original joint resolution, to provide for the election of Senators by direct vote of the people, has been before the public for many years and is generally understood. The action taken upon the question by a large number of States is evidence that such change is desired. Personally, I have favored the passage of such legislation for many years, and I am now in favor of the proposition. While a member of the House I was a member of the committee which reported such a resolution, I supported it with gratification in the committee and assisted in securing favorable intervention of it by the House. For some reason, at this time, a majority of the committee have reported the resolution to the Senate with an amendment which may well be termed a "rider" or "joker", and which should, in my judgment, be defeated, for it has not been considered by the people, and if agreed to, it might be used by the States that so desire as recognizing their right to disfranchise the colored voters. I can not support such a proposition. The change makes paragraph 1, section 4, Article 1, read as follows: "The time, places, and manner of holding elections for Senators shall be as prescribed in each State by the legislature thereof." This amendment, if agreed to, would change paragraph 1, section 4, Article 1 of the Constitution, which reads as fol ing to pay for the election of Senators by the direct vote of the people. I have no hesitancy in saying that it is a price greater than it should pay." The Senator from Mississippi must have thought the change very material, or he would not have spoken so strongly. Yet the Senator from Kansas says "he does not consider the changes at all material." In this connection I wish to call the attention of the Senate to what was said upon this subject by a man loved by all the people, our fearless ex-President, Theodore Roosevelt, who at Grand Rapids, Mich., in a speech before the Lincoln Club, at the nineteenth annual Lincoln day banquet, said: "I ask that we trust the people to elect Senators just exactly as we trust them to elect Presidents and Congressmen. "That is trace work. Now for brittin' work. "Don't couple that proposition which is to go forward with another proposition which is to go backward, and that is just what has been done with the amendment in its present form in the Senate. The proposal is to take away from the National Government some of its power in dealing with the election of United States Senators. That is all wrong. That is a step backward and not a step forward." The change proposed by the majority of the committee would tend to weaken the effective operation of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments and might enable a State so disposed by indirection to disfranchise the colored voters, which should not be permitted, and would take from Congress the power which Justice Miller said it should always have. The colored people are entitled to protection in their rights, and Congress should not directly or indirectly say it was willing to let the States take away the right which came to them as a result of the Civil War. After that war was over, and it was the greatest war the world has ever known, in order to meet new conditions the Constitution was amended, and the fifteenth amendment declares that: "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." This amendment was made to protect the former slaves who had been freed, and yet we find State after State, by "gran father" and other clauses, depriving them of their rights. Of course, there is no word in the acts referring to "rice, color, or previous condition of servitude." Yet every one knows that when a state undertakes to keep a citizen thereof from voting unless his grandfather was a voter, the object is to deprive the colored man from his right of franchise. In the joint resolution as amended is passed, and the Constitution is amended as provided therein, then the Congress gives up all its rights to make or alter the regulations of a State for the election of United States Senators, and if electors are disfranchised, if outrages are perp trated, if fraud is committed, or if corrupt practices are resorted to, the Court remains helpless. Surely the junior Senator from Kansas (Mr. rbistow) did not imagine that the joint resolution he introduced would be so changed. I shall vote for the amendment offered by the Senator from Utah (Mr. Sutherland), which, if agreed to, will strike out the objectionable features added to the original joint resolution and will permit a vote to be taken upon the joint resolution in the form in which it has been considered by the people. The Sutherland amendment takes nothing from the State, but it continues the power of Congress to make or alter the regulations. I strongly favor the joint resolution to provide for the election of Senators by a direct vote of the people, but I do not think it should be burdened with the objectionable and unfair provisions placed in it by a majority of the committee, and as one of the Senators from the State of Kansas, the chill of freedom, the home of old John Brown, the advance agent of liberty, who give his life to hasten the conflict which resulted in freeing the slaves, I can not support the "rider" or "joker" placed in the joint resolution by a majority of the committee.
