Indeed, Kansas and Kansans Feel Highly Honored, Miss Eav Marshall Shontz Has Paid us a Visit State House VOLUME XVIII. Indeed, Kai THEY HONOR OLD JO THEY HONOR OLD JOHN BROWN The Negroes of Kansas Pay Homage to the Hero of Harper's Ferry---Miss Eva Marshall Shontz Journeys all the Way from New York to Unveil Monument and Delivers a Speech That Will Never Fade from the Memory'of Her Hearers. Charlestown, Jefferson Co., Va. 29th Nov., 1859. Mrs. George L. Stevens. Boston, Mass. Mrs. F. F. Smith. No letter I have received since my imprisonment here, has given me more satisfaction or comfort, than yours of the 8th inch. I am quite cheerful and was never more happy. Have only time write you a word. May God forever reward you and all yours. My love to all who love their neighbors. I have asked to be spared from having much, or hypocritical prayers made over me, when I am publicly mourned, and that my only religious attendants be poor little, shiny, rugged, barbed, and I have not, slave boys and girls, but some old gray haired I gave mother. Ewell, Pitwell. Your friend. John Brown Wait, the list is: John Brown Wait, the list is: John Brown Wait, the list is: John Brown Wait, the list is: John Brown Though Bishop Grant be dead, his spirit was hovered around Western University last week at the closing exercises, which was the greatest event in the history of the institution—the unveiling of John Brown's monument. Over three thousand souls of both races witnessed the ceremony and gave strict attention to the most eloquent speeches ever delivered on the grounds of Western University. The applause was tremendous and enthusiastic from start to finish and everybody learned something. They felt the spirit of Old John Brown and the late Bishop Grant, originator of the movement to erect the monument. At the conclusion, both white and black were drunk with enthusiasm and clasped each other by the hand and said, "let's dwell in love and union." No one said more to bring about such a feeling than Mies Eva Marshall Shoots who journeyed all the way from New York in her brother's private palace coach accompanied by her aged mother to unveil this monument and give expression of her feelings for the uplift of humanity. President Kealing struck the key. THE STATUE OF THE MASTER THE JOHN BROWN MONUMENT TOPEKA PLAINDEALER note when he extended an invitation to Miss Shonz for she is undoubtedly one of the most eloquent, cultured, refined and queenly ladies that in the whole world. Miss Shontz is one who can be called angelic for she knows nothing out righteousness. If one tenth of the white people of America would act and live the tenth the life she is leading we would all be much happier. Her millions does not turn her head or cause her to scoff poor of any race. After her speech and the unveiling of the monument, the people stronged about her automobile, where she and her good old Christian mother shook their hands and assured them that they need not fear anything from them, that they had the utmost respect and kind feeling for the race. The beginning of her speech was the olimax, when she said, "My dear brothers and sisters." She said it with all earnestness and sincerity and her hearers could plainly see that it was from the heart. They saw the difference between the tricky politician and an honest, good sincere woman who is seeking to do good for all without price or favor. In fact Miss Shon' is the kind of white people the colored race revere (rich white folks) The exercise began promptly at 100. After a few selections by the band and the choral club under the direction of Prof. Jackson, President Kealing came forward and opened the exercises, introducing Bishop Parke as master of ceremonies. The Bishop presented the monument to the Board Trustees assuring them that it was a pleasure on behalf of the Fifth Episcopal district of the African Methodist church and the colored people of the West to present such an emblem as a statute of John Brown to the keeping of the Trustees of this great school, and he hoped that it would be the guiding star of the many young men and women who go out into the world from this school to seek fame and fortune. President Kealing in a few well chosen words and chaste language said on behalf of the Board of Trustees: "We accept this marble of alligy which will go down in history, noting this day to be one of long remembrance. We know it will inspire the youth to higher ideals and fire them with a disposition to accomplish greater things." Mr. A. W. Stubbs, nephew of the Governor said the chief TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, JUNE 16, 1911 Mary Ann MISS EVA MARSHALL SHONTZ AND MOTHER executive was indisposed, but that his good wife was present. Mrs. Stubbs was introduced to the audience who gave her the chats in salute. The applause was tremendous. The speaker said Mrs. Stubbs had enlisted in the cause of woman suffrage and temperance and was in the field to help make the world better. Miss Shoner paid Mrs. Stubbe a high compliment. Said she loved her for her devotion that she liked a mother who trained her children to work, and instead of card parties Mrs. Stubbe had her daughters reading good books and doing good work for the service of God. This remark brought the house down for this crowd represented all that is good. Comrade Haworth, of Kansas City, Kas, 84 years of age and delegate to the convention that nominated Lincoln in 1860 said that he was too feeble to talk, but the colored people were his friends, and that he owned the mementos which were presented by the Rev O. E Jones, pastor of Saint John African Methodist church, Kansas City, Kas, who said it was a pleasure as well as an honor to present the gavel and coin made from a rail split by Abraham Lincoln and used to govern a body of MISS EVA MARSHALL patriotic men who had the courage to nominate a man who proved to be the saviour of America. Dr. John Jones, ex president of Wilberforce University, the noted Ohio school, set the Kansas praries afire for about forty-five minutes. The eloquent devine had the people well in hand when he said, "I came all the way from Ohio to witness the unveiling of the monument erected to memory of Old John Brown, who like the Saviour who died on the cross to make man holy so did John Brown die on the gallows at Harper's Ferry that you and I and the white man as well should be free." He warned his hearers that the colored man was being misjudged that like Sampson of old he only needed to locate his strength and when he does he will arise in all his might and destroy the American temple of prejudice which would tople down and destroy race prejudice and hatred and sink its followers into everlasting objection. He said further, "There was a man named John sent from God to deliver this race from oppression and his spirit is still marching on until the race is redeemed. Ex Governor John P. Saint John, who when governor of Kansas fathered the exodus which brought thousands of colored people to the state, said that he was no latter day convert on the race question, that he was arrested back in Indiana for feeding a runaway slave boy and and took before a copper-head judge, who discharged him by saying the proof was insufficient. He said, "Judge, I did feed that poor star. ing boy and would feed a dog if one came to my door hungry," but the judge insisted that I was re. --- leased. The people were with me. "I love Old John Brown," and the speaker, "he died for a righteous cause and set the good, Christian people of this nation nation to talking and they soon found that the John Brown spirit was the factor in bringing about freedom. Miss Eva Marshall Shontz was introduced as speaker of the day. Garbed in a plain, simple white dress, she came forward carrying a beautiful. She began by saying, "My dear brothers and sisters," Miss Shontz began again, as she waved the flag and the cheering subside. "This flag has always been the hope of universal peace. The greatest victories have been won since this flag was born and one of the greatest of these many victories I consider is the victory John Brown fore saw for the Negro when he fired on Harper's lerry. "Stateman, martyr, patriot, savior of the Negro," thus Miss Shontz enologized John Brown. "They call him a murderer, a thief and say he was a traitor. But people are beginning to realize that he was one of the greatest men of the Nineteenth Century. He began the movement for Negro freedom and that work alone placed him in the hall of fame as a great man." Warming up to her subject, she SHONTZ AND MOTHER said, "This airg has brought peace to millions in Cuba, Mexico America and other countries." She portrayed the great battles fought from the inspiration of the flag and said she wanted to elicit all under the flag to drive out that great evil, the liquor traffic, a work in which she is interested heart and soul. The monument is lourted on the on the highest point of the university grounds in front of the girls' dormitory and can be seen for several blocks around. Much credit is due M. H. Rice and assistant, A.F. Blauw, who who was on the grounds during the exercises. He is a signified gentleman who took great pains in assisting President Kealing in arranging the unveiling. Mr. Rice is to be complimented upon having such a competent gentleman in his employ. Mr. Rice is one of the largest monument and insolum buildings in the West, located at 1229 Main street, Kansas City, Mo., and his specimens are the finest we ever witnessed. HISTORY. from your age, Bishop Abraham Grant conceived the idea that the race for whom John Brown of Oswatonna died should give visual and ongoing expression of the gratitude that wells higher in the hearts of each succeeding generation. With characteristic promptness he at once made public announcement of his purpose and opened a public subscription for the raising of the necessary funds. The response was immediate and enthusiastic; money flowed in from every section of the country, mostly in small locations, but in a continuous stream, until the amount needed was in sight. As Bishop Grant saw this lively evidence of love among the common people for the matter to then liberty, he was --- 元 THE LATE BISHOP GRANT, Originator of the Movement to to Erect the Monument I shout, " slamming it is the easiest money I have tried to raise." On March 24, 1910, the contract for the design and the statute was given to the firm of M. H. Roe, 1229 31 Main Street, Kansas City, Missouri, who set to work, producing a design representing John Brown taking a Negro child in his arms and kissing it on his way to the scaffold, according to the firm as pointing so Thomas Hovenden. For several years, however, it was held to simplify the presentation to the statute as it now stands in a mirroring dignity and moral power. The execution of Mr. Rice's design was committed to Chignolle, a noted sculptor in Carrut, Italy, to be wrought out in purest Carrut marble. How nobly he acted his subject and made the stone speak, all who look upon the monument can say. Under the terms of the contract, Mr. Rice as to have the monument erected on the campus of Western University not later than June 1, 1911; but he was even better than his promise, for the statue was shipped from Italy in April, 1911, arriving in New York, May 1, and reaching Kansas City, May 15. The grunt foundation arrived May 19, and the whole was immediately placed in position on the spot selected, for the invading June 8. It was the longing wish of Bishop Grant, when he knew he was stricken unto death, that the statue might arrive before he departed, and his friends had arranged to have it hauled from the cars to his window that he might look out upon the last great achievement of his great heart and mind, but he had an appointment with God and I could not wait. Who doubts that he looks down on the John Brown Monument today from above. 4. Lets About the John Brown Monument. Made in Gurine, Italy, by Chignolle. Commission taken and executed by M. P.

COMMENCEMENT AT QUINDARO There were many happy souls at the fifteenth annual commencement of Western University during the past week. The exercises took place in the morning under a mammoth tent where several hundred people witnessed the exercises. There were several beautiful college girls dressed in white looking and stepping with the grace and dignity of so many queens.

Schuller Bros. promise on the other hand to keep their cut prices in force all summer. Schiller Bros. give handsome and valuable premiums to customers free of all charge.

THE AT WASHINGTON. The sub committee of the Judiciary of the senator; Senators Root, Sutherland and Bacon have reached the conclusion that there is work enough for William H. Lewis to perform as assistant attorney general and recommend his confirmation. It is understood however that a number of southern fire-cat ing senators will vigorously oppose the nomination on the door of the senate. It is in the opinion of senator Joseph W. Bailey of Texas, that "the only way for the two races to live in recognition of of their inferiority." This opinion was in the course of a speech delivered by the Trau to the Confederate Veteran who had assembled Monday night to honor the memory of J. Merson Davis, president of the Confederacy. The sentiment was received with great applause by the Southern present. The colored people of Washington are somewhat stirred up over the statement made here recently by senator Bailey of Texas, that the south was right in seceding from the Union when the ideas and beliefs of the south were not in accord with the ideas and beliefs of the Union. Such was the tone of the speech that it "got on" the nerves senator Clapp of Minnesota, and that gentleman took a sideswipe at his collabor. If Bailey's talk is not as much treason as that of Jeff Davis or any other rebel then there is no reason If the South was right, then the North was wrong, all the damage done by its army should be paid for by the government. The Heifin case narrowly missed being re enacted here again recently when Congressman Rodenbeery of Texas, attacked a colored man who took a seat beside him in a street car. The peculiar part of this affair is that many of members of Congress, both Republicans and Democrats, lionfired this act as one of heroism, and congratulations poured in upon this little beast from George as though he had conquered an army and did David when he slew Goloth. The fact is, while Congressman Ollie James of Kentucky, a two hundred pound lightweight, and others, with the street car conductor and motorman thrown up, held the colored man this little shltimp got in this work. When men who are sent here as law-makers turn to be law-breakers, it is time to call a halt in the attempt to harmonize the world in one great peace pact, especially with the United States in the foreground. Hon. William T. Vernon, ex-register of the United States treasury, is again the recipient of a favor from the Government, having received an appointment as supervisor of the schools for the five civilized tribes in Oklahoma, and the headquarters will at Muskogee. The position comes under the Interior Department. Mrs. Clara Roundtree, a teacher in the public schools for Topeka, Kansas, has arrived in the city and will spend the summer with her husband, Mr. John Roundtree, who is a clerk in the Bureau of the Census. President Taft told a delegation of negroes, representing the National Association for the advancement of colored people, that he would denounce lynching in his regular message to Congress. He said that the committee did right in calling his attention to the matter and in this way bringing it to the attention of the country. Before he was elected president, Mr Taft denounced the mob. In one of his speeches are found these words: "A mob develops the most friendliness cruelty, manifesting itself in the blindest and most unreasonable assaults upon perfectly innocent people simply because of their colored. It is impossible to read accounts of this sort without having one's blood boil with indignation that there can reside in the human breast such a savage and beastly impulse." Hon. J. C. Napier, register of the treasury, entertained at lunch Monday, Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Age. The other guests were Hona. W H. Lewis, assistant attorney general; Ralph W Tyler, auditor for the navy department; Cyrus Field Adams, assistant register of the treasury and James A. Cobb, assistant district attorney Hon William Tecumseh Vernon ex-register of the treasury, has returned from Kansas City, Kansas, where he has been for several weeks at the bedside of his father who has been serious ill, but is now recovering. Mr. Vernon still leads in the race for appointment as Minister to Haitt, but there are a number class at his beels. That Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederacy, was superior to Abraham Lincoln in every respect, and that had the positions of Lincoln and Davis, been reversed, Davis would "have crushed Lincoln in one week," was the assertion made Saturday night by Copt. S. M. de Leon, in a speech before the united Daughters of the Confederacy a exercises in honor of Davis' birthday in Confederate Veterans' Hall in this city. Amendments with real teeth in them are being prepared for the bill for the publicity of campaign expenditures, and if they are adopted by the Senate, as is predicted, the Republican body will go the Democratic House one better in that legislation. Justice John M. Harlan, sebior associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United State, celebrated his seventy eighth birthday a few days ago. He was overwhelmed with message and notes and letters of congratulation. "Retire?" said the justice in reply to a question. "Why I'm not an old man. I'm 73, but I don't feel more than half that number of years. The Supreme Court has made many decisions adverse to the Afo.American people, but Justice Harlan has invariably dissented. Harriet Tubman, who ran away from slavery before the civil war and became the most noted "conductor on the underground railroad, leading over 3,000 slaves to freedom, has been taken sick and penniless to the Harriet Tubman Home. She gave her all to establish a home for aged colored men and women at Auburn, N. Y., of which she is now an inmate. She was the friend of Frederick Douglas, William Lloyd Harrison, Wendell Phillips, John Brown, William II Seward and Abraham Lincoln. It is very likely that President Tatt will commute the sentence of Mattie E. Lomaz, xxx a colored woman, who is to be hanged here July 11, for the murder of her husband. There is a general sentiment against the hanging of a woman at the National Capital. JUNCTION CITY. Mrs. Aldredge and Mrs. Ike Perkins and M. D. Jones spent Saturday at Skiddy fishing. Mrs. Sirah Haitmon, of Madison Baray, N. Y., left Sunday for her home after two weeks visit with her mother, Mrs. Clara Williams. Rev.

Mrs. M D Jones, who has been with us for three years, left this week for home in Topeka, where she will reamin a few days, then she will spend the summer in Denver, Colo. Mrs. Jones has been very useful in our church and S. S. work and we regret very much to see her leave. She gave a reception Friday afternoon as the resident of Mrs. Ike Perkins W. 3rd Street for her S. S. class after ice cream and cake was passed each member and visitor expressed their regret to see her leave those present were: Harthalonia Hurley, Vernon Asbury, Bertha Griffin, Charlottee Rainbow, Ruth Williams, Carabell Hardon, Helen Jones, Thalama Couch, Elvie Hurley, Hortence Hurley, Lottie Brown, Dorothy Richardson, Roumania Williams, Lottie Mason, Louis Small, Beatrice Rainbow, Elletta Blantire, Amercia Hurley, Henry Small, Francis Johnson, Columbus Small, and Omanud Hurley.

Live Stock TREATMENT OF BOG SPAVIN Trouble May Be Corrected by Appl ation of Cold Water and Lo- A round, smooth tumor at the front and on the inside of the hock. It is the result of sprains, bruises or other injuries. When these injuries occur too much joint oil is secreted, causing a bulging of the ligament. Lameness seldom accompanies a bog spavin. If lameness be present other structures are certain to be affected, and some pain and heat will be noticed, together with a stiffness of the joint. Treatment consists of applications of cold water to the affected parts and a lotion made of two tablespoonfuls acetate of lead in a quart of water. A blister made of one teaspoonful biolodide of mercury and four tablespoonfuls lard, rubbed in a little with the fingers, and repeated 0 Bog Spavin. In ten days or two weeks and continued for some months, will correct the trouble. Wash the parts having received the blister twenty four hours after application. It is also advisable to tie the horse a head while the blister is on, so that he cannot bite the part. FLESH FLIES BOTHER SHEEP Flock Should Be Watched Closely, Especially In Warm, Damp Weather, to Keep Pesta Away. When the sheep's wool becomes filthy and the skin irritated an ideal condition is made for the work of the maggot fly. And when the maggots get a start they create a more and more friendly harbor for their kind as they work and increase in numbers under the wool, says the Sheep Breeder. A sheep infected with maggots is a most pitiful sight, helpless against the parasites eating out its flesh until sheep dies, its life gnawed out in a most cruel manner. For the sake of humanity, if for no other reason, sheep should be saved from such suffering. These files can do no damage if not given a suitable place to lay their eggs. Sheep should be watched carefully, especially in warm, damp weather, and dirty tag locks or other fifth clipped off and a little tar dabbed on if the skin is chafed. These maggots also get in their work under ram's horns. Indeed a ram with heavy horns lying close to his head will hardly pass through a summer without infection unless the flies are kept away by putting some tar on the ram's head. An infected sheep can be told by the fact that it refuses to eat, stands with its head down and most often by itself, and stamps its feet or jerks its head exactly as irritation by maggots would lead one to expect. The remedy is simple. Cut away the wool close. Clean out all maggots, using turpentine to wash them out. Smear the place thoroughly with tar. Then keep watch of the sheep to see that the flies do not again start in the same place. Thoroughness in cleaning out the parasites is essential, for one leaf in will start the damage all over The Ideal Horse Stable A well known stockman says: The meal stable should have the horse facing north to obtain an even temperature, it should not be too large so that you keep the animal heat under control, and not have stable temperature either materially raised or lowered when half a dozen animals are either taken out or brought in. The ventilation should be perfect and as strong as possible up to the iniquitous draught point. Let the ceiling be as high as convenient, and if the wise builder has left an inch or so open around the upper edge, where the stablemen cannot stop it up all the better. Apples for Colts. Apples given in small quantities make an excellent feed for colts. There is no better way of getting on good terms with the youngsters than by quatering sweet apples and feeding to them from the hand.

VERNON AND HATI Former Register of the Treasury W. T. Vernon has just returned to the city from Kansas, his home State, where he was called by the serious illness of his father. Mr. Vernon was interviewed concerning an alleged dispatch published in the New York Age, charging that in the event of appointment as Minister to Haiti, he would work for the annexation of that island with the hope of becoming its governor-general "As far as the independence of Haiti is concerned," said Mr. Veillon, "I am now as I have always been, in favor of the same. The glorious carrer and struggle for independence of that Republic is to me, as it is to all right thinking Negroes, a source of inspiration and pride and will forever be. "So far as I know, Mr. Iurens is making a splendid and acceptable Minister and I do not know that any changed is contemplated. "However I appreciate the many favorable expressions from the press and my friends throughout the country who have manifested such a kindly interest in me in connection with that high and honorable position." "Any American Negro honored by such appointment should do everything consistent with his position for the continued liberty and ever-increasing prosperity of that Republic." "As to the alleged dispatch which purported to come from Quindaro, Kansas, I have only this to say: A most thorough investigation in Quindaro fails to disclose anyone who knows anything whatever of the alleged dispatch." "I regret that The Aage should use its columns for the circulation of such ill-founded reports." GUTHRIE, OKLA Mrs. Mable Carr Martin, of Tulsa, is in the city visiting Miss S. V. Floyd on E.

CAPPER FOR GOVERNOR State's Leading Newspaper Man the Only Moses to Restore Harmony and Lead the Republican Party to Victory. Mr. Arthur Capper has announced himself as a bonafide candidate for the Republican nomination for governor in 1912 Mr. Capper is a young man who worked his way up from the bottom. He is a professional printer and has probably finished every place in the newspaper world from office devil to editor and owner of the leading daily paper of Kansas. His Farmers' Mail Breeze, one of his several weekly publications has over one hundred thousand circulation Mr Capper is one of Topeka's most progressive and active citizens, employing hundreds of men and women in his large publishing establishment at Eighth and Jackson streets. This was the first modern steele structure erected in Topeka and cost over three hundred thousand dollars. Mr Capper is in sympathy with those who struggle from morning till night for a livel Mr. Arthur Capper, Harmon J. Mr. Arthur Capper, Harmony Candidate for Governor hood having himself worked hard all of his life. Having been born and retired in Kansas, he must be imbued with some of Old John Brown's ideas Mr. Capper will practically have no opposition at the polls as both elements of the party have practically agreed that he is the one man to bring about harmony within the ranks of the party and at the same time do much to promote the growth and prosperity of Kansas and her people. He and his worthy papers have assisted in making Kansas history and caused the barren plains to be peopled and blossom as the rose. His platform is written in the Kansas language, and struck the keynote when he said: I am a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor and I ask the support of the Republicans of Kansas at the primary election in 1912. I have been interested in progressive Republicanism; not as a game of political advantage; not for the purpose of furthering the interests of any faction nor to advance the fortunes of individuals; but as a means of working out sound policies of governments of correcting the abuses that have arisen, and of promoting the rights and the properti ity of all the people. I believe in party organization. I believe in political leadership, but I am now and always have been opposed to political combatants whose power is intended to be used for the benefit of corporate interests and not for the benefit of the people generally. I lightened and alternated public opinion, working closely through the Republican party, has wrought enormous changes in political alliances in recent years. The people are taking the public business more directly into their own hands. Our election machinery has been changed as to make it more easily a tool vehicle for the oft-twisted expression of the public will. It is a constructive use in politics, the law is being turned our civil liberties in many directions that have been taken the methods which are against the public good and degrading to the public morals so being controlled; the business organization is being equipped; and the efforts of the state administered more efficiently and more honestly than ever before. I have truth that Kansas will soon be lead in the study and the solution to the great sound issue in terms up in which all future programs will be in harmony sympathetic with the Republican program of political progress as it now exists in this state and in the nation, and I have my Candidate for Governor 1. *bel* to be a position to another 2. *leg* the next movement. As a Republican candidate for Governor, I deeply interst in Republican success in the best means of furthering the policies in which I believe, I shall stand proudly for masonry which I regard as vitally necessary to clean,整洁, progressive, popular government. I believe in the strict accountability of the executive to all the people and in I am clear government I shall be under obligations solely to the people to give the people a business administration, with the same strict attention to economical expenditure of the public money I employ in my own business. I believe that every man who draws a dollar from the state treasury should tender full service in return. I shall stand in the lowest taxes consistent with efficient public service in a growing state; for aggressive war upon all terms of militancy, graff and political corruption whether found within my own party or outside of it, for nonpartition in administration of the state's schools, colleges, charitable and penal institutions, for the strict regulation of all public utilities; for fair and equitable transportation rates; for the encouragement of every effort intended to keep corporations within safe and honest bounds; for election laws making the will of the individual voter effective on state and national questions; for a more practical system of good roads for the farmer; and for all hopeful, progressive, constructive legislation. I believe in property rights, but I believe, still more in human rights. I shall do all in my power to promote decency, sobriety and morality. I promise to enforce all laws now on the statute books. I am in cordial sympathy with the purpose of the provision of the State Constitution prohibiting the traffic in intolerable liquor, and I shall work for its strict enforcement in every portion of the state. I shall stand for everything that will contribute to the state matters and moral well being and advancement. If Government shall do my best to keep out the gratters; the hottest; the hang doors; the jerks; the most official, cloak and commissions; to whish the excessive salaries; the prices in legislative acts; and the extravagant appropriations; and shall endeavor to handle the business of the state with justice and economy and on the best basis of the greatest good to the greatest number. I am deeply interested in the development of our material resources. I have in the hands of yesterday and today and even more in the hands of tomorrow. We are only just beginning our work as a great commonwealth. We should let the people of the world know that this state, which has the cleanest and best government in America, much so under the rule of the Republican party, also offers tremendous industrial and agricultural possibilities and that wonderful opportunities await not only the thrifty, clean funded cities, no matter what is so in town, but the ambitious, enterprising independent manpower and business men who strive a more promising field. I was born in Kansas; I have lived here all my life; and every interest I have is contained in Kansas. Whatever mismeasure of success I have a moved in his home town as a citizen of Kansas. I have undeclared pledge in the state and animated confidence in its future. I have done what I could for a better and greater Kansas. My contributions are at the capital of the state for over twenty six years has given me unusual opportunity to become there oughtly familiar with every department at the state's business. I have been a Republican ever since. I could vote and am proud, the road made by my deputy in the state and in the nation. I have also obtained principles and certain kinds of public service and I have endeavored to live up to these ideals and these principles. I will make no basis I am campaign for this other. As a candidate I shall be before the people with nothing more than a plan, an intention and platform of the things I believe my business ow- nows to compete in to do, and my pleasures will be limited to those I think I can homestyle suit. It I become Governor I will take the office unanticipated by a single promise expressed or implied, save my public promises to the voters. I do not care to be elected Governor if to do so I must enter into any relations with any person; any political factions or any business interests which will make it impossible for me to save the public properly. It I occupy the executive chair I want to tell that I have been chosen and elected by the rank and file of the voters of this state, and that I owe no allegiance but to them. I want it understood that I am not running as the candidate of a faction. I solicit the support of all Republicans against them or their formal affiliations, and promise them that if elected, I shall be governed for all factions and for all factions and shall administer the factions without interruption with an prejudice toward any.

AND MUSKOGEE Hale's Leader Cowboy. No. 10 Flour NOTES FROM MEADOWBDOOK FARM By William Pitt Consult with your help. Nearly everyone can grow phlox. Good, clean runs are a delight to the hess. A good cow is seldom soid except at a high place. Are you troubled with crows about your chicken yards? Feed very little soft feed and you will raise more chicks. Clover can be grown more cheaply than timothy or fodder corn. Bran and meat meal help to supply the young sows with muscle and bone By putting a litt'l fine hay in the calf's mouth daily, she will soon learn to eat. Parsley is next to lettuce in winter marketing—both profitable—when well grown. One of the most important problems of the farmer is to feed his animals economically. Borrowing tools, and sending them home dull or rusty, doesn't make the other fellow grin. Colory seed should be sown in a shallow drill and covered with just a light sprinkling of fine earth. Don't cultivate the potatoes when out in bloom, or coming out, unless you want a lot of stunted little tubers. If there are signs of worms in your hogs, feed concentrated lye, one half teaspoonful to each animal well mixed in slop or soft feed. If sweet butter is to be made which will command the highest market price, cleanliness must begin in the stable where the milking is done. Go over the young apple trees and cut off every water sprout with a sharp knife close to the trunk. Do it early and they will heal this season. The proper time to set out fruit and deciduous trees is the latter part of October and the latter part of March or first part of April, in the spring. It is estimated that Colorado farmers last year received $7,500,000 for their sugar beet crop, an increase of $1,000,000 over the product of the previous year. In the opinion of many eastern feeders, best development of livestock cannot be had without the use of roots or silage to supply succulent feed during winter. String a stout wire overhead in the cow barn and hang the lantern to this while milking and feeding. It can be slid along from place to place and is safe handled this way. In setting one fruit tree, or many, the ground will be deeply flowed, thoroughly harrowed and the ross for trees run out with the two loosestw Run the plow twice in each row. A owe without milk makes a poor mother. Feed if necessary to get the milk flow, and you'll find the invest ment a good one. Roots of any kind alfalfa hay, or a small grain feed will work wonders. A stout wire netting fence fastened to stout posts set two and one half feet deep in the ground and eight feet apart makes the best hog fence; have board at bottom and one at top to keep the wire tight Might as well give the trees plenty of room at the start because if you don't they will have to be cut out later. Thirty feet apart is the right distance for apple trees, although 40 feet would not do any harm The future of the dairy business depends upon the quality of our products. It is a sad commentary on the dairy business, when we hear dealers and consumers argue that also is better than one-half of the butter, that finds its way to the market. When the mother's milk cannot be used for her calf, try to get the milk from a cow with a calf as old as the one you are feeding on the bottle, as the milk of a cow in the seventh or eighth month of her period of lactation is bad for a very young calf. A lousy pig is a sure sign of a poor farmer. The neglected colt or calf will prove profitless How are the farm implements? Any of them need repairs? Look suspiciously at eggs that have been laid in a stolen nest. The canna, like corn needs moisture and heat to develop properly. Don't let the weeds get a start—kill 'em while they are a birning. The horse is known by its years, but the mule is better known by its ears. When you hoe corn, thin it out to not more than three good stalks to the hill. The ewes must have plenty of palatable food both before and after the lambs come. A flock of 60 hens, or not more than 100, properly fed and cared for will pay handsomely. If the butter is packed in jars or oth or receptacles, they, too, must be sterilized as above stated. The ashes of the elm, oak and beach are the most valuable for applying to farm and garden crops. Cattle should not be pastured in the orchard, a stove pack the ground hard and bruise the young wood. After trees are planted, mulch with one foot of leaves or rotted straw; water if season should be hot and dry. The calf should be kept in the pen and not tled out on grass until the weather is warm and the ground is dry. Enormous ylelds of potatoes can be secured under irrigation, provided the moisture in the soil is uniform and continuous. Tobacco stems contain large quantities of potash and are worth eight to ten dollars per ton for topdressing grass and grain. You will get more fruit by spraying thoroughly and the quality will be such that you can sell more of it as first class fruit. Good orchardists say that an orchard neglected for one year without spraying or pruning and cultivation, puts it back fully three years Five dollars invested in package material will pay many times the investment in the better prices the fruit will bring when properly packed Plan to raise a fine flock of general purpose standard bred birds this season. They will yield much more satisfaction and profit than a mixed flock. Western alfalfa is ground into very fine meal form and after being mixed with molasses is sold to western dairy men and poultry raisers for from $20 a ton up. If there is no other chance to get sunlight into the cow barn it might not be much of a chore to cut a few openings in the south or west side and put in some windows. To feed 50 laying hens one month will require 200 pounds of oats and cracked corn or 300 pounds of wheat screenings, in addition to the rye and grass pasture and ground meat and bone. Two perennials which are comparatively new and most beautiful and anti factory are the Burbank daisy and the lovely cherry-red, hardy carnation tikki. You make no mistake in ordering them. The leguminous crops grown on the farm are the clovers—red, mammoth, white and alpike—nalfalfa, peas, beans and vetches. Much of the farmer's prosperity depends on the use he makes of these plants. Ten million dollars is a neat sum to pay each year for the ravages of one animal. Yet this is the figure given by the United States Department of Agriculture as the damage done by the pocket gophers A practical method of keeping animals, as dogs, pigs, chickens, and cats, from injuring the hotbed and its contents, is a section of wire fence cut to the size of the bed, with a detachable clasp on the four sides. The practical farmer by harvesting the clover in season and securing the hay in the best possible condition can secure an additional profit by feeding out the clover to stock and in saving their excrements without loss of fertility. It is a matter of common observation that seed sown on clay land that has been plowed in the spring will take a longer time to germinate. This is true in all cases, except where a shower falls shortly after the seed has been sown.

LIVE STOCK Every Farmer With Flock of Twenty-five Animals Should Possess One—Concrete Is Cheap A farmer owning 15 many new twenty-five sheep should have a good dipping kit. These may be made of wood, metal or concrete. For a smaller number of sheep then twenty-five, the barrel and so would the pigs will do if the farmer fields that he cannot afford to purchase or build a vet. A good gallnized sat ten feet long and four feet leap inside purposes for dipping can be purchased for about $12. That's smaller sizes than this that can be purchased for less money. Composite vats can be built at a normal cost three or four farmers can clink together and purchase one of the gallnized tanks and haul it to their respective farms it is waived. A dipping sat for sheep should be narrow enough to prevent the sheep turning around in it, and deep enough to swim large sheep. The length of the sat should depend upon the number of sheep a man keeps on his place, is the longer the wet the greater the number of sheep which can be dipped in a day. There is considerable variation as to the A Dipping Vat A Dipping Vat width of vats found on different farms and is a useful thing they are wider than necessary than too the most rower the vat the loss the dip required to fill it. A vat 20 inches wide at the top and 5 inches wide at the bottom is a tilt vat which regards width although some vats provide sheep men constrain 16 inches of vats of 6 inches of the bottom. The size of sheep kept on a farm must at course be taken into consideration The dipping wet illustrated is located in the driveway of the hog house, and can be used for the dipping of sheep and young pigs. It is built entirely of concrete, the walls of which are 6 inches in width with the exception of the partition be tween the vet and dry chamber, which has a thickness of 9 inches. The end of the vet into which the hogs and sheep are plunged is perpendicular while the opposite end is provided with an inline which is quite deeply crossed to that the animal can walk out. The floor around the end of the vet from which the sheep emerge is so graded that all drippings return to the vet. There are newer connections with this outfit, the valve of which is located in the dry chamber. The end of the newer pipe in the vet is provided with a grate and trap so as to catch bits of wool and droppings which would otherwise clog the pipe. --- MAKING A HOG-TIGHT FENCE Brick or Stone Sunk in Ground With Piece of Wire Attached Will Prove Effective. I have had no little amount of trouble fencing against hogs, for stretch the fence is tightly as I could, some old sow or pig would eventually press the wire up between the pasture and let the whole bunch out, says a writer in the Farm and Home 'A year ago I tried the following device for keeping my hogs from lifting the fence. Take a brick or small stone for a weight and a piece of No 9 wire long enough to fasten around the weight with three feet extending and sink the weight two and a half feet in the Hog Tight Fence. ground directly under the bottom wire and half way between the posts Tump the earth firmly over the weight and then bring the bottom wire of the fence down closely to the ground and fasten it to the wire that is on the weight This holds the fence down firmly to the ground and there is no dog that can raise it up Every year France spends $4,840,000 to encourage horse breeders to maintain the quality of their horses.

Mr. Hopkins is a good, logical talker and judging from the hearty applause greatly pleased his hearers. He did not address his remarks to colored people only but would do mankind good. He said that he was one the five judges in an oratorical contest in Iowa in which several colleges participated, and a colored boy was one of the contestants, and four of the judges decided in the colored boy's favor. Governor Hopkins said he asked the boy how he got through school and when he said he had worked his way, "it was then that I felt happy for having voted for one who worked his up the ladde through his own efforts."

Under the guidance of President Kealing, his speech before the last legislature went a long ways towards getting the one hundred and five thousand dollars to conduct the school and make additional improvements The farm will be well stocked with milch cows, good teams and a man put in charge who will be able to produce something from the soil and thus let the boys work out a portion of their expenses. A laundry, bath rooms, gymnasium and other improvements will be made during the year. President Kealing is a man of great ability, a fine educator, very diplomatic and strict with his students they all walk the chalk line. The late Bishop Grant recommmde him to the justice board and guaranteed. He would make good the board says. He has made good they are well pleased with him. He has added five more to the faculty this year. Kansas is proud of him and will do everything to keep him and the school in the foremost ranks. His able assistant Prof. French is doing good work. He has been connected with the school for a number of years and, having saved as president therefore gives strong support to the faculty. The man who keeps the machinery oiled and running smoothly at all times is the fiscal agent, Hon. W. W. Fisher. He is a diplomat, scholar, gentleman and business man. Every dollar goes through his hands and is properly accounted for to a penny.. It was through him that Congressman Charles Scott established a postoffice at the school and made Mr. Fisher phstmaster. He owns a fine two story residence at 2025 N. Sixth street, Kansas City, Kas., has a cultured wife and several bright children who are the prides of his heart. It was he who did much work during the last legislature to procure the one hundred and five thousand dollar appropriation for the school. He knows every member of both branches of the legislature as well as every state official and prominent white and colored man in Kansas. Mr. Fisher knows every national character and can give their history. He works hard to assist President Kealing in putting Western University in the front rank of the country's foremost institutions of learning. Geo K. Williams, secretary of the school is a fine young business man, capable and efficient and knows the work from a to z. Class Officers.

It is a pleasure to mention the work of Mrs. Stoll Window Wright, the Super THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S FIGHTING FOR EQUALITY Advisor of Music and Drawing in the Colo orel Schools of Guthrie, whose work by Palce Laundry The Laundry that gives the service—Calls and delivers anywhere in the cits. Phone 36 Claremore, Ok . students in her department was on exhibition during the week in the auditorium of the High School. This work showed what had been accomplished in each grade, and the gradual steps in the process of work from the expiration of portable lines and angles to the horizontal lines and original drawings in the compressions of the above points. Mrs Wright has been steadily exhibiting an ability which comes only to the best artist and which is required to the student only as soon as the compressions of the master. Mrs. Wright is a member of one of the oldest families in the city and has taught in the schools of the city during the past five years. Her promotion to the place she now holds is due to a recognition or mentions service. She has held the present position during the past two years and during that time she has given, as would be expected the most satisfactory service. Two years in the work it should be remembered, is only a start in the arrangement for an Art Department, but with proper encouragement the work of this department will be among the strongest features of the public schools of ontario. When a fair demonstration of the influence of music and art have been made and the people see the effects of its training influence upon the minds of the youth who is just mouling character, the advantages of higher education will appreciate the fact that those branches are just as essential to a refined mind as the higher branches of the colleges and universities. It is to be hoped that the work already begun by Mrs. Wright will not be hindered but that it will be kept up to the high standard she has initiated and that only the very best that obtainable will be used in that department. --- Professor G. P. Perry, principal of Lincoln school, Gothicle, Okla., has the distinction of being at the head of a school that has won by actual merit a standing as being one of the last in the country, regardless of color. Prof. Perry has carefully selected his force of assistance and his theory a working force that has made the Negro schools or include recognized as fully up to present day standards, and the public of the citizens of his community. The schools of Gothicle are among the oldest in the new state and have always held a reputation as being in charge of the best teachers to be held in the race, but Prof. Perry has gone a step further than any other of previous times in that he has won placed under a system which puts the grading of the pupils of the higher grades and the inspection of the county superintendent who examines them and grades them work according to the standards which regulate the white schools. Recently in examination was held on eighth grade pupils an JOHN H. HARRIS under the inspection of the county superintendent, Miss Bottle Capers, a pupil in the room of Miss Amora Patty, daughter of Prof. Prof. passed an examination which gave her a standing as the highest in the city and the second highest in the county, of other white or coloured. Prof. Patty came to truthie in the fall of 1905, from Carthage, Md., at which place he had taught dunring the 50 years preceding his call to truthie. He was principal of the colored school at Higginsville, Md., for sixteen years. After coming to truthie he acted as assistant principal for two years, before being promoted to the place as principal which he now holds. During his stay here Prof. Petty had made many friends among all classes of people who recognize his ability as a teacher and who feel that in him they have the man who will fill every demand for a school system that will be a credit to the community. The work of Prof. Petty is plain to be seen evidenced in the conflict and general department of the younger set of the city. No better behaved young people are to be found anywhere than upon the streets and in the homes of the Negro people of the city of Guthrie. With this condition existing, a better feeling seems to be growing between the races, which is a flatteringeward for educational methods well spent and carefully applied.
