Historical Society ' OPEKA PLAINDEALER Something Must be Done to Stop the Whole Slaughter of Black Americans Meet Mobs With Guns and These Outragos Will soon Cease. The brutality of the American white man toward the colored Americans is becoming unbearable. The barring and lynching of them has become a regular pastime sport for white ruthans, young and old. In centuries the bull fight of old Mexico where the matador on the bull was killed before the eyes of the crowd before its thirst for blood could be appeased. Baseball is the sport of the Americans and when that gross tame they look for some coerced man or woman accused of crime and invite the multitude to inflict either of the above punishments. It makes no difference how victorious or outrageous a crime may be committed by a white person, the law always takes its course. Is there no balm in Gilead for the colored American? Are there no honest, fearless white Americans who will take the initiative in checking these outrages? The president of these United States and the Congress are too busy trying to crush out business instead of trying to crush out crime, heathenism and race prejudice. We advise the colored people to send communications to the crowned heads of Europe, to the Mikado of Japan to intervene in the cause of right-couness and fair treatment of the American colored man by his white American brother. No civilized, progressive nation should stand and look at such outrages as are being perpetrated in the United States without saying or doing something. We think it is their bounden duty to act. Oh, where is the white Christian pulpit? Where are the millions of white devotees of these pulpits? Where are the prayers they talk so much about? The devil must be answering them. It is almost dangerous for a colored man to be suspicioned of any crime before some ignorant, white prejudiced animal is ready to hollow, "Ivvah or burn." No use to talk to the American white press—they kindle the fire and inflame the devil to go on and commit these offenses. If a few decent men could get control of the American press the condition of the colored race of America would be changed. Just think! A wounded man, strapped to a hospital bed and taken out; wood piled around the cot, then saturated with coal oil and gasoline and set on fire. Then the crowd shouted and made merry, while the poor fellow writhed in agony. Then what a shout was sent up to Heaven for approval. Where is the God of vengeance! We hope he will send some pettition to destroy not only those who take part in such offenses, but their children and their children's children. This was in Pennsylvania where love and truth are supposed to prevail. The victim in Oklahoma was an imbecile homeless and friendless, inoffensive and harmless. A crime was supposed to have been committed and this unfortunate boy was jerked up and charged with it. The hungry, race prejudiced hyenas wanted sport, so they burned him at the stake, and the white press says that they scattered his ashes to the four winds of the earth, where no trace of can be discovered. This is supposed to settle the matter. We hope Governor Cruce will spare no pauses in performing his duty, although it is an uphill job for any one man, even the great Johnah, to handle a crowd of Arkansas and Texas ruthers who unanimously were allowed to settle in Oklahoma. We have all colored people in a success of the country to be prepared to meet these ruthless; it is no telling when and where the hardy leader monster will rise. A few guns, a little powder and some lead and a long way toward checking the leader of one of these lowly mobs. The officers of the law have laid down to them and make no effort to check them. Let the president and congress call the attention of the governor of each state to these outrages. NO DISCRIMINATION Secretary Cook Says Blacks are White in the Eyes of the State Fair. The impression has gotten out among a few colored people that the Kansas State Fair management is discriminating against the race in the sale of privileges on the grounds. When asked about the matter Secretary H. L. Cook said: "That is a wrong impression. The policy with a association is to protect as far as possible the concessionsaries who pay their good money to operate privileges on the fair grounds. It was thought we had more than enough general stands, which includes all classes of refreshment, lunch and dining hall privileges to accommodate all the people that could possibly get on the grounds, and in order that those who had bought space might be enabled to make some money out of their privileges we limited the number of class of concessions. There are more lots sold to the colored people in proportion to the population of colored folks in Topeka than have been sold to the whites. There is no discrimination. We are building a fair for all the people of Kansas, and want to play fair with everybody. But it would be an injustice to fill up our grounds with lunch stands to the extent that none would make a profit on their ventures. We had some misgivings at first that there would be a lack of facilities to supply those taking their meals on the grounds and advertised that a big dining hall or tent would be welcomed. The church organizations responded, and we will have simple facilities for taking care of any crowds that we might have. Scores of smaller refreshment concessions have been sold, among them several to colored people to furnish the "meats" to the hungry wayfarer, and a large number of colored people have been employed by the fair management, so the rumored discrimination does not seem to have much foundation."

SHEPHERD of St. Louis, Editor of a Church Organ THE American problem is the identical world problem. Thirty years ago there was one divorce to every seventy marriages in this country. That was bad enough; that was sultiently alarming. Yet last year there was one divorce to every ten and two thirds marriages. That is APPALLING. Some of us grow historical at the mention of "rotten" politics. American politics is rotten, but only because business behind it is rotten. IT IS CORRUPT BUSINESS MEN WHO BRIBE COUNCILMEN, MAKE AMERICAN POLITICS CORRUPT AND MAKE AMERICA THE LAUGHINGSTOCK OF THE WHOLE WORLD EDUCATION, RELIGIOUS EDUCATION, IS THE ONLY THING PROMISING TO END THE CORRUPTION. If we solve the American problem we must solve the problem of the education of the American man and woman. We must begin where God begun-at the BEGLNNING. We must begin with youth. COPPERVILLE NOTES.

To Encourage Betterment, Educate and Amuse. WHAT VISITOR MAY LEARN. New Ideas Acquired From Hearing Exports Talk and Seeing the Newest Developments in Farming, Live Stock Raising and Domestic Science Points For Exhibitors. To look upon a fair as a place of amusement only is a mistaken idea. It is a great educator. The Institution the scholar gets in the school or college is no more valuable than the incubation of the ideas of advancement and betterment presented by the collective exhibits of the best in every line at a fair. There is an incentive to go to the fair with the best possible product of the farm, the best grain, live stock, fruit, etc. The best poultry and swine and sheep are prepared for exhibit with the best that they are certain of winning a piece of the premium money, and just as certainly they are the stepping stones to greater endeavors whether they win or lose. The visitor to the fair is interested. It he be inclined toward the breeding of live stock or the variation of general farming he is gaining valuable lessons as he sits about the judging ring and hears what experts tell of the points of a prize animal or the technical points that more highest in the judging of corn. If he be a breeder or a farmer the more valuable the lesson to him. He will go home well repaid for his visit to the big state fair or the county fair. He cannot fail to hear something that will redound to his advantage. He may not have learned it from some of the experts who do the judging. It may just as likely come from some modest but successful perimeter who his dug out the whys and where-founds in his own little experience. Therefore the fair, whether he be a country of state folk, is a great educator. It broadens the knowledge of all who attend and puts them in touch with what the go abilities of their state may be. The mil taken abo that a state or even a county or district fair can be made up without the co-operation of a large number of exhibitors should be dispelled by kinsaws and a little bit of study given the question. For instance, a woman going through the fine arts department books carefully over the fine work exhibited there, suddenly comes to the conclusion that she has a place of drawn work, a fancy quilt or something else of her handwork that beats anything she has seen there. It is too late then to enter it, but she wishes she had. Now, if all were of the disposition of this woman there would not be any exhibits in any of these departments. Those who have pride in their state, their city and their fair will take what they have to the fair. Though it may be mediocre as to merit, it often wins a premium for lack of something better. No one will desire to take articles or displays without any meritorious value to a fair, but where there is merit do not hide it, but bring it out. It may be an inconvenive for others to do something as good or better for the next fair. The main object of my fair is to gather for display the best that can be collected to put to the front for the inspection of visitors a diversified advertisement of what can be accomplished in the district, county or state by its people. The premium list of any faith is worth perish, and if the citizen is worth a place in the community or commonwealth he or she can find some way to occupie toward the success of that faith. The premium list of the Kansas State Law at topofoff offers many inducements to all classes of people to put their best foot forward, to put their shoulder to the wheel and push for the success of the faith. If they have mentions exhibits they are well repaid for their trouble in entering them for display. Don't think that there are so many waiting ones whose handwork is so much finer that you will stand for sale in competition. The judges will sit at the court. You may be the host with out your knowing it. The settlement of a village, I am an association sent out instructions to members for adults and it is our moral most ing. Many did not respond, others said they came to hear the fellows from the big towns who were better posted and better able to tell the others. The secretary posted that bunch at the meeting and told them that the best conducted imperial he had ever seen was in a very small town, while the worst botched burial was under the section of an undertaker in a large eastern city. That country undertakier could walk rings all around the big fellow, and in story of how he did his work would have been worth thousands of dollars to the man from whom he sat, so he must learn how to do things. It is with the most obscure village resident. Often they have worthy and meritorious articles of some kind or other that would create more interest at a fair than any on show there, but they make the mistake of believing that they stand no show alongside of their more enlightened city cousin.

One of the most simple and effective barbed wire stretchers may be made from an ordinary wood lever about three feet long. At about eight inches from one end a small iron plate is fastened to one edge of the lever, says the Orange Judd Farmer. This has a slot into which the wire just slips. A notch is also cut in the AVOID ALL CUT FINGERS. lever at that point. The method of using is clearly shown in illustration, and as the lever is drawn around the post the wire can be brought up tightly for stapling with slight effort. --- Always Have Plenty of Herbs. No garden can be considered complete that does not include a goodly variety of herbs, for nothing can quite fill their place in the household. The seeds of annual sorts should be sown early, but the perennial varieties (and many of the best are that) the seeds sown in mid-summer will produce strong plants that may be freely cut from the following year. Make the soil rich, mellow and fine before sowing the seed. When the seeding plants are large enough they may be transplanted to the border beds, or the fence row, where they can grow undisturbed year after year. The leaves should be cut when fully grown and before the plant blooms, choosing a clear dry day for the work. Spread in a cool shady room to dry, as drying in the sun or by the fire spills both color and flavor. THE DAIRYMAN WHO READS. The most successful dairyman at the present time is the one who redo and keeps abreast with the most modern methods of information by word of mouth is too slow, and any one following the ways of his ancestors in dairying will be distanced in the chase. The dairyman who reads gets out of the ruts; he uses better sires and as a result has cows that will make nearly double the butter; he also feeds more intelligently, and the sanitary conditions about his premises are better. If money is to be made in dairying we must cut loose from the old hackneyed ways—Farm and Stock. Cow-Oh, but I've a thirst! Wish I belonged to a syndicate instead of a farmer. Booster-Why so? Cow-'Cause they never forget to wait the stock-Judge. An Abalute Cinch. It is said that only about thirty days stand between the average city wage earner and starvation. Most farmers could "keep the wolf from the door" quite a bit longer than that. Dairy Doings. What do you do when you discover a leak in the milk pail? Stop it, of course. But do you ever think about stopping the leak caused by poor cows? The latter leak is the bigger of the two. A cow so milked that she does not enjoy the operation will gradually retire from the business of giving milk. Do not milk her in a cold wind, or a hot stable, nor where she torture her, nor in a muddy barn yard. A cow will do much better if always cared for and milked by the same person. Cows do not like strangers, so when your visiting friend offers to help milk say "No," or not quite so much milk as usual will be the result. Midsummer often brings much suffering to stock because the water supply falls or becomes low. Animals should be taken to provide an ample supply of pure water, not only because it is humane so to do, but for the more salty reason that the animals will thrive and produce much better. Buttermilk cheese is a new product obtained by curling buttermilk with heat, draining the curd and adding salt. Large amounts of buttermilk are wasted every year. Save Professor J. L.

If this were made into buttermilk cheese it would furnish a larger supply of palatable food, equal in food value, pound for pound to lean beef steak, and which can be sold profitably at all the price of meat. To make this cheese the buttermilk is curled by heating to 80 degrees and left undisturbed for an hour. It is then heated to 150 degrees, and after standing quiet for about an hour the clear whey is drawn off the curd, and the latter is piled on a draining rack, which is covered with cheese cloth. Here it remains half a day or overnight, until as dry as desired, when it is salted with one and one-half pounds of salt per 100 pounds of curd, and is ready for use.

The action of a few members of the committee of the school board on employees in drawing the color line is more than we can understand. Had it not been for Judge Garver, Mrs. Evans and Mr. Lindell, four of the oldest and most reliable jantors would have been dispensed with and for no other reason than to make room for white men. What can be the matter with Penwell, Holliday and Atchinson, who have always said they believed in giving the poor colored man a chance to earn a living and be a good citizen. If they are not employed, to what will they resort to support their families. Society is only safe so far as it assists in in keeping the people at work with sufficient means to obtain a livelihood. If there gentlemen who draw the color line would think of the danger that lurks around those who are clothed with plenty and who shut the door in the face of others who are hungry by reason of not being employed, they would not wish to be the first to oppress them. We hope these gentlemen will see the error of their ways, and like Paul of old return to their former promises. No color line should be drawn on the sacred soil of Kansas, the home of old John Brown, where freedom is for all. Blood will flow if ever the Jeff Davis sympathizers attempt to make Kansas like the South. Neither the loyal whites or the progressive blacks will ever stand for that hydra-headed monster to exist on this hallowed spot called Kansas. The colored man is an American citizen and should be respected as one. His family must live. The whites have all the best paying jobs, and get our friend Penwell wants to starve his colored brother.

FOR SALE NOTES FROM MEADOWDOCK FARM By William Pitt Consult with your help. Good, clean runs are a delight to the bens A good cow is seldom sold, except at a high price. Are you troubled with crows about your chicken yards? Food very little soft feed and you will raise more chicks. Clovor can be grown more cheaply than timothy or sodder corn. Bran and meat meal help to supply the young sows with muscle and bone. By putting a little 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 Young as well as old orchards should be plowed in the fall, and thoroughly harrowed in the spring. Celery 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 country out unless you want a lot of stunted little tubers. If there are signs of worms in your dogs' food concentrated live one half teaspoonful to each and well mixed in stop or soft feed. If sweet butter is to be made which will command the highest in het 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 sold along from place to place and is safe handled this way. In setting one fruit tree, or many, the ground should be deeply plowed, thoroughly harrowed and the rows for the trees run out with the two-horse plow. 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 investment 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.
