The eyes of the world have been turned on Kansas during his two administrations, and he has been called into many states to tell of the workings of the new doctrine that has bulged the banks of Kansas with dollars He is what might be termed "a law enforcement governor"—a strenuous ruler. Governor Stubbs is honest and conscientious in his every act and deed, and puts heart and soul into every undertaking. He is the father of many good laws, among them the "banker's guarantee deposit" law, which created a tumult among bankers and also among some of the politicians, but now the state is praising him for it. He has done his best to fulfill every promise, and when he steps down and out he will find much consolation in knowing that he served the people to the best of his ability, without fear, favor or special privileges to any clique, class or clan. Governor Stubbs believes that character and moral worth are the standards by which to measure men, instead of color. In a speech to the Western Negro Press Association, on Thanksgiving night at St. John A. M. E. church, he made a lasting impression upon the editors, and this week their papers will tell in glowing terms of the manly man who is guiding the ship of state in Kansas. He admonished the race to take advantage of every opportunity, and reminded them that all had an equal chance out here in Kansas. The new paper boys liked the Governor, and all declared him a jolly good fellow. C. V.

TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 8, 1911 Colored Boy is Falsely Accused of Crime Mr. Edtort: Knowing that you have been fair towards the Negro through the columns of your paper I write to give to the world the facts as it relates to the purported attempted assault upon Miss Ruth Fife by one Clarence Davis, high school students of this place. There is not a particle of truth in the charge, but here is the facts that I trust you will publish. This boy in common with all other students in his school room was throwing wads of paper at the students and Clarence Davis threw a wad that struck Ruth Fife. No one paid any attention, anymore than they had all other such common occurrences, but when this girl reported to her mother that Clarence Davis had insulted her, it was not the purpose of this mother that there should be any publicity given to this affair but she intended to have the teacher reprimand Clarence Davis in the school room but this girl's father being a member of the A. H. F. A, and southners who naturally oppose mixed schools any way, thought at the only thing to do to have this boy arrested. Hence the news spread among the members of this association and resulted in bringing a mob together in this town, the most of whom were from adjacent towns to the great surprise of the better class of the whites and all of the colored of this town. And when the news flashed over the city of their intention the better class R. S. S. E. A. R. N. M. B. J. E.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT OF SHAWNEE COUNTY, KANSAS Clyde Deaver, Plaintiff, vs. No 26995. Maggie Deaver, Defendant. State of Kansas, County of Shawnee, so: The State of Kansas, to Maggie Deaves Greeting: You are hereby notified that the above named plaintiff has this 30th day of October, 1911, commenced an action --- of white people said the law should take its course. The trial of Clarence Davis was set for 11:00 o'clock a.m., on the following Tuesday but the mother of this girl, Mrs. Pike, called up the County Attorney at Olathe and insisted on not having this boy prosecuted. Notwithstanding the trial was to be at 11:00 o'clock a.m. The County Attorney had called up Clarence Davis's mother and told her that the boy would not be tried but be sent home on the midnight train. However, they brought this boy in for trial at 5:00 p.m. that Tuesday and had him plead guilty to throwing wails of paper which had struck this girl and which the justice of the Peace and Attorneys in the case saw fit to define against Clarence Davis, the justice of as disturbing the peace, not withstanding the fate that Mr. nor Mrs. Pife nor the girl, or any other witness appeared the Peace gave him ninety (90) rays in the county pink, all of this in the face of the fact that Clarence Davis, his mother, and father are honest and industrious citizens and this boy sustains a reputation in this city among white and black that's above reach. Here is a case I think the Governor of the state would be justified in investigating and punishing guilty parties as much so as any injustice in thy Cherokee or Crawford county The above facts I have obtained by careful investigation among both white and black of this city; some of whom were eye witnesses. I am yours for a fair play and a square deal. THE NEW YORK TIMES Daily Capital's "Second Thoughts" to the public.

We call special attention to our advertising columns and see what wonderful bargains are being offered by our enterprising merchants. The McNamras. The confession of the McNamara brothers to the numerous crimes of destroying lives and property to further the cause of union labor, shows what method great organizations will resort to inorder to keep a certain class of men living without the sweat of their brow. The capitalists and less fortunate class who are bared from the union have to much at the hands of such men whose soul purpose is to rule or ruin. If the officials of the U, S. government, states and municipalities would do their whole duty when these labor strikes and complications arise in their respective communities bystamping them out at once, there would be less crimes committed in the name of labor, and thousands of men who are bared from the union would be able to earn a livelihood for their families and capital would cease to be afraid to venture into prospective channels which would mean a greater country. Capital needs protection as well labor. Men running for 'office use too much hypocrisy in decrying capital and mourning for the imaginary wrongs heaped upon labor We believe in labor standing together, but when they draw the line on men on account of co. cr we cannot help but feel that the unions are unfair. We note with regret the instruction of Federal Judge Van Valkenberg to the jury in the case of Dr Tompkins of Kansas City, Mo. who was forced out of a Pullman car in Oklahoma, having purchased his ticket in Kansas City for McAlister Okla. The judge ruled that he was subject to the laws of Oklahoma and so instructed the jury, who brought in a verdict for the company. We do not know where this judge got his backing for the position unless from some unknown fluence which seems to be against the colored people. The judge only demonstrated what a small man he is, and not well versed in interest in commerce, law. Furthermore, he does not represent the Golden Rule or the teachings of the Savior. He should resign from the bench and let a man of higher thoughts of his fellow beings occupy the underground where Judge Van Valkenberg stands. Inter-State Literary Announcement.

"Education is a polishing stone to mankind, but if a man has no ambition to push it, then I claim that it is better that he be taught to work, and solve his problems by being honest and upright, and a good servant rather than an educated gambler or a good-for-nothing man or base woman. "Under the present conditions, let us as Negroes stop to conquer. Let us an no time put anything in print which has a tendency to drive the white man from us. Let us make him our friend. Show him that we are learning to be led and to be governed by the law, and that we are good citizens, and his assistance will enable us to be better citizens. And to you, brother newspaper men, let me say to use precaution as to how we advise the people along that line. It is our duty to win the good will of our white brother that we may demand his respect here and elsewhere." "We feel that we are the guests of Topeka," said President A.J.

The case was tried before an intelligent jury, with Dr Russell as foreman. Lawyer A. M. Thomas judge, O A. Morely clerk of the court. Frd C. Helm, prosecuting attorney, made a stronger fight for the state than in the first hearing, but failed to satisfy the jury. Elisha Scott, attorney for the defense, proved to the jury that H. I.

PARKING LOTS STATE INDUSTRIAL DEPARTMENT QUINDARO, KANSAS. Standing upon the most beautiful and picturesque site, overlooking the placid Missouri river whose shifting sands are constantly meandering slowly and silently toward the great Mississippi, are the Western University and the state industrial department, which department has been so benefically developed and fostered by the great state of Kansas for the industrial training of the Negro youth. That the Western University and its individual department are great and nourishing institutions for the moral, intellectual and industrial training of the Negro youth, is evidenced by the fact that each succeeding year brings a greater number of students than the preceding one. At the head of this great growing educational institution is President II. T. Kealing, and we wish to say right here that language is inadequate to describe the great work that has been and is being done under the direction and management of this great educator. To fully comprehend the scope and magnitude of the wonderful achievements of President Kealing you must visit the educational institutions and see for yourself. The one thing more than any other for which the Negroes in Kansas, and those everywhere who are interested in the education of the Negro, should rejoice, is the absolute devotion of this institution of learning from politics is all educational institutions should be. President Kealing is no politician. He is an able, dignified and scholarly gentleman who is endowed by nature with a splendid intellectuality which, by virtue of his experience of almost a lifetime in educational work, fittingly qualifies him for his present high and honorable position. The life of President Kealing has been an exceedingly busy one, in the church and in the school, for the moral and intellectual uplift of his race. He is one of the great literaturers of the race and is noted for having written several literary works of great excellence in the world of letters. President II. T. Kealing is comparatively a young man, having been born in Austin, Texas. He was educated at Straight University, New Orleans, L.I., and Talor College, Tabor, Iowa. That the life of Dr. Kealing has been one of great usefulness to his race will be observed from the many prominent positions he has from time to time occupied as follows. Supervision of Public Schools, Austin, Texas; Assistant Principal State Normal and Industrial College, Prairie View, Texas; President, two terms, Colored State Teachers Association of Texas; President, Paul Quinn College, Waco, Texas; Member National Educational Association, and representative of Texas on speaker's program at session held in Popelka, Kansas; Member American Society of Political and Social Science, Philadelphia, Pa.; Member Negro Academy, Washington, D.C.; Delegate and A. M. E. spokesman to Educational Conference, World Methodism, London, England; Editor A. M. E. Review, Philadelphia, Pa.; and unanimously re-collected three times; Delegate Federation of Churches of Christ, Philadelphia, Pa.; President of Western University, Quodar, Kansas, and Negro representative to World Peace Congress, Chicago, Ill. Doctor Kealing has travelled exten relatively and lectured in England, France, Scotland, Switzerland, and throughout Europe. As a writer Doctor Kealing has but few equals and no superiors in the race. He is a contributor to various magazines, including the Century Magazine, New York, and the New England Journal of Education, Boston, Mass. The splendid executive ability, experience and business sagacity of President Kealing will, in a few years, enable him to make the Western University and industrial department flourish among the great educational institutions of the country. The Negro group of Kansas and the Southwest generally were exceedingly fortunate in being able to secure the invaluable services of Doctor Kealing, and which are so essential to their future growth and development. Doctor Kealing is a gentle, affable gentleman, of sound, comprehensive judgment and a great practical educator of whom the colour people should be proud—Paul Jones. Aug. 1911 The Fiscal Agent. Hon W. W. Fisher, the agent Western University, is one of the most widely known men in Kansas. He has made an invariable reputation as a platformator, having stamped the state several times in the interest of the Republican party. H. T.

Hoeb, and since taking the position has placed the school on a sound business basis, and can give an accurate account of every penny spent for the school's maintenance at any hour of the day or night. He is a close buyer, and has several hundreds of dollars for the institution during his term of office. He is solid with the people—white and black, and should he ever attempt to leave the institution, a howl would go up from all sections of Kansas. Mr. Fisher is also postmaster of Quincy, owns a beautiful home in Kansas City, Kans. and has two and a family of interesting children. He lights in his family and home a happy man does not exist when he is among them. Dome remor says that he will soon on the platform in Ohio and in time during the coming campaign. He is a strong, logical and convincing speaker, and an entertaining writer. ONE OF THE FAITHFUL! But few men in Kansas have played a more prominent part in the uphill of the race in Kansas, Missouri and the Great West, than Prot. Harry R. Graham, founder of the Western Negro Press Association. He taught in the public schools for years and in 1900 entered in Western University as teacher in printing. He The building is a two-story structure with a flat roof and a series of windows on each floor.

Stubbs, Hon. W. T. Vernon and Hon. Joseph N. Dolley delight Western Negro Editors-sixy Newspaper owners dine and discuss the past and future The meeting of the Western Negro Press Association at Topeka last week, was a crowning success. This was the largest attendance in number of editors for years. This meeting was beneficial to everybody and a better feeling between the races will be the outcome. Governor Stubbs and Bank Commissioner Dolley so demonstrated in their talks to the Association. Both said there should be no race discrimination. The people of Kansas should feel proud of this meeting, which has wrought so much good. The welcome address by Prof Nathaniel Sawyer was inspiring, and brought forth the meat that was in the cocoanut. The response by S Douglas Ruussatl, superintendent of the Colored Orphan and Deaf Mute Institution, located at Taft, Okla, continued to pour oil on the J. PRESIDENT A. J. SMITHERMAN dance of Professor Sawyer, when he said that Kansas was credited with the distinction of being the only place in the world that had ever tarred and feathered a woman that as yet Oklahoma had not reached that stage Hon W.

Fisher of Western University said that if the colored people who pretend to be up and want romance would pay for the papers the colored editors would be better off and would not be strained up Both the Topeka Capital and the Daily State Journal give good space to the meeting and from their reports we cull the following: Seventy-five prominent colored editors have arrived in the city today from the states west of the Mississippi river to attend the meeting of the Western Negro Press association, which begin this afternoon at 2 o'clock in the St. John's A. M. H. church, corner Seventh street and Tipoca avenue. This evening a banquet will be held in connection with which Governor W. R. Stubbs and W. T. Vernon of Washington, D.C., will be the prominent speakers. Lawis Woods, editor of the Kansas City Sun, and a prominent negro poet from Kansas City, Mo., is one of those attending the meeting. The others of the association present are: A. J. Smitherman, president, W. A. Hall, Wagner, Ohio, vice president, J. B. Cook, Milwaukee, secretary; Nick Chiles, treasurer; Prof H. R. Gerhahn, of Western university, historian. "We are now passing through a critical stage," declared President A. J. Smitherman, manager of the Sumitomo of Muskogee, Ohio, in addressing the delegates to the fifteenth annual meeting of the Western Negro Press association holding Thanksgiving evening in the St. John's A. M. F. church, corner Seventh street and Totek avenue. "Race prejudice," he continued, "and race discrimination are spreading and no steps are being taken by the national government to remedy this deplorable condition. "Something must be done. This thing can not go on forever. But whatever is done must be done through the co-operation of the best colored and the best white people in the country. "July 4, 1896, a number of negro editors met in the Pilgrim Baptist church at Kansas City, Mo., and perfected the first permanent organization ever formed among colored newspaper men of the United States. "The need for such an organization was first appreciated by Prof. Horry R. Graham, our present historian, and Mr. Irene Frehrick, who were at that time editors of the St. Joseph Mirror, and as a result of their constant agitation and correspondence on the subject, a convention of all the colored editors west of the Mississippi river was called Out of this grow the Western Negro Press association. "The purpose of the association is not to place any restrictions whatever on the publications in our district, as some seem to thank, but it is to lend strength and brawn the scope of good influence wherever and whenever we can. "We should remember that we owe it to our patron saint, Frederick Douglass, that pardon exponent of human rights, who in his zeal to further the interest of his people, established and published the first negro journal ever published in America." Prominent Editors Present Other prominent speakers stated to spark at the banquet are the governor W. K. Stabloe, W. T. Vernon, supervisor of records, department of the interior, Washington, D. C., and Prof. W. W. Pisher, fiscal agent of the Western uni- versity, Kansas City. Among the prominent men attending the meeting are Harry R. Graham, founder of the organization and first president, who is connected with the Western university at Kansas City, Kan.; Elwin H. Hickley, in the post office department at Philadelphia; John L. Thompson of Des Moines, edi- tor of the Restinder, Nack Charles, edi- tor of the Plumdaleer, Topaka. These men are all presidents. There are 100 people associated with the organization and there are many of the prominent voters here in the city. The territory covered is that lying west of the Mississippi river. A resolution attentively demanding the chief executive of South Carolina for his attitude toward business was adopted at the closing session of the Western Negro Press Association here at his afternoon. The resolution requires that the attitude is regarded by the association as a designee to "the chief executive of the South;" and has "regarded the chief executive office of South Carolina." The session of the resolution came to an end after officers for the county, year after their elected and various resolutions had been read and adopted. The meeting also adopted an "Address to the Counties" in which it sets out what it stands for, and what its reportions are. The others elected for the comm- year are: President, A. J. Smitherman Cumhur, Muskogee, Okla; first vice president, A. W. Harris, Sec. billitt, Sedalia, Mo; second vice president, C. W. Walker, Pecanman, Indianapolis, Ind.; recording secretary, J. D. Cooke, Delenber, Milwaukee, Wis.; corre- sponding secretary, L. A. Bell, Amer- ian, Wagoner, Okla.; assistant secretary, P. C. Thomas, Herald, Topeka; treasurer, Nak Chiles, Plumdale, Topeka; historian, Harry R. Graham, Founder, Quindaro, Kan.; chapelita, Rev. J. R. Rinsom, Topeka. The exe- cutive committee includes A. D. Griffin, Plumdale, Topeka; Lewis Woods, Kansas City, Sun; Kansas City, Mo; W. E. King, Express, Dallas, Tex.; C. H. Buchman, Sategunt, Guthrie, Okla.; John L. Thompson, Bystander, Des Moines, Iowa; W. A. Hill, Protest. St. Joseph, Mo. The next meeting of the annual association will be held at Milwaukee, Wis. Resolutions adopted by the association at its closing session were as follows: "Whereas, the Western Negro Press association in its fifteenth annual session convened in the city of Topeka, completed one of its most successful and businesslike meetings in its history at which session more than a negro purpose were represented, and a program of mutual interest and benefit to the craft was realized, therefore, be it "Resolved, That we extend a vote of thanks to the Plumlether of which Mr. Nick Chiles is either; the pastor and trustee of the St. John's A M P L church, all of the city papers, Miss Jesse Olen, W.

T Vernon, and all of the good citizens of Topoka and the Negro Business League for the banquet given to the association; "Resolved, That the recommendations of the president's address were due and timely which showed study and forethought for the best interest of the association and that the same be accepted and approved and put into effect as far as possible. Do it further." "Resolved, That this association highly commends Madame C. J.

The address to the country, adopted by the association, is as follows: "We, the members of the Western Negro Press association, in convention assembled, on this Thursday, November 30, A. D. 1911, with due appreciation of the day and its significance we knowledge our thanks to the Supreme Ruler of the universe for the blessings M. HARRY R. GRAHAM, FOUNDER which have come to the convention members individually and collectively to the race we represent and all mankind. With these presents come our greeting to the country at large. The members of this body which by the conservatism which they have introduced to barm set before the people of this country those things conducive to the well-being of our people and thus the American citizenship of which we are a part; invoking every substance of race feeling and making our plea on the broad basis of universal justice. "We would appeal to the lot of patience, opinion and ask that its ruminators used proper color shall be at rest. We do this following that the fundamental of our present day civilization demand that merit and worth shall count and that nothing shall stand between the worthy and the reward of his labor. This is done with the involved purpose of making better the standard of American manhood and civilizing that spirit of independence of thought and activity the necessary requisite in a free republic. America grows in greatness and her perpetuity is more completely assured when every man counts for one and industry for more than one. "The righteousness which a shortchief nation shall and must be more clearly demonstrated in America, than anywhere in the civilized world. "With faith in the justice of our cause we would ask that distrust consequent and discrimination because of col- or and anything that savors of unfairness before the law shall cease. We believe that there is enough fairness in the American republic to finally secure this result. "We deplore and denounce lawlessness, crime, indolence and protigality in any race and are not unmindful of the fact that these exist among the white race as well as the negro race. We would urge upon them a higher conception of duty to family, society and country. We would advise that they save money, purchase homes, become property owners and tillers of the soil. "To the farm where there are unlimited opportunities, we would advise them to go. The tillers of the soil have ever been the sturdy commander, the foundation of society and the forrunners of a powerful commercialism which has moved the world. "We argue earnestly for education both high and industrial and believe in the preparation of our youths to fill every avenue open to the citizens of a republic." "The members of the Western Negro Press association pledge themselves to stand for the highest in journalism and for the propagation of all things upholding and inspiring. We ask members of all professions, activities and varied employments shall join in the new movement to make better and stronger the race of which we are a part; and prove our right to all the guarantee of our federal constitution by a wise and faithful performance of of the duties therein imposed." VERNON ALSO PRAISES TOPEKA AND ABHAHAM LINCONI AND ABHAHAM LINCONL. In an interview this afternoon, W. T. Vernon, a registrar of the United States treasury and now with the United States educational department, and an obsequit tribute to Topeka, the state of Kansas and to Arbham Lincoln, Mr. Vernon is attaining the 15th annual session of the Western Negro Press association, which is holding a two class session at the St. John's A. M. F. church. Spirit of Kansas Spirit of West. "The Western Negro Press assm in tion does well when it meets in the capital city of the great state of Kau- sas," said Mr. Vernon, "for here men are not immobilied and free. "The spirit of Kaustas is the spirit of the West. This spirit sweeps the air of the prairies and gives to us thos sults of civilization, thus western emper . "A part of this great movement of uphill and progress you have been and are, and it does not yet appear what you shall be. The race never model so much as now the real leaders, whose hearts are consecrated to the cause of uphill and radical belemnt. Tribute to Lincoln. "The works of Lincoln to the fall- ing abolitionists should inspire a cew- men in the struggle of life. Neither let us be standard from our duty be- tale accusations against us, nor fright- ured from it by threats of memoirs to the government, or dungeons to our selves. "This wise, patient man was truly ordained for the work. He came un- heardable out of the night, and in a day pregnant with future things changing and upon making was equal to every emergency. He stood for liberty, he stood for humanity. "In proportion as we shall educate the youth of the race, accumulate reality holdings, make ourselves worthy and in indispensable elements in the body politic, will we prove that Lincoln's emancipation was not in vain." TRIALS OF AN EDITOR. The investment of $22 and a gold watch to get out the first and last issue of a weekly paper was the experience of P. G. Thomas, editor of the Kansas Watchman, and Kansas Baptist Herald, Negro publications. This was Mr. Thomas' first journalistic work. He described this and other ups and downs in the newspaper work in second day meeting at the fifteenth session of the Western Negro Press association this morning at the St. John's A. M. E. church. His subject was "Rise and Growth of Negro Journalism." Among other things he said: "The first paper to be published by a negro was a weekly printed in Boston in 1857 by a Mr. Lewis. It was only one sheet, 9x12. From this Negra publications have increased in size and numbers until now a 24 page weekly. The National Review, is published at Nashville, Tenn., by W. G. Boyle. Over 300 Negra publications appear in the United States at present, including several magazines and three dailies, one in New York City, one in Philadelphia, and one in Richmond, Va. "My own first newspaper experience was 22 years ago at Kansas City. Two others and myself started a weekly called the Baptist Banner. I invested $22 in cash and a gold watch and the others all they could in the project. After one issue we had to suspend publication for lack of funds or support. However the experience got the tower into me and I have been in newspaper work ever since. Develop Own Writers. "I think we need to develop writers, solicitors and collectors among our M. Young people. We can not look after the cultural and properly along with everything else in newspaper business." A.W. Harris, of the Searchlight, Sidgale, Mo., urged Negro journalists to pay more attention to circulation so as to have a good advertising medium—not to put advertising upon a purely business basis. J. D. Cooke, editor of the Defender, Milwaukee, Wis., emphasized the fact that a great responsibility rested upon Negro editors as to the education and upbring of their race, that they should see to it that their papers were educational factors in the Negro home. Prot. H. R. Gorham, founder of the association and with the Western universities at Ogunadro, said that some indebtment should be given to keep Negro help in Negro painting offices and to persuade Negroes to learn trades in general. He stated that at his school the manual trades were availble, but stenography and bookkeeping departments were over crowded. Speaking informally after this morning's session, A. J. Sutherland, president of the association, said: "I wish to thank the press of Topkai and Tupka people in general for the courtesy extended us. We feel that we have been a part of the city." At the beginning of the session the vocation was given by theplain Rev. 11.11.12. Talks of Criminals This afternoon the program included an address on "Criminal Law as Appliance to Allied Negro Criminals," by J. H. Hall of the American Wagoner, 4014. The committee on resolutions made its report and other routine business was taken up after which the convention adjourned. Goy. Stubbs Talks. "The black man has as good a chance in Kansas as the white man," declared Governor W. R. Stubbs before the colored editors assembled at the evening session of the meeting of the Western Negro Press association, in the St. John's A. M. H. church, corner Seventh street and Topeka avenue. "There may be prejudice in certain localities against the Negro, but not in Kansas, and God Almighty was awful- ly kind to give you people the best good nature, the greatest physical strenght of any people on earth. If you will build your lives upon Christian character, you certainly will succeed. "He loyal to your God; he loyal to yourself; he loyal to your friends. The people who tell the truth; the people who don't want you to feel your manhood and your womanhood are your friends." "I congratulate the Negroes of Kansas upon the tremendous progress they have made in less than 50 years. No other race has done so much in so short a time. There are fine opportunities in this country for the white and black man. It has not been many years ago that I worked on a farm for the same wages as that received by a Negro who worked for the same farmer. "The Negro editors should tell their people to save their money, and to teach the children to save money for the days when they will be too old to work." "The black people have had pretty fair treatment by the Kansas newspapers, and in the schools where the whites and blacks go to school together. The government in Kansas as it is now administered is for both races alike. I believe in enforcing the laws for all alike." "As a race we have a great deal to be thankful for," said W. T. Vernon, former registrar of the United States treasury, and one of the most prominent negroes in the country. "For 300 years the negro has been singing the sorrow song, but now we are going to sing the song of triumph. The Negro Press association has a great opportunity to place before the American people the truth about lynchings, burnings and other crimes against the race. We want no war with any people. We want to make all the friends we can, and to work in harmony with the white people for the uplift of both races. That is the thing that will win. Let us not forget to thank the white man who stood for us, the white man who did singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic. "Let us believe in the ultramyster spirit, losing our lives in the service of others, finding it in their intelling. Men who have done things have lost sight of themselves and done those things that were right and truthful. We have risen from the pulse beat of despair to the trailing of hope and family to success and triumph." No "Jim Crow" Cats. "Kansas will never have a "shirt grow" car." was the assertion of J. N. Dolly, state bank commissioner. "The white men won't stand for it." "When I was in New Orleans, recently I went into the rear of a street car and sat down. The conductor came in and said I could not sit there. I asked him for the reason and he said that section was for the negro, and I would have to go up in front. I protested to the conductor telling him that part of the car was good enough for me, but in ordained me to vate my seat. I have been wondering since whether he thought I was not good enough to ride there, or whether I would be disgraced." The invocation was pronounced by the Rev. J. R. Runsum, presiding elder of the Topka conference of the A. M. E. church. Miss Jessie Olen rendered a vocal solo. Principal N. Sawyer of Topka, gave the address of welcome, N. D. Russell, president of Industrial Institute, Tutt Oklahoma, responded on behalf of the association. President A. J. Smitherman spoke. Prior to the evening session a banquet was held presided over by John Wright, city treasurer. Those who responded to the toasts were: Lewis Woods, editor of the Kansas City Sun; A. J. Smitherman, Muskogee, Obla; A W. Harris, Solditt, Mo; S. Doughas Russell, Tait; Obla; J. D. Coch, Milwaukee, Wis; R. H. Grismon, L. A. Bell, Wagner, Obla; Samuel Barrow, Russell Springs, Kau; J. W. Perguson, Topaka; W T. Vettan, Washington, D. C. Woods Delivers Address. Laws Woolk, editor of the Kansas City Sun, Kansas City, Mo., in the course of his address delivered before the association but Thursday attested, declared that in his opinion Booker T. Washington has done more in solving the rice problem than any other man. "Washington has done more, in my opinion, to solve what we call the race problem than any other man of the time today," he said. "He went into the jungles and carved out a place for himself and made it a city and haunted it, and is doing the greatest work to lift the manhood and womanhood of the negro race of any man today. Not only does he stand in the trout ranks of his race, but is capable of leading any race. And as Washington has led the way, so should we follow if we expect to do anything. The white man has spent thousands of dollars to educate the Negro, and in a measure we have plenty of fathers and mothers who have worked at the hardest labor of chopping wood and washing to send the boy and the girl to school, but after acquiring the education the boy or girl Conciued on Page 6 ‘SE WTON, KANS.

JOHN SEATON One of Kansas' most Noted Citizens—Helped to Make States History—A Statesman, Soldier and Business Man of Atchison The history of Kansas would be incomplete without the name of Capt. John Seaton, foremost citizen of Atchison, pioneer Kansas and friend of life, justice, and humanity. He settled in Kansas as in early days and suffered all the hardships of pioneer days and offered his life that this fair land might never be cursed with the ravages of human slavery. Ton to Belmont, on the Mississippi river, opposite Columbus, Ky., where he opened the first battle under the command of Gen. P. S. Grant, Capt. Seaton once lived in Belleville, Ill., and often in the war visited St. Louis. "Capt. Seaton was a member of the Kansas legislature for twenty years and now, at the age of 77 years, is an ardent Republican. "Capt. Seaton passed November 5 Since the dark days of the cruel war Capt. Station's life has been devoted to the uplift of Kansas and mankind and him and his kind the state can never pay them fitting honor, and their name and noble deeds will live as long as time. Capt. Seaton has contributed more to make Atchison than any two men in the county. Forty years ago, he established the John Seaton Foundry & Manufacturing Company, and during this period paid out $4,000,000 for labor alone. He has always had colored men in his employ, some who have been with him over a quarter of a century. Speaking of the colored men who have made honored records in the Seaton Foundry the Atchison Daily Champion says: "There probably is not another institution in McKinson that has as many men in its employ who have worked for the same institution for twenty years or more, as the John seaton foundry. "John Jacobs, foreman of the machine shops at the foundry, never worked a day in his life for anyone but John Seaton. He was employed at the foundry 36 years ago. He was 16 years old at the time he went to work. Joe Howard has worked there 30 years: P. B. Wycoff, 32 years, Charles Hart, 66 years; E. C. Pletcher, 25 years, and Clay Smith 21 years. There are several colored men at the foundry who also have excellent records among them being Jerry Rucker, a core worker, who has been working there 7 years. He started three years after the foundry was established. Joe Fisher, is another colored man, who has seen lot of service in the establishment. He has been there 10 years. The records of other colored men are as told "We have not removed in the employ of the fourry so many years" one of the oldest employees was asked "Well the wnces put here are very good," and Mr. Seaton is a bit tired to work for. In all the years I have worked here, I have never had an sufferest thing with anyone. The work is strenly and the loves are all out of keeping, their jobs as long as they do the right thing." Captain Seaton Visits Battlefield. The St. Louis Globe Demonstrat of last Saturday tells the following story of the first citizen of Kansas: Capt John Sutton of McHison, Kin, arrived in St Louis last night from Pelmort Mo. Memories of battle he fought in the civil war and a desire and more to visit the ground on which he had fought took Capt. Sea N.Y. One of the most progressive business firms in the West is that of Mr. and Mrs. James A B Cone of Leavenworth, Kansas They conduct a fine Confectionery and Cafe, at ard and Kiowt, and own the real estate and building there in Mr. Cone was born in the state of Georgia, came West several years ago, first going to Colorado and thence to Leavenworth He was married to Miss Lowry, one of the most beautiful, cultured and energetic young ladies of Birmingham, Ala, 19 years ago. They moved to the suburbs of Kansas City, Mo, where they engaged in truck gardening, fruit and poultry. They made a wonderful success. They own ser. ton to Belmont, on the Mississippi river, opposite Columbus, Ky., where he opened the first battle under the command of Gen. U. S. Grant, Capt. Seaton once lived in Belleville, Ill., and often in the war visited St. Louis. "Capt. Seaton was a member of the Kansas legislature for twenty years and now, at the age of 77 years, is an ardent Republican. "Capt Seaton passed November 7 walking over the hill of Delmont, will remain in St. Louis several days in hope of finding some old associates. In 1861 Capt Seaton, in Belleville, formed Company B of the Twenty-second regiment. "A the close of the war Capt. Seaton moved to Atchison, where he engaged in the iron foundry business. "Capt. Senton informs us of the correctness of the above, except the raising of the company given at Belleville. This company was raised in Alton, Ill., went into camp at Belleville May 11, 1861. The Twenty-second regiment Illinois Volunteer Infantry was held at Belleville and Caseville, Ill., close to St. Louis, for possible use there, until July 5, 1861, and was then sent to Bird's Point, Mo." It is a source of pleasure for one to sit and listen to Capt. Sinton relate the starring incidents of campaigns in the Southland and listen to him sing all war ballads. The windows of his very soul open up and when relating these incidents his eyes flashes and all the fires of youth are rekindled; he is young again and ready to again face the enemy in defense of the old flag. It was the call of humanity that starred his young blood, and now in the evening of a well spent life, he is just as cathuslastic and just as willing to sacrifice home, family and money for the noble cause of freedom. His blood stars at the struts of "Marching Through Georgetown," and his step quickens at the keen blasts of bugle; it recalls his gone days, days that tried man's soul, and a smile of joy lightens the captain's face as it flashes through his mind that he was amid that throng of sturdy youngsters that stood the test In spathing of his trip to the old but the fold, the Captain relates a good story of an all colored man he met while looking over the historic spot. He was born and the district, said Capt. and I should judge that he was a high morbidity of a hundred. I told him who and what I loved the little brown. The age of the G.A.E. and the heart he kept with joy. I am and I admire him. I am you. Yes my soul is not a white man that fought for the lives of me and my people. I am carried me in his arms and I will be as mother would a child. Captain Seaton is a sturdy Rep of bent, and while he is not taking a active part in politics, the great mass of voters are urging that he act as a delegate to the impel of State Convention THE WOMEN'S HERITAGE eral valuable pieces of property in Leavenworth and farm land in Texas He believes in progressive people. Their business is well located on the latterurban and city line from Kansas City, Mo., to Fort Leavenworth, on the corner of Bird and Kiowa. Everything is neat, clean and first-class. A fine soda fountain has been installed, which adds much to the place. He is an Old Fellow and Mason, has a host of friends, believes in socialism and lectures on the subject at times for his party. He has a fine Hall which is used for those who love dancing, also select parties are served. The Plaindealer wishes this happy and prosperous couple continued success.
