STATE HOUSE TH VOLUME XIV. The Time is Ripe Arkansas C and Manager Griffin Visits the Business to Men and Politicians at Winfield in and Other Points in Cowley Coun- y—The Political Pot Is Boiling O Strong and Things Are Booming Generally. A. B. Moore, Mayor of Arkansas City, hansen. The prosperous and thriving lit the town of Arkansas City is now entering the brightest and most promising commercial era of her history. There is prevalent even in the air a spirit of unity, push and prosperity, and these promising conditions are chiefly due to the fact that the city has entrusted her municipal affairs in the hands of wide-awake, alert young men who have the welfare of the city at hear and are willing to labor indefatigably for the commercial supremacy of the gateway city. At the head of the class and foremost in the vanguards of the young men who are paying the way for the greatness of Arkansas City is A. H. Moore. Mr. Moore's splendid business administration evidences the wisdom of placing young men at the helm when something worth while is to be accomplished. Mr. Moore has lived in Arkansas City all his life and his whole heart and soul is bent upon making Arkansas City one of the best commercial towns in Kansas. He is a young man of sterling qualities and marked integrity, absolutely honest and a thick worker for success along all lines of honest endeavors. He served six years as councilman and during that time he conceived the interest of the taxpayers with the same vigilance and watchfulness that warked his success in his own prosperous and well regulated business. He is broad and measures men by worth and ability, and color of skin puts to figure with him. He has at all times shown a commendable spirit of fairness to the colored people of his community and the same is highly appreciated by them. On the public works he has given, it out plainly and emphatically that no discrimination shall be made, that any man, white or black, that lives in Arkansas City, who applies for work, must be given equal consideration. There is an unfair and uncalled for movement started by a few men who wish to get the municipal terms of Arkansas City in their hands, for a commission form of government. While there may have been cities in the United States where a change to the municipal form of government has done them good, it fails absolutely to see any occasion for a change from the present form of city government now in vogue. Every conservative taxpayer should consider well the old adage of "swapping horses" in the middle of a stituation, and cast their ballots to retain the present form of city government and uphold the hands of their upheld mayor and council in their laudable efforts to make Arkansas City a greater and better commercial center. Mayor Moore's word is his bond, and he contributes most freely his time and means to all movements tending to the advancement of the city's welfare. The city is indeed fortunate to have her destinies guarded by such a worthy young man as A. H. Moore. The Home National Bank, Arkansas Cities, Kansas The Home National Bank of Arkansas City, one of the oldest banks in Cowley county, does a large business and under the careful and capable supervision of the president, Mr. Albert E. Denton, and the Cashier, Mr. R. A. Brown, with their corps of able assistants, the business is increasing every day. They want your business and will treat you right. The bank was founded in 1888, carries a capital stock of $50,000 and a surplus of $5,000 and is a government depositary. Every dollar deposited with them is guaranteed by the Bankers' deposit guarantee and surety company of Topeka, with a capital of $500,000. Otia Moore, Arkansas Ci'', Kansas. Among the prosperous young business men who are doing much toward advancing the commercial interests of Arkansas City none are more deserving of mention than Mr. Otis Moore, at 221 South Summit street. Mr. Moore carries a complete stock of staple and fancy groceries and quality is his guiding star. He believes in quick sales and small profits. He has served in the City Council and guarded the interests of the taxpayers with the same vigilence that he exercises in his own private business. The Ranney-Davis Mercantile Company, the leading wholesale grocers of the southwest. Exclusive agents for Pitsright overalls and coats. Try them and you will be pleased. Thy have houses at Arkansas City, Kansas; Enid, Oklahoma, and Anthony, Kansas. The manager, W. R. Runney, is an old Topka boy, courteous and strictly business. He treats everybody right. T. B. Oldroyd & Sons, Arkansas City Kansas. Among the substantial and successful business houses of Arkansas City, none is more deserving of mention than the well and favorably known firm of T. B. Oldloyd & Sons. The senior member of the firm, Mr. Oldloyd, came to Arkansas City a quarter of a century ago, and by close attention to business and a policy of absolute honesty and fair dealing they have built up a business that leads all others in this vicinity along their lines. They carry a complete line of high grade furniture and their undertaking and emulating department are second to none in Kansas. Mr. Oldloyd came from the grand old state of Ohio, and his father belonged to that splendid galaxy of liberty-loving men who risked their property and their lives in operating the underground railway. Among the sturdy conscientious pioneers who came to Cowley county in the early days, 1902 is a more splendid type of those honest and persevering settlers than E. W. Coulson, who settled in Beaver township in 1871, with a determination to make a success, and, imbued with a spirit of honesty and perseverance he stuck it out, and his efforts have been crowned with abundant success. M. Coulson is an old soldier, with a record of four years of gallant service in defense of Old Glory. He consisted in Company E, 78th Ohio Infantry Volunteers, in November, 1841, and was mustered out in July, 1861. He belongs to that class of men to whom the greatest credit is due in the winning of the West—men who, undaunted by a lack of conditions, drought and grasshoppers, stuck to Kansas and have finally made it the greatest and most wonderful state in the Union. He is fair and square to all citizens and has a religion of friends among the colored voters. He was elected by a hard-core majority to the office of Register of Deeds of Cowley County, and his policy in the administration of the affairs of his office has been one of close adherence to the law regulating such offices. He is a candidate for re-election, and the splendid shape in which he keeps his office and his honest, conscientious endeavor to do his duty commends his candidacy to the favorable consideration of all fair-minded voters. He strives to conserve the interests of the taxpayers with the same diligence he exercises in his own private affairs. The voters will renominate and elect him and thus tender him that just reward which he so richly merits. Mr. D. L. Montgomery of Winfield, Kan., a Progressive Colored Cities. 600 Among the young men of Kansas whose example is worthy of emulation by other young men, is F. I. Montgomery of Winfield, who came to Kansas sixteen years ago from Louisiana with twenty-five cents in his pocket, but with a strong determination to win, and possessing the essential qualifications of success—thrift, frugality and honesty—he went to work, saved his money, invested it judiciously and did his work TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING. FEB.23, 1912 money and conscientiousy. He now owns a beautiful home, several houses renting for ten to twelve dollars per month, and other vacant property. He has a handsome bank account and his wealth is conservatively estimated at from $7000 to $9000. He has an estimable wife, who has been a wonderful help to him. She is accomplished and is an ideal housekeeper and cook. To have such a noble and devoted wife is indeed a stimulus to greater and higher action. They have a loving little daughter, Josie, bright and talented, who contributes much to the happiness of the Montgomery home. Mr. Montgomery is depot master for the Santa Fe, having held the position for more than ten years, and before that he worked at the State Asylum for five years. Having held only two jobs during his life and the one he now holds, shows Mr. Montgomery to be man who attends strictly to his duty. He has a legion of friends in Cowley county. We need more men in Kansas like D. L. Montgomery. First National Bank, Winfield, Kan. This bank was organized as the First National Bank, June 14, 1854, from Read's Bank, the M. I. Read bank having been organized September 21, 1872. W. C. Robinson, who was assistant cashier of the M. I. Read Bank, becoming cashier of the newly organized First National Bank. In 1891 Mr. Robinson became president, and still holds that honorable position. It prudent and conservative business policy, the business of the bank has grown continuously until it is readily conceded to have the strength of Gibraltar. It has the proud distinction of being a "roll of honor," bank, possessing surplus and profits in excess of capital, which is the best possible evidence of his strength and security. It rebounds to the credit of Winfield that the First National Bank, with other banks of the town has never been in anywise embarrassed by panicky times, and for liberal and prudent banking, Winfield banks stand among the best. Mr. W. C. Robinson, president of the First National Bank, is the oldest banker in point of continuous service in Southern Kansas, and in the state excepting John R. Mulane, of Topeka, Kan. Mr. Robinson is a co-owner, broad minded man, the embodiment of business and integrity, and the soul of honor. He is a tipe scholar, with a true Christian heart, who believes in a square deal to all mankind. He is an ardent admirer of John Brown of Harper's Perry, and Lincoln is his ideal American statesman. He comes from an ancestry imbued with the spirit of human liberty to all mankind, and his fair, honorable and upright life evidences fully that he has inherited those splendid ideas. Mr. Robinson is a warm personal friend of Dr. Booker T. Washington, and is deeply interested in the splendid work of the great Negro educator. He is public sprinted, and has contributed time and means to the upbuilding of Winfield and the contiguous country. He is a financier worthy of exemplification, and holds the most implicit confidence of the community in which he lives. No words of commendation to our people are too high for Mr. Robinson. We only regret that such men are so few and so far apart. Hon. G. H. Buckman. While In Winfield we had the honor of meeting the Hon. G. H. Buckman, formerly a member of the Legislature from Cowley county. Judre Buckman stands high in the councils of the Republican party of the state. Being one of the ablest and most dignified lawyers in Kansas, his advice is much sought by conscientious Republicans who have the welfare of the party at heart. He is not a candidate for any office, but is always laboring for harmony and unity in the party, and works like a Trojan for his friends and Republican success. He wants to see the party get together. A. C. Bangs, the courteous and competent clerk of the District Court, is a candidate for renomination at the hands of the Republican party of Cowley County. Mr. Bangs has made an efficient and painstaking officer. He has lived in Winfield many years and has a host of friends. He is a man of marked ability and sterling worth, is absolutely honest and his capabilities have never been questioned. His nomination is generally conceded and it is the concept of opinion among the rank and file of the Republican party that such action will be a fitting recognition of worth and a reward of merit, justly bestowed upon a faithful and conscientious public servant. Mr. Bangs has many colored friends who commend him as a fair-minded man, who treats everyone according to his merit. He has systematized his office and brought it up to the highest degree of efficiency. We predict his renomination by a large majority. A HARD BLOW TO THE COLOR LINE IN NEW YORK THEATERS IS DELIVERED BY LEVY DECISION. Colored Parties Refused Seats in Orchestra Circle and Assistant Treasurer Convicted Under Criminal Statute. --- A death blow to the color line in the Broadway theater, which for many years have baited colored patrons from the orchestra circle, was given last Monday in the special sessions of the criminal court was the first criminal action unanim New York criminal code for erecting on October 11 Louis Baldwin from the first floor of his house. This was the first criminal conviction ever carried in this state for discrimination in a place of public accommodation of pleasure and it therefore sets precedent for the interests of the colored citizens of this state and country. It is doubtful if any theater will ever come to bear responsible colored people from its floors when the penalty is a fine of from 350 to 500, on a sentence in jail, on oath. For this splendid victory for whites for all citizens in New York he Impure State, Ju the Holt presiding, Dull and McNary of special sessions, the stalwart District Attorney Whitman and his able assistants, Frances B. Smith and Cornelius W. Dougald, and the New York Vigilance Committee, Galchrist Stewart, Cummann, and Prof. Jodl K. Spinnan are equally responsible. District Attorney Whitman was especially tough in the part he played, having decided in the first instance when the case of discrimination was called to his attention by the committee "to enforce the law to the letter, regardless of creed on color." Associated with the determined District Attorney Smith was Chas. H. Studin, the noted lawyer and vice chairman of the Vigilance Committee. Scarcely less important than the decision itself was the opinion of Justice Holt handed down during the course of the trial in reproof of Levy's counsel that a colored man bringing suit for discrimination on account of his color, is acting within the law. Nearly a half hundred of the prominent theater men of this city were in the court throughout the trial and when Judge Holt coldly announced the verdict "guilty" a silence like that of the tomb pervaded the large and expectant audience. Levy was remanded to the Tomsb to await bond for his appearance in court on Thursday, when he was sentence. Statement of Facts. Prior to October 13th of last year the complaintant sent a messenger to the Lyric theater and purchased two tickets calling for seats in the orchestra, for which he paid $2. On the 13th he entered the theater with one Miss Jennie A. Green shortly before the hour at which the play was given. He was shifted from one usher to another, all of whom declined to seat him, and the head usher sought to take the tickets away from him by force, tearing one in half. Mr. Baldwin, in company with the lady, thereupon withdrew from the orchestra and theater to the box office, and was there met by the defendant, Harry A. Levy, who informed Mr. Baldwin that he was the assistant treasurer of the theater, and that it was not the custom of the Lyric or any other first class theater in the city of New York to permit colored people to occupy seats in the orchestra; that if he so desired he might have the $1 that he had paid for the tickets, or he might make an exchange and take seats in any other part of the theater and the difference between the orchestra seats which he had purchased and the seats which he might occupy would be refunded to him. Mr. Baldwin declined to do this, and went to Gilchrist Stewart, chairman of the Vigilance Committee. Gilchrist Stewart brought Mr. Baldwin to the District Attorney's office, where complaint was made against the defendant to the District Attorney, and the matter was assigned to Deputy Assistant District Attorney McDougall, who caused the arrest of the defendant on October 29 and held him for hearing, which took place in the Seventh District Magistrate's Court, 314 West 54th street, November 2, 1911, at 9 a.m. Mr. Baldwin is a real estate dealer and has recently come to New York to conduct his business as real estate operator here, and has taken offices at 26 Broad street. Miss Green resides at 29 Corbin avenue, Jersey City. When deponent entered the theater and during the time he remained in the theater he was in the orchestra circle, and they deported themselves according to the custom of those who were being seated at the time. The arrest was caused under section 514 of the Penal Law of the State of New York, Act of 1895, chapter 1012, as repaired by the laws of 1909, chapter 14, entitled an act to protect "civil and public rights," which is to part as follows: "A person who excludes a citizen of this state by reason of race, color or previous condition of servitude from the equal enjoyment of any condition, faculty or privilege furnished by any express or common carriers, or by owners, lessees or managers of theaters or other places of amusement, or by teachers and officers of common schools and public institutions of learning, or byemetery associations, is guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable by a fine of not more than $700." RACE DISCRIMINATION. Laucing, Kan, Feb 19, 1912. Editor Plainkaker: Sir: Please allow me space in the columns of your paper to express my opinion of this great wave that is sweeping over our country and causing some of our thoughtful men to take cognizance—face discrimination. Unfortunately, this is something that must be given more attention, to my mind than anything that confuses us at the present time. Tell me, what has this black skin of our done to our Caussian brother? I, in my humble way, can not figure it out. We of our race who are trying to live honest, upright lives, must continually meet this monster at every turn of the road. In the business world we meet him; in the public highway we come face to face with him; on railways and electric cars we meet him, and almost any avenue of life we may pursue now we are forced to shake this monster's duty, cold, slimy hand. Where are those old scholars of the old school of the Caussian race who stood up boldly before God and man and proclaimed justice to all mankind? Has all of that honest, Christian blood died with them, and in its place a rumined kind infused itself in the veins of their children, and it is now coming out in the form of a viper wrapped in the mantle and garb to humbate the black man all they can? If some of that old blood of the sixties would return, it would claim no relationship with the present generation. And could our old back-booten grandfathers, who worked and filled the coffers of that old blood, so that the present generation could rear those fine buildings and large cities, step back on this stage of action, they would cry out in one loud voice: "Give my children that which you promised them, when I was young, in '61, a free and equal right to the tree of life." And that they should never be known by color, but by name. In a way, I partly blame the separate school system for such condition in this state, and in a way I am proud that our boys and girls are taught by our own people, for a mother knows her child better than strangers. So it is with our boys and girls, taught by our own blood. Yet it NUMBER 8 seems to me from this started the segregation idea in the minds of our Caucasian brothers, and the result is, keep back, Mr. Negro, for you don't know as much as I do; keep out of my way. So the quick and scheming brained Caucasian has put it farther—segregate the black and white in all public affairs—and a number of states have taken up the poison and completely disfrunished the Negro, for no other reason only, "he's black." And when told of these depotations, especially in the south, he will hide behind that flimsy garment, "Negro equality." Now, I want to say of these narrow minded, thin chested, poison blooded whites, who stand behind such a garment, no self-respecting Negro wants to or even dreams of entering your mansion as a tutor to your daughter. Nor does he want you. But well might I say the white women have held the honor of your blood, while you have amalgamated it with all nations of the earth. You can not deny this, for it shows on our streets every day. Now, the question I wish to ask is: If this race of mine is so disgraceful, loathsome and filthy, why don't you quit practicing deceit on your own womankind and let us alone? We love and cherish our women, and that is more than you can say, for you won't stay at home. It makes no difference how ladylike a Negro woman may be, she is humiliated by your when Harry A. Levy, assistant treasurer of the Lyric theater, was convicted of violating section 511 of the deceitful mankind. Yet in your homes you are love and candor. But let might fall; you have lodge and club business to attend, and if your ever dittiful womankind could follow you she would find you in the red light district of our cities, wrapped in the arms of a thing that any self-respecting colored man would not even call a woman. Now in conclusion, let me suggest a remedy. You scheming, designing white men stay at home, and our educated and professional men walk boldly to the halls of Congress and Legislatures of our states and cry in one loud voice: "All we ask of you is, give us a fair chance in this world. Give my people the right that the constitution of this nation gives them." For have you ever thought that the ever guiding hand of God is keeping a close grasp on all things in this world? And His ever seeing eye is on you, and that judgment awaits you at His Son Jesus Christ's feet, and that honesty and truth must win in the end. Yours for peace and harmony. JOSEPH G. BOWERS. TE. RILEY, NAN. A grand reception was given at General Schuler's quarters last Friday evening in honor of Miss Nettie Thomas of St. Louis, Mo, by Mr. Roby Robertson and Miss Mary Buckner.

Jones, Mr. Palm, Mr. Roy Robertson, Miss Mary Buckner, Miss Marie Burnside and Miss Nettie Thomas, the guest of honor. Jack Johnson's Marriage Not Property Recorded. Looking over the old dockets the clerks of the marriage license office here have discovered that John A. Johnson, better known as "Jack" Johnson, champion heavy weight fighter, received a marriage license on January 11, 1911, but no return ship had reached the office. The license was issued to Johnson and Litta H. Duryea, white, who gave her residence as Chicago. "Jack" Johnson, heavyweight pageant, tonight, confirmed the report that he had obtained a marriage license in Pittsburg and said that he he had married Etta Durya in Pittsburg shortly thereafter. Johnson said the marriage was open and legal and there could be no blame attached. Mrs. Johnson said tonight she had lived at Homstead, L. I., but would not discuss her former husband. Johnson said: "I married Mrs. Durya secretly. She had been divorced a year before. Mrs. Durya started the suit herself. I know nothing about her former husband. All I know is that she is my wife and who she was before that concerns no one but me."

Fred Miller Stonestreet, Jr., son of Fred M. and the late Mary Frances Stonestreet, was born in Topeka, September 9, 1883, being at the time of his death 28 years, 5 months and 4 days of age. He was called to a higher life Tuesday, February 13, at 12:35 p.m., after an illness of more than four weeks, of Bright's disease. Deceased was an obedient, devoted son, courteous, polite and a favorite among his friends. During the past eight years he was an employee of the Stonestreet & Guines undertaking establishment, six years of which he served as ambulance and also manager for his father, the senior member of the firm. It was here that he endeated himself in the hearts of a wide circle of friends. His sympathetic soul went out to those bereaved and the many favors granted to those poor in purse made Fred, as he was famarily called, a universal favorite. A week ago last Wednesday the deceased we visited by Mrs Clay. His request of her was to read the 91st and 21st Psalms. After soiling and giving a full explanation Mrs Clay a bed him if he had ever made a profession and he said "No," and then he repeated several lines, "I am going to do all I can." In the evening he requested his sister and cousin to pray with him. While sitting in a chair before breathing his last on Tuesday he called his brother Wilbur, but spoke not another word. His spirit had been wafted to its Maker. The deceased is survived by a father, a brother, Wilbur, two sisters, Daisy and Bernice, and a host of other relatives and friends, who deeply mourn for his untamed removal from the walks of men. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon at the First African Baptist church, Rev. J. E. Edwards, pastor A. M. E. church of Columbia Mo. conducting the services. The floral offerings were many and beautiful. Interment was in Topeka cemetery.
