The Colored People of Kansas and the Country Generally Have a Warm Spot In Their Hearts For United States Senator Chas, Curtis, There is one man in public life in Kansas who has always befriended the colored people of this state, and who has helped them whenever an opportunity presented itself. That man is United States Senator Chas. Curtis of Topeka, Kansas. In 1878 and 1879, when he was starting out in life and before he was of age, a large number of colored people came to Kansas. They made up what was known as "the colored exodus" to this state. Several thousand of them, poor and indigent, at that time arrived in Topeka. They had no homes to go to, and no place was provided for them. They were greatly in need of food and shelter. There being no place where they could stay, Mr. Curtis, seeing and appreciating their helpless condition, being in charge of a tract of land belonging to himself and sister, permitted them to go upon it, build log huts and make dugouts, where they could live with their families, and also permitted them to cut and use all the wood they needed. Later, when they desired to buy homes, he sold them lots on long time payments, which enabled a large number of them to secure permanent homes. After he was admitted to the bar, and while county attorney of Shawnee county, Senator Curtis was always glad to give advice to the colored people and to help them out of trouble. When he made the race for Congress he had the support of the colored voters in his district and when elected he showed his appreciation by securing at least nine places for colored men in Washington, and for two in Topeka. These men were paid wages at from $50.00 to $100 per month, and some of them are still holding their places. He would have secured more places for them, but the Civil Service was extended over them so they could not be appointed with a. as examination. He has always helped those colored men who have secured places in Washington under the Civil Service. The writer remembers the case of Eli Freeman, a colored man of Manhattan, Kansas, for whom Mr. Curtis secured a leave of absence so that he might return to Manhattan and take charge of the colored school of that city. In '93, when the Twenty-third Kansas was ordered mustered out, Mr. Curtis, at the request of the officers and enlisted men, went to Washington at his own expense and caused President McKinley to withdraw the order mustering them out and wire an order sending the 23rd Kansas to Cuba, where they did good service. These men have no one but Senator Curtis to thank for their being retained in the service and being allowed to do duty in Cuba. We know a large number of colored people, men and women, whom Mr. Curtis has assisted in their pension claims, and, in fact, he has always helped those who wrote to him in such cases. In the last Congress, when the Senate Committee reported and tried to pass a bill which might be construed to give the southern states the right to enact laws to disfranchise the colored voters, Senator Curtis and others opposed and defeated the amendment and the colored people of Kansas and the country read the speech of Mr. Curtis in their behalf with great interest and pleasure. All were proud of the great fight he made for them Senator Curtis, at the end of his first two years' service in the Senate, was placed on the Committee on Appropriations. This was a distinguished honor to the Senator and to the state of Kansas, and one that has come to Kansas but once before in her fifty years of statehood. On this committee Senator Curtis has rendered good service to the country, but we are writing of what he has done for the colored people and will limit this article to that field. We are glad to say that at the first session it was through his efforts that a new school building was given to the colored children of Washington, D. C., and liberal appropriations were made to maintain their schools in that city. The colored people and their papers there were full of praise and thanks to Mr. Curtis for the good work he did for our people. At the next session he introduced two bills which are of great interest to the colored people of the country. One of the bills provided for the use of the unclaimed freedmen's funds, which amounted to several thousand dollars, in the erection of a home for aged and homeless colored people. The other bill provided for the payment to the heirs certain unclaimed money that was recovered for said freedmen, but which had not been paid, because no authority for such payment existed. These two measures were just and fair and the colored people interested in them were sure that Senator Curtis did all he could to help secure favorable action upon them. The large newspapers have had much to say in favor of these measures and have praised Senator Curtis for his efforts in that direction. In the last Congress Senator Curtis passed through the Senate a bill, which, if the House agrees to, will be a blessing to the poor people in Washington, both white and colored, that is, the bill known as the "Loan Shark Bill," which will prevent the loan sharks of Washington from charging exhorbitant rates of interest on small loans. Senator Curtis showed that the loan sharks were JOHN B. HON.CYRUS GUTHRIE. Candidate for Representative. charging as high as three hundred and sixty per cent, on small loans. In another matter Senator Curtis showed his friendship for the colored people, and that was when the gallant soldiers of the 24th and 25th infantry regiments were kicked out of the service without honor. At the request of the editor of The Plaindealer, Mr Nick Chiles, and others, the Senator visited President Roosevelt and requested that the case be held up until the troops were given opportunity to be heard. The Senator also asked the Secretary of War, Mr. Taft, who was at Ft. Leavenworth a day or two after the order was issued, to have the order held up until the colored troops could present their case. In this, and in other matters, Mr Curtis has demonstrated his friendship for the colored people. The above is but a short review of the splendid work done by Senator Curtis in behalf of the colored people, and we here in Topeka, know how many of our people he has helped when they were in need. We are all proud of his great work and thankful to him for all he has accomplished, and know that our people will unanimously show their appreciation of his good work when they go to the ballot-box at the primary election, August 6th, 1912. Harry Thaw has read a little law since his incarceration in the bughouse, and he now imagines that he is the greatest expounder of Blackstone on earth. This mania seems to affect another New Yorker who inhabits Oyster Bay, and this sage has the hallucination that he is the greatest man living. It's too bad! TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JUNE 28, 1912. Chicago Convention! Editor Chiles Takes in the Big Meeting and Gives a Graphic Account of the Great Work Accomplished. We were at Chicago last week and served as Assistant Sergeant-at-Arms at the National Convention. There were over two thousand of them including door keepers and ushers. This was one of the greatest in the history of the Republican party. Over twenty thousand people within the coliseum and that many more on the outside clamoring to get in. Tickets for the sessions sold as high as one hundred dollars. The scene was great. The mass of human souls emassed looked like a solid wall of rough ashler and some of them were gough. There is no use guessing about it, most all of the brain of this world is in the Republican party. It was a pleasure to see the giants of each faction measuring their ability against each other and to hear and see the applaudits from their different clans and admirers. There was Gov. Hadley, Missouri; Gov. Johnson, California; Heney, Prisco; McCormick, Chicago and a few other lesser lights battling for Roosevelt, whilst on the other hand there were Watson, Indiana; Sereno Payne, New York; Barnes, New York for the Taft side. The clash came as soon as the Priest had finished his last sentence of prayer. Victor Rosewater, chairman of the National committee, announced Mr. Root of New York, the choice of the committee for temporary chairman. Everybody was at high temperature. Hadley sprang to his feet of objection to the committee's power to do such. Watson, the lion of Indiana, was to his feet the people yelling—all in a uproar. Victor Rosewater was equal to the occasion. He gave each side twenty minutes to present their cause. Governors Johnson and Hadley opened up their guns denouncing the methods and power of the National committee, quoting Senator Hoat and others as far back as '61, when Payne, Watson and a New York delegate opened up their 16-inch guns, using the same powder that Hadley and his crowd used. They showed Hadley that he did not know how to use it. Hadley's guns were silenced so quickly and easily that he sat down all flattened out, and before the crowd knew what had happened. Rosewater had declared the motion out of order and one of LaFollette's delegates was placing McGovern in nomination for temporary chairman. Hadley faintly second the nomination and was carried to the Roosevelt hospital for repairs. Root was elected, thus winning the first battle for Taft. He took hold of the roars and held them from thereon until adjournment on Saturday night. He was the master of the situation and ruled with firmness, dignity and honor. Being a pathimentarian he knew what to say and do at all times. When once the Taft forces began to bombard the Roosevelt forces they kept them on the run the entire time—sometimes they became boisterous and unruly and acted like children or mad men. That made no difference the brain and good judgment was on the Taft side and every move they made counted; every content rained and settled by the National committee was sustained by the convention. D. W. Mulvane of Kansas is certainly true blue. He kept the lines taut at every stage of the game and Kansas should be proud of him. This talk about stealing delegates is all bush. The Roosevelt committee voted with the Taft men to seat Taft delegates, both in the National committee and credential committee. Roosevelt was caught with the goods on. After the Taft delegates in most of the Southern states had been elected a henchman of Roosevelt went out and organized rump convention and elected delegates to contest the regulars and spent considerable money to accomplish this. All of this was before the committee. They tried this in Indiana and Kentucky and the committee knocked them out. At every stage of the game it was Roosevelt's crowd who was doing the stealing and cried theft on the other fellow. Taft was honestly, fairly and justly nominated and will receive the votes of those who believe in fair play. We were within fifty feet of Roosevelt when he made his memorable entrance into Chicago Saturday before the convention, with brass band, the glaring of trumpets, the waving of his hat is in the ring, the knashing of his teeth made his followers believe he could do all things and that the committee would be compelled to reverse themselves and seat the Roosevelt delegates—in other words the second Christ of the United States had come to raise hell and cast out honest delegates. Unlike the first his coming only made the men the more determined in consequence of his foolish acts. He was brought down in the freight elevator in the alley of the Congress hotel, after the nomination on Saturday night all flattened out, disheartened, and sick. Note the contrast—A week before, entering on the front, going up in the passenger elevator, thousands cheering his foolish and mad career. Knocked out beaten, tattered and torn he hied away to a hall to proclaim to the world a new party to follow him further in a foolish flight into utter darkness. No safe and sound man can afford to listen to him much less following him. His benchman tried to buy the same delegates which they claim was fraudulently seated. Affidavits were made as to this fact. If he could have bought up the colored delegates he would not have said a word. They tried and did buy five or six and the same of whites. He did this four years ago when he was for Taft. He perished by his own sword, now let him rest at Oyster Bay and converse with the ghost of Napoleon and Grant, who also thirst for too much power. In the Political Field! Some of the Men in the Limelight For Political Favor of Voters. ARTHUR M. ALLISON, Candidate for Clerk of the Court of Jouka. Arthur M. Allison who announces himself a candidate for clerk of the court of Topka is well known to everybody.

He is an honest, hard working man and asks the support of all, having supported others for office for years and never hold one himself. He thinks turn about is fair play. Samuel U.

Mr. Kiene is a married man and has a splendid wife and family. HON. J. L.

To get, the members of the class received their diplomas of chil- fety by their audacious work they received I have last few half good, half sad commencement days in which the sense of satisfaction of having finished honorably and credibly the Normal course is balanced by the consciousness that after a few days the pleasant combination of college chums, college sweethearts, college rivalries will have resolved, leaving in its place only a mixed and lightful memory. So indeed was the last hour of having dear Old Lincoln, when the young man stood on the steps of their counter, their voices filled with emotion, singing "Good Bye Ladies, We are going to have you now."

Any man who claims to be a Republican and seeks support from the Democrats is a fraud and couldn't be honest if paid to be, no matter how hard he might try. There is much talk of a new party but no excuse exists for such. The insurgents are good enough to be Populists who will be thankful for their company and help. We don't know whether Roosevelt is drunk, crazy or dopy, but it is a fortune conclusion that he is off in the running gear. He doesn't seem to realize that he is a lack number. Gov. Stubbs seems to be the only Kansan left who is crazy over the antics of Roosevelt. He seems to want to die politically, and he certainly couldn't have chosen a better way for suicide. The talk of Bryan and Roosevelt hitching up together is too ridiculous for consideration. Roosevelt would not accept second place, and Mr. Bryan would be too generous to allow Mr. Roosevelt to worry over the honors of first place. It seems to man up a tree that Gov. Stubbs has forfeited his right to claim a place on the primary ballot as a Republican. He is either a Republican, standing by the Republican party platform and its candidates, Faft and Sherman, or he is not a Republican at all, no matter what are his claims, and if Stubbs is allowed to run as a Republican, then any old thing can have that right. We challenge the right. The follows who style themselves Republicans and favor Roosevelt as against Taft had better come out in the open and join forces with the Democratic party. They are willing to cut off their noses to spite their faces. After supporting a "lame duck" in November, thereby defeating their own party candidate, they will go around with a sickly grin on their disfigured faces saying: "I told you so." They will be down and out and misery enjoys the discomforts of others. The Kansas City Journal pays its respects to Kansans as follows: Victor Murdock. "Victor Murdock said to J. W. Gloed and others at San Antonio; 'Rosevelt is a damned faker;' and yet he considered it a 'progressive' act to go to Chicago and howl himself house for Rosevelt. If he does not wish to progress out of congress he had better turn his hand to trying to solidify the party in Kansas." Arthur Camper. "If Arthur Capper of the Topkai Capital had followed the advice of his old father-in-law, Governor Crawford, and a lot more of his size old friends who helped to make him what he is, his present assistant would have been avoided. He will be playing in big backwoods if this Rooseveltian faithlessness does not fly up and hit him in the eye by beating him for governor. He must do all in his power to unite the party for Taft as against all other nominees." Henry J. Allen. "Henry J. Allen of the Wichita Beacon will go to some hospital to have that Roosevelt nominating speech removed from his system. Before Henry went to Chicago he was advised by loving friends to suddenly see a great light and feel his aid to Taft. But he had a hail that ladly would win and so he went over and down. He will be remembered as a promising young man with not much against hiscept his strong weakness for being led away from the straight and narrow path of political virtue." "Uncle Cyrus Island & Ka-sa did not have his old-time back in climbing on the hard sand on He picked it & for a while and promptly climbed in a rock Stuhl and his old order to turn up on him, he out on the ice with all champions of the third We have insisted in a place that perhaps not hurt Uncle Cyrus come home and to meet the loss of hanging Stuhl's ride force in this way that be in store for some of his past transgressions." Verily, verily, we say unto you, ye must be born again, for these men of bolting proclivities can not eat enough "crow" in the next ten years to atone for their shortcomings in the part few weeks. We Are Conduicted for Telling the Truth. Well! well!! well! What do you think, the order formerly known as the "Two Jims Order" succeeded in fooling a usyj in Wyandottee last week, that we had maliciously labeled them by publishing false statements and convicted us; the penalty is either a fine or so many days in jail. We do not know what the court will do and am not worrying. We still stand where we did when first arrested, then the case was hung by the jury, after which we gave a report of the trial. For this they had another warrant issued before another court, the first case pending. We can't understand the action of the jury in this case and care less. We were charged with saying heware of the Two Jims order—a fake—askin game. The secretary don't keep the books, knows nothing of the internal working of the order, and that they are fleeing hard working people. Scott, there agent admitted that he took money for membership and never returned any of it. Dennis Hope testified that they beat him out of fifty dollars and proof was submitted by others of shady transactions with the company. The report shows that the Order can't pay the policies as they mature with their present method of doing business. We had proof and expect to prove it—the court would not allow us to give this proof. This order has been robbing some of their members every since it was organized. The court would not let us refer back more than two years, when Little Jim Guy and Groves have been connected or doing business for the order since its organization and are still with the company. We are starring where we always did on this matter and shall continue to tell the people to beware of them. Big Jim died and carried no life insurance in the order since his death we have to end it the "Little Jim Lonesome Order—Little Jim being left in full charge, surrounded by four ministers (three bishop and one Methodist) and two lawyers—now don't this look lonesome for the policy holders; therefore we say call it the Little Jim Lonesome Order. We hereby notify the public to beware their concern. Many a one has been flushed by this order, known as the Knights and Ladies of Protection. Since its organization some of the same people are with them now that were with them when it was organized, especially the treasurer and president who was the Attorney at one time. I shall take good time to show up their incompetence and the impossibility to master those policies, amounting to fifty-seven thousand dollars and only three hundred dollars in the treasury to pay such benefits and death claims. They shall not fool my people. "Go tell Pharach to let my people go"—Go tell those five ministers and two lawyers to let my late survive. Don't take those poor women and children's money, with no hope of reward. We shall train shot and shoot on this misguided but until they are put in such base. Men whose business qualifications can't be questioned and men whose honesty has not been questioned in counts of the entire orphans and widows. We will show up some of the heads of this court, who they are and what they have done along unhonorable acts with other people. From now on no quarters will be shown.

There are many preparations highly advertised to do the work, but it is probably your experience that none of them will really meet the claims of their manufacturers. There are many so-called hair restorers which are nothing more than harmful chemical dyes, which do not grow any hair, the only result being that they dyed the hair, having no permanency and often causing a streaky appearance. It has been the aim of the chemists for years to discover a preparation which would really grow hair and restore the color to gray or faded hair, but heretofore they have met with no success. Prof. Rembler now claims to have discovered a combination of harmless vegetable composition which is a Genuine Hair Restorer and will grow hair and does not contain any dye of any kind, but will positively restore the natural color and brilliancy to gray and faded hair. This is a very strong statement to make and if any chemist without the recognized ability and national reputation of Prof. Rembler were to make this claim we would be inclined to be skeptical as to its truth. It will be remembered by reader that are familiar with scientific discoveries that Prof. Rembler was the inventor of the ore fire process for gilding glass and also the Rembler Wireless Coherer. Any statement made by Prof. Rembler is entitled to consideration as he would not make any statements which were not true and would injure his established reputation. The Silaron Mfg. Co. of Pueblo, Colo., have purchased the exclusive American rights to manufacture Saginine, as they have named Prof Rembler's invention, after having made a six months' test of Saginre and thoroughly demonstrating that it would positively do the work.

This is the strongest offer ever made by any manufacturer and one they could not possible make if they did not know positively from experience that it would do exactly what the claim for it.

The C M charm will give their children's day exercises Sunday, June 30th Johnson County has just closed at Olathe, the county seat, perhaps the most successful Normal Institute in the history of the county. This up-to-date county is taking the lead in educational affairs and her teachers Miss Emma Skinner is in the last year of her second term as County Superintendent of schools, and under her strong and enthusiastic leadership, the teachers and schools of the county have experienced a decided advancement along all lines. A year or more ago the Legislature passed a law requiring an examination in agriculture as one of the requirements for securing a teacher's certificate. For some years previous to the enactment of this law, this requirement was left optional with the County Superintendents. Recognizing the advantage her teachers in the rural schools would have by a knowledge of the Elements of Agriculture, Miss Skinner wisely introduced the study of this important branch in all the schools of Johnson County, and included it as one of the requirements of her teachers in securing a certificate, thus leading the other counties of the State, and anticipating the action of the State Legislature by almost two years. Sapt C. M. Ware, formerly of the Olathe schools, but recently elected as Superintendent of the Wellington city schools, served as instructor in mathematics and grammar; Supt. A. W. Ault, of the Kingman schools, instructor in history and physiology; Supt. Gen A. Allen, Jr., of the Erie schools, instructor in orthography, methods and civics; Prof. H. E. Skinner, head of the science department in the Cherokee County High school, instructor in geography, agriculture and reading; Miss Della Van Amburgh, of the Kansas City schools and author of the Primer used in the Kansas schools, instructor in primary methods and model schools; Mrs. Mary L. Simmons, Professor of Home Economies in the Kansas State Agriculture College, instructor in domestic science and art; Prof. Melvin S Bushhong, for many years instructor in music in the Olathe City schools, had charge of music. The methods work done in the Model school, in charge of Miss Amburgh, proved of exceptional interest and profit to all, especially to our primary teachers. This model school was composed of twenty-four pupils between the ages of five and seventeen. In addition to her classwork, Miss Van Amburgh also gave a very interesting and profitable lecture on Reading. The work of Mrs. Simmons in the Domestic Source and Art Department was another outstanding tenure of the Normal. These important subjects are becoming deeply important in all our schools and the instruction given by Mrs. Simmons was of a high class and greatly appreciated by our teachers. At the close of the Normal, the teacher in this class reported a special experience that the grades obtained might result to their future credit, thus showing their interest and progressiveness. The W. R. C. and the G. A. R. co- mandate of Oatle united with the Institute in observing Flag Day, June 11th. As appropriate program was given in the large High. school Auditorium which was enjoyed by not only the full body of teachers but, also, a large number of other citizens of Oatle and surrounding country. June 17th H I Kort, of Manhattan lectured before a large gathering on "Views of Rome." On the closing day of the Normal, resolutions were unanimously passed prate-worthy of the administrations of State Supt Parrish and County Sapt Miss Skinner and the work of each of the instructors.
