THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER J. B. CONGRESSMAN DAN R. ANTHONY, Whose Triumph Over the Bull Moose is Very Gratifying to the People of the First District and the State at Large—He is One of the Ableest Men That Ever Represented Kansas in the Halls of Congress. Historical Society State House Circulation 9,000 Guaranteed Fourteenth Year. No. Now That the MADDEN DEFENDS RIGHTS OF THE COLORED SOLDIER. The attempt of Congressman Roddenbery, Democrat, from Georgia, to have the government create jimcrow soldiers' homes throughout the country for Afro-American veterans in an impassioned speech in congress last May was replied to in a masterly way by Congressman Martin B. Madden, Republican from Illinois. The house had under consideration at the time the conference report of the Sherwood pension bill (H. R. 24,-016), granting pensions and increase of pensions to certain soldiers and sailors of the civil war and certain widows and dependent children of soldiers and sailors of the said war. Mr. Roddenbery offered an amendment which provided that no pensions should be allowed inmates of national soldiers' homes unless whites and blacks are cared for in separate domiciles and grounds. Congressman Madden in his speech against the Roddenbery amendment said: I am astonished that any man on this floor would introduce such an amendment as this to a bill seeking to pay pensions to soldiers who served their country. I cannot sit here without saying a word in opposition to such an amendment. It ought not to be considered by the house for a moment. I hope with all my heart that every vote in the house will be cast against it. No men sought more bravely than the black men. They are entitled to their full share of credit for preserving the nation. You say their liberties were at stake? Yes, and so was the liberty of every other person in the land. Thank God the close of the war brought liberty to the North and to the south, to the whites and to the blacks, and that today we live in a land where slavery is no more, where every citizen is a sovereign. I grieve to see the gentleman from Georgia express such bitterness toward the Negro. He should be one of the colored man's ablest defenders. He should be advocating measures to help the Negro to help himself. The Afro-American has made wonderful progress, considering his lack of opportunity. He is a good citizen, a gallant soldier. He should be encouraged, not reviled. Who led the successful charge at El Caney at San Juan Hill? Was it not the colored man? Who questioned his color then? Did any one revile him? Not at all. All praised his valor; all applauded his interpidity. He is brave; he is fearless; he is easily led; he makes a good soldier; he is entitled to be honored no less than his white brother. The colored veteran soldier should receive the same tender care in his declining years that we are proud to accord to the white men who tendered equal service to the nation. We should C Can he Be a Moses or a Second Lincoln? J. know no color in printistering to the wants of those who gave their all in defense of the country. Gentleman, strike down the color line. Defeat the amenndment offered by the gentleman from Georgia and let the news spread into every home in this broad land of the free that congress will tolerate no discrimination in the treatment of the country's veteran soldiers on account of the color of their skin. The federal grand jury investigation of Jack Johnson, negro heavy weight pugilist, was expected to close today. Preparations had been made to release Lucille Cameron, the white girl who has been held in $25,000 bail as a witness. It is said that Miss Cameron's testimony that she came voluntarily from Minneapolis to Chicago will relieve the Negro of prosecution under the white slave act. Other cases are pending against Johnson in the municipal and federal courts, the latter on a charge of smuggling a peacel necklace into this country from France. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING NOVEMBER 8, 1912. Judge Thompson, the little giant, has felled the big sycamore of Douglas county. Mr. Stubbs is now at JOHN H. HARRIS liberty and can devote all of his time to the cause of the bull moose cause. We Republicans are amply able to man the old ship THE DEFEAT OF SMITH Living the Kansas City Journal; The Republicans of Kansas have had a chance to get at Walter Roscoe Stubbs and what they did to him is written in the returns in large letters. No political boss was ever more earnestly repudiated Stubbs' downfall really dates from his first term as governor, for his prestige has steadily declined until it has finally culminated in a thorough and unqualified defeat. In the last primary he received only 37,315 votes, running behind Capper 24,000 votes and 10,000 be hand the average Progressive vote, he lacked 1,216 of having as many votes as Senator Curtis had. When Stubbs just essayed to be dictator of the Republican party in Kansas, in 1901, that party had just polled a majority of 126,091 for the Republican nominee for the presidency in 1904 of Stubbs, this tremendous Republican majority dwindled to barely 10,000, which was Mr Stubbs' majority over Hodges. Today Kansas is in the Democratic column. This is the monument to Stubbs' "leadership" and statesmanship. At the opening of the recent campaign the Republicans of Kansas were cheated out of their party organization. They were robbed of an oppor- President-elect Wilson Has Chance to Bring Happiness to All. The people have decided that Gov. Woodrow Wilson is the man to bring about better results and he has the power to not only deliver the white race from the clutches of the dishonest trusts, but the black race from an inhuman and powerful race combine who are working to keep them from earning an honest living. The colored youth is barred from learning trades or working where they can earn a decent living. They are being lynched, burned and persecuted in the prejudiced courts of the Southland, and enslaved on convict farms and in penal institutions for mere trifles. Our women are outraged, poor schools in the rural districts, etc., in fact everything to humiliate them and keep them in poverty and ignorance. Now Mr. Wilson, we hope and pray that you have the courage and manhood to face the monster of greed and oppression to human success and throttle him for all time to come. The Colored Americans want a Moses and a second Abraham Lincoln and Mr. Wilson can be the man. He may as well come from the Democratic party as any other, all we desire is a chance like men of other races. We shall look to Mr. Wilson to deliver us. For years these wrongs have continued. The churches with their thousands of worshipers and ministers have sit with folded hands and offered no relief. Now a word and positive stand for right by Mr. Wilson will do much to bring about the desired results. We sincerely hope that Mr. Wilson's administration will be a success, that he will enjoy good health, and live up to the statement that he would carry his religion into the white house with him. We have confidence in Mr. Wilson and feel that the colored people will have nothing to fear at his hands. Can he be the Moses and the second Abraham Lincoln? tunity to vote for a Republican nominee for president. Through the action of Stubbs. White and the rest of the party betrayers, the Republican name and organization was usurped and disgraced Later, by the formation an activity of the Kansas Republican League, the Stubbs crowd was frightened into a belated restitution of the presidential electors. But the Republicans, of Kansas, felt that it was necessary to get rid of Stubbs, and the only way that could be done was to kill him politically. It required a great sacrifice, but the Republicans were willing to make it. It was with much reluctance that the loyal Republicans voted Kansas into the Democratic column, but they consider that the sacrifice was worth all it cost. Kansas has redeemed herself. She has turned out the treacherous bosses who stole the party name an machinery. She has by one firm stroke of patriotism killed off the Bull Moose dictators, and the Republican party in Kansas stands today cleansed and rejuvenated and ready to take back its own proper place at the next election. Practically every prominent Bull Hoose candidate in the state was beaten. The state was virtually wiped clean. And it was as glorious and valuable a Republican victory as has ever been recorded. WILLIAM HOWARD TAPL From the Kansas City Journal When the news came to the president in his brother's home in Cincinnati, that he had been defeated by an overwhelming popular vote for reelection, Mr. Taft expressed no personal disappointment nor was there a tinge of bitterness in his demotion. Although the victim of the most inexcusable political movement ever launched in this country against an honest and capable public official, the president voiced no complaint. But it was characteristic of the man that he should look far ahead and that he should analyze the conditions that encompassed his defeat. He spoke a grave warning against the rising tide of socialism expressed in the tremendous vote for Roosevelt and Debt, and pointed out the menace to constitutional government in the remarkable following of these two enemies of representative government. Time alone will bring about the full vindication of Wilma sulloward Taft. When the temporary conditions that caused the Roussevelt oelt shall have passed away and when the people themselves view dispassionately the work and public services of the president, he will come into his own and history will do him justice as one of the country's best and greatest presidents. And it will be brought to the realization of the sane and patriotic people of the nation that William J. H. CONGRESSMAN P. P. CAMPBELL, Another Young Stalwart Who Won a Glorious Victory Over the Bull Moose in the Third District—He is a HoldDefendant of the Rights of the People and Kansas Loves Him. Howard Taft represented the sound and honest principles of true statesmanship. That he was the victim of Roosevelt's vengeful spite and that the rough rider started out with the deliberate purpose of destroying his former friend, will only add to the luster of the Taft administration. When the time comes, as it surely will when the people shall have grown tired of demagogy and when they shall have realized the hollowness of the Bull Moose propaganda, President Taft will be remembered with profound respect and gratitude. And he or men like him will be called to the helm of state in times of storm and stress to bring back to the harbor of safety. President Taft came into office under unusual unbarrassments. All about him was scattered the wreckage of Roosevelt's disastrous administration. It was the first duty of the president to restore order and reestablish the ascendancy of law. He not only did this, but every year of his administration was marked with important and valuable accomplishments. He was a president big he Price $1.50 Per Year. yond ordinary comprehension. He did large things so quietly, with no much modesty that they did not impress the mob. He was a poor self-advertiser, and, following the spectacular Roosevelt, his quiet dignity was mistaken for weakness. Under his wise and efficient administration much more real progress was made than in the two terms of his predecessor, and the country has experienced unprecedented prosperity with him as its business head. He has left a noble record of achievements which will gain their rightful recognition as time goes on. J. HON. GEO. A. NEELEY, Congressman-elect, Seventh District. Cheered by that optimism that strengthens the heart and inhabits a purposeful mind, that God-implanted optimism that lights its way through the entangled labyrinth of difficulties, the Negro holds on his course toward the goal of highest attainment in all that counts for civic righteousness, intelligent and useful citizenship. He asks no special privileges or any kind other than those accorded to all men, even were such within his grasp for the asking. He reports, on the principle of self-reliance and self-respecting sufficiency and efficiency of his own study manhood, anything that would tend to put him in the humiliating light of being a recipient of condescending charity. He is, as a race, a manly man, and as such he is meeting now, as he has met and is going to ever meet, the trident pace of modern civilization and its complex activities, with fitting and dauntless integrity.

SANFORD W. KING, : : Proprietor --- Entered at the Postoffice to Topeka as Second Class Mail Matter. Fred S. Jackson, congressman of the Fourth district, and the biggest bull moose of the lot, was slaughtered with all the rest. Congressman Rees and Young of the Fifth and Sixth district have gone a glimmering to the land of forgetfulness up Salt River. They were aware, however, that their days were numbered when the rumbling of the earth was heard the night the Party Council did its famous stunt. Every true blue Republican in Kansas and every follower of Roosevelt should make a strenuous effort to arrange for a peaceful settlement of the differences that have made such a result as Tuesday's possible. Let's forget and forgive and dwell once more in our father's house in peace and harmony. 9 There will be more "lame ducks" in Washington after March 4 next than has been in sixteen years. The next president will have something over thirty millions of salaried patronage to dispense and the pie counter will be so crowded that the "lame ducks" will have hard pushing to wend their way out. Congressman Fred S. Jackson, one of the chiefs in the "Bull Moose" camp, not a gladiator's defeat in the Fourth district. He stood at Alma gaddin in battle a ray, but the wrath of the voters was too much for him to overcome and he died with 12 boots and spurs on. The most crushing bloody delivered was from Lyon county, the home of Bill A. White chief dictator for "host cause." Theodore Roosevelt is a sadder but wiser man today than he was two on three months ago. He had an idea in his noodle that he could so work on the prejudices of the Southern white people that by promising them to relieve them of the Negro question he would be accepted at face value as an example of truth and veracity, and that these people would break their necks in a mad scramble to confer upon him the honor of breaking the solid South, but if Roosevelt made any impression the reports so far fail to show it. The results, however, show the range of the solidity of this section is widened. THE REPUBLICAN LEAGUE. Much credit is due Hon. George A. Clark and Hon. J. S. Dean, managers of the Republican League in defeating Stubbs and the Bull Moose congressman. This should be a warning to all holders who seek office on party busses. Now it all loyal Republicans are for the party. I would up the party and let the Bull Moose go to themselves. In a Root can, Progressive on what we do in me, but don't try to trade two heirs. At the same. We are through with it, and his kind, now let us be happy. ALLEY SELF-DEFEND Hutchinson Man Wid. A man present Seventh District The election of Hutchinson in the Seventh district was flying indeed, and a swapping testimonial from the people that had moose nominees is not what they want. Mr. Nocley stand close to the people, and will ably represent the district and the state at large. He is a fine gentleman and scholar, and a colored people may post assured that he will always treat them squarely, and fight to give them the same chance accorded to men of other races. DEMOCRACY'S VICTORY The pendulum on the political show indicates that the great American people are desirous of a change of conditions in this country. It has now been eighteen years since the Democratic party surmounted the reign of government to the Republican party. At the beginning of the sixteen years mortgages were the most conspicuous objects in view and smokeless factories were everywhere, but the moment the news flashed over the land that McKinley was the new chosen tal. nation furnaces were fired at, the heat from those indicated to the land, resulting in the disappearance of mortgages and the gathering of the hosts of idle men and women into the workshops. The lesson learned at the expense of the common people should now be remembered by the Democrats and a repetition of the 1970 days avoided. There are new men at the helm of the Democratic ship of state and with these new men come new ideas, and the people who have expressed their willingness to abide in the actions of the Democratic party should be kept over in the forefront, and that party should labor to the end that the confidence of the people end in peace, happiness and prosperity. WISER TODAY. The "Bull Moose" papers, the day after election, came out with a sickly attempt to explain to the country why the chief "Bull Moose" did not to what he so boldly claimed, and they now admit that he had no hope from the beginning. They knew that he had not the slightest chance to win, but were too cowardly to admit it and calmly and maliciously deceived hundreds and thousands of voters into the belief that Roosevelt would sweep the country from end to end. But the sweeping came from another direction and many a man is visitor today than he was Monday. Of course Roosevelt's only aim in this campaign was to defeat President Faxt and in this he has done a good job and the leaders in the scheme are jubilant over their dastardly work, but when reaction sets in these cadets will cast the blame upon the people and many of them will never stop to think but what they are guilty as charged, but will wait for an opportunity to undo what they now have done through the deception practiced by the humbug, but we hope the democratic party will so conduct the affair of the nation that no evil will sit to the least among the real, a tale of the American people, be they rich or poor, white or black, not a sinner. MINISTER MUST PAY LIFE FOR ASSAULTING LITTLE GIRLS. Confesses to Assaulting Three Little Girls in Home of Which He Was Head—Sentenced to Die Five Days Before Christmas. Greenville, S. C., Oct. 12. Found guilty of criminally assaulting three little girls in the Old Fellow's home of which he was the head, Houston U. Vaughn, once prominent as a minister, will pay the penalty of his misdemeanors with his life. He was sentenced to die at the Columbus state penitentiary on December 20. The trial was brought to a sensational close when the accused man confessed. He named two other victims in addition to those for asult on whom he was indicted. The jury was out only four minutes, and made no recommendation for mercy. Tears streamed down the cheeks of Judge Perdy, who was named by Gov. Please as special judge in this case. Many of the jury, the court officials and the spectators alike made no pretense of hiding their tears as Vaughn, pale and broken, acknowledged the crime. Immediately after court opened today attorneys for both sides consulted which resulted in an agreement that Vaughn should confess, which might result in saving his life, and that the case should go to the jury without argument. "I have acted devilishly. I have acted shamefully," began Vaughn. "The devil tempted me. I have fallen." He pleaded eloquently, but in vain with the joy to save his life, not so much for his own sake, but for the sake of his wife and little daughter. Neither Mrs. Vaughn nor her daughter were in the court room today, though they had been with the accused since the trial opened. Vaughn was former assistant superintendent of the First Baptist Sunday school, one of the largest and most fashionable churches in this city. It was a ministerial student and freely occupied pulpits in and around the village. He was the owner of consider-ble property. MICHSON, KAN.

Feeds for laying hens in the fall should be of such a nature as to promote and aid molting and bring the fowls into a physical condition conducts to early laying. One of the principal feeds helpful to this end is oil meal, which tends to loosen the old feathers, put a gloss on the new ones and keep the birds healthy. A good molting ration will consist of three pounds of whole or cracked corn, two pounds of wheat, one half pound of beef scraps, one half pound of linseed meal and one pound of clover or alfalfa meal. This is sufficient grain for 100 pounds live weight of fowls per day. With this should be given in separate boxes an abundance of grit, oyster shell, charcoal and clean fresh water. Mangels may be given to supply a further amount of succulent food if necessary. The birds should be given ample yard room and compelled to take plenty of exercise. Scattering grain in the litter in the morning, which necessitates the birds scratching for their meal, will serve as a valuable aid. The custom of giving the birds a wet mash in the morning has now gone completely out of vogue, and with good reason. The consensus of opinion at the present time is that the dry mash is much more desirable. Dry mash fed in hoppers can be handled more easily and at less expense than the wet mash. A dry mash that will give good results is composed of the following: Wheat brand, two parts by weight; middlings, one part by weight; corn meal, one part by weight; linseed meal, one part by weight; alfalfa or clover meal, one part by weight; beef scraps, one part by weight This should be placed in a hopper and kept before the birds all the time. Where the dry mash is provided whole or cracked corn and wheat should be fed in the litter in the morning and at noon. Cleanliness in the poultry house is at all times important, but especially so during the fall and winter, when the fowls are unable to obtain free range The dropping boards should be cleaned frequently and fresh litter supplied A great factor in establishing sanitary conditions is the application of white wash STORAGE OF CELERY. Trench Method is One Way of Preserving This Vegetable. There are many ways of storing celery. Some of the large growers pack in the field, use large crates and send direct to city storage houses. Others have special storage houses on the farm to hold the crop may be held until midwinter or even later. Pits are often used by growers who do not make a specialty of this crop. One of the most successful plans is to store in troughs. Storage may begin after the middle of October and the work should be completed before there is hard flowing weather. In most sections of the north the crop should be stored before the 10th or 15th of November. The trenches should be about a foot wide and deep enough to receive the plants so that the tops will protrude not more than two or three inches above the top of the trench. The plants are moved to the trenches as promptly as possible after lifting, stood erect and placed as close together as the roots will permit. Some loose soil about the roots in the trench improves conditions for satisfactory storage. The tops should be free from dew or rain when trenched. Boards which were used in blanching the early crop are nailed together into troughs and placed over the trenched plants to protect them from cold and rain. On warm days slones or blocks should be placed under the boards to provide ventilation. As the weather becomes colder in moisture, straw or even soil should be thrown over the boards to furnish additional protection. The drainage around the trenches must be good to prevent loss from decay of the stalks-National Stockman and Farmer The farmer may not get rich quick, but when he does get rich he gets rich right Warm Water For the Hene.

The device consists of a part of a barrel inverted and set over the fountain and a tubular lantern.

Barnyard manure is, in general, the best fertilizer for the orchard. It should be applied at the rate of a load to from three to five trees, at least once in three years. The use of commercial fertilizers is hardly advisable, except where careful experiment has demonstrated its value.
