Tells of the Beauty and Grandeur of the Metropolis of the French Republic—Going to London and to the Philippine Islands. Paris, France, Dec. 12, 1919 Editor Plaindealer: Since so many of my friends have requested me to write another letter to the paper, I again ask you for a bit of your most valuable space. We left Bimc, Oct. 11th, the place where the readers of The Plaindealer last heard from me. I had only been there two weeks, but not long enough to become so familiar with the At- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JANUARY 3, 1913. lantle Ocean as to go in swimming as everyone else did when the tides came in, but I soon mustered up courage and went in with a French maid. I was a little nervous at first. The tide took me up and down, and it was delightful after the first time. The tides come in twice each day and as I watched them, I thought of how everything in nature obeyed God better than mankind. The tides have performed their duties since God created the ocean and gave them their work to do, and they do it the same now as when first given the commandment. Blackberries and strawberries did not get ripe until the last of Sept. and the 1st of Oct. When I saw people who were lame and some on crutches that had come a great way to get that salt water to be healed, I thought much about when Jesus was on earth how the sick and all manner of diseased people came to Him to be healed.. I saw many fig trees full of fruit. We were glad to get back to Paris after two months on the beach. I will never be able to describe this lovely city. I can only express my thoughts on what I have seen. The city is about seven miles long and five miles wide. The Seine flows through it for a distance of seven miles. I have seen TOO much to tell the readers of The Plaindealer even one-half. I will only mention some of the many things. November 2nd Lieutenant Montgomery took me with a party of about 300 through the Catacombs under the city where the bones of six million people was placed in walls like brick. Lieutenant and Mrs. Montgomery have been very, very, kind to me. They take me to all of the places of importance. In Jordin des Plantes on 200 garden, is a cedar of Lebanon. I got a piece of the bark. Bois de Boulogne, a park covers 2,200 acres. Place de La Concorde is considered one of the finest sights in Europe. The obelisk of Luxor is in the center. It is a monolith, of granite seventy-five feet high. On either sides are beautiful fountains and along the sides of the place are statues representing the chief cities of France. That of Strasbourg is erected in mourning and cut flowers, the year round because the Germans took it away from France. We spent four weeks in a beautiful little town, Chantilly. I enjoyed my stay there fine. I attended an English M. H. church (white) every Sunday and they were nice to me indeed. The minister came the first Sunday I attended the church and introduced himself and gave me a cordial welcome among them. I took part in the Sunday school and church services. Everything is classified in France; first second and third class—even in marriages. The first-class marriages have a fine place to be married in the city hall of Paris. Marriage hall in this building is a beautiful room. The third class go in the back door and stand upon the steps to be married. Children in France are a legend. The beauty of Paris is not due merely to its well cut streets and its monuments, but also its sky, its atmosphere, its sky has tones of infinite delitacy and variety; it is never too low nor too high. One afternoon I was sitting in the Tuileries looking at the beautiful view of are de Triomphe at the end of the avenue des champ Elysees with the setting sun adding its glory to the scene. I thought how wonderful was the people of old, to plan such a great city. We leave Paris this afternoon for London from there go to the Philippine, Islands. Any one wishing to write me can address their letters to Fort McKinley, P. J. care of Capt. Fitzhue Lee. When I return home if it is the Lord's will, I shall have been around the world. I am enjoying good health and and learning to speak French fine. The Lord is preparing me for a great work in His cause. When I cross the Red Sea and the River of Jordan, I shall feel that I am nearing my heavenly home. Well can I say I have learned where to sit down. GIRLS IN HIGH SCHOOL. "A truly remarkable record" is the way Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States Commisioner of Education character to the work of S. H. Edmund, president of schools at Sumpto South Carolina, in keeping the boys and girls in high school. And figures presented by Mr. Eyre and showed that comparatively well by the way in Sumpto school system. There are 63 pupils in it, in high school, of 60 in the fourth year, 60 in the third, and 55 in the fourth year. Last year 63 graduated from high school and 10 went to college, an almost unprecedented proportion in a public high school. The work of these boys and girls in college is highly commended by President D. B. Mitchell, of the University of South Carolina, and President D. B. Johnson, of the Winthrop Normal and Industrial Institute, both of whom declare that the Sumter pupils were notably well prepared. Dr. Mitchell says that Mr. Edmunds has effectively answered the question "How to hold boys in high school." The superintendent himself mentions a number of points that seem to him to account for the enviable figures. In fact the first place, he cites the fact that in his system boys and girls are educated separately from the sixth grade up, making it possible to apply education more directly to the special needs of each sex. Again, he points to his military company of grammar and high school boys, in charge of a regularly employed commandant, as another feature that proves attractive. More fundamental from the educational point of view than either of these is the insistence by the superintendent that each pupil shall realize that he is an individual, not not a mere og in the machine. Thus a valuable sense of personal pride is developed, which leads to a desire for more and more education. At a further incentive for the pupil to remain until the end of the course, graduation from high school is made an important event in the student's career. Although giving due weight to these explanations, educators who have investigated the conditions believe there is a deeper reason for the presence of so many pupils in the Sumter high schools. According to Prof Hard, the State High school inspector of South Carolina, the real reason to be found in the conditional relation that exists between Superintendent Edmunds and girls in his system Whatever the exact explanation, it seems in keeping boys and girls at Norton is an unusual one in American high schools, and demon- tates what can be done even with the ordinary curriculum in a school where an orthodox superintendent tuts his whole soul into the task of education and inspires an entire community with some of his own feerv. HARRIS TO LIBERIA? The following editorial appeared in The Kansas City Journal of December 19th. "I. Silas Harris of this city, President of the Negro National Educational Congress, is being urged for the position of minister resident and counsel general to Liberia. Without in the least denying the qualifications or prejudice the claims of any other men suggested for this responsible place, it may be observed that Mr. Harris represents the very best type of American Negro. He has agent a quarter of a century in the schools of Kansas City and has tendered efficient service in that capacity. During all this time he has stood for the best interests ofistance. He has contended that those interests can be advanced most effectively by the elevation of the standard of citizenship by the Negro themselves and not by any of the objectionable "mixtures" which some "leaders" favor. He believes that the Negro has a definite and distinct place and that he should stay in that place, working out his own salvation by proving himself worthy of the assistance of the whites. "Mr. Harris has made himself enemies among the disreputables of his own race, and apparently among those who have it in their power to reward in adequate measure the services which he has read real in his professional capacity. Elevator to a political office would remove him from a sphere in which, though an humbler one, he is effectively serving his race and the community. He is presentation would be a significant landmark among the battle of of Amherst Negroes HUTCHISON, KANSAS. Christmas festivities were obeyed in a very fitting manner at all of the churches in accordance with the annual custom. On Christmas live, at the Second Baptist church, a very beautiful and interesting program was rendered and many gifts were received from the miniature house which was the feature of the evening. At the A. M. H. church an excellent program was rendered, and Mrs M. A. Tyler, the superintendent of the Sunday school is much to be commended for her artistic taste. The church was beautifully decorated in red and green and the presents were given from a tree. Behind the tree was a ladder leading up to a star behind which was a reflector. Each Sunday school scholar was given a present and all declared it to be a Christmas much to be remembered. The Grant Art club was delightfully entertained this week by Mrs. G. W. Allison. It being a pleasant day, all members were present, after the regular routine of business, a delicious menu was served and the club adjourned to meet with Mrs. Johnson next week. The revival meetings closed with much success. Mrs. W. D. Holmes, of Kansas City spent the holidays with relatives. Mr. G. W. Bradford left for a few days visit with friends in Kansas City and Coffeyville. Dr. G. W. Alhson went to Topeka where he attended the meeting of the Interstate Literary association. Mr. Marcus Tucker, a K. U. student spent the holidays with his parents. Miss Pearl McWilliams was hostess to a dancing party at Broadus hall Friday evening. ALLEGED RAIDERS ARRESTED! Four Georgians Charged With Assault Disguised as Negroes. Dalton, Ga. Manlytown, a small settlement in the western part of the city, was again invaded by men disguised as Negro women recently. On John Grant's claim to have recognized them warrants were issued against Joe Massey, Bill Goff, Pink Miller and Ben Staton, all of North Dalton, and they were arrested. The men succeeded in throwing the people into terror. They kicked in the door at one place and attacked two women. At the name of John Grant they sat for some time before a fire and talked with him. He is willing to swear to their identity. The four men are alleged to have been members of the masked band that whipped Johnny Watkins, a half breed, last Friday morning. (No doubt several other crimes have been committed by this very band of blacked face scoundrels, and charging their dastardly acts to some Negro whom they dishiked, assisted in lynching him.—Ed.) NIGHTRIDERS IN GEORGIA! Northern Georgia Scene of Nightly Outraages and Lynching Mobs! Gamestville, Ga., Dec. 28. Gov. Jos. Brown, of Georgia, has been appealed to by hundreds of the leading citizens of this part of the state to call out the militia and stop the reign of terror, anarchy and race riots, in this section. Nightly an organization of whites, all of whose members are known to the authorities and who imitate scarcely less fiercely the brutal race persecution of the Ku Klux Clan here, has set for its task to drive the colored people out of the northern part of the state. They have met with such success that all of the colored people have left several small towns, and the property owners, planters, and business and professional people are entirely without help. While there have been numerous reports of alleged attacks on women, they seem either the criminal inventions of local newspapers, on the frightened fear of hysterical women. The movement has been in progress two months, and originally started over some street lights and the alleged murder of a planter by colored men. The crusade is being conducted by bands of mounted men, who ride through the country after dark and leave notice at the homes of all, colored men, warning them to leave before sundown next day. Disobedience is followed the next night by flogging and other maltreatment. If there is resistance the offenders are shot. All are escorted out of the country when necessary. GUTHRIE, OKLAHOMA.

E. church gave a sacred musical concert on Friday evening, Dec. 27th, at the church. The concert was well attended and a neat sum was netted from the free will offerings. The opening address was by Rev. R. D Frazier, the closing address by Mr. Lewis N. Grimes. The stage and characters were managed by Mrs. Katie Levell, the music by Miss Pearl Smith. Compliments were that it was the best concert which had been in Ellsworth for quite a number of years. MAPLE HILL, KANSAS. MAPLE HILL, KANSAS.

Bristow. Not because he is a Republican or a Bull Mooser, whichever he may be two years hence but because he has stood for the things in which we believe in national politics, For four years Mr. Bristow has fought in the Senate, courage: ously, and in & non-partisan way for the best things demanded in both the Republican and the Democratic plat- oftms.” (This editoral appeared in the Ft, Scott Tribune some ten days ago. It has had time te xo to Washington and be returned by Senatur Bristow with orders to run it in the Journal and presumably that is what happun- ed) This the Senator endorses the statement that he has been non par- tisan since he entered the Senate. Now it is all right for the It. Scott Tnbune to support the Seniter an the ground that he bas been non-par- tinan, for the Thbune is a aon-partt- San paper, Hut we submit that Sen- ator Bristow way elected ay a Repub- Jiean, He made hie campaign ay a Republican and as such was pum nated und elected Hag he stated during his tanvasy that he would not uetowith the Republicans in the Sen- ute it is sufe to ray that Senator Long would have beaten him vo badly that the ,Bristow vote would have been clusseg as “scattering.” Senator Bristow was cent to the United Statey Senate to iprerent the political views of the Republi- cans of Kansus, not to represent such independents as the editor of the Ft. Scott Tribune. If st was his intention dunng his campaign to desert the party ofter he was elected then he obtained the office under fale pre- teme, If he changed his mind after he xot to Washingtun, then, as an honest man he ought to have resigned and permitted the ection of a Republican, That he has not represented the Repubhvang who elected him, but has Kone counter to the judgment of the party he confesses tn this publiation, And tt has not needed this confession to convince the people of the state that he has acted outside the party. He has done all in his power to in jure the party and ha, no claim upon at he should be a candidate two years hence it should be understoud durnyg the campaign that he eannot be depended upon to stay by the par- $y that clects hum, Tle will place bis Judzment above that of the majority of tle party.

T. P. MARTIN, Administrator. First Published Jan. 3, 1913. Reaj the Plaindealer and be wise. WELL REMEMBERED! Mrs. Lucy Radford-Payne, residing at 1329 N. Jefferson street, was the happiest woman in Topeka last week when the express wagon drove up and left her a twenty-five pound turkey. This treat came all the way from Lexington, Kentucky, and was the gift of her brother, Mr. Oscar Coleman. The bird was dressed and all ready for the oven when delivered and it was a fine specimen. Such a fine one was it that many of the neighbors, and even the postman and several of his friends came over to survey the product of the Blue Grass state. Mrs. Payne has not seen her brother in twenty years and words could not express her appreciation. Mrs. Payne has not been in the best of health for several months, but the day the turkey was ready for the table she was buoyed up over the thoughts of the gift and the giver that she felt real well. Mr. Payne was injured about the head in a fall on the ice last winter and is yet confined in the state hospital and this fact distracted much from the happiness that would otherwise dwelt in the Payne home. But the angel of peace and good will was there all the same. THE APEX THEATRE The citizens of Topka, especially those of color are showing their appreciation of the opening of the "Apes," a moving picture and vaudeville theatre at 312 Kansas avenue by crowding the house at every performance. The popular price of five cents is in reach of everybody, and the patrons are given five times the value of their money. Old young married and single are giving line nettes, and everyone who has a few leisure moments to spare spends their time at the Apes, and colored people caught purchasing "Crow" at white theatres when they have one of their own as good as any in the city should be ostracised or given a good sound clubbing. It is neat, modern and up-to-now in every respect. The pictures are the best that money can obtain. We also note that many of our white brethren, who appreciate something nice, clean and wholesome are attending this play house, and now it is the duty of each and all of us to get busy and boost this most laudable enterprise. The gentlemen interested in the promotion of the enterprise are: Mr. K. K. Pinkston, Mr. J. M. Wright, Mr. Martin Ogclissie, Mr. H. O. Abbott, Mr. U. A. Graham, and Mr. Frank R. Wilson. That wood at the Cash Coal Co's yard is the best ever. Call'em up and let them quote you a price that you think impossible and stay in business. They're doing it just the same. NOTICE! NOTICE!

The weight of her seventy-six years, superinduced by other complication, were too much for her fobile body and she seemed to the inevitable. She was a native of Kentucky, coming to Kansas some forty years ago, where she has since resided. Mrs. Boston was one of those grand old ladies; a conscientious Christian, loving mother and a faithful friend. She is survived by eleven sons and daughters, several grand children and many warm personal friends. Funeral will be held from the C. M. E. church of which she has been a faithful member since coming to Kansas forty years ago. Peace to her ashes.

They were then ushered up the rear winding stairs into the hall where a large mammoth cut glass punch bowl was sitting on a table and they were served with punch to their heart's content by handsome young ladies and then down the front stairs into the hall. After 7 o'clock p.m., when the visitors and callers had completed, the club members rallied around and had a most royal jollification for the remainder of the evening.

In these times of high prices it be booze us to manage in every way to reduce the cost of living, and yet be well supplied with plenty of whole home and nutritious food. Now, cheese will in a measure supply the place of meat, and if made in the home on the farm will not but little in comparison with meat. Any one having sufficient cows to obtain five or six gallons of milk in the morning or part evening's milk can be used providing it is per斤甜 sweet, can make deliions cheese, and if a part of evening's milk is used it may as well be skimmed, as that cream is likely to be lost. The often still needed can be found in any farm house. Take six gallons of milk, heat to 45 degrees in a clean wash boiler, remove from the stove and add one half of a rennet tablet, previously dissolved in half a cupful of warm water. Also add a little cheese coloring. A very little will answer, for one does not want cheese too highly colored.

NEW CORN FOR PIGS: Useful Fattening Feed Added to the Ration Gradually. With proper judgment considerable use can be made of new corn in fattening the cattle pigs, says the Kansas Farmer. As the pastures begin to grow short new corn that is beginning to dent may be cut and given to the pigs. Care must be taken that they be some accustomed to this new corn radically. By cutting the new corn, stalk and all, a considerable portion of the green leaves and diner parts will be eaten. As the corn becomes more mature and the ration increases the hogs will cut less and less of the fodder until they are on practically a full feed of corn. It is seldom profitable to fatten hogs on a full ration of corn alone in a dry lot. They will cease to thrive and will not eat as large a ration as is desired. The balan el ration will yield the largest gains and almost invariably the cheapest gains. All of its pasture or good, height of its hay of the fourth or fifth cutting supplied to fattening hogs will be very efficient and economical means of balancing the corn ration. It supplies the protein, which is deficient in corn, and gives variety to the ration hay beans, where available, will serve the same purpose, given as a sixth part of the ration. Any feed if rich in digestible pro- tein, may be used with profit unless too high in price. The latest feeding stuff to be used for this purpose is the packing house by product called "tank- age" or "most meal". This highly at rogenous product, while high in price, is so rich in protein that only a small mount is required. It has been successfully and profitably fed by so many experiment stations and prac- tical men that there can be no doubt to its value. In a fattening hog of 150 pounds, weight one half pound of tankage daily is sufficient. Care must be taken that there is suf- ficient trough from for which hog to re- ceive its proper allowance. While corn is the chief grain for fat- ening hogs almost any of the cereals may be used. Kaffir corn is very simi- lar in composition and if ground and properly balanced gives results very hearly as good as corn. Wheat is fully the equal or one pound for pound in fact, hogs will be better on wheat long than on corn alone. When wheat is about the same price per pound as corn or only a little higher it will may to use it. Turley is not relished unto well by hogs as corn, but can be used as a fattening grain. For breeding stock it is better than corn bottomseeded although one of our chest feeds, is never safe for hogs far as we know at present. It may be fed for limited purposes and in small quantities with good results. Swine Succumb to Sunstroke Swine should be treated plenty of green food in order to keep their digestive acts in the best condition. They should be supplied with plenty of pure water and in abundance of shade and a sanitary wellowing place. If hogs are extremely susceptible to sunstroke, as they cannot perme lessly and have their body temperatures are reduced by the evaporation of the empirapation as in the barn. An ex- cellent plan is to temporarily awaken the hogs' bodies with water to keep them hot. A bug prostrated by the heat should be cooyed up a steady place, there cool water should be poured on the head and neck, but not over the out of the body. The amount of milk produced by a cow will depend upon the amount of water she drinks, not entirely of course, but it depends on reason that the cow cannot give milk unless she has plenty of water to drink. Now, if this water is warm, like that standing in a pool or a water trough, she will not like it as well and will not drink enough of it. As a consequence her milk now will fall away. Fresh, cool water is necessary for the milk cow and it costs money not to provide it with it. Ring the Cull Calves Every bull will reaches a stage at one year or age after which he will be usable to handle with a halter from that time on a ring and snap be in of a beer breed and a staff if a dairy breed will be the only means by which he can be handled safely. SILO WISDOM. Observe These Points and Get the Best Results From Your Labor. The best point about a silo is that it must be an air tight receptacle. A cement silo should always be pitched with tar or printed on the inside with some air tight material before filling. The sole reason for building the silo is that it is the most economical way of storing a succulent feed. We can store three trees as much dry matter in a silo per square foot as we can in a barnrow. The theory of silage is that sugar, protein, ele turn to lactate acid by fermentation. That is generated, from 100 to 175 degrees which kills off all germ life, or, rather, the germ life kills of itself. The longer this heat is maintained the better the silage. Around the outside the temperature is frequent by low Cypress wood and cement allow a little absorption, dry silage a little on the outside and provide for fermentation. Forty pounds per cubic foot is about the right weight for silage. It is principally uniform all the way down. The most expensive place to build a shed is inside a barn. It may be desirable for convenience, however, but it takes up a valuable space that can be used for storing grain or sheltering animals. Silage must be cut fine. The finer it is cut the better it will pack and the better it will be. A quarter of an inch is about the right length, and a half inch is the built at which silage ought to be cut. What you lose in cutting you gain in labor in the pit.—Farm Press CHICKENS' MEAL BOX. Directions For Making a Self Feeding Hopper That Works Well. A self feeding hopper may be made from a box purchased at the grocery store. A box sixteen inches deep, two feet wide and two and one half feet long will make a very good hopper. The bottom of the box should form the back of the hopper. The top of the box should be fastened with hinges to form a lid. The top of the box should be removed and HELL INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION [From low & high plate] dented inward so as to leave a narrow space of the bottom for the mash to run out. The ends of the box should be nailed to suit the slanting board. The lower side of the box should be dreded to hold the mash by nailing inch pieces around the edge. The box can be filled with the mash giving the chickens a chance to what they desire. This will prove beneficial in the laying season to lower homestead EARTH AND OURSELVES. "And toil and unto them, be faithful, and multiply, and be pleased the earth, and satisfied it." We have multiplied, but the earth has submitted us," 413 Dr. Cyril to Hopkins of Illinois "Those things are necessary for the most profitable improvement and preservation of our upland prairie and timber soils limestone organic matter and phosphorus." Country Gentleman Don't Forget the Farm Girls. Do not forget the girls when the returns for the crops and animals are to be distributed among members of the family. The boss may have told in the hood and in the barns, and their work may need special reward. Bewild them and thus encourage them to undertake the more next year. But do not forget the girls who have made it possible for you and their brothers to allow. They have borne the heat of summer around the kitchen range, they have endured the frudgery of the weekly laundry, the choice preserves, publishes annual fruits, etc., are a result of their labor. Farm and Ranch "Test Your Seed Corn!" "Just your good corn" is a slogan for every corn growing state in the Union would not be a bad one. Do not trust to the other fellow to do the testing. Do it yourself. The germination lot is the most convenient place to advertise the bad from the good corn. When possible use good testing 10 per cent or better. And then if the seed does not grow look to soil and account for the poor stand. A good stand of good corn means good profit. Farm and Plainside Back Him Up Here is a scheme that makes the work of loading bogs easy. When one will not go up into the chute but turn back, just slip a timber basket over his head. He will start backloading to get the basket off his head. Follow him up and you can steer him up the chute and into the wagon like a wheel barrow.—Form and Fireside. P. O. Box 295.

There is no mad rush of black men and white women to the matri- menal altar out here in educated Kansas, yet there is much talk going the rounds concerning "Jim Crow" legislation and the separation of the schools. For the benefit of a few who may harbour such thoughts, we deal to get them right. Kansas was baptized in blood that not only the colored man should enjoy the rights of a free man, but the white an well. Men of both races went to the front and fought down the enactment of slavery—the colored man for his freedom and the poor white man that he might get a home and earn a livelihood for his family. Both made an equal sacrifice, and why give this same man any special privileges over the black by the enactment of laws that would harmillate one and exalt the other. Martyrs like John Brown to stamp out this evil gave his life. Kansas was allotted to the people—no distinction of races being mentioned. School houses were erected for the education of the people, and there was no discrimination until the Blicases, Tullmans, Vardamans and other renegades from Dixie's swamps led Kansas to regain what they lost by the sword. They have spread their poisonous venom and now we are confronted with this hydroheaded monster at every turn of the road. We want to serve notice on those who are crying for such laws that the sons of the men who died for the privileges they are now enjoying will not suffer them to be wept away, without a conflict. Kansas will never be like Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana and a few and other Southern states who have Jim Crowed and disfranchised the colored man. No! No!! A thousand times NO!!! All such agitation breeds race trouble and conflicts, and as such things are unknown in Kansas, it should be stamped out by the same, honest, thinking men and women of the state. The Kansas black man is educated and a good citizen and he will how to none but the creator of all things. We cannot see where any white man gets the idea that he must continue to pass special legislation for his brother in black. If the whites lived forever and the blacks were the only human beings that died, it would prove the white man's superiority, but as all come, act and die alike, there is no reason for one man to bow down to another. We believe the colored man is entitled to at least as much consideration in Kansas as the Dago, the greazy Mexican, the Blanket Indian, the Chinaman or the Japanese. He contributed to the country's welfare when these foreignors were in their native heath. Why comes all of this dovlish agitation at this late date? No decent, self-respecting white man of reason, fairness, culture and refinement would continue to harp on the Negro question. It is only the class who are afraid to cope with them. Intermarriage. We place the teachings of no living man above these of the Bible, which says: "Marriage is honorable and the bed is undefiled, but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge."—Hebrew 12:4. Color, race, or nations are not mentioned in the above, but we suppose the agitators place themselves above Christ or any of his teachings. The only race that has violated the marriage law of God in America is the white man. He defiled the bed of his slave when he drove the man out and got into it himself with the black woman. He and his slave treated children by the same woman. Now this same fellow is trying to pass separate marriage laws only between the whites and blacks - letting in every scavenger of every race under the son to marry into their families. You cannot blame some of the good American heroes for going abroad looking for pure blood and titles. The American white man has no amalgamated the race with the Indian, Negro—in fact every being that he could get near, that the girls are forced to seek mates in other lands. Now because once in a while some colored man happens to marry a white woman, then a great man for black laws is kicked up when in fact this man of color is showing far more respect for the white woman than the men of her own blood are showing to the colored women by marrying her instead of living in open adultery as does the white man in the South today. He passed these separate marriage laws so that he could take advantage of the colored woman and bluff the colored man from the white woman. At this very day in the South, the white man makes no bones of going to a colored woman's house and driving away any male member of the race who happens to be found there because they have the law and courts so fixed that they will get a decision on anything they desire. The most of this agitation in the North is done by a class of whites whose relatives have married some colored man. What is needed is good strong laws against woman slavers, and adulterers. We are compelled to say that there are too many low-bred white men in this country for the perpetuation of the good of the people who want cleanliness to rule. Now let all Kansas raise up in her might and as, one people tell this wild-eyed creature of circumstances to halt! So far shalt thou go and no further, that we need no such laws and will not tolerate them. We have gone on for more than fifty years without them and we can go fifty more. The Kansas colored man is too well cultured and educated to be compared with the Please, Varda. man, Tillman kind. We need no segregation laws, as the people of Kansas have alwyas been able to marry to suit themselves and mixed marriages are almost unknown here. The day Kansas passes such a law her men acknowledge the weakness of her women. We know the colored women are strong and can be trusted and we believe the same of the white women. The Southern white man has done so much harm that he fears that his women will forsake him because he has forsaken them for the colored women. There must be a day of reconning somewhere and the Southern white man is responsible. It is too late to draw racial lines after they have been broken in a way that it is hard to tell one from the other. We think the white man should recognize his own or at least his half of the colored individuals and not legislate against that half.
