Opposes Idea That Since Negro Has Been Freed from Slavery That There is Nothing More to Be Done About It. --- Fifteenth Year. No. 6. * In the Chicago Evening Post; Miss Jane Addams, in an article in the current issue of The Survey, entitled "Has the Emancipation Act Been Nullified by National Indifference?" protests strongly against the growth of race prejudice in the United States, and the denial of political equality to the Negro. The growth of this prejudice is largely due, she asserts, to the popular notion that since "slavery" has been put down there is nothing worse to be done about it. The present generation, she contends, seems far less sensitive to the hardships placed upon the colored race and the discriminations leveled against it than was the generation which saw the thing vividly through the conflict of the Civil war and the suffering of reconstruction days. Through a false pride a large element in the white South is taking a lower ethical tone on the Negro question than it needs to take; and through indifference the white North threatens to do the same. She says: "What has been and is being lost by the denial of opportunity and of free expression on the part of the Negro it is now very difficult to estimate; only faint suggestions of the waste can be perceived "There is, without doubt, the sense of humor, unique and spontaneous, so different from the wit of the Yankee or the inimitable story telling prized in the South; the Negro melodies, which are the only American folk songs; the persistent love of color expressing itself in the bright curtains and window boxes in the dullest and gravest parts, of our cities; the executive and organizing capacity so often exhibited by the head watter in a huge hotel or by the colored woman who administers a complicated household; the gift of eloquence, the mellowed voice, the use of rhythm and onomatopoeia which is now so often travesties in a grotesque use of long words." "Much more could be added to the list of positive losses suffered by the community which puts so many of its own members "behind the veil." It means an enormous loss of capacity to the nation when great ranges of human life are hedged about with antagonism. "We forget that whatever is spontaneous in a people, in an individual, a class or a nation, is always a source of life, a wallpring of refinement to a jaded civilisation." To continually suspect, suppress and to fear any large group in a community must finally result in a loss of enthusiasm for that type of government which gives fair play to the self-determination of a majority of its citizens. "Must we admit that the old abolitionist arguments now seem flat and scale; that, because we are no longer allowed to remove fetters, to prevent cruelty, to lead, the humblest to the banquet of civilization, therefore we are ready to eliminate the conception of right and wrong from political affairs and to substitute the base doctrine of 'political necessity and reason of state'." The issue of The Survey in which this article appears is devoted to a distinguished symposium on the Negro question. Professor George Burman Foster of the University of Chicago writes on "The Status and Vocation of Our Colored People;" George Edmund Haynes, director of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, discusses "The Basis of Race Adjustment;" W. E. B. Du Bels, editor of The Crisis, writes on "Social Efforts of Emancipation;" Mrs. Ida B. Wells-Barnett, on "Our Country's Lynching Record;" Miss Sophonlaba P. Breckinridge, on "The Color Line in the Housing Problem." Perhaps the most "militant" article in the series is the last one. Goo, Packard of the Chicago bar, in an article entitled "A Civic Problem and a Social Duty," contends that the disfranchisement of the Negro and the robbery of his civil and political rights is in violation of the constitution and makes out of what is at best a difficult problem a real menace to our institutions. Capable of Usefulness He says in conclusion: "The Negro race as a whole is capable of as fine and useful a place in our citizenship as that enjoyed by any other alien element. His sunny nature; his extraordinary imitative powers, that are as capable of a good direction as of a bad; his adaptability, his courage, his physical strength, are all characteristics that must be welded into our civilization. "How, then, are we to go about the eradication of the prejudice? It is a matter primarily of individual effort, of the exercise of moral force. The logic of the situation must be brought home to each and all. We must give the Negro, whether we like him or not, a square deal. We must bring to bear the light of reason into the darkness of the self-stultification that engulfs our attitude. Differs as Other Races "I hold no brief for the Negro as an unworthy individual. Many of the race are diseased, degraded, lazy, ignorant, brutish; many are intelligent, able, refined and self-respecting people, who have adopted our ways and customs with far greater perfection and facility than many other races who are received by us with open arms. These individual differences are of course true of all races—even our own "For two hundred and fifty years the colored race has been systematically denied its rights as men and citizens. If we reform our social attitude toward them—which is the only way on earth—and eliminate the curse of race prejudice, we can look to the Negro to take care of himself. Let us, then, as reasonable beings, take this first step, by influence, example, common sense and ceaseless agitation, to rid our country of this social and political disgrace. The cause possesses a moral basis of transcerent import, and is bound on that account to triumph in the end. The integrity of our institutions, the welfare of our political state, the trampled rights of a wronged people, cry out for justice." THE SIMPLE LIFE Our lives have lost much of their beauty, Since money predominates go; Would we could return to the simple life, TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 7, 1913. thing of Abysinia is Again Reported Dead and That Grandson Has Succeeded to the Throne. London, Feb. 3.—King Menelik of Abyssinia is dead, according to a dispatch received here from Addis Abeba today. His successor, Prince Lidji Jeassu, one of his grandsons, entered the capital on Sunday with great pump. Prince Lidji Jeassu is only 17 years old. He was selected some years ago by Menelik himself as his successor. He is a youth of great intelligence, son of Ras Michael, a powerful prince and governor of three Abyssinian provinces, whose wife was Menelik's daughter. Lidji Jeassu speaks English, French and German and has been instructed by European tutors. There have been many rumors the last five years of Menelik's death. It was reported at one time that the fact was being suppressed and that the empress was conducting the affairs of the kingdom until Lidji Jeassu was old enough to take the government. WILSON IN THE RACE FOR CITY COMMISSIONER! An Industrious Laboring Man Wants to Look After Parks and Public Property.

An Aged Washerwoman Perishes In a Fire that Burns Her Home In a fire that gutted the little three-room house at 1173 Lincoln street, where she lived, Mrs. Katherine Woods, a colored washerwoman, was burned to death Sunday afternoon about 2 o'clock. The origin of the fire is unknown. Mrs. Woods had lived alone for the last two or three years, and was about 70 years old. The fire was first seen by Mrs. Ed Ransom, who lives at 1171 Lane St. She turned in the alarm. The house companies from stations No. 1 and No. 5 and the tractor from No. 3 responded to the call. Under the direction of Chief Geo. O. Wilmarth, the flames, which had worked their way over the interior of the three rooms, were put out in a few minutes, and the house left standing. As the fireman entered one of the front rooms they found the body of the aged woman badly charred lying on the floor in a pile of half burned furniture and cooking utensils. Her face was turned away from the only door leading from the room and which was not more than six feet from where she lay. From this it is thought that she was asleep and made no effort to get out of the house, or was overcome in an effort to out the flames when they first started. ax lay in the doorway leading from an adjoining room to a shed kitchen. The stove in the room where the body was found was thrown over on the floor; and it was thought by those who first entered the room that she had met with foul play, but a thorough investigation by the coroner showed that she met death by accident. She was last seen about ten o'clock Sunday morning, when she went to a house at the corner of King and Lane streets to get a bucket of water. She depended upon her work as a washerwoman and aid she received from the county for her support. A son, Mark Williams, is the only known survivor. He was in Topeka a few days ago, but was not found at the time of accident. The body was taken to Stonecrest & Son undertaking parlor. A few montis ago the furniture in Mrs. Wood's home caught fire from a coal oil lamp which she used without a chimney, and only prompt action of the neighbors saved the house from burning at that time. Mrs. Wood's was partially an invalid, having been stricken with paralysis a few years ago had never fully recovered—Daily Capital. The leading colored citizens of this city met in True Reformer's hall recently and consumed plans for the establishment of a first class gentlemen's club which will doubtless be the finest race enterprise' of its kind in America. A magnificent edifice 'will be erected on one of the capital's princi- pal boulevards and will be lavishly furnished. It will compare favorably with the wealthy Lotus, Cosmos, Army and Navy, Cosmopolitan and other white clubs of the nation's capital. The membership comprises the flower of the business and professional circles of Washington. The club has an attractive beneficial clause in its charter. The genial, efficient and popular Mr. Robert T. Murray is general promoter and backer of this project. A grateful public honors him as the benefactor and founder of a notable epoch in the capital city's sociological development.

No one trying to down the other, but all pull together for one common cause. Kansas is rigid, now, let her stay right. It is treason for anyone to try to bring discord among her peaceful citizens.

This man Herr has introduced another bill similar to the first adding idiots and umbrelles, while there is a law on the statute books regulating this already. Beware of him. He means no good.

The colored man or woman who claims to belong to some other race because he or she is tinctured with a mongrel blood, can rest assured that some of his ancestors came from the dark continent, the land of cocoanuts and palms.

Court MAKING THE LITTLE FARM PAY MAKING FARM I SHOULD like to make it clear to farmers in general, but more particularly to owners of small tractors of luck that the fruit interest is shamefully neglected in a number of states. It is a mislike throwing away money. No bunch of farming is easier or more profitable than fruit raising. It is to note that belongs especially to the little farm, but I wish to add some of the grain growers of the country if they have ever compared the advice value of corn or wheat with that of apples. If they have not taken the trouble to do so it would be well to give the subject a little attention. Fruit cannot take the place of grain, but it can ad a great deal to the farmer's income with out interning with his general work. On a tract of twenty to forty acres there ought to be five acres of large fruit. Apples pay best of all. The crop is quite reliable, and prices almost invariably are sufficient to return a satisfactory profit. With quotations as they have been for several years the orchardist can stand a partial failure now and again. Two men will do the necessary pruning in a five acre orchard in one week every fall and the spraying in one week in the spring. The picking is usually done by the buyers. They know how to classify and park better than the farmer does. Before severe frosts set in the owner should give a couple of days to mulching the orchard. This amount of work is trifling compared to that required in raising a crop of grain. In an average season five acres of fruit will return a profit of from $1,000 to $2,000. In northern latitudes spring planting of the tree is best. Any one who is lacking in experience should not plant more than an acre, or about 100 trees, in a season. Two year old trees can be WORTH MORE THAN CROPS. What about the modern con- venues of the house? Does the wife in titles for making her husband earner is she takes on the fruiting years? Remember her that a woman's strength and empathy are the most sacred asset of the farm and that you will be sorry when they are worn out farm journal WHEN YOU MARKET BEEF. Some of the Things the Stock Raiser Ought to Bear in Mind. Every farmer who feeds or handles cattle for the market should take some reliable daily time to popp, which has a good impact on market input, and keep posted on the market. He ought to know the type of cattle he lives and in what class they belong, so that he can intelligently interpret the market reports. He should also know at what time of the year any cattle are most in demand. From a study of monthly prices on the Chicago market over a period extending from 1920 to 1931, H. Dacy drew the following conclusions. Of the various grades of beef cattle, some always fluctuate the least and Photograph by University of Wisconsin College of Agriculture PRIME HEROPOIS present the most conservative ratio be tween demand and supply. The most desirable weight for prime steers is about 1200 pounds, and the preferable age is two and a half years. The most favorable period at which to market prime beef is during June and November, although there is a demand for it throughout the year. All grades below prime ductuate widely. They are infested visibly by dry weather, competition from other or grades, the high price of feed and an overloaded market. Butter stock is most in demand during the spring months. Stockers and feeders bring the highest prices during February, March and April. Bulletin University of Wisconsin Agricultural Experiment Station Make Your Trees New. Make Your Tree New. Time renovation is now in order. It pairs wonderfully when properly done. The first thing is to remove the dead branches, then the interfering ones the suckers and the water sprouts. Then next step is off and burn the rough bark to kill the insects. Finally paint all wounds larger than one half inch with white lead and oil. By C. C. BOWSFIELD used with an assurance of good results. Late varieties are recommended for location where frost is likely to appear after the 15th of April. Freezing weather after fruit trees have blossomed is pretty sure to kill the entire crop. The late varieties of apples and cherries are more apt to escape frost in the building period than the only kinds. Experience in the last ten years shows that the danger is nearly all in the spring. Artificial heating of an orchard is possible if a sudden cold snap comes at a critical time. Heaters for this purpose can be bought, or smokegees can be kept going for a day or two until the danger is over. I have raised the temperature of an orchard in degrees to slow fires and saved a choos crop. There are good reasons for recommending the gradual development of an orchard. It is well to test soil, methods of handling and quality of young trees. I prefer level land, so that ice and ley water may be held around the roots of mature trees in the spring. This holds back the budding until danger from frost is over. Young trees ought to be protected from this lee and chilly water by a thick coat of manure. Roots obtain a better hold and trees are stronger on level land than on a slope. I would not place the orchard in a low place however. A good depth of loam is desirable, and it may be sandy, but not gravelly. With all these things to study and in view of the fact that there is no income for a few years, I would say it was unwise to make the entire investment for an orchard and do all the work in one season. There are many features that yield a profit the first year, and these need attention from the first, although they do not pay better than fruit in the long run. --- WHY FIELDS WASH. Because of the lack of humus fields wash, and the running off of the water garries off the top soil. There are parts of America in which fields are worn out not because crops have exhausted the fertility, but because the fertile surface soil has been carried off by washing. Humus acts as a blender. BOX FOR SEED CORN. Homemade Contravance That Is Cheaply Made and Easy to Use. George Martin of Shena Vista county, the a correspondent of the Iowa Homestead says that he is in favor of picking seed corn while picking to crisb, and he thinks that a better quality and simpler ear can be picked. He sends the in-supplying sketch of a wagon box that he unmade and is using and finds it to be very convenient to take off the wagon box and put on. All that is needed are one buggy tire and six nails to nail iron to the wagon box for any ordinary sized box holding a pack of corn. The iron must be nailed on the box, and then the box can be lifted off and set away while using the wagon for other work in stead of wiring it or nailing to the wagon box. In order to get the measurements for the iron hold the box on the step of the wagon and measure the distance from the inside of the step around the box to the top of the wagon box, allowing about three inches at both ends for hook and projecting at the bottom. Clucks and Crows. When fattening an old hen or any fowl that is apt to be tough feed it on bread maked in vinegar for about six days before killing, and the meat will be tender. Laying hens should be fed liberally during cold days, for they need not only the usual quantity of feed to manufacture eggs, but an extra supply to counteract the effects of the cold. It is a resentential that the poultry house be cleaned out oftener in the winter than in summer, for during cold weather the house is shut up and the games are confined, thus increasing the danger from disease. Keep on calling. If there is but a single bird in the flock that is not needed get rid of it.

A resident of Marion for over thirty years; a hard worker; industrious and loyal; he has made for himself a record that will be an everlasting monument for him. But, Sid isn't dead yet. Not by a long shot. His life is an active one, and although he devotes his endeavors successfully to business, he is prominent in the political and religious life among the colored people of this community. Born near Raleigh, N.C., in 1847, he came to Kansas in 1892. He has freighted on the plains, held officers for it during the Civil war and been in "nightly close quarters a powerful lot of times" during the early history of this to "Uncle Sid," as we all like to call him, is a "powerful busy man these days" - opens coming in and ages going out, and poultry to weigh and butter to judge and then, too, the furnace "just naturally eats up coal by the wagon load." We don't like to mention it, and if it wasn't for Uncle Sid we wouldn't say anything about it, but here is a little item clipped from a local paper last year that goes to show that he is a busy man: "When one candles 27,648,000 eggs he or she has candled some. This is the amount of eggs that Mr. Sid Holder has held up to the bright sunlight and, after his careful examination, declared O. K. and proper to be shipped out under the Loveless signature. Doubt it? Well—12 carloads a year; 400 cases to carload; 360 eggs in a case; 16 years on the same firm's payroll. Multiply the dope or ask Sid." Well! Here's "three cheers and a tiger" for Sid and may he live to enjoy another 17 years of service at the work he seems so well fitted to do - Marion Cash Buyer. ATCHISON, KAN.

Dr. Wiley, the Food Expert, says a Bug is the Cause. All sorts of reasons are advanced for the turning yellow of alfalfa. Some may be correct and some not. "Lack of bacteria in the soil," says one. "The ground needs time," says another. "Door underdrainage," says a third. But here comes H. W. Wiley of Washington, the famous food expert, who tells us in the Rural New Yorker that it is due to a peculiar sort of house that is very fond of feeding on alfalfa. Here is what he says: "A year ago last spring I sowed four acres of alfalfa on my farm in Loudoun county, Va. The plot bearing the alfalfa has just at the foot of the Blue Ridge, on the east side, and is a good quality of soil.

FILLS A HENIIOUSE NEED. Here's an Easily Maud and Simple Feeding Trough For Poultry. One of the greatest needs in a hen house is a dry, clean though for feeding shell, grit, bran or the dry ration. The man who has a coiled house can try my method and I'll guarantee he will like it. says a Michigan correspondent of the American Agriculture. Cut through the rolling board between the studding and take out the board. Put two small bings on it, replace and fix a button to hold it in place. Next out a slit about two inches wide and narrow to the studding on both sides, about WALL ADJUSTED 250D HVAC TOOL 1000 A VERTICAL WALL a foot above the door insert a through running back and slamming in the out- side of the door. Allow the front edge of the though to come a little above the opening in the wall on the floor so not overturn. With a foot south the through may be easily filled, and the lens cannot waste or get on top of the though, and to it. I have three in my home for gin, shout and be on during the winter. Where one does this and thanks it best to keep it kept before the flowers all the time the plant will be liked as it will open room whatever. If any house is not called the house may be put on the outside of the house with droughts through. The tops of the flowers should plant on the rain with rain off. These, of course, will have to be filled from the outside. With this plant the food drops down as fast as the house removes it from the droughts. --- Good neighbors may sometimes be evolved from poor ones by properly planting and caring for a few rules of fencing Around the Hennery. Here is where so many people fall down in the hen business. They will not feed well while the hens are "dry." Charcetal is not a food, though fowls gain in flesh and eggs during its use. It simply puts them and keeps them in a good condition for work. Impure ash, as well as dampness, is a danger to any flock. Separate the flock in bunches of twenty five or fifty and feed them separately, and they will make much better grains. With the possible exception of broil eggs, poultry produce the highest grilled chicken meat on the market. They frequently bring us high as 40 cents a pound and never less than 20 cents. During the winter months the poor houses are apt to get damp, and some kind of absorbent material should be used on the floors of the poultry houses and in the walls. Nothing excels dry dust for this purpose. Be mindful that if the hens do not have a full supply of grit the food who not pass through the cage as it should the grit and the passage way from the top to the bottom be some clogged and many a fowl also simplies from want of material to grit its food. Keep grit before the fowl at all times. ANNOUNCEMENTS. I hereby announce myself as a candidate for City Commissioner, Parks and Public Property.

Poor old and in a sad state of her life use the last few of our life had been spent in toiling to keep the children of her white moth in luxury and case. Her troubles are over, and in the end, the best that the daily papers can find to say is that she was a persistent violator of the prohibitory law. Suppose she did violate the law? Was "Aunt" Jane any worse than the brass collated white men who are selling boose by the wholesale in Topika? They are hasled as gentlemen and walk the street without even as much as a hunt of being arrested.

A correspondent of the Kansas Farm Bureau says that paper plays an important upon the necessity of sheltering farm implements and that the cost of lumber and interest on the invoice in a machinery shed is greater than the deposit of an implemen- tment as a result of exposure. The付 The average lot size is required as having a minimum investment in farm machinery, in farming and in the land. It is not just that the wee farm equipment must be insured. We are confident that the depreciation on farm equipment when insured to the statutory is not less than 10 percent per year. We are licensed to the land and it is 20 percent per year. We have that a 20 percent depreciation will apply to least a part of the equipment. "The in equipment exposed to the weather the larger the depreciation in dollars and cents. One hundred dollars will creat a last class machinery shoal. If $100 is not available $20 will creat a shoal sufficiently large to house an a very satisfactory manner $1000 to $1700 worth of machinery. The $20 shoal will be smaller than the $100 shoal, and its use will require some piling up of machinery. "This, however, can be done with no cash outlay and with little quailty of time and labor. If the depreciation on the shoal itself is 5 per cent per year and the interest on the investment is 5 or 8 per cent per year there is still a considerable amount in favor of saving the 10 per cent or minimum depreciation on the machinery. "It does not seem possible that a wide awake farmer would argue against the advantages of good machinery care, even though it be impossible for him to provide a machine shed." FLOUR BARREL COOP.

While going home at a late hour last Saturday night Mr. Wm. Hurston was robbed of $5 in bills and of some loose change. When attacked he was near a bridge south of the Santa Fe round house and Tenth St. He was approached by two men who asked him for a match, and when told that he had no match they struck him over the head with a club, inflicting a gash over the eye. He is not seriously injured. Rev. W. S. Blake has been somewhat indisposed, but is out again. We find that some of our men are wide awake over the bill before the Legislature prohibiting marriage between the whites and blacks. It is certain that some of the whites want "Jim Crow" laws in Kansas. "Jim Crow" laws are derived from a mind diseased with prejudice and a total disrespect of law and decency and fosters lynching, burning and the kindred crimes that operate against the colored people in America.

Housley returned last Saturday from an extended visit at Topeka, Leavenworth, and Lexington, Mo., with relatives. He is deserving of the respect of the community as a Christian gentleman. This is the second year of the pastorate of Rev. W. H. Housley at the A. M. E. church here and is loved by his congregation and by those that are not connected with the church. After the death of his wife, which occurred several weeks ago, he seemed to be in a state of dejection. For that reason he secured a leave of absence of several weeks and went on a visit During his absence he gained seven pounds in weight and is very much refreshed in spirit mind and body. His members and friends gladly welcome his return. Mr George Young, an old resident of our city, is quite ill and his condition is reported unimproved. Mr. George Harley reported on the sick list but on the mind. The Literary society of the A.M.

By the use of the connecting dollar shown in the cut two or more poultry colony houses can be brought together and used for the winter quarters of a flock of thirty five or more fowls. When used in two or in three an overflow summer house can be connected and used as the feeding and scratching shed. If a third house is used in the series it can be fitted as a laying or a dusting pan. In thus the fowls can be kept in larger flocks with greater liberty to the individual labor is also greatly reduced, thus much as only one house instead of two or three need to be visited when feeding. In therefore, by virtue of the larger number roosting in one pen it will be quite safely wintered.

Even if the early winter has been mild March freezes do the most damage. Mulch the lawn. If there are thin spots give it an extra coat of compost, tobacco stems or a clean stable mixture, putting on straw to hide it. This ugly covering, which snow will usually hide, will assure a beautiful award in the spring. Start a compost heap. A good gardener never burns leaves, but keeps them in a compost between layers of stable litter, rotting for use in the spring. Trim the tops from the hardy chrysanthemums, the hollyhocks and the golden glow and match the roots. Plune the grape and currants any mild day, but leave the fruit trees until later.

Use of Manure Spreader Has a Wonderful Effect Upon Forths. I write, upon publication into a magazine, that in the cold white it had him that it was still cooled and when it had been stirred several times with forks. I was interested, says a writer in Green Hill's Grower, and waited for the man to load his wheeled sprender drawn by two horses and saw him pass up and down through the held several times. This manure sprending machine is a modern device. It spreads the manure more evenly than any man can do the work, no matter how careful or experienced he may be. There was scarcely an inch of soil on the field that was not covered with a slight spread of manure, the machine covering about eight feet in width each time it crossed the field. But it would seem impossible that such a slight covering of manure should have, as it does, such marvelous effect upon the soil. This fertilizer really acts like magic. It is not alone the fertility which the manure contains which benefits the land. The manure helps us to set at work bacteria in the soil, thus in a measure inoculates the soil with helpful creatures that continue their work. Further than this, the manure tends to loosen the soil and to make it crumble easily under the plow and burrow. The successful farmer of the past has made the accumulation protection and application of stable moisture a special study. The poor impudent farmer allows half the value of his stable moisture to be written by heating or by being leached by heavy storms, as may be seen by the record streams of water running away from his barnyard. Washing Butter In Winter. In water the water for washing and mud to soaking should not be below temperature of 50 degrees F. With regard to the quantity of water to use stillborn water should be placed in the churn to thaw thoroughly all the batter gran contained in the butter will require two or three washing in order to remove most of the churn matter which if allowed to mash in the butter causes the finish attic to become bad. When the water is only clear and free from mildew on being withdrawn from the churn the butter should be sufficiently washed. While being careful to wash the butter thoroughly, do not over wash it on the color and flavor will be spoiled. Early more of mind that has ever been productive may be made so again.
