Senate Kills Bill Legislating Negroes Out of Railroad Service. Gallant Fight by Colored Porters, Flagmen and Business Men Saves Job for Hundreds... Organize and Fight the "Crew Bill" in Every State. --- Fifteenth Year. No. 8. The colored flagmen and railroad porters are exceedingly happy this day, and all because the "crew bill," a proposition that would have legislated them out of a job was killed before the senate committee. We all feel proud of that body of loyal representatives of the people. The colored man is certainly getting a fair, square and honorable deal at their hands. The following is the bill and also the contention of the men as placed before the senate committee: Now a little hint to the men of colbe engaged in railroad work in this state and elsewhere. This should be a lesson to every mother's son of you. Had it not been for a few men of the U. P. and Rock Island systems and a few six-railroad men in Topeka and local colored Business Mea' League, the Negro as a railroader would doubtless have been a thing of the past. The Plaindealer wants to serve notice on each and all of you right here, that you had better get together and organize for your own protection. The corporation is willing to befriend you, but the union is against you good and hard. They do not want you to work as a railroader and earn bread as they are doing. They see into think the black man, some sort of a wild beast and unworthy of a place in the ranks of those who will bread by the sweat of their brave. It is up to you Mr. Alfred Mar to stay by your friends. The time has arrived when you must cease looking for a "good time" and get busy and work. Your brain Over two thirds of you are more slaves—not a dollar saved for the proverbial rainy day, nor will you purchase property or place a dollar where it will make you independent of the insults heaped upon you by others. There are too many cheap men in your ranks. What is needed is an organization that will take nothing but substantial men who will not only perform their duty, but save their money and assist in protecting each other's interest. Think of it, not a porter from the great Santa Fe, not one from the M. K. & T., Frisco or M. O. P., were on the grounds. We are willing to wager that if a good, healthy crap game had of been booked or a stunt where they could imitate some wealthy white man they would have been here ten deep. Stop this infernal foolishness and be men. You lack intelligent, now DO the part. With your wide experience you ought to be setting the pace for the less fortunate members of the race. The white man swears by his union and this alone should be an inspiration to you to organize and protect yourselves. Get together, put in so much money each month and operate on the benefit plan. Elert men who will push things and guard and watch the things that interest you and yours. We are proud of the saving and the magnificent week done by the committee. They acted like freeman and saved the day for hundreds of their unworthy brothers, employed by various people who did not contribute a cent to aid the cause. How is the time to rid yourselves of this ruff raff Negro and get down to business and not until this is done will you receive what is justly due you and yours Senate Bill No. 223 An act to promote the safety of travelers and to protect lives and limbs of railroad employees, by precluding the minimum number of experienced employees which shall con- stitute a crew for the operation of locomotives and trains on steam railroads in this state. Section 1 makes it unlawful to operate any passenger train not equipped with a crew consisting of at least one engineer, one fireman, one conductor, one flagman and one brakeman. Section 2 makes it unlawful to operate any freight train, construction or repair train, consisting of twenty-five cars or less, exclusive of the caboose and engine, not equipped with a crew consisting of at least one engineer, one fireman and one pilot or flagman. Section 3 makes it unlawful to operate in the yards or terminals any locomotive assigned to switching exclusively not equipped with a crew consisting of at least one engineer, one flagman, one yard conductor or engine foreman and a switchman or yard brakeman. Section 4 makes it unlawful to employ any locomotive engineer who shall not have had at least four year's experience as a locomotive fireman or engineer, or any conductor or engine fireman who has not had at least one year's experience as brakeman or yard man, or any passenger brakeman or flagman who shall not have had two year's experience as yard man or freight brakeman. Colored Men Protest. To the Honorable Committee on Railroads, if the State Senate: Gentlemen:—Relative to Senate Bill number 223, we beg leave to call your attention to a few facts and submit our objections to the bill, which if passed will work immeasurable harm to a large body of faithful and capable railroad employees who will be absolutely legislated out of employment by said bill. We refer, gentlemen, to the colored flagmen and train porters, many of whom have a quarter of a century of satisfactory service to their credit in their respective capacities referred to, and to whose worth and merit their employers will gladly attest. These men in spite of their practical knowledge of their work and their mathed efficiency acquired by many years of faithful service and practical experience will under the provisions of this bill, be ineligible to further ply their vocations as flagmen for the reasons, that according to rules of the union of railway traunmen and other unions of railroad, men a colored man is absolutely precluded from the opportunity of ever acquiring the necessary qualifications as provided in Section Four of this bill, i.e., two years experience as yardmen or freight brakemen. The unions do not permit a colored man to hold the positions as guardmen or freight brakemen, and these conditions give to the bill a decided tinge of injustice and a marked savor of class legislation. We have every confidence in your fairness and family call your attention to the above facts for the reason that possibly you must have considered the bill without a full knowledge of the facts, and solutions mentioned above. The colored flagmen and train porters ask no special favors but beseech that you do not in the exercise of a wise discretion recommend for passage this bill which absolutely puts out of business thousands of capable, industrious and thrifty railroad men for no other reason than that cruel and unjust rules of Railroad Unions will not permit them to qualify as required in sald bill, when at the same time their many years of TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 21, 1913. service at successful railroading and the high esteem in which they are held by their employers stands for naught if the bill becomes a law. In conclusion kindly permit us to call your attention to the fact that many of these colored flagmen and train porters about to be legislated out of their jobs are tax payers, some are buying homes and many have plied no other vocation in life, and have mastered their line and know no other business. Would it be fair and just to pass this bill in its present form which means to them absolute exclusion from earning a livelihood at their chosen work, however eager their employers may be to retain them? Thanking you in advance for the full and just consideration we are confident you will give to this matter, we have the honor to remain most respectfully and obedently yours, J. W. BARKER, Ex R. R. Man S. McDONALD, U. P. M. J. OWENS, Santa Fe J. A. BRUSHWOOD, C. R. I P. JOHN TAYLOR, U. P. Committee of Railroad, Colored Flagmen and Train Porters of Kans. General Manager Kouna, of Santa Fe. Makes Argument Against Bill. The legislature of Oklahoma seems to be having as much trouble with the so-called full crew bill as is the legislature of Kansas. Unable to come to an agreement on the bill, the Oklahoma senate has asked the state corporation commission for its views. C. W. Kouns, general manager of the Santa Fe railroad, speaking for all the Kansas lines before the railroad committees of the Kansas senate and house, said that the full crew bill, if enacted into law, would cost the Kansas roads $2,000,000 annually. Such a law in Oklahoma, he said, would cost the railroads in that state three-quarters of a million dollars annually. Mr. Kouna is using for an "exhibit" in the Kansas case the following editorial on the subject from the Oklahoma City Oklahoma: "The crew bill is put forward as a safety measure. Its proponent asserts that it is essential to the safety of the traveling public. The railroads, on the other hand, deny that this is its real purpose. They claim that it is nothing more than a piece of legislation to create some additional jobs. "If it be true that the bill will involve an additional outlay of from $500,000 to $750,000 annually upon the roads operating in the state—and it is obvious that it will involve a considerable additional expense—the legislature should think twice before it adopts any such measure." "The members of the legislature should bear this fact constantly in mind in dealing with legislation of this character. "The courts, both state and federal, have uniformly held that all public utility corporations are entitled to earn a fair return upon their investments. They are privileged to enforce both freight and passenger rates which will enable them to yield such a return. "It clearly follows, therefore, that every time we adopt legislation which adds to the expense of operating public utility corporations, we are simply laying an additional burden upon the people whom they serve. The cost of their service can be raised—or what amounts to the same thing, inequitable rates, maintained—in whatever degree is necessary to overcome the addition of expense imposed. "It is, of course, out of the question to relieve the nationals, or other public or, as capitals, of all regulation, nearly for the sake of lightning than for the sake of expense, for in that event the safety of their patrons would be wholly ignored; but we ought to be very sure before we impose requirements, involving additional expense of operation, that the order is thus, aptly justified by higher considerations." KANSAS CITY MISSOURI Mrs. Gus Young most highly entertained at dinner Monday evening in honor of Mrs. Richard Nunn, of Atchison, Kau, whose husband is here in St. Margrett hospital nursing a broken leg, but is doing nicely. Mrs. M. B Hudson, of Fort Scott, Kas, is spending a few days with relatives in the two cities. The Jolly Matron End Week club has been organized with twelve ladies and were delightfully entertained by Mrs. Corey Green at her home, 316 Greeley avenue on Saturday of last week. The club prize, a silver spoon was won by Mrs. W. H. King while Mrs. Andrew Skinner captured the booby. Mrs. Frank Moss was among the guests. A delicious lunchcon was served. The next meeting will be with Mrs. W. H. Kinnk, the president, at 2207 North Third street. With a heart as large as his body and tempered sweet as a child, tells the story of the whole construction of our highly esteemed friend and fellow townsman, Mr. M. A. Oglesvie. "Mart," as he is dubbed by his wide circle of good warm friends, is one of those fellows whose motto reads, "As we journey through life, let us live by the way, and he adhears to it strictly. His big heart and sunny disposition makes life to him what it should be to everybody—one grand dream of joy and peace. He loves his family and home, and there is nothing on earth too good for his estimable wife—name it and it is forth coming. Not given to the stunt of aping men worth thousands of dollars and calling it "society," Mart is perhaps best known among those who yield to the lore of rod, reel and the exciting "stands" of the bird dog. Here is where his heart lays, and during the past hunting and fishing season, set the pace for all the sports in this neck of the woods. He is planning a trip when the fishing season opens, and is having a special motor boat constructed in which he expects to to the little ground Mr. O. Leslie holds a responsible position with D. D.

PROMINENT YOUNG PEOPLE TO JOIN IN HOLY WEDLOCK Ming, Irene Walker of Denver, and Mr. Ned O'Banion of Colorado Springs. the Happy Pair. On Tuesday evening Mr. and Mrs. Victor B. Walker were host and hostess at an announcement dinner, that being the occasion on which they first made public the engagement of their daughter, Miss Irene, and Mr. Ned O'Banion of Colorado Springs. Rumor has proclaimed the fact before in a whisper, and so the announcement found the guests in a degree prepared to receive it. All the world loves a lover, and nature seems to pause to pay homage to the bride-to-be. In some such spirit of good will, the occasion and the participants were in unison. This was Denver's first announcement dinner, a social form much in vogue in older communities, and it was in every detail worthy of the happiness it portends, and of the young people whose future it involved. Miss Walker is a Nebraska-Colorado product. Her twenty years have been largely spent in the former state though the finishing of her education is divided between Colorado and Washington, she having attended Howard university up until the verge of graduation. Then an attack of illness intervened, which caused her to return home. Here she has remained, having fallen a victim in the meanwhile to the arrows of the little god of love. In appearance she is tall and striking. A natural sunny disposition has been enhanced with ample social attainments so that she is an admonition to any society. While many favor and much attention has been shown her, she has remained the same lovable, simple-hearted girl, the apple of her father's eye and her mother's joy. Mr. O'Bunion, the cavailer, who has tilted with all competitors and won, is a resident of Colorado Springs. Speaking of him the Topeka Plain-dealer says: "He is a native son, having first seen the plight of day at Clay Center, where he received the thirty-third and last degree in the 'Grand United Order of Hard Knocks' and a liberal education in the public schools of his town. Mr. O'Bunion resided in Topeka for several years and was an attaché at the state house under the regime of Gov. Ed. Hoch. "Thoroughly endowed with that get-up-and-get so common among the budding manhood of Kansas, he settled in Colorado Springs several years ago, and through his thrift, energy and enterprise, has become one of her most useful and honored citizens. In political, social and religious circles he holds an enviable place. As a political 'spell-binder,' no man of his race throughout that long range of hills has ever been so greatly in demand." At present Mr. O'Bannon is "turn key" at the county jail. The readiness with which Colorado Springs has welcomed and advanced his fame and fortune bespeaks merit fully in keeping with the encomium of the paper of his old home town. The announcement over, the guests were regulated with a spread in keeping with the perfect arrangement of the quite. Music was dismused throughout and perfect service prevailed. The menu was prepared by James Bafford and counted of Grape fruit. Tomato Bisque Bread Sticks Olive Chicken Cream Potatoes Roquefort Salad French Dressing Ice Cream (Heart Center) Cake Coffee At the close Dr. Westbrook led off with a toast to matrimony, ably seconded by several gentlemen who spoke of it from its various viewpoints. The home, which is spacious and well appointed for the entertaining of so large a party, was then used as a drawing-room. The guests filled out of evening of unalloyed pleasure with felicitations of the Price $1.50 Per Year. bride and bridegroom-to-be and with social pastimes. The guests present were Messrs, and Mesdames, Fred Ratley, Stewart, John Carrie, Jr., William Rues, Skillern, Holmes, Franklin, Webster, Abernathy, Dempsey, Dr. and Mrs. Westbrook, Dr. and Mrs. McClaim, Mesdames W. H. Stell, Ed Hamilton, Tho. Webb, Finley, and Mr. Dishman. The seating of thirty-three persons at one immense table gave ample play for flowers, candelabra and other table adornments. The Battenburg, rich in design, the cut glass and silver made a pretty white setting for the pink flowers, white and pink being the color scheme. The wedding is to take place in early June.—Denver Star. K. C. K. MAYOR "IN BAD!" Porter's Method Drives Business to Mo. All of Kansas City, Kansas is up in arms to make the present Mayor Porter an ex. His administration is a failure so far as the building up and making Kansas City, Kansas a greater city. The people want a man who will work for Kansas and not Missouri. They say if he is continued in office any longer, the business and labor people may as well move out and turn the streets into cow pastures. The capitalist and manufacturer have turned a deaf ear to the to the town. Taxes are becoming burdensome. The last list of delinquent tax sales were a fright. Several homes of honest, industrious people were sold under the hammer, the like of which has never been witnessed in this city until the regime of Mayor Porter. There is no reason for a condition of this kind in Kansas City for the city can offer the same inducements as Kansas City, Mo, yet Porter's influence builds up Missouri and not Kansas. He does not seem to catch on or don't understand what the people want. They want less extravagance, less taxes and better results. Can Porter give it to them? NO! He has been tried and found wanting. If four years is not sufficient time to obtain results, then it is time to step down and out for if Porter is given two more years the people will surely have to move. Get rid of Porter is the Macedonian cry that is heard throughout the city, and every loyal voter should register and vote against him. Redeem Kansas City! Redeem her from his Satanic host. OLATHE.

The general theme of the paper was the effect of spiritual love—an argumentation of the subject matter found in Paul's Epistles in the Corinthians, Revelation, Chapter VIII.

Wouldn't do any good to suggest 'Jim Crow' laws down there." Such talk from a Christian(?) white gentleman(?) up in this pack of the woods took to show that though the American white man claims superiority over the world he has a streak that will forever bar him from the top round of the ladder of civilization, and that streak is prejudice. Think of a man claiming superior intelligence, superior civilization, and superior manhood using the word "nigger" in reference to a race of people created by the same God that created all mankind out of one blood, endowed with all the traits as himself, the only difference being in the color of the skin, and you will have the picture of a lost soul doomed to everlasting torment, and that is the abiding place in the hercuffa for all such as Lux, and if color of skin and hair is any key to the situation Lux might scratch around and find some of his ancestors running trains in Costa Rica. THAT MISCEGENATION LAW! From the Richmond Planet: The Democratic House of Representatives at Washington, D.C., has passed a miscogenation bill, making the inter-marriage of white and colored people in the District of Columbia and the territories a crime punished as a felony. This action, handcaps the average citizen of color who might feel disposed to protest, in that it will be charged that such a citizen believes in the inter-marriage of the races. It is argued, why should a colored citizen protest, if he is opposed to misogyny? At the risk of being misunderstood, we have always opposed the enactment of laws prohibiting the inter-marriage of citizens of the United States. We do so for the reason that it only serves to put a premium upon concubinage and makes the innocent offspring suffer as the result of the immoral conduct of the parents. We have misogyny laws upon the statute books of southern states, and yet in this section there may be found more illegitimate mulattoes in these same states than can be located anywhere in the country. White men serving in Congress, and many of whom no doubt voted for the measure, are fathers of colored children. As a colored man cannot marry a white female without her consent, to our mind the bill virtually a measure to prohibit white females from marrying colored male, and white males from marrying colored females. The law is a dead letter so far as inimputation is concerned in houses of constitution. We are in favor of maintaining moral purity and of the solons will not act a law to keep white men from invading the sanctity of colored men's homes and make it a felony for either a white person or a colored person to inhabit one with the other the race will have been land at the root of this social cancer our governmental failure. we know that the lack of room on old he been uss as an agent in the costing of the pas- sage of the measure.

The man who is always "going" to do something never succeeds like the man who does things. One man who does things is worth a carload of those who are going to do things. There is an old saying that the barking dog never bites, and the principle might apply to the man who is always going to do something, but gets no further than bluff and bluster will carry him. The man or woman who lives right never worries over idle gossip, but the wretch who is guilty always has a dread of impending exposure, and is generally loudest in protestations of innocence. Watch him! The situation in Mexico has passed the danger mark and the "ex" have been attached to another president. But Uncle Sam is watching the trend of affairs as the baseball "fan" keeps tab on the diamond, itching all over for an excuse to butt in, but it seems that a still small voice whispers: "Better stay on the outside and look in." And President Taft is acting wisely in not permitting the hostile to lead him to intervene. --- The press dispatchers from Cattano Illinois, state that "Joke Starts Negro Essalus," and goes on to tell how the colored people have left their homes to seek safety from threatened violence on the part of some person or persons who posted up placards on the homes of the colored people warning them to leave within thirty days, and then ask that it is supposed that these placards were the work of some joker. When white men go so far as to spend money to have placards made there is more in their actions than jokes, but instead of running like so many rabbits these colored people should have stayed long enough to be sure that harm was intended, and at the same time been busy laying in a good supply of long range rifles and ammunition. ```markdown ``` The Kansas City Journal has an editorial in its edition of Tuesday under the caption "Hard on Somebody," in which it says: "The Popkin Plunderer is not always plain, but it is always vigorous" and then goes on to quote two items from "Passing Comment" and put them together in scrambled egg order, giving its readers the opinion that the cold man administers such go-to-combination. The first article quoted by the Journal was a question as to why the colored people were always being slapped in the face and cold to get back if they were making no material progress, as many white people seem to believe. The second part of the quotation was no refrence to the state of Kansas put forth in the payroll who have no interest in the state, man who own not a dollar's worth of property, or who didn't in the state during the campaign, as and why politics on all sides are making their cash in hand, as they are not using the money.

Mr. J. M. Tiggs of Parsons Pawsen From Time to Eternity. (By S. O. Clayton, Feb. 12, '13.) The morning of life is fleeting. The sun of our earthly existence rises in all its matchless glory, full of rich promises and ore we are aware of it the noon of life is upon us. Majestically the great crimsoned orb slips down the western sky and soon the chimes of evening are symphonizing the sad requiem of the departed day. Life, says one writer, is a shadow that passeth away; a flower which fadeth; a grass which withereth and is cut down; a vapor which dissolves in the air; a dream that is soon over. But let us be not unmindful of the one important fact that life is real. It is the day of salvation which we must improve; it is the period of forbearance and long-suffering which we must embrace. The measure of life is uncertain. The delicate flower may not have put forth its tender petals, and yet the sturdy giant of the forest may tell of centuries of storm and sunshine. Death creeps into the cradle of infancy and extinguishes the little spark are the dawn of life is clear. Death exacts its toll from the ranks of children; it plucks the fairest flower of manhood and womanhood, and finally serves its summons upon age. Truly man fleeth as a shadow and continueth not. Death is a myterious and yet a delicate curtain that hangs between time and eternity. Sometimes the sunlight of God's eternal glory shines upon us and with the eyes of faith we look through and behold the angehe faces of the loved ones who have gone before us. John Marshall Tiggs, the deceased, and beloved brother, husband, father, friend; son of Peter and Maria Tiggs, was born in Navasota, Texas, March 3rd, 1874. In 1879 he moved, with his mother and others of the family, to Parsons, Kansas, which place was his home till the hour of his death. In 1897 he was married to Miss Lissie Bradley, daughter of Daniel Bradley, Sr., and Mrs. Florida Bradley. Their wedded union was blessed with one child, Freda, who, with her mother, survives to mourn the loss of a dear husband and a loving father. Years ago a loving mother preceded him into the greater world, where death is no longer a mystery. The vacancy that mother leaves is never filled and she was frequently the object of his solemn meditations. As the brief span of life began to shuten and the passing of every milestone brought him nearer the grave he thought more of mother. On the evening of the 21st of July last, while at his home and seated at the piano playing a familiar air he became ill and he tells us that at that time his mother visited him from the spirit world to warn him to forsake the life he was living and turn to Jesus and be saved. Straightway he arose and went over to Mt. Pleasant Baptist church where religious services were being held and asked the Christians to pray for him. On July 22, he called for his aunt, Mrs. Lucinda Williams, to come to his home and pray for him. Mrs. Williams and others went in and praved for him. Saint and sinner lifted up their voices together. He prayed for mercy and salvation, and they prayed that God, the Savior, might hear the pitiful plea of a bleeding and contrite heart. It was at this meeting that he professed a hope in Christ. When his wife, who was out of the city at the time he was taken ill, arrived at his bedside he told her that he could not live long, but that he had been saved through the blood of Jesus. While we longed for his recovery, the hand of affliction was merciless and at a time when it was thought best he was removed to a place where it was thought that better care could be taken of him. But withal he grew worse and finally surrendered all of life Feb. 9th, 1913, aged 36 years, 11 months, 6 days. The deceased was an industrious, energetic young man. He always provided for his family and worked hard to promote the better interests of his home. He also instructed his daughter to study hard that she might obtain an education and be better able to encounter the battles of life. He said to her a year ago: "Papa has ruined his health in the smoke and gas at that round house and won't always be with you." After he conversion he loved to say, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus." He longed to be baptized and join the church Brother Pythians, death has cancelled another worthy brother from your ranks.

This city is still real Seventeen pastors of all denomination have been discussing The Second Advent for a month Now comes Pastor Russell telling us all that "The Faith abolith forever"—that it will never be stroved by literal fire According to him the great event of Christ's Coming will bring blessings such as we all desire. He seems to have the Bible and logic on his side too! Pastor Russell declared that false concepts of the Second Coming of Christ had done great injury. The view set forth in all orthodox creeds is that Christ will come again in the death. The resurrection will take place within twenty four hours. The salutary will rise in the air to meet the Lord. Then fire will come down from heaven, and consume the whole earth. Pro-millennialists claim that Christ will reign in despair glory a thousand years to bless the living. The majority of Christians disown this as ridiculous nonsense because they believe little of creed or Bible. A minority perceive its inconsistency with the Bible. What Bable Students New Bee. The "fire of that day" is symbolical, already kindling in society, the elements of which Capital and Labor, are getting hotter. Soon they will melt, the symbolical "earth" will be consumed with the "heavens" also, the ecclesiastical powers Their passing away will usher in a "new earth" or social order, and "new heavens," the Church in glory. The Second Coming of Christ is associated with blessings. Messiah will abolish the curse and bring in wonderful blessings. The Day of Christ will be "the last day,"—the great Seventh Thousand Year Day. All humanity will be blessed, including the dead who will then be awakened. Christ Comes to Reign. As the redemption was necessary for man's salvation so Messiah's Kingdom is necessary to accomplish restitution. The delay of more than eighteen centuries is Scripturally explained: (1) God designed Six Great One Thousand Year Days to teach mankind the exceeding sinfulness of sin. He purposed that on the Seventh Day the blessing of Messiah should come. (2) An important work has been done since Calvary. An Elect Church has been gathered out of all nations—saints made perfect through suffering, a Little Block, the "Church of the First-born." These are to become the Bride of Christ at His Second Advent. The Second Coming of Jesus is to claim His Bride class, and to exalt them. As regards the world, He comes to bind Satan, to overthrow sin, and to uplift fallen humanity. St. Peter tells that restitution work, not a literal burning of the world, awaits the Second Coming of Jesus: "Times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord."—Acts III, 10-21. Christ's Kingdom to Be Spiritual. Christ's Kingdom to be spiritual. One great mistake we have all made is in not noticing that Jesus was human for only thirty-three and a half years. He was a glorious spirit being before he was made flesh; and he was resurrected to a spirit condition—higher than His original one. How foolish we were to think of Jesus as a man (a little lower than angels in the mind of the heavenly host). He is now partaker of the Divine nature; His Church is to be "changed" and made "like Him." As III descent was from a higher to a lower, so II descent was from a lower nature to a higher, "for above angels." He is the exceeding glory which not in man shall ever nor can cause "which not in man shall ever nor can cause It is this good thing whose King down be about to be a child of HA and His church will be as inviting to them as the Nativity and the falling angels.

Speaking of an inferior grade of gasoline that is being put out by the Standard Oil company, A. P. Tone Wilson says in his X-Ray Democrat: "The Kansas Legislature cannot take too much pains in looking into the oil business and especially the method of the Standard Oil company and the 'so-called' gasoline they sell. They put out some junk they call gasoline. It tests from 58 to 60, and contains a deposit of grease and will not burn clean when ignited. It burns like oil and makes black smoke and leaves a heavy ring of grease that will not burn. It will rain your clothing if you try to clean them with it. It will smear the printer's type with grease when you attempt to clean the type with it. It should be made a crime or misdemeanor to putide such junk under the name of gasoline. If the customer complains, the Standard Oil company has a smooth, oily tongued agent who will call and inform you that it can be half grease just so it tests to under the Kansas law, and that the company refuses to pay any damages whatsoever. Now, it is strange to thing that there is no law to reach them. With 125 oil inspectors in Kansas, it is an outrage that people have to take such junk and have it labeled gasoline. It is the duty of every legislature to see to it that there is a stringent law passed as to the junk called gasoline. Gov. Hodges is right, 5 or 6 men are enough for oil inspectors, and see to it that a law is passed that will cut the grim on the Standard Oil company in Kansas." MR. EDWIN L.

One thing to the credit of Mr. O'Neal is that he has the esteem and respect of all classes of voters and especially the colored people because he never betrays them for political purposes or any other Mr. O'Neal is a young man of good business training, a member of the Shawnee county bar and a man who can be trusted.

A Special to the New York Age from Palm Beach, Florida pays "Dressed alike in white sailor suits, and both bare-legged, little 6-year old Vinson Walsh McLean, the 'hundred million dollar baby,' and boun Winbush, she, a little 5-year-old Negro boy, are playing together in the sand in front of the Casino, Palm Beach's most exclusive section. Winbush is the only colored person allowed on this bathing beach. "Mr. and Mrs. Edward B. McFam, parents of Vinson, have arranged to adopt the Winbush child as a playmate and companion for their baby, intending to have their grow up to together. Papers of reimphancement were signed by Mr. and Mrs. John Winbush, Patterson Washington, D.C. by which they give up the child forever. He will be treated exactly the same as the McFam child and he will be fifteen years old. All will be given Mrs. McFam's valet." "Elizabeth told me, in passing about this relation, that he wanted his son to grow up under different conditions than usually surrounded the child of wealth. He wanted Vinni to be fair to his unmarriedness and said that a certain with this healthy, normal, simple-minded New pro child would keep his son mindful of the fact that he is one of the people. Mr. McLean is the only child of John R. McLean, owner of the Cincinnati Enquirie and the Washington Post, and Mrs. McLean is the only surviving child of the late John Walsh, the Western multimillionaire." "And Things Are Not What They Seem." This very often applies to incidents in our lives, as well as to the reality of life, and the slumbering of the soul in Longfellow's beautiful poem, "The Psalm of life." And very unhappily it has applied to mine. Your good friend, and my false one, has made it apply to an incident in my life, you know the time and place, when he caused an impression to be made on you far different from the reality, simply to accomplish his own unsuccessful plans. I simply tolerated him because I knew he was dangerous, and thought he would, when it became known that he was undesirable, opposed us in a business way. But now I have thrown discretion to the winds, and have shown my real colors so much so, that death could not possibly put a greater barrier between us. The greatest injustice that can befall a man or woman is misrepresentation, but "Truth crushed to the earth will rise again." I do not ask for your love, not even your friendship, but there is something I most earnestly crave, and that is your good opinion, which will be more to me than anything else you could give me. Ana for me to ask so small a favor of you is almost pity. You who came into my house without any solicitation on my part and was treated with the greatest of kindness and respect. I have often wondered what your object was, and why did you repay kindness with contempt. Surely you will not believe one whom you yourself would not class with men of integrity and truthfulness. It is all I ask. I need not sign as you know who I am. LINCOLN, NEBR. Mrs. Eva Walker was contend of illness last week. Mr. W. R.

Permit your imagination to wander back to the highly colored stories of scenes in fairyland, and you have the stage setting of the "Grizzly Banquet" which was held at the well appointed home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas C. Lytle, 1719 Harrison street. The Grizzly Bear club, a bunch of royal follows that believe in "living" were entertaining their wives and best girls, and the occasion marked a new touch in Tongkat social history. The whole place was a variable flower garden, and the elaborate rows of the women, whose striking beauty made the two or three bacheors present turn green with envy, was a scene that will never be forgotten. Promptly at 9.30 the lanqueters were ashored into the spacious dining room and seated. Banks of roses, red roses and the rich strains of music were inspiring, and the happy manner in which Chief Grizzly little welcomed the guests—in the whole Grizzly family, made feel free and home like. Here the merriment started, and after each course, the hosts tried their cratural ability, and the flow of enquiry, wit and logic would have made the average, cannalign spell hounder pale with jealousy.

In an case of an end itself to solve the problem which is of paramount importance, in order to acquire the plausible and supreme position of equality among the races of the civilized world? The first successful step is accomplishing a renowned deed whether it is minimum or maximum intensity and collateral value must be in the like association of its units either original or adopted to bring about similarity in strength, durability, beauty and other admirable characters. No theory can be adduced to confront with resutation the intrinsic and extrinsic value derived from intercommunication among people under different regimes. In regard to the social, moral and intellectual opportunities, this desired compact is guided among the dependents of Islam, who are to be found in nearly every part of the world, the subject of various nations. This country can boast of being singular in having a flag under whose shadow inhabitants of every nation such shelter, either from the burning sensation of poverty, or the zero temperature of progress; since she leads the world by leaps and bounds in the progressiveness of every conceivable item for the advancement of a people. But what of the dasky inhabitants of this great country?" Is her progenesis centered on all with equal desire? Is not the line of demarcation drawn with propulsive force at one end and expulsive force at the other? Isn't this a means to antagonize the future glory of a nation? Nevertheless, has its power to support and in all the minds and hearts of our people that unity is strength, not only with that selfish and narrow desire to unite with those of your own nation, but with those of other nations, an intercommunication is conducive to the moral elevation of a people.

Read The Plaindealer and keep up with the times Farm and Garden MANURE FOR THE MELONS. Attempts to Grow Fruit Without Per- Lilizer Are Not Encouraging. The Illinois agricultural experiment station has conducted fertilizer experiments with muskmelons at Aunza, in Union county, and at Kinnundy, in Marion county, for several years. The chief objects of the experiments were to determine the relative efficiency of different amounts of manure and methods of application of manure, the effect of supplementing manure with commercial forms of phosphorus, the effect of using a complete commercial fertilizer in connection with manure and the effect of substituting commercial fertilizer for manure in the production of Gem melons. In both localities the experiments were conducted on typical melon soil of the region, that at Aunza being unglaciated yellow silt loam and that at Kinnundy gray silt loam. Attempts to grow melons without manure were not very encouraging. When the complete commercial fertilizer was used in the hills in place of manure the yields were greatly reduced. This was especially marked in the field T Photograph by Illinois agricultur experien mental plattia. READY FOR THE MARKET. planted crop where many plants were killed outright by the fertilizer and the maturing of the melons was greatly delayed on those that survived. Stormed bone applied to the bills gave full results, but the yields were smaller than from the use of manure in the bills, and some years the plants were "burned" by the fertilizer, especially in the field planted crop. The check plot without manure or fertilizer produced small yields especially in the field planted crop, where the melons also sprout very late. The results of the experiments referred to in this book indicate that the influence of different methods of fertilizing the ma-khelon are more marked upon a seed planted than a transplanted crop, that the most satisfactory results in either crop are likely to be obtained from a moderate amount of well rotted mature in the hibs.

Marsh binds that grow a plentiful supply of succulent grasses are excellent for them, provided such binds are adjacent to higher places where other grasses grow. A mixture of the grass growing in the marsh binds and then on the rough billable makes a better ration for them than either wild alone. In almost every locality there are rough or waste binds that must be cultivated. These might be made profitable if used for pasturing grass. Marsh binds form a supply and only of rich juicy grasses but of small water buffles worms and bugs that grow in such places.
