LIEUTENANT WM. A. BETTIS Delivers the Following Presentation Speech Before the Kansas State Senate March 10th, 1914. For nearly sixty days the Afro-American employees of the State Senate have been sitting in judgment upon one John R. Taylor, sengeant-at arms of the Kansas State Senate, and after most careful consideration and due deliberation we have found him guilty of charges most serious, and while it may be said that we departed from the time-honored custom of American jurisprudence, of giving a defendant an opportunity to be heard in his own behalf, we reply that this is a case demanding his treatment. His actions from time to time before this body have unconsciously turned the evidence for his conviction. He has been charged with fairness and justice to all mankind, and we return a verdict of guilty; he is further charged with believing in an absolute square deal to his fellowmen and upon that count we have also found him guilty; he has also been charged with applying the Golden Rule to his daily life, and with your kind forbearance, we wish to call your attention to the inspired words, which, with other immortal teachings, were enunciated nearly two thousand years ago by the Master, the most beautiful character of all history: "As ye would others do unto you, do you even so unto them." Such is the Golden Rule, we have found him guilty of applying to his daily life, and it is now the judge- ment of the Afro-American employee that he accept this little token of esteem and friendship, and in so doing it is our ardent wish that he consider not the intrinsic value which is only a trifle, but that he fully realize the spirit in which it is offered, carrying with it our earnest and sincere wish that his life will be a long, happy and prosperous one.

Poor old Lunkey has published her last time; he fought her last fight, and when the buzzards are through picking the cannass just a memory of what was will be left. If Cyrus Lindell ever sets foot in Arizona, especially in and around Tucson, Prescott or Globe, he will have a hard time proving that he is an angel in human form. If the "middlemen" were put out of business, transactions the producer and the consumer could divide half of the profit gained by these interlopers and then come out ahead.

Mr. Owens is a bright and intelligent young man, a graduate, and fully competent to fill any position to which he might be elected and I sincerely and truly hope that he and Mrs. Broadus who is in every way fitted, may get together and iron out their differences in a way that one or the other may withdraw from the race. If this is done the people will know just who to vote for in the primaries; otherwise, they will be divided and both candidates will be defeated. I am thankful to say that the people of Hutchinson have learned to support the candidates of their race if competent no matter what their personal attitude may be toward them as was demonstrated last fall when J.

KANSAS THE PLAINDEALER, MAKING THE LITTLE FARM PAY ```markdown ``` Oll city men who seek homes in the country and for farmers of small means who wish to own the land which they till the little farm solves a serious problem of life. The choice of location is important. To get the best results it is necessary to be near at least one good town In modern conditions farming has to be made a business proposition. Even the city man who wishes a restful country home is seldom averse to having his land show a balance of profit. All farming ought to pay better than it does, and the operations of any one owning a small tract of land ought to show what may be realized by applying business methods to agriculture. As land increases in value intensive farming will come more into vogue. The man of ordinary means who is getting started in agriculture must try to make forty acres accomplish what he would have used eighty or a hundred acres for in an earlier day. A study of the market and its methods is a very important matter to be included in the winter course of reading which the farmer maps out for himself. Selling is just as important as raising a crop EVER TRY SWISS CHARD? It's a New Vegetable Here, but It Has Many Good Points. A few years ago Swiss chard was scarcely known in the United States, but it is now grown in thousands of home gardens and is often seen on truck farms and in market gardens. says Professor I. L. Watts in the American Agriculturist. The Italianus of our large cities are especially fond ```markdown ``` Photograph by Long Island agricultural experiment station 80194 CHARD of it, and the demand is increasing among Americans. The leaves are valued when used as greens, and the leaf stems are excellent when cooked and served on toast in the same way as asparagus. The plants are fully as hardy as cabbage or lettuce. In the north it is not uncommon for them to escape injury from cold until severe winter weather begins. In the milder sections the roots may be whitered safely by cutting the plants almost to the ground and matching heavily with straw, strawy manure, pine needles or other material which will prevent alternate freezing and thawing. The seed is usually sown in the open ground where the plants are to stand all summer. Chird is an easy crop to start in hotbeds or greenhouses, transplanting into cold frames and finally into the field. The crop attains a marketable size probably a month earlier if glass is used in starting the plants. These require practically the same treatment in the bottled and the cold frame as cabbage and may be set in the field just as early, provided the plants are properly handled. --- Fresh Manure is Best. When the fact is considered that it takes nearly two tons of fresh barn yard moisture to make one ton of rotted manure, owing to loss by evaporation and leaching it may be seen that much of the fertilizing matter originally contained is lost in the rotting process and that when tosh there are more tons and so more fertilizing material to make use of. --- Use For an Old Buggy Wheel. A very good way to use an old buggy wheel is to attach it on an axle at the outside of a long farm gate so that it will roll when the gate is opened either way. It will keep the gate from sagging and help to make it open and shut easily. - 8 arm Journal By C. C. BOWSFIELD It is easy to vary this program by raising a span of colts each season and producing a quantity of fruit, vegetables, honey, etc. A farmer can accom plish as much on forty acres by such diversification as he can with grain crops or a dairy on 100 or even 200 acres. On a place of forty acres in the Chicago district one season's profits above family expenses were: Poultry and eggs ..... $400 Fruit and vegetables ..... $90 Grain and hay ..... $500 Twenty-five hays ..... $450 Span of horses ..... $275 Honey from silken hives ..... $165 In the latter illustration there is no dairy. This feature involves more hard and constant labor than any other, but with the question of help settled a dairy of ten or twelve cows is a good thing. Pork raising is profitable. I have found tape, artichokes and carrots valuable crops for hogs. The artichoke is especially hardy and prolific, providing an early molt fodder. Late in the season a field of penns is a good thing, just before the finishing up with corn. Hogs thrive nicely on alfalfa or any kind of clover. It pays to get skim milk or whey from the factories and table garbage from dwellings or hotels. Poultry as well as pigs do well on this kind of feed. I have raised hogs to 850 or 800 pounds at ten months at a cost of $5 or less. It is very essential to make money, but it should not be done at a sacrifice of the fertility that is in the land. The thing to do is to raise crops that will enrich the land at the same time as they enrich the farmer DON'T LOSE YOUR LABOR! Planting Impure and Poor Alfalfa Seed Maans Time and Work Gone. It won't be long now until farmers begin to plant alfalfa, and wouldn't they like to know whether it is pure? Only one thing on earth will settle that doubt, and that is to test the seed—the best seed obtainable. The testing can be done at home too. It takes only a simple apparatus, consisting of two pieces of dandelor or of blotting paper about six inches square, between which are placed 100 seeds. The whole, placed between two plates, should be kept moist, but not "sopping" wet, and the seeds which have sprouted counted every day. At the end of six days the total number of sprouted seeds will represent fairly well the germinating power of the sample. Good alfalfa seed should give a percentage of at least 50. Does the simple contain a large number of brown seeds? If so it would be safer not to use it. The brown seeds may sprout in the apparatus just described, but tall ones to make plants when put in the ground out of doors. Many farmers sow screenings or seed which is little better than screenings and try to make up for lack of quality by doubling the quantity. This may do well enough where land is cheap but there is too much danger anywhere of getting a poor stand or sowing the land with weeds-Kansas State Agricultural College Device For Pulling Saplings For removing bushes and small trees the device illustrated herewith has proved very satisfactory. It consists of a fire or six foot stick of round, tough wood such as hickory and was three inches in diameter with a singletree at tapped at one end and a trace chain at the other. The chain is passed around the sapling and hooked to the pole. While a horse pulls the roots are cut with an ax on the opposite side, and soon the tree comes out with a rush - American Agriculturist.

The Lincoln Annual conference of the M E church, which convened in St John Chapel on Wednesday, Mar. 5th, was a marked success. The attendance was good. Coffeyville, Parsons, Cherryvale, and all interurban cities were well represented. Bishop Robert McIntyre, in a very dignified manner, presided over the conference. Mrs. Capitola Boyd, a very faithful Christian and a member of the Second Baptist church, died last Wednesday, March 5, in the full triumph of the faith. Her funeral was preached on Friday by Rev. C Teal, pastor of Second Baptist church. Meidham Carr and Cross were up from Coffeyville last week attending the M. H. conference. Mrs. Mary Holt of Cherryvale, was a constant visitor at the Lincoln conference last week. Mrs. Willie Smith and Mrs. Lee of Cherryvale, were visitors at the Lincoln conference last Friday, and were the guests of Mrs. I. H. Montgomery. Bishop McIntyre preached a powerful sermon at the First Methodist church last Sunday morning from the text: "Our Father who art in heaven." The pulpit of Quinn chapel church was filled by the following divines, namely Rev. G. T. Woodson, at 11 a.m.; Rev. R. D. Gatewood, at 3 p.m.; and Rev. David Bruce, at 7:30 p.m., and the three delivered splendid and soul-inspiring sermons. The revival services at the A. M. E. church closed down last Tuesday, the 4th, in courtesy to the M. E. conference, to resume again after adjournment of the conference, but will run for a few days only. Miss Mary Jett left last Thursday for an extended visit to Yinita, Okla. Mrs. Coleman Sherells of Cherryvale, attended conference last Sunday in this city. Miss Annie Fowling, Messrs. I. K. Knox, Earl Sevier and Abie Knox were in the city Monday, on business. Out-of-town visitors here Sunday were Misses Ida May Dawson, Lida Counce and Simpson of Coffeyville. Miss Willie Montgomery was visiting friends in Coffeyville Sunday. Mrs. Warten gave a musical at Cherryvale Thursday night. Miss Pearl Montgomery entertained a few friends from Parsons last Sunday. Miss Lodie Pruitt has been on the sick list the past week. Rev.

Miss Jesse Napier and Mrs. Minne Adkins spent a few days in Depew with relatives and friends. Mr. L. H. Fowler left for Coffeyville, Kas, on the 10th, where he will spend a few weeks. Mrs. W. Woodrick is on the sick list and fails to improve. Mr. H. Fowler has been slightly indoressed this week STRONG CITY, KAS. Rev. Wm. E. Harrison, D. D., after pastoring the Second Baptist church for five years and ten months, voluntarily offered his resignation as pastor of the church. He read it twice, a month apart, before the church took any action; and then only right out of thirty-five voted to accept it. The Dr. was asked why he desired to resign and he replied that he thought it for the best; that some of the members were tired of him. We have never had a more peaceful time in the history of the church than during the time of Dr. Harrison's pastorate. He has broken the record, staying much longer than any of his predecessors. He is an able gospel preacher, just promoted to the honored merited title of "D D," conferred on him by Printon University, Vincennes, Ind. During these five years and more we, the members of the church and citizens of Strong City, sustain no immorality against Dr. Harrison, who stands to highly recommend him to the confidence of any church. An excellent recommendation followed him from the Second Baptist church of Harrisonville, Mo., where he pastored prior to his coming here. We are very glad that we are able to do the same when he leaves us. He delivered his good by sermon Sunday, the third being the Sunday in the other soul-stirring sermon was delivered. followed by shaking of hands. A good collection was given him. H. LEVELS, W. S.

LEWIS.) Chicago, Ill., March 11.—When Col. John R. Marshall of the 8th Illinois National Guard, made a special trip to Tuskegee Institute, Ala., only a few of his friends knew his mission. The public afterwards learned that he went to personally direct a photographer with the purpose of having the various activities of this world famed institution taken for moving pictures. Now, it has developed that the Anderson-Watkins Film company is incorporated under the laws of the state of Illinois, obtaining the exclusive right for taking, developing, and exhibiting moving pictures and scenes of the famous Tuskegee Institute, and its principal, Dr. Booker T. Washington. The subject of the "movies" is "A Day at Tuskegee." These pictures comprise 4,000 feet in reels of 1,000 feet each, containing a complete story in moving pictures, the colossal buildings, the institute regiment and band. In order to give the pictures a formal "send off" the management will have Dr. Booker T. Washington to appear on the night of the exhibition, April 1, at Orchestra hall on Michigan avenue. There will also be present, to make short talks, Mr. Julius Rosenwal, the famous philanthropist, Dr. Lilla Flagg Young, superintendent of public schools of Chicago, Dean Angell, of the Chicago University, George E. Cole, the Chicago publicist, George H. Packard, the distinguished lawyer, Mrs. Cea Parker Wooley, of the Frederick Douglass Center, Mr. Lessing Rosenthal, president of the Chicago Voters' league, Dr. Harry Pratt Judson, president of the Chicago University, Dr. George C.

In the opinion of a current writer, there are three varieties of farmers—the new farmer, who is the progressive business agriculturist; the old farmer, once up with his times, the pioneer with a wholesome love of work, but little ability as an administrator, and the mossback or the old farmer who has gone to seed, who does not love work and is hopelessly lost in modern competition. He is a drag upon the progress of agriculture and an obstruction in the wheels of the country community organization. The new farmer will take care of himself, and the old farmer and the mossback are rapidly disappearing, but the extension idea is the idea of taking to them the inspiration and help that the new farmers can give.—Country Gentleman --- TOOLS FOR THE FARMER. Save Money, Time and Temper by Hawne the Bronze Equipment Having the Proper Equipment. Every farmer should keep good tools so that during bad weather, when work cannot be done in the fields, repairs may be made. This work can be done in the shop. A small shop may be built cleanly. There are many repairs that will be needed during the year. Buildings will need repairs, implements need fishing fence materials are to be cut and put up, new devices, handy, continuances etc., made. A man handy with tools can save much expense during the year, and the tools will give him employment when perhaps his time would not be profitable otherwise. Boys usually find pleasure in using carpenters' tools. glueing department of the University of Minnesota gives the following list of tools that the average farmer should have: square, rule, rip saw, mullet, hammer, oilstone, hand saw, wood tasp, jack plane, drawknife, ratchet torce, screwdriver, squarceive binder, marking gauge, chisels-half, one and one and a half inch; bits-one quarter, three eighths, one half, five eighths and three quarter inch. The best plan is to buy good tools. Cheap tools will seldom give satisfaction. Then the tools should be kept in a tool box in the shop or some place where they can be protected. Whenever you have finished with one always but it back in its place. Tools to be truly serviceable must be kept sharp. So progressive person can afford to waste time using dull tools. They should also be polished and kept bright. -Patm and Ranch GETS THEM BY THE LEGS. This Hog Catcher Is the Work of an Old Time Practical Blacksmith. I am an old time blacksmith and have made a good many dog catchers like that in the picture, says a correspondent of Iam and Ileside, from which paper cut and description are reproduced.

Make them about eight inches long. from tibet to eye in end of handle One handle has a socket as illustrated Fasten a half inch rope in the eye by making a knot in end, then push the other end through the second eye This rope should be as long as the pole, which is from twelve to sixteen feet.

Pull the handle or pole out of the socket and draw the dog toward you. Have You a Colt? If the colt is bred right and handled right he does not need to be broken. He breaks himself. If the owner is on proper terms with his mares and he gives handling the colt when they are quite young and if they are bred of draft type the matter of breaking them is not a question of breaking at all, but one of education. A colt can be educated just the same as a boy. It can be done by the use of the birthing or a hickory stalk. If births are used a good colt will develop into a good horse, just as a good but will develop into a good man. If the club is used good cannot be expected from either.--Kansas Patrol Keeping Calves Well Hedded. The stomach of the little calf is very sensitive and easily injured.

A busy man can make such a trough or trough, cut in an hour or so - Park Progress KANSAS CITY, KAN. Mr. John K. Frel, is a candidate for city commissioner of Kansas City. He has chosen the department of water and light, as the position he wants and feels the best qualified to fill. The following is his platform: The following is his platform: Extension of water mains to all parts of the city. Laterals for fifty feet beyond curb along the same lines as Gas Company. Electric light wires to be furnished by the city free of charge. He has been in business about nine years in the plumbing and heating line. He is a fine mechanic, a master in his line. He was employed by the United Steel company for twenty years and six months as a constructing engineer so that it can be seen that he is thoroughly qualified to handle the affairs of the position in which he seeks election. The water and light plants of the city are a valuable piece of property in these plants are installed many thousand dollars worth of valuable machinery, also there are miles and miles of mains and wire, all of which require skill and constant attention for its management and care. A man with the experience of Mr. Pidol is an ideal man for the place and should be supported by all classes. Mr. A. R. James is in the race in Kansas City for commissioner of streets and public improvements. Mr. James is engaged in the feed and lime business in which he meets and deals with all classes, the rich, the poor, the people of leisure and the laboring people. He is respected and held in high esteem by all. He has sold material to contractors and public improvement men and had much experience in building and public improvements of all kinds. In selecting the position of commissioner of streets and public improvements he wisely chose the place for which he is best qualified to serve the public. Mr. James is in the prime of life, is careful and reliable and a hustler. His business life has been crowned with success and his public life will be like his private life if chosen to this position. Kansas city is a rapidly growing city, metropolitan in its nature, and needs men capable and up to the times to manage its municipal affairs. Mr. James is an ideal man for this place at this period in the affairs of this city. He never turns backward but always moves forward and upwards to higher and better things. With the board of commissioners of his high standing and business caliber, Kansas city will continue to grow and prosper. Politics at the mouth of the law is warming up and will be very likely are the 21st of March calls around Among those now candidates for office is Mr. James L. Biggs, who is a candidate for Commission of Parks. Mr. Biggs has lived in Kansas City and Kansas for many years. He has always been a very public spotted gentleman and taken a lively interest in every thing looking to the betterment and beautification of Kansas City. He early was an advocate of Public Parks, and believes they are a great benefit to the people, not only as a means of adding to the beauty of the city but for affording a place for the people and the children to go for recreation and rest. He is a successful business man and will take into public life the same careful methods, he adopts in private life. We hope that the people of Kansas City will select him as one of the commissioners and believe he will prove to be a valuable man, to them in the management of their affairs. Mr. B. R Collins, famously known as "Bargam Berry," the poor man's friend, is a candidate for a place on the city commission of Kansas City. Mr. Collins has been in the grocery business for nine years during which time he has done more to keep down the price of living in the grocery line, than any other man in Kansas City, Kansas. During eight of those years he has been located at his present location, 1721 Quandatto Boulevard. During all this time he has been content with the smallest profits and by honest and fair dealing with all his made friends of his customers and customers of his friends. He thorough knowledge of the arts enables him to buy cheaper than other materials and to sell cheaper than the majority of his competition. His place is always kept clear of a temporary variation and is offered for sale except the sales and motte. When he entered the house he was forced to hurry down and not only paid that back, but how own a true problem. Mrs. A. M. Pope—Turnbo Results of "Poro" Treatment.

Here is a real success and live wife in the business and commercial world asking to be elected as one of the managers of the public business. He is willing to be judged by his work and by his record and standing in the community as a merchant and man.

All the great industries be- giding on live stock are advancing It is a conservation subject of great importance, for with it we can appeal to a large part of our principle. Nearly 40 per cent. of the first portions of the corn crop of this country is now wasted by the use of the silo this could be saved and used as living stock of millions of dollars would be added to our national wealth. In the past seven years in great stress the infancy of the United States in comparison with our present state has been showing a decline.

Progressive Farmer "The Lawing of the Kine." The dairy cow should not be required to drink water that a person would be unwilling to drink himself. A good tank heater for the cow drinking water and a sheltered place for the tank, save feed and make more milk. After the first week of sleeping and raising the young calf should be allowed to exercise freely in the open air in order to develop muscular, lungs and breast. A concrete floor is the only kind that will ensure perfect drainage for the cows nesting room. It will also help to keep the curing room cool to hot weather and warm to cold weather. Be careful about feeding last steps to the cattle. Clearly feeding of this material is somewhat dangerous, as it leads to purge animals. Rest in the feed quantities and with other foods. Probably no single cause tends more to check milk secretion than the fallure to remove all the milk of the tree of milking, as it flushed a cow's milk. The pressure of even a little milk in the tubes may act as a powerful check on the secretion of fresh milk.

Frank Wakely Gansaulus, pastor of Central Church, the largest independent congregation in Chicago, is a very versatile and erudite preacher. He will posted on so many subjects, that we are want to say of him, as told with says of the school-master in his 'Deserted Village' And still they gared and still the wonder grew. But one small beil could carry all he know. Whether it be examining art in the galleries of Europe, passing judgment on Japanese sculptures, bettering condition in Chicago, or preaching the Gospel, he is considered an authority. Perhaps as much as any other preacher, he is called upon to speak on topics of civic betterment and to address chalumanes throughout the country. As a lecturer he is well with art. His greatest subjects are Sayen mold, Becher, and John Arnold. Next to his nummeral work, he better perhaps, going art in hand with it, it his interest in the Armour technological Institute, with its thousands of students, ranking as it does with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

But whether it be the one of the other, he carries his influence along with him, and so great he becomes his fame that but few visit the world, city without going to hear him. Perhaps, the greatest authority on pastoral ever goshen is Dr. Charles L. Goodell, pastor of the largest Methodist church in the world—Calvary Methodist Church at New York City. Dr. Goodell lives, his tenth year in this parish and has seen the growth of his membership from 1,500 to over 1,200. He is a profound believer in the word of God, and all its promises. He is an expositor of the Bible and it literal truth, when I believe is the art of great success. He is not like so many preachers who preach from the word of God apologetically, but there what their little note runs can grasp. An example in the life of Dr. Goodell will illustrate his unfaltering trust in God's word which says, 'And I, if I be lifted up will go / all men to me.' At one of his meetings the good Doctor was telling his congregation that the blood of Jesus could save and lift to the highest plane of Christianity in the silvester. When he passed an argument I asked the congregation and asked him in God will see the salvation of he. When answered that it was true, the man expressed such doubt that Dr. Goodell stepped forward, and with great earnestness said, 'My brother, if you will meet the conditions, and God does not save you, I will never preach again.' All that might this preacher prayed that God might reward his faith. During the whole of the next day, Dr. Goodell, who was earnest in his statement, kept in touch with God, for he was determined if his prayers were not answered, he would never preach again. When the time for his evening service came, Dr. Goodell went to his church but would not enter his pulpit. Among his people he did not see the stranger's face. After several anxious minutes had passed, the door was suddenly flung open, and the stranger with flushed cheeks and preparing brow rushed in crying, 'My car broke down, and I ran all the rest of the way. You may go ahead and preach, for you were right. He may saved me.' It is such faith as this that wins. "Mr. Goodall holds one month's vance before services each year. He is now engaged, for in those notting, when he opened the doors of his church, 'all were added to his remount him in a single day. "Of the many great preachers of my own church, it is rather hard to tome one in a type, but I believe that a good representative would be the present head of my own Episcopal Diocese, the interpriate leader, Bishop H. B. Parks, D.D. This prelate is not gained his reputation as a great preacher since his elevation to the Episcopacy, but as a pastor in our Western country and as the Secretary of the Mission Board, he became known throughout the church. One might liken him to the Beecher type, for his sermons abound in beautiful word pictures that thrill the imaginations of his hearers, storms of eloquence that sweep one irresistibly along, or some little touching incident that will bring the tears to the eyes of all. In almost every sermon that he preaches one will be plunged into the depths of deepest thought, or raised to the heights of extacy. As I said, he is a fair type of our own preachers, and I believe that the Beecher type may be waning in the white palps of today, yet one can and much of that type in the Negro churches, still. "Perhaps it would not be well to lose this paper without mentioning a couple of preachers who are occupying the purely evangelistic field. One I shall mention who has a national reputation, and another whose preaching has been heard around the world. "Dilly Sunday, the one time ball player is putting as much life into its patting of the Gospel, as he ever put into his work on the diamond. And the cathusiasm which brought victory to his team in sport, being now sanctioned to the Lord, is hanging in wonderful victory for fool. As some particularly brilliant day could call forth a shout from the teachers and grandstand then, so, some particularly effective pass with the sword of the spirit brings a hout of joy from the soldiers of the Flag. Sunday in his unique way is musing consternation in the hosts of an, and in the evangelistic field is indeed one of the great preachers of the present day. "Gypsy Smith, another great evangelist, who fame I, perhaps greater on the other side of the world than this, is somewhat less spectacular than Sunday in his mode of address, and yet as with the other, there is an armeness and directness in his manner that is at once both conventive and irresistible. vast multitudes in Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and America, have heard him preach the spirit of Christ, and perhaps more people have been moved by his eloquence than any other living preacher. *I have named these few of the great preachers of the present day, and I have found in the study of their lives, that they are all profound believers in the whole word of God. They have unbound faith in God and hence are used tattoo by Him. With Charles Wesley, worn in body and feebled by sickness, they can sing. Quicken my mortal frame." MAY TAYLOR FOR MAYOR!
