Oklahoma Judge and Attorney Consult Constitution in Dispute Over Term. Tulsa, Okla., July 23.—By what the name the Oklahoma constitution officially refers to the Negro, was the subject of an exciting colloquy between TOPEKA. KANSAS. FRIDAY MORNING JULY 25. 1913. Assistant County Attorney Nat Ligon and Judge M. A. Breckenridge of the superior court in open court today. Ligon was prosecuting Henry Randolph, a Negro, for murder in Judge Breckenridge's court and persisted in referring to the defendant as a "nigger." Judge Breckenridge commanded him to stop, declaring he must use either the term "Negro" or "colored man" as provided in the Oklahoma constitution. Ligon insisted the black man was termed a "nigger" in the statute constitution and a copy of the document was sent for. It sustained the court's contention. Both Ligon and Breckenridge are Southern men. WELCOME ADDRESS Knights and Daughters Tabor Receive Hearty Cheer at Parsons. A MASTERPIECE OF ELOQUENCE! Delivered by Sir Knight S. O. Clayton at the Twenty-Second Annual Grand Session of the International Order of Twelve Held at Parsons, Kans., July 8-12, 1913. Most Wotty Grand Mentor, Most Esteemed Chief Preceptress, officers and members of the twenty-second annual grand session of the International Order of Twelve of Kansas and Nebraska Jurisdiction: The duty that is mine this evening is one that is held with Sacred Jealously, the honor that is conferred upon me by Moses Dixon Temple No. 12, Silver Leaf Tabernacle No. 28, and their subordinate branches is one that shall never be forgotten, nor cease to be cherished while memory clings to those events of my life which are dear to my heart. I do not hesitate to say that it is not the good office of every man to thus be honored, although he may live out an extended lifetime beyond the allotted Three-Score Years and Ten. I hold that it is my good pleasure to extend this most cordial welcome to one of the most August bodies of men and women known throughout the states of Kansas and Nebraska. I come to welcome in our midst and to our homes one of the most worthy organizations of this country—an organization whose spiritual, social, educational, financial and moral uplift is sanctioned not only in the West but throughout the great commonwealth of America. Chief Grand Mentor, Chief Grand Preceptress, Sir Knights and Duaghters, we might justly be counted insanely inconsistent and worshipers of petty society constructions were there not profound, wholesome, righteous and just fundamental principles underlying all and that gives us unquestionable cause extending to you this most hearty greeting. Fraternal love, universal liberty, and justice are the noble triumvirate that palpitate the heart, fire the blood and renew the tissues of this grand order that you represent here this evening. Fraternal love, against corrupted and polluted selfishness, which lurks in the night of its own hideous nature and tramples upon the bleeding hearts of its hapless victims. Universal liberty in opposition to that system of thraddom that paralyzes the better forces of nature and thrusts upon us a maddened and deprived people. Justice rather than the evil of unjust measure and unrewarded merit. The height, the depth, the width, the proportion of your work performed in the past and your purposes yet to materialize are not to be measured by the narrow conception of the carping critic. The fair-minded and observing people everywhere ac- knowledge that the work being done by the International Order of Twelve is of no small magnitude and far-reaching in its nature. With organizations as with individuals, only those who succeed over opposition are worthy of special note. The past history of this orderis ablaze with the record of golden achievements obtained by ceaseless efforts and unalloyed fidelity. The Taborian army is numbered by its thousands and has set the world to vibrating with the unison of its forward movement—an army of Taborian knights and daughters going forth to conquer the world, not with the bayonet, but with love. We welcome you again because you have clothed the poor wanderer and encouraged him along his journey. You have fed the hungry, you have cooled the fevered brow of the sick, you have been husband to the widow, a father to the fatherless, a mother to the motherless. You have hushed the cry of distress and wiped away the tears of sorrow. During your too brief stay among us we will guard you with unfaltering vigilance. Our hearty "ha, ha" will mingle with your merry laughter and with one common interest we shall fight against those dangers seen and unseen that may seek to mar your pleasure. There shall be no days too long nor nights too dark to keep us from responding to your wishes. And finally, Sir Knights and Daughters, when the evening of life is nearing its close and the past is rolled back like a scroll and when the Taborian bells are pealing forth their sweetest chimes, may the welcome we offer you be the sweetest strain of that Heavenly creation. Again, we bid you a thousand welcomes to all of ours that is best. EMPORIA, KANS Miss Mayme Elliott left last week for a month's stay in the resorts of Colorado.

T PLAY FOR PROFIT FOR ALL KANSANS "Joy Week" for the State is Sept. 8 to 12---A Crowd of 200,000 People Expected in Topeka. Greatest State Fair Kansas Has Ever Been Is to Take Place in Topeka Amusement Features of Un- paralleled Quality and Cost. The State Fair, Topeka, aside from its wealth of exhibits in every de- partment, is to be a great, Celebration, a Festival, a Vacation, a Recreation. The Kansas State Fair Association, recognizing the demand of the people for more freedom, more joy, more life and more pleasure to sweeten the busy cares of the time, will supply this demand at the great exposition to be held at Topeka, September 8 to 12. The management of the State Fair, Topeka, regards a great Fair as an institution that must be accompanied with clean, wholesome amusement. It is so with other organizations, and why not a great State Fair? The universities have their fraternities, their entertainments and their athletic games. The common schools have their playgrounds which are just as necessary in the child's physical well being as are the books and teachers in his educational advancement. The churches have their social functions. Lodges and other organizations hold and increase their membership through the series of entertainments that interest and amuse everywhere, serious work is closely connected with inspiring play. At the State Fair, Topeka, in September, it is expected that more than 200,000 Kansas will gather to seek information, to rub elbows with their fellows, look upon the wonderful accomplishments to be reflected in their exhibits of Kansas products, and to enjoy the varied amusement offerings. "Old Mexico—1847," the greatest pyro-spectacle ever witnessed in the West, will be shown each evening during the Fair. No other entertainment feature could have been secured that would so delight and interest the visitors. This wonderfully realistic production vividly portrays the storming and capture of the fortress Chapultepec by the American troops under the command of General Win field Scott. The musical features will eclipse all former offerings. Great bands and orchestras will enliven every hour of State Fair week at Topeka. Many shows and features now being arranged for will add to the list of entertainments that are certain to make the State Fair at Topeka memorable in its amusement attractions. THE CAPITAL CITY. Topeka, the capital of the state, is a city of fifty thousand people, with hotels ample for accommodating thousands of visitors, and entered by four large trunk line railways: The Union Pacific, Santa Fe, Rock Island and Missouri Pacific—all having commodious depots. Switching facilities to and within the fair grounds. MISSION OF STATE FAIR. The mission of the Kansas State Fair Association is to encourage better agriculture, horticulture, stock raising and manufacturing. It induces men to think and urges them to put forth better efforts for intelligent farming and stock breeding. It is the place for those who have learned the lesson well to demonstrate results. EVERYBODY SATISFIED. "Get the Habit of Attending the State Fair at Topeka," has become a popular expression by all citizens who attended last year. It is a way they have of telling their neighbors about the most complete exhibition of agricultural, live stock, horticultural and other products ever seen in the middle west. STATE FAIR MUSIC. Visitors to the State Fair at Topeka will be regaled with music morning till night and supper to train time, by the best bands obtainable. Nothing so completely rounds out a day of sight seeing and entertainment as does good music. GREAT EXHIBIT OF MACHINERY. One of the great features of the State Fair at Topeka will be the machinery exhibit, where all the modern farm implements and machinery will be displayed by the largest machine houses in the West. Five days' racing at the State Fair at Topeka, September 8 to 12, will be appreciated. Many of the fastest horses in the country will go in these races. Big program every day.

Everybody loves a good horse, especially a race horse, and Kansans, more than any other people, delight in these great speed contests. At the State Fair, Topeka, September 8 to 12, the speed ring every day will be the center of attraction. The greatest races by the best horses in the country will be pulled off daily. This great speed contest on Topeka's fine track will fully repay every Kansan who attends the great State Fair. The people of this county and section of the State should begin making preparations to attend the State Fair at Topeka. It would be fine for us to organize and go in a body to this, the biggest show and the greatest amusement center of Kansas, this year. Why not take hold and let our county lead in a great display of its products? Why not show the balance of the people of Kansas who are going to Topeka for their annual outing, that this county stands in the front in its products, including its representative men and women and its bright and beautiful children? While the country will show its finest racing horses as they spin over Topeka's fine track, let us load up several coach loads of our people and how our neighbors of other counties the kind of men and women that are making of this section a veritable garden spot.

Let's organize, let's "get together" and spend the week of September 8 to 12 at the State Fair, Topeka. We need to have one good time; one fine outing this year, and Topeka, our capital city, is the place to have it. Who will take the lead in organizing for the trint ONE GREAT FAMILY ONE GREAT FAMILY Kansans Bound Together by Tie of State Pride—Great "Get- Together" Meeting at State Fair, Topeka. We Kansans are one great family. The tie that binds us is state pride. Our fortunes are linked in the one purpose of building here a state that will fully reflect our industry, energy, progressive spirit and high class citizenship. Topeca, the Capital city, through the State Fair bids every Kansan come to the State Fair, September 8 to 12, and make it a week of pleasure and profit. There are thousands of citizens in the state, and many thousand women and children who never have visited their Capital city. They should come once each year and spend a day among the interesting things to see in the state house, and they should see the new Memorial hall and other public buildings in which every Kansan has an interest. There is no better time or season for this visit to the Capital city than at the close of the promised bountiful harvest when the products of the farm and factory are spread out before you The "get together" spirit is a good thing for Kansas people. Let it be statewide, and let the week of September 8 to 12, mark the initial justice and homecoming that shall be held annually at the State Fair at Topeka. STATE FAIR GROUNDS, TOPEKA, EASY TO REACH.

We note by the telegraph that one Hobson wants to pension ex-rebel soldiers. Is he crazy or just making a little play to the gallery? If he wants to commit a humane and Christian act, let him introduce a bill in Congress to pension all ex-slaves who have reached the age of 65 and over. The blacks gave the best days of their lives to the service and care of the white slave holders and now in the evening of a life of privation and toil, they should receive a small pittance from the government to keep them from poverty and want. Now, let some of our Congressmen who want to see justice and fair play predominate, introduce a bill of this character. HORTON, KANSAS.

He was very successful and sees nothing but success for his people in the eastern and southeastern parts of the state. While in Coffeyville he met our people working hard and branched out into all business capacities of the business world. He visited the Union Grocery company under the management of Mr. Love, who does nothing but business in a business way and takes care of his customers with interest, as well as himself. Here he met Judge Kirkpatrick. His office always has a client in it looking for information pertaining to business of some kind.
