Fifteenth Year. No. 37. The Baptists Will THROUGH THE MANAGER Mr. Griffin Meets a Out in t MR. HARRY DARBY, A Prominent and Successful Business Man of Kansas City, Kansas. THE MISSOURI BOILER WORKS. The Missouri Boiler Works are the largest in the West. In this factory boilers, smoke stacks, breechings, tanks of all kinds, smoke connections, water towers, boiler fropts, grate iron and castings of all kinds and for all purposes are manufactured, and when desired, these things are installed by the company. They have a large trade in Kansas City, and in other parts of the state and country and across the line with their neighbors in Missouri. In addition to the manufacturing business, they do all kinds of mechanical repair work and in all lines give good satisfaction and guarantee the product of their factory. Mr. Harry Darby has been in the business for twenty years and is the president of this company. He is a member of the Commercial club and is in every way a live wire, and whether working for himself, his company or the people of the city or state, he is the same careful, capable and active man. He is the finest type of a gentleman. We seldom meet men or more highly polished or genteel. He is one of Kansas City's most successful business men. He is unassuring and pleasing in manner, a man easy to approach, and one of a magnetic personality. Persons having need of anything in this company's life should figure with them before purchasing elsewhere, and when Kansas City they should call at the factory and meet Mr. Darby. MR W. P. FIRSTENBERGER, Who Will Be the Next Postmaster of Kansas City, Kansas. The Choice of the Peoule of Kansas City, Kansas, for Postmaster. The entire population of Kansas City, Kansas, is agog over the question who is to be their next postmaster. They want a practical business man and not a politician, one who will set a high standard for efficiency and polite, quick service. One man who has offered himself for this place seems possessed of all these requirements, and that man is Mr. W. P. Firstenberger. He has been identified with the business interests of Kansas City, Kansas, for many years, and is now engaged in the gents' clothing and furnishing business, and for years has been a successful business man, a large property owner and heavy taxpayer. He is a member of the Commercial club, working at all times to bring new industries to Kansas City. He is an upright, conscientious and successful man in his dealings with those with whom he comes in contact. The people of Kansas City have centered their forces and influence in his behalf and are loyally furthering his candidacy. He is an ardent and lifelong Democrat and is a strong supporter of Senator Thompson, who is supporting him for the nomination. It in Congressman Taggart's duty to fall in line with the people and assist in securing the appointment for them of the man of their choice. In our rude and inquiries we find that the sentiment for Mr. Firstenberger growing. We have met many people from his section of the state where he was born and they claim that his word is as good as his bond, we believe that there is no other man any better qualified to fill that responsible position, or will give any better satisfaction to the government and the parents of the office than Mr. Firstenberger. HON. E. L. HINET, SHERIET OF WYANDOTTE COUNTY. The present sheriff of Wyandotte county, Hon. R. L. Hinet, is one of the leading Democrats of the state. He has lived in Wyandotte county for many years and has been in business there for twenty years. He conducted a restaurant in Kansas City, Kus. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER 12, 1913. office. In his private life he was a successful business man, making his business pay, always conducting a clean, up-to-date place and catering to the best people. In politics, Mr. Hinet has always been a Democrat, and in season and out in defeat and success for the party has ever been the same consistant Democrat. He added much strength to the ticket last fall, by being the party nominee, and the fact that he was on the ticket, went a long way towards carrying the county for the state ticket and other nominees. He is a capable, ideal public officer and makes a good sheriff. He is unassuming and easy to approach and makes friends wherever he is and in whatever line of endeavor he happens to be engaged. Socially, he is one of the best good fellows and one whom every one seems to admire and respect. He has his undersheriff, Mr. John A. Wolfe. Mr. Wolfe has had much experience in the sheriff's office and his appointment was well considered and a popular one from all standpoints. MR. J. T. TYLER, TREASURER OF ALLEN COUNTY. Mr. John T. Tyler, who has conducted the Iola Business College for many years will soon take up the duties of this office to which he was elected last fall. Mr. Tyler is one of the best known men in Allen county, and equally well liked. He is a leading Democrat and was elected last fall to this important office by a vote which was a testimonial to his ability and standing in the community as a man and Democrat. He is a new man so far as office holding is concerned, but not new to the people of Allen county, as practically every one is acquainted with him. The treasurer's office during his administration is sure to be ably conducted. He will have no trouble in furnishing a number of thousand dollar bond. Mr. Tyler is all right and the people close ved when they elected him to that important office. FRANK R. FORRESL, COUNTY ATTORNEY OF ALLEN COUNTY. Hon. Frank R. Forrest, the Democratic county attorney of Allen county is one of the bright and able young lawyers of the state. He is a Democrat and in politics as well as other business is an active and energetic young man. He is a fine and successful lawyer and a case winner and is making a fine record as county attorney for Allen county. He was elected by a good majority and well merits the confidence reposed in him by the people of Allen county. We think he has a good future before him and predict great things for him. DR. J. A. MILLIGAN, GARNETT. While in Garnett we met Dr. J. A. Milligan, chairman of the commission on sanitation, who was reap- [Name] pointed by Gov. Hodges. Dr. Milligan was the state senator from Linn and Anderson counties in the sessions of 1909 and 1911 and although a Republican, Gov. Hodges showed excellent judgment in appointing him to this important place. He is a fine physician, a man of fine personality, in the prime of life, active, pleasing to meet, capable and honest. Dr. Milligan is just the man for the position he holds. He is a credit to the state, to the state administration and to his party. The Governor and Dr. Milligan served in the same legislature and though they are opposed politically they are the best of friends and each acquainted with the ability and qualifications of the other. The Doctor is a diplomat, a fine gentleman and one of those persons who though strenuously opposed to you, can do so in a nice manner, and does not think everyone opposed him is either a fool or crazy. In the legislature he and the Governor while each representing their districts in the senate, were many times directly opposed to each other, but the Governor had a good chance to judge the man and was quick to see that the Doctor was an able physician and legislator, a good business man having great executive ability not only as a physician but in general lines. Appointments of this kind which seem to be characteristic of this administration are some of the elements which contribute to make it so well thought of at this time by the people of Kansas. HON. J. C. MOON, GARNETT. If the present registrar of deeds, J. C. Moon, is one of the leading young Democrats of Anderson county. He is in the prime of life, an honest capable young man. He won out in the election last fall by a large vote and stands well with all classes, regardless of politics. He is a fine business man, attends carefully to the duties of the office to which he has been elected and is giving the people a splendid administration of that office. We are glad to see young men like him come to the front and know from our acquaintance with him that he is deserving, and won on merit and ability. If the Democratic party would always present nominees such as Mr. Moon to the people, they would be more successful along all lines. We predict that this young man will be often heard from, and always in an honorable and civil table manner in the future as he has been in the past. We wish him every success in life and commend him to all who may have occasion to meet him or have business with him, and when the voters see his name printed on the ticket as a candidate for any office they may rest assured that they will make no mistake if they support him. HON. AMOS BECKER, SHERIFF OF ANDERSON COUNTY. Hon. Amos Becker, the present sheriff of Anderson county, was in the butcher business in Garnett for many years, and has the best of business training. He is a Democrat, of a life time, in past times he has been loyal to the party and has contributed to it his time, ability and money. In public office as in private business he attends carefully to business entrusted to him. He is a capable sheriff and believes in the enforce- in the Union, and take unto himself a beautiful and cultured Christian young lady, Miss Lillian Jeltr, one of Saint John's most active church workers and one of the brightest stars in all Kansas. He came and the everlasting ruptil knot was tied. The judge that tried the case made him give a bord of $25,000 and pay the money into the court each week or month, as he desires. While in court, his honor in rebuking the man of wealth said: "Look at you, a man of intelligence, in silks and satins, ment of law and thinks that it is a public office business to do his duty, recognizing his oath and all the laws on the statute books. He is a public spirited man and believes in Garnett and Anderson county and is always ready to do anything which will help to make a better Anderson county. As a candidate, he added great strength to the ticket and in addition to his personal popularity is a good, strong campaign. NATIONAL BANK OF COMMERCE GARNETTE This is one of the big financial institutions of Kansas. The financial condition of the people of Kansas and the portion of the state in which Garnett is located is as good as any place of like conditions and population any where in the United States. An examination of the statement of the condition of banks in cities of this size in this and other states, will reveal the fact that the people of this locality are thrifty and prosperous and the management of this bank, of the best to be had for banking purposes. In a city the size of Garnett, a bank having deposits and resources such as this bank, is a big institution. Mr. Geo W. Hunley, cashier, is one of the recognized leading financiers of the West. He is a fine business man, is in the prime of life, has a personal acquaintance with all of the depositors and with the other financiers of the state. The people of that section should continue their patronage of this truly great institution. HON. CONWAY MARSHALL. Who Will Be the Next Post Master at Garrett Hon. Conway Marshall, of Garnett, a candidate for post master, has resided in Garnett for 17 years and has been a Democrat leader during all the past years and is still in the business. It has required notice to be a Democrat in the past. During all these years, when the best they could do was to make a commutation and endeavor to keep the organization in tact, and when things and conditions were dishetting to them, and when some for purposes of political purpose met the party was to be with the majority, that was always a small guard who numbered loyal. At some of the three when the Democrat have tried in court to some of the other. Mr. Marshall has been honoured to have been a Lieutenant and important officer. He was elected to a number of small offices, and was a candidate in 1900 and 1908 for state senator. He paid his own assessments and expenses both times. He was defeated, but received a large and highly complimentary vote. He has been very liberal in politics and has contributed cheerfully to his party in past campaigns, and at times when he knew they could not succeed, and this is one of the tests of a good Democrat or Republican. One who remains loyal when facing defeat and in the minority, and when the popular thing to do is to get into the band wagon, and when people love to go with the mob, is surely loyal to his party. Mr. Marshall has been measured by this test and is a real Democrat and as such, considering this party loyalty, his business ability and popularity in Garnett and his great qualifications for the place, he seems to be the ideal and logical candidate for post master. We believe he is certain to be the next post master of Garnett. In our rounds over Anderson county, we found a strong and growing sentiment for this grand old war horse. REV. J. L. CRAW. The people of Kansas will be proud to hear of the wonderful progress being made by Rev. J. Logan Crawat Portland, One. He is a young man who has accepted the advice of the late Horace Groley, sought the golden West where he could grow up with the country. Bishop Parks said to him "go to Portland and improve that church." He made just one request, and that was to give him time to come to Topeka, the capital of the greatest state Then turning their faces toward the setting sun, they bid Kansas adieu and sought prosperity and plenty in the golden West, stopping at Portland Oregon. Here they found a church heavily in debt—something over $3,000 and a congregation in need of a leader. Within two years the debt has been wiped out and almost two thousand dollars has been placed in the bank to the church's credit. They have a choir composed sweet singers, who are beautifully robed at each service. Rev. Craw has just returned to his church for the third year. His estimable wife is visiting her pat Mr. and Mrs. Paul L. Jeltz and also her sisters and numerous friends in Topeka. This is her first visit here since she married, and she is the picture of health and beauty. She is being royally entertained, and the entire community wish them continued success and happiness. The Portland (Oregon) Advocate pays Rev. Craw this high compliment: "It was Michel De Montaigue, we believe, who, when asked if it were given him to create a man to his own liking how would he create his man, replied: 'I would make him round, so round all people could reach him at some point and I would make him square, so square that he would be Brother Sympathy to the man down and Brother Equal to the man up—he would be a magnet to draw and hold and a Spartan phalanx to repell himself from doing evil to others." "It has often occurred to us how well Montaigue's ideal man would in Rev. J. Logan Craw, pastor of the Bethel A. M. K. church. For in him the elements are so mixed that all the world can say, 'there is a man.' The friend of the lowly, the poor, and contact and treat as companions. Popular with the high and influential with whom he stands upon a common level. He is possessed of great learning, though so unpretentious with it that he never parades his ability to excite joy or a tender uncomfortable less fortunate brother. To him he future is ever hopeful no matter as dark and the path always studded with delightful memories, no matter how much it resembles a boardless larten desert of injustice and oppression. "Less than two years ago he came to us a stranger unknown and unhired off in this part of the western country, but by his work and upright living he made himself known and his influence felt from coast to coast and yet his beginning in this field of labor was anything but encouraging and many of his now staunch supporters doubted his ability to make good. But he has made good not only as a preacher but as a leader in all progressive movements. In such a man there is a wealth of inspiration for our young men and in such a man, blessed with kindness and fairness for foes, and loyalty for friends, there is much to emulate. Any man who is 'Bro. Sympathy' with the man down and 'Bro. Equal' to the man up even in an age in which hypocrathy veneers the lives of many who shout 'I alone am king,' is a man whose life if full of inspiration. Such is the Advocate's opinion of J. Logan Craw." MILLIONAIRE MARRIES Tuesday was an awful bad day for millionaire Geo. Willis (whites, a Grard boulevard millionaire, who for three years had in his employ Ethel Smith, young, comedy woman of 27 years, a maid in his bachelor apartment. As water wears away rock, it seems this cultured gentleman's prejudices had vanished and before he was aware of things he was nearing the state of fatherhood and the maid the mother for his child. Tuesday the climax came when he was hauled into court and made to marry the woman he had wronged. Many a colored man is serving time in Joliet for such acts and this gentleman can consider himself fortunate that he was sentenced to marry this young woman and pay her $15 per week until the child becomes of age. Price $1.50 Per Year. heir of the ages, taking advantage of this poor, illiterate, ignorant girl in this manner. If you were living in the South you would walk off from your prey and not give her a dime if you disposed to do so. But the time is here now when all judges, to get the respect of his community and nation, must give the law as laid down and not as he so feels." The judge sent the prisoner's brother for a gold ring and performed the ceremony in his chambers. Mr. James Carter, 3025 State street professional bondsman, was best man and main witness to the marriage. As we go to press the millionaire's attorney said his client need not pay any more than from $8 to $12. The judge dissents from this and said that law was for working men, but the child of a millionaire calls for more. It's station in life required more to raise it. The judge refused to reduce the bond and the money allotted to the unfortunate young woman. This case is a celebrated one and one that our daily papers ought to give big headlines after the way they cut up over the Jack Johnson case. This case will not reach the light of day as far as the papers are concerned and the poor, benighted heathen will see that the king can do evil and he must answer for his evildoug. We are glad to live in a city and a state where the respect for law and human rights stand so high."—Chicago Defender. CALL AND OPEN INVITATION. An invitation to every colored citizen interested in equal political, civil and social rights who believe the colored race should get together in defense of its welfare, to meet in national conference in Boston, Mass. Sept 15, 16 and 17 has been issued by President Byrne Garner of the National Independence League. This will be the sixth annual meeting of the league. The local committee of arrangements have arisen the citizens of Boston to give a royal welcome, with mass meetings in Pamuel Hall, excursions, sight-seeing trips, receptions, etc. The colored churches of the country are asked to observe Sept. 14 as equal rights Sunday, with prayers and sermons for equal rights.

The average gas light in the average home uses but few cubic feet of gas in an hour. The great gas light at Tulsa will burn between million feet a night. Nothing like it has ever been seen since Mosas led his people out of Egypt and into the promised land The Tulsa light will serve a similar purpose, for it will give to the world a message of agricultural hope and will point the way to farm prosperity in all states and nations through the teachings of the International Dry Farming Congress, for whose meeting it is burned. EVERY COMFORT BEING PROVIDED FOR VISITORS Tulsa Committee Working Out All Details For Entertainment of 100,000 People Tulsa Oklahoma, will entertain the largest crowd in its history next October. With an experience of eight years behind them, the officers of the International Dry Farming Congress and Exposition are making most complete arrangements for the reception and accommodation of visitors and delegates to the big meeting which begins October 22. A special canvass is being made of every house in the city and every available room will be listed in such a way that information concerning it will be instantly at hand at the time of the Congress. More than a score of special trains from the states of the far north and west, as well as from Canada, will arrive in Tulsa about October 22. These trains will be parked on the exposition grounds and the delegates will live in them during the ten days' meeting. Special wigwams will be built to accommodate any possible overflow of an attached men. Twenty acres have been set aside as camp sites for familes who wish to bring their own camp equipment and live in tents during the time of the great international meeting. Added to these special accommodations will be the scores of good hotels and rooming houses now doing business in Tulsa.

I want you to please send by mail three bottles of your shampoo, three boxes of hair grower and two boxes of preserving oil. I like the remedy just Aro. I would not be without it for anything. I am using it on my little girl's hair and it seems to be helping it great- MRS. ANNA DRUNER. Dear Madam Dabney: I am a mother of four girls. In trying to improve their hair I had tried several preparations but none gave me the good results until I used Mme. Dabney's NXth Century Preparations. Their hair was thin, harsh and would fall out so that I dreaded to use a comb. Now their hair is growing nicely—does not fall out, has no dandruff, is soft and pretty. Three of the girls are attending Wendell Phillips school Howard and Vine streets. Investigation will bear out my testimony. I would not be without the NXth Century Hair Preparations in my house. MRS.

A sweet singer is always a treat and constant benefactor. Mrs. Overstreet, the teacher of vocal music, possesses a voice both rich and of great compass, charmed her listener so completely in Back "When the Heart is Young" and Bohm "Calm as the Night" that they wished the morning could be given up to music. The device was intensified as the new teacher of violin, Mrs. Herretta Johnson, brought such tones from her instrument in her rendition of Ruffs "Cavatina" and "Cavalier Rusticara." Under the enthusiastic, devoted and efficient teachers, the music department must surpass any previous achievement. The teachers in the library and industrial departments made happy, earnest speeches that indicated that the intelligent standard of the school will be kept high and in high regard and that those interested in the industries will go forth fully prepared in their chosen art or trade. The new teachers are college graduates and teachers of interest to they are follows: Mrs. Della Stewart, A.B. of Oberlin College, teacher of English and German; Mrs. A. P.

The case was called before the same judge who was in the mob with the batee, judge Milhoan, and was acquitted by the city attorney, C. L. Huntall, all being white, and only two witnesses told the truth. They testified that the white deacon struck the first blow. Rev. A. J. Lewis and Mr. P. L. Douglas with eye witnesses on the altray at a distance of two feet or more and they testified in behalf of the preacher, but the preacher was dined on and eats, the white deacon said that same. After an appeal to the court by Rev. Lewis and Mr. Douglas, who were about to furnish an appeal bond, the time was reduced to $10, which was paid by Rev. A. J. Lewis, Mr. Eugene Martin and Mr. Fred S. Douglas, and the preacher released. It was later discovered that the white deacon was let go without a paying a red cent. Such injustice, insults and prejudice shows bad for the white man's civilization. The last round in the ladder of that people is near at hand and when that is reached there is going to be a mighty fall. Like the lezebel of olden times the fall Wall on the one from which there will be no arcing, fallen to be trampled under the feet of the advancing horde of God's people. RVE. A. J. LEWIS.
