APES Veoty be tne SOM wae Vee snatifyi wz and beneficial. We are glad to say that we had the opportunity of coming in touch with the progression of the Southern white man ag well as the colored. While Nashviile is not a real representation of the Southern cities and the people have all the traits of the South, they are g little more different than what ‘we ave read and heard about other sections of that country. Nashville has a population of about 169,069, of which about 40,000 are Soldved. The city is just beginning to take on new hfe since the election of a young, brillant citizen as Mayor. ‘Thin ie fon. Hilary E, Howse, who hag 4 Jirge furniture manufacturing establishment, and {fg one of the wealthiest men in the South. He Is now. serving hig third term as mayor) of Nashville. Mr. Howse is a gentle- man o€ great ability, full of vim, vigor andepurh and if they let him alone, and permit him to have his way, Naxbyille will be in line with Kansas City, Topeka and other Northern vities. He is clearing away old build- ings and rubbish and constructing fine Ubraties, schools and other pubhe institutions that wll compare with other cities of the North, OF course it is hard to arouse the peopic-of tke “Old South” from that Rip Van Winkle sleep, but Mr, Howse is applying cold cloths to their sleepy eyes daly and waking them up to a sense uf duty and responsibility. It waa indeed a source of pleasure to witness the gathering of over 10,- ‘000 people in the Auditorium to hear Mayor [owre welcome the Baptists who-had assembled in their annual national convention, where they trans- act Lusiress rfo the entire Baptist as- sociations of the nation. Hag one not known that he was in Nachville, Tenn., and ia the midst of such a multitude of colored pecple and heard the pleas. ant remarks made hy Mayor Howse, they would have thought they were jn Kanata or Massachusetts or some other Northern city, where manhood, thrift and energy ix all that counts in the race of hfe. He said in parts “My dear brothers, 1 welcome you to thi, mreat city, one of the greatest in the w'a'e South, J call you brother heeau.e we are from the same creator, Thera iy no difference between the whale man and the black man when they sre zai citives and they are all 2otiiled to the tame privileges under the lows, and I yill grant him every right thas the white man erjoys ute Ber the fae Inid down to pavern men” Ife wid that he belived there were just as fre white men in Nashvi'e as you would sind anywhere any there were jutt as mean ag sou could find any plae on cmth, He as-ared]’ them taat he wis glad they were there act would da all he cout t wake it pleseant for them, Ie «uj orders te § atlous tiepartment, ard ta the rivers ta ven that the v stare] were ona arly welcome hue watt trenies %" te In the city. ard Le des tired 1+ monitors ta coed te that} the pulp t was weal to Lift un the fale] len und t+ remymber that there i bur |, pre country, one flag and ore Gal for] WN, May - Howse deshing that ted awed luz e'ection ta the hiyh Mb - Fe nite Por a third tle to the cotond || yolers It Was they who placed Fine {I TM eT eT, ee | GR aan ee them. He is true, loyal and upbulld. ing to Nashville and ore of the grand: est ang must progressive citizens of the whole South, We kad tae honor and pleasure of meeting him and had quite a chat with him and must say we are highly pleased with him. If the South had about 19,09) white men like him, it would not be long before she would be in tae tiort rank of the nation. Mr. Howse ts a diplomat, scholar and a gentleman and a man who adds dignity to the high office of mayor. a is big and grand enosn4 to fill the presidential chair. He is upright, honorable, bold brave and fvarleas ang deserves vreat credit for apeahing out such words to an assembly of blacks where so much prejudice and hatred exists, It proves his friendsh’p to a race that Is struggling to rise in this land of oppression, There is no mane lier or greater white man In all tais Union than he. We place Mr. Howse in the clues with Ling.In, Sumner, Grant and Beecher, for it takes a man of iron nerve and qurage to claim friedship for the Negra in some parts of the South, espec.a'ly to stard vp and defend the:r rizt.ts, Mayor Hoase not erly assured us but the entire Convertion that every- thing of a public nature that was Riven to the white peonle was given to the blachs. He has just completed a high echo] for the whites and is preparing to erect ore for the colored and also a library for them.

She t< a Christian, upright lady and when she is not devoting her time to her children and hushand, she fs assisting women of her race, and ulding others in the training of the heart ynd hand, Mr. Carr is spokexman for the Mayor and useg all his energy in electing him to the office. Mayor Howse speahs in the hychest terms of Mr. Carr and says he knows of no other man te would trust any further and considers him ene of his confidential friends, Now, if Nashville and all of Ten- nesave could produce two thousand men hke Mr, Carr, the colored people would prozre«s ten times fazter, Mr. Carr is not selfish and is not looking for an uppoirtmert or favorable po- sition and will not lay down oa his tace in the presence of white men when he ix positive of the right. It was through him that the Baptist Convention secured the large hall where the sessions were held und many other things that went towards making the Convertion a guccess, It is so seldom that you can find y col- ored maa like Mr. Carr. He fs going forward and doing things for the up- lift of his race. Long tive Mr. and Mre. Carr and may their good work continue.

Nashville and Her Citizens Concluded from First Page. one of the strongest advocates of Negro rights on the stump today. She delivered one of the greatest speeches that ever fell from human lips advocating the rights of her people, since the days of Frederick Douglass. The ministers held their sessions at the Auditorium and the women at the First Baptist church. All things in the sessions of the women was harmonious and friendly, while the men were wrangling over points of order and elections of boards and trustees. There was several thousand dollars collected from the sale of badges, which sold for $2 and gave the ministers the right to speak as delegates. We believe much good could be accomplished through the gathering, but there is great room for improvement. A different mode of procedure could be inaugurated and get greater effect from the great gathering. Just the mere fact of calling a mass of people together to organise speeches and collect money does not accomplish anything. There are many other things that are far more essential to the race than the foreign missions. We believe that if the National Baptist Convention would properly handle the money by establishing old folk's homes, orphan homes and institutions to look after young girls, much more good would be accomplished. It is time the colored baptism were getting down to business and the sooner the better. The street railway company of Nashville deserves great credit for the way they handled the visitors and the immense throng at this Convention. There was no stifle or hard words passed between the races. The cars were always on hand to handle the great crowds at adjournment. The president and manager of the railway company are certainly gentlemen that know their business and are the right men to have at the head of such corporations. In speaking of the vast crowd the president said he had handled several large crowds, but this created in the most lady like and gentlemanly manner than any he had ever had anything to do with and said he desired to congratulate the entire Baptist Association. We also visited the state penitentiary, which is located here in Nashville and found the institution in the hands of a big hearted, generous warden, that seems to know his business. But we must say that the taxpayers of Tennessee should see to it that the legislature appropriates money for the erection of new buildings as the present ones are in a very delapidated condition and the sanitary conditions are also very poor. We found 660 colored male convicts and 191 white male convicts, and out of the 66 female convicts, there were only six white. The mirrors are about 200 miles from Nashville and there are 800 more at work there. It seems that the colored people find work at most anything they can do in Nashville and still there are about seventy prisoners working on the streets and most of them young colored men. Of course the reason for this is because more colored men are convicted for trivial offences and punished while the white ones go free. Several special trains from different portions of the country, compounded of Fullman sleepers and day coaches to carry the delegates and visitors were on hand. We dare say there is over $200,000 spent each year on this Convention, and we think the race should get more benefit of the money, and it could be used to better advantage than it is.

At the time of this conference with the 8th annual session on Sunday night of last week, loss of M. Brown of violence was reported to Saint John church of this city for the coming conference year. Rex Brown is well known in this city, having spent several years in Washburn college. He has had considerable experience in church work and has made good progress in serving the people. At Lawrence, the people were hardened with a big debt, and through his great ally as a financier and businessman he has placed them on good footing, and all is tailing exceedingly smooth for the people, and the man who follows him will succeed admirably if he will only follow the 'end' left open by Rex Brown. He was located in West Lawrence for seven years and took charge of Saint Luke church when it was in a very discouraging condition with results as stated above. The undertaking was a great one for the number of our people, but through undated charges and poor chance he finally succeeded in building one of the finest churches in the state of Kansas.

At the current request of both white and black citizens of Lawrence, the Porter, Dr. H. Parks, re-assign him there last year. He carried up one of the greatest returns to the conference at Omaha that was ever taken from St. Luke—adding to the church membership and raising money for all purposes nearly $7,700,000. He comes to Topcha full of the church real joy. He has always made a speciality of charity work, going into the lives of all classes to relieve suffering and humanity. He has succeeded as a business man, both for the church and himself, and as a man of service affairs. His ability as a breather and financier will doubtless add much to the much needed work of St. John. His life is a Topka girl and an old member of St John's hour. They have three heartful and intelligent boys—Merrill H. 14, now in High school and to a pianist, being on program at the East Inter State: Laurence, and Hare'd.

A. The Association stands for an all around womanhood, meeting the demands of her four-fold nature by providing spiritual, intellectual, physical and social advantages. For the religious side, the Yates Association has a venerp service from 3 to 4 o'clock on Sunday in the Y. W. C. A. building on the corner of Fifth and State Avenue. A Bible-class studying "Old Testament History of the Hebrew Nation," on Monday at 8 p.m., is held for young women with the general secretary as teacher. For the intellectual side, classes in dress making, millinery, art, reading, arthetic and vocal music (through the choral club) are offered. For the physical side, the Association will have its gymnasium work at the Central Y. W. C. A., and our women and girls will be trained by the Physical Director of the Central Association for the small fee of $1.50 for the whole eight months. The fee is exceptionally small and the Association is anxious to have our women and girls to size this opportunity. The working woman and girl sometimes feel that they have sufficient exercise in performing household duties, but this is not true. Every woman or girl needs a diversity of exercise that will be helpful to the entire body. Many of both women and girls feel the corrective work. Come and join and grow young. Everyone has to be a member of the Association to enjoy its privileges. The social side, last but not least in the four-fold nature, in this Association plans the good times for all regularly on the 2nd Thursday evening in each month in our Association rooms and holiday occasions and occasional parties. In other words the social spirit is emphasized throughout our center. Young women are most cordially invited to ask their escorts to accompany them to our socials and call for them at venerp, etc. Watch for our prospectus which will soon make its advent. Don't forget monthly social on the evening of October 9th. The vesper services on Sunday from 7 to 1 o'clock promise to be very unusual interest in speech and song. ATCHISON, KANSAS Rev. Henry B.

The only trouble between Jack Johnson and the United States /s that he has defeate, a white man, prize-fighter, So much for that, #0 here let the Johnson case Test. 1 am to talk about the “Race Prob- lem,” which every child in the coun: try knows, means the “Negro Prob- lem," but I do not aim to talk about the good white people, that are help- ing our folks every day in many ways, nor about the good Negroes, who are straining every nerve in their effort each day, to ralse the standard of man ang womanhood, and Progress of the race. It ts of the white scoundrel and the black traitor, that | am going to talk of, the element that heepa the fires of prejudice stirred in this coun- try, and are now placing their agents in European territory with a view of ercating unfavorable sentiment there against the Negro. In every com- munity here in our own country, we have the white man who Is small enough to take advantage of the Ignorance of some Negro whom he can use in one way or another, to make matters work against others who have grit enough to push on the battle of progress. In fact, Ja many communities there are many Negroes who are intelligent and industiious, whom niany of the whites will not give employment but try to starve them out, and in mest instances they have the aid of g clixs of Negroes who have nothing them- aelveg ang are enemies of people who are trying to rise in the world. ‘this part of our Nexto population are the dead limbs; the white man who has no principle {s a consuming fire. We must down with them, We have gotten to the place where we should no longer countenance that class cf our people who are working against our material advancement and moral uplift. The average white man looks at the aserage Negro in the light of there being no class among Negrocs; and many Negroes share in the same view, If one Negro will go wrong, the white man wants to place the blame at the door of every member of the race; a White man pocg the wrong road, but that’s alright, it’s Mr. Jones just the same. “Our Black Brother,” dees not ask any special pilvileges, but all that he Jorg ask, is the privilege to earn an honest dollar and be accorded the same rights us other peeople. flhis privilege ig not ashey for thoce of bur people who are unworthy, any more than the white man should de- ire that the worthless among his peo- ple be given the same encouragement as the honest citizen. The tendency to discriminate igainst the Nero seems to be uni- versal, despite the fact that the Ne- tro race has alwnyx been loyul to he American people from the time hey set foot upon American soil up o the present time, The conditions hat obtain in this country just now ie a matter that will require sane hought on the part of the leaders of oth races, to bring about the proper djustment thereof, The Negro cf today is u fullfledged American citizen, Amencan bred, and American born; it matters little what is color is, it matters httle what his olor is, he has very hittle African ood in hie veins, The white man has thorouchly \mericanized the Negio iace; he rought them here from the wilds f Afriea and hept them in bondage or more than tuo hundred years, hen the Negro after answering the} all to arms, fought fo help save the) onor of the country; after the vice] Ory Was Won, Was turned out hel: oxs to ehift us best they could. Those who served the country im ar of courre wie getting a pension, | ut there hae oneser heen any] cognition of the rervice of the bond. en who fer tuo hundred and fait not always been a goed servant anc nelghbor as well? It is a great pity that there is ne a law compelling the daily press o} the country to publish facts just a: they are, Instead of giving the fact: without “fear of favor” and use it influence for the moral uplift of the public, the daily press reems to have only one object in view, and that i: to rebuke the Negro race. It should be that the Negro womer should be forced to shun the whit man; the truth of the matter Se, that a Negro woman can scarcely ¢o ou! at night without an escort but whal she is insulted by a white man. While there is a tendency towards “Jim Crowism” throughout the coun: try, und the white men want ,eparate street and railway cars, there are u clirs of them that are very sociable with Negro women if given a chance. The Negro race is very thankful te the numbers of white people that are helping them; for the hctp they have givcn, and are yet giving, in the was of educational and religioug work. But there is much more that they can do to help our pcuple, and that Is In the improvement of our moral condition. Tirst of all, the Negro prexe mutt speuh up; tet us help ourselves firet, and then let us ash xtme of our wall wishers of the white rice to encouit age the daily pretx to pive un jue- the. But in the meantime, we must not be silent on the matters portan- ing to our moral welfare, for at is Just ux asrential for ua te protect the vituc of cur women as it re far other people, fo many parts of the South that are only two flee perrons-the white man and the Necro woman, and many a Nuto man hae boon Wnched or shot to death just from walhinge up the stuet with a woman of hie own race, While the press dispatches teil that he has committed an ae-nult 0, a white woman, Nee is a terous problum that must sooner ¢r later be solved. Here we have two races whose daily move mente brings them in lo-e proximity with cach other; a “superion” race, an “inferior” race, they tell us; the man of the “superior” race, a social hypounte, who wants the women of his own tace to shun the men of the “inferior” race while he maintuns social relationy with the wenun of the “inferior” race. If he wants hie women to shun the Negro let him «ct the pace; if he wants no mixture of the ruces, let him heep his place, ket him be honest with his own women and with the world. This may be said to be the real conditions ax they now cvtt ree sanding the race problem: The white man wants to separate the Negro man from all the comferts of life; he yants to deprive him of al] the rihts of the eitizen; but he want, to hep company wath the Negra woman whenever he hat a chance; in rhert! he wants to use the Negro nice as a tatspaw, Whatever the status ef the Ne- to's moral condition muy he, it can he Inul at the door of the white mun, hveause he hus been the Nero's tuter for almost three hundred years, and Whatever the Negro hae done, has been at the instization ef the white mans But we have reached the place where we must begin setting our own rlandard the samg as the Jew and other progressive nationalitics, as we cannot follow the white man's ex- ample if it's a bud one, In the meantime I woulg admonish our people to be more industrious, be honest in whatever you do; it may pe hard sailing, and there will be many hard knocks, but press forward sith thig consolation; That there ix 19 lasting success, no continued hap- ness until you have becn yreund out {the mil.

This writer has, for the past ten or twelve years, been visiting every city in Kansas, and nowhere have we found a more prosperous, energetic, thrifty, enterprising people than those of Salina. The business men are all wide awake boosters, and pall day and night for a greater Salina. Here is one of the greatest jooping centers in the state—in fact the leader of this section. They have factories and wholesale houses galore that bring thousands of dollars into the city daily, and furnishes lucrative employment to hundreds of men and women. The opening of the "White Way" was celebrated with a big street fair and carnival. At the appointed hour the mayor touched the button which brilliantly illuminated the streets and started the carnival revelers on a big week of fun and amusement. Salma's white way rivals that of Iopeka, which is second to that of no city in the United States. Backed by one of the richest farming communities in Kansas, Salina is destined to become the greatest trade center of the West. She has the business men who are willing to dig down in their pockets and pay to bring factories and other enterprises to the city. The daily papers of Salina would do credit to a city ten times as large. They are wide awake and boost at all times for the city's welfare. The Salina Daily Union, ex-Senator J. R. Burton's paper, is modern and has a corps of scribes that stand away up in the front ranks of the leading writers of the country. Sen. Burton is one of the oldest men in America, a brilliant orator a strong writer, and the Union is a power in Kansas. Truly Salina is the home of industry and is destined to become a great city The H. D. Lee Mercantile Co. The H. D. Lee Mercantile Co. is one of the pioneers in the jobbing business in the state of Kansas. The Company was organized by Messrs H. D. Lee and D. W. Cowden, formerly of Gallion, Ohio, and the business was started in October 1889. In the beginning the business was confined to the jobbing of wholesale groceries, but from time to time it has been enlarged until now the Company is wholesaling not only groceries, but notions—furnishing goods, stationery and other notions—together with green fruits and produce. They do a large Coffee and Spice business and import their own Teas. They have a large coffee roasting and spice grinding plant and in addition to this they manufacture Lee Baking Powder, Self Rising Flour, Flavoring Extracts, Laundry Blue, and numerous other grocery sundries. Another feature of their business is their Overall Factory, which makes the well and favorably known brand of "Jumbo" Overall. This Overall Factory alone employs about seventy (70) people. The H. D. Lee Mercantile Company specializes their food products under their own brand, the "Lee Brand" covering their first grade of goods, the best manufactured or obtainable from any part of the globe; their other brands, being "Summer Girl," "Motner to see," "Cafe," and "Little Jack," all of whom are very popular and have a wide sale. The Lee Mercantile Co., business covers Kansas and also Oklahoma, and their total number of employees, including the Overall Factory, is 225. The officers of the company are—H. D. Lee, President; D. W. Cowden, Vice President; I. B. Potter, Secretary, and L. C. Staples, Treasurer. Mr. Lee was formerly co-owner with the Standard Oil Co. in Ohio, and later was treasurer of the American Tobacco Co. of New York City and is well known as one of the aggressive merchants of the West, and an addition to the H. L. Lee Mercantile Co., of which he is the manager and head, he is also the owner and president of the Lee Hardware Co., a wholly owned. Part and Wall Paper, and Aaron's Accessory business; the Leisure Ice and Storage Co., which is a manufacturer of scarlet-collors, and the Lee Warre Mills Co., a manufacturer of ice. all races and creeds. His places moral worth and true character save all things, and has been a potent factor in the growth and successful operations of the concern. The manager of The Plaindealer was never more royally received as when we visited the great Lee Merchantile Co. We had the pleasure of meeting, personally, all of the gentlemen named above, and a river 11 of men have never assembled under one roof. They are educated, cultured, retired and thoroughly trained in the world of business. The H. D. Lee Mercantile Co. is one of the really big companies—a magnet that draws thousands of dollars into the state and gives us a standing in the world of commerce. Mr. H. D. Lee, president of the company, is one of the strongest and most widely known business men in America, and his fine brain, keen foreseeing and magnificent business ability has played a prominent part in the development and remarkable growth and success of the American Tobacco Co. and also the great Standard Oil Co. He is a blessing to Kansas, the farmer, laborer and the business man, and the state is exceedingly fortunate to have a man of his calibre doing business within her borders. Hon. W. W. Shobe. Here we met that big hearted, jolly girl fellow, and successful business man, Hor. W. W. Shobe. He runs a hatch ite, having four vehicles and an automobile, and simply doing excellent. Mr. Shobe also owns a tine residence, where he and his estimable wife enjoy all the comforts of life. He is prominent in politics and lodge circles, being past grand master of District Grad Lodge No. 17, G. U. U. 0. 0. F. and through his keen business tact, he elevated the order up to where it stands—second to none in the state. Mr. Shobe is a stauch friend of The Plandealer and during our stay in Salina he showed us every courtesy—drove us over the city in his fine automobile and threw his magnificent home open to us. Mr. Shobe is an excellent example of what thrift, energy and enterprise can accomplish, and white and black point to him as a model business man and a wood citizen. Hon. C. W. Wilson. When you scribe dropped it to the office of Probate Court we were indeed glad to meet Hon. C. W. Wilson, who has a faithfully served the people of Saline county. Judge Wilson has lived in Saline county since 1978, and entered the campaign for Probate Judge against seven competitors and his nine qualifications won for him this, one of the most important offices in the gift of the people. He was born and reared a Democrat (not hide bound) but has always advocated the principles of true Democracy, which means a square, fair deal for all men, regardless of creed, color or previous condition. His election means much to the people of the city, and when he comes up again Democrats and Republicans will cast aside all trees and elect him by a handmade vote Hon. E. F. Seward. Hon. E. F. Swanson, under-sheff, is not only a credit to his party, his friends and bakers and his crest, but to the whole state at large. Mr. Swanson was born in Kansas in 1877, and his many treatment of the col- lored people, his childhood has made him a legend of friends among them. He is a life-long friend and has always stood up and fought boldly for the rights of men, be they white or black. He has always contributed both time and money to the success of Democracy and many services more substantial reward at the hands of his party. Two years hence, using with a host of friends, we hope to see not shuffle of Salve county. SASSE HE FIRST NATIONAL BANK BUILDING, JUNCTION CITY, KAS. THE STREETS F.

Todd, the secretary-treasurer of this great concern, is a man thoroughly schooled in business, and his fine system, kind hearted, and go-ahead manner has placed this mill in the front rank of America's foremost mills. A visit to the mill shows that it is one of the cleanest and most sanitary plants in the whole United States, none excepted. Leading brands are "American Eagle", "Foxest King" and "The Admiral." Topeka grocers are supplied by the Chase Wholesale Commission Co., Topeka The Bulkley Dry Goods Co. The Bulkley Dry Goods Co. The Bulkley Dry Goods Co. is a credit to hans and the West. Fifteen years of a interrupted success means that they have the confidence of rich, poor, white and black alike. All are received and treated equally. Mr. L. P. Coffey, general manager, is a fine business man and he has the confidence of all the people. Their policy is the most liberal of any store in the state, and any purchase not entirely satisfactory may be returned. They employ fifty nice, courteous, polite people and have six buyers and heads of departments that visit New York, Chicago, and other Eastern cities twice yearly to purchase new merchandise and get ideas. There are no exceptions in this store, the management requiring courteous treatment to every patron and visitor, no matter what their color, religion or previous condition. Mr. T. W. Carlin. Mr. T. W. Carlin, wholesale and retail drugstist, is a broadguaged, liberal mired man, pleasing of manner, sweet in temper and honest and square in all transactions. He owns and operates one of the finest drug stores in all Kansas and all are welcome and receive the same courteous treatment. He does a large mail order business and is one of the best liked man in this section of the state of Kansas. WICHITA, NEDGWICK COUNTY. MR. JOHN MILLHAFT. We have been appearing in the western part of the state and while there spent some time in Sedgwick county and Worcestershire, and while in that section we find that people there were alive to the political conditions in the state and that they are groomed general will known Democrats for political preference. Among these men was the people are bringing out as their candidates a man who has like a wood nurse in the hansas Democracy for a quarter of a century or more. He is the present herof of Sedgwick county, Mr. John Vallhapt. He has resided there for a life time, has for many years been one of the leading business men of Sedgwick county and the Southampton, and has been a part of the romantic history of that western country playing a large part in the day appointment of the West, and a typical westerner. Mr. Millhaupt is a Democrat through and through, but fair to all. In the days of defeat for his party he was the same consistent, never-changing Democrat, contributing with his money, time and ability to help the cause of Democracy and keep up the organization. He has been one of the faithful who, in defeat, has stood by the Democratic guns. Now democratic success through the efforts of Democrats such as he, has come to Kansas and the nation, it is fitting that he should be the one chosen by the people for the position of United States marsall for the district of Kansas. He is an efficient sheriff and when his term as sheriff shall expire it will be a fitting tribute to his ability, to his sterling manhood and to his staunch democracy to elevate him to that important position in Kansas. He will be a fine representative of official democracy and a credit to the administration of President Woodrow Wilson. Senator Thompson no doubt will recognize the entire availability of Mr. Millhaupt for the place and do what he can to bring about his appointment. He is an original Woodow Wilson man and staunch supporter, admirer and personal friend of Senator Thompson. LAWRENCE. Hon. C. E. Lindley. Hon. C. E. Lindley, judge of the Probate Court, is a fine gentleman, upright, honorable, fair and square in all his dealings, and in this most important of all county offices, he has made good, and stands high with the people of the community, and always aids and assists in settling matters of estate as cheaply as possible, thereby putting money in the pockets of those who have small estates for probate.

Herman Broeker, County Clerk, is a splendid official and good business man, having spent twenty-six years in the hardware business.

Cummings, Jr. Hon. W. J. Cummings, Jr., sheriff of Douglas county, is a nice gentleman and a first class official. He is serving his first term and has a host of friends.

May success always be his. Judge E. E. Morris. H. n. E. E. Morris, Judge of the Juvenile and Probate Court, is serving his third term. He is a life-long Democrat and stands high with men and women of all parties and races. We have known Judge Morris for many years and must say that a better man for the place could not be found in Riley county. He is fair and impartial in dealing with people of all races, and has done as much for the uplift of the youth as any man in Kansas. WINFIELD. Hon. T. Lea Cairns Hon. T. Lea Cairns, successful business man and politician, is asking for the postmastership at Winfield, and he richly deserves the appointment. In and out of season he has labored for the success of Democracy and has never asked for an office. He was president of three Bryan clubs, and is now secretary of the Woodrow Wilson club. He was born in Linn county, Mo., in 1867, is a self-made man and a success in business, having been engaged in the produce business—wholesale and retail—for over sixteen years.

He stands high with men, women and children of the community and his appointment would indeed 'popular and approved by all. JUNCTION CITY. Hon. N. D. Aldridge. H. N. D. Aldrife, a live, wideawake, progressive citizen of Junction City, has been highly hobbined by Gov. Hodges, who made him delegate to the National Negro Educational Council at Kansas City, Mo., and was made a vice president of the Co-operative and Rational Congress, which met at Lawrenceville, Va., last summer. Mr. Aldridge is one of the leading men of his race in the state, a politician of standing, honest and square, and when Gov. Hodges thus honored him he made a wise selection, one which was highly satisfactory to black and wite citizens alike. He is comfortably situated, and haws looked well to the proverbial rainy day that soo er or later overtakes all. While the writer was in Junction City we were the guest of Mr. and Mrs Aldridge at their beautiful and well appointed home. They have one of the most highly cultured daughters in Kansas—Miss Mollie, who is teaching in Oklahoma. His trip South was very gratifying indeed, and he says that the rapid strides of the race in that section inspired his soul wit confidence in the future of the blacks. He is a been observer. He met many old time friends. Mr. Aldridge says that taking all under fair and impartial consideration, the black man South is doing fire and progressing as rapidly as we could expect. J. J. and W.

The First National Bank. The First National Bank is a very prominent and potent factor in the growth and activity of this thrifty little city, and their generosity is always on tap when the proposition has to do with quickening the pulse of the business activity of Junction City. This institution stands well up in the ranks of the best in America. It is well managed and has the confidence of the farmer, laborer and business man. The accompanying cut shows the magnificent home they have erected. It is one of the most modern structures in the West, and a credit to Junction City. Mr. Thomas B.
