TOPEKA PLAINDEALER SHALL THE EX-SLAVE BE PENSIONED? SHALL THE EX-SLAVE BE PENSIONED? Dennis S. Thompson, Writer, Educator and Leader, Throws Interesting Light Upon The Matter. Historical Society State House Sixteenth Year. No. 9. Don't Worry, th SHALL THE E BE P Dennis S. Thompson, and Leader, Throw Light Upon Th (By Dennis S. Thompson, Bethel, Kas.) The pensioning of the ex-slaves of the United States, is a matter that Congress alone has the power to deal with, and necessarily nothing can be done in the way of securing the enactment of such a measure, until a majority of the members of that body, could be interested therein. There are many Negroes who are against such a law, but who are drawing a pension for their service in the Civil War; some who saw two and three years service, and six months perhaps. I am proud that many of our people have the benefit of a pension, as a recognition of their splendid work, and gallantry, n the Civil War, but what of the ex-slaves? Of course there were many who spent over two centuries in bondage, and then served the country in the Civil War, but yet, there were thousands who were not able to take up arms—our mothers. They were not able to go to war, but while the war was in progress, thousands of our mothers and sisters, remained loyal to their owners, helping to keep things together until they were released through the proclamation of President Lincoln. All through the weary years before the coming on of the Civil War, many helpless men and women of our race, met their death at the hands of some hot-headed overseer, for no provocation whatever, other than that he had the power to do it. After two hundred and forty-five years of unrequited toil, in which three the heaviest burden of building up the country was borne by them, it would seem that the services of the Negro ought to be recognized in some substantial manner. Half a century after freedom seems to be a very late day to take up the question, but there are now living, many who, if such a law were to be made would receive the benefit thereof. But it will not be don eby a single stroke of the hammer, nor can it be accomplished in one year, instead, it will require some time, some money, and a spirit of aggressiveness and lots of hard work on the Negro's part. I do not believe that one or two Negroes will be able to do anything, but whatever success comes, it must come through a well organized body. But I see the greatest opposition to with sensible leaders at the front, such a measure, is to be found among the members of the Negro race, who when the matter is mentioned, are quick to say: "It cannot be done." Some of the foremost Negroes, and the newspapers, of the country, that should be the leaders in this movement, are talking against it; on the grounds that it is not in order, but if we hit down all the time on the theory that we "cannot," we are not going to get much in this world. Through the concentration of our forces only, will we be able to win; let us get together then and ask for what we want. The greatest fault with our people when they ask for something it is of no consequence. Those who would ask, are only specifying pensions for the e-slaves, but when the Indian got his allotment it was so much money, and so many acres of land for himself, and each member of his family. I think if we are to ask anything, it should be for the pensioning of all ex-slaves, and all the children of ex-slaves, born prior to 1872. In this way it would help many persons of middle age, who had not the opportunity that the younger generation has, and who would expend their money in a way that would be helpful to themselves and to the race at large. Would this be asking too much? I do not think that the Negro will ever ask an amount equivalent to what this government owes him, and if the government does not re-emburse the race in some form, for its years of unpaid toll, it will be a blot upon this government as long as it stands. Now, if the ex-slave shall be pensioned, we have first to interest Congress to the extent that such a measure may be introduced, but it can hardly be done at this session. Every Negro vote this year should ask every Representative and Senator, when soliciting his vote, their attitude on the pensioning of Ex-slaves, and if they do not hear him, he should not hear them, and in this way we may get a hearing or some action on the measure. lutureN.&o shal shid hudlhgfwhyq There is a great necessity though of organization. The Negro should at all of his meetings this year, religious, educational, political or any kind, get the sentiment of his people, and effect organizations. There should be a central body to which all of the subsidiary bodies should report and when the proper time comes select a delegation to go to Washington and present the claims of the race. We may fold our hands and wait, but Congress nor any other body, is going to work for the pensioning of the ex-slaves, or anything else that tends to the uplift of the Negro race. We must begin to furnish some of the steam ourselves, by getting busy at the sight thing. VIEWS OF A DEMOCRAT Business Manager Griffin's Personal Opinion of Things Political. The annual dinner of the Kansas Democracy Feb. 23d was the largest and most enthusiastic in the history of the party in this state. They came from every nook and corner of the state. These were filled with a new hope and why not? The party was made good in the state and nation, and every thing points to a sweeping victory next fall. A finer looking bunch of men have never assembled in Topeka. Harmony reigned supreme, and the dinner was all that could be desired—an old fashioned love feast. Many surprises were spilling in the way of announcements, and the battle for nominations will be the liveliest in the history of the party. However, it will be one grand hammonious "free for all," and when the smoke clears away, all will put their shoulders to standard, Gov. George H. Hodges at the head will plunge into the "main event where victory awaits their coming. The announcement of Geo. A. Neeley, congressman from the Seventh district, for United States Senator came as no surprise to the wise ones who had peeped carefully into the political horoscope. Mr. Neeley is a power in his district and is well known throughout the state. The fight for the Democratic nomination is between Hon. J. D. Botkin, W. L. "Iron Jaw" Brown, Col. Bill Sapp, Hugh Family and Mr. Neeley. It is indeed an array of strong men and it is hard to tell who will capture the prize. ± ± Congressman Dudley Doolittle is a man of great ability, a born leader of men and has made the best representatives the Fourth District ever had. He is uniting in his efforts and when matters of vital importance to the people are to be disposed of, he is sight on the job, and will fight to the last ditch for that which for slight. This writer takes pleasure in having an opportunity to speak a word in favor of this worthy gentleman. Mr. Doolittle's record in Congress is first-class and his vote on all TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING FEBRUARY 27, 1914. matters is always cast on the side of the people. He is in close touch with President Wilson, and has been able to secure many favors for the people of his district and the state at large. Mr. Doolittle is a staunch friend of the common people—white and black alike and he has many good, staunch friends among them. In journeying over his district, we find the people contented—satisfied with his services and they are loud in saying that they are going to show their appreciation and wisdom by keeping him on the job. The district has never had a better representative. He is a good, clean, upright, honorable gentleman—a man with whom the people can converse at anytime and receive his closest consideration. He is a Democrat of Strong City, was born at Cottonwood Falls, Chase County, Kas, June 21, 1881, and is a direct descendant of Virginia's first colonial Governor; parents are Kansas pioneers; educated in public schools and University of Kansas; also holds LL.B. degree from latter institution; private law practice extensive, covering many counties of the state; prosecuting attorney Chase county 1908-1912; mayor of Strong City 1912; elected to the Sixty-third Congress, receiving 17,000 votes, to 16,481 for Fred S. Jackson, Republican, and 1,534 for S. W. Beach, Socialist, and is the first Democrat to represent the district. 111 Hon T. Dixon, of Junction City, justice of the peace, was appointed by Governor Hodges sometime last year, and as in everything he has undertaken, Mr. Dixon has made a success. He is a graduate of the St. Louis (Mo.) law school and has practiced in the state (save a short time) ever since his graduation. He served as prosecuting attorney of Geary county and also city attorney of Junction City. He is a staunch Democrat and a gentleman. ttt We spent several days last week in Leavenworth county. Here we had the pleasure of meeting Hon. Thomas L. Johnson, judge of probate and juvenile courts. He is a splendid man and has given the people the clearest, fairest and best administration in the history of this important office. He is a man of sound judgment—careful, painstaking and absolutely square and honest in all of his transactions both public or private. You can call upon him at any hour of the day or night and you will find the affairs of his office checked right up to the minute. We were much pleased by the many compliments paid the Judge by many colored friends of Leavenworth and Leavenworth county. They all give him a clean bill of health and declare that they are going to nominate and elect him. Men like Judge Johnson are a blessing to any community, and their presence and untiring efforts for the uplift and betterment of munkind are keenly felt and most highly appreciated. + + + G. Q. Lake's handsome and well stocked drug store corner Tenth and Minnesota avenue, Kansas City, Ks. is one of the finest and best stores in Kansas. The store is under the personal management of Mt. G. O. Gatigny, a native Kansan. He is registered in Kansan and Missouri and a pharmacist of rare ability. Mt. Gatigny has been with the Lake drug store for five years, and his superior service, and pleasing manner has attracted a large patronage to the store. It is a pleasant place to trade—you get what you want and are served in-a manner that tells you that you are welcome, call again. A. D. Griffin, business manager of The Topeka Plaindealer, the only Negro publication in Kansas, and a member of the state board of trustees of Western University, is in Leavenworth in the interests of his publication, the Democratic party and visiting his numerous friends and acquaintances here. Mr. Griffin, who is a staunch Hodges man, is convinced that the Democratic victory next year will elipse that of last, and he is confident that Chapman will be victorious over all his opponents. Mr. Griffin says that a thorough canvass of the state has commended him that the average Negro is getting away from old ideas, which means a betterment of the race in this particular section of the country.—Leuwerworth Daily Post. COLONEL ED C. LITTLE WHAT SOME OF THE NEWSPAPERS ARE SAYING OF JIM. Scammon Miner (Phil Keener:) The many friends of Col. E. E. Little have received word he will be a candidate for justice of the supreme court. Ashland Clipper (H. C. Mayest:) Col. Little is one of the best known men inthe stato and is reputed to be a good lawyer. He will doubtless be a strong candidate. Smith Center Journal (Ben Baker:) I Ed. C. Little, of Kansas City, Kansas, has a lot of friends in Smith county who will remember him when the time comes that they can give him a a boost in his candidacy for one of the justices of the supreme bench. He is one of the able legal lights of the state and will be a credit to his friends wherever he is placed, be it as a soldier or a jurist. Valley Falls New Era: Ed. Little, who was private secretary to Governor Leedy and was an officer of volunteers in the Spanish-American war in the noted Twentieth Kansas, is a candidate for nomination for one of the places on the supreme bench. Ed is a lawyer of ability and would, no doubt, make good in the position he seeks. Marshall County News (Geo. Smith): He was a member of the fighting Twentieth Kansas and fought in a dozen battles in the Philippines. He has also fought in many political battles in Kansas and never in the field of war or politics showed the white feather. He is honest and able, and barring his politics of recent years, is a mighty good fellow and good judicial timber—and judicial politics is barred by law. It seems that Col. Ed C. Little's candidacy for the supreme bench is receiving a quite general approval over the state and he will undoubtedly receive a very generous support in La贝ette county. During recent years he has been very busy with his law practice at Kansas City, Kas., and has not been active in politics, but years ago when it took nerve to fight for the rights of the average man, Ed Little was an able, eloquent and study champion of those rights. He is one of the few men who really made sacrifices for their convictions and he ought to have the vote of every man that wants to elect a scholarly, clean thinking judge who won't be hamstrung by technicalities every time he is called upon to render a decision, but has a heart as well as a head. Ihawatha Goremal (F. M. Penal) The people of this part of the state will remember the brilliant part taken in the campaign of 1896 by Edward C. Little of Abulene. He is now located in Kansas City, Kas, where he has built up a fine law business and is recognized as one of the leading lawyers of the state. One nice note about Mr. Little is that he has a heart and soul that boasts in unison with that of the great masses of the people. He is full of sympathy with their hopes and aspirations and is a real lootist. He is a graduate of the state university and the time has come when graduates of the law department of the University of Kansas want to stand up and argue their cases to one of their number. It is missing strate that no graduate of the law department of the University the supreme bench. Mr. Little means of Kansas has ever held a place on pres up to all the requirements of the position and we hope to see him nominated and elected. He has held many positions of trust and control and never failed to make good. He is a soldier, a patriot and a fine citizen and is worthy the position to which he aspires. The Kinsley Graphic (J. M. Lawls): The present indications are that there will be a pretty wide field to select from when we make our choice for supreme court justices at the next primary election. To most of us their names will be unfamiliar. There is one name, however, that is being mentioned that will not be strange to us and that is Col. Ed Little o the Twentieth Kansas regiment. Since retiring from the army Col. Little has been practicing law in Kansas City. Yes, when he has built up a large practice. He is recognized as being one of the best lawyers in the state. He is a writer of note and his style and the purity of his English will give his opinions a literary finish that has not been found in that august body since the days of Judge Frank Doster. Colonel Little is a fine man personally and his well known probity will insure that his decisions will voice the spirit of law and not of prejudice, for he wears the collar of no man or corporation. The Hutchinson Wholesaler (A. L. Sponsors!) It will be a pleasure to the many friends of Hon. Edward C. Little of Kansas City, formerly of Abilene, to know that he is a candidate for associate justice of the supreme court of Kansas. Mr. Little is one of the leading members of the bar of the state and has had a large practice in the various state and federal courts. He is ripe in experience and understands the philosophy of law and the intricacies of our social structure. He was a lieutenant colonel of Kansas troops in the Spanish-American war and United States Diplomatic Agent and Counsel General to Egypt, both of which positions gave him opportunity for broadening his views upon all subjects. He is a fine scholar and writer, and opinions written by him would bear the impress of the mature, competent legal mind. The Imperial Daily Gazette (William Allen Winter? The suggestion that Colonel Edward Campbell Little, lates of the Twentleth Kansas, of immortal fame, be put on the Kansas supreme bench by the friends of good government, without respect to party, is a good one. No other Kansas man combines as Col. Little does the scholarship, the legal training, the open mind, the progressive spirit, the fundamentally democratic viewpoint. He would strengthen the Kansas Court and his influence on that court always would be for social and industrial progress, and the court would reflect admirably the forward-looking spirit of Kansas today. What a fine thing it would be to have on the court a man like Edward Campbell Little! Kansas City Post: As proof of the fact that occasionally there is honor among politicians Judge C. B. Little of Olathe, Kas, who a month ago announced his candidacy for associate justice of the supreme court of his state, has withdrawn in favor of Col. Ed. C. Little of Kansas City, Kans. The former Mr. Little has announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for attorney general, which nomination he held two years ago. "It was this way," said Judge Little of Olathe, "I announced first and doubtless could have won. But two names so much alike are confusing. Colonel Ed Little is an older man than I and I am going to let him run if he wants to. I would not want to get any votes belonging to him, and, of course, would not want him to get votes belonging to me. So, to avoid any misunderstanding, I withdraw." WESTERN INKLINGS. By Rev. J. T. Smith, D. J. (Lawrence, Kansas) Just a few dots, that's all by Dr. I. G. Robinson in a late publication had in my opinion the right ring. He has well said, "We have a great and powerful church, having for its motto—God our Father, Christ our Redeemer and man our brother. She has been made strong by toil, sacrifice and earnest endeavor on the part of the men, East, West, North and South, who stood ever ready to carry the banner to higher heights." PETER H. JOHN H.

Not only in our western fields, but the entire connection has been kept alive by the spirit of evan. gelism through this system. In giving you a few inklings of our western work, we have strong men who have stood without flinching in the midst of the most severe conflicts and trials, and kept the bane of African Methodism unfurled. They have remained within the confines of their own state or conference for almost a half century. We point with pride to Dr. M. S. Bryant of the North Missouri Conference who bears the distinguished honor of being the oldest Presiding Elder in the connection in point of continued service. Rev. Dr. Crews who stands above reproach. Rev A. A. Gilbert and P. Thurman, J. A. Chandley and others of the Missouri Conference. In the Kansas Conference we have Dr. J. W. Wilson, P. E., of the Topeka District, the disciplinarian of the church. The silent and progressive Dr. J. C. C. Owens of the Omaha District. The quiet unassuming and forceful preacher of the gospel. H. W. King, D. D., of the Kansas City District. P. D. Davis of Fort Scott, C. A. Woods, B. R. Ross and others whose watchword is "onward to heights unguarded."

(They are not men who failed at home and were transferred to get a grip on things, but who have succeeded in their home conferences and have come not for loaves and fishes, but to render efficient service to God and the church.

There is a growing sentiment among the brethren to ask the General Conference to promote Dr. J. R. Ransom at the coming session. I. R. Ransom at the coming session. The connection is calling for Dr. McDonald and Caldwell to come up higher. Texas still reverses her Kraling and the West is looking at that profound thinker and writer, the Rev. J. D.

Griffin only voices his sentiment and is not the editorial expression of this paper. We are for the man that will stand up for rights men that will declare openly, the outrages that are being heaped upon the colored race all over this country. What the colored man wants is work, and plenty of it, his share at the pie counter, the same rights as any other American citizen, the same rights as the foreigners. The party or the man who will boldly stand up and proclaim from the house tops that the colored race is not receiving fair treatment at the hands of the white man. That the colored race is human and if the white man's religion means anything, let him prove it by giving the brother in black an equal chance in life. It is a shame for the white race, with all their wealth and education, to envy what little the colored race has won over great obstacles. NICK CHILES, Miss Cora McFarland and Mr. Wilhe Senkins were quietly married Thursday, Feb. 5, 1914. The occasion was a complete surprise to the many friends of the couple, who wish them happiness in their future life. 1 Miss Anna Reddins was greatly taken by surprise when about twenty of her friends gave her a complete surprise, Wednesday, Feb. 11.

The evening was spent in playing games. At 10:30, delicious refreshments were served; at 11:30 the guest departed, declaring the evening well spent.

Mrs. Richard Robinson passed away, Feb. 14, 1914, at the home of parents, Rev. and Mrs. Chas. Teal, 801 West Maple St., Independence, Kansas. Mrs. Robertson has been in poor health several months and death came as a great relief to her suffering, but as a great loss to her devoted relative and friends. She leaves a father, mother, husband, a sister and a brother and a host of relatives and friends to mourn her loss. Funeral services were held Feb. 17, at 2:10, from the Second Baptist church, of which she was a member. The services were conducted by Rev. P. D. Skinner, of Coffeyville. The remains were laid to rest in Mount Hope cemetery. Miss Oma Mae Fitz, of Coffeyville Kansas, was the guest of Miss Anna Reddins, from the 11th to the 17th. Mr. O. W.

Miss Frances McPherson is the only representative of her race in the senior class of the High school here. Miss M. V. Adams was the only one last year. She graduated with honors and is continuing her studies at the Topkha Industrial Institute. Miss Jessie Lucas, Miss Sibyl Lucas and Miss Deborah Stewart are candidates for graduation in the class of 1915. Mr. H. H.

Southern Senator Declares Women in "Black Belt" Live in a State of Terror. Washington, Feb. 6.—After another day's debate on the race question the senate agreed to vote tomorrow on the final passage of the Lever agricultural extension bill. Senator Gallinger shatted today's argument with a statement in favor of the Jones amendment to provide that Negro agricultural colleges in the South shall share in the administration of the proposed fund for farm demonstration. This brought fourth extended remarks upon the Negro by Senator Vaidanu, who declared it would be a God-send if the Negro was not permitted to vote in any state. He added that the Republican party was getting tired of the black in politics and was considering a way to get him out of the national conventions. Senator Clapp protested that what Senator Vatidaman was saying about the inability of the Negro to advance alone was not applicable to the mixed bloods of Minnesota. Describing present conditions in the "Black belt" the Mississippi Senator said the women of the Southern states were living today in a state of seige with more dread than in the days when the wild man and wild beast roamed the frontier. "And yet," he added, "some men who know no more about the subject than I do about political economy of the planet Mars would tell you all about the Negro problem." Senator William Alden Smith of Michigan, -expressed his opinion that the possession in the South of $500, 000,000 worth of property by the Negroes was a tribute to the Latent ability of the race.

Spencer, greeting: You are hereby notified that you are being sued for divorce and alimony in the above entitled cause, and that the petition was filed in the District Court on the 25th day of Aug. 1913.

HERBERT LAWSON TO CORRESPONDENTS. It would save much annoyance and stress on the part of of compilers if our corre pondent would not use a term as "vested day," "today or "tomorrow" in writing be always give the date; and be sure not to write on but on side of the paper. Farm and Garden Reckoning the Cost of Keeping Farm Machinery Under Cover. A correspondent of the Kansas Farmer says that paper places undue importance upon the necessity of sheltering farm implements and that the cost of lumber and interest on the investment in a machinery shed is greater than the depreciation on implements as a result of exposure. The paper replies: The average 100 acre farm is regarded as having $1,000 invested in farm machinery, including wagons and bugles. It is our judgment that the average Kansas farm has nearer $1,000 invested. We are confident that the depreciation on farm equipment when exposed to the storms is not less than 10 per cent per year. We are inclined to the belief that it is 20 per cent per year. We know that a 20 per cent depreciation will apply to at least a part of the equipment. "The more equipment exposed to the weather the larger the depreciation in dollars and cents. One hundred dollars will erect a first class machinery shed. If $100 is not available $50 will erect a shed sufficiently large to house in a very satisfactory manner $1,000 to $1,500 worth of machinery. The $50 shed will be smaller than the $100 shed, and its use will require some piling up of machinery. "This, however, can be done with no cash outlay and with little outlay of time and labor. If the depreciation on the shed itself is 5 per cent per year and the interest on the investment is 5 or 6 per cent per year there is still a considerable amount in favor of saving the 10 per cent or minimum depreciation on the machinery. "It does not seem possible that a wide awake farmer would argue against the advantages of good machinery care, even though it be impossible for him to provide a machine shed." FLOUR BARREL COOP. Cheaply Made and Provides Plenty of Room For the Chickens. Flour barrels make excellent coops, roomy and cheap, says Farm and Fire-side, from which this article and illustration are taken. A little frame is made for the front, consisting of four pieces of board, the uprights 6 by 24 inches, and two cross pieces, top and bottom. 2 by 20 inches. Fasten frame to front of barrel by wire, leaving opening for door. ```markdown ``` Fasten it so that a slide door eight inches wide can be easily dropped in from the top This door is made of one half inch mesh cellar window wire, nailed FLOOR BARREL This door is made of coop. one half luch mesh cellular window wire, nailed or stapled to strips of wood. This gives good ventilation and is absolutely vermin proof. Cover barrel with old tin roofing or spouting, so as to make it rain proof and prevent the sun from warping it. Of course a coat of paint will add to its attractiveness, but it is not necessary for practical purposes. Runs of any size made of wire netting can be attached to the barrel, and with netting over the top of runs the chicks are safe from crowns or the annoyance of grown chickens. Barrels and runs can be easily moved to fresh ground. The runs are made substantial by the addition of a few stakes driven into the ground to support the wire netting. Grow more leguminous crops and keep animals to consume these plants. This will build up your soil and increase the profits of your farm. What the Lawyers Tell Us. As a general rule, the owner of a vicious animal who has notice of its vicious character is liable for any injury committed by it and due to its fault. A person who, with knowledge that his agent, in violation of his authority, is purchasing goods for use in the business of his employer, fails to disent will be held to have rattled and adopted the agent's notes.- E. D. Keyes & Co. Versus Union Pacific Tea Company (Vt.), 71 Atlantic 201. If you sell food to a middleman, who sells it to the consumer and the road proves to be diseased to such as extent as to cause disease in the consumer, then you are liable to the consumer for the damage to his health. This is the decision of Judge Naves in the federal district court in New York. A written contract should be drawn and signed by both the landowner and the center with a mutual agreement a communicated. This may avoid a misunderstanding, and present trouble in oral contract should be as binding as a written agreement, but the oral contract may be forgotten or its stipulations not fully understood.

Mr. Branche, himself a postal clerk for twenty-five years, entertained complimentary to the Postal Clarks' Alliance, and of the thirty-five men so employed, living in the two Kansas Cities, the majority made it possible to be present, bringing their ladies. The evening was given over to a program descriptive of the varying steps in the postal clerk's life from substitute to clerk in charge.

We are once more proud to be able go to press with our dear readers, after such long absence in the west and southwest. Our visit taken us through Geary, Saline, Dickerson and Hutton counties, to Hodgeman in county where our people were doing well, regardless of the past dry season. We must say that our folks have awakened to a long forgotten duty, giving their families protection by simple insurance. At Junction City we shook hands with our old friend, John Talbot, who has been working for the U. P. Ry. Co., for years, and a realing good. He has the esteem of all the officials with whom he is connected. At Salina, Kansas, our friend Wesley Shoh still has a big rush of business. Mr. Shoh runs a Taxiway Lane, the only enterprise of its kind owned and controlled by a colored man in Kansas. A we crossed Barton county from Heisington to Great Bend we found the prejudice being broken a little, to what it was a few years ago. Some of our boys were working there at the hot and other places. Oh, if we only had Hosington, Kansas down in Mexico. At Great Bend, our people are still climbing toward the top on the ladder. Some are working hard while the others are like our for-parents, looking for Jesus to come driving by with a load of meat and float, to guard them for their praying. Rev. Ramsey is holding a soil of meetings with some success and declares he will continue it till June but what he out wits Satan. We also found Mrs. Brooks very sick there. Mr. Neal Irvin is still in the restaurant business. Mr. Irvin has seen several start and go since he opened, but he is still on the job. Mr. Everett Selectman will also remodel his buter shop. Among the leading farmers of Barton county, we met on our trip, were Hays Fox, Andrew Micheaux, Jake Brown, Henry Brown, Jack Johnson, Edward Poole and Mr. Walker, who is just across the line in Stafford county. If these men meet with success and the big wheat acreage return large percentage, they will be numbered among the big wheat men of the wheat belt. We also visited the Methodist Sunday School at Rev. Ramsay's church, conducted by Mrs. Ollie Robinson, as superintendent and we believe it is one of the best regulated Sunday Schools in the state. At Kinsley, Kansas, we spent a short time doing some business. While there, we were the guest at Mr. Edward Munnis and Rev. Orion W. Freeman, both leading men in their community and by their eagerness, their people are a success. As we went south, through Hutchinson, our friend, W. W. Evans, whom you all know as the western politician, had just left for Topeka, to be present at the Kansas Lincoln Day Club, that hatched out our candidate, H. I. Monroe, for State Auditor. Also the old site that has been familiar to so many western travelers for years, where the famous rice horse man, Andy Simms did business has been torn down, to make place for a more modern building, that won't be a sore to the eye. We changed cars at Herrington, Kansas. Here is the home of Miss Pearl Twiman, who is teaching in little Tuskegee school, at Topeka, who both white and colored here speak of the highest terms. Our next stop was at Cullwell, Kansas. Here we met Rev. Ward who has lived here for years. Rev. Ward has been noted among the leading colored men of Kansas. He owns the city property and owns extensive farming tracts over the country. Mr Wyatt Hurts is very busy trying his hand at losing chickens and hogs. Messrs. Ross and Guild are farming here. They are the backbone of the coloured people of this place. J R Wheatley runs a small grocery here. His people try to keep him down to some extent, but the white merchants don't do any better by them than we do. The white merchants guardish them to get their money and they want Wheatley to wait on them until they get ready to pay. Our next stop was at Enid, Okla. Our people are climbing toward the top of the ladder, regardless of the Jim Crow laws that exist. We find conditions far all along the line, considering Oklahoma. But we must admit that we come back to Kansas and lived right in Manhattan, the best town in the state. We found some of our dear friends very sick, among whom is Rev. Jno. H Taylor, of the Methodist church. Rev. Taylor is about the same at this writing. Mr. Gilbert Harrison had a very sad occurrence at his residence on last Wednesday evening, by a lamp explosion, that caused about a sixty on seventy-five dollar fire loss, beside his daughter, Mrs. J. C. Walker, getting very badly burned, of which she is much better at this writing. A few years ago, the members of Ms. Zion church built a $100) church in the air, now, the Second Baptist church will soon begin a big structure We hope it will be on the ground and not in the air. Stay success be with them. Mr. Lee Roberts of 9th and Riley, is also very sick, at this writing. Rev. Hentie has known nothing but success since he launched his enterprise, the Rock Island restaurant, close to the R I depot. Rev. W. G. Gurret invites the public and uses every effort to welcome them to services Sunday and at all times. His church doors are open. The Young Folks Literary Clubs are making success. They stand open to accept any challenge to an oratorical contest in the state. Let them hear from you. Address challenges to the secretary, Miss Gertrude Harrison, 710 Pottowatomie Ave., Manhattan, Kansas. Some few weeks ago, this end of the Plaindealer received a letter from some parties in Oklahoma that stated to us that God was with Chief Sam and his African movement. So we find that Sam and his God has not shown up in New York with their money or ship, yet it will soon be time to prepare to plant cotton and the necessities of a livelihood. Mrs. Daniel F. Hines, of Brd and Pott, has been very ill for the last week. She is able to be out again at present. SPRINGFIELD, MISSOURI. At the d.lightful and profitable meeting of the Woman's Musical and Literary Club, the critic, Mrs. Priscilla Bruce, awarded to Mrs. Delia S. Smith honors for the second best quotations. The hostess, Mrs. E. C. Johnson, presented the prizes to Mesdame Jarnett and Smith. The club, after arranging business for the next meeting, was ready for the refreshing hour. Mrs. Johnson, assisted by her lovely daughter, Miss Adele, served to the visitors, who were Misses Cattie Poster, Angeline Denning and Doris B. Cooper and members, an appetizing menu, suitable to the cold day. Each one received a valentine post card, as a souvenir. At a late hour, after the lights had been turned on, the club finally adjourned. The young ladies, Misses Helen Wallace, Thelma Gray, Pherba Higgs, Martha Gray, gave a very interesting and pleasing program at the C. P. church, Friday evening, Feb. 20. A goodly number was present and a neat sum was realized, which speaks well for the young ladies, who need much praise for that helpful spirit manifested for the uplift of God and their church. The pastor, Rev. Dr. Harvey, and members of the A. M. E. church, are engaged in a very successful revival meeting. Much good is being accomplished. Miss Edna Denton, a very amiable young lady of Huntsville, who has been teaching, is in the city, attending High school. She makes her home with Mr. and Mrs. Jno. T. Cooper. Miss Marie Stemmons proved a most charming hostess Tuesday evening, when she entertained in honor of Mrs. O. J. Cobb, of Alberta, Canada. The following were present: Dr. and Mrs. E. A. Harris, Mt. and Mrs. H. S. Thompson, Mt. and Mrs. Clarence Mitchell, Mts. Catter, of Garret, Kansas, Misses A. C. Denning, Mable Andrews, Emma Dabney, Mrs. O. J. Cobb, Mt. C. R Mtt and Mt. W. P.

In all ages of the world, woman has been the central figure around which all joys and sorrows, all inspiration, all aspiration and all accomplishments have circled. In all conditions of life, in all climates, in all Christian epochs, in all countries, she holds this position indispensable among the nations of the world. Without her, there would be no home circles, without home circles, there would be no race nor nations of the earth. The character of the home of the land, the moral and immoral bearing of every settlement, town and city in a large measure, depend upon the class of women, who by nature, unould the sentiment of every department of human control. When we consider the many ways the word "rociety" is interpreted by several classes of people, we often wonder where woman's place is in the social world. That society is controlled by women, cannot be questioned. Her position demands that she take front rank in its crusades against ignorance, vice and crime. She is the light house giving warning of the hidden shoal and guiding away from the rocks which are wrecking the lives of many capable young men and women. In the various fields of activity wherein the twentieth century woman finds herself, there is grave danger that either speaker or audience may partially or wholly lose sight of the great fundamental principle, which under the evolution of the race, namely that man and woman are but companions of each other, the sphere of woman to use a term much favored by the disputants—cannot fail to embrace, and in time to be embraced by the sphere of man. The cause of woman must ever be the cause of man, they rise and fall together. Amore the epistle, there was a curious belief, traces of which may still be seen the monument handed down to us, that man and woman were originally one being, but having offended the great Duty, He decided to cleave them asunder. Separated they were, most unhappy, and their punishment was that for evermore. Their descendants, should man and woman seek to be reunited and only when thus reunited, cease to be restless and discontent. However, much of fable there may be in the legend, the lesson remains the same even to the present day, and no state of civilization succeeds, where in the activities of man are not supplements of those of woman. It is upon this basic principle, the independent and mutual good of the sexes, that woman's place in the social world has her foundation with out creed or slogan, either of constructive or destructive import. The one motive behind and beneath the multiple and activities of the woman, is set forth in the one word "service." In every avenue of life, woman should give her services. This desire to be of service, whenever, wherever and however needed, is the one bond of union which holds the woman of the west, east, north and south both in America and abroad, regardless of religion and condition of love. In one great body of workers whose membership direct and indirect and allied has now passed the one million mark. Although the woman movement seems to be bounded by the limits of the last century, it is in truth, a part of the evolution of the tree of the twentieth century manifestation of the destiny of woman as a help-meet of man. In the onward march through the age, woman should remain unchanged amid the every varying and constantly changing scenes of occupation and environment. From the very beginning of the human race, perhaps even beyond this point, the male animal may be seen in an attitude, which he has been obliged to remain, all adown the ages, when man first appears to the most ardent student of Anthropology, he is fighting now with the wild beast, with an angry force of nature and with other savages and barbarous people. As he advances, he has other battles. Battles for life, liberty and pursuit of happiness, man is a warrior from the beginning and now. He is the inventer, the explorer, the discoverer, the grantor, the three great attributes to a man, it may be fitting to note what are the most attributive of women. Here man may be first what the three discoverers of humanity would expect to find, what ever man has done, women has followed closely. He is or? Then she is in a comfortable position, and she is the injured, born explorer, clergy in a bishop's country on the earth. She is inspirited, encouragement rest. Man is foundation of the home, but what is foundation without a builder? Who makes the home? There are many who would argue Both Phones West 783 301-3 N. 10th KANSAS CITY, KANS COLORED MEN A. B. C.

KANSAS CITY, MO. this point, but point out to me a home without a woman or mother, our nature demands home, it is first essential of our social being—Mother! That name touches every tiber of the soul and strikes every cord of the human heart with its angelic finger. Nothing but death can break its spell. What other associations are linked with home. What phrasing images and deep emotions are awakened. It calls up the oldest memory of life and opens in our nature the purest, deepest rich gush of concentrated thought and feeling. Ask the little child what is home. You will find that to hum it is the world, he knows no other. The father's sense, the mother's care, love and smiles attractive to him as the home of the Angles. The most distinguished warrior, the most elephant mamster and the great, the benefactor of human kind, owe their greatness to the fostering influence of home or mother. Napoleon knew and felt this, when he said: "What France wants is good mothers and you may be sure that France all have good sons." Since it is woman's place to play this part in the home, it may be well and touch the boys and girls self-reliance, teach the girls to work, wash iron, cook and eat, how to make their own dress, that a dollar is only a hundred cents. Every day hard; artificial common sense to say to, and warn it or you and stink to it. To there all the rest too of it the dining room and the pantry. More one lives in it than the one will say. To teach us to do with it to interpete your new, but a good study in it will show, a door refers to the door, that it gives for social life to that of the tree. The room is of no use, no a stainless character, until the delinquent surrounds in order to be more accomplished, one of these facts women have found it necessary to form their own clubs, such as the Federation of Women's Clubs and form the Y. W. C. A. literary and Mother and Daughters club and the clubs are doing such an abundance of constructive work, such clubs as the Catholic Woman's League, whose day nurseries last year cared for nineteen thousand four hundred and four children of working mothers of all nationalities and creeds, who paid the small fee of five or ten cents a day for the best of cars for their babies. But by far, the finest work of these clubs is for protection of our helpless girls. It gives the girls more inspiration of home life to come in touch with these clubs. There are great differences of opinion among the thoughtful women which are disgust among them, which the great influence on vital question of social character in social organizations, that can them be exercised by an independent body of intelligent, thoughtful and unselfish interested members, a great body of women working together, not to rea a moment of their own glory nor to blaze a trail in new and unknown field, but to help in co-operation with the forces already organized as well as by their own combined efforts, the work of harmony in upheld by the civilization. The literary clubs organized, whose aim is self-culture and personalhip are exclusive and carefully elected to the great days of the modern woman's club whose watch word is "service". If education is worth while, if it even as well as paris is worth while, if a more scientific knowledge and practice of domestic science is worth while, if higher and better standards of morality are worth while if a better understanding of fullness of life with its re with while, then most emphatically women's clubs far of value, for along all best and many other lines, are women working together for the building of a kingdom on earth in which to serve her fellow contender. Her greater than any other, has etn the influence of the clubs upon women her self. She has become a better mother, because she has come to know other mothers. It has taught her to be tolerant of the views of those who differ with her it has given her interest beyond the notty gossip of her members and friends; it has buried her personal spites and jealousies. Perhaps, best of all, it has united women in all charges, it has formed a massive chain of earnest active women, a chain which stretches from ocean to ocean in this great republic, she have in touch with the great questions of the world, which her children must soon face, and she, able to intelligently guide them 'to the paths of great safety. We hold that every right is woman's, that I not wrong, some say she must have the ballot, that it is a hardship to restrain her from use. Would the giving of the ballot to woman, tend to purify politics? We think not. Let woman have every right that is not wrong, would this be a right or wrong? Before woman has a broad field of progress Since Christ has done so much for her, should she not try to do all she can for him? There are little child she may lead to the mercy sent in prayer and teach such sweet songs of heaven, that all noise of our cannot hush them in their souls. There are churches she may help with her means and her labor. There are great moral reforms that her subtle and delicate genius may best guide. There is a world to be saved and what better missionary to lead in Heavenward than woman? When woman is for God, the world will be redeemed and not before, mightiest preachers of the truth is she, the fairest apostle of love on earth, treasury of virtue, fountain of affection, exquisitely fitted to point out and truss the road to Heaven.

With an expenditure of half a dollar or even less and an hour's time a seed corn tester may be made at home that will answer every purpose. This simple device for selecting good seed ears is known as the "rag doll tester," probably because it resembles nothing more than a rag dab when it is rolled up and put to soak in a pull of water. Its enclosure was proved in several years' test of it at the Iowa agricultural experiment station, which says that it will select good ears as suitably as the best expensive manufactured testers. Buy a few yards of sheeting of good quality and tear it into strips eight inches wide and from three to five inches long. If it is planned to use the strips a number of times then the edges, as otherwise the travellings sometimes disarrange the kernels in an roiling. Down the middle of each cloth strip lengthwise draw a line with a heavy pencl. Then draw squares about three inches wide and number the squares. Wet one of the strips thoroughly and stretch it out in front of the ears to be tested. Take six kernels from ear No 1 and place in square No. 1; take six kernels from ear No 2 and place in square No. 2 and so on. When the cloth has been filled begin at either end and roll the cloth up. If the cloth is well moistened the kernels will not push out of place. When the cloth has been rolled the string around each end rather loosely or, better still, use a rubber band. Number this roll No 1. Then proceed with No 2 in the same way. As many rolls may be used as are necessary to con- tin the corn which one has to test. From thirty to fifty ears can be tested in each roll, depending upon the length of the strip of cloth. After the rolls have been filled they should be placed in a bucket or tub of water, where they may remain from two to eighteen hours, depending upon the preference of the operator. At the end of this time pour off the water and turn the bucket or tub upside down over the rolls or use a common dry goods box for this purpose. A couple of small pieces of wood should be held under the rolls and one edge of the pall should be lifted from one-half to one inch in order to give ventilation. At the end of five days the kernels should be ready to read. Depending upon the arrangement of ears, select first either roll No 1 or the last roll filled. This cloth will be unrolled in front of the ears represented. Examine all kernels carefully in all cases in which all six kernels are not strong in germination the ear should be thrown away. - Farm Press Truck For Spool Fence Wire.

In wheat fertilization experiments at the Indiana experiment station on clay and loam soils the complete fertilizer gave the largest average increase and the greatest average profit per acre. The use of 500 pounds of fertilizer per acre on wheat proved more profitable than the use of 100 pounds per acre. Trees Are Worth Saving. A tree can be bridged grafted in less than half an hour, and it is better to take this time to do it than to let a valuable tree die. PAYS SIX TO ONE. A man who could invest a quarter and get back a dollar and a half would think he bad struck a good thing. That is about what a farmer can do in the handling of manure. Twenty-five cents' worth of acid phosphates added to the stable manure will return 150 cents' worth of crops. The Ohio experiment station has proved it, many farmers have found it to be so, and yet most of us fail to invest the quarter or make the worse mistake of failing to care for the manure at all—National Stockman and Farmer. FOUR SPUD CROPS A YEAR. Spaniard's Methode May Be Good For Others to Imitate. From Spain comes the report of a spanard who grew four crops of potatoes on the same land in twelve months. The potatoes were grown under ordinary conditions, and the ground was fertilized with horse manure. First crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Aug. 22 and dug Nov. 6, 1911, fair size, firm and good quality; second crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Nov. 9, 1911, and dug Feb. 14, 1912, fair size and very good quality; third crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Feb 21 and dug May 19, 1912, large size and much better than those of preceding crops, fourth crop, Spanish seed potatoes, planted May 22 and dug Aug. 19, 1912, poor yield and potatoes small The grower attributes the poor quality of the last crop to inferior seed, lack of water for fertilization and to several very hot winds that prevailed in July; but, as in other years, the crop of this same period has been a good one, the low yield of 1912 does not detract from the feasibility of the plan - Itural New Yorker. FOES OF THE ROSEBUD. Get After the Fly and the Slug if You Want to Save Your Flowers. To destroy the green fly, colonies of which congregate on the young growth of the mothsushi and suck the juices of the plant, and other insect pests, we spray the bushes with tobacco dust after wetting them so the dust will adhere. We have also found fresh white helleborine dusted on the bushes a very good remedy. A sifter can be made by punching the cover of a baking powder can full of small holes and using the can in the same manner as a salt or pepper shaker. The rose slug, a light green worm that eats the leaves, may be controlled by applying whale oil soap, one half pound dissolved in four gallons of water. The rose slug, a hard shell beetle that eats the leaves and blossoms and greatly damages the roses, is best controlled by hand picking or knocking off on a sheet in the early morning. Rosehubs can be kept quite free of insects, however, byibernally and frequently sprinkling with tobacco dust—Rural Life Keep the Calves "Coming." the calves must be kept "coming," whether they suck the cows or are hand fed Skimmilk calves grow strong and thirsty if given a chance.

Hand spraying is more expensive than power spraying. The cost varies much in different cases, depending on the efficiency of labor, convenience and other essentials, and much depends on the apparatus used. The pump should have capacity to maintain high pressure, and the nozzle must throw a fine spray. The requirements are the same for every kind of spraying.

Austrian or Black Pine Has Advantage Over Other Trees. tages Over Some Other Trees. The Austrian pine, often spoken of as the black pine, is commonly planted throughout the United States east of the Rocky mountains for ornamental and windbreak purposes. Under favorable conditions it will attain a height of sixty or seventy feet, with a diameter of fully two feet at the stump. It is pleasing in appearance, grows erect with a straight, heavy trunk and regular whorls of heavy limbs. The leaves are from five to seven inches long, very dark green and retain their greenness throughout the year. In keeping with the general appearance of the tree the foliage is dense and heavy, which makes it one of the very heat of the pines for windbreak purposes. It is readily propagated. ```markdown ``` Photograph by Kannan State Agricultural College THIRTY YEAR OLD AUMTRIAN FINES OF KANNAN PARK. from seed, but the seedlings are tender and susceptible to several fungus diseases common in nurseries. The seedlings transplant with much difficulty, and there is usually a heavy loss in the first transplanting, but only a small per cent of loss in the subsequent plantings. Only trees that have been transplanted once or twice should be bought for permanent plantings, and these should be from fifteen to twenty inches in height. The Austrian pine is generally propagated by all nurserymen handling coniferous stock and can be obtained in any desired numbers. The tree requires special care in the seedling stage. It is impracticable for any except skilled nurserymen to attempt to grow it—Kansas farmer THE FARMER'S PROBLEM. According to Former Secretary Wilson, every day in the crop growing season is worth K$100,000,000 to the farmer of the United States. This wealth, however, represents the work of nature as well as of men. The big problem for the farmer is to so arrange his affairs that he can keep nature working for him all the time. For the Annapacun Bad. For the Asparagus Bed. The land for an asparagus bed must be well drilled, warm, rich soil and thoroughly worked. For a home patch deep spacing may do, but care must be taken to get the manure well mixed with the soil if host results are desired. For larger tasks the manure should be turned under with a deep. Deep plowing is advantageous in most cases. The first plowing should be done late in the fall, the second early in the spring. Good, strong one-year-old roots are the beat. A long bed single row for the home garden, is better and more easily managed than a short bed of a number of rows. The plants should have plenty of space - American Agriculturist. Let Out the Gas. In severe cases of distention or wind colle the life of the horse may be saved by prompt tapping for the removal of gas. The trumpet and cannula used for the purpose are thrust into the most distended part of the right flank, high up near to the rib and at the edge of the feather of hair which runs the appropriate way of that on the ribs. In a cow tapping is done on the left side. There is little danger in using the in- strument, but it must be sterilized in fore-use, and the wound should be dis- infected after removal of the troar.

No Capital Required. Mr. Howard B. Bardeau, the "play rite," and only recognized colored authority on motion picture plays, has established a school in Topega to teach this pleasant and most profitable profession, through a mail order correspondence. "In this way," said Mr. Bardeau. "I can handle the largest amount of scholars giving the same satisfaction to each and all alike. I am first, last and always interested in the progress of my race and my heart beats with pain, when I observe the thousands of colored boys and girls being annually educated from our public schools and colleges, only to become porters, washwomen and house servants; this fact alone prompts me to share with them my profession, which will give each of them an opportunity to demand from $75 to $150 a month, have also arranged for that class of scholars who may not have the $10 on hand to complete the course of lessons so that they may take one lesson a week at $1 per lesson, costing them twelve dollars to complete the course at only two dollars difference from those who pay in advance." At this point the professor was asked what first prompted him to enter into this profession. "Love of literature," was his prompt reply, and after some hesitation continued. "There comes a time in every man's life when a little self-praise is pardonable, when a man has taken $10, ten little silver dollars saved from a hotel porter's job, and by hard work and close schenling cleared over $4000 in a year, the world will overlook him telling how he did it. Two years ago after a long seige of hard-luck, over which I had no control, I found myself penniless. Many a good man has found himself in the same prediciment and gone down and out for good, but I had considerable experience and a natural love for literature. I secured a hotel job, earned ten dollars, invested the ten in a photo play school and since that time have easily cleared over $8000, and it is the same opportunity that I offer to my school who are willing to work for it." But professor, someone interrupted, "supprise the scholar fails?" "But I won't let them." eh replied. Not where the scholar shows a least touch of originality I myself shall correct their plays putting them into a salable condition.
