Trentman, Wealthy Fort Wayne Business Man, Pleads Guilty to Killing of Head Walter and Is Only Given Indeterminate Sentence. WEALTH AND CLASS VS. LAW. Black Man Cuts White Man in Self-Defense and Gets Long Term in Prison—Living Lesson of American Democracy. On September 28 at Fort Wayne, Ind., Anthony B. Trentman, a wealthy Fort Wayne and Chicago business man, pleads guilty to shooting H. T. Bruce, an Afro-American head walter at the Anthony Hotel, inflicting such a wound upon Bruce that he died in a few days. The case came up before Judge David E. Smith of Decatur, appointed to have charge of the case. After Trentman plead guilty he was given indeterminate sentence of from two to twenty-one years at the state prison at Michigan City. In view of the facts and the causes which influenced Trentman to take the life of Bruce in cold blood, the light sentence which Trentman received is a striking illustration of the favoritism and partiality of the administration of the law in the American states. The facts are that Trentman shot Bruce because Bruce said something to Trentman which Trentman did not like in a conversation between them upon the un-American and vicious principle that a black man should not talk back to a white man. It was a wanton, wilful and wicked murder, in cold blood, with no mitigating circumstances; so much so that any attempt at defense and a trial would have shown that a life sentence would have been an act of mercy. Cuts in Self-Defense. A little while ago a man from Chicago while visiting in Indiana had some difficulty with a white man. During the altercation the Afro-American simply cut the white man, and for this offense he was sentenced from two to twenty-one years in prison, when as a matter of fact he cut the white man in self defense. But he was pursified not according to the law, but in accord with the white man's will and prejudice that a black man has no business to cut a white man, regardless of the circumstances of justification. This case of Trentman, in the light of the case just referred to, shows how urgent it is that the race should be represented not only in the local and state legislative bodies, but in the different branches of the judiciary as the only safe and effective means of self-protection and defense in a democracy where the administration of justice and the law is so closely allied with the feelings and prejudices of the different races. On the other hand it has more than a racial meaning. It discloses also the force of wealth and class as factors in the administration of justice and the law. None is so blind that he cannot see the contrast. The white man killed a black man in cold blood under such a wicked want of excuse or justification that he was oblidged to plead guilty in order to avoid legal exposures and to give the secret forces which he employed in his behalf the opportunity to serve him against the law. He was a white man with money and social standing, and through the instrumentalities of the invisible government he was let off with from two to twenty-one years. The black man cut a white man in self defense; but he was poor and a member of the darker race, with no representation in the government in any of its branches, with no wealth to pull the strings of the invisible government, and he was given as much for cutting a white man as the white man received for murdering a black in cold blood. This is the living lesson of the American democracy to the actions of this earth. How long will the people permit injustice to continue as a blot blot upon American culture and civilization? CONVICT ANY BLACK MAN Atlanta Daily Journal Exposes Inhuman Injustice of Local Courts Which Sentence Innocent Colored Man to Two years in Penitentiary for Crime Which It is Admitted He Never Committed. A remarkable case of misgaken identity occurred in the Fulton county Superior Court Wednesday when a colored man was identified by several witnesses, tried, convicted and given two years in the chain gang for a crime he did not commit. Even the lawyers for the defense did not learn until after the trial that the man they were representing was not their client. It all came about because of a similarity of names. Last Saturday Will Russell, a colored man, was placed in jail as a material witness in a colored murder case. In jail at the same time was another Will Russell, a colored man, under indictment for burglary. Wednesday morning when a deputy sheriff called a list of prisoners to go to the court house for trial he named Will Russell, meaning the colored man under indictment for burglary. The other Will Russell, a witness responded. After diaposing of several cases the court reached the burglary case and Will Russell was called to the dock. Ha sat there while the indictment against him was read, while Mrs. Robert Viewlg of 40 Boulevard Place identified him as the colored man she saw running from her home Aug. 20, after it had been burglarized, while Policeman Grover Fain identified him as the colored man she saw running from her home Aug. 20 after it had been burglarized while Policeman Grover Fain identi- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING OCT. 9, 1914. fled him as the colored man from whise person he had taken a savings bank containing $1.65 that had been stolen from the Viewig residence; while the lawyers made their arguments, while the jury retired, while it returned and brought in a verdict of guilty, and sentenced to two years on the chain gasg, the real culprit was longirg in jail, and the mistake was not discovered until the man was being carried back to jail, when he told the deputy sheriff that a mistake had been made and upon investigation, it was found that the colored man was telling the truth. Unless the judge grants him a new trial, the Negro will have to serve two years for a crime that he knows nothing of. The attorneys for the Will Russel wanted for the crime are planning to ask his release on the grounds of mistaken identity, and if this is granted, the innocent colored man will surely be compelled to serve the two years. The Atlanta Legal Mystery Our neighbor, the New York Times, in an issue last week, discussed edi in an issue last week discussed editorially and at length upon the above conviction and sentencing of a colored man for burglary because he had the name of another. As is has turned out the innocent man given two years for burglary was in jail for no crime, but held only as a material witness in a murder case. His name was William Russell. Another colored man, William Russell, had been lodged in jail for burglary. Three lying white witnesses positively indentified the first William Russell as the man they saw either running from/in the act of, or in possession of the spoils of his burglary. The Atlanta Journal states nothing about the man being called to the stand in his own defence. It is safe to say that not only he but most other colored men tried in the Georgia courts never get a chance to speak in their own defence. The Journal states that the lawyers made their arguments—usually none for the black culprit at the bar of justice—the jury retired, returned and brought in a verdict of guilty, and the judge pronounced sentence of two years and the innocent black man was led away toward the chain gang and the convicts' coal mine. Once out of the atmosphere of the full court of Negro-haters he protested that he was not guilty. The deputy sheriff, convinced that he was telling the truth, made an investigation, and found that the real alleged burglar had been lodged in jail all during the trial. The question naturally arises, are not these lying white witnesses lying altogether? The whole question blazes out in diamond light the monstrous, wholesale unfairness toward black men of the Southern courts of law. The word of any white man however malicious or vicious, is enough to send an innocent black man to a prison term. The galleys of the middle ages, the inquisition of Spain, the Siberian system of Russia, in truth, no more cruel and horrible than the peral system of Georgia and other Southern states. HOW MANY THOUSANDS OF BLACK William Russells have not been sacrificed in satisfying the Southern god of Negrophobial—The New York News. NEGRESS FIGHTS FOR Washington Woman Arserts That Cornell Has Drawn Color Line Against Her Daughter. Ithaca, N. Y., Oct. 2.—An alleged attempt to draw the color line against her daughter, Miss Adeline Cook, a Cornell first year student, has caused Mrs. Catherine Charles C. Cook, a well-to-do colored woman of Washington, to file a protest with President Schurman and to appeal to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, of which Henry Nillard of New York is President. Mrs. Cook says five white girl students from the South have created a situation unpleasant for her daughter in Sage Hall, a dormitory. These girls, she says, demand that Miss Cook and another colored student be barred from the dormitory, but such action the authorities refuse to take. Mrs. Cook now fears that an effort will beimade to segregate her daughter and she proposes to fight. Mrs. Cook, who is very light in complexion, came here sevaral days ago and engaged one of the best rooms. Apparently, she was taken for a white woman of possibly foreign birth, as no objection was raised. When the daughter arrived she was recognized immediately as a Negress and soon the unpleasantness began. Mrs. Cook asserts that the persons in authority in the dormitory suggested that the two colored girls room together, have a separate bathroom and use a reception room down stairs. When Mrs. Cook inquired if other girls were to use this room she was told that "they could go in there if they liked." That led to her protest to President Schurman. Mrs. Cook contends that under Cornell's charter, discrimination on the ground of race is forbidden. That Turkish Affair. Saturday morning daily paper announces that A. Rustem Bey, the Turkish Ambassador is leaving the Glorious United States on his own accord because he could not modify his views on the lynching of Negroes to suit the Southern, chivalric taste of President Wilson and maybe Vardaman. Kindly through your columns extend many thanks to the Turkish Ambassador for the expression he used and for his further stand in the matter in behalf of the Negroes of the South. The Negro for once has had some ones to bring an "official" notice to the President of the United States that some of his countrymen were being lynched Maybe the other Presidents imagined that lynching Negroes was an innocent feature of the Southern Bush League Base Ball, but the Turkish Ambassador made Secretary Bryan "sit up and take notice" that lynching was nothing more or less than down right murder, unworthy of the most barbarous tribes. Sincerely yours, DR. CHAS. B. WICKHAM. AKERS THE MAN! Will Be Re-Elected State Treasurer by Greater Majority. Earl Akers is a carilile for the second term for State Treasurer. He has conducted the office in a first class business manner and has merited the support of the voters for a second term. The business of the office has multiplied about one-third since he has taken hold, which has been about eighteen months. He is the fiscal agent for Kansas and all of the counties and municipalities of the state for which they pay him one-eighth per cent for handling the business which the state of Kansas is not interested in. This is where a howl is sent up because he has saved about five thousand in fees that justly belong to him and which he has earned, and which the law gives him. He is guarding the interest of Kansas and all of the firances entrusted to him in an honest and upright manner. For years, yes, since Kansas has been a state, New York has been the fiscal agent and thousands of dollars have been paid out to act as New York banking institution to handle the state finances on bonds and now because a young Kansas boy, who has lisen from the ranks of the poor, and by working hard to educate himself and conducting his affairs in such a manner that made friends, who had confidence in his future development. He rose from the ranks rapidly, filling county positions, and thence to the State House in the Governor's office, where he was pardon clerk. His many friends pushed him for State Treasurer. He won without a struggle. He is now before the people on the record he has made since in office and from boyhood. He has one of the best clerical forces in the West and they keep their business ahead from two three weeks. Mr. Akers' friends say they would not be surprised to see him run ahead of the ticket as he will receive the support of the Progressives in well as the Republicans and quite a few of the Democrats. --- BLACKS SHOULD SUPPORT HODGES He's the First Governor to Recognize the Race as Citizens in a True Sense---Let us Be Grateful. Joe B. Bass' California Eagle and Other Race Papers Joins The Topeka Plaindealer in Urging the Election of Governor Hodges. Now is the opportune time for the colored voters to show their appreciation of the many good things done in their interest by Governor George H. Hodges. He is the first governor Kansas ever had who was manly enough to come out in the open and declare that they be treated as all other law abiding citizens. In his inaugural address he declared for equal justice for them and since that day he has kept his word. When we called his attention to the condition and treatment of the colored inmates in the various state institutions, and said that there should be colored attendants and nurses to administer and care for them, that white employees let racial feeling come between them and duty and in this way a hardship was thus worked upon them. He readily agreed and went about making openings for colored girls as attendants. The first place open to them was at Osawatomie, where five are employed and he is trying to open all the institutions where there are colored inmates. This is the first time in the history of Kansas that such positions have been open to the colored girls, and when we published the notice asking for applications, more than fifty responded, showing that they had prepared themselves for such work. We must look after our own, for no one else will. Look not to parties, creeds and isms for your success, but to individuals. When we find a man like Governor Hodges who swings open the doors of his office and says to the colored people if they have any business with him to come in and see him instead of some white politician designated to intercede for them as has always heretofore been the custom, it is time that we wake up and show such a man our appreciation and gratitude. He remarked to us a few days ago: "The colored people should look after their own business, and if there is a man, or woman that desires to see me on any matter, let them come in person and I will hear them quicker than through some politician. They deserve a fair and impartial hearing on all matters pertaining to their welfare and advancement, also the general public, and like all other citizens, they will always receive a fair and impartial hearing." Governor Hodges is one of the strongest advocates of fair play in the country, and he is the first chief executive the state ever had to recognize the colored people as humans and citizens. We have visited many different executives at the capitol during the past quarter of century, and usually a colored person had to to be represented by some political boss who would hitch him out in the hall, while Mr. Boss went in and presented your case, and at the clos of the interview, he would return and tell you what the governor had to say regarding he matter, when perhaps your wants had never been Price $1.50 Per Year. D of Parties WOULD ORT HODGES Eernor to Recognize izens in a True s Be Grateful. made known to the governor. However, the visitor would depart full of hope and feeling that he had really interviewed the governor in person regarding his case. This kind of monkey business don't go with Gov. Hodges. All of the appointments, etc., that he has given to the colored people he consulted them first and finding out what they believed best in the matter. Never before have we heard of a white office holder consulting the colored people as to who would be the best man or woman for any position until the advent of Gov. Hodges, and if re-elected, we can expect more. Mr. Mrs. and Miss Colored Voter, don't be a fool. Don't be ungrateful. If Theodore Roosevelt who was given the highest office in the gift of the people by the endorsement of the Republican party can change, why can't you? If you can vote for officers under the commission plan irrespective of parties, why can't you vote for a man like Governor Hodges who has and is doing things for the advancement and uplift for a people who receive the worst of it at every turn of the road. For God's sake learn some sense, be loyal to those who are loyal to you and yours. Former Kansas Newspaper Man Has ewspaper Man Has NICK CHILES. --- High Regard for Gov. Hodgen. Hon. Joseph B. Bass, formerly of this city and one of the best known newspaper men in Kansas, was always known to champion the cause of right and from the following editorial which appeared in his Los Angles (Calif.) Eagle, it can be seen that old Joe's heart is still pure and that he is not resting upon his arms in the fight for racial uplift. Under the capsion, "A Modern Lincoln," Mr. Bass, who knows Kansas politics and Kansas people says: "We are running on our front page this week a clipping from The Topeka Plaindealer showing Governor Hodges' of that state, attitude on the question of human rights. Now Hodges is a Democrat, but it seems since he has been governor for the past two years, that he has seen to it that the colored people of the state received a square deal, especially in so far as he as governor of the state could help them. They were appointed to positions in the various state institutions and in every way they were recognized. He, it seems, was a regular Abraham Lincoln Democrat who stood like a stone wall for a square deal for all men. His answer therefore to some of the 'crackers' who wrote is interesting reading. So in Kansas we believe that unless the provocation is great on the g. o. p. side the Negro voters would be more than justified in standing by a man like Hodges. Or will history repeat itself as in the case of Gov. John W. Leedy, who was the Spanish-American War governor of that state who appointed Nogroes to every conceivable office, gave them a regiment officered by colored men, and for all this, Boland Townsend, Prof. W. T. Vernon and their Hookev Jim argument line up the black phalanx against their political friend and benefactor and the Negro swung back in the old rut." KANSAS CITY, KANSAS. Hon. Neal B. Milligan, the popular president of the Twentieth Century Political club, is enjoying a visit from his mother, who resides in Heron, Tennessee. Mr. Milligan is a young man of high attainments and a leader in state and county politics. The Milligans are one of the oldest and most highly respected families in the Lon Star State, and while in Kansas, she will be royally entertained. Mr. Milligan has resided in Kansas many years and is enthusiastically for the re-election of Governor Hodgess. We Are Interested in Beauty Everywhere. Majors' Oxford College of Hair Culture 4246 W.

BROWN, Cashier. REV. FATHTR SHORTEN'S JUMBLE GREATEST IN HISTORY OF STATE. The celebration of the Rev. Father Shorter's silver jubilee in the priesthood was one of the grandest in the line of such celebrations in the history of the state. The presence of four R. Reverend Prelates is in itself an hero: that is self-fom accorded on similar occasions. The Rt. Rev. Bishop Lillis returned from New York too late to be present at the mass, but immediately on arriving in Kansas City at noon telephoned an expression of his interest in the celebration. His personal donation was the largest given by any individual. The priests of the diocese presented a purse of a considerable amount as a testimonial of Father Shorter's zeal in a field that is so unremunerative. Other donations were also received from personal friend and religious houses, notably from Mt. St. Scholastic Academy. All the houses of the Oblate Sisters of Providence, (the colored sisterhood with the mother house in Baltimore), including those in Cuba, made a present of some handsome article for church use. St. Augustine's Society, a literary society, composed of colored Catholics in Topeka, presented a handsome after-dinner silver set. Dr. C. M. Moates and Hon. Dennis Jones also took note of the occasion, as did the colored people of Holy Epiphany, and their friends, to make a silver offering. Quite a number of friends from Kansas City, Kansas, honored the occasion by their presence. Former parishioners from Kickapoo and Lansing were at the mass in the Cathedral and these, with many friends in Leavenworth, and the school children filled the pews. Besides some thirty of the Leavenworth diocesan clergy, there were present: The Rt. Rev. Bishop Ward; the Rt. Rev. Bishop Hennessey; the Rt. Rev. Bishop Tihen; the Rt. Rev. Abbott Innocent Wolf, O. S. B., president of St. Benedict's College; the Rev. Boniface Verheyen, O. S. B.; the Rev. Gerard Heliaz, O. S. B.; the Rev. Father Wallace, S. J.; the Rev. Adolph Kuhlmann, S. J.; the Rev. Thomas McNeice, S. J. Father Wallace is rector of St. Mary's College. The Jesuit fathers were taken out in the automobile of Dr. Everhardy; and other fathers were taken in automobiles by the kindness of their owners to the fort. The Rev. Father Ennis of Concordia; the Rev. Father Coolen of Schute; the Rev. Father Walsh and the Rev. father Cypuan, O. S. J., of Kansas City Mo., were among the clergy from other dioceses. The altar of the Cathedral was tastefully decorated with lights and flowers. The jubilee mass was as follows: The Rt. Rev. Bishop assisted in mitre and cope. The Rev. Jubilianian, Joseph A. Shorter was the celebrant. The Very Rev. B. S. Kelly was archdeacon; the Rev. Father McNamara and the Reverend Father Dougherty were masters of ceremonies. The Rev. Father Gerard and the Rev. spectively, deacon and subdeacon of the mass. All these marched in procession to the Cathedral preceded by a band of thirty priests. In the van of the procession were the children of the Guardian Angels' Home and the Holy Epiphany church. The members of Holy Epiphany church were given a place of precedence in the Cathedral for the occasion. The choir composed of the colored children, sang under the direction of John M. Joerger, in a manner that elicited much praise. For the offertory was sung by Miss Jessie Oden, a colored lady, of Holy Assumption church, Topeka, in Ave Maria. The sermon of the Rt. Rev. Bishop Tihen was an eloquent discourse on the New Testament, fords'adowed by the priesthood of the old law. The people of the Epiphany church, he said, should respond to the labors of their pastor who prays for them and weeps for them. The reward he looks for in this world is their own virtuous lives, and hereafter he hopes for recompense from God. After mass the Rt. Rev. Bishop Ward gave benediction with the blessed sacrament. "The Divine Praises," a devotional anthem, was sung by Mr. Joerger, and then all joined in singing the To Deum, which for 1.500 years has been sung in the Catholic church. It was the hymn intoned by Columbus when he discovered the new world. At dinner there were interesting toasts. The Very Rev. Father Jennings was toastmaster and at the close Father Shorter expressed his sentiments in a very timely talk. to Rev. Bray and family Tuesday evening before leaving for Atchison to attend the annual conference a fine program was rendered and some excellent talks were made by Dr. Abel, Rev. J. H. Rogers, Mr. N. H. Jeltz and others. After a very fitting response by the minister and wife, some beautiful presents were given them. A tempting luncheon was served later and all report a good time. Mrs. Isaac Butler is quite ill at this writing. All wish for her a speedy recoveryy. The Household of Ruth met in a very successful session Thursday afternoon. All officers and members were present. The Order of Eastern Star met Friday at the usual hour. We urge all to be present at the next meeting to plan for a recital in the near future. On Oct. 17th, the Hanns Jubilee company will give a concert at Convention hall for the benefit of the A. M. E. church. Miss Jessie Roberts, Mr. and Mrs. Fantang and Mrs. Bowen, of Saint John, Sundayed in the city the guests of relatives. The following have returned from conference and report an excellent time: Mrs. W. W. Evans, Mrs. B. M. Crowe, Mrs. B. Tyler, Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Jeltz, Mr. and Mrs. T. M. Reeves, Mrs. Mahala Kirk, Rev and Mrs. Bray. We are pleased to note the return of Rev. Bray as pastor of the A. M. E. church for the ensuing year.

GRIFFIN.) Kansas has always been noted for her efficiency used in seeing that the deaf and dumb are properly educated, and in a way that they can independently fight life's rugged battles without seeking alms. Kansas mutes win their bread in all walks of life. They are engaged as carpenters, brick masons, tailors, printers, farmers, etc., and all have been educated at Olathe and are succeeding nicely. The State School for the Deaf and Dumb is conceded to be the finest institution of the kind in the country. Today finds the school bigger and better than at any time during its long and interesting career. It was our good fortune to visit this splendid school several days ago, and we were amazed at its wonderful growth and activity. It is producing a class of useful citizens—boys ? and girls that are a credit to the state's citizenship and a blessing to society and mankind. Mrs. Kate S. Herman, the superintendent, is one of the most remarkable women he country has ever produced, and it is her wonderful skill and ability that is keeping the school in the forefront of like institutions. open to all children in the state who The Kansas School for the Deaf is are too deaf to be educated in the public schools. Everything is furnished free of charges except clothing and traveling expenses. School is in session from September to June, the present session opening on the 9th with an unusually large enrollment. They have already reserved places for 252 children, and only a few of them are still detained at home to help on the farms. These children are normal—their limitation is only that of lack of hearing. They are as fine a bunch of boys and girls as can be found anywhere. Children are accepted at six and one-half years old. Usually when entering school they don't know their own names—not having heard and have no vocabulary. But each year a class is graduated and many of its members take the college examination and go to college. This year the largest class in the history of the school successfully passed the examination and will take advantage of the privilege of a college education. The only college for the deaf in the world is located at Washington, D. C., and supported by Congress. The college authorities prepare the examination questions and grade all papers. Every school for deaf in the United States uses the same questions on the same day. The Kansas school was never in better condition than at present and its outlook is flattering. The buildings, while old, are immaculately clean and all "the corners" are in excellent repair. During the past summer practically the whole inside of the place was freshly painted—new plumbing and electric lights installed, and many other improvements made—among them several lond-needed permanent additions to the school equipment. What this institution especially needs is generous and judicious spending. They have twenty teachers in the literary department and every class is overcrowded. They aim to give every child the elements of trade to fit him for self-support after school days. They teach the boys trades: Carpentry and cabinet making, painting, printing, shoe and harness making, baking. Girls: Domestic science in various branches. They have a foreman or forewoman at the head of each manual department to teach these trades. Naturally Governor Hodges is now and always has been intensely interested in this school and never loses an opportunity to raise its standard. During his service as state senator he secured an increased appropriation for the school and was largely responsible for all the good things that came to them. He was brave enough, to appoint a woman as superintendent of this school—the first woman superintendent of a state school for deaf in the United States. His test is the test of efficiency. LANRED. The new State Hospital which was recently opened at Harried is not only grand in the way of magnificent buildings, beautiful grounds, etc., but, also for efficiency, in which it stands second to no institution of its kind in the United States. Dr. B. F. Hawk, supernendent of the institution, is a man who stands at the head of his profession. He is an earnest, tireless worker and his ambition is to lead in whatever he sets his hand, and though the institution has just opened, in discipline and every point, it has the ear mark of institutions that have existed for years. Dr. B. F. Hawk, superintendent at Columbus, Ohio, in 1891, and practiced medicine in that state for nine years, coming to Kansas in 1900, he located n illarper county, where he built up a large practice, and continued in general practice all the time, excepting two years, when he had charge of a general hospital at Arkansas City, Kansas. The Larned Hospital is the prettiest spot in all Kansas. It is located five miles from the city of Larned upon a thousand acres of rich bottom land. The buildings stand upon a beautiful mound overlooking miles of pretty landscape. The buildings are all modern, sanitary, clean and neat as a pin, and the service is the best that can be obtained. The writer was contacted through the institution by Dr. Hawk, personally. The farm is well stocked, plen- THE NEW YORKER DR. B. F. HAWK. ty of good, pure water and every-ting handy and pleasant for the state's unfortunates. As all other state institutions, it is under the supervision of the Board of Control, and with a fine physician at the head, in the person of Dr. Hawk, this institution stands out as a proud monument to Kansas thrift, energy and enterprise. We glean the following extracts from the Superintendent's report, and these facts will give an idea of what the institution is doing, and how it is prosepring; Power House and Commissary. This building consists of an engine room, boiler room, engineers' rooms, and a commissary under one roof. This structure is built of brick and concrete, and equipped with the necessary machinery of the latest design. In this connection, there is a pump house for the water plant. BUY COAL FOR CASH AND SAVE THE CASH The water plant consists of a well, a tank and a tower. The well is one hundred and twenty feet deep and furnishes an abundance of pure, soft water. The tower and tank is of steel and has a capacity of 2500 gallons, affording ample pressure for fire protection. Irrigation Plant. In selecting the farm location, the board had in mind the irrigation of the land from Pawnee Creek. In pursuance of this plan, a dam ninety feet long, sixteen feet wide, and thirteen feet high was built across Pawnee Creek near the base of Jenkin's Hill. On the bank of the creek, above the dam a pumping plant has been installed, consisting of a pump house, twenty feet by thirty feet, built of concrete and brick. In this a Fairbanks Morse 60 Horse Power Oil Engine, and a centrifugal twelve inch, vertical, belt driven pump, which has a capacity of 4200 gallons per minute, have been installed. Above the pump house, irrigation ditches lead out over the farm. Water was turned on this spring, and the system is working very well. Sewerage System. Since it was the plan of the Board to build several cottages, a complete sewerage system has been installed for the group. At present, three thousand feet of sewer pipe have been laid, and a septic tank built. This will mean a great saving to the state when the remaining cottages are built. Farm Buildings. The farm was very well equipped when it came into the hands of the cottage, barn, dairy-barn, silo and all other out buildings have been completely over-hauled and painted. Live-Stock. The farm is equipped with two mule teams, and one driving team. We are badly in need of two more work teams, and I would advise the purchase of two teams of brood mares. Our dairy herd consists of nineteen head of Holstein milch cows. These are young and well bred. In addition there are twelve head of calves. The swine herd consists of eighteen hogs and pigs. For the year 1913, and spring of 1914, four hundred and thirty-five acres of wheat land was rented out to tenants. The State will receive one-third of this as rent. The prospects are good for a large yield. We have seventy-five acres in alfalfa, ninety acres in corn, twenty acres in feterla, twenty acres in kafir corn, twenty acres in garden truck and fifteen acres in potatoes. The spring and forage crops are making a good showing for this season of the year. On April 7th 1914, we received the first patients. These were males, forty in all, who were transferred to the Larned Hospital from the Topeka and Osawatomie State Hospitals. Employment Of The Insane. In the proper care and treatment of the insane patients it is very important that they be given light, useful employment. Some help in the kitchen, dining room, engine room, and dairy barn. Others work at various employments over the farm. With the assistance of one concrete man and one attendant, they have put in a reenforced concrete top on the large dam, built retaining walls, and have laid three thousand feet of cement sidewalk. We have planted six hundred trees, and have done lots of grading and general fixing up around the buildings. The inmates enjoy being out and take more or less interest in their work. They eat better and sleep sounder now, and all of them have improved physically, and many have made marked improvement mentally. There has been the usual amount of sickness and minor injuries among the patients, nothing of serious nature, however. Chapel Services The pastors of the Protestant churches of Larned, alternate in holding preaching services in our living room every other Sunday at three P.M. The patients enjoy these services. Quite a number of Larned's citizens also attend. We have Catholic service when requested. OSAWATOMIE In our rounds over the state we had a few hours stop in Osawatomie, and dropped in to see that tried, true friend of the colored race, Dr. F. A. Carmichael, superintendent of the state hospital. He is doing a wonderful work for the state's unfortunates and since coming to the institution, many needed improvements have been made. The grounds, buildings and walks have been repaired and beautified and everything placed in first class order. There is not a harder worker in all Kansas than Dr. Carmichael. He is on the job early and late. He does not try to conduct the institution from his office, but goes over the institution personally and is in close touch with every detail. Dr. Carmichael conducted us through the institution personally, and took great pride in pointing out the many improvements and what had been planned for the future. The commissary and cold storage, a handsome, modern structure forty-five by one hundred and seventy-five feet, two stories high, is one of the finest of its kind in the country and was erected at a cost of about $25,000. It is at this institution, where five colored girls—nurses and attendants have been placed upon the pay rolls of the state. It is the first time in history that these doors have swung outward to the girls of the race, and it is all due to the honesty and manliness of Governor Geo. H. Hodges, with he strong sanction of Dr. Carmichael, these girls were "placed on trial" and the Director informs us that they have made good—that he is highly pleased with their services, and his only regret is that the step had not been taken ere this time. This institution is a model of its kind, and each day adds to its magnificence and glory, and finds it rapidly nearing the height of perfection. Our stop at the institution was indeed a source of great pleasure, and we greatly enjoyed spending a few hours with Dr. Ceasmichael. He is bright brainly and brilliant and can always recite things worth while.

GERTUDE DEE, Notary Public, Commission expires April 1916, rn TT THE TRUTH HURTS. A. Rustem Bey, the Turkish Am beseador, has announced his inten tion to leave the country. It is re Ported that the uforesaid determina tion has caused “a profound sensa tion in diplomatic circles,” althoug! the exact quality of the sensation | ot divulged. Whether A. Ruste Bey bad vo impressed his personality his high-class diplomatism and all: roand good fellowship upon the dip lJomatic college as to render his sepa: ration from the service in this coun try @ source of probable Inharmony; or whether the “sensation” is merely @n axpression of the customary dip- lomatic au revoir, amounting to littl more than cold formalism and empty «courtesy, can only be conjectured. Let we hope that the departure of Bey is attended with sincere regret: on the part of the foreign legista- tions, But whatever may be the real sen- timent and feelings at the legations, there fs but Mttle doubt touchirg those of the “powers that be.” The “unspeakable Turk” has essayed to express an honest opinion upon a subject concerning which his goverm ment was violently assailed by the Apnerican press, and a vast body of American citizens. As to whether the Ambassador was privileged, ur der the established code of diplo- matic proprieties, to express his hon- est convictions, even in defense of ‘his own government when assailed, when it beppens that such convic- tions, when expresed might be “ob- fectionable” to the goverfment’ to which: he Is accredited, we do not know. We do know that the Ambes- sador djd exercise the right of free speech—by the way, one of the very highest privileges incident to Ameri- can eitizenship—and also that he did not depart‘very far from the facts 0% at least ons subject. Concerning the uprisings {7 Tur- key agains: Christians, as to the real cause of provocation, the extent of persecution and the quality of jus- tifleation on the part of this govern- ment in ¢hreatening to send werships to Turkey, we are not fully or satis- factorily informed; that is purely a matter of fact to be determined and atte? upon by the injured party. At preseng there is variance as to state- ment of condition, one party attribut- ing disturbances in Turkey to a fiend- ish tolerance, {f not encouragement, of widespread persecution of Chris- tians, while the other contends that whatever persecutions or massacres exist or have existed, were due to provocation under which any people might commit similar acts, and cites the Iynchings of colored people in this country and the “water cure” in the Philippites in emphasis of his contention, The remar'J:ble thing about the controversy is that while the Ambassador admits that rasse- ‘eres occur in Turkey, it must be ad- valtted that Iynchings—which are no Jays evormoua than massacres, in point of moral turpitude—are of al- most daily ovcvrance in this country. As there can be no justification for ‘qaking drman life, exppt in une ‘questionable self-defense, or by due Process of law, whereby the accused may exercise the right of unpreju- -diced Judicial trial, bt looks very like “the pot calling the kettlé black” and worgests that— “He who hopes his,wen will not of- » ferid, Should overtook the pimples of his Hh y ne okt pedal”? soni PFs at ‘ no ry yells the vidicult tatbqutearn- rein? ean folate justice Fe ae K oe, venient mate | ahd aire ‘we aR see nothing very tanmige” in ‘thst part of A. tf fe TOMER Ce ee Pat bw bee ats Wer wend a wsth faye at srene Vaud bag [ete alee be Rostem Bey’s statement which re lates, to the sbomizable, flendish an unprovoked lynching of colore Americans; it is true, unqualified!

He reports having a nice time, and that the colored people are doing nicely and holding their own. The races are dwelling in peace and harmony and everything is as pleasant as a marriage bell. Mr. Taylor is one of our most industrious citizens. . Mr. John M. Dorsey, one of the "big mitts" on The Topeka Plain-dealer left Monday for Joplin, Mo. to aid his sister, Mrs. Charles H. Kray in looking after her husband, who is indisposed. A number of Mr. Dorsey's friends claim that, his sudden departure, was for the purpose of meeting a certain Topeka belle and claim her as his own. However, Dorsey, is a pretty truthful sort of a fellow, and we are going to accept his story until confronted with proof to convince us otherwise. --- The Plaindealer is always glad to hear of and write about young colored girls of the race, such as Miss Lizzie Holder of Marlon, Kansas, who is employed in the firm of T. Gensen's Produco Co., as head candler and time keeper in the dgg shipping department. She has been employed by this firm for two or three years and has under her supervision several white girls. She holds a responsible position and we know of no other colored girl in the state, holding such a position. There is perfect harmony among the employees and the firm should be commanded for giving this competent, young lady of the race a chance. Miss Holder also deserves much credit for the thrift and energy she has displayed in performing her duties. Mr. Geo. Carpenter of Lowman Hill has just returned from a successful land hunt in Cherry county, Nebraska. He went from Graham County in a "Prairie Schooner," and while there, secured 320 acres of good land. He will homestead it and live on it for the next two years. He says that a person can take up (if they have not previously taken up land) 640 acres and if they have can take up 480 acres. The land is getting very scarce now, he says. The main locator is Mr. Dewitty and there is also a Mr. Crawford. Mr. Dewitty is an unusually shrewd man. His post office is Banner, Nebraska. He says he is well pleased with the land. The two most important crops are Irish potatoes and corn. Potatoes have yielded 200 bushels per acre and in the last 8 years, they have not had a failure. Water is fine and can be found at a depth of from 30 to 40 feet. HANN JUBILER SINGERS FOR C. E. FLOWER FUND. The Christian Endeavor union of Topeka has arranged to have the Happy Jubilee Singers at the Auditorium on Monday evening, October 19. This is a talented company and one of the committees in charge can beautifully recommend. It is composed of Christian people and is one of the finest, best companies of colored talent, ever, organised. The humorous sort is of the most refined and wholesome type. The program includes also a number of popular classics. This is their seventh international tour and from time to time they are great demanders. It is with regret that we receive the sad news of the untimely death of Mr. Booker Ross, Jr., the son of Rev. and Mrs. B. R. Ross, which occurred in New Mexico. The details of the railroad accident that resulted in his death have not yet been learned and will appear with obituary later. --- Miss Berdie Scott was hostess of the first meeting of the Dumas Art club, which met Friday, Oct. 2.

Monday to take a position as nurse. Miss Carleton is a bright, industrious young lady, capable and well qualified, having had three years training in the general hospital at Kansas City, Mo. Her services on this paper have been invaluable and while we regret to lose her, we feel and know that by going, she will be the gainer, but should our good friend, Dr Carmichael fail to treat her right, there is always room in this office for her. Miss Carleton will leave Monday morning for her new post of duty. OBITUARY.

London, September 29,—Giving a direct lie to all stories that he had taken out French naturalization pa- pers, Jack Johnson, the world’s cham- Pion pugilist, visited the American embassy yesterday and took an oath that he is a citizen of the United States. He then received a passport to travel in Russia. Johnson was rigidly cross-exnmin- ed by his wife, her .nald, his even dreamed of expatriating him- self, He devounces as merely newspaper inventions the continous statements that he was a Frenchman, To back this up he showed a passport obtain- ed from the American ambassador in Paria six months ago, which has now expired. He says he was In Russia a few weeks ago, then traveled to Berlin, theneg: to Paris and then came to London, Johnson drove up to the embassy’s office in a big limousire, accompani- ed by his white wife, her maid, his manager and trainers. The only cotored man in the party was John son's sparring partner, He said he was going to Russia te fulfil theatrig4al engagements, con- tracts for which he had made long ago, His wife and retinue will ac- company him, Her diamonds so dat- zled the clerk who made out the pass- port that he scarcely could see to fill in the blahk spaces. | oe Ee Best Short Order House Everything First-Class, in Coffeyville.

She is a lady of respectability and untiring industry. Mr. Ewing, the groom, is not so well known here, having recently come here form Union City, Tenn. They have gone to housekeeping near Spring Hill. "The Farm Product Show" held here Oct. 1st and 2d, was the biggest and best thing ever pulled off in Paola. Every conceivable farm product was on exhibition and the corn, wheat, oats, watermelons, pumpkins and fruit, live stock, poultry and fancy needle work, were marvelous for quality and quantity. In the parade Friday were two thousand school children and fifty-sven floats. The colored children were given a prominent place in the parade and acquited themselves with great credit. Misses Alma Taylor and Clede Hess, showed good sense by appearing in the ranks of the High school. These are intelligent young ladies and the race is proud of them. Paola needs a few more fathers like Henry Dillard and we would have had more colored children in the parade Friday. Mr. Dillard has raised up a large family of boys and girls and they are among our most useful and industrious citizens. Mr. Samuel Dillard has bought the Fox property in the First ward. He is saving and enterprising. In the floods from the country Friday colored pupils were very conspicuous, well dressed and well behaved. This is a praiseworthy for their parents.

MY SOTTO IS TO RAISE UP, LIFT UP AND TO LOOK UP, Evangellstic services are being held every night at the Ladies Ta- bernacle hall, 609 W. Railroad St, North’ Topeka. A spiritual time is witnessed in avery service. The soul reviving, evangelist is sparing so pains in damonstrating the gospel, The sermons are full of truth and spirit and all who have heard the gospel as it Is sourded from his lips ‘will repeat thelr visit. The meet- jira arg attended by many every night. Rev. R. C. Ponyon is one sinong tle many young men, caming Into our city, that has an arm out- ‘stretched to our falling boys and mary efforts have been put forward ito try to save our sons and-daugh- ‘ters from the great pit of eternal damnation, Many efforts:are” being ‘put forth to show our young men ‘and our young women the neceasity of living above the slum life. It is trua you cannot imaka a gentleman until you find a man. To be a true gentleman dozs not depend upon the tailor or the toller, neither ts it nece sary to bs a grand father tobe = gentleman, Bicod will degenerait. Good clothes ars not good habits. A gentleman fs a man who fs gentle, titles graceful accomplishments, su- perior culture, Princely wealth, and great talent and gonius dgos ‘it constitule a man with all the at- tributes needed to make him a gen- tleman. He may be awkward, an- gular, homely or poor and yet be- long to the uncrowned aristocracy. His face may be bronzed at the forge or bleached at the mill, his hands huge and hard, his patched trousers, like Joseph's coat—of many colors, and he may still be a true gentleman. Therefore the poor man with « rich spirit in God is in all ways suporior to the rich man with a worldly mind and the slum desire. The poor are only those who really know not God. But he who has lost all, but retain his moral courage, his cheerfulness, hope, virture, and self respect and lives above the slum life, these are ‘they. that have part with God and shall fing in the kingdom in the coming day as the brightness of the firmaments. Water and oil will not mix, neither will good morals mix ‘with bad ha- bits, If the good ba trus to iteelf, as the reflection of good deeds fl- luminate the path of mary, so can good moral men and women reach out, their hand pnd help save our boys and girls, Every one is welcome to visit our meetings, Services are conducted by thetEvangelist, Rev, R.
