Plaindealer

THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER Our Special Scribe Tells of the Citizens. Bemoria, Kan., the great school town, where there are thousands of students, and among them some Negroes, was the next town your traveling man "fell into," and below we give you a peep at our folks. There are four colored churches with excellent structures, and all have excellent men at their heads. The Baptist church is pastored by Rev. Morrow; the A. M. E. church has Rev. Sandford as its pastor; the C. M. L., Rev. Jacobs; and the Christian church, Rev. Duke. Much enthusiasm is manifested along religious lines. There are no colored schools at Emporia. Our people attend mixed schools. Numerous good homes are owned by Negroes. The scribe spent his first night at Mrs. A. Phillips' rooming house, a magnificent two-story place, well equipped for the comfort of the best of the race. She also owes two other valuable places adjoining her hotel. Her daughter, Miss Sadie, is an artist of note and her paintings are above criticism. She is a product of Olathe high school and also attended the State Normal at Emporia. She is one of our prepared girls, possessing a trained head, heart and hand. These people are a credit to our race. The Taylor restaurant is one of the colored places of business at Emporia owned and operated by Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Taylor, located at 715 Commercial street, and by serving the best they enjoy a nice trade. See them when you are in Emporia. One of the broad minded Christian gentlemen at Emporia is Mr. J. Mitchell, manager of the Emporia Ice and Cold Storage Co. He has helped the Plaindealer for years and has for a motto: "All men up." He belongs to that class of men who believe in the Golden Rule, and if the world had more such men it would be much better. He always has an encouraging word and some financial assistance for us. One of our friends who doesn't have us dolging from "hot air" when we call on her is Mrs. Carrie Faw, 327 State street. She owns a small farm in the country and conducts a rooming house in the city of Emporia, where she offers the public the best rooms. Mrs. Faw is a member of the Second Christian church and a woman full of push. Miss Mildred Johnson, formerly of Iola, Kan., entertained some of her young friends at the palatial home of Mi. and Mrs. J. L. Brown, 317 State street, recently with a whist party. Refreshments were served and all enjoyed the occasion very much. The following were Miss Johnson's guests: Miss Lowry of Oklahoma, Misses Marie Elliott, Clara Rice, Elizabeth West, Rila Davis, Currie Davis, Laura Davis, Messrs. Tom Hutchinson, Cooper, Carlos Carter, Howard Miller, Hubert Elliott, Ben Crawford, Arthur Simpson, Meadames L. D. Harris and Fannie Woodson assisted with the serving. The scribe was present and can say that the young folks were royally entertained by Miss Johnson. Mrs. Nancy Phoenix, a lady of our race, at 223 Congress street, is a new reader of the Plaindealer. This good woman conducts a rooming house, in which she has neat rooms. She belongs to that o'd school of cooks that please. She her when you are in Emporia. One of the palatial homes of Emporia is that of that excellent widow, Mrs. Ella Wilson. It is furnished in modern style, and Mrs. Wilson is a queen in the same. She is courteous and soon lets you know you are welcome. She is a member of the C. M. E. church and is a faithful worker for the letterment of the race. Mr. and Mrs. Charley H. Ashley, excellent people of the race, are employed by the Santa Fe at Emporia Mr. Ashley is in the superintendent's office, a position he has held for twenty years, and his good wife as matron at the station, a position which she has filled with credit for two and a half years. The scribe called at the Ashley home, 128 Congress street, and found it one of the best colored homes in Emporia. We called at the home of Mrs. Richard Crutcher, one of the race's strong women, who owns some desirable property—a good home, two rental houses and a valuable vacant lot. Mr. Crutcher is an ex farmer and these good people have managed well. Their granddaughter, Miss Mabel Cole, is a graduate of the State Normal at Emporia and an excellent young woman. THE SHERIFF. It is with pleasure that we mention the excellent high sheriff of Lyon county, Kansas, Mr. Walt Davis, who is serving his first term as sheriff. Though a staunch Democrat, he has lifted the office up out of politics and is conducting the same for all the people, and the white man, the black man and all we given a square deal by Sheriff Davis. He has many true friends among the colored race, who respect him for his broad spirit and fair treatment of us. The scribe visited the home of Mrs. Margaret Rogers, who owns a good home at Emporia. Miss Alice, her daughter, is one of the students at the State Normal. These good people will read the Plaindealer hereafter. One of the largest and best conducted stores in Emporia is that of the A. O. Rorabaugh Dry Goods Co. The able secretary and treasurer, Mr. J. V. Paxton, has not overlooked a single detail to give Emporia one of the leading stores of Kansas, a place where the public can secure everything kept by a modern establishment of the kind, and at prices "cheaper than the cheapest." Each department is stocked with every conceivable thing, and a dollar goes a long way at this store. Every one who visits this magnificent dry goods emporium is treated with every courtesy, and it is no trouble to show goods. In fact, the army of clerks find pleasure in making all feel welcome. Discwhere in this paper appears a display advertisement of this store and we trust our many readers at Emporia, and, in fact, every member of the race, will show Mr. Paxton that they appreciate his liberality in using the Plaindegler as an advertising emdium. Mr. I. W. Wayman, cashier at the Emporia State Bank, is a white friend of the Plaindealer. We called on him and had a pleasant that He recently gave A. D. Griffith $10 for our paper, and assured us that we could depend on him to do his part. We are proud of such white friends. Mr. R. A. Mills, a former Kansas City man, is engaged in business at 27 State street, conducting an up-to-date grocery store. He has carefully selected his stock, and the race should get behind him and see to it that he succeeds. Deacon W. L. Carter is one of the solid men of Emporia, being employed by the Emporia Lumber Co. and holding a good position. He owns a good home in the city, one in the edge of town on twelve acres of land, and has a good bank account. The Negro race needs more men like Mr. Carter. Mr. D. A. Stafford, a thrifty man of our race, has for forty years conducted a tonsorial parlor for the white trade, and now conducts an up-to-date place at 528 Commercial street. In his shop you find everything modern, and worksmen (three) of the first order. This gentleman has been at his present stand for thirty-one years, and by delivering the goods enjoys a nice trade. He owns a good home, presided over by an excellent wife. His tonsorial artists are: Mr. David Stafford, Sr., Mr David Stafford, Jr., and Mr. Murt Allen. We were indebted pleased to meet this good man and are sorry we haven't more men in his class. There are 105 colored students registered in the State Normal at Emporia. They are making good. Ray's cafe, at 314 Commercial street, is a place to eat in which the race gets a run for their money. In fact he serves the best to eat and it is cooked right. Coupled with this you get service, the kind that pleases. Regular meals, home cooking and short orders, and one of his customers put it this way: "The best TOPEKA, KANSAS. FRIDAY MORNING NOV. 19, 1915. in the country." After seventeen years the proprietor, Mr. Bert Ray, has demonstrated that if you treat the public right, the public will look after you. Drop in and see him when you visit Emporia. There is a colored laundry at Emporia, owned by colored men, Mr. Mayo being one of the moving spirits in the Enterprise. One of the tonsorial parlors for the race is conducted by Mr. Frank Copeland, an expert artist, who is a "barber for your whiskers." See him when you are in Emporia. Mr. George Maddox, a young colored man, has opened up a cleaning and pressing business at Emporia. The A. M. E. church at Emporia is a magnificent brick, valued at 410,000. It has a seating capacity of 150, and the membership is 157. That scholarly gentleman, Rev. T. J. Sandford, is the pastor. In this young man the race has a gem, a theologian of note, and one of the race's ripest scholars. Prior to entering the ministry, Rev. Sandford served as justice of the peace at Des Moines, Iowa, for four years. He has been in the ministry only sixteen months, but his record surpasses that of many men who have spent their lives in the pulpit. His being at Emporia speaks louder for him than we could even attempt to. He is competent and will bring to the race the respect of all, and he is destined to do great things for the race and the cause of the Master. Real worth will tell, and in Dr. C. E. Lett, the popular physician at Emporia, the race has a man whom it can point to with pride. He has maintained offices at Emporia for seven years, and his patients are found among all races; in fact, he has a larger white practice than he has among our own people. This polished man is a graduate from Kansas Medical College, class of '08, being one of the brightest students to finish at that well known school. Dr. Lett is a true race man. He owns a modern home, presided over by a cultured woman; in fact, it is one of the best homes in the city. His large practice necessitates the use of an automobile, and he will in a few days purchase a high priced car. He and his good wife AMERICA MO FOR DR. AMERICA MOURNS FOR DR. WASHINGTON White and Black Weep a the Greatest Man of the Generation---Dr. Wash Work Will Live For White and Black Weep at the Pier of the Greatest Man of His Day and Generation---Dr. Washington's Work Will Live Forever. --- We sincerely regret the loss of so great a man as Dr. Booker T. Washington, president of Tuskegee Industrial School, located at Tuskegee, Ala., who died at that place last Sunday after a very short illness. He was taken suddenly sick at New York and was hurried home, arrive in there on Friday. In his death the American people have lost a great man. He was the originator of industrial education in the United States and the American people, irrespective of nationality, should ever sing his praises and his name should be kept alive and be refreshed in the minds of youths who are yet to come for ages and ages, along with the names of Lincoln, Grant, Frederick Douglas, Charles Sumner, John Brown of Harper's Perry, and many others who have done much for the upbuilding of the American government. His work was finished. The people are now rushing from every part of the globe seeking industrial education through his training and lectures, writings and advice given upon the rostrum, through books and newspapers and at the great institution founded by him at Tuskegee. There was no other man in the history of the world that ever accomplished what he has along ed- MISS SMITH MAY ENTER NEWSPAPERDOM AGAIN Miss Willa L. Smith, former circulation manager of this paper, and also one of those who officiated at the birth of The Plaindealer, departed Tuesday for her home in Colorado Springs, Col., after a delightful visit with her sister, Mrs. Minnie Chiles, and also with relatives and friends in Kansas City. "IM just feeling fine," declared Miss Smith, and we assured her that she looked P the part. "Well," she continued, "I am coming back next spring, provided I fell as well as I have during the past year, and enter the newspaper game once more. I like it, and feel lost outside of the harness." Miss Smith is well known in several states, and her numerous friends will give her a rousing welcome back to newspaperdom. LETTER OF CONDOLENCE Whereas, in the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington, the principal of Tuskegee Institute, the race has lost its greatest leader in everything that apperains to race uplift, Tuskegee its most illustrious founder, the nation one of its most distinguished humanarians whose influence for industrial education is much farther reaching than the confines of our nation itself. Therefore be it resolved That we the Faculty of Western University, OURNS WASHINGTON Keep at the pier of on of His Day and r. Washington's ive Forever. national lines, especially the founding and building of an institution which cost millions of dollars, and without the aid of any financial legislation from any national or state government as one would consider which would have any effect or force in the running of such an institution as he fostered, and looking back to where it started, it is certainly a marvel of this century. A day should be set apart by this great government known as Booker T. Washington day. If the American white man wants to be fair and show respect to the memory of a man who has done so much along industrial lines as Dr. Washington has done, he could do no less than set aside a day to commemorate his memory. Let it not be said that his time was used for the education and uplift of the people of his race, but that it was used for the uplift of all races, as Mr. Washington was not a selfish man, but one with broad and comprehensive mind and did as much to aid and help the white man as the colored in America, and both have profited by his hard work. The state of Alabama would do herself honor if she would but have his statue placed in the hall of fame at the seat of the national government at Washington, D. C., alongside of other illustrious men. White Brutes Debauch Young Negro Girls State Hospital Attendants use Institution to Shelter Youthful Colored Girls for Immoral Purposes. Dr. Biddle,the Prejudiced, Haughty Superintendent, Was Months Finding Out Conditions... Board of Control Should Fire Him. At last the white man has been shown up in his true light in this scandal of the state hospital located in the city of Topeka and under the management of Dr. T. C. Biddle, who is superintendent of that institution and has been for years. Just think how brutal and outrageous it was for several white men to take young girls 13 and 14 years old up into an institution and into a private room of the guards and there keep them for immoral purposes for days; and then let them down in sacks at night. I hope after this that the prejudiced white man man will join in with the respectable element of both races in saying a human being is a human being, whether he be white or colored and that hereafter whenever a heinous crime has been committed by a colored on a white person, to not put in glaring headlines calling them Negro brutes when white men are doing the same thing and very little demonstration is made. The uncovering of these outrages committed upon these colored girls by these white brutes is nothing new. It has been charged that things of this kind have been going on in that institution for the past four or five years and that the white men who are guards at the institution have been cohabiting with the colored inmates who are segregated there. We told Gov. Hodges that this report had been made and that from our information we believed it was true and we insisted that he employ colored women in these departments, especially at the Topeka Hospital where colored women were segregated in cottages outside the main building and were left alone at night by the white nurses when they wished to attend dances; and then these guards, who were no less than brutes, who were reported, would in there and use these poor defenseless colored women in a shin ful and disreputable manner. When we reported this to Gov. Hodges, he said that it was no more than right that there should be colored employees and attendants in these institutions and he set about making the suggestion and the superintendent at Osawatomie, through the Board of Control, put them in at once. It was requested that we see Dr. Biddle upon the same subject and Dr. Biddle, while very gruff about the matter and talked as though he owned the institution and the state of Kansas, said that prob- some of whom have served several years under his wise leadership, extend our deepest condolence to the bereaved family, Tuskegee and the recent large in the loss of this great man. That a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to the family, to the press, and spread upon the minutes of our Faculty records. To Attend Washington's Funeral. Dr. H. T. Kealing, president of Western University, Kansas side, and last night a delegation of Kansas City Negroes would attend the funeral of Booker T. Washington. Arrangements to hold memorial services at Western University the hour of the funeral of Doctor Washington are being made by Doctor Kealing and Prof. J. M Mzqueas, principal of Sumner Iliq! School, the Kansas side's Negro high school. 1 (Signed) THE FACULTY OF WESTERN UNIVERSITY. ably if he could find someone salt-abe he might put them in; and when he found that he was so indifferent about the matter, we told him of what had been reported about the white guards going into the rooms of the colored inmates and using the women for immoral purposes. We told him that this was going on, and he said that he knew everything that occurred, and that nothing went on but that he knew it. Now it stands to reason that if these white brutes who have been arrested and are now in jail charged with committing offenses upon young colored girls whom they would invigle and decoy into their apartments and there use them as was stated on the witness stand, it is an evident truth that the same gang of that class would use the inmates or feeble minded as was reported to Mr. Biddle. We think it an outrage to allow this man Biddle to retain his position. Too many outrages and crimes reported to be committed in that institution under his administration. It is further reported that there have been things committed that have never been divulged to the public. We are told by one of the members of the Board of Control that attendants have taken soap and filled the mouths of inmates, and other heinous offenses have been committed upon them. We took the matter up with Mr. Brooks, chairman of the Board, and Mr. Myers, and they assured us that they wanted colored attendants in these institutions and that it was nothing more than right. They have tried hard to install colored girls at this Touka Hospital, but have never been able to convince Boss Biddle of the good results I would have in so doer. This should be an object lesson to the Board of Control and we hope they will take the matter in hand and see to it that colored attendants are put in these departments and that capable and efficient men be put in charge of the institutions all over Kansas so that the inmates may be treated as a man beings. Biddle has been there too long. Let Biddle go, and the quicker he goes the better it will be for the inmates and the whole state of Kansas. He has outlived his usefulness, is unkind, haughty, bossy and prejudiced and does not regard the feelings of the average person who comes in contact with him concerning business pertaining to that institution. MR. ROOSEVELT MOURNS LOSS "Booker T. Washington Rendered Great Service to Country." Oyster Bay, New York, Nov. 14. Col. Theodore Rossevelt made the following statement tonight on the death of Booker T. Washington: "I am deeply shocked and grieved at the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington. He was one of the distinguished citizens of the United States, a man who rendered greater service to his own race than ever had been rendered by anyone else, and who in so doing also rendered great service to the whole country. I mourn his loss and feel that one of the most useful citizens of our land has gone." Progress of the Race , in the Sunflower State. By THEO.

Shadon Stewart, the only Negro correspondent of the Associated Press, is attending the convention of the colored Baptist church at Lawrence this week. Mr. Stewart has been reporting the doings of the convention for the local papers. His "copy" is the admiration of the newspaper offices of the town and would make a good model for the aspiring young journalists at the University to follow.—Lawrence Journal-World. Slave Like. Fish, flesh and fowl were here in profusion; chickens of all breeds; ducks of all kinds, wild and tame, the common and the huge Muscovy; ginnea fowla, turkeys, geese and pennowh, and all were fat and fattening for the destined vortex. Here the grateful swan, the mongrel, the black-nocked wild goose, partridges, quail, phoenians, pigeons and choice waterfowl, with all their strange variation, were caught in this huge net. Beef, wool, mutton and reclusion of the roast select kinds and quality, rolled in grand profusion to this grand consumer. The teeming riches of the Chimpcake Bay, its rock perch, drums, crocus, trout, oysters, crabs, teemph were drawn hither to adorn the glittering table. The dairy, too, the finest then on the eastern shore of Maryland, supplied by cattle of the best English stock, imported for the express purpose, poured its rich donations of fragrant cheese, golden butter, and delicious cream to heighten the attractiveness of the gorgous, surrounding round of feasting. Now were the fruits of the earth overlooked. The fertile gardens, many acres in size, constituting a separate establishment distinct from the common farm, with its scientific gardener direct from Scotland, a Mr. McBermott, and four men under his direction, was not behind either in abundance or in the delicacy of its contributions.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS. Interview with Lincoln. It was when Gen. Grant was fight his way through the wilderness to Richmond that President Lincoln did me the honor to invite me to the executive Mansion for a conference on the situation. I need not say I went most gladly. An incident occurred during this interview which illustrates the character of this great man, though the mention of it may favor a little of vanity on my part. While in conversation with him his secretary twice announced "Governor Buckingham of Connecticut," one of the noblest and most patriotic of the loyal governors. Mr. Lincoln said: "Tell Governor Buckingham to wait, for I want a long talk with my friend Frederick Douglas." I interposed, and begged him to see the Governor at once and I could wait; but no, he persisted that he wanted to talk with me and that Governor Buckingham could wait. This was probably the first time in the history of this Republic when its chief magistrate had found an occasion or shown a disposition to exercise such an act of impartiality between persons so widely different in their positions and supposed claims upon his attention. From the manner of the Governor when he was finally admitted, I inferred that he was as well satisfied with what Mr. Lincoln had done, or had omitted to do, as I was. I have often said elsewhere what wish to repeat here, that Mr. Lincoln was not only a great President. N PAWNEB COUNTY. $60,000.00. BROTHERS' Bank, KANSAS. TORS: Charles, H. T. Taylor, A.

Mrs. Lottie Graham, president of the Social Club, entertained the Ladies' Sewing Club Friday evening at her home on Ocar avenue. The evening was spent with music, papers and songs, after which a two-course luncheon was served. The ladies left at an early hour declaring Mrs. Graham a delightful hostess. Miss Mary Johnson resigned her position at State Hospital as nurse and returned to her home in Kansas City. Miss Hattie Walker of Garnett, Kans., filled the vacancy of Miss Mary Johnson. The Ladies' Missionary Circle entertained as the A. M. E. church Saturday night.

There was reported to have been a very bad crime committed last Saturday night, October 8th, on a white woman living about a mile east of Garnett. But for some reason I do not know, they did not seem to get to work on the case till abut noon Sunday, that is when they were first noticed in Garnett. And they have a couple of coon hounds here called bloodhounds, and a trainer by the name of Tom Rice, who seems to know more about tracking than the dogs, as he knows when the dogs lost the trail and the dogs didn't. Now about the chase—they claim the trail led to town and up in town quite a way, and there lost it. But the Sheriff and his posse loaded the dogs in an automobile and brought them back to the east side of Garnett and unloaded their dogs and started them back down the railroad track, but went only far enough to be opposite a path that led into a yard where Tom Shiles, a Negro, lives.

And because Skiles said to Rice that he did not want him to bring his dogs into his yard, he got back at Skiles and called over for the sheriff, who was across the track watching the dirty work go on. I had been watching the proceedings and was coming from where Skiles and Rico were standing toward Skiles' front yard gate, meeting the sheriff, said to him, "You couldn't drag your dogs through my yard like that. He says to me in a loud angry tone that he wasn't "afraid of all the d—— niggers in Anderson county," and that he would do "anything he d—— pleased." And further said, "You must be guilty, or you wouldn't be howling." At that time I didn't even know what the trouble was. Of course there was quite a little stir created and some more words were passed, and he said, "I will arrest the whole d—— bunch." What for no one knew, unless we protested against the dirty act they had done. Now the crime happened in a white neighborhood with white people living a quarter of a mile in three directions, but so far as we can learn, not one of their yards was entered. And the first Negro home out a mile away and in town besides, the dogs were dragged into the yard and even up to the door. What do you think of Mr. Frank Sutherland, sheriff of Anderson county? It appears that he would make an excellent mob leader, but poor sheriff. Every Negro citizen in Anderson condemns crime, regardless of by whom committed. But this is the kind of law that we are up against in Anderson county. These are undeniable facts and can be proven by reliable persons. ULYSLES TOLSON, This is an outrage and disgrace for the sheriff of Anderson county to perpetrate upon the por colored people of that county. It is worse than the hellhounds of Texas would in. He must be a Texnn or some outherner and should be relegated to oblivion or some place in Alabama or Louisiana where his kind exists. The article speaks for itself and it is a disgrace upon civilization. He knew some white men committed this crime but he wanted to be smart and attract some attention as most poor white men do when they get in office, to start on colored people to make their reputation.

Warrants charging statutory crimes were issued yesterday for seven white men who have been attendants at the state hospital for the insane. The complaints were sworn to by to colored girls, Alberta Hadley, 17 years old, and Thelma Grant, 13 years old, who gave information that the offenses were committed in the rooms of the attendants at the hospital. When the officers arrived at the institution all but one of the men, D. G. Turner, had fled. Two of the men, Jack Cummings and Jack Berry, said to have been the ringleaders in the crimes, drew their pay at 1 o'clock yesterday afternoon and left. Two others, D. E. Deese and Joseph Elliott, left a short time before the officers arrived. Arthur Davenport, now living at Hastings, Neb., left Topkash about a month ago. Robert Arnold, inside watchman, alleged to have assisted the others by keeping an "enzy watch" about the building, was discharged Thursday by Dr. T. C. Biddle, superintendent of the institution. Several other men and colored girls were allfged to be implicated and other warrants probably will be issued. Reports Early in Week. Information regarding the presence of the girls in the rooms of attendants at the hospital was given to A. C. Bartel, assistant city attorney, by the mother of Albera Madley. The county attorne's office and Sheriff L. L. Kiene already had reports of improper conduct on the part of some of the men employed at the hospital Dr. Biddle last night said that he suspected some of the employees. Early in the week, R. D. Garver, assistant county attorney, said that last night a consultation had been held with officers of the hospital, but no definite information was obtained, since the Grant and Hadley girls had run away from home. They were later located in Kansas City. Thursday evening a telegram was received from Argentine, Kan., from the father of the Grant girl, saying that his daughter and Alberta Hadley were on a Santa Fe train coming to Topeka. Policemen Hill and Gregg took the girls into custody when they arrived and they were kept at the police station until Saturday, when they were turned over to the county as delinquent. Since the Hadley girl was too old to come under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court, she was released. W. E. Atchison, county attorney, not having decided whether or not to bring a charge against her. The Grant girl was held. Girls Name 16 White Men. The girls on Friday gave information of the alleged offenses, naming sixteen men who have been attendants at the hospital. No warrants were issued until late yesterday afternoon.—Sunday's Capital. BOOKER WASHINGTON DEAD. Bad to the "World's Greatest Negro" in Alabama. The Educator Had Been Ill Several Months and Was Taken Home to Die—A Story of His Ill- Tuskegee T. Washington, foremost teacher and leader of the Negro race, died early today in his home here near the Tuskegee Institute, of which he was founder and president. Hardening of the arteries following a nervous breakdown caused death four hours after Mr. Washington arrived from New York. The Negro leader had been in failing health for several months, but his condition became critical only last week, while he was in the East. Just Arrived Home in Time. He reached his home last midnight and died at 4:40 o'clock this morning. He is survived by his widow, three children and four grandchildren. His brother, John II. Washington, is superintendent of Industries in Tuskegee Institute. The funeral will be held in Tuskegee Institute Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. Washington was born in slavery near Hale's Ford, Va., in 1857. In addition to his prominence as an educator, Mr. Washington galned fame as an author. He received an honorary degree of master of arts from Harvard University in 1896 and given an honorary degree of doctor of laws by Dartmouth College in 1901. An incident of Mr. Washington's career made him a national figure in the administration of President Roosevelt. He sat down to lunch with the President in the White House either by formal or informal invitation. There was a storm of protest, particularly from the South, but in spite of the resulting hostility shown toward by many white persons, he continued to exert a widespread influence toward the betterment of his people. A STRUGGLE FROM THE CRADLE Booker T. Washington's Life Was Spent in Uphifting His Race. "It seems to me that a race or an individual should be measured by the progress made, by the depths from which he or it had risen, as Mr. Douglas used to say, rather than by the height which remained to be attained."—Booker T. Washington in an article, "Why I Am Proud of My Race." Judged by the method he himself advised, Booker T. Washington probably was the world's greatest Negro. Here is Andrew Carnegie's estimate of him in a talk in 1907 before the Philosophical Institution in Edinburgh: "Booker Washington is the combined Moses and Joshua of his people. Not only has he led them to the promised land, but he still lives to teach them by precept and example how to properly enjoy it. He is one of those extraordinary men who rise at intervals and work miracles. Born a slave, he today is the acknowledged leader of his race. "Considering what he was and what he is and what he has already accomplished, the point he started from and the commanding position attained, he certainly is one of the most wonderful men living or who ever lived. History is to tell of two Washingtons—the white and the black—one the father of his country, the other the father of his race." Certainly no figure in modern American public life met and overcame greater handicaps. In 1862 Booker T. Washington first revealed his overwhelming desire for an education when as a little yellow slave boy he carried his young mistress' school books each day and finally asked his mother at her cabin door what schools were for. As a slave and in the early years of freedom he had no education, but the determination to get an education persisted from that day when he confessed his curiosity. Freedom, when it came, did not improve his lot, as his stepfather put him to work in a West Virginia salt furnace, where he began his task at 4 in the morning and worked until after dark. Here he took his first step in education, learning the figure "18," which was stenciled on the barrels, although it was not until later that he learned other figures. Soon a school for Negroes was opened in the vicinity, his mother got him into a night school and he took time from sleep to study. One of the mortifications of his first school days was that he had nothing to wear on his head. He never had owned a hat or cap. Another was his lack of a name. He simply had been called "Booker," but when the teacher asked his name he responded, "Booker Washington." Later he learned the name his mother really had given him was "Booker Talinfero," so he added the middle initial T. He never knew who his father was or the exact date of his own birth. Soon he was oblived to leave school and go work in a cow mine. That was when he felt keenest envy for the white boys. Down in the mine he heard two miners one day talking of Hampton Institute, a great school for Negroes. He resolved to attend it, although he did not know where it was or how he could get to it. He worked as a house servant, studying and saving money; reached Richmond, eighty-five miles from Hampton, penniless; worked on the docks and slept under a raised sidewalk and finally reached Hampton, looking like a tramp and with fifty cents of his savings left. By working night and day he fought through his first year, making great progress in his studies. He completed his course by working summers as a waiter in a Connecticut hotel and then went to his old home in Franklin county, Virginia, to teach. In the late '70s he had a few moths' schooling in Washington, where only books were taught and there his growing conviction of the importance of industrial training to his race was increased.

P came a teacher at Hampton, a triumph that was heightened when the whites of Tuskegee, Ala., wrote for a man to organize and take charge of a similar school and he was recommended and chosen. That was in 1881, when, he said later, the Negroes were worse off than when under slavery. The education of the Negro, except in Hampton Institute, had been bad—to most of the students it had meant the possibility of escape from manual labor. He began work with a dilapidated shanty and an abandoned church as the school building, and literally built the great Tuskegee Institute from the ground up borrowing $250 from an old Hampton teacher and buying an old plantation for $500. From a stable and a henhouse left ```markdown ``` by the war on the ground he made recitation rooms and prepared to till the land with student labor. How bitter was the school's struggle is shown by the fact that an old Negro mammy of the section contributed six eggs at one time to its support. Shortly afterward an old blind horse was presented to the school. Today more than fifteen hundred students are enrolled there, besides one hundred and fifty childern in th training school representing thirty-five states and nineteen foreign countries. Training 1 given in thirty-eight trades or industries in addition to the academic work, and the schoolls plant is valued at almost 1 1/2 million dollars. Its graduates numprobably more than seven thousand, men and women. Four presidents of the United States knew the institution and approved it—Cleveland, McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft, and President Wilson is in full accord with his predecessors. Its founder managed to enlist the interest and sympathy of many of the country's greatest minds. Washington was a man of powerful frame, intellectual and with an astounding capacity for work. His friends declared he seemingly was unconscious of the great part he had played in molding and developing the Negro people. A biographer has recorded of him: "Emancipation only freed the bodies of the colored people. This man is freeing the shackled minds of a whole race"—Kansas City Star. The following is a clipping from a Dallas paper quoting ex-Governor Lee Crue in the recent decision on the grandfather clause by the Supreme Court of the United States. It has the right tone and shows that the ex-governor is a big-hearted, brainy man, and we agree with him that the time has come when colored men will vote for the best man, in fact, all races are coming that way fast. All the colored man has got to know is that the white man is going to be fair to him and his race irrespective of politics, and he will vote for the best man. There is no reason why the Democratic party in the South, Oklahoma should try to disfranchise colored voters as he is becoming more important and a real asset to the community in which he lives and is entitled to all the rights and privileges of other races. If the South will live way to such men as ex-Governor Crue they will improve much faster along all lines. CRUCE UNWILLING TO ,DIS- FRANCHISE NEGRO. Calls Attention to Moral Side of Question. Former Governor Gives Out Statement in Which He Denies Any Oklahoma City, Okla., Oct. 26. Ex-Governor Lee Cruez is not sure that there is any need for a law or an amendment to the Constitution that will limit the voting power of the Negro. If he says that it is apparently impossible to enact any law that will limit the franchise of the Negro where it does not indicate the same limitation as to other voters that will stand the test of the Supreme Court. "There is a moral side to the question, anyhow," said the ex-governor. "That side ought never to be overlooked. The Negro under the Federal Constitution is given a right to vote equal to the rights of other citizens. Any test that is to be applied to prospective voters of the Negro race ought in good morals to be applied to all voters of whatever race. Whether it was a mistake to give the ballot to the Negro is not the question today. It probably was a mistake. But the law is there and the thing to be done is to obey the law. Does Not Fear Negro Domination. "I am not particularly alarmed over the prospect of Negro domination nor over the prospect of Democratic defeat as a result of the decision of the Supreme Court in the grandfather clauses. I believe that there will be many Negro Democrats in the future in this State as there seems to be now. The Negro vote is not necessarily a Republican vote, and it can be divided as is the vote of the white man and the people generally." Ex-Governor Cruce said that a general literacy test might be a good thing if it were applied equally and justly to all alike, but he did not say that he would advocate it. He said that a poll tax requirement unless it were based in sound economic argument and not upon political expediency. He expressed the opinion that it would be unpopular with the masses of the people of Oklahoma, however, and said he does not think it will be attempted. "Fair election laws and honest enforcement of them are all that the people ought to desire, and I think they are all that the people do desire," said the former governor. "The questions that are being discussed by leaders of the Democratic party with respect to the ballot and the Negro ought to be considered in their broad aspect and never allowed to be blessed by imagined factors of expediency. The Democrat is party will be able to get its share of the votes of all classes and colors without attempting to evade conditions that are fixed in the Constitution and laws." No Congressional Aspirations. Mr. Cruce said that there is no foundation for the rumor in political circles that he has aspirations to go to Congress. There has been a report that the former governor would probably become a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congress in his district along with Judge Freeman and probably others who may contest for the honor with Congressman Carter. "I am not thinking about any office," said he. "My political ambitions were satisfied in full when I was chosen Governor of Oklahoma. I wanted to be the first governor of the State, but that honor was not accorded to me. The next highest honor in my mind was to be the second governor of my State, and achieved it. I do not want any other political office. Congress has never appealed to me, and I am not going to seek a seat in it."

FIRE CAPTAIN'S STATEMENT Gavin CAPT. F. M. HITE Nashville Fire Department BOWMAN CHEMICAL CO., Nashville, Tenn. Dear Sir: Having taken your medicine with great care, I am now in my place. Several years ago my physicians treated me for indication and liver trouble, and was later told by my physician that I had been in the hospital for medicines, with no results. Two weeks ago my condition was sure that I was forced to allow the physicians to consult me, as which the doctors advised me to hold the hospital for a few days. My mind was made up to have some performed, and had decided to no to an infirmary, but a friend heard of my condition and probably loss of life, when a cure could be afforded by the use of your remedy. I took a bottle which is supposed to be gentle ginseng gall stones. Thank heavens I took my advice, and am now up and able to perform my duties. Systems in my case were clouded brain, heart, liver, and lungs, and I have been and oftimes had pain in my side and back. I write this hoping it may reach some person who is suffering from stomach and liver trouble. Am sure that your medicine will help your medicine. Bower's Preparation ($1.00) Mailing Charges Prepaid.

Mr. Joseph Franklin Wilson, who departed this life November 3rd at 10 o'clock a.m. at Vancouver British Col. u. s. a son of Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Wilson and was born in the year 1827. He was born and raised in Madison, receiving his care in Madison and Lincoln schools. Mr. Wilson remained at home in the employ of his father until he was 20 years old. His first venture was to Oklahoma, where he purchased a restaurant and barber shop. After spending several years there he depended for St. Louis, Mo, where he accepted a situation as cook on a dining car running from St. Louis to Ohio. It was here that Mr. Wilson met Miss Ida Pearson, to whom he was married for several years. While in St. Louis he became an ardent and conscientious Christian, being a member of the Episcopal church of that city. His last faith was that of Christian Science. He was much given to chrity. We can truly say that he practiced his Christianity daily, being always ready to lend a helping hand and listening car to the misfortunes of others. Mr. Wilson was earnestly devoted to his mother and father, trying to make the burden of life easy for them. In each letter he would write words of consolation and would tell them of his praying and his efforts to live a Christian life. He was also devoted to the welfare of his brothers and sisters, trying always to locate them in some enterprise or position, and we looked to him as an example of truth and unlightness. During the last seven years he has been proprietor of cafes in Seattle and Vancouver, where he made many dear friends. His brother, Clements Wilson, remained with him to the last, doing everything in his power for his recovery from his sudden illness. We are assured that our great loss is heaven's gain, and thank the many friends who assisted us with consoling words in our bereavement of our dear son and brother. Peace to his ashes.

King, who is a bright little fellow of five years and has the King standing. Mrs. King was engaged in the mercantile business for quite a number of years at Tenth and Washington and was a great help to her race, fed many and kept many from the poorhouse and reform school; and it has been impossible to find anyone in that part of the city to take her place. She still owns property, and while here visiting friends, she is having her property repaired. She is en route to Oklahoma, where she will visit her father-in-law and sister. On her way from Chicago she stopped over at Cedar Rapids, Ia., to see her older brother, James S. Sims, who is employed by the gas company; he is one of Topeka's old citizens and is doing well. Mrs. King is looking fine and says she will make Chicago here future home. Her son Arthur is married and doing well; and Earl is chauffeur and has a very responsible position. Her son Henry is attending Northwestern Medical College, and Lester, the youngest boy, who has been in Oklahoma, is also with his mother. He is an industrious young man of eighteen years; and Zella, the only daughter, is attending the High School.

Where my heart was high and merry all the day, Where the world seemed one glad endless May. Tis no dream, it springs from the vital heart, this longing To know again those dear old days at home. Take me back where the heart knew peace and rest, Where everything on the dear old place was so in tune, Where roses bloomed the fairest in the mild, sweet June. Something moist-like gathers in my eyes as I sigh. To know again those dear old days at home. Take me back to that dear old home of yore, The world is, 'tis a mystery too strange for heart to know. Let me hear again the music and the song That taught my youthful heart to shun all earthly wrong. Oh, a thousand reasons why I long for that cottage on the hill. A thousand thoughts that cause the soul to thrill. And may God let fall a blessing, strength for the souls that roam. And sigh to live again those dear old days at home. ATCHISON, KAN.
