BRADSHAW FEELS CONFIDENT best means of getting rid of the Negroes, and as a result of one of the meetings the warning was fastened date for marshall of the court of to the doors of several of the Ne even if the thing does look good to gro homes. It reads as follows: Topeka is not resting on his arms him. He is putting in some good NEGROES BEWARE! This is a White Neighborhood. Don't Move into These Houses. The notices were draped in black crepe and fastened to the front doors of the houses. Needless to say they have caused much uneasiness to the Negroes and the appeal for protection this morning is the outcome of that uneasiness. REGISTER OF DEEDS OF FRANKLIN COUNTY Mr. Franklin P. Baker, a son of Geo. W. Baker, is a candidate for the office of register of deeds of Franklin county. He was born in that county, graduated from the Ottawa high school in 1906, and became a bookkeeper in the Franklin County Hardware Co. Mr. Baker held that position with much credit to the company and to himself. By his fair and courteous dealing he made a host of friends among both races. At present Mr. Baker is a successful farmer of Pottawatomie township. He is a member of the school board of his district, and secretary of the organization of school boards of that county. Colored people will make no mistake in putting Mr. Baker's name on the memoranda as one of the worthy Republicans to vote for at the primary August 1. He is a staunch Republican, and comes from a family that has demonstrated its interest in the advancement and welfare of the Negro during the dark days of slavery, in the civil war, and ever after. Mr. Baker is a patron of the colored newspaper. Mr. Bill Wayman, candidate for Senator for Lyon county, practically has no opposition, as he is a man that the people idolize and worship. He is one of Emporia's leading citizens, and also of Lyon county and the state. The people will make no mistake in sending him to the Senate. The citizens of Atchison county will be called upon to vote for probate judge and the only active candidate is the present incumbent, Judge Adams, who has served the public faithfully and the people say it is no time to change, as there is lots of work for Judge Adams to do, such as estates to settle and children in the juvenile court under his care. The judge is an honest, upright Christian gentleman, and when his books were audited by the county there was not one cent difference. I is through his hard work and industrious undertaking that he has saved the county thousands of dollars. The Hon. Rad M. Lee has announced himself as a candidate for Judge of the Court of Topeka, subject to the Republican primaries in August. He is a young man who has worked himself up by attending strictly to business, saving his money, using economy and treating the people right. He has had active experience as assistant county attorney and was also assistant for four years in the Court of Topeka, which gives him unlimited experience to operate the court. He is an upright Christian gentleman and has a host of friends who are giving him strong support. He says that one thing he is proud of is that the majority of the Bar Association have endorsed him for the position, which shows they have faith in his ability. The colored people of Atchison should get together and support Mr. Davis for marshal of the city --- BRADSHAW FEELS CONFIDENT Mr. A. Ward Bradshaw, candidate for marshall of the court of even if the thing does look good, to Topeka is not resting on his arms him. He is putting in some good licks. When asked about the colored vote he said: "I am willing to take my chances, and I only wish all would stand as loyally as my colored friends." --- Mr. Wiley Cook, assistant state treasurer, has announced himself as a candidate for treasurer of the great state of Kansas. Mr. Cook prides himself upon being a man who is fair and impartial and has no prejudice or faction, no friends or foes to reward or hate. He wants the colored people to distinctly undersand that he has been their friend and has stood for their rights as well as for the rights of the white man whenever a matter was checked up to him, and while holding office, and especially when chief of police at Kansas City, Kan. He believes in fair play and in treating all citizens alike, irrespective of color or condition. While chief of police at Kansas City he always stood for what was right and did not show any special favors to colored or white, but upheld the law and the wrongfully injured party. Below is an article clipped from the Kansas City (Kan.) Gazette-Globe of November 4, 1909; which tells or a warning sent out to a reputable colored citizen and property owner at the time when Mr. Cook was chief of police, and it shows he gave the matter attention and did not hide behind any excuse, as the officers did at Kansas City, Mo.: NEGROES ASK FOR HELP. Appal to Mayor Guyer and Chief Cook for Protection for Their Homes ARD AFRAID OF THE WHITESI Warning in Crepe tucked to Doors of Troup Avenue Homes Has Frightened the Negroes—"No Lawlessness," Chief Cook Says. Owning his home at 325 Troup avenue yet afraid to occupy it, is the pediment of J. C. Ray, a Negro, on whose house the white residents of that neighborhood tacked a warning bordered with crepe, several days ago, in which Ray was given notice that he had better not move into the house. In a personal letter to Mayor Guyer Ray asks that he be given the protection a citizen of the city is entitled to. Chief of Police Cook also received a letter from Ray asking for protection. In his letter to Mayor Guyer, Roy says that he purchased his home at 325 Troup avenue without being aware that Negroes were not wanted in the neighborhood. He says that if he can get back what money he paid for the house he will gludly move, but until that time he asks that he be given protection. Mayor Guyer turned the matter over to Chief Cook with instructions to proceed as he sees fit. "I certainly will not permit any lawlessness in that neighborhood if I can prevent it." Chief Cook said. "It does not matter to me if the man is a Negro, so long as he is a lawbiding citizen. As a citizen of the city he is entitled to protection, and I shall see that he gets it." Chief Cook said that he would station several patrolmen in the neighborhood where trouble is likely to start, to quell any disturbance. The trouble between the whites and the Negroes grows out of the sale of several, houses to Negroes. The white residents of the neighborhood assert that theirs is a white neighborhood and they object most attenuously to Negro neighbors. Several mass meetings have been held to discuss what would be the --- --- ```markdown ``` court, as he is the first to announce himself as a candidate for that place. We are proud that this colored man had the ambition and courage to announce himself for this office. It is a shame and disgrace that there is not a Negro in Kansas City, Kan., who had the courage to offer himself for any position, notwithstanding there are several thousand Negroes in Kansas City without an officeholder accept one clerkship, and he is holding this by merit of his own. The friends of Judge Endrees have announced his candidacy for another term as member of the legislature. He made a rattling good member the last time and will make a better one this time. --- The Hlön. Nelson Case, attorney at law, one of the leading lawyers of Kansas, has announced himself as a candidate for judge of the district court of Labette county and his many friends are supporting him. They say he is the man for the place and that there is no doubt of his election. He is not only a strong Republican, but is supported by all classes, parties and factions. He is a man that the people say they want on the bench, as he is one who they believe will be fair and impartial and will work for the interests of everybody in common. Judge Case is a lawyer of great ability and if he is placed on the bench the people will have nothing to regret. --- Hon. Roy T. Ozborne of Independence, Kan., who has announced himself as a candidate for probate judge, has a strong backing and no man can beat him for the place, as he is so highly respected and loved by the people of that county that it would be useless for any man to run against him. He has settled several million dollars in estates and has much more on hand, and he also takes an interest in the juvenile court and the parents are very proud that they have a man in the office who will give the children the proper care and attention and can keep them from going to the penitentiary and places of ill repute. He has gained a good reputation by treating everybody fairly. He has no prejudice, and everybody looks alike to him when they appear in his court. --- The citizens of the Second Commissioner district of the city of Leavenworth will be called upon in August to vote for the nomination of a candidate who can fill that office with credit and honor and give them a business administration. That man is Ben Heis. He was born in Leavenworth and now lives within one hundred feet of his birthplace. He is a graduate of the city schools, is at present associated with his father in the marble and statuary business, and they manufacture some of the largest tombstones in the state, at 319 Cherokee. Mr. Heis is a great friend of the colored people and has worked side by side with them and believes in giving each man a square deal. He says that Leavenworth county needs an economical administration and if elected as county commissioner he will give that county the strictest business administration that is in his power. He has had a great deal of experience, has done much for the elevation of Leavenworth and will do more. There is no doubt of his nomination and election, and we advise the colored people to stand by him. CITY OF ATCHISON. Mr. John M. Davis for Marshal of the City Court. The voters of Atchison are called upon to nominate a man for marshal for the city court of Atchison. For the first time in the city of Atchison and this court Mr. John M. Davis, an upright, Christian, industrious gentleman, has announced himself as a candidate for this position. He was the first to announce himself for this position. Now, it is due to the colored people to talk to their white Republican friends to give them consideration on the Republican ticket by voting for Mr. Davis for this position. The colored people of Atchison have been loyal to the Republican party and have voted for white men for office from time to time and the colored people have yet for the first time to receive an elective office or appointment in keeping with the votes they have given the party. Do not be deceived by another colored man who recently offered himself as a candidate for the same position. It looks as though he is playing the Judas of the race and running in the interest of the white candidate, for what reason we do not know, unless it will be the appointment as deputy, or a few dollars and cents. It looks very suspicious at this time, for the race are trying to get together and center their forces on one good man whom they could probably elect. Mr. Davis merits this position from the fact that he has been a loyal Republican as well as being interested in the welfare of his race. The Republicans owe it to the colored people to vote for this man for the office, and if they do their duty this man will be elected for the office, as the colored people are going to vote for him. Would Make an Efficient State Treasurer. The Lindsborg News pays the following high compliment to our townsman, Mr. Matt Weightman, Jr., candidate for state treasurer: "Matt Weightman, Jr., is the Republican candidate for state treasurer of Kansas this year who we desire to especially recommend to the voters. "Mr. Weightman aspires to be the Republican nominee for state treasurer and he is one of the best equipped men for this office that ever aspired to it. Not every man who seeks state positions is capable of filling them. Not every person can successfully handle large sums of money and keep the books of as big an institution as the state of Kansas straight. This involves not only great responsibility, but requires much more than ordinary experience and ability. The duties of a state treasurer also demand considerable executive force, and not every man has this. "Matt Weightman, Jr., has had special training for the treasurership. For several years past he has handled millions of dollars of public money as treasurer of Shawnee county and as treasurer of the Aetna Building and Loan Association of Topeka, and Samuel S. Spahr, U. S. government expert accountant at Top.ks, while investigating county records in this state, and Mr. Weightman's books were the best he had found in Kansas. We doubt if a better equipped man than Weightman has been before the people for state treasurer. "Personally Mr. Weightman is an agreeable, courteous gentleman and although this is his first race for a state office, he is making many friends wherever he goes. He is a native born Kansas Republican and has always worn his party allegiance straight. He is popular in his home city, as is shown by the fact that in his race for treasurer of Shawnee county he received the largest vote polled by any candidate—and this notwithstanding it was at a time when the Republican party was divided and factional feeling was running high. "We believe Mr. Weightman would be the strongest man the Republicans could nominate for state treasurer and we are sure he would make a most useful and satisfactory public servant. We hape to see him chosen." PHILLIP C. WILSON IN RACE FOR JUDGE COURT OF TOPEKA A Well Qualified Young Attorney Seeks Place on the Bench. In the race for judge of the court of Topeka will be found the nameof Hon. Phillip C. Wilson, a bright young legal light who possesses all of the necessary qualifications to ably fill the position he seeks. Mr. Wilson, is one of the best known attorneys in the city and has proven his ability as a lawyer before the courts of this county and state. He is a man of strong character, upright, honorable and fair and every inch a gentleman. Mr. Wilson has numerous friends Price $1.50 Per Year. It is a sure thing, if Mr. Wilson is nominated and elected judge of the court of Topka; white, black, rich and poor will all receive the same treatment before his court. Wilson is a fine fellow, and the readers of The Plaindesaler will find him worthy of consideration. I was secretary of the Republican organization at the time Miss Corbet made the race for that office on the Republican ticket in this county. In that election she made one of the cleanest as well as the most successful campaigns ever made in this county, being elected by a very large majority when the balance of the ticket went Democratic. After election she made good every promise, devoted her entire time to the schools and to community betterment, and started more constructive work in our schools than was ever attempted before or since. She could be re-elected here without opposition from either party. I feel sure that she will be nominated and elected, and I know that she will make good to such a degree that you can be justly proud that your support helped elect her. among the colored people who want to see him preside over the court of Topeka, and to prove their sincerity, they are actively supporting his candidacy. Mr. Wilson has had extensive dealings with the colored people in a legal and business way and they have always found him on the square and ready to aid in any movement intended to promote their well being and happiness. To Whom It May Concern: I am writing in regard to the candidacy of Miss M'Edna Corbet for superintendent of schools in your county. C. W. SWEITZER, Rancher and President Klowa Co., Colorado, School Board Assn. WALTER L. PAYNE MAKING ..A THOROUGH 'CANVASS! Osage County Man Leavingno Stone Unturned in His Fight for State Treasurer—A Good Man. Mr. Walter L. Payne, of Burlingame, Osage county, is making the fight of his life to land the office of state treasurer. Backed by his county and the Fourth Congressional district, he is causing the people to stand up and take notice. Mr. Payne is a fine young man, a good ```markdown ``` WALTER L. PAYNE simon pure Republican and well qualified to fill the office he seeks. Mr. Payne is one of the best liked men in the Fourth district as may be seen by the way the newspapers and individuals are lining up to him, and he feels greatly encouraged over his prospects. The Abilene Reflector says of Mr. Payne: "Mr. Payne is one of the most capable men of the state and his experience in the treasurer's office makes him especially fitted for the place. He will fill the office with credit." --- The voters of Sedgwick county will be called upon August 1st to select a judge of the First division of the district court to succeed Judge Wilson. Hon. Richard H Bird has announced himself as a candidate for this position. He is a lawyer whose legal ability cannot be questioned and as a citizen there is no better. He has lived in Wichita for the past thirty years and has practiced his profession for fifteen years. He is a man of forty, just in the prime of life to weigh all matters submitted to him and give them careful consideration. Mr. Bird is an Ohioan by birth and his father was a lawyer and stood high in the ranks of the profession. Mr. Bird THE MUSIC OF THE WEST stands well with the colored people of Sedgwick county and being an upright Christian gentleman, he believes in giving all people a square deal irrespective of creed, color or previous conditions. The time is now at hand that the American people will not vote for the silk stocking man and put him into office. The aristocracy on the judicial bench is being blind to everything but what people want a commoner, a plain, every-day man, who can sympathize with the weak as well as the strong and the poor as well as the rich, being blind to everything but what is equitable and just. If Mr. Bird is nominated, the citizens of Sedgwick county will have nothing to regret. We believe he will receive the majority of the colored votes. NEGRO SOLDIERS ON WAY TO RIO GRANDE Crack Black Regiment of the Illinois Millia Passes Through K. C. Below is a clipping from the Kansas City Journal about the Eighth Illinois enroute to the border. This shows the difference between the Northern and Western and the Southern sentiment toward the colored people. The Southern people will have to learn to be decent sooner or later: "Illinois famous black regiment, the Eighth infantry, I. N. G., passed through Kansas City yesterday afternoon on the way to Ft. Sam Houston. The regiment is 1,600 strong and is all black. Even the officers are Negroes." "The regiment, in command of Colonel Frank A. Denison, was brought into Kansas City over the Wabash, which ran the train in three sections. Here the cars were taken over by the Santa Fe and the long ride to San Antonio was begun a few minutes after the train sections reached the Santa Fe yards in the West Bottoms. "The few people who saw the Illinois Negro soldiers were amazed at the splendid deportment of these black militiamen. They are well built and intelligent in appearance and a more light-hearted crowd has not been seen among the borderbound guardsmen who have passed through Kansas City. "Where are you going?" someone yelled at the Negroes in coach 3, in the second section. "To the Rio Grande," shouted back a half dozen of the dusky guardmen. "We're going to swim that Rio Grande."

They are serving again with the colors, and each man must regard himself as a Croesus, if he has not already dis- sipated the bounty bestowed upon him by a Just government, Enlisted men are generally improvident, and the most impecunious of all are the soldiers of the Negro regiments,who are born gamblers. Imagine, then, the beatitude of the fourteen lucky soldiers‘of the regiment under a cloud when they found themselves back in the ranks with arrears of pay ranging in amount from $21,- 289.76 to $2,419.65, the last sum falling Into the lap of Private Rob- ert Williams, a troop cook. The truth about the Brownsville raid will never be known, althohgh there were two investigations, one by a military court and the other by Congress, the latter dragging for more than a year. It was after the first investigation that the battalion was sammarily discharged, although most of the men who suffered could have had no hand jn “shooting up” Brownsville, Some of them knew nothing about it, and others sinned by silence. The number of soldiers actually guilty of the atrocity must have been small. Congress came at last to the re- lief of the helpless innocent by adopting a resolution directing the President to appoint a board of army officers to ‘make what was practically a third Investigation, They were authorized to receive and pass upon applications by the dis. charged soldiers for re-enlistment with back pay and allowances. Some of the highest officera in the army were -on the board and they went over the old evidence and listened to the pleas of the applicants, sev- eral ef whom had been witnesses in the military and congressional in. quirles, These officers were con- vinced that fourteen of the old soldiers had nothing to do with the notorios raid, either as principals or as accessories, And eo their dishonorable dis- charge was struck from the record, and they resumed their rank and placea in the army as if the inter- vening years of stigma had been wiped out. But each now had a bank account, if he were thrifty, Three corporals, ten privates and a cook rejoined the old Twenty. fifth, Some of the innocent are dead; others, no doubt, are still re- corded as discharged without honor, being too ignorant to avail them- selves of the chancs of vindication. ‘We trast that none of the guilty Ss fn the honor and back psy Jist, It is @ gratification to know that by this act of reinstatement justice’ has been done jn some worthy cases, and that in effect the precip- itate act that caused the innocent to snffer fgnominiously with the guilty stands condemned as irrational and unjest—New York Sun, June 26, 1916.

OBITUARY. John Thomas Matheny was born in Mercy county, Kentucky, No- vember 6, 1869, and departed this life at his home in Fort Worth, Texas, July 5, 1916. He professed a hope in Christ at the B Strect Baptist church under Rev, I. Toli- ver, In the year 2898, and joined that church and a faithful member until he was called away. He was 46 years, 7 monthe and 29 days old, For several years he traveled far and near, wherever his work called him, but, thank God, he always went under the watch care of some church. In 1904 he found his way to Fort Worth, Texas, There he united’ with Mt, Gilead Baptist church, of which he was a faithful member unto death, He was @ member of the Pride of Texas lodge No, 82, The last Setter his niece, Mra, Moore, received from him, he ‘said to her that he was very, very weak, but that he was still trusting In the Lord to gain his strength, In April, 1907, he married Mra, Mamie Elliott, but to this union no children were born. But that dear, loving, devoted wife saw to it that nothing that money could buy or loving kindness could do for him wan left undone. May God bless such a woman, His favorite songs were, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus” and “Yield Not to Tempta- tion.” He leaves to mourn their loss a devoted wife, a stepson, three sisters and two brothers, and a host of other relatives and friends. We bow in humble submission to His will, knowing that our loss is heav. en's gain. THE FAMILY, | MRS, HENRIETTA.

BRITISH MISRULE IN AUSTRALIA Numbers of travelers arriving recently from Australia report that the natives of Australia are worse treated than beasts. No schools are provided for the blacks. They are not allowed to go to the white schools, nor even are they allowed to come into the towns in many places. They are not employed where white labor is used and are employed as house servants in the following manner: One wishing a servant goes to the government headquarters and deposits about $10. The police then goes out and brings in a black boy, who is turned over to the purchaser for service as long as he wishes to retain him. The worst thing reported is the systematic effort of the government to poison out the blacks. They are kept on reservations and issued a certain amount of rations at intervals. They are fond of flour. Into the flour is mixed poison. The rapid decrease in the population of the natives of Australia is said to be due to this hellish method, said to be sanctioned and actually carried on by the officials themselves. Quoting an English gentleman, a resident of Australia: "You, see for a long time the government put the blacks under police. Whenever trouble occurred the police in charge would have to herd in his natives and a shootnig would take place, but the police soon found that putting a little poison into flour was more effective and caused less trouble." A number of Russians returning to Russia from Australia verify the above statements as true. ABILENE, KAN.

The attendance, while not as large as it should have been, was much larger than it was when Dr. Moore began this work. Dr. Moore, on account of impaired health, could not be present to give personal direction to the work. While this was deeply regretted, there was profound appreciation for the able and satisfactory services of Dr. Jewell of this city, whom Dr. Moore selected to conduct the institute. The lecturers were picked men from among the ablest ministers of Southern Methodism; these were: Drs. Wobber, Lewis and Irlon of Memphis, Dr. Jewell, and others. Dr. Frank H. Rogers of our own church was also invited by Dr. Moore to deliver two lectures, which were able and inspiring. The interest in the lectures and discussions grew from the very beginning and abated not until the last word was said. The closing address, on "Christian Education," by Dr. Jewell, was simply fine. He built his address out of his broad learning, rich experience and deep interest in the educational uplift of all the people. Fitting resolutions were read and adopted at the closing session.
