Plaindealer

Topeka Plaindealer Our Friends in Shawnee County Men and Women Who Deserve Consideration at the Polls August First. Two splendid men, both able lawyers are candidates for the office of probate and juvenile judge, in the persons of Hon. D. H. Branaman, and Ralph H. Gaw. They are conducting a clean, manly campaign and either if elected will make an official of whom all would feel proud. They are clean, upright, Christian gentlemen, and the contest promises to be very close. --- In the race for county assessor will be found Mr. S. H. Haynes and Mr. F. C. Bowen. They are good, tried, true Republicans and in every way qualified to fill the office and give eminent satisfaction. Both are very popular, have many good friends who are using every honorable means to land their man. Mr. Haynes is the present incumbent and has given Shawnee county thorough satisfaction. --- Shawnee county is offering a fine bunch of young men from which to select a sheriff. They are the best material to be found in the county and whoever is nominated will serve the people faithfully and well—showing neither fear nor favor. They are clean, upright honorable men and you can choose one of the following named good fellows: Hugh Larimer, Huby Hodgins, G. W. (Paddy) Betts, R. W. Eaton, W. T. Daweon, Jim Wilson, and H. C. Eriecean. Why not vote for Will VanOrnsdol for county superintendent of public schools? He is capable, a friend to the race and has a family to support and children to educate. Does this not appeal to you? Adv. As to fitness, capability and the rendition of service, there is not a man in the race for county clerk that has anything on Henry I. Monroe, candidate on the Republican ticket. Mr. Monroe served four years as deputy in that office under "Doc" Newman and the last year he did practically all of the work. He is a representative race man—one who is always up and doing for the advancement and uplift of his people, and is always ready to go up or down with them. Mr. Monroe has made a fine record in the Shawnee county court house—one that will prove lasting and now with the assistance of his many friends he seeks a promotion in the way of being elected to the office he so capably filled as a deputy. Mr. Monroe is very popular in lodge and church circles and has a host of good friends among men and women of all races. --- W. P. Montgomery and Robt. D. Garver are contesting for the Republican nomination of county attorney. Much interest is being manifested in this fight and friends of both gentlemen are working day and night for their candidate. Mr. Montgomery is assistant attorney general and has made a splendid record in that office. For fairness and impartiality he has endeared himself to the hearts of men and women of all races. Mr. Garver is a fine young fellow and is deputy county attorney under Mr. Atchison, a Democrat. However, this does not reflect on Mr. Garver's political complexion, as he is a simon pure Republican. Elsewhere in The plaindealer will be found the announcement of Mr. Wilbur G. Galloway, Republican candidate for county clerk of Shawnee county. The office is one that carries with it grave responsibilities and in which much care and judgment should be exercised in selecting a man for the place. In Mr. Galloway the voters and taxpayers will find a man who is amply qualified to fill the office of county clerk, and a man who will give a dollar in service for every dollar received in pay. His habits of life and high moral standing are such as to guarantee equal and exact regularity in the conduct of the county's business, and should the voters of Shawnee county honor Mr. Galloway with their confidence they will have no cause to regret. Mr. Galloway is a man of high attainments, well educated; courteous and polite to everybody. He is a friend of the colored race, and while he has not proclaimed from the housetops every time he turned a favor for the race or some individual, there are numerous colored men and women who can testify as to what he has done. He will appreciate your vote and support. --- Mr. J. K. Duncan is making the race for county commissioner in the Third District. He is a Republican and if elected would do everything in his power to give the taxpayers the best service to be had. His object if elected is to make Shawnee county a better commissioner. --- Mr. F. E. Nipps, present county commissioner, has served the people so faithfully and well that the men and women have decided to try to make his nomination as near unanimous as possible. Mr. Nipps is a fine gentleman and the colored voters are going to stand by him to a man. Don't forget. Vote for F. E. Nipps. --- Hon. John M. Wright, deputy county clerk of Shawnee county, and Republican candidate for the nomination for that office, needs no introduction to the men, women and children of Shawnee county. His polite, kind, courteous manner thorough knowledge of handling the business of the people who come to that office has won him the reputation of being one of the best men that ever served any county in a like capacity. He is an expert accountant and bookkeeper and ksows more about the business of Shawnee county than any person within her borders, and if he is honored with the confidence of the voters, the people will feel and know that the office has been placed in charge of a man who will conduct it on strict business basis. Mr. Wright is "honest, tried and true," and no one will feel more grateful for your vote and support than your time honored friend and fellowtown man, John M. Wright. Running in the Third district for county commissioner will be found the names of Mr. Henry W. McAfee, Mr. John L. Troutman and Mr. Ed Buckman, three good, tried, true, conscientious Republicans They are men who have the interest of Shawnee county at heart and if either is selected for the place, will do his best to give satisfaction. Mr. Troutman is perhaps the best known of the three among the colored people and has many personal friends among the race. The race has never had a better friend than Hon. James A. Troutman, candidate for state senator. Mr. Troutman is bold, fearless and true to every trust. One does not have to guesse about Mr. Troutman, as you can tell just where he stands on any question that may come before him. He is a lover of freedom and a defender of equal rights and privileges. Men and women, don't forget your friend, James A. Troutman, for state senator. The office of Marshal of the court of Topeka is another place that is eagerly sought by three of the "old guard?" Mr. Fred M. Stonestreet, A. W. Bradshaw and J. H. Lamberson. The Republicanism of these men cannot be questioned as each has proven his party loyalty in past TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING JULY 28, 1916 campaigns. The contest is one in which no bitter feeling is shown and the lucky man will have the loyal support of his two opponents. They are well qualified for the place and no mistake will have been made no matter which one is nominated. All are more or less deeply interested in the conduct of our public schools, hence the selection of a county superintendent is one in which much interest is manifested. Mr. D. H. Wallace and Miss M'Edna Corbet, Republicans, are contesting for this place. They are qualified educators, popular with the people and its gong to be a "toos up" to tell who is who. The campaign is clean and friendly and each is making a thorough canvass. --- In the race for coroner Dr. O. F. Marcotte and Mr. H. W. Bongardner, Republicans, are pitted against each other. Personally, they are as gentlemanly men as we have ever met, and either will prove loyal and true to every trust imposed upon him. Both have lots of friends and are very popular. Judge of the court of Topeka is a place that is sought by several able lawyers on the Republican ticket, and the campaign is very spirited in the fight for the place: Mr. Henry W. Euler, Phillip C. Wilson, Edwin O'Niel, Douglas D. Mote and Rad M. Lee are the contestants for this office. All are members in good standing at the Shawnee county bar and have a good practice at their profession. A more able bunch of legal lights have never offered themselves for an office in Shawnee county than these gentlemen. They are men who have borne the brunt of the battle for Republican success in the years past and are asking for a small slice of pie, and will leave it for the voters to decide on August 1st as to who should have the honor. For representative Thirty-fourth district, we have two splendid Republicans running for the nomination in the persons of Mr. W. A. S. Bird and Mr. C. B. Hypes. They are men who have made a success of their own private affairs and would handle the business of Shawnee county as they have their own. They are campaigning strong, leaving no stone unturned in their canvass and it will take the official count to determine the winner of this contest. Messrs Bird and Hypes are very popular with the colored people and each has many good, warm personal friends among the race. --- Mr. H. I. Monroe, the popular churchman and leader in secret societies, is a candidate before the voters of Shawnee county for the Republican nomination for county clerk, has had the necessary experience and training which ably fit him to perform the duties attached to that office. Mr. Monroe has served as deputy in the office of the county clerk and is now one of the most efficient clerks in the office of THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN the county assessor. His past record in the court house is an able recommendation as to his qualifications. There are none better. During the campaign for the past several weeks Mr. Monroe has made a clean fight on his record and has made many friends thereby who are rallying to his support. IN OTHER COUNTIES Sedgwick county can boast of one Republican who has no opposition and that is G. W. C. Jones, who Is now probate judge, a staunch Republican and fine gentleman. Mr. A. A. Graham, one of Topeka's most eminent barristers, is a candidate for Supreme Court Justice. None can gainay his fitness for this, the highest judicial position in the gift of the people of Kansas. Mr. Graham knows the law and can interpret the same, and under his adjudication the common people will be given a square deal without fear or favor. He has a keen judgment, is painstaking, and is an upright Christian gentleman. Mr. O. W. Good, who is engaged in the coal and feed business at 620 North Main street, Wichita, Kan., is a candidate for county treasurer. He has lived in Sedgwick county for the past twenty years. He was reared on a farm, and taught school for a number of years. He is an honest, upright man, efficient, and competent to fill the office he seeks, and has a host of friends who say they will nominate him. His partner, J. W. Hillger, has been associated with him for a number of years and says he never met a finer man in all his life. He says the people can make no mistake in voting for him for county treasurer—that Mr. Good is a man with on prejudices and believes in treating all alike, irrespective of color or condition, and that he can call the names of several colored people who have transacted business with him which was always of a satisfactory nature. --- Dr. Graybell of Newton, Kan., one of the strongest Republicans and president of the A. O. U. W., is being considered as a candidate for governor to succeed Governor Capper after his second term. He has a host of friends over the state and has been a great promoter and worker in the Kansas Day club. His friends are legion and he says his nomination is assured. Miss Lizzie Wocster, who is a candidate for superintendent of public instruction, is a woman with unlimited experience and has made her way up the ladder by hard knocks, has taught some, written text books, and in fact has the respect of the laborer people, as she has been a laborer all her life. Mr. E. L. Payne of Emporia, Kan., one of the leading educators of the West and a candidate for state superintendent of public instruction subject to the Republican primaries, has a record of which he is proud. He was for twelve years head of the mathematical department of the State Normal at Emporia, nine years superintendent of public schools, and has taught every grade in the public schools from first to twelfth. He has been a Republican all his life, and while progressive in his thoughts he has always stood by the party. Mr. Clyde Miller of the Fourth district, candidate for congressman, will be nominated by a large majority, as he has practically no opposition. His many friends are doing much to make his nomination unanimous. Practically all the voters in the district, and especially the colored people, are unanimous for him, as he has always been a friend to the colored people, as was also his father, the late Senator Miller. Mr. Miller is a trustee of the Topeka Industrial and Educational Institute, in which position he takes delight and interest. Mr. Wylie W. Cook, candidate for state treasurer, is now assistant treasurer of the state. He is being supported by the majority of the Republicans. His friends say he will be nominated. The colored people over the state are supporting him for the reason that he has been a loyal friend to them all his life and they know he will be fair to them. * * * FRANK PRINTY FOR SHERIFF OF FRANKLIN COUNTY. Mr. Frank Printy was born in Indiana and moved to Kansas twenty years ago. He has always voted the Republican ticket, and as a square and straightforward man Mr. Printy has no superiors. He comes to us as a candidate with a character unstained, and in the Price $1.50 Per Year. game of politics he is giving a square deal, which will characterize his administration should he be successful at the primary August 1. He is in every way making a clean fight for the nomination. Mr. Printy has a father who fought in the civil war, and two of his uncles were killed in the war for union and freedom. With the glowing record he has established in Kansas, his promise of protection to all citizens, has practical good judgment respecting right and wrong, the clean life he has led in the face of all men who know him, put Mr. Printy in the front ranks as a most worthy candidate, hence the colored people should support such a man at the polla August 1. FOR PROBATE JUDGE OF FRANKLIN COUNTY Mr. D. J. McManis is asking the support of the colored voters of Franklin county, at the primaries Aug. 1st for the nomination for propate judge. Mr. McManis was born in the state of Ohio, taught school there five years, came to Kansas in 1888, and taught school in Franklin county twelve years. He was considered a successful instructor, and is well loved throughout the county. Mr. McManis has been a busy man all of his life. The last nine years he has been bookkeeper, and salesman for the Putnams Lumber company of Richmond. He has served for four years as councilman of the city of Richmond; so with his rare intellectual attainments, and his practical business experience he is in everyway qualified or the office of probate judge. Mr. McManis is a Christian gentleman, and a staunch Republican. He is very sensitive to the needs and conditions of the colored people, and will deal out justice to all alike, so let us cast our ballots for our friend Mr. McManis. E. L. INCE FOR COUNTY CLERK DOUGLAS COUNTY One of the most important offices to be filled in Douglas county is the office of county clerk. He figures the taxes and valuation for the taxroll. The one who is most complent and efficient for this office among the three who are running for the place is Mr. E. L. Ince, who has educated himself for such clerical duties, having had several years experience in handling that kind of work. He is a poor, hardworking young man, who has had to weed his own row all of his life. He has a wife and one child. He is not an able bodied man having lost almost the entire use of one leg. His devoted wife is very popular among the women voters and has made a thorough canvass among her sex for her husband and finds the female vote almost unanimous for Mr. Ince for county clerk. He is a strong advocate of the Republican party and has always worked in and out of season for its success, and it is no more than fair for the Republican voters to reward him. It is the duty of the colored voters to cast their ballots unanimous for Mr. Ince for in him they will find a staunch Abraham Lincoln heart. Let all of the voters consider this young Republican stalwart. He needs you and you need him, so everybody vote for E. L. Ince for county clerk of Douglas county. DR. A. L. WILLIAMS LOCATES IN TOPEKA. One of the Country's Most Successful Dentists Has Cast His Dr. C. L.

He comes to us highly recommended, and holds certificates to practice his profession in three different states of the Union. His office is equipped with every appliance known to modern dentistry and his skill is the peer of anyone engaged in the practice of dentistry. Dr. Williams is one of those frank and open fellows—a man whom one will like right off the bat and a fine mixer. He is progressive and enterprising and will contribute much to assist the race along all lines. The Plaindealer is glad to welcome such substantial young men to the city. His office is in the same building in which our esteemed young friend, Dr. J. Lewis Ransom is located. Dan Anthony to the Rescue Dan Anthony to the Rescue Kansas Congressman Would Re-enlist all Brownsville Soldiers. Hon. D. R. Anthony, congressman from the First district of Kansas, has introduced a bill which is commendable and we are proud to know that Kansas has an Anthony to represent us in the halls of congress. The Anthonys have always been friends of the colored people and have espoused their cause in and out of office. It is no more than right that Companies B, C and D of the Twenty-fifth infantry, who were dishonorably discharged owing to the prejudice of the southern Texans at Brownville, should be reinstated. It was reported that every time the soldiers went up town they were scuffed at and abused by the citizens and they were forced to protect and defend themselves, which action caused a riot between them and the citizens. We think it is no more than right that both houses of congress should see to it that these men be restored to their rights and given back pay. All praise to Mr. Anthony, and we not only hope that he will be continued in the House of Representatives, but that he be promoted to the Senate. Kansas needs such men as he. Following is the bill: For the Relief of Former Enlisted Men of Companies B, C and D, Twenty-fifth United States Infantry. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled: That the secretary of war be, and he is hereby authorized and directed to re-enlist in the United States army such members of B, C and D, of the Twenty-fifth regiment United States infantry as were discharged the service because of alleged participation in the disturbance at Brownsville, Texas, on August thirteenth, nineteen hundred and six, and who, upon application for such re-enlistment, are found to be physically qualified for military service, any other disqualification for re-enlistment being hereby expressly waived.

District Grand Lodge No.17, Holds Its 33rd Annual Session in the "Peerless Princess." The thirty-third annual grand session of the G. U. O. O. F., of the Seventeenth district of Kansas was held July 8, 19 and 20, 1916. The session convened in joint session with the Household of Ruth in the Court house of Wichita, Tuesday at 10:00 a. m., with a large delegation present. The meeting was called to order by Bro. J. L. Harper, P. D. G. M., and was opened with sony and prayer after which introductory remarks marks were made by the chairman. He then introduced Mayor O. H. Bentley to make the welcome address in behalf of the city of Wichita, who spoke in a manner which indeed pleased every grand officer and delegate of the order that was present. His address was responded to by Bro. Dorsey Green, P. D. G. M., of Kansas City, who on behalf of the District Grand Lodge received the welcome by expression in words, of the heartfelt appreciations for our brothers, sisters and friends of the G. U. O. O. F., of Wichita. Next a welcome address in behalf of the order was made by Bro. Thos. Glover, who also welcomed the District Grand Lodge to Wichita in words that will forever linger in the memory of the delegates of the G. U. O. O. F. Response was made by Bro. G. M. Harrison, D. G. M., who spoke very highly of the courtesy that was being shown the District Grand Lodge in Wichita; the city where pence, happiness and prosperity seem to reign over the entire membership and friends of the order. Welcome address in behalf of the Household of Ruths was made by Sister G. Childs, who also welcomed the delegation to Wichita in words that made every delegate feel as though they were at home. Response was made by Sister Taylor of Ft. Scott, who in a very pleasing manner accepted the welcome to Wichita, the land of the free and the home of the brave and furthermore she assured the members and friends of that city that we would be glad to return to Wichita any time they wished to send us an invitation so to do. Then she sang a solo, after which the lodge delegates withdrew their presence from the Court house to the Monroe hall, where they entered into further details of the District Grand Lodge session. The meeting was called to order by Bro. G. M. Harrison, D. G. M., who appointed a guardian, warden and chaplain for the session. Next was the election of an assistant secretary, to which Brother Bassott received the honors. After which the appointment of the different committees were made by the District Grand Master, who were then given a few minutes to prepare their reports. During this time a greeting Committee from the District Household of Ruth session approached the door for admittance. They were received by the Greeting Committee of the Grand Lodge and introduced, after which they proceeded to greet the order in language that was indeed very sweet and mellow; so much so that every brother seemingly had his mouth open as well as his eyes. After many expressions in words for a peaceful, happy and prosperous session for our District Grand Lodge, they made us a donation of $70.70 for the purpose of helping us to defray the expenses of the Patiarchies of Kansas City and Topeka on their visit to the District Grand Lodge. This amount of money as well as the cheerful words was gladly received, and Bro. Dorsey Green, P. D. G. M., was called upon to respond to the Sisters' greeting. He seemingly enjoyed doing so with the best words he had at his command, after which the Sisters bid us adieu and were escorted to the door and asked to call again. Shortly afterwards the session adjourned for dinner to reassemble at 2:00 p. m. The afternoon session was devoted in each committee making their report as far as they were able, in receiving credentials and District Grand Lodge taxes from the delegates, after which the session adjourned. Tuesday night a grand reception was given in honor of the delegates. The program rendered was of such that it made the occasion a swell affair. Wednesday: The meeting convened in regular session at 9:00 a.m. The meeting was called to order by the District Grand Master, After being opened in due form, reports from the different committees were made, received and adopted as partial reports. Bro. G. M. Harrison, D. G. M., then made his annual address in his usual masterly manner and every delegate was made glad to know that he was a member of the G. U. O. O. F. The members of which that do unto others as they would have others do unto them. The session adjourned to reassemble in Memorial services at 11:00 a. m., at the Baptist church.

M., called the meeting to order and expressed his and the delegates' high appreciation of assembling in such a beautiful, cool and highly decorated church, after which he introduced Rev. B. R. Ross, of N. Topeka, to preach the Memorial sermon, who spoke in his usual eloquent manner, and all present received the many truths that were so well delivered and each one was made glad of the opportunity to meet at the house of the Lord, at that time upon such an occasion. After the sermon Sister Taylor, of Fort Scott sang, "Bright City." Next condolence were read by the delegates of the Grand Lodge and Household of Ruth, who endeavored to assure us, that since we truly miss our brothers and sisters, however, the Lord knows best, therefore, we should not grieve longer because He has taken some of our best talent to the place that He has prepared for the faithful, but that we should rather rejoice to know that our loss is heaven's gain. THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN CHAS. L. CHILDLS, District Grand Secretary. After which Prof. Carter of the Topeka Industrial Institutts, adressed the assembly and he too placed our minds upon higher things in the different avenues of life. Next a solo, "I Want to Be There I Do," was sung by Sister Taylor, of Fort Scott. After the shaking of glad hands, the meeting was dismissed to reassemble at the hall at 2:00 p. m. The afternoon session convened in the hall on the appointed time, with the D. G. M. presiding, at which meeting each committee made a greater portion of their report in a cheerful and very satisfactory manner. Wednesday night another grand reception was given in honor of the delegates at the Court house. The solos, duets, reading, orations, etc., were rendered by the best talent that could be secured, and undoubtedly could not have been surpassed. The male quartett and orchestra of Wichita, seemed to have been in the best condition that they could ever expect to be. The program was so well rendered that every person was sorry when it was completed. At the close of every meeting and reception each delegate expressed themselves as looking forward for the 83d session to be the best session held in the Seventeenth Jurisdiction of Kansas, both in a social and financial way for many years. Thursday morning the session convened on the appointed time, and after being opened in regular form, Bro. Nick Chiles, editor of The Topeka Plaindealer was called upon for a few remarks, as is usual he captured the session with his masterful thoughts and then he expressed his appreciation of having the pleasure of meeting the 83d annual session of District Grand Lodge of the G. U. O. O. F., and at the same time he also informed the delegation that he would deem it quite a favor if they would give him the contract for printing their minutes. After which many resolutions were read and received and adopted, which are thought will be for the betterment of the G. U. O. O. F. in the Seventeenth Jurisdiction of Kansas. Then a joint session was held in the Court house for the purpose of selecting the place of the next grand session, at which time Fort Scott was chosen. The Grand Lodge then excused itself and reassembled in their hall for the election of officers for the ensuing year, before which the Patiarchies of Kansas City and Topeka made their appearance, and after being admitted, we were favored with a short address from Bro. B. J. Washington, major of Kansas City Patiarch, Bro. W. H. Jackson, major of Topeka Patriarchs which was responded to by Bro. Dorsey Green, P. D. G. M., of Kansas City and Bro. J. L. Harper, P. D. G. M., of Wichita, then the Patriarchies bid us adieu. After which the election of officers was in order, for officers (see Minutes) after which the meeting adjourned to meet each other at the Forum to view an exhibition drill given by the Knights of Pythias of Wichita, and the Patriarchs of Topeka and Kansas City. The affair received a large crowd and was quite a success financially. Next, "Home, Home, Sweet Home." THOS WIMS, Reporter, N. Topeka, Kan. Reporter of the Session.

MISSOUUM. --- Little by little we, as a race, are being accorded some of the rights of manhood long denied us. After being sent to Africa for many months for no other reason than to separate him from the white officers in his regiment, Major Charles Young of the Tenth Cavalry has been brought back home and put in command of his battalion, and from his splendid conduct in the Mexican trouble he has now been promoted to be a lieutenant colonel. This speaks wondrous achievement for this black man, who has come up through hard trials and great tribulations, overcoming many obstacles deliberately placed in his pathway to success. What Col. Young has accomplished can be accomplished by others if permitted a chance to enter West Point. We venture the assertion that under command of a man of Col. Young's make-up the Carrizal affair would not have happened. Give us more young men at West Point and Uncle Sam's army will be much improved. As Seen by the Editor! Mrs. W. F. Lavelle of Cincinnati, O., is visiting her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Anderson of Newton, who are among the leading families of Newton and the state of Kansas. Mr. Anderson is depot master at Newton, and Mrs. Lavelle is one of the leading ladies of Cincinnati. She will spend several weeks with her parents. Mr. Wm. Webb, who has been employed at the Santa Fe shops at Newton, Kan., for the past ten years and is still holding a position there, is visiting friends and relatives in Bloomington, Ill., and St. Louis, Mo., where his mother and sister reside. Mr. Webb is an old soldier and stands high in the community in which he resides. He and his wife are among the leading people of Newton and own good property. Mr. and Mrs. C. R. Ramey are enjoying the company of their nephew, Mr. John Lacey, and wife, of Florida. Mrs. Charles Miller, matron at at the depot at Newton, Kan., is a fine widow, owns good property, and is said to be one of the finest matrons in the Santa Fe service. She knows the work and gives entire satisfaction. The company is well pleased with her work, but we cannot say how long she will retain the position, as the matron is very attractive and we expect some gentleman to offer his hand very soon. Mrs. R. H. Todd, one of the finest catereses in the country, is now operating the Court House cafe, 513 North Main street, and also a rooming house at 119 West Pine street, Wichita, Kan. Her meals and lunches are first class, everything being up to date and palatable. Her reputation for serving meals and conducting business cannot be surpassed. When in Wichita give her a call. She was on the Pacific coast for a number of years and conducted a fine business in that part of the country. Mr. Koon C. Beck, ex-sheriff of Reno county, is conducting one of the best parks and zoological gardens west of the Mississippi. He has instituted a cabaret in which colored girls are employed as waitresses. They cater to first class people and are crowded from the time of opening in the spring to closing in the fall. Everything is modern and up to date for old and young. The park is cool and nice, being located on the Arkansas river. Mr. Beck is one of the leading citizens and should be commended for establishing such a place for the entertainment of the public. We visited the Hutchinson reformatory last week and must say that Mr. J. N Herr, the superintendent, is a pleasant gentleman to meet and takes great pride in showing one through the institution. He has placed the institution on a high standard and everybody over the state who has any business with him is so well pleased with him' that they would raise a war if an attempt was made to oust him from office. He was appointed by ex-Governor Hodges and because of his efficiency and splendid work was retained by Governor Capper. He is fair and impartial, and it is the first time in the history of the institution that colored boys have been permitted to learn trades and work at anything they wish. The institution is almost self-supporting, so far as foodstuffs are concerned, and they also raise numerous head of cattle and hogs each year. ARTHUR CLARK DROWNED. Swim at Wakarusa Fatal to Topeka Fireman. From the Daily Capital. Within six feet of the bank, Arthur Clark, colored, a member of Topeka fire department, station No. 3, was drowned Sunday afternoon in six feet of water in Wakarusa creek, near McFadden's park at Wakarusa. Clark sank before the eyes of his wife and four other persons. He is supposed to have been overtaken by a cramp while swimming. Twenty-five feet from where Clark disappeared two men were rowing in a boat. Their attention was attracted by an unusual splashing in the water behind them. Clark went under before they could reach him. The Topeka pulmotor squad, which responded to the call for help, worked over the body thirty minutes, when Dr. O. F. Marcotte, coroner, told them they might as well stop as the man was dead. Nearly 150 persons were eating their lunches in the grove nearby at the time. Clark, his wife and children, and a small party of friends arrived at McFadden park Saturday night with the intention of spending a ten days' outing there—the extent of Clark's vacation. Clark was 27 years old. He had been a member of company 3 for more than six years. He lived at 915 Jefferson street. Other members of the camping party were Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Bright and their three children, M. and Mrs. John Kelly and their two children, all of Topeka. BARNUM & BAILEY CIRCUS IS COMING.

Funeral was held Wednesday from the residence, 115 East Twentieth street. Mrs. W. W. Taylor, of Guthrie, Oklahoma, attended the M. E. conference at Newton, and before returning she spent a few days in Topoka, the guest of her brother and wife, Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Campbell. She was accompanied by her son and brother, Masters Logan A. Taylor and Shelby Campbell, Jr. They had a delightful visit. Rev. B. R. Ross, veteran minister and pastor of the A. M. E. church for years, has now taken charge of St. Mark's A. M. E. church, on the North side. He has just returned from a trip to Colorado Springs, and also to his farm in Graham county, which consists of 345 acres, of which 120 acres is in wheat. He brought a sample of the wheat, which he dubs as a "bouquet." It is well filled and will run about 60 pounds to the bushel and about 30 to 35 bushels to the acre. The Reverend is covered with smiles, for while he is inspiring souls for heaven he is inspiring men to make it to the farm and grow a little something to sustain life. We wish we had more ministers and other men of the race like Rev. Ross. He was elected grand treasurer of the Odd Fellows lodge at the last grand session, at Wichita.

In the former city he met his brother-in-law, Mr. Otto Bennett, who happened to be in town and together they had a royal time. It remained however, for Mr. Eagleson to visit Boley to note just what the race is actually doing in that state. At Boley he was the guest of Mr. Lewis Dolphin who conducts a large general store about fifteen miles from Boley and the trip to the Dolphin home and the trip was made on horseback, the first time the young Kansan had ever mounted a horse. One can imagine the rest. Mr. Eagleson was deeply impressed with Boley. He says that it is a modern city of something over 4,000 population, that every line of business is represented and the buildings are all modern and the stores stocked with the best the market affords. While in Boley Mr. Eagleson was a guest at a dinner given in his honor by Miss Cozine. It was one of the most fashionable affairs he ever attended. From the enthusiasm displayed by Mr. Eagleson over Boley and her people—especially the gentler sex, we think ere many moons that he will bring one of the fairest belles of that city to Topeka. Religious Body Hires Jitneys That Draw the Color Line When in Regular Service --- "Jim Crow a Negro free of charge and he will yell like a Sioux buck, and on the other hand, if he is compelled to pay for it, he will grin all over his face." He enjoys it and likes to contribute his dollars to keep the banner of Old Jim Crow from trailing in the dust. One evening this week, a religious body, composed of the younger set, plined for somewhere to go and enjoy themselves and at the same time clear a little change to defray the expenses of the organization, and some enterprising genius hit the nail on the head by inaugurating a plan whereby all could have a good, big stomach full of "Crow," so straightway they went to the man who operates the large jitneys on the side streets of Topeka and engaged three of his cars for a drive to the Reform school North of the city, where ice cream, cake, etc., would be served. However, providence is always on the side of right and in their eagerness to devour their nice mess of "Crow," they drove to the spot and forgot to bring the cream and cakes. It was late and the "Crow" dispenser had given them the allotted time, hence they all had to return to the city and eat their cream and cake at the church. Where the shoe pinches, if a member of that party was rushing to the bedside of a dying relative and haul said jitnev when in regular service, he would simply drive on or tell them they could not haul people of color. Then why give them your money? The street cars will stop anywhere for you, they employ colored men to perform mechanical and unskilled labor, and it is but just and fair to the street car company and ourselves to throw every penny we can in their path. What shocks us most is that it was the Shiloh B. Y. P. U., that pulled the stunt, and we are indeed surprised as Rev. Fleiback is such an intense race man. Surely something is wrong, as it hurly hurly seems possible that an organization of educated, bright and intelligent young men and women would thus bow and worship at the shrine of Jim Crow. However, they did. A. L. Abbott, Painter, Paperhanger and Decorator. ALL WORK GUARANTEED. 933 College Av., TOPEKA, KAS. Mrs. James Moore left last night for Denver to spend the summer. Mr. G. H.

Thompson, Bethel, Kansas.) Upon the eve of another primary election it will not be amiss for the average citizen to study the conditions that have obtained in American politics for several decades past conditions which are growing worse each year. The Negro voter, who has ever been loyal to his country, occupies a very peculiar place in American politics, in that he enjoys the rights of suffrage in a majority of the states, but has no voice in the administration of governmental affairs. Every nationality of people coming to America, many before they take out their naturalization papers, are voting and having their say in the affairs of government, while the Negro must be content to vote, pay his taxes and have no representation in any sense whatever. But the Negro must ace and act differently. At the coming primary election Negro voters should support only those candidates whose intentions shall be to give the Negroes a square deal in case of their nomination and election to office. There are so many ways in which the usefulness of the citizen may be recognized and rewarded, regardless of color of the skin, and if the Negro voters, many of whom are useful, loyal citizens, are not to be considered, why should they worry about this or that candidate's nomination? It is true that the foreigner is making more progress in the commercial world than some Negro citizens, but only because they receive the encouragement and support of the American people, while for the most part the Negro receives criticism and abuse. The foreigner coming to America and settling in one of the great cities is at first intoxicated, with the new personal freedom he enjoys. Then as he looks around at the wealth and prosperity of those who have been successful in life or have inherited from ancestors the fruits of many generations of labor, he becomes discontented with his lot and wants immediately to "divide" with the rich, not feeling like waiting until he can also become forehanded and prosperous in a generation or two, by means of education and intelligent industry. He almost invariably becomes tinctured with socialism and is against the government because it does not enrich him. It is to this element that corrupt political machines appeal by promises of patronage in a political way and distribution of alms in one shape or another under the guise of the "poor man's friend." It generally takes several generations to straighten out the kinks in th immigrant's brain and put him on a level with the average American citizen, who relies on his own head and hands for advancement rather than on the government. Doubtless the most galling oppression that the average peasant of foreign birth experiences in a well governed city is the closing of saloons, beer gardens and theaters on Sunday. That is a new chapter of civilization to him. In his native country Sunday was the day for social drinking and amusements. He has perhaps never been a drunkard. He must have been tolerably sober, industrious and economical to have accumulated enough money to pay his passage across the ocean and have a sufficient showing to satisfy the immigration commissioner that he was not likely to become a public burden. The American Sunday is irksome to him because of the habits of himself and his fathers for generations, and he joins the ranks of the party that offers him a continental Sunday if it gets into power. For his open Sunday he will exchange almost anything, for he is not yet a taxpayer, or at most is a taxpayer on a very small scale. That is the stronghold of the political monarchy throughout the country; it is the penalty that Americans have to pay for their open door to the immigration of the European peasant or workingman, and it is a heavy one. There is one thing certain, that the American people will see their mistake when it is too late. The foreign born population that is filling up the waste corners of America is going to cause the American people to shed briny tears, and the time is not far distant. The Negro, who has borne the brunt of abuse of every nationality, always true to his trust, is ever ready to give his services in defense of the country. In the meantime the Negro must support men who are going to work for the uplift of his people. A large majority of men aspiring to office seem to think that all the Negro voter needs is a little beer or whiskey before the primary, which lasts THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN It removes dandruff, stops the itching of scalp; it gives wonderful results.

F. & A. M. at a cost of $50. ? REV. CHARLES A. WILLIAMS, Pastor of New Saint Paul African Methodist Episcopal Church. Rev. Williams, the pastor, is serving his fifth and last year and he is to be congratulated for his work at Wichita, which will be an everlasting monument to him.

While there he remodled several churches and did a grat work for the denomination. He was married to Miss Gertle Hawkins of Topeka and from one of the leading families of this city.

The choir is one of the best in the country. It is composed of twenty voices and ten instruments. Much credit is due Mr. George White, director of the choir who has held this place for more than twenty years and he is loved by the entire congregation and the success of the choir is due to his untiring work. The choir is vested and forms its procession in the basement and it is very inspiring as they march to their station. The annual conference will convene in this new church on September 27th. This will be the first time within the last fifteen years that they have convened at Wichita. This church was organized in 1875 and the only survivor is Mr. Thomas Glover, who is yet active and takes great interest in the affairs of the church. Rev.

ALEX MARKS, 652 Broadway, : New York Below is a clipping from the Kansas City Star which reports a white woman giving birth to two children, one an exact representative of the Ethiopian race and the other of the Caucasian race. We would like for that class of white people in the South who are so prejudiced and have so much race hatred, explain this matter to us. It seems that the Lord has willed it that before the end of time all men will be educated up to the proposition that He created all of one blood and this race hatred is only skin deep. We have not heard the story from the woman yet as to how she accounts for this mystery. Probably nature has suspended action and she has been conceived by some unknown spirit and was intended to show to the world, and especially to the white race, that God still lives in heaven and that He can bring things to pass as mysterious in the present age as in the past, when He first formed man and made of him several different nationalities. This is a problem for our Southern white race to solve—that class of them who have no much hatred for the black race in the daytime and so much love for the women at night. There is no such thing as race amalgamation, as the races are too selfish, and there is no evidence to show that where they intermarry they absorb one another. The Ethiopian race will stand distinct as long as the world lasts, and so will the Caucasian, and no laws or rules of segregation are needed, because when man begins to enact laws of this kind it shows how ungodly, foolish and unmanly he is. If that class of white people who are prejudiced against colored people would stop this race prejudice and serve God and live up to the Golden Rule and treat our children like they would have us treat theirs, respect our wives as they wish us to respect theirs, and make no laws that will crush one and raise another, but live so that all will be peaceful and harmonious and look upon no person as inferior because he is a colored man, a Jew or Gentile, or God will compel women to bear children of both races to break up this prejudice. We would like to know from the prejudiced class of white people as to what would be the outcome of the Jim Crow laws which now exist in the South in a case of this kind. If this white mother should go South and enter a Jim Crow state, the boy, whom we will call Sammy, and the girl Mary Jane, would of necessity create quite a sensation. What would become of Sammy if the mother was going from Colorado to South Carolina, should she enter a white car and sit there with her colored baby? Under the Jim Crow law the conductor would have Sammy put in the filthy Jim Crow car and Mary Jane would be retained with the mother. Now the question is, who would take care of Sammy in the Jim Crow car, for the mother would not be allowed there? We think this would work a hardship on the white race. The Lord is working these things to break up laws now on the statute books of the Southern states. We would be sorry for the white mother if she should start South, for her colored child would be subjected to all kinds of indignities, while she and the white child would be cared for. Lass ie
