The agricultural d partm it is now how planting cover crops of wheat and rye, and it is in its plan to put 220 acres under cultivation. The sertler was carried to the farm implem ent if it a small hard hardware store. Every considerable thing in farm machinery was to be found there. Too, to our surplus, there were 15 acres planted in plants ready for harvest. There are a large number of boys taking agricultural. Our next still carried us to the n ectural building and engine room, where the sertler was also the heat for the various buildings. The threatened strike delayed the installation of machinery for the wood working and machine shop, but this will be completed within the next few days. There was an imposing scene when we reached the laundry building to note a bunch of our girls carrying on that day now being done by the girl. The sertler noted one new furnace, and also that the old one had also been repaired. We made it over to the dining hall and we found a class in domestic science preparing dinner for the student body. We were informed that the domestic science department has been connected up to the boarding department, and now the girls prepare all the meals for all the students. We also found that the meal for the boarding department was being furnished by the agricultural department. The storehouse was filled to its capacity with provisions, etc. Four hundred can be accommodated in this spacious dining hall. The poultry yard was next waited in, which we found a large number of chickens, and Prof. Marques said that he is ```markdown ``` BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION! The Baptist State Convention met in annual session in Kansas City last week at Metropolitan Temple of which Iter, J. D. Holmes is pastor. This is one of the most beautiful Baptist churches in the West, and the denomination should be proud of it. Iter, J. D. Holmes was re-elected president and II. L. Monroe, assistant reorder. The session was very profitable. Her, Van Lon, state missionary made a fine report which showed the great work that is being done in his department. He is one of the most sound ministers the Haptipla base in the state. He is a race man and his report showed that the Haptipla are holding their own and that he is adding and assisting the ministers of small charges with the missionary money given him. He George McNeal, the Mark Hanna of the concession is the life of the whole concern. He is a fine minister and has a large following. None of the delegates of the convention took the editor of The Plaindealer to task concerning the publishing house at Nashville. We contended that notwithstanding Bord and Morris were at out and there are two factions; it was no reason to put out of business because of a misunderstanding between some of the leaders of the National Convention. The Topeka Plaindealer is not responsible for this split and those who express themselves as to our standing or comment on the matter should learn our policy. We stand for race enterprise and we stand for the organization that attempts to break up such an institution will hear from The Plaindealer. As we understand it, the Murray fashion is buying their literature from the white Southern Baptist publishing house, giving for their cause that Hard did the same house but what we command Mr. Kool for is as soon as he could get from under the white man's hands, he did. The white publishing house does not give employment to any colored loves and girls and though we do not know who is right or wrong in the publishing house at Nashville, Teun, is established and is paying out thousands of dollars to colored employees and therefore it is up to the colored people who want to buy periodicals from the Nashville house of which Mr. Boond attains to be owner and secretary of our short publishing house until the court decides who is the rightful owner and afterwards both hands and make the firm stronger. The colored people of Kansas whether Baptist or Methodist or of no deomotion nation are with the Plaindealer in such porting care enter into the court. But that the Baptist State Convention of Kansas will not assume all the responsibilities of the Baptists all over the United States. There are numbers of lending Baptist ministers and thoseands of members of Baptist churches who believe that we are right in our editorials. Prof. J. M. Marquess, Former Kansas Educator, is Making Wonderful Progress in the Field of Education--- Making Langston Great. out of death conditions his Langton University尝, and judging by the way the drawn point this excellent state institution is destined under the able supervision of that scholarly man, Prof. J. M. Marques, to take front rank among the law students, the brain, much executive ability and an abundance of experience, there is nothing to be looked for from Prof. Marques' administration but success, and your archeist was not surprised at the wonderful improvement in affairs noted on every hand. The opening of the process of school life the importance of experience from several states in the Union and students are writing daily and matriculating. Able men and women have been selected to touch, and everything is moving along with clock-like precision, and there is nothing to mar the powerfulness of school life the importance of experience on school life the presidency, the tremendous job on his hands, but we contended at the beginning that the board, in securing his services, had made no blunder, and if Langton could come back the right man was at the helm to bring it back and our recent that substantive announcement of Mr. Marques' appointment was heralded abroad. Your archeist found a humorous bunch, all working for the advancement of the students under their control, and the earnestness they are putting into the work is compelled to bring it back. The teacher at Langton, but all are toiling for our purpose—success. Mr. Marques could not have exercised better judgment in selecting his faculty, and we hope for the school the crowning year in its history. We visited all the departments and found the teacher and each student doing his entire duty to make the name of Langton glorious, and we are hopeful in our belief that in the near future the world will be able to look on Langton an one of the world's greatest institutions. Already the tongues and expressions the teacher and each student believe that such a revolution has taken place since our last visit a few months ago. Industriability will not be overlooked at the school and the student who goes there expecting to "bond on his job" will find it a very undesirable place for that species of humanity. Everybody must be on the jump, and this is as it should be, because the must be押 by the school to the standard of the high class institution of learning. Too much must not be expected of Prof. Marquess because, while he is one of America's ablest editors, he can not make the school go single-handed, but must receive the cooperation of the colored citizens of Oklahoma and our people out of the land in making the school a success. Our visit convinces us that there it not one thing to keep the most fastidious from attending Langston, and when the able faculty is taken into consideration as well as the many educational advantages offered, not a single Negro young man nor Negro young woman can pose big finds in a male excuse for not attaining the degree provided they are in a march of education. The affable president extended your scribe every course, and we were not very long in usernaming that Laughton is now in real school, and that Laughton was not encouraging the cause had been removed. Also in lingering with the students, we greeted the information that they were from several states and were an intelligent looking set of young men and young women, perfectly contented and well-educated. There was another thing that we noted respect for superlity, and everyone seemed to realize that Prof. Marques is the president and all were willing to execute his plans. When this spirit prevails there is an expectation that he will be in the institution of Dr. It is not in a "top-heavy" school, where you find one strong educator and two weeklings, and each instructor has been selected for his fitness along his respective line. The school and campus were in excellent shape and had nothing to make the worth of the university. Considerable interest has been mounted along industrial lines and industrial education in its true sense will be pushed from now on, and training the heal, the hand and the hand will Prof. Murray's course. We are indeed proud of your ball. The first building we dropped into was the administration building where we found 214 educators and more than 200 students. The building is given sturdy and safe work and the student departed at that. Murray was running the drive in for our reasons first, that in a workroom as a boarding pupil he had found that whatever miserable punts planned was arranged for during their time in the house he was anxious to keep them busy. Second he wanted a promote a strong industrial interest at the same time as it that sufficient work. In short, he believes in industrial training, but at the same time he believes that the pupil should have the largest opportunity along literary lines. Though there is an abundance of industrial work, would see to it if that he one and only say along literary lines. He believes that the pupil should be able to do as well to know. The high-houred president appointed us over the campus and farm and we were lifted off our foot to and 30 head of jar wettable cattle, to the mules, 85 throughout Durre Jarrow, Yorkshire and Poland China house, and also a new house which had just been bought at Stillwater. This group of owners he showed me proved that this board's pollinator was high above the tree was a full brother to the grand champion bear at the Oklahoma State Kid in 1911 his dam was a full brother to the grand champion sow at the simula fair in 1915. The president's plan is to connect with the cultural work of the school with the life of the state so the school will be the new farmer man in the limb of thoseughted men and the information the We next visited the district which has accommodation for 100 cows and 100 sheep with 110 tons of lime which we will on the place in the farm we will nearly 400 lakes of lime to balen of No 1 limefields and the 100 bushels of corn which we upon the university farm in suit of an excreasing farm is in a field which produced about 75 bushels of kaffir oil also in the farm there are 72 bushels of blackcrops which were grown on the farm.

We were made to be the 'boy' dormitory, where we have a continuous improvement on every hand. Tiles of sanitary mattresses in fact, two curtains—were being un- loaded. There were boxes upon boxes of tubes, alarms, briefs and feathers pillows, as good as you find in any home. A building has been replastered, rewired, warmed and otherwise renovated. New tubs of the quality have also been pur- sued. A military system has been installed and commandant has been placed in charge. In the girl's new dormitory it is ap- pletely clean and crowded to its capacity. The girl's old dormitory has been reno- nated and this now is comfortably lit. The president's residence has been re- named. The trades taught at Langdon are counsellor, blacksmithing, agriculture, machine shop practice, electrical engineering, cabinet work, wood turning, laundry work, cafe and food work, sewing and coiling. A very large musical department is to be found here also, and everything in the musical line is being taught. The school is a well-established and the demand from the community has been so large that they are now using the teachers. A model training school has been established for the pupils in the first four grades. The fifth to the eighth grades are under ericle teachers. The preparatory, normal and college classes are very large. Mr. Marques said that every member of the state board of education has given him his support. The board of officers are very much interested in the success of the institution and are contributing in every way to its growth. Two miles of pipe have been laid for the new water works system now in course of construction. This will supply an adequate service for the university. On the faculty are graduates of institutions like Yale, Dartmouth, the University of Wisconsin, the University of Carnegie Institute of Technology, Flik, Howard, Hampton, Tuckeges and others—and what more would you want? MARQUESS and other Baptist should not be alarmed, as the Flainlander is your friend and is not trying to do anything to injure any one individually or collectively but we must learn to be big men and differ without threats or intimidation. Smith Has Made Good If the voters of Kansas wish to recognize proven ability and high efficiency in a state officer, they will not overlook the name of W. R. Smith, the president election day Mr. Smith has been in the office more than a year now and in that time he has shown himself to be just the man for the place, his technical knowledge and business ability having enabled him to have thousands of dollars for the people of the state to self-publish of national reputation, recently said of Mr. Smith, Kansas [Picture of a man in a suit with a tie]. W R SMITH, STATE PRINTER has never had a better state printer than W R Smith. He is on the job all the time, and he contributes to the Naboo publishing department in a thoroughly efficient and business-like manner." One of the ways in which Mr. Smith has saved money for the state has been in buying stock. His study of the paper material led him to believe last fall that a sharp advance was in prospect and he prepared for it by placing early orders. The stock was verified by conditions, the prices at the time the stock was needed being in many instances more than double what he paid. How this careful buying has 1 benefited the average citizen may be noted in the prices of school books, which remain in the same as last year in spite of the monumental advance in raw materials. This saving affects the pocketbook of every person who has school books directly as well as affecting every tax payer of the state indirectly. Smith's administration state publication of the book being made a success in every way and it is saving thousands of dollars in parents of school children. This last year the state plant turned out doubtless text books and the output of the text book department of the plant this fiscal year promises to be more than a million books. State publication of school books is a name in the public people because it supplies their children with the best texts at prices per cent lower than, under the old system. Mr. Smith, who has been investigating the proposition favors a further step by the state and one that will be of greater benefit to us free text books. He is contained from his study that such a measure would be of invaluable value to the school the state and its citizens and that it will point to its advantages to legislators and others prominent in state affairs. In his administration Mr. Smith has shown himself to be a true friend to the colored race in many ways. Two of the oldest and most trusted employees of the plant are Dr. Dilimone who occupies the important post of shipping clerk, has been with the plant for 32 years. His capability and faithfulness make him a highly valued employee. George Dillis, one of the oldest and most known colored men in the plant, has been the plant plant for many years, where his strict attention to duty makes his services highly appreciated. Mr. Ellis is the father of Miss Dillis, one of the efficient teachers in the city schools. Some months ago, Mrs. Minkle Lankford, a prominent woman of our race, was added to the list of employees of the printing plant. It is customary to approve the work of an efficient officer by giving him a second term, and a glance over the record Mr. Smith has made shows that it is one that should meet the needs of the office and that he is working every day to make the printing plant a paying investment for the state and its citizens. The Flaindealer is a paper devoted to the interests of the colored people and its circulation is largely among them. In its editorial and in its news column it tries to run only such material as is of interest to its people, and in its recommendations and in its ideas it views with the one great idea for which it stands—the idea of trying in every way to strengthen and help the colored race. Politically the Flaindealer favors some men and rejects others, and this is done because some men are as friendly to the colored man as to the white. The men who believe in equal justice and equal consideration, men who play no favorites because of race or color? Out in the Second district the Republicans have nominated a man for Congress that the Flaindealer can truthfully say is fair, honest, and when elected will all people and people and will all question the race or color of any man enter into the questions he must decide. Below is a clip from the Hutchinson News and it is a pleasure for us to reprint it. Vote for Simmons Dighton, Oct. 4 — Governor Capper in his speech at Dighton urged the election of John Simmons of Hutchinson to Congress and charged Congressman Jouett Shouse with work to end hoods in the Senate and in Congress. The governor also spoke for the election of Hughes and the Republican state and district tickets. In part he said: "Now one word as to the congressional situation in this district Mr. Hughes will be elected President on the 7th of November. A united Republican party makes that a foregone conclusion. The united Republican party is the coming of sleeper Kansas will help in his election. He will be chosen because he stands for progressive, constructive national legislation; a protective turff economy in national expenditures, and efficiency in government. He cannot attain the Republican cannot be elected to the House who elect him. If he is handicapped by a Democratic Congress, No Republican voting for Mr. Hughes should nullify that vote by casting a ballot for a Democrat for Congress who will embrace opportunities to umbrella legislation in the election should be made complete by the election of a Congress that will support him. "I in this district there is a particular reason why the Republican nominee for Congress should be chosen. Mr. Hughes has taken a firm stand in opposition to work harbor methods in appropriations. The work harbor methods are used in work harbor methods. After his election to Congress two years ago he tried by swaps and trades to embark the Republican administration in this state by an attempt to impose on the state appropriations of almost a million and a half dollars above what were needed, as some Representative and continued in the same course, with the result that the last Congress appropriated a half billion dollars more money than only prescribing Congress ever old. If you believe in trades and swaps in appropriations in work harbor methods in public expenditure, the Republican administration should be embarrassed you should vote for the re-election of Mr. Slouse, otherwise your ballot should be cast for the able and capable nominee, Mr. Simmons." Sheriff I. F. Karrer, of Nedgedick county, is the nominee on the Republican ticket for reelection and his friends are moving heaven and earth to give him a large majority. Mr. Karrer says that he believes in treating everybody right, irrespective of color or condition. His jailor, Mr. Giles is a prominent colored man of Wichita, and serves on the present position. He helps the present position. He helps he never worked for a finer officer than Sheriff Karrer, that the jail has been left under his entire control and that he has the placing and handling of the prisoners under his supervision and he says to it that none are mistreated. He is under many obligations to the sheriff for placing such liberal confidence in him in giving him a chance to be a lawman and the colored race should give this careful consideration. There is not another sheriff in the state of Kansas that has given colored men such recognition. Miss Estelle Northun, Republican nominee for register of deeds at the coming November election will be the first woman to hold an election office in Douglas county for a number of years. She is a leader among her sex and is making a wonderful campaign a key part of her nomination and the five tickets she nomination added strength to the party. She says that the loyalty of the women was a source of great strength to the Republi- Price $1.50 Per Year. a Warm Welcome SHBACK GOES TO OHIO J. B. REV. C. G. FISHBACK GOES TO OHIO The Rev. C. G. Fishback, former pastor of Bishloh Baptist church of this city, who tended his reservation to accept the church as everland, Ohio, preached by a very large permanent audience of very large audience composed of not only members of that church but representatives of the various churches of Topeka. He read for the scripture lesson Acta 20:28:38. Philus礼教 to the church at Topeka, 3:21:28 and preached a good sermon in which he admonished the church in their selection of a leader to remember that all distinctions are from God. Resolutions were passed by the various branches of the church committing to maintaining the past thirteen years and insisting their loss; and by the citizens of Topeka, a copy of which is printed below Rev. Fishback is not only an upright Christian minister and gentleman, but a race leader and it was through him among others that several aggregation laws were killed in the past two legislatures which would have been a detriment to all races in this state and would have had a blazing influence on other states. Mr. Fishback was the source of the National Farmers' Association, presided at the meeting and held devotionals prior to the opening of the regular service. A generous collection was taken up, after which about 1500 people passed in line and lined the Riverwalk farwell. Mrs. Fishback, who was unable to stand in line was represented by her sister, Miss Katie L. Woodson. The family left today for Cleveland. Among other things Rev. Fishback said that not only was Shillah composed of many different people in the country but he paid a glorious tribute to the Toona and members of other churches and thanked all for the generous support given him while a resident here. Put con parties—even before their right of suffrage was recognized. Now the woman will appreciate a big vote for the only woman on the fletch. . . Mr. James M. Mekk, who has served Wandreite County three terms as county attorney has been nominated by the Democratic party for district judge of Division No. 3. His platform is the enforcement of law and equal rights and exact justice for the young man who has worked his way to the front and then when that if the people carry out what they say there will be no doubt as to his election as they say the faithful should be rewarded for duties performed. Judge G. K. Landley, nominee for proate judge on the Republican ticket has nearly any opposition. He is a strong man and an able lawyer and his friends have no doubt as to his election Mr W C Brown of Lawrence, is not a politician, but a through business man. He owns and operates one of the best pennantsmen in Kansas. Mr Brown has purchased an automobile delivery which adds to his already unite to business. He has a big business from the fact that he studies it night and day. We would that the race had many man like Mr Brown. Mr. J I Woodward has been nominated on the Republican ticket for sherif of Douglas county and the Republicans say his majority will be from 1600 to 1600. He served that county at one time and the people have implied that he will be fairness and will do his duty. He has a host of friends among all classes and races who respect him as an ideal bright gentleman, business man and officer. HUTCHINSON RENO COUNTY Honor Horton N. Ramsey, candidate for county attorney, is in young man and has county attorney and that firm has been a credit to himself and the people of Reno county. If it was right to elect Mr. Ramsey two sons ago it is certainly right to elect him again. Mr. Ramsey is not a constant officer seeker, he is only asking now to be given the customer's name and that name is always approachable. He always has time to talk with you upon any business matter and you are at liberty to call his office of anytime. There is one thing we admire about Mr. Ramsey, he tries to prosecute one man as hard as he shoot another. No favoritism is expected in one man. No favoritism is expected in a county attorney has been such that he welcomes at any and all times investigation of same Reno county voters would not better their condition in the county attorney's office by failing to re-elect Mr. Ramsey, Miss Margaret A Kesler, candidate for clerk of the district court is daily making votes for herself. The wide acquaintance she obtained during her connection with the county attorney's office is conducive help to her in making votes for the office she has worked still has a standing inflection for a position if she wants it. Miss Kesler never asked for office before and she is well competent to take r una lowing are the resolutions: Bellering as we do that men of worth in any community should be appreciated and encouraged, we the citizen and representatives of the various religious organizations in the city of Topeka feel that we should express ourselves in this document. Whereas, Rev. C. (I. Blankhack, A. M. D.), has pastured in our city for the past thirteen years in one of the leading churches of the state. Whereas, he was ever alert in the interest of the people generally, and was not unmindful of the interests and welfare of the race for large as shown by his activities in the state. Whereas, he kept an eye on the movements of the members to see that no law was placed on the statute books that would hamper or embarrass the race. Whereas, by our daily contact and association blit in religious, business and social life a Christian gentle man, a good brother and a leader with but few equals. Be it resolved: That while we regret the thoughts of him leaving our city and state, we congratulate the people of Cleveland upon the, good fortune of his council and association; and the Bishop Baptist church of their wise choice of him these resolutions be given to the Rev. C. G. Fishhack and sent to the Bishop Baptist church at Cleveland, Ohio, and to the public press.

It looks as if the title is sweeping toward Jennings for his reelection the people realize that they would have to go a long way to find a better man for sheriff than Tom Jennings, those that have had the privilege of boarding with Mr. Jennings, speak very high of him that makes no difference in the treatment of prisoners, and gives them plenty to eat. My prediction is that Tom Jennings will succeed himself. R P Rosland, candidate for county superintendent, is closing his fourth term. It would be wrong to impede the progress of education at this progressive age. There are one hundred and eleventh standard rural schools in the state of Kansas of which are in Reno counties like those in modern rural school buildings as many as 100 schools of Ittoo county are far in advance to what they were eight years ago, which is due to Mr. Low indulging efforts if there is an office in which ability should count. It is that of county superintendent at Mr. Rosland has been a student supervisor in Reno county, aside for a college student elsewhere, practically all of which holds a state certificate for life. He has often been mentioned as a possible candidate for state superintendent. It appears to me that it would be a step backwards to change a man who is doing and has done so much for the schools. If there is a candidate in Reno county that ought to be elected, it is Nam Gulipup, and his many friends, white and black will see to it that Gulipup gets a big majority for justice of the peace. Nam is not a lawyer, but he knows more about the law than anyone else. Nam is one fellow that surely likes us; we will go out of the way to do Nam a favor. He is honest and true to his friends. Nam would not knowingly do anyone a wrong. There are no juts in Nam's court, he treats all alike, and holding a little office does not swell Gulipup's head. Nam would not do anything that does not set a fasser. If he can vote for Nam and not have helped one that has helped mans. Vote for Nam Gulipup.

Matured at the Postoffice at Topeka, Kansas, as Second Class Mail Matter. BFATHMENT of the ownership, management collection, required by act of Congress Aug. 24, 1912, of The Topeka Districtaler, published weekly at Topeka, Kansas: (By Daniel S. Thompson, Kath. Kun.) The just are to live by faith, not by feeling, yet religious feeling is an excellent thing to have. Like other good habits, it is sometimes acquired slowly and gradually. A strong and lasting of freedom, a pure and abiding love, grouping, vigorous, appropriating faith, will generally keep the emotions in lively expression so that the worshiping heart will be kept low, let the heart spring up into everlasting life. Keep your feelings in good tone. They help him in living satisfaction to life. The time for study resistance to the difficulties and temptations of the day is usually the period of youth, when one is facing the future, as well as realizing the present, and when the past does not loom large in one's view. The point of youth is very short, the future looks in terminal, and the immediate present is strentuous. Middle age often carries the whirlwind youth has had to carry with it a straightforward and serene cheer impossible to youth, and old age is, or should be, the season of tranquility the season of resting on the ears and waiting for the end. But this reading must be impressible if our lives have not been well spent; too many of our folks are too uncommon about their duty to their churches, and about their daily Christian living. We do not notice this so much in the cities as in the rural districts, because it is to the country that we are looking for the strong men and women of tomorrow, who are to go out to grapple with and successfully meet the emergencies of life. But where are we to get these strong men and women, and what are we to hope for, if we fall in the training and development of the talent of our young people? Our only hope for Christianity and for civilisation is in the opportunity that lies in the fact that the life of our nation is being constantly renewed. Black of each generation of weary men and women comes up a multitude of belefted boys and girls with their unappolished souls and aniline possibilities. To them we turn from our failures and disappointment to our success, to the help of Providence we will see that they lived nobler and happier lives, and more useful than we have lived. But it is impossible for us to accomplish the things that we hope for if the older people do not set the pace in living examples for the young people. We have so many people in our churches and various branches of society who want to be leaders, and who are heads of families and who have talent and education, but who are really a blunders to every movement that comes up for them home each community. They teach home each community from their churches encouraging practices uncommon Christians and keep their children home from the Sunday school because they do not like the superintendent or some of the teachers A great many parents send their children to Sunny school occasionally to get items, so to see how things are conducted so they may have something to goody about during the week. The time most surely come when the Ngo once will see its error it must go some or later so that if rain and women of a high character are to be given to the next generation, that children must be sent to church and Sunday school, not to find fault with their instructors but to learn the gospel truths that are being taught, the lessons of sight living, how to be good and kind. Children do not learn to be good altogether by hearing sermons and listening to the words of their Sunday school teachers, but by practicing goodness, children learn to be good if people will only encourage the child, and demand of it to do the right, then there is some hope for the child. On the other hand if the child is encouraged in wrongdoing by the parent not living right before it then the only thing that awaits that child is destruction. One great mistake that many parents make when their children are apt in their studies is that they spoil them by too much praise, and it finally comes to the point that, whether the child is right or wrong the parent will decide with the child, but it should be made to understand that other people know a few things like: if there is an failure the child it will prove a detriment to the race; if we do not train and prepare the young people of today to assume the responsibilities of tomorrow, what hope have we of progress? --- Next to our Christian duty, and folly an important, is our duty to our government as citizens. There are a great many of our Negro citizens who are like a certain class of the whites, who are not showing a very high rate of progress in the class of their citizenship. As the time draws near for the selection of men and women to fill the various offices in our national and local governments one is reminded of the necessity of the inefficient use of the ballot. I am sorry to say it, but it is an open book to the world that the men who are corrupting the politics of the country are in the majority. The corruption of politics eventually leads to inefficiency in the conduct of government affairs while the people go to the breeding of birds and all kinds of crimes, which is commercialized by the government when the government is not conducted upon the basis of honest principles that should characterize a nation of intelligence like the United States. The Negro race, however, should serve the American people as an example; it should take the initiative in the coming election and vote for the best men and women for office and not for the fifty cents or the dollar and the key of beer that a candidate would offer. We have come to the place where principle and the effort to secure good, honest government is at stake; let the Negro use the ballot in a way that when the election is over he can demand some representation and aid in the effort to help improve the condition of africa. As long as the Negro race is willing to sell its birthright for a "meas of potage," just so long must it be a "hewer of wood and a carrier of water." The candidate for office who is willing to give the voter fifty cents would be just as willing to lend the candidate hundred dollars after putting into the bank. We should hear this in mind.

Archie Washington Accidentlly Shot and Killed by a Schoolmate. Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock a 22-callier rifle in the hands of a chum and schoolmate of Archie Washington, pupil of Monroe school, was accidentally discharged, the bullet entering near young Washington's heart, from which he died almost instantly. It was one of the most horrific accidents that ever occurred in Topeka, and is the most famous out the city, a feeling of sorrow and deep regret was expressed by all who knew the unfortunate youth. The accident occurred near J. M. Ferguson and Son's grocery store, corner of Fifteenth and Quilter streets, where Archie and a num- Ache was universally liked by everybody and a favorite with his classmates and playfellows. Even tempted, courteous, kind, polite, and always smiling Archie endeared himself in the hearts of a host of friends among the best people of both races. His mother died some four or more years ago, and his aunt, Miss Rita Combs assumed the responsibility of rearing him, and to her credit it can be truthfully said that a mother could not have done more. She loved and cared for him as her own, and his untimely desire is a telling blow to who who had looked forward to the day when Archie would become a man. She had drenned of a bright future for him, a day when he would take care of her, only to have her fondest hope blighted forever. He was born in Topeka 17 years ago, and resided here until the end ending Saturday afternoon.

The shrine was tenderly held to rest, "under the soil and the dew." May angels guard his soul. O 8. AND D. UMILIARY MUFTING.

In losing love to Little Cartwright, who died at the home of her parents Sunday morning, Sept. 30, 1916 Calm on the bosom of the God They that have seen the book in death No more may fear to die. In thinking of Lottie we think as thought the poet. Isn't it nice when death dogs come that he'll find you safe at home? All that the losing hands of relatives and friends could do for Lottie dogs but the kids too wear and the Taylor did her gently home "Lead Me Gently Home" was her favorite song, and looking down on her painful face we knew that it was true. To the loved ones left behind we will say: All over now, the battle dog. All over town, the harrier hubs. Fulhr was strugged on, but death had won! And with a touch that was almost sweet he held the jaws of summer at her feet. For every heart must die that earth has known- This dear heart too; yes, it must go alone; For everything must feel a season's change. A chill of winter and a land that's strange. There is no end to love that's like God's and ours! With Him will be eternal summer flowers. 47 CHRISTMAS, KAY Mr. and Mrs. Renj Jackson of 121 East Hillie entertained Rev. W. H.

There is a reaper whose name is Death, And with his slick keen It roams the bearded grain at a breath, And the flowers that grow between. Not often is a death more sincerely re- granted by the entire community than was that of Ray Otto Cole, who departed this He on Sunday, September 17, after an illness of several months. He was born in Pittsburg, and was 27 years, 3 months and 12 days old at the time of his death. He had worked in the shipping department of the Pittsburg Wholesale Grocery to for nine years and was highly esteemed for them. He was a devoted Christian, being a member of St. Helena Hipkist church for the past seven years, from which bury the funeral was conducted on Sunday, Sept. 19, by Pastor J. T. Ellis. He was a Missionary and a member of colleagues in the church of that order. He leaves to mourn his loss as a loving mother and father two sisters and two brothers, be- holds a host of relatives and friends. We miss his pleasant smiles; He was our joy and pride We loved him, ah, perhaps too well, For soon he slept and died. All is dark within our dwelling Lonely are our hearts today.

Based upon the investigation of officers and the story told under oath by Thomas Dunn, a complaint will be sworn to by Harvey Parsons, chief of police, charging Albert Hallow, a Negro, with the murder of Andrew Powell, colored. Sunday afternoon at 10 a.m. Kinnan avenue, all the men in the year, all methods between the head and body except the spinal column being severed. Dunn does not admit being an眼 witness altho one of the remarkable features of his statement is that he admits sitting on the ground facing the two men and rolling a cigarette while the murder was immediate cause for trouble between Hallow and Powell was an argument over the distance between a horsehose and a peg driven into the ground. "Half a dozen follows had been around the Hallow place during the day," said Dunn. "Finally, afternoon, all of them left except Hallow, pitching a horsehose. Powell bet a dollar against a pint of whiskey that he could outflush Hallow "I was sitting by a shed about ten feet away from one pet keeping store by marking in the dust on the ground. The score was thirteen and eight when Hailey and Katie took the dog to the front door. Each man claimed his shoe was nearest the pig. They got a stick and were measuring. He Rolled a Cigarette. "I rolled a cigarette and put a match to it. When the smoke came out, we were not at the where they had been a moment before—not ten feet away from me. I saw Powell over 75 feet away living on the ground kicking his legs. I did not see Hailey anywhere. I ran to the cellar and turned him over on his bed and asked him what was the matter. He did not answer, then I saw the gash in his throat. I ran on to the house and called for Hailey. He did not answer. I called several times then went around and sat down on the cushions. The dawn came. I don't know who put in the call." "How do you explain the blood that was found on your right hand?" asked Robert Garner, assistant county attorney. "I got that trying to roll Powell over before. I know what was the matter with him." "That story about not seeing what happened ten feet in front of you doesn't go. You'll have to put up a better story or you are going to become involved in this matter deeply," suggested the attorney. "If I get mixed up in it," said Dunn, "I will get mixed up because I tell the truth I have told the exset truth. I've told everything just as I saw it." Dunn stated that when he turned Ivell's wells body over it was about five feet west of a well in the Havel yard.
