Topeka Plaindealer Historical Society Data House Nineteenth Year. No.12 JAY E. HOUSE IS THE MAN JAY E. HOUSE IS THE MAN A Record of Efficiency Commends the Present Mayor a Second Term. It is no time for experiments in our city government, and in selecting a man for the office of mayor, the people should be guided by this fact as well as the splendid second made by Mr. Jay E. House, the present mayor and candidate for nomination and election. For strict business and economy, Topeka has never equalled the House administration, and if given two years more Mr. House will be able to outdo the past two years. He has handled and disposed of every question where the people's interests were involved in a perfectly satisfactory manner, dealing squarely with all concerned. As mayor of Topeka, Mr. House has conducted the office as he would a personal matter, always making sure of his ground before plunging heedlong into a thing. It has made his administration safe and one and money that some grand-tender would have cast to the winds in making a big "show" for himself has been saved and spent where it was needed. Pulse prophets are going to put more gas into the mains, build jails, purchase municipal farms, etc., no matter whether the people vote is for same or not. How silly it all seems for good, well balanced men to try to put us hume over on the people, who lift their votes said "no" to both the jail and farm propositions, and as to the gas, the question is one over which the mayor has no jurisdiction and no matter who is elected mayor, it will remain as it is unless Governor Capper goes after his utilities commission with a stuffed-club and forces that body to come into. He made the commission and the fact that he is not foregoing them into action is evidence that the Governor is still fed with the conduct of these men. Punch the Governor on the gas matter, Mr. House's not guilty, Mr. Houe deserves a soff term and you should vote to give it to him. PARSONS. KAN.

Notton, candidate for commissioner of finance, which appears elsewhere in these columns. Col. Notton has devoted the best days of his life in the service of his country and has been for nearly a half century a tireless worker for the advancement of Topka. He needs no introduction to the voters of this city, and especially the colored people. Always in the forefront of that which would advance and uplift them, the colored people feel grateful to the Colonel and are proud of an opportunity to cast a vote for him. There is not a better qualified man for the important office of commissioner of finance in all Topeka than Col. J. D. Notton. He has the experience and ability, having been thoroughly schooled in the world of finance. He has filled positions of public trust where large sums were entrusted to his care and keeping, and he has accurately accounted for every penny. The present incumbent has grown fat in the office during the past seven years, and it is but fair that someone else be given a chance, and Col. Notton is the rightful successor. At the primaries don't forget your tried, true friend, Col. J. D. Notton, for commissioner of finance. PLEASANTON, KAN. Messrs.

THE NEGRO MIGRATION There is much talk in the South-east of another Negro migration in the spring. When the migrations began a year or more ago the South said it would be a good thing; that the Negro lover would go North, be foolish and mistreated and come back sabder and wiser on. But, instead, Negroes kept on coming North and only a few went back. Reports have it that many of them did not stay with their first jobs, but they stayed in the North. In fact, the first 100 carefully selected Negroes brought North by the Dato railroad are musically all in the employ of the road yet. Now the South has begun to look into the question and the various cities have quit passing foolish ordinances prohibiting labor agents from employing Negroes and the police have quit arresting Negroes that gather at the station to see a Northern train depart. The major proposal now put forth a to stop lynching This move is very strongly supported in Georgia, where white industrial leaders lay the migration troubles chiefly to lynchings. The press of the State is practically a unit in demanding a fair trial for all Negro offenders. Added to this plan of the "keep them at home platform" are demands for better houses and schools. It is generally admitted that unless the spring movement can be headed off the State is going to be in a bad way for labor. To this is added a suggestion of better wages. When the attention of The President is called to any misstatement of facts in these columns, or to any error concerning any man or thing, correction will apparently be made. Unstated communications, except from our regular correspondents, will not be published. BANSAS CITY, KAN., AND KANSAS CITY, MO. Everyone should vote for Mr. E. O.

The mock trial Wednesday evening at the Second Baptist church proved a more mirth-provoking affair than anticipated. Mendenhall vs. Dorsey in a $25,000 breach of promise suit was staged in regular court order—Judge James II. Guy, as judge; Attorney Elisha Scott, plaintiff's lawyer, and Attorney Fred C. Helm of Wichita, defense lawyer. The jurors were Mrs. Dave Beard, Miss Ruth Haynes, Miss Hazel Lacev, Mr. W. E. Stewart, Mr. John Williams and Mr. G. D. Raliney; Miss Haynes, foreman. The star witness for the plaintiff, Mrs. Dodson, proved the best witness for the defense, and Mrs. Julia Kelly and Mr. Malcolm Griffith, defense witnesses proved most excellent witnesses for the plaintiff, Mrs. Carrie Bradshaw and the plaintiff made good witnesses for their side and the defendant made a good witness for himself. Miss Edna Greene was court clerk and made a valuable asset to the fun producer. But the chief spellbinder for the evering was Mrs. Amanda Beard, who was drawn as a juror, but was disqualified on grounds of prejudice in favor of the plaintiff, she admitting that without regard to the law and the evidence she was for the plaintiff. The attorneys played well their puts and won much favorable comment. The jury found in favor of the defendant. A neat sum of money was realized.
