We ure not surprise St the elitorial, nor are Governo Capper and the citizens of Kanuas when they know that this was. the Democratic novinee for governor against Governor Capper at the iss election, and what he failed to carry oat in the election he Ix now trying to carry out in his editorials in hls nowepaper by iebavehing and” de faming not only Gov. Cupper and the Republican party and the staunch white and colored people of Kaneae, Tut he is trying to'mahe a name for himself with hia assochites in the Southland like Toke Smith and oth. ers whom we have mentioned We presume from hie elitoral that f preparing to move to the South, where he can carry out his ideas of crushing and debauching the rights and privilegen of colntel people, Yes, Kansas is proud of Gov. Cap- prs; for he stands an a fenrews gant a the defense. and honor of the great state of Kansas and her citl- Fens. “He construes her laws. to mean that all rnces in the confines ef Kansas shyll have the same Tights and treatment nt his hands and that no one shall over complain that he used his office in favor of one clasn or one race against an- other, The white, the black, the rich, the poor, the high unl the low all stam in equality before great Governor Capper, anv of the sereatest governors Kanras ever had when it comes to human rights. In fact, ‘every move he has made has heen fer the belterment of its citizens, ‘We wish to inform the editor of the Union that he docen‘t. under- stand what the colored poeple want fa Kaneas, or anywhere else, He doesn’t nssociite with them, and when he ‘says the colored people of Galena were clamoring for colored vchools he was eudly mistaken. What the colored people want and” what the editor of the Salina JInion ougit to want, {e that all the public innti- tutions should be for all the people and not for uny classes or recs, We Felieve in the education of the races tagether, for there all woul Tearn to respect the rame flag and the rights ef cach other, Now, in reference to the individual attention given to children In reparate schools, it 1s all a farce. Any teacher who could not rive all children the same attention and service should he dismissed, Peo- ple who draw money from the public Treasury hould give service without any distinction whatever, and when they fail to do that they. should he | dismissed. If cither white or col- erod persons do not wish thelr chil- dren to go to public schools because there are different races attending thote school, then they ought to go down in their pockets and send their children to. private schools. The Gatholfes puf as much taxes an the Protestants, and yet. they go down ja thefr pockets and provide scpar- ate schools for their children bernuse they de not care to have them attend Protestant schools, Now, if, Catho- Kes ean do this, why can’ not white peopte on the order of tainulon, who mre fled with negrophabia, do the ame? ‘The ides of him spe sing of the presence of colored chil Iren be. jag tolerated ‘rather thin welemmed ja the public achouls is more than we can understand from a man who srpired tb be the chlef executive of the atate of Kunxas, Jn this state. mont he shows that he te unfit to serve in any public office, and hard- 7.

Governor Capner is a high ref, educated, Christian gentleman ind his religion would not allow him @ de otherwire than he did, The moveraor notified the Senate and the foure of Iepresentatives that if hat bill came before him he would to ft; and we’are glad that he fe man posressed of such strong per- enality that he could stand up and Al the enemy, though he bein reat numbers, ‘that he, the gov" nor, was glected to stand up for he people and what was right. Tad jovernar Capper not told’ these leg: slators this, they would have passed he bill. Ifo was a atone wall that shuffed the soft-headed enemies the wero constantly distr'buting S85: ens. Face Peon nee the white people. Let the colored people be thankful to Governor Cap: rer for threatening to veto this measure, for if it had passed it would soon be that sogregation laws would bo enacted against the colored people in cities and towns, Following fs the Union's editorial in part: Capper and the Negroca, Whatever other votes Governor Crpper may lose through the mix. aviventuies and blunders of his ad- ministration, he is quite determine? to hold firrly to the support of the calmed brother. The people of Gas tena und other second class cities arc ery antious to have separate schools fag white and coloed chil- dren duiing the first eight years of the school course, Representative Spuks of Cherokee county intro. duced a bill in’ the House giving such cities the necessary authority to carry the segregation of races in grade schools into effect. Separate school for colored chil- dren below the high school grades are advantageous to both ices, In repirnte schools the Negro pupils get_ instruction fiom membees of their own race, they get more indi- vidual attention, they are not sub- fect to the annoyances, incults and other bad treatment that they invar- jably aeceive in the mixed schools, and they develop a_ pride in their own people Impossible where they ate educated among white children and their presence is tolerated rather than welcomed. Separate — schools for colored childien provide honora- ble, useful and well paid employ. ‘ment for x considerable number of the well educated Negro men and women of every community in which they are maintained. There {3 really no sound arm ment against pegregating the races in the grade schooly. Every educa tional and roctal condition favors the wisdom of this plun. The Negro pohticians and the Republican offi. citls who hold office by reason of Negro votes do not believe in sepir- ate schools. Every colored agitator in Kansis who Wants something from Capper and the Republican patty opposat the Sparks bill, Gov- ernor Capper, appealed to by ‘the Mack politiciins who have niways supported him, decreet that the bill should not pies, Orders wero Issued from the governor's, office that the reparate school bill must be killed, The administration forces raw that this was done, Nor {4 the governor ratisfied with Woeking the movement for separate schools for the white and colored races in second class cities, He fs plinning to hind the support of the Negroes to himself by rendering other services ta them * * * in ore der that the Negro yote may be kept solidly in line for Governor Capper, oe ee ele Every gooil citizen of Kansas wants lo ree the Negroes of this state enjoy all the educational ad- vantages tnd political opportunitier to which they ure entitled. No one not entirely bhnied by party con- silerations is able to fee any con+ sistency or nny sense in a Repub. hean, or rather a Capper, policy (the twa are no longer the same) that denies seprrate schools for col- pred pupils in the grades where they are neelet nnd nt the same time moide senarate higher instl- tutions of leining that the Negroes most certainly do not need. * * * An Evening With Sir Frank Wilson Head of the Great Taborian Order Royally Entertains.

Refreshments of ice ercam, cake and punch were servd by tev- eral Daughters of the Tabernacle, Everybody remained seated while the Fofreshrrents were pasted. A very excellent time was enjoyed by all and they were af one opinon that Chief Grand Mentor Wilson should lie congratulated on retting a pce for other grand officers to follow. He brought the memlcrs together and made them feel that he was con- sidering their welfare, and, like a Cutler githera his children around him, be rhowel that he would gather hus chil ben around him. Dr. Taylor's Address, Mr. Chairman, Knights and 'Daugh- tore of the inteinational Order ot Twelve, Ladies and Gentlemen: I have’ been asked to sty a few words about this great and noble ure der; great, because It wus founded unon the Christian rekgion—/n Solo Deo Satur, “in God alone is safety"; noble because its every nim fx to lift up fallen humanity and place them on a sold and sure foundation, If T had the tongue of a Demostience or the pen of a Shakexpeaie I could not tell you of the good and benefit this order has rendered to humanity. All orders, socitties and —govern- ments were instituted for the pur- pose of muking a united effort ino ssiven directions what one man can not accomplich, many men united cun; hence the great and noble enter- prises for the uplift of mankind are curnied forwmd by companies, 9- cicties or o1anizations of a number of persons to uccorplish a certain end. Man was made a social being, | and he must have society or tho company of a fellow being or he will drift into barbarism and brutality. He is an intelligent Leing, Civihza- tion, art, science and government must come only from o united ef- fort. With these things in mind, the Internattonal Order of Twelve has formed ene band united by the strongest tes of friendship and hound together by solemn obligations und established on a firm basis for the purpose of making a united and effective effort in aiding each mem- ver in sickness or distress, to protect ind defend each other and to md and elp the widows and orphans of members, and to inculeate true mor- lity, that the members may be an example to the whole world of man- kind. The members are reminded hat education, thrift, industry, econ my und a cultivated mind wall open he way to a useful and respecte! ife. We ure urged to respect in- ellizence wherever we ace it, ‘the order also advises us to ac- quire reul estate; this makes atmn ir woman a power and a reliable ‘itizen, We are instructed ta avoid ntemperance and cultivate true mane ond und womanhood.

Stanley, ley, Governor. Frankfort, Kentucky, January 30th, 1917. Mrs. Myrtle Jacobs, Cor. Secretary Independent Civic League, Kinsley, Kansas: Dear Mrs. Jacobs—Your kind and valued favor of recent date to hand. You will please convey to your league my profound appreciation of its words of commendation and approval. The constitution of this state was alike ordained for the protection of every citizen in his life, in his liberty and his property. No man should be denied their complete enjoyment on account of his wealth or his poverty, his creed or his color. If the law makes no such distinction, a mob should not be permitted to do so, or to overthrow established institutions, trample the law under foot and to wreak its vengeance according to its prejudice or its wrath. As long as I am governor of Kentucky I shall continue in the future, as in the past, to see that, so far as in me lies, the law is rigorously enforced, and that no man shall suffer, save for crime committed, and then only after h4 guilt has been established by an impartial and authorized tribunal.
