Troutman, Republican candidate for governor or preaching a doctrine that meets the hearty approbation of every true Mcpublian in Kansas. The rank and file of the party is disgusted with the idea of conducting the state's business through boards and commissions and the Troutman idea is going to be strongly endorsed.. In a speech at Newton a few days ago Mr Troutman said: "The governorship is the limit of my political aspirations. If elected I shall not be a candidate for any other office during my gubernatorial term. "The supreme executive power of the state shall be voted in a governor," is the mandatory language of our constitution. Obedience to this mandate requires that the governor be on the job, and give his time, thought and energy to the state. If the governor is "the supreme executive power," there can be no divided allegiance, and no equation on distribution of final responsibility. "I'm with, out of more, there has been an increasing demand upon our governors for public and social service, in no way connected with official duties. Out of a generous and magnanimous spirit, they have responded to these demands at a sacrifice of time and energy which belong to the state. No criticism of any governor is intended or implied by this statement. I am sure that Governor Capper and his predecessors agree in depicting this system. It seems to me that these public demands have become so numerous and exacting, that a candidate for governor is justified in saying in advance, that if elected, services which are in no way correlated with executive duty and responsibility will be reduced to very narrow limits. "The constitutional requirements dress a hat, dress a hat. The legislature has created so many independent commissions, boards and departments, that the governor has been shown to be a part of his power and responsibility. The sup- reme executive power instead of remainning, with the governor, where the constitution placed it, has been distributed among a multitude of its over which he has no actual control or authority. "The constitution also creates an 'executive department,' composed of seven state officers, with the governor or as the supreme executive head, to illustrate my point. The state has authorized the appointment and employment of various attorneys. The law business of the state should be done by the attorneys general. All other attorneys employed by the state, for general or specific duties, should be subordinate and responsible to the state's constitutional law department. Other illustrations will suggest themselves. "It is my belief that no greater public service can be rendered than to concentrate responsibility and duty in the supreme executive power,' and the six other members of the 'executive department,' as the constitution intended." (Concluded from Page One.) sees to it that some colored man runs for office. Mr. W. C. Maxwell, the photographer is doing a good business. We met our friend T. J. Shackleford, formerly of Atchison, who is employed with the brick and stone masons at $300 per day. He has purchased four acres of land at the end of Market Street car lines, which is very valuable. We stopped at our old friends N. A. Mitchell, proprietor of the Utopia Hotel. Mr. Mitchell was formerly of Kanans and is a broad-minded, educated, Christian gentleman, and spares no pains to make it pleasant for his friends. We had the pleasure of visiting Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Nevins, who conduct one of the finest grocery stores in the West, and there is no better equipped grocery in the United States. Mr. Nevins owns the building, which is of fine pressed brick, and they have a truck for delivery. They are just "it," that is all. There is no reason why colored people over the country could not do as this man is doing, but they will not give their time to it. No man can succeed in any kind of business if he does not nourish it. The store enjoys a large trade, and goods are sold reasonable. Mrs. Nevins was a sister to the late J. Hume Childers, former editor of this paper. The people of St. Louis as a whole are not progressive along business bus. We would like to see several dry goods and notion stores owned and controlled by colored people, but we saw only one. The only man in St. Louis who has a first class automobile garage with fine Pierre Arrow machines is Mr. Richard (Dick) Kent on Chestnut Street. As a whole we cannot say that they are holding their own; they are losing ground, for, as we said before, the Greeks have all the restaurants. We met our old friend Harvey E. Davis, who conducts a first class buffet and restaurant on Jefferson Street. He is a fine business man and has a host of friends. Mr. Davis's father recently died at Louisville, Ky. at the age of 102 years. He was married for eighty-two years and had several children, the youngest of whom was over fifty when he died. The Louisville Courier-Journal, speaking of the deceased, said that he served in the war of 1812 and in the Mexico War and was sixty years old when the civil war broke out, and after much plending was allowed to enlist in it. His mind was as clear as a whistle when he died. It was a source of pleasure to talk to him concerning these different wars in which he participated. Mexico This was our second trip to Mexico, and the first thing we did was to look for a good stopping place, and, having stopped at the boarding house of Mrs. S. J. Young, one of the best cooks in the country, and who serves good, wholesome menus, we naturally begin to make our way to her house and arrived there just in time to enjoy a fine dinner. Mrs. Young is a very energetic lady and owns good property, raises hogs and chickens, and farms on a small scale. We met Rev. C. V. Page, pastor of the A. M. E. church, who is doing a great work. The people are proud of him. The church had been in debt for twenty years before Rev. Page, but he raised several hundred dollars by raights and is bringing the church membership up, and people can now see the difference in having a poor minister to one who goes far and has the honesty and integrity to pay their bills and see that the church is beautified. Mr. J. W Swan still conducts a barber shop. Dr. W. C. Rowan a graduate of Merchury Medical School, is the physician of the town. He is a race man and is doing fine. Mr. N. A. Wilts conducts a nice confectionery, grocery, and second-hand store, and if the colored people would patronize him as they should, he could employ several people, but it seems that the colored people of Mexico are still under the guidance of the white man and would rather give their money to a white man than trade with their own color. There has also been a nice ice cream parlor and confectionery opened up, which speaks well for the town. Columbia Here we met our old friend Henry Kirklin, who is one of the most successful gardeners in the country, and it is a source of pleasure to go over his garden with him. He is now transplanting cedar for fall, and his blackberries and raspberries are looking fine, and if we have rain any time soon, he will need a large number of pickers to prepare the berries for market. Mr Kirklin is a fine agriculturist and knows what to do with a truck garden, and his produce yields him hundreds of dollars a year, for he is always the first on the market. He ships plants far and near. Doctors Moore and Taylor are enjoying a good practice. The colored people have a first class laundry, which is owned and operated by Prof. Coleman and wife, and they are succeeding. Dr. Caldwell is operating a first class drug store and doing a fine business. While in Columbia we stopped at the home of our friend Mr. Schwich and family, Mr. Schwich is now in Chicago, where he has a fine position, ... Aunt Fisher and daughter are among the progressive women of the town. Mrs Fisher owns a nice farm right out of town, and when she is not engaged in making beaten biscuits she spends her time and energy on her farm. There is a first class grocery in the town owned by Alex Hicks, which store is located on Main Street. honest life We stopped over at Booneville for a few hours, and while there attended the meeting of the district Sunday school convention of the Baptists, which was held at the church of which Rev. Botts is pastor. There A First, grow your own Hair, so that you can tell others how to grow theirs Mme. McClelland's Double Strength DANDRUFF CURE is a Marvelous Discovery—will positively promote the growth of hair in a very short time, providing it is used according to directions. Dandruff, Falling Hair, Itching Scalp, etc., have been was a fine body of representatives at the meeting, and we were asked to address them at one session. Here we met Rev. R. E. Lee of Bunceon, Mo, who paid us two years' subscription to the Plaindealer. At Booneville is located the Boys' Industrial School, which we visited, and we must say that it is a shame and disgrace the way this institution is conducted, especially the treatment that is accorded the colored boys. The superintendent in charge should be made to treat the colored boys as human or resign and some fit person he placed in charge. None of the colored boys are allowed to learn a trade, but are all put into one building, where there is no matron, but a matron is provided to care for the white boys. These poor boys do the best they can under the circumstances. Their bed rooms are filthy, and in their assembly room the old dirty toilets are right out in the open with no pretense of privacy. Why the colored people of the town do not look after these conditions is more than we can apprehend. Out of 490 boys 142 are colored. Mrs. S. P. Toley conducts a first class cafe with confectionery and grocery in connection in the main part of town. She is doing well. Mr. P. Humphrey conducts a barber shop and owns a number of acres of farm land where he raises hogs and poultry and is doing fine. Mr. H. H. Martin, the undertaker, is still on hand, also Dr. R. Len Hill, who is enjoying a fine practice. We also met our friend Mr. Robt. Ellhott, the plasterer and contractor. The new law regarding loafers is accomplishing much good in this town. Sedah At Sedalia we stopped over night, found that the colored people in some parts of the town are improving their property. Doctor Harris is building a fine $1,000 residence on his farm, which adjoins the city. Rev J. M. Harris, pastor of the A M. E. Church, is a live wire and is building a fine $12,000 pressed brick front church, which will be a monument not only to the colored people of Sedalia, but to the entire city. Rev. Harris is certainly a bright, accomplished young minister, and we expect before the end of time that he will have to connect himself with some church that will promote him to a higher position. We see in him good bishop timber. We met the only retired real estate man in the country in the person of Mr. A J. Adams, who has lived in Sedalia for the past forty-two years and now lives off his income, and takes life easy. We were at the home of our old friend, Rev. Ward and wife, formerly of this city on the North Side. They are doing nicely and taking life easy, have a good church and a large following, but he is one of those industrious ministers who believes in doing something. He has a fine garden which occupies his time during the summer months. He owns property in several different towns in Missouri, believes in his race. Lexington Here we met our old friend Conway, the barber, and a man who is full of information. He has lived in Lexington all his life and is a great charl worker and business man. All of Lexington is proud of the new café PL. IN 6-29, opho. fwHosor M. co. and rooming house just opened by Mr. Johnson, formerly of Fort Scott. Everything is neat and up-to-date. His wife is manager, and he runs a clothes cleaning establishment in another building. We had the pleasure of meeting Roy W. H Smith, pastor of the M. E. church, who is an excellent gentleman, a widower, and one of the leading ministers of his church. He is a graduate of Hopkins Normal Institute, located at Parsons, where so many young men and women have received their education. Doctor Ball, the physician, is doing one. Mrs. W. C Huecon, wife of the leading attorney of Kansas City, and little son are the guests at the Bull home. Rev. T. J. Sanford, pastor of the A. M. E. Church, was married at the last general conference at Coffeyville to one of Fumoria's leading young ladies, and they are still enjoying their honeymoon. They vis- KINGMAN AND PRETTY PRAIRIE, KAN. One of the largest and grandest affairs that were ever given in Kingman county was given in the park there June 15th. The affair was given by the Banks families and Mr. A. Bunice, who constitute the colored population of Pretty Prairie, and the people of Kingman, though few in number were they, they were many in the eyes of their guests. Mr. Geo. Floyd did himself credit as chef, and large pans of roasted meat, potatoes, salad, pickles, pie, cake, sandwiches, and ice cream awaited the guests. Friends from Pratt, Wichita, Anthony, Hutchinson, and Laps participated. Miss Milda Banks, acting chairman introduced Mr. T. M. Ganaway of Pratt, who made a very interesting talk, followed by Benj. Butler of Hutchinson and B. II. Avery of Wichita. Others made very interesting responses. Every one left the park weighing a few pounds more and carrying a few sorrows less. About eighty-five persons enjoyed the affair J. C. Banks and family entertained the following persons after the picnic: Mr. and Mrs. Bert Radhuk of Hutchinson, Mr. and Mrs. B. II. Avery of Wichita, Mr. and Mrs. J. Cown of Wichita Mrs. Henry Buckener of Pratt, Miss Juanta, Leona and W. Wollins of Pratt, Carrie Ratkick of Hutchinson, Lottie Johnson of Wichita, Messrs Reed Flennig and Joe Johnson of Pratt, Benj. Butler, James Woodson, Sam Lee, Leslie Woodson of Hatcherson, Dr. and Mrs G. G. Brown of Wichita, and Archive Burns of Pretty Prairie. Mr. and Mrs. B. H. Avery, Mr. and Mrs. J. Cowan, and Miss Florence Banks protored from the Banks home Sandy evening to be the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Buckener of Pratt.

Richmond This is a mining town where there are many prosperous colored miners who own good homes and are doing well. There is a first class candy and confectionery store in the town, and a nice restaurant with ice cream parlor in connection. What the people need now is a large grocery store, for they are receiving thousands of dollars a year and giving their money back to the white man. We are under many obligations to Mr. S T. Gordon, who piloted us through the town. We must say that the colored people of Richmond are loyal to a colored newspaper—out of twenty-seven persons we saw we collected from twenty-five, which speaks well. Prof. Jacobs is our correspondent and takes delight in sending news to this paper, so if you have any item of news, see him.

Washam and Mrs. Travis Lights assisted by Miss Francis Hayes were the moving figures in planning and carrying out a surprise party on her sixteenth birthday as a welcome home to Miss Cleo DePriest who made her home with an uncle, Mr. and Mrs. James DePriest, while attending High school in Salina the past winter. Miss Cleo was with friends for supper and very cleverly her return was announced in time to silence music and cymbalish lights. When Cleo entered the home to turn on the lights she was greeted with "surprise" by the following young people: Misses Francis Haves, Dorothy Odell, Marion Odell, Marvin King, Thelma Chiles, of Colorado Springs, Capitola Jones, Tillie Jones, Valeria Griffith, Hazel Griffith, Juanita Griffith, Dina Barker, Theresa Barrier, Notine Roland, Olivia Smith, Dorothy Page, Rose Page, Mildred Parker, Plossie Hardy, Horace Ridley, Josephine Reeves, Ethel Woodward, of Junction City; Lillian King, Jennio Boswell, of Salina; Mrs. J. T. Moseley and Mrs. Travis Harris. Messrs William McKnight, Ralph White, Jean Danforth, Baxter Duke, Samuel Shuck, James Duke, Bishop Bingham, Aaron Greene, Robert Graham, Pierre DePriest, Leo DePriest, Ferdinand Yoder and Dr. J. L. Ransom Potted plants and flowers decorated the home and Japanese lanceurs the lawn. A large birthday cake and refreshments were served on the lawn. After spending the evening in pleasurable past time, the guest departed, leaving among the presents a gold wrist watch, beautiful fan and ukulele. There will be a grand patriotic rally and celebration given July 4th at Lakewood Park. There will be some good speakers and a band concert; plenty of good refreshments in the cool shade of this park. All are invited and assured a good time. By order of committee: A. J. Wilson, A. G. Hagan and Wm. Queeneny. SURPRISE PARTY. Assisted by Miss Dorothy O'Dell, the "Jollet" social club was responsible for an agreeable surprise party, with Miss Thelma Ida Mae Chiles as their victim. The beautiful home of Mrs. John M. Wright, 622 Western avenue, was the scene of what proved one of the season's most fashionable events among the younger social set. A novel ruse was put into execution, which threw the ever watchful Miss off her guard, and the "surprise" proved to be one of the real, sure enough kind. Miss Thelma made her usual Thursday evening visit to the Apex, and at the close of the show, it was suggested that they run by and see Mrs. Wright a few minutes, for which Miss Thelma again readily "fell." At the Wright home the club and a number of friends had assembled, and were in waiting for the guest of honor, who was more than surprised to walk in upon such a gathering of her friends. The home was appropriately decorated and the lawn brilliantly illuminated with Japanese lanterns. Whist and dancing furnished amusement for the evening. A prize was offered which was awarded to Mr. Bishop Bingham and Miss Kathin, Newman, and in an appropriate little speech, it was presented to Miss Chiles, who in turn thanked them in language very fitting and appropiate.

Elsewhere in this paper will be found an advertisement telling of the announcement of ex-Governor Stubbs for United States Senator, subject to the Republican primaries in August Governor Stubbs many friends are making a strong effort to nominate him. He made Kansas a splendid governor and is one of the state's most citizens. The district grand master, Col R D Jefferson, of the Oklahoma jurisdiction, reports that the Odd Peltow's grand lodge of that state is the host in the country and that he is having all he can do travelling in the interest of the Order and setting up new lodges and looking after the business. He reports everything moving along nicely. We are in receipt of a card from Miss Pranche Beck, one of the leading orators among women. She was en route to California.

Shreveport, La Farmers will all admit that with only eight farmers in the National House and three in the United States Senate, they are not fairly represented in Congress or upon the various War Boards and Commissions, and that for that reason their interests have not received proper consideration. We, the undersigned farmers and stockmen, are for W. R. STUBBS for the Republican nomination for United States Senator, BECAUSE He is one of the most extensive farmers and live stock producers in the Middle West; He is cultivating over 2,000 acres of crops of various kinds and is producing several thousand cattle and more than a thousand hogs for the market annually; He knows what it costs to produce crops, cattle and hogs for the market, and has a live personal interest in common with our own; He is a member of the Executive Committee of the National Live Stock Association, a member of the National Shippers' League, and was last year the President of the Kansas State Live Stock Association; He has done more than any other man in Kansas to secure equitable freight rates by reason of his years of experience in actually building railroads, and he has long been regarded by the Interstate Commerce Commission as a rate expert because of his knowledge of their cost of construction and operation; He is right on the War. He is the one candidate who dared to advocate "Preparedness" from the day the European War started, and his utterances before and since the United States became involved are consistent with the red blooded American speeches he is delivering now; He has not only "talked" woman's suffrage since it became a reality, but he voted for it while a member of the House and while Governor signed the resolution which gave to Kansas women the right of the ballot; GEORGE W.

WARNING TO THE RACE If you would command the respect of both white and colored people, you must conduct yourself in a respectful manner. Do not go to and from your work with dirty and rugged wearing apparel. Wash up and dress up whenever you have to go in public, and you will soon find that people will not be afraid to sit in the same seat with you on street cars and other public carriers. Loud and boisterous language in public only causes your hearers to look upon you with disgust. If you do not want white people to call you "nigger," you must stop using the word yourself. It is your duty to try and make friends with every white person worth while. It will do you no harm, and it will come as a blessing some day.
