The Topeka Plaindealer Twentieth Year. No. 28. SUPREME COURT LETS KILLER KEEP HIS GUN General Brewster Seeks Justice for the Race—Cop'Who Killed Negro Freed Without Cause. The colored Republican voters of Kansas ought to remember when they come to cast their votes for the Republican candidate for Governor the 6th of next month that Attorney General Brewster has always been and is right now their friend. The latest and most pronounced exemplification of his friendship is his action with regard to the Galloway case, which has just been decided by the supreme court adversely to his contention. And, he it remembered, General Brewster brought this suit in the supreme court in an effort, as he saw it, to secure justice to the coloured race a whole in spite of the fact that he is a candidate for office before the Republican primaries. This fact surely demon tates his unanchoring devotion to the play without fear of consequence to his own individual fortunes politically. A few weeks ago police officer Gale loway, of Wichita, tailed a certain house in that city. He shot and killed one of the patrols at the house at the time. The police officer tended that he she in self defense but just the same he was arrested shortly following to murder uno is out on bond pending a future hearing. Friends of the dead man assoc't it he was shot in the back, th. he was unarmed and that action. In this police officer contends he instructed as efforts to draw a weapon which might have been used in an attack upon him was only effort upon the part of the dead man to throw away from him two flasks of whisky which he did not want the officer to find in his possession This explanation did not satisfy General Brewster. He could not understand how it was possible for an officer to construe any action upon the part of the dead man as an evidence of an attack and be justified in the claim that he was acting in self defense when it was found that the dead man had been shot in the back—a pretty certain indication that he was running from the house and the officers when he met his death. In view of this conclusion General Brewer asked the suspension of the white officer pending his trial upon the charge laid against him in the criminal courts of Wichita. The city commission refused to accede to his request and continued the officer in the service and in active duty despite the request and the urgent demand of the colored citizens of Wichita that he be removed from the force until, at least, he was able to acquit himself of the charge laid against him in a court of competent trialadiction. The poor fellow that was killed had no doubt violated law. He should have been punished in the regular way for his transgression of law; but his crime was not punishable by death—not by a good deal. Yet he met it, and because he did the righteous voice of indignation arose from the good colored citizenship of Wichita. Not in support of the man on account of his crime but because the penalty upon a human being had been so severe. They asked a searching investigation and only what was fair—that the accused officer be suspended pending the outcome of it. Their pleas were in vain. They scarcely had a hearing—they were refused their request apparently because the man that was killed had committed a crime: was poor, down-trodden and a colored man without wealth and political power sufficient upon the part of his friends to force a fair deal. General Brewster believed as did the best colored citizen of Wichita that a dreadful wrong had been done. That the officer guilty of the mistake should stand aside to be judged by a court before continuing his duties that might lead him directly into another indiscretion like this. That he was either unsafe as an officer or wantonly careless in the use of fire arms because he was an officer, and after the city commission had refused to suspend the officer General Brewster applied to the supreme court to oust him. The supreme court, last Saturday handed down a decision refusing the request of the attorney general of Kansas. How and for why this paper does not know. Nor does it desire to ever criticize a court for its decision unless it believes honestly that that decision was not warranted by the fact disclosed at the hearing. Only fairness to all parties concerned could warrant anything else than a suspension of this white officer until he had been freed of a criminal charge. Such redress was denied the colored citizenship of Wichita. It is the guess of this paper that General Brustetter, who has already proven himself a true friend of the colored race in Kansas, is not yet done. He is a born fighter for decency, right and justice. He will keep on and it is our guess that he will gain a victory in the long run Mr. Madison, Albany New York, Was Royally Entertained. One of the finest banquets ever witnessed in Topeka was served at the Cason Dora, beautiful suburban home of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Washington, south of the city, in honor of Mr. R. M Madison, of Albany, New York, who is steward of the business cars of the Deleware and Hudson Railway company, one of the largest railroads in the United States. Mr Madison, wife and daughter are the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Washington for the next thirty days or more. Mr Madison is in the West recoupling after an arduous task of planning and directing the building of a private official car for one of the officials of the road which cost over $65,000 and the plan for its building originated in the brain of Mr. Madison, he being asked to us his own judgment in constructing what he thought would be an improvement or other private cars. This he did not after the car was completed the railroad company so admired the architectural beauty of it that they requested Mr Madison to take vacation. He is a real leader and love of his race and the guests set for over two hours listening to his interesting conversation, reviewing events of his life's work in public service. Mr Madison is the trusted car or one officials and to him the authorities is given by the high officials to send thousands of dollars in the equipment for private air supply them with what air is necessary. Mr Madison has an office in Albany, his home, as well as in New York City. He has accrued in breaking strikes in hotels and placed cooks, waiters and bell boys in the place of white colons and all have proven satisfactory. He says this war has made great improvements in the colored man's chances in the East that in places where in past years, not one colored man was allowed to work now there are hundreds working and holding responsible positions. In the city of Albany Mr. Madison says, you will find colored girls holding positions as stenographers and bookkeepers at salaries ranging as high as $1700 a year. At the capitol at New York, he says there are fifty-six colored janitors and the head man has charge of the entire building. (We wish we could say as much for Kansas.) From what he says, a position like John Hayes holds here at the Santa Fe would be held by a colored man in the East. Mr. Madison, not like the average colored man when promoted to a position of trust, invariably goes against his race, fearing that if he attempted to do something to help them it would jeopardize his position but Mr. Madison is an exceptional colored man and when the request was made to him to discharge colored men who held jobs with the corporation and when he found that they were actually needed in the service and that it was the best policy to hold them, he presented an argument so that in several instances it was shown that white men should be discharged as they were the ones who were on the expensive side and the colored men were doing the work. When the company was in need of track men he asked for proper authority to secure them, and went to New Orleans where he obtained 500 colored men for the road and he says that every man stuck to the job and all are making good. We say without hesitancy that he is in a class to himself and if we had one dozen men like him in this country in ten years we would double and threeble our present status. Mr. Madison is a man who is unselfish and unblessed. The following guests enjoyed the fine five-course dinner: Judge W. I. Jamison, Attorne; Ellisa Scott, Dr. T. P. Martin, Dr. J. L. Ransom, Dr. M. L. Ross, Prof. John L. Harrison, Prof. Fred Roundtree and Nick Chiles. The menu consisted of fruit cocktail, spring chicken, mashed potatoes, creamed peas, apple jelly, home-made bread and butter, tomato salad, long branch crankers, brick ice cream, chocolate and white cake, black coffee and cigars. The table was beautifully decorated in Japanese style and adorned with a lovely basket of carnations any gypy-cellas. Mr. and Mrs. Washington have one of the finest and most beautiful modern bungalows in the state. It is situated on twelve acres of land, richly furnished throughout. They have the finest crop of corn in the to meet such distinguished per-county and hogs, and chickens by the hundreds. They are among Topka's foremost citizens. Mr. Washington has been employed by two Sants Fe for a number of years in private car service and Mrs. Washington is one of the city's leading ladies, having served as the first president of the State Federation of Colored Women's clubs which organization she has made a success, also a great church worker and a member of the Red Cross. The guests were highly elated over the feast, and the opportunity to meet such a distinguished persons as Mr. R M Hudson and fently. BEN R. TILLMAN, THE BLACKGUARD Colored America Shed no Tears for the Heartless Reprobate, The American people have shed no tears over the passing out of this good old world of Senator Ben R. Tillman, who was not only obnoxious to the colored people but to the white people as well. Ministers commonly use the expression in funeral services that the Lord has called his own to a high reward but from the life of this monastrosity we think the devil issued the call, because Tillman was certainly a true representative of the devil and his angels. The pitchfork for which he was named, was handed to him by His Satanic Majesty, the moment he arrived in the lowest region of that place called hell and we lashed as we saw Old Den now serving as a right in a new change of the devil and no doubt that he will be given the position of looking over such demons a Vandeman, Williams and Dixon, who are Negro haters and who have stood in the halls of Congress and denounced the colored race from every angle and also those who predeceased him, of the Jeff Davis stripe who preceded from the Union in order to keep the colored man in slavery. We know there was great joying when Tillman arrived and when the pitchfork, was placed in his hands with orders to turn these demons over. It. Tillman was elected to office by what was termed a very prominent thing to do at that time—denouncing the colored people, and because he held that the race had no rights that a white man was bound to respect, and he went over the United States preaching this doctrine until he poisoned the minds of many white men of the North, East and West and from that time on it was almost impossible for a colored person to walk with comfort upon the streets or seek honest employment from the time Tillman was elected until he was stricken down as a result of the prayers of the colored people and the Christian white people. It was through Tillman and his class that all the laws of segregation were passed and that lynchings, burning and otherwise outruging the colored man was upheld; in fact every devilish, contemptible evil that has been heaped upon the colored race was heaped upon this monstrosity who was just recently called from earth to hell. He was no doubt made to see the error of his ways and the many crimes he caused to be committed upon defenseless colored people and as he lay stricken, no doubt but that he saw the faces of the many Christian, honest colored people whom he had sent to eternity, also the hundreds of ex-slaves he had plundered on his plantation in South Carolina and the many offsprings of his slaves whom he had reduced and outraged, who had died and gone on before him and were looking down upon his sinful soul which was now paying for the sins he had committed and like Dines who looked up and called for Lazarus, he too cried for mercy at their hands but as he had worked for the devil all of his life, when the proper time came, he was escorted to that infernal region where all Negro hating white people will eventually abide for no white man or woman can enter the kingdom of Heaven who treasures malice and hatred against any human being because of color or condition. A Hypocrite and Dishonest. To Prove that Tillman was a hypocrite and a deceiver and that his actions were to enrich himself and rob the public, when he came into public life he found there were thousands of acres of land lying idle and he sought to get possession of it. We quote from a statement of a charge that he had an agent whom he requested to secure nine quarter sections of land in Oregon for himself, his secretary and his relatives. This is an evident fact that he was a crook. We do not know of a colored man who would have done such a thing for in the 70's we had black men representing South Carolina and none were ever charged with attempting to rob the Government; and yet Tillman was elected to redeem South Carolina from carpet baggers and Negroes whom it was claimed were unfit to represent the state. Had it not been because of the fact that he was a Senator and the manner in which the matter was handled, he would have been prosecuted. The following is an excerpt from The Current Literature, June, 1909 which portrays Tillman's dishonest method: Caught With the Goods. About a year ago (February, 19, 1908), Senator Tillman on the floor of the Senate called attention to a circular letter issued by a land agent in the West by the name of Dorr, who was acting with a firm, (Reeder & Watkins) engaged in land operations in Oregon. The circular, in selling subscribers, to join a land indicate, made this statement "So sure is Senator Tillman of our success that he has subscribed and paid the necessary fees for a quar- ter section for himself and ten other --- quarter sections for ten of his nearest relatives." The Senator denounced the writer of this circular as a swindler who had no warrant whatever for endeavoring to invade others into his game. The Senator said also: "I have not bought any hands anywhere in the West nor undertaken to buy any." He called for an investigation by the postoffice department, and it was in response to this request that the investigation was undertaken. The report of the postoffice inspectors was laid before the President for the first time, December 18, 1908 (according to the statement of the postmaster-general). It included copies of letters from Senator Tillman and his agent to the land company in question. The original letters or photographs were wired for at once and reached the President January 4, only one before the letter to Senator Hinkle, to insulting the documents was written. When Senator Tillman rose in the Senate and said he "had not bought any land anywhere in the West, nor犹豫ed to buy any," he had already been in correspondence with P. Herr & Vatkins and had asked them to reserve eight or nine quarter sections for him, his family, and his private secretary. His statement to the Senate was made Feb. 19, 1908. Four months before, O. 20, 1907, he had written a letter confirming a telegram asking for the "ninequaters," and saying that his agent William H. Lee, would se the firm and select the quarter. On December 7 following, Mr. Lee wrote to the firm as follows: "In case Senator Tillman gets in on this deal with some good land in the eight quarters we want, I am satisfied that he can be of great help in getting matters started from Washington, and cause the Government to get busy and do something along the line you desire. He will set up such a bowl that it will be impossible to do otherwise. This will be very important for your whole scheme to have a man of his influence here to aid you at this end of the line. By all means save a lot of good land for us, as we intend to be of more value than anyone of the others in the matter." On January 31, the Senator introduced a resolution pertaining to this matter in the Senate. The lands in question had been originally granted to railroad corporations on terms that required them to sell to actual settlers (so Reed & Watkins were claiming) at $2.50 an acre. The firm's scheme was to compel this sale to be made. . . He came near being expelled and would have been expelled from the Senate for his disgraceful clash with his colleague from South Carolina and if the necessary two-thirds vote had been secured, he would long since have been in oblivion, but the Democratic majority was so great that he was only given a severe reprem The following is a paragraph from The Independent, March 6, 1902 which shows that he was a disgrace to the Senate; Tillman's Presence a Disgrace. "Formal censure by resolution does not penetrate the hide of a course boor like Tillman. It merely suggests to him a fresh outbreak of insolence. Of course the members of the Senate had proof in his remarks when the vote was taken, which was to the effect that if they had been gentlemen they would have regarded his apology as sufficient. That should have caused a consideration of the vote, and the expulsion of the fellow by unanimous consent. His insults to the President, both in the matter of the dinner invitation and in the action suggested by him to his nephew, who now holds a State office in South Carolina, are additional evidence that the Senate ought to have got rid of him. "By its failure to expell Tillman the Senate has exposed itself to and even invited additional exhibitions of insolence and disorder. It will hear from him again, and its unwise lenency has already encouraged Wellington, of Maryland, to imitate his course. How can it hope to protect its dignity. If it shall decline to give its Tillmans the punishment they deserve. We shall not question the sincerity of the Democratic minority of the committee in opposing suspension upon Constitutional grounds; but there was no decent excuse for their contention that McLaurin's offense was as great as Tillman's and they should have voted in committee for a resolution to put Tillman out of the Senate. If the majority weakly failed, to test the Senate on a resolution for expulsion, the Democrats in and out of the committee deserve public conscience for declining to give such a resolution their support, without which the needed two-thirds could not be obtained for the removal of the man whose presence and utterances in the Senate have been a continuous dis grace to it and to the State of South Carolina." The editor of this paper had an interview with Senator Tillman on the color question in Kansas City when the Democratic national convention met there in 1900 and we here reproduce the same as taken from the files of The Plaindealer, July 13, 1900: Tillman Interviewed by Plaindealer Man July 6, 1900. We had the pleasure of interviewing the half-witted, sarcastic demon, and put these questions to him: "Senator, you have been reported as saying that the Negro is inferior to the white man, is this true?" "I have no time to discuss niggers! I am too busy looking after the business of the white folks," was his reply. To a delegate he said: "Give me some good whiskey." "Senator, here's some old Kentucky" "Give me a glass." The Plaindealer man stood looking on in wonder. "Yes boys, the niggers can't expect much attention when the white folks are to be looked after I want some sugar in this whiskey." Glads the bottle in one hand, glass in the other, goes to a door and knocks "Lady, will you give me some sugar to go in my whiskey." "Certainly, Mr." Sugar forth- coming "All tight, this will fix it." "Say buss that's pretty good" "Senator, there is a Negro Democ- ratic league in session today, if an invitation was extended you to add them would you accept?" "Didn't I tell you, man that I had no time to bother with niggers and that I was up till four this morning fiving up a platform for the white folks!" Well, Senator don't your patty need the Negro Democrats? "No, we don't need the nigger for nothing but to hoe the cotton, plow the corn and gather them for the white man." "How does the Jim Crow (a low work, Senator?" "A delegate interrupts "All the duties like it!" A second one sahil: "I have talked with several and none ever told me so." * A chorus from five or more: "We have heard lots say they like it" * Senator breaks in: "The niggers have one whole coach to themselves, and that is all they need." * "Senator, as the Negro progresses in wealth and education you will, of course, accord to him more liberty?" * A delegate: "No, Sah, he has all the rights he needs." * "Would you accord him the right to hold office under the circumstance just mentioned?" * "No, Sah! The Negro never can hold office in South Carolina. There is not enough for the white folks." * "A hundred years from today would make some difference, would it not?" * "I would rise from my grave and stop it," said one of the delegates! This interview alone shows that Tillman was a foul mouthed beast, unfit for the association of respectable people. The life and death of Ben Tillman should be a warning to that class of white people who will follow in his footsteps. It was the Lord's will that Tillman should suffer the tortures of the damned during his last days and he certainly died an ignomious death which should be a lesson to all others of his kind BUST THE STATE HOUSE INSURANCE DYNASTY. Hon. Chas. W. Dingman Seeks Republican Nomination for Superintendent of Insurance. Hon. Charles W. Dingman, of Clay Center, candidate for state superintendent of insurance on the Republican ticket, called at The Plaindealer one day this week and says that he is in the race to win and he has the assurance of the many farmers, stock growers and several insurance agents that there ought to be a change in the state house insurance dynasty. Mr. Dingman has had fifteen years of actual insurance experience, and is well known all over Kansas as the breeder of Holstein cattle. He has lived in Kansas for twenty-five years and has been a resident of Clay Center for fourteen years. He has earned all he has by hard work and treating every man fair. Following in what the Marshall County News has to say of Mr. Dingman: "If a Kansas governor should seek to establish a dynasty in the state house at Toppeka, the voters would rise up and swat it hip and thigh. No executive has ever attempted to dictate his successor by incubating and hatching out in his office the candidate who is to succeed him. The voters of Kansas wouldn't stand for it a minute. "And yet you have stood for this very thing in the Kansas insurance department for sixteen years. Why should a superintendent of insurance be permitted to dictate his successor? Why should the people permit this dynasty? They try out against the extortionate rates of the insurance trust and wonder why they are not curbed. The reason is plain, and here it is: Sixteen years ago the insurance Price $1.50 Per Year dynasty was installed in the state house at Topeka. Charles H. Luling named Charles W. Barnes as his assistant, who, at the end of Luling's four years, succeeded to the head of the department. Then Barnes, at the close of his four years, carried out the plan of the insurance dynasty and showed like Lewis, his assistant, up to the top. Lewis being a beneficiary of the dynasty, dictated his successor, Carey J. Wilson, who had incubated and hatched through the "assistant" route. And now as Wilson is finishing up his second term he has picked his successor, naming W. J. Bryden, who has been a clerk in the insurance department ten or a dozen years. Can this record for the perpetuation of a job-holding dynasty be beaten in any other state in the Union? Can it? We leave it to you, Mr. Voter. It's high time to bust up this dynasty and take a look at the books in the Kansas insurance department. Every business man, every farmer and every home-owner who has paid tribute to the greed of the inaur- JOHN H. Republican Candidate for Superintendent of Insurance, nce trust would be glad, certainly, to see the books opened and an account made of the work of the dynasty. This can't be done by perpetuating the dynasty. You've got to bust it. The nomination and election of Chast W. Dingman of Clay Center, as superintendent of insurance, will be a guarantee that the books will be opened and all cards spread face-up on the table. Mr. Dingman has promised to administer that department in the interest of the people, and his word is as good as the bond of any man in Kansas. "Dust the state house insurance dynasty" is a good slogan." PETE FOLEY OUT FOR MAYOR OF PARSONS Veteran Publisher Has Been Drafted by Friends to Make the Race. The people of Parsons are being called to nominate a candidate for mayor to be voted for at the primaries in August. The election will take place in November. Mr. Pete Foley, editor of the Daily Republican and owner of one of the largest publishing houses in the state, has been drafted by his many friends to make the race. He is one of the leading Republicans and substantial citizens of Kansas and one of Parsons' strongest and most influential business men. He says the people of Parsons have played around so long that they have fooled themselves with regard to the choice of a mayor and that it has become so now that the town is almost forgotten so far as the business world is concerned. Parsons is in need of many improvements, in fact she wants to get out of the rut where she has been forced to be for the last few years being placed there by men who were not enterprising. While Mr. Foley is a very busy man and has actually not the time to be in politics but he has consented, so as to make Parsons a better city in which to live. What the laboring and business men want is a good, clean, safe city. At Parsons is located the general offices and shops of the M. K. & T. railroad which employs thousands of people; and it is the desire of the best citizens to get rid of all illers, loafers, etc., so that decent people can walk the streets at night with the assurance that their lives are safe. There have been so many crimes committed in Parsons during the last few years that the citizens have become discouraged but knowing Mr. Foley as they do, as being a man who has the courage and conviction to do as he says, they have called upon him to be their standard bearer.

GENERAL HUFFMAN, CANDIDATE FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR General Huffman who is doing such great wrok in Kansas for the people and the soldiers and preparing them to go over seas to dethrone the kaiser, is a candidate for lieutenant governor, and naks that his friends see that he gets the proper support at the ballot box on August 6th. As he is so busy in the war work service he will not have time to visit or solicit votes for the office, so it is the duty of the republicans, male and female to see to it that he is nominated without the least friction. His vote ought to be almost unanimous. We cannot recall his opponent at this time but know the people are too loyal and patriotic to let the interest of General Huffman lag, knowing that he has worked for the interest of the people of Kansas and the United States as well. BRISTOW YOUR FRIEND BRISTOW YOUR FRIEND RISKED LIFE TO SAVE A COLORED MAN FROM A MOB. Of the candidates for office in Kansas this year there is one, at least, whose record clearly indicates his stand toward the colored race. He is Joseph L. Bristow. He has stood for fair treatment and justice to the negro throughout his public service, covering a period of twenty-five years. Twenty years ago at Salina, his home town, a mob was in the act of hanging a colored man who had been falsely accused of crime. Bristow believed the man innocent, so he went into the mob, took out his pocket knife, and cut the rope that had already been adjusted about the unfortunate negro's neck. Then Bristow fought the mob until the negro had a chance to escape. That was but an incident. But it showed that he had courage and a sense of justice that made him willing to stake even his life for the defense of right. He is making a fight now and has been for the past year—one that has required more courage and endurance than facing a mob. It is a fight for the rights of the common man, regardless of color—for the laborer, the farmer, the small merchant, and the toiler everywhere. He is fighting the prosteher and the organization of price A. H. boosters who are every day making life more burdensome for the masses by increasing the cost of the necessities of life in order to reap huge profits. When a man who has the mental and moral equipment to fight effectively, and who has a reputation for getting results, turns his attention to those who are robbing the people and plundering the public, treasury, he makes enemies. Brustow has none that. He has made enemies, and they are powerful ones. They have tried to take his reputation from him. They have cried that he was disloyal, said he ought to be in fall, and tried to take from him the right of free speech. But they have not stopped him. Singlehanded and alone he has fought them for n year or more. He is winning his fight. He would not be denied the right of telling the truth to the people of Kansas. It was on May 29, 1917, that Brestow wrote the editorial for his paper, The Salma Journal, that brought down on him the wrath of the plumdrivers of the public. He was in Washington, and he wrote as one with prophetic vision of the dangers that were besetting our nation. "Never, except at inauguration times," he wrote, "have the hotels of Washington been so jammed as now. * Cupidity and greed, glouting amputees for palliance and plunder, van de re for pump and gold-faced parade, unrestrained conviviality, which arouses the latent passion for rapine and destruction, are here. Behind it all, in the dimly concealed background are the giant financial and industrial organizations that are to make billions out of the war." That and similar statements brought down upon him a shower of denunciation from those who hoped to have a share in plundering the government. Bristow was then the chairman of the Kansas Public Utilities Commission, and the demand was made that he be ousted from office. As months passed, events proved that, all he said, was true. Government reports of the profit off the mackers, the millers, and dealers in pod products have demonstrated that "if the government officials then in lower had shown the mortgage Bristow displayed," and had "cleaned house," the public would have been saved hundreds of millions of dollars that have gone into the pockets of grafters, and which will be sorely needed before the war is over. Bristow is for winning the war, and he is making the Bristow's patriotic for an honest government, an efficient war department, and a properly equipped army. After Bristow had carried on the fight for months, others of last voyage began to denounce the prosecution, but none of them have pointed out a way to get rid of him. Bristow has he has done it in a speech he has delivered in a number of Kansas towns. Speaking to a crowd of several hundred at Coffeeville last week, he said: "Now, my friends, I do not believe that anybody should make money out of this war. The sacrifices which the American people have to make are too great to be made a matter of merchandise and profit by any man or set of men. "But some people are making money out of this war—large quantities of it. I am going to tell you who some of them are, how much they are making, and how I think it ought to be stopped. "I have had compiled the net profits of certain great industrial concerns for a period of five years before the war and for the years 1916 and 1917, I have taken the years 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914, and 1915, and averaged them, and put the result in one column, the net profits for the year 1916 in another, and 1917 in another." "I am going to give you some of the figures. These figures are taken from the monthly, quarterly, and annual reports of the concerns whose names I will mention. They may be found in Moody's Industrials, a standard authority on industrial corporations. "Take the Armour Packing Company. You all know what its business. Its average net profits for the five years referred to were, in round numbers, $6,559,000 per annum; for 1916, $20,100,000, and for 1917, $30,628,000." A Scalp Specialist.

This company's average net profits for the five years before the war were $4,436,000 per annum: for 1916, $20,465,000 and for 1917, $34,650,000. These packers have increased their profit margins by marketing all taxes and excess profits taxes by from 200 to 500 per cent since the war began, and they have done it by charging the American' people excessive prices for the items they eat. Take the Brown Shoe Company of St.-Louis. I take the Brown Shoe Company as an illustration. I have examined the records of a number of others, and they all show about the same. The average profits of the Brown Shoe Company for three years before the war-on account of a change in the corporate management I could not get the figures for five years—were $42,000 per annum; for 1916, $1,467,000; for 1917, $2,414,000 net after paying all war taxes and expenses. The Brown Shoe Company has increased its net profits by more than 500 per cent since the war began and it has done it by charging the American people excessive prices for the shoes they wear. "Take the Cuban-American Sugar Company, the producing company of the trust, the American Sugar Refining Company. It produces a very large part of the sugar the American people consume. Its average net profits for the five years referred to were $1,905,000 per annum; for 1916, $235,113; for 1917, $10,821,000. The Cuban-American Sugar Company, after paying all war taxes and increased expenses has increased its net profits more than 500 per cent, and it did it by charging the American people excessive prices for the sugar they used. "Now, my friends, I do not believe that great industrial corporations should be permitted to extort money from the American people for the necessities of life while the nation is struggling in the crisis it is in.

"I would stop it in this way, would permit these corporations to earn, as the legitimate fruits of industry, the excessive profits they earn of normal peaceful times, as great they were, and then require them to turn into the treasury of the United States the excessive war profits. I would assess a tax of 100 per cent or the profits in excess of those of normal peaceful times. "If you assess a tax of 100 per cent an excessive war profits, it will have one of two effects. Either it will turn into the treasury of the nation billions of dollars to help the people bear the burdens of the war; or it will keep prices down approximately to those of normal times, because if these great industrial concerns cannot keep the excessive war profits, they will have to interest in increasing prices beyond what the necessary increased cost of production requires. "In any event the burdens of the people would be lightened, and I do not believe any suggested legislation has been more in the interests of legitimate business and the welfare of he country. "Not only is one consuming public suffering now, but the small business in the small community is being rushed by the rapid advance in the prices of commodities, and something will have to be done."—(Adut.)

Our soldiers are being treated kindly in France and we hear nothing but words of praise from them. They are now in line of battle and are doing yeoman service. Everything is flattering, and while we are losing a few the boys are courageous and are covering themselves with glory. Two of our boys are capturing forty Germans and have been awarded with a French war cross, and so it can be said that we are doing our part in this war.

Judging from our observation and different interviews we have had with voters in the different towns and districts to which we have gone, it seems to be a land slide for Mr. Guyer. The people say that he is the man the Republican party HON. U. [Image of a man with a serious expression, wearing a suit and tie.] HON. U. S.
