The Kansas Defense Sucity $3 an organization instituted for the pur. pose of testing the constitutional rights of the rece alung civil, polit’. cal and other ines that) may be neccessary to bring abuut justine ard sentiment in behalf of the race in this country, This organization was formed because of the conviction and legal lynching of the thirteen soldiers of the 24th Infantry at Fort Sam Houston, Texas, last December, 117, for participating in a not at Houston, Texas, in August of the same year, It wall be remembered that these soldiers were acting in self defense from the fact that they had been mis- treated and assaulted by the police of Houston and it had been reported to them that a mob of white men had threatened to swoop down upon their camp and drive them out. Acting on this information the soldiers prepared themselves, and receiving orders from non-commisioned officers that the mob was decending upon them, they began to fire and at the same tume marching upon the town, which action resulted in the death of sever- al persons. ‘hey were taken to Fort Sam Houston, disarmed, and through the pohey of Texas officers investigation was started, and some weak minded soldiers from the South who had been in the service only a few months were induced to turn state's evidence on a [eae of immunity | From what we have read of the trial it seems that this was a kangaroo court and the mon were pever furiy tried, ~ >, Thtre have been three court mur- thals, Sixty-three soldiers were tned in the first, which resulted in the hanging of thirteen without their Cases ever bung reviewed by Prest- dent Wilson. Forty others were sent to the Federal prison for life, and the remaining ten were disposed of m sarious ways, Three ov four were sent to military prison and a few were given jul sentences, A second court martial resulted in the conviction of sixtcen, which Keatencet President Wilson has just approved, This makes a total of mncteen brave colorcd boys to be executed for pare tnipation in the Houston rots, The evideme shows that this riot at Houston occurred in the nicht when it was ay dark ond it was impossible to tell who were taking port.

Mr. Nick Chiles, Topcha, Kan. Dear Sir:—I am the representative elect and a republican from this legislative district, and while I am not acquainted with you, I take the liberty to write you on a matter of the utmost importance to you and the people of Kansas in general. You have considerable influence with the colored people of this state, and I compliment you on being a man with brains. As you know, there is going to be a bill introduced in the coming legislature to separate the blacks and whites in school in cities of the second class. There is a strong move on foot in the matte, and it is pretty sure to pass Hon O W. Sparks of this city was elected to the state Senate from this district, and he will be for it first and last. Now the big controversy seems to be in this city, and you know as well as I do that if you get the legislature once started, it is liable to pass a "Jim Crow" law, and I would hate to see that done. I believe I see the handwriting on the wall, and I suggest that you get busy and notify the colored people here that you are coming down to talk to them on important business, and come down within the next ten days and have a meeting with them and see if so a kind of Vim and Vigor Hirna velay Jusun jusun Bumu imuk vim imuk gak wa rpmutu VIGOR HAIR PROMOTER We Invite You New Loc 170 Wabash To buy your Groceries, We Guarantee absolute Satisfaction parts of the City C.

I would not let them know what your business was until you arrived and assembled them together, as it will retard the attendance. I fear were they to know your mission before you get here. The people here are bent on a separation, and they have not been able in the matter. I simply warn you as a friend, and trust you will consider this letter in such light. There is no use to turn a deaf ear or to get bull headed, because that never gets a man anywhere. Reason will accomplish more than force. If you can succeed in getting the colored people to some kind of an agreement down here, in my opinion, it will be the best thing you ever done for humanity's sake. You have got to meet the issue squarely in the face, and there is no use to try to dodge the matter. The bill has been drawn, and unless the people are satisfied down here it will be introduced early in the session. They are bringing too much pressure to bear in the matter for me simply to sit still and not give you a chance to get in the clear. Anything I can do for you in the matter I will be glad to render. I am writing Rev. Ransom likewise, and if you come down here, be sure and call on me early.

I am, Very truly yours, OSCAR M. YOUNT, Attorney and Rep. 23d Dist. Reply to Mr. Yaunt December 14, 1918. Mr. Oscar M. Yount, Atty, Representative 23d District, Galenn, Kan. My dear sir, Yount; Your letter of the 11th inst. received, and in reply will say after reading it carefully and then noting your position as an attorney-at-law and recently elected from the 23d Republican District to the next legislature, which convenes in 1919, I became confused, for I did not think Kansas had within her confines an attorney who attended the schools of Kansas and was taught to love and respect the rights of others, so foolish or so simple as to write or attempt to defend segregated law within this state. My advice to you is that you resign your office at once, for two letter shows that you are incompetent and not capable of representing the suit it of Kansas nor are up with what the United States did in the last two years which ended great conflict there were colored sol- who could sue me in with their white brothers that all faces should have an abiding place where all should be free. There are hundreds of instances during this war when troops on hand captured hundreds of Germans and, even to sign, telling that in so doing there would be no repiles like yourself left in these United States to oppose them in enjoying all the rights and freedom for which they fought and the people they fought against.. You are perfectly willing to come here to legislate that the Ilum and his family might attend the public schools along with the Merican, Italian, Chinaman, Indian, and all other nationalities except the colored American who gave his life in "No Man's Land"—Somewhere in France. If you have studied history, you trust know that this colored American has helped to make this country and is entitled to all the rights and benefits that you or your kind enjoy. From the tone of your letter, you are coming here to the legislature to enact some law against the colored people attending the public schools and other public places for which they are taxed to maintain, and the colored people are subject to the same laws that govern you, yet you want separate schools for them, in fact, I suppose you would be in favor of separate cars separate dining rooms, and separate stores; but there is one place of you keep up your status there will be no separation there, and that is where we have good reason to be love. By billim rows, and you are admitting his doctrine. There will be no segregation there, but we have an idea that when you are the first thing you will wish to do will be to put such hands into a foot We cannot see how the people of that district affected you to the extent you yourself, or you make no difference to it. I have it the urban was a prison in my town, therefore you had no space and therefore to do the people. And they he did you would never have any relation. Karma is laws of brain and energy are busy in malaice and usually the state of no expression to the relation of an expression to them lives, but they suffer and come that they may help enact laws for the benefit of all the people, irrespective of races. I wish you would get in touch with men as Congressman Phil Campbell, who is now in Washington, and ask him what he thinks of you offering such a measure as you say you are planning, and he will be ashamed. of you. You might write any United States senator or representative from Kansas, and they would all be of the opinion that you were a fit subject for the mad house. Now let me say to you, Mr. Stranger, I do not believe that you were born and reared in Kansas, but you must be an interloper, and the only way you think that you can get before the public is to start something on the defenseless colored American. Such an issue as you intend to work on is worn out stuff, because the better class of white people over the country have awakened to their sense of duty and are now talking on all sides, except in the South where you belong, that the colored man must have his rights, and that he is entitled to all the privileges granted any other citizen, for by his acts in the war just ended he has proven his devotion to the American Flag, and as a fighter on the battlefield he had no superior. All black laws that have been enacted and appear on the statute books of any state are unconstitutional and have only been upheld because the white men sitting in judgment were duty bound to declare them right to please a certain class like yourself. The judges of the courts have now become aroused to a conscientiousness of uprightness and Christianity and have begun to see the error of their decisions and will decide that all laws enacted against colored Americans are class legislation and unconstitutional. Allow me to say further, Mr. Big Representative of the 23d District and Attorney-at Law of Galena, Kansas, that Governor Allen, Lieut. Governor Huffman, and the members of the Senate and House of Representatives are against any such measure as you plan to make a bill in the next legislature segregating the public schools in this state, and they are also against the laws that are already on the statute Looks. The Governor has just returned from France, where he saw the colored soldier under fire and has written several articles concerning their department in France. Governor Allen says they were received in the public places on equality with the white man and that he has proud to know that they were received so cordially by the Iread, so you need not expect him to sign such a bill. As a rule that class of white man that introduce segregated laws and Jim Crow measures are themselves relatives of colored people, and they think it is a cute trick to do such a thing, for they feel it is a disgrace to have colored blood in their veins, yet two thirds of the colored people of this country are mixed with white blood, and we have no doubt that if you would search your family record you would find that you have a mixture of colored blood. It is the southern white man who passes these laws, and it is he who so thoroughly mixed the two races, and he is now trying to get away from the hindred. We believe if you would study the situation thoroughly, you will change your views and decide not to offer this bill. The Kansas Defense Society, of which I am president, and which represents the progressive colored people of Kansas, has always and will no overt such measures as you speak of. You bet we have considerable influence with the colored people no doubt of Kansas, but of the entire U.S. and they have the utmost confidence in the editor of The Topical Plaindale standing up for their rights. There is nothing that you could do or say that would away us from our duty of doing the right thing by our late Consult your brother, O.W. Sparks, and he can tell you what slodding he had trying to proclaim and I hope you will reconsider and not come here to the legislature and make of yourself what Christ rode into Jerusalem.
