Topeka Plaindealer Our Collector is Calling on Topeka Subscribers. Please be Prepared to Settle a Part if Not All of Your Account. Historical Society State House Twent-First Year. No.15. Your statement has been wired into every hamlet in the cotton belt and in addition the matter is before the United States attorney general; consequently we are seriously hampered until his decision has been rendered and can be wired throughout the cotton belt. Will you telegraph him fully today? Answer. Governor Cites the Law. This object and frantic appeal to his better nature touched the heart of the Governor and he immediately complied with the request. After consulting the state attorney general's office, he wired to the attorney general of the United States at Washington, D. C., as follows: Taving expressed the view in a telegram to Hon. J. S. Wannamaker, chairman of the South Carolina Cotton association, that the combination for acreage reduction of cotton and holding of present supply now being organized in many states if the South is in violation of federal law, he requests me to wire you particulars as to acts which in my judgment are being violated by this combination. "It is now up to the department of justice of the United States," Governor Allen said, after having filed the brave dispatch "There isn't a question in the world that the cotton speculators of the South are violating the antitrust laws of the country, and If Attorney General Palmer does his simple duty he will prosecute them to the limit." Southern Woman Commends Him. While Governor Allen's attack on the cotton speculators brought a world of adverse criticism from Southerners engaged in the cotton trade, it also provoked some responses of a different nature. One of these received from Abilene, Tex., was as follows: There is absolutely no reason for such prices and when you take into consideration that the farmers' families have to meet these prices also it seems that the cotton growers of the South would have a more inferior than allow the suppliers to control the output and price of their chief commodity as they have done in the past. THE WHITE SOUTH ON BENDED KNEE Attacking Kansas Governor is Different from Bulldozing Blacks. Old John Brown of Harper's Ferry fame still goes marching on and the cause for which he gave his life is revered by the patriotic North. As the wheels of time roll onward, the brutal South will get feel the effect of that fearful crime, and just now, Governor Allen is making commendable progress along that line. The white South made a mistake in attacking a Kansas governor. They evidently thought they were fooling with men as they do their colored brethren in that section—brow beat, bluff, bulldoze, rob, cheat and even murder, but they over played their hand and before it is all over they will be begging Governor Allen and the colored voters of Kansas to get them out of the federal prison. The South has been violating every law on the statute books since 1801 and is just now being called to atone for the crimes. The fire eaters of the white South had better keep on of the these Kansas boys. This grand old sake star of the fuss that caused the Civil War and caused the South to give up her slaves, and now, she has kicked up another that will make them free her wage earners. The story of the South's undoing runs thus: Two weeks ago Governor Henry J. Allen declined an invitation to attend a conference in a Southern state for the purpose of helping to plan a reduced cotton acreage and expressed his indignation that the cotton speculators of the South should "deliberately trade in the misery of the world for their own enrichment." Yesterday Governor Allen, an invitation, supplied information to the office of the attorney general of the United States in an inquiry into the truth of the charges that the cotton men were engaged in a conspiracy in restraint of trade. Started as Argument. What started out as a controversy between Governor Allen and J. Shottwa Wannamaker, chairman of the South Carolina Cotton association, over the relative patriotism of the Southern cotton grower and the Kansas wheat grower, developed in two short weeks into an official inquiry by the United States government to determine whether or not there is a great Southern cotton trust. Governor Allen thought he was just taking a pot shot at a situation that aroused his patriotic fry; it develops instead that he has started one of the most important anti-trust inquiries in the history of the country. Linked Up With Old John Brown. Incidentally Governor Allen finds himself the best hated man by the cotton speculators of the South that there is in all the United States. Not content with writing him abusive letters, these speculators have taken to writing letters to the New York World and other newspapers that have taken to Governor Allen's side of the argument, calling the Kansas Governor an "ignorant ass" and applying other choice epithets to him. One fiery Southerner had this to say in a letter printed by the New York World in reply to an editorial in that paper: Ordinarily I would pay no attention to such an editorial, but as you are generally so level headed along this line, I feel constrained to write and remonstrate at your shooting so wide of the mark. As for Allen: I wouldn't distain this intolerant crank with a reply. We are not worrying about anything Kansas or her misfit governor may say about us; in fact, we forgot all about us; in fanatics when we hanged old John Brown at Harper's Ferry. From which it would appear that there are certain "unreconstructed Southerners," who are not yet repentant for that little affair at Harper's Ferry some sixty or more years ago. Give Toura to Cries for Help. $ \dot {s} $ Denance Case The real pinch came, however, when the attorney general of the United States got busy, and Mr. Wannamaker and his fellow conspirators began to see themselves in the grip of the department of justice for violation of the antitrust laws of the country. Choking back his pride, Mr. Wannamaker bleached yesterday with Governor Allen, in a telegram, to lay all his cards down in front of the attorney general that some action or other might be taken, and the cotton association either be quickly found guilty or acquitted, so that it might proceed with its campaign. The Governor's onslaught, which had been received with acusers and derision, two weeks ago had turned into the most serious proposition the cotton association had ever gone up against, and they were forced to cry for help. The Wannamaker telegram was as follows. Please telegraph the attorney general of the United States, Washington quick full particulars as to all sections and all acts you claim cotton acreage reduction is violating. In justice to the cotton belt, we urge that you take this matter up by telegraph as we were in the midst of our campaign when this action was taken. Governor Cites the Law. From circulars sent out by organizers supporting this combine I learn that the organization is composed not alone of cotton growers, but bankers, cotton speculators and business men. Their purpose is to raise the price of cotton which they are now holding, and also to permanently raise the price of cotton in the future. This is definitely expressed in their circulars and appears to be not alone in the interest of the Southern farmer, but of all persons who are holding and possibly securing a corner in the cotton now on hand against the time of the lifting to the embargo. You, of course, know the terms of the ant monopoly act of July 2, 1830 which declares, "Every contract, combination in the form of trust, or otherwise, or conspiracy in restraint of trade or commerce among the several states is hereby declared to be illegal" and "Every person who shall monopolize or attempt to monopolize, or combine, or attempt to monopolize, or combine, or conspire with another person or persons to monopolize any part of the trade or commerce among the several states shall be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor." I cite this law, realizing that you are familiar with it and only at the request of Mr. Wannamaker, who may wish that I give you the very familiar quotations from the supreme court of the United States in defining what is meant by the words combination, conspiracy, trust and monopolize. Should you so desire would be pleased to give you definite citations. My dear Governor: May I not thank you for the stand you are taking in regard to reduced cotton acreage. As a club woman I keep up with everything and as one of the many sufferers form the H. C. L. I noticed that when the price of coal went down last April and people were advised to secure a surplus for the last winter the milies were immediately ordered closed. Excess—overproduction. When meat fell off a small amount in price the packers' orders were no more slaughtering. I am obliged to pay $60 a yard for cotton material for underwear, not being able to indulge in read-made—formerly was 10 and 15c. For percals and clamph dresses, 65c and more a yard were I able to afford them. "which I'm not" My dear Governor I'm explaining the poverty of my wardrobe (by long distance) solely in the interest of the many poor people who are compelled to do without even cotton clothes. You know it is against the law to go without clothes, so the question is "What in the world can we do?" Cotto, how are they a pair and they are reduced to holes during the first wear Please don't think I'm raving, stark crazy, or mad but since the war is over, I'm so darned tired of saying that my temper has gone to the bad. TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING APRIL 11. 1910 ENCOURAGING WORDS FROM LIEUT. JAMISON Topeka, Kansas March 31, 1919. Hon. Nick Chiles, Topeka Plaindealer, Topeka, Kansas Dear Sir: I am writing this letter frankly for publication and confidently intend that it shall be published in your paper. And the only provocation for it is the fact that I am a discharged army officer who spent eight months overseas in combat for the sake of making the world safe for Democracy and now return with enthusiastic appreciation for every man, woman or child who is arriving here toward that same end. No one seriously contends that this Nation is overwhelmed with the enforcement of democratic principles nor can one be heard to say that we entertain any hope that the present stage of democratic reform is ideal. The greatest accomplishment however of the World War, was to forever crush autocracy and facilitate the perfection of democracy without serious threat from oppressive monarchies. Upon returning from overseas there is no soldier who risked his life for the cause but that he feels keener than before. A vital interest in all things important to humankind It is no passive interest but enthusiastic desire fired to determination that the things fought for, shall be realized. And all he praise for victory does not belong to the combatant, and he should take no pride in the victory until he knows that the victory shall extend beyond the field of battle. The fight has just begun and only the bloodshed is over. It is for this reason then that I write you. Because I return to America firmly convinced that there are those who have fought for democracy long, before the war began, and will continue the fight for years after the hostilities ceased to the ultimate end of equality and brotherhood. I consider that you and your paper are one of those agencies of which I have just written and no "Distinguished Service Cross" symbolizes any more bravery and courage than has characterized your conduct and your efforts. You are not well appreciated by your mates and not only have suffered criticism but have had to fight in the face of opposition from those whose rights you have tried to protect. I know of no better or greater living example of sacrifice and usefulness for a just cause than your life. This in the face my knowledge of the accomplishments and efforts of W. E. B Dufflois, Major Motion, Kelly Miller, and others who have been heralded as leaders. And the fact that you do not have the solid support of the down-trodden, oppressed race whose cause you espouse is a reflection upon their ability to be local and appreciative of what you strive to do. There is no reason why your paper, representing as it does an organ for the thought and a true representation of all that transpires, bringing to the people an accurate knowledge of the truth, should circulate in every colored home in Kansas. The talk and compliments of an individual should fall upon deaf ears on all hands if it appears that this aggrieved individual seeks redress selfishly and not for his people. And this dervy type is the type who feels that he cannot subscribe to a colored paper or patronize any other colored undertaking. The success of your paper depends upon the support of the people and its growth arises from them. I wish your paper success and shall consider that the colored people of Kansas are loyal and progressive when I hear that subscriptions are multiplying in great proportions. And I will believe that colored people are appreciative of unselfish, untiring efforts for their benefit, when they stop talking and do something to show that appreciation, and only then. Respectfully, LIEUT. WESLEY H. JAMISON. Touche, Kansas CALLED WHITE YANKS COWARDS Now First Negro to Be Decorated is Accused in a Warrant. St. Louis, March 29.—A federal warrant was issued late today for the arrest of Sgt. Henry Johnson, negro war hero of Albany, N. Y., on complaint of returned white soldiers who declared Johnson had disparazed their valor in an address here Friday night. The warrant is based on the technical charge of wearing the uniform for a prescribed time. form after a prey attack. Johnson is said to have said that the whites were cowards; that they retreated in the face of enemy fire; that the marines refused to fight in the same trenches with blacks, and that the war was won by the proxies. Johnson was visited by deputy marshals, but his arrest was deferred when he promised to retract the charges in a formal statement to morrow. If he falls in this he will be arrested it was said Following a conference with Col. George K. Hunter, commandant at Jefferson Barracks, more than 100 marines, many wearing the Croz's de Guerre with poles attached a committee of seven to demand that John withdraw the charges. son Winfried the committee visited Johnson he filed Johnson, the first negro decorated in the war and mother neymo are credited with killing four Germans and wounding twenty eight others with bale bolts in a fight at a listening post KANSAS DEFENSE SOCIETY CONTINUES TO GROW At the Second Baptist church, To- ckra the following persons contributed and became members of the Kansas Defense Society Mr. Greene Mr. W.

D Cooper Mrs. Pope THEY LEARN TO VILLIFY NEGROES WHEN BABIES. Ten-YearOld White Girl Tells a Malicious Lie About Being Drugged By a Colored Man. Too often the colored people of this community have in no small degree been the object of attack monotonous on the part of some unscrupulous persons to the extent that we feel our duty to condemn these malicious accusations which are based upon no substantial grounds other than race butred and a desire to stir up feeling between the races and disturb the otherwise harmonious feeling in this community. An example of one of the things along the line referred to in anearment on the first page of a local daily in claring headlines "Negro Drugs Little Girl" are a money to the peace and quiet of any community of course people are people who thrive and wax fat upon such stuff after having gained political power by the element of black and white people who believe they are placing men in office who will unhold the law and at the same time be fair to all men. He then socks to remain in the saddle at the expense of the Negro by spreading broadcast any wild unreasonable story that may be hatched on without any investigation "the story related by the so-called "steller" was pure bunk. The little girl claimed to have been attacked by Sevannah and Jackson streets near the heart of the city without surprising attention the villain value has a tendency "stone" with lightning effect Such rot would do credit to Diamond Dick, while opy dillock would grow green with envy. You could take such "done" slip upon the blind side of a rattle snake and take his stuff from him without his moving a rattle. So there you have it, a most remarkable setting—one that would do credit to the exploits of Nick Carter. We can see the villian as he swoops down upon his unsuspecting victim on the corner of or near Seventh and Jackson streets, about 8:15 in the evening a time when all know it is still day light. She screams, bites and scratches her caper but to no avail. He drags her to a waiting buggy at the same time defy administers a sleeping opate, the effect of which is instantenous, but soon after 8:30 she is found upon a porch unharmed save for the temporary hypnotism and a little shaking up, due no doubt to the rough driving of her captor. We wish to say further in all due respect to the able physician who passed upon the victim's demeanor, who敏cleverly fooled and later disproved his diagnosis that said physician should brush up on differential diagnosis on the subjects of Taxicology and mental diseases for the safety of the public if nothing more, for fear that his snap judgment might be the means of committing some unfortunate to the west end of Sixth street HIAWATHA.
