EVILS OF GOVERNMENT
CONTROLLED RAILROADS
Lawrence, Kans, Feb, 20, 1920,
Faitor Plaindealer: 1 thought I
would drop you a few lines and ft
hope you will publish same.
‘Our people don't seem to stand up
for their tights, The government
has control of the railroads and we
are Jimcrowed on everysiie in cars
operating under the control of the
government. Why fs It we cant have
first-class accommodations every:
where? I did not suppose the gov-
ernment shows any difference be-
tween one color or another. We are
considered the backbone of the U.
S., when there is trouble. so why
not recognize us now and give us
equal accommodations on the U. S.
rallroads.
We now tum our thanks to the
Governor pf Kentucky ‘for what he
has done in order to stop Iynchlag
and hope that he will net be the last
Rovernor K to bit this dreadful evil
a telling bow.

Kentucky 8 Law .
Against: Mobs
Action of Governor Arousea Lawmakers
toa Sense of Justice.
The Governor of Kentucky has
demonstrated to the world that lynch:
ing and mob violence can be stopped,
and ruMans can be made to obey the
law. The killing of five people and
wounding of several others at Lex-
ington, Ky., has the right effect.
There will be no further excuse for
governors of other states who have
angleworm backbone to say they can:
not contro! mobs.
The calling out of Federal troops
to suppress mobs in Omaha, Chi-
cago, Arkansas ind other states was
& success. We need a Federal law
which will compel the town, city or
county to give protection to the pub-
Mc or individual against violence or
the relatives of the injured party may
recover heavy damages and those in
authority lose their office. Mob law
must be put down or the country
will continue to grow into bolshes tem
and anarchy will continue to reign.
If white men are permitted to mob,
lynch and burn colored people ‘at
will that mob will some day turr
against itself and destroy the Sife and
Property of their own race, There
ts not another race or nation on the
face of the earth tfat attempts te
and commits the crimes the Amert
can white man does, If he 1s allowed
to continue as he now ie ft will nol
‘be safe for anybody to travel or koey
valuables about them. They are act
ing like Quentrell after the Civil
War—robbing and stealing every
thing in alght. The young white
‘man has grown desperate. The col
ored American will have to hell
[stamp out this outlawry or the whit
race of America will be foreve
doomed. *

DR. DU BOIS WRITES NEW BOOK
“Darkwater,” the Most Powerful Ap-
peal for Justice Ever Printed
Dr. W. E. I. Dultels, the editor
of the Crisis, has Just written a new
Pook, It ts called “Darkwater,” and
‘was published on February 20th by
the great New York publishing firm of
Harcourt, Mrace and Howe,
Haye you ever read DuBols's “Soul
of Biack Folk?” St was written

Das thrilled men with Its pleture of
‘the suterirgs ¢? nn opnrossed race.

document of extraordinary intensity
and insight, expressing the awake
ened conscience and asperations of
ihe darker races everywhere, ant

Pressed race In the world, No one
has ever described with greater
power and beauty what it fs like to
be a black man In awhite world.
No one has over made a nobler and
Tore powerful appeal for justice to
black folk,
Most people think that the Negro
Problem {a one thing, and the prot-
lem of work or wages or etucation or
Rovernment is another thing, Rut
that fs just what Dr. DuMola doca not
believe. He proves that if you rotve
the problems of work and wages and
education and government in the
Tight way, you will solve the Negro
Problem at the same time. There ts
no color problem apart from these
other problems. To maka thia clear
he his dexeribed his own childhood,
tratning and outlook on the world as
@ Negro; and to show the saat emo-
tonal content of the ancial problen,
he has [nseried between the chapter
bits of poctry and fanes, which In
terpret the bewilderment, the disat
Polniment, the Jonging nnd the faith
of millions of men, The hook ends
‘ith a brief philosophy of beauty and

Thiir culogles of the black man's
achievements, his bravery, his loyal-

faults and our virtues In a much
larger mensure than does any white
man. It would be far better should
these outspoken friends gu to their
own people and before white audl-
ences and make the reat state
ments, It Is beneficial for aur white
friends to hear these good deeds,
traits and sentiments, And it fa edu-
cation for poor ignorant whites who
practices prejudice agalnst ua, The
Leader belleves that the white people
who are friendly ta our race can do
the colored folks most good possible
by aequainting hls white brethren,
rather than preaching ta ua, of our
finer qualities ‘This alludes expect

(From Baptist Brotherhood Bulletin)
Open up, be ready for something new; if good, absorb it; if evil, dodge it if you can, but if not, combat it.
Apply Jesus' remedy, "get behind me Satan," and go on smiling. Better fall trying than refusing. Keep up with the procession if it is possible.
Excart minds and methods cannot hope to do it.
A great change has come over our B. Y P. U We are having better services than ever before in the history of the church.
Mrs. George Ralney who lies on Filmore street will entertain the Sisterhood at a fine dinner in the near future or as soon as health conditions will permit. Sister Ralney is some cook and I am wondering if I will be able to convince her that I belong to the Sisterhood.
All church organization and club meetings are being abandoned for the present on account of the flu ban.
Sister Mattle Perkins must be having a delightfully good time or she is terribly busy she does not have time to send any news to our little sheet. We were hoping all along that we would hear from her telling us what the Baptists are, doing out West. May be she is saving all the news until she returns to our city. We will be glad when she returns as we miss her in her place very much.
We suppose as soon as the flu ban is lifted, the church Aid's first meeting will be at Sister T. W. Troupe's on Lincoln street; and the Sewing Circle will meet with Sister Jones and the Sisterhood with Sister Isabelle Walker on Garfield avenue.
Our Sunday school is doing very good and with the earnest prayers of the superintendent, pastor and teachers in fact all concerned we hope to have a fine school very much improved by this time next year. Everyone seems to be full of smiles and the spirit and we are having very fine lessons. If you have not been coming out to this service there is no better time than now. You are losing some of the precious food you need by not coming to Sunday school. Come out a few Sundays for a trial and see if the services aren't so good that you will continue.

If You Have Used Gavitt's System Regulator
For Spanish Influenza (FLU), Write Us. Rush!
THIS CIRCULAR WAS NOT GOTTEN UP to make sales for Gavitt's System Regulator but to exchange experiences of users, so that those who have the medicine would know how others had used it for Spanish Influenza and what results they got from its use.
GAVITT'S SYSTEM REGULATOR TABLETS have been used for over a quarter of a century for Constipation, Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, La Grippe and other family ills and have given excellent satisfaction, and from the reports we have been receiving from users of this medical compound it is proving equally as valuable for the 'Flu."
IF YOU HAVE USED Gavitt's System Regulator for Spanish Influenza, or know of someone who has, write us or have them write us at once, and tell us what satisfaction it gave and how the tablets were used to get the best results.
YOUR EXPERIENCE MAY HELP OTHERS, while their experience may help you.
THE FOLLOWING LETTERS, and parts of letters, are only a few of the many we have received from users of Gavitt's System Regulator tablets who have used the same for the 'Flu' with good results.

Gentlemen.—It has been about 18 years since I took the first dose of your Gavitt's System Regulator and ever since that time I have kept it in the house as a family medicine. My first experience with your medicine was when it cured my husband of a very serious stomach trouble 18 years ago. Last winter when the 'Flu' was raging all over the country and 300 of the citizens and neighbors were suffering with this disease my son contracted this disease and I cured him in 5 days by giving him nothing but Gavitt's System Regulator. 'At the end of this time I came down with the disease myself. I began to use your Gavitt's System Regulator according to the special directions for this trouble and in about 4 or 5 days I was completely cured. I was a little weak at the end of this time but not so weak but that I could look after by regular household duties.
My idea in giving you this statement is to help others who may be similarly affected. I have known of it curing a large variety of other complaints and I can assure you that I heartily recommend it to others and if others knew what I know regarding it they could save much suffering and many doctor bills. Yours truly, MRS. ELIZABETH ALLISON.

GOV. LOWDEN REAL FRIEND OF FARMER
Record In Offices Proves His Interest in Measures to Benefit Agriculture
Illinois Governor is Cotton Pianter, Stock Raiser and General Farmer —Fosters-Bills to Make Rural Life More Attractive,
Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, one of the leading candidates for the Republican nomination for president, is a practical and successful farmer. Born on a farm near Sunrise, Minn., of sturdy American parentage, he moved to Hardin county, Iowa, when he was 7 years old, where he worked his way through school later by teaching. When he came to Chicago he purchased a large farm near Oregon, Ill., which he now calls his home.
This farm is one of the finest in Illinois. In addition to this he owns and operates two cotton plantations in Arkansas and has extensive stock breeding interests in Texas. Although he has been successful as a teacher, lawyer, business man and statesman, Lowden priors to be known as a farmer. He has a way of succeeding in everything he undertakes and his experience as a farmer is no exception to this rule.
The governor's interest in farming has at no time been more forcibly shown than during the four years he has governed Illinois. In his inaugural address he laid out a broad policy which he has consistently followed for fostering every phase of agriculture. He said, on taking office:
"Agriculture is our most important industry. It is the source of our greatness. Its continued success is the condition of any permanent prosperity within our borders. The conservation movement must concern itself with the soil, for even our brief history shows that fertile fields may become abandoned farms through other causes than lack of rainfall. The raising of the stock seems necessary if we are to preserve the fertility of the soil. We should foster this industry in every way we can.
"We should encourage cooperative farming. Whatever you find agriculture in its highest state you find that cooperation has made its greatest advantage."
One of the most notable measures taken by Gov. Lowden to foster agriculture was the civil administrative code. This act consolidated in the state department of agriculture various commissions and bureaus, created from time to time to aid the farming interests. The efficiency of administration was vastly enhanced by this centralization of responsibility, and the benefits to the rural population have been increasingly evident during the two years since the code was adopted.
Moreover, through Gov. Lowden's active interest, a number of bills have been put through the legislature directly bearing on the farmer's lot. These include the bill for establishing a tenancy commission, for regulating commission morrhubs, the pure seed law, the revised dog law, compensation for the slaughter of tubercular cattle appropriation of $12,000) for a limestone plant, appropriation for a live stock biological laboratory, establishing a veterinary college, and regulating the spread of plant disease.
The governor likes not only farms but farmers. In a speech recently he said:
"In these troublesome times I often with I were governor of a state whose only citizens were farmers. The farmer is the greatest stabilizer in the country and if it were not for our G(M)(M) farmers I would despair of the future of America."
LAST LINCOLN PALLBEARER LOOKS TO LOWDEN TO LEAD
Simeon W. King, Friend of Emancipator, Expects Illinoisan's Record to Make Him Party Choice.
Simeon W. King, active in Illinois Republican politics for 70 years and the last surviving pallbearer who officiated at the funeral services for Abraham Lincoln held in Chicago, has declared his intention of supporting Governor Frank O. Lowden for president.
"I have voted for every Republican president since Lincoln and I expect to cast my ballot for Lowden next November," said Mr. King. "I have known Frank Lowden for thirty years, and he is just the type of man the country needs for president in this crisis of the country's history. He is able, honest, progressive, experienced and efficient. I remember when he first came to Chicago as a poor young man to study law. I saw him admitted to the bar and later enter public life and rise to fame, and I feel proud of his great success.
"He has proven the best governor Illinois has ever had, and we have had some great executives in the history of the state."

Good-Bye Hot Combs!
There is one sure way that has never failed to make Knotty Khaky hair straight without the use of hot combs.
KAP-O-LINE-isn't one of those fake hair treatment offer you have seen so many times. KAP-O-LINE has the endorsement of every reputable doctor, and guaranteed by the manufacturer. This makes the offer one which you can absolutely depend upon. KAP-O-LINE has been sold under absolute money-back guarantee for more than fifteen years. It is especially compounded by trained chemists in the largest manufacturing laboratories of toilet articles in the southwest. As a treatment for failing hair, dandruff and all scalp diseases, making the hair soft, fluffy and lustrous, is not greasy nor gummy.
The hair must be thoroughly washed. We recommend Kap-O-Line Shampoo, as it puts the hair and scalp in a clean, antiseptic condition. Then apply thoroughly Kap-O-Line every night for six nights, brushing and combing the hair thoroughly night and morning. After six days' treatment you will have a gift of beautiful straight hair, full of life and vigor. Just such hair you are promised once you start the use of Kap-O-Line.
Price of Kap-O-Line, 35 cents; Kap-O-Line Shampoo, 50 cents.
Sold by druggists, or mailed upon receipt of price and your druggists name. Manufactured by STONE and CO., Perfumers, Dallas, Texas.
