A KANSAN TALKS TO EASTERNERS
THOMAS D. SMITH OF KANSAS TOURING DELAWARE AND DRAWING LARGE AUDIENCES.
His speeches in Delaware against the League of Nations have drew interesting audiences wherever he goes. He has flayed the League of Nations and the administration at Washington without any mercy. He is a brilliant lawyer, gifted orator and staunch friend and defender of white and colored Americans. Delaware Republicans are lucky indeed to have the Kansas statesman and orator in their midst. Mr. Smith is the champion of the colored people's cause in Kansas. Extract from the Evening Journal of one of Mr. Smith's addresses:
"I am glad tonight that I am stand ing on the soil of a state made famous by your Rodney, who rode from Lewes to Philadelphia to make America free from the hatred of the European powers, and the boys who
stood at Coorna's bridge on that moatable September 23, under brave General Maxwell, and flung the Stars and Strips to the winds for the first time were determined not to surrender their rights to Cromwell or Howe. At the historic Brandywine those same brave boys, many of them Dela wareans, fought under Generals Washington, Greene, Sullivan, the two Marshalls and Lafavette, and they laid down their lives determined that they would throw off the yoke of England. I tell you now, we today want no ties with them.
"I can see the brave Lafayette now, he who fought to make France free, standing here on Delaware soil with drawn sword, shouting 'America must be free.'
"I want to impress upon you that we tonight are on sacred soil, made so by the blood of our ancestors. La-fayette, wounded in the leg, his boot filled with blood, was forced to cease fighting and almost collapsed when taken to the rear by surgeons. I can see the bove who fell in that battle and their blood was not shed in vain, for I believe on November 2 you will show the world that England with her six votes to our one will have received our answer to the League of Nations."—The Crusader, Baltimore, Md.

SLAVE BORN, NOW RICH,
Many Silk Shirts,' He Says,
'Cause Racial Unrest.'
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 19,—Born a slave, and now reputed to be one of the wealthiest and most respected Negroes in the south, David T. Howard, 71, today celebrated his golden wedding anniversary and made it the occasion to give some advice to members of his race.
Beginning on a legacy of $150,000 left by his former master, Howard now owns a business rated to be the fourth largest of his kind in the city, and financed institutions readily make him loans on his name.
"I never wasted time, never went in for wild guts, never saw a ball game and, never danced a step but always attended to my business," said Howard. "No social equality for me; no same thinking Negro wants it."
The Negro today, Howard said, wants better justice in courts, better accommodations on railroad trains
and more schools for his children. "To many silk saliris and too much good time," he said, were the causes of racial unrest,

Republican Party Against Lynching
We urge Congress to consider the most effective means to end Lynching in this country which continues to be a terrible blot on our American civilization—Platform of the Republican Party, 1920.
Senator Harding Against Lynching.
I believe the Federal Government should stamp out Lynching and remove that stain from the fair name of America.—Warren G. Harding; Speech of Acceptance.
Senator Harding Champions Rights of Negro Citizens.
I believe the Negro citizens of America should be guaranteed the enjoyment of all their rights, that they have earned the full measure of citizenship bestowed, that their sacrifices in blood on the battlefields of the Republic have entitled them to all of freedom and opportunity, all of sympathy and aid that the American spirit of fairness and justice demands--Warren G. Herding: Speech of Acceptance.
Calvin Coolidge Against Lynching and For Equal Opportunities to Negro Citizens.
There is especially due to the colored race a more general recognition of their constitutional rights. Tempted with disloyalty they remained loyal, serving in the military forces with distinction, obedient to the draft to the extent of hundreds of thousands, investing $1 out of every they earned.

PROMINENT KANSAS CITY
GROCER MOTORS TO CAPITAL
Mr. James H. Clayborne of "Baby Beef" fame in company with his bosom friend and fellow townman, C. C. Link, of Kansas City, Kansas, both said to be among the best in that section with a double barrel in instrument and a box of number 12s, molored to the capitol city a few days ago to visit relatives and friends of the former at the same time return with a car filled with the fruits of a successful dog's hunt. They came prepared plenty artillery and ammunition with which to do business, however the last report we have of them they were revaging the sumptuous and lavishly loaded table of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Clayborne, who entertained about 30 citizens of this city in their honor on Thursday evening at their home southwest of Topeka. They tell us the gentlemen returned home with an empty back but a well filled stool righ.
MITCH, OKLA.
We are making our second appeal to the loyal citizens in the vicinity of Milch, especially to those that signed the petition for the reeablishment of the post office. We think since you have signed the petition and that I have spent a deal of my time and talent and also some money in getting the office established, now it looks to me like you might patronize the office. It is best not to make a row than to make one then break it. When I was a child I thought as a child and when we become men we ought to put away childish things, think business and put our shoulder to the wheel of success and help achieve victory for the race. Once upon a time a friend knew a man who hated him and for a very foolish reason. He was jealous of his attainment. He despised him because he was successful in the line of endeavor in which he himself wished to excel, but lacking energy brain and talent and only made 15 per cent mother wit, he was one of those small natures who can not see that if success gets into the air he himself would be helped. He would catch some fragments of that success that is floating in the atmosphere. So, if one man is successful he sends out waves of prosperity and if anyone is within the radius of his career they will be far more apt to succeed than to fall. You signed the petition to get the post office with your own free will with the understanding that you would patronize the office. Since you have made a pledge it is your duty to stick to it.
WHAT OTHERS SAY OF MR. PETTIJOHN

Mr. Nick Chiles.
Topeka, Kansas.
Dear Nick:—
I am writing you this personal letter to express to you Mr.Pettl john's appreciation of your co-operation in giving an wide publicity as possible to the Constitutional Amendments to be submitted by the Legislature to a vote of the people at the coming election. The detail of this work was delegated to me with instructions to be fair in the draft.
but an index to N. Pettijohn's administration of the office of Secretary of State in all of its departments. Having a close, first hand view of the work in this branch of the State government, I think I am justified in expressing to you my high regard for Mr. Pettijohn as a State official. He is striving to make a record for efficient public service, and I believe this opinion is shared by the citizens of Kansas who have had business intercourse with this office.
It has occurred to me that you might be willing to make favorable editorial mention of Mr. Pettijohn's candidacy for reelection to office of Secretary of State I hope the efficient service he is endeavoring to give to the people will justify you in calling special attention to his candidacy and request your readers to give him a good vote in your community, a favor I know he will greatly appreciate. A good word from you in the issue of your paper before the election will count I will be glad to receive a copy of your paper containing such comment as you may make. If you have a cut of Mr. Pettijohn in your files you may wish to use it in this connection.
Whenever I can be of service to you in Topeka do not hesitate to write to me. With regards and best wishes, I have the honor to be Your friend. D. O. McCray.

and permit the State to aid in building
365-day roads in every county.
STATE'S SHARE CAN BE
PAID BY AUTO FEES
ELECTION
Nov. 2, 1920.
Vote "YES" on No. 3
Why Every Former Should Vote for the Good Roads Amendment No. 3, November 2, 1920.
Because the State and Federal Government will aid in building perma nent roads in his county and he need not pay one dome of the State's share except his auto license.
Because the State auto fees can pay the State's share of the cost of the roads.
Because more than 50 per cent of the automobiles of Kansas are owned by people in the towns and cities, and therefore more than 50 per cent of the State Aid will be paid by the town people. But the town cars went out the roads all over the State and the owners of these cars are perfectly willing to help pay the cost of the roads if only given the chance by the adoption of Amendment No. 3. Because the value of a hard road depends on its connections and State Aid means a complete connected system
Because every State in the Union except aansas is now building hard roads or getting ready to do so. If Kansas wants to keep its place with the progressive, prosperous States of the Union, she must do the same thing. It is not enough that 25 or 30 counties are building hard roads. To be of real service to the people the State should aid and have a complete system connecting all sections of the State
Because a complete State system of permanent roads will link together every community in Kansas and allow her people to meet and mingle and be friends, whereas, with bad roads the people are held back.
Because good roads in every community improve the social, religious and educational advantages of the people living in that community.
Because every farmer in Kansas wants to give his wife and children as good surroundings and as many advantages as those of his friends in other counties and States where hard roads have been built or are being built.
Because hard roads save time on the road, save transportation cost to and from markets, enable the farmer to market his products any day in the year, save money in the repairs and deposition of trucks, motor cars and all kind of vehicles.
Because bad roads are expensive with poor roads the money makers and money states.
Because of the roads are now need
led to carry the to join highway traffic
Because hard tools mean better cur
rals will serve better schools, and
markers close to the farm
Because the mud tax is the heaviest

The Purpose of the Good Roads
Amendment No. 3.
Why Not Let the Automobile and Truck Pay a Portion of the Cost of Bargaining Roads
Q What is the purpose of the Good Roads Amendment?
A I give the state power to aid in the building of permanent roads.
Q Do other States have this power?

Q If Kansas had the power to aid in road construction where could funds be obtained?
A From the automobile license fees
Q Do other States use the automobile license fees to aid in building permanent roads.
A Yes all States adjoining Kansas and not every other State in the Union nor uses at least a portion of the automobile license fees for this purpose.
Q What per cent of truck on main roads is auto motor or truck?
A Over 50 per cent.
Q What per cent of cars are owned in the cities?
A 50 per cent.
Q What has made necessary the building of permanent roads?
A The automobile and truck
Q. How can the automobile and truck be made to pay a portion of the cost of the building and maintaining of permanent roads?
A. By the passage of the Constitutional Amendment thus allowing the State to take at least a portion of the automobile license fee and use it in assisting in road construction
A Scheme to Increase Taxes
Three amendments to the Constitution of Kansas will come before the people November 2 for their approval or rejection, in sustance as follows:
1-To saddle on the public an additional burden of debt for hard surface roads
2-To enable the State to engage in the real estate business by purchasing a large area of land for cash and selling it on the installment plan.
3-To provide for a re-classification of property which would bring the question of taxation wholly within the realm of politics thus affording the best pollticians opportunity to give advantages to the interests they especially represent.
