Below la given the answers which Senator Harding made to the many questions propounded to him by the democrats of Oklahoma on bis re- cent visit to that state, Articles 2 and 3 directly concern the Ameri- can Negro, These questions show that there sre many men in the south who continue to agitate the color question. Senator Mardng 1s vers emphatic in bis reply, His Statement {s printed to show thst there can be no separate laws for white and colored people, but that ithe Jaw which governs the black man, must govern the white man. Not only in the southern states do we find these infamous laws, but hero In Kansag we find the separate school laws which should be obliter- ated from the statute books Thie law gives to cities of the eecoud class, the poner to segre- gate the two races whenever desir- able, Senator Harding Is the man ‘tor president. | 1- Do you belleve that the United Stater should recommend to Enr- land that Ireland be granted her favor for rendering ald and support to Ireland and tn your opinion how Jtar should the United States go In this matter.

OKLAHOMANS STAGE A BIG NEGRO FAIR, AT COWETA J. Coody Johnson a Great Organizer at Head of the Institution Wo visited the State Falr at We- woka, of which J, Cody Johnson {s president. This fair waa held seven miles from Wewoka, on the 1600 acre runch of Mr. Johnson, There were crowds at dav and crowds at night. They had flying machines, Ferrts wheels, and everything appertaining fo a fair, Mr, Johnson {9 to be congratulated upon his wonderful success About two-thirds of the patronage wan made up of white people and Indians, This ‘g an annual affair and peopla came from miles to enjoy themselves with these attractions, Mr, Johnson has several hundred head of fine cattle on bis ranch, and Jt fn certainly worth the money to eee what these good men are doing In that country, We visited a few places in Okla- homa recently, Perry, Guthrie, Lang- ston, Oklahoma City and Wewoka. At Oklahoma City we found our old friend Abe Hum running a fine Vestaurant and doing good business, He and wife are among the best people In that country, While there we were guests at his home. He has @ beautiful home In one of the best Portions of the city. * Also we met our friend Cleme Tul- lifer, who has one of the largeat gro cery stores in that town, and fs do- ing good business, Hie wife, Mrs, Tullifer, is g fine business woman and is bead of the Pustern Star Lodge of that city and Is doing pros- perous work. They have several thousand dollars on hand. At Perry, Oklahoma, we must say that we were surprised at the con- dition of the colored schools, Their school 1s in an old, dilapidated con- aition, and the blackboard is about worn out, There is nothing along industrial Nnes to teach the children how to sew, cook or anything. | The members of the schoel board, the superfntendent and the schoo} teachers In these colored schools who stand or these outrages should be dismissed from service, It Is g dix- grace for any man to be a member of a school board who would use his Influence to retard the education of, The Bull Fighter = \— tS) a —* ———_ Se pet ED eit, ——\ee eS EE ‘fer a = == tok ga Fee hag ae soon ee tae 15 Ss TR.

The voters of Kansas will have a opportunity on November 2nd to take Kansas out of her lone position and place her with all of her other Sister States by amending the constitution and permitting the State to pay 25 per cent of the cost of permanent roads in each county. Amendment No 3 to the Kansas State Constitution, to be voted on November 2, 1920, authorizes the State to pay 25 per cent of the cost of permanent roads in each county. Q. What does "State Aid" mean? A. State Aid means that the state will pay a certain part of the cost of building public roads. All of the states except Kansas can now either build roads and pay all of the cost or give aid in building roads. Q. Why does not Kansas build roads or help the counties to build and pay for them? A. The State Constitution says that "the State shall never be a party in carrying on any works of internal improvements." The courts have held that this provision prohibits the state from building or helping to build roads. Q. How can this provision be removed? A. By amending the Constitution. GOOD ROADS AMENDMENT NO. 3. Q Will the voters of Kansas cast their ballot, for or against the State building permanent roads November 2nd? A. They will vote for Amendment No. 3 to the State Constitution, which says: "The State shall never be a party in carrying on any works of internal improvement except to aid in the construction of roads and highways and the reimbursement for the cost of permanent improvements of roads and highways, constructed after March 1, 1919; but such aid and reimbursement shall not be granted in any county for more than 25 per cent of the cost of such road or highway, nor for more than 100 miles in any one county, except that in counties having an as sessal valuation of more than 100 million dollars, such aid and reimbursement may be granted for not more than 150 miles of road or highway; and the restrictions and limitations of sections 5 and 6 of Article XI of the Constitution, relating to debts and internal improvements, shall not be construed to limit the authority retained or conferred by this Amendment." Q Will the adoption of this Amendment force every county to build 100 miles of hard roads? A. No Each count is left entirely independent to build roads or not. The State can only aid on a certain number of miles in each county. See language of Amendment in fourth answer. Q How does each county know that it will get a portion of this State Aid? A. The proposed Amendment No. 3 distinctly says so. Q How will my county (an average county) profit by the State Aid? A. If your county will build any part of the 100 miles of State highways in your county, it will get the State Aid of 25 per cent. THE TYPES OF ROADS. Q What type of road will the State aid in building? A. The State will aid in making an "permanent improvements on State 1. ghwaa," The term "highwaa" means roads, culverts and bridges The State will probably follow the policy of the Federal Government and all in building earth, gravel, macadam, bituminous macadam, concrete, brick and any other type desired by any community or county. WOMEN AND GOOD ROADS. Q Why should the women vote for Good Roads Amendment No 37 A. The bad roads of Kansas work the greatest hardship on the rural women and children by keeping them at home when they would like to go to school and church and to social gatherings. Hard roads in any rural community add to the educational re ligious and social advantages of the people of that community. Therefore, every Kansas woman, in town or country, should vote on November 2nd to help make rural life for the Kansas women and children better. WHERE STATE CAN GET FUNDS. Q. Where can the State get the money to pay its 25 per cent of the cost of building of roads? A. From the automobile license fees. Q. Will the automobile license fees be sufficient to meet the State's share of the cost of permanent improvements on the State roads? A. Yes. California is building her State roads from automobile license fees. Illinois is spending $60,000,000 for Stat roads, and the entire fund is paid from automobile license fees. Minnesota is voting, on November 2d, on a $100,000,000 bond issue to build State roads, with the understanding that the automobile license fees are to meet the cost Missouri, with approval by the same number of cars as Kansas, will vote November 2nd on a $60,000,000 bond issue to build a State system of roads, and a table has been prepared showing that over a period of 30 years the automobile in cense fees in Missouri will pay the interest and retire the $60,000,000 in bonds. The average automobile license fee in Missouri is $7 per car, and the present rate is not to be increased. There are now $25,000 automobiles in Kansas Within one year it is estimated here will be $30,000. At $500 per car this would amount to $1,750,000, or enough to pay one quarter of the cost of $7,000,000 in permanent road improvements per year. At $760 per car it would amount to $2,150,000, or one quarter of the cost of $90,000,000 in permanent road improvements. It is very easy to show that automobile license on cars now owned and estimated to be owned within the next few years at $500, $700 or even $100 per car, that the fees will costly trust the States 25 per cent of the cost of these roads without any property tax whatever. However, this will be left entirely to the legislature. FEDERAL AID TO STATE ROADS. Q. What part of the cost of these State roads will the Federal Government meet? A. Not more than 50 per cent under the Federal law. Congress appropriated in 1916 $75,000,000 for aid in road building. In 1919 an additional appropriation of $200,000,000 was made, making a total of $275,000,000 which the Federal Government has appropriated to aid the states in building roads. Kansas received approximately $8,000,000 of this fund. Q. Will the Federal Government appropriate any more money to help build these State roads? A. Congress has established a precedent or adopted a policy of national aid to road building. Both national political parties and practically all of the Congressmen and U. S Senators are pledged to a continuation of this policy. It is, therefore, safe to expect large additional appropriations by Congress to help build roads in Kansas. Q. What safeguard will be provided for the expenditure of the State road fund? A. As explained above, the legislature will enact such laws as are necessary to safeguard the construction of the roads. In all cases where Federal Aid is secured, the Secretary of Agriculture at Washington will safeguard the work through engineers from the Office of Public Roads, who will cooperate with the State Highway Department and the County Commissioners in the preparation of plans and specifications and the inspection of the work as it progresses.

Taggart, Sept. 18, 1920. Immediate relatives witnessed the ceremony. The bride was reared in Atchison and a sister of Mrs. Carrie Kerford, with whom she made her home. The bride has been a capable employe of the Ramsay Dry Goods store for the last few years and is a bright, ambitious girl. The groom is an industrious young man and is well liked by his employers. They are at home at 2006 N. 24th St., Omaha, Nebraska. We met Rev. James A. Scott, who attended the Baptist State Convention which was held at Wichita, Kansas, recently. He is one of the most progressive ministers in the Baptist church. He has a church at Osawatomie. He is very proud of his little baby girl, and says that she and mother are getting along fine.

(Baptist Brotherhood Bulletin) The Santa Fe Gloe Club composed of some of the very best male singing talent in the city and community is getting away in good form, which fact we are very proud. We are proud of this club as Calvary is well represented therein. They are making good wherever they go and the Santa Fe railroad is going to send them over the entire system. We can't say too many things about this club. They have a manager and a director who are going after things in great shape.

STOPPED HER FITS Mrs Dolla Martin, a resident of Wurtborn, N.Y., writes that she stopped her hats with a medicine that she read about in the paper. She says she was fit since she took the first dose and that she attends every sufferer to 1 about this wonderful dine and what it did for her. If you a friend, or relative, suffer from these dreadful attacks, you are advised to send name and address at once to R P.N. Lepso, 1911 Island Ave, Milwaukee, WI, who is generously offering to send a bottle of the same kind of medicine the gave Martin, free, to any sufferer who writes him - Adv. The following clipping likewise shows what the 'water brained' colored men are giving to the race for advice. Just think! An educator giving advice like this. This man above all else is unfit to be at the head of an educational institution. Educational institutions should be headed by men who are sincere in their convictions, broad minded and level headed and who believe in right, justice and fair play. Any others are out of the question and should not be tolerated at anytime or place. President James B. Dudley of the Agricultural and Technical College at Greensboro writes an open letter advising Negro women not to attempt to register and vote in the coming election. He says that it is not expedient and that it is unnecessary. The paragraph devoted to the exposition of its inexpediency we reproduce: A edipatatAAC feUShot shrd lhr An author of wisdom and renown has declared, and the world has accepted, that all things that are lawful are not expedient. For over half a century the Negro question has been the bane of political discussions. Questions of imperial moment have been shoved aside or discussed in the shadow of this race question, which is so pregnant with prejudice hatred and strife. The progress of our state has been retarded and will always be hampered until we can give calm dispassionate thought and discussion to all public questions of great moment unfettered by prejudice, hatred and violence. We are happily and rapidly moving in that direction. Your entrance now in the political field will add fresh fuel to the fires of race prejudice and political hate, and postpone the day of calm thought, dispassionate discussion, and of political freedom and independence. Prejudice is losing its grip on the throne and intelligence is ascending. Why prolong the struggle? Dudley can usually be counted on to furnish advice to his race which if followed will avert trouble. He belongs to that growing number of educated Negroes who have come to see that no matter what may be in the Constitution or the statute law, nothing is to be gained by the attempt of an inferior to coerce a superior race.

"I believe the federal government 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 battle-fields 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." Senator Harding's Speech o Acceptance, Marion, O. July 22, '20 VOTE FOR HARDING AND THE ENTIRE REPUBLICAN TICKET. The Republican State Committee. 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 reclassification of property which would bring the question of taxation wholly within the realm of politics thus affording the best politicians opportunity to give advantages to the interests they especially represent. BOTH PARTIES TURNED IT DOWN The backers of this three-way proposition to boost taxes urged the Republican and Democratic party councils to endorse it in their platforms, but after giving the subject careful consideration both councils declined to do so. The Kansas Taxpayers' League, made up of citizens in every part of the State, who actually pay taxes, earnestly recommend to their fellow taxpayers that they vote against the three amendments proposed, which, if adopted, would mean the expenditure of millions upon millions of dollars on visionary projects put forth by men who expect to obtain profitable employment on the innumerable boards, or in other offices which would be created.
