The Lopeka Plaindealer JURY GIVES COLORED MAN JUDGMENT OVER WHITE Record Case Proves the White Man's Regard for Sanctity and Purity of Black Man's Home. Atty. Bradshaw, Shrewd Young Topeka Lawyer Astounds Court by his Profound Logic. Hutchinson, Kansas, April 25.—As a climax to the $10,000 suit filed some months ago by Orval Craig, colored, against Chas. Fife, a white shoe maker of this city, the jury composed of whites, brought in a verdict today in the District Court giving Craig judgment for $1,000 and costs. The story of how Fife had invaded the sanctity of Craig's home, stolen the affections of his wife, took her in his home and how he made false accusations Craig in his attempt to humble and sublue him, was told in the court room, which was crowded to capacity during the three days of the trial. Every minute being filled with excitement and intense interest to hear each word as it came from the lips of the figures who participated in the case. In the selection of a jury, a colored man was chosen by the attorneys for the plaintiff, but the objection by the counsel for the defense was sustained by the Court, causing his withdrawal. The case drew nation-wide attention and its verdict as rendered by the jury goes down as the first case of its character which has been brought to a successful conclusion, wherein the white man's respect and reverence for the sanctity and purity of a black man's home was made evident and reparation accorded therewith. Attorney Bradshaw Cross Examines The surprise of the case was the evidence introduced by the attorneys for Craig, which bared the fact that the defendant had been convicted and served a penitentiary term for statutory rape, and who was branded a vulture on society and a menace to decency and propriety, by Atty, Bradshaw, Craig's wife, who took the stand in defence of the white man, stated she had never loved her husband and sought separation from him, was scored by Atty, Bradshaw, who cross-examined her and established the fact that she remained with Craig for seven years and reared three children by him, but left him to live in open adultery with said Fife. The attorney was at his best and proved himself fully competent and shrewd in his severe censure and assignment in handling the case, over alert and prepared for the maneuvering and procedure of the able white attorneys for the defense, who opposed him, one being the city attorney who bears the reputation of being one of the best in Reno county. In his closing remarks to the jury, laid down the four most vital and paramount questions upon which the case was based and which the jury irreovocably answered when they rendered the vowel. These questions deepfelt and penetrating were as follows: J. "Whether or not a Negroes home is any less sacred to our law than that of a white man."

Owing to the fact that quite a deal of time had elapsed since the passage of the University bill, there were some misgivings in the minds of some of the people. And, some had openly said that the governor probably would not sign the bill. In the meantime, Hon.

"Whether a white man who is a penitentiary convict, has a paramount right to the affections of the wife of a Negro." THE NEW YORK TIMES ATTY. WM. M. BRADSHAW Attorney W. Herbert Jamison made an eloquent plea in closing the case, and held the court at rapt attention as he awayed the emotions of his hearers in portraying the irreversible violation by the white culprit, of the sacredness and honor of Craig's home and family. Attorney Wm. Harrison of Hutchinson, who acted as special evidence man served ably with Attorneys Bradsaw and Jamison In an interview with a Plaindealer representative who approached him as he was purchasing a ticket for Western Kansas and Colorado, Attorney Bradshaw remarked, "Yes, I am well pleased with the case, and if your interview is for publication, I will take this occasion to thank the men who composed the jury, for their sane and deliberate Judgment, Attorneys Jamison and Harrison showed excellent ability in handling the case, and as for myself, I just forth the best there was in me" "Detective Brown" he went on to remark, "Is an efficient officer of the law and rendered us assistance in securing evidence and in the selection of the Jury. The race should feel proud of him" "There were a number of "I told you so's" who said it could not be done, and to these I have only this to say, that as a race we give up too quickly. We need concerted action at the proper time and the proper place.

When informed over the telephone that the governor had signed the bill making the institute a university, Mr Moore said, "Sure, I expected that." At the same time, it seemed that it brought assurance and relief to his mind.

RACE NEWS WHICH MARK OUR PROGRESS RACE NEWS WHICH MARK OUR PROGRESS COLORED MAN IN CHAIR AS THE SPEAKER OF NEW JERSEY ASSEMBLY Dr. W. G. Anderson, of Newark, Appointed to Take Place of Speaker Hobart During Absence Trenton, N. J. April 22—For the first time in the history of New Jersey a Colored American occupied the chair of Speaker of the House of Assembly. The honor was accorded to Assemblyman W. G. Alexander, of Newark, member of the Essex delegation, by Speaker George S. Hobart. The latter was called to attend a National Guard Investigation and appointed the Colored man in his place. Dr. Anderson is a practicing physician. A resolution expressing the respect of the House of Assembly on his ability as a legislator, offered by Warren Patten Cohn, a minister and a fellow assemblyman from Essex county, was adopted unanimously. Dr. Anderson is the first of his race to be elected to the New Jersey legislature. COLORED MAN ELECTED Palatka, Voters Give Him Majority Over White Man.

PENNSYLVANIA EQUAL RIGHTS BILL IS DEFEATED Philadelphia Pa., April 19.—The Civil Rights bill which passed the House last week by an overwhelming majority was defeated today in the Senate. It will be remembered that no Colored man was a member of the Senate to look after the interest of the bill as was the case in the house. Race men in the state are starting row in a movement to put a Race man in the Senate two years from now, that their rights may be properly looked after. It is well to mention however, that there were a large number of whites who favored the bill, who were afraid to come out in the open. At the same time there was a deal of southern sentiment working for the defeat. GRAND MASTER OF MASONS FREED OF MURDER CHARGE Chicago, Ill., April 20.—Jackson C.

DON'T WAIT HOW DO SELF-RESPECTING CITIZENS OF CARTHAGE, MO., STAND SUCH IGNORANT AND LOW-BRED TACTICS? White Editor Disgrace to Community The following editorial appeared in "The Carthage (Mo.) Democrat," under the caption, "Courting Danger." We reproduce same with our editorial comment. ardly crimes as you are committing when you write such infamous lies and you know they are lies. Every statement in your article is a mis representation of facts. "Negro domination, feathered, mothered, sistered and brothered by the Republican party threatens the nation. The results of the recent census show all the cities north of the Mason and Dixon Line to have increased in negro population from 23 to 75 per cent. The Republican party for the past few years have deliberately designed that negroes should be transported from the south and become an enfranchised tool with which to jimmy the domicile of white Americanism. The bucks and the wrenches as voters are a frightful monster unloosed by those who have not the slightest inkling of the gravity of their doing. Since the November election these black things, but a few generations from cannibalism, are feeling their importance and race wars are imminent. Negro newspapers, financed by Republicans are carrying editorials and the news stories asking for full social and educational relationships with the whites Denighted, burhead Walthal Moore was sent by St Louis Republicans to the house of representatives. When he was sworn in Lieutenant Governor Lloyd rushed to him, clapped his ash-gray palm, familiarly patted him on the back, and was the first to officially congratulate. To those who do not know the negro's nature this may seem to have been perfectly proper, but those who know the point to which a white can condescend in dealing with blacks, this act was a dangerous blunder. The negro must be kept in his place. The slightest touch of familiarity and the apish, atavistic, ferocious instinct of domination is implanted in his unreasoning mind. This week Walthal arose for recognition. With honeyed tone, Speaker O'Fallon inquired, "What does the gentleman from St Louis, Mr Moore desire?" And the "Gentleman" from St. Louis desired to introduce a bill to the end that the African Lincoln Institute be appropriated one million dollars so that it might take rank with the state university. Of course the Republicans are not going to make such an appropriation, and a measure will be introduced calling for the privilege of the blacks to attend the state university. All the contemplated chicaners of this Republican legislature amounts to nothing when compared with the cost of courting the negro. The first can only demand dollars, the latter will cost lives. It is not the purpose of the writer to stir up racial hatred, nor to breed race wars, but to prevent them, by acquainting the public of their cause. This is a white man's country. As aptly said by a Democratic member of the house "Where the Anglo Saxon plants his "Where the Anglo Saxon plants his foot he rules or finds his grave" Your editorial on the race question, "Courting Danger," comforts us in the fact that you are on the wrong side of the fence, naturally you are disgruntled and have a bad taste in your mouth. It inspires us to say also, that the decent and highly culturel people of that town do not take any stock in such trashy stuff as is contained in the article, and we will further say, we will stake our last dollar that the best, progressive, Christian white people of your town do not allow you to associate with them or to enter their homes, and the better class of Colored people are far above you and your ilk. You could not find a respectable Colored citizen in Carthage, who would resent such methods as you have used to create race hatred and you have not brain enough to realize that you can't stir up dissection in your community between the races with your false and decepting article which misrepresents a people whose lowest class is away above you and your kind. For that class would not resort to such das- human beings by the hundreds. It is your type of ignorant, pin headed, vicious, would be editors who misrepresent and attempt to poison the minds of the desert, self-respecting whites. Yes, the Colored people of the state of Missouri are entitled to a state university and an agricultural school. Mr Moore in his official capacity acted in the interests of the formerly Miss Elizabeth Jones, a for-citizens of the state.

Now, E. D. Roach, owner of a democratic paper and copper-headed villifier of a loyal race who followed the late General and President, U.S. Grant, thrue the wilderness and Sherman to the sea, to perpetuate the Union for which you and your kind sought to destroy, at least from the tone of your article you must be a descendant of the Jeff Davis seceditors. This loyal race slaved and supported your kind for over two centuries, and for no other reason than that they responded to martyrred Lincoln's call to defend this Union, gain their freedom and stop your rebel ante-ctors from robbing and looting them of the labor. You have been their enemy and your rebel ancestors are not only sore at the Colored people, but the northern whites and their ancestors for defending the Union and overthrowing the rebel olikarchy headed by Jeff Davis. Now, E. B Roach, tell us how long you have lived in Missouri, and in what state you were born. My guess is, judging from the tone of your article, that you were born in a rebel state, and if you will trace your antecedents, you will find you are closely allied with the Colored race. There are but few southern whites who never missed an opportunity. After night fall, to be in the company of their slaves, a result of which, your ancestors have mixed up the races to such an extent that it is not an uncommon thing to learn of mixed blood marrying. You may have Colored blood in your veins. Search yourself and your ancestors and find out. We doubt your having a tenth of pure Anglo Saxon blood in your veins, and in fact, there are very few white Americans who can boast of pure Anglo Saxon blood. You will have to look away down East in this country and in Europe for fine bloods, as the American white man, especially the Southern white, has intermarried, outraged and carnally mixed up with every race, mongrel and nationality which has planted his foot on American shores. The brutes narrowly escaping his lust. The blanketed Indian has suffered along with the poor slave woman in the cabin until it is hard to say who is akin. The Speaker of the house and the Lieutenant Governor of Missouri respect their oath of office Mr. Moore the Colored Representative was sent to the legislature by his constituents to represent and make laws for the people of Missouri. He being of the highest type of American citizen, and in recognition of that fact, he was elected to the legislature as any other qualified citizen would be. They did not have to sleep or eat with him, neither did he care. He was not sent there to do other than what he did, that is to serve the people of the commonwealth as a lawmaker and to assist in enacting laws for the betterment of the state and its citizens. He could not enact laws which would be respected by your kind where Colored people are concerned Representative Moore is by far your superior from a number of angles. He would not cohesend to associate with you or anything of your make-up. It is your type which composes the comardly mob, in its violation and disregard for law and order, who burn, lash and torture PRICE $1.50 PER YEAR friends of the state would are fair-minded and self respecting. You say it is not your purpose to stir up race feeling. That is all you can attempt. You cannot write an editorial which would stir the people to improve or build up, neither could you influence anyone thru the columns of your paper to do anything good. The people are studying for themselves and they have caught on to your low bred manner of doing things. Habits of your type are rapidly dying out and going to the devil where they belong. In a few more years, they will be extinct. You can not harm any one and your editorial is perfectly harmless. You will please do me the kindness by publishing this article in the columns of your paper and I will reproduce your comment. We hold no malice towards men of your kind. There is nothing you can say that will sway the good white people of this country from respecting the rights of the Colored race. (A foolish son is the heaviness of his mother.)

C., April 22 —On Last Friday, President Harding sent Assistant Secretary Bills and his Military aide to convey President King, of Liberia, and his commission to the White House that they might pay their respects to the chief executive of the United States. A short while later on the same evening President Harding personally returned the visit of the Liberians at their headquarters, 1337 R Street. Mr. Harding has expressed keen interest in conditions in Liberia and is especially interested in finding out what must be done to establish direct relations with the African Republic for commerce and trade. As Monrovia, capital of the black republic, has no harbor, it is probable that the United States will interest itself in the establishment of a breakwater there. If $5,000,000 were loaned for that purpose, the volume of trade that would come to that port would soon be sufficient to pay back with interest the country which afforded the development. Hon John L. Morris, secretary of the treasury of the Republic of Liberia, now a member of President King's commission, was much pleased with Mr Harding's cordiality. THE EDITOR'S NOTE BOOK Dr. D. L. Stewart of Atchison, was in the city Monday to perform an operation at St Francis hospital. He is very successful with his cases which are numerous as the hospital records will show. He enjoys a large practice among both white and colored of that city. Our old friend, W. H.

While here they were well cared for by Mr. and Mrs. Chas. French, who showed them the city in their fine car. We are always delighted to see Mr. Roan as last month was the first time in forty years that we have had the pleasure of seeing and talking with him. He had never forgotten our names and yet his name had gone out of our memory. When we met he recalled vivid acts of boyhood days of which we never forget; then his name and features loomed up like the sun. He were certainly glad to see and talk with him. He has a fine family and is residing in California.

Miss Helen Ray of Des Moines, Ia. has accepted a position in Howard's Cafe, 112 Kansas avenue. Mr. and Mrs. George Slaughter spent several days visiting in Texas Mr. John H. Lawton, of Junction City was a visitor in the city last week. We must confess that we have seen the work of a number of artists portraying race pictures and sketches, but the work of this young man surpasses anything that has come to our view. As he states, he has felt the keen fangs of racial discrimination and in his dark hours of despair he was inspired to portray with pen and ink, the picture of that hydraheaded monster race prejudice in all its fierceness. We viewed several of his drawings and read a number of lines from his writings and find them good. We regret that such natural talent as displayed by Mr. Lawton must be wasted for lack of an outlet whereby the public could receive the benefits, as well as he, the financial compensation which he of necessity must have for the development of his talent. Mrs James H. Guy returned last week from several weeks visiting in the east with relatives and friends. Among the places visited were: Washington, New York, Philadelphia, Chester, Pa., Gary, Ind, Oberlin, O. and Chicago, Ill.

Bruster is visiting in Kansas City, this week. MUSKOGEE, OKLA. The Death Angel has been quite busy in this community during the past week Mr. Jake Anderson, Mrs A L Hall, Mrs Johnson, Mrs Clay and Mrs Simms, have all been gathered to their fathers. Well, no, we just can't like the idea of having the class of whites around Negro churches. Nor do we like the idea of taking the Negroes over to the white Baptist church to be made monkeys of. You may call it denominational fealty or Baptist harmony. We put the Negro race above all and any denominational ring Churches are public institutions. As such they must stand the gait of criticism like any other institution. We will not let any preacher make an ass out of the race because he can use his denominational gas to confuse his weak audience. The Knights of Pythia services were a great success. Long live the brave Knights. Hon G W. P Brown was here this week in the interest of the U B F and S M T lodge. It does seem that the U B P lodge should at least use the lawyers here in the state. Since it is true, the lodges exist solely on Oklahoma patronsage. Just common sense. Not being satisfied with the salary being paid some of our ministers are using women preachers to and with their exchequer More dollars There are two elements of people who should be taboo, the soft brain, convention going Negro women, who are in life with the degenerate Negro preacher and the Negro preacher who acts as a decoy duck for the south by keeping the Negroes mind on praying and shouting The state legislature will not pass a fair election law The demos know they will lose the state Most of their positions are being held by a rotten election law The following young men are to form an oil company J. B. Cooper. John H. Escos and Frank H. Nash Cameron of Texas, has told the white folks that the Negroes are well pleased with the conditions in the south. Well, who is Cameron? A mulatto who composes the voice of degenerate whitomen and Negro women. Who said a mulatto was fit to lead Negroes other than their white "daddy's" As a result of a weekly meeting by Rev Frank White, many persons were added to the church after the Sunday baptising. No, we can not approve of the conduct of holding up officers and taking prisoners. The bitter correspondence which is going on thru the Tulsa World, attacking Senator Penrose for his attitude on the race question, shows a low state of mind Public schools are closing and many of the state's wards are returning home. Mr. A. J. Tuner, a former citizen of Muskogee, but who now resides in Gary, spent the closing week here. Mr Yates of the Hotel Yates, returned Thursday from Gary where he went to look over the city. He reports satisfaction of the city. The muscale at Convention hall was a success. It was given for the lobbyists who did yeoman service in the interest of the public schools of this place. The rendition of Madame Hawkins, at the First Baptist church was received with much satisfaction. Rev. H. C. W. Cox returned to his charge after the annual conference at Oklahoma City. Lawyers Bruce and Walker returned from Oklahoma City where they fought an important oil case before the Supreme Court of the state. Hon. L. II. Brewer will leave in short to visit his Alma Mater, Biddle University where he will attend the class union Mrs Hall, the woman preacher, may excite on account of her sex, but she falls miserably in feeding the intellectual mind. Such novelty is good to the unsophisticated and the emotional, but not to the deep thinker. Very good ridance for such cause. The Chiropractice is invading this community with wonderful results. Our drug element should get busy as their domain is threatened. The Negroes have about decided to select their own leaders and not leave it to whites any longer. As a rule, the white man's leader never gives satisfaction The average southern leader gets moral courage confused with conservatism. His cowardice is mistaken for conservatism The northern Negro is the only one who is making a fight for the Negro. The Negro in the south is busy with Cane, Corn, Cotton and Cringing Cowardice trying to please the south and be called a "good nigger." These old senseless, sentimental, southern slave songs will never get the ballot. We have tried it for more than 50 years Same old soup, the Negro preachers in Georgia are telling the Negroes they are not praying enough is why they are being treated thusly. The M. H Negroes want a $20 000 S church, that one man may have a job on and the cooks and sud busters might come once a week and have their souls revived It has been discovered that the Baptist church out on Joplin street is the personal property of the pastor Daudy way to hold a job Several churches are similarly situated THE SUPREME SESSION OF THE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS WILL BE HELD IN TOPEKA ON AUGUST 14—19th INCLUSIVE.
