Colored Citizen field, Ohio A Jim Crow Sc Negro Politicians and Fe For Attemp Springfield, Ohio, Sept. 17.—Colored citizens here indignant over the attempt of the school board to foist upon them a school to be used exclusively for Negroes with Negro teachers. Fulton Street school has been set aside for this purpose and the white children transferred to other schools. Some time ago, a petition was presented to the Board of Education for a school with all Colored teachers and for Colored children, but the Board refused to act when they were confronted with a counter—petition opposing such a plan. Blame for this insult is laid at the door of certain Negro politicians and a few other persons who are anxious to have jobs of teaching no matter Fayors Mixed School In Preference To None White Man Would Have Negroes Attend School With Whites While Number Is to Small to Open Negro School. Jefferson City, Mo.—In discussing the section of the report of the Constitutional Convention Committee on suffrage and elections which provides for a literacy test for all voters, Hon. Chas. D. Morris of St. Joseph, republican member of the Convention, said that he would not favor such a provision under present educational conditions which prevail in the state. He said that ample provision was not being made for the education of Colored people. "I would rather," Mr. Morris said, in speaking of the lack of provision for the education of Colored people in this state as he viewed the situation, "have Negroes educated in white schools than contemplate the ultimate disadvantage of their remaining uneducated altogether." Mr. Morris charged that in some counties where certain industries demanded Negro employment, the employers have avoided the establishment of schools for Colored children by moving families from one district to another and thus preventing the population in one place reaching such a point where the establishment of a school would be required under the law. The law provides that where there are as many as fifteen children (colored) a school must be provided. Mr. Morris further stated that in districts where there are not as many as fifteen children of African descent, as would favor having them attend school with white children.—The Kansas City Call. --- TYPICAL GOMPERS PUBLICITY Samuel Compers tries to create the Impression that the strike was in some way connected with the Missouri wreck, probably intimating that the engineer, being a good brotherhood man, deliberately committed suicide to discredit the shopmen-Indianapolis Star. Mr. Clarence Long, who died in Kansas City, Kansas, Sept. 13th, at the age of 63 years, was at one time a member of the police force of this city, and was also a paperhanger and painter by trade. He was a member of St. John Lodge No. 8922 of the Odd Fellows. He was a member of the M. E. church. Funeral service were held at Stone-street, s Chapel Saturday afternoon, Sept. 16th. He leaves to mourn his demise, a wife, and two daughters, Mrs. Ethel Long, McAdoo and Mrs. Anna Lee, of Kansas City, Kansas. ns Of Spring- Aroused Over school Movement Few Selfish Citizens Blamed empted Outrage - what the cost may be. It is recalled by those who oppose this action that prejudice is always stronger after the establishment of separate schools and cite Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton as noticeable examples. The opponents of the proposition are ably championed by some of the most influential members of the white and Colored race, among whom are Hon. Harry Clay Smith, editor of The Gazette, Cleveland, Ohio, and The Springfield Daily Sun. From all indications they stand a good chance of winning out in the fight against this "Jim Cerow" movement on the part of the Board of Education. Negro Candidate Receives Few'Race Votes Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 18.—The Gazette, published here by Harry Smith, recent candidate for Republican nomination for Governor, contains the following interesting information; Lucas county, including Toledo where there are more than 5,000 male Afro-American voters, gave Hon. Harry Clay Smith, our candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, 382 votes on Aug. 8; Summit county, in which is the city of Akron, and which has about 4,000 male Afro-American voters, gave him 654 Hamilton county (Cincinnati) where there are at least 10,000 male Afro-American voters, but 1681, a little more than half as many votes as he received in the 11th ward on election day, last fall, and there are 32 wards in Cleveland; Mahoney county (Youngstown) where our male vote numbers about 5,000, gave him 1,253, Mahoney and Clark counties with their small male Afro-American vote as compared with either Hamilton or Cuyahoga county's vote, gave our candidate more votes proportionately than either of the two last named counties in which are the largest cities of the state. In Clark county our candidate received nearly 300 more votes than were given in the county to Secretary of State Harvey C. Smith another candidate for the Republican nomination of Governor at the recent primaries. Interesting isn't it? Especially so when one remembers what a strangle hold on the election machinery of both Cleveland and Cincinnati as well as Dayton and Columbus the Republican organization of these cities have. Only the most unsophisticated perron in the world would for one minute believe that not only Harry Clay Smith but several other candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor were given credit on the face of the returns, for anything like the number of votes they really received in Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton and Cincinnati on August 8th. The primary and other elections in Ohio need a thoro "renovation" Of this there cannot be any doubt. --- TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER, 22, 1922 Commends President For Stand on Bonus Bill Editor Chiles Thinks Harding Rendered Country Service By Vetoing Soldier Relief Bill. Railroad Officials Promise Better Service to Colored Patrons in Oklahoma President Harding is to be complimented on vetoing the Soldier Bonus Bill which was got up to fool a number of our anxious people who wanted a little money which would do no one any good the way it was to be issued. The healthy and well to do Soldier who can and is earning money can afford to wait until he needs help, then ask for a Pension sufficient to keep him and his dependants in their old days. It would be a crime for a young healthy Veteran who is earning a good living or has a fair income to accept a bonus at this time it is just as wrong to accept as it is to refuse to fight for his country. The President is to be commended for the courageous stand taken. This allows he is no Pattiforger, he is a big Statesman. The people are taxed almost to human endurement. They want and need a breathing spell or they will loose their homes and business as well. The Wilson Administration just simply stood mute and let the Graffers steal the people blind, through CELEBRATES GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Rev. and Mrs. G. W. Guy celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on Sept. 2nd at their home on Western Avenue. During the evening over 200 callers with presents and congratulations were received. From 200 friends from Omaha, Neb; California; St. Joseph, Mo; as well as from the friends in Topeka. Rev. and Mrs. Guy are Topeka's pioneer citizens, having lived in Topeka for several years. Rev. Guy was for twenty years a teacher in the high school at Shelbyville, Tenn, where Mrs. Guy was one of his pupils for four years. After graduating she was married f. Rev. Guy and for a number of years assisted her husband in his school work. The out of town guest were Mrs Orval Reynolds, Miss Beulah Oliver, Springfield, Mo, Mrs. Coleman, and Mrs. Harrokes of St. Joseph, Mo. Mr. and Mrs. L. Buchanan and Mrs Wm. Johnsan of Oak Mills, Kansas, attended the State Free Fair last week. The Mothers' League will have a meeting Friday afternoon, Sept. 22 at the Pierce Addition School, at 4:00 o'clock. Mrs. Woods, president. Railroad Official Better Service Patron For a long time since the enactment of the race separation laws of Oklahoma in public conveyances, Negroes have been subjected to all kinds of indignities and inconveniences due for the greater part to the inefficiency and carlessness of railroad trainmen. White trainmen, dead-heads, newsbutchers and passengers have had a habit of encroaching on the rights of Negro passengers in the little space allotted to them on trains. A great deal of grumbling on the part of the victims of these indignities have resulted, but it was left for Nick Chiles, the fearless editor of the Plaindealer, to bring the fact of these continued persecutions to the attention of the higher officials of the roads where these unjust discriminations occur. We are publishing in full the text of the exchange of letters between him and officials of the road. Mr. Charles Hayden, Chairman, Board of Directors, C. R. I. and P. R. R. Co, New York City. Dear M. Hayden: I am calling your attention to sympathetic War talk just like the people are talking bonus sympathy, to allow the Grafters time to wake up and grow fat from the Boys who went to the front. It would be like throwing money in a rat hole to have passed the bonus bill. The President is right by wanting to take care of the disabled Soldier's Widows and Orphans. Keep up the Vocational and Education of the boys. They are rupping great benefits out of this plan. This Government will take care of their veterans, they have always and always will take care of them. No veteran will ever live on a poor farm or live in a paupers home, nor will he in his old age suffer or want for sustenance as long as old Glory waives and the Christian refuge n predominates in the United States. Stand up boys and be brave not beggars you have done your duty and Uncle Sam will do his so do not hunch your government so they cannot help you when you need it worse. REV. J. LOGAN CRAW LOSES HIS MIND According to an item in the Advocate, Portland, Oregon, Rev. J. Logan Craw, pastor of Bethel A., M. E. church, Seattle, Washington, has gone insane and is now confined in an asylum in Seattle. Rev. Craw is formerly of Lawrence, Kansas, and his wife was formerly Miss Lillian Jeltz of this city. The wife has the sympathy of her many friends who hope for him a speedy recovery. WINS JUNIOR MUSICAL ... CONTEST AT STATE FAIR The little Miss Ethel Loretta Love, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. P. Love of Ila, Kansas, was in Topeka, Kansas, during the State Fair, and entered the contest in music with eleven other little girls near her age. She was the only colored girl entered However, she won first prize in the event. This little girl has a wonderful musical talent. She seemed to have carried the audience off its feet as her little fingers ran up and down the keyboard of the piano. The judges were all white, but were exceedingly fair in their decisions. She won second prize in the same event at the State Fair last year. The members of the Race are justly proud of such children as this. Mails Promise Race to Colored ns in Oklahoma few outrages being perpetrated or Colored people by some of the employees of your line. We admit that you have some passenger conductors and trainmen who are interested in the welfare of the road, but there are others interested only in what they can get out of it and care nothing for the upbuilding of the system. In Oklahoma, as you are aware, they have segregation laws on passenger trains for white and Colored, while the greasy Mexican and the blanketed Indian with his breech clout are classed as whites. It makes no difference how cultured and refined a Colored person may be, he is compelled to ride in the coach known as the "Jim Crow Car," which has three partitions; one for women, and a smoker for men. Invariably, however, we find dead-head employees of the road riding in the Colored apartments and sometimes occupying two seats. They have muddy feet, dirty clothes, and smoke, and when a Colored person boards a train he is compelled to ride in this apartment with these dead-heads and is often asked to go Continued on page two Negro Porter Beaten By Mob Is Awarded $5000 Jury Returns Verdict for William Bradley, Taken From Streets and Badly Beaten During Shopmen's Strike, VISITS RELATIVES Mrs. W. M. Cavens of Manhattan, Kansas, and daughter and son in law, Mr. and Mrs. Ballou, of Hiawatha, Kansas, was in the city this week visiting relatives. While here they were the guest of Mrs. P. H. Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. James Sadler, Mr. and Mrs. Clarence James, Mr. and Mrs. Clinton T. Duke. Mrs. Cavens is the wife of Mr. Wm. Cavens, a prominent contractor of Manhattan. It is said that he is one of the most popular men in his town. He is to pay Topeka a visit in the near future. Mrs. Cavens came to the Fair and remained over the following week. Negro Porter B Mob Is A Jury Returns Verdict for From Streets and Badl men's Alken, Kau,' Sept 17 -- William Sandley, colored porter of the Rock Island at Herrington, who was taken from the streets of that city by six men, some of them strikers, last July and carried to the country and beaten, was given a damage of $5000 against the city of Herrington in a district court according to the verdict returned by the jury. He sued the city for $20,000.00 under the state mob law. This action shows how Kansas does things. If all other states would follow suit and enact laws to make municipalities responsible for crimes, there would be fewer riots and lynch- Crime Cause of Injunction, Says Daugherty Washington, D. C., Sept. 18.—The temporary federal injunction and obtained by the United States Department of Justice in connection with the railroad strike affects only those individuals who in connection with that strike have been and are doing unlawful acts—wrecking trains and thereby jeopardizing and taking the lives of passengers and railroad employees; threatening the lives of other railroad employees, assaultin and even murdering them; destroying railroad property, inciting riots and forming mobs for the purpose of driving men away from work and detying authorities. That such acts of violence were done in great numbers between the date the strike went into effect and the date of September 1, when the Department of Justice asked for the injunction, is evidenced in a long list compiled from reports printed in daily newspapers from day to day. This list contains only the most important acts of violence. There were dozens of minor acts reported which are not listed. There were four train wrecks not listed because the causes of the wrecks were undetermined. Since a large number of the men employed in the places of the strikers are Colored, there is more than a passing interest on the part of Colored people the country over in this effort on the part of the Government to protect railroad workers. The following is one of the many clashes in which Colored men have been involved. On July 7th Fred, J. White, superintendent of the car department of the Illinois Central Railroad at Harman, La, was assaulted and one white man and three Negroes were shot and wounded during clashes between railway workers and strikers.

Kansas laws make the taxpayers responsible for mobs and lynchings as well as providing that the sheriff lose his job or any peace officer who fails to do his duty. Kansas laws are properly interpreted and she has no petty judges who hold one thing for one class of citizen and another for the other. If he be Iolored Southern senthment cannot win in the courts of Kansas. The sooner the South puts fair officers on the judicial bench who will decide cases on law and merit, and not on color the sooner that section will prosper. ASKS BOARD TO HOLD DALLOT Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 20.—Secretary of State Smith today announced that he had asked the Hamilton county board of electors not to destroy its primary election ballots. He said reports had come to him alleging more votes were cast for some candidates, both Republican and Democrat in some precincts than were counted for them. Secretary Harvey C. Smith, Hon. Harry Clay Smith, Congressman Knight and Mr. Durand, all candidates for the Republican nomination for Governor, are said to have been given a "raw deal" in Cincinnati and Dayton, particularly by the local Republican organizations representative in the booths of those cities—Cleveland, Ohio, Gazette. Negro Bank Receives Excellent Rating Louisville, Ky., Sept. 18.—The American Mutual Savings Bank, a Race institution, located here, received a rating of "excellent" from the State Bank Examiners for the first half of 1922. Such ratings as this go a long way toward dispelling doubt in the minds of Colored people as to the ability of members of their race to conduct financial institutions. Such a racing is to be especially commended when it is known that the officers and employees of a bank is never advised of the visit of the State Banking Officials. PREACHES CLOSING SERMON --- Sunday night, Sept. 17th, Rev. A. A. Allen preached his closing sermon for this year to a large and appreciative audience, thus closing his second successful year as pastor of St. Mark A. M. E. church. In all reports for the year, he went over the top. Under the pastorate Rev. Allen, St. Mark has had a wonderful growth. Many members have been added, and splendid financial work has been done proving that he is the right man in the right place. He is full of pep and energy. This is what the church needs—wide awake young men. Rev. Allen will leave Wednesday morning for his Annual Conference at Lawrence. We hope for his return.—W. Hodison, Reporter.

NICK CHILES CALLS ATTEN TION OF RAILROAD OFFICIALS TO LAXITY OF EMPLOYES Continued from page one into the apartment where the women sit or if the employees themselves happen to be in that section they ask the Colored passengers to go into the next. Boarding train No. 43 on May 5, 1922, for El Reno, we asked the conductor where the Colored passengers got on. He said at the front end, where he was standing. There we found a news butcher blocking the entrance unloading his goods. We protested that we should have to stand and wait for some time before we could board the train while white passengers were entering and finding seats. There were no steps at the car and the conductor seemed very arrogant. We boarded the train and found the smoking compartment half filled with white men and we called the conductor's attention to the fact that the laws of the state were being violated and that if a Colored man should attempt to ride in a white coach it would cause a riot, and he indignantly told us to go back into the coach for women. We said no, that we wanted to ride where we were seated. He exclaimed in a loud voice, showing his displeasure: "You must be from Kansas!" We replied yes; he then said that if we said anything more he would force us out of there into the next apartment. On boarding the train from Chickasha to Lawton there were no steps at the Colored entrance and we attempted to board the train where the whites were entering to go to the Colored apartments and the brakeman said we could not use that entrance. We called his attention to the fact that there were no steps and he remarked that the railroad company should furnish a porter as there was not enough help to handle the passengers. We called the conductor'a attention to this condition and he made a similar remark as the brakeman. We found on most of the trains of the Rock Island in Oklahoma that the train crew paid very little attention to Colored passengers, especially Colored women with children or gentlemen with baggage. They put no steps down for them to get on or off and we saw a woman come near being seriously injured because of the steps' height. We must say that on two or three trains we did find some gentlemanly conductors and train crews who put steps down and assisted the Colored women on. There is a general complaint among the Colored people all over Oklahoma as to the mistreatment of Colored passengers by the Rock Island system. At Andarko the wife of Mr. Joha Shaw, who has one of the best furniture houses in that town and owns other businesses and does considerable shipping, informed us that some two years ago she was a passenger every week from Andarko to El Reno where she was receiving medical attention and that a news butcher continued to harass her and attempt to sell her fruit and other things and that she repeatedly refused to buy or have anything to say. She alleges that her purse lay on her lap and contained nearly $25.00 and that as DO YOU KNOW THIS MAN! If anyone knows the whereabouts of William Charles Vernon please write Oma L.

Write to dav to the Goodyear Mfg. Co., 5727 B-Goodyear Bldg. Kansas City, Mo. the train neared El Reno, she missed her purse. She complained to the conductor and he had some Colored passengers who had boarded the train after the complaint had been made, searched and examined, accusing them of having the purse. These Colored passengers had boarded the train probably at the station before El Reno, and Mrs. Shaw repeatedly told the conductor that they were not connected with the purse in any way, as none had had any chance to take it except the news vendor. The conductor paid no heed, nor did he attempt to investigate any further an. the news butcher was allowed to go without being searched. The purse was afterward found in the yards at El Reno. They say this vendor was changed to some other run. None of the officials of the road has ever written her a line making an apology or reporting an investigation just to whether this butcher had it or not. Mr. Shaw is a prominent business man of Andarko, and if any of your officers will call upon him, he and his wife will verify this statement. He is a patron of the Rock Island and a great shipper. You will find upon investigation from the prominent Colored people of Oklahoma who are patrons of the Rock Island that every sentence in this complaint is true. We would be glad if you would employ Colored secret service men and a few white ones who are not classed with this outfit you have in Oklahoma to investigate these conditions as they are being carried on by the employes of the road who are drawing pay and who should be interested in the welfare of the road. We are calling the Board of Directors' attention to these facts because we know they want the road to have first class reputation and the good will of the patrons. We are also hearing the Colored people asy, who are travelling long distances and riding the Rock Island, that unless they get better service, they will not patronize this system unless they have to, because of the conditions complained of. A little secret work with general orders that the law of the state be complied with, as well as the rules of the company, will end all of these complaints. I am doing this not only for the god of the Race but for the good of your company and the community at large as well. There seems to be a little hatred among the ignorant and illiterate elas of whites toward Colored people, but the school houses and colleges will soon eradicate this, we hope.

Gorman, President of the Company, at Chicago. I know that Mr. Gorman will investigate this matter thoroughly, and look into each of the specific instances you mention where Colored people have not been properly treated by employs of the Rock sland lines. In the meantime, I want to thank you on behalf of Mr. Hayden, and through him, of the Board for calling these matters to our attention, and for the very kindly and temperate manner in which your letter is written. Naturally, in a large organization there will always be complaints and instances of inattention on the part of employees, but we try to reduce those on the Rock Island to a minimum, and are glad to have your very cooperative suggestions. Undoubtedly you will hear from Mr. Gorman in a few days. Yours truly. Vice President and General Counsel. Chicago, Illinois, May 23, 1922.

The Wsie Old OWL says— That young man who only receives sixteen dollars per week, has but one suit, and who pays eight dollars per week for board and lodging, had better be thinking about an overcoat for the winter. He is known all over town among the "flappers" as a "good spender" but when winter comes and snows begin to fall these same little misses will be among the first to scorn and make fun of him because he looks so odd without an overcoat. --- Do you know the "brainless wonder" whose only conversation is centered around girls and the assertion that they are all crazy about him because of his ability to dance and to contribute to John D.'s millions? Did it ever strike you as a peculiar thing that none of these "crazy girls" ever become quite "crazy" enough to take him unto themselves "for better or worse? The Old Owl knows a lady who knows something on everybody in town. You can't call anyone's name without being told of some scandal that same person was mixed up in several years ago. Call the gas wagon. Would that young man be so enthusiastic about marrying that young lady if he knew how she conducted herself while away on her vacation? But on the other hand would that young lady think as much of that young man if she knew how he was "chasing 'em" while she was gone? Say young fellow, you should be careful how you attempt to engage in flirtation with strange young ladies when they just arrive in town. There are several married men in town whose wives you have never seen, and some of them have nervous fingers.—Get me? Go to church Sunday, and sit with the righteous; it will do you good.

The Uvion Picnic given at Soden's Park the first Sunday of the month was well attended and thoroughly enjoyed by everyone. Baskets were well filled with all the edibles of the season, fried chicken being first. Preaching services were conducted at the Pavilion at 11 o'clock by Rev. Everett, and at 3 o'clock by Rev. Watson and at 8 o'clock by Mrs. John Knox. All sermons were splendid and instructive. Out of town guests from Strong City and Americus were gladly welcomed. They came in cars. The Kansas State Normal School is open and the town is alive with students again. We had a good, heavy rain here last Friday and Saturday which rehere. The weather is cool and very lieved the expressive heat and dust pleasant since the rain, plenty of fall coats everywhere. Sunday morning at Eleven o'clock, Rev. C. N. Watson of St James Baptist church, will preach a special sermon to the aged members of the church. Everybody is welcome—and bring someone with you. Mr. Tobe Ball who was badly burned some weeks ago is gradually improving at the Newman Hospital. His brother, Harrison, of Omaha, Nebraska, is in town, visiting relatives and friends.

Mrs. Sue Barber, who has been very sick for the last two weeks, is much improved at this time. —Mrs. A. L. Davison, Reporter. Mason's Musings By J. E. Mason, Muakogee, Okla. The fairs that are being held in the various communities have much greater effect than the many hallucjah carp meetings. We should be better Christians, but these many associations have developed into a mercenary grab. We want the ballot. The donations to Negro schools, churches and institutions by the white man don't suffice for the loss of the ballot by crooked legislation. The Negro race needs more self respect. To continue spending your money where you are denied a soda or any kind of soft drink only shows our slavish spirit. This is indeed a campaign where the Negro is not an issue. The man who attempts to drag the race question into the campaign will be defeated. Slowly but surely we are learning to resent insults of this nature. What we need in Muskogee most is a park where Colored children can go and exercise like other children. To be continued under such conditions betrays our weakness. The same is true about having a white guardian for Negro children. It is against the treaty for such things to be. We should start a fight. It would be considered sacreligious to express the truth about our deceased high church men. But we hope the followers of the two factions of the Baptist church will get together. This is an age of deceit, flattery, craftiness, and graft. To be honest is to be old-fashioned. To be virtuous is to be lonesome. The best way to start is to start at the beginning, so let us all join the Commercial Club and make a fight for Negro guardians. While automobiles have long ap passed the stages of luxury, yet they have contributed more to sin immorality, poverty, divorces, ignorance than all the saloons since the civil war. Much of the hardness of the times is caused by these gas wagons. Miss Alice Robertson, our present Congresswoman will fall-to return to Congress on account of her vote against the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. The Negroes of this district will vote to a man against her. The fight against white insurance agents in Negro homes is doing much good. Either appoint a Negro agent or stay away. We just don't like the familiarity it causes between Colored women and the white men. The big noise on North Second is caused by a woman who has been initiated into the mystic work of a pulpit acrobat. She is getting hers after she has divided with the local pastor. Same old stuff. Just a change of sex. The wise men were brought into court this week by some of their dissatisfied members. It seems that the Worthy Ruler, H Hodges, have the boys "on his hip." Any way the public will know something about the handling of the funds. Let the U. B. F. come next. It seems that the Negro fraternal orders are skating on this ice. Around and around we are going like Hobby horses without getting anywhere. All of which is caused by not being able to vote. No one respects a people who cannot vote. Get the ballot and we will settle the race question. The whole thing rests on the ballot and the desire to obtain it The business league is doing some very effective work. Many of the leading Negroes of the city will support J. C. Walton for Governor. BARTLESVILLE, OKLAHOMA Attorney L. H. Brewer of Mushogee, was in the city last week on business. Mrs. A. A.

But never mind; just watch the women “go for” the editor of that sheet. The Pittsburg Courier asks if im- morality exists in the “JIill District” af Pittsburg. The said “Hill Dis- trict” being that ecction of the city largely inhabited by Negroes. I only rise to ask the Editor of the Courier Why it is necessary for him to asi uch n question. Is he, together with his co-workers, too proud to mingle with the common Ferd long enough to find out? Or is he trying to make the outside world look upon “The Steel City” as a commumty devoid of ‘vila go common to cities of that size? Unless conditions have changed duv- ing the past two years, there is a plenty of immorality to be found or the “Hill” in Pitteburg, But then, maybe the Couricr lives in the Tost End and docen't go down town often enough to {carn of conditions as they exist on the “FU.” Do Colorid people get what they want? Apparently they do—in polt- t'es, Judging from they way they vote, Right here In Kansas a Colored man by the name of A. C. Cartwright, ran for the Republican nomination for In- rurance Commissioner, a state office, and got over 17,000 sotes, It has been raid that if he had received the Color. ed vote in its entirety, he would have been nominated. But the Colored pev- ple did not want a Colored man for Insuranee Commissioner. WIFE WANTED--Age 35 to 413 yeats old, I have a good job. Address A, O'Dell, Calipatria, California, ——— i .
