SHAW RAPE CASE. What the Negro Race Lovers Must Do, To Assist Prosecuting Attorney Kelly in bring Shaw to Justice for Raping the little Arnold Girl, sometime ago. THE VOLUMN IX SHAW RAP Comes Up Again in this What the Negro Race Lovers Must Do ney Kelly in bring Shaw to Justi Arnold Girl; som THAT SHAW CASE. Days, weeks and months has passed over the heads of thousand of proud Sedalians since the helpless crime was committed on the little 11 year old girl of Mary Arnolds, a poor and outcast mother and daughter, by a white man known as "Shaw." It has been so long that it naturally appears to him and many others, that the public interest in the case had died out and the main witness is out of the way and he now has a chance to escape justice. But the day of trial is drawing near at hand, and it has not been forgotten by our noble Prosecuting Attorney, who we are satisfied will do his part in bringing this criminal to justice, let we believe that there is something that can be did among the colored people that will give him more power and enough support and assistance to battle with the army of able attorneys employed by Shaw to hide his crime. But let him employ who ever he may, if he did commit this crime, of which there is not a shadow of a doubt, he is then a dangerous man and that our little daughters are in danger. And if the facts are told in the case there is no reason to earth why he should not be punished, and that to the fullest extent of the law. Just think, what shame it would be upon our city so let the world know that these good broad-hearted people would turn a man loose who committed much crime upon any little girl, let her be white or black, rich or poor. It would have made no difference in the color of the girl, nor from what kind of a family she would have belonged if a Negro had of committed this crime. He would not have the pleasure of walking the streets today, for he would have been mobbed and burnt and mangled of today. We don't say him or anyone else, but it is reasonable that he should get all that the law of justice could pile upon him, without regard to his wealth, color or even his gray hair. The question arrises in the mind of a number of white people, is that are the colored people going to do, and are they going to let it by un-noticed, or will they put their fund and raise money and employ a lawyer to help Mr Kelly to bring the guilty criminal to justice. A part of this battle depends on the actions of the colored NEW ple of this city, and if they fail to make an attempt to defend this poor girl they need not be surprised at the result. We can only say: Shame upon such race loving Negroes who boasts so much upon what they are and how well they love their race, and then see such an outrage on a poor little colored girl and not do or give anything to help protect her or prosecute the guilty party. The time has come for these race men to show their colors or hereafter hold their peace on the race question. Mrs ANNA WRIGHT AT HOME. Mrs Anna Wright. one of our leading young ladies, and an accomplished teachers, who is a graduate of our Lincoln school, returned to her home is this city on last Monday and will spend a part of her vacation with her parents Mr and Mrs Solomon Dixson at 106 West Cooper st. The TIMES is always proud to speak words of prafse of one of our home girls who has graduated in our own pub lic school, and under its careful management and skillful teachers, who has launched forth in the field of educating our little ones, and has made such success and progress as this young lady has and as others are doing. We can say for Mrs Wright, that, she has been climbing the ladder of success ever since she was given her diploma, and in every school or town she has taught in stand open hands and welcome hearts welcoming her again. Her record as a lady and a school teacher. goes to prove that success can and will come to those who try, whether they are a college graduate or not. We again congratulate her in her effored and do trust that success will continue to follow her in her new field at Columbia next year. WARFIELD SELLS OUT. Felix Warfield has sold out his interest in the Warfield & James restaurant, 113 E Main street, who recently purchased the interest of Saul Banks of the same plaee, Mr. James is a first-class restaurant man and an expert coek, and has every facility to make it a successful restaurant.

The world is demanding today more than ever—strong men, men of sound bodies, active brains, tireless energies, Our race above all others is demanding men of courage moral and physical. These essentials, to future development can only come from our young men. In the radius of which Kansas City, St Joe and Topeka are a center, will be found over 100,000 Negroes of whom probably 30 per cent are young men in the pride of vigorous manhood; an army if properly marshalled and directed capable of conquering every obstacle to racial development in this western community, and placing Negro manhood and womanhood high in the estimation of the world's workers who admire and respect the race that conquers. This class of men cannot be developed through external agencies. The most potent agency for the develop- of men, strong morally and physically is through chivalry. Some methods must be devised to bring the young men of the race more closely in contact with the real church work. The reacbing out after young men, the ability to adapt church to the peculiar tendencies of the time and still maintain its fundamental purpose—the betterment of humanity constitutes the real test of usefulness of a religious organization. Our churches must be able to impress upon the minds of the young men that the daily work and church work must go hand in hand. That the application of energy and useful trades and industries is a large part of man's christian duty, that the old doctrine of "take all the world but give me Jesus" has forever to slumber in the death ohamber above with a hall of burning brimstone. The Negro needs industrial and commercial develop ment. The theory that life is made up of having a good time through questionable and reprehensible amusements must be exploded. Today there are many places in small business ventures among our people open to our young men and women if they could be found who would feel a sufficient interest in business to be gin on small salaries and devote their energies to the expanding of business to the point where it would be bound to pay them we l feel the brains and labor invested. The working out of this problem is for our leaders. Will they take hold of t.—Ex. Rev Deboe returned home Saturday. Mrs Lue Johnson was dowff from Kansas City and spent a few days with friends E.

W. Hillis.of New York City, in a Sermon referred to the disfranchisement of the Negro voters inthe Southern states, and among other things said: “tf the Negro is to be disfranchised on ac- count of his illiteracy, it is but just and right that the million illiterate white voters of those states be also disfranchised.’’ The Sentinel, on its editorial page, takes issue with the Rev. Hicks, and in its aitempt to poke fun at him shows a wonder- ful lack of common sense and a large amount of Negrophobia. It might not be out of place to sug- gest to the Sentinel that all truth, all verity and all that is right is of divine origin, and when the Senti- nel tries to slur Negro suffrage by calling it a divine institution, he unintentionally states a fact wh.ch covers every American citizen, even the3soo illiterate foreigners that his party enfranchised in St. Louis one night in 52 minutes.

Roosevelt’s administration by the Ohio State Convention, was reciev- ed with general satisfaction by the lovers of justice and right, The issue was forced by Senator For- aker of Ohio, and Marcus doubtles saw his finish; and like a good gen- eral and a wise politician he sub- mitted to the inevitable. Last Tuesday a Negro who had been charged with an assault upon a white woman, was saved from the stake by the prompt action of the Militia which kas been sent to the scene by the governor, which fact proves that there are some good white folks in Texas. The Negroes of Texas should have an hour of prayer and thanksgiving for the timely interference of the decent white people of their state, Every true, genuine American loves his flag, the ensign of liberty, the ever glorious emblem whose ample fold covers the head of every citizen with equal protec- tion, The common people of every Party, every creed and every na tionality endorse these sentiments with enthusiasm, and therefore the little, insignifieant newspaper or individual who tries to create sen. timent derogatory to these well established facts is but little less than am anarchist, SSUMMER TOURIST RATES.

A HUNTER ROOMING HOUSE 242 West Pacific Street Southern Representation Should Be Reduced If the South Disfranchise the Colored Voter. It is an inevitable fact that if the Supreme Court of the United States should sustain the Alabama state's new constitution and the new constitution of North Carolina in disfranchising the colored people, especially if they hold that the grand father is good, then the colored people and their white friends should demand that the 14th amendment to the constitution should beenforced, and the representation in Congress and electoral college should be reduced to the exact number of qualified voters in such states. The 14th amendment reads as follows: SPAULLING OFFICIAL - LEAGUE BA L. "Whenever the right to vote at any election for electors of president or vice president, or for United States representatives in congress, executive and judicial officers, or members of the legislatures thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state being 21 years of age and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens 21 years of age in such state. Everything That is right in BASE BALLS, BATS, GLOVES, MITTS and Masks, You want the best for your money, see Us. -Of Gasoline Stoves- It is true that this amendment has never been enforced heretorfore, but the north and especially the Republican party thought that the south would eventually grant the right of franchise to the colored man, but now there seems but little hope for them to do so. Mr. W. E. Curtis, one of the most influential writers of the Chicago Record-Herald, gives some election tables that shows the violation of the 14th amendment and the injustice done the voter of the north. We here-with present that table. The rate at the last election is as follows: Illinois S. Car.
