Organizes Democratic Clubs Among the Negroes and Proposes to publish "The Western Organzcr." M W Williams, a colored democrat is here to start a n-gro paper to advocate the principals of democracy. He presents a very respectable appearance and says he has monhis enterprise and will proceed ey to put it on its feet if he can be assured of $25 a week from local sources. Williams says "I am a democrat and have been walking over the country working among my race in the interest of democracy and I now have a club with a membership of 2,000 who have pledged themselves to support the democratic tickle, in the fall campaign." He further says the negroes over the country are awakening to the fact, that they are being used for political purposes only by the republicans and that they are getting tired of it.

On this declaration of principles all classes and all nationalities of citizenship are earnestly invited to align themselves with the partv of progress and prosperity.—Muskogee Democrat. Williams says he intends to continue his work of organizing the negroes into democratic clubs even though he is not able to get sufficient encouragement to start his paper. The name proposed for the new paper is "The Western Organizer." The clubs organized, according to Williams, bear this same name and are all among the negroes in the rural districts.-Tulsa Guide.

Muskogee Democrat. Responsibility for Atlanta Some of the responsibility for Atlanta outbreak must be charged to the yellow politicians and the yellow press of that section. Hoke Smith has just carried Georgia for the governship nomination on a platform which calls for the suppression of the negro as a voter. This policy was openly proclaimed during his twelve AFTER 20 YEARS Copyright 1906, by The Mouse of Kuppenheimer Experience I KNOW B.

During that entire year the basest sort of appeals were made by many newspapers, and politicians to the race spirit, with the result that Smith carried 120 out of the 145 counties of the state. His purpose, avowed freely throughout the campaign, is to go just as far in abolishing the negro as a voter as the federal constitution will let him. While that canvass was under way there were appeals here and there in Georgia for the revival of the Kluklux Klan, of infamous memory. Ostensiblv, the Kuklux was advocated as a remedy for assaults by black men on white women. It is said that there have been many assalts of this kind in Atlanta in the past few weeks. But what were Atlanta's authorities doing while these assaults were being openly committed? Atlanta is the capital of one of the great states. It has a population about 100,000, presumably it has a full quota of churches and schools. It has a police force which ought to be able to deal with all the criminals, black and white, in its jurisdiction. If the Kuklux have to be revived to curb the black criminals, and if, as a preliminary, a few hundred or a few thousand white savages are to be permitted to get control of the city, and to murder innocent blacks just because they are blacks, then Atlanta's authorities make a cowardly confession of impotency and imbecility. In the midst of this crisis a few featherheads emerge to add to the confusion, and to invite further outbreaks? To the extent of his opportunity and ability, John Temple Graves is as dangerous an enemy of his community as William L Yancy ever was. Graves' deportation of 10,000,000 black men is very nearly as vicious a proposition as was Yancey's advocacy of the separation of the south's 12,000,000 of whites and blacks from the rest of the country. Unlike Yancey, Graves does not urge the disruption of the government and the overthrow of the Union, but he advocates a policy which would if it could be carried out, throw his whole section into industrial collapse, turn back civilization for many decades, and inflict almost as much aumiliation and disaster upon it as Yancey's rebellion entailed. The country will applaud Atlanta if she deals out just as swift and just as severe punishment to the black assailants of white women (and to white culprits also) as the law prescribes, but this ought to be done by the law and not by the mob. Incidentally, too, Georgia and the rest of the states should muzzle the disturbers like Graves who are firing the southern heart and inciting such Apache outbreaks as those which have been taking place in and around Atlanta in the past few days.—Globe-Democrat.

Friendship between man and man is not a product of political culture but the result of social affinity and business affiliation. Some republicans are good friends to the ambitious, energetic and intelligent negro but all of the negro's friends are not republicans by any means. Many negroes of this county have strong and lasting ties of honorable and helpful friendships with their democratic neighbors and their interests are mutually identical. Why should they stand apart on account of a little local partisan silliness? Our advice to all negroes is that they stand by their known friends all the time, every where and in every honorable way. We would have them be sensible. Issues of half a century ago must not figure so prominently in our political contest here in Pettis county, since the relations existing between the races here are very amicable. Neither republican nor democrat deserve all of the credit for this happy condition. But both parties merit some of this credit and both parties should be given fair and unprejudiced consideration by the negro. Back men must weigh all men, white and black, on the balances of their manly worth and their ability and desire to serve all of the people. Don't let any man, white or black, vote you but vote yourself for your own personal interests. Vote for principle and by so doing you will maintain the honor of your people. Allow no clique or gang to barter with your suffrage franchise. By acting as manly men, we may hope to be treated as men. The Atlanta Horror Presents a Blessing.

We grant that is with great my sunshine amid such dark and awesome cl southern daily events, during the dreadful Our readers may be surprised to note in the above caption that the writer has seen a blessing as a consequence of the Atlanta reign of terror and bloodshed. We grant that is with great difficulty for us to see any sunshine amid such dark and awesome clouds that enveloped the southern daily events, during the dreadful hours of the Atlanta Horror. The awfulness of the situation aroused the public conscience of the conservative citizens, the bone and sinew of southern progress, as never before, during the past forty years. Southern citizens are using more sense now. Prejudice is being confronted openly and tearlessly by common sense. What do we find? While the sane and conservative citizens of Atlanta were busy delivering it from the clutches of anarchy, outlawry and bloodshed, the sensible and lawabiding citizens, white and black, throughout the south were earnestly seeking to learn the causes that resumed in such detriment to the south's industrial, social and progressive well being. As a result, they have located and designated some of the most prominent causes. Yellow journals—newspapers that devote energies to ferretting out the black and ugly deeds of the most deeply dyed criminals among the negroes in order that they may get out Special Editions, urging the rabble to resort to the methods of the flandish past. Yellow preachers—men, who from the sacred altar tell their hearers that black men are brutes. Ministers who deem it no crime to lynch negroes. Preachers who write books and plays and magazine articles in which they misinterpret the negro's aspirations along conjugal, social and political lines. Yellow orators—office seekers and selfish politicians who cater to the envy and prejudices of the unscrupulous whites, by abusing the unfortunate or worth less negroes. Yellow teachers—men and women who instill it into the minds of the southern school children to hate and mistrust all negroes. Such are the sources from whence come these shameful disorders. Southern men have located and designated these evils, and we are happy to note that they have resolved to stay the march of these influences, cost what it may. As evidence of their desire to check these evil influences, they have begun to debar Thomas Dixon's infamous Clansman from many southern cities, especially in Georgia. Many officials of many cities have branded that play as a trouble breeder and they are dealing with it, as all such evils should be dealt, with an iron fist. They have decided to call down the work of the Yellow Journalists of that section. Newspapeos should be free to build public sentiment at will, provided, they do not endeavor to build a sentiment among the people to disregard the laws of our land or to incite one element of the people to murder and bersecute their fellow citizens merely to satiate their race prejudice. John Temple Graves, Hoke Smith and their entire coterie of fire brands have, at last, overstepped the limits of common sense and common decency and as a consequence they are bringing shame, humiliation, disgrace, dishonor and the displeasure of an angry God upon the entire southland, in their satanic efforts to crush the spirit of manly aspiration out of the negro. They have made him suffer all manner of humiliations. He has borne them all with patient for bearance. Let us look the result of all these matters squarely in the face and weigh it for what it is worth. Who are the worse sufferers from mob violence, the victims of the mob's fury or the conservative and progressive citizens of the community where the mob ran at will? For a reply, ask the best citizens of Springfield, Ohio, Spring field, Missouri, Brownsville, Texas, Salisbury, North Carolina, Atlanta, Georgia and a score of other places. Business stagnation, social disorders and mob violence invariably effect, hurtfully, the conservative citizens, because they have something at stake. what does the mob fiend care about the reputation of the community, county, state or section where he operates his savage antics, since he counts for nothing in the higher social, commercial and progressive circles anywhere he may go. He hates the wealthy and prosperous among his own people as severely as he does the negro. But fear restrains him. He hates law and order. Therefore he must be disciplined. Who is now and has been for three centuries the mainstay of southern industrial, domestic and agricultural life? Who profits most by his stay in the south, he, the mob promoter or the industrious, intelligent and law abiding citizens? If he be outlawed, cowered, beaten, driven out or annihilated, will the fire eaters take his place upon the plantation, in the shops, about the homes and in the confidence of the conservative citizens? Will southern society- american society, submit to the domination of mob promoters, law descrractors and constitution breakers? The same and thinking people of the south are now brought face to face with the above mentioned propositions. Prejudice and the torch may intensify their significance but they can never settle them because the method is wrong. Upon a standard of common sense and justice, the true american standard, may these questions be per manently answered. Atlanta is making southern men use sense. The south must either submit to the will of her fire eaters and destroy the negro or compel her trouble breeders to observe law and order. The latter proposition is the only one upon which the american people and the people of the world can favorably consider. The visible opposition to Dixon's Clansman and the energetic reprimand given the yellow journals of the south by the Atlanta Grand Jury are blessings that have come as a direct result of the aggitation produced by the Atlanta Horror and Reign of Anarchy.

Subscribers who do not give express notice to the contrary are considered as wishing to continue subscriptions. 2. If subscribers order the discontinuance of a their periodical, the publisher may continue to send it until all arrearages are paid 3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take their periodicals from the post office to which they are directed, they are responsible until they have settled their bills and ordered them stopped. 4. If the subscriber moves to another place without informing the publisher, and the papers are sent to the former directions, he is held responsible. 5. The courts have decided that the refusing to take periodicals from the post office, or removing and leaving them uncalled for is prima facie evidence of international fraud. 6. If subscribers pay in advance, they are bound to give notice to the publishers, at the end of their time, if they do not wish to continue it, otherwise the publisher is authorized to send it, the subscriber will be held responsible until an express notice with payment of arrearages is sent to the publisher. 7. The latest postal laws are such that newspaper publishers can arrest any one for fraud who takes a paper and refuses to pay for it. Under this law the man who allows his subscription to run along for some time, unpaid, and then orders the postmaster to mark it "refused," and has a card sent notifying the publishers, lays himself liable to arrest and fine the same as for theft, etc. lard have gone to Oklahoma home seeking. Rev D Payton has returned home to California. Nearly all of the Salt Pond people are attending the State Fair at Sedalia. Henry Burton has sold his 80 acre farm at $67 50 per adre, and expects to go to Oklahoma in the spring. Miss Ella Shooemaker, who was visiting Mrs Edna Payton of Salt Pond, has returned to her home in Troy, Kansas. Georgia. Shuts out Incendiaries. The mayor of Macon, Georgia, has forbidden the presentation of Rev. Thomas Dixon's Clansman in that town. Other places in that state in which the play had been booked are taking like action. The present indications are that the play will be excluded from Georgia for this season. The same people of the state are against its production there this year, or ever a gain. They will have public sentiment all over the country in their favor if they stop its presentation. Dixon is a yellow preacher, and his play is a sort of glorification of the Kuklux Klan. It extols lynchers of negroes. The orgies in Atlanta a few days ago, if they had taken place a few years earlier, would have found a champion in Dixon, and would have been staged in his drama of blood. May of the conservative southern papers condemned the play when it first appeared on the road, and denounced Dixon. So long as these things, however, did not interfere with the presentation of the play, Dixon did not care. He is in the show business for the gate receipts, and he cares nothing if his show incites murder so long as it brings him money. In High Grade Portraits. In Oil, from Life, $40 up.

BROOKS, Artist, 1512 North Fifth Street, KANSAS CITY, KANSAS TO REPUBLICANS: We are anxious to have every Republican in close touch, and working in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress. The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign. We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subscriptions of One Dollar each from Republicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Campaign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee. Help us achieve a great victory. JAMES S. SHERMAN, Chairman. P O.

LEXINGTON. : : MO THE MKT AND MISSORHAMMAN'S TEXAS RAILWAY For full information see C M JACOBS, P & T A., shutting the show out of towns in which it had been booked, the same people of the south hits. Dixon in a spot that hurts. In every community the level headed and lawabiding element is in the preponderance. It is in the preponderance in Atlanta and in every other town in Georgia. The same is true of all parts of the south and of the whole country. But in every community there is an element of reckless and thou- less persons, who, reenforced by the professional lawbreakers are quick to seize pretexts for murder and loot. That ingredient of the of the Atlanta populace got the up per hand for a few days, and dealt a hard blow to the city's trade and social prestige. But the same majority of the population are now asserting themselves, and fire brands like Dixon find their occu- pations outlawed. Now, If Atlanta besides suppressing its black criminals, would muzzle or deport its white incendiaries, the social quarantine against that city would be quickly raised. St. Louis Globe Democrat.
