THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT REV. SAM P. JONES ON LYNCHING. Interviewed On The Negro By W. N. Miller, Editor of The Wichita Searchlight. GIVES HIS VIEWS ON LYNCHING, AND THE FUTURE HOPE OF THE NEGRO W. N. Miller, Editor of the Searchlight, in company with S. O. Clayton called on Rev. Sam P. Jones at his room in the Hamilton hotel last Monday and obtained from this distinguished and renowned gentleman his opinion on several very important questions relative to the American Negro. By appointment they repaired to the Hamilton at 6:30 p. m. and sent their cards up to the room of Rev. Sam Jones and waited for an answer; in a few moments the bell boy returned with a reuest from Rev Jones that they be shown his room. They went up and found the distinguished gentleman quiet enjoying an after supper smoke. Rev Jones greeted them with all the courtesy possible, and invited them to take a seat and make themselves at home. After a few brief preliminary remarks in which the callers complimenedt him upon his afternoon temperance lecture, the object of the call was stated. In stating the object of visit Mr. Miller said, "Rev. as American citizens, we deplore and condemn the lynch law, and would be pleased to obtain your views on the same." "So do all good citizens deplore lynching" said Rev. Jones. "I have spoken my mind, North, South, East and West against it. Mobs and mob-law are the last resorts of anarchy and misrule. If the person lynched is a criminal and a thousand persons lynch him, then we have a thousand and one criminals instead of one. I have often been asked, 'What would you do, Jones, if your daughter had beed outraged by a fiend?' I have always replied, 'I am no standand. It is not a question of what I would do, or what any man would do, but the only question is, What would Jesus Christ do, and what did he teach us to do?' The main fight I have made against mobs is the fact, that so far as my knowledge goes, from Adam down to the present hour, the mob never has lynched any man who had money or friends, and who was, therefore, likely to be acquited by the courts but the victim has always been a defenseless Negro or a poor white man. I have sometimes been threatened by the mob, myself, but I have told them that I was not afraid of a mob, because I had money and friends both, and they would have to go back on the record from Adam down, to lynch me. There is no excuse or palia tion for the diabolical crime of rape. A mob can execute vengeance but a mob constitutes a very poor court and jury to determine the guilt or innocence of the prisone at the bar." Rev. Jones was then asked his opinion on "The Future Hope of The Negro." Does it lay in education or immigration. He said: "The Negro has an unequal start in this country, therefore, therefore he has unequal advantages. His chances in this country are not the best country are not the best. It is not in education, because there are only two callings open to the educated Negrces: one is teaching and the other's preaching. The professions are largely closed against him; in clerkship and in railroad life, he knows of no promotion above that of track hand or fireman. Whatever may be said concerning the superiority or inferiority of races, I am candid when I say that the colored man in America labors under disadvantages which he will not overcome in his race with the white man. He can make a good citizen; he can make a good living; he can make a good character, and with these three vantage grounds there is no cause for dispair. My contends both North and South have been that a white man or a Negro who has neither character, cash nor credit, has no more business at the polls voting than a government mule." Rev. Jones was then asked his opinion of the effect liquor has on the race. He said: "The colored man's worse enemy is liduor. If I had the money which the colored people of the South have spent for liquor since freedom, I could buy every Negro family one hundred acres of land and put suitable buildings and stock the farm. Sober Negroes are never in trouble in courts, charged with crime. I have always advised the colored people of the South that the gang that debauches them, join in with the mob that lynches them; sobriety, industry and economy, furnish the stepping stones, not only for the white man, but the colored man as well." In the course a conversation, Rev. Jones expressed great admiration of the work being done by Booker T. Washington and complimented Mr. Washington's ambition. not his intent. He knew that this work formed and while correctly implicated wrectly, he was one o helped to form the it into execution. out with the pitiful he did his whole du he did. He did his he had previously a Rev. M, L, Copeland is improving A COMMENT ON LEAVENWORTH'S BURNING and Sheriff Everhardy. Wellington, Kansas, Jan. 20, 1901. To the law abiding citizens of Kansas, and the leaders of the Colored race: What are we going to do, and what can we say when the great state of Kansas allows an act to be committed within her borders that places her upon a level with the savages that were first discovered in America? I speak in regard of the disastrous mobing in Leavenwort of Fred Alexander at the hands of a mob of men who left civilization and went back to barberism, forgetting for a moment that the constitution of the United States of America provides within her statutes a protection clause for all of her citizens, regardless of race or color, and further more, considers all men innocent until lawfully proven guilty and that no man's life shall be placed in jeopardy during trial. Furthermore, the constitution provides that all officers are sworn to protect and defend parties intrusted to their care the full extent of the law and are required by law to take all advan tages offered to them to protect the lives of all citizens whether free or in custody and when they have reason to believe that there is violence contemplated against the individuals' lives, he shall proceed with caution to protect the parties in his charge, and any neglect on his part to perform his duty in any case, places him, in the eyes of the law-abiding citizens, as one who is unfit and disqualified to hold the office of protector of human life. Why did not Sheriff Everhardy consent to let the troops that Governor Stanley had notified to be ready to go to Leavenworth, come to help him protect the life of Fred Alexander until his guilt or innocence was established in open court? No, this was not his intent. He, I presume knew that this mob was already formed and while he was not directly implicated with them, indirectly, he was one of the party that helped to form the plan and place it into execution. Now he comes out with the pitiful assertion that he did his whole duty. I presume he did. He did his duty because he had previously agreed with the perpetrators of this disastrous mob to go and bring Alexander from a place of security to where they could get their hands on him, and then like a scoundrel makes pretense that he thought he could defend the prisoner from violence, while at the same time, in my judgmedt, and not only mine but other men's who believe in right. Everhardy knew that he was in heart with the contemplators that had decided to burn Fred Alexander. In fact he was the leader of that low degraded mob, because Alexander was safe from violence, and Everhardy lied in order to place him in the hands of a howling mob. Now he has the brazen assurance to say that if the militia had come to Leavenworth some innocent persons might have been killed. Why, was there not an innocent man killed? There was never any proof established that Fred Alexander was guilty of any crime, yet he was burned at the stake because he was a colored man The sheriff of Leavenworth county had no consideration for his prisoners life. O, not this man who had taken his oath to defend all persons committed to his custody, thought it not worth while that Alexander should have the proper protection. If he had thought so he would never deputize men who was howling for human life. Oh yes, Ever hardy is a sweet one. Now while I am not in favor of mob violence and of men being burn at the stake; yet I do say that this man Ever—hardy who styles himself as Sheriff of Leavenworth county, ought to be wrapped up in combustible matters and placed on a scaffold as high as Hamon's gallows and a match touched to him that he might illuminate the elements in order to warning to all Sheriffs that the law of Kansas saya, you must protect your prisoners, regardless to race or color. Let the law decide their guilt or innocence. Why do I make this bold assertion? Simply because Everhardy had the proper mean at his command to protect the fair name of Kansas from having a blot placed on her record that will fol low her into eternity. It is a shame and a disgrace that mob violence should find favor in the 'free state' GRAND MUSICAL AND LITERARY.

It is high time that the colored men of this city were coming together and making some stand for the forthcoming city election. There is no need of them waiting 'til the eleventh hour and then expecting to do "great wonders." The colored voters of this city have not their proper representation in the city government according to their voting strength. Why sit idly by and let all of your opportunities pass? The colored men of this city should expect and demand something more than a few paltry dollars during the campaign. They should stand up for representation in the various city offices. He should demand the re-establishing of the fire department, manned by good, sober, upright, colored men, and should not wait but start now to get it. The colored man who only hopes for a few cents during the election, should be relegated to the rear. All can not get offices, neither can all expect pay, but all should remember that every colored man who is appointed to a good position only opens the way for some other good colored man to get something. The colored voter here has been asleep too long; he should wake up, rub his eyes, look around, and he will be surprised to see the web that 1 being gradually wound around him in this place. Those saloon fellows who now refuse to serve a "Nigger" ar let him eat lunch in his place, may some day soon be glad to let "any old man" be served. The Negroes should help close all such places where the color line is drawn. We do not encourage our people to frequent saloons, but since they are allowed there should be no color line. TO WIPE OUT JOINTS. The temperance people held a mass meeting at Garfield hall Monday after noon, at which Rev. Sam P. Jones delivered a temperance lecture. The meeting was well attended and was overflowing in enthusiasm. Resolutions were passed and a high plan of action against the saloons was laid out. The resolutions called upon every minister in the city to preach a temperance sermon the first Sunday in February. There is no question that there is qnite a sentiment being raised against the saloon element in this city. It is to seen what the final results will be. It is standing a heap for a fellow to run a "joint" in violation of law and then have the nerve to draw the color line. We would like to see all such law-breakers run out of business entirely, Rev.and Mrs.A.C.Terrill made a very pleasant call at the home of Mr.and Mrs.A.C.

Although America has far surpassed every great nation in culture and refinement, yet in respect of human treatment, she is no exception to thos earlier and unenlightened nations that have used the life and rights of man in its most cruel forms. For instance,the Spaniards would revel amid the cries and shrieks of the victim whom they were torturing,But the American,that "most illustrious" man,whom,it seems,God has endowed with power of teaching the world,would not think of doing such an injustice of this kind to his fellow man.Oh know thee,American preachers,the great doctrine of the universal brotherhood of man!Has America not gone across the ocean,fought and convinced Spain that she was not she was not right in her cruel treatment of man? Why then should she not without going one single step,reason with and convince the Americans that they are wrong in their treatment of the Colored citizen.Even if one should be suspected of doing the almost inhumane act which victims have been accused,they should be dealt with acceding to law.In the neme of the great Jehova,how can such state of affairs exist? Is it possible just since the day of emancipation he so willingly and so readily took to such things?No it cannot be true since he is no more your property and you Continued on page Three ERIA COURT No.7.

No one ever knew what passed in that interview. Harvey briefly told his wife he had begged for forgiveness and gained it, but the old relations between Cladys and himself would never be renewed—she was through with the life of which he had been a part. When Helen threw herself in his arms in a passion of grief for having done him hurt while striving only for his benefit, he kissed her sadly. It was all a mistake, he said; he had been the more culpable of the two. Together they would take up life under the new conditions, never alluding to the errors of the past. He was very kind, very gentle; but there was that in his manner and look which told her Harvey, the boy, was dead, to make way for the grave, almost stern man who henceforth walked by her side through life, affectionate and true, yet with the ineffable quality that tinges the humblest marriage with romance forever stricken from his love. Within a year after her departure Gladys was married to a man slightly her junior, whose wealth doubled hers. Her beauty and vivacity made her the center of a wide social circle, and having been shut away from city pleasures so long she enjoyed them now with childlike enthusiasm. Engrossed in a bewildering happy present the past became to her a dream, and after the arrival of her first child, a half forgotten one. The house in Rockville was sold, and long years passed before she again saw Harvey. In the careworn man with stooping shoulders she found it difficult to recognize her once handsome boy. He was only forty, but life had gone hard with him. There were many mouths to feed at home, and all Helen's thrift could not make one dollar do more than the work of two. Long ago Gladys had wholly forgetten her grievances, but not the affection for which she had sacrificed so much. Even now, though she had many sons of her own, she loved her unfortunate boy too well to allow him to endure anything approaching privation, and with her husband's assistance secured to Harvey an annuity sufficient to place him and his family well above need. Phebe, an old woman then, grumbled when the news was told her; but really she was pleased; even her anger could not endure forever. And Harvey had been her boy as well as Gladys'. So all were in their way happy and content—all but one. It is hard for the covetous soul to come near to fortune yet never grasp it; and even when better days had dawned, and want was forever set at bay, the bitter knowledge that she had doomed her husband to a struggle with poverty that robbed him of youth and hope and ambition was with Helen Aberton all the days of her life. (The End.) ELECTRICAL REVOLUTION Possible to Send Thousands of Messages on the Same Wire. ELECTRICAL LOGOMOTIVES. LOCOMOTIVES. Berlin, Feb. 1.—Prof. A. Slaby, of the Berlin Technische Hochshule, in the course of a remarkable interview on the "Coming Electrical Revolution," which is to appear in the forthcoming number of a new periodical, asserts that his recent invention, multiplex wireless telegraphy, will produce a very great transformation in existing methods. It will be possible, he declares, to apply the principle to submarine cables in such a way as to send hundreds and even thousands of messages simultaneously upon the same wire, thus enormously cheapening rates. Prof. Slaby believes that the direct production of electricity from coal will be solved. Germany, he predicts, will be the foremost nation of the 20th century in technical production, and electricity will be the poor man's source of power and light. He is confident of the success of the electrical express locomotives now being constructed in Berlin for a speed of 200 kilometres an hour. An Extra Session Probable. Washington, Jan. 29.—That senators regard seriously the prospect of an extra session of congress, in view of the president's urgent recommendation of legislation concerning the Philippine islands, was shown by the activity of those who desire to avoid an extra session. Senators generally express the opinion that in case a meeting is called the Philippine question will receive the lion's share of attention. The Taft commission insist upon the early recognition of the civil rights of the Philippines and of a government for them other than military in form Manila, Feb. 1.—Forty sailors from the United States cruiser Albany, convicted of mutiny while the warship was in dock at Hong Kong, have been sentenced to various terms of imprisonment at Cavite The Crusade Grows. Kansas City, Jan. 31.—A special to to the Star says that twelve women wrecked four saloons at Anthony, Kansas, yesterday. Some of the husbands went along to protect their wives. Besides the liquor destroyed the damage is reckoned at $2,000. The raid was led by Mrs Sheriff, of Danville. The saloonkeepers had small stocks of liquor in their saloons; each having a warehouse elsewhere. Senator Clark Sued. Helena, Mont., Jan. 29.—Suit has been commenced against Senator W. A. Clark and his son to recover $9,750 for services in gathering evidence for Clark's side of the investigation by the United States senate committee. Harry Ringwald of Great Falls is the plaintiff. He alleges Clark agreed to pay him $10,000 and that he has received but $250. Banns For The Wedding. The Hague, Jan. 28.—An official of the ministry of justice has delivered at the town hall a formal deed, signed by Queen Wilhelmina and Duke Henry of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, declaring their desire to be united in matrimony. Flags were immediately hoisted on the town hall, all churches and other buildings. The banns were read for the first time Sunday, January 27. A NURSE'S STORY. A Graduate of Lakeside Hospital, Lake Geneva, Telis an Interesting Experience. Peshtigo, Wis., Jan. 26, 1901.—(Special.)—One of the most popular nurses that ever graduated from the Lakeside Hospital, Lake Geneva, is Miss Lillian Drees, of this place. Miss Dreese is the Vice Templar of the Independent Order of Good Templars, and organist of the Rebeccas of Peshtigo. During her twelve years' experience as a trained nurse she has had many opportunities for observation, and her opinion in all medical health matters is held in very high esteem by the thousands who have learned to know and love her. In speaking of her experience she says: "During my twelve years as a trained nurse I have often observed how many different physicians give their patients Dodd's Kidney Pills in cases of Diabetes and Kidney Trouble. About three years ago I myself suffered some months with a weakness and continual congested condition, and I decided to try what the Pills would do for me. I soon found that they built up the affected parts and restored harmony to the entire system, and although I often lose much sleep and rest while attending severe cases, I find that I was never in finer health nor had more endurance than since I have used these marvelous Pills."

In this workaday world few women are so placed that physical exertion is not constantly demanded of them in their daily life. Mrs. Pinkham makes a special appeal to mothers of large families whose work is never done, and many of whom suffer, and suffer for lack of intelligent aid. To women, young or old, rich or poor, Mrs. Pinkham, of Lynn, Mass., extends her invitation of free advice. Oh, women! do not let your lives be sacrificed when a word from Mrs. Pinkham, at the first approach of Mary Catherine MRS. CARRIE BELLEVILLE. weakness, may fill your future years with healthy joy.

ON THE BURNING OF FRED ALEXANDER AT LEAVENWORTH. The burning of Fred Alexander, a Negro, at the stake at Leavenworth Kansas, was evidently atrocious and a dam shame to humanity. When any community of people become so enraged and hostile that they will by force take a suspected man, and without allowing him a chance to prove his innocence in any way and burn him to stake, are worse than the inhabitants of the darkest jungles of Africa. In some way an end should be put to such hellish crimes. Appreciator, Ft. Smith, Aak. The burning of a black man at Leavenworth, Kan. is one of those horrors which we do not expect to happen in a civilized community. The Governor of Kansas so regards it, He did his duty. If the sheriff had done his, Kansas would not have the horror to its credit. They need a sheriff like Arkansas had in 1900, and we hope like Arkansas has now.—New York Age. It was in Leavenworth, where Fred Alexander, a Negro, accused of assaulting a young white woman. paid a fearful penalty. The stake, the faggots, the oil and then the match and the story is soon told, at which civilization shudders and humanity reverts to its first estate. The mad scramble for gruesome relics of a human holocaust, the tell-tale witnesses of the law's defiance, bespake a grovelling sentiment that augurs no good for the unhappy blacks. It would appear far better that these hideous trophies be buried under a mountain of earth with every vistage of that funeral pyre which stood for racial antipathy contempt and contumely.—Freeman. Indian apolis, Ind. Kansas, too, has alligned herself with the Negro burning states of the Union. Fred Alexander, an alleged rapist and murderer, was burned to the stake in Leavenworth, Kansas on the 15th inst. He died declaring that he was being put to death for a crime committed by some other man as he was innocent.—Herald, Pine Bluff Ark. AS TO TJIE NEGRO. Continued from Second page cannot handle him as such, you simply inscribe upon his forehead, 'assaulter' and then put him to death. Yet amid such storms of antagonism, the Negro has successfully reached a loftier height in civilization than any other race or people under the canopy of heaven in same length of time. You say that America is a free country and that liberty is embedded in its very soil? Why not then let the Colored man enjoy his liberty in this country? Perhaps you soy you have given him freedom, well enough, but does liberty mean freedom only? No, indeed, it means freedom and the exercise of the rights and privileges of that freedom. Now this is exactly the part of liberty for which the Negro is striving. Why is it that you will not grant him the exercise of the rights and privileges of freedom. Is this American constitution which, through long successive years of experiment has proven to be the greatest and firnest document ever drawn, is best suited to the condition of Americans, why should it not be enforced to its fullest extent.

The Colored people held a mass meeting at the A.M.E. church Monday night and condemned the horrible crime of burning Fred Alexander in Leavenworth, Kan. on Jan.15th. Several good speeches were made; after which the following resolution was unanamously passed. Whereas, one of the members of our race namely, Fred Alexaader, was on the 15th. day of January,1901, taken by a mob, beaten chained to a stake, oiled and burned in the streets of Leavenworth. We, the citizens of Arkansas City and vicinity now assembled be it resolved in the name of God, in the interest of civilisation and protection of our constitutional rights, of our State and Government do earnest request the Governor of the State of Kansas to use all his official power and energy to arrest, convict and punish to the full extent of law the guilty parties. Be it further: resolved, that according to information of the press, we believe that Sheriff Eve; hardy of Leavenworth county, was in co action with the mob. We therefore request that said Sheriff be removed from office and tried for manslaughter. Be it resolved that we do request the legislature now in session, to enact a law compelling the Sheriff of each county in the State, that in cases of swearing in deputies one third, at least, shall be of the same nationality of the accused. We recommend that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to Governor W.E. Stanley, to Senator I.P. King, representative Ed to The Wichita SEARCHLIGHT, Topeka Capitol and K.C. Journal.
