THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT Negroes of the South some Plain, Unvarnished TRUTHS; Must look to South for friends. Masses of North more Inimical to the Negro in all Departments than in the South. The Negro is often vastly different from what he is represented to be. There are two widely different stand-points from which this much ignorantly discussed and often badly abused people are viewed. The point of view of the over ardent friend, and the point of view of the malignant enemy. Both are dangerous. One prepares the public mind to expect too much of the Negro. The other prepares the pubic mind to cry: "There goes a nigger; hit him! Kill him!" There are few men who post themselves before speaking or writing on the so-called Negro question. The Negro suffers by the ignorance of the men who talk and write about him without studying him. The statement that the Negro is not a tax-payer is generally accepted as the truth without challenge from his best friends. But is it a fact? The Negro pays taxes, both directly and indirectly. To say that a people who do more than fifty percent of the agricultural labor of a country, paying rent on the lands; do not pay taxes, must be proven by some system of mathematics not yet invented. In the whole country (census 1890) the Negro occupied 1,500,000 farms and homes. He owned 270,000 of them. It will be a bold man who will assert that the renters of 1, 500,000 farms and homes do not only pay the tax, but the insurance and all other charges upon such property. It is not only unjust but cruel to take from this young race those honors which have been so grandly achieved by honest toil. The Negro asks the races in superior condidion not to stand in his sunshine, not to misrepresent him but give him a chance to use his good right arm in striking for higher civilization—only a chance to stand or fall like other men. such has been said about Nego criminality. The race has been greatly misrepresented. Govern- ment statistics for 1890 show 33 Negro criminals to every 10,000 Negro population. This record is made up generally of convictions for small offences. Crimes are committed almost invariably by the idle, ignorant, class. Unfortunately for the race, persons who are unfriendly to it magnify the small offenses of the Negro and minify their their own. The fact that the Negro does not make, construe nor execute laws places him at a great disadvantage in making up criminal records. This fact must not be discarded in considering his criminal record. I think that people who are well informed will admit that other people in similar conditions are more criminal than the Negro. The class of Negro brutes who commit these outrages for which ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine out of every hundred thousand of my race hang their heads fn shame, no more form a part of the better element of white people. These fiends who pay such a horrible and yet just penalty for their revolting crimes, do not form a part of our audiences, congregations, schools, social gatherings and industrial communities. They are not the trusted servants of Southern homes They are the low, shiftless tramp element of society who are brutalized and impassioured by the licensed saloon, dives, gambling dens authorized by Christianmen Christian courts, Christian legislatures, to send these dehumanized tramps throughout the length and breadth of this Christian land. The Negro has been the loved and trusted custodian of Southern homes for more than two centuries. Did my race ever teach these blue—eyed AngloSaxon children lessons of sin and hate? Regardless of how the white man's lust had preyed upon the black woman's WICHITA, KANSAS, MARCH 23, 1901. Trees Delivered in City Limits.

VOL. II. NO. 43 Dr. B. A. McLEMORE. We present herein a likeness of M. B. Dr B. A. McLemore, of Fort Scott Kansas. Dr. McLemore is one of most prominent and well-to-do physicians, either white or black, in the state of Kansas. He is a Tennesseean by birth, having been born at Spring Hill, Tenn, December, 9th, 1854. He attended the common schools at that place 'til sixteen years old when he went to Nashville and entered Central Tennessee College where he attended six years, graduating with high honors. He attended the Mehara Medical College at Nashville and graduated from that school in 1887. Immediately after graduating he moved to Ft. Scott, where he has since remained. He has a large practice there and owns much property. He has been twice elected coronor of Bourbon county and for several years has been city physician. LYNCHED AFTER TRIAL At Tiptonville, Tenn. a small station near Nashville, a mob took Ike Fitzgerald from the jail and hanged him. Fitzgerald had been tried by a jury for rape and the ury disagreed. It seem that when there is a doubt in the minds of jurors as to a negroe's guilt, he is lynched any way. Is there no end?

The servant girls of Pennsylvania have organized a union known as the Servant Girl and Housekeeper's Protective Association. The formation of such a union, causes us to ask, What of the colored girl? Will she be permitted to join? Will she be given the same treatment as the white girl? These questions are of prime importance to the colored servant girl when it is considered that the unions controlling the big and little factories, the department and other stores, the offices, and simiplaces where the girls are given employment, when we say, it is remembered that these places are all closed against the colored girl, and her only place of occupation open to her is as a servant girl, we claim that these questions are of much moment. This is a most deplorable state of facts; when it is remembered the we have as cultured, as refined, as refined and as competent girls as ever served in factory shop, or store yet this is a fact so why not admit it? We can but hope that this union will not become of such import that it will be tempted to close the door on the honest colored servant girls, and we trust further, that ere long the Negro may be so situated that he can open factories, stores and offices and thus tend to reduce the number of colored servant girls.

The South has lost its Negro representative. After April 2nd, it [will be, Mayor. Ben McLean. In this campaign it is "big dog eat little dog." The colored men seem at sea as to just what course they will take in the present fight. It seems that the people have lost sight of party lines, and have determined to vote for the best men "Everything is fair in politics," is the old saying, but it is not true. However, we will let it go at that What is the colored man's portion if the republican party is successful at the polls?

INITIATED Toas Lodge, No. 10, K. of P. initiated Richard Murray Harding last Wednesday night at their Castle hall. It had been some time since the boys had had any exercise so they went to work with a vim, and they left no stone unturned to convince Harding that he was initiated. The goat was warm in the collar. After the initiation, a sumptious luncheon was served and all partook thereot and were merry. Who is that "white folks" Negro who evedrops among his colored brothers and runs to tell the white man the whole story. A white man who takes this method to pry into the business of colored people is a d—n sight worse than his Negro messenger, and the Negro messenger is lower than a cold blooded murder.

It is commonly known to the medical fraternity that the numerous ailments and complications which follow the grip are apt to be more serious than the acute stage of the disease. Some people have the grip very lightly. They may be confined to the house only a day or two and yet a long train of disagreeable, disabling symptoms follow. All sorts of tonics and stimulating remedies have been devised to meet this condition. None of them can compare in results with Peruna. Every one who has had the grip ought to take a short course of Peruna. Read what the following people have to say about it. If you do not derive prompt and satisfactory results from the use of Peruna, write at once to Dr. Hartman, giving a full statement of your case and he will be pleased to give you his valuable advice gratis. Address Dr. Hartman, President of The Hartman Sanitarium. Washington, Feb. 4, 1899. The Peruna Medicine Co. Columbus, O.: Gentlemen—I have taken Peruna now for two weeks, and find I am very much relieved. I feel that my cure will be permanent. I have also taken it for la gripe, and take pleasure in recommend d in g Peruna as an excellent remedy to all fellow suf- Congressman Howard. 1860 reers. —M. w. Howard.

Co., at Williamsport, Pa., writes: 1441 South Ninth Street, Philadelphia, Pa., May 6, 1899. Dr. S. B. Hartman, Dear Sir:—"I write to inform you that I had a bad attack of la gripe last December which lasted more than three months and which left me with catarrh, when several of my friends advised me to try your wonderful medicine, Peruna. I began with a bottle the first week in March and it certainly did me a great deal of good. I was so well satisfied that I purchased another bottle and followed your directions, which you furnish with every bottle, and I am glad to say that it has cured me. I shall certainly recommend the Peruna to all my friends." D. D. Wallace, a charter member of the International Barber's Union writes from 15 Western ave. Minneapolis, Minn. "Following a severe attack of la gripe I seemed to be affected badly all over. I suffered with a severe backache, indigestion and numerous ills, so I could neither eat nor sleep, and I thought I would give up my work, which I could not afford to do. "One of my customers who was greatly helped by Peruna advised me to try it, and I procured a bottle the same day. I used it faithfully and felt a marked improvement. During the next two months I took five bottles, and then felt splendid. Now my head is clear, my nerves are steady, I enjoy food, and rest well. Peruna has been worth a dollar a dose to me." D. L.

I took three bottles of Peruna with very beneficial results and was able to leave my my bed in a week, and regained my usual strength very soon. I have nothing but the highest praise for Peruna and recommend it to those similarly afflicted wherever I can."—Frances M. Anderson. Grip Poisoned Her Blood. Mrs. T. W. Collins, Treasurer of the Independent Order of Good Templars of Everett, Wash., writes: "After having a severe attack of la gripe I continued in a feeble condition even after the doctor called me cured. My blood seemed polished. "I also suffered with dyspepsia, and had either to starve or suffer from what I was eating. A neighbor who was using Peruna praised it so high that she induced me to try it, and I soon found this was what I really needed. "I could soon eat my regular meals with relish, my sys...m was built up, my health returned, and I have remained in excellent strength and vigor now for over two years."—Mrs. T. W. Collins. Miss Alice Dressler, of 1313 N. Bryant ave., Minneapolis, Minn., writes as follows concerning Peruna: GRIP LEFT HER BROKEN DOWN. "Last spring I suffered from la gripe and was partially cured, but the bad after-effects remained through the summer and somehow I did not get as strong as I was before. "In the fall I caught cold after getting my feet wet and at. ading a lecture in a cold hall, and suffered a relapse. Catarrh of the throat and head followed, and as I was in a weak condition physically previous to this, it took but little to break me down completely. One of my college friends, who was visiting me, asked me to try Peruna and I did so and found it all and more than I had expected. It not only cured me of the catarrh, but restored me to perfect health."—Alice Dressler. An Egyptian Reed. The Egyptian reed, which was used for making the pens found in Egyptian tombs, is a hard variety growing to about the diameter of an ordinary goose quill. Pens made from it are said to last for a day or two and do excellent work. American Education in Honduras. An American education is to be extended to the young women of Honduras. Dr. Jenckes of Indianapolis, has opened a school for girls at Santa Cruz and the government and wealthy people have subscribed enough to erect permanent stone structures for a college for women.

MUST OBEY STRICT RULES. Topeka, March 22.—Governor Stanley has formulated rules and regulations governing the granting of conditional pardons and paroles under the new law passed at the recent session of the legislature. From now on the parole and conditional pardon system will be used exclusively in Kansas. No more absolute pardons will be granted. The new law, in a general way, provides for the parole system, but leaves all the details as to rules and regulations to the governor. He has made them very rigid. His requirements as to how a prisoner shall conduct himself while out on parole follow the ten comuandments very closely. A prisoner must walk in the straight and narrow path or he will be sent back to prison to serve out his sentence. The governor has given out a list of eight subjects upon which information is required from the applicant for a parole. Then there are five rules which must be obeyed by the convict to keep himself from returning to the penitentiary. These rules are: "First—That he shall abstain from the use of intoxicating liquors. "Second—That he shall not frequent places where intoxicating liquors are sold or drank. "Third—That he shall not engage in any form of gambling or frequent places or company where, or by whom, gambling is done. "Fourth—That he shall abstain from criminal, vicious, lewd or unworthy associates. "Fifth—That he shall, on the first day of each month, make a report in writing to the warden of the penitentiary, giving a statement of his occupation, location and condition, the name of his employer and such other facts as the warden may require. For Young Veterans Too Kansas City, March 18.—Congressman Cowherd has received this dispatch from the secretary of the interior: "Act of March 1, 1901, gives practically the same privileges to soldiers and sailors of the Spanish war as were given to soldiers and sailors of the civil war under sections 2304 and 2305, Revised Statutes." This means that men who enlisted in the volunteer and regular service for the insular wars are entitled to take up soldiers' homesteads, on the same terms with the older veterans. MacArthur Will Finish. Washington, March 19.—Unless General MacArthur shall have completed the organization of civil government in the Phillippines before General Chaffee arrives there, he will continue as military governor until his work is completed. The war department is confident that the work will be finished in the next two months, and if it is General Chaffee will assume control upon his arrival. MacArthur's dispatches are very encouraging. Six Millions Saved by Vaccine. Washington, March 21.—Secretary of Agriculture Wilson estimates that over $6,000,000 worth of young livestock throughout the country were saved during 1900 by the prompt use of medicine for blackleg sent out by the department. Information he has just received shows that over 2,500,000 doses of the vaccine were distributed by the department during the year. Side Track Getting Serious. London, March 18.—A dispatch from Tien Tsin would indicate serious trouble to result from the British laying a side track on ground claimed by the Russians. It reads: "The Russians are now intrenching in the disputed territory. A company of the Hong Kong regiment, with fixed bayonets, is in front, while two companies of the Madras Pioneers, under the command of Major Johnson, are held in reserve. "Both the Russians and the British are awaiting instructions." Padding the Census. Washington, March 22. -Director of the Census Merriam has caused the arrest of one census enumerator who placed the names of 500 dead people and non residents on the rolls. Mr. Merriam says that in all cases of this sort anywhere that are discovered there will be prosecutions, and that it is his policy to punish every offender. It is too late, however to change the figures of the tenth census. The penalty provided for this offense is $5,000 fine and two years imprisonment. Chinese Civilization. Chicago, March 21.—Wu Ting Fang, Chinese minister to the United States, delivered the convocation address of the University of Chicago at the Studebaker theater before the faculty of the institution and an audience that packed the theatre to the doors. Mr. Wu took for his subject "Chinese Civilization." His defense of the civilization of his native country, in his comparisons with that of the civilization of the Occident, was much applauded.

Catchings of Mississippi was recently the recipient of a beautiful silver loving cup from the citizens of New Orleans in recognition of his efforts to secure legislation for the improvement of the passes at the mouth of the Mississippi river. The presentation was made at Washington by Representative Meyer of Louisiana in the room of the committee on rivers and harbors. Jury Swallowed a Phantomment A big whisky trial has been in progress in Buffalo. The question is whether a certain whisky was of the required grade. Finally the counsel, who had been allowed to produce samples in court, declared that he would submit them to the jury for test. The attention in the jury box grew suddenly intense. But the judge, in evident haste, ruled that such a proceeding would be improper, a fact the jury had had nothing to swallow but its disappointment. Severe Test of a Watch. "I've seen a good many funny things at this station," said a ticket chopper on the Ninth avenue elevated line, "but there is one old fool who always amuses me more than all the others. He is the man who invariably sets his watch by the dial up there which points out the next express. I've seen him do it more than fifty times this winter. And the look on his face when he does it! I can come pretty near telling what he says to himself."—New York Sun. Forest Camps for Consumptives It is proposed in Pennsylvania to establish camps for consumptives in the various forest reservations of the state. In these healthful camps it is believed that the sufferings of the diseased persons may be lessened. It is probable that the first camp will be opened on the reservation in Clinton county, which has an elevation of 2,000 feet above the level of the sea. This reservation has an area of 45,000 acres and is adjoined by two other large reservations—New York Press. It doesn't always pay for a girl to have too many strings to her beau.

I am so weak at my stomach, and have indigestion terribly, and palpitation of the heart; am losing flesh; and this headache and backache nearly kills me, and yesterday I had hysterics. "There is a weight in the lower part of my bowels, bearing down all the time, with pains in my groins and thighs—I can't sleep, walk, or sit, and blue—oh goodness!
