THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT Danger to this Country. The Duty of Every Citiz n is To Staud by The Law. VOL. III. Danger to t The Duty of Every Citiz n Jorge Lewis, one of the counsel the miserable Czolgosz, the as- sistant of President McKinley, hav- discussed the question of an- swer said: But, gentlemen of the jury, I see I firmly believe in that. I do believe that it amounts in dances this country equal to the fact that is becoming so common men who are charged with one shall not be permitted to go wrong the form of a trial in a court of justice, but that lynch law will take the place of the calm dignified administration of law in courts of justice. When that crime becomes sufficiently prevalent in this country, if it ever does, institutions will be set aside and set thrown; and, if we are not misled as to the state of mind of the public in some parts of our country, the time is fast approach when men charged with crime not be permitted to come into court and submit to a calm andified trial, but will be strung on a tree upon the bare suspicion if they have committed some offence. Why, it is not long since I in a paper that a colored man in the South was mobbed and his taken because he had insulted a man. What the insult was paper did not say; but he had killed a white man and his life taken because of that insult to white man. Now, I suggest, men, that that class of the community who are crying out in streets and who are sending letters suggesting that a man charged in the crime that this defendant should not be permitted to have trial before a court of justice, Imit that they are a more dangerous class of the community than anarchists about whom we read lunch. No, it is the duty of every American citizen, of every good man, to firmly by the law. to put his against any ideas that a man could be punished for any crime he is proved guilty in a court, and any reasonable doubt. My states and myself are here to up the law. Some weak-minded people entertain the notion of a lawyer, when he appears in case of a criminl, is in court to rob the due administration of is in court to raise every technology that he can to prolong the ```markdown ``` trial and reverse any verdict which a jury may render, but no man who understands and knows the better class, of the members of the bar entertains any such notion. My associates and myself are here for the same purpose that the learned district attorney is here—to see that this trial progresses in a legal, orderly and properly manner, and, as I suggest, we must in every way possible put down and suppress this feeling that cases may be disposed ef without the intervention of ourts of justice. "I remember, gentlemen, when I was a young man living in the city of Auburn, studying my profession, that tue news came that a colored man had gone upon the shore of the Owasco Lake and there had murdered practically an entire family by the name of Vaness. The news came into the town where I was at the time and it created an intense excitement. The people gathered upon the street to hear the news. In the course of the afternoon, after the commission of the crime, it was understood that the colored man, Freeman, had been arrested and was being brought to the city to be incarcerated in the jail. The people upon the street became more and more excited. They began to talk about mobbing the colored man when he should arrive—that he was not entitled to a trial. "Mr. William H. Sewsrd, who was then a resident of the city of Auburn, appeared upon the street and counselled moderation, coun- selled the people to wait and see whether the man was guilty of the crime, to permit him to have a legal lawtul trial. But the people protested. 'He is guilty beyond any doubt; he must be disposed of at once.' Mr. Seward still insisted and they succeeded in incarcerating Freeman in the jail. It soon be came knows that Mr. Seward had volunteered, without any designation of the court, to defend the Negro when he was put upon trial and then the indignation arose again that he should interpose a defence in such a case as that, and that farseeing statesmrn, who saw that there was an opportunity to the world as to the proper disposition of such a case, stubbornly insisted that he would defend the Negro. He was put upon trial and for two long months that trial pro- WICHITA, KANSAS, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1901 ceeded. As I remember, it occupied some three weeks in obtaining a jury, and the trial consumed at least two months, and I sat by almost the entire length of that trial and listened to the defence that Mr. Seward interposed—not that he cared anything for the Negro, but he wanted to teach the people of the country the sacredness of the law; he wanted to impress upon them the importance of maintaining the law, and putting down mob violence. "And this trial is a great object lesson to the world in that regard. Here is a case where a man has stricken down the beloved President of this country, in broad daylight, in the presence of hundreds of thousands of spectators. If there ever was a case that would excite the anger, the wrath of those who saw it, this was one, and yet, under the advice of the President, "Let no man hurt him," he was taken, confined in our prison, indicted, put on trial here, and the case is soon to be submitted to you whether he is guilty of the crime charged against him. That, gentlemen, speaks volumes in favor of the orderly conduct of the people of Buffalo. Here was a man occupying the exalted position of President of this great Republic, a man of irreproachable character, a man against whose character not the least stain was ever known, who had come to our city to assist us in promoting the prosperity of our great exposition. He submitted to being met by the people who desired to see him, in order to help on this great enterprise in which we have been interested, and he was stricken down and died from the effects of the wounds. It has touched every heart in this community and in the world and yet we sit here to-day in this room, quietly considering the question whether this man is responsible for the act which he committed and that question, gentlemen, is one that you are called upon to decide." When in need of nice warm meals remember the Big B. B. Restaurant of Burns and Bynum 346 N. Main. Visit the barber shop of McCollough & Bettis' 342 N. Main. It is up-to-date. Mrs. P. Allen, of Kingman, spent carnival week in our city visiting her many friends and to see the fair. Mrs. Allen is one of the leading hair dressers of Kansas and has her shop now located in Kingman where she has a large patronage. Messrs. John McCollough and Lieut. W. A. Bettis are opening a first class to date barber shop at 340 N. Main. They have bought new revolving chairs, glasses and all necessary equipments for a modern shop. They are preparing to place two porcelain bath tubs in their place, and everything will be arranged for the comfort and accommodation of their patrons. When completed their shop will rank among the best in the west. We wish them much success. Rev. H. V. Plummer is doing grand work as pastor of the Second Baptist Church. He is a rustler and is making a high mark. We are proud to see the good work which he is doing. Jno. E. Lewis made a flying trip to Sterling and Hutchinson Saturday and Sunday, and returned Sunday eve, leaving Monday night to attend the Baptist State Convention at Aitchison. Mrs. A. T. Glover and Mrs. Parthina Glover have returned from an extended trip to St. Louis and St. Charles, Mo. They report having a most enjoyable time. Mr. H. Abernathy, of La Junta, Col., who has run on the main line of the Santa Fe as train porter, has resigned and accepted a position with Mr. Ayer, Supt., on his private car. Hop, by which he is better known, has a desk in the superintendent's private office, he assists the clerk in writing letters for the superintendent when they are not on the road. He now commands a nice salarp. He is well liked by the Supt. and has a good prospect of a much better position and a larger salary. Since the Santa Fe has been changed in two grand divisions Supt. Ayer has a little over 740 miles. They were out on an inspection tour last week, going first down to Raton, N. M., from there to Canon City, Colo., then to Newton, Kas., arriving there Thursday morning, and when Hop saw the excursions leaving Newton for Wichita where the great street fair was being held, Hop's heart longed for one hour in the noble Peerless Princess. Negro enterprises when conducted properly will get the patronage of the Negro, if Negroes in business will conform to the same rules which make the white man a success.—Texas Guide.

At the council meeting Monday night, upon the recommendation of our able chief, A. G. Walden, Mayor McLean appointed Chas. Shoots, Walter Robinson and Samuel Isler as regular firemen; and upon motion of Councilman Chas. H. Luling, seconded by Councilman W. F. Schell, the appointments were unanimously confirmed. Councilman Luling further motioned that the house be opened at once, and upon the recommendation of Chief Walden the boys' time began at 7 o'clock Tuesday morning Oet. 8th. Thus Wichita can now boast of a colored fire department. Mayor McLean, Chief Walden, Councilmen Luling, Schell, Davidson, in particular, and the other councilmen are to be complimented for their loyalty in redeeming the party pledge to give the colored people this hose house. In the selection of a wagon, Chief Walden has selected as fine a wagon as there is in any city, and he has also secured first class horses and up-to-date equipments and everything has been arranged to make this department equal to any in the city. The chief is determined that these men shall have an equal chance with any other hose house in the city; and it is sincerely hoped that the gentlemen named will prove their efficiency to make excellent men. We have the utmost confidence in their ability to do this. And on behalf of the many loyal colored voters of our city we extend to our Mayor, Chief of Fire Department and Councilmen our thanks, and say to them that we appreciate their recognition, and that in the future, as in the past, we will always be loyal to them and the good old Republican party.

THE WICIHTA SEARCHLIGHT, SATURLAY OCTOBER, 12, 1901 RACE GLEANINGS. The Negro and Education. Those who disparage the higher education of the Negro because it has not yet done its perfect work are too impatient. If it takes twenty five years to educate a white boy how much longer must it take to educate a black race? Forty or fifty millions of dollars have already been spent by Northern philanthropy upon the education of the Negro, and the philanthropists are discouraged because knowledge has not banished ignorance, corruption has not put on incorruption, and want has not been swallowed up in affluence. The city of New York alone spends that amount for educational purposes every three years; and yet if we are to believe the reports of the low state of municipal morality and rumors of public corruption, we see that education has not yet done its perfect work in the great metropolis. Why then should we rave at the heart and froth at the mouth because a sum of money scarcely equal to a tithe of the educational expenditure of a single American city, though scattered over a territory of a million square miles, has not completely civilized a race of ten million souls? Truly hoc c who reason thus must regard the Negro as a cheap man. Although private philanthropy has been princely in its munificence, and the Southern States have contributed up to the limit of their ability, yet neither Northern philanthropy nor Southern statesmanship has begun to realize the enormous cost of an adequate system of education. If anything, it requires more to educate a black boy than it does to educate a white one to the same degree of efficiency. The same degree of efficiency. The doctrine that the white people defray the expenses of the education of the negro is one of the false notions of political economy which have done so much to blight the prosperity of the South. Labor pays every tax in the world; and although the laborer may not enjoy the privilege of passing the tribute to the tax-taker, he is entitled to share all of its benefits and privileges. And besides youth are not educated because they are taxpayers, but in order that they may become so. If the education of the negro has not worked out of the fulfillment which its propounders prophesied, it simply proves them poor prophets. No reform ever fulfills the expectation of projectors. But after all, it can be truly said that no equal sum of money, in the history of the world, has wrought greater advantage to the welfare of the human race than that expended upon the education of the freedmen of the South.—Ex, Rev. T. J. Peck preached a grand sermon at the A. M. E. church last Wednesday to a large and appreciative audience. MRS. LEE ANDERSON HAIR DRESSER— and MASSAGE PARLOR. 442 N. TOPEKA AVE. Dr. Claude G.

SCCRES TILLMAN. McLaurin Implicates Him in Crooked Dealings. Columbus, S. C., Aug. 3.—The state executive committee has received a reply from Senator McLaurin that they cannot make much of It was a scorcher for Tillman and treated the committee as if they were 'foolish boys led astray by a big, disreputable companion." McLaurin says he received an official notification of the committee's action in five days after it was published in the newspapers. "Personally," he writes, "I am indifferent to your action because nobody has made you my master or censor. I regard your action merely expressing the malice and fears of one man, Senator B. R. Tillman. But for his always evil and indecent influence, ordinary respect for the proprieties would probably have prevented the four of you who are declared competitors for my seat from attempting to use the power intrusted to you by your party to remove a rival from your path. "I have not in public office retrogarded from a perhaps honorable bankruptcy to dishonorable and unexplained wealth. He and I draw the same salaries, but I find it impossible to save any of mine. "I have never, however, made speeches against corporations, then voted for them, or been the sole buying agent of a self-created whisky trust, with its rebates of $60,000 to $70,000 a year, none of which ever reached the state treasury. "He is now in a northern state holding up our people as Negro murderers and ballot-box thieves." McLaurin dared the committee to prove that he was not a democrat.

There has been a great deal said about the South and the pacification of the Southern people. The Negroes are being disfranchised while every effort is being made to pacify the South. Why should so much fuss be made about the South and the Southern people? Is it not true that this same people rebelled against the republic and the Negroes did everything in their power to maintain the Union? Why should the Negro then be eliminated from the body politic and the men who rebelled against the Republic be given so much consideration? The colored man is being distranchised by those who made very effort to destroy the Republic.—Washington Bee. COMPLETE MARKET REPORTS Kansas City.

German Railroads Becoming Modern. The German railroads are slowly adopting modern ideas. Quite an innovation was inaugurated the other day, when the railroad authorities announced that excursion tickets to London would be good for forty-five days, via the Hook of Holland or Antwerp. Use for Hornets' Nests: The nests of South American hornets are used by the natives as baskets, being light, strong and so tight as to be waterproof. They are cleared of the partitions and cells in the interior, and, with handles affixed, make useful domestic utensils. Blind Persons in Germany. Since 1871 the number of blind persons in Germany has decreased from eighty-five to sixty-seven per 100,000 inhabitants, and the famous Breslau oculist, Dr. H. Cohn, is convinced that with proper care that number can be still further reduced by 40 per cent. The Alexandrian Era. The "Alexandrian era" is by some authorities begun with the death and by others with the birth of Alexander the Great. For a long time after the death of Alexander this era was in common use in Egypt and many of the countries which had been under his rule. It bgae November 12, 324 B. C. Seek Protection from Extortion: Eight hundred residents in South London have joined a tenants' protective league, started a few weeks ago, "to enable wee lly tenants to combine for self-protection against the extortionate and illegal demands of landlords and rate collectors, and for provision of the necessary legal assistance." Epidemic of Scalp Disease. An epidemic of scalp disease, dubbed tricophytia, recently broke out in Munich-Gladbach, Austria, which has for its consequences the total and permanent loss of hair. Over thirty boys fell victims to this horrible disease, and in order to prevent the spreading the authorities closed the public schools. A Pennsylvania Giant. William Lippincott, the heaviest man in Bucks county, Pennsylvania, weighs 479 pounds, but offers to outdance any man who will try conclusions with him on the waxed floor.

WILL PROTECT OUR INTERESTS IN THE SOUTH. Commander of the Battleship Wisconsin Now in South America—The Largest Fighting Machine in Our Navy of Powerful Sea Going Forts. In the somewhat turbulent state of affairs in South America, where Venezuela, Colombia and Ecuador are mixed up in an international squabble, the interests of the United States are well guarded by Capt. George Cook Reiter, of the Wisconsin. The United States is by treaty bound to keep open traffic across the Isthmus of Panama, and should there be any serious interference with the International railway, Capt. Reiter will take prompt action. Capt. Reiter is a Pennsylvanian by birth, and was graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1865. His progress through the various grades of the service has been steady, and he has seen a variety of duties. There is scarcely a station to which he has not been attached, and he has had considerable land duty. During the Spanish-American war he commanded one of the smaller warships. He attained his present rank two years ago. The Wisconsin will be the greatest fighting machine ever seen at Panama. The Oregon and Iowa have been there, but neither of these is as large as the Wisconsin. Comparatively few British battleships or war vessels of other nations come this way, and none that could be compared with the Wisconsin. The Wisconsin was launched at the Union Iron Works, in San Francisco, November 26, 1898, and has been in commission several months. She is of 11,525 tons displacement, and has a length of 368 feet; breadth, 72 feet $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches; draft, 23 feet 6 inches. M. CAPT. GEORGE COOK REITER. trial trip in Santa Barbara channel in October, 1900, showed an average of 17.25 knots, with a maximum speed of 18.54 knots. A HEALTHY VOICE. Faithful Practice Will Do Much to Acquire it. A strong, sweet, beautiful voice is greatly to be desired by every one, says Health. In some climates, like Italy, for instance, the voices are almost all fine. In other places where it is cold and moist the voices are too often bad. In the country, where the young grow up in an out-of-door life, where they can "holler" and even "yell," the voices are much better and stronger than in the city, where a young person must suppress himself and always speak in gentle tones. Thin, throaty tones, of those with a nasal intonation are bad enough to the sensitive ear when used in the key of ordinary conversation. When it is needed to expand such voices to the declamatory point, then lack of volume and mellowness is evident. Faithful practice may do much to correct faults of emphasis and infection, but the most sanguine coach will not undertake to make over a poor voice in a coarse of three or even six weeks' rehearsals. The possibilities of the speaking voice are beginning to be understood. Parents are discovering that it is a wise plan to cultivate in their children an agreeable voice. Instructors in the art of developing the exquisite mechanism and wonderful capability of the human speaking voice are springing up on every side. It cannot be long before it will be a positive reproach for a woman of education, at least, to speak in shrill, nasal or unplaced tones. The voice is a mirror of the mind. A coarse, harsh, disagreeable voice can best be cured by improving the mind and heart. Where Folks Read. In four counties of western Massachusetts no less than 120 public libraries are in operation, containing 825,000 books. The towns where they are located have a population of 307,000. One of these libraries was started with money from a dog tax, and another was begun with dollar contributions. Where a special building is lacking, the books are cared for at the town hall, engine house, school, or the residence of some public-spirited citizen. Some of the librarians give their time without salary. In several cases the pay is from $5 to $30 a year. One librarian bought a book with her own money, charged two cents a day for its use until the cost was covered, and then put the book in the public collection. The will and the way on the library question have got together in Massachusetts. The total value of all farm animals and live stock in the United States is more than $2,000,000,000. More than half that value ($1,200,000,000) is in cows, oxen and other cattle. Lancashire's Cotton Industry. As showing the remarkable growth of the Lancashire cotton industry, it is stated that whereas ten years ago 100,000 bales of the raw material sufficed to keep the country's mills in full operation for a year, the same amount now would feed the spindles for a day and a quarter. Promotion for Bravery. Word reaches us of a small band of soldiers who held at bay a large number of Filipinos for over two hours until assistance arrived, thereby saving an important point from capture. For their bravery they were all given promotion. To be brave it is necessary to have strong nerves and a good digestion. If your stomach is weak and you suffer from indigestion, heartburn, burgers, pernicious or insomnia, you should try Hostetler's Stomach Bitters. It will cure you. Our good deeds slide away easily; our sins ride us with whip and spur. Rheumatism, neuralgia, soreness, pain, sore throat and all bodily suffering relieved at once by Wizard Ol. Internally and externally. Longevity of Princes The entry of the grand duke of Luxemburg into his eighty-fifth year seems to call attention to the remarkable development of longevity among reigning princes during the last half century. In July, 1849, there were fifty-one sovereigns, great and small, in Europe, among whom there was but one, the king of Hanover, over 70 years of age. Today there are forty. To Uplift Young Negroes. An organization of the colored business men of Louisville has been formed for the uplifting of the young negroes of that city. Stores for negroes, to be conducted by negroes, is the plan first contemplated, and if these are successful, other industries will be added. Small dry goods stores and corner groceries are to be established and young negroes are to be employed as clerks. The nautical crank now begins to talk through his yachting cap. **IF YOU USE BALL BLUE,** Get Red Cross Ball Blue, the best Ball Blue. Large 2 oz. package only 5 cents.

Candler has been talking to the St. Louis southern Methodist ministers on the higher criticism and the tendency to ritualism in the church. He deprecates special musical programmes and paid choirs and soloists. The higher criticism, he declares, insists on a "sort of polka dot revelation." A Definition of Spinster An office-boy in a lawyer's office brought some deeds, the signatures to which had been attested by a lady who had not appended her description. "Was she a spinster" the boy was asked. "Yes, sir, she rides a bicycle," he replied readily. "Spinster—a lady who goes for a spin," is a definition both reasonable and novel.—London Globe. STILL TALKING ABOUT IT Bryant, Mo., Oct. 7th.—The case of Mrs. M. A. Goss, continues to be the chief topic of conversation in this neighborhood. Mrs. Goss was a cripple for a long time with Scotatica; she was so bad she couldn't turn over in bed and for four months she lay on one side. She had tried everything without getting any relief, till at last she heard of Dodd's Kidney Pills. She is strong and well today, and has not a single ache or pain. Mrs. Goss says: "I don't know if Dodd's Kidney Pills will cure anything else or not, but I do know they will cure statica, for they cured me, and there couldn't be a worse case than mine." Phoebe Polling Shaw died at her home in Neosho county, Kan., recently, age ninety-one years.
