Wichita Searchlight

VOL. III. W. H. A CLARK We have the great pleasure of herewith presenting a very good likeness of one of Wichita's most prominent, progressive widely acquainted, and most substantial colored men. The accompanying likeness is that of Hon. Williams Hampton APROMENENT COLORED MAN M. B. Albert Clark. Mr. Clark is an Illinoian by birth, having been born in Quincy, Adams county, Illinois-Oct. 3rd, 1857. He resided in his native city till he was 16 years of age, when he moved with his parents to Kansas, locating in Wichita, where he has since resided. He has always been regarded as one of Wichita's most substantial colored men and stands high in the whole community. For more than 14 years he has been collector and one of the trusted employees of the banks of this city. During all this time he has worked for the various banks that have occupied the building at the corner of Main and Douglas Ave. He began with the old State National bank and remained with them 7 years and when that institution became the Sedgwick County bank he was retained, and worked for that bank 3 years; at that time this bank gave way to the present Kansas National bank; with which bank he has been more than four years. Mr. Clark is a member of the Masonic fraternity of more than 24 years standing, and is a member of Arkansas Valley lodge No. 21, of which lodge he has been Secretary for more than three years. He is also a member of Palestine Commandery No. 12; and is High Priest of Mt. Zion Chapter No. 17. As a musician he ranks high. His favorite instrument is the violin, and as a member of the orchestra of the A. M. E. church and the celebrated Clark - Chinneth Orchestra he is widely known. In 1856 he was married to Miss Fannie Colman, who died in 1893. One daughter, now 11 years old blessed them. In April 1901, Mr. Clark was united in marriage to Miss Ida B. McDonald, one of our popular society young ladies. He owns a beautiful home at 626 N. Water St. and several other valuable pieces of property in the city. BLACK AND WHITE OF IT THE MIXED RACE AT THE SOUTH CRITICALLY CONSIDERED Prof. Councill's Recent Utterances Analyzed From A White Man's Point Of View. GOVERNMENT BY BALLOTTS Recent discussion of the race question at the South has brought forth nothing more offensive than the utterance of Professor Councile of the Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical Collage, who makes three assertions: 1. That the only pure Anglo-Saxon blood to bs found in the United States is at the South. 2. That this pure Anglo-Saxon blood will rule by the ballot, if possible, but by the bullet, if necessary. 3. That when the negro undertakes to step over the social line separating the two races he will step from life to death. It is nothing new for Southerners to assert their superiority over Northerners. So many of them came to believe it a generation age that they were led into a civil war which was the most atrocious political crime in the history of the world. It was such conclusions as those of Professor Council in his pure Anglo-Saxon theory which led the South in 1861 to accept the grotesque idea that one Southerner could whip five Northerners and actually to attempt it. The South misunderstood the North then and it is evident that it misunderstands it now. Leaving the Negro out of the calculation entirely, the white population of the South has nothing to boast of in the matter of blood. It is mixed through and through with the same elements which have appeared throughout the North, and it possesses some strains in addition which are wholly unknown, or at least unclassified, north of the Ohio river. The South's best citizenship has owed quite as much to the Scotch-Irish so callad as it has to the Anglo-Saxon. Its least progressive elements, the lazy, the thriftless, the practical barbarians of the way-down regions ans the far-up tracts, may be Anglo-Saxon in their origin, but they are no credit to any stock and many of them are no doubt the descendants of persons who were transported from England in the early days for good sufficient cause. Immigration to the Northern States during the last twenty years most of which has been desirable, has been chiefly of the Teutonic, Celtic and Scaudinavian stocks, WICHITA, KANSAS, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1902. each of which is a prime factor in what is loosely called the Anglo-Saxon race. The assimilation which is taking place here is not unlike that which in centuries past has taken place in England itself, and the result must be with some obvious modifications, substantially the same in both cases. To sneer at the people of the Northern States as an aggregation of mongrels who cannot well appreciate the fine pride of a pure-blooded Southerner in the matter of the race question comes with poor grace from a college professor who ought to have a more exact knowledge of the subject. In point of fact the race prejudice at the South with which we all are familiar is much more suggestive of conscious inferiority and of the fear of possible rivalry than it is of genuine pride of ancestry and confidence in one's own worth. Many close students of conditions at the South have perceived that long association with a race held in brutalizing bondage has proved as injurious to the whites in many respects as it has to the black. The awful system which made men and women, some of them of very light color, the chattels of the whites, subject to their whims, their avarice and their passions, with no rights to be maintained anywhere, could not fail to leave its mark upon the oppressor as well as upon the oppresssed. About all that was needed to complete the hatefulness of this picture was for the supposed beneficiaries of the accursed arrangement and their descendants, who had passed their lives largely in the society of the black whom they owned, to insult better men by claiming to be their superious in points of birth and blood. No product of the slave system white or black, can be the physical, moral or intellectual equal of men not thus contaminated. The humblest Northerner springing from any race whatsoever which never felt and never wielded a slave driver's lash has a right to be prouder of his lineage than any Southerner against whom such a bar sinister can be raised.* Vastly more particular to preserve Unity among the Colored people means the accomplishment of great things by the race and for the race. With a united effort, no task would be too hard, no request would be too great for them to accomplish. The key to the door of future success of the race is "Unity." The race cannot be divided and succeed. Let "Unity" be our constant watch-word. Editor. the purity of the race than South- eerners ever were and abhorring the very idea of miscegenation, which has left its marks all over the South the average Northerner is just enough and moral enough to resent the idea that the onely terms on which whites and blacks can live side by side are those which are prescribed by such men as Professor Couucill. Northern men might not enfranchise the Negro, but if they refused him the ballot on account of his ignorance or his im morality they would at the same time exclude the equally ignorant and immoral white men. They would not fear the Negros as such. What they would fear would be unfitness by whomsoever shown. In considering this question it is to be remembered that the same element at the South which has carefully safeguarded the voting privileges of white men—degenerate Anglo-Saxons, possibly—who can neither read nor write, has been thrown into a veritable hysteria by the honors extended to Booker Washington at the North. The fact should be borne in mind also that Prof. Washsugton, one of the most notable products of the South since the war, is a Negro. It is probable that the ax slave States can be searched in vain for a white man wholly the growth of conditions since the surrender at Appomatox who can compare with him in intellectual development, in splendid accomplishment and in the manitestation of ideas characteritic of the highest type of civilization. What Washington had done other colored men can and will do. At the North pride of birth and lineage impel men to recognize such characters. Real birth and real line age do not fear them. They honor them. The truly proud and self-respecting man would scorn the despicable terror or jealousy with which such progress is viewed at the South. He would be equally intolerant of the absurdity that because one distinguished Negro had been selected for honor all others must be accorded the same treatment. With undoubting confidence in him self and with the fullest consciousness of his own standing, he would illustrate the true democracy of worth by recognizing the best that any race or any nation could bring against him. Politically speaking, there is only one way to deal with the decadent and boastful "Anglo-Saxons" of the South and is to deprive them of representation in Congress for the Negro vote which they have suppressed. The Negro who is not good enough to participate in the slightest degree in the government of the State in which he lives is not entitled by proxy to govern the people of the North—particularly when his proxy is in the hands of men who profess to hold the Northern people in contempt. Government at the North is by the ballot exclusively and not by the bullet at all. Social regulations at the North are quite as strict as any that ever have been known at the South, but they carry no death penalty for anybody. An excellent way for the Northern people to deal with this troublesome question, as with every other, is to enforce the law. Failure to do so through any mistaken idea of generosity is certain to lead to further misunderstandings which may have serious consequences. AGE, NEW YORK. NO.33 Hon. Van Duyn. Herewith we take pleasure in presenting a few biographical notes and the likeness of Hon. Fred G. Van Duyn, the very able and popu HON. F. G. VAN DUYN lar Councilman from the Third Ward. Mr. Van Duyn is an Iowan, and was born in Clinton, Iowa, Oct. 30th, 1863. He remained in his native city till he was 15 years of age, when he came to Kansas, locating in Augusta, where he remained two years; moving from there to Dodge City, Kansas, where he lived for a number of years. Mr. Van Duyn came to Wichita in 1895 and has lived here ever since. In 1900 he was elected a member of the City Council from the Third Ward on the Republian ticket. Since going in the Council he has always identified himself with the best interest of the city and has always stood for the best interest of the city and has always stood for the progress of Wichita. He has made a most brilliant record and is regarded by his fellow Councilmen as substantial and reliable authority on the technical affairs of the city and especially those of the Third Ward. His republicanism is not a matter of recent discovery, but dates from his birth. He has always been a strong and unwavering republican. Mr. Van Duyn is at present proprietor of the Manhattan hotel, one of our best hotels. He has always been identified with all movements for the betterment of the city. Mr. Van Duyn should be, and we predict that he will be nominated and re-elected Councilman from the Third Ward. The cry of the Third ward this Spring should be "Van Duyn, progress and prosperity." A Guide's Lot Not Happy One. "That dude hunter of yours punished a lot of fire water before he started out with you this morning," exclaimed the Adiqondack guide with the wooden eg. "I should say so," growled the guide with an arm in a sling. "We hadn't seen hunting an hour before he mis- ook me for a yellow monkey with pink tail feathers" THE SEARCHLIGHT. W. N. MILLER, Editor.

McLean and the city council in the matter of the Missouri and Kansas Telephone Co. vs. the people of Wichita, is a grand and highly commendable one. They take the right stand, when they are determined to show foreign corporations that the citizens of Wichita, are amply capable of self-government, and if there are any rights which the company wants, Whichita must be the dictator. The stand taken by Mayor Mo Lean is one that shows that he and the City Council are Wichitans, who believe in Wichita. We visited the City Council meeting Monday night and highly enjoyed the meeting. Mayor Mc Lean's stand on every question concerning the government of Wichita is to be highly commended. Chas. H. Luling is a Wichitan and stands for Wichita, as against a foreign, bull-dozing corporation. Thats right. stand pat, and the people will stand with you. Who is that "white folks" Negro who is always seeking to find something from the colored people to tell the "white folks", as he says? Stop him! Brand him!! Watch him!!! If he really knew how little the "white folks", as he says, cares to hear his "squeals" and how little the "white folks" thinks of him for his "squeals", he would get ashamed of himself and go out on the prarie and shoot his own brains out. He is no doubt, one of those 5c peanut headed kind of fellows, who are devoid of even self respect. We want to find out who he is. Can you tell us? If there is any one thing which we really hate to do, it is to do what is known as roasting a fellow. But, we are almost driven to the point where we will have to do so with certain feliews. We will try every way know to man to avoid it and if we just can't get around it we will do our best. We have never resotred to roasting" and we pray to be allowed to avoied it. We dent like to do it, that's all. We stand today as we have always stood for the republican cause. Join us. $ \ddagger = \dagger \text{ As WE GET IT, So WE GIVE IT. } \ddagger = \ddagger $ Arria Court No. 7. Independent order of Calanthe, held the election of their officess last Monday night.

We wish to thank our kind neighbors and friends for the expression of their sympathies and their acts of kindness at the loss of our beloved son. Mr. and Mrs. E. D. Drain. BEATS ALL Wichita is the only City in Kas, that can boast of having every colored Church in the City out of debt. That is the fact with Wichita, just the same. We have the following colored churches and each of them is out of debt, that is, has no mortgage on the church property. A. M. E., Rev. A. C. Terrill, pastor 2nd. Bapt. Rev. H. V. Plummer, , New Hope Bapt. Rev. H. F. Frazier Tabern'le Bapt., Rev. R. N. Countee Friendship Bapt., No pastor. Isn't this agreat thing to say for Wichita? You can always count on the get up and go colored people of Wichita. A certain colored genteman living on the east side was given 20c by his wife to get Oysters for supper, the other evening. He went out, got 15c worth of Oysters and 5c worth of Cigars and reported to his wife that Oysters had "gone up.' The officers elect of Herculean lodge No. 20. were installed last Friday night by Grand Chacellor Jno. E. Lewis, Deputy Grand Chancellor J. H. Phelps, and Grand Keeper of Records and Seals, W.'N.

Mrs A Fox is uisiting friends in Newton. THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT, SATURDAY, JANUARY, 11 1602 One of the meanest and most low-down things which a person could be guilty of is, to take advantage of the absence of a family to ransack their house. This misfortune was the lot of Mrs. G. H. Young, 526 North Water St. during her recent stay in Chicago. She lost many valuable and highly prized articles, among which were: sheets, pillow slips, towels, two table cloths, one in particular, a fine white domas, with wild rose designs and a Fred Douglas spoon. Mr. and Mrs. Young pized the Fred Douglas spoon very high as it was a gift from their daughter and was, no donbt, the only one of its kind in Wichita. It is said that the Fred Douglas spoon and the table cloth, [ above described ] has been seen and recouized as the property of Mrs. Young. There was a great many other things missed too numerous to mention. Mrs. Young only thinks that the perpetrator's " sins will find them out." Orange Thompson, who came to the city on the sick list about one month ago, is improving fast and at the present rate will soon be able to be out among friends. The fire bory of No. 3 hose house made a fine run at 1057 N. Emporia Wednesday, morning. They were the first on the scene and did good work. Good for our colored firemen.

To the Editor Searchlight. From Alpha Court No. 15: Dear Editor: This littie Court is blooming, we had a New Year meeting - one long to be remembered. We presented our past Worthy Joshua, Rev. O.

You deserve His blessings You are doing a good work. May you continue. By Order Alpha Court No. 15; Kingman Mrs. Robt. Davis, returned from Wichita Saturday evening, feeling well paid for her trip, she also reports a very enjoyable time. George Floyd, went to Anthony, Saturday to spend a few weeks. Mr. G. Gardner is getting to be quite a Sunday scholar, we are glad to see Mr. Gardner present. Mr. Robert Davis, has recovered from his illness and again able to be at his old stand we are glad to see that he is able to be about. General Joseph Wheeler was in Cleveland Ohio, a few days ago in the interest of a new army rifle. In a newspaper interview he stated in reply to a question on the possibility of a political break in the South: "There is no question that the superiority of the white race in the South must be maintained. Anyone who has seen the South under the rule of the other color, as it was directly after the war, can understand why this must be so. For one reas a white supremacy alone can insure financial stability. There will be no political break in the solid South by any party which tries to interfere from the North, through the medium of politicians with the solving of the color problem by the South." Mrs Mary Thomas is quite ill at her home on Jefferson ave. ASTONISHING OFFER!!

Y To assist nature, when nature needs assistance, it is all important that the F774 medicinal agents used should be of the best quality and of known value and Syrup 1 of Figs possesses this great advantage over all other remedies, that it does not 974 weaken the organs on which it acts and therefore it promotes a healthful con- Y dition of the bowels and assists one in forming regular habits.

The quality of Syrup of Figs is due not UA, only to the excellence of the combination, but also to the original method of ZB manufacture which ensures perfect purity and uniformity of product and it is WY, therefore all important, in buying, in order to get its beneficial effects, to note GA the full name of the Company—California Fig Syrup Co.—printed on the front eZ of every package.
