THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT The Negro and Crime. An Interview With Warden E. B. Jewett. Warden Of The Kansas Penitentiary. He Points Out A Wholesome Remedy For The Reduction Of Crime. - Has Hopes. VOL. III. The Negro An Interview With Warr Of The Kansas Penitentiary A Wholesome Rem tion Of Crime On a recent trip to Hutchinson to attend the Seventh Congressional Convention, we met Warden E. B. Jewett, of this city, now warden of the Kansas Penitentiary, and in a conversation we asked: "Warden, about how many convicts have you now under your charge?" "About 1,030," was his reply. "What is the capacity of the build-; twine plant?" we asked. "The capacity is from 8 to 10 thous and tons each day." answered the warden. "What about your coal mines?" "Well," replied the warden, "it runs usually about 1,000 bushels per month." "Do you have any other manufactures or industries?" "We only mannufacture the clothing, shoes, and caps for the innrates." "What about provision?" "As we use about 500 lbs. of meat each day, it is entirely impractical to attempt to raise our own meat, but we raise a few hogs to consume the waste; in 1902 we will butcher about 200 head of hogs; on the prison farm we raise quite a good portion of the potatoes, and small vegetables used. In this way the expenses of the prison are greatly reduced." "Warden, what is the proportion of colored convicts to white as to population?" "I am sorry to say that there are more colored convicts than white as to population." "Are the majority of the colored convicts what might be termed elderly, middle aged, or young men?" "The majority are young men in the prime of life." "In your position, as warden of one of the greatest penal institutios in the world; and coming in constant contact with criminals from all portions of the state, to what do you attribute the greater proportion of colored convicts, and the dominancy of the younger colored man, over the elderly and middle aged man as convicts?" "I attribute it mainly to the fact that the colored race is in its infancy in education; in its infancy in opportunities in the uneven race of life. This condition is not one for which the colored race is entirely to be coudemned, but more is it one in which they should be assis- ted in leaving. I believe that with a more thorough education of the colored race, crime and criminals will decrease, as the race increases in attaining education. Education will make them better acquainted with the duties and requisites of pure citizenship, and thus make them better citizens — necessarily and consequently reducing criminality among them. Another great and most humiliating cause of crime among the colored people is their constant change of rural life—the farm—to the over crowded and congested city life. The inflnx of the colored people from the farm to the city tends greatly to increase crime among them. There are many reasons why this is true. In the first, the colored man, when he enters the city, finds the trades, professions, and usual business pursuits tightly closed against him; he finds that his only avenues of life are those of a day laborer, and the result is, that he is reduced sooner or later to want, and in many cases to crime. If the average colored man in the city would go on the farm, in a short time crime among them would be at a low ebb, if not almost wholly vanished. But as long as the race continues to crowd in the city where their chances for making a living are reduced, so long will crime not only continue, but will increase. The colored man, as a rule, is not a desperate criminal, but on the other hand is regarded as a "petit criminel," that is to say, he usually does just enough to land him in prison. It is a sad sight to see men—many of them fathers of large families walking the streets of a city from day to day—"hunting a job"—wasting their energy—on the street corner when they could be making it of good service to themselves, their families, and the community at lasge on a farm. In many of such cases the sole support for the family is made by the faithful and industrious wife and mother, while husband is walking the streets of the city in perfect and contented idleness. What could be, or what is more disgusting than to see a husband who is strong and healthy, sit at the head of the table and eat a meal that was earned and cooked by the wife and mother while the husband WICHITA, KANSAS, SATURDAY, MARCH 15. walks the streets? What a bad example he sets for his children. If the colored men would be as industrious, and thrifty as the colored women, the race would soon stand among the most highly respected in the world. If the colored men would take their families to the farm where the opportunities are greater only a short while would prove the correctness of my observation, when I say the colored men make a great mistake by crowding to the cities. They must ere long learn, that to be great and noble, a race must be a producing people as well as a consuming one. The white man is the power in this country because he has farms and is a farmer in like proportions as he is other wise engaged; and the colored man must learn that to be a power, ee must likewise he must be a farmer as he is otherwise engaged. With the many obstacles in the way of the colored men in the city they must yet learn to turn to farming. With better education, more care and protection to their wives, daughters and sisters, and better industrial examples of the colored men to their families, and becoming farmers, producers, is my solution for crime among them, and it is thus, I attribute the greater proposition of colored than white convicts, as to population, and the dominancy of the younger to the the elderly and middle aged colored man as convicts."

Nashville, Tennessee, worth $25,000, with a debt of $7,000 hanging over it, was sold last week at auction. It was the oldest congregation of African Methodists in that city and he faithful members stood around and wept as it went from their grasp. There are about six or seven heavy debt churches in the A. M. E. Zion church which we hope can be cleared of debt and saved. Let ministers of Zion be wise and not for a big name build and buy churches whose debts will be difficult to pay.—Star of Zion. Trouble In Nebraska University. There is trouble in the Nebraska State University because Booker T. Washington has been invited to address the students. The color line is being drawn again and, where such nonsense is least excusable. The Tuskegee principal is a speaker to whom it is a delight to listen and the students at the Nebraska University should feel highly honored by his acceptance of any invitation to appear before them. He is not seeking opportunities to display his oratory. These come to him unsought. He is in constant demand as a speaker all over the United States. When he talks in public he delivers a message which is an inspiration to every man priveleged to hear it, and any gathering of white people is honored by his willingness to address it. The Nebraska boys ought to be switched. Brooklyn Daily Eagle, Jonesboro, a new village now being laid out at Fort Lee, five miles from Richmond, Va., is to be populated by Negroes only. Negroes Forced On Farms Down south the country and owners are urging drastic town measures force the "Negro loafers" back on to the plantations so that labor there will become more plentiful and cheap. From southern Indiana comes a report that white country labor in secret organization is threatening to burn the buildings of farmers who employ Negro labor. Evidntly the only way for the Negro to satisfy all classes of whites is to get off the earth.—Springfield Republican.

To ask "should the Negro be in politics?" is to ask a question which readily answers itself. Yes is our, answer. The Negro has the same right to be in politics, as he has to be a citizen, free, and equal. It is an inherent right which no man or set of men has a right to deny. The cry of some white men that the Negro would fare better if he would entirely drop from the political arena, is the cry from the men who fear the Negro in politics, not, because the Negro is a menace to the white man's political happiness, but because that class of white men fear him as a political foe. The Negro in politics, in his own self, aside from the corrupting influences of the white "ringster" and white political "trickster" is as puro as any man; but like others he has the misfortune especially south of the Mason and Dixon line to be trapped and polluted of his purity, in a manner. HAVE YOU REGISTERED? This is a most important question to the colored voter of Wichita. You cannot vote at the Spring election unless you register. The colored voters have much at stake in the coming election. Do you know that a petition is being circulated to ask the City Council to replace the colored firemen of No. 3 with white men? ts so. Do you know that an effort is being made by the opposition to cut down the force of colored men now on the city pay roll? That is so, just the same. There is only one way by which the colored people can keep these colored men at work, and that is, by the re-election of J. F. Bellow, of the 1st ward; Chas. H. Luling, of the 2nd ward; Fred Van Duyne of the 3d ward; C. L. Davidson, of the 4th ward; J. A. Davison, of the 5th ward and by electing Jno. Reynolds, of the 6th war$^2$. These men are all true and tried friends of the voters, and as long as they are in the council not one job now held by colored men will be taken from them. But you cannot help to elect them unless register. Go down today and register. Take your wife, son and daughter down and have them register at once. Do not delay till too row, but to-day The colored people in the 2nd, 3d and 4th wards in particulnr, should see to it that every colored voter is registered.

The enthriseasm of the caucas was characteristic of a simion pure republican meeting. Every one was good natured and every one enthused. The caucas was called to order by Hon. Ben H. Downing, the very capable committeeman from that ward. Mr. Downing after calling the caucas to order stated that its object was to endorse a candidate for city Treasurer to nominate a councilman and also to nominate a candidate for the school board. After Mr. Downing had stated the object; Capt. Sam W. Jones, gained the floor and in a neatly worded, enthuseastic and well placed speed, nominated Mr. Geo E. Harris, the present very capable incumbent, as the candidate for city Treasurer, and Mr. Harris, was endorsed The next nomination being that of councilman, W. N. Miller gained the floor and nominated Hon. Chas. H. Luling, the colored man's friened. The caucus almost went wild with enthusiasm at the meation of Mr. Lulings name, and he was declared the unaimous choice of the caucus as its candidate for councilman; The next came a member of the School Board. Judge Thos. C. Wilson placed Hon. — Jackmon in nomination and he was declared the nominee. After the nominations were made, the caucas called for Luling, Harris and Jackman and each made a speech. On motion of W. N. Miller the caucas adjoined. The descriptive article of the opening of the Rock Island Extension to Mexico, which appeared in last Sunday's Wichita Eagle, was one to be highly appreciated. Much credit is due Mr. David Leaby, who was the Eagle's representative on the initial trip, and Mr. Victor Murdock, who engineered the article. The gentlemen did well. Geo. H. Alexander is an aspirant for the nomination as representative from the district represented by Chas. H. Luling at this time. His candidacy is on the proviso to Mr. Luling receives the nomination as State Insurance Commissioner. As Luling is almost sure to land the Commissersonship it stands pretty sure that George is in line for the nomination.
