THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT YOU CAN SAVE MONEY BY TRADING WITH THE MERCHANTS WHO ADVERTISE IN THIS PAPER. 4TH YEAR. CRUMPACKER'S LATEST WARNING. The Indiana Congressman Speaks Out in the July Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly. In a very lucid article in the July Frank Leslie's, Judge Crumpacker concludes his article thus as to the needs for his bill for reduction of Southern representation: "Representatives of Southern sentiment ask for the repeal of the fifteenth amendment and declare their willingness to accept a white population basis for representation if they be allowed to disfranchise the Negro simply because he is a segro. They do not ask this for the protection of the ballot from ignorance and corruption, for they have ample power to do that now, out for the purpose of reducing the colored race to a condition of complete and permanent subjection, which is difficult to do as long as raftage remains in prospect. It is the policy of the South that the Negro must always occupy a position of absolute subordination in all departments of life. If he develops intellectual and moral force he will aspire to a higher plane of life and will naturally contest some of the fields of useful activity now monopolized by the white brother, and that can never be tolerated. The Southern mind cannot corceive of the advancement of the advancement of the Negro in the arts of civilization without racial fusion and consequent debasement of the white population. The inevitable result of this philosophy is intellectual and political enslavement for the Negro, the stifling of every ambition, the suppression of every hope. Can such a condition be contemplated with complacency? Is it not possible for the Negro to acquire the sturdy qualities that are the foundation of true monhood, and to improve his condition without misgement and social degradation? Social equality cannot be created by legislation, and it is not the necessary consequence of political equality. In the northern states there is political equality, but it has not resulted in any degree in racial fusion. Social laws and customs are adequate to protect the purity of the dominant race against the inundation of colored blood. "Let the Negro have every right on honestly earns and give him nothing he does not earn. Let him educate and advance if he will, and if he violates the law, let him be punished in the courts and not by swines mobs. There is no doubt that the Negro is capable of unlimited development, but he must buy the virtues of civil life at the same cost as the white man. Legislation can only surround him with conditions that will enable him to work out his own destiny. The greatest promotive power in the federal government is that which reposes in the fourteenth amendment—the power to rduce the political influence of states that deny him participation in politics. This great power should not be employed for martian purposes, but to aid in upfitting the race on whose account it was written into the conitttution. The young man who expects to be a millionare tomorrow. Will find ere many a sun he sees. That he expected to his sorow. Miss Fannie E. Motin and Mr. J. H. Holber did themselvas great credit Friday night. HARVEST RALLY. On next Sunday, Rev. H V. Plummer will give his big Harvest Rally at the 2nd Baptist church. A fine program has been prepared for the day and Rev. Plummer looks forward for a grand time. All the other pastors and their congregations have been invited to take part in the exercises and nothing will be left undone to make the occasion a memorable one. The money raised at this rally will be used to repaint the church. Rev. Plummer has worked hard and is still working to make the 2nd Baptist church one of the most beautiful church buildings in the state and he earnestly asks the friends to come forward on Sunday, July 13th. Bring your pocket book Much talk, little do Brings much woo-woo-woo. —Editor We have been investigating the reason why no colored men have been at work putting down the conduits for the new Telephone Co. We find the reason to be that a Democrat, Mr. Jas Burton, has that part of the work in charge, hence no colored men have worked. However, we think it a dirty shame that out of all this work not a colored man has been permitted to earn one dollar. The work is now almost completed and yet no colored man. We will not accept any kind of apology, because we are firmly of the opinion that it was an intentional oversight on the part of Mr. Burton. The colored men deserved some of that work and by all means at least six out of about 100 men should have been colored. So it goes. We did our duty by investigating. FINE. The Dramatic Recital given by Miss F. E. Motin, supported by Mr. J. H. Holbert, Friday night, July 4th, was a grand one and was a success. This recital marks both as among the best and most talented who have appeared before the Wichita audience. Miss Motin, by her originally recitals, won the esteem and admiration of the large audience which filled the Garfield hall, while Mr. Holbert by his reproductive ability in his Shakespeare section proved himself also to be one of our foremost. In all the recital was more than even the most fastidious could expect and all were well pleased and hope that it may be repeated in the near future. Several persons have attempted to induce the Editor of this paper to run his "cut" in the paper; but he, being a man who always trys to respect the feelings of others, has faithfully declined out of pure regard for his many readers. We think that the readers will now be releived. Don't you? PAY AT THE OFFICE. We kindly ask as many of our patrons as can, to call at our office and pay what they owe. It takes money, and heaps of it too, to run a paper and as our list is getting so very large in Wichita, we kindly ask you to aid us this much by callinn at the office, 110 N. Main st., and paying. There will always be some one there who can tell you your account and give you the proper receipt. AMONG OUR ADVERTISERS. Messers Schmidt and Martin, proprietors of the 5c & 10s store at 207 209 E.

Moore, secretary, Hutchinson, Kans., giving him your address, and he will mail you a premium list. POLICE IMPROVEMENTS. Much credit is due Chief of Police, Frank S. Burt, for his untiring efforts to give Wichita one of the best, most competent and well equipped police departments in the West. Since taking the office of Chief he has made many needed and lasting improvements in the department; he has had lockers built for each member of the force; has fitted the officers with new up-to-date uniforms; has each member supplied with storm coats and rubber boots; has inaugurated the metropolitan "official letter information" system; and has caused the department head quaaters to be revarnished and re painted. His latest addition is the installation of the Bertillion system of identifying criminals, which is considered an indespensible part of police furniture. The syslem is now a fixture in Wichita. He has also prepared a women's cell in the front part of the basement of the City Hall, apart and entirely separate from that part occupied by the male prisoners. This is a much needed imp overment, but not more so than others here mentioned. After much faithwork the Chief has Wichita's department one of the best equipped, most efficient dnd complete in the West. Ice Cream and lunch served at Centropolis Hotel, 605 N. Main, every evening-stop by when wanting either. WALLAGE'S GIRGUS AND CHILDREN. A Commendable Effort is Made to please and Instruct the Children. When the lengthy street parade of the Great Wallace Show passes through the principal streets of Wichita, on Saturday, July 26th, a section of the procession of glittering display will be of particular interest to the little folks. We refer to the miniature menagerie department. One of the innumerable attractions to be found with the Wallace Show is a complete miniature circus of dog, goat and pony show. Mr. Wallace has one hundred and twenty of the prettiest Shetland ponies imaginable. They vary in size, ranging from the size of a poodle dog to a large St. Bernard. Their remarkable intelligence adds to their cuteness. They are well kept and groomed and are harnessed with rich ornamental trappings and driven in four and eight horse teams. The fifteen miniature cages and chariots which are drawn by the ponies are in perfect immitation of the larger dens to be seen in the parade. The hundred fat, beautiful ponies lend enchantment to the Wallace parade as only such an equine display can do. To see the parade of the Wallace Show is worth miles of travel. By all means make the hearts of the little folks glad by taking them down to see the parade. The Wallace parade is, like its performance entirely different from that of most shows. In the Wallace Circus this year there is an unusually large number of trained animal acts, including a group o trained Arkansas razor-backed pigs and sheep. This feature with the assistance of twenty-five funny clowns, does much to please the juvenile and feminine portion of the patrons. The Great Wallace Show will exhibit one day only in Wichita, Saturday, July 26th. NO SUCH THING AS FEAR. EVER SHOWN BY THE NEGROES AS SOLDIEES Reckless Bravery of the D'Ninth Cavalry in Cooup D'Alene Riots. (New York Tribune.) The Southerners used to say that the Negroes would never make good soldiers, but the Ninth cavalry, a Negro regiment, has completely upset this theory. The Ninth is a gallant and extremely effective regiment, and to it as a body, to its members as individuals, there is no such thing as fear. In the Coeur d'Alene riots in Idaho the Ninth cavalry made an enduring record for bravery. From the moment when the first regiment went into action against the rioters its reputation for reckless bravery, coupled with coolness and determination when in action, was made. The tale of the Coeur d'Alene riots is one of unbridled lawlessness, of rapine, of destruction of property and of bloodshed. One of the first acts of the strikers was to coast a dynamite loaded car down an incline. It exploded at the bottom and 60 lives were sacrificee. This wholesale killing was followed by others until the whole countryside was in a state of terror, and the only law was mob law, and anarchy seemed completely enthroned. It was when things had come to this pass that the Ninth cavalry eame, and what a coming it was! Upon those hardy mine owners who had braved the dangers that beset them and remained to guard their properties, the strikers had served notice that they must leave the country. Eleven o'clock on the following day was set as the hour of departure, and the penalty of disobedience to this arbitrary fiat was death. The mine owners knew but the strikers did not that the Ninth cavalry had been ordered to the Coeur d'Alene region and was due at 10:30 o'clock, one short half hour earlier than the time scheduled for their own enforced departure. After an anxious night came an equally anxious day. Would the Ninth cavalry arrive in time? That was the burning question. The railroad tracks lay along the side of a creek which was crossed by a bridge, under which the strikers had placed dynamite in a large quantity. Across the creek a hill arose, and this hill was bare of grass or trees. Fire had scorched and killed all vegetation on it, and its sides in consequence bleak and forbidding. Upon its shoulders and crest the strikers began to assemble as the dawn grew into day. Their purpose was to make good their threat that the mine owners should "hit the pike" at 11 o'clock. Half past 10 therefore found them in omitation force upon the hillside. Then came the Ninth, and as the train that carried them began to to slow up, the colored troops poured the cars. With whoops NO.7 and wild yells the bridgr was taken before the astounded rioters even thought of exploding the dyna.nite that lay beneath it. The bridge crossed, the Ninth rushed on the hill, the bare sides of which were crowded with the strikers. Then the strikers opened fire, and the troops replied without stopping their onward rush. It was a game of each man for himself and each man in the Ninth was trying to get to the top of that hill first. So on they charged and, without check to pace, fired as they went. Nothing human could have withstood that that rrsh, and the rioters, albeit they had in some cases behaved like fiends, were only human after all. So after a determined resistance they broke and ran, while the black wave surged to the top of the hill—and stayed. there More than a hundred and fifty strikers lay dead or wounded on that hillside, and with, among and beyoud them lay many of the black soldiers. It was a fearful lesson, but marked the beginning of the end, and the Ninth stayed in the Coeur d'Alene region till order was restored. While this took months to accomplish and many encounters with the rioters occurred, there was no pitched battle again. The Southerner "befo' de wah" did not believe the Megro possess-fighting ability, a belief in which many in the North shared, and this belief to a certain extent is maintained to this day. It is not so, however, in the northwest—there they neither believe nor dibelieve—they know, and know from bitter experience. No better fighter than the African live, when he is well officered and well drilled. Whether or not he can command as well as serve, the future may prove. As a soldier in the ranks, however, the Negro has proved himself to be of a metal that rings true and to be possessed of courage, coolness and daring when in action. Attention!!! 23 K. V. I.

We delight in seeing them in the various avenues of life, working and making an onward and upward march in life. We know, however, that there are many who do not appreciate a good turn, but we have never yet permitted our course in the advocacy for the rights and equal justice of our race to be changed by the ungratfulness of a few men or women. We go along day by day and sow a good seed wherever possible, with the one thought that some day it will take root and grow, ripen and stand forth as a beacon light to give some weary race traveler success. Those persons who never know how to fully appreciate will some day, when we hope, not too late, realize how really small they are, even in their own estimation and will try to retrace their steps. We belieee in, and will always advocate the just cause of our people, because it is just. We are with them when they are right, because they are right; and we are still with them when they are wrong, in order to help get them right. We are, and will be with them always, because we are a part of them and glory in their success. We heartily thank Rev. Dr. A. C. Terrill, pastor, and the officers of the A. M. E church for their most liberal donation of $1.00 to this paper as a recognition of what we have from time to time said in behalf of the church during their work to clear the church debt and reach the dedication. We wish to say to them that it is the motive and spirit in which this donation was given that stands out boldly, and we accept it and wish the good pastor and his members a continued success. If some of the younger people are not a little more careful in their conduct on the streets and in public places we will turn the Searchlight loose and find out a few names. You can be good if you will. Will you? Local and Personal. We wish to heartily thank Councilman W. F. Schell of the 2nd ward for some very nice pieces of job work which he so kindly turned over to this office Monday. This shows conclusively that Mr. Schell appreciates enterprises among our people and he stands ready at any time to help them on to success. We thank him again and will highly appreciate another such fine order. Mrs. T. L. Adams, who has resided at Mr. Sam Anderson's home, 208 Waco, for the past four years, is now preparing to take a trip for the summer.

The dedication services began promptly at 10:30 a.m. and were opened by the Rt. Rev. C. T.

The Bishop was escorted to the rostum where he read the LXXXIV Psalm; at the conclusion of which the choir chanted the CXXII Psalm, followed by the Great Prayer of Solomon offered by the Bishop. The Bishop was introduced by Rev. Dr. A. C. Terrill, and then preached the Dedicatory sermon. He delivered a sermon that for learned and scriptorial teaching and eloquence was grand in the highest. The spacious church was filled to its utmost capacity and the Dedication was a grand one. Rev. J. W. Wilson of Garnett the pastor who built the church, was present and took an interestiog part in the proceedings. Rev. Wilson has a reputation as a builder of good churches and it was well fitted that he be present. There is no question that Rev.

Mrs. Sage, however, was less reticent and said: “There is absolutely no truth in the report.’ Saved the Baby. New Providence, lowa, July 7th.— Little Helen Moon, the three-year- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. B. V. ‘Moon of this place, had a narrow es- cape from death. Her mother noticed she semed to be very clumsy and complained when she was rocked. Her limbs and face were bloated badly. A doctor was summoned but she got no better. He said she had Kid ney Trouble in the worst form. Two other doctors were called in and they agreed that there was very little, if any, hope. She was bloated all over, her eyes being completely closed and her abdomen bloated un- til it was purple. They bought six boxes of Dodd's Kidney Pills and she commenced to improve at once. She had used nine boxes before the Dropsy was all gone. The treatment was continued and now she is as well as ever. Dodd’s Kidney Pills certainly saved the little one’s life.
