Wichita Searchlight

THE WICHITA SEARCHLIGHT Some of the men who will Win this Fall. Vote for Them 4TH YEAR. C. H. LULING, Wichita has the honor to again ave a representative on the Republian state ticket, this time in the arson of Hon. Charles H. Luling, publican nominee for Superin- dent of insurance. Mr. Luling is born in New York, but was PETER H. HARRIS Hon. Charles H. Luling, A Colored Man's Friend. The Next State Insurance Commissioner ised and educated at Fondulac, Miss., his course in the higher branch including a knowledge of the winter's trade and of expert bookkeeping. After serving several years as bookkeeper and traveling salesman, he bought a newspaper in Annabail, Mo., but got enough of it in three years, and came to Kansas, first to Montgomery county and then in 1880 to Wichita. At first bookkeeping, then real estate and the insurance with a good sprinkling of politics mixed in, has made it a strenuous life. Mr. Luling is a worker. He is a man who can do more things at once and do them well than most men. At present he is a member of the council, a member of the Legislature, Secretary of the Kansas Commission to the Louisiana exposition, and at the same time a general agent of the New York Life Insurance Co., doing much bussiness as any agent this great company has in the United States and commanding a good salary. Nothing Mr. Luling has to do ever neglected. When he says he says he will do a thing you can do on its being done. During his first term in the Legislature he made himself known as one of the strong men in that body. He is a positive force, and when he takes up line of work it is carried on with aggressiveness that usually wins. He has great organizing and execution ability. He will be invaluable to the people in the office of Insurance commissioner. He can be deended upon to care for the interests, of the people, for though a man of his aggressiveness is bound to stir up enemies, no one has ever questioned his integrity. Sedgwick county will without doubt give Mr. Luling a handsome indorsement at the polls this fall. He has always received big majoritree when a candidate. Mr. Luling does not expect to make much of a campaign in his own county, but will devote his time elsewhere, leaving Sedgwick to the care of his friends, who are not confined to any one party. He is not, or need not be afraid of the result either in county or state. Mr. Luling belongs to a number of the external orders, the A. O. U. W., sons of Herman, Knights of Pythias, Elks, and the Odd Fellows M. M. McCOLLISTER. M. M. McCollister was born in Green county, Ohio, in 1846, and resided there until the war broke out, when at the age of 15 he enlisted at the call of his country, first in the three months' service in 1861, and then in 1862 enlisted with his father in the 95th Obio, and served until the fall of 1863, when he was discharged on account of disability. In 1864 he moved to Montezuma, Iowa, and ten years later came to Sedgwick county. Most of these years were spent on the farm down on the Cowskin. "Mack," as his friends all know him, has always been handicapped in the race of life by his crippled condition, but in spite of poverty, sickness, a large family, and hard luck, he never owed a debt that he did not pay. He is loyal to his friends and conscientious in the discharge of his duties. He acted as deputy sheriff and bailiff for four years under Sheriffs Ault and Royse, and made a good officer. He served two terms as coroner a number of A. B. years ago, and was ever found faith ful and honest and saved the county many dollars that a less conscientious man would have added to the expense list. The old man needs the place, and nearly every body, irrespective of party, wants him to have it. We print a picture of Mack from the first photograph he has had taken in thirty years. JOHN BUSENBARK. It is a matter of regret that the Searoblight is unable to present a picture of the Rpublican candidate for county commissioner of the 1st district, but Mr. Busenbark had no photograph at hand, and the matter was delayed too long to have one finished in time to make a cut for this issue. John Busenbark came to Kansas in March 1875 and settled in Minneha township. Late in the eighties he left the farm and bought out a livery stock on South Main, which he conducted until the spring of '96, when he purchased a farm in Kechi township, which is his present home. Mr. Busenbark has always been noted among his neighbors for his excellent judgement and his practical common sense. When he believes a thing is right he has got the nerve to stand up for it. He is not the kind of a man that can be shifted about by the varying winds of Kansas, but sets his course in the direction he believes is right, and aims directly for the object beyond, no matter whether fog or tempest obstruct. Sueh a man is the kind needed in the commissioner's office—one WICHITA, KANSAS, OCT 18, 1902. [Name not visible] Probate Judge T. C. Wilson A Favorite with Everyone. who will know the right when he sees it, and stick to it after he knows it. Mr. Busenbark is a man whose integrity is unquestioned, who bears the closest of friendship with those who know him best. He is cool and deliberate in his judgement and the interest of the county will be in good hands when he takes his place in the commissioners office. REGISTER TO-DAY!! THOS C. WILSON Thos. C. Wilson, Republican nominee for Probate Judge, was born in New Jersey. He is a graduate of the Pennington Seminary, Penning Probate Judge A Favorite w ton. New Jersey, of the Wesley University of Middletown, Penn., and of the law department of the University of Pennsylvania. Thus fitted with a splendid education he came westward to seek his fortune, arriving in Wichita in January 1887, opening a law office in this city and has since been engaged in the active practice of his profession, and is counted as one of the leading members of the Wichita bar. Mr. Wilson stands high with the members of his profession, who have ever found him fair courteous. He stands well with the public because he has ever been found square and dependable. Two years ago he received the Republican nomination for Probate Judge and made a remarkable campaign, carrying the county by a majority of 667, which was a greater majority than that of Stanley and McKinley together, being the only Republican elected on the entire county ticket. In this connection it will be remembered that Mr. Wilson is the only Republican county nominee that has carried Delano township since the days of Populism. Such a result was not a mere hap pen so. It proved that Tom Wilson has a host of Democratic and Populist as well as Republican friends, And he has a great many more of them to day. They believed in him before. Now they know he is true. They have tried him for two years. You do not hear any notes of complaint. You do not hear any talk about hold-ups and exhorbitant prices. You do not hear any one about favoritism and partizanship in the administration of the affairs of the office. On the other hand you do hear words of praise from every source. The office has been conducted economically. The county has been saved extra charges wherever practical. Estates have not been allowed to drag on year after year at heavy expense, but have been settled speedily and cheaply. The difficult e T. C. Wilson, with Everyone. and embarrassing tasks of handling reform school cases and caring for depraved children have been admirably and tactfully performed. In all such matters Judge Wilson has received the praise of honest men and good citizens, and has deserved it all. No more important office exists in the county. On the integrity, carefulness and good judgement of the Probate Judge depends the welfare of the estates left to their children and loved ones by the deceased. It depends upon his management whether these estates flourish or decline. It can be seen therefore that it takes more than honesty—it takes rare good judgement—to properly administer the office of Probate Judge. These qualities Mr. Wilson possesses. He has the experience of two years in the office and is therefore much better qualified to do his duty than he was two years ago. We could tell of many instances that have come under our personal knowledge which have proved to us that Mr. Wilson is eminently qualified for the peculiar duties of his office, but we will not take the space at this time. We are satisfied that the people of Sedgwick county will make no mistake in this matter. M. B. Prof. A. D. Taylor, Our Next County Superintendent. was born in Cedar county, Iowa, in 1866. He moved with his parents to Sedgwick county, Kansas in 1871, and settled on a homestead near Mt. Hope where his father still resides. His boyhood days were spent on the farm where he completed his common school education and set out to make his own way in life at the age of eighteen. Working by the month as a farm hand he managed to save enough money to take him away to school where he began to make preparation for teaching. He then taught school in the winter and went away to school during the summer months, attending some of the best schools in the state. Mr. Taylor has now taught in the district schools for fifteen years and can furnish some of the best of references as to his ability as a teacher. He has held a first grade certificate for over ten years and has served two terms as a member of the county examining board. He is thoroughly familiar with the duties of the office of county superintendent and finely equipped for the place. He has the quality of doing just what he says he will do, no matter what the cost to himielf. He is thoroughly abreast with the progress of the times and will keep the schools of Sedwick county out of the ruts. Mr. Taylor will not be able to make as thorough a canvass of the county as he would otherwise do, on account of commencing a term of school on Sept. 15th. This will in no wise interfere, however, with the superintendency, as under the new law the county superintendent's term express the middle of May, while Mr. Taylar's school will be over in April. The people in Sedgwick county, interested as they are in the schools to which their children go, could not do better than place A. D. Taylor in the office of county superintendent.

Moved to Shelby county at the age of seven years and lived there until the war broke out, when he enlisted at Sidney in the 99th Ohio in 1862. On Sept. 20, 1863, during the battle of Chicamauga, he was taken prisoner, and lay in Southern prison pens until February 1865, when he was exchanged. He was discharged May 30, 1865. Returning to Shelby county he entered upon his present avocation—civil engineering and surveying. After all the roads in that country had been transformed into free turnpikes he began to look to the west for a new opening, luckily coming to Wichita, arriving here in the latter part of 1884, just before the boom. Like all others in Wichita he prospered while the boom was on and went down with the rest when it was over. He was elected county surveyor and held the office for the term of 1884 85, and is now assistant city engineer. During his term as county surveyor he made many legal S Hon. W. R. Kessler, The Man To Elect For County Surveyor surveys and never had an appeal taken from any of them. This is only an evidence that he thoroughly understands his business. Thirty-five years of practical experience certainly has made him proficient in the practice of his profession. There is absolutely no question about his competency. The county's interest will be honestly and conscientiously looked after with him in the surveyor's office. There are those who think that no one should have a life lease on any one office. The framers of the state constitution in their wisdom limited two of the county offices to two terms, and it is an unwritten law in state and nation that two terms is the limit, and yet the opposing candidate to Mr.-Kersler has been nominated for a fourth consecutive term. It is quite certain that the people this fall will be ready to pass this office around. Mr. Kessler is the present commander of Garfield Post of this city and is held in high esteem by people of all parties. There is absolutely no reason why he should not be elected by a splendid majority. Henry Schad is the logical and proper man for the office of Sheriff Mr. Schad will land ali the votes of the colored people and will be elected by a handsome majority. THE SEARCHLIGHT. WICHITA, KANS.

In the first place he is in a district that is normally Republican by sev- [Picture of a man with a mustache and a suit]. Hon. Adolph C. Husey, Our Next Rep. 72nd District oral hundred majority, and in the second place and what is much surer than regulation majorities, every body likes Mr. Husey and he is qualified to make an excellent legislator. Mr. Husey was born in Switzerland, but this does not prevent him from claiming a longer residence in Kansas than any other man on the ticket, coming from Switzerland to Leavenworth forty-six years ago at the age of nine months. He landed in Wichita 25 years ago and started a cigar factory and has made a success of it. He has employed a large number of laboring men, and has never had a strike or laboring trouble. He has been a member of the school board, and during Morrill's administration was secretary of the police commission. He is so thoroughly well liked that the man whom the opposition named to run against him, realizing the utter impossibility of success has withdrawn from the race, leaving him a clear field up to this time. There is not a man on the ticket but would be glad to change chances with Mr. Husey. Get a Searchlight, if you want the news. 823 North Main st.

Amos Tyler was arrested Monday evening py officer Quaries at the instigation of Mrs. Ella Glenn Shields, Police Matron, charged with inhumanly beating his little 5 year old step-son, Wesley Perry. We were shown the child's head, stomach and back and we must confess that we have never seen a case of such punishment meted out to a mere baby before. The full prints of the rope, which was donbled and used, were plainly visible all over the poor little boy. There were whelps as large as a man's little finger the full length of the child's back and breast and one long gash cut across the face by the rope; It was certainly a case of cruel and unnecessary beating of a child. The cause is conflicting, but, that, beating was inhuman is certain. Mrs. Shields took the matter up with county attorney Conley, who has filed a state charge against Tyler. Mrs. Shields is determined that such beating of children shall cease in Wichita and in this position she is backed by all the people of Wichita regardless of color and any thing else. It is claimed that an example will be made of Tyler H. H. Hess & Co., Bicycles, Guns, Ammunition, Atheletic Goods. Phone 444 209 North Main St. Have you registered? If not, do so at once.

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.—A woman who, according to her story, was living at the time of Boston Tea Party and the meeting of the first Continental Congress, is dead at the Home for Aged and Infirm Colored People. If the reports of her age are correct, she was the oldest person in Illinois, and possibly in the United States. She was Ellen Stewart, a slave be fore the civil war, three times married, and mother of four children, the last of whom died several years ago of old age. According to her story she was born in 1770. The officials of the institution in which she died, after an investigation as thorough as could be made, credited her statement. Until within a few months of her death she was in complete control of her senses, and told many stories of men and women distinguished in their earlier days of Virginia and Kentucky.

In the swamps of Arkansas, To Mr. W. N. Miller, Dear Sir:—I have just returned from a deer chase and am now sitting on a log at camp writing you this letter while the boys are cooking a big fat turkey that I picked from the top of a gum tree with my Winchester at 10 o'clock this morning. Now you will have to wait a moment until I take a shot at a big ratler that is crawling up toward this log that I am sitting on, for I don't need any rattle snakes to help me write this letter to you. They are too big, for I tell you, old boy the snakes are so big down here until it would take one whole Searchlight to make a bonnet to cover one's head. Saturday morning I killed 2 turkeys and 72 quails and took two shots at a big lunk, and missed it. The old man killed a fine deer today. The musquitoes are as big as Kansas quails down here and there bills are 4 inches long. My bed is on 4 forked sticks and reaches near the top of the tent. I am having a fine time down here. There are all kinds of game here. The boys are going out tomorrow to chase a bear but I guess I will stay at camp. Well, it is getting dark and I will have to close. I will be home the last of the week. Give my regards to the Searchlight. Respectfully Yours, Jas. Jackson. Cool Colorado THE PLACE TO GO.

Hilton, Bryan Snyder, Gha'l Pass. Agt. Pass. Traffic Mgr. ST. LOUIS, MO. THE NEGRO AND THE NORTH. Almost every day brings new evidence that the North now is socially about as unfriendly and hostile to the Negro as the South. The latest prominent instance that there is a strong prejudice against the black man on this side of the Mason and Dixon line, as well as on the other, comes from that great Methodist educational institution, Northwestern University, at Evanston, Ill. The edict has gone forth from the Women's Educational association, which has control of the dormitories for women at the University, that Negro women will be no longer admitted. While this does not exclude them from attending the University, it will practically result in exclusion. No reason of any consequence was given for this discrimination save that of color. Once upon a time the North felt somewhat differently about the race problem of the country. It had a sort of sense of especial responsibility for the unfortunate black people of the South that grew out of the Civil War. The North had fought to set them free and it felt that it ought to fight to put them on a higher plane. There was in those earlier days much talk about the equality of the races before the law and before God, and so on. It sounded well and promised much. But that was all while the Negro stayed in the South. Since he has come North views have changed a bit, and this North western Univer- It is easy to dispose of another man's troubles. Northern philanthropists could theorize most admirably about methods of dealing with the Negro problem as long as the South. Since the black man has been coming North many of these philanthropists have been sorely tried. The problem was at their very threshold and—it was different. A Norteern man who goes South to live usually comes bck with different ideas about the race problem than before he saw it in its fullest extent. He is willing to admit that the South knows something about it, and perhaps it has suggestions that may be of value. It is to be hoped that ostracism of the Negro in the North will not grow to any harmful extent. However, the Negro's salvation depends upon himself, and he will rise in the social scale just as far as he can lift himself. He needs the opportunity for education, however, and it is the duty of the white man to provide him with this opportunity. Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
