The positive action of Gov. Richardan of Mississippi in stepping between Negroes as alleged murderers and public violence comes as a surprise to the people of Mississippi and of the country in view of his recent beaches in which he attempted show the impossibility of educating the Negro up to any sort an equality with the white man, at the same time express this opinion as to the general withlessness of the black race. His apparent contradiction owes him to be at least a fair ended executive officer.
sunday, Feb. 18, Gov. Vardan made a hasty journey to cesville with a company of itia to save from being burnat the stake Albert Baldwin, segro who was to have alleged committed murder in killing engineer Fogarty.
he was hardly rested from
enterprise when he was no-
saw at Meridian of J. J. Paris a
man who murdered two mail
mails in a car on the Alabama
at Northern Railway. He
is told there was a possibility
a lynching. He promptly tel-
lenced Maj. Dement to report
with his batallion fully armed at
ice and guard the prisoner at
hazards.
STANDS BY LAWS.
Speaking of his promptness in
going to the rescue of two ne-
ces within so short a time Gov.
ardaman said:
I really do not think the people of Mississippi need any moral reasons. They are already the best law-abiding, law-respecting people on earth, and the mob never manifests itself except in cases where some brutish groper perpetrates a most atrocious crime against a white pern. I can sympathize thoroughly with one whose friend or relative has been outraged or atroiously murdered by a black man, and, I am not going to ensure the people who act a male indiscretely under the insistence of passion thus aroused, that there is one thing certain, the law must be upheld, and so long as I occupy the gubernatorial chair, I shall do all within my power to see that the laws are forced. The courts must permit their functions. When this done the people will be satisfied."
LEGISLATURE APPROVES.
The spirit of the people with
gard to the summary punish
ment of negro criminals is shown by the following resolution introduced in the legislature Monday and adopted by the House. "Whereas the legislature of the state of Mississippi represents a people who rightfully claim the purest blood of the Anglo-Saxon race, which race is the highest type of the world's civilization, the leaders in the evangelization of earth and whose policy and boast is the protection of all down trodden people, and
"Whereas, We have condemned for 200 years the burning of women as witches in New England and the murder of Pratestants in France, and later have sent vigorous protests to Turkish atrocities in the Balkan peninsula, and have given an earnest disapproval of Russia's cowardly massacre of the Jews.
Therefore be it resolved by the house of representatives of the legislature of the state of Mississippi, that it views with alarm the increasing occurrences and deprecates, condoms and abhors the fiendish act of burning to death a human being and extend to her governor's state commendation for his prompt action on the 27th inst.
SOUTH APPLAUDS.
The action of Gov. Vardaman in taking personal charge of the militia, and going to Batesville rescue a negro that had been marked for a human sacrifice is winning applause for him all over the South.
RECENT UTTERANCES.
His recent radical utterances on the political rights of the negro had led many persons to believe that he was a negro hater, and would countenance any outrages that were perpetrated against the negro, but they were mistaken. Gov. Vardaman's views on the negro question are radical ones, but they seem not to go so far as the extermination of the Negro or the setting at defiance the laws of the state.
OH1O NOW.
The burning at the stake of a colored man in Springfield, Ohio, last week shows that the "lynch bee" is now more purely a southern product. In the home of the late Marcus A. Hanna, and in the home state of the late President McKinley it seems almost incredible that such an occurrence could take place. But it did. Surely the Negroes opportunities before the law are be-
WICHITA, KANSAS, MARCH 19, 1904.
Does not Need
Negro Votes
For the first time in the history of Wichita politics a candidate for office has openly said he does not need the Negro vote to be elected to office. This declaration was made by Mr. J. L Bowdish, republican candidate for member of the school board in the Second ward. Mr. Bowdish says that if the colored voters of the Second ward wish to vote for him it is all right, but if not it is all right, as he can and will be elected in the Second ward if every colored vote is cast against him. Aside from feeling "independent of the colored vote" Mr. Bowdish, if elected, will advocate separate schools for colored and white children and will also advocate abolishing the city high school. His idea is to take the money now expended on the city High school and spend part of it in providing separate schools for the colored people and the rest in remodeling and improving the ward schools. While there are two or three colored men who advocated the nomination of Mr. Bowdish over Jas. L. Harper on March 8th at the primary yet we do not believe that ever these two or three will decide to vote for him. And now Kansas has a "lily white" republican. Our advice to the colored people of the Second ward is that now is as good a time as any other to show who you are.
Which is worse?
There is much flurry just now over the Reed Smoot case in Washington. Mr. Smoot is a U, S senator from the state of Utah and an effort is being made to expel him because he is a Mormon and the Mormons believe in plural wives. The charge may be grave enough, but history has recorded worse men than Reed Smoot in the U. S. senate. Men have rose on the floor of the senate and made a self confession of worse crimes than merely being a Mormon Mormons are at least religious, while there are men in the U. S. senate who have acknowledged to be brutes void of any trace of religion. If Reed Smoot is expelled so ought any man who has acknowledged to taking human life in cold blood.
MISSOURI "BOSS BUSTERS."
The movement in Missouri to rid that state of its infernal political machine seems to be futile. The "boss buster" movement seems to be getting busted, however all eyes will keep tab on the results.

W. M. PAUGH.
The Republicans of the Fourth ward have selected Mr. W. M. Paugh as their candidate for councilman at the election to be held April 5, 1904. Mr. Paugh is one of Wichita's very prominent business men and is fully qualified to look after the interest of the residents of the 4th ward and the city in general. If elected to the council, as he will be, he will make a worthy member of that body. The colored voters will find in Mr. Paugh a warm friend and one whom they can at all times approach. Mr. Paugh is the right man for the place and will be elected by a handsome majority.
DO NOT ALLOW A DAY OF YOUR LIFE PASS
Without Doing Some Good.
You should be careful of your thoughts as the mind acts once, so it is inclined to act again, if you think about things that are true and honest, just and pure. Your mind will soon form the same habit of thinking upon such things, but if you think about things that are light and foolish and idle and unreasonable your mind will form the same habit of shallow things.
Come all you Texah Rangers who ever you may be
Our captain informed us perhaps we thought him right
"Before we reach the station" says he, "we'll have to fight"
The rebels are coming, I heard them give a yell
I saw the glittering lances, it seemed to pass me by and-
A moment thought struck me my time had come to die
Come all you volunteer soldiers who ever wish to roam
"I'll tell you by my experience you'd better stay at home.
Perhaps you have a mother, a sister dear to you.
Perhaps you have a sweetheart to weep and mourn for you.
Meet me at Jim Olden's 615 N. Main.

BICYCLE STOLEN.
Last Saturday night about 8.30 Bernard Brooks rode to Dunn Bros. grocery on North Main st. He left his wheel standing on the outside as he usuall has done. He was not in the store more than 20 minutes when on returning he discovered that his wheel was gone. He waited a whi'r thinking it po sible that some boy rode it off for a joke, but as the bicycle or the rider never turned up it was given up as gone. It was one of the meanest and dirtiest tricks to be blayed on a child who had worked and strived to buy a wheel then to have it stolen almost under his eyes, but no good will ever come o the party that did the mean trick. It was a wheel with a black frame, the right pedal was off and the left cork on handle bar, some enamel off frame. Should anyone know of a wheel of that description and kindly bring the same to 17 North Wichita and they will be rewarded.
One hundred tons of cats' tails were recently sold in London in one lot. They are intended as ornamentation for ladies' wearing apparel. Each tail weighed an average of two ounces, and this means that about 1,792,000 cats were slaughtered to complete the consignment.

In the Shadow Lands
So much of the happiness and success of like depends upon the seeing capacity that it is both a wonder and a pity that more attention is not paid by parents in the home and by instructors in the schools to the perfecting of this gift.
The trouble is that the great majority of people regard the capacity of the eyes as something fixed at birth, and not to be interfered with. If they would think a little they would recognize that it is, after all, largely a matter of exercise and practice. They know that the power of the muscles is capable of almost indefinite training, but they fail to apply the principle to the eyes. All forms of exercise are called upon to increase and strengthen the muscular system of growing children, and the wisdom of this, always granting reasonable moderation, is never questioned, but the child with the weak, undeveloped visual faculty, with the untrained color sense, with the carrying capacity of the sight limited to a few feet, is called stupid, and his best hope is that he may be fitted with glasses before he is rallied and scolded into real stupidity.
The sight can be educated and exercised just as truly as the hearing, the sense of touch, or even the leg and arm muscles can; and the work, which can be easily converted into play, should be begun very early in life. Much so-called color-blind

Lucinda's life's a peaceful one, apart from sentiment:
No prattling voices come to mar her quiet and content;
No tiny feet romp up and down, no eager dimpled hands;
Are clutching at her fingers where she sits in shadow lands.
In shadow lands she sits alone, there in her quiet room—
Nay, not alone for faces come before her in the gloom.
And on her hand she feels a palm, she hears a whisper low—
A visitor comes back again from out the long ago.
She stands beside the garden gate where blushing roses cling.
She listens to the murmur of the brook's soft caroling:
<ut sweeter than all other sounds a rapt voice whispers low—
A visitor come back again from out the long ago.

the Sight
ness is not a radical defect of vision at all, but a lack of training in attention and recognition, and could have been avoided by any form of simple half-play, half-lesson, with colored balls or skeins of silk in early childhood. Matching colors is an excellent game lesson. It can be carried on with silks, wools, paper, or any other material in which it is possible to get many shades with very small gradations of color among them. Certain of the educational supply houses furnished colored papers for this very purpose. An element of competition can be introduced, and the power of the vision can be trained at the same time, with that esthetic sense which is its greatest reward.
Rapidity of vision can be enormously developed. Most persons know the story of the conjuror whose father made him while a small boy play the game of naming the objects in some shop window passed at a quick walk. If one will try this he will be astounded at the way the number of objects seen in the glimpse will grow with practice.
As for other forms of exercise, that of the eye should be taken only under proper conditions. A tired, worn-out eye, should not be forced to new tasks any more than a tired worn-out body. This is why the process can not be started too soon, that the eye may be insensibly trained to good habits of perception.—Youth's Companion.

His voice is like the murmur of the summer breeze that's sweet
With perfume of the roses there in riot at feet;
He's bending over the garden gate, his face is all aglow—
Until she gently lifts her head and coyly whispers "No."
The firelight is gleaming there along the polished floor—
Lucinia's dreaming of those days, mistaken days, her heart is quietness and ease, peace reigns here all content.
A spinster's heaven where she dreams of life's old sentiment.
A step falls soft upon the porch, a tap falls on her ears;
Both come to her as ecstates come from
out the wanished years.
Then swift away the shadows glide, the
room is all aglow—
A visitor has come again from out the

Wars generally may be horrible, but in the matter of casualties, they do not begin to compare with those daily occurring upon the railway systems, both trolley and steam, in the United States.
European exports to Mexico increased seven times as much as American exports during 1903, which shows that an imaginary line may be made harder to cross than thousands of miles of ocean.

Two chapters in a book that has just been published by General Weyler are said to be headed, respectively: "My project for landing in United States territory" and "Reasons why I was obliged to abandon the project." He might readily condense the information into the line, "For the same reasons that compelled me to abandon the United States."
Japanese delties are as kindly and gentle as the people themselves. Their story of the creation is quaint. Two gods (whose very lengthy names may be shortened to Izanagi and Izanami), standing upon the bridge of heaven, cast grains of ice abroad to dispel the darkness. They then pushed a spear down into the green plain of the sea and stirred it around. This spear became the axis of the earth, started it revolving and thus brought about the dry land.
To Repeat
The Jubilee and FULL DRESS Function Will Be Given on Tuesday, March 29th TO BE GRANDER THAN EVER Owing to the heavy, constant rain last Wednesday night the night on which the big Jubilee Full Dress Function was to take place, the Eureka Club has decided to give it again on Tuesday night, March 29th. 1904. Those who were on program for the former date (16) will kindly take notice herefrom and be in readiness for Tuesday the 29th of the present month.
The Searchlight has established a branch office for news matter at Olden's drug store 615 N. Main. Any one having news items for the Searchlight may leave them there and we will get them.
DOING NICELY
The colored drug store which was opened by Mr. James Olden at 615 N. Main st. on March 7th is doing a very good business. In an interview with Mr. Olden Wednesday he said: "I am very much pleased with the success with which my store is meeting among my people, they seem to appreciate my efforts. My purpose is to give them an up-to-date store Mrs. Pauline Johnson, who passp such a splendid examination here before the State Board of Pharmacists, will take charge of my pre cription cases on April 1st. I have about $200 worth of stock yet to be placed and I am in receipt of a letter that those goods will be here in time to be on my shelves by April 1 We are ready to serve our people in any line of goods generally carried by drug stores."
The Searchlight appreciates with deep sincerity the words of commendation and encouragement which has been so lavishly bestowed upon it by prominent colored men of our city. We appreciate their friendship and in the future, as in the past, we will try to convince them of our gratitude. It is certainly pleasing to us to be able new to look back over five years of work among the good people of Wichita and to find on our list of friends so many substantial men and women and, may we be permitted to say that our friends are not confined to our own race, but hundreds of the white people of Wichita have proven in no mistaken tone their friendship to the Searchlight, and they too are still our friends, and to them we owe a debt of gratitude. How we have succeeded is the secret of our success, but we have succeeded, let the records say. We would not attempt to say that all our days have been sunshine, our path has not at all times been strewn with sweet soaked roses, but we have met each day as God gave it and we have "worked and murmured not" and we are still working. Our greatest ambition is not self but that in all we may do there may be some act or deed which may benefit humanity. So in our future work we solicit the aid, the friendship, the encouragement and support of all who may feel inclined, promising them our most hearty gratitude.
We call attention of the voters of the 2nd ward to the candidacy of Chas. H. Luling as coun ilman. During the time which Mr. Luling has served as a member of the city council he has at all times done everything in his power in the interest of his ward and is now deserving to be retained.

A $10.00 REWARD
On Nov. 27, 1903, while going home to dinner Mr. J. W. Thompson discovered a broken rail on the Santa Fe track where the Santa Fe crosses 13th st. Realizing the probable danger it might cause the road Mr. Thompson hurriedly went down to the Santa Fe offices and notified the road officials. A crew of men were immediately sent to the point with Mr. Thompson and the broken rail taken out and a good rail placed in its place. No further attention was paid to the matter by him, but on March 12, 1904, he was rewarded by receiving $10 from the Santa Fe in recognition of his act. Mr. Thompson is one of Wichita's wide-awake young colored men and is one of the trusted employees of the Wichita Street By Go.

POULTRY
White Wyandottes are unquestionably the most popular breed of fowls in existence to-day, with Barrel Plymouth Rocks a close second. I have no disposition to question the value of the Barrel Plymouth Rocks either as show birds or as utility stock. Through all the many years they have been before the poultry buying public they have been strong favorites. They displaced the Light Brahmas and other breeds as practical utility and market birds. Being of better size and shape, also good producers of eggs, they more nearly met the popular demand for a fowl having these qualities than any other breed that had come before. They consequently reaped a harvest unequaled by any other breed up to the time of the introduction of the White Wyandottes. I only compare these two breeds because they are indisputably the two most popular breeds in existence today. Other breeds and varieties have a good deal of merit and some have considerable popularity. None, however, at all compare with these two in the estimation of practical poultry producers and fanciers. It is a strong point with both that they so well suit the market poulterer and the fancier and showman. The White Wyandottes undoubtedly lead at the present time. They have had an uphill fight, but the practical qualities they possess in such large measure have carried them to the front, and the chances are decidedly good for their retaining that lead for some years to come. No other breed is in sight as a competitor. Probably there is not a well known breeder of White Wyandottes in this country who is able to fill all the orders for eggs and stock of this variety. In searching for the source of this popularity one has not far to travel. In the first place their size is right. They are not too large to be thrifty. Oversize in poultry means stagnation, poor breeding, small egg production and disease and loss in hot seasons and climates. Great size also means slow maturity and big feed bills. The White Wyandottes grow quickly and mature on less food than any other breed of anything like equal value as market poultry. Their shape, too, is right for practical purposes. Full and deep in breast, they lay on an extra thickness of white meat and when carved the slices show a prominent point in their worth. This is so from the egg to death from old age. A thin, slim-breasted White Wyandottes is unknown if the breed is pure. They are hardy and easily withstand the cold of the severest climates and seasons. They also do well in all temperate and hot climates. Unlike the large and single combed varieties, they never suffer in egg production from frosted combs and wattles. They have a small close and neatly fitted rose comb, which defies frost and cold. The cockerels when dressed and marketed as broilers and roasters, present a much near appearance when sold with heads on than those of breeds with big, spreading or single combs which invariably draw the attention of the customer to the waste and resultant shrinkage in food value. The color of the legs and skin is the rich yellow so much desired. The skin is free from dark pin feathers. Many of the disasters in the poultry business have come through failure to study supply and demand. Would-be poultrymen, starting on an unknown path, instead of consulting the demand where the stock is to be sold will, from some article, or from seeing birds in a show room, choose what strikes the fancy and go ahead—or rather behind, for it doesn't take long to get started in the wrong direction in this business. Once started it is frightfully easy to continue in the same way and fearfully hard to turn about.
Colored Rouen Ducks.
Colored Rouen ducks are becoming every year more popular in this country. They are supposed to have had their origin in the city of Rouen in Normandy. At least they must have been raised largely there before they were exported to this country. The Rouen duck is a fine market bird, but does not mature so early as do the Pekins and the Aylesburys. It is hardy and prolific and has a quiet disposition. The eggs, however, are not as large as are those of the Pekin duck, and lack uniformity of color. It is believed to be closely related to the Mallard duck, and this belief is strengthened by its plumage. The standard weight of the drake is nine pounds and of the mature duck eight pounds.
Swine Feed Points.
Spring litters can be handled to advantage, as they can have the run of grass and clover lots. In addition to the pasturage, a little soft food should be fed, and the corn ration should be very small. Bran and middlings, and oil meal in small quantities, may enter into the ration. Wood ashes and charcoal are profitable adjuncts to the feeding ration. Charcoal may be easily obtained from charred corn cobs. The excessive feeding of corn should be avoided, as it is certain that a good frame cannot be built up on such a one sided ration.
If people knew what the future had in store for them the chief charm of existence would be lost.

When you get into a howling madness against any person, place, thing or conditions, write all the bad things you can think and send it to me—no other place.
In my Arcade Index library of manuscripts and printed letters I have a place for hot shot, or shot too hot to fire, except for some Fourth of July day, and then in the air.
While your letter of adjectives and advents is on the way to me you will be thinking out an original plan which will be ten times better than firing your vehemence toward a mark. If you should fire and hit the mark it might rebound to your disadvantage and if you should not hit the mark it might give you rheumatism of the memory.
This morning I thought that I would write a certain man a final letter. The man is about as nice every other time I see him as a mad bull.
He treats you according to conditions over which you have no control but he is not the only person in the world who has this element of cyclopEDIA human nature.
In place of writing him that final letter I pulled in my excitement and rested my head.
And what came to me! Just the best idea that I have ever had for that changeable acquaintance.
It is the missing link in our negotiations and will make us both good natured as it lifts our muddled subjects out of the swamp on the mountain side.
Had I written him the final letter it would have been a polite and dignified affair, but with some sarcasm between the lines.
Would you rather get a directly sarcastic letter than one with cultured sarcasm? It seems to me that I would but rather than get either kind I prefer a useful and original idea that is a winner.
How We Influence Others.
A man with some heavy bundles left his home to take the nearest street car line.
As he passed the house of a neighbor the latter came out to join him and offered to carry one of the bundles if he would walk down to the second car line and catch an express train. The first man decided to do so and then a third man came out of his house as the two men passed.
The third man intended to take the first car line but decided to walk down to the fast train service after the first man had reported his conversion to taking a walk.
Then one man said that he supposed it was all right to cheat the street cars that way. The first car line only took them to a junction where they would have taken the fast train which they walked to.
Another of the men said that it was all right to cheat the kind of car service the first line was giving. Now that is a very common remark and probably all of us have made such speeches.

For a rest time review of the daily sources of better methods. The accuracy library is for co-operation in information on the enemies of easy errors and the friends of forethought, to reduce mutually expensive mistakes of mechanical, commercial and professional people.
The purpose of my library of manuscripts and short printed articles.
He is one of a few dozen men in the world in his line of work and altitude of thought and executive skill, so I must respect what he says and he says that from what I have told and shown him my work seems purposeless.
While others tell me just the opposite I am going to stop and think and write on the purpose of my 1796-1872-1952 efforts. Eighty years are none too few to advertise the daily sources of greater individual accuracy and my library contains personally useful to you information in manuscript for which goes back to 1796.
In order to do what I want to do I am growing a cyclopedia on such personal subjects as forethought, accuracy, useful originality, skill, earnestness and methods.
This cyclopedia is never to be published but is held in written and press proof form and anyone can secure a copy of any paragraph on any subject at any time.
Additions are made daily and the whole world is to be searched for personal experiences useful to the individual anywhere. The benefit of the individual is the good or purpose of the persistent research. What would you like to know this year which you would be willing others might know? You can imagine an inventor hunting through every country in the world for kinds of wood to use in his experiments and you can think of me hunting in every country for kinds of wisdom for you to use in your every day life. Very often I meet people who do not know some little piece of wisdom they needed to know and which less intelligent people have known for years.
Some day I hope to have you write me that you are not your best until you read the latest information which I have secured for you.
The library is not limited to you entirely but contains ideas from attorneys for your attorney, from physicians and dentists for your physician and your dentist, also from ministers for your minister.
It is not my intention to become a walking cyclopedia nor a librarian but I might do worse.
The newspapers of America seem interested in my library as an Accuracy Press Bureau and I would like to have you read in your local newspaper something from me which would help you pay for your paper two years in advance.
