I noticed in the RKGIsTRE of the 4th inst. a
reply made by observer to the article in the
RRGIsTHR of Feb DC in regard to the negro
question of lola. think observer" was right
with one or two exceptions. In the first place
he says The negroes of lola don't seem to want
to work" We think that he is judging from
the lOsfing ON the corners. We must remember
that while there is q great deal ofloating among
our dusky brothers OF lola, yot there are good
many negroes in lola and they are not all loaf
ing. We must not judge the industrious ne
grOes Of lola (even though they be few, by the
resentatiyes we see on "LoafeTs Corner" We
ought rather to favor two loafers though unde-
serving than impose upon on deserving. In
the next place he says the street on the west
side Is so crowded at times that ii is almost i'm
possible to get along on the Sidewalk: Now i
that Is the case il ought not TO be so, and the
negroes Of lola ought TO be ashamed of them
selves. But at this day and age of the world
we should L Ut square their lines by any rule that
we would net be willing TO use on our own peO-
pie. Now, for instance less than a week ago /
was in lola snd 1 was permitted to see Just
about such mCb as observer was speaking
Of, only the crowd saw had no negroes in it
The walk was almost blockaded and in the
center Of the crowd seemed to be the center of
attraction in the way Of comic speaker of some
saw two or three ladies at different times make
their way through the crowd, but they seemed
to rally all the grit they had before making the
attempt i also saw q man in the crowd with q
metal star on his breast Whether he was an
officer of lola or just visiting brother cannot
say Ifsuch q thing had happened in Kansas
City, the man with the star would have said
Move on" Now the question is: Who sets the
example, the negro or the white man?

ing. The order maintains the status
quo until the case comes up in June
to be tried on its merits. In the light
Of the present situation the thing for
everybody to work and pray for is the
speedy trial and decision Of the case.
The Leaguers who have been kept
poor by the long fight, the owners OF
the land who have suffered loss and
vexstion by the unrighteous litigation,
every citizen who has seen the growth
of the county retarded by the uncer-
tainty of titles, must be deeply inter-
eetea in an immediate settlement OF
the question. When the case comes
up in June for trial on its merits we
hope the decision, whichever way it
goes, will be considered final.

N STATU QUO

Another Chapter in the League Litigation
A restraining order was yesterday
granted by Judge Riner in the case of
fhe settlers by the United States VS.
the NJ. X. d I. Railroad company,
which was recently decided by the
limited States supreme court in favor
of the government, on appeal from
the limited States circuit court of Kan
sas that sustained demurrer OF the
NJ. h. d T. railroad to the complaint
of the United States OH behalf OF home
seekers and presumption settlers on
the odd section land, within the ten
mile limit, and ON the odd and even
sections within the tweny-mlle limit
of the L. L. Il q. railroad land grant,
assigned to the NJ. Il. Il L. railroad
company.
The order restraints the Missouri,

any of its grantees, attorneys, coun-
sellers, agents, employees, servants or
any other person or persons whomsO-
ever or what soever. from interfering
with. in any manner whatsoever, the

LET HAVEAPAIR.


Martin Mohler, secretary of the
State Board of Agriculture, has pre-
pared a letter addressed to the far
mers of the State urging the organiza-
ton of agricultural societies in every
county. The immediate necessity for
the organization of these fairs is to
prepare for the Worlds Fair exhibit.
The plan outlined by the Board of
Agriculture provides that each cOun-
ty fair shall offer such premiums for
agricultural displays as will induce
farmers to set apart spot of ground
especially adapted for some crop and
improve it by means of fertilizers.
The farmers will compete at the coun-
ty societies and the best specimens
will be forwarded to the State fair in
Topeka from which products will be
selected for the Kansas Worlds Fair
agricultural display. In urging these
organizations the secretary of the
Board of Agriculture says:
Again, as further inducement to
organize agricultural societies, 1 add
that by the organization of such so
cieties counties become connected with
the State Board OF Agriculture, being
entitled under certain conditions to a
delegate to the annual meeting of the
Board with expenses paid; the del
egate for the time being is an ex-of-
flcio member of the Board and is en-
titled to all the rights and privileges
of members of tine Board proper. And
besides in case a fair is held by the
society the law authorizes the pay
ment of 500 from the county treasury
to assist the society in paying pre-
miums. While in other years there
may be a question as to whether q
fair ought or ought not to be held, ev-
cry county should hold fair this year
and thus contribute its mite to the
success of the Kansas exhibit at the
Worlds Fair.
The REGISTER hopes that the sug-
gestions of Secretary MOhler will be
promptly acted upon in Allen county.
We ''feel it in our bones" thar We are
going to have the biggest crops this
year we ever had, and We cannot af-
ford to fail of making the very most
possible out of them. The way to do
this is to use them to advertise with.
And the way to do this is to display
samples of them at the Worlds Fair.
We trust the Horticultural Society
will consider this matter at its next
meeting and start the ball rolling.
