Lands AND "JIM, COTNER.
Young Congressman May Visit His
Friend I'm Indian Territory.

Fred Lands, representative in Congress
from the Eleventh district, was in the city
yesterday in conference with some of his
political friends. Lands has a good word
to say for G. A II. Shideler, of Marion,
who is a candidate for the Republican
nomination for Governor, and he said that
Shideler will have a united and enthusiastic
district behind him.
Representative Lands is contemplating
business trip to New Mexico within the
next few weeks, and If he makes Ii he ex-
poets TO stop off at Muskogee, /. T., to see
"Jim" Cotner. Lands and Cotner were
law partners in Logansport for several
years and were the warmest personal
friends. Politically they clashed. as Cotner
was a Democrat. Both entered politics as
soon as they began practicing lawn fact,
ii has been said that they practiced politics,
with law as a side issue-but Cotner was
the first to seek and obtain Office. He was
twice member of the State Legislature
before Lands became a congressional cam
didate. Cotner decided, however, that the
West offered the best opportunities for
young man, and accordingly he moved to
Muskogee little over a year ago.

LIGHTING THE MONUMENT

Electric Power Substituted for Gas

Major G. ". Menzies, of Mount Vernon,
who was in the city yesterday to attend
meeting of the board of regents of the SOL
evening at the English that the monument
will be lighted and the fountains in opera
ton again within a few weeks.
I'VE have been unable to keep the lights
and fountains going" he said, because
We have not had the power to run them.
We were depending on gas for fuel and we
couldn't get the gas. Now, however, cleo
trio power is being substituted, and we ex-
pect that the lights will be turned on
April for test, and that a week later
they will be in shape to run all the time
at is too bad" continued the major re-
fectively, as he looked out at the monu-
ment that Indianapolis has had to take
to soft coal as fuel. The smoke and SCOT
has blackened the monument so as to rob
it of much of its beauty, but suppose that
the discoloring would have come inevitably
with the passing of time"
Major Menzies is regarded as one of the
Democratic stalwarts of the State and his
name Is frequently mentioned in connec-
ton with the Democratic nomination for
Governor next year, but ne said last night
that he had not the slightest intention of
seeking the preferment. While he did not
say so. his manner indicated that he re-
CARDS the nomination as an empty honor
that would end when the votes are counted
in November, 1904. and that he did not look
with favor on the idea of leading a forlorn
hope.
81 don't hear any talk about it," he said
when questioned as to who would seek the
nomination or would be likely to receive it,
1.-THE people are not thinking of state pol
itics at this early day, and until the people
begin to think and talk about the situation

WHAT THE NEGRO WANTS
PROF. JOHN J. sMALLwOOD's IDEA
OF THE RACE PROBLEM.
Social Equality Is Not Demanded, He
says-Progress Of Negroes I'm
the south.

Prof John ]. Smallwood, founder and
president of the school for negroes known
rs the Temperance. Industrial and Col
legiate Institute. at Claremont, Surrey
county. Virginia, arrived in the city yes
ferday and is the guest of George l.. Knox.
Arrangements are being made to have him
deliver an address while he is in Indian
apolis. as he is regarded as one of the best
educated and one of the best speakers of
his race in America.
Mr.. Smallwood was born slave in Vir-
ginia during the war. He is self-educated,
having worked his way through college. A
few years ago he did a great deal of po-
liticai speaking, and in the campaign of
1883 made number of speeches in Indiana,
but he was persuaded to leave politics and
devote his time to educational work among
his own people. The institution which he
was instrumental in establishing in Clare
mont Is Independent, nonsectarian and nom
political In discussing the future of the
negro In the South. Mr.. Smallwood said
last night:
well. we shall stay at the South, shall
continue TO establish our institutions of
earring: we shall buy land and build good,
Wrong. normal industrial homes. We shall
continue to educate our own lawyers our
own doctors, our own ministers with Gods
blessed truth in their hearts We are 90
ing on TO raise up and to educate our own
college presidents, our own farmers. black
smiths. carpenters and our own classical
and scientific leaders. We shall not notice
the false. insulting and un-American cry
Of the so-called social equality There can
never be any social equality The INTEL
ligent negroes North, South, East and West
have never In the past and do not now ask
for social equality All that the negro in
this country asks for is a fair. honest, prac-
teal chance in this American life under
this American government
THE negroes in the South are fast i'm
proving their opportunities. They are buy
ing land They are engaged in mercantile
business and in nearly every craft in that
section or this country. All we ask of the
politicians Is TO let us alone They have
done the negro all OF this evil in the years
gone b..
IF we can get rid of the Southern poli-
ticians. like Mr.. Tillman and his school
and IL re can close the liquor saloons two
OF the worlds bitterest enemies. then the
race problem at the South is solved
Liquor and politicians are absolutely de-
eradlrg enemies OF the negroes in the
South. The ignorant politician. TiIlman-
Ike. has ruined our section in the trading
world Our institution at Claremont is
solving the race problem In a practical
way.
