CHAPTER Xxx.
MAKING ProQress.

You really don't mean it," said Luz
ella severely, and it's very wrong to
say what you don't mean"
In society,"" / asked blandly. I'm
afraid you're a hereto, Miss Knapp"
But we're not in society,-not just
now, that is to say. We're just friends
talking together, and you're not to say
what you don't mean just for the sake
of pleasing my vanity"
We'll, if we're just friends talking

in her interest.
Before 1 could reply, Mrs. Knapp's
voice was in my ear, and Mrs. Knapp's
figure was in the archway of the al

"Oh, you are here" she said. q
thought I heard your voices. Luella,
your father wants to see you a min

though l wished that she had delayed
her appearance, and looked regretfully
after Luella.

"Oh, it was nothing" I answered
lightly. ANY one would have done
the same
"Perhaps-but none the less we are
all very grateful. If l had only sus-
pected that anything of the kind could
have happened. 1 should never have al

not suspected.

I'm afraid so. after all the warning
you have had" said Mrs. Knapp.
But as it turned out, no harm was
done" I said cheerfully.
Il suppose So" said Mrs. Knapp alb
sently. Then she spoke with sudden
attention DO you think your enc
mics followed you there?"

Of the Wolf figure in the grimy pass

My snake-eyed friend made himself
a little familiar. I'm afraid" I ad-

Mrs. Knapp with feeling. You must

Germ.

Now tell me how 1t all happened. just
as you saw it. I'm afraid Luella was
a little too hysterical to give true &C
count of it."
l gave her the story Of the scene in
the passage, with a few judicious
examinations. l thought it hardly
worth while to mention Doddridgt

items that were more precious to me
than to anybody else.
When I had done Mrs. Knapp sighed

GAINSBOROUGH AGAIN.

The perennial favorite, the dashing
Gainsborough hat to which the fash
ionable world gives its tickle allegi-
ence, has again made its appearance.
This time the velvet covered picture
hat has been chosen for a large num-
Der of handsome feather trimmed
models.

Of the hat so beautifully pictured by
the great Gainsborough, the style
seems to be particularly we'll adapted

THE NEN YORK AGE
On The Political Situation

The political fortunes of the
AfIo-American people are at zero
They began to run down in 1876,
after the Republican Party, by a
treacherous makeshift to save the
Presidency, gave that office to
Rutherford B. Hayes, a spineless
Ohio politician, and turned over
to the bloodthirsty and red-hand-
ed Democracy of the Southern
States the State governments of
South Carolina, Florida and Lou
isiana, although the Democrats had
not carried those States in the pop
ular voting, any more than they
had elected their electors, who
were counted for Hayes. Such
success as the Democrats had had
in the South, i'll the election Of
1876, was got by murder and ter
rorization, and was therefore lille
gal and inadmissible, because rev
olutionary in character and pur
pose. When the crime was once
committed and condoned by the
action of the Electoral Commits
sion, and accepted by the people
Of the country, the whole body Of
Reconstruction Laws, so labori-
ously framed by the Congress un-
der the guidance Of the wise men
who hoped to make effective in
every respect the War Amend
ments to the Federal Constitution,
was undone and made abortive for
future effectiveness, and the Afro
American electors Of the Southern
States were left naked and helpless
in the hands Of their late slave
masters. The Republican Party

The Way of the Transgressor is Hard

The Way of the TransgressOr is Hard
Within the last week the public
has been made acquainted with the
inner doings of the Clore Street
400, wherein a prominent resident
of that section has seen fit to place
himself in the limelight by stand
ing trial, and being found guilty of
a misdemeanor which is for that
district an every day happening.
We believe that man who is wise,
and lives with the environment of
that district is simply battling
against the winds when he attempts
to 60 up against the strong arm of
the law. And if he persists in
openly violating the law he is sim
ply taking his chances, both as to
penalties and to the regard of the
community. |, he so wills it to
infiict upon himself the stamp of
undesirable citizenship, he has
no one to blame but himself. Ev-
cry man has his friends, but his ac-
tons and course may become such
that he can ALLEVIATE them be they

appearance SO often that we have
lost track of them.
Then Charley Lytle, the king
bee OF the young push, whose pop
ularlty has never waned, and from
what we can learn is even now on
the upward trend, and whom we
have many times predicted would
make his mark, could not be left
out of this retrospection.
Not a diamond in the rough, but
clean cut,-a bright particular star
In the trmament,-business man
politician we understand now)
but one of Topeka's greatest hust-
lers, and probably it's greatest en-
tertainers,-the friend of the low
liest as we'll as the highest, who,
under adverse circumstances, has
risen to a high rank in the capital
of the Sunfower State, whom we
class as one OF the foremost of our
friends.
Then there comes alphabetically
Taylor, J. Ii. b., if you please,
who we believe has never been out
of Kansas except when once in a
political time he got hold of a
pass and went to Oklahoma for
three days.
He, like Mohammed, would at
all times have tha mountains come
to him; but he is a character in
the environs of this particular
spot. If there is nything doing,
he is always on the spot doing
what he can to help out, and not
infrequently is he on the inside.
He was always a mixer, and the
boys lways were with him, and
while we have no tabs on him for
the last year and eight months, he
was always our friend, and we
have labored together to help our
selves as we'll as others. John
seems a brother to us, and we
would like to see him get nerve
enough to take a trip out of the
State.
Now we have no excuse for
writing the above other than to
write it; and while thinking of the
pleasure of meeting old friends in
the trip we are expecting to make
to Kansas in August to attend the
National Negro Business Mems
League we penned this reuospec-
ton.

RETROSPECTIVE

attention is first, of course, di.
rected to dear old Kansas where
we were reared, and in our hum
BILE way did what we could to push
everything that we thought would
lend to the betterment of our peo-
pie.
Professor Vernon, at present
Registrar of the U. S. Treasury,
often said to us, "Bass; instead of
helping the other fellow so much
you should lookout for yourself
occasionally;' but after all we
could always whoop it up for the
other fellow with so much better
grace than for ourselves, and we
have never regretted what we did
for the other fellow if it helped
him.
Then as now. leaders were in
abundance. Every fellow thought
he was it, and every move on the
checkerboard, political or other
wise, was regarded with a certain
amount of suspicion. intrigue and
jackpots galore,-it was great mil
ling back in Kansas.
There was Nick Chiles, made
famous by his indomitable push
and going to the front, who could
pose on four sides of any one
question, and come out unscathed,
who has stood the grill in many
battles, and though he came out of
many bleeding and bruised, he
always had a smile.
We never knew him to weaken
in his loyalty to the race unless it
was in the campaign of 1906, and
as to that we cannot say, because
we were not on the ground. But
he is great character, who has
simply forced himself into fame
and fortune.
There is James H. Guy, a good
lawyer, and "scrapper" from
way back. You could always get
a war of words out of Jim Guy,
without the usual provocation.
We also know him to be loyal to
his race, and on many occasions
have opportunity to test his 10y
atty.
In the language of General
Grant, "If he thought he was right
he would fight it out on those lines
if it took all summer" He was,
then as now, one of the substan-
tial citizens of the capital city of
Kansas, whom we classed as our
friend.
Then, with John M. Wright,
whom we suppose is until yet the
Deputy County Treasurer, and
National President of the Knights
and Ladies of the Orient, who, re-
gardless of anything that may be
said to the contrary, was always
and at all times pure when it was
an issue of import to the race. In
our many efforts to 40 something
for the betterment of the condi-
tions political and otherwise for
the race we always had his un-
stinted support. Until this day
we carry letter from him which
we prize very highly; the senti-
ments expressed as to our efforts
in his now, formerly our, BALI
wick.
Let's see, then, there was one.
Nat Sawyers,-the Eoys all called
him "Knat", "a literary genius
who was a ready debate on any
question. At no time was it a
task to get an argument out of
him We have in mind several
tilts with him, when with main
force VIC have in stentorian tones
endeavored to overwhelm him,
but he would have none of that.
He was one of the best all around
fellows that we have ever known,
and at any time he could be of as
sistance to his fellowmen there
was no hesitancy on his part if he.

lenvenomed wrath Of their enemies
| What has been the result? The
ISouth has been left free to enact q
body Of prescribing laws which is
IN many respects as odious and op-
presslve as the slave code. The
political and civil rights guaran-
teed to them by the Fourteenth
and Fifteenth Amendments have
been denied and abridged by State
laws; involuntary servitude has
been legalized in spite of the pro-
hibitions of the Thirteenth Amend
ment; the law of contract has been
nullified in the restrictions incorpo-
rated in the body Of separation
laws; the criminal law has been
suspended and lynch law substi-
tuted; in short, condition has
been brought about which violates
every guaranty of the three War
Amendments without producing
one remedial measure by the Con.
gress, and with small action on
the part of the President to pre-
vent 1.-THE enforcement of the
peonage laws under the Roosevelt
Administration being the most
effective, the Ku-KluX prosecu-
tons under President Grant having
been made absurd and farcical be-
cause the Williams convicted by the
courts were pardoned by the Pres
ident, instead of being hung by
the marshal.
This is the situation. The Re
publican Party is responsible for it,
by the findings of the Electoral
Commission and the acquiesCence
of the masses Of the party, and be-
cause the party in the Congress
has done nothing to remedy the
original wrong or to check the
hundred and one wrongs which
aayt grown out of it, and because
the Federal Courts have evaded a
square toed decision on any of the
laws enacted by the several South
ern States bearing upon inyolun-
tary servitude, the suffrage and the
civil rights of the Afro-American
people, while making haste to re
peal the Sumner Civil Rights Bill
as far as it applies to the States, as
well as the conspiracy laws under
which the KuKlux Slaughter
House cases were brought.
The question of human rights
was dropped from the policy OF
the Republican Party when Ruth
erford B. Hayes was declared Pres
ident, and in its National capacity
it has done nothing since but
dodge the issue whenever it has
come up for consideration. But
during all the years of lodging,
evading and lying by the Republi-
can Party, the Afro-American peo-
pie have stuck to the party, voting
fol its candidates and policies with
the blind faith of dog in his bru-
tai and ungrateful master, living
upon 'the substance of things
hoped for and getting deeper and
deeper in the mire of citizenship
homage at every stage of the game,
The writer has protested and
bolted for thirty years, but few
4 fro Americans have sympathized
with his policy. If they had, and
had followed his advice, they
would not now have their political
and civil fortunes so low that
cur will not sniff at them.
