Baltimore. March At Joint
meeting last Monday at the Third
Baptist Church, Fifth and r streets
northwest, between the Baptist Min
iSterial Union of Baltimore and
Washington, the divines in their sew
eral speeches showed their hostile
feeling toward President Roosevelt
and Secretary Taft Maryland's dis
franchising scheme was denounced
in unmeasured terms. Every men
ton of Senator Foraker's name was
cheered to the echo The speakers
included Revs. w H. Brooks. Geo

Wis, S. L. Corrothers, James H. Lee,
OF this city; @. r. Weller, S. L.
Crockett, F. R.Williams, Jones Wat

colored voters in the North and West
would voice their disapproval at the
polls
Rev. P. {. Mead, of Baltimore,
and Rev. l. Tolliver, of Washing

A dinner, served by the ladies of the

The Hon. w. T. Vernon, Register
OF the United States Treasury, has
just returned to the city, after an
absence of several days in aKnsas,
where he was in attendance at the
meeting of the Republican StateCon-
ventiOnn.
The Bee is especially gratifed to
observe that MIR. Vernon was elect
ed one of the Alternates at Large
to Chicago. His associate alternates
are gentlemen of high standing in
the social and political life of the
State - one being a State Senator,
another the Chairman of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee, and
the third a wealthy business man.
Wyandotte county. which is the
largest county in the State, sent a
delegation to the State Convention
instructed to vote for the Register
for Alternate at Large. This dele
CATION consisted of three colored and
twenty-five white men, and when the
Registers name was proposed it was
received with cheers from all parts
OF the great Auditorium and he was
elected by acclamation.

THE OHIO PLATFORM.
1t is not surprising to read plat
forms of Republican conventions, es-
pecially in presidential years. How
easy it IS for Republican Presidents
TO ignore the declarations and plat
forms of their party. Let US look
at this platform and read it care
fully. 1t declares a reduction of the
Southern representation. The plat
form of 1000 declared the same thing
IN the National Convention that met
at Philadelphia, Pa. The platform
of 1906 declared at Chicago almost
the same thing. 1t will be remem-
bered that the National Suffrage
League that convened Yn Chicago
H., at the time the National Repub-
lICon Convention met there, and
Senator Lodge, a member or chair
man OF the resolution committee, re-
luctantly inserted a plank in the
platform to appease the Republican
voters, and at no time after the cleo
ton OF both presidents, Mckinley
and Roosevelt, did either attempt to
enforce the declarations of their par
/ ty. So that the Ohio platform will
amount to no more.
What can Ohio declare, if that
State were ever so willing and anx-
louS to carry out the dictations in the
recent platform adopted in the Re
publican convention? 1t means moth
ing; it IS a bait to soothe the col
orcd voters of the State and country.
The Republican party has had ev-
cry opportunity TO protect the col
Ored American from Democratic in
vasion. Why wait till every colored
voter in the South is disfranchised g.?
Why didn't President Roosevelt en-
force the Constitution?
Mr.. Taft has already said in a
speech at Tuskegee that the colored
man must wait In a recent speech
by the same gentleman, delivered at
Kansas City, Mo, did not Mr.. Taft
Justify the South or compliment the
Southern Democrats for disfranchis-
ing colored Americans without blood
shed?
The Ohio platform means nothing,
and the colorcd voters should not be
fooled by such rot.
If the Republicans of the country
are sincere in their declarations Of
love and their advocacy of fair play
for colored Americans, let the good
work begin in the White House.
Why wait until the next election !?
1t is not necessary to wait until
after the election next fall, but act
now, and then the colored voter will
have some faith in what is being
said in Republican conventions.

Church for next Wednesday even
ing, deplore the circulation of a ru-
NOR to the effect that the attendance
of certain prominent gentlemen of
national fame is construed in some
quarters as having especial political
significance. The invitations extend
ed have been of a very general char
acter, without regard to personal,
factional or political differences. All
who come are expected to appear as
a mark of respect to the usefulness
and uplifting labors of DR.. Booker
T. Washington, not to advance the
interests Of this or that candidate
or to affect any political issue. Dr.
Washington's address will not deal
with politics, nor will any demon
stration of a political nature be toler-
ated. Mr.. Lassiter desires it under
stood that any statement by individ-
suals. to the effect that the meeting
is to be other than educational and
an instructive review of the condi-
ton Of the race along economic and
practical lines, is false and inten-
tiOnallv misleading.

there. but that night remembered
that Mrs. Harrison mentioned that her
husband disappeared when about TO
start for Garden City on business.
Identity Established.
1t seemed incomprehensible to me
that i could be. Harrison. for 1 could
not see how any man with a wife and
family could forget them. But the
next day I asked this man if the Gar
den City editor he had referred to was
named Harrison. and from that my
actual identity was quickly established.
1t seems from what my friends tell
me that I had gone from st. Louis to
Garden City as editor of an evening. pa
per in that town, and that one Of my
newspaper stories was about a bunch
of wild western gamblers who had ta-
ken from young man money that he
had to meet a debt at the bank The
story gave the names Of the men who
had sat in the game, and the bunch
came down to ''see the editor that
night.
In the fracas that followed was

across the street, according to a Gar

back of the head, exactly where 1 sup

of the brain, gradually bringing me to

to the East side drainage district does
me an injustice and is a mistake.
kept quiet on this proposition and said
nothing for or against it. William
Swanson, who was fined in the city
court for assaulting me assisted in
experimenting the construction of the
Fifth ward sewer which is in litigation
at the present time. He presented
petition to the city council containing
Is or 80 names asking that the Second
ward sewer be built. 1t was not for
the city's interest that Swanson was
working but for his own but the resi-
dents of the Second ward refused. This
is shown by remonstrance containing
between II and Is hundred names which
was filed and prevented the construc-
ton of the sewer. Respectfully,

Corn Replaces Wheat.

NOfIT ItSpfHCFS WTItdC.
In several of the counties from which
assessors returns have been received
II appears that where any material
area of wheat is worthless or plowed
up, considerable portions of this have
been planted to corn. For instance
1895 acres of wheat in Sumner coun-
ty is reported worthless, while the
corn area is more by 30493 acres, and
26,036 acres of wheat in Decatur was
abandoned, with the corn increased 10,
1853 acres over the preceding year.
Only one county (Gove. in the west
part) reports a condition of 100, the
highest; it's neighbor. Ness, is next
with SO. The better conditions are un-
