Lieutenant Gov. w. X. Allen,
who has filled the executive
chair during Governo
absence attending the confer
vention conference at the White
House is one of the old time re-
publicans who stands for all the
people and at all times has stood
for their interests. Race, color
or creed, cut no figure with him,
it is merit that counts, and with
such men as him at the helm III
public office, all would at all
times have a square deal.

POLITICALLY, WHERE is
THE NEGRO AT?

We have been watching the
Press throughout the country for
some days to see (l) if Senator
Cullum, Illinois, would himself
rise and refute the charges that
he has gone on record as favor
ing the wholesale disfanchise-
ment of the Negro citizens in the
South. (2) AS to whether Presi-
dent Taft would deny that he is
wrongly quoted as concurring
with the Senator's views, but the
Associated Press has afforded us
no relief. We have waited in
vain for refutation from either
Of the distinguished representa-
tives Of the G.. O. p. and take for
granted that they must be accur-
ately quoted. That being the case
all we have to say is, words are
inadequate to express our sur
prise and disappointment, es-
ecially when viewed in the light
Of what the Negro has suffered
for those very men and the party
since the day OF emancipation.
When we think Of the oceans OF
blood shed by the Negro and
men-we mean white men-ot
the North to perpetuate the Prin-
ciple of the Republican party,
when we think Of all this, and
more. we are astonished beyond
utterance that right now at this
particular hour we are wounded
in tn house OF our friends" la
cerated and thrown overheard,
and now into the sea just where
our late lamented leader, Freder-
/ ick Douglas said we would be II
we ourselves desert the party
now. What would Mr.. Douglas
say were he alive today-can any
one guess? And what IS this sac
/ rifce on the alter laid, namely,
! listen and think as you read: ITO
build up a lily white Republican
party" Where is the Negro at?

VERNON is ALL RIGHT

We notice that the Mirror has
proclaimed warfare on Register
Vernon as to his aspirations,
and etc. We do not know
that before all the people if ever
a man made good it has been
Vernon, he has at all times had
opposition, and he would not
amount to much if he had none.
The charges about Jim Growing
the schools of Kansas is all L)sh,
he has, by hard work and hust-
ling, built in Kansas which is
not only a credit to himself and
Kansas, but to the entire Nation.
The Jim Crow would come to
Kansas of its own violation, 1t
did not need anyone to bring it,
we we'll remember that before
Vernon ever saw Kansas, how
steadily the Jim Crow was mar
ching on, and experienced some
Of it ourselves before Doctor
Vernon was ever heard OF in
Kansas, and that too right in
the capital city, where we were
reared and know what we are
.alking about. These attacks on
have lost their venom
ong ago. and nothing can stop
, man like him, his deeds sweep
Ill opposition before aside and
nothing can avert it he will 60

he heights and reap the reward
which he deserves.

The political pot is now sim
mering the lines are oot and
speculation is ripe as to who will
make the race for mayor at the
coming election, some say that
Mayor Edwards is an active
candidate for reelection and
others say that the old demo-
cratic war horse, X. r. Purcell,
will be brought out of his retire
ment to make the race. Majors
is also spoken of as also are
Streets, Reifenrath and Dry
burg.
Then there is a bunch of the
wise one who say that ]. c.
Murray is the logical candidate
and the only republican who can
win. In the meantime the

Guthrie is said to be develop

and it will have to be a good
man indeed who will better fill
that position than Judge Guthrie.

Editor Raftery, who is autori-

Johnson that if he would care
for her during her lifetime he
should inherit the estate, says
the Surrogate. | do not think
it surprising that the decendent
chose to reside with Johnson.
She had worked with Johnson
and other Negroes for a quarter
Of a century, and was accus-
toned to them. She only went
to live with Johnson after she
had diligently sought a place
elsewhere.
The decision in the Torpey will
contest was OF general interest,
in which two brothers and a
sister sought to have the Topey
will annulled, and Margaret NJ,
Bennett, a trained nurse intro
duced a will purporting to have
been drawn up after the docu-
ment which named Johnson as
heir and best friend of the testa-
trix.
Surrogat Thomas threw out
the will presented by Miss Ben
nett, and further decided that
Johnson was the proper person
to receive the estate.
Bridget Torpey came to this
country when she was II years
old. and for over twenty-five
