For several months past a great deal
of interest has been shown by the law
yers of Kansas in the question of re-
nomination and reelection of Chief
Justice Johnston and Justice Burch, of
the supreme court, whose terms expire
the coming year. In July the leading
members of the bar of both political
parties at Hutchinson, published an ar
ticle in the Hutchinson News favOring
such denomination The movement
among the attorneys of the state seems
to have progressed to the point at
which united effort viii be made in
that direction.
The people of Kansas are justly proud
of the position which their supreme
court has taken among the courts of
the country in recent years. From time
to time for the past five, or six years,
favorable comment upon the decisions
given by the Kansas supreme court and
upon the promptness and expedition
with which the business of the court
has been conducted. have appeared in
various law journals of the country and
editorial comment in such papers as
the Topeka Capital. Topeka State Jour
nal, Kansas City Star and other lead
ing papers of the country. The Kansas
court is recognized the country over
as a court which looks to the equities
of the matters in controversy, rather
than the antiquated technicalities.

THE UESTlON-HOW SHOULD
WE, THE YOUNG NEGRO,
VOTED

Politics, What is the meaning of
that word politics? We, the young
Negroes, have been taught to believe
that the word politics means govern
ment, law made by the people for
the good of all, irregardless of creed
or color. But does the laws of the
states and counties live up to their
proviso to the Negroes as they
should? Some twenty or thirty years
ago there were only two or three diff
ferent political parties, but today
are at least a half dozen and they all
claim that they and their party are
for the people, and for better rights
and whole lot of other junk that we
have vet to see. Take the Negro il
the game of politics and what does
he amount to? Or what is there in
the game for the Negro? Well, We
are human the same as the white
man and we feel that it is our duty
TO have word as a great many OF
the Negroes all over the country are
big taxpayers and they certainly
have a right to that much il it is only
to be a voter and nothing more in
politics. But we the young Negroes
of today, want to do something more
than to be common voter. We want
position with these said parties, but
the most important question we young
Negroes have to ask is which way
should We cast our votes. We used
to think that the Republican party
was the only party for the Negro,
but we OF this day and time must see
more good OF the old party, or of both
parties, the Republicans and Demo
Gratis And | think that the party
which gives the Negro the best
chance is the party to side in with
and we should be given some consid-
Grafton as the Negro vote throughout
the whole country is large and means
much to both.

C0LoRED THEATER-GoERs.

The colored people who attend the
different theaters where there are
colored acts to be played, don't seem
TO be as appreciative of the colored
acts that appear at different times as
they should be. That is they are not
as demonstrative with their applause
for the colored acts as the whites
are with the white performers and
applause is what makes the actor an
actor If it wasn't for the public
sentiment the performers would have
an awful hard time trying to reach
their highest ambitions. So when
ever you see a colored act give them
plenty hand for it always helps.

Runns on the Head.

The lump raised by a blow on the
head is due to the resistance offered
by the hard skull and its close connec-
ton with the movable elastic scalp by
many circumscribed bands Of connec-
tive tissue The result of blow when
the scalp is not cut is the bruising and
laceration of many of the small blood
vessels or capillaries. Blood or its
fluid constituent, serum, is poured into
the meshes of the surrounding con-
nective tissue, which is delicate,
spongy, distensible and cellular, and
the well known bump or lump is quick.
ly formed. This cannot push inward
at all and naturally takes the line of
least resistance. Similar bumps may
be formed on the skin in exactly the
same way, for the shin bone also is
covered only by skin and subcutaneous
connective tissue.
