NEGRO BILL YOKE
ShiIlady Says Segregation
Measure Step Toward. Slavery.
Many Other Speakers Before
Negro Meeting Saturday.

In a talk at the mass meeting of
colored people and their white friends
and well wishers held at the Memorial
hall Saturday night, John R., Shillady.
president of the National Association
for the Advancement of Colored Peo-
pie, called upon the people of Kansas
to prevent the replacing of the yoke
of slavery on the necks of the black
race. He was referring to the Sparks
Yount segregation measure which was
recently killed by the legislature and
to the new bill which has just been
introduced providing for practically
the same thing-the segregation of the
negroes in the public schools.
Shillady pointed to the statistics
gathered in the southern states and
showed by comparison that the negro
has not a fair chance for advancement
and that he is not given the rights
granted under the constitution of the
United States and which were con-
ferred on him by the emancipation
proclamation.
Will Create Dissension.
He pointed to the proposed segrega-
ton measure as a thorn which If
passed will prove to create untold dis
sension and a widening of the breach
which at present exists between the
two races, and he called upon the peo-
pie of Kansas to stand pat on the pres
ent state of affairs to the end that the
breach may eventually be closed.
The speaker related the deeds of
heroism which have been performed
on the battlefields of Europe by the
black sons of America. and asked
whether their reward for the loyal
and substantial support given the flag
of America In war time is to be re-
paid with laws utterly at variance
| with a true conception of democracy.
Jackson's 23rd regiment band gave
! a short concert preceding the address
and the glee club of the Topeka In
! dustrial Institute sang several num-
/ bers. Mrs. j. NJ. Wright and Miss
Margaret Rust took part in the musi-
| cal program, each rendering a vocal
| solo. James Guy presided at the
meeting as chairman.
Other speakers on the program
| were Rev. T. r. Ransom, of Topeka;
Lieut.. G. w. Belts, of Wichita; Judge
| =. f. Bradley, of Kansas City, Kan.
Rev. C. P. Morrow, of Emporia, and
Prof. Jefferson King, of Kansas City
| Kan, All of these speakers told OF
the work which is being done in Kan
| sas to promote the interests of the
colored race and to make them good
| citizens.
