cared to be big ofllce boy I eagerly accepted and remained with him until my father moved to another town I have always remembered one of the first things Lincoln said to me It was: "Work hard bo

of checkmating this negro colonization would be to In some manner restrict the franchise of the ignorant negro as has been advocated by Lincoln and Judge Taft He was never bo at ease as when tilted back in his chair with his big feet resting on the table In that position his great length seemed even greater than it was It may not seem possible to connect the Lincoln so revered today with an attitude so undignified but I have often seen him so and the natural ungalnliness of his lank figure rendered him very ludicrous His only chair was a Windsor of tho hard rugged old-fashioned sort were recorded today nine yesterday Jolly's dance tonight For Cash For Cash BENNETT BACK i as different as could be Imagined There la In Washington a negro lawyer who went to Oklahoma last year and was paid a largo fee by the negroes for trying to prove the Jim Crow law imconstltutional It is understood that this lawyer in a way still represents the negroes of Oklahoma and that he Is pointing out to the negroes in Washington and elsewhere the opportunities Oklahoma offords In fact there seems to be a general plan of colonization of negroes in the new state It is ENDS Dr Leo Dennett who was elected grand treasurer of the Oklahoma Grand Lodge of Masons at tho meeting which closed In Guthrie Thursday returned home today At this See West Window of New Spring Suitings meeting the grand lodges of the

the elegantly upholstered chairs in the oflice of leading lawyers today For visitors there was an uncushioned bench along the wall I have heard many stories of his bringing his lunch to the office and eating it off the office table while discussing cases with clients but I never saw him do that and do not believe he ever did it But he liked to work In his shirt sleeves when alone in the ofllce I have no recollection of any tilts with my boss He was always kind and good-natured He had Rifle respect for smokers He once remarked of a pipe: "A fire at one end and a fool at the other" Another recollection I have of him is that he shaved himself and always came to the ofllce with a perfectly smooth face except in winter when he allowed his whiskers to grow 1 cannot better close my reminiscences than by quoting a saying which I have heard him utter to many people but which 1 have never seen In print: "Keep a stiff upper lip and a steel backbone and don't let' any one discourage you" It healed the heart wounds of exactly national in its scope ls being backed by the Republican national committee The idea being to make it a Republican state The principal obstacle in getting negroes to go to Oklahoma is the Jiin Crow statute The negroes dislike that more than anything else Hut it is being pointed out that by colonizing a few thousand of them In close counties in the state the legislature could be made Republican and the Jim Crow law repealed It ls also pointed out that a few hundred negro votes in certain counties would make it possible for more negroes to hold otllce It Is doubtful if the people living in Oklahoma themselves realize the danger they nre in if this plan which la being steadily worked out Is not check mat ed in some manner There are now between 27000
