OLDEST NfcCiRO JOURNAL
... IN KANSAS CITY,
TWICE ALL
THE REST. ifc
i"he paid circulation
of The Rising Son
is more than double
the combined circu
lation of all the other
Kansas City Colored
weekly newspapers.
The tu iirii as to mush of the paper
published by his rare, to contribute
mi little promise. Is like pie crust, it
i.-i tasily broken.
Tin' manner in which Attorney Con
eral lladley Is nolnu after the Stand
ard Oil trust Is attracting general at
tention thiouimliout the country.
General lladley is a flhti r and wheth
er or not he accomplishes his purpose,
the cn;it oil monopolists will at least
become acquainted with the new nt
toiiey general.
It takes money to run a paper as
well as it does other thiims.
Why don't you pay your sutisci lp- j
tioti? Why iId you say you will call
at the office? You know yon don't
mean it. but you expect us to be right
on the dot and up-to-date as you call
it.
V. I'. Woolf will be a candidate for
alderman from the Third Ward on the
Republican ticket.
The time has come when our white
friends should cease censuring the
entire negro race for the mistakes or
short coinings of one or two individual
members of the race.
The Washington Ilee, our esteemed
contemporary, has reached the new
Senator from Missouri, William War
ner. It gives the Senator a very flat
tering sketch. All true however,
Senator Warner Is a man among men,
a lawyer of note and a statesman of
tin.' highest rank.
FORTY YEARS OF FREEDOM.
The Negro Race Problem.
Nothing is more certainly written in
the book of fate than these people are
to be free, nor Is it less certain that
the two races, equally free, cannot
live In the same government. This
was the prophecy of Thomas Jefferson.
writing in IS'I, in the evening of his j
long life, and onlv five years before j
his death. l,oug since has the first
part of the prediction been filled; it j
came forty years after he wrote amid
the thunders and lightnings of the
civil war. Since then another forty
years have nearly passed away and !
the nation is face to face with the
quest ion "Can two races equally free,
live in the same government?" It is
thi' very greatest problem that con
fronts the Republic in these opening
years of the new century, and It will
require the united efforts of nil the
people to find the right solution to it.
The day Is gone, and. In Interest of
both races, it is well that is should be
so. Democrats and Republicans have
now an equal interest In formulating
ihe conditions which shall retrieve
whatever errors may have been com
mitted and produce policies under the
operations of which social order shall
be concerned and our common civiliza
tion maintained. The burdens ot re
sponsibility Is largely upon the South,
but the South should not be left to
struggle under it unaided by the other
sections of the I'nlon, in which tho
end Is less and consequently more
easily dealt with.
We reproduce the opening Idea of
T.hos. White, In the Freeman, on tho
above subject.
Less a woman has to complain
about the more she complains.
A lot of people never think of their
religion until they hear the church
bells ringing.

World Would Still Move On.
Hurt on Holmes tells a good story,
calculated to prevent 'swelled head"
on the part of persons who think that
the world could not go on iwthout
them."
T was sitting In the loby f a large
hotel in Cincinnati," said Mr. Holmes
"pust as a 'bus load of traveling sales
men arived from the station. They
busted up to the desk in their usual
business-like and brezzy manner nnd
one after the other signed the register
One nnd all shoke hands with the
hotel clerk, a quint, fatherly old fel
low, who had been there a good many
years, and one of the knights of the
road said:
"Well t'nclo Have, It's a good you're
not dead yet. I don't think the house
could run without you,"
"Oh yes it would,' said the old
cleri, 'you fellow would come In
here, and if there was a strange clerk
on wntch, you'd say, "Where's I'ncle
Have?"
"Why didn't you hear about him?
He died last month."
"Then you'd say, "Well, I'll he .Iran
el! That's too bad. "Say, what time'll

would be three times as quick to take
the three p's out of each popper.

While Pat Kern, a sturdy young
Irishman of Philadelphia, was stand

lawyer approached and called out to
him that an uncle living in Ireland had
died, leaving him 1100,000. Pat
promptly fell from the ladder at the

soon went back to his task.

WHEN TO CRITICISE.
When your heart is warm with love,
Even for your enemies;
When your words come from above.
Not from where the venom Is;
When you see the man entire,
Not alone the faults be has;
Find a somewhat to admire
Underneath the paltry mass
Not till then, if you are wise,
Will you dare to criticise.

Nice Old-Fashioned Folk.
Senator Pettus of Albama, wears
shirts made by his wife and socks
which she has knitted. The olJ couple
live In Selraa when not In Washington,

spurn the flax herself. Now she finds
her eyes are fallng and she buys the
linen from a merchant In Mobile, but
the remainder of the work Is her labor
or love. As she talks to her guests,
whether at home or In Washington,
her fingers are busy with knitting.
Mrs. Pettus has a remarkable memory
and tells entertaining anecodotes In a
nunlnt. olJ- fashioned w-. On every
nnniversnrv of their marriage the
