Several of our leading business men have called upon the Editor and considered with him the advisability of answering the article, but we think he has wisely decided to act upon the training of his parents from childhood, that when lie heard nothing, to say nothing. In all justice to the Vindicator, I feel that I voice the sentiments of our people in Cotfeyville when I assort that the editor has jiven to the public a neat, clean paper, free from personal prejudice or vindictiveness, and his manly stand for the Negro against all odds has been clearly demonstrated to the general satisfaction of the colored citizens of Cotfeyville and Southern Kansas.

Ho has taken advantage of every opportunity to defend the race against abuse and unfair discrimination and his fight against II. C. Dooley several months ago, as well as the Jim crow school law has been bold and fearless. this, no one can deny. We conimcd him for that manly stand that has characterized his editorials in defending the colored citizens of Cotfeyville.

As for our school conditions, to say that ho has been an accessory, cannot bo backed with the slightest resemblance of truth. The local conditions of our public school existed before the launching of the Vindicator in this city: and the amelioration of present conditions will only be gained by a legal disposition which is now pending in the supreme court, not by the blusterous talk of any individual or click.

In his rolo as commissioner of Education for the island, his duties impose upon him the responsibility of its work in any of his articles, or even paying it the courtesy which all journalists bestow on fellow workers. He has carefully ignored your very existence until he saw that you were gathering around you some of the best writers in the state, to assist in furnishing your readers with something worth reading; that you were making friends in his camp, then he leaps from his cave and attempts to crush you with one blow of his paw. You have nothing to fear by his attact. Your readers approve of the manly, conservative and intelligent way in which you have treated the various issues that confronts us; they applaud your efforts in seeking the cooperation of all true race men in trying to better our condition; They condemn the knock-down and-drag-o methods; the anarchistic advice and blood and thunder writings of this Leopard, who poses as the great "mogul" of Kansas, and they hope that you will continue the even tenor of your way as though no such animal ever existed.

For once in the history of Missouri, its chief executive comes out openly and condemns lynching.

It is to be hoped that future prevention along this line will receive at least as much, attention as the closing of the" saloon, on Sunday; surely it is of as much importance? In giving out his statement to the press immediately after the Belmont lynching, Gov.
