OUR LETTER BOX.

To Whom it May Concern, and to Railroad
 Officials in Particular:
 The efforts pow being made to control the votes of f. lee American citizens wLo are in the employment of railroad com- panies and other corporations is an in- famous and wholly unwarranted inter- ference with their liberties and will, if not stopped, end in their debasement and final enslavement.
 The chief glory of American citizen ship is the right to vote as judgment and conscience dictate The safety of the re- public requires that this right shall be absolutely guaranteed and secured to every citizen without let or hindrance.
 The man who seeks unduly to control the vote of another who may be in his employment is a dangerous citizen and should be restrained as other dangerous animals are.
 The coming legislature of Alabama is thoroughly democratic and in it is a goodly number of men of force. fully in- bued with a knowledge of the rights and interests of the people and who will pro- tect them in the free enjoyment of the same They will, l hope, excuse me for reminding them of few clauses in our state constitution and for urging them to see that these requirements are faith fully observed or else the seVerest penal ties are provided so that the people may protect themselves against tyranical op- pfeSSlOn Tn US most OQlQuS and dangerous form.
 Article 1, section 34--The right of suf- frage shall be protected by laws regu- lating elections and prohibiting under adequate penalties all undue influences from power, bribery, tumult or other improper conduct.
 Article IA, section All general laws and special acts passed pursuant to this section may be altered, amended or re- pealed. (Close of section on corpora tions.)

THE PIPE OF PEACE
SIOUX AND CHIPPEWA INDIANS
BURY THE RATCHET.
The Interesting Ceremonies Occur
mt Ashland. Wis. which II Near
the Scenes of Some Of the Most
Noted Battles I'm Indian Warfare
The City Of Ashland Celebrates
with the Indians.

Ashland, Wis. Sept. Is. - The pipe
Of peace was smoked to-day between
the Sioux and the Chippewas. who
have been enemies for centuries, with
all the ancient formalities. The cere-
monies occurred In the CheGuamegon
hotel ard the Indians were attired in
war paint and feathers appropriate to
the occasion.
u. s. A., were present. The former
was chosen to represent the Sioux.
After a greeting by Col. Cody the pipe
of peace was lighted and Ankawd,
the orator. offered the pipe to Buffalo
Bill with the peculiar waving that has
a deep significance to the reds. II
will smoke with you this afternoon
when we meet after the performance"
said Buffalo Bill. 1--WE have the pipe
lighted. we consider you the head of
the Sioux; through you we smoke the
peace pipe with cur ancient enemies"
Buffalo Bill and Lieut.. Mercer then
smoked and the other usual cere-
monies were gone through.
1t was a striking picture to see the
glances of the Sioux and Chippewas
as they met the grandson Of the cele-
DTdttu cIlel, buildiO, OF tue Culppt-
was. over a thousand Indians were
feted at the Hotel Chequamegon, and
the appearance of hundreds of well
dressed Chippewa Indian children in
dicates that the Indian question has
practically been solved. Banks. schools
and business houses were closed in
honor of the event.
The event is n of historical i'm
portance, as they met near the Genes
of some Of the most noted battles in
Indian warfare. At the Brule river I'm
1912 over 100 Sioux were slain in their
repulse after attacking the Chippe-
was. Just below the Island. where
the river branches. Chief Buffalo lured
the Sioux into the stream. The pitched
battle was opposite Taylos Falls. on
the ST. Croix river, on the Wisconsin
boundary. One of the bloodiest on
ficts was the great naval battle be-
tween the Madeline and Bass islands
and main shore. just north Of bayfield,.
The Chippewas originally moved into
the Apostle islands to keep their fam
lilies safe from the Sioux.

ton Of the sultan.


tion of the sultan.
London, Sept. 13.-Henry Asquith.
formerly secretary Of state for the
home department. has addressed the
following message to the Chronicle:
Il shall shortly address my con
~stituents when i shall express my
views at length, but I am In entire
accord with the conviction that the
time has come when Great Britain
should refuse to hold further terms
with the government which has be-
come a mere instrument FOR executing
the purposes of a will either criminal
or insane. The European powers by
whose favor the sultan holds his
throne. cannot condone his past
crimes or ignore future dangers with
out sharing the guilt of the one and
becoming directly responsible for the
other. | hope we shall witness such a
manifestation of opinion here rs will
save Great Britain from any such
completely and will give strength and
authority to decided action on the part
Of our government"
The Chronicle in an editorial ap-
plauds MIR. Asquith's strong message
a In every way worthy a responsible
statesman. Mr. Gladstone, I'm another
letter on the same subject, declares:
The use which six powers have
made of remonstranct III the past year
has not been n mere failure or a mock
cry, but a great instrument of mis-
chief. because it was implied hat suca
a matter can be disposed of by discus
sion and has thereby supplied whole
sale and deliberate murder with the
only assistance it wanted. namely. the
assurance Of impunity. In my judg-
ment. ever silence would be prefera-
BILE to such discussion"
The Daily News LiberaD comment
ing e%ditorially upon Mr.. Gladstone's
letter says: THE first necessity of
European peace is the disposition OF
the sultan"
The Chronicle and Daily News and
other newspapers have headings over
articles on this subject such as "A Ma
ton Aroused etc. They publish coll
umns Of accounts OF meetings. pro-
tests of public bodies and churches
and of influential men.

WILL NAME so TICKET
This Conclusion Reached BY the
Wisconsin Gold Democrats.

Wisconsin Gold Democrats.
Milwaukee, Sept. u. - Gold money
Democrats of Wisconsin will place no
state ticket in the field. This con-
clusion was reached last night during
the second session of the state com
mittee. HaG n vote been taken before
the committee adjourned for supper
the plan for n state ticket would have
gone through almost unanimously, but
during the intermission before the
evening session the committee thought
oye Gen. Bragg's announced refusal
to run for governor, Inc the difficulty
there would be in the face Of this to
get a good man to head the ticket
when barely two months remained for
campaign work. These views were
presented when the meeting was
called to order. Besides this, there
was developed in the minds OF some
Of the delegates a fear that If a tick
ct was named those favoring a com
bins with the Democrats on the regu-
lar party ticket might get their
scheme through, and ii was thought
best to Kill the whole thing. This de-
cision was reached, though, only after
a long, hard fight.
The gold Democrats will make an
active campaign. however, and viii
arrange at once 10 place forty or fifty
speakers in the field. 1t was decided
that the members of the state central
committee in each district should act
as a congressional committee and APP
point subcommittee in the assembly
districts. The subjects of making
nominations in the congressional and
assembly districts was left to the COM
mittees i'm those districts. Wherever
it can be done TO advantage candi-
dates will be named.
