THE TEXAS RACE WAR.
Sheriff Curtis Says Certain Negroes
Will Not Return.

| Dallas, Tex. Oct. 3-The race war
in Harrison county is reported to
have subsidized. All the white posse

the mob that whipped the negro

posse that was hunting for him say
they got tired of the chase. No one
expects him ever to be seen in this
neighborhood again. | don't know

He may be with Tom Walker.
Several other negroes have left
the county and there is no record of
where they have gone to. They are
not backin Harrison county. Things
have quoted down and we don t look
for any more immediate trouble
The opinion here is that the reports
that five negroes and one white man
are dead as the result of race conflict
is correct

President Roosevelt ON Trusts.

In his speech at Minneapolis on
Labor Day, President Roosevelt said:
more and more it is evident that
the state, and if necessary the nation,
has got to possess the right efsuper-
vision and control as regards the
great corporations which are it's
creatures, particularly as regards the
great business combinations which
derive a portion of their Importance
from the existence of some monopo-
listic tendency"
Mr.. Roosevelt was then vice-presi-
dent and as such had little influence
in shaping the policy of his party.
He is now president and in "a position
to give force and effect to his views
on the trust question. As the Chief
Executive it is his duty to enforce
the law as he finds it. II the present
Acknowledgement is not willing to
carry out his instructions he can de-
mand his resignation and appoint a
new Attorney General He can give
no excuse for failure to enforce the
law. When he was exercising au
thority in New York City, he took the
position that law ought either to
be ENLARGED or repealed. 1t is to be
hoped that he will take the same
position now.
Not only is he in control OF the Ex
ecutive Branch of the government, |
but he has a Senate, House and Su- |
preme Court in political harmony |
with him. If existing laws are not |
sufficient, he has the power of recon-
mendation and can propose meas
ures sufficiently severe to give to the
people the protection which he ad-
mits to be needed. 1t will be inter
esting to watch the new President
and see whether the hostility to trusts
manifested by him when he was lay
ing his plans to capture the next re-
publican convention is increased or
lessened by the responsibilities of the
office to which he aspired.-The Com
TnOner.

strong annexation party.

Root Slated for Premier.

New York, Oct BIN an interview
given to a reporter at Boulder, Col.
to-day, Secretary Gage is reported as
saying that Secretary of State Hay
will soon resign from the cabinet on
account of failing health and that he
will be succeeded by Secretary of War
Root.
Mr.. Gage is in the mountains en-
ioying much needed rest after the
many trying ordeals the death ofthe
president forced upon him. He did
not state when the change in the
cabinet would occur, but gave it out
as positive that it would take place
The interview quotes the secretary
OF the treasury as saying:
Secretary Hay is getting tired OF
the business. He is a man of strict
est honor. He is very sensitive, how
ever, and it hurts him, after he has
worked hard, to be misrepresented,
cartooned and lampooned. He is in
dependently rich. He can do as he
wishes, go wherever he desires He
has few very intimate friends and
he would rather enjoy life surrounded
by agreeable companions and his
books than attend to the tiresome
and changeless routine of the office
of secretary OF state. | should not

ASSASSIN BOLDLY PRAISED.
Emma Goldman Den0unces the Late

Assassin Czolgosz and denunciatioI
OF President Mckinley characterize
the article by Emma Goldman in to-
days issue of the Free Society. the
first issue of the organ of the anarch-
! lists since the assassination. Her
article says in part:
Never before in the history OfgOv-
ernments has the sound of a pist oil
shot SO startled, terrOrized and hor-
rified the self-satisfied, Indifferent,
contented and indOlent public as
has the one fred by Leon Czolgosz
when he struck down William Mckin-
ley. president of the money kings and
trust magnates of the country.
why this howl of a hired press?
Why such bloodthirsty and violent
utterances from the clergy? Why
the MAD ravins,s OF the mob, the de-
mand for rigid laws to curtail free
dom of speech and the press? Now
that the impossible has happened,
that even America has given birth to
the man who struck down the king
of the republic, they have lost their
heads and are shouting for vengeance
upon those who for years have shown
that the conditions here were begin
ming to be alarming and until halt
be called despotism would set its
heavy foot on the hitherto relatively |
free limbs of the people.
Il did not know Czolgosz, but from |
his attitude and behavior | feel that |
he was a soul in pain, a soul that |
could find no abode in this cruel |,
world OF ours, soul impractical, in
lacking in caution accord
ing to the dictum of the wise), but
daring just the same, and / can not
help but bow in reverenced silence be-
ore such a soul"
Mayor Harrison has issued a per-
order to Chief of Police
D Neill instructing him to prevent
The delivery of any lecture by Miss
Goldman in Chicago at the present
lime. Her advertisement that she
will give publicly the lecture which
CzOlgosz said first melted him to the
of his crime is declared

short of the extreme of impudence
Any Justification the police depart

ic appearance now would be likely to
provoke some breach of the peace.

Sturgis Mich Democrat: The
American farmer is obliged to sell in
tree trade markets and TO buy in pro-
tected markets where competition is
shut out by protective tariff laws
that have been made for the purpose
of enabling the favored manufacture
ers to charge whatever price they see
fit for their wares. This is only an
instance, but it comes right home to
every farmer, and it is hoped they
will remember it on election day when
asked TO continue in power the party
which has passed the protective tariff
laws and under the administration of
which this great scheme of legalized
robbery has been built up.

white man is aboriginal to IT, which we
all know is not So Quite true. When the
white men discovered America. 1T was
overrun and dominated by savaSes With
red skins. But the white man took pos
session and the red man was driven laf-
ther and farther back into the forest
until by and by the white man owned all
the land and the red skins were tramps
upon the American continent. That is
the way of the white man, especially
when he happens to be of the Anglo
Saxon race. When he takes possession
Of a land he occupies it and has donin-
ion over it, and that is the simple fact
which we have stated. There is d place
for the black man in this country, and
in spite of many complaints he is getting
along fairly we'll Many black men have
accumulated property. have educated
themselves, have shown the progressive
spirit and have progressed. There are
hundreds OF such men in Richmond to-
day and they are not giving themselves
mucil concern about the so-calied negro
problem. They get all the respect that
they deserve and no man prevents them
from toHing and trading and getting gain
But whenever the black man is put into
such competition with the white man as
to deprive tire white man Of the first

trouble for the black man. 1t has been

\ MERE STATEMENT OF FACT

one would infer from some comments
in the Petersburg lndex-Appeal that The
Times thinks that the negro has no rights
in This country, and that he ought not
u have opportunity to make living and
accumulate There is. however, nothing
in what The Times has said on his sub
iect 10 justify any such conclusion. The
Times has the very kinGest sort of feel
ing fer the black man, and has said time
and again of late that it would be a cruel
thing ana an unjustiiiable thing for tie
people of Virginia or any Southern State
to adont a rule by which the school
money collected from white taxpayers
should al go towards the support OF ttle
White schools, and only the money col
lected from colored taxpayers be appro-
prlatca to the schools for colo-ed chill
dren We believe in giving the blacks Q
fair chance to educate themselves and
make themselves useful and prosperous
citizens.
But that does not alter the simple fact
whicla NE stated. We said That this was
a white mans country. that white men
discovered it. white men settled it, white
men gained its independence, white men
developed its resources and made ii rich
and that, therefore, Waite men would
continue To rule it and TO enjoy its first
