The Hills Also.

Some Of the Black Hills papers have
been complaining that the Hills haye
been left out OF the reduction in passen.
ger fares recently granted. They mis-
take. At "a meeting between the COM
missioners and the railway people on
Thursday the Black Hills was given a
reduction Of one cent a mile, the same
as the part of the state east of the Mis-
sonri river. The railroads have agreed
to make general reduction in passen-

line and they are now holding meetings

latter will take some little time. The

THE ALABAM CONVENTION
Proposed Suffrage Amendments to the
state Constitution

Montgomery. Ala. May 2S.-The lead
duced in the convention today by ex-
Governor Jones is that which denies the
right to vote to "any person who shall
hereafter pe guilty and convicted of
selling his own vote or buying or bar
tering the vote of another, in any legal
election or in any primary, caucus or
convention held to nominate persons or
public officers or to elect delegates to
any primary or convention, or who
shall make or aid in making any false
count. certificates or returns as to the
result of such election. primary, caucus
Or shall thereafter carry concealed
weapons and be convicted thereof"
On the desks of all the members is an
address by Senator Morgan and copies
of the suffrage clause which he has
prepared for the consideration of the
convention. The address is designed to
support the clause. Senator Morgan's
plan is simple. Nobody but a white
man shall hold office. A court of three
registrars is provided for each county
and these courts shall have absolute
power to determine the qualifications of
every voter, except that an appeal from
its decisions lies to the circuit court.
fshe registrars are elected, to start
With, by the courts of the county COM
missioners. but after the first term of
four years are to be chosen by the peo-
pie. The real feature of the plan is in
the provision that only white men shall
hold office. The registrar plan is SINH
las to the one in Mississippi, except
that the courts of registrars have
much wider discretion.

The Decision in the Insular Cases Dis
cussed by London Press

London, May 29.-"The world at large
stands to gain something by this mo-
mentous decision by which congress
may devise for the dependencies form
Of government outside Of the American
constitution" says The Westminster
Gazette today. discussing the United
States supreme courts judgment.
Without the decision" continues the
Westminster Gazette "the United
States government would have been
able to adopt a more liberal trade poll
cy outside of America than within.
without disarranging the whole of their
continental fiscal system. The relation
of America to Europe and the world
is profoundly modified by the new de-
parture. Colonies mean a navy, a navy
means naval bases and coaling sta
tions, and naval bases are insecure un-
less they are backed up by the posses
sion of a hinterlanc. This Is the logic
of imperialism and 1t may lead the
Americans as far as it has led u.s.
Moreover, by stepping outside their
continent the Americans undoubtedly
weaken the force Of the Monroe doc
trine. There is certain reciprocity
in the present arrangement that helps
to reconcile Europeans to their exclu-
sion from South America. but if the
United States plunges into weiter-
world politics equipped with strong
navy and an American canal, enabling
il to concentrate on either ocean, she
can hardly claim to compete on the
principle which limits liability while
putting no limit on her expansion. The
entrance Of the United States on the
scene as a world power Is already re-
garded as a highly disturbing factor
by the European cnancellories. The
new departure makes it more import
ant than before for the British and
Americans. by all possible means. to
keep on good terms with each other
and settle by friendly negotiations all
outstanding differences"
