MOODY COMPLIMENTS
MAJ. LACEY.
Valuable Services the Sixth District
Congressman Has Rendered the <
Miners.

Secretary Moody before leaving
for Omaha Tuesday morning paid
a warm tribute to Congressman
John F. Lacey and told an inter
esting bit Of inside history. Last
winter Secretary Lacey, then in
congress, was head of the COM
mittee on insular affairs. He
said when this committee, in
drafting the Philippine govern
ment bill got to the point where
it wanted the mining laws for
the islands drafted Congressman
Lacey was called in and asked to
draft them. He did so. Secre-
tary Moody said every piece Of
the mining Legislation for the
territories had been drafted by
Lacey as chairman of the COM
mittee on public lands. The
committee knew this and was
aware that Lacey was the most
thoroughly posted man on this
subject in the house. For this
reason his assistance was asked
and Secretary Moody said when
Lacey had made "a draft Of the
laws Of the islands the committee
on insular affairs incorporated i
into the bill without aceange.

4 WHI7E RAPIST,
Bloodhounds Caught Edward
Egbert of Melrose Who is
Charged with Assault.

Ottumwa, Ia, Oct. 13. After
having been tracked by blood
hounds from the scene of one of
the most dastardly crimes ever
committed in the vicinity of Abba
to a bed room in the Murray
hotel in Melrose, Ed. Egbert, 26
years of age, son Of Daniel Egg.
bert, a farmer residing about two
miles southwest Of Melrose, was
placed under arrest Sunday,
charged with raping Gertie Kill
lion, 13 years of age, in a slough
one and one-fourth miles south
east of that place. Egbert is in
Jail here. To-day Sheriff Doner
filed informasion against him
charging him with the crime
which has shocked the neighbor-
hood. Egbert was charged with
a similar crime some four years
ago.
Saturday afternoon when it
was found that the posses efforts
to obtain a trace of the criminal
were likely to prove fruit1ess a
pack Of bloodhounds at Knoxville
were sent for. The animals ar
rived about 2 O'Clock Sunday
morning. At 1880 O'clock the
same morning they we're taken to
scene of the crime.
The animals at once took the
trail and FOLLOWED It straight into
Melrose, up to the Murray hotel
and into a bed room, where, it is
claimed, Egbert slept Friday
night. 1t is also claimed that he
changed his clothing in the same
room Sunday morning.
If the above had only been a
co1ored man the people would
have wanted to lynch him, and
the newspapers would have hurl-
ed it over the country that he
was ''Black Fiend" or a "Black
Brute" especially the Des Moines
Daily Capital thus ridiculing or
stigmatizing our down trodden
race. Why did rot those same
journals call him a white brute
or fend? Is the colored man any
more of brute then the white
man who done the same fiendish
act? Oh our white contemporar-
les. Let us be fair and deal
honest. We have feelings.

KNIGHTS OF pYTHIAs BANQUET.

about $50 were present, notwi.hstand-

lied about two months. The meeting

Worthy Chancellor, who introduced
Atty. ]. Il. Rush rs the toastmaster
The first speaker was editor J ohm l..

THE COAL STRIKE.

The great anthracite coal strike
which has been in unpleasant
operation for the past five months
will perhaps be settled by arbi-
traitors, appointed by President
Roosevelt. 1t has been a long
siege which has brought untold
misery, suffering from cold and
hungry for many many thousands
of people residing east of the
Alleghanies. Than again this
strike like most strikes which
has prolonged and caused SO
much bitterness between the
operators and employees, has
caused much bloodshed and dis
truction of property. Of course
to this question there are two
sides and we have refrained from
expressing our views. It 10 true
that organized labor properly
conductedis is helpful and essential
to the advancement of society,
but like organized capital, has
been unreasonable, selfish and
prejudiced. Another great prin-
ciple in free government, the
operator or man who owns a
business ought to be permitted
to con luct his own business to
his ideas if not intruding on others
rights. If labourers do not wish
to work for him why quit, but do
not prevent others from working
that would, or destroy property.
I would consider these acts little
less than anarchy. If you cannot
force by reason or persuasion
your brother workman to quit,
than you must not force them by
threats or intimidation. Then
again for the colored laborer do
not think that the unions have
been of much general and sub
stantial benefit, for many of the
unions will not allow them as
members, and only take them
when they are forced or when they
think it expedient to do so to ac-
complish their object.

BLIND BOONE'S COMPANY.
Perhaps the most famous American
pianist living to-day is Blind Boone,
who gave series of musical concert
entertainments in our city last week,
which was well attended and much
appreciate d, more especially this time
by his own race, which we were glad
to see them attend these concerts. for
the race must know good talent and
give them their support where ever
found. Mr.. Boone was supported by
almost all of his regular company, ex-
cept 9 few new girls. Miss Stella May
was suffering from cold and did not
appear. Mr.. John Lang his trusted
manager, who for % years has piloted
Blind Boone to financial success, still
manages the company. Mr.. Boone's
rare genius as q natural musician is
certainly phenomenal. His compost
ton and rendition of the Marshall
Field tornado was supurb and the
rendition Of the classic, was fine.

WORK or TUSKEGEE

We have just received a pamph-
let containing the 21st annual
report of Booker T. Washington
to the trustees of his school. It
shows the wonderful growth of
the institution. The number of
enrolled last year was
1884, the average attendance was
1918; these come from 80 states
and territories, and five foreign
countries. This number does not
include the pupils of the neigh
borhood that attend primary de-
partment or the 121 who attend
eight school, there is Is who at
tend the afternoon cooking school
neither does it include the thous-
ands of men and women who are
helped through the Tuskegee
Negro conference.
There are 112 officers, instruc-
tors and assistants in the various
departments. There has grown
out Of this institution II schools
that are institutions above the
grades of the public schools. The
report shows that the school has
received the past year $341, 401.O9
In speaking Of the Industrial de-
partment he says it is crowded.
The thinking people all over
the country are encouraging an
industrial education and especial
ly among our people in the south-
ern states.
Mr.. Washington is doing much
to uplift the race. There are but
few men who have done as much
as he has.

What is the reason that so little

question. are we advancing or not?
We advance in some particulars, bat
we fall back dreadfully, especially
morally speaking. We do not mean
to leave out all of the older genera
ton either, fof many Of them are
leaving very poor examples behind
them. Young women forget that
they were ever born into the world
for good, and allow themselves to
be led away by men who care moth
ing for them morally and less for
themselves.
1t is surprising to 60 around
through this city at night and find
this class Of citizens calling out to
one another by first names or a
nickname to wait, instead of usins
refinement, the same as they were
taught to do in the public schools
when neither of them were "knee
high to a grasshopper," so to speak.
Most of our young people have lost
the raising that they had when they
were comparative infants.
