This editorial voices our sentiment
We prefer to reprint this from th'
Miner in preference to an article o
our own, for fear we should be judged
of being biased:

caust at Lansing. Texas, as detailed
In the Miners news columns yester
day, and which attracted a large and
appreciative audience of both men and
women.
The wretched Negroes eyes were
burned out by flaming sticks, as a pre-
liminary to the feast of cruelties that
was in store for the criminal, the
woman whom he had assaulted being
present to enjoy the ceremonials and
demonstrate TO the world what a deli
cate and tender creature she was.
ut is hard for the common herd in
a civilized community to appreciate
or understand the highly developed
sensitiveness and aesthetic tastes of a
female of this type, but Texas has the
capacity to produce her.
"The Lone Star state brings a blush
to the face of the poet who wrote
that hell hath no fury like a woman
scorned,' for Texas goes hell a little
better in the case referred to.
ut is not difficult to imagine that
the indignation of the people would
lead to the death of the colored
wretch who had perpetrated an as.
sault upon the female in question,
even though he did not go to the ex.
IRENE of taking her life, as is the
usual practice in such cases; but 1t
requires a vivid stretch of the i'm.
agination to detect any good to the
community that can come from the
series of savage tortues and picture
esque inhumanities that preceded the |
death of the criminal

RADICAL CHANGES
CONGRESSMAN BURLESON Dl.
RECTs ATTENTION TO THEM.
Speech Of Vice President Roosevelt Contrasted
With Actions of President Roosevelt.
Trusts in the Saddle. and Will Ride Re.
publican Party to Destruction. says Mr..
BurIeson.

Mr.. Burleson OF Texas delivered an
interesting speech in the house ON Feb
ruary IS. The gentleman from Texas
did not adopt any formal subject for his
discourse, but the title Startling Chan
ges's' would have been comprehensive
one. In the beginning Mr. Rnrleson said ::
"Tlis is wonderful country OF ours and
startling changes are constantly taking
place" Than he proceeded to direct at
tention to one of the most remarkable
in> tances Of "changes." Mr.. Burleson
pointed out that after the election of
1900, the trust magnate imagined that
pillage the people," but in the early fall
of 1901, "a strenuous man, for reasons
satisfactory to himself, proceeded to
Minneapolis in the state of Minnesota
and there delivered himself of a speech.
In the course of this speech he used
these significant words speaking of
trusts: 'We shall find it necessary in
the future to shackled cunning as in the
past we have sha killed force II X The
vast individual and corporate fortunes,
the vast combination Of capital which
have marked the development of our in
dustrial system, create new conditions
and necessitate change from the old at
titude OF the state and nation toward
property"
These words quoted by Mr.. Burleson
were the words of Theodore Roosevelt,
then the vice president OF the United
States.
Continuing, Mr.. Burleson pointed out
that through "the happening of dep
lorable tragedy" the opportunity came
for this strenuous man to carry out the
policies to which he had committed
himself. Men who had heard or who
had read the Minneapolis speech, said
"The strenuous one will proceed to place
the gives upon cunning as in the past
shackles had been placed on force"
They said "Of course he will first care
fully overlook the entire field and select
an able lawyer for attorney general OF
the United States, lawyer whose train
ing has been such that he will be in
thorough sympathy with his praise
worthy desire. This great lawyer shall
be his strong right arm, the honest
blacksmith, as it were, to fasten the
shackles and gives that the strenuous
one had determined to place on cunning
trust barons and shrewd monopo-
lists, who, through their greed and ava
rice were distressing the people,"
Then Mr.. Burleson pointed out that
these men who based their hopes upon
the declarations of Theodore Roosevelt
as vice president were disappointed in
the action of Theodore Roosevelt as
president. Instead OF selecting a capable
blacksmith who is not only able, but
willing to shackle cunning, Mr.. Roo1e-
welt, as president, retained "a corpora
ton lawyer, a trust attorney, to play the
role of brawny blacksmith to weld the
shackles for cunning trust magnates he
had so long and &C ia thfully served. In

paper can bid intelligently on county adj
vertising, for they do not know whether
they will be allowed to print tax list
in the manner in which the Gazette
printed it or will be obliged to print it
as all the papers figured on doing when
they submitted their bids.
"Mr. Davis wants us to compare the
cost of the last tax list with those print
ed from 1891 to 1895. Well, we have the
figures for the last one printed in 1896.
1t consisted of 16h pages and the county
paid The Vidette $715.6S for publishing
it. The list printed by the Gazette made
less than ~ pages Of the same size and
Davis paid his pet 81 ,032.
"Mr. Davis intimates that The Vidette
has presented large number of bills
which the board was compelled to reduce
from 25 to so per cent. This is not ex.
actly falsehood but it is one of those
statements, half true and half lie, which
the poet tells us is ever the blacklist of
lies 1t is true that the board has cut
down several bills Of The Vidette's, but
we will make Mr.. Davis a proposition:
eff he can show single bill filed by
The Vidette that is larger than would be
charged any private individual The vi
dette will agree to do all the county
printing for one year for nothing. 1t is
now up to you, Mr.. Davis.
"Lastly, as the old time preacher
would say, Mr.. Davis intimates that The
Vidette is kept alive on county pap.
During the five years that the resent
publisher has run the paper, (lS97 to
| 1901, inclusive) he has received from the
county $1,0O2.14, an average of 500 a
year. Last year the cost of running The
| Vidette and the job Office in connection
averaged over $500 per month. One of
Mr.. Davis failings land we are all loor
erring mortals) is that he is prone to talk
about and act in matters of which he
knows nothing. During the five yeirs
above mentioned the county spent 'or
advertising, printing and stationery DER
IS, U0O-and The Vidette got less tlnn
was paid to his newspaper for one little
job of less than seven pages of adverts-
ing. (Since August, 1900, this paper
has had the contracts for doing all ne
county job work.
"And, now, brethren, in conclusion to
answer fool according to his folly, if
The Vidette without brains can pub
lish the best paper in the county, WHIT
could it do with brain at its head Ike
unto that, possessed by Geo. l.. DAYS,
chairman OF the board of county con
missioners?'

SOME PLAIN TALK
THE VDETTE USES PLAIN LAM
GUAGE TO CHAIRMAN DAVIS
In Reply to the Open Letter Of That Gentle.
man. The Biased Actions Of the Chairman
Of the Board in Letting the Printing Con.
tract Fully Exposed.

The following is The Vidette's reply:
"The above letter was received too late
for the last issue of The Vidette and as
Mr.. ravis was informed at the time, APP
pears this week. 1t is not necessary to
make very extended reply to Mr..
Davis. His abuse of The Vidette and an
attempt to shift the consequences of his
acts onto other shoulders are character
istics of him but are hardly answers to
the charges that have been made. The
Vidette will review Mr.. Davis letter as
briefly as possible.
Gin the first place we charge Mr..
Davis with the responsibility OF the
printing Job because he was the member
of the board who handled the matter,
and he alone. 1t is we'll known that
when matter OF this kind comes up it
is usually one member OF the board who
investigates and reports and the board
acts on his report. Davis cannot dodge
this matter now.
ale says now that The Vidette's bid
the contract was let he said it was given
to the Gazette because that papers bid
was considered the lowest.
"Who was the party to tell the COM
missioners whether or not The Nidette's
bid was legal? The prosecuting attorney
is usually considered the legal adviser of
the board and he says that the board had
no right to take into consideration the
restriction of ten cents description
placed on the payment OF the tax list.
That, he says, is matter which should
have been written in the contract after
the contract was awarded.
''Ii Davis was working in the interest OF
the county he was just as much inter-
ested as the papers that brought suit to
find out which bid was the lowest. His
action in hiring another attorney to assist
the county attorney and his announce
ment that the judgment of the superior
court would not be accepted if it went
against him show plainly that it was the
interest of his paper and not that of the
county that he was looking out for. The
law in regard to the letting OF printing
contracts is just the same as it has been
for years and up to this year no bid has
ever been made except by the inch.
'Mr. Davis thinks The Vidette lacked
courage to take the case to the supreme
court. He knows that the only reason
which prevented an appeal is the fac
that by the time the case was through
the supreme court the printing woulC
be thing OF the past and The Vidett'
could have recovered nothing.
''Mr. Davis also thinks The Vidett'
lacked nerve to enjoin the issuing of /;
warrant for the payment OF the worl
which the Gazette did not do. Mr.. Davis
it takes money and not nerve to go int
court. The Nidette was offered dona
tons enough to pay the cost severa
times of testing the matter but ate
consulting the HERALD, which also fel
aggrieved, decided that it was not bes
that the papers should appear in court il
the matter again. As it stands now a
long as Geo. Davis is on tie board NJ

ercises beftting the character of such
a man as our late President. He was
a man who took great interest in the

cries for the children, and his eyes
We're ever watchful for an opportunity
