she'll One of the issues because of
which this battle was fought was the
negro. Sunday at the same place the
inhabitants burned one just to show
that they had not forgotten.
The race question is admittedly a
serious one beyond the Mason and Dix
on's line but whatever the provoca-
ton, there is no excuse for the return
to savagery by people who live in an
enlightened country.
People who can burn negro or
even dumb animal are capable of
worse things. 1t is indicative of a
stunted moral growth and a dwarfed
sense of justice whether such outrages
occur in Mississippi, Kansas or Colo

THE APPEAL TO CLASS. PREJU,
DICE.

The astounding address of Mother
Jones at Hiteman, in which she made
an impassioned appeal for the election
of the democratic candidate for con-
gress in this district, indicates that an
effort will be made to conduct the
congressional campaign along the line
of arousing class prejudice, as between
the. laborer and The capitalist. This
should not be.
In one portion Of her address Moth
er Jones said:
"Now we know that tie operators
do no work, and that they do not ask
us to do anything for them in charity.
Then, they must steal. But from
whom? Themselves. No. Point me
to the palaces in the cities. Who built
them9 The workers. Who live there?
The parasites and idlers. Then point
me to the alleys and tell me who live
there The workers who make the
wealth of the world
The effort so far as these
questions are concerned should

Andrew Carnegie, in his recently
published book, The Empire of Bust
ness" we'll says:
More knowledge on the part Of cap
| ital of the good qualities of those thai
serve it, and some knowledge upon the
part of the men of the economic law:
which hold the capitalist In their re-
4 lentless grasp, would obviate most o
4 the difficulties which arise between
these two forces, which are indispen
4 SADLY necessary to each other"
Intelligent discussion of these ques
tions cannot fail to do good, but an ap.
peal to prejudice, and INSTRUMENTATION
of capitalists as Robbers" "Canni'
balist Captains Of Industry" Para
sites and Idlers," and similar term
! can not fail to do much harm and hin

MOTHER JONES AND THE DEMO.
CRATIC CONGRESSIONAL
CAMPAIGN.

The democratic congressional CAM
paign in the sixth district was opened
at Hiteman Saturday after
noon by Mother Jones. The
meeting was not advertis--
ed as such; it was in fact supposed to
be a sort of postponed Labor day
celebration. But it was addressed by
Mother Jones, who made an impas--
stoned appeal for the election of the
democratic candidate for congress,
who was himself not only present at
the meeting, but was it's chairman.
The utterances of Mother Jones on
this occasion cannot be regarded in
any other light than as a statement of
principles on which the sixth district
democratic candidate proposes to go
before the public and ask for their
votes. A careful and accurate report
was made of Mother Jones speech
and has been given to cur readers.
What then is it that the voter is ask
to vote for the democratic candidate
for congress in this district? He is
asked to subscribe to doctrine of de
struction and ruin. Said this speaker
appealing for votes for the democratic
candidate for congress: They whom
the gods destroy, they first make mad
WE PROPOSE TO DESTROY TIKI
CAPITALISTS, and we propose Il

could have comprehended the full i'm
port of such declaration.

one and inseparable. The one is the
foundation on which the prosperity of
the United States at home and
abroad has been built up during the
past fifty years. The other but the
practical Interpretation of these old
ideas and their fearless adaptation to
the present day commercial and indus
trial conditions.
President Roosevelt has placed be-
fore the voters of the country the is
sues for the coming campaign in a
clear cut, specific and comprehensive
declaration.
The trusts must be controlled. Fair
and legitimate business enterprises
whether conducted by the private in
dividual, or the corporate company,
must not be hampered in their opera
lions and means must be devised for
the elimination of the illegal combina-
lions of capital from the industrial
affairs of this nation.
Reciprocity, as not only republi-
can principle, but as characteristic
American. business proposition, must
be used as a means for extending and
charging the commerce of the United
States and providing markets for the
surplus productions of our varied in
dustries.
President Roosevelt also declares
that the tariff should be considered as
an entirely separate proposition. The
adjustment of the tariff schedules to
the present conditions may make
necessary some changes, but these
must be made to subserve the varied
interests of the country upon strictly
business basis, founded upon the prin
ciple of protection.
These are the leading issues. They
are propositions which look to the
promoting of the interests of no partic
ular class of citizens but are for the
common good OF all.
These are the things for which the
. present ADMINS CFaLlOu SldHQS. his IL
the policy which President Roosevelt
is pledged to support. If President
Roosevelt's fearless and unfalterine
administration of the laws, for secur
ing justice to all and for the preserva
ton of the rights of the American citi
zens, stands for anything these prin
ciples must be supported by the bal
lot. He must have a congress bach
of him to accomplish these ends. The
voters of the sixth congressional dis
trict believe in President Roosevelt
and his ideas on the trusts and com
mercial reciprocity. They will see to /
that Hon. John F. Lacey is returned tt
the councils of the nation as congress
man from Iowa, to sustain and assis
the President in putting these princl
pies into effect.
These questions are momentous
They are vital to the interests OF tn
country. Upon the decision OF tn
voters must prosperity of the peopl
be made or wrecked.

MAJOR LAcEYs RECORD,

The record of Major Lacey in con-
gress with reference to legislation in
the interest of the miner is so clear,
strong and salutary that it can not be
overlooked by the most jealous par
tisan. Every recent law on the federal
statute books in the interest and for the
welfare of the coal miner was intro
duced in congress and put through by
Major Lacey. President Mitchell,
himself, the president of the national
miners organization wired Major La
cey as follows, at the time of the pas
sage by congress Of the territorial
mining bill:
Wilkesbarre Fa., June 26.
Hon. John F. Lacey, House of Rep
| resentatives, Washington, D. c.: Mes
sage received | note with gi'atifica-
| tion the passage of territorial mining
bill with shot firing clause. Please &C
cept thanks for your efforts in behalf
| of this measure. John Mitchell.
Major Lacey was enabled to accom-
plish this because he has the welfare
of the coal miner truly at heart, and
every miner in the sixth district
knows that this is true, and because
he was a republican in republican
congress and was enabled to secure
| legislation which would have been ut
terly impossible on the part of con-
gresham belonging to the minority
party. These conditions will continue.

there is q combination In the United

MAJOR MAHoN's IDEA.
(OskaIoosa Herald.)

Some one suggested to Major Ma
non, of Ottumwa, who was at the
Downing hotel last night, that the
trusts were robbing the people. "That
may be-" replied the Major, but in
view of the prosperity apparent on all
hands, would rather a fellow would
rob me of five dollars than to put me
in the way of losing one hundred"

BURTON IS HERE.
Kansas Senator Looks Better
After Hawaiian Trip.

Senator J. R. Burton arrived in Topeka
today on his return from Chicago where
he went Saturday. He is looking extreme
" well and his ocean voyage to Hawaii
apparently agreed with him. He will re-
main in Topeka over tomorrow night, at
which time he will open his campaign in
Kansas with a speech in Lukens opera
house in North Topeka
I'VE had a delightful trip, said Senator
Burton in the Copeland lobby at noon to-
day, talking between handshakes with the
politicians gathered there. I'VE were gone
two months and three days and did not
encounter unpleasant day during the
entire time Those islands are delightful
in their climate and delightful in their
people, but just now the conditions there
are the reverse from what they are here.
While we are enjoying abundant prosreri-
ty they are suffering from commercial de-
PRESTON caused partly 1 think, as the
result of a boom which the islands had
soon after annexation, and partly because
of the low price of sugar and the high
price of labor OF course the islands are
now part of this country and labor
laws are in force there, consequently the
cheap Chinese labor is excluded and the
Japanese have taken advantage of it to
put up the price on their labor. If cheap
labor could be imported there the islands
could compete with any country in the
production of sugar
| I'VE investigated conditions very fully
there, but of course it would not be prop
er for me to speak of our findings until
the committee makes it's report to the sem
ate We will meet in Washington early
| in November and formulate our report.
Then it will be submitted to the members
of the commission who did not make the
trip, and If it meets their approval will be
presented to the senate.'
DO you want to say anything about
state politics?" Senator Burton was asked.
sNo there is no question about that now
except as to the size of the majority We
would have a big majority now and we
/ will make it bigger before election. Just
make that as strong you please"
While Senator Burton talking a
number Of politicians had shaken hands
with him, and at this point Chairman
Slower. of the Republican speakers bureau,
came up.
ct want to see you right after dinner"
said Senator Burton to him, land find
out where you are going to send me-"
1--WE are going to start you in here, over
in North Topeka replied Slower.
"When?"
Tomorrow night"
That's pretty short time to prepare
speech said Senator Burton
THAT doesn't make any difference" said
Slower
