So Judge Says IN Charge to Jury
an Peonage Case.
ley TELEGRAPH TO THE rRIrUNE.I


Montgomery, Ala, July 10.-The Turner peon-
age trial ended this evening and is with
the jury. The day was taken up by the
speeches of the lawyers for the defence and Dis
trict Attorney Reese for the prosecution and
the charge 10 the jury. Judge Jones took nearly
two hours to charge the jury. He went
haustively into the facts of the case. and re-
viewed the history of peonage. He thor
oughly aroused and his earnestness impressed
every one.
Judge Jones said that the testimony of the
witnesses Helms and Dunbar could be elm
mated by the jury and they still had the undis-
puted testimony that Turner bought the three
negroes, Helms, Williams and Johnson. paying
Dunbar $40 for them. He said that Turner had
no right TO work the men in bondage, though
they had made voluntary contracts, but when
the men asked to leave Turner they broke the
voluntary contract and they afterward
held involuntarily.
There is much doubt to the conviction Of
Turner There are street rumors TO the effect
that The jury polled eight for acquittal to four
for conviction.

WEST VIRGINIA

What the corrupt and imperialist
brand of republicanism will do for a
state is exemplified in West Virginia
since Elkins by the corrupt use of the
millions that he stole elsewhere got
control OF it. There is a condition Of
human slavery and forced labor there
that is more inhuman and cruel than
AFRICAN slavery ever was in anv state
OF this union. The victims are most
ly foreigners, but they are held to la
Dor in camps surrounded day and
night by armed guards, they are
beaten with clubs, butts of guns and
iron rods and held in absolute and
complete slavery with the KNOWLEDGE
of the republican authorities of the
state.
There is no longer any more of free
government in West Virginia than
there is in the darkest corners of the
dominions of the czar of Russia. IF
the doctrines of imperialism and the
worship of Mammon is to continue in
this country, state after state will be
reduced to the conditions now existing
In West Virginia.
West Virginia is full of iron, coal
and other valuable minerals and the
building of railroads to make this
natural wealth available is a neces-
sity. The demand for labor is enor
nous, but the greed and cruelty of the
Elkins style of capitalists has made
the reputation of the state such that
The independent., 1903-06-18

laborers will not go there of their
own free will il they know the facts.
The resort has therefore been made
to foreign labor, especially to that OF
Italians. These men not being able
to speak English are lured into the
state by false representations AMI
when once they are in the Lonely
mountain camps surrounded by armed
guards they are made slaves of the
contractors and capitalists. Ii they
try to escape they are followed by
armed men, captured, tied with ropes
iI gangs and driven back to the
camps by force. The republican gov
ernor of the state does not deny the
facts, but says that he is helpless.
This state of republican slavery in
West Virginia has attracted the atten-
ton of philanthropists in some of the
eastern states and societies are be-
ing formed to take measures to abol-
ish it. The predictions of The Inde-
pendent concerning the degenerating
effect Of Imperialism are coming true
every day. If this government had
dealt with the Filipinos in the spir-
it of the Declaration of independence,
there would have such wave of the
love of liberty swept over this land
and the whole world that deeds like
those perpetrated in West Virginia
would have been impossible.

THE INDEPENDENTS IDEAL

The ideal that The Independent has
always attempted to follow j. that the
man who constantly makes protest
against injustice, though poverty is
the result of independence and loyalty
TO conscience, and proudly refuses to
take advantage Of opportunities to
steal even though the stealing be in
accordance and protected by law, who
sCorns every tempting bribe and pre-
fers a clean conscience to anything
that money can buy, is the hero, the
man who should be respected and
honored. In these days of Mammon
worship such course is denounced by
those who are called successful" but
to the advocacy of such a standard for
the heroes of mankind The Indepen-
dent will continue to devote it's ener-
gies. For twenty years the editor Of
The Independent has often been told
by his closest friends that his ideas
were impracticable or foolish, but in
these days of sorrow he finds comfort
i'll the thought that during all these
years he has tried to follow his ideal
He believes that the great success of
this paper has resulted from the fact
that it's readers believe that it cannot
be bought or it's opinions affected in
the slightest degree by money. What
greater success" could any man or
any publication attain than that?
