An Independent Press.

Is there an independent press? When
the hearts of Americans were throb-
bling with the sentiment that prompt
ed the utterance of Patrick Henry
"Give me liberty or give me death!''-
there was an independent press and
an independence loving people. The
press was safeguarding liberty as a
duty. Preachers and lawyers were
patriots, excepta minority who feared
the people.
BY degrees the press has lost its IL:
dependence. BY degrees the politics
of the nation have been surrendered
to the money changers and trusts who
by degrees, have corrupted the press
and professional politicians. When
patriotism dies; independence ceases
to be a controlling force. 4n the Ian
guage of the street, sit daes NOT pay.'

we're also urged to see their congress

1t was a sentiment Of the American

its duty was TO warn against all op-
pressors OF the people; that 1t musl

Of coaxing competitors seem capable
of winning any Of them away. And
no wonder. There are many reasons
why the Pioneer Press has the largest
circulation Of any morning newspaper
published in the Northwest. 1t has
the virtues of age and none of the
vices Of youth. It's editorials eminate
from master minds; i,s new features
are comprehensive, accurate and crm-
plete, its market page Is the standard
authority throughout this section Of
the country, and those who direct the
interests Of the paper have devoted
their lives to the study Ut the politl-

Yes, But How About Those Whom the
Trusts "Emancipate."

Senator Hanna, competing fairly
and squarely in the open market for
the votes of the negro delegates in
the Republican Convention of 1904,
has introduced in the senate a most
interesting bill.
He suggests that the Government
of this country pay, in the first place,
q cash bonus, varying according to the
pensioners age from one hundred to
five hundred dollars, for each person,
and, in the second place, life pen
sion varying from eight dollars to
fifteen dollars per month for life to
all negroes emancipated by Abraham
Lincoln.
We have nothing to say in criti-
cism of Senator Hanna's; bill. except
that this seems rather late day for
the ex-slave pension to be inaugural
ed.
Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Hanna are
both endeavoring to secure for them
thieves the friendship and votes Of
the negro delegation in 1904. Mr..
Roosevelt appoints the negroes to
Offices. He makes one negro post
master, another collector of the port,
and he, knowingly or ignorantly, in
tensifies the danger of race antagon-
ism in the South. Mr.. Hannah's plan,
which would pay cash to the negroes,
pleasing them all at an expense of
many hundred million dollars to the
Government, seems to mediate pay
ing rather high price for negro dele.
gates In the Republican Convention.
1t seems wiser or more manly to ap.
peal to the negroes on cash basis
than to stir up race hatred by an in.
sincere display of belief in the Negroes
social equality.
We prefer Mr.. Hanna's plan to Mr..
Roosevelt's.
But we beg to offer an amendment
to Mr.. Hanna's interesting bill.
Our amendment would read about
as follows, leaving cut the legislative
lingo:
This bill will pension the coloret
men emancipated by Abraham Lin
r coin. because many Of the coloret
people so emancipated find themSelve
homeless and without means of sup
purt. This bill shall also provid pen
: sionS for the white men of a certain
f age, 'emapcipated,' that is to say
DISCHARGED, by the trusts an,
various corporations. These whit,
'emancipated' ones shall be pensionet
t by the Government, because many o
2 THEM find themselves homeless ant
! without means OF support"
We are not among these who, off
hand, accuse Mr.. Hanna of insincerit,
in his recent protestations of affection
; for workingmen. We hope he viii
consider this suggestion that he ex
tend his pension system for the EN-
ancipated negro to the discharged
white man. If the negro, aged seven
. ty, emancipatei by Lincoln, need
five hundred dollars and life pension
, then the white car conductor, age
a seventy, ''emancipated" by the CON
: pany that discharged him, also need
five hundred dollars and life per

ship put forth by Baer in behalf of
the operators of the mines, inheres
with equal force and right to every
human being. No we'll informed per-
son will undertake to question or gain
say this statement.
Then by what other authority have
the operators control of the mines,
ard for what purpose?
Primary not only the coal but all
the minerals of the earth, belong
equally in their associated capacity to
all the people, but for stipulated pur-
pcses has been given into the posses
sion of those now in control. The
trouble has come from failure to
understand the obligations that nee
essarily follow the privilege granted
AS a matter of fact the coal was never
transferred; all that was involved in
the transaction was the right to
mine and distribute the coal. 1t is
not possible for each individual to
mine coal for himself, but each one is
entitled to SO much as he requires for
his use, paying therefor the cost of
mining and transportation, and a
reasonable sur to the operator for the
capital invested. II the operators at
tempt to close down the mines on the
plea that the coal belongs to them,
the government-that is the people
have right to take possession, pay
ing the operator for his investment,
and have the public want supplied.
The obligations implied when the
operators were given control must be
fulfilled or the people, through theil
government, may take possession ant
supply the public demand.
i Ii these premises are correct thu
cost to the consumer should be onl.
, such sum as will afford REASONABLE,

invested and supervision, nothing
more, the miner for his labor in get

, to his share for delivering it where i
is needed for consumption; but neithe
| the operator, the miner or the trans
, porta tion company are entitled to an
5 compensation beyond the labor ir
+ volvt d for the coal, because neither Q
{ them ever owned it.
III 1t is a right and duty as we'll, 70
