Negroes and Atlantic.

Atlantic found out something of its
own opinion of negroes the other day
when the Mason x Downs Jubilee
singers, who are now singing there at
the Chautauqua came to town and tried
to get board. The Park and Pullman
hotels absolutely refused to take them
in and then the dollar a day houses
followed suit. When they called in
the boarding houses they were told
"all the rooms occupied" There are
nine singers in the company, five men
and four women. They are profession
al singers, are well educated, three of
them being graduates of Fisk Univer-
sity, Nashville, Tenn, and two hold
ing diplomas from Central Tennessee
College, Knoxville. The others are
high school graduates. They are ex-
perienced in travel, have full purses,
are as well behaved as people general
ly, but Atlantic's hotels and boarding
houses were shut against them and it
was with difficulty they found a place
to stop in the city. The hotel men
there said they only acted thus because
the public, with whom they deal, de-
manded such action. The Telegraph,
from whose account we CLEAN these
statements says"This is queer, queer
world. 1t is not as civilized world
as some people think it isl
Is sentiment in the north changing
on the negro question? This looks a
little like it. But we contend Attain
tic is not representative in that par
ticular of Iowa towns generally.

Letter From II. W. Hanna.
Lawton, OKLA, August Bird 1909

Lawton, Okla, August Bird 1908.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,
In my last it was stated that wheat
and oats harvest had commenced.
While the Yield was not large, posi-
bly, not over ten or fifteen bushels per
acre OF wheat, the quality is good,
with price of 5Scts. per bushel. Since
about the middle of June we have
been without rain, with hot DAYS and
cool nights. The corn and cotton show
the effect of the drouth and will be
materially injured unless rain comes
soon. Land values are holding up
well, while just at this time but little
is changing hands. Those that are
selling are receiving good prices.
Lawton is making preparations to
observe its second anniversary in a
proper manner on the 9th. With spec
ial trains and reduced rates large
attendance is expected. Among the
many attractions band of one thous-
and Commanche and Apache Indians
will give a parade, accompanied with
shawl races participated in by the
Bucks and Squaws. Indian horse
races will be plentiful and If Cloughly
and Netf were here they might learn
something from the dusky red men
about how races are pulled off in this
the far south west.
This country is ringer for sensa-
tions and gratis. The early part of
last week an Indian mummy was found
in cave in the Wichitas. This ap-
peared to be genuine, it being wrapped
in several Navajo blankets, well pre-
served, with provisions and money
enough to pay ferriage across the
river to the happy hunting grounds.
A few days afterwards it was reported
that petrified man had been found
near Craterville. A number of us
'tender feet" were induced to visit
and look upon the great Wichita
wonder. We saw it, also the tomb it
had occupied for countless ages. The
knowing ones said that it belonged to
some pre- historic race, the unadvised
for cycle or more of not over thirty
| days. 1t proved to be neither petri-
fed flesh or bone but a very good i'm
age in the shape of man made out OF
plaster paris and cement. 1t is now
one of the attractions at the Hobart
| street fair. Jim Hunter will no doubt
view the remains and write to his Au-
dubon friends about the great natural
curiosity.
The mining proposition is still in a
very chaotic state. Great finds are
reported almost daily and as often
denied. Assayers differ widely, some
reporting as high as $1,000, gold pei
ton, while others from the same place
say they only find a trace. Who is
right only those on the inside know
and some of those are much in doubt
Today excitement runs high over re.
| ported discoveries on some claims be.

Fabulous finds are reported, going
to the extent of being the richest mines

The Leopard's Spots.

The extensive discussion of the
| lynching of the negroes by mobs which
is passing over the country just now
adds interest to a book published
about year ago called "The Loop
ards Spots written by Thomas Dix
on Jr. 1t is one, of the books of the
day, one of those you ought to
read if you are making the race to
keep up with current literature. 1t
shows the attitude of the radicals of
the south toward the negro.
The Leopard's Spots is written from
the southern view point. The author
is saturated in southern thought. He
seems to write the book for the appro-
baton of southern society and has
disregard for northern ideals and
beliefs. However, it is refreshing
sometimes to find opinions bluntly
and plainly stated even If you do not
agree with all of them.
The author starts his story at the
time of the close OF the rebellion and
makes it historical sketch showing,
as he sees it through his glasses, how
the south was Inundated and. tramp
led upon in reconstruction times, how
the negroes and carpet baggers OBJ
tanned power and how they misused it
and how they were overthrow by the
White Caps and the klu kluX Klans,
the latter organizations being fully
indicated. The story, a romance of
interest, extends to last year, and in
cidentally deals with the recent
phases and politics of society there
there, especially the lynching of the
negroes. We infer the author favors
lynching. One of the heroes of the
story Is made to oppose negro indust-
rial education for "if the negro is
made master of the industries of the
south he will become master of the
south" This idea is repeatedly taught
that ''you cannot build in democracy
nation inside nation of two antag-
onistic races. The future American
must be an Anglo-Saxon or Mulat-
to-. Zone drop of African blood
makes a negro,n is a favorite
thought. The contention is made that
the negro, If he has equal political
rights must necessarily have equal
social rights and that would mean a
| right to enter the homes of the white
people and marry the white daughters.
Those of our readers who have fol-
lowed the writings of the inimAtable
Nasty thirty or more years ago may
remember he commended that there
ought to be law against marrying
negroes, as he was very much afraid
he would marry one. He knew he
ought not to but he loved the negroes
so he was afraid always that he would
marry one.N
The author of the book arrives at
the conclusion, that 'the negro must
ultimately leave this continent.
The book contains many things that
CRATE upon the feelings and enrage the
sensibilities of northern man. Even
our heroes are maligned. Charles
Sumner is called crack-brained and
Thaddens Stevens is called an aaar-
chist. Many historical statements are
made which do not agree with the UNI
Outstanding loyal people have OF
those times but after all the book
couragely grapples with what is per-
haps the most dangerous problem con
fronting the American republic today,
what to do with the negro. In the
mind of the author there is evidently
for the negro nowhere to stand but
off

Bernard Murphy, in defeat, is about
as big as in victory. His career, con-
tanning lots of success, also has had
about an equal number of defeats.
Ten years ago this coming winter he
was defeated for state printer after a
memorable contest i'm the legislature.
He bided his time and six years after
he easily won. Four years ago he
was defeated for Grand Chancellor of
the Knights of Pythias after a state
wide fight. The next year he walked
off with the honor. So this defeat on
last week for Supreme Representative,
big fight though it was, and much as it
| appeared to mean, was no new sensa-
I tion to Murphy. He knows how the
| dregs of the cup of defeat taste. But
he is the kind of fellow who is con-
stantly turning the defeat of today in
to victory for tomorrow. He can
see little ways ahead. There are
men who are so embittered by defeat
that they ruin their prospects for the
| future after defeat. They malign their
enemies, find fault with even their
| friends and kick against the r-sult oil
the convention or election that defeat
ed them. But not so with Murphy.
Among his many other qualities he is
a philosopher. BY his conduct his
defeat serves as a stepping stone to
his success next time.

The Death Penalty.

A little thing sometimes results in
death. Thus scratch, insignificant
cuts or puny boils have paid the death
penalty. 1t is wise to have Bucklen's
Arnica Salve ever handy. It's the
best salve on earth and will prevent
fatility, when burns, sores, ulcers and
piles threaten. Only 25c at the A. H..

Jerry Sullivan is in favor of an ag-
gressive campaign in Iowa this fall
and says he has an offer of the Cook
county marching clubwhich volunteers
to come to Iowa and make the rounds
with him. We should think the DEM
ocratic masses would feel compliment
ed with the thugs and crooks OfClarke
street furnishing enthusiasm" for
the cause in the agricultural portions
of the west. Once your uncle Horace
Boies was visited by the notorious
Mike Mcdonald and a gang ofrowdies
from Chicago and the way the good
people of Iowa resented the invasion
at the polls is not yet forgotten. Jerry
Sullivan had better cut out the Chica-
go gang and make a decent campaign
alone; he will feel better when he is
called to view with emotion the pond
erous majority given to Albert S.
Cummins. Carroll Herald.

President Roosevelt's letter to Gov.
Durbin, of Indiana, on lynching, is
timely and is meeting favorable COM
ment among the best people every
where. President Roosevelt can be
depended on to speak out in every
crisis. His utterances have the adj
vantage of being to the point and so
plain that they are not misunderstood.
He doesn't wait to see what is popular
but says what he thinks is right, and
says it vigorously. This particular
letter has in it the ring of the good
citizen and patriot.
