A start has been made at lay
ing the roofing of the new court
house. As an example Of fine
architecture the building is in
no manner Disappointing. It is
certainly going to be a most
handsome structure. That it is
going to be a most expensive one
and exceed greatly the amount
first contemplated can not be de-
MED. But the determination on
the part of the board OF county
commissioners to have the build
ing first class in every particular,
will meet the approval Of a ma
jority of the tax payers Of the
county. As the building is to be
strictly fire proof it must endure
Tor many generations. The pen
ny-wise policy of using the cheap
and the shabby in furnishing and
finishing the building, thus
marring its elegance, wonld not
be approved by the people gener-
ally. While the job is being
done, and since it is to be done
but once, it should be done we'll.
If there is any county in the state
that can afford to have a splendid

0URTMARTIAL DEMANDED
ARMY AND NAVY REGISTER
WANTS EITHER GENERAL
WOOD ON LIEUTENANT RUNCIE
ARRESTED.

Washington, Dec. 19.-The Army
and Navy Register to-day prints the
following editorial under the head "A
Case for Court:
The secretary Of war should order with
out further delay a court-martial for the
trial Of General Leonard Wood, u. S. A.,
or that of Lieutenant James E. Runcie,
U. $. A, retired.
Such an action is fully justified, and,
indeed. rendered absolutely necessary by
the situation in the senate military COM
mittee, where some secret sessions have
been devoted to determining the eligibility
of General Wood to major generalcy in
the army The methods of the committee
are such as to keep from public knowledge
much Of what is transpiring in the form
OF testimony against, or-mainly-for,
General Wood; but enough is known Of
the proceedings to convince an unpreju-
diced mind that military inquiry in the
shape of a court martial should be insti-
tuted, not only to the end that justice
may be wrought to individuals, but that
the service reputation may be protected.
There has been an exchange of allie
cations and denials between army officers,
and some one is guilty Of something,
either culpable misdeed or deliberate and
malicious lying. There is a way to end
this woeful spectacle, the worst features
Of which leak out from the committee
room to this or that advantage. The army
suffers by this sort of attack to say
nothing of the name and record Of officers
themselves.
There exists one Of two conditions

which, If they exist. make him a At sub

may be, must be dealt with severely. II

TO SOLVE RACE PROBLEM
GOVERNOR OF NORTH CAROLINA
DESCRIBES THE METHOD
LEAVE HIM SEVERELY ALONE.

Baltimore, Dec. 19.-"I am proud
of my state because there we have
solved the negro problem, which re-
Gently seems to have given you some
trouble" said Governor Charles E.
Aycock of North Carolina at the first
annual dinner Of the North Carolina
society Of Baltimore last night.
II am inclined to give to you our
solution Of this problem" he added.
1T is first, as far as possible, under
the fifteenth amendment to disfran-
chise him; after that let him alone:
quit writing about him; quit talking
about him; quit making him the white
mans burden, let him tote his own
skillet; quit coddling him; let him
learn that no man, no race, ever got
anything worth the having that he
did not himself earn: that character
is the outcome Of sacrifice and worth
is the result Of toll; that. whatever
his future may be, the present has
in it for him nothing that is not the
product of industry, thrift, obedience
to law and uprightness; that he can
not, by reason Of council or league,
accomplish anything; that he can do
much work; that violence may crafty
his passions, but it cannot accom-
plish his ambition; that he may eat
rarely Of the cooking of equality, but
he will always find, when he does,
that there is death in the pot.
Let the negro learn once for all
that there is unending separation OF
the races; that the two peoples may
develop side by side to the fullest,
but that they cannot intermingle. Let
the white man determine that no man
shall by act, or thought, or speech
cross this line, and the race problem
will be at an end"

LAND FRAUDS DETECTED
FORMER SURVEYOR GENERAL
OF CALIFORNIA CHARGED
WITH BRIBERY TO HINDER
PROSECUTION.

Washington, Dec. 19.-Secretary
Hitchcock's campaign against fraudu-
lent transactions under cover of the
public land laws resulted in the ar
rest yesterday of John A. Benson of
San Francisco, formerly United States
surveyor general for California, who
has been conducting real estate opera
uons on large scale for some years.
It Is alleged that Benson obtained
advance information as to the land
that would be wanted by the govern
ment for forest reserves and that by
means of fraudulent entries, or by
purchase, immense tracts of such lands
were obtained and afterward ex-
changed for valuable public lands
The information alleges that frauds
were perpetrated as to at least 100,-
900 acres of land in Washington, Ore
gon. California, Montana, Idaho, Ne
vada, Utah, Wyoming, Colorado North
Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska,
Kansas, Minnesota, Arizona and New
Mexico.
1t is alleged in the warrant that
Benson paid $500 to Woodward D.
Harlan, formerly chief of the special
service division of the general land
office and now a clerk in that office,
on March Is, 1903, to extract informa-
ton regarding an investigation Of his
operations by the land office.
The information on which the war
rant was issued said that Mr.. Harlan,
in his capacity as chief Of the special
service division Of the general land
office, had charge Of the investiga-
ton of the land frauds, sending out
special agents in suspected cases Of
fraud and receiving the reports of such
agents on the cases, and that Benson
had paid to him the sum of $500 in
return for being allowed to examine
the reports Of the special agents in
his own case.
Arthur B. Pugh, who has been the
special attorney for the interior de-
partment on the land frauds, and
Oliver Pagin, assistant attorney Of the
department of justice, in asking for
a large bail bond for Benson, said
that he had been guilty Of bribery
during his present visit to Washing
ton since last Monday in the interior
department itself, Notwithstanding
that the clerk was aware that his al
legged connections with the land frauds
were fully known to the department.
The statement was made that Secre-
tary Hitchcock was so incensed at this
fragrant conduct that he gave orders
to have Benson arrested at once, al
tho it had not been planned to appre-
hend him at present.
The preliminary hearing was fixed
Cor Dec. 30.

refused to permit the blacks to attend
the white school and a suit for man.

and has been reversed and remanded d
upon various points each time. The
present trial is the seventh time that
the suit has been tried The attorney
for the blacks filed notice Of an appeal
to the supreme court Of the state
and it is said that the negroes of Chi
cago and other places are furnishing
funds to make test case.
