GIVE WOLF A CHANCE.

The mayor and council admit that

BILE for the poor showing made by the
fire department at the WhitehOuse-
Crimmins fire Sunday morning; then
why do they try to make a scapegoat
of Chief Robert Wolf. who during
twelve years service in the depart

the most reliable men ever employed
by the city? He is sober, steady, hon

good apparatus before importing d
man from abroad?

There is nothing in the cTnstitu-
ton of the United States that pro-
hibits secret sessions of the senate
to consider treaties and other mat
tiers Of a confidential nature. But the
city council of Walla Walla is not the
senate of the United States by long
shot, althoug it will not be disputed
that some of its members are more
capable than some members Of the
national senate elected by railroad
Hobbies. The city charter says Of the
council, Its deliberations and pro
ceedings must be public" That set
ties it. No legal session of the coun-
ell can be held in secret. No one will
dispute the right of the seven council
men to form a mutual admiration
secret society to meet as often as they
please, but nothing they may do there
Will be regarded as the legal proceed
lngs Of the council. The people "got
their filI' of secret sessions of the
council when the telephone franchise
was passed.

ENEMIES OF INDUSTRY.

Parks has injected a new moral is
sue into the old contest between or
ganized labor and employers; just as
Pierpont Morgan has injected new
moral issue into the management Of
industrial properties.
There is no practical moral issue
which does not have its effect on the
material welfare OF the people. 1t is sd
certain as any education can be that
the present uncertain and threatening
condition of the stock market is due
both to Morgan and to Parks-or to
their methods and what of danger
those methods contain to the business
world.
Industrial activity cannot proceed
on the theory that consumers must
pay dividends on huge issues Of com
the intrinsic value of the plants on
which they are based. Competition
may be choked off for time, but the
country cannot forever be limited to
q 1O1CS IOullO1l Ny q
few men for the purpose Of paying an
income on watered stock. The Nor
ganizing of industry is morally and
economically wrong Somebody will
pay the penalty. The country has
been paying The stockholders are
beginning to pay. And in this last
act Of payment the entire business
world is being affected The moment
there is a lull in the immense actiFi-
~ of industry and commerce which
has made the past six years phenOm-
email, great volumes Of excessive stock
issues will cease to be property and
the result will be hesitation and stag
nation in many sympathetic lines of
business.
Nor can industrial activity proceed
on he Parks theory of corrupt rela-
tons between employers and the rep
resentaives Of organized labor. The
friends of Parks excuse his conduct
the employers he always looked after
the interest Of the unions This may
possibly be true Of Parks, but it could
not be true of many men who were
looking for brides. Boodlers VIII
sooner or later betray both sides.
But, that aside, the practical effect
Of the Parks victory in Kansas City is
that employers will be alarmed over
the future. No man will care to enter
upon important contracts when he sus-
poets inside and unfair and corrupt
understanding on the part of his
competitors with the authorized rep
resentatives Of labor The conse-
quence must be uneasiness, curtailed
business, lower wages and general
| trouble.
Parks and Morgan are real and no.
| imaginary enemies to business and
| to labor No excuses will make any
thing else of either. In looking for
! the causes of the slumps which have
succeeded each other in the stock
market the investigator can put down
| these two men and their imitators as
among the most potent for harm.

Negroes and Atlantic

Atlantic found out something of its
own opinion of negroes the other day
when the Mason q 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 is"
Is sentiment in the north changing
on the negro question? This looks a
little like it. But we contend Allan
tic is not representative in that par
ticular of Iowa towns generally.

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 in 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-
ton 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 result OF
the convention or election that defeat
ed them. But not so with Murphy.
Among his many other qualities he is
philosopher. BY his conduct his
defeat serves as q stepping stone to
his success next time.

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 gang rowdies
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 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.

Letter From n. w. Hanna.

Lawton, OKLA, August Bird 1903.
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 PEI
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
we'll, while just at this time but little
is changing hands. Those that are
selling are receiving good prices.
Lawton is making preparations to
observe it's second anniversary in q
proper manner on the 9th. With spec
ial trains and reduced rates a large
attendance is expected. Among the
many attractions band of one thOus-
and COmmanche and Apache Indians
will give parade, accompanied with
shawl races participated in by the
Bucks and Squaws. Indian horse
races will be plentiful and il Cloughly
and Neif 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 a cave in the Wichitas. This APP
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 ii was reported
that q 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-
fled flesh or bone but 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 per
ton, while others from the same place
say they only find 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-
longing to the Big Four Mining Co.
Fabulous finds are reported, going
to the extent of being the richest mines
in the United States. b. F.. Thomas,
former Audubon county man, is
here and feels confident of the great
richness of the Wichitas, that they
will equal Cripple Creek, he is conf
dent. Virgil Tramp left here this
morning for his home in Anadarko,
thinks he will return to Audubon in a
short time. Yours,
III. w. HANNA.

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 q 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, q 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 ademocracy
q nation inside a nation of two antag-
onistic races. The future American
must be an Anglo-Saxon or Mulat-
to-" "One drop of African blood
makes negro" is q 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 inimitable
Nasty thirty or more years ago may
remember he contended 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.
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 a 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 un-
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,

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.

pleted the final arrangements for a
