MOB LAW IN COLORADO,

The so-caled Law and Order League
of Cripple Creek, Victor and other Col
OradO mining towns is still engaged in
the unlawful work of deporting Ameri-
can citizens from the state because of
their being members of a labor union.
The republican governor and the men
he mas placed in charge of the state
militia have openly encouraged this
plan of getting rid of political oppo-
nents in the hope of making the state
solid for the republican party in the
November election. However, there
are many fair-mnded republicans in
the United States who condemn the
outrageous wrongs upon American cit
liens committed by the Law and Order
League and signs are multiplying that
even III Colorado thousands of repub-
iicans are becoming aroused to the
great injustice done many of their

WHO MAKES THE coTroNp

The Advertiser a few days ago took
 issue with some writer who contended
 that the world would go without cotton
 if the negro labor was taken from the
 South. While admitting that a great deal
 of cotton was made by negro labor in
 some portions of the cotton belt, yet We
 demonstrated that white labor supplied
 very large part of the State. President
 J. c. Hardy of the Mississippi A. and
 M. College, in 8 letter published in The
 Manufacturers Record, gives some good
 evidence on this matter. He gays:
 Lowndes County, with three negroes to
 one white man, having 21972 blacks and
 7,12l whites, requires 3.l5 acres to make a
 bale or cotton, while Jones County, with
 three whites to one negro, having 13,.16
 whites and 4670 blacks, requires 19S acres to make bale. The farm lands of Jones County are valued, as found in the cen
 sus report, at $2.S5 an acre, and the farm lands ot LowndeS County are valued at $y.3S an acre. Yet the poor lands of Jones County, under intelligent cultivation pro- duced nearly twice as much per acre as
 the rich lands of Lowndes County when cultivated mostly by negroes. NoxuDee white, having 26,l46 blacks and 4,o9J whites, requires $50 acres to make a bale of cotton, while Union County, with three
 whites to one black, having 12,3SO whites and 4,142 blacks, requires only 2.56 acres to make a bale The farm lands of NoX-
 ubee County are valued at $7.12, and the lands of Union are valued at $4.Sl. Hinds | County with three negroes to one white man, having 39,521 blacks and 13037 whites, requires 2.5O acres to make bale, while | Perry County, with more than two whites | to one negro, requires only 1.96 acres to | make a bale. The farm lands of Hinds | are valued at three times as much as are | those Of Perry.
 The land worked by negroes in Alabama | is much richer than the kind of land cul-
 tivated exclusively by white labor, yet the intelligent white man on less fertile soil produces far better results.

NOT OUT, SAYS ADDIcKs. Declares Les Still Rich And in Del
 aware Politics,

Washington special to Baltimore Sun. J. Edward Addicks, who was in Balti- more today, on his way to Washington, called up a Wilmington newspaper by telephone and discussed the article print ed on Sunday and Monday concerning him. He said:
 'I own property in Delaware which think could safely be valued at half a million dollars. have never been worth more financially than I am today and have never been in better financial con dition. Regarding the political nature of the article 1 care nothing. They charge Layton and Alice with treachery. Of course, l have no doubt they will make answer for themselves to this. but I do wish to say that they enjoy my absolute confidence, as they always have done."
 Mir. Addicks was asked whether he was really out of Delaware politics, as has been repeatedly asserted.
 Indeed 1 am not! Indeed I am not"' he replied. "I am in the fight just the same as ever I was, and I propose to put up the strongest battle of my life at the next election in Delaware"
 He spoke lightly of the suit brought against him by ReceiYer Pepper, of the Bay State Gas Company.

ROOSEVELT SENTIMENTAL.
Is Strong in Boston-Hanna's Boom
 not Considered,

Boston special to New York Herald
 Sentiment among Boston business and
 professional men is very strongly in favor
 of MT. Roosevelt for renomination. The Hanna boom has not yet been taken seri-
 ously here and q canvass of the financial
 and business districts today failed to dis
 cover more than half dozen prominent Republicans who favor as candidate the Senator from Ohio.
 Among officials of the various banking and commercial houses visited MT Roose- welt has fully ninety-five per cent more supporters than Senator Hanna. While not denying that Mir. Hanna pos
 sesseS many excellent qualifications. the
 conservative Boston men believe Presi-
 dent Roosevelt to be just as "safe'' as
 MT. Hanna, and argue that he has been
 honest. able and fearless during his term as President. The few who declare them | selves in favor of MT. Hanna lay stress
 on the declaration that his policy is safer
 for the great manufacturing interests than that of MT. Roosevelt.
 In the office of Hornblower & Weeks in | the Exchange Building. a man who spoke for the firm, said-"Every one in the of l flee is for Mir. Roosevelt. 1t will take
 remarkably strong man to defeat him and I do not believe that that man is Senator Hanna"

of Senatorial Race.
 Baltimore speclaI to New York Herald.
 The pledges obtained by Rayner from the city delegation, coupled with the East ern Shore opposition. blocked the smith people, who found the vote on the West. ern Shore so divided that union Of forces seemed hopeless. The organization leaders might have succeeded in forcing Smiths nomination. but German feared the effect on the Presidential election. Finding, therefore, that they could not make Smith the candidate, 1t was de- cided to select a man who was the su- perior of all others named for the honor.
 Never before, except possibly when his own election was it stake, has Senator German been more deeply interested. he has been the directing head of the Or- ganizati0n forces since the contest began, working presumably Tn the interest of for mef Governor Smith. He has consulted every county leader. and Is thoroughly informed as to conditions. Several weeks ago he had partly concluded that the election of Smith was in doubt. but he continued, hoping to bring about change of feeling. Outside influence, however, to- gether with the opposition of disappoint- ed office seekers, broke up the Senator $ plans. and he finally was compelled to consent to a compromise.
 The preliminary arrangements were made at Washington Sunday afternoon when conference was held, which was attended by Senator German. Freeman Rasin, the city leader; Representative J. Fred Talbot; former Representative Joshua Miles, former Governor F.. E. Jackson, and State Senator A. P. Cor man. Jr: Former Governor smith was not invited to what was to be his burial ser vice. MT. Carter is warm personal friend of Senator German and stanch organization man.

PAY YOUR Por.1. TAx

The poll tax leads to a great many ques- tions. but after all the whole matter IS summed up in the fact that all poll tax due for l9a-o2 and 1903 must be paid CT those who fail to do so will not be al- lowed to voteA If you pay for the last year due and leave the other two unpald it does you no good. If you have passed the poll tax age, but at the time of reach ing 45 you were in default for poll tax for one or more years. you can not vote until it is paid in full. Remember that the years in question are 1901. 1902 and 1903 Registration is of no avail if you are delinquent as to poll tax. It is well, too. for young men who have reached tho voting age. and had no opportunity to register to know they must pay their poll tax if they expect to vote next November. They will have the opportunity of registering in July. but poll tax must be paid on or before February 1. Do not disfranchise yourself.

THE QUALITY OF MERCY.

The Omaha World-Herald of last Sun day gives details of three recent instances of the partiaiity of justice as dealt out by our courts. Briefly stated, "a young boy without friends or relatives, poor and put of employment" as the paper states, broke into the postofiice and stole $0.sO in stamps and pennies, for which he was sentenced to two years in prison. A postal clerk at Lincoln took $2.20 from q Registered letter and was sentenced to Imprisonment for one year. In Omaha a stamp clerk pleaded guilty to stealing fz022 and he was let off with fine of Bz.00o. which his friends paid.
 These are the bare facts. The cases all tried in the Federal Court at Omaha There were no extenuating circumstances, but there were some pleas entered in the rase of Oleson, the man who stole the large amount. One of the pleas was that he is a man of good family. with plenty of friends who would pay his fine and keep him out of prison. Another plea was that he had one child who was de- pendent on him for support. We'll, the plea was made for Dittendorf, the man who stole the $2.25. that he had a wife and seven children depending on him for support, all of the children under 15 years of age. The poor boy who got S99O had no family and no one to plead for him. The Judge, we are told, was touched by the plea of Oleson and his one child, and let him off with a fine. It Is also fair to assume that the Judge was touched by the powerful and influential friends of the comparatively big thief There was mo one to touch him In the other two eases. and they went to jail.
 'sThe quality of mercy is not strained said Portia (we believe it was). Ill The Merchant of Venice. but it was strained. in two meanings of the word. ii, thaAe Omaha cases. The man with influential friends has his fine paid for him and in all probability he will go forth without reproach and be as popular as ever. The other man and the boy mad no one to buy them off and will serve their sent ences and go out into the world with the stain of the prison on them and the odor of the convict clinging to their garments. Meanwhile the one child of OIeson will be provided for and the wife and seven children of Dittendorf will suffer. Such IS human justice.

CAN IT BE AvoIDEDe The Savannah Press says:

The currency question need not be ob- truded at all. Greater. immeasureably greater, than any palaSer about gold and silver is the salvation of the republic, the
 land IS as true to that as the polar star
 is to It's destiny in the heavens.
 We. agree with The Press that therc may Dc no need to mention the currency
 question at St. Louis, but is 1t certain
 that mention of it can be avoided? Sup
 pose. as is extremely probable, that MT.
 Bryan, or some one for him. insists or,
 an endorsement of the free silver plank of tho Kansas City platform. what then?
 Would not that bring on an acrid discus
 sion and endanger the harmony of the Convention? It most assuredly would.
 We have no doubt as to the outcome.
 because we believe that Convention win
 be made up of Democrats who would no- more think of making a demand for fee coinage than they would endorse 9~torcs bill. but that would not pregcnt bitter ness and possible divisio9ss Among the del- egates.
 It will dopbties.y be argued that MT. tsryan VIII nos attempt such an unneces- ssry perfyrmance. but how do we know
 hat <ag wouldn't In all that we have 'Isad of his deliverances since his return from Europe we have seen nothing to indicate any change of sentiment in him, or any reason to believe that he has learned anything from the past. He now veils his designs under the thin gauge of "bimetalism,' but in MT. Bryan's mouth that is only another name for free coinage, and he declares that the Kansas City platform should be adopted. If he is a delegate to the St. Louis Convention we look for him to spring the free silver heresy and if he Is not delegate he IS likely to have some friend who will do the work for him. We have little hoLe out a tussle with the white ghost.
 The Press Is correct in what it says about the important issues before the Democracy. and if the currency question can be kept out there will be good chance for the Democrats to unite on those issues which are of vital import ance. To reform the tariff and to get the Government out of the power of the bood lers and grafters are matters of grave importance. In short, as The Press ex- presses it, ''the salvation of the Republic is a paramount duty of Democrats. But we have little hope that discussion of the silver issue can be avoided,

New York Railroad BOrrows Money
 From the South.

Memphis Commercial Appeal.
 There has never been time when the south was so prosperous as 1t is today. The evidences of this are multiple. In times past we had to go East for money to move our crops and finance our corpor- ate institutions. This has been changed, and the East is coming South for money. Not long ago the New York Central Rail- road. one of the largest and richest cor portations in the North borrowed $40o GOO from a Memphis bank, at a rate one cent below that obtaining in the East. The depression of the stock market and the failure of over-capitaliEed corporations seriously crippled the banks of New York, and the interest rate went up as money became scarce. There was no such con-
 dition prevailing in the South, and money | accumulated in the banks of this section,
 reducing the interest rate to an appre- | ciable extent. This one loan, which Is a single item in a large list of such helps

 of wealth and prosperity which would
 come to the South are seeing their divina- | tons coming true.
