TILLMAN EXT0LS
MOB DOMINANCE
Senator Declares Violence Is Evil

erty.
New York Sun Special Service

Omaha, Neb., Sept. l7-In letter
to Judge W. F. Bryant of Lincoln,
Senator Benjamin R. Tillman of South
Carolina makes several rather sensa-
tional statements respecting mob
violence and the race question in the
south, declaring, among other things,
that mobs are evidences of a spirit Of
liberty; that race antagonism and race
hatred are growing apace; that the
whites used force and fraud to over
come negro maiorities; that unless the
northern people can be made to under
stand that no power upon earth can
force negro equality upon the white
people Of the south, the black race there
will be exterminated and that President
Roosevelt has given the negroes to hope
and believe that they may yet become
the dominant race. He closes by say

educated negro is fit to govern white

Statesboro lynching would be thing

WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK
Usefulness to the Public.
To the Editor of The Journal.


In Thursday nights o ur n a the
following editorial paragraph appeared:
The report of the Voters league seems to leave
nothing to be said. We do not believe that any
considerable number Of voters are going to ques-
ton the competency of that report, and with the
valuable advice before them which the league has
furnished. there is excuse for serious mistakes
at the primaries so far as the vote on capdl-
dates for the council is concerned.
am one of many taxpayers that would
like to know why the Voters league, af-
ter saying that Fred M. Powers had
been Of service in the council as free
lance, had been faithful in his alder
manic duties,'' and chad fair abilities,
recommended an entirely new and untried
man, who is not only connected person
ally and socially but by ties of kinship
with the owners Of many Of our city,
largest corporate interests; and when
other candidates for denomination who
had not any more. if as many good points
| in their favor, were recommended.
| Is not the Voters league strong enough
to throw off some of the influence ,that
so strongly perrneates the city council
and which they are so free to condemn
| in an alderman when he feels Its ssooth-
ing influence. If they are, then why Is $
| NOT s.honest y 'syalue,'' "faithfulness'
and fair abilities" entitled to some consld-
eratione and reward?
/ Others may be shrewder, commercially
speaking, but there have been many
other comm ercially shreWd ones who
:, fell down when they got to the city hall
. as they were not big enough to resls
a relationship or some other CONNER
cial title
I cannot from the matter set before
me by the Voters league agree with yol
in the conclusions arrived at, and an
not only willing, but anxious to be shown
why I should cast aside faithful EN-
ployes to pick up an unknown quantity

Mr.. Roosevelt once said somethin!
about the man of good intentions which

the effect that good intentions cons titut

should say that Mr.. Roosevelt had me

GINSENG GROWING.

Without doubt'one of the most profit
able industries for persons having but a
small place is that of growing ginseng.
Each year for many years, the roots be
come more and more valuable; in 1890,
this market, now they are 81 per ID.
The supply of wild roots is nearly ex-
hausted, and it is doubtful if in the next
generation enough can be raised to sup
ply the demand, with a constant demand
from the Chinese ever increasing. That
by the number Of successful gardens in
this state. The exhibit at the late
state fair by the Northwestern Hide &

much attention. Besides its great value

REPORT ON GO0DNOW
IN PRESIDENTS HANDS

From The Journal Bureau, Colorado Building,
Washington. -. 49, .rr.,. ..35 i, r..
f Washington, Sept 17.-It is under
stood here that Assistant Secretary
Pierce's report on the charges against
John Goodnow, consul general at Shang-
hal, was submitted to the president at
the same time the McWade case was
sent to Oyster Bay.
The delay in announcing the decision
to Goodnow is understood to be due to
the fact that the evidence of wrong
doing is not so clear as it was in Nc:
Wade s case, the latter being removed
very quietly after the president had
examined papers.
The charges and evidence in the Good
now case formed a voluminous mass OF
documents and the president may be
going into some Of the details before
taking action. ~. ..-........

HOW TO HOLD A HUSBAND.

lover-by cheerfulness of disposition, pa
Hence and keeping your youthful looks.
Of course great many women are handi-
capped by those ills to which women are
heir. The constantly recurring troubles
which afflict her are apt to cause sour
disposition, nervousness aud beclouded
mind.
Dr.. R.v. Pierce, the specialist in woman's
diseases, of Buffalo, N Y, after long ex-
perience in treating such diseases, found
that certain roots and herbs made into
liquid extract, would help the majority
Of cases. This he called Dir. Pierce's Pa
vorite Prescription. Thousands of women
have testified to its merits, and it is put
ZIP in shape to be easily procured and
is sold by all medicine dealers This is
potent tonic for the womanly system.
So much faith has Dr.. Pierce In its merits
that he offers $500 reward for any case OF
Leucorrhea, Female Weakness, Prolapsus,
or Falling of Womb, which he cannot
cure. All he asks is a fair and reasonable
trial of his means Of cure.

Watch Them Wriggle Out.

The campaign for the election
Of state senator to succeed
Clapp is curiously illustrative of
the campaign that was waged
against the republican nominee
for governor, Mr.. Dunn. The
same people, the twin city news
papers, are making the fight
against Clapp, and they are doing
it the same way-deliberately
manufacturing news items to
suit their purpose. They inter
viewed Gunder Krostue. repre-
sentative elect from Polk county,
the other day. Gunder said he
was for Clapp and that he thought
the entire ninth district was.
This did not suit the twin city
papers, however, and so they
made Gunder say that at least
five or six of the ninth district
legislators were against Clapp..
Mr.. Krostue has written the twin
city papers note repudiating the
interview as they published it.
They have not published the note
as yet. Will they? If they do
we can rest assured that they
will annocate it with an ingenious
piece of news calculated to off
set Mr.. Krostue's straightfor-
ward declaration.
When it comes to politics the
twin city papers simply can't tell
the truth, for it is not in them.

One Sunday afternoon he was

they say cannibal will not eat a

many a time" returned he, ssbut
it is harder to give up my pipe
than back tooth. 1 feel like a
fish out of water when I quit
smoking ten minutes.
''Why don't you try no-tobac

stand that they take the tobacco

She seemed strangely dis
turbed. After a few moments of
smoke wrapped thought, she re.
sumed confdentially: "You see,
I've had four husbands that
smoked awfully. I tried to cure
them by putting stuff in their
coffee, unbeknown to them.
Everyone of them died suddenly,
but I never thought before to-
day that the tobacco cure had
anything to do with their going
so alfred soon. =
AS Leb hurried home a few
minutes later he acted like a man
who was out on bail.

SUBSCRIPTION IS PER YEAR
An Urgent Need.

AN urgent NEED.
Even many of the residents of
northern Minnesota do not real
ize the urgent and desperate need
for drainage.
If we are to realize a 1.-THE of
our possibilities we must have at
once far more aid from the state
for drainage than has been
granted thus far. Right here in
Beltrami county there are thous-
ands Of acres lying waste for the
want Of draining, while commu,
nication with fertile sections of
the county is almost impossible
because of the swamps that must
be crossed. The difficulty of
communication with Shotley and
Ripple is an example. A few
days ago when the coroner of
Beltrami county was called to
Shotley on official business he
had to jump from hummock to
hummock for sixteen miles across
tamarack swamp and to tramp
the sixteen miles back again
when his business was done.
Would you go to Ripple when the
ground is not frozen, you must
walk. Yet these swamps may be
easily drained, thousands of acres
made ready for the settler and
thriving settlement put in close
touch with the rest of the world.
A new country like Beltrami
county has not the money to un-
dertake it and complete it with
large profit to itself. It is time
for a more radical adoption Of the
drainage policy by the state Of
Minnesota.
