LAwLEssNEss IN TALBOT COUNTY


Talbotton of the negroes who
were charged with being MEM
bers of a Before Day club, a
charge that was shown to have no
foundation whatever. two inoffensive
negroes were shot by a gang of white
who had been released from custody.
According to our dispatch from Talbot
ton yesterday the negroes who were
shot were so badly hurt that it was
thought they would die.
What do the authorities of Talbot
RACES? Have they done anything? Has
an effort been made to bring the men
who committed the outrages to JUS
tice? If not. what excuse have the
authorities for their inactivity?
1t is certainly time more activity was
being displayed by the authorities in
many parts of the state in the direc-
tion of protecting peaceable negroes
from the attacks of lawless white men
who seem to delight in committing
crimes of violence with negroes as their
victims. 1t looks very much as If
stories about Before Day clubs were
manufactured for the purpose of
having an excuse to commit these
crimes.
We have said there are>|bad negroes
in all parts of the state. but it doesn't
follow that all the negroes are bad or
that well-behaved negroes should be
made the victims of outrages. The au-
thorities ought to be able to see that
II the negroes are not given the pro-
lection to which they are entitled the
time isn't distant when the farmers
will be practically without labor suffi-
Client to cultivate their farms. We do
not mention scarcity of labor as rea-
son why law-abiding negroes should be
protected, because they are entitled to
protection whether there is a scarcity
Of labor or not. but we simply call at
tention 70 that result of the lawless-
ness with the hope that it will create a
public sentiment that will not tolerate
these crimes of violence.
We are well aware that those who
|
| stantial citizens of the communities in
which the crimes are committed, but
the substantial citizens are in meas
ure responsible for them because they
do not take a firm stand against them.
1t II their duty to have the laws en-
forced, to have the law breakers
brought to Justice and to see TO it that
the negroes are given the protection to
which they are entitled. If they do not
do this they may expect an increase in
the percentage OF bad negroes.
When the negroes violate the laws
let them be punished, but let them be
punished by the courts, and when
white men break the laws let them be
dealt with as the laws direct. II the
facts are as stated in our Talbotton
dispatch in respect TO the shooting Of
two inoftensive negroes, the county au-
thoiities shouldn't rest until those who
did the shooting are arrested and pun
ished for their crime. And II might be
well for the Governor to take hand
in this matter and stifren the back
bones Of the local authorities In their
respective lines OF duty.

Once again the secret of perpetual
motion has been discovered. The lucky
finder is a Chicago mechanic. He
dreamed it out. then got up and made
a drawing of the engine that is to run
itself and any amount of machinery
without the expenditure of power. Be-
ing a wise man, the discoverer refuses
to divulge his secret, but he says that
just as soon as he finds somebody with
money to back him he is going to build
his perpetual motion engines and place
them on the market. And then. of
course, everything that goes on or by
wheels will be revolutionized. The in
ventor is going to New York in search
of a hacker. He might do we'll to try
Philadelphia. Kelley turned neat
trick there some years ago.

TAGGARr.s TALK.

There is no doubt about Chairman
Taggart being hopeful that the result
of the campaign will be a Democratic
victory. 1t is expected of course that
he will talk hopefully, even if he
doesn't feel so, but the tone of his re-
marks on his return from the West a
day or two ago indicated that he was
sincere when he said that he was sat
isfied that the Democrats would win
in Indiana, that the chances were they
would carry Wisconsin and that they
had a fighting chance in Illinois.
1t is fact that within the last day
or two there has been a very confident
feeling among the Democratic lead
ers. They have received information
from the rural districts in many parts
of the country that leads them to be-
lieve the Republicans are deceived as
to what the real feeling among the
people is in respect to the issues of
the campaign. There is no doubt that
the Republicans are fearful they will
lose the House. Mr.. Babcock, chair
man of the Republican Congressional
Committee, is quoted as saying that
the Democrats had the better chance
for carrying the House, and although
he is now denying that he made such
a statement, it is believed by the
Democratic leaders that he made it.
And the Republicans are not so sure
as they were that Mr.. Roosevelt has
the election won. The proof of this
Inc
forth every effort to hold the ground
they think they have won. They are
sending speakers into every part of
the doubtful states and are urging
the local leaders to organize SO as to
get every Republican voter to the
polls. 1t is practically conceded by
the shrewdest political observers that
Judge Parker will carry New York.
This concession alarms the Republican
managers. While they figure out Mr..
Roosevelt's election without New
York they feel that if the impression
gets abroad that New York is going
against him it will likely influence the
vote in other doubtful states. They
are doing what they can therefore to
combat the idea that he will lose New
York.
There is no doubt that the state
ticket the New York Democrats have
nominated Is much better received
than the ticket the Republicans of
that state have nominated. Indeed,
the Republican ticket is noticeably I'M
popular, because it was dictated by
Gov. Odell. AS the situation now pre-
sents itself Judge Parker will carry
New York, and his prospects for car
rying all of the other doubtful states
are improving all the time.

Flies that feed upon the dead bodies
on the Port Arthur battlefield are said
to be biting the people of the city,
causing blood poisoning and death.
The savagery of the contending armies.
in showing no mercy and refusing even
to permit the burial of the dead, is liza
bic to react upon the armies in ter
rible manner. The putrid bodies, the
millions of flies and the contamination
of water supplies are just the factors to
bring about an epidemic of diseases such
as typhoid, dysentery, etc. Self-pres-
ervation dictates that a field shall be
cleared of dead at the earliest possible
moment, especially when great bodies
of men must remain in the neighbour
hood for long time. But in the fury
of their antagonism the armies seem
to have thrown caution to the wind.

President Borden of the Fall River
Cotton Manufacturers Association
says the cotton trade is deeply inter-
ested in the outcome of the war in
the Far East. and that. from a purely
business point of view, people in the
cotton business should desire Japanese
success. Before Russia closed Man
churian ports to American trade. in
1908, not less than 36,OOO.OOO yards of
cotton cloth made in the United States
were sold in Manchuria and China
every month. That was the situation
in April, 1903. BY November of the
same year the imports of American
cotton cloths had fallen to 100000
yards. That is what it means to us
in the cotton Market" said President
Borden. With the driving of the
Cars army out of Manchuria the
American cotton trade is once more
picking up, and with the final success
of Japanese arms prosperity in the
cotton trade will once more return" i.

Umatilla county teachers and pupils
will note that the Pendleton public
school exhibit for the ST. Louis exposi-
tion is on display in Pendleton today.
They will also take cognizance of the
palpable unfairness OF Mr.. Lyman in
allowing the Pendleton schools two
months time In which to prepare their
exhibits, when the other schools of the
county were allowed but one weeks
time in which to do the work. If there
is one atom of fairness in Mr.. Lyman s
action, the PRESS fails to see it, The
very least that he could have done, had
he been disposed to treat the schools
with justice and impartality, would
have been to inform Pendleton that if
additional time was allowed, her exhibit
must be made independent of the
county exhibit, But the Press learns
from a reliable source that the Pendle-
ton exhibit is to go to the exposition as
part of, and in competition with the
other schools of the county. The teach
ers of Umatilla county should join in
"round robin" to Mr.. Lyman. This
action might jar his sensibilities to the
extent at least that he would be made
aware of tho fact that there are those
who believe in fairness, il he does not.

In the present campaign TIE mikado's
fighting man is carrying a great deal
more food with him than his Russian
adversary. Against the latter's two
days rations, he carries two cooked ra-
tions of rice in addition to six emergency
rations. These are contained in an alu-
minum mess pan, and, as the rice has
been boiled and dried in the sun, the
entire weight is trifing. Itiscommonly
supposed that the Japanese soldier lives
entirely on rice and dried fish, but such
is not the fact. He can live and fight
we'll on that spare diet if necessary
but he is given meat and other sustain
ing foods whenever practicable, as Vel
as beer or saki.

ATHENA, APRIL /, 1904

For several months past wonderful
stress has been placed upon the impor-
tance of the "Williamson-Sherman
county relief bill'' by the supporters of
the congressman, and it was pointed out
that it provided the only business-like
and sensible measure ever presented OF
the kind, also that it was the handiwork
of Congressman Williamson. In short,
it was "the Williamson bill with a big
emphasis on the "Williamson. But
since the Times-Mountaineer has ex-
posed the farce, and shown that 1t was a
mere nothing, we are told that it is not
"the Williamson bill" at all. The
Dalles Chronicle, the most ardent sup
porter in the state of Mr.. Williamson,
in its issue Of Saturday, shifts responsi-
bility for the promulgation Of the farce
onto Senator Mitchell. Here is its ex-
act language:
"This bill was first introduced in the
senate by Mr.. Mitchell"
When the bill was thought to be a
good thing, splendid campaign docu-
ment as it we're, Mr.. Williamson was its
father, But since it has been proven a
nothing, not even good campaign cir
cular, the Chronicle changes the poor
child's parent, and lays the founding
on the doorstep Of Mr.. Mitchell. In
whose arms will the poor thing be thrust
next? What sort of legerdemain may
we not look for? Hocus pocus; presto
change. Now you see 1t; now you don't
see it. Who'll claim this fatherless
brat?

Curiosity to learn the fate of "Young

JAPAN PRESS ON THE WAR
FINANCES OF. THE EMPIRE

Russia. 1t must be borne in mind that
Japan is not to cope with a moribund
enemy; on the contrary she has to
measure swords with a frst-rate power
and therefore must be prepared to
stand a prolonged struggle, necessarily
involving an enormous outlay. In re-
spending to this urgent call of the
country the people may send in their
contributions either to the War Fund
or to the Comfort Fund, but above all
they must do so by subscribing to the
war loans which the Government will
be obliged to raise.
The Jill gives courageous advice to
both the government and people about
the repIenishing of the emergency
fund. Our contemporary SCOTS at the
idea of avoiding the floating of long
term loans to save the market from the
risk of being disturbed by the with
drawaI of large sum of money. The
Jill overrules that objection by point
ing out how the market, suffering as
it does at present from a plethora of
floating funds, is in the most favorable
position to meet these particular needs

Japan was rich enough, writes the

Cured ten years ago, and everything
points to an ability not one whit in

The contributions made ten years ago
to the War Fund and the Soldiers and

about million yen, while the nation
could we'll afford to supply war sum
of over 200 millions to the war chest.
Not a sen did Japan borrow from the
pockets of outsiders on that occasion
Meanwhile our riches and resources
have made striking advance, as may
be inferred from the simple fact that
during the period that has since elaps-

creased more than threefold. Japan,
