General r. P. Kennedy spoke and his
discourse was one OF much interest.
He reviewed the Issues of the present
campaign and told in convincing Ian

if the Democratic party again came in
power. The discourse is conceded by
all present as one of the finest ever de-
livered by General Kennedy and those

convincing arguments and vital facts

Man From Alabama Discusses
the Negro Problem

II will take any two citizens of st.
Paul down to my home in the South
for the next six months, accept them
as my guests, and entertain them, and
if, at the end of that time, their OBJ
servations of the negro problem do not
lead to views which coincide with the
views of the better class of Southern
ers on the negro problem, I will pay
all their expenses and admit that we
need to be reformed, instead Of the
colored man." said William F. Archer,
a Birmingham (Ala.) business man, last
night, at the Merchants hotel.
There are no doubt a great number
of educated negroes in the North who
are a credit to their race" continued
Mr.. Archer. But in the South the ne
groes constitute a class which for ir-
responsibility and viciouSness cannot
be surpassed. This applies to over 95
per cent of the entire colered popula-
ton of the South.
eve have established negro schools
supported by state funds, and will
gradually educate the negroes until
they are in a position to be handled
properly. But the present generation
is outside the pale of reformation. The
only way to handle them is with an
iron rod.
president Roosevelt's action in in
viting Booker T. Washington to din

effect upon the negroes in the South.
1t seemed to impress every negro that

be marveled at, and for q few weeks
after the historic dinner crime in
creased among the colored race to an

Charles E. Pitcher, alias A. B. Race, is
held by the st. Paul police on charge
of stealing large amount of jewelry
from the Walker Edmunds company, of
Chicago, on Sept. "a. Pitcher, who is a

The police found about $4,000 worth of

stopping at Jackson street hotel, where
he registered as A. B. Race, Chicago.

response to a query, received a telegram
from Chief O'Neill, which stated that the

NEW YORK SOCIALIST
WOULD ELECT DEBS
Says His Party Is the Party
of the Working
Class

John Spargo, New York Socialist, before
500 adherents of this party in Hfawatha
hall last night aroused great enthusiasm
by declaring that there is really but one
poIitical issue before the people, and that
Is 1.-THE contest between workingmen and
their masters" He said in part
1.-THE old parties tell US in chorus that
the only issue in this campaign is Wnlcn
is the better man?' But we answer them
with a clear and unmistakable No! We
declare that not men, but the thing FOR
which they stand, must be the issue.
Yet if it were otherwise, and the issue
were which is the better man, Roosevelt,
Parker or our own beloved Gene Debs,
/ say to you that I'd rather be Debs dead
than either of the other two alive and IN
the White house.
when we look at the results OF our
elections it is impossible to congratulate
the workers upon the results of their
choosing. They vote now for the Repub-
lican party, and now for the Democratic
party but the result is always the same.
Whichever party is successful it always
uses its power to crush the workers and
defeat them in everyone of their efforts
to improve their position. Republican
Gov. Peabody. of Colorado, the greatest
and most dangerous anarchist IN the
country, violated his oath of office ana
trampled under foot the state and fed
eraI constitutions in order to serve the
Victor Coal & Iron company, tribu-
tary of the Rockefeller interests.
Roosevelt, when he was governor of the
state of New York, sent soldiers to break
up the strike of the laborers at Croton
Dam.
The Socialist party. called the Public
Ownership party in this state, is the one
party of the working class, the producers
of all the wealth of the nation. Our
party does not make any appeal for mon
ey or votes to the master class of the
world. The labor unions have my entire
approval but the only solution of the
problems that confront US is through the
ballot box A vote for Debs is the best
kind of a strike, for when we strike at
the ballot box we cannot be beaten

JUDGES RESET HEARING
OF WRIT OF MANDAMUS
Barber Asphalt company's Attempt to
Secure Recognition Postponed

The writ of mandamus directed to
Judge Page Morris, of the United
States district court, returnable Satur-
day. has been reset for hearing for
Tuesday at 10 o'clock by the United
States circuit court of appeals.
The writ was to have been heard
yesterday before Judge w. H. Sanborn,
but because of the absence of Judge w.
c. Hook from the city, the case was
continued until Tuesday. 1t will then
be heard by Judges Sanborn. Hook and
Van Devanter.
1t is not expected that Judge Morris
will be in court to combat the order to
show cause why he refuses to hear the
case of the Barber Asphalt Company
VS.. The City of Duluth. The point rails
ed is one of procedure, and the attor-
neys for the Barber company and for
the defendant city of Duluth are ex-
pected to argue the case.
1t is probable that the attorneys for
Duluth will raise the point that the
circuit court of appeals is without jul
risdiction. and that the only court in
which the mandamus proceedings will
lie is the United States supreme court.
The case is without precedent in the
United States circuit court of appeals.

In this case the officer was able to arrest
but one of two offenders and warrant
was issued for the other the following

"The reason for this showing" said
the prosecutor, ''is that as far as posi-
BILE 1 refuse to issue warrants in neigh

would dominate in police court If war

In but few Of such cases is there any rea-
