fonla Officers Caught Prisoners In the
Act-One Got Away.


Act-One Got Away.
Ionia, Mich, Oct. S-The sharp
hearing of Sheriff Fales ana the
prompt action of Deputy Sheriff Ed
Montgomery prevented a wholesale
jail delivery here Sunday afternoon.
AS 1t was, one prisoner got away and
is still at large.
About o'clock the sheriff was sit
ting in his Office when he heard a pc
culiar noise in the cell corridor, where
five prisoners were confined. He at
cncc summoned Montgomery, who had
gone home to dinner, and the two be-
gan an investigation. 1t was found
that the bars had been removed from
the ventilator shaft and that Gerald
Price and Albert Wilson were in the
attic. Montgomery, unarmes, went af-
ter them and succeeded in getting Viii.
son back in the Jail, but Price ran to
the window and jumped out into the
alley, scaled high board fence and
ran.
BY the time the sheriff could start
in pursuit the man was out of sight
and though he was chased for four
miles across the country, the trail was
finally lost. in the darkness, and up tc
midnight he hao not been captured.

EIGHT SKELETONS
Found at Sparta With Bullet In Each
Skull.

Found at Sparta With Bullet In Each
Skull.
Grand Rapids, Mich. Oct 4.-Much
excitement has been created in the vii
lage of Sparta sixteen miles north, By
the discovery of eight skeletons near
the town.
The discovery was made by three
young men who were hunting. They
found one skeleton, and upon investi.
eating found three more buried in the
ground, and an army of men began
digging over the premises.
Monday four more were found, and
physicians were called, who declare
that they wore buried in comparative
ly recent years. A bullet was found
in each skull.
- The oldest inhabitant cannot recol.
lect any sudden disappearance OF
anything else to account for tragedies
The region in which the bodies were
found was formerly a wild one, and
it is thought that the bodies may be
those of early settlers, killed by high
waymen.

Given Verdict Of $1,000.

Owosso, Mich, Oct. 5.-The circuit
court has given a verdict of $4,000
damages in the case of T. Henry
against the Ann Arbor railroad. Henry,

ductor on the Ann Arbor road. While
switching at Whitmore Lake two years

that was left too near the track
pushed him off the car and under the
wheels. His right arm was cut off at
the shoulder. The case will be APP

IMMIGRATION RESTRICTION.

In most of the old world countries
from which the United States and
laws are being passed which seek to
change the character of this move
ment. These countries recognize
that by the wholesale departure Of
their thrifty and well-to-do citizens,
the strength of the nation is impaired.
They are entirely willing to be rid of
the undesirable elments' in their popu-
lations, and quite as willing that the
great English cpeaking nations should
have them, but quite naturally they
want to keep the better classes at
home Sweden is the last country to
move in this direction. A fund of
100000 crowns has been created
which will be lent to men and women
Of Swedish birth and of known in
dustry and sobriety at 3h per cent,
to enable them to purchase homesteads
The bait is alluring, and Sweden thus
hopes to stop the departure of that
class of it's people, which has come in
such large numbers to these shores
and forms one of the most substantial
and desirable parts of our composite
citizenship.
The Swedish homestead law may be
good thing for that country, but it
will not be good thing for the
United States. Both this country and
Canada chould be prompt to retaliate
by legislation that will radically raise
the standards for immigrants, and
throw back upon the old world it's I'M
desirable classes. Yet we move slowly
in these important matters. Great
Britain is not ready to consider
carefully the alien immigration bill
prepared by the royal commission. and
our own congress treats the immigra-
ton question as if it We're of secondary
Importance.
The foreign vote has been a great
stumbling block in the way of proper
legislation in this country. Members
of congress have been afraid to move
along advanced lines for fear of Of
Tending constituents. But the better
elements among citizens of foreign
birth and parentage is today in favor
of greater restrictions and they will
endorse any proper move congress may
see fit to make. If Europe will not
prevented from sending us it's worst.

citizenship and break up the tribal
relation, we exercise the greatest care
to protect them. AS a rule, Indians
who receive allotments of land are not
permitted to sell them for twenty five
years. Even in the Indian Territory,
where the Indians are far from being
infants in the ways of business, they
are not permitted to sell their lands
until five years after allotment. But
except for a few years assistance,
terminated so abruptly and so dis
appointingly as to undo much of the
work that had been done, the helpless
negro was left to shift for himself
among his old masters without any
sort of economic assistance or protec
ton. No wonder the race is still poor;
no wonder peonage still exists in the
south.
AS for Professor Du Bots criticism
of Booker Washington, there is force
in it. He thinks that Mr. WASHINGTON
has gone too far in his emphasis on
manual training and commercialism
Not that all that Mr. Washington is
doing in this way is not highly praise
worthy, but that he errs in holding
that the time has not come for higher
education for negroes. Professor Du
Bots insists that Tuskegee itself would
nave been impossible if there had not
been negro colleges and UNIVERSITIES to
bring forth teachers and leaders. 1t
was logical and natural, in his opinion,
that they should come first in point of
time and Tuskegee and like institutions
later. Historically, the university has
always appeared before the common
school. 1t is the center from which
emanate influences that set up ideals
and instill inspiration. The great en-
phasis now being laid on Booker
Washington's work is impairing the
efficiency of these centers of light in
the south. Support is being with
drawn and they are neglected.
Professor Du Bots book should be
read by every person interested in the
negro problem. 1t gives the outlines
of the problem from the point of view
of man who is a negro himself and
yet has enjoyed the educat ton and Gull
allies to the fullest extent the double
personality of the American negro,
apart from all other Americans by race
prejudice.

HANEY MADE EFFORT TO CAUSE
TROUBLE ON WALLA WAIlA
RIVER.
He Was Discharged by the Superin
tendent Of Washington & Oreso,
Power Company.

Ed Haney, who a year ago jumped
his bail of $3.50 at Pendleton, while
awaiting trial on a charge of obtain
ing money under false pretenses, and
who was retaken a few days ago. bears
an unsavory reputation among en-
ployes of the Washington & Oregon
Power company.
Previous to his arrest last week,
Haney was employed by the Washing
ton & Oregon Power company and had
charge of one of the line crews. G. F.
Hawley. one of the men in Haneys
crew alleges that the man stole re-
vOlver from him a short time ago.
1t is reported that last Thursday
when the linemen received their pay,
Haney attempted to get them to go on
a strike for higher wages and shorter
hours. Several of the men went to
Pendleton with Haney and became in
tOxicated and We're discharged The
day previous to his arrest, Haney was
himself dismissed.

FIRE ON JOHN CROWS FARM
NEAR PENDLETON BURNS
1870 ACRES.
Estimated That the Grain Would
Have Yielded Forty Bushels
to the Acre.

A bad grain fire occurred last eve
ming on the wheat farm conducted by
John Grow, located about two and a
half miles east of Pendleton, and with
in a very short time 100 acres of fine
wheat had been consumed. Forty
acres in this field had been cut yester-
day afternoon by a combined harvester
and that was also destroyed. AS this
was one of the best fields Of wheat Mr..
Grow had raised this year the loss will
be somewhat large, although the grain
had been insured. The wheat would
have easily averaged 40 bushels to the
acre and was of an exceptionally fine
quality The insurance will not cover
the loss as the grain had been insured
at the rate of 80 bushels an acre and
for the marqet jrice the wheat market
obtained at the time the insurance was
placed. With the insurance Mr.. Grow
cannot escape with much less than
$4,000 loss.
for the market price the wheat market
mated from a spark from passenger
train No. 2 last evening.

THE SOULS OF BLACK FOLK"

While the negro problem was being
SO widely discussed last year, Profess
sor Burghardt Du Bots of Atlanta uni
versity brought out a book, The Souls
of Black Folk" that has never received
the serious consideration it is entitl-
ed to. It has been treated by the re-
viewers generally as merely piece of
artistic literary pessansm or as a
short sighted attack on Booker Wash
ington. 1t is true that there sounds
through the whole terribly fascinating
book a note of gloom and despair, and
differs from Booker Washington's ideas
of the negro problem and of negro ed
ucatiOn.
Yet no other book evinces such an
intimate acquaintance of its author
Bots has succeeded in giving to his
readers a clear idea of the precise
this country. He tells us of their ma
terial condition, of their almost hope
and of their miserable position-in the
south, at leaSt-aS to political and
excellent account of the history of the
negro problem and points out the great
has made the negro still problem
forty years after the end of the war
that liberated him.
Professor Du Bots cOnvincingly ar
CUES that the nation did not start the
negro right. Technically it made him
a free man; really, it did not. 1t said
that he was no longer the property of
another man, but it did not give
him the means of establishing real
freedom. Without capital, without
land. without learning. without wis
dom, he was left after a few years of
assistance by the freedmem's bureau
TO shift for himself AS a result, great
masses of the negroes of the south
lapsed into a condition of debt and de
pendence that was in many respects
inferior to their condition under
slavery. 1t would have been we'll. Pro-
SCISSOR Du Bots thinks, if the promise
Of forty acres and a mule had been re-
allied. If the negro had been started
out on his independent career as a
landowner, freedom would nave been
something more than the mockery it
has been. and largely will be until he
gets 4 footholl on the land or becomes
skilled with his hands or mind.

If the republicans are SO sure Of car
rying Washington why do they think
it necessary to bring Secretary Shaw,
Senator Fairbanks and other disting-
uished orators of the party to make
stump speeches throughout the state?
The truth is that the nomination of
Turner for governor and the revolt of
thousands of republicans against rail-
road domination of their party has
alarmed the republican national COM
mittee, and there will be no lack Of
speakers and money to boost the cause
of Roosevelt However, the democrats
are not counting on carrying the state
for the national ticket, but the main
fight will be concentrated on the eff
fort to redeem the state from the rule
of a corrupt and corrupting railroad
lobby"

During Steve Judson's service as a
member of the Legislature he voted for
every bill proposing relief for the
graingrowers and other shippers of
eastern Washington from excessive
freight rates. Although representing
Pierce county, the center of railroad
influence in the state he had the cour-
age TO vote his own convictions every
time, regardless of threats of political
ruin from the lobby that has had COM
plete control of the government of this
state during a great deal of the time
since the state was admitted to the
Union. Judson is a staunch, sturdy.
resolute, fearless Jacksonian democrat
who can never be sWerVed from the
path of duty when he once makes up
his mind what is right-ana it doesn't
take him long to make up his mind.
His election as lieutenant governor is
as certain as anything can be in poll
ties and he will make an ideal presid-

WALL STREET IS OPPOSED T(

1t seems that all the talk about Wall

if the Washington correspondent Of the
Oregonian can be believed. He says in
a letter this week:
Wall street is not bothering itself
about 1908, but it is anxious to defeat
the democratic ticket not so much be-
cause of the nominee, as because of
the party platform, and the fact that
