SPICHT DEFENDS
THE SOUTHRONS
Mississippi Congressman Says
Roosevelt Has Inflamed
Negro Passions.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 16.-
In the house today, during the discus
sion of the postoffice appropriation
bill, Mr.. Spight (Mfss.) discussed the
negro question and declared unjust the
attacks on the people OF the South who
had been charged with brutality and
barbarism toward the colored race
Comparing the lynchings and burnings
at the stake which had occurred in the
South with those in the North, he said
the people of the South, in melting out
punishment to the negro who had COM
m1tted a fiendish crime, never followed
it up with violence toward defenseIess
women and children, had been done
in the North.
He declared that President Roose-
welt, by inviting Booker T. Washington
to dine at the White house, had done
more to lnflame the passions of the ne
gro and to give him a perverted idea of
his Importance and his near approach
to social equality than has been done
for the last ten years.
Subsidies to railroads for special
mail facilities came in for considerable

Gated increased pay for them and the

gurating rural free delivery. He said
Heath made the claim, notwithstanding
the fact that he had not yet emerged
from the postof1ce scandal with
name as unsullied as the Alpine SHOWS

ARBITRATE OR LOAF
Lithographers Are Given This
Alternative.

NEW YORK, March 16.-Labor trou-
bles, as result of which many thou
sands of men are idle, again threaten
the Industrial world, and the situation
is expected to become as serious as the
troubles of a year ago. In the building
trades in this city, it is estimated, that
already 10000 men are out of work
and that the number will be increased
almost daily. In addition, the printing
trades are threatened by the attitude
of the photographers, 10000 of whom
are expected to be locked out.
The dissension in both these trades
is caused by a disagreement over arbi-
tration agreements with employers and
involves the absolute recognition of the
unions, the eighth day and the
"open shop"
The building strike was inaugurated
by the masons' laborers, who claim
that it was caused by their employers
posting notice cutting down overtime
charges. The plan of the employers,
they assert, is to inaugurate an "open
shop" policy.
The Iaborers were quickly supported
by the bricklayers and the allied trades.
The housesmiths were followed by rig
gers, steamftters, boilermakers and in
side iron workers as well as some cleo
trical workers.
The various unions of the allied lith-
ograpiling trade organizations held
conferences tonight and decided not to
accept the arbitration plan proposed to
them by the employers association. The
arbitration plan was submitted fndi-
vidually today to every workman en-
ployed by a member of the association
and they were told if they did not &C
eept the plan they would be locked out.
The men were given until Saturday to
decide. If the men refuse to sign the
agreements, more than 10000 men will
be locked out throughout the United
States and Canada.

More Frequent Pay Desired.

Officials of the treasury and postof1ce
departments will try to have contract
ors on star routes. rural free delivery
carriers and mail messengers paid
monthly instead of quarterly The
vouchers of these men pass through
over twenty different hands before they
receive their compensation. It is the
idea of the officials that this matter
could be greatly siAplffied, and, as the
compensation of many of these en-
ployes is small, the delay in payment
sometimes results in hardship.

SPLENDID WORK.

The city of st. Paul as a whole and
It's Democratic voters in particular are
to be congratulated upon the splendid
work done at the primaries on Tues
day. The Democratic ticket is one of
which every party voter has reason to
be proud. We could not have asked
choice of such candidates. For the
city offices proper the present incum-
bents were named, as it was sure that
they would be. There is no man in st.
Paul who commands so fully the con-
fidence and support of the voters as
Robert A Smith. Louis Betz and Otto
Bremen have discharged the duties Of
comptroller and treasurer with ability
and fidelity, and have shown as well
that courteous demeanor and that per-
the people appreciate. The renomina-
ton of these excellent officials and high
minded and clean-handed men is equiv
alent to their reelection.
The Democratic assembly ticket is
simply ideal. We do not believe that
any conclave of men, any reform asso
citation, any non-partisan league or
gathering of business men willing to
throw party ties to the winds and to
select an assembly ticket with regard
to fitness only, and without inquiry as
to party affiliations, could have done
better than the Democratic voters did
at the primaries. It is a vindicatien Of
the party and Of the high plane Of
thought and action of it's voters that
every one of whom is deserving of the
votes of the people on the highest pub
lie grounds. Go down the line with
Regain, Powers, Doran, Giesen, Haas,
O'Brien, Schiffmann, Yoerg and Whit
comb, and you will not find man
whom our people should not be glad
by their consolidated vote to place in
the upper branch of the council. There
is not a man whose consent to perform
the duty of membership in the assem-
bly, is not a personal concession and a
gift that the city should highly appre-
ciate.
The nominations for aldermen in the
several wards are very satisfactory.
The candidates chosen are nearly all
of excellent ability and standing, and
with the assembly will constitute a
body in whose charge the people Of st.
Paul may leave their interests with
satisfaction and security. The nomi-
nees for justice of the peace are
capable and excellent men. Again we
say to the Democratic voters of the
city, Well done. You have stood nobly
to your task. You have set the stand
ard of public service high. You have
placed in charge of your interests and
those of the city men notable for good
citizenship, as well as for stanch De-
mocracy. To the people of the city we
say, A party that justifies itself by
such fruits as these deserves your ut
most good will and your enthusiastic
support at the polls. The campaign is
now open, and if the best men are to
t6nTI n CHI hoy
