In the midst of the tales of out
RACES and lynchings that so fire.
quently stand out prominent in the
daily papers about negroes, the story
of eolored man at Wilmington,
Del, is decidedly refreshing, and
we have no doubt that similar in
stances of the gentlemanly instincts
of colored men happen daily, but
unfortunately, they fail to get to
the ears of the reporters. In the
instance referred to, a trolley car
was the scene, and two drunken
white rufians were the cause for
the instance. The white brutes
were using insulting and vile Ian
guage in the presence of other
white passengers, part of whom
were ladies and upon refusal to de-
sist when demonstrated with by
the white gentlemen present one of
the rufians started to threaten an
aged gentleman for interfering with
his abuse. 1t was at that time that
the colored man arose from his
seat, and said Use here to pro-
tect desc ladies and Use gwine to do
it., and proceeded to knock the
party out i'll good style. The in
stincts of a gentleman had been
outraged in the breast of this col
ored gentleman, and to the credit of
himself and his race, he stood up
for the majesty Of the law and de-
cency. There are thousands of
white wretches like those that this
colored gentleman punished, and
also many colOred men whose sense
of honor and principles of right
and justice are as marked as were /
those of him who stood as the pro-
tector of women in that Whining
ton trolley car; but unfortunately,
the spirit of sensationalism requires
the spreading broadcast all of the .
dark spots, the crimes and the mis-
deeds of the colored criminal, while
the misdeeds of the whites, have
become 50 common that the public
them without protest. All
honor to colored men like the one
Of this instance, and who refused |
to give his name to the public.

THE Jim Crow cars, to comply

THE Jim Crow" cars, to comply
with Maryland's S new law requiring
the negroes to ride il separate
cars, were sent down the Delaware
railroad the early part of this week,
and were put into use to-day, when
the new law went into effect. One
of these cars run over the D. NJ. &
Y. railroad between Georgetown
and Franklin City, Va. While the
negroes are kicking against the
change, there is no help for them,
and they must comply with the
law. A penalty is provided to ap-
ply to whites who may insist on
riding in the Jim Crow" car, as
we'll as for the black who may in
sist upon using the regular coaches
provided for the whites. Thus the
color line is drawn.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

The President was early al his
desk Thur, day morning, attending
to the every day humdrum labors
of his official position, calm, serene
and industrious, Notwithstanding
the Republican convention was in
session at Chicago which would
nominate him for the Presidency.
At noon he had as a dinner guest
for the second time Mr.. Paul MGR
ton, who had again hurried from
the west to talk over the situation.
1t is now understood that the Pres
ident has induced him to accept
the position of Secretary of the
Navy, Mr.. Moody becoming At
torney General. The President ap-
pointed Mr.. Morton because he has
high opinion of his ability and
thinks him the best man for the
place. Mr.. Morton's recent con
version to Republicanism is regard
ed as good thing, and may have
some influence Oh the vote in Ne.
braska. 1t is also recalled that Mr..
Dominic I. Murphy, recently ep-
pointed Secretary of the Panama
Commission, is a Democrat and
under Cleveland was Assistant
Commissioner of Pensions. And
Gen. Black, now Chief of the Civil
Service Commission, was also a
good Democrat in the days of Cleve-
land. Nevertheless, all these appoint
ments have been well received and
they help to break down party
lines.
The President was sitting on the
south porch of the White House
when at 2I3p.m Thursday his
Secretary, Mr.. Loeb, brought the
telegram announcing the fact of his
nomination. He received it calmly
and cody and was at once congrat-
ulated by his wife. aud such mem
bers of his family as were present.
The next telegram came in hot
haste from Senator Fairsbanks in
which he said how glad he was to
run on the same ticket with the
President. A cordial reply follow
ed. After this congratulations be-
gan to pour in from all quarters;
from the Indiana delegation in
Congress; from Whitelaw Reid;
from Senators Aldrich, Alger, and
even Senator Smoot, while the
citizens of Oyster Bay said they
were firing guns and illuminating
their houses. The formal notifica-
tion of the nomination will be made
at Oyster Bay, July 27, for which
place Mrs. Roosevelt left yesterday
The nominating speeches made at
Chicago, and the platform adopted
give universal satisfaction and are
as of the highest charac-
ter and of the utmost importance

WHILE the smaller fry of the
Democratic party are not let into
the councils of the leaders, yet there
are some things which are used as
means to keep their enthusiasm
aroused, that are given out for
them to talk about,a and the disfran-
chisement of the negroes is one of
them; but that would constitute
but a small part of the scheme,
should they have the power to leg
islate given them at the next cleo
ton, and the certain disfranchise-
meht of the illiterate by the enact
ment of an intricate ballot law,
would make voting an impossible
ity to any but those whom they de-
sired to cast a ballot. The old wolf
of 1873 is under cover now but the
opportunity to raid the sheep fold
would be pounced upon, and good
government soon be a memory of
the past. 1t is we'll to keep these
facts in mind.
Milford chronicle., 1904-07-01

IT is surprising that the owners
of land, and that large class of
men who rent farms, and who use
the public roads largely should toll
crate the places in these thorough
fares where the sand makes it al
most impossible for a team to pull
a loaded wagon through it without
undue strain and struggle at the
expense of energy on the part of
the animal. 1t is true that the
people pay their taxes for road
purposes, and it is also true that the
proportional parts as set apart by
the levy courts are spent OH these
roads; but that does not meet the
question or alter the fact that these
sandy places remain. In the COM
munity living in Prime Hook and
Slaughter Necks, there should be,
and there is,-if it can be aroused
to take action, a public interest in
that bed of sandy road extending
from the Brick Granary around to
the home of Mr.. Jones, near the
Slaughter Neck Church. No
amount of temporary work in the
way of repairs, will ever avail to do
away with this embargo on traffic
between those Necks and Milford.
Wagons hauling fruit, vegetables,
grain, hay, phosphate and all other
heavy loads, are now compelled to
plow through two miles of sandy
road, and this costs the farmer
money every year. If each indi-
vidual will contribute a FIVE dollar
bill toward general fund for the
purpose, that road can be rounded
over and q coating of stone similar
to that used on the road a few years
past at the entrance to South Mil
ford and most farmers from Slaugh-
ter and Prime Hook Necks remem-
Der the sandy condition of that es-
pecial piece of roadway. 1t may
be possible that the State Highway
Commission and the Levy Court
can be induced to assist in this
work; but from the expensive way
they are building roads, it would be
cheaper for the farmers to do the
entire work in their own way, as it
will last for many years if done as
the town did the work referred to
and costs less than a tenth of the
money that the roads are requiring
as built by the State and county.
Milford chronicle., 1904-07-01

We suggest that the Commissioner
for this district take an active part
on this movement, and see if the
First Representative district can
not set an example to the balance
of the county in good roads.

"CARRIE NATIONIZED" SALOON
DR.. Hoover's Team Tried to Smash
up the Palace Saloon Monday
Evening.

There was something doing at
the Palace soloon for few minutes
about 7 o'clock last Monday night.
The first thought Of the occupants
was that Carrie Nation had sudden
" struck town. and lnaugurated a
saloon demolishing tour. They
quickly discovered, however, that
DR.. Hoover's frisky team was the
cause of the disturbance. The doc
tor had hitched snp preparatory to
gong to Bennington to assist some
of the republican candidates in
opening the campaign. The team
was tied in front of the Burgoyne
and d. g. Kunz, candidate for pro-
bate judge, was waiting in the back
seat for the balance of the party.
Suddenly the horses gave lunge,
broke the hitching strap and started
down Nam street at furious gait.
On reaching the corner of O'Con-
nor's saloon they were going so fast
that they could not make the turn
north, to 60 to Hoover's barn, so
they ran into the front of the saloon,
which brought them to sudden
stop. The casing on the west side
of the door was smashed by the
wagon tongue, and the lower win
dow panes in both windows were
shattered.
Fortunately no one was injured,
but one of the horses was slightly
cut about the neck by the shattered
glass. Ed O'Connor, however, had
narrow escape. He was standing
at the cigar case, near the window,
and some of the flying fragments of
wood tore long strip out of his
pants. For a second or two Ed
thought his time had come, but af-
ter recovering from the shock he
found that the rip in his pants was
the extent of the damage to him.
The damage to the building
amounted to about $50.

election as treasurer would be a just
recognition of her sex as the ladies
are now potent factor in politics,
and reward for her faithful party
services in the past. The women
of Bear Lake county should see to
it that Mrs. Beckman is elected by
good majority.
M. F. Whitman, nominee for
county superintendent of schools, is
the present incumbent and he has
proven himself to be most capable
official. Mr.. Whitman ls an old
resident of the county, and taught
school for nine years here, being
principal of the lower Montpelier
school for four years of that time.
Before coming to Idaho he taught
school IN Ohio and Wisconsin.
During his term as county superin-
tendent he has labored earnestly for
the upbuild1ng Of our public schools.
He is universally liked by the teach
ers of the county, which of itself is
a sufficient endorsement to warrant
his reelection. When thoroughly
competent person is secured for
county superintendent of schools he
should be retained IN office indefin-
itely. In the person of Mr.. Whit
man we believe that the county has
an official who is not only compe-
tent but Is striving hard to keep our
schools up to the high standard for
which the schools Of Idaho are
known beyond the borders of the
state. Els experience during the
past two years will enable MIN to
do even better work during the next
two years. As recognition of the
good work Mr.. Whitman Is doing,
the people should honor him with a
reelection by a rousing majority.
Walter Hoge, nominee for sher-
if, is the present deputy and he has
also served as deputy under former
administrations. This makes him
thoroughly acquainted with the
duties of the sheriff. He is one of
the early settlers of the county, and
has always been interested in It's
advancement. He has proven him
self to be fearless in the discharge
of his duties as a peace officer, and
If elected he can be depended upon
to strictly enforce the laws. The
voters of Bear Lake county will
make no mistake IN electing Walter
Hoge sheriff.

THEY ARE WELL QUALIFIED.
A Few Words Concerning Some Of
Of the Next Officers Of Bear
Lake County.

James t. Dunford, the republi-
can nominee for assessor and tax
collector is native of Bear Lake
county, having been born in Bloom
ington, where he now resides, in
1866. He is the youngest of seven
sons, five Of whom own important
holdings in this county. In his
youth Mr.. Dunford attended the
district school in Bloomington. In
. l886-s7 he attended the university
Of Utah and in 1894 he graduated
from the B. Y. Academy of Provo.
For IA years Mr.. Dunford was con-
sidered as one Of the very best teach
ers in the county, having taught the
schools at Paris, Ovid, Bennington
and St. Charles, and one year he
taught at Stafford, Arizona. A few
months ago he returned from Eng
land, where he filed mission for
two years and half, presiding over
the Nottingham conference during
his last year there.
To successfully discharge the dut-
les of assessor man should have a
thorough education, be good pen
man and have an intimate knowledge
of property values of all kinds.
Mr.. Dunford possesses all of these
qualifications, and we have every
reason to believe that if elected he
will assess the property Of Bear
Lake county in an honest and equit-
able manner. In addition to his
superb qualifications, Mr.. Dunford
Is man of pleasing appearance and
affable manners, one with whom it
will be pleasure to transact business.
The only lady on either ticket in
Bear Lake county this year is Louisa
J. Beckman, the republican nominee
for treasurer. Mrs. Beckman is no
stranger to the people of the county
as she has resided here for the past
twelve years. To some of the older
residents she will be remem bered as
Miss Louisa Reynolds, as whom she
taught school in the county for two
wears. Mrs. Beckman is natiye of
Pennsylvania and before coming to
Idaho she taught school four years
in that state. Her ability to keep
the books Of the county as treasurer,
cannot be questioned. When at
tending school she took thorough
course in bookkeeping and for five
wears she kept the hooks tor large
mercantile establishment at Reyn-
oldsvllle. Penn. She has always
been an ardent republican and in
every campaign in Idaho, since
women have had the right of suf
fraee. she has worked for the sue
cess of the republican party. Her
