a RADICAL CHANGE IS DESIRED

Anent the cotton bureau inVesti.
CATION and the part taken therein
by the Southern Cotton ,Associa-
ton, Washington Dispatch has
the following:
1t is declared that the association
cares little for what has been done,
but is deeply concerned as to what
will be done. The statement calls
for a radically change in the de
partment and urges the members
of the association to make similar
demands through their representa-
tiVes in congress.
These remarks are embodied in
q statement just issued tn ere by
President HarVie Jordan and
Secretary Richard Cheatham, OF
the Southern Cotton Association.
"There is a manifest endeavoI
at this time to divert attention
from radical errors and deficiencies
of the department itself to the
thieving propensities of few un-
worthy officials. There is an at
tempt to punish anybody who can
be found as a scapegoat. "

THE NEGRO, NORTH AND SOUTH

The New York Sun has opened
its columns to a discussion of the
attitude of the white people of the
North and South to the negro.
There have been number of very
interesting communications pub
llshed on this subject, taking var
ious views. The Sun is struck by
the fact thatithe letters from South
ern writer's express very different
views, the older men generally ex-
pressing most friendly sentiments
towards the cOlOred race, the
younger ones adopting a far less
friendly and, in some cases, a de-
cidedly unfriendly attitude. The
Sun is able to appreciate that the
difference is due not to the senti-
ment of the whites alone, but the
very marked changes that have
come over many of the negroes
The older writer's think of the
negroes of ante bellum days; when
writing the younger men recall
the colored product of reconstruc-
ton days. The Sun reaches the
conclusion that the South is per.
haps as fair to the inferior race
as the North.

There is little reason to doubt
that Mr.. Harvie Jordan, president
of the Southern Cotton Growers
Association. made a mistake in
taking it upon himself to request
President Roosevelt to dismiss
Secretary Wilson from the gov
eminent service and appoint anoth-
er man as the head of the Agricul-
tural Department. Such a de
mand should not have been made
at all, until it had received the
sanction of the executive com
mittee of the Southern Cotton
Growers Association, and even
then there is no reason to believe
that the President would have ac-
ceded to it.

LET MOVEMENT BE COMPLETE


One of the best suggestions re-
lative to the enforcement of thel
laws against vagrancy, and which
the Times Recorder heartily in
dorses, comes from that sterling
industrial publication, The Trades
man, which is in excellent position
to note the needs of the farmers
and employing classes in the
South. United effort is called for
to the end of making the movement
general.
These idling classes, white and
black, are a menace to any city
for nothing is more true than that
idleness begets CRIME, and vagrancy
IS a crime under the laws of every
ate now.
Let there be general movement
against vagrancy, and let the coun-
,yand city authorities act together
A sentence of thirty or sixty days
on the public roads, or the city
work gang, with privilege of
having this sentence committed if
a regular job is taken, will go
very far towards relieving the
whole situation.
This will put the friends of these
idlers to work to secure their re-
lease, and farmers and contractors
can apply to these local authorities
and obtain such as they can use.
There are dilapidated fences, dirty
streets, weeds and trash scattered
around in all onr cities that would
add greatly to the public health if
cleaned up, to say nothing of the
vast improvement of the general
appearance in these places from
such a policy.
| Letus have no halfway meas
ures, but make the job complete.
What is worth doing at all is worth
doing well, and the south is in
/, better position now to undertake a
] general house cleaning movement,
as it were, than ever before, and
, no hesitation should exist in any
. quarter to bring such a move into
active operation.
. The idea of permitting great
crowds Of negroes to loaf around
the saloons of our towns and cities
is "a crying shamel that should
: bring the blush to the cheek o.
every man among us, and yet this
: scene is one of continuous perform
ance all over the south.
Here is work of more thar
passing value to the entire South

PRIVATE CAR LINES.

Representatives Of the Swift. Armour
and Dold Packing Companies and the
Mcdowell Stock Car Company appeared
before the State Board of Railroad AS
SCISSORS at Topeka, Kansas, last week to
explain their failure to make complete
reports of their private car lines as re-
quired by the law passed at the recent
session of the Legislature. They said
it was impossible for them to comply
with the law, as they had not been
keeping their records in way to make
the obtaining of the information easy.
The Board gave them until May 10 70
make the report. The law says it shall
be turned in by March of each year.
Commenting on the above the Sacra-
mento Bee says: The interior of re-
frigerator Car is never SO cool as the ex-
cuse made by private car line in Kan
sas for It's failure TO make a statement
to the Board of Railroad Assessors as re-
quired by law-that the books had not
been kept in a way to make the giving
of the information easy. If the official
who gave that excuse could be kept in a
refrigerator car, icing might be dis
pensed with. even in the hottest
weather.
The private car lines operating in Me-
vada neither make returns to the State
Board of Assessors nor pay cent in
taxes for the privilege of doing business

HEINZE WINS MINNIE HEALY.
Decision in Case Involving Rich Cop
per Mine in Montana.

per Mine in Montana.
At Helena. Mont, on April 20 the
Supreme Court of Montana for a second
time awarded the Minnie Healey mine
in Butte to f. Augustus Heinze. Un-
less some Federal question can be found
upon which to base an appeal to the
United States Supreme Court, the
great copper property, worth many
millions of dollars, will now pass into
the permanent possession of the Anal
gamated Company's bitterest foe, after
one of the most sensational legal battles
ever fought in Western courts.
Battle of the Copper Kings.
In 1896 Miles Finlen, backed by Mar.
Gus DAILY, the late copper king. leased
and bonded the Minnie Healey. He
spent $50. 900 in two years without TAX
ing out enough ore to pay the engineers.
Heinze made verbal agreement with
Finlen IN November. 1898, to take over
the bonds and leases for $4,000 and
under the terms of that agreement be
gan working the property. When the
fabulous strike was made in the Minnie
Healy. Finlen rush back to Butte and
with DAILY attempted to regain posses
sions of the mine. Finlen disputed his
verbal agreement with Heinze and in
February of the following year the
suit just decided was commenced by
Finlen for possession of the property.
While the case was pending Finlen
transferred his interest TO the Amalga-
mated, and when a decision was given
to Heinze an appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court. A new trial was granted.
Again Heinze won. The Amalgamated
again appealed. Last weeks decision
affirms the judgment of the lower court,
which in effect was that there was a
verbal contract between Finlen and
Heinze. by which the latter should take
over Finlen's leases and bonds on the
mines.
A million dollars has been spent by
Heinze in defending his title to the
Minnie Healy and the Amalgamated
Copper Company has spent quarter of
million trying to prove ownership.
Millions of dollars worth of copper
and silver have been taken out of the
mine. aud there is now blocked out ore
worth more millions of dollars. Ten
years ago one could have bought the
mine for a song.

The general opinion is that Gates and

with little if any actual loss. as they
were protected by allies in both May

While the sensational series Of rushes
plunged May wheat downward there
was a steady buying movement goin g
