The copper era., 1905-10-12

THERE has been much in the pa pers of late in regard to bringing in hofdes of Mexicans, under con- tract, through the port of Fl Paso. They are of the, common laboring class, and are distributed pretty generally throughout the southwest. This work has been going on for years but the recent demand for la 1boF-has been so pressing as to make it more noticeable than heretofore. This labor is mosttlfyyu used in railroad construction and work of-that class. It has been carried to such an exteHt that gangs of Mexicans are seen on railroad work throughout Texas, Oklahoma, Indian Territory and Kan sas, Apparently one of the most ~flagrant violations of the law in re- gard to the importation of labor un- der contract, occurred very recently when one hundred Mexicans were landed at Roosevelt to be employed on government work. The labor market of Mexico is being drained by the United States, greatly to the detriment of the American laborer, who must remain idle, or accept the same wage paid the Mexicans. The Mexicans are not the only ones com ing into this country under contract, for others are being entered through every port. They are by no means confined to the common laboring class. but include in their numbers skilled artizans of all classes. There are ample laws to stop this outrageous business but they are not enforced. 1t is wonder labor unions generally do not take an interest in this inn portant matter, and see that stop is put to it.

STRIKING CRIME
AT THE tai. ROOT.
GOV. VARDAMAN INSISTS THAT LOCAL
OFFICIALS DO THEIR DUTY.
Wants Them to Suppress Blind Tigers,
Gamblers and Migrants.

jackson, July 1.-the Cover
nor has been receiving inquiries
from several counties Of the State
asking if there was any way for
the State to assist in ferreting out
blind tigers. One of these letters
requests the Governor to send
Detective Hoyt to the county and
details a bad state Of affairs. The
Governor replied that Detective
Hoyt is now otherwise engaged
on some State business, but that
his services might be available
later. He also said that he hoped
She people Of the State would rise
Iup en- masse against the blind
tiger and forever drive him from
/ the borders of Mississippi. He
said that the lax enforcement Of
the laws furnishing misdemeanors
was the cause of ninetenths of all
the greater crimes or felonies. If
the courts and the people will see
to it that every violator of the
liquor laws and gaming laws and
vagrant laws is properly and Sc
verely punished to the fullest
extent of the law, then the per-
centage of greater crimes will be
reduced nine-tenths or more.
Many of the blind tigers in the
rural counties are now reported to
be dispensing cocaine. 1t is GER
tain that the cocaine habit is
spreading among the country me-
groes. It has heretofore been.
confined entirely to the cities and
towns and only the larger ones at
that. But now cocaine sprees are
common among the country ne
groes, and IN nearly all cases
crime follows its use. 1t is the
same with whisky and with the
crap dens, and almost invariably

tion that it occurred at a crap.

Tiger whisky or cocaine. Gov.
Vardaman is endeavoring to inn
press upon the courts and officers
of the law that the first step must
be prevented. If gambling is
permitted or blind tigers are per-
United by a lax enforcement of
the laws and light penalties, mur-
lder and criminal assaults and 9TH
er hideous crimes are going to be
the result.

GREENWOOD IS STIRRED.

Greenwood, July /. There is
great Indignation here at the
course of the postoHice depart

does, he may be argued" out of
the notion of accepting an ap-
