it might be well to mentiOn that in
the legislature this session there is a
great cutlery against the great cost

ment. In Silver Bow the people in
their prosperity do not seem to feel
the heavy taxes as they are feeling
the burden in every other portion of
the state. That is why bills have
been introduced in the legislature
with probability of passage which will
tend greatly to relieve the weight of
taxation. The salaries of county Of
ficers, under the provisions of the re-
classification of counties bill, will re-
duce salaries generally throughout the
state. Another bill which has been
introduced is that of Representative
Bennett, placing limit on the mum.
Der of deputies which can be employ.
ed in each county. This will reduce
the number of deputies one-half in gen.
eral, and while it may crimp the Off
GERS in many counties of the state
to get along with so little help. the
members of the legislature seem to
be of the view that they can
get along with less help If they
have to do SO, and they propose that
they shall do SO. An honest effort was
also made to cut down the graft OF
sheriff's for transporting prisoners tc
the penitentiary at Deer Lodge, but II
seems very probable that this graf
will be permitted to stick. Instead Of
crimping the poor sheriffs, the Repub

proper Treatment of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is to dangerous disease
for anyone to attempt to doctor him
self, although he may have the proper
remidies at hand. A physician should
always be called. 1t should be borne
in mind, however, that pneumonia al
always results from cold or from an
attack of the grip, and by the proper
treatment of these diseases threaten
ed attack Of pneumonia may be ward
ed off There is no question whatever
about this, as during the thirty years
and more that Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy has been used, We have yet TO
learn of single case of a cold or at
tack of the grip having resulted in
pneumonia when this remedy was used.
1t is also used by physicians in the
treatment of pneumonia with the best
results. DR.. w. j. Smith, of Sanders,
Ala, who is also a druggist, says Of
it: 81 have been selling Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy and prescribing

| use it in cases of pneumonia and

PRESIDENT in THE SOUTH.

THE APPEAL cannot agree with
the few AfrO-American papers which
insist that the Presidents recent visit
interests of the race.
The tone of his speeches was the
same in the South as it was in the
North
President Roosevelt has always in
sisted that impulse should be subordi-
nate to law and in his speech at Lit
tie Rock, he administered scathing
rebuke to that blatant demagogue Gov
ernor jeff Davis who endeavored to
make a defence of lynch law.
Turning directly to the Governor the
President gave his remarks a person
al application. He said: "To avenge
one hideous crime by another is to
reduce the avenger to the bestial lev
cl. Another thing which makes this
lynch law so abhorrent is that three
fourths of the crimes for which it is
invoked are for others than that
against the women of the country.
Governor. you and and all others
in authority owe it to our people to
drive out the reproach- and the menace
of lynch law in the United States
He continued 'Treat each man ac-
cording to his worth as man. Dis
trust all who would have any one class
placed before any other. Other re-
publics have fallen because the un-
scrupulous have substituted loyalty to
class for loyalty to the people as a
whole.

recent campaign in which German

or and to subject the state to con-
troll in which the vampires would have
held conspicuous place. So long as
such instances can be quoted from such
journals as the Chronicle and the Sun,
of things existing in such cities as Bal
timore and Chicago, the talk about the
depravity Of the Afro-American is IN
meaning defamation or wanton mis-
representation.
The Afro-American has many and
grievous faults, but in many species
Of depravity, his Caucasian brother
may justly claim an immense superior
ity. And this comment applies as
forcibly to the upper grades of society
as it does to that of the slums.

INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS,

The Boston Herald is somewhat dis
'giruntled at the view Iof industrial
schools taken by the organized labor
interests Of the state of Massachu
sets. It says:
"The statements made by the rep
resentatives of organized labor at
the hearing given at the State House
on the question of industrial instruc
ton were disheartening evidences OF
the distinctly biased wayi in which a
great public question is considered by
this class of the community"
On the part of the defense, the Her
aid asserts:
''The plan which has been suggest
ed of industrial instruction is not in.
tended to turn out, as is alleged, "half
baked' mechanics. No one imagines
|that a boy serving in a mechanical
training school can become skilled
!joWneyman in any trade. What he
can acquire, however, is a training

and an intellectual comprehension OF
material facts which will enable him
after actual practice at work to be.
come in relatively short time a vast
ly better workman than he could ever
hope to become if simply brought up
in one narrow section of trade"
We think the Herald is perfectly
correct in asserting that the real
ground of the objection of the organic
ed laborites was the fear the industri
al schools would "overstock the trades
and thus interfere with their monopo.
ly. To this objection the Herald makes
the following reply:
Cone way in which, in the absence
of raw materials of all kinds, we in
New England may hope to hold our
own industrially is in the superior in
telligence, efficiency and industry OF
our working people, these merits en-.
abling us to perform many kinds OF
work which, in consequence of the alb.
sence of this class of labor, cannot be
successfully undertaken elsewhere.ii

department of industry does superior

tant function than in mechanical work

At Tuskegee the President said
among other things:
TO the white, population as well
as to the black, it is the utmost i'm
portance that the Afro American be
encouraged to make himself citi-
zen of the highest type of usefulness.
Within the last twenty years the
industrial operations of the South
have increased so tremendously that
| there is scarcity of labor almost ev-
erywhere: so that it is the part Of
! wisdom for all who wish the prospect
ty OF the South to help the Afro-Am-
erican become in the highest degree
useful to himself, and therefore to the
community in which he lives. The
South has always depended and, now
depends chiefly upon her native po-
pulation Tor her work. Therefore, in
view Of the scarcity not only Of COM
mon labor, but of skilled labor, it be-
comes doubly important to train ev-
cry available man to be the utmost
use by developing his intelligence,
his skill and his capacity for con-
scientious effort. Hence the work of
the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial
institute is matter, of the highest
practical Importance to both the white
man and the black man and we'll
worth the support of both races alike
in the South and in the North.
Viewed from any angle, ignorance
is the costliest crop that can be rails
ed. in any part of this Union. Every
dollar put into the education of either
white man or black man, in head, in
hand and in heart, yields rich divi-
dends to the entire community Mere
/ ly from the economic standpoint, it is
of the utmost Importance to all our
citizens that institutions such as this
at Tuskegee should be success"
But there are other and even high
err reasons that entitle it to our sup
port. In the interest of humanity Of
justice and of self-protection, every
| white man in America, no matter
where he lives, should try to help the
Afro-American to help himself. 1t is
in the interest and Tor the protection
of the white man to see that the Afro
American is educated
1T is not only the duty of the white
man. but it is to his interest to see
that the Afro-American is protected
in property, in life and in all his legal
rights. Every time a law is broken,
every individual in the community
has the moral tone of his life lowered.
In his utterances President Roose-
welt made it clear that he still stands
for square deal" for every man re-
CARELESS of his race or creed.

MAY BE MORE CHARITABLE.

We have noticed the interesting
fact that since the revelations in re-
gard to the New York methods OF con,
Quoting insurance companies, the facts
about the Oregon Congressional dele,
cation, Mrs. Chadwick's financiering
and so on, the newspapers have not
given us one good long dissertation
upon the dishonesty of the Afro-Amer-
lean; and we infer that our Caucasian
brother has concluded that it is not
we'll for one living in glass house to
be too reckless in throwing stones.
This encourages us to hope that ne
may be induced to be more charitable
in his opinion of the Afro-American
as to other species of immortality by
quoting from his own newspapers
some accounts of his own delinquency
i'll that particular.
We need not mention the brutality
of the game of football nor the hazlng
in colleges, for these are beginning to
be quite generally condemned; but
there are some other points which
seem to be worthy of special mention,
to which we call attention.
Everybody knows that Chicago has
many beautiful parks upon which
many thousands of dollars have been
expended. The Chicago Chronicle is
led to advocate the fencing of these
parks for the following reasons:
''Some of the parks have become
worse than useless. Their beautiful
recesses, from being places OF rest
and recreation and aesthetic enjoy,
ment, have become scenes of crime
and debauchery. In the night time in
some of them there is neither decency
nor safety. In some places where a
park is bordered by dense shrubbery
the danger of robbery on the sidewalks
| is PAINFULLY apparent. In these days
of unrestrained highway robbery it is
almost as much as a mans life is
worth to walk alone in such places
at night. AS for women, the farther
they keep away from them the better
The foregoing is surely terrible
picture one that should excite the
indignation of any decent man of any
/ race.
But it is even surpassed by the fol
lowing from the Baltimore Sun, which
refers to recent report of Maryland
grand jury.
NEARLY every woman in this un.
! fortunate class. says the grand jury
| 'has dependent upon her a worthless
male person, whose shelter, subsist.
