The legislature is going to be
bothered with some more Price
Raid Claims this session. The
amount asked is $37o,175.19. The
governor, auditor and special com
missioner, who constitute the Price
Raid Claim Commission, have
recommended that they be paid in
full and that, we presume, settles
it. 1t doesn't appear that this is
going to be such very economical
legislature after all.

ROOSEVELT has been shouting

HE old argument employed by
political grafters that two wrongs
make a right has been revived by
the sponsor of the public leeches in
Barber county. There would be a
fine opportunity for an enterprising
and fame-loving county attorn-

double the amount" if a democrat
had been the beneficiary.

PEABoDY's contest for the gov
ernorship in Colorado is without
precedent for gall. He asks
for recount in only those
precincts which gave pluralities
for Governor Adams, his opponent,
and if a fraudulent vote be found,
either republican or democrat,
throw out the entire precinct. He
is bitterly opposed to recounting
republican precincts. Gov. Adams,
in his reply, asks that all the pre-
cincts be recounted and that all the
fraudulent votes, and no others, be
thrown out regardless as to wheth-
er they are republican or democrat

He has never been interviewed, has
never been banqueted and is even said
to have refused immense sums OF money

a book on what he himself modestly
styled "a new kind of ray" Like many
other investigators of his race, he car

looks more like q man who has led
healthy outdoor life than one who has
spent the whole Of his manhood in in
Testigating strange physical problems.

Alderman Daniel v. Harkin OF the
18th Ward has Made such a splendid
record in the City Council for the
past two years that all factions In
his ward are united and will hand
him the nomination on q silver plat
ter, and they will pull, on their coats
and assist to return him, to the City
Council.
The Colored Republicans Of the End
Ward are nothing more nor less than
q lot of political moral towards. II
they were not, they would nominate
and elect an Afro-American from that
ward to the City Council and permit
Alderman Charlie Alling to devote all
his time to studying his Sunday
School lessons. q
Early Monday morning a telegram
was received in Chicago from St
Louis, announcing the death of Mr..
Granvill Harden, whom many Chica-
goans will remember as a one time
race benefactor. For years Mr.. Har-
den was head waiter for H. H. Kohl
saat and gave employment to many of
the boys when cold and hungry.
]. w. Wheeler who claims to be the
editor of the Palladium, st. Louis, Mo.
runs the Red Bud or Red Horse
mission" in that city presumably for
graft, and that is the reason the Lily
white Leaders of the Republican party
in Old Mo, laid away from Wheeler
for they knew that he is full of hot
air and CAB. 1t might have also oc-
Cured to the Lily White bosses
that Deacon Wheeler's handsome
mug, would be just the thing to hang
up in the field as a scare crow to
brighten the birds away from eating
the corn.
William H. Clark who stands well
with his Afro-American brethren
throughout the End Ward can make a
successful race for the city council,
and defeat the reelection of Alderman
Charles Alling, whose chief stock in
trade when it comes down TO doing
anything for the Colored People is
the glad hand and a broad smile"
but in these cold days no one can buy
coal and meat with Alderman Alling
stock in trade, and if all the Leading
Democrats in the End Ward will act
like true men they will nominate and
stand by Will Clark, for he could
succeed smiling Charley in the city
council.
