A NEGRO STATE.

The more we think about this
subject the more we are convinced
that it is not only possible, but
that it would be an easy matter
for the colored people to make
Oklahoma and Indian Territory a
state under their own control and
management; where all the oppor-
tunities and advantages of any
other American would be theirs.
That it was originally intended
that these tracts of land were to
be held for the exclusive use of
colored people and Indians is
shown by the language of the
treaty by which this land was ac-
quired. Freedmen and friendly
Indians" is the term used in de-
scribing those to whom the land
was to be held for allotment. But
as years went by the eye of the
avaricious Caucasian fell ON these
woodlands and fertile prairies, and
so Freedmen and friendly In
dians" was interpreted to mean
Friendly Indians and their
freedmen. There were not
enough of these to occupy this
vast tract and so it opened for set
tlement. A large number of these
were colored and all have proven
their claims and the titles to them
have passed to the individual own
ers. This territory is compara-
lively new and contains no large
cities, and because of this, prop
erty there is cheap as compared
with this section of the country.
Surely the right to buy real estate
is not yet denied us. We confess
that we should like to see 100000
colored families buy property in
that section of the country. This
only requires desire on the part
of this number. 1t does not re-
quire much foresight to see the
numerous opportunities that
would be before the colored young
man or woman in such COM
munity. We believe that under
the same circumstances any other
race would gladly embrace such
an opportunity to promote their

For Negro to control political
appointments in a metropolitan
city is something quite out of the
ordinary but such is the case at
Wilmington, Delaware, where
Thomas E. Postles, Negro who
was recently elected to the city
council on the Republican ticket.
with Postles the council is COM
posed of seven Republicans and
six Democrats, but Postles is now
the boss Of the whole bunch.
Monday night he bolted the Re-
publican caucas and made a deal
with the Democrats and as a re-
suit five of Postles' nominees were
elected for city positions two of
whom were Negroes his SON JOS
eph E. was made clerk in the city
treasurers office. Geo. Anderson
will be bailiff of the Council.

it's only a street fight or penny gan:

In the South we are pretty free
from graft, but as we become
wealthier and our resources are
exploited to greater extent, we
can expect that there viii be more

it can be put down is for public
opinion to come down as hard on
the bribe giver as the bribe taker.

CORRUPTION IN PUBLIC
LIFE.

is indeed a timely slap to the men
high up in the financial world who
are bettering their financial condi-
ton by the practice of graft
President Roosevelt with his big
stick is hot on the trail of bunch
of such men and it is hoped by
the honest public that he will be
successful in paralyzing their eff
forts. There is perhaps nothing
that retards the progress of the
general masses more than that of
corrupt financial deals. The News
says:
There is an old saying which
many have denied, that every man
has his price, but the disclosures
that are being made from time to
time in this country have proved
to many that the saying Is true
one. The News does not hold this
theory. 1t believes that there are
Just as many honest men in the
world now as there was hundred
years ago, but it believes that the
increase in population has largely
increased the grafters. If there Is
any one thing that the American
people have to fight and fight hard,
it is grating. If grating is not
put down, we can expect that this
country will 90 on the toboggan-
No real progress towards things
that are higher can be made while
men in business life and men in
public life are grafters. Graft
ing has sprung up on all sides of
us lust now. We see men high up
in the financial world, who are di-
rectors in railroads and insurance
companies, not satisfied with a
legitimate per cent, engaged in all
kinds Of shady transactions with
other peoples money in order that
they may increase their own
wealth. We see the trusts and big
corporations buying city councils
and legislatures as if they were so
much merchandise. The men who
do the buying are high up in the
social scale, they are men who pro-
fess the belief in the teachings OF
the lowly Nazarine, but they do
not hesitate to approach poor
devil of legislator or a council
man, who has not one spare dollar,
and who is probably in debt, to
sell out his honor and the inter
ests of his constituents, and for
what purpose Why, in order that
big business corporations may
amass greater amounts of money,
pay their stockholders higher divi-
dends and become the masters of
the city or state. The heads OF
these corporations are apparently
more willing to buy up the men,
bers of city council or a state
legislature than they are to pay
the people as awhole for the priv
ileges they ask. In discussing this
question of graft, we are liable to
vent all of our contempt on the
poor wretch who has been caught
selling his honor than we are to
condemn the big business man
who, free from want and care,
with his millions invested in splen-
did paying securities, surrounded
By all that money can buy and So
cial distinction confer, has delib-
erately gone to work to tempt a
poor man who is struggling and
who happens to have been elected
to some public Office of honor and
trust.
This man is a worse CRATER than
the man who sells his vote. There
may be some human excuse for the
councilman selling his vote, if
viewed in the light of mercy, but
there is none for the rich man who
has been his downfall. He bought
him in order that he might get
of value cheaper by
