Clay Mccartney by four laps. Taylo
of Glendale was the only opponent.

NOTES.
The bowery and merry-go-round did
business all the time and lots of it.
The Oakes and Edgeley bands joined
forces and the music was superb. The
Oakes organization was strengthened
yesterday to twenty pieces.
About all the editors in the country
around were here. There was Hancock
of Edgeley, Taylor of LaMoure, Parker
and Warner of Dickey, and Hurry of
Forman.
The C. M. C.. and Klein & Sutmar
had the handsomest window displays.
On account of the heaviness of the
track both horse races were postponed
until yesterday.
A. j. -Schunk, and band of the
Aberdeen braves, came up Tuesday to
assist in the parade.
A great deal of credit is due C. E.
Ware and his band Of braves for the
big celebration. They took the matter
up and were willingly assisted by the
business men.

While lighting fire at her home
early Tuesday morning Mrs. Fred Olson
received burns which will undoubtedly
prove fatal. She is now lying in the
Oakes hospital in very critical condi-
tion.
She had intended using kerosene to
hurry the kitchen fire, but instead got
hold of the can of gasoline. The room
was soon filled with fire and the woman
ran out of the house enveloped in flames.
Before the fire could be extinguished
the clothes were about burned off the
woman. The three children in the
house were gotten out safely, but with
out their clothing and the residence and
all in it burned to the ground. Mr..
Olson sleeps in the granary during the
summer months and was not in the
house when the accident occurred.
Commissioner Stenquist circulated a
petition yesterday and in a short time
raised $35 to get clothes for the chill
dren and other necessaries. 1t is. a sad
case, indeed.

For tt1e Profession Of "Rubes0

Somebody in Kansas proposes to or
ganize a "Buttinsky Society for the
Protection of Rubes." The "rube" is a
well known species of the genus homo.
He generally, but not always. halls
from the rural districts, and is distin
guished for getting robbed when he
comes to the city. Not all country
men, by any means, are "rubes." The
majority OF them are as thoroughly
ION to. themselves" as anybody. The
"rube" may be spotted by his fondness
for touring the dives, exhibiting his
'wad" every time he spends ten cents,
and cultivating warm friendships with
the most villainous toughs whom he
chances to meet. The usual result is
that he is subsequently found in a
dark alley with bruised head and
empty pockets. 1t is difficult to see
how a "buttinsNy''k society can help
him out, because he generally knows
it all How would it do to raise a
fund for supplying him with a daily
newspaper? By getting posted on the
ways of the world he could avoid
trouble. In any city there are plenty
of ways of having good time with
out rushing into the jaws of thievery
and thuggery.

be just, such restrictions must oper-
ate on all men alike, allowing each
man just such privileges as his own
qualities command, not what his own
color or his grandfather's status pre-
scribes. 1t was the vital fault of both
the old and the new "Know Nothing
ism that they did not do this. The
old Americans as they called Them
selves, thought less of protecting their
inherited virtues than of avoiding
competition with persons of different
origin who were becoming just as vir-
tuous." Then follows a sentence which
is concise, compact and luminous in
its statement Of the vital issue in

1.-THE new champions of white SUI

pionship of white supremacy will do

of a long continuance of this policy.

is not measure OF the current
monthly literature of Japan. The list
does serve pretty well, however, to
show what the Japanese men of let

in these times of heroic war.
One of the magazines deals mainly
with libraries. the reading habit, and
into the subject OF raising money to
educate those children whose fathers
have gone to the war, and also urges
the use Of Roman letters for writing
Japanese; a third discusses the inter
national relations of education, argu-
ing that study by rote, and a tendency
to keep the scholar in the shades of
antiquity, are not so useful for a mod
ern state. or a state that would be
modern, as it is to make the school
fresh and vivid with the impulses and
questions of the present time. thus
bringing the scholars into an intellec-
tual relation to their international en-
vironment; the fourth is a sort OF in
ternational magazine between China
and Japan; and the fifth goes into a
critical examination of the efforts to
translate japanese poetry into Eng
Iish. making the point that the Eng
lish language is like the European
costume, cut to a fixed rule. whereas
the japanese language has all the
freedom and flexibility of the japanese
dress. and concluding that the three
scholars who have attempted TO trans
late to English the recently published
imperial poems have all failed to re-
produce the charm of the originals"
Let us now see what the books are
about. One deals with Sanitation in
Schools" Another is a translation of
Meredith Townsend's Asia and Eu-
rope" a third deals with Farming
in Korea" The fourth is a kind of
metaphysical work, treating of the
work and influence of a native phil
osopher; and the fifth, entitled. Port

roism and suffering involved in the
capture of that fortress from the Rus

Degrading to the Whites:

The grandfather clauses" in some
Of the southern election laws have
been compared by Secretary Bona
parte with the old know Nothing
movement. Both are based on the doc
trine that a mans rights to the priv
ileges of citizenship should be deter
mined by his ancestry rather than his
own character and capabllity.
The parallel may not be precise but
it fits the case very closely. The
know Nothings" sought to exclude
from citizenship and the suffrage all
persons not of pure American stock.
The grandfather clauses base the
right to vote, not on merit and fit
ness, but on a descent from those
who possessed that right forty or If
~ years ago. This, of course takes
in the entire white population of the
south and excludes the negro popula-
ton. 1t is a device for lodging the
Fifteenth amendment to the constitu-
ton of the United States. which pro-

SOUTH AGAINST SLAVERY.
Southern People Unite to Suppress the
Evil of Peonage.

Frnrs Tom watson's Magazine.
In the educated and enlightened south OF
today, forty years from Appomattox Court
House. any sort of human slavery is as OBJ
noxious as it is anywhere else on the globe.
The southern people are intensely Jererso-
MAN in all things. and no matter with how
much skepticism the statement may be
read elsewhere. 1t is nevertheless true that
this section is today practically unit In
opposition to any sort of human slavery.
Let those that have been disposed to
hold the entire south responsible for the
brutal cruelties shown to have been prac-
tieed in certain localities take sane view
of the situation, IL possible. and analyze
It. The peonage laws. while they are being
enforced in th5 United States courts, are
being enforced by the people of the south.
Without grand jury IN sympathy with the
court no indictments can be returned:
without traverse jury willing to enforce
the law no convictions can be secured The
juries are made up of southern people,
largely white people. The membership Is
principally of those who hold to the pre-
vailing political faith of the south. The
judges who have dealt with the peonage
question in the trial courts are with one
exception southern men, and while they
do not all belong to the same political
party, they all hold the same views ON the
negro QUESTION. Three OF them were In
the confederate army.
