ALARMING NEGRO ATTITUDE.

II Ms deplorable that people are
wrought TO such madness by british
negro crimes that they take the law
into their own hands, as they have
lately done at Waco and Sulphur
Springs. But all preaching seems
vain to deter mobs in Texas or in
Ohio OF New York when the unspeak-
able crime Is committed or attempted.
The Record is not ready TO concede
that II has come to pass that lynching
is the accepted custom, for II is not
Many Texas communities pursue the
orderly course OF the law and they find
It at least as elective in preventing
other crimes as the more horrible ex-
ample which the mobs invent.
However that may be. there is more
and more disposition among "gabby"
negroes to discuss such affairs while
they are at white heat At both Waco
and Sulphur spings there was such
an aftermath. and at both places ser.
ious race troubles were narrowly avert
ed.
II is painful and alarming to oh.
serve the increasing insolence Of idle
and uppish negroes As to this class,
freedom and education have been a
positive injury. for they have thought
nothing Of real aspiration but have
inspired only bestial Indifference
to all that is virtuous with this
class Of negroes the idea grows that
chastity Is an affectation. And not
only do they fail to rebuke the brute
of their race, but actually condone his
offense and go so far as to cast upon
his victim an imputation that is as
maddening as the bestial crime itself.
This is the most hopeless aspect OF
the negro problem-the negro's own
base view of his white neighbor. So
far from learning the deep. desperate
truth of the white mans attitude,
which he formerly accepted without
he now spurns II al.
together In this debasement he pre-
sents a relation that IS without rem
edy of intelligence or patience.
As consequence. IN a few parts OF
the South already he is forbidden TO
enter, much less to abide. In other
places the antagonism IS growing
more and more, and there is no telling
what a few years more may bring to
pass The only hope The Record can
see is instruction and persuasion by
intelligent and thoughtful negroes.
Possibly they can bring their fellows
to see the truth; white men cannot.
The time has passed when the negro
will listen to the white man. and as
yet few negroes voices are raised in
behalf of the virtue by which alone
any race may endure, even apart,
much less in contact with one of SUI
perior faculty and quality.
The Record hopes it may be wrong
in these gloomy reflections, but the
gabby negroes at Waco and Sulphur
Springs seem to confirm the sorrow

BOARD PARDONS TWO.
Refuses Clemency to Edward Wilson,,
Serving Life Sentence for
Brutal Murder,

The state board of parGons has rec
commended favorable action on the ap-
plication of Henry Billet. sentenced
from Roberts county on a charge OF
murder, and on that of John Jung
worth, Jr., sentenced from Hutchin-
son county. The application Of Chris
tian Christianson, sentenced from
Clark county IN a charge of wife MUIR
der, was rejected.
The application of Edward Wilson,
sentenced for life from Moody county
on a charge of murder for the pur-
pose OF robbery, was rejected. Will
son was represented by Judge Aiken,
OF Sioux Falls, who made the plea that
his client had thoroughly reformed
and had made his time in prison
count for future citizenship by the
study of dentistry. The application
was opposed by States Attorney Cole
man, of Moody county, who was back
ed in his efforts by a long remon-
STRANGE against clemency, Which was
further backed by letters from resi-
dents of that county giving their rea-
IONS why no clemency should be exer-
cised.
Wilson Is under life sentence for the
murder of a companion for a few dol
lars, the murder having been shown
to be premeditated and brutal.

that a special election be called under

endum law in order to enable the yO-
tiers to vote on a proposed ordinance,
granting the company a franchise.
Instead of asking for a franchise
from the city the company's attorneys
now declare that under the provisions
of the political code giving telegraph
and telephone and telephone lines
right-of-way privileges along public
highways a franchise is unneces.
sary. and the company asked the
council to name in an ordinance the
streets and alleys along which the
company's lines may be strung.
The council referred the question to
G. N. Williamson, acting city attorney,
for his examination and report. If the
contention Of the Groton company
proves to be good law it opens some
interesting complications in the city'a
relations with the telephone compa,

NEED DIP ONLY INFECTED STOCK.
Secretary Wilson Is Said to Have Mod
flied Order.


According to a letter received by
Ben Peterson, a Dearborn township
farmer, Secretary of Agriculture Will
son has so modified his order requiring
the dipping Of all cattle as to only re-
quire the dipping of those having
scabies. The order referred to created
much trouble among cattlemen and
shippers in this part of the state, and
when Secretary Wilson was here dur
ing the state fair his attention was di-
rectly called to the matter, with the
result that the department now will
permit cattle not visibly diseased with
scabies to be shipped without inspec-
ton from points in %quarantined r
to Chicago. Kansas City, Omaha and
other live stock centers.
When SO shipped they will be sub
mitted for inspection on arrival at des-
tination. and if found to be free from
the disease, no further restriction will
be placed upon them. If, however, they
are found on inspection to be diseased,
they shall not be further shipped until
treated as diseased cattle. When uniE-
speeted cattle are shipped in accord
ance with these rules. the cars in
which shipment is made must be la
bled as containing uninspected cattle.

Insurance Law Is Ignored in South Da-
kota.
While the law requiring surety com-
panies doing business in this state to
deposit with the state treasurer secur-
tiles not less than $780, 900 in amount
went into effect last July, only four
companies have complied. OF these,
two are state companies and the others
foreign.
Companies which have not complied
with the law are writing surety bonds
in the state, and are liable to a fine Of
not less than $100 nor more than $500
for each offense on the part Of either
the principal or agent. A number Of
the companies which have not COM
piled with the statutes provision con
tend that they secured a license from
the insurance department last January
for the year 1905.
Under an opinion from Attorney
General Hall none except the compa-
MES that have deposited their securi-
ties are legally entitled to do a surety
business in the state, and every act OF
their agents makes them liable to the
penalty provided in section 6 Of chap
ter III. Laws of 1905.
