THE PRESIDENT AND THE NEGRO
SOLDIERS.

Last week We published pretty full
report of the Presidents message re-
garding the dismissal of the negro
troops for the riot and shooting at
Brownsville, Texas In November last.
This message is more vigorous than
most State papers prepared by this re
markably vigorous man. Saving the
last and closing passages when he tells
We think unnecessarily, of his effort
to elevate the negro, this is the most
veriIc paper, we have even seen come
from the White House during his ad-
ministrstion.
His resume of the case Is very strong
bis conclusions are indisputable If his
facts are correct, and that his facts are
in the main correct no fair minded
person has any serious doubt.
He made every effort to find the Of
tenders, the officers in charge have
known and have never denied that the
soldiers of the fort did the shooting.
The soldiers who had taken no part
along with the on.commissioned of
6cers who are negroes refused to bring
the guilty to trial, thus to some extent
becoming privy to the crime. Then says
the President in the strongest and
most logical sentence in his message
that in as much as the whole body re-
no on1r,rifc If haaa m
resolved into the one question, viz:
whether all of these men were to re-
main In the armY-including of course
the murderers-or all be turned out.
The question was easily solved. and
he cut the Gordian Knot at one stroke.
Since that message has been sent In
Senator Foraker, Of Ohio, who is bid
ding for the next presidential nOmi
nation has in a speech of some three
hours duration taken the President,
the officers sent to investigate, the
people of Brownsville and every body
else but the culprits to task, and has
endeavored to put it up to the people
to say whether the President shall be
turned out of the White House or the
negroes turned out of the army. When
the time comes to decide this question
the people will speak with no uncer-
tain sound. There is no doubt about
the terrible outrage these negro soldiers
committed. the only doubt Is as to
which of them committed it. This is

impossible of aecertainment under the
hence the action Of t
President. His authority to dismiss
them is denied by Sena or Foraker.
This is an interesting question, and
one we hope will he properly debated
and determined. LIZ the President has
gone beyond bis prerogative as com
mander in chief of the army this Is a
good time to find it out. But Mr..
Roosevelt will never rescind the order
until he il convinced, be is wrong, and
even constitutional argument by Mr.
Foraker may fall TO convince him of
error.

the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of

THE LEACH OF the NATiUN.

Senator Hale of Maine, calls atten
ton to the fact that two thirds Of our
ia xes now are paid 10 the pensioners,
the army and the navy. He also calls
attention to the fact that both the
army and the navy are constantly
scar ching for reasons upon when 10
base excuses for lncreases in those
branches, Build more warships" is
the cry of the navy. Increase the
army is the cry of the army. thus
we CRY as towards tt embliDg lest some
body will jump on US. Thus we go
about as bully with pistol and bowie
knife, as If expecting some other gen.
tleman with similar accouterments to
open fire any old time, each day grow
ing as docs q bully, TO be greater and
greater towards.
The idea is that we must show such
dangerous weapons that the other bully
may fee, and to make him take to MS
heels our war teeth must be so sharp
and terrible that nothing in nature
can behold them without his knees
shifting together with fear. AS We
have said, Goliah did not scare even
little David. He neither gave him
agus. nor buck fever, but we are not
30 sure that there were not some ague
or buck fever patients near the rear
of the army from which David went
out to meet the Giant.
Think of two thirds of one billion
dollars going to pay for wars and ru-
mors OF wars in a country fortified on
ever, side by oceans over which no
country of any strength could send
troops without travelling thouands OF
miles, under the most dangerous con
dltlons. Think of war being waged
by European country when not one
of them has 80 much as coaling sta
ton near our borders, save England.
The Japs have given us scare we
are told. They have not. They have
scared nobody of sense. The army
aud navy got stampeded, we hear, but
that stampede did not come from fear,
but from avarice, from hope OF sell
ACKNOWLEDGMENT. Our guardians hui
rahed, and beat tin pans, to scare the
people, TO brighten Congress into IN
creasing these branches Of the govern
meut, and their noise may succeed. This
country would be absolutely safe II she
would present her Pacific islands to
anybody who whould take them, and
then dlsband the army, and blow up
every ship in the navy. If we give no
offense we will not be insulted or in
jured. If we keep our noses out OF
other peoples affairs they will do the
same. Nobody has jumped on us since
1872. Nobody will until we give them
cause and if we do neither our army nor
navy will stop them. We certainly
want no more wars. One or two more
small wars even, with the attendant
pension lists would bankrupt CIessus.
much less Uncle Sam, AS every SOL
der and sailor after time becomes a
lame duck, the fewer ducks we have
the fewer lame ducks We will be
compelled to support. 1t will be our
own army and navy which will destroy
us. Mr.. Hale has done well to remind
the nation OF this fact, but we hardly
think he will stop the onward rush.
This is an age of blood and iron. We
are blusterers and must have the wea
pons to bluff with, The only army and
navy we fear Ia our own.

MEDoRA-couR
Goes to
8urleloh for Trial.

When court was opened in Medora
on Tuesday much interest conferred in
the Arthur P. Chenoveth case. An
affidavit of prejudice was filed and
J Judge Winchester finally ordered tina,
the case be tried in Bismarck at the
May IS term.
Chenoweth wal arrested some over
three years ago on the charge Of steal.
ing 100 H T horses, valued at $4,000,
On January Is. 1902, he escaped Jail
in Medora, and was not apprehended
and re-arrested until last October.
The escaping from Jail was a second
%ofense, and Assistant Attorney General
Philbrick was in court and filed a
complaint covering this.
Chenoweth claims to have no money,
and the court has appointed J. H.
Field to defend.
This young defendant is regarded
as very shrewd and he appears to be
a many-times criminal. At the time
OF his arrest last fall at Casper, Wyo..
he had II head Of stolen Montana
horses, and the authorities Of that state
want him for this crime as soon as
North Dakota finishes with him.
At the time of his former arrest it
was understood that he was an escaped
convict.
Chenoweth's mother appears in court
with him, and there has been talk of
insanity and things like that. Billings
county will have a nice little bill OF
expense and it is possible that no con-
viction can be secured. owing to the
length of time which has elapsed
since the crime was committed.
