After the shooting Esther Mitchell
was perfectly calm. She said that the
killing had been entirely right. She
commended that as long as the law
would not punish her brother for
killing "a holy man" she had per.
feet right to do so.
Some one had to do it." she said,
with smile, land l was the best per-
son."
Outside the county jail crowd was
clamoring for her life. There were
even cries of Lynch her, lynch her!"
But this friendless girl sat cool and
collected and made this statement,
though she was notified that it might
be used against her.
II am not insane. Before | killed
my brother Mrs. Creffield and l talked

chief of police everything. Mr.. Cref-
field was holy man. My brother was
of the world and was defiled. 1t was
only right that George Mitchell Should
be punished for what he did. The law
set him free. I know my brother es-
capped punishment by saying he was
insane. But l will not do such thing.

DEATH OF BISHOP ARNETT

In the death of Bishop Arnett
the race has lost one of its leading
lights. He has set living exam
ple of thrift and industry, the
.heiohts to which we may 60. As
a theoIogian, scholar, author and
statesman he has at all times ac-
quilted himself with honor and
glory. We first met him at the
the Republican Convention in that
memorable contest between /. b.
Reed and VIM. Mckinley for the
presidency, and as everyone knows
his election depended largely on
the vote of the colored delegates
TO that Convention. The Bishop
was one of McKinley's trusted
Lieutenants; he always held the
lamented Presidents esteem, ano
was one of his trusted advisers
In his death the race loses one o
its brightest stars.

WERE No GONARDS
50 Says Calvin Chase. Editor
Of Washington Bee.

The Associated Press dispatches
from Atlanta, Ga. to the effect
that dozens of colored citizens
were killed and wounded, and but
few of the mob that attacked
them. This report is false. There
were at least twenty-siX of the mob
killed, and more would have been
killed had the militia remained in.
The colored man in the South is
no coward, and the white mob is
realizing the fact.
The cotored citizens of Georgia
are no towards, and if the Georgia
people think so, furnish the col
ored with a sufficient number of
guns and they will soon convince
the nation. There is no use in
hiding the fact, the colored man
has got to fight when he is at
tackled without cause. All of this
talk, don't retaliate,' is bosh.
No man but coward will remain
silent and see his,wife and children
murdered by mob. Why should
we expect less from those innocent
colored people in Georgia? 1t is
asserted that the bad white and
colored element in Georgia were
the cause of the recent riot. IT
this be true, some of the so-called
best white people in the city of
Atlanta were seen leading the mob
against innocent colored citizens
1t is so strange that the good C?)

We note with sorrow the death
of the Hon. G. G. Clemens of To-
peka, Kan. His death is a dis
tinct loss to not only Kansas, but
the nation as well, he, aside from
being one of the greatest legal
forces in the country was at all
times the friend of the humble and
oppressed, in his death the colored
race have lost a true and tried
friend, as with him there was no
pretense his friendship was sincere,
knowing him personally as we do,
and having been in his employ we
can truthfully say that the oP-
pressed of the land and especially
the colored race have lost indeed a
friend and advocate.

The attitude of some of the
Republican candidates for local
positions indicates that they do
not care a rap as to the colored
vote. Sure as the colored votes
have nothing at stake they can say
likewise to them.

Political Snapshots

T. w. Richardson, the Republi-
can candidate for the four-year
term as County Commissioner, is
a clean-cut and broad-gauged man
whom all our people can support.
He is a successful business man,
and if elected to this important
position he will discharge the du-
ties thereto in highly cre6itable
and able manner, and recognize all
regardless of party, class, or race.
He believes in enterprises con-
Quoted by our people, and does not
hesitate to encourage them. We
advise all of our people to keep
thlir minds on Richardson, and
give him their undivided support.
The people of Lewis and Clark
County, regardless of party, may
we'll congratulate themselves on
having so excellent a citizen and
clpable business man as Mr.. II.
Carmichael for the important posi-
ton of one of the ,three County
Commissioners. He is a stalwart
Republican. and stands for the
right and a square deal for all.
He is a pleasant and affable gentle
man to meet, and not one of those
who have one way to meet you
during a campaign, and another
way at other times, but the same
man all the year around, so the
people of Lewis and Clark County
will make no mistake in voting
for !. H. Carmichael for County
Commissioner
One of the most genial public
officials which we have ever met
! is the present Coroner,ssS. S. Ben
nett. He has so faithfully filled
that position that the people think
Of no other, and everybody will
of course support him for a re-
election, and when the votes are
counted we predict his election by
an increased majority.
Some of our supposed Republi-
can friends, who by their actions
are loathe to patronize this journal,
should be equally as loathe, and
with rs much precaution admon-
ish the colored voters against..sup-
porting them.
Last week we spoke of Miss
/ Maggie Y. Smiths running quail
ties. and for the same our Repub-
|licanism has been challenged.
I'VE did not conceive that the test
.oi Rcpublicanism was for County
Superintendent, although we have
spoken well of her; why shouldn't t
we? Ever since THE PLAINDEALER
was born she has always and at
all times been a consistent friend
to this publication and liberal
patron. She takes a great inter
est iu the progress of our race,
and in all matters for the uplift of
our people Miss Smith has been
present to aid and assist We
appreciate the same, and the high
est compliment we could pay our
selves or the race with which our
''dcstinv is linked forever is to say

day afternoon, was that Headlund came
to his death "as the result of an acct
dent OF the 26th day of December,
1906, received while going upon a
steam shovel while the same was in
operation. The accident necessitated
two surgical operations. We also find
from the evidence that the deceased
did not receive the attention that seems
necessary following such severe opera
tons, owing to the lack of hospital ia
