AMERICAN AEROPLANE.
British Expert Thinks II Will Be
Adopted by France.

London.-Hon. C. s. Rolls. who left
on his visit to america. made before
his departure long experiment with
the Wright aeroplane at Euston sta
ton. According to Mr.. Rolls state
ment, you can steer it as you like. 1t
is an aeroplane, not balloon. From
this aeroplane yon can drop bomb
into any fort you like"
He added: "Of course. on the con-
tinent they are more interested in this
than we are. but there is no doubt that
the Wright aeroplane will play very
great part In future warfare"
After talking about probable war
fare, Mr.. Rolls remarked: so far as
ballooning is concerned, we have still
to get a machine that you can steer
where you like. This means rather
doubtful quantity at present. Differ
ent currents of air are like tides in a
river. and you have to get into the
strata or the tide which will giTe you
the direction you want.
The Colorado statesman., 1906-10-20

''In future warfare there is no doubt
that the balloon will play a greater
part, but at the same time it wants to
be steerable. Up to now we have not
arrived at that stage.
This particular aeroplane is the in
vention of two American brothers
named Wright. / personally made a
number of experiments and conse-
quently think 1t is sure to be adopted
by the French government, which is
testing 1t now.
When / arrive in America ] shall
make some more experiments with it,
because 1t seems to me that while we
can control our balloons in the lower
strata, It is simply matter of study
and. OF course. experiment, for us to
gain sufficient knowledge to guide our
passage through the air and thus guide
our course.
STILL" he continued, ''ballooning is
In the air."

TERRITORY LETTER
Conditions and Chances for the Negro
in the Indian Territory.
Newly, [. T., Oct. >. 1906.

Newby, [. T., Oct. .. 1906.
Mr.. EDITOR:
Dear Sir:-As this is my first
time to teach in the Indian Terri
tory and | found so many new and
interesting things to me. l
thought perhaps some of your
readers would like to know some
thing about the country where so
many of the American Negroes
have chosen to take up their abode.
The Indian Territory is divided
into four nations, Greek, Cherokee,
Chickasaw and Choctaw. / am
teaching school in the Creek ma
ton. In almost every part of the
country where a few Negro fami-
lies can be found. there a small
school will be also. And almost
Invariably the Negroes and
whites" have separate schools.
Unlike most of the other states of
this Union when the Indian Terri
tory becomes a full fedged state
she will have a good number of
Negro schools. OF course ali of
Che schools are not the best; some
of the building are in need of re-
pair, indeed some of the school

NORTHERN PACIFIC ROUTE.
New Joint Line in Oregon and Wash
inqton.

New York.-The first formal state
ment or the plans of the Portland C
seattle railway, which is being built
down the north bank of the Columbia
river in Washington by James J. Hill,
is contained in the annual report OF
the Northern Pacific railway, just is
sued. The new line will give the Hill
roads new and greatly improved line
into Portland
In the building of this road. which
will be 423 miles long. .he Northern
Pacific Is Jointly interested with the
Great Northern. The road will run
from Portland to Spokane and Texas
Ferry, Washington, connecting at Spo-,
Kane with the Northern Pacific and
Great Northern. and at Texas Ferry
with the joint line owned by the North
ern Pacific md Union Pacific. Valu-
able terminal property has been pur-
chased In Portland and Vancouver. II
Is expected the line from Portland to
Pasco and Texas Ferry will be com
pleted by the autumn OF 1907 and the
line from Pasco to Spokane early IN
1908.

houses are log cabins. The Uni
ted States government furnishes
the money for the most of the
schools, yet some of them are kept
up by monthly donations from the
parents. The wages received by
the teachers employed by the De-
partment of Interior usually
amount to fifty dollars per month.
think this is a very good place
for an educated Negro to do good
for his race. We in Colorado do
rot realize how the children in the
territory are handicapped. We
have the advantages of the public
library and the college and modern
high school. While the few col
leges here are solely for the whites
the Negroes have two or three
boarding school in the territory or
ganized by Negroes which keep
open for about six months of the
year.
Cotton is one of the principal
products in this section and every
year children who should be re-
ceiving an education TO cope with
the great problems of life are be-
ing kept from school to pick cot
ton. And the cotton picking
keeps them busy nearly all winter.
1 make this plea to the young
people of Colorado, set an educa-
ton while the way is open; be-
cause if they come to this country
they will appreciate the advantages
they have had in their youth and
sympathize with those in their
noble struggle to reach a high
er level in the educational and
social world. | have thirty five
Negro pupils and five natives.
The children are obedient and will
ing to learn.
Many people who have never
been to the Territory imagine that
the people are very wild and do
not regard the law, but this is a
false impression. The natives
of the territory seem very quiet
and peaceable. OF course there
are few exceptions but not
enough to call this an unlawful
country and the home of outlaws.
All the people of the Indian Terri
tory need is education, good
schools, good books, libraries and
colleges. And time and perserver-
ance will surely bring all of these.
Sincerely Yours,
FANNIE BUSH.

AS a Rule OmcIaIs Are Good Men.


 We. the people of Alabama, this year give to Alabama men, our neighbors, the State offices and the sheriff's of- l fices and some judgeships. The offices we please. We are the owners of the offices. Many men are before us ask ing us to give them the offices. Not only are the candidates asking us for the offices. but many of the can didates have friends asking us to give the places to their favorites. The Ledger would like the people of Ala bama to keep this clearly in mind
 Some of the friends of candidates are trying to make us believe that we are about to be enslaved. and that we are not really prosperous, only mis- taken in thinking so. Some tell us these funny things as seriously as they can.
 We, the voters. should choose our pubic servants for the good they can do us, and not because we are afraid of any man, or corporation. Each vot- CT has the right to vote as he pleasesf. vote. We can do this safely. We are not in any danger. We are not going to be in any danger. All the tomfooi- cry about somebody catching us and galloping off with us Is midsummer stiffness.
 Furthermore, the effort of some of the foolish friends of candidates to make us believe that every neighbor we ever elected was Dau man, ellneF being bought by somebody. or buying somebody continually, is vicious. We never had a governor who sold him self. We never had a judge who sold himself. The Ledger does not believe that as many as ten men ever sold their votes in the Alabama legislatures. Our officials have been honest. above the average. and the average in the South is high.
 The State Convention was composed of men as good as any In the State They made an admirable constitution. so good In fact that the supreme court of the United States has not beon able to find a flaw in It.
 Our State Committee is composed of our neighbors. whose interests are the same as ours, They have in this cam paign insisted on referring everything to the voters. Angels could have done no better in that regard. If we want to change them we can do It.
 We should not allow anyone to shake our confidence In each other. The men of Alabama are as good as any men in the world. It Is not well to listen to those who tell us that everybody else is bad. Very few are bad. and Alabama has very rarely elected any bad man to office. We will not do so this time. Let us keep cool and vote as we please

pr. Rhodea' 4outrage.n

Talladega Mountain Home.
 The editor of The Birmingham News went down to Selma the other night He does not allow himself the trival pastime of visiting neighhoring com munities; as rule, he scorns to be a mere reporter. This was an occasion, however. when he had heard 1t rumor- ed that the great Conner was to bife
 little Cunningham; he was due to up- percut him. to draw the claret from his proboscts. then to land a solar plex- us. As the chief Jacobs--we do not know that we keep to the vernacular of the ring-of the Conner corner 1t behooved him to be on hand, and, with the sponge; this latter as a mere mat ter of form as it was to be day of triumph for the Comerites at Selma! Airily waving his hands to the boys we can see him departing from The News building announcing that he would take care of the Selma occasion in his great way. It is not often that a rare product of letters like the Doctor Edit or allows himself to mingle with the despised reporters. but this was to be an occasion where great literary effort was imperative. The doctor would re- port the Conner triumph In several lam guages. He went down in his new honors with great dignity. It looked to him before the speaking was over that he was about the only Conner man on the ground and through column he laments in the dear old News. From nished. the editor of The News over his own initials. arrives at this conclusion:
 The outrage of last night should put every honest Democrat in Alabama, whether he be for Conner or Cunning ham, on the watch tower, to guard the ballots of freemen on election day. Under the constitution of Alabama, for which the people made so many sac rifices, dishonest election methods and perjured returns should not be tol- erated for an instant by any man who loves deeency or the free institutions of his country
 The outrage" alluded to was in the overwhelming enthusiasm for Cum hold. and the Interruption of Mir. Conner bv this enthusiasm. Those who were there account for much of the noise as the result Of Mr. Corners perform anee, undignified, unfair and absurd. They say he ran about upon the stage making an unseemly spectacle of him self and insulting Cunningham in most coarse way. He had lost the game and instead of steadying him self for a final broad and decent appeal he ran about, overusing his legs and arms and underusinR his wits as the able editor of The Mobile Register In diplomatic language has suggested. A meeting which. when opened. was for Colner was turned Into a Cunningham ratification meeting. It held Its sides with merriment at MT.

paraxraph quoted, is that honest Co. mer men must guard the ballot boxesi and. moreover, get themselves up on Q watch tower, His declamstory ut ter for a primer. No man gets up or will get up to dispute with him. The man WhO did more, we say ft advised- ly, to adopt the constitution "for which this same Cunninghami This same Cunningham conceived. as president of the State Senate, the addition to the committees of the Senate of one to Revision and Amendment" which put in good shape the fight for new or ganic law which though stricken down by an unfair hand In 1893 did not die. cunningham bears on his person the great work which had for it's purpose riddins the State of dishonest eiec- tion methods and perjured returns. He was, if any man was. the Moses of that great movement He would not knowingly allow himself to be the beneficiary of one stolen vote or per jured return We do not believe that the editor of The News believes he its words with great care. is willing to say that in it's opinion no man with a higher, finer sense of civic duty works under the roof of The Birming- in this State. As an inference. how ever. that because the Cunningham men, an opera house full of them In Selma. enjoyed themselves through several hours, that therefore they were preparing to ro right forth and prepare some dishonest election meth eds" and arrange for some ''perJured returns" Is a very false deduction and entirely unworthy of a Doctor of Laws. This style Of reasoning would be scorned by a well trained soph- more. It Is quite unacademic.
 Men must life up to their great t. ties. If the title be large a man must be broad. For Doctor thus to all low his feet to stick out below his academic gown attracts unpieasans comment.

THE MArTER or IMMIGRATION.

-~~~~~
 In a bulletin just issued by Fisk and Robinson. of New York. we find these suggestions on the subject of immigra- ton, which is attracting much atten- rinn just now in this section:
 The labor market in the guise of inn migration is attracting quite as much, if not more. attention at the present time than the money market. In per iods of depresslon nothing is more timid than capital. except foreign la- our unprecedented prosperity immigra- tion during the past twelve months mas been the largest in the history of the country A countrys citizens are its best assets. and a million of heal thy. abIe-bodisd Immigrants. even. fl uneducated and possessing nothing but their strength. conld easily add $i0o.- 100000 to the wealth of the nation an- nualiy and bring up their children un- der conditions insuring a satisfactory and patriotic class of citizens. Prcfes- sional. technical and business men who in a sense constitute the distributing what we need are immigrants with good, sound bodies. Compared with this educational requirements or the few dollars they. bring are of small lations as drastic as may be necessary, but let us have any amount of immi- grants who can labor and produce which is financing enterprises. espe-- ciaily in the South, realizes the need or iaborers and agriculturists,
 The chir" dificulty in the immiGra . tion situation is not the numbers which seek employment and homes in the United States. but their satisfactory distribution. If the vast throng now ct the principal ports between Boston and Galveston this question would at tract only passing notice. so quickly would they be absorbed in wealth. producing enterprises.
 America offers every kind of climate Give to the newcomer climatic condi- tiOns comparable with those in which he previously lived and he will be- placing him under favorable conditions is self-evident For instance, If the Italians were distributed among the southern states where outdoor labor would become home owners, and the annual migration of this desirable la boring class would practically cease. as would also tho practice af sending in the aggregate large sums of money annually t3 their native land.
 It Is of prime importance that the mentE and private organizations. exert themselves in every proper way to bring about a better distribution of immigrants and to do everything in reason 10 encourage TdtHtE IHdn alS- courage this foreign invasion.
 Whether the South should devote It's efforts to obtaining immigrants from any single European nationality Is a question about which there will be a difference of opinion. no doubt. We have here a variety of interests and 1t Is not certain that any one class of people would suit all of them. Really however we have comparatively lit- tie need of imported labor except in the cotton fields. As a general thing the mills and shops can be supplied by our own people. but 1t is a cer- taInty that there is a present and
