An EARTHQUAKE Shock.

Montpelier. Paris and other sections
of the county experienced quite dis
tinct earthquake last evening about
$50. The tremor was of short duration
but was 30 distinct that in Montpelier
doors ratified. the electric light drops
swung backward and forward and water
in vessels was set in motion. Judge
Bulge, who was In his Office at the
court house. said the building shook
severity and the shock was plainly felt
by others in Paris.
No damage was done but the shock
brought forcibly to the minds Of the
people the terrible earthquake at San
Francisco last spring.

The County Fair.

The fair which was held at Paris this
week was probably not as grand an af-
fair as those that have been held in
some OF the adjoining counties, but it
was start in the right direction. 1t
was the sowing of good seed on fertile
ground and rich harvest is bound to
follow Right here. however, we wish
to say that we do not believe that a
county fair can be made complete
success until a tract of land is purchas-
ed and fair grounds laid out as they are
in other counties. Then, too, county
fair without few ''hoss races is
pretty dry amusement to the average
American citizen. What the future IN
tentions are along these lines OF those
connected with our fair association, we
are not prepared to say.
BIT as regards the exhibits at Paris
this week in the vegetable, fruit, floral,
grain, fine art household and educa-
tional departments. we will say that
they were much finer than we expected
to see. There we're vegetables, fruit
and grain shown there which, If exhib-
tied in the east or even In Boise and
labeled as having been grown at an
altitude 5000 feet above the sea level,
people would declare emphatically that
it was not true. We saw apples. prunes,
potatoes, etc., there that simply can not
be excelled in size by any section of
Idaho or any other state, for that mat
ter. And some of the finest potatoes on
exhibition were those grown without ir.
rigation.
The educational exhibits from Field
ing Academy, the Paris and Montpelier
public schools would compare favorably
with similar class of work from schools
anywhere. The work demonstrated
chat the children in this Egypt of Ida
no, are not the "heathens" that Sena
tor Dubois and his coterie of old maid
Mormon haters from the east are pictur
ing to people in other parts of Idaho.
There was work from the mechanical
department of Fielding Academy that
wonld take prizes if entered in COMPETE
ton with similar work from any educa-
tional institution in this broad land Of
ours, while some of the drawing and
Ienmanshlp displayed from the three
schools was equally meritorious.
The display of fancy needle work was
quite large, and there were a number
of rich and rare pieces of work to be
seen.
During our short stay in Paris We'd.
nesday we did not have time TO view
the live stock exhibit, but we under.
stand there was not the interest," shown
in this departm that there should
haye been.

Notes

The colored people OF the country
have been whiting anxiously for the
usssags Of the president of the Unit.
q 0tates: mi o. iasl Tuesday II was
presented 10 Congress. II was 4
wonderful message. but will scarcely
meet the appreciation Of the colored
people Of the United States. The sec.
ton Of the message which dealt with
the colored man specifically discussed
education and crime. II pointed out
that all colored people must become
selfAppointed policemen for the pur
pose Of detecting and delivering up
a. colored people charged with crime.
This would necessitAte the establish.
ment Of . Police Bureau OF national
scope. and since all colored people
must be members OF the force, the
bureau will need a chief. It is not
Just clear to US how this chief will
be appointed. and II would seem that
such policemen a. are contemplated
In this message would be in slight
danger Of assault by the criminal
An arrest made by one without au.
thority would be an assault and bat.
tery and the person 80 arrested or
rather assaulted would have the right
under the laws Of our country to de.
fend himself. giving such resistance
~ the case would require. even re-
sistance to the death. We speak Of
this matter In this manner for the
reason that We owe a duty to the race
to apprise them OF the truth and warn
them that to follow out the advice Of
the message Of tho president would
be an unlawful and dangerous pro.
cedure. But the thing In this mes.
sage that hurts 10 the imputation that
all colored people know the criminals
Of the race and are responsible to the
country for their conduct. We regret
that the president accepted this I'D.
vice from those who try to shape the

fundamentally wrong. A criminal is
one who has been found guilty Of
crime. This n troe - ~ saacA naA
and true Of the white man. Crime is
crime. and all criminals are enemies
TO society, the black no more than the
white. Crime is colorless and II is
to be regretted that the president Of
all the people has used such language
In his message as to Indicate to the
country and the world that he thinks
crime committed by a colored man is
different from that committed by .
white man. But, perhaps he has been
the victim Of the advice OF a traitor.
Gus Negro.
On the question Of education the
president has been equally as unfor.
tunate as upon the question Of crime.
He advises the race as whole to
get such education as is given at
Hampton and Tuskegee." Why
Hampton and Tuskegee! Can II be
that the American Missionary Soci
ETY.. the noble men and women Of the
North and of the South who have
done SO much for the colored people
along lines OF education, not purely
industrial. have gone wrong in all
their works! Have the millions OF
money spent on education been spent
In vain. This has been answered
with ten million NOES. And the only
man who directly insists that the
work In this behalf has failed is
James X. Vardaman Of Mississippi.
No. the word education, from the time
Of Plato and Socrates, has meant and
means the leading out Of the mental.
moral and spiritual faculties Of man.
II you admit that man has faculties,
you admit his right to education.
And education has no color II oper.

manity; It is human training It

of the wrong done the soldiers of the
25th regiment. Senator Foraker de-
nies that he is pleading the cause OF
the Negro, as such. but asserts that
he is demanding justice for the men
who have been wronged, the observ-
ance Of the constitution and laws of
our common country and the mainte
nance of right.
The New York Age is very radical
In its criticism OF the message Of the
president Of the United States, and
makes a great argument in defense of
DR.. Booker T. Washington. All, God.
does not Fortune remember the
speeches of this man whom he now
defends. Does Fortune not remem-
Der tAe c0npvumise Of Atlanta IN
1895, the compromise Of Richmond In
1899 and the compromise of Atlanta
in 1906! Have We all forgotten the
long struggle of twenty years and
more OF this man to win the favor of
the South? Nobody knows better
than Mr.. Fortune that to win the rul-
ing element Of the South, every right
must be given up by the black man
who must win. Two things were de-
manded and two things have been
taught by DR.. Washington: political
effacement and racial inferiority. On
the strength Of this philosophy DR..
Washington has become famous. But
the tide is turning. Nine-tenths Of
the colored people Of this country
have renounced the philosophy OF DR..
Washington and the tide cannot be
stopped; for it flows from the foun.
tain Of eternal truth.
The States Rights propagandists
are yelling loudly about the treat.
ment accorded the Japanese by the
president in his message. But Japan
has power. commercial and military
Japan Is soon to be the controlling
power in the trade Of the East. I'm.

teaches and gives. Surely there are
places outside Hampton and Tuske-
gee in which human training can be
acquired. We know OF no black edu-
cation; all education lifts man, gives
him consciousness OF the higher
duty which he owes to himself and
society. 1t teaches equality Of man;
that man is a soul; that soul is i'm
mortal; that 1t is defnable only on
the ground laid down by Jesus
Christ: that in the realm of soul
there is no color, no creed, but those
things, and only those things which
make the foundation of our country
secure.
The colored people will not be
changed in their attitude By this pres
idenual pronunciamento. They, by
their labor and sacrifices. are the
taxpayers Of this southland and they
have 4 right to participate in govern
ment, to be given an equal chance In
the race Of life. This is hard for the
white man Of the South TO admit, but
he knows 1t Is true and just. And
some day. In this country. which is
now the scene Of so much injustice
and wrong to the colored people. jus
tice will be the criterion which di
rects the actions Of men. The mes
sage Just sent to Congress will not
change the current Of events.
The Young Women's Christian As.
sociation gave a Pink Tea and Re-
ception on Friday night Of last week.
The reception was arranged and
managed by Miss Eula l. Ross, q
woman of lofty Christian ideals and
broad usefulness in our community,
and the abundant success which re-
suited from her efforts in this recep-
tion but serve to attest to her
strength and emciency. The recep-
ton was largely attended by a repre-.
sentative number Of Washington's
elite.
As We predicted last week, Senator
of Ohio is leading the fight in the
senate in behalf OF the soldiers which
were recently discharged from the
25th regiment Of the army. He very
wisely takes the position that II is
not a race issue. but . constitutional
question, involving the very being Of
republican government as understood
and maintained In the United States
Of America The day upon which
Congress convened he presented =
resolution which went to the bottom
