1.-THE RACE QUESTION ON RAIL
ROADS"

Thank God. The white folks OF
this city and this state and those
OF other cities and other states are
having most disagreoable cxper-
ince with that foolish "Jlm Crow
car regulation aud they are having
"a practical demonstration OF the
OLD adage Of "biting OF your nose
to spite your face"
The Richmond. Va. Times Dis,
patch under the caption OF "The
Race Question on the Railroads"
says:
"No one, perhaps has ever regard
cd the Jim Grow system on the
Southern railways as q perfect and
lmpeccable device. 10 has appealed
| 90 those who have adopted 10 only
as the best way known To them of
coping with certain very obvious
nuisancos. That il should bring
some difficulties I'm it's train was
foreseen and inevitable.
One OF the disagreeable possibil.
titles OF the system has recently
/ been demonstrated in the case OF q
Mr.. Thurman against the Southern
Railway In Kentucky. Mr.. Thur
man, IL seems. is of dark compleyion
though as free Of African blood as
any other Caucasian. A railway
conductor, however. misled by his
dark skin, insisted on his leaving
the white car and taking his seat
gers. MIR. Thurman brought sniff
against the road. and the court ruled
AGAINST him on the ground that the
railroad company was not liable
merely because IA the exercise Of
ordinary care II mistook the race 10
which a passenger belonged
That an injustice was done to
Mr.. Thurman in consigning him 10
the Jim Crow department is appar.
ent, but the ruling Of the
court appears perfectly sound
Il is impossible for all conductors
and brakemen 10 be qualified ethnic
experts They can DO no more in
each case than use sound common
sense and their best Judgment. II
the result bears hardly on brunettes
they seem TO have no means Of pro
tecting themselves other than to
stop using the cars"
We agree with the Times-Dis-
patch. This colored white man is
evidently largely responsible for the
separation and If he is not, his sis
tiers, brothers cousins and his aunts
are and he should take his medi-
cine" without squirming.
We have not brought any suits
for long time on account OF our
being forced into a car of white
people, and when We did bring II
against the Richmond and Peters
burg Company in Virginia. we lost
Just as this white passenger did in
Kentucky. Race prejudice has al.
ways proved boomerang and 1t al
ways will.

The Law of II.

The taking OF a newspaper out OF a
postoffice-unless it lie marked Sam.
pie Copy" or unless you have sub.
scribed for it's prim facie evidence
of fraud, and you can be made to pay
for it. About this fact there Is no
doubt at all, however singular it may
appear. The postal laws forbid the
mailing of newspapers by any pub
Usher to persons who are not subscrib-
ers, unless the same be marked "Sam-
pie Copy" You are supposed to know
that this is the law, since ignorance OF
the law is no excuse. Therefore, when
you take from the postoffice thing
which you know represents value, q
quid pro quo, you are presumed, un-
der the federal postal laws, to be
guilty Of fraud. 1t matters not what
"wise" persons say about this theory
and this fact, it is nevertheless abso.
lutely the case. Take no paper from
the postoffice unless you have ordered
it or unless it be marked Sample
Copy" You will some day have to
pay for it.-Law Observer.

where he closed deal for the sale of the
Benson stock ranch. This fine ranch
consists of 100 acres of alfalfa. timothy
and clover and is one of the best equip

1t is located two miles northeast Of Gran.
ger. ]. E. Prouty, a capitalist Of Ritz.
vile, is the purchaser and the property
is leased to Hickok & Mound. Mr..
Prouty also purchased through the Yak
ina Land Company the 2o-acre ranch Of
w. M. Gorsuch. adjoining the Benson
ranch, and has thus secured 40 acres Of
as fine land as there Is in the valley.
This is without doubt the largest sale Of
irrigated land made in this section and
Mr.. Hawn is to be commended for secur
ing the investment of outside capital in
our midst. Mr.. Prouty is one of the
early settlers of eastern Washington and
made an overland trip through the sec
