MARRIAGE EASY IN SCOTLAND.

Couple Mar and Wife.
To be married by Scotch laws one
must have resided for a fortnight in
the country. After that it is quite suf-
ficient for two people to say before
witnesses that they take each other
as man and wife to marry them as
legally and as firmly as If the arch
bishop of Canterbury himself had per-
formed the ceremony. 1t is not alone
when the declaration is solemn and in
territorial that the marriage is bind
ing. Such a declaration made in jest
is enough to hold as firmly as if it
were in earnest. Many young people:

GARFIELD ON
CORPORATIONS,
ORGANIZED LABOR AS INIPOR.
TANT IN INDUSTRIAL LIFE AS
ORGANIZED LABOR.

Buffalo. NY. Oct ll.--"Govern-
ment Control OF Corporations" was
the subject which Commissioner
mes r. Garfield. OF the bureau OF
corporations and Industries of the
department of commerce and labor.
chose for his address before the West
minister Club last night
Mr.. Garfield said that organized
labor was just as important part
OF the industrial system as was or
ganized capital. and that organized
labor was now going through the
same conditions which organized can
ital had gone through for fifty years.
He said that he had found among
the leaders as well as the rank and
ffie of organized labor. men who
represented the highest type of
American citizenship, and that be-
cause now and then a dishonest or
unprincipled man was found among
them IL was unfair to criticize All
organized labor from the same view
point
M. Garfield dealt at considerable
length with the new rate bill, which.
he said, would throw light on the
corporate interests. II is now up
to the government, he said to see
that experts are hired who will be
able to go over the books of the rail-
road companies-men who will be
able to trace every penny-and who
will be able to tell when a rebate is
given. no matter In what form IL is
given.
Under this system the managers
will be afraid to give rebates" he
said. Continuing. he said the situa-
ton had simmered down TO where II
was simply a question OF the govern
ment controlling the corporations or
the corporations controlling the gov
eminent.
Rich men are good to have, but,
above all, We want men who have
made their money honestly and not
by financial jugglery and deceit. We
don't want these sort of men, even
though they do build monuments.
They are the men who look upon
life as the seeking OF more money.
The problem of capital and labor
VIII not be solved by these men"
Mr.. arfield said that the benefit
OF government regulation was shown
In our national banking system. He
admitted, however that there could
be some improvements in that.

bic tactics, in order to wreak ven
geance on innocent soldiers!
An order has been promulgated
by President Roosevelt, while at
the same time no effort has been
put forth by him, nor by anyone
else connected with the War De-
partment, to bring to the bars of
justice the white gentleman who
insulted the uniform of the United
States, and at the same time knock
ing down with his revolver the two
Colored soldiers wearing it, on the
streets Of Brownville, without the
slightest provocation.-Broad AK.
1t is so unlike our ideal Roose-
welt that we can hardly believe the
fact that our President has dis
charged with disgrace three COM
paaies of the famous Twenty-ffth
Regiment of Negro soldiers for a
crime for which only one or two
men were guilty, if any were. 1t
seems that the white people OF
Brownville, Texas, where these sol
diers were quartered, got into some
trouble with the soldiers, which re
suited in a conflict and shooting.
One white man was killed and
another wounded. The citizens of
Texas, who generally lynch Ne
groes for resisting or fighting with
white men, demanded that the off
GERS turn over the soldiers engaged
in the trouble to the civil officers
for trial. This the soldiers refused
to do on the ground that they did
not know who the guilty parties
were. The matter was finally taken
The Montana plaindealer. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1906-1911, 1906-11-16

Upon the recommendation of
Brig-Gen. E. A. Darlington, In
spector General of the Army,
President Roosevelt has ordered
the dishonorable discharge Of
every man Of Companies B, c, and
D of the 25th Infantry, for alleged
completely in the Brownville fracas
of August I3, in which one white
man was killed, and several injured.
1t is not alleged that all the men OF
this battalion were concerned in
the fracas, but it is alleged that
they refused to give such informa-
ton whatever concerning the affair
as would lead to the apprehension
of the alleged guilty parties.
This action of tho President is
considered extraordinary by army
men and civilians. 1t is carrying
into the Federal Government the
demand of the Southern white
devils that innocent and law-abid-
ing black men shall help the legal
authorities spy out and deliver
practically to the mob black men
alleged to have committed one sort
of crime. The principle involved
is not only vicious and contrary to
the spirit of our Constitution, but

atty.
We do not condone the crime which
was committed at Brownsville by
some of the soldiers, nor do we con-
denim the men who refused to turn in
formers on their comrades, more espe-
cially SO when they apprehended the
stake, and most certainly the rope
would be their portion. But why not
discipline the probable guilty one
and that would be very liberal, but
when it comes to putting the ban on
those who were at the barracks in
their hunks, or at home with their
wives, absent on leave, ETC., we GER
taiuly think it an injustice, and we
hope the President will see the injus
tice meted out to the innocent, and
recind this order. Petitions are be-
ing sent in from all over this land,
asking that this be done. The liberal
white journals of the country discuss
the matter in this vein, and the Negro
press for ouce is unanimous in the
belief that an injustice has been
done, We are lOath to believe that
President Roosevelt will not do the
right thing in the matter, and will
yet, in some manner, right the appar-
ent wrong which has been put in
vogue.

COLONEL PITCHERS DENIES
SAYS COIOrtd Soldiers are Heroes

Havana, Nov. l3.-Lieut.-Col.
William l.. Pitchers attention was
called tonight to an article in an
American newspaper declaring
that President Roosevelt had di-
rected that immediate report be
required from him as to whether
he had been correctly quoted as
denouncing Negro troops while at
Fort Sheridan last year. In reply
Colonel Pitchers said that he had
never entertained and never e1-
pressed such sentiments. he ex-
planned that he had served with
colored troops III the past, and had
seen them do heroic fighting.
