attitude OF thousands OF our best
Southern white people.
The negro race is given a free
opportunity TO enter tho education

succeed, as many are doing in the
city OF Columbia.
But We must not rest satisfied
with what we have achieved in the
past want TO emphasize with you
tonight few matters that directly
concern our future I'm this communi-
ty and throughout tho state. In the
first place, we must face tho fact
that considerable criticism Is con
stantly brought against us as peo-
pie, because Il is said that "tho
negro is not reliable as n laborer. -
The leaders and teachers OF our
people must sec TO Il that there is
n change in this respect
mo section of the South Is more
Interested from a financial point Of
view I'm the success Of the negro than
Is true OF this state. In tho first
place, II is tremendously important
that the negro be happy. that peace
exist between the races. because
there can be no satisfactory labor
when the white man and the black
man are at daggers' point. The more
tho laborer is satisfied the better
service he will rend,

making negro labor reliable. One
way to do It (and that is what the
Tuskegee Institute has been driving
at. among other things), in the first
place. is to teach tho negro laborer
the dignity OF labor.

the improvement OF the negro wo-

OF the negro cook and the negro

We could furnish the teachers for

"The food that goes into the
bodies OF the majority OF the white
fanatics I'm South Carolina is pre-
pared and served three times n day

HIGH FINANCE

What is Il? The Philadelphia
Record throws some light upon # in
this paragraph
A man who supposes that rail
road exists primarily to haul things
from one place to another is an old
fogy. Hartman sees that there is
far more money I'm the financial end
OF the railroad than there is in the
commonplace business OF moving
freight about.
It is a manipulation OF this flnan-
clal end that constitutes high finance
That is. It is the combination of
forces belonging to others that pro-
duces nothing but profit for the man
who handles the forces It is the
opportunity embraced to. make a
great deal OF money of OF the people
without actually stealing It. Speak
Ing directly to the point, the Record
goes on to say that "the earnings are
only an incidental interest TO a man.
who. like Hartman, recognizes that
the real work OF "A railroad Is done
In the New York stock exchange"
This may seem a simple, innocent
matter, but after all. something

BEATIHG OF CHILDREN

A young boy, beaten and driven out into the night. which he spent shiver- ing under pile of lumber rather than brave the wrath of his inhumsn father by returning to the shelter that he called "home," is truly an object of pity. One cannot help wondering where the mother was when q case of this kind is reported, and, if present, what she was doing while the beating of the boy was going on. The mater nal instinct should rise to meet an emer- gsncy of this kind with any weapon thst comes handy, from a rolllng-pin or iron poker to the broomsslek. Force Is the only argument that csn be used successfully against bully or that will put to rout g coward who uses his strength b!u,ally against 8 child.

ALASKA COAL

The San Francisco Call announces that 8 movement Is on foot in that city to recover some Of the Alaska trade, lost largely through the disaster of 1906. The evident reason for the revival Of interest in this matter is the appreci. able value of Alaska coal 1t is bound one day 10 produce.
 Itis somewhat a matter of doubt il the Angel Gabriel can awaken Port land to the importance of Alaska trade; but with all doubts iu mind. it is well to take note in passing, that the Alaska c al supply will in the course of time exceed ID value the gold output of that territory.
 The present mining laws that pertain to operations in Alaska, do not permit of extensive business organization for the production of coal; but there is prospect that these laws will be chang ed, as the Secretary of the Interior has the matter under advisement, and is favorable to an amendment more sd- VAntageous to the larger industry.
 Taking the consensus of all reports on the Alaska coal fields, and 1t is established tha, they are the most extensive on the Pacific Cosst; that they ere To- cstsd practically on tide water; that the coal is of excellent commercial quality, and under proper adjustments should be laid down in the United States at a great deal lower price than Is now paid for that class of fuel.
 It is to be assumed, as matter oI course, when this Alaska supply is fin ally available, there will be strong and probably successful efforts to have IL reach the market under trust super visions. But whether this Is true or pot the earlier development of these Alaska fields win have beneficial effect on shs general fuel situation; and, at all events, 1t offers aided advantage to this city for the consideration of Alas. ks trade If this city ever reaches the point where thas matter will be serious, ly considered as a business propo. sition.-Portland Telegram.

MEN MAY STRIKE
At SEVEN TROUGHS
Seven TrOughs Mining Has
Decided to Put in Change
Room.
HIGH.GRADERS ARE
SAID TO BE AT WORK
Company May Be Compelled to
Suspend Operations for
Time Being.

Another camp has come to light III
which it is claimed high graders are
making the existence of the operating
companies one Of misery, This camp
is the Seven Troughs district Of Ne
vada, and the company most directly
affected is the Seven Troughs Mining
company, Salt Lake and Provo or
ganization. II seems that this organi-
zation in opening up its ground has
encountered a great amount of tre-
mendously rich rock which can be
taken and concealed without much
trouble, and little bit of which will
amount to considerable on account of
it's yellow metal contents. It is I'M
derstood, Furthermore, that the COM
pany is now on the track of such
rock, although the facts naturally arc
difficult of gathering.
This company has been paying its
miners from 81 to $3.50 per day ac-
cording to manner of work done. The
company short time ago broached
the question Of a ''change ROOM, n
room which the men employed would
be compelled to enter and change their
clothes before going into or out of the
mine. This is the same method that
was attempted III uoluHelu3 anu III ID
considered the only means to prevent
the theft of high grade rock. The
men have objected to this change
room, and have made a demand for So
per day in addition.
Definite action was expected by the
local officials of the company either
yesterday or on today, and the mat
ter will turn upon the offer of the
company, Its acceptance or rejection.
Should the miners refuse the terms of
the company, the same wages and
change room, then the property will
in all probability be closed down until
such time as operations can be COM
menced with safety and according to
the wishes of the company whose in
terests are at stake. The Seven
Troughs company was one Of the first
TO be gathered in by Utah talent in
the early days Of Seven Troughs ex-
citement, and there are many stock
holders throughout this State and Ne
vada as we'll, The outcome, therefore,
is being watched with much interest.

BINGHAM WANTS To
TIE UP MUCH MONEY
City Government Proceeds to
Confscate Stream, and TrOu-
bic Is Started.

There is trouble on between the city
government of the camp Of Bingham
and several organizations operating
Bingham properties and mill that has
assumed proportions already. The com.
panies affected by the controversy are
the Markham Gulch Mining company,
the Utah Development and the Red
Wing companies, the bone of conten-
tion being the use of the waters that
flow down the Markham gulch and upon
which the Markham Gulch company re-
Gently erected the new concentrating
plant with which TO bring into CONNER
cial form the lower grades of rock
from the Red Wing and the Utah Apex
properties
1t was difficult Monday to secure the
inside Of the trouble. It seems that
the city government of Bingham deter.
mined TO take the waters from the users
down the gulch, and to that end began
on Saturday 10 lay several hundred feet
of pipe. II soerns that the promoters
Of the scheme did not work on Sunday.
The Red Wing company did, with the
result that the first pipe laid was taken
up by the company workmen and hauled
down the gulch. The company IS men
then went to work and laid their own
pipes leading from up the stream to
the mill. This caused consid erablc COM
motion in the camp, and reports from
Bingham state that mass meeting is
to be held which will afford those desir-
ing to do so an opportunity to COM
plain about the companies utilizing the
stream.
Those parties affected by the pro,
cedure made no statement yesterday
regarding the matter. but it Is under
stood that they are amply represented
by attorneys, and that several attorneys
were in Bingham Monday in regard to
the matter. 1t is thought that the ques-
tions involved will be brought to a head
within the next day or two, and that
some amicable adjustment Of the tan
gle will be made. Local circles arc
inclined to believe that the Markham
Gulch company is safe within its rights,
for the management hardly would have
erected the new plant unless the water
rights had been adjusted.

ELY NEEDS SCHOOLS.
No Steps Taken to Provide Schools for
the Many New Citizens.

Ely has made tremendous strides in
the past year or so, making headway
that appears wonderful to one ac-
quainted with the hard work attend
ing the development of a camp by in
dividual and scattered effort. Every
thing at Ely cannot be done in year,
but one versed in Ely affairs is of the
opinion that the great organizations
that are doing SO much for the mineral
zone Of the camp could advance the
cause Of the district by giving the
children of the employees better school
facilities than those now enjoyed,
Experience has been in Utah that
great organizations TO get and 10 hold
the better clement OF employees must
provide good and comfortable homes
for husband and wife, and modern
school facilities for the children. Com,
pIaint has been heard from Ely that
this latter important matter has not
received the attention il deserves, and
as a result the married people are com
planning that their children in many
instances are wasting their time. The
question undoubtedly will be called to
the attention Of the Nevada Consoli-
dated and the Cumberland Ely organi-
cations by those interested. Good
schools, it is pointed out, will do more
towards keeping good men steadily em.
ployed in the camp than big wages.
