wholesome wit of which all ought
to readily see the point: THAT al

proved to be of the usual stripe of
riots in the South the whites riot

expert sharp-shooters, however,
winged ten of the fleeing blacks,

KINGSTON EARTHQUAKE.
One Thousand Killed and Ninety Thou
sand Homeless.

st. Thomas, d. w. I-Reports re-
ceived here from Jamaica say it is es-
timated that 1000 persons have been
killed by the earthquake and fire and
that 10000 persons are homeless. Ad-
vices received from Jamaica declare
that all people have been warned to
keep away from Kingston. The stencil
is described as awful. Money is use
less. The banks have been burned,
but the vaults are supposed to be safe.
The misery on all sides is indescrib-
able. Rich and poor alike are home
less. Provisions of all kinds are urg-
emily needed. 1t is impossible to say
where anybody can be found. The
dead are being buried under smould-
ering ruins.
The mercantile community suffered
most severely, warehouses falling on
them. Many professional men are dead
or injured. The negroes are looting.
Ghastly scenes are being witnessed.
All the shops have been destroyed ana
all the buildings in and around Kings
ton are in ruins. Few of them are
safe to live in.
1t is reported that an extinct vol
cano in the parish of Portland is
showing signs of activity, but this has
not been verified. No news has yet
been received from other parts of the
Island Of Jamaica, communication be-
ing difhcult. The damage to Kingston
alone Is placed at fully $10.000.000.

Whites Pleased With Rev. Sanders

The Daily Democrat of La Junta
Colo, in its issue of last Monday,
January 18th had the following to
say of Rev. j. w. Sanders, the
General Missionary and Fiscal
Agent of Colorado A. M. E. confer
ence:
Rev. j. W. Sanders who preach
ed yesterday afternoon in the
Presbyterian church is a man of
more than ordinary ability, his
sermon was certainly master
piece. 1t showed thought and
care in preparation and research.
His delivery was good and there
was not a moment during the en-
tire lecture that his hearers were
not edited as well as entertained
The contribution which was taken
at the close proved that it was ap.
preciated, as there was goodlv
sum raised.
The A. M. E. Conference has
made no mistake in sending such
a man out in the interest of their
church.

RAILROAD 6EFI i; STATE.
Governor of Alabama Severely
Criticises Certain Line.

Montgomery, Ala, Nov. In his
message to the special session of the
legislature Governor Conner insisted
that the control and regulation Of the
railroads by the state is a question
more important than the making of
rates or any other matter In that 1t
involves the question of the right OF
the state to control It's internal affairs.
The message goes on to say that Pres.
ident Smith of the Louisville and
Nashville railroad has held out against
the Alabama laws while others have
put them in effect; has defed the
state and It's people by conducting a
lobby at the capitol and openly admit
ted that his company has influenced
legislation in the past; has called the
governors Of Alabama and Georgia
Populistic; has raised rates over night
In defiance of state laws and has gen
orally refused to recognize the right
Of the state to make laws applying to
transportation companies. That the
Alabama rate laws are not confisca-
tory Is evidenced, the governor says,
by the fact that they prevail in other
nearby states and provide profit.
Financial troubles, he says, have not
grown out of laws made to control cor
porations, but are due to the rascality
Of the high flnanciers. The Louisville
and Nashville railroad is charged with
manipulating to prevent use Of water
ways, making rules for handling coal,
demurrage and freight rates that are
arbitrary and seeking generally to
control the state to the detriment Of
the people.

EXTREMELY GRATIFYING.
Presidents View Of the Results OF
Tuesdays Elections.


Tuesdays Elections.
Washington, Nov. '.-President
Roosevelt has issued the following
statement regarding the elections held
Tuesday last:
"The president regards the result
Of the elections as extremely crafty
Ing. He has sent a letter of hearty
congratulation to Mr. Heney on the
result in San Francisco. The victory
in New Jersey was precisely what hap
pened nine years ago in the middle Of
President McKinley's administration.
FIe had carried New Jersey by $4,000
and two years afterward the Repub-
lican candidate for governor had s.
500, the vote being cut down just as
happened in the case of Judge Fort.
As compared with the elections next
preceding the last presidential cleo
ton we have done decidedly better
than we did in 1903. Then, as Tues
day. Rhode Island and Maryland went
against US; but this year we have won
q sweeping victory in Kentucky for
the first time since McKinley's first
election and the victory in Massachu-
sets was also remarkable. The show
ing in Pennsylvania and Nebraska is
equally good. The showing in New
York state as whole was excellent,
far better than was the case prior to
the last presidential election. That
the result in Manhattan was due to
purely local causes is shown by COM
pairing It with the decisive triumphs
IN Brooklyn, Buffalo, Albany and in
the state generally. The presidents
own home county Of Nassau made a
better showing than it ever has in an
Oft year; AS whole the showing has
been an improvement over what it was
four years ago and eight years ago."

BANDITS HOLD UP TOWN.
Gang Of Seven Blow Bank Safe at
Canova, S. D.

Canova, S. D., Nov Seven armed
bandits held up this town about 2
O'Clock in the morning. They blew the
safe in the Interstate bank and Sc
cured $4,000, making their escape an
hour later without leaving the slight
est clew.
While two bandits worked at the
bank the others guarded the alleys
and streets. The occupants of hotel
across the street were aroused by the
explosion and rushed pellmell out of
the building, but the robbers opened
fire and drove them back, threatening
to kill the first one who reappeared.
The hotel was riddled with bullets.
Where lights were burning in homes
the bandits, at point Of the gun, forced
the owners to extinguish them. The
town was terror stricken.

LEGAL Absurditiea.

Some absurd clauses have found
their way into certain acts of the Brit
1sh parliament. One statute enacted
punishment of fourteen years. trans
portation for a certain offense, "and
upon conviction one half thereof should
60 to the king and the other half to
the 1nformer." Then there Isl an act
OF parliament for the rebuilding Of
Chelmsford prison which stipulated in
one clause that the prisoners should
be confined in the old prison until the
new one was built and in another-an
amending-clause that the new prison
should be constructed out of the ma
ter1al Of the old one.

ProhibItlonists Encouraged by Results
Of Recent Election.
Chicago, Nov. i.-With the aboli-
ton Of the saloon as their single aim
the prohibitionists of the country have
opened their national campaign.
Chairman Charles r. Jones of the
national organization of the foes of
liquor has sent out the call to arms to
every prohibitionist in every state and
territory in the Union. In this mes.
sage the leader asserts that the re-
suits of Tuesdays elections in Illinois
and other states where the liquor
question was an issue. coupled with
reports from workers in thirty other
states, induce the belief that the pres.
idential canvass of 1908 should lead to
widespread reform and place prohibit
ton in the forefront of all questions
to be decided at the polls when the
next president is elected.

PER ANNUm
TOO MUCH LEUPP.

If the newspaper reports are cor
rect as to the troubles among the
Ute Indians, it but further illustrates
the folly of filling the office of Indian
commissioner with man who knows
nothing of the Indians, says the
Duluth ws-Tribune. That depart
ment should be transferred to the
war Office, and the commissioner in
charge should be an army officer of
experience among the American
aborigines.
Captain Johnson reports that the
trouble arises from two causes. The
Indians are willing to send their
children to the agency day school,
but refuse to have them sent to
boarding school eighty miles distant.
They are hungry and are being
given but half the rations they had
expected and which they understood
was agreed upon.
To this Commissioner Leupp re-
plies: johnson proceeds on the
theory that the way to handle
troublesome Indians is to set them
off and feed them. That is not the
Indian Office theory. This Office
believes in applying the same rule
to the Indians that applies to poor
and ignorant men of any race.
I'VE believe in finding work for
them and then in permitting them
to 60 hungry if they will not accept
the opportunity to make a living.
These Utes contemporary decline
work, saying that the government
would take care of them"
Proceeding upon this theory, the
agent, under instructions, since the
Indians would not work, permit
them to starve and would shoot
them if they object to !leave the
reservation. He would take their
children from them and place them
in distant schools against their
will.
1t is nonsense to say that the
government believes in applying to
the Indians the same rule that ap-
plies to the poor and ignorant men
of any race" It neither believes in
it nor practices it. No other people
are gathered together and kept on
reservations. No other poor and
ignorant race is forbidden to go
where it pleases to hunt or work.
No other has special schools and is
forced to give up it's children. No
other has rations doled out, nor is
treated as the wards of the govern
ment.
Mr.. Leupp is not the Almighty,
and he cannot transform Indians
into white men in twenty-four hours,
nor by any rules he may choose to
promulgate. Moreover, no other
race at any time owned by right of
possession all the lands which are
now the white mans home.
An Indian is an Indian. The
United States has been a hundred
and thirty years trying to make him
conform to the ways of civilization.
1t has not succeeded, largely because
it has always had Leupps in charge
of it's Indian affairs.
