cIineS to Talk About Case.

William ST. Clair-for this he says is
his true name and not Bell an all-said
last evening in an interview with The
Herald that he had made partial ar
rangements to secure counsel, but he
declined to state names or to make any
announcement with reference TO his case
until he had secured the advice of an
attorney. Since his incarceration in the
county jail here, the alleged swindler
has been in communication with Ham
ner & Calvin, a law firm of Kansas City
which will either represent him here or
designate a LEGAL lawyer TO look after
Bells or st. Glars interests.
ST. Clair was well dressed and appar-
emily in good spirits. He wore negli-
gee gray shirt and blue tie. When Sher-
liff Emery introduced him he said:
What His Name Is.
'Mr. Bell, meet"
II beg your pardon-Mr. st. Clair, If
! you please" corrected the prisoner.
The sheriff accepted the correction.
Have you secured an attorney, Mr..
st. Clair?"
Il have taken some steps TO secure a
/ lawyer, but am not prepared at this
time to give out his name.
with reference to the robbery with
which you are charged, have you any
statement to maker"
II prefer to say nothing whatever
labout the case"
Where have you been since you left
Salt Lake last fall?"
| A shrug of the shoulders, smile but
a discreet silence

tBell?"
Now 1 would rather not say whether
u have or not"

I'VE understand that letters were
sent by YOU from Riverton, Wyo.. to
Chief of Police Sheets; is that true?'
LAS 1 said before, really must de-
cline to answer any questions relating
in any way to the case"
Have you made any confession or
any admissions relative to the Nc
Whittier robbery to Sheriff Emery or
any one else?"

1T was stated that, in Kansas City,
you expressed a desire to leave the city
in the custody OF Deputy Sheriff Ed
dington on the night of your arrest and
that the plan was for some accom-
plices to rescue you on the way to the
railway StatiOn-WaS that your plan ,"
THAT is untrue. I never expressed
such desire and the statement that
I did so is on a par with some other
things that have appeared in certain
newspapers witG reference to me"
/ DO you care to say anything further
about the case %
is Treated Well.
81 wish to say only that Sheriff Emery
and Deputy Sheriff Eddington treated
me fine while l was in Kansas City, and
on the train. ana since I reached Salt
Lake. In Jail 1 am treated like the rest
of the prisoners, and have no complaint

st. Clair, as he mildly insists on be-
ing called, occupies a cell on the sec
ond floor of the Jail. just across the hall
from one that is occupied by Parent.
Without much trouble. they can talk
TO each other. should they desire so to
90. The cells which they occupy are
not I'm the rotary where the common
prisoners are kept. and they are some
what more comfortably housed than
the other inmates.

REpuBLIcANIsn IN THE SOUTH.

After all, the Republican Party is
making astonishing headway in the
South. In 1904 the vote of Tennessee
was 105,369 Republican, 1868 Demo-
cratic, and that of Texas was 51,242
Republican, 16G200 Democratic. Tho
smaller vote than Tennessee. With this
change the vote IN all the former Slave
States foots up 1858 Republican
and 1.66O,569 Democratic. Few are
prepared for this showing, as the little
rings which have dominated the Re-
publican Party in the Southern States
have done their best to keep the party
from growing. They did not want any
more Republicans than themselves and
by themselves they meant just enough
to hold all the Federal offices in each
State. More than this made annoyance
in getting into office. Therefore. they
combined and consorted with the Demo-
Gratis to keep the number of Republi-
cans down to themselves" Wherever
the Republicans have accidentally won
a victory these men have Immediately
started out with knives for each other
and the new recruits, and a shameful
row among shallow politicians has fol-
lowed. In spite of this, and the general
disfranchisement of the negros, the
party has increased until now it casts
three votes to the Democracy's four.
The National tribune., 1907-06-27
DEFINITION oF RACES.

The Constitution of Oklahoma has
this definition of races:
Wherever in this Constitution and
laws of this State the word or words
'colored or -colored race negro or
negro race are used. the same shall be
construed to mean or apply to all per-
sons of African descent. The term
white race shall include all other per-
sons"
Like all the work in that Constitu-
ton. this is of the crudest in conception
and framing. The intention was, of
putting them on the same plane as
white men. All sorts of difficulties are
to be expected when this comes 10 be
judicially construed. The Supreme
Court of the United States has decided
that white men means people of Eu-
ropean descent and that they and peo-
pie of African descent are the only ones
that can be naturalized. Therefore,
Mongolians, Chinese, japanese, ETC.,
are not allowed citizenship. There is a
atics would claim to be white men and
entitled to citizenship. Furthermore,
a large proportion of the population
of the State must be of mixed Indian
and negro blood. Which strain of
blood is to be considered in descent i?
If a man who is half-Indian and half
negro comes up for adjudication under
this race provision, of which blood is
he assumed to be-Indian or negro?-
