Washington, D. c. March

defended the President for dis
charging Awi'hout honor the
negro soldiers participating in
the Brownsville, Texas, riot al G

cause Of the coutemp tible man.

Gratis were sincere in their de-
tense of the President, and they
believed him sincere in his action
in discharging the troops. 1t is
now a matter of common gossip
IN Washington that Senator
Foraker, of Ohio, has made it Sc
warm for the President that hi
has been compelled to make an
effort to right himself with the
colored race, and in order to do
so has had the Judge Advocate
General of the Army secretly
prepare q affidavit for the dis
missed negro soldiers to sign in
order to be reinstated in the
Army. The affidavit sets forth
that the soldier signing same
took no part in any riotlng at
Brownsville, and that heknows OF
40 soldier who did participate in
the affair. Every one of the
dismissed negroes signing this
affidavit has been rejnstated to
his old position in Uncle Sans
Army, and may go forth and
Stay other white people object
ing to his attempts at social
equality. This action on the
part of the President has prac tt
cally destroyed all confidence
southern men had IN him. They
realize that he is not to be trus-
ted in anything he does or says.
They have wanted to believe him
honest, sincere, and patriotic,
but this latest throw-down has
been too much for them. They
now consider him a tricky poll
tician who would stoop to any
low act that would inure to his
personal benefit.

Nearly the entire cotton pro.
duction of the British colonies,

Labor SHORTAGE Continues.

Although the strike inaugurated
by the Western Federation has
amounted to about as much as was
anticipated by the general public
at the time of it's institution and
the men have made a signal failure
in all attempts to gain point, the
strikers are not returning to work
at their old places but instead con.
tinue to leave for new fields, plac.
ing the Mesaba mines up against a
shortage of men for both under.
ground and surface.
New men are gradually coming
in and taking the place of the
strikers but the delay caused by
the action of the labor leaders in
ordering the strike has caused a
considerable reduction in the ore
production of many mines for the
season.

WILL EXPLORE NEW COUNTRY.
longyear Exploration Co. to do Work
in Otter Tail County.

~ OllcC UoU IOuuIys
Drilling on the new Longyear
iron ore range in Otter Tail county
is expected to begin in few months,
an agreement between the farmers
and representatives of the Longyear
Exploration company having been
made.
For years, there has been talk of
iron ore in Otter Tail county and
now it seems an assured fact that
the ore is to be had there in paying
qualities and quantities. The
residents of that section confident
ly expect that the course of a few
years will see ore going out of there
regularly for Duluth and the docks.
The district has already assumed
the name of the Longyear range
and begins somewhere near Vergas
and extends in an easterly direction.
striking the village of New York
Mills. Drills will probably be started
at work there soon. The dip needle
shows strong attraction in the
vicinity.
Representatives of the explora-
tion company have bought ore
rights options on lands in the
towns of Newton, Otto, Leaf Lake,
Rush Lake and other points in Otter
Tail county. More than $1,000 has
already been paid out to the farm
ers through the New York Mills
bank, and nearly 1000 acres of land
has been contracted for.
The company paid the farmers
$3.50 per acre cash for options on
the ore rights for a period of four
years, and if at the end of that time,
enough ore is found to warrant
mining, they will pay the farmers
$3.50 per acre for their land, as
described in the contract in no.,
less than forty acre tracts.
The farmers were dissatisfied with
the propositions at first made and
secured this last deal instead. The
farmers got more money, but the
exploration company cut out sever.
al hundred acres of land they had
been negotiating for.
The development of new iron
district in Otter Tail county is being
closely watched by Mesaba and Yer,
million range mining men. That
ore bodies extend beyond the west
ern boundaries of the Mesaba range
has been proven by the finding of
ore near Brainerd, that district be.
ing known as the Cuyuna range.
There is ore there, but while some
preliminary operations we're carried
on, they have been abandoned for a
time.

labor's Day non0red.

While no public exercises or de
monstration of whatever nature
marked Labor Day in Virginia, the
mines. mills and stores were closed
in most instances and the men who
toll permitted the well-earned day
of rest specially set apart for them.
The weather was right, the spirit of
the day was righttully entered into,
and la Dor returned to its accustomed
path the following morning with a
feeling that the world was not such
a bad old world after all.

IHE mayor was an early riser on

Missabe crossing to see that the
horney-handed striker did not in.
terfere with any of the workmen
who desired to make an honest
dollar on labor's day. Should the
mayor put forth half as much

laws were enforced in his bailiwick
he would doubles find more viola
tlons than enough and would have
less time to look after peaceable
citizens who look after something
to which they think they are en-
titled.

ROYCE SEES WAY OUT.
Would Have Bailey as Compromise
Candidate for Governor

John Q. Royce, state bank commits
sioner, took with him to Ottawa and
placed on exhibition there a boom for
Willis J. Bailey as a compromise can
didate for governor of Kansas
Just to give Bailey what is due
him. said Mr.. Royce, "I am in favor
of electing him governor for a second
| terms. If nominated he couldn't be
| beaten, and if the square dealers and
machine crowd want to get together
and agree upon a man, there is no one
better than W. J. Bailey. I don't know
whether Bailey would take it, but 1
am in favor of giving him a chance at
it."
There are three reasons behind Mr.
Royce's move in bringing out Bailey
as a candidate for the Republican NOM
ination for governor Mr.. Royce states
them about as follows:
First-To give the office to somebody
for one term only in order that gov
nominated for reelection at the same
time, and avoid a fight every two
years.
Second-To give W. ]. Bailey anoth-
er term as governor to which everybody
believes him to be entitled.
Third-To reconcile the warning fac
items within the Republican party, and
make them unite upon candidate for
governor as they have united upon a
candidate for the presidential nomina-
ton.
There were a number of we'll known
men at Ottawa talking about the polit-
icaI situation said Mr.. Royce today,
'among them being Senator Fred
Quincy of Salina, Senator Porter of
Montgomery, and others, and Senator
Quincy expressed the wish that the
Republicans of the state might agree
upon some good man for governor.
Senator Porter said he had been hoping
for the same sort of an outcome 1
suggested that the opportunity was a
fine one to give w. J. Bailey the sec
ond term as governor which is due him,
and the idea seems to be very well re-
gested that we should nominate some
man for governor who would agree to
take only one term. But you can't tie
a man UP to that sort of a pledge. If
we want to have all our state officers
nominated the same year, we can do no
better than to give the nomination to
W. J. Bailey. Of course he would be In
office for only one term, and I believe
that he would be satisfactory as a COM
promise candidate
John Q. Royce was originally a
friend of Bailey, and was opposed to |
any fight being made on him. He adj |
vised Hoch to stay out of the scrim- |
mage. and got Hoch to write the cele- |
brated letter in which he declined to |
get into the race against Bailey. Mr.. |
Royce claims that after that letter was |
to 'bawl OUT Hoch, and say |
he was afraid to run, and that this |
made Hoch mad and he had to go in /
and fight to save his self respect. Royce |
supported Hoch, but he has never at
tackled Bailey.

H. c. Bowman and Fred Knapp Have
Narrow Escape.

w. H. Haskell, warden of the state
penitentiary. is in Topeka today He
has just returned from Minneapolis
where he attended the National So
ciety of charities and corrections and
visited the saltwater penitentiary.
Warden Haskell also brought the
news that H. c. Bowman and Fred
Knapp. of the Kansas board of control,
had narrow escape from being suf-
located in hotel fire.
I'VE were all stopping at the same
hotel in Mfnneap polls, said Mr.. Haskell
but Bowman and Knapp had back
rooms, and Mrs. Haskell and l had a
front room. 1t was about 5 o'clock in
the morning when the fire broke out.
The hotel employees came down the
hall waking up the guests and telling
them to get out and 1 looked out and
figured that we had plenty of time to
dress. So we dressed and retreated in
good order. But Bowman and Knapp
were near where the fire started, and
they had to be carried out of their
rooms. They were about smothered,
and complained of severe pains in
their lungs for some days The fire
originated in a grocery store next
door"
Asked concerning the binding Irvine
situation, Mr. Haskell said: I'VE had
orders for about 100000 pounds but
owing to the crop shortage, causing
cancellation of orders. I expect that
we have not over 100000 pounds still
on the order books. I expect we will
carry over half million pounds. This
is due in part to the fact that many
more farmers will harvest with head
ers this year. We would have sold
half a million pounds of Irvine in Okla
homa II the crop had not failed. We
expect to sell some Irvine in Nebraska
this year. have sent out 10000 cir
culars to farmers advertising our
Irvine. Our price is u cents in lots of
over 5000 pounds. and 9 cents in lots
of less than 5000 pounds. This is a
little less than the prices of competi-
tors. The Minnesota penitentiary
charges s q cents a pound for its
Irvine. 1t has a plan by which it takes
the notes of the farmers in payment
for Irvine, a thing which we can not
do. 7 expect it would be easier for us
to sell If we could sell on notes. Many |
farmers prefer to pay the half cent |
extra and buy Irvine from their dealer, |
rather than pay the cash. This is es-
pecially true of small buyers
1--WE have a better grade of binding |
Irvine on the market this year than we 1
have ever manufactured before The |
plant is now shut down. and will not |
be opened again until September. If /
we had had a good crop this spring |
there would have been no difficulty in |
disposing Of the twine."
