The reasons-shiftlessn and a
large Negro populatioh-which were
put forward elsewhere for the enact

obtain in Oklahoma, as was shown
above, nor will they affect the Indian.

tribe of Indians-the Apaches-
that, so far as l know, actually farms

LAST OF NEGRO TROOPS
SAIL FOR PHILIPPINES

Chicago, July 25.---In pursuance
of the policy Of the war department,
the two remaining troops Of Negro
cavalry at Fort Sheridan left today
for the Philippines, and no more col
ored troops will be quartered at the
post. Their places will be taken by
several squadrons Of the, Thirteenth
Cavalry, which will come in Septem-
Der from Fort Riley, Kansas.
Nine squadroDs Of the, Ninth Cav
airy regiment, colored, were brought
to Fort Sheridan from post In Ten
nessee last August A few days az
ter their arrival numerous complaints
were made regarding the. presence Of
the Negroes by the citizens Of the
vicinity, the citizens Of Evanston and
Lake Forest raising a veritable storm
Of protest.
REQUESTS that the Negro soldiers
be removed as soon as possible were
laid before the war department by
Senator Shelby NJ. Cullom, but for a
time no action was taken in the mat
ter. It was the Brownsville affair
according to Fort Sheridan officers,
which convinced President, Roose-
welt that it might be well to send all
the colored troops to the Philippines
and Cuba. All OF the black warriors
formerly stationed at Fort Sheridan,
except the two troops which depart
ed today, are already in the Philip
pines.

RAILROADS AND COURTS

North Carolina railroads are any

ture. They accepted without a pro-
test the measure compelling them to
separate the races, but the outlay re-
CURED to meet the requirements Gf
the "Jim Crow" law, even though
first and second class accommodate
aions were furnished both races, was
a mere bagatelle as compared with
the loss they anticipate from the new
rate law. Hence the opposition
which involved the State and nation
al courts and threatened at one time
to disrupt the peaceful relations ex-
Using between the governments at
Washington and Raleigh.
Tor that little tempest in a teapot,
and 1t could have been avoided easily
by the adoption of the methods used
in Missouri, where similar conditions
obtained. There the court held that
THE railroads should prove their con-

tanned by reducing passenger rates,
and the law will be operative suf-
faelent time to give all interested par
ties an opportunity to produce facts.

more spectacular course and the rail-
road representatives found them

a conference with Manager McCarey

ferent things he demanded, and a set
OF articles was drawn up which was
satisfactory to all concerned. The
articles will not, however, be signed
until Tommy Burns, manager of
Memsic, arrives from San Francisco.
and posts his forfeit money. The
only Wrangle In the proceedings was
caused by Selig demanding that NC
Carey deposit 1000 as q guarantees
that the club would pull off the fight
McCarey refused to do this, claim
ing If the fight was not pulled on 1t
would be from no cause on his part.
and as a compromise agreed to place
in JefHries' hands, who will referee,
$4,000, and when the men enter the
ring, to place an additional $4,000 in
JefR's hands, making $4,000, win,
draw or lose The weight will be
1873 pounds ringside, stripped. The
club demands that the fighters weigh
every day for a week before the con-
test, so that the public can be sure
there will not be another Nelson
Herrera fiasco. Every demand made
by Selig of Memsic was gracefully &C.
ceded to by the latter.

AMERICAN GIRLS.
One Of Vintage of AZ Expresses
Herself.

81 don't know what the world Is
coming to-" sighed New York wo-
man Of the vintage of AS to New
York Evening Sun representative.
Thine was when we used to go down
to Castle Garden and watch the i'm
migrants come in for the purpose Of
congratulating ourselves on being
American girls.
You know how the immigrants
look when they come in, the women
and girls weighted down with huge
the worldly goods of the whole fam
lily, and the men and boys walking
along with their hands in their
pockets. ! We used to feel so sorry
for the women and the girls and so
indignant with the men, and along
with it all so proud that we were
born in a country where all women
were treated with consideration, not
made the burden-bearers Of the
whole family.
Now, from all can see and hear,
1t appears that American girls are
no longer proud Of the way their
fathers and brothers have been re-
lieVing them of burdens. They not
only want to carry all the boxes and
bundles of the poor immigrant wo-
men, but they wish to take on them
government.
y don't know anything about the
suffrage question. I'm neither for
nor against it, but / do know that if
had rather be an American woman
than any other created being. That
is, Of course, under the old order
| of things. i have had men protect

have found 1t pleasant enough to be
willing to live it all over again. u
But suppose you had to earn your
own living, be your own protector,
with no one to humor your whims,
what them" asked the suffragist.
eff just had to suppose / should
do my best; but I don't like to think
Iof such a possibility. If / just had
to be a drudge, 1 suppose l would
want as much money as the. men
| drudges, and in time I might want
| the ballot
That is all we are asking for"
the suffragist rejoined. industrial
conditions have forced us out of the
homes, driven us into the army of
| workers. Since we have to do mems
work we wish mems pay and their
privileges, the ballot We only wish
for fair deal and no favor"
Fair deal and no favor! How many
women in this land Of the free and
the brave would be content with a
fair deal and no favor? A fair dealo
Yes. When it comes to no favor there
will be precious few who are willing
to sign their rights away even for the
power of the ballot So long as wo-
men nature is woman nature and the
American man is the American man
the American woman will claim and
| get favor. Unless the signs Of the
times have been stacked in the shut
file she will also get her fair field.
