the helpless men under ground TO their

tality-murdered in the mine.
And now this deserter of his class
asks the working class which he has
wronged to boost him into a position
to rule over them.
Let Weber remember that you can T
fool all the working people all the
time. The graves of the lonely dead
cry through the ages against the be
trayers of the lives and the hopes of
those that toll.
The working man will yet know that
that mighty ballot is the key to his
industrial freedom.
Hypocrites in the Council.
As an illustration of how much the
members Of the council, both republic
ans and democrats, respect the eight
hour law, the city scavengers are at
this time working from ten to twelve
hours a day, in violation of the state
law. Much these people care for labor,
and much they care for law and order.
GiganticViolation Of Democracy.
The present old party council, not a
socialist in it, accomplished one of the
most gigantic perversions Of the fun.
daments of democratic government that
could well be imagined under a So
called popular government. Last sum
mer it unanimously gave away a
twenty years franchise to the gas
company. II was sneaked through the
council and carefully kept out of the
papers so that the people of Helena
have been kept in ignorance Of the
villainous fraud that was perpetrated
upon them.
The franchise gives the gas company,
in other words, the STANDARD Oil, the
exclusive right to the streets and al
leys of Helena for twenty years. In
other words, these thieving capitalist
seoundrels have given the Rockefeller
Standard Oil interests the right to
plunder Helena for twenty years, give
poor service, charge outrageous prices

such a fact do the workers receive
when capitalist politicians run the city
council.
According to the statistics of Frank
Parsons, professor in the university OF
Boston, and the greatest authority on
municipal figures in the world, gas
could be furnished for Helena at 50
cents thousand and a profit of ten
per cent be made on the investment.
Defy State Laws.
The act of the council was a direct
and fragrant violation of the state Law
Of Montana, which expressly provide:
that all franchises must be submitted
to the vote of the people before they
can be passed upon at all. The whole
miserable transaction is null and voit
whenever the socialists get ready tC

The people are the only ones whC
can give a franchise away. Alderman
Swartz protested against the illegality
claiming the matter should be submit

Attorney Counsels Against Law.

Northern Pacific, appeared as advocat,

that the rabble should not be consulted
A short time previous to this a dele

BERKELEY, Nov. 7.-Attracted by
the remarkable achievements of Ed
mund Heller of the University Of Ca
lifornia in his explorations of strange
and little known lands, President
Roosevelt has selected this 26-year-old
youth from a list of hundreds of emf
nent scientists and naturalists of the
nation who aspired to the place, to ac-
company him in. wilds OF Africa

Tho bonor comes to mia

| first learned when his mother, Mrs.
Marion Heller Of Riverside, received a
letter from the youthful explorer, in
which he declares that the President
has sent him a cordial invitation and
requested the State University Mu-
scum authorities to release him for a
Iyear so that he can accompany the
Roosevelt expedition. He was recon-
mended by Professor John Merriam of

In this letter Heller modestly tells
of the great honor offered him, giving
the personnel of the party and its itin-
erary, and outlines some of the duties
that will devolve upon him.

.LAHEY WANTS TO
BOX REILLY

SAN FRANCISCO November T.
Joe Lahey who has just returned from
Honolulu, where he gave Charlie Reil-
" a hard fight for fifteen rounds,
which was so close that there was
much dissatisfaction expressed over
the decision, which was given by the
referee in favor of Reilly, called on
the sporting editor of The Bulletin this
morning and deposited 800 in cash
to back up his challenge to Charlie
Reilly for a return match at 12S
pounds. Lahey says he is willing to
box Reilly six or twenty rounds for
$3.50 a side and winner take all. The
800 is here at The Bulletin Office and
as soon as this amount is covered by
Reilly, Lahey says the remainder will
be put up. Lahey is confident that he
can defeat Reilly, and claims that he
should have had the verdict and that
a draw was the very worst he should
have received.

TEXT Of REPORTED
TREATY WITH JAPAN

Following is the text Of the treaty
reported by the Hawaii Shinpo to
have been concluded between the Unit
ed States and Japan by Ambassador
Takahira and Secretary Root, which
that paper says will not be officially
announced until February.
1.-THE Government of the United

in order to augment the existing
friendly relations between the two
governments, and in the hope that
possible future misunderstanding may
be avoided, enter into this agreement.

lieve in the preservation of the terri
torial integrity of that Empire, and,

I'VE have sent out literature to ev-

that racetrack gambling was not mix

playing the ponies has been at the
bottom of the trouble. Statistics Of
surety companies show that IS per
cent of all dishonesty is due to this
cause, but from my experience I would
say the percentage is greater.
1T is absolutely the greatest dan

that we cancel a bond just as soon as
we find that a man on whose surety
We go is visiting the racetrack or a

SEPARATE SCHOOLS
FOR NEGRO VALID
Important Decision by the United
States Supreme
Court.
RACES
Kentucky Law Forbidding Joint Edu-
cation of Whites and Blacks
Upheld.

WASHINGTON, November 9.-In
deciding the case of Berea College
against the State of Kentucky favor
ably to the State, the Supreme Court
of the United States today held that
the States of the Union may consti-
tutionally legislate to prevent the CO.
education of the white and black
races. The case was instituted to test
the validity of the State law of 1904,
prohibiting white and black children
from attending the same schools.
The higher State Court took the po-
sition that the white and black races
are naturally antagonistic, and that
the forced separation of the children
of the two is in the line of preserva-
ton of peace.
The decision of the Supreme Court
was handed down by Justice Brewer
and affirmed the finding of both the
Kentucky Circuit Court and the Court
of Appeals. Justices Harlan and Day
dissented.
Justice Brewers opinion dealt en-
tirely with corporations as affected by
the Kentucky State law and did not
consider the question of its applica-
/ bility to individuals. Proceeding upon
the theory that a State has complete
control over corporations as its own
creations, he then construed the law
of 1904 as in effect an amendment to
the charter Of Berea College.
