WARRANTS TO WORK

LOafing About City.
LAD oooD I'LL oM THURSDAY

Six Offenders Caught one Of Whom
Was Released Upon satisfactory
Proof That He Was Going to Work.
Law Should Not De Abused.
Marshal Arrow has made the right
move, that OF arresting the Migrants
IN the city who hang around the pool
rooms and other places without any
visible means Of support
Accompanied by Policeman Owens
he made round Thursday IN the VI
entity OF the seaboard depot, with
the result that he will have FIVE loaf
ers TO appear before Mayor Davis
this morning.
For some time past large number
Of negroes have inhabited this section
who do nothing and cannot show the
wherewlth to even give them an ex.
cnse for not being classed as Migrants.
and the marshal has wisely decided to
put a stop 20 this condition OF affairs.
This Is only the first step taken by
the officers and from this time on
they intend to enforce this ordinance.
and n the negroes do not hunt Job
the marshal will take charge OF them
and see II the mayor cannot give them
employment on the streets OF the city.
With the proper effort the marshal
is Of the opinion that he will get
enough Of them to clean up the city
and possibly do some repair work on
the streets, unless they seek new
fields or go to work.
This vagrant law should be en-.
forced, but not abused. for there may
be some negroes IN the city who are
willing TO work n they could find
work TO do. Not every man who Is
loafing today Is doing so Of his own
choice.

WHERE BRYAN STANDS,

We hope that every Afro-American
voter will not fail to pay special at
tention ITO the following from the
Washington Evening Star: The Oma-
ha Bee, on the subject of the Negro
and the suffrage, says:
1T would be interesting to know
what Mr.. Bryan thinks of the ques-
ton. The southern wing of the Dem
ocratic party, which dominates the or
sanization, should be magnanimous
and allow Mr. Bryan to- tell the
northern people, particularly the
northern Negroes, where he stands on
the question of Negro disfranchise.
ment.''
"This is useless inquiry. Mr..
Bryans position is thoroughly plain.
He stands just where Mr.. Cleveland
stood, and just where any other man
bearing the national standard of the
Democracy would be obliged to stand.
He approves of the Negro disfran-
chisements in the South, and if Mary
land, West Virginia. Kentucky and
Missouri should join the states which
have already acted he would approve
that. Any other position would be i'm
possible for him. The disfranchise-
ments already affected will give him
nearly forty unconstitutional votes,
and all of his calculations include
that strength Were he to decoy it,
and announce purpose, if elected,
to press for an enforcement of the
amendments covering the matter, he
would commit political suicide. He
would lose the whole support of the
South, and go down in a defeat which
would make Judge Parker's defeat
look almost like triumph by COM
parison."
Any reasonable man can hardly see
that the statements of the Star are

SECOND PROPOSED AMENDMENT.

SECOND PROPOSED AMENDMENT.
The second proposed amendment is
contained In Chapter, 478 Of the Laws of
Minnesota for the year 1907. BY this
amendment It Is sought to repeal Section
sixteen (16) OF Article nine 10y of the
constitution, which section now reads az
follows:
For the purpose Of lending aid in the
construction and improvement of public
highways and bridges there is hereby
created a fund to be known as the State
Road and Bridge Fund Said fund shall
include all moneys accruing from the in
come derived from investments in the
internal Improvement land fund.- that
may hereafter accrue to said fund, and
snall also include all funds accruing to
any state road and bridge fund, however
provided.

such fund for the purpose CT constructing
or improving roads and BRIGGS of this

creatures had from the beginning, in
| experienced and untutored as they
were, was in helpful sympathy and
wholesome influences. They needed
lessons and examples i'm good citizen
ship. They needed to be taught the
value of virtue, honesty and industry,
but the men from whom they had a
right to expect such things only
pointed them to the pathways of cur
ruption and ruin. The history of
the Republican party in Texas is so
infamous, no expulsion of the Negroes
can ever lift it to the confidence of
the people. But it is possibly true
that the Negroes themselves, emani-
pated from the blight and degrada-
tion which their white political asso-
ciates forced upon them, may find the
pathway to useful and honorable liv-
ing less obstructed. At least, let us
hope sO.'
Now the Post cannot deny the fact
that the Republican Party established
public schools for the Afro-American
in every southern state, which exist
to this day, and in addition, many in
stitutions of superior grade all over
the south. Nor can it deny that
hundreds Of the buildings for such
use were burned down by somebody
who is not of the Republican house
hold.
Moreover, the Republican party re-
stored Texas and all the other rebel
states to their place in the union,
through the instrumentaIity of the
Afro-American vote. We may further
remark that the peonage laws passed
by nearly every southern state were
so damnably damnable, as to render
it absolutely necessary for the Repub-
lican party to secure the enactment
Of the 18th and 18th amendments.

reasonable deductions from the sur
roundings in which Mr. Bryan finds
himself. His only hope of election
lies. in the South, and he dares not
utter one word in condemnation of
the most atrocious acts of that Sec
ton OF the country. He even contra
dicted the statement of some promin-
ent colored men who claimed to have
satisfactory assurances from him. He
utterly failed to- endorse the state
ments of Mr.. Watterson. 1t is true
that he may have made some prom
ises that he would do some favors for
such northern Afro-Americans as
would try to secure for him a portion
of the vote of their race in the North,
but, if he did so, he used every pre-
caution to prevent the fact from be-
coming known in the South.

SOUTHERNER's SYMPATHY.

Every once in a while-of greater
or lesser length, some southern
brother becomes very sympathetic in
regard to the Afro-American and
sheds bitter tears over his hapless
condition. But he never is thrown
into this Respondent condition by the
fact that some suspected Afro-Ameri-
can has been lynched, shot to death,
or burned at the stake. 1t occasions
our southern, white brother no sor-
row or sadness when a score of Afro
American churches and school-houses
are burned by night-riders. None of
these things trouble his mind or
worry his conscience. But when it
comes to discussing the relations of
the Afro-Americans to the Republican
party, the Southern brother grows
lachrimose, and refuses to be COM
forted, as shown by the annexed ex-
tract from the Houston Post.
What the white Republicans of the
South, aided by unprincipled Republi-
cans of the North, have done to- sink
the Southern Negroes, whom they had
enfranchised, by appealing to their
poverty and cupidity, constitutes one
of the most damnable crimes of a

TAFT THOROUGHLY TESTED.

1t may be doubted whether the
country has ever had candidate for
the Presidency who was ever so thor
oughly tested as Judge Taft has been.
During the past. seven years he has
been intrusted with missions in re-
gard to matters Of the greatest diff
Guilty and Importance; and in every
instance he has brought about the
most favorable results He has been
intrusted time and time again with
most impOrtants duties of the Presi-
Dental Office and has never been
found wanting. In fact, it may be
asserted that he has already served
as President, as in many cases, the
management Of affairs in Cuba, Pan
ANA and the Philippines has been
left, so far as detail is concerned,
to his own discretion.
On the contrary Mr. Bryan has had
the management of public affairs.
With the exception of term or two
in the House of Representatives, he
has served in no public office, and he
was rather an inconspicuous figure
even in the House. No one can re-
member any important thing which
he did, any great results that he Sc
cured, or any useful policy that he
advocated. On the other hand he
has had as many failures as Beau
Brummel had in tying his cravats.
If the people of the United States
have as much discretion as railway
company exercises in employing an
engineer, they will surely employ
Judge Taft, the competent, in prefer
ence to Bryan the untried.
The Appeal., 1908-10-24

Mr.. Bryan's principles, so far as he
has any that are fixed, trend directly
toward Populism His utterances of
the present day are heterogeneous
mixture of almost every fad and ism
that ever been weighed in the
balance and found wanting. He stands
ready to endorse any creed or doc
trine that may secure a. vote for
Bryan, not excepting Jim crow cars,
grandfather clauses and Haskell.

amendment, has given the right to
vote to every man without regard to
race or color; but this enactment of
the whole people is nullifed by the
Democrats of certain Southern States,
who declare that only Caucasians
shall exercise the rights of suffrage.
The Republican party has taken up
the matter and made it it's platform
a. declaration for the enforcement of
the Constitution.
The Appeal., 1908-10-24

The Department of Justice, under
the Roosevelt administration, has un-
earthed many cases of peonage in
Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi,
and successfully prosecuted many
Southern Caucasians who were hold
ing their Afro-American brethren in
bondage. In every instance the Of
fender was a Democrat.

The Republican managers admit
that some weeks ago they were some

Bryan was paving up in various Sec

the "enemy's country" they are sat-
isfed, even jolly, over the situation.
