The dry counties of West Virginia
have one convict for every 4,O22 of
population. Mcdowell county, wet,
has one convict TO every 100 popula-
ton.
Prohibition has been in effect in
North Dakota for so long q time that
in many counties there are no jails.
Kansas, also prohibition, is the only
other state in the Union that can pre-
sent a similar record.
State prohibition goes into effect
in Mississippi on January lst, 1905.
The Minneapolis Journal says
The Woodworking distillers of the
United States furnished the country
last year the material for 2,429, SOS, $50
complete and glorious jags.
Every resident of this fine country
who got his share secured the making
of twenty.eight full fedged DRINKS.
The spirits produced for the year
were sufficient to keep all the people

CREEK MINING COMPANY that the
price is very likely to oon be ad.
vanced. 1t a still be bought at so
cents on five equal monthly payments,
or q discount Of five per cent for spot

mines concerning the finding of the
same character of rich ore at q lower
depth which has been found one thous-
and feet higher up the ledge, thus
proving beyond all possible doubt the
question OF the immense body of ore,
is one thing which is bound to advance
the price of stock.
Another thing is very late railroad

The Leaders Of the Republican Party
+ And the Republican Candidates As
sisted to Defeat ?. L. Barnett In His
Race for Municipal Judge In 1905.
From an Humble Follower Who Has
sIdestspped His Job.
For about two years past, and even
much prior to that by many, the
thoughtful elements of our race have
been closely watching and weighing
each scceeding event having direct
bearing upon our people. During a
period such as this has been, it is only
natural Of the masses that they listen
to, and IN greater or less degree seek
to initiate, the actions of their leaders.
To refreshen our minds I win recall a
number of incidents of recent occur
ence. Firstly The bold announcement
on every billboard in our city of an
engagement Of the 'Clansman" at one
of our leading theatres; against which,
our leaders rishteousIy protested and
were supported by every sensible black
man and woman in our city.
Secondly came our city election in
which the republican party had nom
mated F. L Barnett for Municipal
Judge Surely none have forgotten
Barnetfs fate-how the other candi-
dates on his ticket each Of whom were
elected, worked openly in many in
stances against him and IN favor of

cIared elected and for no other cause

Negroes Brand Gov. Dsnssn IS a Coward
Open Letter Addressed Executive Plays Hin for Fail
ure to Protect Victims of Wild Mob in ia
The Springfield Riots

A committee Of Chicago Negroes
headed BY the Rev. Den Freeman, Ia.
addressed an open letter to Governor
Deneen, in which he is charged with di.
rect responsibility for the Springfield
riots and the attendant loss of life and
property. The signers urge the Negro
voters of Chicago and Of the state to
support the Democratic nominee, AdIai
E. Stevenson, against Governor De
neen.
The letter follows:
Charles S. Deneen, Springfield. III
Dear Sir: Many of your henchmen
have been annoying US for several
months with appeals to support you for
Governor. We have told them time
and again We could not do it. Since
the Springfield race riot, in which our
people were murdered and hundreds
driven from their peaceful homes, with
no offense whatever except the color
Of their skin, we have regarded the ap-
peals of your friends as personal in
suits to our intelligence and manhood
as members of that race.
you, as Governor of this great
state, did not have the backbone to or
der your home company of the Ma
tionzl Guards, at your very door to
take their guns from the armory and
disperse that mob during its first hour
of death and destruction.
Afraid 70 Call Troops.
Poor old Father Donnegan would
not have been murdered had you done
so. But you were afraid to order your
own city troops to preserve the law at
all hazards, though you were right on
the ground and could have quelled the
mob spirit by a personal appeal-other-
wise by ordering your troops to shoot.
But You were coward, and our
people were murdered, their homes
burned, and they were driven from the
city. God Almighty will lay this ter
terrible crime at your door. What a
mockery of executive efficiency to send
hundreds of miles away to distant
cities for troops while the hendish mob
was destroying life and property. One
volley fred into that raving crowd of
raving outlaws and murderersT would
have ended the riots and taught the
world that Illinois had a Governor in
stead of politician.
"But that mob carried on its awful
slaughter and destruction four, long
lays and nights under your very win
lows. Hundreds of innocent Colored
men and women were driven half
naked from the city. What have you |
lone to enable them to returnl What
The broad ax., 1908-10-31

assurances of protection Rave YOU
given them7 What impression hav.
you as Governor made on the citi.
zens of Springfield, now that no con.
viction of these murderers can be Sc
cured from a jury.
1T is sad climax to your admin
istration. A kind Providence permitted
this crime to happen just in time to
see what manner of man you are Just
before election day.
Catered to Mob Rule.
In the prompt acquittal of the riot
ers the city that was Abraham Lin
coins home is now reaping what you,
Mr.. Deneen, sowed in catering to that
mob. How can any sane Colored man
support you for reelection? If no
conviction can be had of those muir
derers in Sangamon county you have
no business there another minute
Those juries know too well your posi-
ton IN the matter. You showed it on
those awful days Of a mob's harvest
You showed it to them when you dis
missed every Negro attendant at the
executive mansion when you first en-
tered it. You showed it tc them when
you refused the appeal of a commit
tee of educated Colored lawyers, doc
tors, and prosperous business men of
this state for representation in the de-
partments and institutions of the state.
You showed Il to them when you shut
out CoIored men from their lawful
rights to enjoy the benefits of a civil
service examination by your infamous
civil service midnight club.
Those juries in Sangamon county,
in refusing to protect the Negro from
murder, are taking their cue from their
Governor. If, sir, you are a Republi-
can Governor, We prefer a Democrat
Governor Hoadley of Ohio was a
Democrat, but he quickly put down a
bowling mob in Cineinnati-and Ne
yroes were the victims of that mob.
THE Governor of South Carolina is
/ Democrat, but he promptly had
troops on the spot at Spartansburg and
saved the city and the state from the
disgrace of a Negro lynehing.
let Us try a Democratic Governor
n our state. Adlai E. Stevenson your
will do more for the Negro
han you; he viii give him justice
Therefore, we will give that grand man
,ur vote"

EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS.

st. Louis, Sept. 11-Chicago simply
toyed with the cardinals today and beat
them from start to finish, which was
to 8. Accepting every opening and
taking advantage of any situation,
running circles around the cardianis
on the bases and hitting just when
they needed hits, the cubs won almost
without trying, merely getting a good
afternoons practice for the harder bat
ties of the campaign.
Only once were the cubs in danger,
and that was in the third inning, when
Fiester wabbled a bit. The cubs al
ready had pounded Fromme, the pitch
er they most feared of all the cardinals
staff, for three big tallies and were
running easy until sudden batting

were out in the fourth. yielded them
two TALES and came near evening up
the score. Tinker stopped that with

ANOTHER TWILIGHT HOUR.

Detroit, Sept. 11.-Those tigers and
sox have a fondness for carrying the
game into overtime and twilight that
now amounts to mania. They did it
again today, making this one go eleven
rounts. It was the experience Of two
preceding days repeated. save that the
result was reversed. This time the
sox were victors, by 4 to score, the
breaks in the luck, which had favored
Detroit in the other games, coming
their way.
Chicago tore off two runs in the
eleventh and Detroit got pair of men
on the bases in her half of the same
inning, but could not score them.
Primarily the defeat was due to De-
troits inability to hit Walsh when a
hit would mean a run. The tigers had
plenty of chances. No less than eight
men went to bat when an outfeld
single would rescue a runner and failed
to come through with the clout. This,
in one way, and the pernicious activity
of Fielder Jones and f. Isbell, in the
way, decided the outcome

IGNORES BROKEN SKULL

Death by cancer of the brain, super
induced by gas was the verdict of
the coroner in the Harry Pitzele in
quest yesterday, which was held in
McCauley's morgue.
There was nothing in the verdict
that showed how the young salesman
had come by his fractured skull.
He was found on the morning of
Sept. in the dive run by Joseph Horn
on Harbor avenue, South Chicago. He
was unconscious at the time he was
found and the gas jet had been turned
on. He was not dead when found and
was removed to the South Chicago hos
pital, from which he was later taken
to st. Luke's hospital. At the latter
place it was established that his skull
had been fractured.
Joseph Horn, the divekeeper, and
four women who were inmates Of the
place, were placed under arrest, but
yesterday after the coroner had given
his verdict they were released and ex-
onerated.

THAT "CROUCHo CLUB"

The "Groucho Club" recently formed
with A. G. Rider of the Standard Cloth
ing Company at the head, has now
been put on the defensive. Increased

been the cause of it all.

Abe Atell. as usual has succeeded
in making himself unpopular with eoas,
fans. He incurred considerable antag-
onism in various battles by refusing tc
allow fair terms to opponents and
aroused comment by limiting his bout
with Moran to a distance of twenty
three rounds. Abe seems to recognize
the feeling toward him and issued ar
explanation today of why he would not
go to close quarters with Moran.
He said that Moran was too rough 3
fighter at close work and that he die
not care to mix with him for fear OF
having an elbow stuck in his eve OF
some such tactics followed. which
might disable him AS the general i'm.
preston here is that Attell tried &c

only to find himself outgeneraled al
