WA7TERSON ON THE NEGRO
VOTER.
VOTER.

Col Henry Watterson, the veteran
editor of the Louisville Courier-Jour-
nal believes that it is time for the Ne
gro voters to leave the republican
party, and as a democrat, believes that
a special effort should be made to Sc
cure their votes for Bryan. In a re-
cent editorial in his paper he says:
IF the Negroes owe the Republican
party anything for their freedom they
have paid the debt forty times over.
Yet they are held in bondage by the
leaders of the party quite as absolute
as they were held by the planters of
the South under the old slave regime.
They have simply changed the form
of their bondage their new masters,
the Republican politicians, are as ex-
acting as their old masters away
down South in Dixie.
The indefinite continuation of this
is not creditable to the free spirit of
the black people of the North. 1t is
not best for the well being of the
black people of the South. The Cour-
ier-Journal has, therefore, as. their
friend, advised the leaders of the race
in both sections to think about Il

are earnest men, having the good of
their country and of their people at
heart. To them, and to those of their
followers who have minds open
enough to listen to reason the Courier.
Journal says and has said all along
that neither of the two great parties
cares a hill of beans for the black
man, per Sc. The one of them holds
him at arms length and tells him
plainly he is not fit to vote and shall
not vote-which in the Southern
States, is neither unnatural, nor un.
reasonable. The other holds him
in allegiance and tells him he is all
right as long as he votes the Republi.
a ticket, woe to him otherwise.
Thus he falls betwiXt two stools.
Meanwhile it is observed that racial
friction, when it shows itself, is more
virulent at the North than at tine
South. At the South short shift is
made of the barbarous malefactor.
At the North the labor problem en-.
tiers the lists and takes a hand-the
rivalry for work between the blacks
and the whites increasing the racial
conflict and precipitating bloodier tn.

Gov. Patterson's speech at the
Tennessee Colored State Fair was a
happy effort. The Governor, being a
true Southern democrat, is not beg
ging for the Negro votes and on this
occasion did not make a political
speech. Yet, the significance of his
being present at Greenwood Park, a
resort for the amusement Of u peo-
pie that was made possible only by his
veto of an act to abolish the park,
could not but be marked. Candidates
may not "have much respect for the

Garrett Still in Real Control
Of Company's Affairs

Of the difficulties of the COM
pany with the water users.
/. AS amatter of fact, Garrett
has not been secretary of the
company since the 1st of March
1908, and his withdrawal from
that position had nothing what
ever to do with the difficulties
that have recently sprung up.
For a long time previous to
that date he was, in addition to
being secretary and treasurer,
general manager of the COM
pany, and in practice the chief
executive officer of the con-
Germ, although the nominal au-
thority was placed elsewhere.
And that condition exists, un-
.changea, today, the statements
in the Capital News to the con-
trary notwithstanding. The
executive committee, of which
Mr.. Garrett is now said to be
chairman, has, according to the
articles of organization of the
company, 'the general and act
i've management of the busi-
ness Of the corporation" and is
in sole charge of "the purchase
and transfer of all property, of
whatsoever kind and nature.
Mr.. Garrett, therefore, as
chairman of this committee,
has in reality more complete
control over the affairs of the
company than ever before. Yet

The latest move on the part
of the Great Western Beet Su-
gar company, in it's desperate
attempt to regain the conf
dence of the water users of
Mountain Home and of Sunny
side, was announced in the Ev-
ening Capital News of Boise on
Thursday, when there appeared
in that paper a long story, UNI

to the effect that in conse-
quence Of the recent agitation
here, J. III. Garrett had resigned
from the management of the
company's affairs, and would
hereafter have nothing to do
with the financial end of the
business, but would. devote his
time to experimenting the
work of construction which is
now being carried on. Accord
ing to this story, which the Cap
ital News no doubt publishes in
good. faith and on apparently
reliable information, Mr.. Gar
rett has resigned his position as

company, and has become, in
stead, the chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee, with charge

sented by Attorney 0. 0. Haga,
who argued in it's behalf at
some length, and he was sup
ported in the matter by C. H.
Hammett, one of the principal
promoters Of the enterprise,
and also by Consulting Engi-
neer Swanson and Contractor
Slick of the King Hill Co. The
board also considered the re-
port of Engineer Martin, who
had been detailed by the state
engineers office to look into
the matter, and after thorough
consideration, allowed the King
Hill Co. to change it's plans so
as to irrigate the smaller area,
containing about 5000 acres
less than was originally intend
ed. Later in the day it decided
to permit the change in price
asked for by the company, and
also fixed the time in which the
must be completed at
three years.
This decision, while it, gives
the company the doubtful hon
or of having the highest priced
water rights in the state, at the
same time places it in a posi-
ton to guarantee the compile
tion of the project, and makes
it reasonably. certain that the
settler who gets land under
this project will receive an
abundant supply of water for
irrigation purposes. Work on
the irrigation works, which has
been suspended temporarily, !
pending the decision of the
land board in this matter, will
now be resumed, and pushed
forward as rapidly as possible.
