citizenship in the South, possessed a
power that was too dangerous to be
lntruSted to one so blind to its use.
Southern leaders are praying to their
northern brethern to deliver them
from the PharohS that have them fast
in bondage. A Republican victory
will give them at least fair start for
the promised land.
Word comes to us from New York,
Maryland, Ohio, West Virginia, In
diana, Illinois, Kentucky, :. Missouri
and Kansas, that the Negroes are
more closely united than they have
been for many years. Whatever
complaints they may have against the
Republicans because of some local
shortcomings, are all swept away
when the larger problem of the pres
ervation of their constitutional rights
comes athwart the horizon. Contro-
versies with local managers, if there
are such, will be settled on their
merits in due season, but the Negroes
have made up their minds that the
score can wait until President Taft
is elected and installed in the White
House-which is distinct credit to
their political judgment and discre-
ton. 1t is evident from reliable in
formation that reaches us from all
parts of the country that the Negro
vote will be cast solidly for Taft and
Sherman, and that they will be trium~
phantly elected.
The church people of the District
of Columbia are showing a hearty de-
gree of activity in the fortunes of the
, Republican party. Rev. ]. w. Martin
of this city, has planned two monster
meetings, to be held under the aus

Grand Forks Herald: In the dis

In the spotter case Grand Forks

to State Auditor Holmes and he re-
fused payment on the ground that the
law authorizing the payment of re-
wards to collectors of evidence in
liquor cases had been repealed when
the temperance commissioner law
was passed. The temperance commits.

contends that the old law will there.

March 10 of a group of men accused
of attempting to incite revolution
a few days after President Nord AL

administration.
There was not enough graves dug
for all the persons who were shot,
and one prominent merchant had to
sit and watch the soldiers dig his
future burial place.
AS the firing squad was in a hur-
ry his grave was dug only of sufi-
cient size to allow him to be buried
with his arms and knees together
The bullets failed to kill him and he
was tumbled into the hole, which
was yet too small. Then the grave
diggers pushed him in with their
shovels and while they were covering
him he sought to protest by NOV
ing his hands.

CORNER
Minneapolis MiIIers Claim
Corner Is Being Tried
in Wheat
Knocking II Out by Offering
to Take Other Than
Contract Grain

Minneapolis, Mimi, April 29.-The
Northwestern Consolidated Milling
company, by A. G. Loring, president,
posted a notice at the chamber of
commerce today announcing that on
contracts for what is due it for May
and July delivery, the company will
accept No. / northern, the contract
grade.
The sensation caused by this move
was still at its height when eight
more notices were posted, and what
at first had looked like daring move
of one big company, took on the ap-
pearance of concerted effort on the
part of the millers to stop the price
manipulation that had been going on
| openly in the Minneapolis pit for
some time and had Threatened to
end in corner in May wheat.
The miller's contention is that a
condition was developing that would
| paralize the industry; that while
there is wheat enough there is SO
small a quantity of No. 1 northern
| contract grade in Minneapolis that
| one large firm or combination OF
! firms might control it and run prices
to a level that would make it inn
possible to sell flour and necessi-
tating the closing down of the mills.
Though there might be sufficient
| wheat in the country for all legiti-
mate purposes speculative clique
| in control of the Minneapolis stock
! of No. / northern could put the price
! to almost any level, Notwithstanding
| the anti-corner rule of the chamber
which was framed, to apply when
| like condition existed several years
ago.
The pit men say that they are moi
responsible for the unnatural condi.
ton that has developed, and that an
actual scarcity of old crop wheat
brough it about.
