Your votes for wamon suf-
frage or no wives may be
quite a slogan for the wom-
en-, but that means nothing at
all, for it is utterly impossible for
the women to enforce the threat,
and even if they could they would
be but cutting off their noses to
spite their faces. Where are we
to get the voters of the future if
the marrying business is to stop I?
What is the morality Of the land
to be fed from if the marrying
business is to be stopped? On
general principles we favor wom-
an suffrage, but such cheap clap
trap talk as no vote for woman
no wife for the voter,
makes us tired. Men and women
will either get married and live
honorable lives or they will be-
come criminally intimate and live
dishonorable lives. Which, my
dear madam, do you prefer?
ply in their minds.

John d. Rockefeller may have
gotten the wealth that he now
controls dishonesty, but, be it
said to his credit, he is distribut-
ing it in the places it will do the
greatest amount of good to the
greatest number. He evidently
made the money for the love of
making it and he is evidently dis
tributing it for the love of doing
the greatest amount of good.
When he gave ten million dollars
to the educational board on his
SEVENTEEN birthday he showed
that there was more in him be-
sides the demand for the pro-
verbal pound of flesh. For his
magnificent gift let's all hope that
he will live long and continue to
prosper, for it may mean billion
dollars to the board on some fu-
ture birthday.

AS noticed in these pages sew
eral weeks ago, the striking white
fremen gave as their grievance
the plea that the management was
rying to "place them on the same
equality with the Negro" They
demanded that the Negro fremen
be eliminated and stipulated for
)ther minor concessions. The
strike Immediately took the form
of a race question, and was finally
submitted to a board Of arbitra-
ton composed of David G. Bar
row, chancellor of the University
of Georgia; Hilary A. Herbert,
secretary Of the navy under Cleve-
land, and T. W. Hardwick, who
represented the fremen. The de-

The Northern editors are afraid
hat the railroad management,
with choice between black and
white labor at the same price, will
choose the latter. The Southern
press, however, seem to take the
decision for its face value, and
many representative papers of
that section hail the award as
welcome victory for Negro labor

A man seventy years OF. age
walked from New York to Sacra-
mento, a distance of 1928 miles,
and declares he felt none the
worse for his long tramp. He
thoroughly demonstrated that a

he may be just as good a man at
seventy as he was at fifty.

THE NEGROES RIGHT TO
SHOVEL COAL.
Literary Digest.

The ability to spy an African
in the wood-pile often depends
upon the point of view. Thus
while many of the Southern press
hail the recent decision that black
fremen on the Georgia railroad
shall have the same pay as white
as decided victory for the Negro,
the Northern press are not so sure
about it, and some even hint that
the white fremen in Georgia have,
by technically losing their case,
really achieved a victory of far
'eaching consequence.

Judge Ronald, of the superior
court of King county, is of the
opinion that it is a crime for a
girl in her teens to marry an octo-
genarian, and we agree, but it is
often no worse crime than for a
girl to marry a young rooster in
his tWenties.

Billy Bryan, of Democratic

the Democrats are mean enough to

profit most from the Negroes Geo.
nomic equality" We read fur
Their:

When such equality is estab-
lished, white labor has nothing to
fear from Negro competition. The
superior intelligence of the white
man and his greater productive
capacity are a continuing insur-
ance against his displacement. In
the higher ranks of artizans and
mechanics only a relatively small
number of Negroes will attain the
white standard, but the door of
hope will be closed to no man.
"But if the Negro is to be dis
eliminated against on a wage
basis merely because he is a Ne
gro, an irrepressible industrial
conflict is created in which white
labor is bound to lose. The
cheaper labor will drive the
higher-priced labor out of en-
ployment, just as slave labor
brought the poor whites to shift
lessness and degradation.

to come to Norfolk, owing to emer
gency work elsewhere. He is at pres
ent with General Superintendent Bra
den in the Chadron office where, owing
to the absence of the superintendent

Buckle Boy vital Witness.

Mrs. Minnie Schwartz has received
another letter from her daughter, Mrs.
Marie Buckle of Cherry, ILL.,, formerly
of Norfolk, stating that her return to
Norfolk will be delayed for some time,
owing to the fact that her son, Albert,
has been involved in the court inquiry
as to how the ST. Paul mine, where
over 200 miners lost their lives, caught
fire. Albert, Mrs. Buckle states in
her letter. was present when the hay
accidentally caught fire from the oil
lamp which was worn by young boy
miner at that time. The boy had been
pushing car of hay near the entrance
of the mine, Mrs. Buckle says, when
he inquired of man where to place 1t.
The man, she says. in a rough way
pushed the boy toward the car, with
the result that his cap, upon which
dangled the small oil lamp. came In
contact with the hay and blaze i'm
mediately started. Albert, who was
standing nearby, Immediately made
for the opening and, with the man who
was probably the cause Of the terrible
accident, escaped to the top. The
| man, IL Is said, cannot be found and
has not been seen at Cherry since the
accident. The boy whose lamp started
the fire was among the 200 whose
bodies are still in the mine. Mrs
Buckle says the electric lights, which
caused much talk, were seldom used
in the mine, and has sent her mother
one of the small oil lamps which Is
worn by the miners of the st. Pau
mine.
Until she will be able to leave Cher
ry Mrs. Buckle is one of the hare
workers among the miners. In the bis
building which has been put up neal
the mine at Cherry she helps serve
the miners their meals and in every
possible way is aiding her unfortunate
companions Richard, her other son
who was in the mine at the time o
the fire, has not as yet been brough
to the surface.

court There are only nine JUS
tees In our highest tribunal, and they
remain in office practically for life, al
though theoretically they may retire
after seventy, provided they have

few of them do retire. Three Of the
present members of the court are over
seventy, Chief Justice Fuller and JUS
tees Harlan and Brewer. All of them
have served more than ten years. and
hence they are eligible for retirement
on full pay But do they avail them
selves Of the opportunity? Not per-
ceptibly. In this they only follow prec-

been the exception in that court. Many

M'kAY KNOWN AT oAkDALE.
Man Charged With Brunswick Murder
Entitled to Fair Trial.

Oakdale Sentinel: Joe Mckay is
quite well known here. His father is
w. j. Mckay, who, with his family
resided in Oakdale during the winter
of 1867. Since the family removed
to farm near Brunswick, Joe has
visited this city on several occasions.
A year or so ago he married Wauneta
Johnson, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
willard Johnson, old residents of the
Willow, and they have one child. Joe
Mckay is a man of powerful physique
and has always been more or less of
bully, exercising but very little self
control. The writer has known him
for number of years, and while there
is scarcely an atom of his makeup
that is to be admired, we never cred
tied him with viciousness of such de-
gree that would lead him to commit
murder. However, he is entitled to a
fair trial and if guilty should suffer
the penalty imposed by law. The law
presumes him innocent until proved
guilty and until he has had trial,
circulation or credence should not be
given to idle and unfounded rumors.

Scheme for Good Roads.

Lincoln, Dec. 22.-Secretary of State
Junkin has suggested that the next leg
islature get busy for good roads. His
idea is for law to be enacted by
which every county is permitted to
make a levy or set aside a certain por-
ton of the levy for road purposes for
the construction of two roads, one run
ming east and west and onesnorth and
south in every township in the state.
He figures that under this plan every
person will be living within three miles
of good road. Within a short time,
he believes, such plan would develop
state full of good roads and those
who live off the county roads would
themselves fix up the roads between
their places and the county road.
