The NIuffiy Bill

The Tom-Toms have been
beaten, the tocsin sounded, and
one, the honorable Mr.. Muffly of
Broadwater, has achieved fame, if
not fortune, by the passage in the
Senate of the Montana Legislature,
of a real Jim Crow Bill.
His supplication of "Oh, Lord,
save US from being devoured by
inter-marriages between the blacks
and whites" has been answered by
the Republican Senate, which has
sat idly by and taken the Ben
Tillman prescription, bitter as
gall, and, withal, viscous and
clearly unconstitutional, without
making a face. Four degenerate
Republicans joined in this move
ment, which resulted in Montana's S
first Jim Crow law. One other
Republican found it convenient to
be just gone when his name was
called; and thus were the blacks
slain in the house of their friends
But the progressive and wide
awake members are not dismayed
and will fight this pernicious
measure to the last ditch. They
will appeal to the House to refrain
from putting this iniquitous legis,
latlon on our statute books, anC
trust that the broad-gauged, lib
eral-minded and conservative men
bers of that body will not endorse
the Senate in passing this meas

ton far-fetched when we say
that the negroes receive the bene-
INT of the two laws acting cum
against them. If they
feel the full force of the latter,
that of the preservation of the
species, and into which has en-
tered the influence of the first
the preservation of the individ-
ual, then there is some philos-
ophy underlying the situation,
and 1t should be brought out that
more reasonableness may enter
the struggle. The President
elect knows it; sensible, informed
men know it. If Mr.. Taft were
not aware of the bias of races as
they pertain to other races, and
ignorant of the remoter causes,
he, as President of all the people,
would command obedience to the
written laws, and attempt to back
lit up by stronger force. Happily
he is aware of what is and what
has been, as most thoughtful, in
telligent Negroes are aware; con-
Sequently he can only use his
larger influence in making men
see the right. Reason, rational
ism is depended on; intelligence,
from which reason flows, will aid
very much in bringing about the
better understanding.
Something is conceded owing
to the known prejudiCes of the
human family and on what they
are based. Men will not get en-
tirely from themselves-ther first
selves-let them try ever so hard.
Our civilization has come to what
/ it is through the subordination of
the individual to the will of many.
In various ways the purely animal
in man has been tanned, so that

ance on what his neighbor has or
ought to have. This same force
or influence, or whatever it may
| be called, is called on now, and
will be called on in the future if
the Negroes are to appreciate
satisfactorily in the scales of civ
ilization.
Since the Chief Executive to
be admits that Fate has not been
kind to the Negroes, it may be
taken for granted that most peo-
pie know it, and most especially
those who fashion Fate. 1t is to
be expected that those who fash
ion Fate or help in the matter
will also concede something in
the interest of the common hu-
manity. 1t stands IS reason that
there's not going to be any ma-

TAFT

That President-elect Taf's heart

question was clearly shown by his
remarks before a representative
gathering of the race last week in
Atlanta. He said in part:

United States can have no more

past has not been kind to you, and
the whole American people have
the highest obligation of trustee

uplift.
at is this country to which your
fortunes must always be attached.
-
Every one Of you knows that
noble and sympathetic men and
women in the South have been of
the greatest aid to your develop
ment, and that you will develop
faster and faster through the efforts
made by the white race to aid in
your uplift"
Perhaps we should expect no
more Of a President than to de-
clare in the interest Of all the peo-
pie, regardless of races. In the
very vexed situation the most that
can be done by the greatest, those
of the greatest influence, is to try
to exert that influence in such a
way that it may tend to correct
abuses. 1t is evident that the peo-
pie. those most concerned, also
know Fate has been anything but
kind to the Negro race. And this
Fate is not of the things inevitable
as we see, but man-made. And
because it is man-made, should
Weld in favor Of the larger status
and as it applies to those of the
country generally. Men and Fate
are convertible terms in this in
stance. Men are not uncertain as
to the methods employed in deal

ascertaining what is right and
proper, or more right and proper
than are now known, is extremely
easy and simple. The golden rule,
that magnificent little doctrine, is
all sufficient.
Really, it cannot be expected
that those most concerned will
subscribe to the golden rule in

The attitude of Senator Amin
Yellowstone County on the

appointment to our people.
He showed his favor for recog-
milton to the race by putting in
the present session a young colored
man as a watchman, and while our
people believe in giving him due
credit for that act; the other
wrong which he has helped infict
upon them by voting for Tillman

favor that they bewail the fact

Because the president couldn't
do any better, Uncle Jim" Wilson
will be Mr.. Taft's secretary of ag'
riculture. Mr.. Taft had made up
his mind to cut out all the Roose-
welt timber and build a cabinet OF
his own selection. When he began
to look for somebody to fill Uncle
Jim's" shoes he ran up against a
stump. There was nothing dom.
So it had to be Uncle Jim" again.
Mr.. Wilson comes from Iowa,
from Tama county, whence the
name "Tama jim" He was born
in Ayrshire, Scotland, Aug. 16,
1886. In 1852 he came to the
United States and with his parents
settled in Connecticut. In 1855 he
went to Iowa, where he began the
farming business. Later he went
to the state legislature, and after
serving in several general assem-
blies was, in 1872, elected to con.
gress. He hid three congresses and
and then held various public offices
in Iowa.
He was confirmed as secretary
of Agriculture March 5, 1897, SO

is really the father Of the agricul.

bined the practical with the theo-
retical and ideal. That is the big
thing in his record. He was pri.
marily practical farmer, but he
was not averse to anything smat.
tering Of advanced ideas. Under
his direction eminent scientists
have worked out problems of plant
breeding, animal breeding, selec-
ton, seed distribution, soil analysis
and practical farm adaptation SO
that the expenses Of the depart
ment have ben returned a hundred
fold in the increased earning power
of American farms. Mr. Wilson is
widower and his daughter keeps
his house and entertains for him.
