DISCUSSES THE
RACE QUESTION.

The consideration of this question
cannot, however, be complete and full
without reference to the negro race,
its progress and its present condition.
The 18th Amendment secured them
freedom; the 18th Amendment due
process of law, protection of proper
ty and the pursuit of happiness; and
the 18th Amendment attempted to Sc
cure the negro against any depriva-
ton of the privilege to vote, because
he was a negro. The 18th and 14th
Amendments have been generally en-.
forced and have secured the objects
for which they were intended While
the 18th Attachment has not been gen.
orally observed in the past, 1t ought to
be observed and the tendency of
Southern legislation today is toward
the enactment of electoral qualiffca-
tons which shall square with that
amendment. OF course, the mere
adoption Of a constitutional law is
only one step in the right direction
It must be fairly and Justly enforced
as well. Tn time both will come
Hence it is clear to all that the DOM
nation of an ignorant irresponsible
element can be prevented by consti-
tutional laws which shall exclude from
voting both negroes and whites not
having education or other qualifica-
tions though to be necessary for 81
proper electorate. The danger Of the
control Of an ignorant electorate has
passed. With the change, the inter
est which many of the Southern white
citizens take in the welfare of the
negro has increased. The colored man
must base their hope on the results
of their own industry, self-restraint,
thrift and business success, as we'll as
upon the aid and comfort and sym
pathy which they may receive from
their white neighbors of the South
There was time when Northerners
who sympathized with the negro In
his necessary struggle for better con
ditions sought to give to him the sui
ferage as protection and to enforce
its exercise against the prevailing
sentiment of the South. The move
ment proved to be a failure. VIVA
remains Is the 18th Amendment to tn
Constitution and the right to hav,
statutes of States specifying qualif
cations for electors subjected to tn
test of compliance with that amend
ment. This Is great protection t
the negro. 1t never will be REPEALED
and 1t never ought to be repealed.
1t had not been passed, 1t might
difficult now to adopt it; but with
in our fundamental law, the policy {
Southern legislation must and wi
tend to obey 1t, and so long as tn

A person who has, since August 80,
1890, entered and acquired title to 800

Riverside Establishment of E. j. Berry Gains
Much More Than Merely Local Note

Perhaps the model farm Of the vi
cinity is that owned by E. J. Berry
near the new Fair Grounds, and pop
ularly known as Riverside Farm. It's
completeness can hardly be questioned
when it is learned that Mr.. Berry has
already expended some SIT, 900 upon it,
and has other improvements in pros
pect.
The dwelling house is neat struc-
ture of 20 by 26 feet in size. A recent
ly constructed hunkhouse has dimen-
sions Of Is by "a feet. The large barn,
IS by a feet, is the main attraction
just at present. It has room for ten
horses, and three box stalls. 4 large
feed room and NOW capable of hold
ing 100 tons Of loose hayaare also i'm
portant adjuncts.
Poultry occupies very prominent
place at the Riverside establishment.
The 400 chickens are housed in build
ing 18 by 70 feet, with a concrete floor.
Five cases Of eggs per week are the
net result Of this industry.
The dairy department is in build
ing 80 by 70, with cement floor and
feed troughs. The construction of this
building il Of the Ideal Sanitary Dairy
Barn pattern, obviating many COM
mon difficulties. There is room in the
barn for 81 head of animals, but at
present about ID are being MIXED.
The separator room, in the same build
ing is equipped with a United States
separator Of the latest type.
Two pumping plants supply an
abundance 6 rater at all times for
irrigating purposes. The pumping is
done with 15-horse-power Fairbanks

Morse gasoline engine, which is moved
from one plant to the other. One
throws 6-inch stream, and the other
an 8-inch.
The orchard comprises two acres
of mixed fruit, which was planted
two years ago. It will soon be in ex-
cellent bearing condition.
The crop area IS 85 acres, of which
Il are in alfalfa. 5 in garden produce
and the remainder in corn and oats.
Sixty.fve acres additional are now be-
ing cleared and will be ready for
next seasons crops. The farm as a
whole, comprising 162 acres approx
imately is protected from the inroads
of the Yellowstone by some 700 feet of
rip-rapping.
The experience with hogs has been
Of the very best. Two years ago this
coming August, Mr.. Berry invested
S121 in pigs. To date, some 81, 400 in
pork has been consumed and there are
Is animals left. They are of the
hardy Poland China variety. The boar
was the first prize winner at the Mon
tana State Fair two years ago. There
are 2o acres Of pasture FOR the hogs.
Mr.. Berry has pasture compris-
ing some 400 acres, rented from the
Fair Association, in which the other
stock run at large. Here are kept the
many blooded horses of Riverside
Farm, including the famous stations,
Bishop Cox and Slumber Boy.
Altogether, it is doubtful if farm
in the county approaches the complete
ness of this one belonging to Land
lord Berry of the Jordan It is mod
el to follow wherever possible.

quarters, and when these are received
will commence their work at once. It
is certainly matter Of but a few
days until actual work begins on this
end Of the line.
Reports from Mandan are to the
effect that work has already eommenc-
ed from that end. During the last
week the contractors have been ship
ping in trainloads Of horses, material.
etc. With fair showing, it seems
probable that the line can be com
pleted this season. Then for a bigger,
buster, better Glendive and Lower
Valley.

A number OF Hancock business men
with charitable inclinations have been
called upon during the past week by
a woman, begging for assistance for
herself and husband, claiming that the
latter was sick and unable to work
and that they had no money to buy
food or medicine. She told so pitiful
tale that the sympathies of many
were aroused and she was given sums
ranging from q dollar upwards. one
professional man to whom she applied,
after giving her two dollars, thought
that he detected a strong odor of Ii
