worry and work There is little danger of the apple
culture being done the apples raised the
more will be eaten and if there million times
more raised than there would be plenty OF
market for them and that to at living prices for the
grower Let the interest in the apple show grow
greater every year until the apple will be king not only
in Spokane, but throughout the Northwest
SOUTH CAROLINA SMITH SPOKE
Senator Smith of South Carolina would not even per-
nit the proverbal stranger within his gates to lie down
and for the moment abide peace though footsore and
weary but he prodded and pricked President Taft with
the fangs of negraphobia common to that state,
thereby making the Presidents trip through South Car
olina instead of joy ride funeral procession. In
South Carolina in other state is there any war
rantabe excuse for the Caucasian to take alarm
the Negro seeking social recognition and except
that forced by the white men with the black women
after nghtfa and to keep that subject in the public
mind shows diseased brain than the mistaking
of wind mills for public marauders. For nearly
century that particular part of the South has been
seething cauldron over the Negro. 1t withdrew from
the Union but was whipped back. After a few years
quiet with Timan it's leader it withdrew again and
is today financial wreck account of her cussedness.
AS to the Negro the white statesmen of that state
aggregation of contradictions They declare the Negro
far more brute than human, dangerous animal to be
among people and yet the same fellows pass laws
making it penitentiary ofense for any one to induce
those 'hSack brutes" to leave the state. Senator
Smith attack however ought to convince President
Taft of the hopelessness of breaking the solid south
DR. CORsON OR DUNN A. CRIMINAL.
One can hardly figure out how one human being can
have the heart to brutalize another human being by
degrees and vet there are SO many instances of it to be
found that everybody now knows that it be done
and the brutazer is always able to plead from his view
point some justifable for doing, but when
one white man will brutalize another white man as has
been reported in the daily papers having taken place
in the Jail of Seattle and at the King county hospital it
simply passeth all understanding If the patients at
the county hospital have been neglected by Dr. Corson
as Arthur W. L. Dunn writes to the Star then DR. Cor
son ought be arrested for mansaugher mafeasance
in office and perhaps for forgery and bribery If Dr.
orson is not guilty of the things he is charged with by
Dunn then he Dunn, ought to be arrested on thou
sand counts and given year for each. Either DR..
Corson or Arthur w L. Dunn is dangerous criminal
and should be placed behind prison bars If Dr. Corson
does not take the inntative in having Dunn punished
then it will be taken for granted that Dunns story
true and then the public should demand from the pro-
scouting attorney the punishment of Dr. Corson. In
either case to aay the suspicious Of the public
thing drastic must be dd"
ANOTHER PHASE OF NEGROPHOBIA.
Judge Main of the superior court of King county
listened to arguments pro and con IN case brought by
the Hunter Tract Company to substantate itself in
fsng to deed lot in the Mt. Baker Park Addition to
Ia Negro family on the grounds that the locating in
the tract on the part of the Negro family would de-
preciate the price of the whole property Suppose for
the sake of argument does then must the constitution
of the United States be broken into smithereens in
order to enhance the value of few town lots If the
deed had have contained the much talked of restrictive
clause even then in opinion the decision of the
court would have been the same it If Negroes
can be legally excluded from living in certain localities
for no greater than that their presence depre
cates the price of the surrounding properties then they
can be legally excluded from any municipality on the
same principle. Those Negroes however who seek
homes in such exclusive Caucasian settlements always
Ikeer5 their property looking just about as we'll
their neghbors and for the dominant to keep up
such cruel war on the blacks is simply heartess. For
Gods sake let the Negro alone.
