"The American Race Problem" !"

Miss. for many Years lecturer and con,
tributor of magazine articles on til,

papers on this subject in Il book called
"Th" American Race Problem" Mr.
Stone throughout his book endeavor-
To tell the truth. As he has seen it. A.
Il Mi>>i>>ippian and as Il cotton planter
the author has had exceptional oppor-
tunitie> for Il close study of the negro
Aside from this. he has devoted fifteen
wears of his life to study of the va
ri"u> phenomena OF racial contact and
has studied all literature that has ever
been written on the subject. Mr..
Stone has also made numerous Journeys
To study the negro in all parts of the
United States and in the West Indian
islands
The book is supplemented by three
papers by Prof Walter F. WILCOX. Il

Der Of homesteads to be offered.
There will, despite the immensity
Of the tract to be offered, be two,
three times, yes, perhaps ten or
twenty times as many anxious
ones to register. Truly this is
the hand writing on the wall
which spells the end Of the ma
tional domain. the end Of all de-
sirable land yet to be had free.
Nevertheless, in the face Of this
mad quest for these reservation
lands, there remains the fact,
that in the Lennon land district
alone there are left to be taken
up, by whomsoeVer win, practic-
ally 1000 homesteads. And these
lands are ayefagingly as good
as those Of the reservation,
bat may be had as free as
the air, subject only to home
stead restrictions, and by the
very first man that asks for them.
All Of them are commutable
after fourteen months residence,
and the homesteader will not
have for neighbors a motley
crew Of Indians and breeds, but
sturdy progressive Yankee, Nor
Wegian or German farmers. And
there are now building network
Of railroads, which will make
every acre available and within
reach Of the commerce Of the
world. What is true Of the Lem
mon land district, is also true Of
the several land districts to the
south. Why in the name Of
common sense, why tren, tarry
ye idly?

Recently the drawings in the
Flathead, Occur d'Alene and
other western reservation regis
trations were completed. In the
Flathead reservation there We're
fourteen times as many names
registered as there were lucky
numbers. while in the Coeur
d'Alene drawing only one chance
out Of 81 was offered the persons
registering, and the ratio Ia
another stood as low as | to 90.
So great was the demand for the
land, and SO slender the chance
to profit by the governments S
offer. Let it be remembered,
further, that Of the chances Of
fereG, some of the lands must
needs be poor and will not merit
the effort to obtain it, and then,
even after a lucky draw the
party getting his land, will have
to pay a good, round sum for it,
and comply with certain require
ments as to settlement and i'm
provements. Pretty soon we shall
have a drawing at our very door.
The public hereabout are fairly
well conversant with the con-
ditions that are to govern. And
yet, when the registration takes
place, who will doubt, but that
the number Of registrations will
far and away exceed the nun

The assessed valuation of
Perkins county seems to go a
long ways toward proving it the
banner part Of old Butte. With
its valuation Of slightly more than
two million dollars it makes a
showing Of nearly as much as
Harding and Butte combined.
And the assessment is but Just
at that. This fair valuation of
the assessable property of Per-
kins county means much to its
people it is the index of prog
gress and progressiveness and
if Capt. Barrett had anything to
do with putting the county down
at its true valuation, why, that's
a feather in his cap and the old
gentleman has nothing to be sor-
ry for even if a few soreheads
don't like it. The Germans have
a proverb: IF you pass your
self for herring you will be
eaten as a herring, and if you
pass yourself for a trout you will
be eaten as a trout" Perkins

OF barley at the same time will
nearly 7C bushels of barley as ;
result. Gaighbor Salzsieder haC
also pulled up with a big load Of
oats. That load threshed out 9.
bushels. Salzsieder has only 81
acres Of such oats to house it he
ought to have small elevator OF
his own. For it will not do tc
sell it to the elevators at present
prices, when everyone knows
that next spring it will safely
bring ID to 20 cents per busheI
more. So the homesteader is
again in trouble he has to start
right away to build shelter for
the bounteous crop with which
the fields are weighted. In the
midst Of this burden, however.
there is cause for rejoicing: Lum-
Der is Well down, and can be had
at prices far below the prices of
the last two years. Nevertheless
many poor farmer will have to
pitch a tent by his piles of grain
lying on the prairie, to watch
over his treasure rather than
take the risk of having somebody
else assist in the harvest by a
midnight visit.
The other day a case of quasi
peonage came to our notice
which does not reflect very cred
ltably upon certain people. One
poor Russian-German, blest with
abundance of children, found it
necessary to have his oldest
daughter, lass Of II years, to
go out as maid servant, to assist
in the maintenance Of the family.
An agreement was entered into
with another Russian-G German.
that the girl was to work for
him as hired girl for nine months
for the stipulated price of S135
for the season. So the little
girl went to work as she thought
to do all manner of household
work, and an occasional stunt of
hight work in the garden, as is
customary with those sturdy
people. But what she did have
to do was to go out into the field,
ploW, harrow, break, tend the
horses, pump the water, clean
out the barn in all sorts of
Weather-in fact, do the work of
a burly hired man, until her
strength failed her and her
health broke down. And when
she told her master she was 60
ing to quit, that worthy threat
ened her with a thrashing. 1t
is cause for rejoicing that upon
our free prairies such serfage
cannot long be indulged in with
out being detected sooner or lat
er. The father discovered this
sorry state Of affairs Just in time
to save his daughters health
and took the girl home. But the
master insists that the girl in
going away, broke her contract,
and refuses to come to the front
with two or three months pay.

Our Editorial RambIe.

sheep that average better thar
25 pounds of wool per clip? Such
Ia flock, you may rest assured,
would be better than gold mine.
We have learned from the sheer
men, since coming out here, that
an average clip of say eight
pounds is considered very good
and yet, we were somewhat
skeptical, when we heard the
other day that c. N. Cooper had
bought Tom Gordon's remnant
of sheep, some 25 head before
clipping - which on clipping
proved to average far and away
better than that. Indeed, Tom and
Cooper We're willing to wager
that the wool from a certain four
Of them would weigh IS pounds,
while one old wether had yielded
better than 25 pounds for sever
al years. Now, here's Dad Ward
Of the county corner-Dad knows
something considerable about
Sheppard promptly poohooed
the idea. Well, argument did
not settle the matter, and so,
after argument Dad Ward and
c. N. each solemnly deposited a
'V' with Oscar Olsen, with the
understanding that the whole
sum should go to Mr.. Ward, if
that clip proved lighter than rs
lbs, and to Mr.. Cooper, if found
heavier or as heavy. A few
days afterward the wool was pro-
duced, Oscar weighed it, and it
proved to weigh Is pounds and
half a pound more. Whereat
Oscar felt that his duties of treas
urer were at an end and he
turned the coin over to G.. N.
Still, Dad isn't exactly satisfied
and asserts that he will make a
similar wager when the occasion
presents itself-but he will be
right there when the ram is
trimmed -intimating that while
both Tom Gordon and C. N. are
capital fellows, the one has had
too much schooling in the ranch
ing line, and the other has had
too many lessons in South Dako-
ia politics for him to try to
match up to,

was in a peck Of trouble and all

GOMPERS REPLIES
TO DR.. ELIOT

BY United Press Leased Special Wire
WASHINGTON, oct. 21-"Former
President Eliot has now nothing to oc-
cupy him but 20 talk
This was the caustic comment pass
ed on Dr. Charles w. Eliot. by Presi-
dent Samuel Ciompers OF the Ameri-
labor leader was shown the Unised
Press despatch from Gambler, Ohio,
containing the substance of Or. Eliot's
remarks there.
Former President Eliot lives in ap
age which he does not understand"
said Gompers. "Since the time he
was mentally capable of approaching
industrial and commercial conditions,
development has gone on. The con-
centration Of industry, In which combi-
nations. corporations and trusts have
developed, have all escaped him inso-
far as concerns their influence upon
the individuality Of the workers The
division. subdivision and specilizaton
of labor has rendered the workers alb
solutely helpless individually. and il Is
only by association in trade unions
and foderations that the toilers can
obtain some Of the rights which, as
individuals they are totally unable TO
maintain. The organizations Of labor

things are going to smash long before they have
started to 30 anywhere. A great machine is
moving and crushing things, they say, although
we must admit that we have sometimes believed
that if there were more of machine, if there
were some leader who would put the screws
things, when necessary, It would be better
for it is well known among those in touch with
political affairs that our two Senators have real
ly very little to say in the management Of the
party affairs. The blame, however, for any
thing that goes wrong is put on them.
The speculation and discussion will go on.
Doubtless it will do no harm. The Republi-
cans ought 10 be in better shape than they have
been for years in Delaware. They were in con-
troll of every department Of the State, had all
three counties and this city The Democrats
have control OF Kent and of Wilmington The
people therefore, have had taste of what could
be expected of the Democrats. Many voters
had almost forgotten that there was a Democrat
c party in Delaware it had been out of power
so long. Certainly they had forgotten how the
Democrats used 10 manage things when in pow
er So the promises OF the speakers during the
campaign were taken in by big ears. Well, the
Democrats have had an opportunity to show
what they can do They have simply proved
that they are the same old partv with possibly
the corporation element more firmly in the sad
die than ever before.
