EDITORIAL
UNIoNIsM AND THE NEGRO.

The fundamental law Of the la
Dor union is all right, but the
spirit of the organization is in
imical to the welfare of the Negro
or colored race. (Some " colored'
people claim that there is no such
race as Negro. y
They claim to be organized
specifically for the benefit of the
laboring people-the common
people, but they are organized
against their best friends, the
capitalists and the colored man.
Therefore. they may expect for
the capitalist and the Negro to
be antagonistic in self defense.
Union labor declarations have
plenty Of good men who believe IN
square deal for all, but the ma
jority do not.
We do not believe that union
labor as an organization can live
and retain potentially, because
the spirit of the organization is
not democratic, but despotic and
monopolistic-the very thing they
cry out loudest against.

Regulated Saloons Help Colored
People.

For the saloons to be run or
derby and under strict regulations,
is a great asset for the colored
people. In any town or city where
saloons are run "wide open" and
the people are allowed to drink
and do as they please, the cclored
people are the sufferers. If a
drunken thug kills a colored man
in a saloon, they swear lies and
the murderer is acquitted. The
same is true Of mobs. So DOM
forget to help protect yourself.

REPUBLICANS WIN IN MARY.
LAND.
Famous Diggs Disfranchisement
Measure Defeated-Gorman-
ism Repudiated.


The victory in Maryland for
the Republican party is significant,
The entire Republican state ticket
was elected and the Diggs meas
ure buried. This places Maryland
to the front, and owing to the
fact that that state has tremend-
GUS Negro vote, places the colored
man on higher ground and makes
the Negro vote a factor in the
next national campaign. Massa-
chusetts and Kentucky were both
lost to the Democrats, but Foss OF
Boston was very popular and the
Republicans of the Bay state had
become little derelict.
Democrats, however, made sew
eral gains in municipal elections.
Republicans made gains in New
York.
1t had been hoped that the G.
o. P. would retain Kentucky, but
the entire Democratic state ticket
was elected. The Democrats also
have both branches of the legis-
lature, yet the Blue Grass state
may go Republican next year.

Tribute to Edward Fennell,
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
Through the medium of your jour-
nal l learned of the death of one of
my dear friends in Wayne county a
section in which l have taken much
interest for many years.
l have reference to the late Ed
ward Fennell, a man whom it was my
great privilege to know for almost a
quarter of a century. When death
comes to us and removes from our
circle those whom we love and cher
lsh we must submit to the imperial
mandate of the Creator of all, but
there is consolation in the fact
that the one departed had done his
part in the worlds activities and
strove to perform his duty, so we
may truthfully declare he left this
life with the world better than when
he began his earthly career.
AS one who esteemed it an honor
to be acquainted with Edward Fen
nell l can lay my humble tribute on
his neW-made grave and say that to
know him was to respect him, be-
cause of the geniality of his nature
and the unselfishness of his charac-
IeI. his Interest III lie was Stlulu-
lating to others and his energy and
ability were such that he was SUPER
ior in all the essentials of high
manhood and principle.
AS citizen he loved our free in
stitution and as a neighbor and
friend he guided his actions by that
gauge we dominate as golden, be-
cause he would not accord to others
any line of treatment which he was
not willing to have measured to
himself. Nothing more need be said
of our departed friend, nothing more
can be expressed in any language
There is no death! Although we grieve
When those loved familiar forms,
That We have learned to cherish
Are torn from our embracing arms;
Though ever near us yet unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless universe
Is life-There are no dead.

Row on at Lineville Over Carnival
Company.

We had hoped that the news of the
family row ON the question of per-
hitting the Miller Carnival Co. to
occupy our streets, which has been
going on during the past week might
have been kept secret, as all family
lows should be; but by some means
it has leaked out and Lineville is
now getting the benefit of much gos-
sip and criticism by outsiders with
the usual "frills" and exaggerations.
Ex- Mayor Wallace, who signed a con-
tract permitting the Carnival Com
pany to occupy the streets, resigned
the office at the meeting of the coun-
Gil on Wednesday evening of last
week, and his resignation was &C
cepted At meeting on Friday
evening, following, c. E. Swan was
appointed mayor by the council to
fill the vacancy. A petition to the
council was circulated by commit
tee of ladies representing the several
churches of Lineville and quite num-
erously signed asking the council to
prevent the Carnival Company from
occupying the STREETS, was not acted
upon by that body. The Carnival
Co. arrived on Sunday afternoon and
began putting up their tents on the
streets surrounding the public
square park, according to the terms
Of the contract. The company was
threatened with an injunction to re-
move them. Sheriff Glover and
County Attorney Bracewell were
summoned from Corydon and V. R.
McGinnis from Leon, and after a
long conference an agreement was
finally arrived at to the effect that
the Carnival Co. should be permitted
to remain and occupy the streets
until Wednesday night, the Company
agreeing to move out at that time.
The Tribune does not propose to
discuss the merits of the claims con-
tended for by either of the factions.
They appear about equally divided
and both were probably right from
their point of view; but it greatly de-
plores the situation and the effects of
such a controversy between people
who should be united in working for
the best interests of our town.
"Whom the gods would destroy, they
first make mad" is one of the truths
of mythology. Families, towns,
political parties and nations are
weakened and destroyed and left
naked to their enemies by internal
disturbances. Let us forget all the
bitterness and differences engen-
dered, as the vagaries of a night
mare, and get together again to
work in harmony for the moral and
welfare of our town.
Later-Since the above was put in
type we learn that the Carnival Conf
pany will remain throughout the
week. If arrangements cannot be
made to hold a portion of the streets
about the public square the tents will
be moved to private grounds. Big
crowds are expected daily during the
latter part of the week.-Lineville
Tibune.

Oklahoma Letter.
Watonga, OKLA, July IS, 1911.

Watonga, Okla, July IS, 1911.
Editor Reporter-In looking over
my paper l notice the date of the
tag shows that another year has
rolled around, which calls for a re-
newal of my subscription which find
enclosed. l see by some of the pa
pers that Oklahoma is on the verge
of starvation, but as our old friend,
DR.. Gardner, used to say, we have
managed to keep the wolf from the
door so far, but l must say that the
month of June was the hottest and
driest l have ever seen since we have
lived here. Wheat and oats were
pretty near a failure and the early
corn is burnt up, but Oklahoma has
turned over a new leaf with the
bright side up. Fine rains, plenty
of stock water, late corn, kaffir cane
and cotton never looked better
katfir cane is a never failing crop
and is good feed for all kinds of
stock, and produced from rs to so
bushels per acre. The price is about
the same as corn. Cotton is staple
article, and you can get cash for it
always. Some farmers here have as
high as 100 acres in cotton. AS we
are getting on the shady side of life,
for if l live until the Sth day of
August l will be 76 and my wife was
70 the 3rd of last April, and having
been a pillow boy for over 65 years,
we thought we would quit the farm,
so last fall we had public sale and
sold everything in the way of stock
and machinery. l had some fine
mares and colts, and some sucking
colts brought as high as $11O. May
be l wasn't a little bit famous the
next morning after the sale when l
went to the barn. Not a horse to
feed or a cow to milk. We, hadn't
been without horses and cows for
over fifty years. We rented the
farm and moved to Watonga and
bought nice home We keep a COW
and a few chickens. Some might
want to know why we left Iowa. We
did not sell our property in Leon, for
we wanted to see how we liked Okla
homa. | was overheated in the SER
vice and was subject to bad spells of
sick headache about once a month
1t will be nine years in September
since we came here and l have not
had the headache once since we came
here. We. have had no occasion to
call doctor since we have been
here, so don't blame us for staying
here. This is fine country to live
in and an easy place to make living.
We are going to have two fairs here
this fall, the county fair and the In
dian fair. All five tribes Of Indians
are to meet here September -, 13
and IA, and from 5000 to 5000
Indians are to be here, so if if you
want to see Indians come to Waton-
ga on that date. 1t is expected there
will be the largest crowd here at that
time Watonga ever saw. Well |
must ring off, my letter is getting too
long, but that is my fault, when l
get to writing I don't know when to
quit. So with best wishes to all my
old Iowa friends, / remain,
Yours truly,

Finger Torn Off by Dynamite Cap.

Dynamite caps are very dangerous
playthings for children as Forest, the
II year old son of Mr.. and Mrs. G..
w. Stallsworth of this city, found
out Monday afternoon when one of
them exploded in his hand, tearing off
one finger and badly decorating the
thumb and middle finger.

some dynamite and caps to the house,
and had taken the dynamite away
but left couple of caps which For
est got hold of and was playing with
them. How they exploded he does
not know
The index finger of the left hand
was torn off at the middle joint, the
remaining bone of the finger badly
cracked and slivered and the bone
back into the hand also badly frac-
tured. The finger was amputated at
the knuckle in the hand.
The thumb and middle finger We're
also badly torn and lacerated but no
bones broken. Drs. Duff and Nally
