band and Children, Brave
Woman Soon to Get Land.

Mrs. Anna Turner, the plucky wild
ow of A. B. Turner, expects to prove
up ON her homestead, eighteen miles
from Num-, this fall Since last
spring, when her husband died, Mrs.
Turner has been living in Greeley
earning a livelihood for her family of
children by washing and rough work.
She was sent release by the land
Office in Denver from spending the few
remaining months of the five years on
the claim.
MIR. Turner was an invalid for FIVE
years with tuberculosis, and his wife
managed the farm and went away to
work when there was not money
enough for the needs of the family.
Since coming to Greeley, Mrs. Turn
er has asked no help, except an Oppor-
tunity to work and is busy every half
day of the week. Her children are in
school and she has comfortable quar-
ters on North Seventh avenue. Mrs.
Turner went to her homestead Friday,
and will return today. Greeley, Ok
la, Tribune.
The above was handed US for publ
cution by friend of Mrs. Turner, and
shows how a worthy woman has strug-
gled and is struggling to make both
ends meet, and win her claim. Help
her if you can.

Don't Rob the Children.

Editors News:
would like to contribute a few
thoughts to your valued paper, and if,
after reading it you find anything
worth printing. please do SO. l want
to speak of some Of the things in our
state and county in regard to our pub
lie schools. AS everyone knows on
last Friday week all of the public
schools of the county were closed and
all the teachers drew pay according to
terms in their contract. l claim that
this is wrong. look at it this way:
If ! hire to you to do days
work and If I fail to work / don't
receive pay for it. As look at it our
county official, or state officials, as to
that, have no right to take our child
ren's money and give it to the grown
ups.
Thinking men, please think. You
are accountable for the public money,
put in your hands for proper distl ibu-
tion of public money. Somebody is
responsible for this condition. / I'M
derstand the Teachers receive pay for
attending the teachers meeting, and
are to do so next Tuesday for going to
the biennial school rally. Such as that
will bankrupt any county or state. |
am willing for any or ali of those pub
lie officials to be liberal with their
own money but not with money that
is for the education of the poor child
reR of this country. 1t is shame on
any intelligent people to take money
from the children and spend it so as to
benefit the railroad and public gather
ings, such as fairs and shows, more
than the children.
/ hope these few lines will clip the
people to wake up and act with judge
ment. understand the law accords
equal rights to all, and special priv
leges to none. AS ever,
A FRIEND TO THE YOUNG.

MORE HIGH SCHOOLS.

The next man who goes to the legis
lature from this county will be asked
to make some arrangement whereby
high schools can be established at
South Pittsburg and Whitwell, and
the grade raised in the public schools
all over the county until they exceed
the present status of the eighth grade
to cover the secondary grade. This
change is imperative for the advance
ment of the children of the county in
e1rration. At South Pittsburg and
WhitN.li there are numbers of child
rem who financially are unable to at
tend the County High School at Jas
per, and no matter how bright they
might be as children. their parents
can not earn enough to send via the
train or board them away from home
or keep them in necessary increased
cost of clothing when away from home
Hence these children will not receive
the advantages of high school or ad-
vanced instruction. Therefore there
is demand for the establishment of
an advanced or high school at both of
these places, and the representative
who acts for this county, be he demo-
crat or republican, will be asked to
push forward this measure. Further
more, any can lidate who will not
support this measure should be de-
feated, and very probably will be,
for the matter is Of universal interest
In raising the grade of the other
schools, a>si lance will be accorded
the other children of the county who
may not be able to attend the present
high school, or the ones proposed to be
established

FAIRNESS TOWARD NEGROES.
Taft's Attorney General Stands For the
"Suuare Deal"


Attorney General Wickersham re-
fleets the broad American spirit Of
himself and his chief, President Taft
In his splendid fight against the
dropping from membership in the
American Bar association of his able
colored assistant, William FL. Lewis.
It is needless to say that every sup
porter of Woodrow Wilson and every
sympathizer with Theodore Roosevelt
in his refusal to recognize the citizen
lship of the southern negro. Is opposed
to Mr.. Wickersham In his battle for
equal rights and fair treatment for
colored Americans.
The action Of the executive commit
tee of the Bar association in revok-
ing the election Of three colored men,
bers. gentlemen Of spotless profession
al standing and excellent personal
character. by their local committees,
was outrageously. cruelty unjust and
ought to be repudiated by every
reputable lawyer in the United States.
1t was a concession to that southern
Democratic prejudice which seeks to
crush the spirit of manly aspiration
in the negro's breast and to tolerate
him only as laborer on the planta-
tons and for the households where his
ancestors were slaves. 1t amounts to
In attempt to nullify the constitution
pr the United States. as amended after
he rebellion, by men whose sacred
litigation and welcome duty it should
to support that instrument in their
cry act as lawyers and as citizens.
their resolute backing of Assist
ut Attorney General Lewis against
the assaults of rank Bourbonism and
racial prejudice, President Taft and
his attorney general have the god
speed of every American who believes
in the principles for which Lincoln
died. and who is determined that the
sacrifices which the nation offered up
on the altar of freedom and equal
rights for all shall not have been made
in vain.

Workers Will Recognize His Dtstortlen
of Figures and Facts and Will Not
Be 5eguiled by It-Shows How Hard
Pushed the Democrats Are For an
Argument.
1t Is TO he hoped that every Ameri-
can worker In the various industries
protected by the tariff will read the
address of Mr.. Underwood, Democrat
&c leader in the house of representa-
tves, in which he sets forth as taxa
ton the tariff duties on articles In
ordinary use. There is nothing novel
in the Underwood distortion of tariff
as free trade, as threadbare as the
American workingman would soon be
II he should allow himself TO be beguil-
ed by Underwood and other votaries
OF the late Confederate constitution
into the surrender of Republican pro
lection.
1t Is true. as Underwood says, that
the tariff taxes he describes are i'm
posed on articles such as he describes
-woolen clothing, shoes. the tin pail,
window pane, carpet, ETC., but he is
wholly and deliberately wrong and
misleading when he says that the du-
ties in question are imposed on or ad
ded to the cost of these articles, az
used in the ordinary American family.
The tariff tax is imposed on goods
manufactured abroad and imported for
sale in competition with goods made in
America by American workers earning
American wages.
The man or woman who Is satisfied
with the product of American labor
and nine-tenths Of the American people
are so satisfied-has no tariff tax to
pay. and this is shown by the fact that
the American article, with it's manu-
facture fostered by protection. is often
cheaper III price than the imported
would be without paying tariff duties.
The tariff duties prevent excessive
imports. which would flood the mar
ket. us imported goods flooded the
market under the tariff reductions
made by the Democratic Wilson bill Of
1894. reducing not only the tariff. but
reducing also the demand for American
goods and for American labor to make
American goods.
Mr.. Underwood's statement is cheap
claptrap. We had supposed that style
Of talk too moldy and cobwebbed for
further exercise, and the fact that it is
again dragged out Of the discard proves
how hard pushed the free trade Democ-
racy is for something to bolster Its
cause.
