All Modelled on the Plan Adopted
By the Northern Counties
Ten Years Ago.
A DECREASE IN POPULATION
Many Farmers Have Left for the
Plains of the Northwest Dur
ing Past Ten Months.

St. Paul, April S.-(Special to the
Pioneer) Another effort to stop
the rush of Americans to the Cana
dian northwest was taken at Manka-
to last week when the Southern Min
nesota Better Development associa-
ton was formed by the representa-
tives of thirty-one counties in south
ern Minnesota. This is the third as
Commercial clubs and Farmers clubs
which has been projected in this
state.
A few weeks ago a similar organi-
cation was formed of the counties in
the west and central portions of Min
nesota For the last two years an
organization has been in existence
in northern Minnesota which has a
full fledged immigration bureau of
it's own in the Twin City.
All these organizations have been
formed with the specific purpose of
changing the stream of migration
from American farms to the Cana
dian northwest. Last year 100000
American farmers took their fami-
lies, their machinery and their pure
blood stock and left the fertile farms
of the central west for the entranc-
ing far away land of Canada of
which they had heard many glitter
ing tales.
Counties See Decrease.
Many of the counties in southern
Minnesota during the last ten years
have seen an actual decrease in
their population amounting in some
instances on the average to 200 peo-
pie a year. The business men as
we'll as the farmers of these parts
are working so that in addition to
better farming and the keeping of
more live stock they may increase
the number Of highways of the state
that life on the farm will be as at
tractive as possible.
Minnesota is not alone in this ef-
fort to stay the rush of American
farmers to live under foreign flag.
In North Dakota there have been
formed four organizations composed
of the business men and the CONNER
cial club members of different dis
tricts of the state. 1t has been said
that the government of Canada
spends S5,O00,OOO year to induce
settlers. Business men of the north
west realize that organization must
meet organization, and that the ad-
vantages of life on American farms
must be shown to combat the plan
of the paid agents Of the Dominion
who work in practically every por-
tion of the central west.

Mr.. Roosevelt and the Colored Vote.

Stiffness and insincerity mark Mr..
Roosevelt's deliverance on the negro ques-
ton. For his own ends he favors lily
white party in the south and black and
tan party in the north. Where the colored
vote is cast and counted he wants a
"whack" at it, and coddles the colored
man with fine words. Where the colored
vote is outlawed, he subscribes to the
policy and indorses the notification of the
Constitution as respects that matter. He
applauds the work of Thaddeus Stevens
forty-odd years ago. and that of James X.
Nardaman today. In other words, Mr..
Roosevelt is juggling with the negro ques-
ton as he is with all other questions.
He is out for votes, and bidding for them
in any way In any quarter that to him
seems best for his purposes.
Both of the old parties have played
false to the negro so far as the suffrage
is concerned. But the discovery is not
Mr.. Roosevelt's. 1t has long been the
subject of comment. After accepting him
as a citizen and a voter. and promising
him protection in his new estate, the
democratic party Of the south barred the
colored man from the ballot box: and
although promising repeatedly to redress
the wrong by invoking the Constitution
and forcing a liberalization of state cleo
ton laws and making representation in
Congress conform to the Constitution,
the republican party has done nothing.
Both parties have played tricks with the
colored man for party advantage, and
both have profited by their tricks.
But will southern democrats rally to
the man who declares that lily whitism is
but temporary? Mr.. Roosevelt says that
In this country we cannot permanently
succeed except upon the basis of treating
each man on his work as man." The
southern democrats. on the other hand,
having deprived the colored man of all
part in government, city. state and ma
tional, purpose, If possible, to make the
dsbarment permanent.
And will the colored voters of the north
rally to the man who is playing. though
temporarily. the game of those who.
franker than he. are going straight after
what they want and what the colored
voters do not want? And have colored
men anywhere forgotten the Brownsville
episode, which, at the time, brought every
one of Them and many white men be-
sides, to their feet with protests against
Mr.. Roosevelt's high-handed and unjust
course toward the colored troopers?
There is already lily white party; and
Mr.. Wilson heads it. True, while outlaw
ing the colored vote in the south, it plays
for the colored vote in the north. The
Wilson mana gers, as did the Cleveland
managers and the Bryan managers, will
appeal to it, and secure a portio2 of it.
But is il possible for Mr.. Roosevelt. with
his past record and his present program,
to outbid Mr.. Wilson and his friends in
such an appeal? Will he not fall as he
should, between two stools?

Mr. Bryan nominated Mr.. Wilson at Bal

Now in both the Garfield cabinet and

sons nation? In his minds eye, does he
see the fur flying from the Wilson as well
as from the Bryan back?
III there is good reason for a laugh, Mr..
Watterson of all democrats. will be best
entitled to indulge himself. He has

and Mr.. Bryan, in terms pointedly and

Build Two Warships.
rom the New York Times.

Are the members of the democratic
majority in the House of Representatives
willing to present an issue to the third
party? The leader of that as yet nebu
lous body seems to hope so. He has been
quick to make the up-building OF the navy
one of his policies" while many of the
democratic representatives are still hold
ing out against the building OF even one
battleship this year. This is not party
question. The need of keeping up our
navy is recognized by men Of both the
great parties throughout the country.
They are sending letters and dispatches
to their representatives in Washington
urging them to vote for two battleships.
Two modern battleships should be laid
down this year. compromise on one
will not satisfy the country. The demo-
Gratis are likely to lose many votes IL
they insist on Juggling the navy into
politics.

Gun Toters.
: New York Evening Telegram.

From the New York Evening Telegram.
The law is a peculiar thing. Enacted to
act impartially 1t sometimes does injus-
tice The avoidance of injustice can only
be effected by the courts. This has been
shown in no instance so much as in the
enforcement of the Sullivan law, directed
against the carrying of concealed
weapons Well meant enough, the
statute was designed to disarm the train
ed bands of thugs who were running loose
over the city. In this it signally failed.
Members of the lawless element did not
discard their weapons. as is proven by the
record of gun plays" daily. Law abiding
citizens who obey the mandate and do not
carry arms are absolutely at the mercy Of
the lawbreakers.
