declaration that although the tribes
affected were opposed to The separate

ure over the Carter bill because it

there are no minerals.
The Owen measure provides thai
there shall be three appraisers ap,
pointed by the secretary OF interior

ter the completion of the appraisal

arate appraisal, the Owen bill proyid-
es, and the secretary Of the interior

Wholesale Slaughter.

The fact that seven men were cleo
trocuted in Sing Sing on Monday is
enough to make thoughtful persons
pause and ponder. When it is further
understood that five of them went to
their death protesting their innocence
it leads one to believe it more than
probably that at least some of that
number were unjustly put to DEATH
If only one out of seven of those who
suffer capital punishment is not guilty
of a capital crime 1t constitutes Sc
we're arraignment of that method of
punishment.
Most of the subjects of that days
proceedings were ignorant negroes, or
even more ignorant Italians, who had
probably understood only small part
of the evidence given against them
and who might easily have been the
victim of false testimony.
In large proportion of cases in
which the death penalty is judicially
decreed the evidence is wholly circum-
stantial In other cases there is di-
rect evidence which is the result of
honest mistakes. some of which are
discovered too late. In not few in

political leader of his race, "that We
are not waited, not because we are
not good citizens, not because we are
Progressives, but because we are re
groes. This we are told at time
that Northern states are sending ne
gro delegates To this convention
The Southern negro is rejected both
because he is a negro and because he
is from the South. The reason is that
the negro vote in the South has no
value to any party, while in the
northern states it often holds CON
trolling position, potentially, IL not
actually. 1t means. too. that the negro
is of no interest whatever to Mr..
Roosevelt or anybody else except in
sofar as he has political value. 1t is
well for the negro to learn this, but
will he? He himself has made the
negro vote a matter of culor because
he has been voting the Republican
ticket because he was negro. The
Democrats have kept him from the
polls not because of his race but be-
cause of his ignorance and his slavish
subservience to the Republican party.
The race has bee: degraded by slav-
cry. In the first instance the wrong
was perpetrated by white men, .lav-
ers and save-buyers. In the second
place the negro cnslaves himself. 1t
was Il political condition for which he
was and still is responsible. He cred
its Lincoln with freeing him from
physica bondage. He must free him
self from political shackles. These
words are not written to invite his
vote. The Democratic party does not
need it. but it is important for in
teligent colored men to whom the
ballot remains to use it as citizens of
the Republic. and not as slaves of
party. Will they do Charlottes-
