NEWSPAPER DRAWS COLOR
LINE IN PRIZE CONTEST.
Race Ressnts Insult by Advising With
drawal of Its Patronage.

In one of the large cities of the coun-
try a certain newspaper opened vot-
ing contest for women. The prize for
the winner was announced as being Il
trip to Europe. One of the bright, In
telligent young colored women OF the
town entered the contest and had re-
ceived 800 votes when the manager OF
the contest found out her racial iden-
tity and informed the young lady that
she was not eligible, so 1t Is said.
This Is but another instance of the
unfair treatment which respectable.
honest and Industrious colored people
are daily receiving at the hands OF the
so called best white people. From such
injustice and hypocrisy may God de-
liver us.
When the action of the contest man
ager became known one of the promi-
nent colored citizens of the town imme-
diately advised every member OF his
race who had been reading the paper
which drew the color line to read 1t no
more. This was a manly stand to take.
and it is hoped that his advice will be
strictly adhered to.
Nothing Is SO mean and base as the
act of one person or persons to with
hold from others that which is legally
and civilly due them simply because OF
their color. When one looks at the
present status of things, however, from
a moral standpoint and from the stand
point Of honesty it would seem that
the colored people should rather re-
joice in the fact that they are not OF
the class here spoken OF.
As Dr. Booker L. Washington well
says. we belong to young race. a
race which has opposition and preju-
dice to fight, race whose future Is be-
fore and not behind it. II others would
be mean and low and cowardly. let us
be good and kind. honest and brave.

have a man confess to the commission
of crime and sign criminal court
contract whereby he undertakes to
work out the fine for the person who
pays it. This person is called the con-
fessor At the July term Of the United
States district court for the southern
district of Alabama twenty-one indict-
ments were returned against twenty
six defendants for holding nine differ
ent persons as poems and slaves. These
indictments are still pending
In one case man was convicted of
petty larceny in the state court, fined
SIS and costs. judgment and all
amounting to $43.75. One John Doe, a
stranger. came into court under the
state laws and confessed judgment for
the defendant and paid the fine and
costs. Thereupon the defendant en-
tered into what is called criminal
contract to work out this amount at SO
month. The defendant ran away
after working over a month. He was
rearrested on an affidavit by John Doe.
fined one cent and S97.O5 costs.
Then another stranger. Richard Roe.
confessed judgment; another contract
is entered into by which the defendant
in the state court agrees to work four
teen months and fifteen days at the
rate of Sc a month. A little later the
defendant ran away again. was rear
rested and this time fined $500 and
S112SO costs. making S412.SO. and SEN
fenced to hard labor for more than a
year.
Steamboat Case on Alabama River.
There was another case Of old fash
ioned slavery where man was work
ing on a steamboat plying up and
down the Alabama river. Three per-
sons took him off the boat. carried him
to their plantation and forced him to
go to work. This man refused to work.
was cruelty beaten and whipped and
when he was unable to work was told
to go. He was afterward arrested on
a charge made by the kidnapers of car
rying concealed weapons and fined
S53.S5 costs, judgment confessed upon
him. and he was taken away into slav-
cry again to work it out at $40 a
month.
White men. as well as colored men,
have been held in peonage. Indeed,
one of the poems named in one of the
indictments above referred to Is
white man. The Harlan and Gallagher
cases decided at the December term
of the supreme court. 1910. were cases
in which white men were held as
poems in the lumber camps of Florida
under "a most atrocious system of en-
forced labor
While these state laws making peon-
age possible are made with special
reference to compelling the labor OF
the Negro. they occasionally catch
white men as well. particularly immi-
grants working under contract. as In
the Harlan case. all OF which goes to
show that the liberty OF no man Is
safe as long as the humblest black man
may be held as a peon or slave.

to perfect themselves in those branch

about and also brings them in direct

KEEP THE COUNTY DRY.

Why? First, the dry regime has
had a wholesome influence upon our
| finances
When the county went dry three
years ago, IL was S44 900. 90 in debt.
The three years Of no saloons has wip-
ed out that Indebtedness. Let us not
! forget that the debt came upon the
county while we were taking the
license from the saloon.
The resort business has not suffered,
as was predicted it wuu d, but on the
contrary has very materially improv-
ed. Last year was the best resort
year In the history OF the county
| The majority Of the resrrters are IN
hearty sympathy with Local Option
and would deplore retprn Of the open
saloon,
Private business has prospered by
| the removal Of the saloon. A large
number Of business men have given
| written statements to the effect that
their business has improved Collec-
lions are better and less number OF
people are asking for credit than was
true 'in the days of the open saioon.
Second. the dry regime has had a
wholesome influence on criminal con-
ditioDs in our county.
In he last two years Of the wet
| regime there were thirtY-tive criminal
cases. other than violations of the
liquor law In our CIRCUIT court.
Thirteen men were sent TO the De-
trOit House OF Correction and Oine to
the Penitentiary at Jackson. During
the last Two years. Which has been
dry, only fourteen crimiual cases were
trpught into circuit court, other than
the violations of the liquor law. Six
men were sent 10 the Detroit House
Of Correction as compared with the
thirteen sept during the correspond
ing period Of the wet regime and only
tine mat was ~ I to the PeBitentiary,
as compared with the nine men IN tie
corresponding period Of the wet re-
glme.
1hird. the dry regime has had a
wholesome influence upon the drink
ing habit of the people of CharIevoix
County.
Express and freight Offices show
that The cODsumpLi0p OF liquor in
this County IS but q mere fraction Of
what 1t was during the wet regime.
The county jail where drunks have 50
frequently lodged, has been shy Of
bOarders during this period. For two
months there was not one case of this
kind, In the days Of the open saloon,
drunken people upon the streets Of
our cities was common sight every
day in the year. II is onlv occas ,onal
that these characters appear upon our
public highways.
These are the plain facts which
voters do well TO consider

WITHDRAWs NOMINATIONS
TO NORTH CAROLINA JOBS
Political Differences in State Said
to Have Prompted Action
BY President.

President Taft today withdrew from
the Senate the nominations of two col
lectors of customs and eight post
masters, all in North Carolina. Political
conditions in that state, it was in
timated, prompted the action.
No explanation was vouchsafed at
the White House, but it was under
stood that the failure Of former Rep
resentative Morehead Of North, Caro-
lima and Republican National Commit
teeman Duncan Of that state to agree
on the nominees prompted the Presi-
dent to withdraw all the names until
some basis of settlement could be
reached
The nominations withdrawn are John

CLAIMS WILSON FORCES
WILL CONTROL OKLAHOMA
Speaker Clark's Friends, However,
Assert Senator Gore Is
Mistaken.

Optimism at Gov. Wilson's headquarters
here was enhanced today by the receipt
of a telegram from Senator Gore Of Okla
homa, claiming that the Wilson forces
will control the democratic state con-
vention that meets next Thursday to
choose delegates to the democratic ma
tional convention. The telegram says:
Gov. Wilson's majority is from twenty
five to forty. We lost Canadian and
PAYNE counties by one vote each, Creek
and Mcintosh counties by three votes
each and Marshall by two votes. We
carried Oklahoma county by three votes"
Speaker Clarks friends and supporters
in Washington are not at all worried as
a result Of this announcement from the
Wilson headquarters. They simply say
that Senator Gore is mistaken in his
facts. For instance. the Clark people
claim Oklahoma county, which the SEN
ator says went for Wilson.
lone delegate In the convention is
worth ten in a telegram said Wallace
Bassford, Speaker Clark's private secre-
tary, this afternoon. From all reports re-
ceived here the Clark managers believe
that Oklahoma will declare for the Mis-
sourian by a good-size majority.
