When the legislature enacted a
law requiring counties to care for
tuberculosis patients 1t did good
thing. Boards of supervisors are
authorized to either build hospital
or to pay for the care Of residents
of the county in some established
hospital, and are permitted to ap-
propriate for each patient the sum
of SIS per week. This law will aid
materially in stamping out this ter
rible malady. From various counties
come the report that some boards
are already making investigations
of tubercular cases, to the end that
what steps may be best may be TAX
en- without unnecessary delay.

One of the eastern financial pa
pers suggests that the United States
should buy the northern part OF
Mexico. That would be all right If
the Mexican government would de-
populate the district before giving a
warranty deed. But the United
States does not want any country
that is populated with Greasers.
They are worse than Digger Indians
and harder to civilize than Mis-
souri, mule. Uncle Sam already has
enough of such truck on his hands.
If he could get rid of the Philip
pines without dishonor he would
like to do It,.

posed of Rasmus jacobson, Mar
tin Olson and VIM. Munyon, had
agreed to pay for same and set
ting up the balance due on the
machine as a counter claim a.
gainst Olson's suit for a thresh-

The case was tried in June

lock ruled that the contract was
within the statute of frauds and
must be in writing and ordered
a verdict in favor of Olson. On
a subsequent rehearing Judge

There was a river-driver beyond
the Northwest Carry who respected
neither moose nor man. Because
he was the best river-driver on the
West Branch, they let him alone I'M
til he struck an Indian with pick
pole.
The mdiana's head was damaged
and while he waited for it to heal he
selected his revenge. He hunted up
the moose-warden and told many
lies. Deity concealed among these
lies, however, was truth that in
furiated the warden.
The river-driver, whose name was
Skeene, sneered when the moose
warden glided into camp. But when
he. dug out head and antlers behind
a shanty, Skeene picked up his rife,
looked obliquely at the moose-war-
den, tied his blanket and fry-pan,
hoisted his canoe onto his head and
walked away to the southwark, still
sneering.
don't know what they said about
it in Foxcroft, but Hale, who owned
the timber and who thought he own
ed Skeene, hunted him up and sent
him to work. on the new cutoff,
hoping the affair might blow over in
time for -Skeene. to drive logs again.
But Skeene turned lazy and lined the
dead water with traps and SETTINGS,
and when Hale demonstrated Skeene
laughed. ri
Then Hale threatened him and
limited about moose-wardens and
$500 fines, but Skeene thrashed
Hale before the whole camp, packed
his kit and canoe and padded serene
lyaway down the West Branch.
That really began the trouble, for
Hale never forgave him. When
Skeene started to guide for Hender-
son on the upper Portage, Hale heard
of it and ran him out.
Possibly, if they had let him alone,

ty-three-but Hale remembered, and
the Indian remembered, and one day
man came in to the Garry Camp
with A bullet in his wrist and an
unserved warrant in his pocket The
man was a moose-warden, and the
warrant was for Skeene.
When the news spread that Skeene
had shot warden, the guides from
Portage and Lily-Bay condemned
him. Down at Greenville sheriff
and posse boarded the ''Katahdin"
and spent several weeks cruising
about at public expense. Possibly
they expected Skeene to come down
to the shore and sit on the rocks; per-
haps they fancied he might paddle
across their bows in his sleep. Natur-
ally he did neither
Even after that, if they had given
him chance, he might have surren-
dered and taken his punishment.
A warden saw him building lean
to on the island that divides the West
Branch. The warden waited until
dark, crawled in outside the fire and
caught Skeene asleep. What Skeene
did to the warden when he awoke
the official cannot remember dis
tinctly.
Three weeks after that Skeene
walked into Kineo store, handling his
rifle in most alarming fashion. He
suggested that they place certain
provisions and ammunition in his
canoe, which lay on the beach below.
The three clerks complied. Twenty
minutes later Skeene, in his canoe,
was seen making for Moose River.
They notified the sheriff again.
People fought shy of Moose River
and the lake beyond which is called
Red Lake. In vain the guides declar-
ed the region safe. Skeene let them

THANKS CITY COUNCIL.

the COlOred Citizens OF Sumter Re-
garding Working of Women on
Street Gang.
Dear Mr.. Editor:

Dear Mr.. Editor:
AS chairman Of the cOlOred dele.
cation selected to present a petition
and grievance to His Honor the May
or and City Commissioners, we wish
through your columns to express our
thanks to the City Council for the
courtesy Of patient hearing and for
liberating colored women from the
street gang. They and all Of their
class were ordered to leave town.
The colored constituency here nu-
merically represents about sixty per
cent Of the population. 1t is natural
that there are found some vicious,
disreputable and vagrant persons
among us. All towns and cities suf-
fer with them in a greater or less de-
gree. We have no apology to offer
for them. Fifty years Of freedom
should work out our emancipation not
only from physical bondage, but NOR
al and mental bondage as well. The
morals of any people or race, be they
black or white, are their greatest as
set. This is the citadel of the mu-
nicipal life which every student of
political economy must recognize. The
efftcieHcy Of it's citizens is the goal.
in this pursuit the color of the skin
or the texture Of the hair have no
play whatever. The Anglo Saxon
race rules because, as q class, they
have proven this claim to rule and
they stand for the "cOnquering and to
conquer" Our government is safe
In their hands. We congratulate
ourselves that Wa have good govern
ment and that we are a part of this
government.
These disorderly women should be
dealt with. They wreck government
ruin homes and degrade society. We
are sorry for them. God pity and
save them! But this is a problem cf
government. We plead for patience
and for better method. We submit
that to work them on the streets is
demoralizing to our civilization and
