FOR CONGRATULATIONS.
STEPHEN H. CUMMINS.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.
A Man Who Has Helped Many Repub-
licans to Success Now Seeks Nomina-
ton for Congressman
Successful Lawyer and Noted
Speaker.
Stephen H. Cummins, candidate for
Congressman-at-Large, is Illinois lat
est offering, and those who know Mr..
Cummins are certain of his qualifca-
tons.
Mr.. Cummins was a candidate two
years ago, but was defeated by mar
row margin, his total of votes surpris-
ing the cold line politicians.
His ability as a campaign orator has
helped the Republican party to success
in many campaigns and was one of
the staunch supporters of Senator
Sherman.
When the clouds began to gather he
did not desert the Republican party,
but stood firm and voted for President
Taft. On account of his loyalty to
the party he deserves the support of
every true republican.
Mr.. Cummins has attracted the at
tention of the country as an author in
The broad ax., 1916-09-09

Perhaps no early newspapers con-
tended with the difficulties that faced
the early race publications at the be-
ginning of the nineteenth century.
There was one principle and platform
of course, upon which every race jour
nal down to 1864 perforce must stand
abolition; but the early publications
besides having to fight for a cause
that had but few advocates, could see
in the popular mind no indications of
support. There is no wonder then,
that all of them were established
from private capital, in some cases,
the savings of years, and with the ex-
ception of the Colored American, 1887,
and the paper of Frederick Douglass
the North Star-lived little longer
than year at most.
Often the editor was a freedman
and a minister of the gospel, and by
education and training fitted for this
work. Even so there was a frequent
complaint that the editorial appeal for
freedom was brilliant, but that the ex-
preston was "vile."
The entrance of Frederick Douglass
into journalism introduced at once
more thoughtful opinions, and bet
ter use of grammar.
Nor were these journals for the ex-
preston of views of Colored folk a
whit too soon in coming to the front.
Even so far North as New York, and
as late as 1S47, reputable newspapers
of the Whites paid no attention to
sentiment among their darker brethren.
When the question of eliminating the
word "color" and having every man
east his ballot on equal terms came be-
for the people of New York, The Sun
urged its readers to vote emo"
When reputable Colored men sought
for space to express their side they
were told: "The Sun shines for all
White men and not for Colored men,"
Since that time many SUNS and
STARS have thrown their illuminat-
ing rays on news pertaining only to
the Whites, but the rapid growth of
education among the freedmen, and
the increased interest of Colored and
White abolitionists soon established a
Negro Press that could be depended
upon to stand square on all matters
of vital interest to black men.
Here is an editorial from the Col
ored American, the second Colored
paper to be published in America:

necessity for competent teachers.
Let those who disagree with him in
this position step forward and make
their declaration. l am sure that I
am not one, indeed l am here and
now prepared to declare that there
is not an institution that l will not
sink in the deepest part of the ocean
for the public school, for know that
a democratic form of government is
impossible without it, but this is not
the question, and Mr.. BigelOw must
know it.
The rev. gentleman finds fault with
the teachers because they want a
permanent job and higher salaries.
Great Heavens, what a crime when
every preacher and priest that
know of are looking for the same
things. Does it call for the con-
demnatiOn of teachers when they
seek the economic advantages rev.
eTend gentlemen are daily on the
watch for? Mr. Bigelow knows that
this is not the issue, because he sub
mits that the trouble is due Ito the
baneful psychological effect Of the
Teachers Federation upon its mem
bers." Here we have it; the cat is
out of the bag. Reader, haven't you
heard this before? Doesn't it sound
rather hackneyed? Hasn't ever pi-
rate employer and his apologists and
satellites being shouting it in your
ears when any form of labor organ
iZatiOn was involved.
If the officers Of the Guardians of
Liberty are opposed to incompetent
teachers, they will do a public service /
if they insist on an immediate trial
and, if found guilty, instant dismiss
sal; or if there are any teachers in !
the public schools of Chicago who |
are working in the interest of any
creed they should receive the same |
treatment; but this is not in issue, |
for Mr. Bigelow and his associates |
are lined up with many Catholic |
priests and all of big Business" In

Mr.. Bigelow reminds US that he be-
ieYes in the absolute freedom Of
the press" and then says I'VE deem
it wrong for a great public news
paper to arouse these passions by
any kind of false or unfair logic" AS
well might he have said want a
free press if it agrees with me.
But listen to this gem of Chris
tianity from a preacher who presUm-
ably believes in the bible: is any
one at any time justified in exciting
public sentiment against the legally
constituted authority" What would
have become of that splendid old
rebel, John the Baptist, if he had fall
len into the hands of a BigelOw Of
that day, before he fell into the other
fellows hands? And how it sounds
to hear that scream of tyranny COM
ing from a man standing guard over
Amencanism and the independence
OfOur public schools!
Shades of Patrick Henry, Samuel
Adams and James Otis, who thun-
dered against the despOtism Of
George the Third; shades of Wash
ingtOn, Greene, Putnam and all the
rest who fought against that despo-
tism; behold who is standing guard
over the sacred relic of liberty that
thou hast left US as our inheritance

Marshal could have the active 90.
operation of every property own
er and the courts, in order to
bring the firebugs to justice.
AS to the rates for fire insnr-
ance as fixed under our new rat
ing law, the law does not fix any
arbitrary rate. Any one COM
pany, or set of companies, may
file variations from from the pub
llshed rate estimates, but the law
does provide that all risks of a
similar character and exposure
shall be rated alike, and that is
absolutely right. The main thing
that directly concerns the fire tax
payers is the reduction Of the
fire waste, and abolishlng as far
as possible the terminal ash
heap" The fire tax can be re-
duced accordingly and very read

ton it is generally believed that
their mission may be connected
with the possible naturalization
of the long proposed branch line
up Beaver Creek into Montana.
1t is known that this work in
cludes new and extensive sid
ings to the Marmarth stock yards,
which undoubtley will result in
a Y being constructed around the
entire yards providing three un-
loading tracks itstead of one only
as is provided at present.
However, it has leaked out
that a survey will probably be
made up the Beaver as far as B.
+. Syry's ranch. some three humid
red acres of which is known as the
best gravel bed in tha country.
Milwaukee experts have been
over this land numerous times
and have sunk many test holes
for the purpose Of getting an es-
innate on the quantity of gravel
that could be had from this bed,

the Beaver as far as this gravel
bed at least.
Should such a spur track be
constructed it would undoubted-
y branch out from the main
track at some point west of Mike
Burke's crossing, where it woulu
run directly to the gravel bees
From there it would not be a diff
ticult engineering problem to ex-
tend the line up the Beaver Creek
into Montana, tapping the rich
Ekalaka country.

New Land Bill Up.

Allowing leave Of absence to
settlers on u%nsurveyed land the
same as permitted those on sur,
veyed land, the House passed H.
r. 9691.
This bill provides that settlers
on unsurveyed lands may get
permission from the local land
office to leave the land for not
more than five months a year.
In making application, however,
the approximate location of the
land must be given together with
a statement that the exterior
boundary is designated in some
manner.
Congressman Evans and Stout
have worked hard for the pass
age of this bill and the result of
their efforts will be considerable
satisfaction to the homesteaders
who have stayed on their land
during the winter months, not
venturing to leave in fear that
someone would jump their claim
in the spring.
