come an enfranched tool with which
to jimmy the domicile of white Amer
icanism- The bucks and the wenches
as voters are frightful monster I'M
loosed by those who have not the
slightest inkling of the gravity of
their doing. Since the November cleo
ton these black things, but few gen
erationp from cannibalism, are feeling
their importance and race wars are
imminent. Negro newspapers, finan-
ced by Republicans are carrying editor
ials and news stories asking for full
social and educational relationships
with the whites. Benighted, burr
headed Walthal Moore was sent by
st. Louis Republicans to the House of
Representatives. When he was sworn
in Lieutenant Governor Lloyd rushed
to him, clasped his ash-gray pal, ia
miliarly ,patted him on the back, and
was the first to officially congratu-
late. To those who do not know the ne
gro's nature this may seem to have
been perfectly proper, but those who
know the point to which white can
condescendl in dealing with blacks,
this act was dangerous blunder. The
negro must be kept in his place. The
slightest touch of familiarity and the
apish, stavistic, ferocious instinct of
domination is implanted in his unrea-
'soning mind. This week Walthal
arose for recognition, with honeyed
tone Speaker 0'Fallon inquired
"What does the gentleman from St.
Louis" Mr.. Moore desire?" And the
Gentleman from st. Louis desired to
introduce bill to the end that the
African Lincoln Institute be appropri-
ated one-million dollars SO that it
might take rank with the State Uni
versity. OF course theRepublicans are
not going to make such appropriation
and a measure will be introduced call
ing for the privilege of the blacks to
attend the State University. All the
contemplated chicanery of a crooked
Republican legislature amounts to
nothing when compared with the cost
of counting the negro. The first can
only demand dollars. the latter will
cost lives, It is not the purpose of
the writer to stir up racial hatred,
nor to breed race wars, but to pre-
vent them, by acquainting the public
with their cause. This is white
mans country. As aptly said by a
Democratic member of the House:

foot he rules or finds his grave"

GARDNER AND HIS
TORY OF MISSOURI

For the first time in half century
Missouri is in Republican hands. The
Governors office and big majority
in the General Assembly are in the
hands of the mysterious stranger"
and for at least two years the affairs
of the state are to be administered by
the Republicans. Strange enough,
too, that the Republicans should have
taken over Missouri's affairs at this
time, for Governor A. M. Hyde sue
ceeds in the Executive chair the man,
whose name will throughout the ages

great force of workers for Nilsson
ri. The Governor set the example for
hard work and every man was given
to understand that he was not a
boarder at political pie counter, but
was to render 100 per cent efficient
service to the people or go. While to
those sour on government in general
it may sound unbelievable, state
agents to save time and cover more
territory frequently walked between
towns where not many miles apart
and often spent the greater part of
Sunday handling the clerical part of
their work, making reports and COM
piling records.
Missouri has been a great business
the last four years and Gardner has
written a record characterized with
the spirit, mind and physical of its
executive. 1t has been period o,
heart in dealing with those things
where the best side of man needs to
be called in play, a high mentality in
intelilgently administering and an I'M
firing energy in rendering efficient
service.
Governor Gardner has retired to
private life, but by no means does he
take place with the forgotten.
In dismissing the Democrats from
power in Missouri, the voters let the
state go with the nation. Many ele-
ments contributed to the Republican
landslide, but none of them were To-
cal to Missouri. When the people
have occasion to look about for a
MAN again, they will know where to
find him and again he will be pressed
into service. To such men there is
sacrifice in leaving the desk of great
business, but their reward comes in
the satisfaction of service rendered.
Service was the watchword of the
Gardner administration and rewards
were largely in the satisfaction OF
service rendered as the treasury was
left with five millions on hand.-Pop-
lar Bluff Citizen Democrat.

LEGISLATIVE LETTER

"Retrenchment and Reform" il
the refrain Of the Republican legislat-
ors. Without about one-half of the
session gone the sum total of their
activities has been to engross a few
bills, introduce measures calling for
increases of salaries to the amount OF
some two million dollars. Add to the
number of clerks in both Senate and
House and increasing the pay Of
those of the Senate, double the num-
Der of the caretakers of the capitol,
add a guard to the Governors man.
sion, appoint several investigating
committees, and caucus.
The iniquitous custom of govern
ment by caucus has been so flagrantly
abused that even Republican papers
are protesting. No matter how tri-
vial the matter, whether the subject
touches the welfare of the people as
whole, or whether it is wholly po-
litical, at the high sign from Govern
or Lloyd in the Senate and Speaker
O'Fallon in the House the bodies are
recessed and the Republicans caucus.
Thus by star-chamber and dark-lan-
tern methods ten Republicans control
the entire legislation.
The House awoke the other day to
learn it had exceeded by far the num-
Der of clerks it had professed to have.
The Hon. Mr.. Walthal Moore, colored
gentleman, member of the House
from st. Louis, was found to have
more than any of the white brethren.
Some of Mr.. Moore's appointees are
said to be jefferson City white wo-
men. A hasty caucus was held. In
asmuch as white women, negro men,
negro women and just ordinary Re
publicans were cheek by jowl sucking
at the states udder, and it would re-
quire lot Of delicacy in determining
who should be torn away. nothing
was done.
A Democratic measure to reduce
the income tax rate and to lessen the
exemptions has aroused great antag-
onism from the Republicans, who
would be deprived of seevral million
dollars of superfluous revenue.
1t is already apparent the Republi-
cans plan to do nothing towards en-
acting road legislation at the present
session, but will put the taxpayers to
the expense of a special session,
thereby giving the lawmakers a job
for the summer. The legislation rela-
tive to the expenditure Of the sixty
million dollars is the chief stock in
trade for the Republicans. AS long as
they can postpone any definite action
on the road matter they make ex-
changes of Legislation. When they
have gotten all they can they win bum
co the people with rotten road laws.
Negro, domination, fathered, moth
cred, sistered and brothered by the Re-
publican party threatens the nation.
The results Of the recent census show
all the cities north Of the Mason and
Dixon line to have increased In negro
population from twenty-five to seven
ty-fve per cent. The Republican par
ty for the past few years have deliber-
ately designed that negroes should Be

instituted a replevin suit in a Justices
court Farmer Brown did not like the
idea of giving up and employed Belsch

case.
"The agent Of the company identi-
fed the mules in general way on re-
semblance and size but particularly
by the brand P. X. He said this was
the brand of the Pilot Knob Company.
The defendant could only state the
manner and time of getting the mules
and their condition when he got them.
BeIsch made short but convincing
argument. Gentlemen of the jury,
he said, ''here is this hireling of bog

county hunting up mules left by

"He has jumped on old man Brown

what P. X. stands for. 1t stands for
Prices Cavalry, and all the evidence

Brown got the mules from Prices
army. They got his mules. Prices
army was all cavalry. P. X. stands
for Prices Cavalry, and they are
Browns mules by as good title as
any of you have to a horse on your
place." The jury promptly returned a
verdict for the defendant and the
agent was SO Disguised with Cole
county justice that he did not lake
any appeal.

Surrounded in the dark by seven

Robert Reay was compelled to open
the store and stand by while the Mex
leans looted his room and the cash
register of about $50. OF three Mex

was positively identified by Reay as
having been of the holdup party.
Reay had been to the house Of his
partner, Charles Johnson, for dinner,
and was returning To his room in the
back part of the store at about s
o'clock at night When he reached

Mexicans informed Reay that they

SOLDIER STAYS
BORDER OFFICER
Jose Matrecito Shot Down By
Man Whom He Halted at
Border Early Sunday

Jose B. Matrecito, Mexican cistoms
officer at Naco, was shot and killed
Sunday morning, at about o'clock.
by man in the uniform of an Amer
lean soldier, thought to have been on
leave from Camp Jones, at Douglas.
The shooting occurred on the Mex
lean side. near the international gate,
and Immediately after the shooting
the American ran TO the American
side and disappeared in the darkness.
He had not been captured last night.
According to the Mexican officials
at Naco, the American had been boil
sterous earlier in the evening and
had caused some trouble. He was
approaching the line to recross to this
side when he was approached by the
customs officer who demanded to
know if he had a gun. The Ameri-
can, according to the Mexican Off
Gals, irrediately drew his gun ana
fired twice, one bullet taking effect
in the customs officers leg, and the
other in his head, killing him instant
ly.
Angel Casarin, consul for Mexico al
Naco. took possession of an American
army hat found on the scene of the
shooting and that bore the wearer's
initials. Casarin went TO Camp Jones
at Douglas last Itght to take the
matter up with the camp officers in
an effort to locate the owner of the
hat.

MANGLED BODY
IS BURIED HERE
Unidentified Man Is Killed
Near Hereford; Inquest
To Be Held Today

The mangled body of an unidentified
man was found this morning at about
7:30 o'clock, by a train crew, along
the railroad tracks about five miles
beyond Hereford. 1t is presumed that
the MIN was struck by train some
time Sunday night The body was so
badly mangled that identification was
impossible, and it is even uncertain
if it was a Mexican or an American.
When notified yesterday morning
of the gruesome find, n. ]. Mckenzie
justice of the peace at Lowell, hastily
summoned coroner's jury and went
to the spot. The body was loaded
onto a freight train and conveyed to
Hereford and from there to Bisbee
where it was buried yesterday morn
ing.
No possible means of identification
was found in the clothes. The sta
tion agent at Hereford said that a
man wearing the same sort of clothes
blue overalls. was seen about the sta
ton Sunday evening, and had started
walking east along the railroad track.
The coroner's jury will meet at
Lowell today to give verdict in the
case. It is doubtful if Identification
will ever be obtained.
