PACKED CARDS

tropolis, and Massac County had
the cards packed against the
Negroes in the recent election
held, but that was what We pre-
dicted from the beginning. The
defeat of Capt. H. G.. Burke.
for county commissioner. The
color line was injected into the
race, the extent that the white
vote was almost centered on
Walbright, though there were
three other splendid white men
who had announced and thought
they We're in the race until after
the vote was counted and were
sadly disappointed when they
found they too had been trick
ed" by the willy politician, If
they had played the game fairly
and divided their vote as they
usually do when there is no Ne
gro on the ticket, Burke. would
have been elected, and no one
knew this better than the astute
politicians who were in tie
frameup and played the game to
a success.
The much talked of ''Democ-
racy' was lost sight of, and the
fellows who kept their carcass
es" at safe distance when the
Negroes were on the firing line,
were their denouncing the Ne
.groes because they dared to ex-
ercise their constitutional right
aor which we have paid so dearly
as you, SO well know. These
same men viii have their mits'

Negroes will be the first they

MAY CONSTRUCT
 MILL AT THANE DURING SPRING
VEE George I. Jackson Says Be- lieves Paper Making Plant
 About in Line Now.

"I believe that we are well in lin; now to see the establishment o a large pulp and paper manufacturing plant at Thane, and I hope and be lieve that construction will be start ed this Spring." declared George T Jackson, General Manager of the Alaska Gastineau Mine, speaking be citation today. The big slump in the money markets which started last fall. said MT. Jackson, had been a deterrant factor in the establish ment of the proposed plant.
 The amount of capital required to erect and operate the plant pro posed at Thane, he said, was enor- nous. The investment at Ocean Falls, B. C., where similar indus try is operating. he said. is between s12,O00,OOO and s15,OO0,OO0 The com pany, however. he said had the surplus water power at this time to operate a 100-ton mill and plant and more could readily be devel- oped. The water power which has been developed by the company, he said. had an approximate value Of s2.000.000 This with machine shops. wharves, site and necessary buildings and materials already possessed by the company. make Thane an ideal place for the establishment of the proposed industry.
 He gave brief review of the diff faculties under which the Alaska Gastineau mines have been operated since 1915, and how it's operation had been maintained despite the un- favorable conditions growing out of ever-increasing costs. He said that the company had spent much money in an effort to get assistance but that it was not believed that any relief would be available from leSis- lative sources. Briefly he gave the history of the interest of the com pany in the development of water power, it's study of the pulp industry and it's determination to enter the paper making industry on a substan- tial scale. and declared that he be lieved that the near future would see the beginning of the enterprise. .
 < He spoke warmly in praise of the policy of the Forest Service in en- couraging the pulp industry "As far back as 1917,' he said, I've were offered contracts for supplies on as advantageous terms as are offered today" .....

that in the near future the whole Maritime Province will also be com pletely Bolshevised. Should the Chita Government attempt to Bolshevise the regions where the Japanese troops are stationed, the probable consequence will be a repetition of the commotion caused in the vicin ity of Vladivostok some time ago when compulsory disarmament of the Bolsheviks was carried out by the Japanese troops.
 So long, however, as the Rus sians refrain from any attempt to upset the position now held by the Japanese troops at Vladivostok and the vicinity Japan will stand aloof from Russian internal events for she believes that the reconstruction of Russia will be realized with less difficulty by leaving Russian affairs to Russians

IDAHO INDIANS FAST
 AMASSING FORTUNES

LEWISTON, Idaho, Feb. 3.-In- dians on the Neg Perce reservation are a thrifty lot and prosperous. de clared C. H. Linse, of the agency of Fort Lapwai. The annual report of Supt.. Linse shows that nearly $800,000 was paid out to Indians Of the reservation during 1920 and that the majority of these reinvested it for land and farming machinery.
 The Neg Pcrce Indians are fast becoming expert agriculturists, aC- cording to Supt, Linse. Most of the 180,000 acres of land on the Neg Perce reservation is owned by the Indians themselves and many have modern farms.
