Address all Communications to The Montana PROSPERITY!! UNION!!! REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET For Representative in Congress— CHAS. N. PRAY of Choteau County For Asso. Justice of Supreme Court— HENRY C. SMITH of Lewis and Clark County Uncle Chet Thomas of Kansas was noted for his political philos- ophy. One of his quaint sayings was "Boys, if you can't beat 'em ine 'em." At any rate, if a notorious worker of the third was hustler enough to make a showing in his bailiwick he was only following in the wake of democratic ward heelers, pluggers, etc., which have become notorious for their political pull, such as "Bathhouse John" of Chicago, Bill Adler, convicted murderer and democratic hothouse politician and ward boss in Kansas City, and other eminent lights who do the work for democratic bosses. At the ballot box Ingalls' phrase as to the democracy of death becomes apparent at that portal. Dives gives up his riches; Lazarus his rags; they meet on a common level in so far as their ballot is concerned. By showing an enrollment of 30,000 children at the opening of the schools in San Francisco it is very evident that the children did not all leave after the earthquake. William Allen White, the famous writer of Kansas, gives out the following dope in his Emporia Gazette to the young men: "Stay by the Republican Party and save it. If the ticket itches with the railroad mange, scratch it where it itches and then stop. Remember it is better to scratch and be a Republican than to bolt and be a Democrat." The Georgia Outlaws The strife between the races at Atlanta, right on the heels of the recent meeting of the National Business Men's League in that city is deplorable and unfortunate. But what more can be expected of the howling dervishes, who, on account of a natural instinct of race hatred are not unlike savages who become unmanageable at the sniff of blood. They may, and no doubt are murdering innocent men and women without trial or jury, simply because they are black; but the day of reckoning will surely come, and as General Sherman and John J. Ingalls predicted, the patient suffering and humility of the persecuted race will change, and instead of the peaceful and law-abiding citizen, they will change, forced at the very brink or annihilation to defend themselves; who knows but what they will align themselves under a modern Tousant La Overture, marching under the blood-stained banner of revolution, when the torch and bomb will do their deadly work. Not in defence of the vicious element of the race, but of the innocent, and who could blame them. While we counsel conservatism and forebearance, and condemn, in unmeasured terms the crimes committed by the vicious crimes committed of our people, we, with equal vehemence condemn those who essay to take the law in their own hands, and make the innocent suffer for the wrongs of others, and in doing so who knows but what the Georgia outlaws are only going through a slaughter house to an open grave. While the Independent is so busy jogging Mayor Lindsay's attention to the gambling evil, in order to be consistent, if for no other reason, why not call the attention of the County Attorney to this issue. Above all the officials in the County he is the one who can do more for the suppression of gambling than any other one man. We take it that in order to win this Fall's campaign there will have to be something presented to the people in support of their ticket other than ridicule and falsehoods, as the Independent seems to be long on those two; the Democratic managers will have to get the merits of their various candidates before the people. The morning newspaper in a long tirade headed "Uplift of the Negro," but really a column of hog wash directed against a young colored man whose highest ambition is to run a saloon or crap game, should challenge this young man to mortal or some other combat, as the people are no doubt fatigued at their differences. This young man, owing to his ancestry, has not had much of a chance in the world, but it looks as though he will in some way get through the world. If the great moral daily will just arrange it so their little differences can be put on to a finish the public will certainly feel relieved. The dive would fail to flourish if the police would keep the idler on the move. The organization by our people of a forum whereby they can meet at least once a week and exchange ideas, and promote thrift and enterprise is a commendable move which should meet the approbation of all who would have the race rise. We hope that the efforts along this line will be a success, and that our leading citizens will join in this movement to make it go. THE W&STERN TUSKEEGEE Industrial Institute Notes. The Fall Term began Tuesday with a very encouraging enrollment. Students are in attendance from every section of Kansas, and the entire West. Sedgwick County leads in the non-resident enrollment with Johnson County as a close second. Every day our students receive an abundance of wholesome vegetables and fruit from our farm. The boys appreciate the farm work. We have just planted fourteen acres of alfalfa. A number of ladies under the leadership of Mrs. J. M. Wright spent one day last week canning fruit for the school. We are very grateful for the work of these good ladies, and trust others will do likewise. Principal W. R. Carter preached at Shiloh last Sunday morning. A very generous offering was given our school. May others follow Shiloh's example. Mrs. F. E. Motin, our instructor in Elocution and Delsarte gave a recital at Western University this week. Mrs. Motin is the leading Negro Elocutionist in the West, being the only Negro member of the Kansas Elocutionary Society. She always pleases her audiences. All of the departments are running in full bla t. Every year shows an improvement in the systematizing of our industrial work. Our instructors are from the leading technical schools of the country, and have been especially trained for their work. Students continue to arrive. While we receive students at any time, it is advisable that they enroll at once as we require students to make up all back work. Helena, Montana, Friday, September 28, 1906. The nomination of the Hon. Leon LaCroix to serve a second term as County Attorney by the Democratic Convention last Thursday was a surprise to everybody, and we verily believe was one to himself. That he will go down to ignominious defeat on the 6th of November admits, of no doubt or question, a weaker or poorer showing could of no possibility be made in that important office than the showing made by LaCroix in the last two years. HIS RECORD The statistics from the work which has gone through that office will be shown from time to time through these columns, and if any voter can conscientiously vote for a man who has practically thrown the funds of the tax-payers to the four winds of the County, with no greater results than LaCroix we are greatly mistaken in the makeup and intelligence of the voters of Lewis and Clark County. The statistics from the work which has gone through that office will be shown from time to time through these columns, and if any voter can conscientiously vote for a man who has practically thrown the funds of the tax-payers to the four winds of the County, with no greater results than LaCroix we are greatly mistaken in the makeup and intelligence of the voters of Lewis and Clark County.

But every person who is at all conversant with matters politically, freely admits that he has not even a look-in, as far as being re-elected is concerned. WILL SHOW HIM UP INDEALER.

And we will leave it for the voters to verify our statement that he has been weighed in the balance and found wanting. The Saloonkeepers, Bartenders and Taxpayers up in Arms The saloon men and bartenders of Helena should assuredly feel kindly disposed toward LaCroix when they recall that he took the trouble, while acting as County Attorney, to go to Great Falls and testify against the State in the Keerl case. Not only did he embarrass the prosecution by testifying that in his opinion Keerl was insane; but for his valuable (?) services in that regard charged to and received from Lewis and Clark County the sum of $19.60 as mileage, being 10 cents per mile going and returning, when as a fact he had in his possession, and undoubtedly used, an annual pass over the lines of the Great Northern within the State. It would seem for this dtstinguished service rendered the bartenders at so nominal a cost to the taxpayers of the County La Croix should receive their united support. One of their number had been murdered in cold blood, and it only cost this County $19.60 to have its County Attorney use his utmost endeavors to prevent the conviction of the murderer.

Hurrah for La Croix! space was filled with an enthusiastic and representative gathering of our people, who were anxious to hear the exercises and the addresses. The Proclamation was read, and addresses were made by J. B. Bass, Miles York, and Spencer Smith; they were along the line of racial progress, and discussed what can be done for the future progress and uplift of our people. It was the unanimous opinion of all present that meetings along the line of this one should be held often, and no doubt steps will be HIS RECORD taken to the end that those who have the welfare and interest of the race at heart may meet often and exchange ideas which will crystallize into something which will be of vast benefit to the progress of the race. We shall keep the people posted through these columns as to the progress of the move, and ask them all to take an interest and come out when these meetings are called.

Thursday's Entertainment The Social Dance to be given by the Autumn Leaf Club next Thursday evening is for the purpose of entertaining the visitors who will be in the city from Butte and other points over the State. The visitors will in no event be charged for admission or for refreshments. The boys are working hard to make it a success. Over 250 invitations are to be sent out; the splendid Electric Hall has been engaged, also Brass' Orchestra, and a royal time is assured. Attention! Everybody! If you are interested in the progress of the race, come out to Sunday's Meeting at this office at 3 o'clock, P. M. Matters of great importance to the community are to be considered. Dr. B. C. Brooke was the man, and not Mr. Wendel, who voted even against the Committee recommendation that the Zanzibar license be not granted, and we do not believe that there is anyone who thinks any the less of him for it, as it was a plain case of railroading two citizens out of business without even a semblance of a hearing. He demonstrated that he was broad enough to be fair, and that if other equally as notorious and pernicious places were to be allowed to run, why single out only this particular one? In other words he refused to be lined up by the lies of brassed officials who had it in for the firm on personal grounds and used the Council and Mayor to crush them. Today there is not a more popular man in the County tnan Dr. Brooke. He is a man like our own Roosevelt, who believes in a square deal for all. WANT U.S, FIGHTERS ALL GLASSES IN GUA WINT AN ARMED INTERVENTION, American Mediators Under Leadership of Taft Expect Peace Shortly — Business Men Lack Confidence in Ability of Cubans to Govern—Secy. Taft Favors Giving Another Chance. Havana, Sept. 24—All classes are now waiting for the conditions under which tranquility will likely be restor ed in Cuba, and keen disappointment is expressed on every side because o! the likelihood of peace being brought about without armed American inter vention. That the differences of the opposing factions could be reconciled Was not generally believed to be pos sthle until today, when ft was an nounced that the liberals and the in surgents had empowered a committee to represent them before the Amer: ican mediators. It is evident that the business inter- ests of the Island have no confidence in the ability of the Cubans to rule themselves and now, when it appears to be too late, they are openly favor- ing forcible intervention and possibly annexation. Secretary of War Taft is cognizant of this general opinion that peace can not last unless it is enforced by an American-army, but-he-considers-that it 1s the duty of the United States to give the republic another chance and believes it will be bad policy for the United States to keep a force in Cuba longer than was required to supervise the laying down of arms. He said to- day that if the liberals and moderates harmonize thelr differences the Unit- ed States must regard the compact as made in good faith. ‘That peace will come as the result of the mediation of the United States 4s now believed by the Cubans, regard- Jess of party alllances, but whether it will be on terms that will insure per- manent tranquility is questioned. When the diplomatic representa tives of foreign powers visited Mr. Morgan's villa at Marianoa today Mr. ‘Taft significantly remarked that he could give thom no definite assurances for peace, for the rewon that the terms had not been put forward. This statement was in response to an ex- pression from Cayan de Avala, the Spanish minister, that the world ex- pected the United States to settle the controversy on such terms as will guarantee the security of foreign in- terests. Salute Is Significant. ‘There is considerable comment to- day over the fact that a salute of 19 guns was given Secretary ‘Taft when he visited the warships. Previously he had been given the usual 17 guns, to which the secretary of war is en- illed, Two extra guns means that he js recognized as an ambassador extra- ordinary on a special mission with plenary powers from President Roose- || yelt. It is known that he now has]! een authorized to exercike his own|| udgment in all matters pertaining to egotiations and that the squadron]! with its entire force is under his im-|' nediate control. ‘ It now appears that Acting Secre-|' ary of the Interior Montalvo ordered |! he trains prepared in anticipation of | he possible landing of a supply of|' wartermaster's stores at the wharf. |‘ ‘he captain of the port gave color to|’ he report that they had been placed here in readiness for the landing of nen.

San Francisco, Sept. 25—Another tragedy of the great fire has been brought to light through the finding of the remains of a score or more bodies in the ruins of a lodging house at the corner of Fifth and Minna streets. Thirty Lashes for Negro. Wilmington, Del—Before 500 per- sons Charles Conley, the negro who was a few days ago sentenced to 50 years’ Imprisonment and to receive 30 lashes for committing an assault upon Mrs. Beatrice Frankish and her daugh- ter, was publicly whipped today in the: yard of the Newcastle county work- house. More than 2000 persons clamored for admission to the workhouse yard. Although the lashes were well laid on, they were carefully distributed, so that no blood was drawn, Deny Armour Will Sell Out.

Negroes by the Score Kicked, Clubbed or Shot by jnfuriated Whites—Nur- ber of Dead Large—Blacks Are Torn from Cars and Dragged Out of Shops—Militia Is Called Out. Auanta, Ga., Sept. 24.—In one of the worst race riots known in Georgia a number of negroes were killed and scores badly injured by infuriated whites Saturday night. Reports of the number of dead vary. Some place it as high as 30. Four attempts at assault on white women by negroes within or near the limits of the city wrought white citi- zens to @ high pitch of excitement. The assaults of the day followed two others of a similar nature, within the week and at least half a dozen others within the last tw@ months, and brought matters to a climax. Governor Terrell has issued an or- der calling out elght companies of the Fifth infantry and one battalion of light artillery. This order was not is- sued until three negroes had been kill- ed and 15 taken to the hospitals, five of whom will die. These comprise only those casee of which the police have official information. ~The mob began” its work early in the evening, pulling negroes from street cars and beating them with clubs, bricks and stones. Negro men and women, riding to their homes aft- er the work of the day, were ruth- lessly torn from the cars or attacked on the streets. In a few cases negroes retaliated during the early part of the night, but after 10 o'clock they were scarce in public places. ‘The fire department was called out to disperse the mob on Decatur street, 4 street most frequented by negroes, and for a time seemed to hold the crowd at bay. The police reserves were called out und will hold the sit- 1ation until troops can be mobilized. The mob seemed to lack leadership, and this doubtless prevented greater slaughter. Bitter Race War. The disturbance here has taken the form of an active and bitter race war. The barber shops where negroes were employed next became objects of attack, One of the hardest fights of the night took place about the post- office, A negro barber shop across the street was the object of attack, and in less time than it takes to tell it the shop was wrecked and the ne- groes were beaten, one to death, the other proprietors escaping by the aig of the police, On Peters street a hard fight took place. This was started by a negro shooting at the crowd below from a second story window. A bullet hit him and he fell back and died in a few moments. One negro who was found with a pistol in nis hand was beaten to death on the viaduct, in the center of the city and a block from the Asso. clated Press office. Colonel Clifford Anderson, of the Pifth Georgia regiment, is in charge of a squad of 100 militiamen, patrolling the center of the city. All reserve police are on duty, and are patrolling the streets armed with rifles. A heavy rain has begun and this has cleared the streets. Two White Women Frightened. Mrs. F. Arnold, in the west part of the city, was attacked in the yard be- hind her home at 7 o'clock last night and escaped by screaming for help. The negro escaped, but a negro was arrested and brought to police head- quarters, Mrs. Chaffin, living near the Sol- diers' Home, wag attacked in a simi- lar manner this afternoon. A posse is searching the woods for her assailant. Later Report. Nearly 24 hours have elapsed since 4 race war of no mean proportions be- gan in Atlanta. It is believed that at least 16 lives have been sacrificed and the number of injured will be 40, sev- eral of whom cannot recover. | The city is controlled by the police, aided by nearly 1000 state militia. 7 Another Riot Monday. The reports of slaughter in various parts of Atlanta since the sun went down, after the most careful investiga- tion possible, bave sifted down to one fight Letween a number of county po- lice and deputies and an unknown number of negroes. In the fight, which took place in South Atlanta, ‘in the vicinity of Clark university, ‘a negro instution, a county policeman, James L. Heard, was killed. Four other officers were wounded and three p-lice- men were missing at last report. ‘The number of negroes dead is not known; possibly it will never be known. ‘The ofticers, in the darkness, claim to have counted from six to 15 dead.

Brownell of the Everett law firm of Brownell & Coleman has served papers in a com Gemnation proceeding against several riparian owners along the Chelan river between here and Chelan falls. The ‘action is brought in the name of the Chelan Electric company, the corpora- tion recently organized in Everett, ot which J. T. McChesney is president. Some of the land involved is situated within the corporate limits of the town of Chelan. The petition states that it is neces cary for the company to acquire all of the power in the Chelan river, and for this reason it will need the riparian rights before mentioned. A large dam ‘vill be erected some distance below town and the water raised to the line of high water on Lake Chelan. This power is to be used 1o develop -jectris power for the operation of an clectrie railroad from the town of We- natchee, with a branch to Lake Che- Jan, and up the Ukanogan river to the northern boundary of the state. The power will also be utilized .n supply- ‘ng the town of Chelan with electric lights and water and in lighting the towns of Wenatchee, Waterville, Oron- do, Brewster and points along the Columbia river. The power will fur ther be used to pump water for irri- gating purposes from the columbia river along that stream. The peti- toner states that it further expects to use the power for the purpose of oper- ating the line of the Greac Northern from Wenatchee to Seattle, a distance of 160 miles, and for lighting the varl- ons towns along the way. The Chelan Electric company has already acquired the riparian rights of 2 number of land owners along the river, but could not come to terms wita others. The company recently purchased the holdings of the Chelan Water Power company, including the electric Nght plant and waterworks, und, $0 far as the members of that ompany are concerned, the sult is a friendly one.

The fair lasts two weeks and during the remainder of the time the ronds will give a fare and a third rate from all points in the Inland Einpire. This rate is good every day. Reports indicate that the opening night parade and festival, given by the 150,000 club and by the Mystic Order of E-Nek-Ops were a grand success in evrey way.
