H. FARMER The Way of the Transgressor is Hard We note that in the First Congressional District of Kansas that the former Judge of the District Court from Atchison has been named as the Prohibition Democratic Candidate for Congress against the peerless Charles Curtis Republican. Of course Curtis will be elected by more than 10,000 majority; but it is a long way from the leading judicial position of the District to a political nonentity, leading a forlorn and hopeless cause. But thereto hangs a tale,—in parallel to what we confidently believe will be the doom of the Hon Leon LaCroix, erstwhile County Attorney of Lewis and Clark County. As our meeting with Judge Webb of Kansas, and LaCroix of Montana in a journalistic way were very similar in character. Although he was Judge of the District Court, and a staunch Republican elected, and had a normal majority to figure on of more than 1,000 votes. We had the temerity to call upon him in the course of our travels, as publisher of the Topeka Call, and each a reception we got! About the same that LaCroix gave us, as publisher OF THE MONTANA PLAINDEALER. That was his inning; but we went back to the people for ours; we told them what a narrow, ingoted, and cheap man he was; we went to the records, backed up our assertions, and threw the searchlight of public opinion thereon, and the Judge woke up and asked for an armistice; he even called on the State Central Committee to come to his rescue, and call us off. He wired us, and visited our sanctum, 51 miles from his home; but we had kindled the fire, and it could not be put out, and while the entire Republican ticket was elected, he alone went down to ignominious defeat by a majority of more than 300. This is a matter of history and the poor old Judge is butting around now, catching on the tail of any old party in a futile attempt for political prestige. His case so far is an exact parallel to that of LaCroix's, and the two will drink the bitter drags of defeat, and the more so because administered by the great organ which has for its motto "Peace, Prosperity, and Union," the MONTANA PLAINDEALER. Last week there was such a demand for THE PLAINDEALER, notwithstanding the large number of extras we printed that we had only one left for filing purposes. All indications point to a triumphant endorsement of Roosevelt at the polls on November 6th. Voting for Democratic members the Legislature is a vote indirectly for one-eyed Tillman of South Carolina and Vardaman of Mississippi. Rev. Osborne who takes charge of St. James Church comes to this charge well recommended as a faithful and energetic churchman, having served in nearly all the foremost charges of the North Missouri Conference. We sincerely hope that with him at the helm, the Church will take on new life, and continue on its mission for the saving of souls, and the uplift of the race, and that all citizens who stand for progress and Christianity will lend a helping hand to the pastor in his undertaking. The attitude of some of the Republican candidates for local positions indicates that they do not care a rap as to the colored vote. Sure as the colored votes have nothing at stake they can say likewise to them. We note with sorrow the death of the Hon. G. C. Clemens of Topeka, Kan. His death is a distinct loss to not only Kansas, but the nation as well, he, aside from being one of the greatest legal forces in the country was at all times the friend of the humble and oppressed, in his death the colored race have lost a true and tried friend, as with him there was no pretense his friendship was sincere, knowing him personally as we do, and having been in his employ we can truthfully say that the oppressed of the land and especially the colored race have lost indeed a friend and advocate. J. Ralph Burton We have also had some experience along the line with the convicted senator of Kansas. We always found him narrow, bigoted, and strictly for Burton, others may reach out and assist a struggling people or enterprise, but not for Burton. He rode into the U. S. Senate, on the popularity, and astuteness of D. W. Mulvane, and when he gets this high position prostitutes it and humiliates his friends. But it is the same old story in the same old way, and when you meet a man who is in possession of those two attributes, narrowness, bigotry and cheapness, sooner or later he will strike his level as in the case of J. Ralph Burton. DEATH OF BISHOP ARNETT In the death of Bishop Arnett the race has lost one of its leading lights. He has set a living example of thrift and industry, the heights to which we may go. As a theologian, scholar, author and statesman he has at all times acquitted himself with honor and glory. We first met him at the Republican Convention in that memorable contest between T. B. Reed and Wm. McKinley for the presidency, and as everyone knows his election depended largely on the vote of the colored delegates to that Convention. The Bishop was one of McKinley's trusted Lieutenants; he always held the lamented President's esteem, and was one of his trusted advisers. In his death the race loses one of its brightest stars. Helena, Montana, Friday, October 19, 1906. M. B. Everybody knows Capt. J. M. Adamson, the popular candidate on the Republican Ticket for Constable. He is a staunch friend of the colored people, and they know it, and such men at all times can command their united support. SOWING THE WIND REAPS THE WHIRLMIND The Plaindealer had no more than said that some crime would be committed and someone else would in all probability be blamed than it happened; and it was fortunate that it was no more serious than the alleged robbery of some drunken Austrian. The FREE AND EASY REGIME breeds crime, and the only antidote is remove the cause, put the IDLERS AND LOAFERS TO WORK, and the danger of crime will be reduced to the minimum. Or SOWING the WIND we shall only reap a WHIRLWIND. On last Tuesday there was in the Independent a deliberate LIBEL, calculated to injure and prejudice the community against this publication, wherein they unequivocally made the statement that L. V. Graye was the proprietor of this journal. In our long experience as a newspaper man we have never been called upon, and, in fact, have never lived in a community which would tolerate such a lying, deceptive, and vile sheet to exist, and which does not hesitate to blacken the character of any citizen, and which can be likened unto the Evening News of Atlanta, which inspired the recent deplorable race war in that city. Not satisfied with crushing Graye anking his name odious in this community, they seek to connect him with one who has spent his life in the work of promoting the interests of a struggling race, and they would with the tongue of a liar and hypocrite injure and destroy his business if it were possible to do so. We have an abiding faith, however, that the broad-guaged, intelligent men of Montana will hesitate to accept as truth anything that emanates from this seducer of character, this sea vengerf, who, like the buzzards fight for carrion endeavorto ape Tillman, Vardaman, Dixon, et al, especially where a colored man is concerned. Demand Retraction or Will Seek Redress in Courts Copy of Communication Sent to Independent, Oct. 16, 1906 Hon. Jno. S. M, Neill, Proprietor Helena Independent Helena, Mont. Dear Sir: With near a score of years in the harness as a newspaper man (Continued on fourth page) of Washington Bee. The Associated Press dispatches from Atlanta, Ga., to the effect that dozens of colored citizens were killed and wounded, and but a few of the mob that attacked them. This report is false. There were at least twenty-six of the mob killed, and more would have been killed had the militia remained in. The colored man in the South is no coward, and the white mob is realizing the fact. The colored citizens of Georgia are no cowards, and if the Georgia people think so, furnish the colored with a sufficient number of guns and they will soon convince the nation. There is no use in hiding the fact, the colored man has got to fight when he is attacked without cause. All of this talk, "don't retaliate," is bosh. No man but a coward will remain silent and see his wife and children murdered by a mob. Why should we expect less from those innocent colored people in Georgia? It is asserted that the bad white and colored element in Georgia were the cause of the recent riot. If this be true, some of the so-called best white people in the city of Atlanta were seen leading the mob against innocent colored citizens. It is so strange that the good (?) white people of Atlanta, Ga., should order the editor of the Augusta Baptist to leave for the publication of an article that appeared six years ago and permit John Temple Graves to remain who, by his firebrand editorials incited the riot. Dr. White's son in his absence six years ago published an excerpt from The Washington Bee. This excerpt justified a young man for defending himself from the attack of two young white roughs who assaulted him and his colored lady whom he was escorting. Dr. White of the Augusta Baptist was ordered at that time to leave the city of Augusta but when he explained that he knew nothing about the article, and was not present when it was published, the crackers of Augusta accepted the explanation and permitted him to remain. Now, because some persons had visions that a few colored men had attempted to assault several white women of Atlanta. No greater falsehood could have been circulated by the vile pen of John Temple Graves. He telegraphed the lie to the Washington Post of this city, which, no doubt, had been prepared several weeks before its publication. It didn't have the effect that Graves thought it would have upon the minds of it would have upon the minds of the good and sensible white people in the North. The result of the whole business was, the white mob started a riot, and before it was Oct. 26th. Every colored voter in ended twenty-six white crackers Helena is urgently requested to be were killed.

Richardson, the Republican candidate for the four-year term as County Commissioner, is a clean-cut and broad-gauged man whom all our people can support. He is a successful business man, and if elected to this important position he will discharge the duties thereto in a highly creditable and able manner, and recognize all regardless of party, class, or race. He believes in enterprises conducted by our people, and does not hesitate to encourage them. We advise all of our people to keep their minds on Richardson, and give him their undivided support. The people of Lewis and Clark County, regardless of party, may well congratulate themselves on having so excellent a citizen and capable business man as Mr. J. H. Carmichael for the important position of one of the three County Commissioners. He is a stalwart Republican, and stands for the right and a square deal for all. He is a pleasant and affable gentleman to meet, and not one of those who have one way to meet you during a campaign, and another way at other times, but the same man all the year around, so the people of Lewis and Clark County will make no mistake in voting for J. H. Carmichael for County Commissioner. One of the most genial public officials which we have ever met is the present Coroner, S. S. Bennett. He has so faithfully filled that position that the people think of no other, and everybody will of course support him for a reelection, and when the votes are counted we predict his election by an increased majority. Some of our supposed Republican friends, who by their actions are loathe to patronize this journal, should be equally as loathe, and with as much precaution admonish the colored voters against supporting them. Last week we spoke of Miss Maggie V. Smith's running qualities, and for the same our Republicanism has been challenged. We did not conceive that the test of Republicanism was for County Superintendent, although we have spoken well of her; why shouldn't we? Ever since THE PLAINDEALER was born she has always and at all times been a consistent friend to this publication and a liberal patron. She takes a great interest in the progress of our race, and in all matters for the uplift of our people Miss Smith has been present to aid and assist. We appreciate the same, and the highest compliment we could pay ourselves or the race with which our destiny is linked forever is to say a kind word complimentary, if you please, just a word.

HUNDREDS PERISHED BRITISH STEAMER HANKOW IS BURNED AT HONG K AG Over 2000 le cadens Passen- gers SuMfered Most—European Pas: sengers and Crew Escaped—Valua- ble Cargo a Tota! Loss—Only wi and Hull Remain—Origin Unknown. Hong Kong. Oct. 15—The British steamer Hankow was burned Sunday morning while lying alongside ber wharf. Hundreds of Chinese passen gers were burned to death, and a val uable cargo was destroyed. All the European passengers and crew were saved. The steamer Hankow, with 2000 Chinese passengers, men, women and children, and seven Europeans and a cargo including 2700 bales of matting, 50 bales of raw silk and 400 bales of waste silk, arrived from Canton and was shortly afterward moored at the whart. Her chief officer reported to Captain Branch that the ship was afire. The captain then directed the. chief engi- xeer to turn on the water through the fre hose, This was Impossible for the reason that within five minutes after the alarm was given the Hankow was ablaze fore and aft. Captain Branch then awakened the European passengers, who rushed down the gangway, the ladies in their nightclothes. The crew was compell- €d to leave the ship, which by this sime was a veritable furnace. The Chinese steerage passengers were thrown into a frightful panic. Horri- tying shrieks and cries to save their lives were heard, but escape was im- possible owing to the inflammable na ture of the cargo. Hundreds were burned to death and many others jumped into the harbor and were drowned. Responding to signals the British cruiser Flora and the naval dockyard ispatcbed contingents of engines and assistance. The land and floating bri- gades of firemen made herculean ef- forts to extinguish the flames, which jeaped to a height of over 60 feet. After four hours the fire was rought under control. at which time nly the shell and hull of the Hankow emained, There are many theories as to the ause of the fire. The first is that it ras caused by the overturning of a antern by a Chinese boarding house unner, Who came aboard secking cus- omers. The second is that an opium moker accidentally set fire to mat- ing, the third is that It was caused by he crossing of electric wires. A ourth theory and one that is consid- red the most probable is that the fire ras incendiary and was an outgrowth { @ boycott against British river oats. The steamer Hankow was owned by he China Navigation company of endon. and was built in Glasgow in 876. The vessel was constructed of ron. her dimensions being length. O85; beam, 42.3; depth, 152 feet. he registered 2073 tons gross. TWO STEAMERS COLLIDE. One Man Was Drowned and One Miss ing. Tivoli, N.

RACE TRACK RIO] TIGHTING LASTED FOR FOUR HOURS ON PARIS COURSE. Hundreds of People Injured, Some Fatally—Crowds Went Crazy When Favorite Did Not Win—They Tore Down Judges’ Stand—Police = fered—Jocked Was Kicked. Paris, Oct, 15.—The first real riot- ous demonstration in France since the riots of May last took place at the Longehamps race course Sunday and as a result fighting lasted for ovér four hours between the authorities and a mob of frantic people and more than one hundred persons were injured, severally fatally. There was an enormous crowd at the race course Sunday when the racing began. It was a crowd typical of Parisian life. The program comprised six races and the first two passed off without incident. There were nine starters in the free handicap, the next event, and four, including the favorite, were practically left at the post. The favor- ite was not able to get through until near the finish line, when he came ‘with a great rush, but did not quite get up. Most of the crowd thought the favorite won and when an outsider was posted as the actual purse gath- erer the crowd went crazy. They in- vaded the course, tore down the judges’ stand, and were it not for the fact that the police acted promptly and surrounded the officials, it is like- ly that some one would have been kill- ed. One man knocked down the jock- ey on the favorite and kicked him in the head, badly injuring him. The infuriated mob then charged upon the paddock and enclosure and tore them down, breaking everything they could. | While doing this a gang of the fa- mous “Guerrillas of Paris,” who con- gregated at the track, made an assault on the place where the mutuals are sold, and although the men in charge trled in every way to protect their money they failed and the crowd sue- ceeded in getting away with $60,000. The police on duty could do nothing to check the mob and they called upon the firemen to afd them. Although the latter sent several streams of water into the faces of the rioters they were useless and finally the mounted police, who had been hurriedly sum- moned, arrived and charged the crowd. They also used their revolvers freely, but fired for the most part over the heads of tne crowd or into the ground. After several hours of fighting the crowd was eventually dispersed, but not until after many heads had been broken, Sixty arrests were made and the race meeting had to be abandoned. The scene when the crowd sacked the betting ring was indescribable, and men, women and children fought for the gold and notes that were dropped by the first gang of thieves in their rush to escape with their booty.

It is the worst disease the world has ever known; responsible for more unhappiness and sorrow than all others combined. Nobody knows anything about the origin of this loathsome trouble, but as far back as history goes it has been regarded the greatest curse of mankind. No part of the body is beyond the reach of this powerful poison. No matter how pure the blood may be, when the virus of Contagious Blood Poison enters, the entire circulation becomes corrupted, the humiliating symptoms begin to appear, and the sufferer finds himself diseased from head to foot with the vilest and most destructive of all poisons. Usually the first symptom is a small sore or ulcer, so insignificant that it rarely ever excites Pe ERE RE ny es tag tee Lee ee eS, eet eon EE EY ee) ee ee oe a a ee oe a suspicion, but in a short while the skin E 3 breaks out in a red rash, the glands-of the ,,_ Dest irus51 had a frtend we ae a caien te groin swell, the throat and mouth ulcerate, tried all the medicines he could hear of, but nothing did dae boly ie coved ih copperecined Syees scenseera See aera * Jed, his hair stopped falling out, spots, pustular eruptions and sores, Sac, ovatianing wish it he ovon fousd biasealt waned oo There is hardly any limit to the rava- tirely of this hideous disease.

But no matter how the disease is contracted, the sufferer feels the humiliation and degradation that accompany the vile disorder. Mercury and Potash are commonly used in the treatment of Contagious Blood Poison, but these minerals cannot cure the disease—they merely mask it in the system. All ex- ternal evidences may disappear for awhile, but the treacherous poison is at work on the internal members and tissues, and ened these minerals are left off the disease returns worse than before, because the entire system has been weakened and damaged by the strong action of the Mercury and Potash. ‘There is but one certain, reliable cure for Contagious Blood Poison, and that is S. S.S., the great vegetable blood purifier. It attacks the disease in the right way by going down into the blood, neutralizing and forcing out every particle of the poison. It makes the blood pure and rich, strengthens the different parts of the body, tones up the system, and cures this humiliating and destructive disorder permanently. ‘The improvement commences as soon as the patient gets under the influence of S.

I have never been called upon to address the publisher of any paper as I do you of this date. Because I have always endeavored to be a man attaining strictly to my own business; I have, in that way gained, and as far as I know, retained the confidence, regardless of race or political alignment, of every citizen in the capital of Kansas, where I resided thirty-three years before coming here. I consider the article in which my name was mentioned on page 2 of your issue of this date, wherein you unequivocally,—falsely, state that Mr. Graye is the owner of THE PLAINDEALER, libelous and hurtful to my business. You may do almost anything you wish in the game of politics to win, but when you libel me and my business to further your ends I shall in no uncertain manner resent it. I stand for no political preferment, and am above board in all my dealings; according to my chance have the satisfaction of believing that I am making an honest living; and I demand that you retract the falsehood which you have published in reference to the ownership of THE PLAINDEALER, or be called upon to legally prove that any other person than the undersigned is proprietor and sole owner of the same. I demand that said retraction be given the same prominence as the false statement referred to. Very respectfully, J. B. Bass. POLITICAL SNAPSHOTS (Continued from first page) present, as matters of importance will be discussed. There is no question but that the colored vote of this County is easily the balance of power between the Democratic and Republican party, wherein there is a principle involved. There is no question as to where this vote will go in its entirety; but coming to local issues they expect at least a square deal, and under present conditions unless those Republicans interested in political preferment change their attitude. It is a question as to whether they will receive even one fourth of their support. A Monster Meeting of the colored voters is being arranged for, and addresses will be made by our own oratorical talent; the time and place of meeting will be announced in the next issue of this paper. We will publish several thousand extra copies of the PLAIN-DEALER during the rest of the Campaign. Our local readers and agents in Anaconda, Butte, Havre and other points may secure them by applying or writing this office. Church and Society Directory.
