EDITORIAL We are under many obligations to the Topeka Plaindealer for their kindly mention as to our carrier in Kansas. We can only say that with failing health that we are still holding up the race unity and progress, and if we fall we will keep hold unto the end. We would publish clipping of the above mentioned had not some misceant purlioned it from our desk. OUR NEW PASTOR Rev. B. R. Guy the new pastor of St. James is making good with a vengance since his arrival the church work has taken on with a new vim his influence for the uplift of the race in this bulwick is already apparent. The literary withthe vim which he will unt into it wil lagain flourish as it did in Rev. Osborn's time. We have known Rev. Guy whom we left in Kansas, and known him to be wide awake and up with the time, conservative and withal a man of the people. The Plindealer welcomes him to his new field having and abiding faith that neither the people of Helena or himself will regret coming to this Elderado of the North West Prof. Booker T. Washington is now on a swing preaching the doctrine of hope. Helena was too slow as Denver is the fartherest western point that he will touch. Senator J. M. Dixon made good at the dry farming congress, as he always can be depended on to do the junior senator has certainly been a credit to the state. TALK RIGHT OUT The following clipping from the New York Age is right to the point and should obtain in all sections where the colored voters figure, even in Montana. New York Negro's Vote There are at least twenty-five thousand Negro voters in Greater New York. The Republican party or fusion party is going to make a bid for these votes. We want to ask, however, what the Republican or fusion party, or reform party, or whatever its name may be, has ever done for Negro voters in New York City in the way of official recognition. Tammany Hall keeps scores of Negroes in important positions. If the fusionists or Republicans get in, what will they do for the Negro? We stand for good clean government above all thing. But even good clean government takes with it recognition in the way of offices. --- Even at this distance from elec- a different alignment of forces. As is stands the colored vote has the balancing power. Will they use it? The Mamiton people have voted confidence in Mr. Barrill, but if the vote put to all the people he will fall short, his actions all along have been clean cut, he held back his statement, what for? Barrill does not look good to us. The citizens of Helena acquited themselves creditably in entertaining their former townsman Geo H. Woodson on his recent visit. It was indeed a splendid tribunt, and shows how highly a man is appreciated when he makes his mark Geo. H. Woodson wil long remember his last trip to Helena, his old home. The reason is that on the night before he left all Helena turned out to a nicely arranged banquet for his honor. Helena is too progressive to let any man of Woodsons caliber come here without doing something. And when it comes to our onw George who has achieved fame at his position it was unanimous. The A. O. U. W. Hall on Sixth Avenue was filled to its capacity. The tables were loaded with the good things to eat, the fun began at 10 o'clock when M. O. J. Arnett acting as chairman called the assembly to order. Geo. M. Lee spoke on remininces of the past and in a happy vein made Mr. Woodson think way back. Alson J. E. W. Clark, Sergt. N. Walker, Eugene Clark and J. Bass spoke along the line of welcome and good will. Mr. Woodson himself made the speech of the evening. He stated to the Plaindealer afterwards that words could not express his appreciation for the compliment paid him and he wanted everybody's name who so honored him, the following were there or represented. Mesdames Crump, Howard, Matthews, Smith, Harrison, Saulesburg, Mason, Green, Lee, E. L. Clark, Ingram J. E. W. Clark, Thompson, Williams, Miss Peal Palmer, Miss Bell Griffin. Messers Joe Clark, E. L. Clark, J. D. Hart, J. E. Ingram, Joe Bond, R. Brown Geo. Lee Geo. Alexander Sr. Sergt. Smith C. C. Matthews, H. Saulsburg, D. Gordon, Spencer Smith, James Crump, A. Palmer. L. C. Foreman, Jeff Harrison, Wiles York, Julius Anderson, B. F. Hooper N. Walker, Ed. Glenn, Robert Napper, J. Hisk, M. O. J. Arnett, J. B. Bass, Will Mason. The committee on arrangement was J. B. Bass, J. C. Crump, M. O. J. Annett. BILL MASON DEPARTS Bill Mason as we all call him has left Helena to make California his home, we will say that Helena loses a good citizen and California gains one as Ww. Mason was one of our best citizens. Always ready to push and assist in everything that went to uplift the race, he was a staunch friend of the Plaindealer and we wishhim great success in his new field. WOULD LIKE TO KNOW M. quit D. al at once. They were hunting J. D. one night Wesley looks so lonesome now The young ladies did not get off the car in the right place. Two parties are always at the noodle joint. Helena, Montana, Friday, Oct 20 1000 COMES HIGHIY RECOMMENDED. Arkansas City Kans. Oct. 20, 1909. Greeting: To the official board of the St. James A.M.E.

To make and keep the little soldiers healthy and strong, is simply to make and keep the blood of the right quality and quantity. This is just what Houdt's Sarasagpile does—it helps the little soldiers in your blood to fight disease for you. It cures scrofula, eczema, eruptions, catarrh, rheumatism, anemia, nervousness, dyspepsia, general debility, and builds up the whole system. When Bloggins, senior, on the occasion of his annual party, was obliging his guests with "Tis Love That Makes The World Go Round," Master William Bloggins seized the opportunity to retire for a few minutes behind the Japanese screen with his sire's half-smokd cigar. The applause was subsiding, Master Bloggins was observed by one of the company to be looking far from well. His face had taken on the hue of putty and his eyes stood out like small hat pegs. "Good gracious, Willie! What's the matter?" cried Mrs. Bloggins in alarm. "I believe you've been smoking!" Willie shook his head. "Tain't that," he declared untruthfully. "If it's true what father's been singing about, I—I re-reck-on I'm in love!" "We'll teach those trusts a thing or two," said the statesman. "Don't do it," answered Senator Sorghum. "My observation is that the trusts never learn anything new without making it a source of further profit."

President Taft to Press Button That Opens Gates — Railroad Reduces Fares—Exhibitors From Everywhere —Two Bands, Twice a Day—Fine Vaudeville Program. Commercial orchards in practically every district in the northwest, including Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana and British Columbia, and in other parts of the United States and Canada will be represented by exhibits at the second National Apple show in Spokane, November 15 to 20, when the management, headed by Howard Elliott, president of the Northern Pacific Railway company, will distribute prizes and premiums of an aggregate value of $25,000 in competitions in 20 classes. The chief purse is the carload sweepstakes of $1,500 in gold, of which $1,000 is to the first, carrying with it also the title of quality apple king of America. Sixteen entries have been made in this class. Judges Are Named. Professor H. E. Van Deman of Washington, D. C., who has been appointed chief judge, will be assisted in making the awards by four associates: H. M. Dunlap of Savoy, Ill., Professor W. J. [Name] PROF. H. E. VAN DEMAN Chief Judge of Second National Apple Show, Spokane, Next Month. Green of Ohio, George J. Kellogg of Lake Mills, Wis., and A. P. Batcham of Mosier, Ore. President Taft will formally open the show by pressing a button in the White House at Washington, D. C., the morning of November 15. Two Conventions Arranged. Two big conventions are scheduled in connection with the show. One called for November 16 will be attended by apple growers, apple shippers, refrigerator car representatives, box manufacturers and horticulturists to consider the Lafean apple package and grading bill and its probable effect upon the apple business in the northwest. Decide Apple Box Standard. The call for this convention has been authorized by the state horticultural societies of Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Montana and its issuance has followed an agitation which has been going on for years over the apple box standard and which is now reaching the point where concerted action is deemed necessary. Discuss Lafean Bill. Advocates of the present standard northwest box (a little more than a Winchester bushel) will urge upon every one interested the necessity of placing the merits of the position taken by the northwest apple men before representatives in congress and at the same time an invitation is extended to advocates of the Lafean bill so that the matter may be threshed out upon its merits. J. L. Dumas, president of the Washington State Horticultural association, has been active for years to maintain the present box, which contains a little more than a Winchester bushel, the standard dry measure. It is his firm belief, and this is supported by thousands of apple men, that the enactment of the Lafean bill will prove detrimental to the fruit industry of the Pacific northwest. Revise Score Card. Another meeting will be for the purpose of adopting resolutions, urging the American Pomological society to revise its score card so as to embrace all the standard varieties of commercial winter apples. The scoring rules to be used this year are those adopted by the society more than 12 years ago, or before several of the varieties grown in the northwest were brought to their present state of perfection. Cheap Rates to the Show. The railroads entering Spokane, as well as connecting lines, have joined in making unusually low rates. The Transcontinental Passenger association has also authorized a special rate from practically every point west of the Mississippi river at a rate of one and one third for the round trip, the tickets being good for 30 days. Growers. Show in Transit. The railroads have also authorized a "showing in transit" rate, by which growers in any district may ship their exhibits consigned to themselves at the National Apple show, Spokane, and after the show is closed, the displays may be repacked and shipped to final destination at the original rate from the point of origin, and government officials have arranged for the free entrance of fruits from Canada for exhibition purposes. College Girls Demonstrate. A feature at the show will be the series of demonstrations of the apple as a food product by the Domestic Science department of the State College of Washington at Pullman, under the direction of Miss L. Gertrude Mackay, assisted by a dozen young women of the college in practical demonstrations of the preparation of apples for the table. Two Bands. Twice a Day. There will be afternoon and evening concerts in the armory and the main exhibition hall by two bands of 52 pieces under the direction of A. G. Fleeer and H. Van Hinkle. These organizations will also furnish music for the street parades and promenades. Opens With Big Parade. The Mystic Order of the Enakops has arranged to formally open the first night's show with an illuminated street parade, in which gaily decorated floats, horsemen and marchers in fantastic garb, headed by the Imperial band of 98 pieces, will make up the procession through the principal streets to the armory, where carnival attractions will be featured. Fine Vaudeville Program. There will also be two daily programs of refined vaudieville numbers on the armory stage. Cider Mill Lane is another attraction which should eclipse its success of last year. 2,500,000 Apples on Display. The problem of housing the numerous exhibits, aggregating more than 2,500,000 apples, has been satisfactorily solved by Ren H. Rice, secretary-manager of the show. First Prize $1.000. The premium list is complete in every way. In addition to prizes of $250 for firsts and $100 for seconds in 12 earload exhibits, there is the sweep-stakes of $1,000 for first, $500 for second and a solid silver loving cup for third. This contest is open to the world. Prizes of $100 for first and $50 for second are offered in the state and foreign country group displays, and prizes for displays in the ten, five and single box contests. Two 10-box contests carry with them land prizes valued at $1,250 and $1,000, respectively, and there are numerous others with prizes ranging from $100 to $10, with cups, medal banners and other marks of distinction, also prizes for plate exhibits and displays of home-made products. For the best collection of 10 separate views of irrigated land there is a prize of four acres of fruit land, also one of of $100 for a collection of 10 photographs of non-irrigated land and a prize of $50 for the best photograph of a single apple tree in bearing. The management has been compli- mented on all sides upon the arrange- ments for the show. To indicate the favor with which the enterprise is re- ceived in the eastern states the ap- pended extracts from a letter by W. M. French, treasurer of the Simons, Shut- teworth & French company of New York, importers and exporters of fruits with a string of houses in Europe, who handle thousands of boxes of north- western apples, are quoted: New York Apples on Display. "We are in sympathy with the National Apple show, which will be held for the second time in Spokane. To such an extent do we approve of it that our New York firm has sent several barrels of the best New York state apples that could be obtained, to be exhibited. Whether we win any prizes does not concern us. We are doing our little mite to uphold the dwindling reputation of eastern apples." COMING THEATER ATTRACTIONS AT SPOKANE THE AUDITORIUM, H. C.

The time of the play is the present and the scene is laid at Ossining, N. Y., better known in times pust as Sing Sing. Miss Billie Burke. Miss Billie Burke is making her first transcontinental tour as a star this season and from ali along the line come glowing accounts of the triumphs she is scoring. Her play is "Love Matches," a comedy by the same authors as "My Wife," the piece in which she first appeared in America as John Drew's leading woman. She is booked at the Auditorium theater, Spokane, on Monday evening, November 8. The youthful author pocketed his rejected verses, but he could not swallow the editor's criticism. "Sir," said he, not without dignity, "a poet is born, not made." a poet is born, not made." "Young man," returned the editor blandly, "it won't help your case to try to shift the blame on to your parents!" A young widow is awful smart to look so sad when a lot of old cats are around. CENTRAL BANK IDEA OPPOSED BY CONGRESSMAN FOWLER OF NEW JERSEY. OPPOSED BY CONGRESSMAN FOWLER OF NEW JERSEY. Addressed An Open Letter to Senator Aldrich, Challenging Him to a Debate —Says Project is Un-American— Names Propositions to Confinie Debate—Thinks Central Band Idea Bad Charles N. Fowler, congressman from the Fifth New Jersey district, and former chairman of the house committee on banking and currency, has addressed an open letter to Senator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode Island, chairman of the finance commission of the senate, challenging him to a joint debate in one or more cities, on the subject of a central bank. Mr. Fowler writes that he is opposed to the establishment of a central bank under existing conditions because with it would come most discouraging and dishheartening favoritism and the ultimate destruction of our purely individual and independent form of banking. The letter follows: "Just before you started for Europe in August it was stated in the press that as a result of a meeting of the monetary commission, of which you are chairman, a central bank was to be advocated by your commission and upon your return from Europe you would proceed with a view of instructing the people upon our financial and currency needs and recommend as a 'cure all' a central bank. "After your departure there was an evidently inspired and well-organized propaganda in favor of a central bank, conceived and carried on for the purpose of preparing the way for your home-coming and your arrangements to swing around the circle and initiate the people of the United States into the mysteries of your central bank plan. Challenge to a Debate. "Inasmuch as I am convinced that the one thing above all others that this country does not want is a central bank, because it will not effect or accomplish the necessary reforms, but in the end will make a bad condition immeasurably worse; therefore, in order that the American people (who, I know will decide this most important question now pending before them for consideration and determination right, as they did that of the gold standard, if only they be given an opportunity of having both sides of its fully presented and discussed) may be informed as early as possible, I now challenge you to a joint debate upon the following propositions: "First, a central bank will not effect or accomplish the necessary reform of our finances and currency, is unsuited to our conditions, will accentuate many of our present evils, and will precipitate and develop other evils of a most serious nature. "Second, our financial and currency problems must be solved upon economic lines of an entirely different character. "I assert you can not successfully and beneficially superimpose a monarchical form of banking upon nearly 25,000 individual, independent, free banking institutions which have grown and developed in harmony with the principles of our republican form of government and are themselves republican in form and character. Un-American. He Says. "To establish a central bank in this country under existing conditions would be undemocratic, unrepublican and un-American and inimical to the general welfare of the people because with a central bank will come a most discouraging and disheartening favoritism, the gradual breaking down and ultimate destruction of our purely individual and independent form of banking. "I will meet you in joint debate upon the above propositions at one or more of our leading cities up to 100 or more of them, if you choose, at such times and upon such conditions or terms as may be agreed upon between us here-after." RAINED TWO INCHES AN HOUR Over Two Feet Manila, Oct. 26.—Some storm records were broken in the recent typhoon which crossed northern Luzon and the Benguet mountains. Eighteen inches of rain fell in nine hours, and 26 inches fell in the 24 hours the storm lasted. The Bued river rose 60 feet.

"And would you believe it, Mary?—not a one stood up." "George," his wife said, "why didn't you stand up?" "Well," he replied, "I was going to, but I knew I looked like hell in a silk hat." Last year New York city spent $33,000,000 on its public schools; Chicago, $23,000,000; Boston more than $10,000,000; Philadelphia a little more than $5,000,000.

Story of How He Acted When Negotiating the Deal About Dr. Cook's Climbing Mount McKinley—Affidavits Secured From C. G. Bridgford and Others. Missoula, Mont., Oct. 24.—An affidavit contradicting the assertions of Edward N. Barrill in his affidavit declaring that Dr. Cook did not reach the summit of Mount McKinley was secured by the attorneys representing Dr. F. A. Cook in this city from C. G. Bridgford, until recently a partner with Barrill in the real estate business in Hamilton, Mont Other affidavits contradicting statements made by Barrill and declaring that the latter made contradictory statements before he made his affidavit were also secured by the attorneys, but have not yet been made public. Bridgford will leave here Monday for New York, where he will appear as a witness in support of the sworn statement he has made. His affidavit recites: "I have known Edward N. Barrill of Darby, Ravalli county, Mont., for about 10 or 12 years. During that time I have had business relations with Mr. Barrill. We have been in the real estate business together. We had offices in the city of Hamilton, Mont, and our business relations continued until he went to Seattle, about the last of September, 1909; during the time I have known Mr. Barrill we have been intimate acquaintances, having had more or less business transactions and associations together. During this time I have always found Mr. Barrill an upright citizen and a man of integrity. Our relations at this time are friendly, although we have dissolved our partnership. We never theless bear to one another the closest relations of friendship. Negotiations for Statement. "The first time I heard Mr. Barrill say anything relating to Dr. Cook's ascent of Mount McKinley was in September of this year. This was about the time of receiving the news of the discovery of the north pole. He and I started out in an automobile up in the south end of Hamilton. I stopped at the Ravalli hotel to see a gentleman. When I came out he and Mr. Nichols were talking. This Mr. Nichols is from Chicago and is connected with the Bitter Root Valley Irrigation company. They still talked while I was there and Mr. Barrill said to Mr. Nichols: 'I will see you this evening.' Mr. Barrill told me that afternoon that Mr. Nichols wanted him to come to his office in Hamilton and make a statement to him regarding Dr. Cook's ascent of Mount McKinley. "Mr. Barrill said that he did not intend to go. He said that this meant money to him. The next evening he met Mr. Nichols at the Hamilton bar and Mr. Nichols asked Mr. Barrill why he did not come to his office the evening before. Mr. Barrill said he didn't have time; that he was too busy; he could not go. Mr. Barrill told me that Mr. Nichols told him if he would come there and make a statement with reference to Dr. Cook reaching the summit of Mount McKinley he would give him a bond that he would get his money. Means $5,000 to $10,000. "Then the next communication I had with Mr. Barrill was the evening before he started for Seattle. He had told me a time or two before about getting a telegram from a man by the name of Miller. I think Mr. Miller is a photographer in Seattle. I went to him that evening and told him we had some men to take out to look at some land the next morning. He said to me: 'I can not go; that party Miller from Seattle is at Missoula and I am to meet him there tonight. This means from $5,000 to $10,000 to me.' "That was the last I saw of Mr. Barrill until he came back from Seattle, which was on Thursday, October 7, 1909. He came up from Missoula and he went on up home to Darby that night. Mr. Barrill came from Seattle and before going to New York left the impression with me that he was going as a friend of Dr. Cook. Mr. Barrill stated that he was there at Mount McKinley when Dr. Cook made the ascent of Mount McKinley. Mr. Barrill showed me pictures in a book and said the pictures had been taken on the trip up Mount McKinley. He also showed me a picture of the place where they were cutting the steps on Mount McKinley. He then showed me where Dr. Cook froze his toes, showed me the packhorses crossing the water and also showed me right where the blaze of ice was on the mountain. "Now, from what Mr. Barrill stated, I judged that Dr. Cook and he had reached the top of Mount McKinley. I judged as much from what other men told me as from what Mr. Barrill told me. Mr. Printz told me that when Dr. Cook and Mr. Barrill returned from their trip and rejoined him that Barrill said: 'I introduce to you the man who went to the top of Mount McKinley—Dr. Cook; congratulate the doctor.' "C. G. BRIDGFORD." F. L. Bagby, a local newspaper man, today furnished an affidavit to a confidential representative of Dr. Cook which is reported to be derogatory to Edward N. Barrill and refutes in every particular the statement recently sworn to in Taecoma by Barrill in which the mountain guide denies that he accompanied Dr. Cook to the summit of Mount McKinley or that the doctor made the ascent in 1906. Bagby recently interview Barrill in Hamilton and secured statements from him that are diametrically opposite to the statement sworn to in Taecoma. LATE MINING NEWS.

From the way estimates of the required amount of taxes are coming in to the auditor of Whitman county from municipalities and school districts in the county, it is evident that the operation of the new revenue law, passed by the last legislature, will be a source of surprise to taxpayers when tax paying time comes. Firing with a 32-calibre automatic revolver from behind the bar after being made the target for a rifle bullet fired by the leader of the gang of three hold-up men, Saturday night, at 11 o'clock, James Wilson, one of the proprietors of the Dougherty and Wilcox saloon, at Newport, brought down the bandit leader, a man giving name of Heckworth, with a family, who lies close to death in the Newport hotel.
