THE RACE QUESTION AGAIN. Any close oliserver of current events has peen the race question pushed forward as an issue more ana more prominently, and has noted that this is done by a certain class of men of the demagogue type, who can therein win votes from ignorant and prejudiced white men. Unfortunately there are a good roanv people in this world who are flattered hv being told that they are above somebody, and this precious lot of orators is working the supremacy of the white man for all it is worth. It may suit Tillman to talk about nuttinc the "nisreer's face in the sand," or Vardaruan to declare that BooKer ashmgton is more fit to vote than a bootblack, or Hefm to pronounce death by dynamite a suitable punishment for sitting down at the same table with a negro, but anybody who knows the better type of white people in the South knows that they are abused and vilified by these very demagogues for treating negroes with a decent amount of justice and humanity. It was so before the war, and it is so now. It is strange that any one should not be able to see that continual emphasis of the color line will bring about the very evils which are held up as bugbears. A negro who is made to feel that he will never be considered a man because he cannot marry a white woman er obtain social equality, is going to seek those things. An octoroon subjected to a thousand disadvan tages because of color will pass as a white man if he can. More than all this, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and no State can afford to weaken any class of its population, in any way. It is about time for decent Southerners to rise up and repudiate the doctrine that to be a leader of thought one must be consumed with race prejudice. he was a strong man, some time ago, and immediately jumped to the conclusion that he was a ter rible soldier, a military despot. who cr.lv waited the slenderest opportunity to embroil us with a the South American States and most of Kurope. How this was to be done they did not .exactly ex plain, but they evidently thought the world to be situated on a sort of volcano of warlike feeling readv to burst out, wherever there was a crack in the crust. As a matter of act, it would be hard to drag any of the huroiiean countries into war; the business is too expensive; ami it ought to be expensive. To make war a cheap luxury as it was in medieval times would lie lar more desirable. But it now becomes apparent that the whole world is anxious for peace, and that they are looking to this ,(ter rible war lord" to help them net it It is hard on the Democrats. All their documents and cartoons and things arranged on the basis that the President is a sort of military monstrosity ough to be labeled "Look and See the Wild Man from Oyster Bay He Eats Vm Alive!" And here come representatives of all the civilized nations addressing him as the Strong Man of Peace. who can help them as no one eke can.

It is about time that the plain people had their :-ay; the farmers, machanics, railroad men, store keepers, sailors, teamsters and general workers all along the line of American industrial life. These men are tired of the cease less adulation given to the fortun ate few; tired of the teglect in which the fortunate many are left. The fortunate few are the accum ulators of vast wealth and cor responding houses, lands and the appearance of ease. The fortunate many are the workers who live in comfort, but do not have race horses, yachts or automobiles to kill time, yet these last named fortunate men want to be heard in the councils of the nation. Thev are determined to have a President who respects and cares for the plain people, one who has declared and who has Jived up to the dec laration that "each man, no mat TER WHAT HIS OCCUPATION, HIS KACE OR HIS RELIGIOUS BELIEF, IS EN TITLED TO BE TREATED ON HIS WORTH AS A MAN, IN ANY AND ALL PLACES, UNDER ANY AND ALL, tttNSIDER ATIONS." That is the kind of democracy which is real not a name merely. It is the democracy of the first citizens of the United States, a man born into the Republican party, a constant Republican all his life and one who put to shame the injustice and inhumanity of ol the party which calls itself "Democratic." This man of com mon sense, justice and Christian brotherhood is Theodore Roose velt, our President now, and our President to be until 1908. The plain people will have a cnance to speak out loudly early next .November. And they will give no uncertain sound when their day comce. They will elect their man by such majority as will astonish the world. The Madras Pioneer in its last issue takes The Jeurnal to task for an article in this paper a week ago in which it was stated that ar rangements had been completed for the erection of a flour mill at Madras by the Wasco Milling company. The Journal was mis taken in the name of the parties back of the concern. That was all. and Mr. Brownhill will not deny that a mill is going to be built in the Willow creek basin by certain business men, because his name is signed as a witness to the papers conveying the property to the company for that purpose. ive industries. And when it U conies apparent that S. . " - tnnriii thall prevail, the "iwllhindern, the rammers ami ghoul who trade in human flesh both dead and live, will be seen flocking to the Socialist camp, like ami t..r ti, same purpose that biuiards flock to a carrion in expectation of fill ing their dirty nmws.

It is true that the V promulgated the principle of Im- eralive Mandate, but they died n the vortex of democracy and the Socialists hope to rear it as their adopted child.

Tap whosoever you may and you will find he is imbued with one or more socialistic ideas. If we could have an immediate election, giving the moneycrats not time to get in their fine work with their monev. bnvin th - ' . o mercenary voting donkies, we believe the policy of the govern ment ownership of railroads would i ... can Dy an overwhelming ma jority. For several years the stock raisers, meat producers of the west, have been advocating and have built and are building their own packing houses. When they get their plants in operation they will then find out that they are at the mercy of the transportation com panies, the same as the. famous "Farmers' Alliance" people were some years ago. They built their granaries and elevators along the railroads, at harvest time thev filled them to repletion, chartered cars to move their grain to mar ket at so much a car. The rail road people put about one sixth of j load in each car, locked the doors, declaring them loaded. thereby cheating, stealing, if you please, the freight price of the other five pixtha of the produce. 1 he railroad people are sure to devise some scheme by which thev will drive the packing house people to the wall, force them to sel their plants to "the trust." and there you are in a more helpless condition than vou were before you built your houses and placed your plants The only relief they can obtain is in the control of the railroads now to attain that control is the query. To acquire control I sug gest the building of parallel lines. by which the private roads will be put out of business and forced to sell to the people, the government, or let their road rust and decav. 'Oh!" it is cried, "the peonle can't build railroads." Why not? Haven't the people, through their mis-representatives they have here tofore sent to congress, voted sub sidies and the land grants to cor- porations sufficient to build and equip all the roads in the United HALLOWEEN FAIR and FESTIVAL Given ly THE LINES ANNEX P.
