SELLING LIQUOR TO INDIANS. It Is an old story but it is a live! one. Pendleton sees it every day. The law prohibiting the sale of liquor bit of moAeat 10 an inoian is a good one, and there Is very little sympathy for the man "who does it and gets in the meshes TifllloQ mid 'he some changes made. The average tnen of the ear, his Qf tinan who will sell liquor to an Indian whlch was differeut 5n is not better nor worse than the from tnese The East Oregonian e.x Indian to whom he selsl the liquor. Lects t0 see the Waho statesman a Eur the law c,i,y cuts one way. .t ,,, 0 ., and that day is not as far off as ODe .It only punishes one criminal. One criminal violates the law by selling liquor to anotner, when the latter is about as anxious to buy as the former is to sell. The first criminal gets the money and the second gets his liquor. The man who gets the liquor is a red man and the man who gets the money is a whUe man, but they are both subjects of Uncle Sam, and . as one has no superior rights over the other. But the man who gets the liquor usually gets drunk, and then he gets sick, and then he tells who sold him the liquor, and then the seller is punished. That is proper. The man who sells an Indian liquor while it is a viola tion of the law to do so ought to be told on, and he ought to be punished. No complaint here. But how about woull think at first blush. The hun dreds of thousands are coming this way from the East and Idaho will get her share, and it will" be a big one, too. city in tho world. The colored popu lation of the city is fully ropresenta titve of the best that has been done by the race for the race Bince emanci pation. The promoter of the conven tion is himself an Atlanta negro who won aivjcethlng more than a local re pute by his management of c negro r 1 mi aunt of tho Ooon Sti'i. position held there in 1S95. In pro viding for the convention he has been assisted by -10 different denomi nations and associations of one kind or another. While the object of tho meeting is mainly to discuss the conditions and prospects of the negro in America, and to devise a plan of action for pro moting the welfare of the race, the time is not to be given wholly to I talk, lt is the intention of the pro- moters to make a notable feature of I music. A chorus of 1000 voices is! being trained for the purpose by the j musical director of Tuskegee Insti-. tute, and it is the intention to render! not only classical music, but some of the better old-time plantation melo dies. America is so much a land of con ventions that the proposed gathering of the negro representatives in At lanta would in Itself hardly attract much attention. Its interest lies in the fact that has such an important and such a complex problem to deal with. To the white race what is known as the "negro problem" is but a theme for academic discussion, but to the negro himself it is a matter of j vital importance. The speeches at Atlanta are going to be earnest, and, while it is not probable any definite, solution of the complex problems in-1 volved in the relations of the two, races will be forthcoming, it is cer- tain the resolutions which express, the opinions of so large a body of rep resentative colored men will be read with attention and given due heed by thoughtful men throughout the Union.

It is neck and neck with the Ore-' gonian and the Oregon Daily Journal! to which is quoted oftenest tj ------ uvmv... UlC gon Daily Journal," is seen about as often, if not ot'tener than the credit, "From the Oregonian." The evening paper has taken its place in the front rank with rapid strides. the Indian? He Is not altogether fool. He was sly in getting his liquor, He knew he was violating the law. But when he gets sober he gets to be a good Indian to the government and goes and tells on the man who sold him the liquor. He gets wit ness fees, too. Is not the man who gets whisky contrary to law, know ingly, gets drunk on it, and then in forms on the man from whom he got it about as mean as the man who sold It to him? Is not the fact that Tie and his friends get fees also, an Incentive to get some one to buy him more liquor to get drunk on? The object of the law it, to deal out Justice. Is it exactly justice for two men to violate the law together and only one of them to be punished? "Would it not be a good idea to make it a violation of the law for an Indian to b-y liquor the same as it is to sell "him liquor? Would not that deter Wei to some extent from buying, and would not that decrease the violations of law in such cases? It is claimed by those familiar with the subject that It would. Do not repeal the law for prohibiting the sale of liquor to Indians, but add a clause that makes his punishment the same as the other fellow. But he would not give away the fellow i7ho sold it to him, is suggest ed. If yon catch him drunk and Bend him up for it under tie law made for the purpose ho would generally tell where he got It. At least a few sen tences of that kind would lessen the number of "consumers." This was the argument advanced ' by a .government official yesterday who is posted on the violations of tho law of this character. News gets distorted often as it travelB. A leading New York paper has the Tracy-Merrill duel illustrated with each firing a revolver at the other. Neither had a revolver at the time. Roosevelt's action in favoring the Irrigation law will make him popular in the west for all time to come. He aimpjy saw his piuin duty and per ferasd it President Roosevelt has complete ly retired.

A NEGRO CONGRESS. reparations are now being made in Atlanta for a negro congress, which is designed to be the largest and most representative assembly ever held by that class of our population. The estimates are that upward of 10,000 delegates will be preset. It Is of course not likely that such estimates are free from exaggeration, but it is deemed well nigh certain that the number of Influential negroes who attend the meeting will make it an occasion of national importance. Atlanta is a fitting place for such an assembly. It is said to contain more negro churches, negro schools and negro colleges than anv other Laatz Bros.
