BLAMING THE FOREIGNER.
The Kansas City Journal, in dis
cussing the Colorado, strike situation,
says that the majority of the strik
ing miners are "foreigners who do not
belong to the class which makes the
best citizens and who are easily in
duced to do the bidding of incendiary
agitators.”
That is admittedly true, but are the
foreigners to blame? Who brought
them to this country? Who induced
them to go to Colorado, of which
they had never heard? Who employ
ed them, and why? Who has kept
them in such a state that they fall
easy prey to incendiary agitators?
Don’t blame the "ignorant foreign
er.” Blame the educated American
tvho imports him and keeps him in
virtual servitude after he landsr The
foreigner is doing the best he knows:
he is living up to his light.
A 10-year-old boy near Cushing,
Ok., has an income of $190 a day from
oil struck on his land. And nearby
there is a negro girl 10 years old
who is worth $8,000,000. Oklahoma
has strict Jim Crow laws and a
“Grandfather Clause” in its constitu
tion—but Providence hasn’t. The on
ly thing the Oklahoma white people
can do about it is to appoint guar
dians for these affluent blacks, and
attorneys for the guardians.
Pupils in the Dickerson high school,
Jersey City, went to school front 4:30
in the afternoon to 10 (O’clock at
night on one occasion lately, in or
der that the adult members of their
families might see the school plant
in operation.
A Kansas City minister recently
reminded his congregation that Eve
did not realize she lacked clothing
until she ate the tipple. "And,” he
added, "1 wish a few of the women
of my congregation would eat an
apple.”
The Kansas wheat crop promises
to be the greatest on record and
some of the old Populists are already
complaining that crops of that kind
are mighty hard on the soil.
A Maine town has built a concrete
watering trough for horses that is
flanked by high walls to shield ani
mals using it from sun, wind and
storm.
Possibly the fact that most of Col
orado was once Mexican territory may
explain a good deal.
It is estimated that 75 per cent of
the laws have to do with the nonte
in some way.
China yearly sends $30,000 worth
of peanuts to the United States.
Iowa’s annual poultry and egg out
put is valued at $38,000,000.
HAITIAN TROUBLE
GROWING WORSE
(Continued front page 1.)
The crews of the gunboats promptly
dived overboard and swam ashore.
The payment demanded not being
forthcoming within the time fixed,
the, French vessel took the two Hai
tian gunboats in tow and started with
them for St. Thomas, Danish West
Indies.
Before the French ships and their
tow had gone very far a launch was
sent after them with the amount of
the interest on board. This money
was paid over to the French com
mander and the gunboats were je
leased.
A few weeks ago a Gernian war
ship . imitated the example of the
French vessel In demanding payment
of Interest due to German bondhold
ers. The money was produced with
out defay. Since then the British
government has followed the same
tactics and with the adine success, a
payment of $62,000 in Interest being
made on demand. ' .
The Haitian! government then ap
pealed to thP United States and dip
lomatic negotiations -followed. '
ROPE BREAKS
Stern Winch of S. S Northwestern
Out of Commission and Rope
* Along Deck Breaks.
A passenger on the steamer North
western was seriously if not fatally
injured last night when the boat was
docking. Because of a defect in the
stern winch Captain ’ Hunter was
forced to warp his boat to the dock
using only the forward gear, and in
consequence the long line from the
stern of the boat was strung along
the deck and when it broke under the
heavy strain a passenger from the
westward was caught by the end of
the line, one leg was broken, one arm
was shattered, while an eye was torn
from his head.
Every attention was immediately
given to the injured passenger, who
was treated by a surgeon on the
boat and taken to Seattle if possi
ble, but may be left at Cordova if
his condition is serious. The name
of the injured passenger could not be
learned.
The Northwestern reached Valdez
at 8 o’clock and sailed south at 9,
taking only a few passengers from
here.
