JIM GROW
Legislation
Scored by Chairman of
Peoples Party.
h W. J.icobs chairman of
1 1 io Peoples Party I in mis I ho
Democracy a lemon in an article
iiillisli(!(l recently in the State
.Capital. Among other things
i io following appeared:
"Hut wo do believe tliat all
distinction .should bo ha sod

iu within habits and industry
oi.iko a romedv. and whothor
.white wtt or blank. Wo know
ivereign citizens bore in this
JSito whom nono could by ob-
servation call Negroes. The
.sins of tin' while man bring in
under ibis legislation charaoter.s
more miserable than slavery
ever held. And think of an
educated Negio girl whoso
whilo faro indicates heart and
brain being excluded from a
car in wnich ride an old. stink-
ing; gut eating Apache Indian
and our constitution calU him
vliit.t?.
Republicans who got into
office by reason nf the Negro
vote and then loin in and help
lo pass class legislation are a
blamed sight worse than the
most rabid lire eating democrat
that over hunted "pine rooters"
in Arkansas. There are live
such cusses in the present logis-
aild when they come before the
poople again for election our
boys should scratch iheni I'rom
h I to breakfast.
Negroes of tin.1 new state are
' nmking' strenuous relVorts to
-raise the means to light jin
crowisms. Kvory'' loyal race
man should contrihuto all ho
can to help carry on this battle
that means so much to our
poople in this state.
Tho knockers are not succeed-
ing in getting people to hearken
to their stand against lighting
jim crow.
It is reported that the County
AUoriii y says the houses of ill-
fame must go and and names
several white resoits in the
north part of town and a
number of Negro resorts.
Well there is a. white resort
on South Side boulevard neai
the colored school that should
be included. It is true however
that some people living and
owning property in that viein
ity are too cowardly or have loo
much cupidity and too. little
religion and 'not enough good
citizenship to kick against this
immoral hang out. Officers are
not to blamed for not closing
i tti 1 1 when the' neighbors shield
them bv silence.
(Jrayson and Pentiesville are
are .leeeiviug additions to their
populations daily as are also
Holey and Taft. Tho colored
men of the South have their
eye.s turned toword Oklahoma
and they are coming here and
buying homes. 4
The National Republican Con-
vention will nominate tho next
president of tho United States
and it matters not of the many
candidates who gets tho plum.
Tho principles of the Peoples
Party as enunciated by the
o.ihrman will sect ire voters for
that parly from a class never
thought of before. The future
will have many surprises for
the party that is at present
dominant in Oklahoma.
Tho news items from Porter
and Cowett on the Wagoner
county site tight came in too
late for publication. Our cor-
respondents must get their
matter in by Wednesday of
each week.
The city will huvo the market
square completed within a few
weeks then all farmers will
have a place to market their
produce and South Maui and
South Second Streets will be-
come the .Mecca for farmers.
Jn the Third Congressional
District a con vendition will
soon be "held in which (wo del-
egates will be elected to tho
national .convention. A resi-
dent elector also 'will bo uonii-
nated a.nd possibly a congress-
man. It is time to get busy.

It is best for our county and
