The Coal Trust and Be Salamander
HEARSTS CHICAGO AMERICAN
Seven hundred thousand human beings workers in coal mines are
on strike because the owners of the mines will not let them earn
enough to live on
v Let us leave todays situation to return to it later and go back to
the days when nature was storing up the coal for the uncreated race
of men
The carboniferous era during which the coal beds were formed
lasted some six millions of years During these long thousands of cen
turies the pollen dropped gently from the vast forests of fern trees
softly piling layer upon layer of the future coal beds Hideous mon
sters swam in the water or flew through the air The interesting five
toed salamander to whom Darwin attributes the fact that we have five
fingers plowed his way through tthe soft vegetation a hideous crea
ture seeking his hideous prey
The six million years of the coal forming age went by and other
millions of years followed By and by man came on the scene He
screeched and fought and murdered and stole gradually working his
way up toward real civilization always thinking as he foolishly thinks
now that civilization was with him
When certain insects get ready to lay their eggs they capture some
weaker creature kill it or stun it with poison and lay it away with the
eggs that the young may find food at hand when they come to life
Nature planning to put us here stored away the coal for us like a pru
dent insect mother Now we have got far enough along in our onward
march to use coal and we are using it
What a fine sight the using presents to men and angels and future
generations
Thousands of years ago the coal was stored up by a far seeing Prov
idence
Today half a dozen human beings whose ancestors were fishes when
the coal was made proudly say That coal is mine and they torture
their tellows in the exploitation of the coal which was made for all
human kind to use and not for the selfish purposes of a few
Suppose the five toed salamander with his wart covered face had
claimed the falling layers of fern pollen as his property He might
have said for himself at least
I am here watching the coal forming process and I have rights
Yet all nature would have laughed at his foolish claim
No one laughs al the claim of a coal owning monkey of this age
who says tnat the coal whicn was otored away millions of years before
he came on earth is his
I
The coal was stored up for mankind by just and provident Nature
It should be distributed with justice and providence among all the
people
Those who own the coal in reality are the inhabitants of this en
tire nation The men who dig it out the railroad -men who haul it to
market are interested part owners of it The digging and hauling
should be well paid for The brainwork of engineer mine discoverer
or inventor should be oaid for most liberally After such just payments
the coal should be distributed among human beings for whose benefit it
was created at rates as low as possible But today the coal fields
the coal miners the coal haulers the engineers and the consumers are
farmed out for the exploitation of a blood sucking trust
At present the coal fields the men who work them and every human
being heated by the coal exists at the mercy of a few law breaking
financial gamblers who should be breaking stones in state prison instead
of breaking hearts in thousands of homes
What are you Mr Individual Reader going to do to interfere with
thls state of affairs Are you going at least to cast- a vote against it or
are you going to mope albng as dull minded as your esteemed ancestor
the -five-toed salamander

BISHOP TURNER SPEAKS TO HIS
PEOPLE
TO THE AFRO AMERICAN
Denounces Republican Party as a
Wolf Parading- Around In
Sheeps Clothing
Chicago 111 Special Bishop Tur
ner head of the African Methodist
Episcopal church has declared his un
alterable opposition to the re election
William McKinley to the presidency of
the United States and announces his
unswerving support of William J Bry
an for that position He has given out
an address to the Afro American voters
of the country and furnished copies
to the democratic nationaj committee
for distribution His address in which
he shows the fallacy of the statement
that the republican party is the friend
of the negro follows
I am declaring my preference for
William Jennings Bryan for president
because he represents the same broad
principles that Abraham Lincoln es
poused and I believe it will be for he
benefit of my people to vote for him
As Abraham Lincoln was a friend to
the colored race so is William Jen
nings Bryan
All of this silly sentiment of adher
ing to the republican party because of
Lincolns proclamation of emancipa
tion is misapplied The republican party
of Lincoln and the republican party
of Hanna are distinctly things apart
Lincoln is dead but his principles of
personal liberty still live and verily
the mantle of Elijah never fitted the
shoulders of Elisha as perfectly as Lin
coln s mantle fits the broad shoulders
of Bryan
WAS FRIEND OF PEOPLE
Lincoln never harbored a trust He
ever believed in governing without
the consent of the governed He never
believed in grinding down the rights
and privileges of the common people
He never failed to accord honor where
honor was due Now how can any one
reconcile the party principles of Lin
coln with the party principles of Hanna
and Roosevelt
In its treatment of the colored man
the republican party has always mas
queraded as a wolf in sheeps clothing
Since the time that party claims to
have freed the slaves its managers have
constantly lied to the colored man
When Lincoln died republican honesty
to the colored race was interred with
his bones and an era of republican
moral degeneracy began We are told
that we were emancipated for human
itys sake Tes and I believe Cuba
Porto Rico and the Philippine islands
were freed from the same incentive
Oh humanity what crimes are com
mitted in thy name
The republicans have lied to us
about our freedom and ouc citizenship
Our freedom was a war necessity and
was dearly bought with colored arms
200000 strong and our citizenship is a
-
-
augurated the journeyman government
system in the south which is not only
a blot upon our national escutcheon
but the secret of all the American col
i ored mans social troubles today They
thrust the unsuspecting negros hands
into the fire to snatch out their chest
nuts
NO MORTGAGE ON VOTE
Contrary to the emotional idea tha
the republican party has an unlimited
mortgage on the suffrages of the col
ored man I say that the organization
should be everlastingly grateful to the
colored man The republican party is
the child of that race Through Lin
colns honest championship of the en
slaved people that party was born
Through the colored mans gratitude
It was bred The black man behind the
gun turned the tide of the rebellion
thus insuring the power of the party
The black man was used as a political
tool in the south during the carpet
bag regime and temporarily sacrificed
his social safety For thirty three
years he has delivered his vote to the
republican party like a poor man gives
his pound of flesh to the shylock
Now we have the spectacle of a tin
soldier a flashlight hero whose pen Is
mightier than his sword who con
ceived the idea of a rough rider regi
ment because he had seen Buffalo Bills
Wild West circus He is saved from
death in Cuba by the colored soldiers
who rush to the rescue of his three
sheet troopers He returns to the states
and poses for emoluments and the cam
era and writes for the magazines of
how he forced the black soldiers to keep
to the front at the piont of his pistol
FOOSEVELTS INSULTS
Blck men on the battlefield have
always been brave In every war our
nation has waged the colored man has
shed his blood willingly
In the war of the revolution Crisp us
Attucks a colored man was the first
to die on Boston common During the
war of 1812 General Andrew Jackson
praised the valor of the men of color
at the battle of New Orleans Fifty
thousand colored men made way for
liberty and died in the civil war The
gallant Ninth cavalry rode 100 miles
through the blinding snow Christmas
eve 1891 and rescued the beleaguered
Seventh from an Indian massacre They
fought and died in Cuba and nursed
the fever stricken soldiers at the risk
of their lives And they are now forced
to fight their own colored people in the
Philippines AH this they have done for
their countrys sake and it is left for
this vitascope character this modern
Don Quixote Roosevelt to accuse my
people of beinsr cowards
CANNOT FORCE THEIR VOTES
If Governor Roosevelt forced the
colored soldier at the point of his pistol
to save his life at San Juan hill he
cannot force the colored voter to save
his political life on election day The
colored man will then have a chance to
say Vengeance is mine I will re
pay
PROMINENT FARMER FOR BRYAN
ColumbusInd Special The repub
lican politiciansv were given a surprise
last night by the announcement that
James Godfrey one of the richest far
mers in Bartholomew county and a
life long local republican leader would
support Bryan In the coming campaign
Mr Godfrey says that as a farmer he
finds it impossible to indorse he Mc
Kinley administration The trusts
have raised the prices of all the sup
plies which the farmer must purchase
and Mr Godfrey believes that the
American citizen will look In vain to the
seek- 1 republican party for relief from the
After he war the republicans
ins to retain themselves in power in- trust evil
