RAISING THE STANDARD.

Mississippi has entered upon a
test of the virtue of an elevation of
the franchise. The new constitution
of that State disqualifies from voting
those who are unable to read and
write, and makes the franchise further
conditional on the payment of a
stiff poll tax. There are 67,2O5
colored men and 110,1O0 white men
over II years of age in Mississippi,
all of whom under the old condi-
tions would be entitled to vote. All
who have registered and thus quail
| fed themselves to vote this year are
1912 men of both races, but now
the majority is on the white side
69,127 white to 9615 colored voters.
1t is provided, as softening element,
that until 1896 an illiterate citizen
may vote if he is able to explain a
portion of the Constitution when
read to him. The fact that of 5000
or 1000 voters admitted under this
provision about half the number are
colored men is taken as showing that
it was not intended to discriminate
against colored men. According to
the census about 100000 white and
$1,000 colored men can read and
write. The large proportion of these
who failed to register would indicate
the existence of considerable ele-
ment in both races who either are
too poor to pay the poll tax or do
not value the voting privilege enough
to incur the expense and trouble of
registration. The Review of Reviews
says: "We are inclined to think that
the State of Mississippi and both
races are to be congratulated. The
colored race, though numerically
possessed of considerable majority
is not morally entitled to rule il
Mississippi, because as yet it posses
ses very small minority of the mel
who have the intelligence and capa
city to rule properly" The Review
J also points out another result to b'
anticipated, which, if realized ant
the plan should be adopted general
ly in the Southern States, nigh
revolutionize the politics of the en-
tire nation, as there would be an enc
to the "solid South" 1t says, ga
for he white race, this plan will hav
relieved them from the fear of ignor
ant negro domination that they hav'
felt, so that they can now affort
themselves the unwonted luxury o
disagreeing, and entering into differ
, ent party organizations"

welcome to closely investigate its
circulation. The statement here re-
ferred to, however, is lie No. q 1t
was ascertained by the experts ac-
cording to the Advertiser, that the
BuLLET1N's circulation was less than |
GOO. This is lie No. and it is en-
phasized by being printed in small
capitals. The circulation OF the
BULLETIN reached point over 600 in
the year 1886, and it has never gone
back near that figure since. On the
contrary it went on increasing until
it more than doubled that figure.
More than year ago an extra clerk
was engaged to revise the Honolulu
delivery route lists, and on his re-
port several hundred names were
struck off. They were chiefly those
of persons in the floating population
who had changed their lodgings,
and although Others kept picking
up the papers nobody ,ould admit
the responsibility of paying for
them. Yet no sooner were the pa
pers cut off than a steady run of
new subscribers ensued, lasting for
many weeks, which showed that peo-
pie could not do without the BULLE-
TIN and, however ready to read it at
others expense, must pay for it
rather than not read it. 1t has in
deed been a matter of surprise how
the circulation of this paper has
scarcely felt the departure of large
numbers of its former readers for for
eign parts While the circulation of
the BULLETIN has more than held the
lead over any rival in the city, it has
continued to have steady increase
on the other islands, where it will
shortly overtake, if it has not already
overtaken, the largest circulated
weekly paper. Again any business
man is invited to full examination
Vi Uue clTCuldllOu VI lue DULLEllN.
He would find that the Honolulu
carriers alone deliver hundreds of
papers above the figure the Adver-
tiser maliciously and with colossal
impudence stated as this papers
total circulation. Also, that it takes
three-fourths of the mail clerks
time every day to attend to the
country circulation. No amount o.
squirming will clear the Advertiser
of having perpetrated against thi:
paper a malicious, mercenary anC
mendacious libel. A concern thai
has to bolster itself up on such dis
reputable means must feel itself tc
be in desperate circumstances. W.
again brand the author of the table
of circulations in Saturdays Adver
tiser as cowardly liar and challeng'
him to disprove the imputation.

THE GAZETTED LIAR.

Yesterday morning the Advertiser
tried to brace up its previous false
hood about the BULlarIN's circula-
tion by another bold fabrication
comprising not one but several lies.

changed owners "a few months ago."
which is lie Mol. This is the third
year in which the BULLETIN has been
under its present ownership. The
Advertiser, further, refers to a com
mittee of experts who investigated
the circulation of the BULLETIN.
Nothing of the kind is known in the
records of the concern, although
doubtless the representatives of the
buyers in 1890 ascertained the circu-
lation. This paper has always been
printed in sight of the public, and
business men have always been made

We know that newspaper quarrels
are generally distasteful to news
paper readers. Having therefore
elsewhere once for all replied to the
Advertiser on the matter of circula-
ton, we promise to trouble our read
ers no more on the question, con
tenting ourselves now with the reply
in advance to anything further from
the Advertiser, that we are prepared
to prove to all-comers the utter
falsity of that papers assertions OF
similar tenor to those already an
swered. Our only excuse, which we
consider sufficient, for having noticed
the Hawaiian Gazette Co.'s libel at
all is that it was despicable attempt
to destroy this papers holiday adver-
tising business, of which that con
cern is evidently bitterly jealous.

on the question, and no matter from
