THEIR oxIs GoRED NOW.

| THEIS OK is GORED NOW.
1t does make some difference, after all,
whose OK it is that is gored. For two
| decades our Republican brothers, il and
out of their press. in and out of their
conventions, have been berating the
Democratic South and belaboring the
Democrat of the North for the submerg-
ence of the negro vote in the South
With fine frenzy they have set their
eyes on star, Hans Breitmdnn'S ''him-
melStrahlende stern, vot sits on der
mountains Prov" and. ignoring facts,
refusing to recognize conditions, turn
ing their backs on the ineradicable dis
| tinction between the Aryan and Semitic
races and the impossibility of their Co
existence on terms of equality when i'll
contact, have demanded for the negro
the right to rule where he was in the
| majority. Even after the public ear has
been duiied by their yOclferations and
their cries fall OH needless ears. they
keep up their senselesS and unavailing
howlings.
Again, they have professed the deep
est sympathy with the wage earnerS.
tive products. but they went as far as
they dared without offending their mas
ters and enacted law prohibiting the
coming to this country OF men or women
under contract to go to work after they
reached here. And then they have
winked at violations Of the law, and no
strike has taken place that labor has
not been imported under contract if
needed to break the strike.
Now, however. they are singing quite
different tune. 1t is another OK that
is gored. The Aryan is struggling for
the mastery over the children of Ham in
the Sandwich islands. 1t is the old
story of the South over again-Ameri-
cans, Europeans. men of the old Anglo
Saxon blood brought in contact with a
race inferior in every way and only
numerically superior. And it is the
same old result, the unceasing efforts in
which all means are justified by the end
SOught-of the Aryan to dominate and
direct. 1t is the same struggle III which
the Indian has been driven farther and
farther back by the whites, and to which
there never has been and never will be
but one outcome-the triumph of the
Aryan.
But our Republican friends. who be-
moan the fate of the negro in the South,
and denounce in bitterness the men of
the race which must dominate, justify
the ArYans who in the South Sea islands
are but doing what the men of the same
blood have done in the South, insisting
on their right TO rule and winning that
right by force or fraud. That is virtue
in Hawaii which is heinous crime in
Mississippi. They see the Southern
negro through colored glasses which
idealize him, but they look at the Kan
aka with open eyes which see him as
he lS-a Slothful creature of scant NOR
ality and low intelligence, whose ca
pacity to rule is nil and whose right
to rule they deny. They abhor the
articles used IN the South to prevent
the negro vote, but they have no word
of reproof for the devices adopted by
the whites in Hawaii to overcome and
neutraliZe the native vote. Property
and intellectual qualifications are wrong
i'll Mississippi and right in Hawaii. The
citizen in Georgia should be secured the
right to vote. but the foreigner in Hawaii
may negative the vote of the native with
approval.
1t is wrong for employers in this coun-
try to bring men of our own race here
to labor for them, but it is right for
Americans in Hawaii to use the govern
ment there to make treaties with China
and Japan for the importation under
contracts which make the condition of
the coolie a virtual slavery, to labor
on their sugar plantations. Not only
that, but it is right there for these
Americans to provide that for every
hundred males thus imported there
Shall also be brought twenty-five wom-
ell, recruited from the prostitutes of
either nation. to help the missionaries
in their difficult task of teaching
Hawaiians chastity. They would annex
to this country all these peoples, with all
these debased and debasing conditions,
because it is the selfish interest of the
dominating race that such conditions
should exist. What a parody it all is
Oil the protestations of our Republican
fellows OF regard for the poor negro and
the poor worbingman. And what an
exposure of their arrant hypocrisy it all
