THE ANGLO-SAxON MUST RULE.

The world has rung for months past
with the assertion that the Anglo-SaXOn
race holds the destiny of mankind in its
grasp. 1t has been pointed out that it
alone is capable of maintaing the union
of law and liberty.
In truth, it is the only race that has
ever been able to govern itself success
fully. 1t is the only race that has been
able to govern others without resorting
to fearful measures of blood and repres-
sion. Its rule has thus far never left
people worse than it found them.
The Anglo-Saxons of the United States
have recently fought a war for the sake
of giving other peoples chance to live
according to Anglo-Saxon ideals. In pur-
suance of this policy the power of Spain
has been annihilated. We are setting
up, and propose to set up, in another
country, peopled by another race who
speak different language, govern
ment fashioned after AngloSaXon
models. We have served notice on the
inhabitants that we will do this peace
ably if permitted, forcibly if necessary
Inc Anglo-SaXon has announced his in
tention of ruling temporarily in Cuba,
and permanently if need be.
In the east we have driven out the
Spaniard and run the risk of collision
with Germany in order to maintain the
dominance Of the Anglo-Saxon in the
philippines. There also, the vast ma
jority, apparently, of the American peo-
pie are demanding that the white men
of america shall take charge. We have
small interests there, apart from those
won by force of arms. There is simply
a recognition of the fact that, i'll the
interest of all. the Anglo-SaX0n must
rule Nobody has asserted tat we are
making war upon the people of Cuba "
the people Of the Philippines because we
propose to maintain our rule there.
If then the Anglo-SaxOn may rule an
alien people where his interests, apart
from the interests of liberty and enlight-
eminent, are small, and the civilized
world does not question the justice or pro-
priety of it, shall few vote hucksters
and Anglo Saxon traitors in North Caro-
lima accuse the Anglo-SaXon race of
making war upon the negro because the
Anglo Saxon proposes to rule in his own
home? The Anglo-Saxon race in North
Carolina owns more than nine-tenths of
all the property, pays more than nine
tenths of all the taxes, possesses more
than ninety-nine one hundredths of the
enlightenment, morality, ability and
character that are to be found within
! the borders of the State. When negro
| rule has been followed everywhere 10y
| scandal. debauchery, disorder, crime and
outrage is the white man making war
on the negro because he declines to sub
! nit longer to his domination? Can the
Anglo Saxon fight battles abroad that he
may exercise a beneficent rule over Il
people not fitted to govern themselves
and then be denied the privilege of rul'
| ing in his own home?
| Let the traitor and the pie-eater rant
| and rave. The white man must rule
| in North Carolina. The white people OF
| the East who are suffering most sorely
| from the incubus of negro rule expect
and have right to expect, that the PEG
pie of the West, who are somewhat more
! fortunate, will come to their rescue
| There is no part of the State that has
not suffered and is not suffering from
! the elevation OF ignorance, vice and III
competence. The suffering can but be
come more acute the longer this unna
| tural and abominable condition is al
lowed to exist.
The voice of the nation has spoken out
in favor of Anglo-SaXon supremacy
The world has not dared TO question it
The voice of Democracy in North Caro-
lima has spoken out for Anglo-SaXon su
premacy. None has questioned the ne
cessity of it save those who get gain b!
betraying their race and prostituting it
sovereignty to a race as unfit to govern
as the inhabitants of Cuba or the Philip
pines. The record speaks in North Caro-
lima, and it bears out the assertion.
Elsewhere appears an article sent t
his paper by Mr.. Kerr, of the Asheyil
Citizen, who came east to see whethe
negro rule is as black as it has bee
painted. Mr.. Kerr speaks for himself
His observations at Rocky Mount wi
pale beside what he will encounter i
) other counties of Eastern North Care
lima. The News and Observer has tim
and again exposed the degradatio
which the elevation Of the negro ha
