the last ballot.

The Washington Post offended North
Carolinians by it's recent course in re-
gard to suffrage in our state. Several
newspapers criticized what was said
and it appears that it's editorial was
written by one of the staff who says:
IF -four years or service in the con-
federate army and twenty years expe-
rience of reconstruction and political
reformation afterward constitute a
claim to intimacy with southern condi-
tons, then The Post has a right to
speak with definition and authority"
We must believe that he makes a
mistake as to conditions as to the gen.
eral character Of what it calls poor
whites" and as to the real value of
the negor as a citizen and an elector.
He writes in a second article:
W. repeat, therefore, that in our
opinion the average negro is a better
citizen, a more conservative force in
politics, than the poor white We re-
new the declaration that, if the choice
were necessary, we should rather have
the destinies of the southern states
confided to the unbiased action of the
negro yeomanry than to the control Of
the illiterate whites"
We do not believe that there is an
educated white man Of character in the
south who will indorse hat.

There is known to have been in the
past a school book scandal" The
Raleigh News and Observer says:
I'm the Legislature of North Caro-
lima Of 1895 and 1897 the scandal be-
came dis yusting, and the scandals in
the various counties that followed the
change in the legislation sickened every
friend of public education in the state.
There is now in Raleigh a most power
full school lobby, and the list of attor-
neys of the various book companies
make a list of many members of the
bar.
How can the school book companies
afford to employ the ablest lawyers in
the state to devote weeks to urging
their claims? The answer is plain. The
profits on school books is enormous.
There is no other explanation Of it,"
The greatest scandal we have known
in the last thirty years in connection
with the public schools, was the indie
feasible conduct of those in charge in
allowing lying, hateful Northern
school histories to be taught all owe
North Carolina-taught to the children
and grandchildren of the brave men
who wore the gray, and thousands Of
whom offered up their lives upon the
bloody battlefelds for freedom and in
dependence. The scandals of the past,
however, small or great, should not be
repeated in the future. The school
book question is one tolbe managed
fairly and discreetely by thoroughly
competent and thoroughly honest men.
