A PRECEDENT AND AN EXAMPLE.

PREOEOENT AND AN EXAMPLE,.
The attack made upon Mr.. Wood
ward, Of Warsaw, while on a bust
ness trip in Washington, N. c., an
account of which was given in our
last issue, and which has caused
much press comment throughout the
State, carries with it lesson in the
dangers of mob law. which every
law-abiding citizen of North Caro-
lima should in the future exert his
influence to avoid. We presume, of
course, our readers are familiar with
the details of the case-of the attack
made upon Mr.. Woodward, who was
identified by,a lady Of Washington
as having offered her an insult for
which the real culprit should have
suffered . lawful punishment, and of
Mr.. Woodward's later proof Of his
innocence. Now suppose the insult
which was offered had been of a
graver naturs-the sort for which the
perpetrators are so summarily dealt
with Mr.. Woodward would not have
lived to prove his innocence, and not
only would he have suffered death
but the stigma would have rested
upon his children and his children's
children.
There is another phase of this case
which has not been touched on in
the many comments which we have
seen upon it, and which Is, that prior
to the mob law which reigned in the
last campaign, such an attack as this
had never happened in North Caro-
Dina, and would not now have hap.

by the machine Democrats of the
State, who laughed at, winked at
and urged on q spirit of lawlessness
which has no parallel among law.

of mob rule, An invitation to out.

zens Of Washington no doubt fell

Of the " most eminently respectable

influences of that last campaign will

State, like poison in q system, until
the passing of . generation shall
have e6aced it.

rEos.gE ssIyE STEP.

San Franc SEQ has set an example
in its plan of city government which
all the other large cities OF the coun
try, money motored and corporation
conducted as they now are. would do
well TO follow. II is ,hs plan Of
iegisIating known az the inis'ive and
ref-rendum-a democracy which has
its faith in the people.
The new ehar:er OF san Francisco.
Of which this plan il the chief feat
uie, goes into effect with the next
city admins ration, and san Fran
cisco will then have The dlstinc elton
of being the OILY city IN the [ MON
which embraces in is plaa OF gov
rrment this democratic idea. Under
it's operation, all matters involving
questions Of public policy must be
| subm tilted to direct vote of the peo-
pie. With such a plan IN operation
it is impossible for corruption TO
exist in the municipality as 1t does IN
those cities governed by 81 qaes who
have the power 10 confer tavoritism
and give away, for value received"
the valuable franchises Of the people.
This plan was bitterly fought by
the corporations and ward politicians
of San Francisco, but, notwithstand-
ing, i. was adopted By a large ma
jori,y. the people of that city having
become thoroughly Indignant over
the evils which resulted from cor
poration rule. 1t will now follow as
one of the cool results of putting
into operation this demo cratic prin-
ciple that the people themselves will,
in the near future, take charge of
all the public utilities of the city to
be run by the city in the interest of
: all instead as heretofore allowing a
few to control them and practice ex-
tortion for private gain.
The principles of the initiative
and referendum, or direct legislation,
as it is generally known, is distinctly
a Peoples Party principle. And,
like the monetary reform, income tax,
: and public ownership planks of the
Peoples Party platform, is rapidly
gaining popular favor. Not only is
it g. wise principle for municipa
adoption, but states would do wisely
= to incorporate it in their plans Of
government. None who believe il
the right CT the people TO rule ear
4 or Jet to it in fact, all who bear thu
name Democrat appropriately should
strive for it.
If such system had been in ope1
. alton in North Carolina much of tn,
corporation rule to which the Stat
has had to submit would have beef
negatlved By the people. For in

The Jim Crow car is becoming so
unpopular that the negro calamity
howlers are now trying to place the
responsibility for its unpopularity
upon the railroad companies. They
say that the white people should be
given larger share Of the coach );
and the companies in separating the
cars as they have, have done so with
the deliberate purpose of making
the car unpopular. 1t will be re-
membered that the details of this
Jim Crow Car business was left with
the Corporation Commission, and
when this Commission fixed the date
for the law tc 60 into operation it
ordered that the Railroad Companies
should "equal but seperate accomo.
dations y for the white and celored
races. The CAUCASIAN at the time
commented on this order and said
that it more nearly approached race
eq,slity than any thing We had yet
seon. But it now seems that these
separate and equal car accommo da
tons are more conducive to the com
fort of the blacks than the whites fol
the reason that there are so few
negroes who travel that there is al
way plenty of space in their compart
ment whereas the white compart
ment is nearly always filled. But tn
railroads are not responsible TO
this they are lmpsly following tn
order of the Corporation Commission
And if they are in a conspiracy
make the car unpopular, the Corpors
ton Commission is in league wit
them.

TIE CAUCASIAN i'm it, last Issue
commented at some length upon
Sir. Havemeyer's now famous dec
laration that protection is the cause
OF all trusts and called attention
to the fact that Mr.. Havemeyer
went before the Industrial Com
mission with this part of his testi-
mony typawritten, thus showing
that ii was carefully prepared with
| a purpose in view. THE CAUCASIAN
stated then that this purpose was
| to revive the tariff as an issue in
the campaign of 1900, and later de-
velopments are proving the correct
ness of this conclusion. Mr.. Have
meyers declaration was no sooner
made than the Democratic com
mittee at Washington began the
preparation OF material for a cam
paign book charging upon the ne
cessity OF revising the tariff. Now

fight under cover Of which they
had up to 1896 distracted attention
from the money question, the rail.
road question, and other vital ques.
lions Of internal welfare. And no.
thing Will rejoice them more than
to see the tariff revived, not only
because they get what they want
out Of tariff whether it be Demo.
, cratic or Republican, but what is
really more to their interest is that
