THE ANTITRUST SENTIMENT
GROWING.

The drummers have called meeting
at Chicago with a view to demanding
such legislation by the government ana
by each State as will destroy the illegal
concentration of capital and the curtail-
ment of vast industries, which elimin-
ate competition and destroy our useful
ness" They also propose an organi-
cation of statesmen in each city to enter
politics and support no nominee who will
not stand on an antitrust platform. The
New York Times will probably answer
this by saying that there will be no posi-
biity of making those drummers, who
work for trusts and get bigger salaries,
join in the fight.
The antitrust sentiment is growing
and will be the overshadowing issue in
the next campaign. The people are face
to face with the problem whether they
and their sons will be free and indepen-
dent or wear the collar and be slaves.

The history of the negro outrages III
this country seems to have followed tins
trend First, they were hanged, sec
ond, they were hanged and shot, and,
third. they are burned and mutilated.
This sequence has its causes. In spite
of all the talk on the part of the
Northerner as regards his Southern
neighbor, the negro continues his crime
of rape, and the white man continues
his of lynchings. y
So long as negroes continue to rape
white women there will be lynching and
burning and mutilation. ANY one
ought to be- convinced that lynching will
only stop when rape stops. The South
crn people are not cruel and never were;
they are a kind-hearted people, good to
one another and to all men: they are
kind to dumb brutes. Whatever may be
true or false about them, they were new
or cruel-hearted people; they were KIND
10 the negroes when they were slaves;
they are kind to them now. They are a
Iueople who have borne with much. but
there is one thing that they will not
bear and that is the outrage of their
women. We may argue all we will, and
abuse as much as we like, but the
Southern white man has decreed that
this thing shall not be. There is in the
South ''knightly" attitude toward
women. Whatever part this old-fashion-
ed gallantry may play or may eveE have
played between individual men and Wo-
men, it is Il force that is vet indomitahie.
Nothing else can so arouse all the white
mans racefeeling. no other CRIME or
combination of other crimes not even
murder and arson and massacre altogetn-
or These crimes arouse indignation. but
the outrage of IL white woman by ne
gro makes the Southern white man in
sane. Cutting off ears and fingers and
toes, kinding fire with oil and pitch.
and yelling and shooting while Il misera-
bile negro is being consumed is the work
of insane people. The story of the
Georgia lynching bears every mark OF
insanity. Now the startling part is this,
that the Southern white man knows it's
insanity; he acknowledges it in CONVEX
sation and in periodicals that it's insan-
| ity, but they will become insane as often
as negro brutes outrage white women

conclusion that the office of superinten-
dent is not an office created by the
Constitution. Section 3 of the article
NJ of the Constitution, ordained THAT
the General Assembly shall at its first
meeting make provision for the erection
and conduct of a States prison or peni-
tentiary,' and that provision, in our
opinion, imposes upon the Legislature
the duty of attending to the details as
to the erection OF the necessary build
ings. the purchase of such property, real

the uses of the prison; and also as may
seem proper. The officers or their sala-
