Wedding Out The Ignorant Vote

The determination to eliminate
the ignorant negro vote by legal
methods is growing in the South
Mississippi. Louisiana and South
Carolina have already adopted
amendments to their constitutions
which disfranchise the bulk
of the former negro voters and
North Carolina will vote a year
hence upon similar amendment.
The campaign has already begun
and it is certain that the amend
ment will be adopted by large
majority. This prospect is admit
ted by Governor Russell, the lead
ing republican of the state, as we'll
as by the most intelligent and in
huential of the North Carolina
negroes.
While the white men of the
state including many republicans,
are almost a unit in favor of pro-
posed amendment, the negroes
seem to care very little about it.
They realize that they have made
nothing by playing at the game
of politics and are not loatil to
to give it up, They have been
abused by designing sharpers of
their own race and by white adven-
lures until they are sick of it.
The North Carolina negroes are
learning the lesson which is be-
coming palmer every day in every
part of the South, namely, that
their interests will be best protect
ed and most surely advanced by
friendly cooperation with the
better classes of the white men in
the community. Atlanta journal.

The indications are that the experiment
OF municipal ownership of street railroads
viii be made in Detroit. 1t is announced
that the recent state law IS be
ing taken advantage Of. and that the city
has acquired about all of the surface rail-
ways withlu its limits. that in few days
it Will have possession Of all Of them.
Other cities Of the country will watch
the Detroit experiment with great inter-
est. Whether il will be failure or a
success will depend, of course, on the men
who are intrusted with the control Of At.
IL good men are given the management OF
it the city treasury win be richer for the
change in the ownership, but if the man
agement is constantly changed-changed
whenever the party in control OF the clty
is changed-it viii be failure.
In ali great business enterprises, honest
and intelligent management is everything.
Bad management means failure and good
management means success. There are
only a few men in a city of the size OF
Detroit who are capable Of making sue
cess of street railway system. If the
management u Nllt iJtAtOlt iOdi9 5ONe "tNA
the successful party in the municipal cleo
tions bad instead of good management
will be the rule, and the city will have
occasion many times to be sorry for the
day il decided TO purchase the street car
lines.
Philadelphia undertook to supply its peo-
pie with gas. After years Of trial it was
concluded to sell the gas business TO a
private corporation. 1t was found impos-
sible TO keep the heelers and henchmen of
the ward politicians out of the places
which the city had to fill These men
knew nothing of the gas business and they
didn't care to learn. They only wanted
to draw big salaries. And hundreds of
unnecessary places had to be created for
the friends of the ward bosses. The con-
sequence was the city lost money every
year on its gas business. Finally, it had
10 sell its plant and go out of business to
avoid bankruptcy.
Detroit may not have a similar expert
ence, out there is a chance that it will.
The politicians are the same there as else
where, and they will leave no stone un-
turned to make the street railroads the
means of taking care of their friends and
of carrying the city elections.

A Joke on Porter.

see her when they returned. 1t was only

band had given was in P street Mr.. PoI-

said the secretary.
And 1 told you" replied the maid. with
added dignity. "that her majesty has gone
out for a walk
Thereupon the secretary, being some
what wroth, marched down the steps and
away. Later somebody, l don't know the
somebody's name hearing of the unpar-
alleed impertinence of Mrs. Donaldson 8
maid, went to the house to reprimand the
girl. She opened the door and seemed
vastly puzzled to understand wherein she
had offended.

SMALL BUSINESS.

The board of regents of the State Agri-
curtural College of Kansas-at least the
majority of it-must have felt that il was
engaging in very small business on Mon
day when it adopted a resolution with
drawing an invitation TO Mr..
Bryan to deliver the commence
ment address in June, which
had been extended to MIN by a former
board. The reason the board gave for its
action was that ii wanted to take the col
lege out of politics. Its action will have
the effect of getting the college deeper into
politics, because when the Democrats set
control the chances are that they will see
TO it that no Republican is invited to take
part in the commencement exercises
There is no ground for supposng that
Mr. Bryan would have utilized the occa-
sion for delivering a political address He
has an appreciation of the fitness OF
things, and would have taken an educa-
tional topic as the subject of his ad-
dress If the board of regents had acted
with Judgment and prudence there
wouldn't have been any politics in the
commencement exercises, and everybody
would have been satisfied. Now, however.
the Bryan incident win be the principa!
topic Of conversation at the commence
ment and a large part of the visitors and
students viii feel that the college has
been lowered in the estimation of the peo-
pie of the state.
1t is a pity that It so often happens that
tally unfit-for which they are too small.
If the majority of the board of regents of
the State Agricultural College of Kansas
are fair specimens of the leading men of
that state il is not matter of wonder

The State Railroad Commission of New
York has undertaken an examination and
practical test of power brakes and other
safety appliances for street surface rail-
ways. The first series of tests will be
made on the Metropolitan lines in New
York city. 1t is announced that some
fifty devices will be tested. 1t is claimed,
with much show of reason, that the hand
brake, such as was used on the old horse
cars, is not powerful and quick enough
TO control the heavy trolley cars which
now go spinning through the streets. In
many cities, including the city of Savan-
nah, it is frequently necessary TO run
trains of two or three cars. In such
cases, even if the trailer" cars are pro-
vided with brakes. the prompt stopping
of the lrain at the sudden approach of
danger, depends entirely upon the skin
and physical strength of the motorman,
with the old hand brake. Presumably
the street railway companies have never
adopted positive, powerful, efficient
power brake for the same reason that
some of them have not equipped their cars
with tenders; that is, in the interest of
public safety

ROOSEVELT AND THE CORPORA
TIONS

There does seem to be foundation for the
cartoons in some of the New York papers
which show that Senator Platt is still boss
of the Republican party of that state, and
that he leads Gov. Roosevelt around by
the ear when the latter attempts to do
something which the boss doesn't want
done. The Ford franchise bill, which au-
thorizes the assessment of franchises
granted by the state on the same basis
as real estate, was passed at the special
request of the Governor. The bill is an
attempt to make great corporations, which
use the streets of cities of the state, pay
taxes on a fair valuation of the franchises
they have. The corporations didn't think
the bill would pass, and hence they made
astonished when it passed, and they
straightway set about defeating it.
Their attorneys gathered at the state
capital, and argued with the Governor,
and used every means in their power to
prevent him from signing it. OF course,
he could not consistently refuse to sign it.
To have vetoed it would have been equal
to signing his political death warrant.
But he has decided to call an extra ses-
sion OF the legislature ana have the bill
modified The changes which are propos-
ed in the bill will, if adopted. leave the
corporations almost as free from taxation
as they are now
1t is said that MIR. Platt is the power
that induced the Governor to decide to
call an extra session of the legislature.
And he will dictate the sort of a bill
which shall be passed. The bill, as il is
at present, is popular in the rural dis
tricts. but Gov. Roosevelt will not be
popular In those districts, nor in any 9th
er. If the amendments which are proposed
are adopted. 1t will be said of him that
the people were mistaken in him-that he
lacks the backbone necessary to make a
| great Governor. If he had stood by the
bill his popularity would have been in
| creased greatly. BY yielding to the cor
! porations he has, in all probability, lost
! all chance of succeeding himself as Gov
| ernor.
