WE pRErEn TIE DIRECT WAY.

Some time ago the Norfolk Landmark
asked The Times why We preferred the
repeal Of the Fifteenth Amendment as a
means Of getting rid OF the negro vote
when the same thing could be accom-
plished by mactments in the several
states. We replied that we preferred the
repeal of the Fifteenth Amendment be-
cause that would be a direct measure
while the individual State laws were ne
cessarily indirect and eyasiye. in reply
10 this the Landmark says;
AS The Times knows. the suffrage re-
stricti0n problem is something OF a hobby
with The Landmark For years we
have advocated the adoption of voting
qualification I'm this State, with view
to the elimination of q danger That FUR
nishes the only ve-tige OF excuse Tor
doubtful election methods
From our point OF view there Is no
evasion about this of protecting Our
selves by an educational and property
qualification. A law of that kind would
not discriminate against any man on
account OF his color. The white man
who cannot read and write or who does
not possess a certain amount of prop
erty would be barred from voting The
fact that the proportion OF negroes COM
ing within the restriction would tre-
mendously exceed that OF the white is
no ground for assailing the fairness of
the law. The Landmark is in favor of
an alternative educational and property
qualification on general principles, out
side Of the race problem.
We would not have our contemporary
understand us as being opposed TO the
repeal OF the Fifteenth Amendment. We
are as earnestly I'm favor Of its reDeal
as any one can he: but we know that the
chance of repeal is very small and we
do not think that The Southern states
should wait for the fuldument Of that
vague hone BEING able 20 settle their
troubles By just and sensible laws Of
their own. they need not hesitate TO APP
ply the remedy. Would The Times have
the South let the sore tester until the
North and West volunteer 20 heal it2
Our Norfolk contemporary takes the
honest position but the Landmark knows
full well that the South Carolina law. the
Mississippi law, the Louisiana law. and the
proposed North Carolina law are not such
straightforward measures as e ADVOCATES
We will not so into dotail, but II is well
known that under the so-callod under
standing clause" of the South Carolina
law all the whites. regardless of their
qualification, could be registered. and all
the blacks regardless Of their Qualidca-
ton. could be excluded Then there is
the so-called grandfather clause" IN the
North Carolina law. That is also an
evasion. The Times does not like eva
sions. We believe in bold and direct
measures, and that the proper way to
disfranchise the negro and 10 get rid Of
the incubus OF The negro vote IL to repeal
the Fifteenth Amendment Of the Constltu-
ton Of the United States

President Decides to Give Him Supreme
Charge of Affairs in Cuba.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-General Leon
ard Wood will be the master of all
Cuba under the direction CO the presi-
dent until the time comes when con-
gress takes action by providing a new
civil government for the island. Gen
eral Wood is not to be called officially
civil governor" He will be military
governor, in supreme command of the
island, but in the absence of any in
surrection or trouble-and none is ex-
pected by the administration-his
duties will chiefly be civil. General
Wood is to have the rank of major gen.
eral of volunteers, which will enable
him to outrank the regular army
officers who remain in Cuba under his
command. Some of the generals now
there are to be withdrawn, and those
