WOMEN IN POLITICS.

The Populists have been laughed
at because some of their women be.
came SO enthused on politics tina,
they went to making speeches.
Since then ladies have gone into
political leagues. They served as
committees to wait on people who
honestly believed differently.
This was done knowing men would
treat ladies with respect due ladies,
though they were in politics, some
thing We are told by every body Is
dirty. They just IS we'll speak. 1t
leads to it, and here we have 1t. An
exchange says:
"Mrs. Mary Green, seventy-four
years of age, made a speech at New
Rochelle, N. Y, a few days ago at
che raising Of a Democratic banner.
and so pleased the Democrats that
the Bryan campaign committee has
induced her to make stumping tour
through the State"

EDITORS BAILEY AND DANIELS.
The editor of the News and OBJ
server and the editor of the Biblical
Recorder, it seems, have locked
horns. We have read both sides,
and must say that we can but ad-
mire the pluck and grit manifested.
At first, we thought brother Bal
ley s denial should have been some
what modified But his explana-
ton is, so far, conclusive. We can
see how man or Christian could
endorse expansion, sound money
and protection and at the same
time condemn trusts only in a mild,
reasonable way. Yet we cannot
s % how such any one, especially an
editor OF a religious paper, can up
hold such revolutionary action az
we have had in the two last cam
paigns in this State. II Brother
Bailey has been wrong in one thing,
there Is no reason why he should
be wrong in two. We are glad to
know that he realizes that two
wrongs do not make one right. This
is an attainment to which we are
sorry to say, the News and Observer
has never reached.
The other mistake, and only
mistake Brother Bailey now seems
to be laboring under Is that of
expecting the Observer to keep any
promise that it has made or will
ever make.
We are in favor of free speech.
fair elections and white supremacy
on white principles and policies !:
and we are willing to win or lose
on such campaign.
We cannot but believe that a
man or party that is not willing to
risk it's or his chances on a fair dis
cussion of the issues and a fair
election law, has outlived it's or his
day of usefulness, and should be
relocated to the dark ages.

The simmons machine claims
that 1t Is opposed to trusts. But It
does not seem so, for they have
formed a trust against civil liberty
which prevents men from voting
against other trusts If they wanted
to. All the trusts will have to do

do the rest.

the writer does not know whether

IT'S LESSON.

The race riot in New York shows
that the only way to solve the race
question Is the Bible way, viz: Sep
crate the races. There is no use
theorizing otherwise. So long as
the race remains here, it must be-
come less and less free race. Ed
ucation, the accum ulation OF prop
erty or the mixing Of the races,
seems only to add injury to insult.
AS the negro race Is Inundated
and brought low in the estimation
oflprel udiced sentiment, so will that
class Of whites who must compete
wi IN negro labor be- Inundated and
brought low.
The tendency with these classes
is downward Instead of upward. A
ration cannot prosper and receive
Gods blessing unless it's object is tt
elevate humanity. humanity il
broader than a race, or a few selec
classes. 1t takes in the masses ant
pays special care and gives it's ten
derest powers to the elevation o
the poor, the helpless and thos
who cannot help themselves.
