WHO MAY VOTE UNDER THE
AMENDMENT.

Wilmington Messenger.
Az examination of the 4th and 9th
sections % the franchise amendment
to be yn,ed upon in August next VIII
satisfy an; one Il ordinary sense that
two t:.ings are clear, are apparent.
FRS. ri! who read and write may vote
urs Isl: tie Ash section. Second that all
whites wEo cannot read and write may
vote ;.iiaar 5ti, section. And why?
Becs us.s IL distinctly sets forth that
mo In,:s person, who was on January
/, 1867, Or any time prior thereto, en-
titled 20 vote under the laws OF any
state in the United States wherein he
then resided, aud no !jneal descendant
of any such person, shall be denied the
right 20 register and vote at any cleo
ton i'll the state by reason OF his failure
to possess the educational qualification
prescribed in section OF this article:
Provided he shall have registered IN
accordance with the terms Of this Al
ticle prior to December l, 1908" Ard
that means simply that all the whites
can vote under that section for the
plain reason that there is 40. sing lie
white man IN all the state whose father
Or grandfather could not vote IN the
year indicated, 1867. There can be no
possible Acknowledgement Of the whites
under that section, and ali the liars in
the state cannot make any other thing
appear however much they may lie.
In the amend ment there Is another
most II s., fair, necessary provision.
1t il compulsory to- have each voter
to pay poll tax. This is just and
proper All voters not otherwise ex-
empt should pay something towards
the support OF the state government.
The poll tax is the best way to reach
all, and It is needed to carry on the
state government. The law makes
proper exemptions from the law gov
erning the poll tax. All persons over
fifty years OF age and all persons who
are exempt by the county commission
ers will NO" have to pay 2 poll tax
The whites are the burdenbesrers. Oh
all taxas paid in 1898, So 80 weree PAID
by the whites. Surely the negros who
may vote shou i'd be forced by law tc
pay something Tor that privilege, for
the privilegsof citizenship, tor the
support of the government. They are
poor citizens who do not help to sus
tain public government in some way
Nospoll tax paid no vote given. Here
tofore the neglect as to poll tax collect

ONCE TOO OFTEN

Col. Tom Ochiltree of Texas has writ
ten to his friends in Washington an
nouncing his arrival at Baden Baden,
where he hopes to regain his health.
There are numerous friends of the
colonel, however, who ascribe another
motive to his sudden departure for the
famous health resort. But this is all
copj ecture and should not be taken too
seriously.
Some days ago New York news
paper printed story concerning Col.
Ochiltree and Private John Allen to
which both gentlemen objected quite
strongly. The affair, which the news
force of it's Washington correspon-
dent, occurred in Chamberlin's, and
was witnessed by many statesmen and
public men. Col. Ochiltree was tell
ing, for the edificstion of the assem-
bled guests, some of his experiences
during the; war between the United
States and Mexico, and the crowd was
soon lost In admiration at the bravery
of the Texan.
According to Col. Ochiltree be took
part in an engagement In which, he
stated, every man lost his life.
Every man, Colonel?' asked Fri
vate John Allen, with a knowing smile
toward the eager listeners.
"All but me, all but me-" replied
Col Ochiltree.
Private John, according to the story,
at this offered to wager a few coins
that Col. Ochiltree had never been
within hundred miles of the place
where the celebrated battle occurred.
Col. Ochiltree, it was stated by the
New York newspaper, went in search
of gun, and Private John Allen went
to cover. The next morning the New
York paper printed retraction OF the
story, but friends of the colonel say
that the incident really occurred, and
that he decided to GO abroad until it
is forgotten.

THE PREACHER AND THE BULL
FIGHT

Churches often inspect the private
lives of their pastors and dominate
over their individual actions
until one would think they have no
rights that anybody is bound
to respect. Not only does he
have to serve his church to the best Of
his health, intellect and faith, but he
as to please all sorts and condi-
lions of men and women in his social
life and he has to conform the details
of his very most intimate household
life to the scrutiny and criticism of all
sorts of overly sympathetic people.
His conscience may not be his only
guide, he is dashed by gossip and
criticism.
An excellentexampleo of this is one
from Beaumont. DR.. Pledger, pastor
of the Methodist church there and q
man we'll known throughout the state,
went to Monterey with two of his
deacons and the three men attended q
bull fight. Before they reached home,
the news of their going was the topic
of discussion in church circles. The
next Sunday sfter his return the
minister preached on the bull fight,
explained why he went, said he had
no apologies to make and that his
resig nation was ready if the congrega-
tion wished it. The congregation has
not asked for his resignation, but
ministers all over the state have sent
him letters Of censure and have been
so persistent in their criticism that DR..
Pledger thinks it best to quit the
church. He will not quit the min
istry, but will le cture for q while. The
town and the church regret his de-
parture. 1t would seem that the
propriety OF a minister going once to a
bull fight could be left to his own con-
science and the standards of his CON-
gregation, but some Texas methodists
evi IDENTIFY thought otherwise.

PICTURESQUE BRYAN

II it would not be so serious It would
be ridiculous to see Bryan president
and trying to carry out oil of his
calamity theories and ''reforms." Any
one with gold enough in an old teapot
or stocking to live On comfortably
regardless of the worlds markets or
industries might find it Interesting to
watch money, markets, industry, and
values flop about In the uncertainty.
Bryan vainly trying to get rid OF
the responsibility of the Philippines
would be more picturesque sight.
He would have either to desert them,
give them away or throw them into
the worlds arena for other nations to
grab, or he would have to accept the
responsibility of throwing them back
on themselves, a prey to their own
vicious populations, their ignorance
and inexperience, and to continual
dangers from outside.
The best that can be done with
them is being done now. Bryan
could produce more dramatic effects
but would have to make the present
conditions materially worse. Hi s
absolute certainty that he can deal with
the trusts would be another pictures
que phase, when he tried to kill al

to tell the limits of Chinese fanaticism,

No wonder the demopops sympathize
with the Boxers. A prominent China
man has said that the Boxers are a
secret society of Cinnamon Of the lower
classes, and that it is not so much an
anti Christian society as an
anti-railroads and anti-manufactories
party. The Cinnamon argue that rail
roads and factories deprive them of
work and SO in many districts they
have torn up railroads as fast as they
could he laid. AS the knowledge of the
situation in China increases there is
little doubt that some of the blame for

built the railways, destroyed their
farms and their family tombs. The

on Napoleon to fortify himself for his

refers to McKinley's administration
as pro consul scheme. If he would
read a little further back in French
history he could find q predecessor for
Bryan. Mr.. Bryan said before the
fourth of July that the platform did
not make any difference, that the

rather than in Its, promises, just the

the sound of concrete mixers
at work, with long swinging hoes
mixing sand ami gravel. It means
cleanliness, thrift, enterprise, and
public spirit wherever a good side
walk goes down. Good roads Is the
cry of the land, good streets and good
sidewalks is the cry of the cities. In

of the best paved cities in the south.

IEMoPOPUL1STIC papers are publish

NATIONAL CRIMINAL BUREAU.

Capt. w. S. Seavey, vice.presi-
dent of the interstatej sheriffs' asso-
citation and general travelling agent for
the Thiel detective agency of st
Louis. addressed the sheriffs the other
day on a matter that concerns every
Amer lean city. He said that at the
last meeting of the interstate sheriffs'
association a resolution was passed re-
questing the congressman of the states
in cluded in that association to take
steps toward emaking the Bertillon
syst EN- lthe national system of the
U nited States and establishing at
Washington q bureau that would be a
repository for the criminal inform
alton and statistics of the whole coup-
try and sort of clearing house for
the criminal bureaus of sll the cities.
There is now in existence at Chicago
such q bureau on small scale, to
which oaly twenty-three cities have
access. By making the institution q
national one and giving every sheriff,
chief of police, and penitentiary war
den in the United States the opportu-
nifty .of using the. bureau, the escape
of notorious criminals would be
we'll nigh impossible. OF
course the basis of the infor-
nation bureau would be rogue's gal
lery, but this would be supplemented
by all the elaborate measurements and
Systems of description that go to make
up the perfected Bertillon system.
Every effort would be made to keep
the bureau at all times up to date, so
that If a subject was arrested at any
ii me in any part of the United States a
telegram TO the bureau at Washington
would Immediately determine whether
the man was wanted anywhere for
crime. The subject is an interesting one
and it would be we'll for every state to
take the matter up and push it to the
poius where the national government
will move in the establishment of q ma
tionsl bureau.
