WHO SHOULD RESIGN.

The News and Observer, referring
to the Tillman-M cLaurin resignation
episode, suggests that now Senator
Pritchard should resign and result
NIT his claims to seat in the Senate
to the people. This is rather an I'M
fortunate suggestion for the News
and Observer and the Simmons bal
lOt-bOx stuffing machine. 1t is Mr..
Simmons and Governor Aycock
whose titles to their offices are not
only questionable, but tainted with
fraud. No one has ever dared to
question the fact that Senator Pritch-
ard was elected under an honest
election law, with every legal voter
allowed to vote, and his vote honest
ly counted. There is not a demo
Graf in the state who will dare to
make the same claim with reference
to Mr.. Simmons and Mr.. Aycock.
Therefore, let them resign and sub
NIT their claims to the people at an
election where every party will have
representation on all election boards
and where the right of every legal
| voter ia secured tn vote ond h.,
his vote honestly counted. Let this
be done and both Of these gentlemen
and all who were counted in with
them will be retired to private life

"a SANER CITIZENSHIP

we have heard many favorable
comments on the graduate Grafton of
Mr.. Frank 8. Garden, delivered at
the Trinity commencement ON the
above subject. His appeal was for
independence of thought and action
in politics. OF course. his address,
was an arraignment of the mossback
and machine politician who attempts
to appeal to prejudice to prevent the
discussion of great issues before the
people. We have only heard broad,
liberal minded men, however,
praise this speech. The machine
politician of the Simmons type con-
siders such doctrine dangerous and
anarchistic. We hope to be able to
publish this address in the columns
of THE CAUCASIAN before long.
Our attention has been drawn to
several other orations at other col
leges along the same line. It is very
hopeful to find In the young men
who are just stepping Fl ON their col
lege life into the broad arena of pub
lie affai.s such wholesome opinions.
Not only have the graduating stu
dents delivered addresses giving ex-
preston to these broad and liberal
views, but the invited speakers have
also advanced the same wholesome
doctrine. The Charlotte Observer,
commenting upon the address of
Chancellor Kirkland at Vanderbilt
University last week, says:
GAS 50 many other commence
ment speakers in North Carolina
have done this year, Chancellor Kirk
land, of Vanderbilt University, in
his address at the University yester-
day, spoke for independent thought
and for the dignity of individual
ism. It is we'll to talk thus to young
men, just going upon the stage of
life"
1t is hopeful day for North Car
Olina when such doctrine is taught
and when it finds approval among q
larger and larger number of our
good citizens.

Last week we published an inter-
view from Congressman Livingston,
of Georgia, given 10 the Charlotte
Observer Washington correspond
ent on the suffrage QUESTION. He
said that Georgia Il not In favor OF
adopting any Of the schemes like
the North Carolina grandfather
clause or the Louisiana provision TO
disfranchise the negro, and he frank
Iy stated his reasons for ii; the first
aud most important being that there
was no necessity for such action.
He pointed out the fact that while
In Georgia there are four negro vot-
ers t. every six white voters, yet
there il in that commonwealth no
danger Of negro domination and cam
not possibly be any. Further, he
pointed out the great danger that
may result TO the South from TAX
ing such unwise and unconstitutiOn-
al action.
A few days ago Ex-Governor
O'Ferrall, of Virginia, gave to the
Washington Post an interview along
the same line. Governor O'Ferrall
took the position that the suffrage
amendments of North Carolina and
Louisiana were unconstitutional and
that the Court would either destroy
the whole amendments or else make
the DISTINGUISHING provisions apply
to both races alike, thus disfranchis-
ing large number of poor white
men who pay their taxes and create
the wealth Of the country by Their
Drawn and muscle and who are ever
ready to shoulder their muskets in
defense of their country and flag
He appeals to the people of Virgins
not to do such a wrong and unwist
act.
The Charlotte Observer, comment
ing upon Mr.. Livingston's interview
admitted that Mr.. Livingston reach
led the right conclusions, but i
apologized for what was done il
North Carolina on the ground tina
it was necessary to do wrong ant
unconstitutional act in order to max
possible freedom Of political Though
and action in North Carolina. TIL
concluding sentence Of the Charlotte
Observers editorial was as follows
"There are few things worse thai
the continued crack of the part,
lash with white supremacy cracke
attached"
This seems to be a confession o.
the part of the Observer that it an
a many others have not had tn
e courage to Withstand the party las
t of the Simmons machine when h
had his white supremacy cracker al
s tached.
