were interviewed OIL the subject Of
the Booker Washington dinner,
and be it said to their credit that,
unlike most of the senator's and
Southern States displayed degree
of moral courage with was quite
refreshing in these days of political
subserviency.
Gov. Heard was among the
Southern executives who expressed
their views upon the action of
President Roosevelt. The Gazette
believes that Gov. Heard's utter
man and as the highest officer in
the State. They are manly, dignl.
fed, Enthusiastically genuine,
clear, forcible and true. The COVER
nor said:
president Roosevelt was, doubtless,
actuated by the thought, in the abstract,
that the negro of the grade of Booker
Washington should be treated like white
man of the same grade.
ssThis view obtains in the North and in
Europe with theorists who have never con-
sidered, in connection with it, the serious
consequences and complications that would
follow its application in the South where
millions of negroes of all grades live among
millions of whites, whose racial pride, his
tory, origin and training, naturally teaches
them to maintain by every just and legiti-
mate recourse the purity of the Caucasian
race and its civilization.
ssTo lower the established barriers for
negroes of the grade of Booker Washington,
is to open the way for the Eruption of the
entire negro race into the citadel of white
civilization in the South. This, the South
ern whites are i-revocably resolved never
to do.
with their environments they cannot
afford to indulge in experiments which are
occasionally INDUCED in at the North and
in Europe.
't1t is not unreasoning prejudice, there
fore, reasoners abroad think it is, that is
actuating the Southern whites in this cru
cial question; it is nothing more nor less
than an intelligently governed instinct of
self preservation.
'tNortherners and Europeans have come
South with these ill-considered theories of
social equality between the races, but with
few exceptions they have soon ranged
themselves alongside of the Southern whites
in the strict maintenance of the color line
in social intercourse. The negro question
was in rapid progress of peaceful solution
at the South, upon lines of mutual lasting
advantage to both races, and it is to be
feared that the Presidents misstep will be
misconstrued by the mass of the negroes
and that the solution of this vexed and vex-
ing question will be retarded.
''The lingering vestiges of sectional ran
had well nigh been obliterated by the
kindly, liberal and considerate policy of the
lamented President Mckinley, and it may
be apprehended that the revival of this
most menacing phase of the race question,
from the narrow standpoint from which it
is viewed by too many at the North, will
tend to revive in degree corresponding
with the incorporate tones of the discus
sion, those feelings that, for the country's
welfare, should be allowed to pass away.
upon this question of the preservation
of the purity of their and its civiliza-
ton, the white people of the South will
not, connot, compromise. The world
should know this
1t is really surprising to what

BOOSTING SUGAR

The first good news which the holders
of depressed sugar stocks have had in
many months came yesterday in the
form of the intelligence that the long
and disastrous drought on the northern
part of the island of Hawaii had been
broken This news was brought in
letter to Edward POLITE & Co: from the
Honokaa and Paauhau plantations of the
date of August Goth, by the United States
transport Solace,. which left Honolulu on
the 22d. It stated that on that date
quarter of an inch of rain had fallen.
and that there were all the evidences OF
a heavy precipitation, thereby insuring
good crops for the coming season. TINS
information was corroborated by a letter
from another source which went further
saying that there had been heavy
downpour on the two plantations.

plantations situated on the Island of Ha-

farious plans IN secret, IN the dens
and caves of the earth, enjoy an I'M
conscious cooperation and side-part-
nership with every lawless influence
abroad in the world. Legislators who
betray the commonwealth, Judges
who poison the fountains of justice,
city governments which come to
terms with crime-all these are regu-
lar contributors to the campaign
fund of anarchy. That bowling mass.
whether in Kansas or Alabama--that
assembly of wild beasts dancing in
drunken carousal about the ashes OF
some negro malefactor, is not con-
tributing to the security of society;
it is taking away from society the
only secuity il has. 1t belongs to
the unenrolled reserve corps of an
archy in the United States. The
words which came spontaneously to
the lips of William Mckinley as he
sank under mortal wounds and saw
the infatuated crowd pressing his as
sailant, ought to be repeated in the
ears of the officers Of peace from one
end Of the land to the other in all
the years that are to come-'Let no
one hurt him. let the law take it's
course"
"The fatal word in the creed Nof
anarchy is atheism Until that won
is spoken, until all sense of the moral
government of the universe and the
moral significance Of human life is
lost, II is impossible to conceive much
less to execute, this malignant propo-
ganda against the rights Of mankind.
No man who brings nothing with him
except blind faith in natural laws,
which nobody made and nobody adj
ministers, will ever find a permanent
iiscipleship in world like this. 1t
Ia their misfortune that their WORKS
have had the most influence among
those who have been least able to
understand them.
ut may be an idle Imagination,
but as l have heard the prayers
which have been offered and the SER
mons which have been preached about
the dead body of William Mckinley,
il has come to look more and more
rational to me that II indeed his as
sassination was an incident Of the
standing challenge of atheism against
the peace and order Of society, 1t
could not, now that Gladstone is no
more, have chosen a sacrifice more
fit to illustrate the nobility Of human
character nurtured in the fear OF
God and trained from infancy in the
law Of Christianity"

paid it's second tribute to the men,
DRY of President Mckinley. Memorial
services were held in all parts Of the
city during the day and night. At
the Coliseum, where the principal ex-
ercises were held, so many people
applied for admission that an over
flow meeting was arranged at latter
sails. In the afternoon the services
were for school children and all the
speakers endeavored to impress upon
the young people the significance Of
the ASA ssination Of the president and
the conditions that actuated the as
sassin.
Senator Dolliver, Of Iowa, was the
principal speaker at the evening meet
ing. He said in part: "There will be
opportunity enough to make inquiry
into the causes Of the enormous OF
Tense against mankind, of which the
president of the United States was
the victim. But it cannot he out of
the way, even at such time as this,
TO recognize that in the midst OF
modern society there are thousand
forces manifestly tending toward the
moral degradation out Of which this
wicked hand was raised to kill the
chief magistrate of the American
people. The government of the
United States has given no attention
and the government Of the several
states, but little, to the activity, in
many of our states, Of organizations,
inconsiderable in numbers, which
boldly profess to seek the destruc'
ton of all government and all law.
"a government like ours is always
slow to move and often awkward in
its motions, but It can be trusted to
find effective remedies for conditions
like these, at least, after they be-
come intolerable. But these reme-
dies, in order to be effective, must
not evade the sense Of justice which
Is universal nor the traditions Of civil
liberty which we have inherited from
bur fathers. The bill Of rights, writ
ten in the English language, stands
for too many centuries Of sacrifice,
