WHY NOT NORTH.

The Commoner.
The collector of internal revenue in Ala
bama played conspicuous part in the
exclusion OF negro delegates from the Re-
publican convention of that State Mr..
Roosevelt removed the collector from Of
fee and caused to be made public this
statement:
Neither the administration nor the
Republican party of the North will
stand for the exclusion of any section
of our people by reason of their race
or color, when in other respects such
persons have complied with the laws
and are eligible under the law to full
and free participation in political ac-
ton and are of a high standard of
personal character
Many Republican papers commend the
President for the bravery he displayed
in removing this Federal officer. But it
may not be out of place to suggest that
for more than year Mr.. Roosevelt has
been in a position to show his friendship
for the negro and his devotion to the
idea that no person because of race or
color shiuld be excluded from free par
ticipation in political action and yet
Mr.. Roosevelt has not taken advantage
of his opportunity.
Many negroes have been appointed by
Republican administrations to office in
the South; but no important office in
the North has been bestowed upon the
black man.
Mr. Roosevelt might display a bit of
genuine courage and appoint some repu-
table negro to a postoffce in some Re-
publican city of the North.

8. Pass an act giving to any town the
right to vote for the establishment Of
dspensary upon the same conditions
IS town may now vote for prohibi-
ton.
A. Amend the present State prohibition
law so that when a community votes pro-
hibition it also secures the Dupln coun-
ty anti-jug law, thus preventing the ex-
press companies becoming becoming peri
patetic bar-rooms.
1t is believed that these four provis-
ions will give all the legislation needed.
The first and the most important step
in any reform that is valuable is to pre-
vent the sale or manufacture of liquor
in the rural districts. That is legislation
desired by most people. Wherever it is
rounded by police protection. AS to the
towns and cities, enjoying police pro-
lection, each one must determine for it
self whether it will have open saloons,
establish a dispensary or have prohibition.
The only safe rule is to leave such
regulation to each community. That is
/, tai doctrine which ought not to be dis
regarded wherever there is an established
town government, organized to control it's
own affairs with policemen to keep or
der. If Louisburg wants to con-
tinue its dispensary, it is matter alone
for its citizens if Concord wishes to
keep prohibition, that is a matter which
the majority of Concord voters ought to
control; if Wilmington wishes to continue
its saloons, low or high license, the voters
of Wilmington ought to determine that
question.
Everybody knows that the elimination
Of the negro vote will be followed by
tion and dispensary towns. But that is
matter that the Legislature should
leave entirely to the voters of each town,
after providing simple machinery for as
pertaining the will of the majority of
the voters. Heretofore, in view of the
danger in the negro vote, the Legislature
has felt itself justified in passing many
local acts and incorporating many coun-
try churches. The prohibition of the
manufacture and sale of liquor in all
places outs of incorporated towns
would make it unnecessary hereafter to
incorporate schools and churches, and
general legislation ought to exclude the
necessity of any local legislation what
ever as to the restriction of the sale or
manufacture of liquor and eliminate from
the Legislature the acrimonious fights
over prohibition and dispensaries that
have consumed so much time of late
years.
The general legislation above outlined,
if enacted, would prevent the question
of temperance, prohibition, or license
from entering into State rolitics-a con-
summation TO be dcvoutly wished. If
the Legislature should decline to give
substantially the remedies outlined in
these four tentative suggestions, the
question may be disturbing one in pcli-
tics. Both in the interest CT temperance
and coed politics, this paper has present
ed four measures which seem to meet
the present situation. 1t will do all that
without any desire to reflect upon the
motives of any who shall oppose such
legislation.

most those of anarchy or civil war.
! The striking miners have grown des-

the protee ton OF the state militia.
Even the militia has been compelled,
to tight for its own protection. Under
the circumstances the action of these
soldiers has been Very moderate. I'm
der a severer policy many of the of
ifendinS strikers would have been shot
down. With such {; policy too, the in
timidation of and assaults upon nom

would have been more in the nature
of compulsory persuasion, of that term
may be used.
on the 10Th two more colleries re-
suned operations. This makes four
teen colleres which are now working.
and altho the output with the present
force is only about $50 tons daily, il
is steadily growing as the force in
creases. In addition TO this there are
eighteen washeries in operation, ana
the output is not mach less than $4,000
tons Of coal weekly. Coal is now daily
being shipped from various sections of
the field.

doubtless Well for the strikers that it
is so near the end Some observations
