Times When Man Should Rim

The Charlotte Observer re-
marks: No tragedy has taken place
in Charlotte in years that has excit-
ed more talk than the killing of
Tom Wilson by Arthur l. Bishop.
All features of the shooting ate
interesting, and, taken collective
ly, offer for argument a question
that has been much discussed.
What should a man do when he is
taken to task in a place where b.
has no social or Legitimate bust
ness-fght or runs Bishop who
was a married man, who was in
the home of a man that he sup
posed to be beneath him socially
Bishop, who was drinking wine
with a 17-year-old girl, turning
on her father, who Was handling
him roughly, said, 81 am a gen.
tlemau," and then committed
murder. 1t Is not intended to
prejudice anybody in matter
that has not been yet tried by the
courts; but Bishop should have
run. He. might have been invit-,
ed into the house, but he should
have run when Tom Wilson came
into the parlor and showed anger.
There are some things that a SEN
sible man cannot fight about.
When he is in place where he
would not like his wife or his
mother or his sister to see him he
must run and run quickly and not
raise his hand to strike. If his
only method of egress is through
a third story window, why, he
should jump without moments
hesitation. For it is the ethics
of gentlemen and brave men that
u fight over a card game or a fight
over a woman, except as last
resort and to defend her, is bar

Philadelphia, Dec. 15.-The
roof and supports of the round

Philippines for Negroes
Senator Morgan Has Scheme to
Utilize Our New Possessions

Senator John L. Morgan, of
Alabama, has succeeded, after
two years of endeavor, in inter
esting the war department and ln-
cidentally President Roosevelt, in
plan to use the Philippine is-
lands in colonizing the Negroes
of the United States, says Wash
ington dispatch 10 the Atlanta
Journal.
The war department has made
arrangements to test the practi-
cal possibilities of the plan and
the president has sent special
envoy, T. Thomas Fortune, a Ne
gro leader, to the Philippine Is
lands to make investigation and
report on the condition there.
In his efforts to have the plan
put into execution, Senator Nor
gan has held frequent co onsulta-
tion with Secretary of War Root;
has consulted Governor General
Taft, and in other ways urged bis
scheme on the officials.
1t is the Alabamian purpose In
the future to start legislation in
congress for the movement to col
onize the Negroes In the Philip
pines. He has not pushed this
work because he believes the time
is not ripe yet for legislation; the
farmers of the south, he says,
think they need the Negro now,
and until conditions are more fav.
orable, he will withhold the pro
posed legislation. He believes,
however, that the move now un-
der way will result eventually in
millions of the Negroes emigratine
:, :, PHILIPPINE islands aud work
ing out their own salvation
there.
This, he says, is the solution OF
the grave Negro question which
now confronts the American peo-
ole.
Senator Morgan's plan is to
Incorporate for the Negroes,
steamship transportation compan-
les; to give them homesteads of
about twenty acres each in the
island and to give them the best
possible commercial advantages.
The plan would not deprive them
of their protection under the Hag
of the United States; 1T would not
deprive them of citizenship, of
which they are proud, and it
would enable them to become a
self, sustaining and prosperous
race of people, because the land
in the Philippine islands is ex.
tremely rich and fertile. The
climate Is exactly suited to the
Negroes physical and industrial
character, he says. Under this
plan Senator Morgan believes
great numbers of the Negroes, but
not all of them, of course, would
