Racial PrOrating School Funds.

Bishop Galloway, of Mississippi.
is man of such sanity of views
and charity of purpose in all pub
lie matters that he commands
great influence over public opin-
ion In his state. On more than
one occasion, without embroiling
himself with party politics, he has
conservative reforms i'm the public
policy of the commonwealth. He
is Il fair. rational and eloquent adj
vocate of any cause he champions,
An agitation il being aroused
in Mississippi for the division of
the public school funds of the
state along racial lines proportion
ate to the amount of taxes paid by
each race. The proposition has
been obtaining strong Roadway
among the people, especially in
rural districts, where the burdens
of direct taxation are most irksome.
White men who pay the bulk of
these taxes have seemingly grown
tired of seeing them divided under
their noses in proportion that
gave to the non tax paying negroes
benefits that the whites have ar
gued should be given more large
ly to their own children. This
plea of quid pro quo on the face
of il looks to many narrow
thinkers an almost unimpeachabl BILE
argument.
Bishop Galloway has thrown
himself straight across the path
way of this growing movement
and combats it with vigor and
lofty appeal to far sighted patriot
ism. His pronunciamento of OPP
position is that
Ignorance must be removed.
under whatever color of skin, or
the kingdom of God will long de-
lay its coming"
He holds that discrimination in
the matter of public instruction is
state duty and strikes a death
blow at one of the most vital and
sacred principles of true demoo-
racy A division of funds by
color may lead later to division
by prorata, SO that every mans
child should get only what his
own his father pays-and that
would be the inevitable of the
system of public education.
The object of public schools is
to increase literacy and decrease
the Pandora evils that flow from
ignorance III streams of poverty,
crime, disease and degradation.
What the state owes she owes to
all. The only question is whether
the child is the son or daughter of
citizen. That fixes its right to
participate in the state fund
gathered from many sources. And
so the bishop plants his fight for
equality of education facilities on
what he claims are the principles
of righteousness and democracy

Do Something.

There are young men In every
community who have no occupa-
ton because they have not been
able TO find an opening in that par
ticular line which suits their in
clination. They have gone along
for years waiting for such an open
ing to occur. and have finally be-
come dissatisfied with life They
have made a mistake. and those
who have encouraged them in such
a course are likewise to blame.
Perhaps it is some ambitious par
ent who has thus unthoughtedly
injured his offspring. We use the
term injured advisedly, for no
greater injury can come to young
man than to contract habits of
thriftlessness in his early youth.
If he has been reared to the belief
that something good would come
to him simply because he happened
to be the offspring of such fam
lily, he has been grievously wrong
ed In this practical age only merit
succeeds. and each individual must
establish for himself that charac-
ter in the business world To sus-
tain his future. False pride has
deferred many from the first step
in what might have proven sue
cessful career. Any honest en-
ployment is preferable to life of
idleness. The young man who re-
mains without work for any con-
siderable time. gets the reputation
of "a-never- do-well, !" and bust
ness men do not want that kind of
help.-Starkville Journal.

The prize fight at San Francisco

proven to have been SO he will not

Policies Rather Than Men.

From this and that section of
the State j. heard the claim that
some favorite candidate has a cinch
OH the Governors office for the en-
suing term. Those who are voic-
ing such claims have not felt of
the political pulse In Mississippi
at this time. They do not know
that the officers who will shape
public affairs for the four years
subsequent to 1904 will be selected
more from the policies they pro-
mitigate and champion than from
their personnel or present popular
ity. In other words, they have fail
ed TO realize that, in 1903, Missis-
sippi will engage in an election
of policies rather than men. 1t
thus becomes evident that no man
has IA cinch on any State office at
this time. nor could have until he
has developed that he is the right
man advocating the right policy
The time has come when the
people will shape the State gov
eminent by selecting officers who
represent their ideas and who are
pledged to- execute them. Plati-
tudes will no longer be accepted
as platforms nor evaslons as
pledges. The issues will be fairly
presented and their treatment de-
manded. This brings the question
squarely up To the candidates, who
must meet the following interrog-
atories: How do you stand on
this issue, and how do you stand
OH that? What is your solution
of the stock law problem, the edu-
cational problem, the industrial
problem, in fact, all governmental
problems? Will you stand pledged
To your treatment of these ques-
tions on the hastings, or will you
dodge them with evasions and in
generalities? These and many more
summers will paralyze candidates
in the campaign of 1908. They
will knock the mediocre ones out
on the first round and leave the fit
test TO choose from, thereby es-
tablishing a happy precedent in
Mississippi politics.
This will obtain because the peo-
pie, and not convention of trad
ing politicians, are to vote in judg
ment. Then, candidates, pull your
selves together, exercise all of your
craftsmanship and give the people,
as well as yourselves, the benefit
of your best powers.

John Sharpe Williams, the po-

Wellington in the person of Hon.
G. +. Hooker in the approaching
primaries of the eighth congress

hoped the defeat will not exile him
from the public service, but that
he may recover and win victories
on other fields that will more than
reclaim the Waterloo he has lost.
The battle-ground for United States
Senatorships must be occupied

The corn market on the future
exchanges had no sooner recovered
from n gigantic corner" than it
was followed by terrific squeeze
on July oats. The last is much
more fierce than the corn trouble
as there is no possibility to secure
the oats anywhere TO cover the
shortage by actual delivery even if
the limit of time permitted, and
many operators will be forced to
settle with the cash at an exorbi-
tant advance of real values. The

A general encampment of the
Mississippi National Guard will
be held at Biloxi, beginning Aug.
18th and continuing for ten days.
This is exceedingly gratifying
since it was announced sometime
ago that no general encampment
could be held for want of sufficient
funds. 81. 3S5 will be contributed
by the state and 81 800 by Biloxi
to defray the expense of the en-
campment. 1t is hoped that the
next legislature will provide for
the State National Guard better
than the last one did. 1t is morti-
flying to depend them on the chart
ties of municipalities whenever
they go into encampment. 1t
should never happen in Mississip-
pi again and we believe it won't.

1t has been charged that Ashley
Cooke and Tom Lauderdale were
doped to drunken frenzy by the
officials at Greenville just before
they assembled the scaffold. This
is serious thing to charge unless
warranted by indisputable proof
If true, the officers concerned in
the disgraceful affair should be
removed from office. That Ashley
Cooke was drunk, his utterances
on the scaffold clearly establish,
but whether with whiskey or
bravado and craven fear is veto be
ascertained. Either will drive a
man to sacrilege and Infamous
madness. Then give the officers
the benefit of the doubt or con
front them with the proof.
