what are known as gum shoe methods.
The campaign now in progress in Mis-
sissippi is an illustration of this fact.
The candidates for governor and other
State offices and for the Senate in that
State are now on the stump. discussing
the issues of the day before the people.
and appealing to the masses for support
on their merits and because of the
soundness of their. political principles.
What a contrast this presents to the
methods which prevail in this State.
Here State convention assemblies, COM
posed of delegates. appointed by little
mass meetings in some parishes, selected
by parish committees in others and
chosen by primaries in still other par
ishes, and the trading and dickering
commences and candidate for governor
is finally nominated, whom nobody out
side of a few politicians had ever
thought of in connection with the high
and important Office.
'The people are tired of and Disguised
with such methods. The direct primary
is a better and fairer way. Let us try
it in Louisiana"

THE NEGRO AS A SUBJECT.

And the negro is the subject which
affords space writer's for newspapers I'M
limited possibilities and it may be said
in all seriousness that, not more than ten
per cent of the negro population in the
South ever peruse these essays, these
erratc and glittering generalities of
space filters who, as a rule, are ignorant
of the negro except in the sense that he
white man is white or light skinned
Much is being said of the negro. but how
much more could be written of the Chi
nese, who are swarming into the United
States in numbers, and who if not
checked must, in a few years, aggravate
the social and the labor problem, which
is now so prolific field for space writ
ers. Knowing the negro as we do, hav-
ing had the practical experience with
the negro on the farm, working with
him side by side in the field with hoe
or at the pillow handle, and through all
the various functions of life in which
the negro is called into play, we have
long since realized that the best solution
of the negro problem is to let the negro
alone. We should give him every chance
and opportunity to grow up, and on this
we may reproduce the words of a critic
in the Medical Brief in terse and
interesting article on "Oil and Water
VIII not Mix" in which he says:
he Americanism of the negro is
only skin deep. He is a good initator,
but Anglo-Saxon manhood is something
he knows nothing about. The kindest
thing we can do for the negro is to let
him alone. Give him a chance to grow
up. Let him acquire the fundamental
virtues. Let him learn to be steady,
honest, sober, thrifty, self-controlled.
owner Let him set himself to
climb the old, old ladder to advance
n1ent and he will cease to be problem.
Nothing can be done for the race, every
thing is possible to the individual black
man.
"The doctor, from the standpoint of
scientist and biologist, can endorse the
truth of this. He knows, if no one else
does, that the negro is likely to suffer
more from his so-called friends than he
ever can from the hands of those who
understand him.

the Russian ambassador, called at the

terview with Secretary Hay, in which
the whole Manchurian matter Is under
stood to have been frankly discussed
The discussion throughout was of the
mosct amicable and and satisfactory
character. The japanese minister, Mr.
Takihari, called later. and he also dis.
cussed Manchuria. The Japanese are
finding much comfort in Ambassador
McCormicks dispatch from St Peters:

improper purposes as to Manchuria.

It costs no more to have good station
Try for your business than the poor kind.
The good kind is the kind we do,
LET US TRY IT.

The Caucasian is pleased to endorse
the article following, which is clipped
from the Homer Guardian Journal.
THE ballot is the best method of
electing public officers, and why should
it not also be the best method of nomi-
mating them? The ballot places every
voter upan an equality and the voice of
one is as potent as that of any other.
It gives every candidate a fair chance
and every voter fair chance All cam
didates could be chosen by direct vote
of the members of the party as well as
elected by a direct vote of the people in
the general election. Primaries are ufl-
der the protection of the law. And in
this State the nominations of the Demo-
cratic party are equivalent to election,
and therefore should be made by direct
vote of the rank and file of the party.
There are no objections to primaries
which will not apply with equal or great
er force to other methods of making
nominations. Persons not members of
the party may not participate in the pri-
maries to some extent, but such persons
can also participate in mass meetings and
even as delegates to nominating con-
ventions.
primaries can be safeguarded just
as well as any other method, and, on the
whole, it is decidedly the best and fair
est method. There will be no population
basis Of representation in primary, and
any Democrat in the State will be equal
to any other Democrat in the State, no
matter in how large a negro parish he
may reside. This method has been adopt
ed in South Carolina, Alabama, Arkan-
sas, Mississippi and other Southern
States, and has worked well and given
satisfaction. It brings the candidates out
in the open on their merits, and destroys

FThe Yellowstone Park Is sonnet thing
absolutely unique in this world. No.
where else in any civilized country is
there to be found such a tract Of YER
liable wonderland, where at the same
time not only the scenery of wilder
ness, but the wild creatures of the Park
are scrupulously preserved as they
were, the only change being that these
same wild creatures have been so care
fully protected as TO show literally
tameness. This Park was created
and now is administered for the bene-
tit and enjoyment OF the people. The
only way that the people as whole
can secure to themselves and their
children the enjoyment in perpetuity
OF what Yellowstone Park has TO
give is by assuming the ownership in
name of the nation, and by jealousy
safeguarding and preserving the seem
cry, the forests, and the creatures.
At present. it is rather singular that
greater number of people come from
Europe than come from our own East
ern States to see it,

They We're not allowed to enter the
enclosure until after the races were
over The gates were all guarded and
the constables made no show of force
When the constables did come in they
got into a brief fight with Pinkerton
men, but the disturbance attracted
little attention The warrants were
served quietly and bonds were fur
nished at once. The cases were set
for July II by Justice Branwell,, who
was at the track. No warrants were
served on officials of the track.
