An exciting campaign has just
ended in Mississippi. The chief in
terest was 10 the nomination of d
candidate for Governor. Two pri-
maries were required to determine
the matter, and Maj.y vardaman is
the nominee. His platform was
"The white people of the State
have impoverished themselves in
trying to educate both races, and
now the colored race must educate
their children as the white race have
educated them. No limit will be
placed on their material prosperity,
but they must pay their teachers and
educate their own children"
Maj. Vardaman's majority was
nearly eight thousand. He ran for
Governor once before on the same
platform, but was badly defeated. 1t
is said that tho action of President
Roosevelt in the matter of the
Indianola post Office had much to do
with Vardaman's success. The vote
is a protest against the social-equality
ideas of the President, and means
that Mississippi resents the injustice
done her.
Mississippi has taken the lead in
this matter and other States will fol-
low. The experiment of educating
negroes has had a fair trial. The peo-
pie of the South have taxed them
selves to the limit to help the race
along and no good has come from it.
According to our last calculation
the white people of South Carolina
pay 30 dollars in taxes to public edu-
cation where negroes pay but one.
When the money is apportioned
that difference does not exist, and
for years the white people have paid
twenty-nine times their share to edu-
cate the negroes. This point has
been made before and several times
an effort has been made to effect
just division of the taxes, but failed
as it did at first in Mississippi.
The next effort we make will be sue
cessful.
When South Carolina redeemed
herself in 1876 it was the Mississippi
plan that did the work, and there
will be another deliverance if we
take the road marked out by Missis-
sippi.
Georgia has spent millions on negro
education only to turn out genera
tion of sneak thieves and vagrants
who have to be curbed by excessively
stringent vagrancy laws. Money
spent for negro education has been
spent in vain.
There are people in South Caro-.
lima who believe in continuing the
present system of dividing the taxes.
What the great Napoleon said about
Martinique is applicable in this case.
Speaking of the emancipation of the
negroes there, he said, "Few persons
were in situation to foresee the
consequence at the time, but for
any one to persist in these principles
is to show want of good faith; it
is mere pride and hypocrisy" He
continued, 81 am for the whites be-
cause l am white, and it is quite
evident that those who propose the
emancipation of the blacks must
wish for the slavery of the whites"
No one wishes to deny all aid to
the colored people in the educational
line, but the inequality between the
amount of taxes paid and the benefits
received is too great to be continued. I.

A Newspapers Revenge.

Iowa Falls, Iowa, September EVERY
newspaper man in the country will watch
with much interest the action Of we'll
known Northern Iowa editor in Offering
at an auction sale the accounts of his de-
linquent Subscribers. This action, which
is but one of number of similar
character the editor proposes to hold, is
fully advertised in the paper, giving the
names and amounts to be offered for
sale. The author of this unique idea is
Editor e. N. Bailey, of The Britt
Tribune. MIR. Bailey, having advertised
the first bunch of delinquents, will pro.
ceed with the sale of the accounts to the
highest bidder. The accounts, as ad-
vertised, embrace people living in States
and Territories from Minnesota to the
gulf and AZ far east as Wisconsin, and
the accounts range from a few dollars to
as high rs $25.
Wide publicity is given the accounts
before they are offered at the auction
block, and some accounts against we'll
known residents in Northern Iowa are
sure to be knocked down to successful
bidders at marked discount.

Bible Texts for all saoods.

Bible texts and references are put
to practical uses these days by the
practical religioaists, who believe
in the continual association Of worldly
and spiritual ideas. The advertising
man, too, is beginning to adopt and
employ Biblical illusions and sug-
gestions as means Of driving home
the wedge of his aggressive thought.
Occasionally the methods followed
are even more direct. This ls the
manner in which the recent advcr-
tiselnent of certain Hyde Park
printing house, neatly printed and
arranged as a bookmark, is insured
at least careful and respectful treat
ment at the hands of the Bible low
ing individuals to whom it is lavishly
sent out.
"What to Read," the clever little
document is headed, and the good
advice given below follows:
eff you have the blues, read the
twenty-first Psalm.
eff your poclset-book is empty,
read the thirty-seventh Psalm.
eff the people seem mkind, read
the fifteenth chapter of John.
elf you are discouraged about
your work, read the one hundred and
twenty. y.sixth Psalm.
eff you are all out of sorts, read
the twelfth chapter of Hebrews.
eff you can't have your own way
in everything, keep silent and
read the third chapter of James.
eff you are losing confidence in
men, read the thirteenth chapter of
First Corinthians.
"This bookmark," the document
continues, "will help you to find the
place to get your printing DONE"
And the address and further adver-
tisement of the firm, fat6ering the
unique slip of paper, follows.
The entire bookmark will be read,
as rule, however, before this adver-
tisement is discovered, ard few peo-
pie will care to throw away or de-
stroy slip so full of Scriptural
hints or suggestions.
