QUITE II D/EFERENCE.

Opponents of the primary
plan see a similarity in the ar
guments offered by the ad-
vocates of that method of nom
ination and the reasons given by
Crumpacker in his efforts to cut
down the representation of the
South. We do not think that
all advocates of a primary have
any objection to the population
basis. That is fundamental
principle of our system of
government. Population is
properly recognized in this
State as the just basis of legis-
lative representation. Each
parish in Louisiana is repre-
scented in the State Legislature
according to it's population.
The representation of Tensas in
the General Assembly is based
upon the population accredited
to that parish by the census.
That is eminently fair and
equitable.
But while population is con
cededly the just basis Of repre-
sentation in any branch of the
government, it by no means
follows that it should be &C
copied as basis of represen-
tation in Democratic conven-
tions. The Gazette has really
no serious objection to the en-
joyment by Tensas parish of its
present influence in Democratic
councils. TensaS has earned all
of it and more too. We would
not take away from that rock
ribbed community the power
which it has always used intel
1igently and discreetly. Demo
crat should never forget Tensas'
reassuring voice in the troublous
times. But our convention
friends should not chide is with
the intimation that if we ask
that Democrats only should
have voice in Democratic
nominations we are giving help
to Crumpacker, the South $
most virulent foe. That is not
the case. What is the natural
basis of representation in govern
ment is not necessarily the cor
rect basis for partisan nomina-
ting bodies. But, we repeat,
that if we are to have a conven-
ton the population basis suits

The Fruit of ROOSeVrlt'$
Policy

"A ~" NtSS $ASoo AS<eAA>A>~'A
Sullivan, negro, employed as
an elevator conductor in the
Geological Survey Building at
Washington, was suspended for
| writing a note to a white lady
also employed in the building as
a clerk, asking for her address,
and saying that he had some
thing on his mind which he
wished to communicate" When
taken to task he said that he
could not be suspended for
merely writing a note "such as
any gentleman might send to a
lady,"
We are informed that the
affair caused the most intense
indignation in the department,
but we can not understand why
it should have raised fumpuS
in view Of the Presidents open
recognition. of the negro as
political and social equal.
Under the circumstances it is
not surprising that the negro
Sullivan should have written a
note to a white woman, because
he had been taught by the
President to consider himself in
every respect the equal of
white person. Mr.. Roosevelt
was responsible for the negro's
offense, and if he is the real
friend and protector of the
African race he pretends to be
he will not permit Sullivan to be
suspended.
When the President invited
Booker Washington to the White
House and to a seat at his family
table, the act was tantamOunt to
a notification to the country that
the negroes should be accepted
as the socia! and political equals
Of the whites. and out of this has
grown the turbulent spirit the
negroes are manifeSting in
nearly every State of the Union.
The president policy has done
much to encourage the new ne
gro's crime,' lynchings and race
riots. Mr.. Roosevelt has ex-
planned that he invited Booker
Washington to dine with him be-
cause Booker was a gentleman
and entirely worthy to sit at
table with the president or any
body else. The negro Sullivan
also claims to be a gentleman
and holds that the note he wrote |
to the white woman was such |
as any gentleman might write to
a lady, If the president is con-
sistent he will not allow negro |
employees of the government to
be punished for taking special
liberties that would not be con-
demned in white man, for has
he not declared that there should |
not be any discrimination against
them on account of race, color
or previous condition of servi-
tude. 1t is clearly the duty of
the president to stand by Sulli-
van and see that he is reinStated !

THINKS HE'S PARALYZED
John Spain Determined to Get Into
the City HOSPITAL.

City Physician II. S. Nelson has de-
ctared war on Spain John Spain lives at
"a Seventh street S. and he has made
four Intellectual attempts to break into
the city hospital. City Physician Nelson
insists that Spain hasn't the qualifica tons
necessary for entrance, and has issued Or
ders to all attendants to stand by and
repel the unwelcome visitor every time
he demands adnittance Spain insists
that he is paralyzed, but DR.. Nelson de-
clares that his particular form Of paral-
ysis is that which comes from too great
an Indulgence in drink.
On an emergency call Spain was first
brought to the hospital. AS ne was able
to walk and appeared otherwise able
bodied, the doctor was convinced upon
discovering whisky flask in his pocket he
was really suffering from alcoholism.
Rather than turn him over to the police
DR.. Nelson allowed the man to go with a
warning not to try the dodge again.
| Life at the hospital is evidently allur-
ing to Spain, for three tiAdes since the
wagon has answered a hufTy-up call to
Seventh street to look after paralysis
case, only to find that foxy Mr.. Spain was
still returning to the attack.
