that politics demoralizes them.
Il speak OF the President of
the United States with greatest
respect, as all should. I criti-
else his public acts, because his
acts and his speeches go from
one end of the country to the
other, and determine foreign af
fairs:
1.-The white men of the South,
the reputable men of that Sec
ton, and the thoughtful men of
the North know that no greater
crime was ever perpetrated on
this country than the enfran-
chisement of the negro.
THE Supreme Court of the
United States, which is composed
almost exclusively of Republi-
cans, recognize that the safety
of the home, the prosperity of
the South. demanded that the
organic laws of the Southern
States must be changed so that
the negro should not be gifted
with authority which he did not
know how to use.
with an impetuOSity hardly
worthy of a youth in a small
community, the President sud
denly brought to the front
this race question. which the
people were settling quietly and
orderly, by inviting Booker
Washington to dine with him in
the White House. This act was
interpreted by the whole colored
race as meaning not only political
but social equality of the two
races. 1t now cOnfrOnts us to
deal with this question.
The President of the United
States invited the Republican
candidate for Governor of Mary
land to dine with him, and to
occupy the1ame seat which was
probably occupied by Booker T.
Washington.
Il tell you that no liberty, no
safety remains when you have a
dictator or a car or an emperor
in Washington, who can send for
Maryland Republicans and tell
them to harmonic their differ
ences, to bring the negroes to
the polls, to sustain him in his
effort to establish social equality
of the two races"

Captain James A. Moss Selected
On His Record.

Captain James Alfred Moss,
Twenty-fourth Infantry, has
been detailed to serve as Aid-de-
camp on the staff of Major Gen
eral Corbin, when the latter as
sumes command of the Depart
ment of the East, next Monday.
Captain Moss is a native of
Louisiana and was appointed to
Westpoint from that State. The
Evening Star, recognized here
as the Administration organ,
says this evening regarding the
appointment in a display article:
This detail was made by the
Secretary of War, at the request
of General Corbin, and was
based entirely upon the eff
cheney record of Captain Moss,
which is one of the best on file
in the Department. General
Corbin has no personal acquaint-
ance with Captain Moss beyond
a casual meeting on official bust
ness, several years ago. AL
though entitled to three aids,
General Corbin has decided to
try to get along with one, and
for that reason asked for the
best one he could find.''
Captain Moss is native of
Louisiana, and was graduated
from the Military Academy in
the Glass of 1894. For four
years he was attached to the
Twenty fifth Infantry, and for
two years to the Twenty-fourtb
Infantry. From March, 1900, to
February, 1901, he served as
Regimental Commissary, and
after a few months service with
the Twenty-seventh Infantry he
was transferred back to the
Twenty-fourth Infantry. In the
sum mer of 1897 he commanded
a bicycle expedition from Fort
Missoula, Mont, to St. Louis,
and in May, 1898, he was on de-
tached service, conveying the
first Spanish prisoners of war
from Key West to Fort Me-
Pherson, Ga.
He participated in the cam
paign of Santiago de Cuba, and
was recommended for a brevet
of Captain for skill, efficiency
and bravery at Ell Caney and
throughout the campaign. In
the spring of 1899 he was on de-
tached service in com mand of
the troops guarding the Sequoia
and the General Grant National
Parks, and in the following sum-
mer accompanied his regiment
to the Philippines, where he
served creditably until July,
1902, when he returned to the
United States. He was with
General Lawton on his last
march, and participated in the
capture of Arayat. He reached

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1908.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 81, 1913.
Judge Allen Barksdale of
Lincoln parish, has announced
his candidacy for lieutenat-gov-|
ernor to be submitted to the
primary in January. Judge
Barksdale stands with the other
candidates for State Offices in
their opposition to the appoint
i've system. Concerning bosses"
about whom so much is being
said by General Jastremski and
his supporters, the Judge holds
cOmmonsense views. He says
in his announcement.
Il am going into the cam
prign,'' said Judge Barksdale,
when seen in his room at the
Hotel Denechaud, without ref
erence to any other candidate
for any position, and I intend to
make my own fight, as I have
done in my district affairs, with
out bothering about other candi-
dates or bothering them unless
they bother me. There is no
reason why primary should
not be conducted that way. I
expect to go to the barbecue to
which all candidates are invited
and to urge my views and claims
upon the people.
I am opposed to the appointive
power of the Governor, because
it is responsible for what we call
the boss and I want to see
greater percentage of the gen.
eral educational fund devoted to
the common school.
Il have no quarrel with any
parish leader or Orleans ward
president. Personally they are
very much like any other men.
Politically they are the result of
a bad system. Nor have I any
quarrel with any candidate be-
cause he has the support of
party leaders. I'd be grateful
to any city or country leader
who thought well enough of me
to throw his influence to me.
It is not against a man that he
has some political am bition. The
Governor can not appoint all the
officers whose duty it is for him
to appoint under the present
laws and Constitution without
seeking advice. It is the men to
whom he turns for this advice
wnom we call bosses. He nat
urally seeks the advice of some
man of local prominence, and
that man gives his advice, ap-
pointments follow and the basis
of so-called 'bossism' is laid.
Iwant every public officer who
can be elected to be elected. It
may be that some of the unpaid
administrative offices were filed
by appointment. In such in
stances it can do no harm for the
appointive power to be undis
turbed, but I believe that every
salaried officer (from Governor to
constable) should be elected by
the people after being nominated
by direct primary. Especially
do wish the people to have the
selection of school boards, for
throughout this State to-day no
question is of greater Importance
than public education, and in
most of the parishes the people
voluntarily taxing themselves
additionally for the benefit of the
schools.
It may be that on account of
local conditions it would be bet
ter to leave in the Governors
hands, so far as New Orleans is
concerned. the filing of some
positions which could be better
filed by election in the country.
In that event, Orleans parish
excepted could be written into
constitutional amendments and
Legislative enactments, providing
for tho o1oofiOr, conceivable ~ I'll
