BRAVE SOUTHERN JUDGE.

Boston Advertiser.

Boston Advertiser.
From Mississippi. where the negro was
first disfranchised, comes a most healthy
and vigorous note. which the Southern peo-
pie may well hear. Judge Powell in re-
Gently charging a grand jury to act vigor-
ously for the suppression of whitecapping
which has been rampant in the black belt,
speaks with a frankness and sanity which
reveals his intimate knowledge of the con-
dtions at home. Says Judge Powell:
I'VE of the white race have all the Of
and the negro is simply the creature of
our mercy. 1t strikes me that for us to
oppress.. where We should protect. to de-
base, where we should lift up, is humanity
and unworthy of the proud race to which
We belong.
II confess that / can't understand this
foolish hostility to the negro. He is here
without his consent, and here undoubtedly
he must remain in large numbers. He has
been eliminated by Constitution and
laws from all political control. He asks
the poor privilege of working for his daily
bread in peace, and to indulge the hope
that the coming years may bring some
thing better to his posterity.
Let 1t be understood once and for all
that no man or set of men are so powerful
that the strong arms of the law cannot
reach them, or so lowly that the broad
shield of the law cannot protect them. Let
us not hamper our State in a struggle for
industrial development by terrorizing cap
ital and forbidding emigration"
Eliminating all questions to the merits
of negro disfranchisement. Judge Powell
speaks as man to men. Nothing has so
discouraged emigrat ton to the South as
the Southerners' treatment of the negroes
And Judge Powell In his appeal shows that
the realization of this is penetrating the
length and breadth of the Southland
More Booker Washingtons are needed for
the negro; more Judge Powells for the
white people
How like Booker Washington sounds this
sentence from the Mississippi Judge:
THE negro asks not for social recogni-
ton. He only asks for the poor privilege
OF working for his daily bread"
The voice of Judge Powell is the voice of
Grady speaking down the years.

lily of composers and was the author of
several successful operas, is dead. For the
half an hour before he passed away his
son sat at the bedside and played the dy-

list was playing simple folk song, with a
gentle harmony and plaintive melody, his
father raised his head from the pillow and
reached out as If to take the instrument
from the hands Of the player. Then he
sank back again on the bed dead. Pneu-
