with what is best in the manhood
and womanhood of the South.
We are quick to resent as an
insult any trangressiOn of the
lines of racial demarcation at
the North; and it is, to say the
least, very inconsistent in us
to encourage at home what we
find so reprehensible in our
neighbors.
But even so enlightened a
journal as The Times Democrat
may be mistaken and should not
be too severely censured, parti-
cularly when it is disposed to
acknowledge that it was on the
wrong side of the question.
AS much as possible separate
accom- mOdations should be pro
vided for each race in all public
places. This will not only pre-
vent trouble, but it will teach a
powerful lesson to the growing
generation, which, reared under
such wholesome influences will
have greater respect for the
laws of God and man which i'm
pose upon the white race a de-
cent regard for its integrity and
purity.
The Gazette, in common with
its readers, feels that the judG-
mcnt of the Supreme Court de-
claring the legality of the Wilson
law is an important victory and
one which is calculated to do
much good.

II NOTABLE SPEECH.

Edward M. Sheppard, who
made such good race for the
mayoralty of Greater New York
against the present incum bent,
had occasion to deliver an adj
dress a few days ago at a ban
quet given in Chicago, in cele-
bration of Jackson Day.
Mr.. Sheppard's speech was OF
necessity brief one, neverthe-
less it is replete with sound
Democratic doctrines.
The sentiments therein eX-
pressed cannot even be sus-
pected of socialistic tendencies
nor does he hesitate to denounce
governmental measures sub
serving special privileges. He
recognizes the giant contest
waging between trusts and
trades unions, and shows how
the Democratic party on the one
hand renounces the idea Of linn
iting individual wealth as per
nicious dream" and on the other
hand how it cannot be but loyal
to the wage-earners, composed
as it is largely of laborers.
Upon the mooted tariff issue,
he makes the conservative sug-
gestion that the Democratic
party deal only with the few
schedules in which great for
tunes have been amassed, re-
moving to a revenue basis the
duties on those goods. the man.
ufacture of which is monopolized.
After clearly showing the in
consistency of the publican
party in it's financial policy, and
denouncing the unwise and I'M
policy of the admins
trations of Mckinley and Roose-
Welt in the virtual establishments
of colonies in the Philippines,
Mr.. Sheppard concludes by pro
posing the following program me
upon which the Democratic
party should make it's campaign:
''The establishment of equal rights: the
abolition OF special privileges; the mainte
nance OF Democratic self government The |
programme means resolute tariff reform, be-
ginning with the goods which have fallen
under monopoly; resolute and practical pre-
vention of interstate commerce preferences |
and abuses, rigorous reduction in cost of adj
the promotion of Philippine
'elf- government and independence, and the
provision of fair and secure normally dis
ributed currency by all banks which hold
banking charters from the government

TIE WILSON Law CONS
TTUZ/ON4Z.

The Times Democrat, which.
it will be remembered, was a
relentless opponent of the Will
son street car law, evinces little
sorrow over the recent decision
of the Supreme Court esta blish-
ing the constitutiOnality of that
act. On the contrary, The
Times-Democrat seems rather
pleased with the outcome of the
suit and intimates, if it does not
predict, that it will all be for
the best. No paper has made
an ADLER fight for the absolute
supremacy of the Caucasian in
the South than the Times-Demo-
crat and we are pleased to see
that it is inclined to undo the
harm which it may have done by
opposing so wholesome a piece
of legislation as the Wilson law
which provides for the separa-
ton of the races in street cars
The enemieso of this law employed
the most puerile sophistry to
bring it into popular contempt,
prophesying that it's enforce
ment would cause all kinds of
troub BILE. The arguments adj
were so ridiculous that |
they were believed to have been
inspired not by an honest oppo
sition to the measure, but by the
interests which con-
trOl the street car lines. Strange

That Race Question.


having an era of peace and
plenty and but for class of
meddlesome people up North,
natural laws would adjust and
regulate the race question.
The French Jacobins once
made the attempt at govern
mental interference in the pco-
pies business, with what re-
suits, history tells us, and few
pens are eloquent enough to de-
pict the horrors that then en-
sued
The Northern man thinks the
South barbaric, but fails to take
into account the despotic crime
which cleared the way to the full
filme1it of the conditions leading
to our so-called 'savagery.'
The civil war ended, the victors
brutally employed the ignorant,
credulous black man, bewildered
as he was by reason of his re-
cent and sudden accession to
freedom, as an instrument of
torture and punish ment and
humiliation for the South.
The Southern people, defeated
i'll war, but still proud in spirit,
stung by the wreck of their hopes,
borne down by the weight of the
iniquitous period OF reconstruct
ton, lost all confidence in any
justice. and we can but marvel
today that the South, gOaded on
by so much provocation, did be-
have with so much dignity and
self command.
Fifty or more years ago, the
relations of master and slave
were OF the kindeSt. The master
was an indulgent friend and the
slave a faithful servitor. Mis-
taken sentiment works more
harm to man than undue
severity. Sentimental consider
ations, up North. for the negro

IN ent to his crimes against the
white women of the South, and,
as by the memorable laws of ma
ture the transgreSSOr must suf-
fer that others may draw the
lesson that crime and punish
ment cannot be divorced, the
crimes Of lynchings such as
have thrilled all Christendom
with horror, unlleard Ct be
fore the war, ere the injudicious
lntermeddling of the North with
it's quac1 sentiment, came to be
a known quantity in the South.
And again, need we wonder,
that when the tide of passion,
Ong damned up, did come to
low out, the remem brance of
past injustice and wrongs, long
years Of dread, should at last
BRING forth an explosion of
wrath over the cause of so much
the fear of negro
and that the people
should resort to any and all
measures to avoid this ever pres
mt danger Of negro rule. Such
menace, once awakened, keeps
live the Cmbe of race hatred.
low can it be otherwise. Man
ears an evil that is continually
up before his eyes.

The Lafayette gazette. [volume] (Lafayette, La.) 1893-1921, 1903-03-21

The ullase of the Gar Of Rus
STA granting freedom of creed
and Of worship and also abolish
ing forced labor in the empire is
the greatest advance made in the
march of Democracy in the
world for q great length Of time.
That the light Of liberty should
have beamed SO strongly within
the boundaries of Russia, the
most hopeless home of despOtis m
and conservatism in all Europe,
is a hopeful and encouraging
omen to the lovers of the rights
of man. Even in this Republic,
which gave practical sanction to
the beautiful doctrine of the
equality of all mon enunciated by
the philosophers and dreamers
of France, it has become the
custom of a new school lightly to
brush aside all appeals made to
preserve constitutional guaran-
tees as the visionary illusions of
impractical theorists.
Besides the inestimable Dri-
vileges Of religious tolerance and
recognition of individual effort
the imperial ullase provides that
the provincial councils of the
peaSantry are encouraged to
express themselves publicly on
matters affecting the welfare of
the people.
That the freedom of men
should be granted as a privilege
by q munificent ruler is anomal-
GUS to our ides of government,
still it is an encouraging sign.
The peasantry of Russia, held
lnder the despotic sway of alb
sOlute mOnarchS for centuries,
Will learn to demand their rights,
ind thus will another step be
aiken in the progress of Demo-
,racy.

that in New York in 1892 fourteen per-
sons took their lives out Of 100000 III
babitants. In 1902 there We're twenty
two suicides in each 100000.
The rapid increase is in line with
tendency noticeable not only in cities
but also in rural districts i'll much the
larger part of the civilized world. 1t
has not gone so far as yet in New
York. however. as to bring the annual
suicide late to as high point as is
rea ched H. come European cities.
In DiesGen, for instance, the rate is
81 per 100000 inhabitants. In Paris
it is AZ in Berlin, sc; in Vienna IS;
in Stockholm, 27; in London, %. The
lowest rates reported from any of the
large European cities are from Lisbon
and Madrid. with only two and three
suicides per 100000 per annum, re-
spectively.
The statistics showing the increase
in the rate the main European
countries are very significant. In
France, for instance, as against l5.7

years ago the rate is now 22.4. In Ger
