Those who had come to believe
that the South is now the friend
of popular education will be dis
appointed on reading the recent
inaugural address of Governor
Vardaman, Of Mississippi, in
which he charged that education
has no deterrent influence upon
the black race in the commission
of crime, and that the Negro
grows more criminal as he be-
comes more intelligent. The ex-
clusion of the black voter from
the right of suffrage seems TO be
his ulterior motive, for he at
ternpts to find some moral sane
tion for the restrictive legislation
along that line both in his own
and other Southern States. In
striking at the black man, how
ever, he aims a blow at an insti-
