SOUND FACTS AND SENSIBLE AD-
 VICE. From n Negro President of a Texas
 COIlege.

NeW 1OTk POSI.
 To the Editor of The Evening Post.
 Sir: The people of the North do not come in close conta"' with the negro in sufficient numbers to know them as a race. I believe that the negro of the South will agree with me that the Northern man who lives In the South Is less tolerant of the negro than a Southern-born white man, and sees in him more to criticise and less to com mend. Social equality is not desired by either race in the South. The en- vironment. education, and conditions are such as to make 1t impossible. The North does not realize what a burden has been put upon the South. The coun- try was wasted in men and in property for four years. and for twenty years thereafter was in no condition to re- cover because of the instability of it's government and the tremendous diff faculties it had to encounter in the ad Justment of the negro question. The South has been purely agricultural country, and statistics show that there are more children in such communities in the more thickly settled manu- faoturing -sections-cUnseque there are more children to school. Take this fact in connection with two others namely. that schools have to be pro- Ytded for both races. and that the population is iwdely scattered and schools must be made up of small num- bers for conveniences' sake. and some idea of the Southern white mans bur den Is given. Nor is this all. In many States the population is evenly divided. and yet the white man has nracticallx the entire burden of govern.

At the beginning of his first campaign for the Presidency some of the Republican leaders were in favor of abandoning the fight in Indiana in order to concentrate on other States in which the chances for success seem cd to be better. The matter was final ly submitted to MT. Harrison, who promptly wrote a letter to the chair mittee saying that he would rather carry Indiana and be defeated than lose 1t and be elected.
 Again. when he was renominated for President, Mir. Harrison took the same position.

LETTER FROM LINDSAY.
Ex-Senator Discusses Platform and
 Ticket and Uurges Support.
Bowling Green (KyD specis

Bowling Green (Ky.) Special to Lex
 ington (Ky) Herald.
 Since the nomination of Parker and Davis as the Democratic candidates for President and Vice President, q great many people have been asking how former United States Senator William Lindsay, now of New York city. would vote. TO this end, Hon, James C. Sims of this city, q personal friend. directed q letter to the Sena and the platform. Like the New York lawyer, Slr. Sims was a gold standard Follower, and neither supported Bryan or free silver. Today MT. Sims re eelNed the following reply from Judge
 New York, August l, 1904. Hon: James c. Sims, Bowling Green, Kentucky:
 My Dear sims;-Your kind letter has been received, l am taking no part in current politics. but do not hesi- tate to reply to your inquiries.
 The canvass has not progressed far enough to warrant an expression of opinion as to the prospects for the election of the Democratic Presidential ticket. In the East thora ore certai~. iy evidences of greater DSmocTatic 't1ir har. mony, and of more pronounced Pc. publican dissatisfaction than have " isted at any time within the last ten years.
 While portion of tho St. Louis plat. form relating to measures of temnc rary expediencv might well have bacp omitted and while it would have been gratifying if it had contained n formal acceptance of the result of the recent contest over the free coinage of silver presents in clear and unmistakable language the principles of Jeffersonian Democracy.

DE SENECTuTE.

Roots unmannerly attack upon ex- Senator Davis as an old man has been | received with a widespread disapprov- al which while not surprising, is grat- flying. It looks as if Root had noth- ing to say to nothing. his own candi- dat te, and chose to travel out of his way to belittle the West Virginia states man. MT. Davis's age, no one would be idle enough to pretend. is a matter for congratulation in a candidate, but in discussing 1t, surely one is called upon to exhibit common decency and fairness. By the testimony of all his friends, of casual acquaintances and of strangers to him who have seen him, he is wonderfully well-preseved man apparently not over 60 years of age. Roosevelt's spurts about the suburbs of Washington. are as nothing com pared to this old gentlemnn's 500 miles Of rough exploration through the path less mountains of West Virginia, and this was accomplished recently. He has shown by his lively and continuous application to the business in hand, by day and nght. at the St. Louis Conven- tion, later in New York and still later at his own State Convention, that he can hold his own with the sprightliest youngsters in politics. In the argu-
 ment of the ex-Secretary of War. the Vice-Presidency has suddenly become one of the most laborious under the Constitution, involving an outlook upon
 tedious and difficult public affairs. This is all nonsense and the public
 knows it. The one solid and irrefragable
 objection to the post. is that its occu- | pant is a presiding officer and nothng more. So far as familiarity with the business methods of the Senate are con- cerned. MT. Davis has had twelve years of experience in that body. and has been chairman of one of its greatest committees, that on Appropriations.
 That age has nothing whatever to do with the competence of the presiding officer is sufficiently attested by the case of Alabama's junior Senator. No man could possibly be more attentive to his work both in the committees and in the Senate. than General Pettus, yet it is well known he is Senator Frys favorite substitute for himself in the chair. It Is an authenticated fact that on one occason, the President pro tenn
 pore threatened the Senate publicly be- cause of an unnecessary lack of de-
 corum, that If order was not promptly
 restored. he would call the Senator
 from Alabama to the chair. Now our
 well-revered Senator is more than two years older than ex-Senator Davis.
 l Some of our contemporaries are dig
 ging up examples in the past of aged
 but active men, sage of Venice who
 at 90 stormed. and took Constantino-
 pie; Hobbes. the philosopher. who was
 as lively as a cricket at S6, and died
 at 91, and so on. This hardly seems
 worth while. The Democratic candI-
 date will be too well known, before the canvass progresses. for even ex-Secre-
 tary Root to deplore the prospects of
 his success, because of his S1 years. He has enormous staying power and
 the whole country will become con- vinced of the fact. Attacks made on him on the score of age will only re- coil as Roots has recoiled.

PuN1snrxe INTERPRETERS.

I
 Modern humanity revolts at the whip but there are cases where it really seems that no other punishment ex- actly fits. Recently a man was up be- fore a Police Justice in Washington on the charge of wife-beating. The Jus tice sentenced him to pay fine of s25 or spend three months in jail. and on pronouncing the sentence he added: If every wife-beater was horse-whip- ped good and hard there would be more happy homes." Commenting on this, The Washington Star says:
 Had that wife-beater been taken, to the jail or workhouse and trussed to post and whipped good and hard, received just dues and without pass ing the punishment down the line to his wife and children. It Is true he might try to take it out" on her later but she would. at least. have her chance prospect of his receiving a harder pun ishment. He would run his own risk These Police Court fines often serious ly disarrange the finances of the hum- bier homes in the District.
 The great hardship in punishment of the kind inflicted in this case is that the wife and children-if there are children-pay the penalty at last. If the man In this case is poor. one of tive things must result: the family must be stinted. probably to the point of suffering. to raise the money to pay the fine, or else they must provide for themselves during the imprison- ment of the man. Even a wife-beater may provide food and clothing for his family, and in his absence all the labor and hardship may fall on the wife, while the husband Is being fed by the State. Is not the wife doubly pun ished in such a case?
 AS already remarked, present-day hu- manity revolts at the idea of seeing a nan publicly whipped. but, as The Sac ramento Bee says, tine -nine- tails should be regarded as a compliment to any low wretch who would strike a woman, and especially to the con- temptible brute who would beat his wife," Whether the recipient of the loshing would regard it as a compli- ment may be a matter of doubt. but if he is of a refiecting mind he would admit that he is merely getting a dose of his own medicine, and If he Is any thing of a humorist he must feel a grim amusement at having the joke turned against him. old John Tobin, in his poem called The Honeymoon, written century or more ago. says: ''rhe man that lays his hand upon a Save in the way of kindness, is a Whom 'twere gross fattery to name a
 coward"
 Perhaps, after all, the objection to the whiping-post Is one of sentiment l. is argued that such punishment Is degrading. but if the same man Is sent enced to hard labor and forced to put on stripes and consort with thieves and murderers, is he not degraded? Much as we might argue against such a mode of punishment we are persuaded that if 1t should be made universal the wife beating style of amusement would be very unpopular among the brutes who resort to 1t.

Some prominent men have much to learn about the South and the people of the South. as well as of the prevail ing conditions down here. Here. for example. is Hon. Joseph Chamberlain asserting in the English House of Com mons that white laborers would not work with black laborers on equal terms Although he was discussing the question of labor in South Africa his remarks were broadly general. and apply as well to the Southern United States as to any other region.
 If MT. Chamberlain would come to this country-to Montgomery, as an example-he would see whites and blacks. mechanics as well as common laborers, working side by side on equal terms, in thorough amity and concord, and nothing thought of it by our peo- pie When the days work is over the equality ceases, but they certainly work together without friction or trouble MT. Chamberlain needs to inform him self.

1IC tSlCcHAC0 LOA VI DAoPotSh evolves this from some portion of it's internal economy:
 standard as irrevocably fixed by law, but the majority of Democrats are still ready to change the law and would be liable to do so should they secure the power.
 With due respect we must remind The Dispatch that it is not stating facts. It is not true that a majority of Democrats want to disturb the pres ent standard. It Is not true that even a large minority of them would do SO. There are yet few who have either failed to learn anything. or who pride themselves on what they call consist ency. and who would, if they had the power, repudiate the gold standard, but there are not enough of them to cre- ate a ripple. The financial affairs of the Government would be much safer in the hands of Democrats than they now are, for there would not be so much reckless waste and expenditure under Democratic rule as there has been unueT lle pISSSht dutIlIuiSlId d. tion.
 The Dispatch has fallen into the somewhat common rut travelled by so many Republican organs which appear to think that q majority of voters are guns to be caught by such substitutes for arguments as 1t advances. A few Republican papers have too much sense and fairness to indulge in that style of clap-trap, but others can think of nothing better. A majority of Dem ocrats are today in thorough accord with Judge Parker on the money ques- tion, and if they had absolute control there would be no free coinage or oth- CT idiotic legislation. Let The Dispatch confine itself to the malodorous and dSreputable record of its own Party in Pennsylvania if 1t wants to keep busy.
