DESERVES CORDIAL CO-OPERA
TTON.

The difference between DR.. Lyman
Abbott and Senator Plat is that the
learned doctor has visited the South
with a view to studying the attitude of
the Southern people and the practical
operation of the suffrage laws. If
Senator Plat has visited the South at
all it has been to hurry through to
Florida in search of a milder climate,
and if he has studied the suffrage
question at all it has been from the
standpoint of the Republican politi-
clan who wishes to see all the ne
groes vote the Republican ticket. In
recent issue of the Outlook, not dis
cussing the matter of reducing South
ern representation, but discussing
american Traditions and American
Ideals" DR.. Abbott says
''Six of the Southern States have re-
Gently changed their constitutions
Louisiana Alabama, Mississippi,
North Carolina, South Carolina and
Virginia. | shall not stop 10 speak of
the temporary provisions in these Con-
situations which. except in North Caro-
lima, have now all ceased TO be oper-
ative; but under the permanent pro-
visions any man, black or white, is
entitled to vote, if he can read the
English language, own three hundred
dollars worth of property and pays
his poll tax. CThe so-called under
standing clause does not require the
applicant to read and understand, but
allows him to vote If he can either
read or understand. Under this clause,
in some sections, negroes as Wen as
white men, have been registered, al
though they could not read Yet
men call that DISTINGUISHING the ne
gro. Some say the law is not justly
enforced. In some sections Oh Tue
South it is not. But If law is I'M
Justly enforced, the remedy IS TO en-
force it. If a law is UNJUST the refne-
DIV is to repeal it. | believe IN the
honest endeavor of the great majority
of the Southern people 10 provide such
conditions of the suffrage as snail
limit it to men who have Sufhclent IN
telligence to understand the language
of the country they live in as 1t IS put
before them in type, enough Oh the
elemented virtues of industry, non
estv. temperance and thrift to have
laid by three hundred dollars worth
of property, and sufficient patriotism
to pay their poll tax, which never ex-
ceeds three dollars year. Ihat en-
deayor should have not our grudgnS
and reluctant acquiescence, but our
cordial and hearty Endorsement.
The distinguished clergyman is
right in saying that the South should
have not our (Northern) grudging
and our reluctant acquiescence, but
our cordial and hearty Endorsement IN
the grave and difficult problems that
the South is honestly and patriotically
trying to solve. Senator Platt ana
others who hold his view should heed
DR.. Abbott's words and should read
and follow the advice contained IN
Henry Grady's great Boston speech.
We need the help. the sympathy ana
patience of every American TO work
out the problem. Restrictions and re-
taliatory or vindictive measures serve
only TO aggravate situation calling
for time and patience and hearty IN
dorsement" of the plans that will work
out best for the negro, the white man,
the South and the whole country.

SHOULD BE GIVEN POWER.

The best recommendation in the
Presidents message is to confer on the
Interstate Commerce Commission
1.-The power to revise rates and regu-
lations. the revised rate at once TO go
into effect, and to stay in effect unless
and until the court of review re-
verses il"
Ten years ago the great railroad
officials declared that the day of high
freight rates had forever passed, and
that rates would go lower and lower,
and they gave sound reason for that
prediction. And yet, within the past
two years freight rates have been ad-
vanced until they are burdensome 10
commerce and manufacturing ana
the business men and consumers
have no remedy unless authority
TO fix rates is conferred on the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
That body now, to quote Senator
Quarles, of Wisconsin, is "a cripple,
commissioned to find fault, but With
out power to remedy the defects that
dates. In this condition it has eX-
cited sympathy in some quarters and
ridicule in others by its abortive efforts
to curb railway evils"
1t ought to be given the same powers
as have been conferred upon the Cor
poration Commission of North caro-
lima. OF course, it will be argued that
to confer such power would give au-
thority to the Commissioners to make
such rates as could confiScate rail-
road property. That was the argu-
ment made in North Carolina. What
railroad property has been confis-
Gated here? With honest men in
office. so conservative does power
make good men, that no railroad
has ever had just complaint, While
the people have often been denied
reductions to which they were entitled
oat of a serious desire not to impose
heavy burdens upon corporations.
The crying need of legislation in
America today if commerce and man.
ufacturing are not to be crippled by
heavy transportation taxation, is to
give the Interstate Commerce Com
mission power to fix and regulate rates.
We have little hope of seeing 1T done
by this Congress, for too many rail-
road lawyers and free pass toters
have been elected to Congress. They
will not fight it openly, but will be
glad to side-track the just demand of
the business world.
