HE HAD TO HURRY.
Why the President Named Judge
Pritchard and So Quickly.

The action OF President Roosevelt IN
naming Hon. Jeter G. Pritchard for
United states circuit judge before the
funeral of Judge simonton had been
held. is due chiefly to the fact that Con-
rress was on the very eve OF adjourn
ment and that 1t was necessary TO secure
confirmation of the nomination hefore
the senate adjourned. Certainly It would
be very embarrassing to name judge
in vacation OF Congress and leave the
matter of his confirmation In doubt Tor
months to come. That is why the notili-
nation was sent in SO quickly
The chief reason for the selection OF
Judge Prltchard is that. being an ex-
senator, there was better prospect OF
Ills confirmation without delay. than o.
any other man who might pc named

The White Mans Obligation.

Professor S. C. Mitchell, Of Richmond
College, who Is always entertaining be-
cause he is both learned and sincere, de-
livered a noble address yesterday be-
fore the Southern Conference for Educa-
tion i'll Birmingham on the race ques-
ton His address is printed elsewhere
and speaks for itself. He says that there
are two elements in the South, the one
represented by Governor yardaman, OF
Mississippi, who would keep the negro in
subsection, and the other represented by
such men as Governor Montague, Of Vir-
glnia and Governor Aycock. of North
Carolina, who would give the negro Il
fair chance to educate himself and to
improve his condition. Professor Mitchell
II takes the optimistic view and thinks that
the class represented by Aycoclt and
Montague is the dominant class. We re-
gret to say that we cannot concur in that
view. We have been slow to reach the
conclusion but 1t has become with us
conviction that most white people in
the South. and for that matter in all
sections, arc opposed to educating the
negro, because they believe that the ne
gro wag made to be slave to the white
man, and that he ought not to be cdu-
Gated out of that condition. They would
educate him to be a good servant, but
nothing more.

Of them go step farther and say that
1T is wrong to educate the negro for a
position in trade or in business or IN
professions, which ho cannot occupy With
out elhowing the white man. Nobody adj
4vocates slavery as It. existed before the
war, but all these oppositlonists would
keep the negro in subsection and In a con-
dition OF virtual slavery to tho white
man.
For our part we think that slavery as
practiced by the great majority of tho
Southern people before the war was In
sfinitely more humane, infinitely faircr to
the black man and infinitely more cred
table to the white man than this latter
day doctrine of negro bondage. When
tho Southern whites owned slaves, they
assumed the care and responsibility OF
them. fed and clothed them, nursed them
in sickness and treated them with kind
ness and affection But those who In this
generation would keep the negro down,
would put him under bondage to the
white man without any assumption on
the part Of the white man of the care
and protection of the negro.
We say this in sorrow and not IN an
ger Our concern is not for the black
man, but for the white man. Inc Whlte
nan brought tho negro here and the
white man is responsible for him. II the
white race will treat the negro fairly
and generously, the results VIII take
care of themselves. Evil cannot come
out of good But IL the white race treats
the negro unjustly, ungenerousy and
cruelty, the wrong will inevitably react
upon the white race. How does our treat
,nent of the negro affect the negro? That
is not the more important question. How
is it affecting us?
