The South and Japan.

fear that such expressions. to use the

Inconsistency in opposing the appoint

The Educated Negro.

In commenting on some remarks OF
| ours with regard to the education Of
Booker Washingtons son, the Charlotte
Observer says that there are but one of
two ways open to the%young, educated
and capable negroes, such as Booker
Washington son. Is described to BIO: II
they are to live in the South, they must
mako society Of their own; the other
thing is for them to locate in New Eng
land, where there is supposed to be no
color ine and to enter upon and enjoy
the social life of the community with all
that that implies.
The best negroes OF the South can
make a society OF their own. and as their
numbers increase, there will be wider
field of opera ton for those who educate
themselves In mind and morals, There
may BIO grades Of society among negroes
as there are grades OF society among
whites. but the point which we have made
In discussing the case OF Booker Wash
ington's son Is that he is being educated
for association with whites. He is COM
p,etely cut off from his own race. He Is
treated by his fellows in the Northern
school as a social equal, and II he grows
ND In that school and continues to have
the intimate association and friendship
OF the whites, 1t goes without saying. that
he will never be satisfied to cut loose
from .those associations and take his
place among negroes. There is absolute
~ no place In the South. and until
sentiment shall have been revolutionized,
never will be any place for a negro thus
reared and trained.
T;ooker washington says that tho SEQ
ton for the negro Is the South. but no
Is not bringing UP his son, according 10
that view. He is training him for that
section, wherever 1t may be. IN which

The Conventions Work.

question was concerned. tho question OF

Of the st. Louis convention and against
Roosevelt and Rooscveltism, there was
nerfect harmony-not the harmony OF IN
difference. but the harmony of enthusl-
assn and confidence.
Get together stay together, and shoot
solid shot" said Senator Daniel.
That was the theme OF all the speeches.
and every allusion to 1T brought forth
the good old Democratic yell. Virginia
Democrats believe that there Is chance
Ia Win in this years contest, and they
do not propose to split upon issues that
have been fought to finish and lad
aside If Democrats in all other States
are as thoroughly united on national
Issues as those OF Virginia. our nominee
for the presidency will be elected by
majority even greater than that which
Cleveland received in 1899.
The convention is overwhelmingly for
Parker, and there is no doubt that Vir-
ginia's vote will be cast for him as long
as there is chance OF nominating him.
We are disappointed that the conven-
ton adjourned last night without acting
on the primary plan. we had hoped that
the plan would be reported early in the
session. that it might be duly consid-
ered and discussed and disposed of while
{; all the delegates were present. But the
committee was not ready to report at
midnight, and the whole question went

Fot many years we have been urging
the Legislature to adopt the inspection

adopted fifty years ago, the State OF
Virginia would have saved a thousand
times moro money. than the cost would
have amounted to, and many officials
would have been saved from wrong DO
ing. There is a moral question as well
as n business question involved IN the

OF tho State to exercise proper watch
fulness over her employees. to require them
to make regular reports and to keep
them spurred up to their duty by
knowledge Of the fact that the inspector
will como along at time when they
think not and make an investigation.

tOratory.

Every now and then somebody rises
III, and says that til eday Of oratory Is
past and gone; that there is no longer a
taste for It, and therefore no longer q
demand for 1t among tho American
people. But such is not the case. True
oratory Is as much appreciated as It
ever was, but 1t must BIO oratory, pure
and poetic. The day Is, indeed past when
q speaker can string together q few high
sounding phrases and pass them OFF on q
crowd as oratory. Tho speaker who at
ltompts that sort OF thing In o public
gathering nowadays will usually SUBJ
ject himself to ridicule. Ass
True oratory Is more than fancy
phrases 1t must proceed from warm
heart and 1t must be sincere. Socrates
used to say that all men were suff1 cently
In what they understood. But
oratory implies more than q mere intel
lectual understanding >of the subject in
hand. It implies sentiment. and In order
to stir the hearts Of his hearers the
orator must feel in his heart what no
says. There are many such orators in
Virginia, and the people hear them
gladly.
