ROOM ENOUGH FOR THE TWO
RACES.

In the opinion of Gov. Blanchard Of
Louisiana there is room enough in
this country for both the white and
the black races. In his inaugural adj
dress on Monday ne outlined the solu-
tion of the negro question. in so far
as Louisiana was concerned, and II Is
pretty safe statement that the senti-
ment that prevails in respect 20 that
question in other Southern states is
about that which prevails in Louisiana.
Gov. Blanchard said that Louisiana
stands for an entire separation OF the
races, separate schools, separate
churches. separate cars and separate
places Of entertainment Both racial
distinction and racial integrity must
be preserved, but the black man must
be protected in all his rights-his right
to live peacea bly,, his right to labor
and his right 10 enjoy the fruits of has
labor. And ne must be educated. but
mainly along the lines that viii enable
him to become a good and useful clti-
zen in his sphere Of activity. Accord
ing 10 the programme marked out by
Gov. Blanchard there is no good rea-
son why he shouldn't become a land
owner and an owner Of all sorts of
Industrial undertakings. In his sphere
of activity there is no opposition to
his having a fair share of the wealth
Of the country The bars are up. of
course, in the direction Of social equal
ity or recognition. And why should the
negro want either?
If protected in his rights and free
10 improve his material condition he
ought to be satisfied. He ought to see,
and probably does see, that If he in
sists upon getting outside of these limi-
happy one, but that within them there
is room enough for him to develop
and have about all there is in life
worth having. One race being supe-
rior to the other it would be impossible
for the races to get along together on
terms of absolute equality in all things.
History doesn't furnish an example of
an inferior and superior race getting
on happily together on terms OF equal
ity in all matters.
Gov. Blanchard was particularly en-
phatic in asserting that under his ad-
ministration lynch law wouldn't be toll
Grated. 1t is worthy of notice that in
about all of the Southern states there
is a pronounced determination on the
part of the chief executives TO put a
stop to iynchings. And that is as it
should be. Every lynching is blot
upon the fair name of the state in
which it occurs. There are laws for
the punishment of those who commit
offenses. Let them be enforced. Make
the courts respected.

THE CLAIM AGENTS, CONVENTION.

Savannah extends a cordial welcome
to the members of the Freight Claim
Agents Association who are in the
the organization. 1t is hoped and be-
lieved that they and the ladies who
accompany them, will spend an enjoy
able and profitable two days visit, and
that they will come again. There is
no season of the year in which Savan-
nah is more beautiful than the early
spring. when the trees and the grass
are green and fresh and the parks and
squares are showing their many-eol-
ored blooms, and when the air is
balmy and sweet in the nostrils. The
freight claim agents are men repre-
sentative of the high order of ability
made necessary by the complexities of
modern systems of transportation.
They are alert, keen-eyed and quick
witted business men, who work hard
and hold the balance of justice between
the claimant-shipper and the trans
portation company. The claim agents
function is to protect the company
against unjust claims, but at the same
time 1t is his business to see that just
and honest claims are satisfied as
promptly as may be possible; and the
most successful claim agent is not he
who turns down" all claims, but the
man who comes nearest to satisfying
both his company and its patrons.

CURRENT COMMENT,

The Columbia State (Dem.) says:
zone by one the Southern states are
following the example set by South
Carolina in employing convicts on
farms. Louisiana, the last to adopt
this means of utilizing convict labor,
has had the most satisfactory results.
There are no convict scandals as I'M
der the old leasing system, the returns
to the state are more satisfactory and
the treatment of prisoners much more
humane"
The Louisville Courier Journal
(Dem.) says: ut appears to be conced-
ed that Iowa will stand pat at the Re-
publican state convention to be held on
Wednesday of this week. Secretary
Shaw has gone there with the platform
in his pocket. and George E. Roberts.
who has been favorable to the so-called
Iowa idea says that 1000 out of 1900
delegates are stand -patters, so there is
not likely to be any fight. Thus perishes
one scheme to revise the tariff by its
friends, and others viii go the same
way"
The Philadelphia Record (Dem) says:
Philippe Bunau- Yarilla. the slick and
smart Frenchman who successfully en-
gineered the sale of the Panama Canal
Company's isthmian property and fran
chises to the United states, has been
made an officer of the Legion of Honor
by the French government. Appar-
emily the joy OF the French sharehold-
ers in getting rid of their canal enter
prise was no less hilarious than that of
the Roosevelt administration in Shout
dering the task of completion and pay
ing soundly for the opportunity"
The Springfield (Mass) Republican
Qnd.) says "A remarkable piece of
news is contained in the New York Trib-
unes outline of the Republican nation
al platform. 1t is stated that the Re-
publican platform will say that the
United States has already been selected
10 arrange the terms of peace between
Russia and Japan when the belligerents
finally weary OF war. II true, this is a
scoop of the first magnitude, for it alb
solutely conflict with the official dec
laration of the Russian Foreign Ot-
Ace. April 20, that the imperial govern
ment will not admit the Intervention
OF any power whatsoever in the direct
negotiations which will occur between
Russia and Japan after the termination
of hostile operations in order to deter
mine the conditions Of peace. Plat.
form makers shvuld not claim too
much"

Never Heard of Lieut.. Guild.

Lieut.. Gov. Guild suggests that those
in need of a course in modesty should
be given one of two chances to ac-
quire the virtue, says the Boston News.
Either take stumping trip out through
the West in the company of really
popular politician, or be elected to the
lieutenant governorship. In illustra-
ton of How slight thing is fame,
the Lieutenant Governor tells this on
himself:
Having occasion to call up the At
torney General, a personal friend, the
telephone was answered by the office
boy and the following conservation en-
sued

PER SONAL

Frequent complaint has been made
of late because members of Congress
have absented themselves from ses-
sions This reminded Congressman
Hardwick, of Georgia, of an occurrence
many years ago. Robert Toombs was
a candidate to succeed himself, but
was accused by an opponent of being
absent a great deal. The matter was
brought up by his rival for the nomi-
nation at a joint debate and this was
Bob's reply: Fellow citizens, for the
sake of argument, we will admit that
the charge brought by my opponent
is true and that 1 have been absent
from the sessions of the House. Ad-
hitting, as l say, for the sake of argu-
ment, that it is true, l will ask you
this question, Which can you better
afford. to have me in Congress and
absent from the sessions, or have this
man in Congress and have him present
at the sessions ?" The contest was
settled on the spot, for Toombs was
elected by his usual huge majority.

The Republican newspapers of Pitts
burg, Pa, are having some fun at Mr..
Bryan's expense. The other day there
arrived at the stockyards there a. car
load of steers from Nebraska. One of
the steers appeared ILL To protect the
other cattle from possible contagion
the steer was isolated and a veteri-
nary was sent for. But despite the
veterinary's physic the steer continued
morbid, taking but the slightest inter-
est in life. At length, in the hope Of
throwing some scientific light on cattle
diseases, the steer was killed ana an
autopsy held. The Dispatch says In
one of the stomachs was found a COPY
OF Mr.. Bryans paper, The Comnloner.
1t had been chewed into two cuds and
raised and swallowed repeatedly. but
without digestion, until it finally got
on the animals nerves. BY a careful

found that the paper contained a

EATING AND DRINKING.

The pulpit thunderS continuously
against the drink evil. 1t is, indeed,
a monstrous evil, carrying in its train
sin and misery alike to both the guilty
and the innocent. No effort to check
it is to be decried; all such efforts are
for the good of humanity and to be
commended. Temperance is a virtue
that cannot be too highly priced. But,
in the teaching of temperance, how
many Of our preachers pay considera-
BILE attention to any detail beyond the
drinking of ardent and intoxicating
liquors? Is it not a fact that the very
expression, "a temperance talk" car
ries with it the idea of an argument
against drinking? And yet the drink
habit, carried to excess, is merely one
form of intemperance. There are other
forms that are quite as disastrous in
their results.
We have in mind especially intem-
perance in eating. We published
few days ago an extract from an in
terview with Mr.. Thomas A. Edison,
the famous inventor, in which he re-
ferred to food intoxication. He said
in effect that mans brains become be-
fuddled from eating too much and un-
wisely as we'll as from drinking too
much and unwisely; and that is true.
Almost any physician will affirm that
probably the majority of ills that
flesh is heir TO arise in the stomach,
from injudicious eating. The average
person comes into the world with first
rate digestive apparatus. Often it is
spoiled in infancy by narcotics in the
form of soothing syrups," given with
the end in view of making the baby
keep quiet. Should the good digestion
escape the perils and pitfalls of in
fancy, 1t is liable TO be ruined in ado
lescence by unwise eating; the eating
of improper foods, of foods improperly
prepared, of too great quantities, etc.
The world is full of dyspeptics. Many
of them are to be found in the pulpits.
The dyspeptic invariably blames his
poor digestion" without seeking the
cause of it, Probably nine times in
ten the cause is not inherent, not nat
ural, but arises from intemperance in
the treatment of the digestive appara-
tus. A large percentage of the misery
of the world is caused by the frying
pan. Domestic infelicbty is fostered by
poor cooking and unwise eating. In
digestion has caused numberless
crimes and misdemeanors. 1t might
not be wide of the mark to say that in
temperance In eating is responsible for
as much sin and sorrow and suffering
as intemperance in drinking. Why do
not our reformers attack this phase of
intemperance? Is 1t because it is less
spectacular and offers less opportunity
for tear-inducing pictures?
Here is an opportunity for our re-
formers, clerical and other, to do a
great work for humanity. Let them
not abate in one jot or little their
fight against rum, but let them fight
also against the intemperance in eat
ing. The latter often leads to the for
mer The man who eats wisely and
well, who enjoys his food and digests it,
seldom cares to drink spirits to excess.
But the badly fed man, whether it be
his own fault or that of the cook, fire.
uuently. has recourse to alcoholic slim
ulants to make him feel differently.
He is uncomfortable, and the excite
ment OF alcoholic drink will make him
forget 1t.

Members of the Episcopal Church
viii be interested In hearing of serv-
ice held in the Protestant Episcopal
Church of the Saviour. at Syracuse n.
Y, last Sunday. The Rev. Shirley c.
Hughson of Holy Cross House, New
York city, conducted the services. An
account says: He wore a cowl of the
priests of the Dominican order of the
Catholic Church. Around his waist he
wore a black sash and a black cruel
fix attached to a chain at his throat.
He was introduced as Father Hugh
son. and his appearance created a SEN
sation. AS he bowed at the altar and
made the sign of the cross, things for
eign to low church Episcopalians, he
attracted attention and some criti-
cism." Aside from it's aspect as an in
novation in Episcopal Church services,
the incident will be of interest TO
great many newspaper men in Georgia
and South Carolina who knew Mr..
Hughson twelve or fourteen years ago
as a promising writer for the daily
press.

It is possible that Virginia will
shortly be producing all of the arsenic
used in the United States. Pittsburg
capitalists have acquired title to 1000
acres of land in Virginia believed to
contain the richest arsenic deposit in
the world and machinery for its ex-
traction is now being erected. The
rock containing the arsenic is to be
crushed and smelted at the mines and
the crystals refined at the same spot:
The consumption of arsenic in the
United States is estimated at 1000
tons annually, of which all save about
300 tons is imported. Besides its medi-
cal uses arsenic is employed largely in
the mixing of paints, the finishing of
certain colored papers. etc.
