Pity Of: China, provided China
would remain neutral. Up to the
present time China has kept it's
compact, Russia has observed it's
obligations, but Japan has disre.
garded the agreement into which
ut entered. The first instance of
such disregard was when Japan
seized a disabled Russian war
vessel in the harbor of Chefoo;
the second when it undertook to
seize Russian war vessels at
Shanghai and other Chinese
ports after the great naval battles
OF Aug. 13 and ID. 1t was at
Shanghai that the United States
first interposed to prevent a rep
etltion of the Chefoo incident.
The United States has under
taken to insure fair play not be-
cause it would regulate in the
least the conduct Of war between
Russia and Japan, but because a
promise having been obtained
from China to remain neutal the
United States, together with
European nations, placed itself
undF obligation to China to as
+sist nat nation in maintaining it's
IneutMity. The United States,
as las European nations full

be construed as assistance to
either Russia or Japan; rather as
obstructive interference, though
Russia may profit thereby. owing

The fear in some quarters that
the United States will involve it.
self IN this Eastern war because
of the position it has taken is
without adequate foundation; FOR
II the United States becomes in
lvolved all Europe must also, and
this is not likely, if all parties to
the agreements between Russia
and Japan, and China, observe
international law. Neither Rus
sia nor Japan is likely to have a
case against the United States
and European nations under in
ternational law, since both, es-
peclally Japan, have already vio-
lated such law.

West VS.. East.

For more than hundred years
New York has been the money
center of this country. 1t has
dictated financial policies of the
National government, prescribed
methods of banking, fixed rates
of interest and controlled loans of
all kinds. 1t may be still a power
IN financial matters in this coun-
try, but it is no longer dictator.
New York has repeatedly been
uaderbidden by Western cities.
which goes to show that the West
is a financial competitor of the
East.
Pc The most recent instances in
| which the West has competed
successfully with the East is that
pf the Philippine bonds. The
SWestern National bank of Okla
fhoma City bid 101. Al for the So
100000 loan, the next highest
Ibid being that of Harvey Fisk &
Sons of New York, which was
for 101.37. Other bids from the
West were higher than those
from New York City, but con-
tanned conditions not acceptable
to the Government.
All of this shows that the West
has increased in wealth to point
where in the future, unless some
thing unforeseen occurs, it will
be able to dispute with the East
in financial affairs, and this will
be to the advantage of the coun-
try, for competition will result in
higher prices being soffered for
Government securities, and it
will reap the benefit OF premiums
paid for them.

er esteem? Where is property
securer or freedom ampler?
1t is difficult to see how a man
could be freer than he is in Ameri-
ca. He has freedom of worship.
He can worship anything he
wants to, from the Almighty to
a microbe. He has freedom of
speech and freedom of press, and
freedom of person, and freedom
to rise. The largest opportuni-
! ties offer to the common life, and
the child OF the cabin may reside
in the White House. Where is
citizenship more imperial? The
centre of government in this land
is not in the nations Chief Exec

gress, but in the private citizen.

for murder purposes is RESPONSE
ble for it, there is going to be a
llynching. So far as direct and
immediate effect is concerned,
the newspaper which condemns
it would as well condemn a storm
for blowing through a town and
laying PROSTATE the court house
and the church. To speak of
laws when men feel that they
are face to face with problem
where laws fail, where they feel
that they are at war with a savage
foe, just as their ancestors felt
when they were guarding thei,
little settlements against the
night assaults Of red Indians bent
or scalps, fire and massacre, does
not produce instantly seeable and
touchable results. Condemning
lynching calls attention to law.
and in a century or two when the
cause Of lynching may have dis
appeared in part at least, men
will remember that the laws are
at hand and may respect them.
1t is well therefore to call atten-
tlon. The traditionary knowl-
edge of the laws may be preserv-
ed. The burners of the negroes.
however, are the miserable vic
TINS OF their own folly and pas
sion. The Statesboro lynchers
would have accomplished the
same ends by hanging, and
would have saved their souls
from the deeper pollution. We
condemn lynching. We prophe-
sy at the same time that in this
and surrounding counties in the
Southern part of Georgia, no
more men and women and chill
dren for many and many a long
year will be7nurdered and burned
by a Before-day" society. A
lesson has been taught.
But what has this to do with
immigration? Why, just so long
as millions of negroes remain in
the South, here and there the
StatesbOro horror will be repeat
ed, in one form Or another. The
evil savagery of the negro will
crop out and the still fiercer and
more terrible savagery Of the
white man will burst out and
conquer it. Meanwhile The
white mans nature suffers deter
ioration. Learning the taste for
blood and absorbing a contempt
for human life, he turns upon
and rends his white brother. So
the time Of the courts is con-
sumed with trials of white men
for Staying white men.
In general, every white immi-
grant makes a negro emigrant.
lndustrially, the negro cannot
compete with the white man.
Immigrants are coming here to
Laurens some day whether we
want them or not. When two or
three thousandfamilies are crowd
ed in, two or three thousand fami-
lies of negroes will be crowded
out. The white man wants this
country. The white man is d
land-grabber. He has never yet
allowed inferior race to hold the
choice parts Of the earth. In
time the negro must go as the
Indian has gone. The negro
must flee to the towns to become
hotel-waiters, or he must segre-
gate himself in the black belts"
not suited for the white mans
habitation. The sooner he goes
the better. The sooner the i'm
migrants come into Laurens, the
better. In the coming days there
will be no lynching. Immigra-
grafton will bring sure peace to
Statesbcro, c., and forever put
an end to, the "Before-day" So
ciety. Laurens Advertiser.
