The action of Gov. vardaman, of
Mississippi, in vetoing the legislative
bill making an appropriation for q
negro Normal school, Is to be COM
mended as a move In the right direc-
ton. Every man who knows any
thing at all about the negro In this
country knows that there IL not one
of them In five hundred that can profit
by an academic or collegiate educa-
ton, and scarcely one In fifty that
can take even high school course.
The idea of establishing Normals for
them Is an absurdity only advocated
by rabid negropholists, who have
never seriously considered the real
need or utility for them.
The negro Is doubtless entitled un.
der the law and by the dictates OF
humanity and christianity to all the
elements Of common school educa-
ton. This by common consent is &C
corded him by all reasonable and
Just men, but whenever 1t comes to
the frills of a higher education
there ia an absurdity and incOngruity
that at once appeals to our common
sense. Gov. Vardaman does not pro-
pose to take anything away from
the negro that will profit him, but
he Is very rightly opposed to the un
necessary frills.

The Shreveport Journal makes the
point that the late mandamus pro-

State, which compelled him to file
certain Republican nomination pa

view of the fact that the law provides
that the contest board shall decide
these matters, the Journals point ie
well taken, I. e., that Democracy de-
mands that one mans will shall not

free people to vote for a candidate
for Office. The provisions Of the law
being complied with, it is OF courss
not necessary that candidates shall

"L<Ost River"

Joseph Arthur's latest play. Lost
River" is a scenic melodrama some
what akin to "Blue Jeans" in itssen-
satiOnal scenes and effects, but q
much better play as regards construc-
ton and dialogue. There are num-
Der of mechanical devices and much
live stock used In Lost River"
which Is described as a poem OF rural
life. There are also some tremen.
dously strong dramatic situations,
such as a knife and pistol fight be
tween characters riding at full speed
on their wheels. The scenery and
mechanical effects add realism to the
scene as well as a wildly portrayed
storm. There IL also finely painted
scene OF the Baden toll road. and it,
cumbersome tOllgate crossing the
stage through which the heroine
dashes at full speed, pursued by two
robbers, all mounted on thorough
bred horses. These horses, beehives
pumpkins, a rural orchestra, a quar-
tet OF hoboes and the elaborate me
chanical effects are some OF the add
to the success which Lost River
scored during its long run of 81,
months In New York. The comedy
scenes are clever and amusing whilt
the pathos of some Of the incidents
and dialogue In the HOOsier farm
will appeal strongly to all lovers o
hO.nelike scenes and characters

Paper from Cotton Stalks and
the Labor Problem.

INC A8UOT IIOO1CAus
In a late speech about cotton, made
by Congressman Lowering, of Massa-
chusetts, in the q. s. House of Repre-
sentatives, that gentleman made
public a bit of information relative
to making paper from cotton stalks
that has created most lively inter-
est in the South and furnished lively
themes for discussion to the press of
this section. The gentleman has been
engaged in the manufacture OF cotton
goods nearly all his life, and has
great fund of knowledge on the sub
ject. In the course of his long and in
tensely interesting speech, about cot
ton in it's numerous phases, he
brought out two subjects which are
food for profound thought and con-
sideration. We append the official
report of Mr.. Coverings discussion of
the subjects to which reference is
made, viz:
"And let me say right here to my
friends from the southern cotton belt,
you possess wealth there which has
never been worked out. Year after
year We denude the forests in the
north to make paper. Thousands
and thousands Of acres are cut down
every year, and nur forests are grad
ually disappearing. You grow every
year in the south cotton stalks that
will make the paper of this country
five times over, but you burn it and
use it for fertilizer or pillow it in for
fertilizer. You have a wealth there
which you know little about. l have
samples of cotton paper pulp which
surpass anything except the finest
pulp made from linen rags.
Mr.. Bartlett-Mr. Chairman, if the
gentleman will come down there and
help Us manufacture that as he has
helped us to manufacture ourcottOn.
We certainly shall welcome him.
Mr.. Lovering-l beg to say that
steps are already being taken to de.
velop that industry"
Then he went on to remark:
at is said that the State of Texas
alone can grow the cotton crop fol
the world. Probably the only OBJ
stacle to growing q Is, 900, 900 bale
crop of cotton is the abseuce of labor
in the right places at the right timt
to pick the crop, and this brings III
to the consideration of question
which must sooner or later engagt
the attention of the planters OF TIT
south.
Accurate statistics of the growth
of cotton in Alabama, Arkansas
Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi
North Carolina, South Carolina ant
Texas show that in 1876 40 per cent
of the total crop was made by whites
and go per cent by negroes; whereai
in 1900 statistics show actually tn
reverse, namely, 60 per cent OF thu
cotton was made by the whites ant
40 per cent by the negroes"
In the development of the new in
dustry of paper manufacture, ant
the labor problem, which is shown BY
the statistics laid before Congress Il
be working out it's own solution, vi
have the two factors which are Il
make this country blossom as th
