The Republican administration of
the affairs of the county of Mesa. dur
ing the past few years has rot been of
such remarkable efficiency that the
party should be considered as having
a dead immortal cinch" upon the
offices. In that light very generally
is the matter looked upon by those in
office and those who are seeking office
in that party. But Democrats need
not be dismayed by any desires Repub-
licans NAV have. 1t is natural that
they should feel that they are filling
the bill quite we'll. But the people
have a habit of wanting an occasional
change. They look upon the matter

At the Chamber of Commerce smok-

made most able presentation of the

One of the subjects discussed last
night at the Smoker of the Cham
Der of Commerce, was the attempt to
secure the trade of the country sur
rounding The Sinbad mines AID of the
people of Paradox valley. Facts were
presented showing that there were
some producing mines in that section
working pretty considerable forces,
whose trade and whose shipments
went to either of three places Placer
vile. Moab or Montrose. 1t was shown
through the presentation of the matter
by George Smith that by the oxpendi-
ture of some money by the county a
road could be COMPLETED into the Sim
bad country which would draw a
large share of trade here and would
open a way for the ores of that section
to come to this city as n smelling
point superintendent II. w. Edwards
said there was one working mine there
that had already produced about a
half million dollars and which used
between thirty five and forty teams in
transporting that ore to Placorville
and Montrose All this or at least Il
goodly portion of trade could be divert.

NEGRO EDUCATION.

President Alderman. ofTulane Uni
versity, at conference foreducation
held a few days ago at Birmingham,
Ala, is quoted as having urged that
the negroes should be educated at
the expense of the Federal govern
ment. that the South had more to do
in educating the whites and blacks
than It could now afford. and in view
OF the fact that the United States
paid more than a hundred million
dollars In pensions yearly to Union
soldiers, it should also contribute to
the education OF the negro. We are
surprised that any Southern man
can be found who entertains such
views as those expressed by President
Alderman. II the negro is to be edu-
Gated, and We hold that he should
have moral, mental and industrial
education, as far as the limited re-
sources OF the South can give them
to him, these advantages should be
afforded him by the South. The in
fuence of the great majority OF
Northern people is decidedly disad-
vantageous to the negro now, aud it
IL hard to form any estimate as to
how many serious difficulties have
arisen between the races in the South
on account OF such Influence. TO al
low the negro to be educated by gov
eminent appropriation, it Indeed 1t
were constitutional, which we duobt,
or from any other source except the
South, would place the race directly
under control, both in teachers and
text books, OF influences which have
already, in all indirect way, proven
disastrous to his happiness and his
moral and material advancement.
We are heartily opposed TO the pres
ent pension system as it is practically
carried out. but the wrongs done
under its provisions, in the name OF
law, would beas nothing in compari-
son with Federal education OF the
negro. Is would mean that the ne
gro children OF theSouth would have
better equipped schools, holding
longer sessions and having better
paid teachers, than the white children
had, with all the consequences which
would attend such q condition.
Southern people are not going to
permit this; they recognize the obi
cations which the negroes presence
here has placed upon them, and they
will meet those obligations iearlessly
and honestly, and will brook no out
side interference in their method OF
dealing with them.

Bishop Turner has been credited,
by both white and cOlOred, with more
sense than he displayed in All address
at Chicago the other night. His
declaration was not only absurd and
false, but it is mischieyous in its ten
dency. The bishop said God never
made white man. In the beginning
all men were black, but in their wan
derings on the earth many OF them
have become bleaehed Aud in their
unnatural palor many OF these
bleached men, all OF whom were made
black at the beginning. now look with
contempt and indifference-Often with
prejudice and hate-upon their
brothers, the negroes, who have re-
tanned the color that God gave
them" About the only truth he ut
tered in connection with this subject
was that the negro needed more ed
ucation, and the speaker should have
been included in the declaration. He
insisted that the colored people
should write books, poems and scien-
titic treatises of their own in harmony
with their color and race, stop sing.

There are efforts now on loot &"
EXPERIMENT in cotton raising in coun-
tries where it has not heretofore been
cultivated. aud to increase the acre
age devoted to that staple where 1t
il raised. These efforts may come
from the fear that scarcity OF labor
in the South may reduce thecrop and
the demand for the raw material
could not be supplied. The produc-
ton Of the South last year was TO-
727,559 bales, and it is now claimed
that she can and must increase her
production to fourteen or fifteen MIL
lions. That would be nearly one
third more than the production OF
last year, aud yet those who have
been studying the question are ol
opinion that this high water mark
can be reached. Capt. Hardy, presl-
dent OF the Mississippi Agricultural
and Mechanical College, is very san
guine on the ability of the South, and
saws that in his judgment the South
has the capacity to still further d.
versify its agriculture and indus
tries. to raise every bushel OF corn,
every pound of meat and every work
animal needed in his section, and at
the same time to more than double
it's cotton production.

THE PRIMARY PLAN.

II the vote in Richmond on Tuesday
is a fair test of the sentiment .oi the
Democratic party throughout the
State on the question of the method
OF selecting candidates for office, and
we believe that it is fairly representa-
tive OF that sentiment, then there can
be little doubs that the party is over
whelmingly favorable TO the primary
plan of selecting candidates. The
vote in Richmond resulted in a total
of / 900 for the primary plan. and
1914 against it. While it is not pre-
sumed that this ratio would hold
throughout the State, yetitindlcates
that Democratic sentiment is over
whelmingly favorable to theplan and
that the approaching Democratic
convention will declare in unmlstaka-
ble term for this method. IL remains
for the convention also TO adopt fixed
rules for conducting the primaries.
The legislature recently adjourned
repeatedly refused To enact any PR
mary legislation, and in thiswe think
it acted wisely. The action oil the
convention, So far rs the Democratic
party is concerned, will he Just as
binding on the party as any primary
law enacted by the legislature, ana
such action can be made free from
the many objections which were
properly urged against n primary
law. At the time Of the pendeney OF
the various primary bills we held
that their defeat by the Legislature
was not Indicative OF the party's at
titude toward the primary system,
but that the opposition to the pro
posed plans grew out OF objections
to the acts proposed, and subsequent
events have proven the correctness
OF this position. The primary plan
has come to stay, and the politician
or Office holder who undertakes to
run counter to this sentiment, 10y
that act signs his own political
death warrant.
