THE USUAL MISTAKE.

The Western Negro Press Associa- tion recently held their annual con- vention in Muskogee. I. T., and in speaking of the business they transact ed The Kansas City Journal says that tone of the resolutions admits of criti- cism not only because of the spirit which prompted it, but because insist, ence upon it has done great harm to the advancement of the negro race in gain ing the sympathy of the whites The resolutions declare against separate schools in States where slavery never existed. Just why the negro editors incorporated such a sentiment as an official expression of their organiza- tion is not easy to understand. Social equality will never be achieved through attempts of the negroes to force them selves where they are not wanted. It is this false idea that fosters much of the alleged prejudice against the negro. It would seem that the good sense of the leaders of negro thought would suggest that by endeavoring to educate and elevate his race and enlisting the aid and sympathy of the whites lies the hope of the negro, and that by con tinually harping on a subject that is not and never can be acceptable to the whites they are defeating their own cause"
 There has been considerable hard feeling and friction in parts of Kansas because of efforts to keep white and black children in the same schools and 1t is likely to continue wherever the attempt is persisted in. AS The Jour nal argues, social equality cannot be brought about by resolutions. nor can 1t be forced on white people who do not favor it. There are places in the North where the whites have so little self-respect and racial pride that they can see nothing in color, in the school room or in the homes. but there can bt no general disregard of the color line in any part of the country. Those negro editors made the mistake thar many of them make when they argu, that they can force themselves up tC the level of the whites. -*.-

All the printers of Charlotte, N. C.. went out on strike last Monday, and the case is of the usual nature. They demand an eight-hour day with nine hours pay. and the injustice and un- fairness of the movement is shown by the fact that none but the job printers were really effected. In the news paper offices. as we learn, the printers only work eight hours a day, but the job printers demanded the shorter time with full pay and because they went on a strike all the other printers in the city went out with them. The Observer, speaking for itself, says that 'It, along with the other newspapers, and the job offices as well. is engaged in gigantic struggle for the mainten- ance of a great principle; to recover a right which has been wrested from 1t, to wit: the right to manage its own affairs; and until the contest is won a charitable public is asked to exercise forbearance with 1t for its deficIen- cies."
 We hope it may succeed, and that all ofices in the city may be filled with printers who will not try to override the rights of others. The striking printers deserve to lose their places permanently. and we should think that non-union printers WSho are willing to work might find good situations in Charlotte.

GETTING TANGLED.

The Republican State campaign in Ohio opened last Saturday at Bellefon- taine with the usual fanfaronade due on such occasions. Fairbanks, Her rick, Foraker and others made speeches and the burden of their talk was that the Republicans of Ohio must en- Tiorse Roosevelt. And yet Senator Foraker expressed himself very strong sly and decidedly against the Presidents Efavorite policy of regulating railroad srates by the, government. In plain words, they must endorse Roosevelt, but must not endorse what he is try ing to make one of the paramount issues of himself and his administra- tion. "A plague on such backing" as Faistaar said. @--4
 It is rather a curious condition of affairs, as we look at 1t. Herrick Is a candidate for reelection to the office of Governor. and the meeting was mainly in his interest. We must assume that Senator Foraker's sentiments were agreeable to the candidate, if not in spired by him, so that we must take the Senator's speech to convey the feel ings of Herrick. and how can the Re- publicans endorse the President while voting for a candidate who opposes Roosevelt's pet theory? And. to com plicate matters still more. the Demo- cratic State convention declared itself in favor of conferrins the rate-mak- ing power on the inter-state commerce commission. thereby endorsing the President. As The Hartford Times looks at it. If the people of Ohio mean to indorse the Presidents position on this question they must vote the Demo- cratic ticket in November. rather than for Herrick and the platrom of the Republican Party" While the State is not likely to go Democratic 1t is clear
 that they are getting things mixed in

The papers are publishing the figures to prove that the falling off in the con sumption of whiskey in the United States shows 100000 gallons less in 1904 than in 1903. It Is not claimed, as we understand. that there is less drinking, but that beer and wines have taken the place of a good deal of the strong liquors. We suspect. however. that if 1t were possible to get accurate statistics it would be found that large part of the apparent decrease Is due to the fact that there has been a large increase in the use of alcoholic liquors under the guise of patent medi- cines. People have thus been able to buy all they want without subterfuge where they cannot buy the drinks of unmiXed liquors.

In his letter to the people of Alabama pr. Cunningham did not advocate a primary for expression of opinion as to Senatorial vacancies. before vacan- cies occur. It is very plain from the reading that fis idea was for an ex- pression by primary when the occasion arose and not before. So far as we are concerned, we hold to the old idea of Senator being a representative of the State and for that reason should be chosen by the Legislature represent ing the State and not by primary or any other interjected plans. When vacancies occur the Governor has the appointing power and should exercise it.

The Advertiser referred day or two ago to the faulty buildings now being erected in New York, and the probablli- ty of catastrophe in consequence. The despatches Tuesday morning told of the collapse of a large brick house which was being erected in Buffalo by which score or more of people were injured, some of them fatally.
 It is the same old tale which has become familiar to newspaper readers. The brick walls were going up with out proper strength. ties or support, and before the roof was put on the walls spread and fell, and the result was as might have been expected. Evi- dently nothing but the criminal laws can prevent such occurrences.

SOUTHERN POLITICS.

The Portland oregonian in an edi- torial on 'The New Republican Party" dwells at some length on the facts and | conditions existing here during the re- I construction period and after, and which has kept the South practicallyy
 Democratic for forty years. It thinks
 there was a time when the Southern | whites were at least to be excused for | going to the length of Ku Klux | methods in preservation of life and safety. But it thinks 1t time for a change. saying:
 While the negro figured weightiiy in Southern politics, the Democratic Party could pose as the champion of white rule and Anglo-Saxon civilization, and, with some show of justice, could ac- to the Republicans of being the enemy of his own race. As matter of fact during that lamentable period which has now closed, few Southern whites, and certainly not the best of their class. The Republican party in the reconstruction area has existed to hold the Federal offices. and for nothing intelligence mediocre. and it's character, there is no good reason, the negro chimera being exercised, why intelli- gent and upright men below Mason and Dixon's line should not differ on public questions and join different political parties: while, on the other hand, the long and almost undisputed domina- ton of the Democrats has resulted in many and great evils. It is not a good thing for any party to rule too long without vigorous opposition.
 The Advertiser has on several occa- sions expressed wish for a strong and thoroughly reputable Republican Party in Alabama; party with higher aims and ambitions than coddling the negro or holding the Federal offices. Any political party is the better for strong opposition founded on principle. For most of the principles and policies of the Republican Party we have no patience or tolerance. but we would welcome in Alabama a Re publican organization. founded on broad principles of gover6ment and conduct ing its campaigns on a higher plane than 1t has ever shown in this State. Will we ever see it?

At time when the Typographical Union of the United States is having friction with newspapers and other en- terprises employing printers. it Is note- worthy that another organization or printers. the International Printers Protective Fraternity, is successfully keeping the relations of employe and employer close ttogether on broad and cooperative business basis
 A short while ago W. w. Waldo, for nearly twenty years associated with years foreman of its composing room, was elected President of this great or- ganization of printers.
 The current number of The Frater- nity," the organ of the Fraternity, pub fishes a splendid half-tone of Mir. Waldo and says:
 For President. the recent election afforded no exception to the rule, and as a result we chose our best man for the office-W. w. Waldo, foreman of The Montgomery Advertiser Knowing of the high esteem in which he is held by the men under his direction. we only wish we could be among them for a brief period to here chronicle some of the many good things they would tell us about him.
