THE PEOPLE ALWAYS SUPREME.


The effort to inspire the American
people with a dread of things un-
seen, and cause them to quake in
their boots through fear of some
autocratic monster. that seeks to
swallow them whole, will utterly
fail in this era of skepticism. when
people "have to be shown"
The latest asprant for honors
along this line is Mr.. Charles A.
Towne, who Is described by the
Globe-Democrat as a man who can
use his voice and arms simultaneously
and with equal effectiveness. And
It is also asserted that neither is very
idle at any time. They work well to-
gether. and while Mr.. Towne is work
ing his voice, his arms are also busy.
This is cited simply to show that Mr..
Towne must constantly talk. because
II is necessary in his business. OF
his latest. however. the Globe-Demo-
crat says:
"Tammany has given Towne a
seat in congress in which he is to
smooth down or ruffie up the popu-
listic fur. In doing this work he
sounds the signal or alarm against
the prevailing tendency, encouraged
by Mr.. Bryan himself. to regard Mr..
Roosevelt as being In his political
principles democrat as we'll as re-
publican, and as giving expression, in
his policies, TO many OF the ideas of
Jefferson. Ii is at this point that
Mr.. Towne comes to the parting of
the ways with Bryan, probably be-
cause he has had either to part with
Bryan or Tammany and his seat in
congress. He can not. he insists,
agree with the opinion that the pres
ident is in any sense democrat.
The president is, on the contrary
says Towne, AN autocrat, and the
danger Is that he will set preee-
dent for the benevolent despot. He
may do things which have no warrant
of law for what he regards as the
public good, but his example may be
urged by some successor who is ami
mated by less worthy motives
''The populists have no immedi-
ate call to sit up of nights waiting
for the despot. Thus far Mr.. Towne
can only hear him. When he sees
him he will sound the alarm and a
call to the middle OF the road. And
In the meanwhile men OF sense who
don't want TO go to congress or sell
watered stock in themselves. will
know that the rights of the people
are safe with the people, and that II
a man should ever arise In this eoun-
try bold enough to attempt thwart-
ing the popular will. or usurping the
powers OF despot, benevolent or
otherwise. what he would have left
at the end OF the experiment would
not be enough for basis OF a gallon
Of watered stock, even with the dilu-
tion as high as II Is in the case of
Congressman Towne, OF New York"

course that would result in bad
state of affairs.
There is no good reason, however,
for thinking the white people OF the
state will find it to their interest to d.
vide on state questions more radically
than they divide now In the white
primary they have their differences
not ONLY IN respect to candidates, but
also IS to issues. When the nomina-

platform adopted they will unite in
support of the ticket. And everybody
seems to be satisfed-that is, all the
white people seem satisfied. They
couldn't be better satisfied if they
fought out their differences as demo-
Gratis or republicans And under this
white primary system white suprema-
CIV is assured.
But what would happen if Mr..
Smiths policy of DISTINGUISHING the
negro should be adopted The fact
must be kept clearly in mind that what
Mr.. Smith proposes is clearly uncon-
stitutional. 1t is practically certain
that the time will come when this ques-

court of the United States. When it
does only one thing can happen, and

EFFECT OF DISBURSEMENT.

happens which of the states that have
undertaken to deal with the negro
question will occupy the better posi-
ton, those which disfranchised the
negro or those which secured white
supremacy by means of the white pri-
mary? The question carries its own
answer.
But wouldn't the policy advocated
bv Mr.. Smith have the effect of divid
ing the white people politically? 1t
seems to us it would. In his letter
ITO the White Voters of Georgia, "
published in the Morning News few
days ago. Hon. William H. Fleming
of Augusta points to several things
which led to that conclusion. In the
first place when it becomes well under
stood that what Mr.. Smith proposes
is unconstitutional there will be many
influential men who will refuse to fol-
low the lead of those who advocate
disfranchment, and in the second
place when it is disclosed that the
DISTINGUISHING law can be made etfec-
tive only by the fraudulent admins

powerful faction arrayed against Mr..
Smiths policy of disfranchisement,
and the chances are it would almost
inevitably lead to division of the
white people.
when the people understand the is
sue fully they will not be long in com
ing to the conclusion that the plan
now in operation for securing white
supremacy is by far the best of those
that have been tried or proposed. 1t
has worked we'll so far. and the road
for its continuance to work well seems
to be clear, while the road for the plan
that has been adopted by some of the
other states, the plan that has been
proposed by Mr.. Smith, is obstructed
BY difficulties. When Mr.. Smith pro-
posed disfranchisement as a part of
his platform we suggested that it would
be wise to let we'll enough alone, and
as the discussion goes on we see no
reason to change that opinion.

Peninsular and Oriental Steamship
company in Australia, as saying in
his evidence before the navigation COM

1.-THE mani reason why the company

latter were sober. The company had
found 1t utterly impossible to run mail
steamers with white firemen. 1t was
impossible TO keep schedule time on
the Australian trade If white men
were employed In the stokehole.
"If the average English fireman
could be kept from drink there Is no
reason why he should not do as good
work as he did in the Atlantic. When
once an English fireman got into the
tropics he developed n propensity to
drink. The company had tried to run
ships with white firemen and had been
obliged to give up the effort in dis
