The dogs are said to have taken
Gibson's trail several times to-day,

With the troops at Edna there
is no longer a possibility of a burn

from the long chase, and are not

Conditions in the Philippines
Becoming More Serious as to Race Prejudice The Ap-
pOintment of Prejudice Southern White Men
the Sole CaSue.

A correspondent to the Spring
field Republican from Mamma, p.
L., writes of conditions there as
follows:
In attempting the solution of
the great problem of preparing the
Filipinos for self government there
is one most vital point which
seems to have escaped the eye of
the home government. 1t is well
known (or should be known) that
the first step necessary to the ac5
compl;shment of our declared OBJ
ject should be to gain the conf
, dence and good will of the people.
/ This must be the foundation of all
our efforts. Without it no success
is possible.
The point which seems to have
been overlooked by the home gov
ernment, is rather the initial error
which underlies our present theo-
ry, is the appointment of 50 large
a percentage of Southern whites to
to responsible positions in the is
lands. Unlike the whites from
the North, the Southerner is ma.
turally narrow minded and AFRO
giant in his deulings with colored
races. and his strong and plainly
apparent prejudices in this regard
make him, with few exceptions, an
undesirable resident of the islands
BY reason of the fact that ma
7jjority of Americans in the Philip
pines are from the South and that
their contempt and antagonism
toward the natives is so pronounc-
ed, the reins of the government
should be almost entirely in the
hands of Northerners in order to
offset in some degree the hard feel
ings caused by the presence of so
many Southerpers. While the
Northern whites are by no means
free of race prejudice they are
more broad-minded and are able
to control their sentiments where
the reputation of the nation is at
stake. 1t is believed that the
Southern man also means well and
would like to do his share of the
great work before us, but he is
simply unable to control his pas
sions and often allow them to pre-
dominate his prejudice at the most
vital moment.
w.
The effect has beer a natural
one. The Filipinos are already
beginning to protest against race
prejudice through the columns of
their press. They are acutely SEN
sativc and resent the open con-
tempt shown toward them by a
certain class of Americans. AS a
rule, the northern man, with his
usual diplomacy, studies the Fill
pino and shows some regard for
the long established customs of
centuries. He does not expect to

New York, Sept. 30.-A special
meeting of the John G. Martin ed
ucational fund, an organization
for the uplifting and bettering of
the Negro, was held last night and
reports on the work of the year
were submitted to the trustees by
Rev. S. G.. Miller and plans dis
cussed for the future. Dr. Miller
stated that provision had been
made for the maintenance of nor
NAL department in eleven colleges
and universities for Negroes
throughout the South, in which
they have regular and systematic
instruction in the Bible. These
departments have been installed
in the Arkansas Baptist college,
Philander Smith college, Shorter
college, Haygood college, Atlantic
Baptist college, Paine college, Ben
edict Baptist college, Clafiin uni
versity, Livingston college, Ketrell
college and Washington college.

pull these old customs out by the
root in a single day. He deals
tactfully with the likes and dis
likes of the people and tries to win
their confidence, pointing out their
errors in gentle manner to avoid
friction.
On the other hand, the South
ern man, with his usual narrow
new, shows no respect for any ex-
cept his own opinions, and is open
ly offensive in his conduct. He
deals with an intelligent, educated
Filipino as he would deal with the
most ignorant. He often assums
an Insulting, overbearing manner
where the exercise of courtesy and
consideration would have cost him
no sacrafce of dignity. By his
lack of tack in dealing with a col
ored race he neutralizes the efforts
of more broad minded Americans
and by reason of his, majority is
creating the impression that his
sentiments are those of the entire
American nation.
~
There are. of course some South
ern men in the islands who are ex-
ceptions in this regard, but the
majority of them are positive
hindrance to Americas mission
among these people. Except in
few instances. the we'll known pre-
judices of Southerners should be
sufficient to bar them from ap-
pointment to high positions in the
islands government Although
they may mean well, their preju-
dices are bred in the bone and
will not down, even in so trying
IA problem as that which confronts
us. The Southerner is no hypo-
crite. He is frank and does not
attempt to hide his feelings, but
thisis no place for him to show
those feelings.
Whatever may be said to the
contrary by persons of job-molded
sentiments, it is well known that
the relations between the natives
and Americans in the islands are
not as cordial as they were two
years ago, and the situation seems
to grow worse as time goes on.
The people are not cooperating
with the government. They a1e
pulling in tho opposite direction.
Their pent-up feelings are plainly
visible in the columns of the
native press They seem to
have lost confidence in the
ultimate intentions of the Uni
ted States. Why? Ask the South
erncr here. who, by lack of self
control, are responsible for the
breach that has been gradually
created between the government
and the people. y.

TO NULLIFY ELECTION.
A Plan Said to Have Been Concocted
Beforehand in Columbia.

Columbia. September Io.-lt was
stared here today that if the election
in Marion t,>1ay goes against the dis
pensarv there will be suit to keep
the dispenSarieS open. In addition to
the reasons assigned in the prcv;ou,
cases. it is understood that d point
will be made that the supervisors OF
registration kept the books open less
than thirty days before the election
It would be strange indeed if two Or
three election officers could, whether
wilfully or not, invalidate an election.
It would be about as bad as tc sap
pose that a board of managers at
some Out of the way election precinct
wilfully allowed a number OF dis
qualified voters to participate in th:,
election that it would invalidate an
entire election.

ton law at some precinct cOuiQ IN
validate an entire section, it would
hardly be worth while to hold elec-
tions: it would be such an easy mat
ter TO get such things done. If the
commissioners of registration viola
lated the law in issuing certificates Of
-eos+-o+icn then the ILLEGAL certifi-
Gates could be checked and that num-
Der OF ballots be cancelled, if contest
ed in the proper way, but it would
indeed be a peculiar situation if elec-

tematically invalidate an election by
