Information that this is the case
throughout the southern cities and
that it does not apply to the printers
trade alone.
We are glad to note that the educa-
tional advantages are being opened to
the negro on equal terms, glad because
it denotes an complete change from
the time not so many years ago when
a Denison girl went to the south as a
Baptist missionary teacher and was
ostracised and insulted by every white
person in the town.
Our quarrel is not with Mr.. Pettls
to whom we are gratifed for thus
sending US this letter, our quarrel is
not even with the Reverend gentle
man for whose honesty and sincerity
Mr.. Pettis word is sufficient, oul
quarrel is with the facts or rather the
lack of facts with which the simple
minded clergyman has been filled, by
his God-fearing, Christ loving, mig
ger' chasing congregations.

THE REVIEW TABLETS.

The Review last week finished up
the first lot of it's premium note-heads
and the subscribers who have received
them say they are the best and most
useful premiums the Review has ever
given.
No pains have been spared to make
them worthy of the Reviews excel
lent job plant. They are tastily
printed, on good paper and very sub
stantially bound. The enameled
blotter cover is very attractive and
gives a fine reproduction of the pict-
ure of the Pioneers of 1855. This
picture alone, printed much better
than could be done on ordinary print
paper, is we'll worth having. The
picture is used because we believe
many people would like to have it and
because it is representative of The
Pioneer paper, the old Review that
has been the peoples standby. We
would like to furnish every one Of
our subscribers with one of these tab
lets and we will, to all those joining
our "Class of 1907.

NOW is THE TIME.

Next summer when some of our
business men want to get up a car
nival, or street fair, OF a barbecue,
or Chatauqua they will be met with
the objection that it is too late. -
There is much truth in the objection
and it seems to us that now is the
time when the first plans should be
laid. By commencing early we can
select our own talent and pick our
own dates. Later we will have to
take what we can get. The compile
ton of the court house ought to be
commemorated by jubilee of some
kind. The Review finds that opinions
differ widely as to what should be the
nature of this celebration and for this
reason also we believe it would be a
good thing for the business men to
,,put their heads together" now.
This matter should be taken up at the
next meeting of the Commercial club
and Denison should see, this summer,
the biggest and the best festiva it
has ever had. 1t is good rule to
"Do it Now. -

paigns Of extraordinary excitement
and interest.
Why not let the country primaries
elect delegates to district and state
conventions, and with this exception
leave the convention system as it is.
The people know the men of their
own countries, know whether they are
trustworthy, know to which faction
they belong, and should the delegate
prove unworthy they would know how
to resent and how to punish. Let us
suppose that in Polk county the re-
publicans were to have two sets OF
delegates from which to select. They
would know every man long before
the day of the primary, they would
know his record, his faction, they
would have his pledge as for whom
he would vote. The convention would
be called and would vote by counties
in the usual way and it is our very
humble opinion that it would come
much nearer voicing the sentiment of
the people than the general primary
as planned by the bills so far pre-
sented.

Tie Bulletin has something to say

Tie Bulletin has something to say
concerning the Reviews list of sub
scribers. Last year the Review swore
to 1850 not 1900 as the Bulletin states.
We would not for moment question
the validity of the Bulletins state
ment that it has 1893 bona fde sub
scrisess living in the county. We
are. reliably informed that the Bulletin
prints 1900 papers each week. This
would leave l07 papers for extras, fol-
spotted sheets, for exchanges. for its
entire list outside of the county anc
for All of its free list in the county.
We congratulate the Bulletin. The
regular run of the Review is 2100
while special orders for extras otter
run the edition up to 2200.

AcLERGYMENs ERRORS


Last week we published most in
teresting letter from our esteemed
friend Mr.. j. o. Pettis. We cannot
but believe however, that the
Reverend gentleman whom Mr.. Pettis
quotes, was misinformed. Perhaps
like many others of his cloth, the
real facts of life are kept from him by
his Jealous friends. The best foot is
proverbially put forward when the
preacher is around. The Reverend
gentleman says that sometimes even
in the midst of revivals when the
spirit of Christ's love is lowering over
the people, word will come of an un-
speakable outrage and the seekers will
rus. from the altar of God to the
altar of flames to watch the agonies
of the tortured man. The Reverend
gentleman says that much as these
scenes are to be deplored, greatly as
they tend to detract from the interest
in revival work, he sees no other
way.
We have frequently read the statis-
tics of southern lynchings, we do not
recall the exact figures at this time,
but the percentage of those lynched
for the peculiar and atrocious crime
of outrage" is not large. Negroes
are lynched for stealing a hog, for
being impudent to white men, for be-
ing suspected of burning a barn, for a
dozen other crimes which would
not be punished by death in any civil
lied country on earth. We wonder if
the Reverend gentleman approves of
these lynchings as the only way.
Again if the clergyman will take his
book of statistics in hand, he will
find that there is no grave danger of
the colored culprit escaping the pun
ishment of the law. Such cases are
. almost invariably tried before white
juries, composed Of the same class O.
men who form the lynching bees, AMI
it is absurd to believe that the col
; ored fend will fail to get his deserts
1t may be that it is hard to catcl

means death. But to assert that thu

hinder the good work of our old-time
friend Senator Grossly. We cannot
but wonder if the application of the
law to state officers will effect the
object desired, that of lessening the

Let US suppose that the office of
railroad commissioner is to be filled.
Power influences would be affected,
and it is proper to admit. that these
influences would go about their work
in the calmest an most effective way.
Whenever a candidate mark

would be one or more candidates to

understanding would be had however,
that the machine vote should at the
primary be cast for some one man.

THE TRIBUNE OFFER.

We would give notice that our sur
prising offer of the Review and the
Chicago Daily Tribune for $751; will
soon expire.
Several of our subscribers have told
us that they expect to take this offer
but some of these have so far failed
to do so. We regard this as the best
offer we have ever made. The Trib-
une is splendid, complete, up to-date
daily. 1t is not cheap paper in any
sense of the word, but one of Amer
ica's greatest newspapers. The Re-
view makes no profit on these Tribune
subscriptions and makes the offer only
for the benefit of it's subscribers. This
rate means about 375 newspapers
year, at cost of less than one cent
per copy. We trust that our readers
will avail themselves of it at once.

Senator Tillman is reported to
have. shed tears over the outrage to
American womanhood in the forcible
expulsion of Mrs. Morris from the
White House. This might come with
good grace from some men, but from
the. unspeakable Tillman it is absurd.
Ever since he has been in public life
Tiiiman has stood as the apologist
and the advocate of the lynch law of
the, south. He has stood dry-eyed
while men were burned at the stake
because suspected of crime not sus-
pected Of outrages, but SUSPECTED of
petty crimes. He has had no word of
protest when innocent colored women
and children were shot down in theil
homes. Unspeaekable outrages AGAINST
law and decency and humanity have
left his heart untouched. Under the
circumstances the Senator from South
Carolina is not the man to arouse the
Nations sympathy in such cause.
