LAST OF SANDY BAYOU.

The people of the state will be glad
to learn that we have had the last Of
Sandy Bayou, the supreme court on
Monday refusing to grant the writ of
mandamus invoked by the governor to
have the convicts removed from that
plantation to one of the state farms,
says the Clarion. Ledger.
Again has the governor been turned
down, and his case pus out of court.
This is the second turning down Of
the governor, who attempted to null
lily the acts of the Board Of Control,
and usurp the prerogative of the law
officer of the state.
He first sought to enjoin the board
and invalidate its contract with FL
j. McLaurin, and prevent the working
of convicts on his Sandy Bayou
plantation, but the court held he had
no such power, or the right to in
terfere.
The governor then, through the
district attorney, made an effort to
mandamus the Warden of the peniten-
tiary to compel him to remove the
conEicts from McLaurin's plantation
and place them on state farm; and
the supreme court has again decided,
after hearing the case argued on its
'merits,' that the convicts cannot be
removed.
And thus endeth the chapter, and
Sandy Bayou passes into history.
The Attorney General and the
Board of Control has been sustained
on every point, and the governor has
been turned down on every contentio n
he set up.
The board has won; the governor
has lost.
No one, save he be disgruntled, OF
fetish worshipper Of the govern or,
and believer in the silly old adage
that the liking can do no wrong, -
will raise his head to criticise the
court. But, unfortunately for the
dignity of the state, there is class Of
men and papers known as hero wor-
shippers, and the court need not never
expect to escape their wrath and
maledictions. To them the decisions
of court is as idle words, unless il
pleases them or agrees with their
preconceived ideas.

might perform, leaving them for the

material has none of this $2,340 100000 worth of
labor in it then he has the question. If it has
then my proposition stands SO far this item

how much of this is raw material and how
much is labor. Neither did | overlook his other

laneous expenses but they are all paid out of
this $10.695,91S629 added to the material pur-
chased in a raw state by labor costing less than
one-fourth OF this amount What ails Gordon Is
that he confounds profit with production. On
his own showing the profit on the nearly ten
billion dollars of capital after paying all ex-
penses is 30 per cent, but as he made mistake

Letters From The People
Observation-Disclosures


ing part about his communication was that in
which he claimed that monarchy would solve the
negro question. It would, he said, recognize the
truth that men are not equal, that there must
be race and class distinctions, and that under a
monarchy and classes could be aligned ac-
cording To a benevolent system. / have been
brooding over hiss letter for some time, and
must say that | can't see my way clear. But
along comes Brother Murray of Eagle Pass, Tex,
and thinks he has solved the problem in a most
satisfactory way.
Southern democrats he says edo not favor
social equality, but they do favor political
equality or words to that effect. Sad to re-
late, however social equality must follow politi-
cal equality. In some parts of the south the
negroes are in the majority. If they really had
political equality they would be socially equal,
or rather socially superior to, the whites. Do not
mistake me. What / mean to convey is that
they would be able to assume social superiority.
II their assumption was questioned and the
whites resorted to force, right then political
equality would to exist. 1t is sefevident
II seems to me, that social equality, goes with
political equality Ii we would deny social equal
ity to the negro, we must deny him political
equality. Then what becomes of our boasted
democracy.
II we admit that there is such thing as a
superior race which has right to rule an inferior
race, we must admit that superior class has
right to rule an inferior class. 1t is just as SEN
sible to- make wealth. BIRTH or intellectual gifts
INV "
this criterion And If you adopt these distinc
lions, you must drop democratic form of gov
eminent. AS matter of fact, even whites have
neither political nor social equality in this ma
ton. We are ruled by wealth by the strong,
and by the strong / mean those who have the
mental and moral qualities to succeed in the
present age of the world We are ruled by dis
honest bosses who do the will of the rich, and
who obtain for the rich the privileges on which
they grow powerful enough to buy presidents
The result is, of course, great social inequ
ties. If the whites, among themselves, shared
equally in political rights, there would be social
equality.
But does democracy mean that all should
have equal social and political rights? May not
government be of the people, by the people
and, in general sense for the people, without
granting all equal rights Socialism, of course
would make all men really equal. It's name indi-
Gates that it would make the negro equal to the
white, otherwise there would be nothing social
about it.
/ know ] am in pretty deep water, and so /
will not add any more puzzles just at present
