BOYS BE GENTLEMEN.
(Fort Dodge Chronicle.)

/
| Oelwein is also troubled with the
pestiferous loafers who congregate on
the street corners in the evening an6
perhaps have a sighting remark to
make, and the editor goes after them
with the following bit of advice:
| Boys, don't think that because you
4 wear tolored socks and a boiled collar
I that you are q gentleman. 1t takes
! more than that to entitle you to the
/ name We have seen boys in patched
/ overalls and with sockless feet who
were gentlemen, every inch of them.
They did not congregate on the street
corners every night and spit great
puddles of tobacco juice on the side
walk, nor do we remember of having
seen their fingers stained with cigar
ct filings. Their language wasn't
mixed with filthy talk and aheathenish
slang either They wore their hat
strait on their heads and didn't cock
straight On their heads and didn't cock
them over one ear, giving them the
appearance of a typical nowdy They
were not given to making i'll remarks
of every woman that passed: they
remembered that their mother was
a woman and for that reason if no
other they owed respect to her sex
They did not carry the idea that they
could win the interest of every young
lady whom they might choose. They
gave the lady credit for wanting
some choice in the matter The boys
to whom we refer didn't sneak
around back alleys and tap beer bot
tles-they were too straightforward
for that. They earned the clothes they
wore and the money they spent, and
asked no odds of any one. and yet
these boys, as we said, didn't wear
boiled collars, but they were gentlemen
nevertheless.

Even if the 2-cent fare should
prove to be wholly "unremunerative''
during the first three months, after
which tie railroads are to report to
one of, the federal judges, the low fare
will hardly be abolished predicts the
Cedar Rapids Republican. 1T would
have to be shown beyond peradventure
that the rate was ruinous to invest

shown. The people after having en-
joyed the luxury of riding at two cents
a mile will hardly be content to have
the rates raised. In our opinion, there

But remember the banker will not lend money on mortgaged cotton or on cotton stored in gutters on the street, at the mercy of the elements. If you are under obligations to your merchant, you will of course have to sell at prevailing price, enough cotton to meet your obligation. But if you are in a position to do so hold your cotton until it will bring fifteen cents. It will pay you to store it and pay insurance on it. Cotton is worth if teen cents and all cotton goods are now priced on a basis of fifteen cent cotton. Let the bears scheme to rob you, but it is all a bluff. You have got the cotton and the spinners need it badly and must have it If the gam. blers will not pay your price, the spinners will pay it.

AS TO A PRIMARY.

Anent the approaching Democrat ic county primaries, the Graphic de- sires to say that it has no moKe interest in said primary than any other good citizen. What the Graph is hopes to SC is an absolutely hon. est primary, so that the character and civilization of our people will not be reproached by the cry of fraud after the primaries are held. Whatever method is thought best by the County Central Committee to accomplish this purpose will be satisfactory to the Graphic. The Graphic is not the spokesman of any candidate or clique of candi- dates, nor do we think the desires of any candidate or set of candi- dates should be considered by the Committee when it meets to de- eide this important matter. The com mittee should consider the interests of the whole people and do that which will insure an honest primary, without the fear or favor of any candidate, but with a due regard to the public veal, the reputation of our people and the interests of our beloved county.

There was never a more truthful thing said than this by the Nash vile American: Those who are continually discussing politics in- dicate rather clearly that they have little else to do. A newspaper or newspaper writer having no general knowledge must be confined to the single subject of politics, fair knowledge of which requires no ability or learning; but the public is not clamoring for political diet every day in the year, every year.

\ WANTON INSULT.

The Bishop of Africa may be very
worthy man in his place, but being ne
gro, is not entitled to social recognition
in this country where our very civiliza-
ton depends upon the preservation OF
race purity. and Bishop Potter has done
more harm by extending it to him than
he has ever done good or will ever be
able to do.
Bishop Potter consumed with a de
sire for notoriety, to secure it did not
hesitate to wantonly outrage the feelings
of the people of Southern city whose
guest he was and to insult the whole
South by entertaining this negro bishop
Should Bishop Potter ever again visit
the South there will be doors open to
him, but not of any decent white man.
Monroe News.
1t is with Bishop Potter of New York,
as with others of the North having an
indefinite conception of the negro, for
instance As Roosevet's admiration for
Booker Washington As there is no law
to restrain Roosevelt or Bishop Potter
and other enthusiasts from level1ne
themselves to the plane OF the negro
their association is matter of affinity
of taste and inclination. 1t is unques-
tionably the privilege OF Bishop Potter
to eaualize himself socially with the
Bishop of Africa or with any other ne
gro he may select for companlonShip
but it is equally the right OF those who
| do not subscribe to such amalgamatloi
to protest and to condemn such action
Bishop Potter may take the Bishop o.
| Africa to his bosom. but he can not force
him on others 1t is such proceedings
which operate to the letrlment OF the
negro by placing him in 4 false attitude
and encouraging his propensity towards
| his equalization with the white man. II
this instance, being co0r-blind, Bishop
| Potter failed to recognize the social pro.
Drietv which would have suggested ltsel
