Immigrants for the South.

Booker Washington's plan to encour-
age negroes to buy and improve the
vast tracts of unimproved land in the
south ELECTS undisguisedly on the racial
issue the outspoken opposition of the
Charleston News and Courier. which
prefers the white foreign immigrant to
the native black man. Cruel as it
may appear says the News and Cour-
Ter, I'VE do not wish the south to be
the home of negro civilization. We
wish the south to be a white mans
country, and we do not desire half a
million thrifty negro homestead hold
ers settled in this country, to hold their
own forever by the side of the white
people. Therefore, we think that i'm
migrants should be sought, whites
should be brought into the south now,
before tbges @0ker Washington youths
have had Cme and opportunity TO pos
sess the land. Vigorous and ambitious
immigrants would make the competi-
ton sharp for those white natives who
lack energy and ambition, but IL the
immigrants do not come. that class of
natives will be outstripped by the en-
ergetic and trained negroes and will
incur, century hence, the danger OF
becoming tenants and employees of ne
groes. We would have the country
ruled wholly by one race. and would
have reinforcements of whites now,
while the lands are easy to be had"

ION that If he were not honest he could
not in any event gain the nomination.
The republican party is a militant and
triumphant organization. Its leaders
are experienced and sagacious public
men. With an ample field, and a good
field, to choose from, the nomination
of Mr.. Roosevelt would be a wanton
act of careless suicide. The merest
political tyro ought to see that. The
president is no fool. He knows that
to go back not only upon his word
but upon his friend. and take the
nomination himself, would fully con-
firm the worst charges of the most
Inveterate OF his traducers; that it
would put the brand Of self-seeking
and falsehood upon all his antecedents
and pretensions; that it would present
him to his countrymen as a detestable
and selfish conspirator, aiming after
power, and power alone; that, in one
word and at one fell swoop, the act
would destroy both himself and the
republican party. 1t IS inconceivable
short of insanity, that Mr.. Roosevelt
should contemplate it IT, through the
counsels Of insanity. he should be will
+ ing TO be a party to it his friends and
political associates would forbid it.
