THE KNOXVILLE ELECTION.

The result of the Knoxville temper
ance election is surprising only in the
large majority rolled up by those who
oppose the saloon. This campaign
against whiskey was almost unique,
that is for a city the size of Knoxville.
Men, women and children joined in
the demonstration which lasted the
greater part Of the election day, and
the result of these efforts was easily
d~iscernable in the impressive defeat of
the wet faction.
The sale Of whiskey is now author
lied in but five cities and towns in the
state. One of these, Jackson, will hold
ar election before this paper is printed.
The indications at present are that the
anti-saloon forces will win. La Fol
lette, another of the number, will
doubtless have its charter abolished
before the adjournment of the pres
ent term of the legislature, 1t is even
probable that if an election were held
in either Chattanooga or Nashville, at
the present time, both cities would go
dry.
There are many who doubt the wis
dom Of closing the saloons, especially
in the larger cities, while the laws Of
the United States make it possible for
the jug trade to exist. BY permitting
the jug trade, it is pointed out that
men who were moderately addicted to
intoxicants, finding themselves I'M
able to secure them in small quantities
would make saloons of their home,
thereby spreading the baleful effects
of intemperance in the home. There
is much in this view that would COM
mend itself to the really temperate
men, but the continual disregard of
the law as well as public decency by
the saloons, the open protection fur
nished dives and "hullaboloos" by the
police force, whereby ONE are al
lowed to infest these hell holes and
attract men who should be at work,
have made radicals Of men who other
wise would be moderates. The saloons
have only themselves to blame and il
they don't take a hand and break up
the dives, they will soon find that seq
regation and high license are not dras-
tic enough for Nashville.

ing Institutions run by members of our
race or those which show that they APP
p eciate cur trade enough to make a
bid for it.
One Of the saddest commentaries
upon the short-sighted policy usually
followed in passing institutions of our
own to carry our trade where, if it is
desired, no effort is made to secure it,
is the depositing of the funds of our
secret orders in white banks. Every
secret society in this town which adj
mits Negroes to membership is COM
posed solely and exclusively of Ne
groes. AS an individual, a member of
one of the societies may gain recogni-
ton, but as an order-the society ex-
lists only to those Of our race. Yet
scores of the lodges deposit all of their
funds in white banks. Institutions that
give employment to Negroes only as
porters, and if they desire the patron
age of the race make no open and
above board appeal for it.
AS it is with the banks, so it is in
other lines of business. And the shame
Of it all is that too often men and
women making their living exclusive
ly from their own race have such fas-
tidious tastes, are so discriminating in
their likes and dislikes as to find moth
ing to please them in the shops run by
those of our race.
While the boycott is a powerful
weapon, and capable of accomplishing
much, we do not feel that the cases in
question call for such retaliation. But
it should cause every Negro who re-
spects himself, no matter what his avo-
cation, to patronize those institutions
that openly appeal for his trade. If

customers, want your patronage they

PATRONIZE NEGROES.

We had occasion last week to call
attention to the reactionary addresses
made by prominent business men,
members of the Nashville Board Of
Trade. One of the speakers in ques-
ton, a merchant, is reputed to have
said in substance that a white person
who would patronize a Negro in a GER
tain business, had sunk to the lowest
dregs. We recall this not for the pur-
nose of urging a boycott upon the said
merchant, but to direct attention to
the way sentiment is drifting and en-

BOB ROBERTSON.
NashviIle's Leading SaIesman-Sells
More Wearing Apparel than any
Two Statesmen in the City.

From a common day laborer in a
lumber yard to the front rank as a
salesman is a record that any man
can well be proud of. This honor be-
longs to Mr.. Robert Bob" Robertson,
the popular East Nashville salesman.
Mr.. Robertson a few years ago was a
day laborer in the Benedict lumber
Yards, but was awake to the opportu-
mites around him. He induced one
of the leading shoe stores in the city
to grant the agency to sell their shoes
to his colaborers and assume the re-
sponsibility of collection for the same.
The request was granted and he set
to work soliciting orders. 1t was not
long before he had convinced the firm
that he knew what he was talking
about when he approached them for
an agency. He continued in the shoe
business for some time, and finally
was compelled to give up his posi-
ton at the lumber yard and devote
all of his time to his sales. After he
began to devote all of his time to
drumming he vas sought by other
firms to accept the agency for their
goods. Mr.. Robertson, after much
consideration, decided to handle other
things than shoes, and his next ven
ture was the acceptance of an agency
for clothing and after a while he
took on dry goods and ladies' ready
to wear clothes, and is now practi-
cally a walking department store, and
supplies more people with clothes and
dry goods than any two men in the
city.

STRIKES

Steadily southwark drifts the rule OF
the mob that would eradicate the eco
nomic differences between capital and
labor by violence. At one time 1t
seemed as if the excuses of labor in
its effort to gain it's ends were indigo,
nous to the section of the country
North of the Mason and Dixon Line,
while those based upon race prejudice
and hatred were confined to the South.
But in the past few years the area
prone to adopt each form of violence
has gradually been enlarged.
Louisville, KY, since last Saturday,
has been deprived Of adequate street
car service on account of the strike of
the electric car men. Violence has
been resorted to by the strikers and
several men have been more or less in
jured. The city authorities, it seems,
in fear of the vote of the labor ele-
ment, have shown an indisposition to
enforce the law and preserve order.
AS to the business of the demands
Of the striking men there may be a diff
ference of opinion, but the city authori-
ties should have but one opinion, and
that is to protect lives and property
from violence at all hazards. Labor
has the right to organize, and, when it
feels so disposed, to strike for the en-
foroement of its demands, but when
organized labor attempts to gain it's
ends by lawlessness, it should be rec
ognized as any other organized band
Of lawbreakers and delt with accord
ingly.

than Mississippi had lynchings. It
seems to be an unwritten law in this
town that if you have a grudge against
a person you may kill him, and then
claim that he made an effort to draw a
weapon from the southwest pocket of
his trousers. If the worst comes, the
murderer will only get a few years in
the ~penitentiary. The best way to pre-
vent so many crimes of this class is to
hang those who perpetrate them.
