Miss Pickard is a woman of noble traits

The Clansman.
1t Has as Clear a Title to the Right
of Way as Ever Uncle Toms
Cabin Had.

Commenting on the criticism of
The Clansman by the Richmond
Times es-Dispatch, on the occasion of
It's recent (second) appearance in that
city, when it was again greeted by
immense audiences, the Farmville,
(Ea.) Herald says this:
The Clansman has as clear a title to
the right OF way as ever Uncle Tom s
Cabin had. We were amazed that the
Tfmes-Dispatch should have given aid
and comfort to those negro preachers of
Richmond, who taking up the senseless
cry OF the Philadelphia gang, protested
against the performance in that city.
These same negro preachers kick against
the Jim Crow law, the finest enactment
known to Virginia legislation, and
against Nirginia's s Constitution. against
white men controlling the white mans
country and so generally are they en-
gagged in protesting against that which
is for the greatest good of the greatest
number, that the man who opposes that
which they fight, or fights that which
they defend, will generally be on the right
side. The Richmond Evening Journal
'"talks sense on this important subject
"ln view of the fact that the truth of
history has for the last forty years been
wilfully perverted to the hurt and in Jury
of the South, and that the South is even
now being threatened with an ''educa-
tional' propaganda directed from New
York and Massachusetts, by the General
Board of Education, and financed by
John d. Rockefeller, it is high time for
something to be done to prevent our
children from growing up with the con-
viction that the traditions and ideals,
the usages and customs of the South
were devices OF the devil. and that their
own fathers and grandfathers were
blood-thirsty brutes, and that the least
criminal among them were traitors and
outlaws, whose chief business in life was
to perpetuate riot and murder, and to
int1ict savage cruelties upon peaceful
and inoffensive race. For our part we
welcome any antidote to this poison
The Clansman impresses sad but use
full lesson and let the negro preachers and
their sympathizers stay at home, but
don't let their prejudice dictate public
morals.

The Poor Printer.
How the Government Skins tht
Country Publisher.
Pemberville (O.) Leader.

emUeiFiHe W. LedueT.
One of the greatest injustices prac-
ticed by the government is the fact
of the postoffice department printing
and selling envelopes, and at a price
below the actual cost to the printer
OF the raw material.
Then add to the injury the govern
ment deadheads the delivery of the
goods and charges up any deficiency,
real or imaginary, to the second-class
postage accorded to newspapers.
And to topit all off some OF the sap
suckers at the head of governmental
affairs are urging for an increase in
the rate of postage for newspapers
n rate, if adopted, that would be the
means of putting hundreds OF coun-
| try papers out of business. We don't
believe the people in general would
stand for this.
The fact is, the government uses the
mails with free list, which runs up
into many millions of pounds, and
the price paid the railroads for car
rying is charged up to the newspaper
second-class rate and noted as de-
ficiency.
The dealings OF the department are
unfair, for putting out commercial
work is not in line with a square deal
The only recourse perhaps is for the
country newspapers to whittle out q
''big stick" and get busy. 1t doesn t
pay to have everything one sided.
Too much is plenty. and not enough
is quite q few. Patience sometimes
ceases to be a virtue, and there is al
ways last straw.
