The plea that the railroads must
go into politics in order to protect
themselves against the radical ac-
tlons of the people has its origin in
the mistrust of the capacity of the
people for self-government, and if
permitted, eventually results in
vicious Legislation and unjust dis
criminatiOns in favor of those who
assumed to protect the people
against themselves.
God has decreed that no man
shall get something for nothing.
The violation of both moral and
statute law by the railroads of the
country is now bearing its bitter
fruit all over the land, and the
easiest way for the railroad to re-
trieve themselves is to confine their
attention to matters Of tranSporta-
ton and leave the people to govern
themselves. Let them. like other

A Standpat Boom.

The vice president of the United
States has a boomlet for the presiden-
tial nomination which the New York
Post says is really difficult to de-
scribe. We do not notice the Fair
banks sentiment for the same reason
that we do not notice the circumna-
bient air because it envelops us SO
completely. We breathe it in; it
bears upon us from all sides with a
uniform pressure of Is pounds to the
square inch.
They reckon Ill who leave me out;
When me they fly am the wings,
am the doubter and the doubt,
am the hymn the Brahmin sings.
We have had men fight their way
into the presidency, stray into it by
accident, climb to it hand over hand,
Jump into it with sudden tremendous
effort. Fairbanks will not attain it in
any of these ways. He will be lifted
like canal boat IN a lock, sustained
by an element which, however placid
and inert, is resistless in it's rise" r

NEGRO IN POLITICS.
Is the DociIe Tool Of Republican Poll
ticians.

The negro has always been the tool
OF Republican politicians on account
Of his docility as a voter. The old
subterfuge Of 40 acres and mule
lasted for years and kept the credu-
lous cOlored brother constantly await
ing prosperity from his supposed Re-
publican benefactors which never
came. AS he became more worldly
wise the unfulfilled promises were for
gotten and the more feasible advan-
tage Of office holding and the profita-
bic experience of attending national
conventions was brought to his at
tention. But back of it all was the
feeling impressed by amendments to
the constitution that the Republican
party had freed the niger" and given
him vote. In the close and doubtful
northern states this fealty of the ne
gro has required an honorarium on
election day to make 1t binding enough
for him to cast his vote for the Re-
publicans.
The same old tricks are being
played on the colored brethren in the
Brownsville affair, which exhibits
fresh proof of the lack of sincerity of
the Republican leaders. The presi-
dent, with one hand flourishes the
big stick over the negro soldiers and
with the other is pretending to pla-
cate the race by the appointment to
office in Ohio of the right man il he
can find him. Son-in-Law Longworth
and the other Republican leaders are
aghast at this and put their veto on
it, at all events if the appointment is
to be made in their locality. Even
Foraker, who has jumped into the
ring as the defender of the negro SOL
diers, is also to be distrusted, for it is
very evident that he is opposing the
president for political ends, and that
is why Mr.. Roosevelt wants to ap
point negro to an important Office in
Ohio, to put Foraker in hole.
In nearly all the northern states the
negro voter holds the balance of pow
er, and if he should cut loose from his
Republican leading strings what a po.
litical revolution he would bring
about. He could defeat the Republi.
can nominee for president and change
the majority in congress of that party
to a minority with votes to spare
That the Democrats would reward him
for such political somersault is very
doubtful, but how docile and SUBJ
servient it would make the Republican
politicians at the next election They
would be forced to give the negro vot-
ers what they wanted and would hard
ly dare to deceive them any more.
There are great political possibilities
for the negro, if he only knew enough
to take advantage of it and could or.
ganize to carry out such a plan.

THE PANAMA CANAL HOODOO.
The Mysterious Something Which
Prevents Success.

There seems to be some hoodoo
hanging over the Panama canal ever
since President Roosevelt declared at
it's inception that he would show
them how to make the dirt fly" Most
of us have met similar troubles when
We have assumed the role of bragga-
docio and claimed the power to do
what common sense would have told
us was very difficult to do. Where
France failed we were sure to be sue
cessful The hoodoo seems principal.
ly to attach to the personal fortunes
of those selected by the president to
build the canal, beginning with Mr..
Wallace, who resigned for some un.
known reason and was rOundly de-
nounced by the president and Secre'
tary Metcalf as a seeker of pelf and
pusllanimous gutter, which may be
called hoodoo number one. Then Mr..
Shonts dropped out of the game with
the excuse that there was a more en-.
ticing and profitable one in progress in
New York, and this second gutter was
undoubtedly number two.
Hoodoo number three is brooding
over the fact that the canal is to be
built by contract and has given no
tice that in that event the chief en-
gineer will retire from the ring with
out even waiting for time to be called.
Why John F. Stevens threatens to be
hoodoo number three by refusing to
have charge of this great WORK which
we have been assured from the high
est source is equal to the glory of
soldier in the battle line, is conun-
drum that has not yet been answered
But the power of the hoodoo is sc
great that President Roosevelt Is said
to be veering around to having the
canal built by the government instead
of letting it out to be built by contract,
probably to try and break the streak
of i'll luck.
Those who are not superstitious may
look for the cause of the constant
changes in the chief officials in the
lack of consistent and Interchangeable
plans for the undertaking, which has
evidently got on the nerves of chair
men and chief engineers alike. Make
haste slowly is the only way that this
gigantic undertaking will be COM
pleted, whether built by the govern
ment or by contract.

&c. The number of convicts on hand at
the end of January was 1921, and that
