Strikes the South
a Serious Blow.

In pardoning Oscar Sander, one. of
the men recently convicted here of
peOnage, President Roosevelt has
struck a serious blow at the best in
terests and the truest requirements OF
the south That this is so needs no
better proof than to merely cite the
fact that a great steamship system
refuses to do anything to build up
white immigration through New Or
leans because of peonage conditions
in the south.
AS a matter of fact, peonage is
nothing like as widespread as the
public imagines, nor as grievous in in
stances as would appear on the sur.
face; but it does exist, like a leprous
growth on our body polite, and it
ought to be stamped out by the sever,
est means known to the law. Until
il is, the south can not expect to Sc,
cure that class of intelligent white
foreign labor on which depends, to as
great extent as to any one factor,
the full realization of the south's ma
Jerlal glory.
Sanders pardon, whatever the pres
ident's motive and whatever the JUS
tifcation for multiplying the decree of
the court of justice, will operate on
the public mind to the prejudice of
the south, and on the minds of those
who practice peonage as an encour-
agement to continue their diabolic
practices. There may be personal
reasons why Sander should be treated
with executive leniency. but it were
better for him, part of the infamous
peonage system, TO suffer unduly, than
for the sOuth's interests to be leopard
lied because of a system of which
