REPROACHFUL.

We clip from Lexington Leader
of May Is:
The election of 1905 in Louis
vile. in which Paul Barth was de-
clared Mayor, the minor officers
being given to his supporters, was
characterized by more wanton and
inhuman thievery and corruption
than ever occurred in this State
before. Aided and allotted by the
Granger administration then in
power, the Barth party resorted to
every conceivable device of infamy
which made it possible for hired
thugs. ex-convicts, and parolled
jail-birds to steal an election. In
truth. the contest for Offices was
not between Democrats and Repub-
licanS but was between the cOali-
ton of the best elements of both
parties on the one side and the
worst element of both parties on
the other"
We regret to know that in this
election there was great dishonor.
Every Democrat who advocates
fairness. honesty and honor in
elections should be glad to see all
those who hold stolen offices COM
pletcly sidetracked. Again we say
man who steals vote is thief.

WHAT SHALL WE DO ON
SUNDAY

The Northern General Assembly
of the Presbyterian church adopted
quite stringent resolutions in re-
gard to the observance of the Sab
bath. The Sunday newspaper is
diSapproved. funerals on Sunday
are not approved. We would like
for our Presbyterian brethren to
indicate in what way they think
the ordinary man. woman or fam
ily ought to spend the Sabbath
day. Lexington Gazette.
No doubt such information will
be furnished. Improvement will
come when people quit reading
Sunday papers. When they quit,
editors will soon cease to publish
such papers. Men and women
who are Christians should not
spend the Lords day reading the
usual Sunday secular papers.

One of the Prolific Causes ct
Southern Race Trouble.
New Orleans Paper Takes a
Strong Stand.
TO BREAK UP GREAT EVIL.
Kew Orleans Times Dem 1crat. !

During the past winter h e
Times-Democrat called attention
in a number of articles to the evils
of the miscegenations between
whites and blacks prevailing in
some parts of the South, and
urged that action be taken to break
up a practice that is one of the
most prolific causes of race trou-
BILE. Southern statesmen have APP
preciated this fact, but they have
shown in many instances a lament
able weakness in dealing with this
feature of the race problem.
Every Southern State, for in
stance, prohibits the marriage be-
tween whites and negroes. but
only IA few of them have had the
courage to 90 step further. like
Mississippi, and to make miscege-
nation, illicit relations between
the races. crime, although it
leads to even more difficulties than
the intermarriages. As long As
miscegenatiOn is allowed it estab-
fishes, the Times-DemOcrat point
ell out, relations between the races
degrading to the whites, spreading
false ideas among the negroes and
breeding up a race of half-breeds
who have proved nuisance. if
not a danger. in every land where
they have existed. Nearly every
serious trouble between the races
is connected in some way with the
evil of miscegenatiOn.
Our warning, while it produced
some effect, did not accomplish all
we hoped for. What we said was
conceded by all, and on this point
there is apparently no difference
of opinion. The difficulty lies in
securing the necessary legislation
to stop miscegenation by making
it a crime. When bill to that
effect came before the Louisiana
Legislature not a member wohld
say word against it, and appar-
emily there was no opposition: yet
none the less the bill died. being

as is the practice with measures

a committee was appointed to
draw up a petition to the Louisi-
ana Legislature embracing this
idea. as well AS to correspond with
the police iuries of the other par
ishes to get their aid and cooper
alton in the war it is proposed to
wage against miscegenation--
which committee was made a per
manent one to keep hammering
away until the desired law was
passed.
In the meanwhile, however,
some good is expected to be done
by the passage of more severe or
dinances dealing with the problem
and the more rigid enforcement of
the vagrancy laws.
1t is quite evident from the tone
of the speeches that the movement
against miscegenation is going to
be successful. 1t will be unfortu-
nate if it does not spread through
out the entire South.

paign of morality and decency GER
tain to succeed. and which, we
hope, will spread to other portions
of the State and force tho Legisla-
ture to do what it should have
done long ago-put an end to mis-
cegenation and break up the dis
reputable negro establishments in
our towns that are corrupting the
youth of the State and generating
and encouraging crime.
The murder which so stirred
West Feliciana occurred at the
house of a negro woman in that
parish, the victim being a young
white man of good family, muir
dered by another young white
man who lived with the negroes.
The investigation which the crime
led to disclosed the fact that this
place was only one of many in the
parish, and the young man who
did the killing and the young man
who was killed were but following
the practices that had become very
common.
1t was thought necessary to call
the people together to consider the
situation and see what steps should
be taken to break up what was
recognized to be a great evil and a
great danger to the community.
This meeting was outspoken in its
language. The chairman insisted
that the parish should take some
action-and the State also-look
ing to the preservation of the
purity of the white race, and the
prevention of Amalgamation be-
tween the races by illicit inter-
course, as well as by forbidding
marriage. He pointed out the
great danger to the State. and to
the whole South, from the hordes
of mulatto children growing up,
and predicted that if something
was not done to stop it immediate
ly that day of fearful reckoning
would come. He also urged that
it was every mans duty 10 do what
he could To help keep ms State and
town morally pure, and to assist
the authorities in their efforts to
preserve morality, and that it was
the duty of The meeting by express
sion of Sympathy and by sugges-
tions of hel p and advice to streng-
then the hands of the officials, and
to appeal to all legislative bodies,
parochiaI, municipal and State, to
grant more power to their eXecu-
tive officers by ordinances and
statutes supplying any deficiencies
in the present laws.
A number Of speeches were
made counseling restraint, and
urging that whatever was done
should be done peaceably under
the law. and not violently and by
a mob: and it was suggested that
the State Legislature be memorial
