Northern Race Prejudice.

Much has been said of the attitude
Of the north on the race question, as
indicated by the riots in the home of
Abraham Lincoln, in which negroes
were lynched under circumstances
quite as atrocious as ever prevailed
in the south.
"A good many lessons have been
drawn from it, and it is hoped that it
will go a long way towards silencing
the sectional criticisms of the south.
But there has been an echo OF that
race riot which is still more convinc-
ing as to the intolerance Of the north
towards the negro. In Springfield
grave crime has been committed-tle
same old crime which stirs the south
and the north alike to frenzy. The
people were in high state of ex-
citement.
In Gage Park, a suburb of Chicago,
however, there was no such excite
ment, and yet it develops that up there,
even further towards the north, that
race prejudice is equally uncompro-
missing A citizens association has or
ganized for the public welfare and in
the course Of their deliberations recent
ily it was learned that two ministers
were raising funds for the purpose Of
erecting a church for the negroes.
many of whom were expected to move
into Gage Park from Springfield. as
sort of haven of refuge from the intol-
Grant people of the latter city.
In an instant the citizens committee
looked like an incipient riot. One of
the excited citizens exclaimed that
with a shotgun or revolver in every
house, and a plentiful supply OF ropes
and trees, the people of Gage Park will
soon rid themselves of the forty-tWo
families of Springfield negroes which
two ministers propose to bring here"
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1908-09-04

Is there any community in the south
ern states where sentiments like that
would find utterance?
But the citizens committee Of Gage
Park went further and decided to
Blacklist any real estate agent who
agreed to sell or rent houses to ne
groes-.with the result no doubt. that
the negro refugees from Springfield
will not go to Gage Park, but, in all
probability, will come somewhere
south, where they have always found
their best friends.

A LATE ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
(Burlington Hawkeye)

The republicans of Iowa are certain
ly moving rapidly toward party har-
mony when the Marshalltown Times
Republican can say:
If a man voted for every republican
candidate on his ticket except one. he
would still be republican, wouldn't
he? How about 1t If he voted for two
thirds or more of the candidates on a
republican ticket?
Two years ago several thousand re-
publicans were reported to have
omitted voting for one candidate on
the ticket, and they We're subjected to
reproof 1t is gratifying to believe they
are republicans in good standing

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Burlington Hawkeye says the
place for Secretary Wilson is where
he is. ''He reflects more credit upon
Iowa and the nation as secretary Of
agriculture than in any other position
that could be given" continues the
Hawkeye. He has all the qualities re-
quired for a senator, an ambassador,
or any cabinet position, but nature has
endowed him with special qualities for
the great department over which he
presides with matchless ability"

able worker for Churchill county inter

deem the present condition as serious,
when all the interests Of the entire
state were figured az at the outset Of
the panic. At that time he was the
first to suggest special Legislation and
ielegraphed the governor that Churc-
hin county interests were jeopordized;
that special consideration should be
given the people of bis county and Of
the entire state, but the chief executive
did not coincide with our representa-
tive in the higher branch Of the state
legislature. Subsequent developments
demonstrated the wisdom OF Senator

more than one hundred and fifty names

w. B. Lamar.

An editorial in Saturdays Pensacola
Journal takes the ground that Mr.
Lamar is not a West Florida candi-
date for the senatorship and, presents
Mr. Beard as such. At the same time
it rather contradictory states that
1.-THE geographical location of can
didate has absolutely nothing to do
with his fitness or unfitness to repre-
sent his state in any official capacity"
Mr. Lamar though residing at Mon
ticellO is free from the charges made
against the other candidates that they
are solely representatives of the To-
calities where they reside, or as in
case of Gov Broward, of a machine.
Mr. Fletcher is known as the Jack
sOnville candidate, Mr. Beard as the
Pensacola candidate, and Gov Brow
ard as the machine candidate, and
Mr. Lamar is the only man announced
who is free from all local or public
entanglementS, and can act unpreiu-
dicedly for the interests of the entire
state.
This is one of the strongest points
in Mr. Lamars favor. Added to that
is the fact that he has had long and
successful experience in congress,
which experience ably fits him to do
better work for the State when ad-
vanced to the position of Senator.
Logically Lamar is the best equipped
man for the position, and the PILOT
urges its readers to give him their
earnest support.

Certainly, no state presents so many

We of the South are so wrapped up
in our crop of cotton that we often
forget the Importance Of corn-which
enables us to make cotton.
The corn crop Of the country for
1907 was 2.647,97S, 43G bushels. The
farm value of this crop was approx
mately 81 200 900 600. co.
Should this crop be actually incrcas-
ed to the extent of one kernel for
each ear grown the total value of the
increase would amount to 81 ,G20, 900 90.
What farmer has reached the limit
beyond which he is ready to admit
that ne cannot increase his crop one
kernel per ear.
The real profit, however. would be
much more than the value of the adj
ditional kernels. The mount Of land
to be broken, the number Of acres to
be would not be increased.
1t is therefore safe to estimate that
gain of l per cent in yield through
better methods means 3 per cent in
crease in Southern Ruralist.

FilibuStering.

The Democrats in Congress under
the lead of John Sharp Williams have
given notice that hereafter they will
resort to so called filibustering, that
is delaying of all business that NAV
come before the House. This is done
to punish the Republicans for their
failure to enact needed legislation.
While the provocation is great. the
remedy is puerile and damaging to
the party. What the people of this
country demand at the hands of con-
gress is action. If while it is abso-
lutely controlled by the Republican
party nothing is accomplished, that
party will suffer the condemnation of
the people for their inaction. But if
the minority, through obstructive
tilibustering delay action, they will
be charged with such obstruction as
party, and suffer accordingly. Pub
lie knockers are not at present i'm very

NC nav ( 4Iveu III Florida for many
Years ana We have never heard OF a
disaster from floods or suffocation
from heat, nor have we ever heard of
men, women and children freezing to
death from cold and in Florida we
have fewer diseases of a fatal nature
than any other state. Barring the
SICK who come here from other states
with one foot in the grave and the
other almost, and die, within its
borders, Florida has a lower death
rate than any other state in the
Union.
We suppose that one reason more
people do not come here to make
their permanent homes, where they
can enjoy such manifold advantages
Is due to the erroneous reports that
have gone abroad that Florida is a
Verltable bake-Cven in summer. This
idea comes principally through a
natural suppOsitiOn because of Flor
lda'S nearness to the equator. but
there are many who have had a
similar experience to ours, and have
found the heat in northern states far
more oppressive in summer than It'll
III Florida. In fact, the Florida sum-
mer temperature is several degrees
lower than that of other states and
this due to the fact that the PENN
Sula IS narrow and the breeZes from
the gulf and ocean keep the air cool
and pleasant, hence it is rarely un-
comfortable in the shade.
When this fact becomes thoroughly
rooted and grounded in the minds of
people Of other states there will be
many who will seek homes in Flo
rida, and they will find equally as
warm welcome as we extend to the
tourists who come and spend only a
few short weeks with us.-Clay Coun-
ty Times.
