The speech OF Secretary William
1T. Taft at Kansas City. Missouri.
February 10th. 1905 was. so far as
his references TO the three war a.
mcndments are concerned. an unfor-
tunate delivcrance. Rightly inter-
preted and properly analysed. it will
tend 90 estrange and make impossible
the support OF every unprecedented.

leaving to time q legacy and TO the
liberal white people OF this section a
task which the constitutional pro-
visions of the United States declare
that the nation. through its duly e.
lected officers should perform.
We are presuming OF course that
this distinguished Ohioan was cor
rectly quoted. There has been no
denial and here is what the press
dispatches say:
Secretary Taft spoke Of the three
war amendments Of the Constitution
the thirteenth, fourteenth. and If
teenth. The operation of the hf-
teenth amendment. that which for
babe any State to deprive the Negro
of mis- vote on account Of his color
or previous conditions of servitude.
had not, d said. been as successful
as that OF the thirteenth and four
teenth. The leaders of the South
had. in many States, however, cast
about TO make the law square with
the existing conditions by property
and educational qualification which
should exclude most of the Negro
vote
This very DESIRE said the speak
er. TO avoid the violent methods
which were wont to overcome the
cOlored vote in the South itself in
dicates a turn for the better IL IS
said, however, and with truth, that
these election laws are intended 10
be enforced by means OF the discre-
tion vested in election officers, so as
TO exclude the ineligible colored man
with rigor. and 20 allow the ineligible
whites, who ought also TO be exclud-
ed, 10 the injury of the franchise.
Deplorable as this is, still the situa-
ton is by no means a hopeless one
for the Southern Negro
We have read these utterances a
gain and again and we fail TO find
one single idea advanced for the
lettering OF these conditions. He
tells US that conditions are not hope
I less, which indicates that TO the cas-
ual observer. they seem TO be. His
deliverances in this respect are con-
sonant and identical with the utter

portunity to express his opinion OF

explained to his readers the objec-

Garrison 10 the use OF his name and

MIR. Trotter shows that the article
OF which complaint was made was

Clarion Mr.. Garrison objected 90
the use Of the display headlines,
which placed him in the position Of
being antagonistic both in ideas and
principle to the distinguished Tus-
kegee educator. We have not as yet
been informed whether or not the
Boston Transcript was more liberal
to Mr.. Trotter than Mr. Trotter was
to Mr.. Garrison.
Mr.. Trotter says:
Let the readers of the Transcript
judge whether there is any unfair
spirit or personal animOsity display
ed in this typical criticism Of Mr..
Washington. and whether this crit
iclsm as Mr.. Garrison implies fails
TO be 'intelligible.'

TWO CROPS IN ONE SEASON
THAT BRING NET RETURNS
OF Sill.

G. J. Davis has just finished digging
his second crop of Irish potatoes from
ten acres and the yield from this
small plot of ground was 600 barrels.
At the market price of $1.75 per bar
rel the money yield from this second
crop is $3.50, or nearly 800 an acre.
Mr.. Davis threshed a crop of wheat
from the same land this summer,
making twenty busels to theacre or
200 bushels. The market on wheat at
threshing time was eighty cents a
bushel, or a total for the land of $3.50,
making total for the year from the
of $1,110, or $40 an acre. When
Maury county land brings in returns
of this character with ordinary farm
crops it is not to be wondered that
