is THE SOUTH TOO TOLERANT TO
THE NEGRO.

Pursuing further its consideration OF
the always interesting Jim Crow
problems, the New York Times appears
to concede the contention of this paper
that the lack of proper standards and
sound public opinion In the negro race
causes the chief difficulty in pre-
serving good order in the colored cars.
1t adds, however, this singular sug-
sestion:
But is 1t not possible that the white
southerner himself might profitably be
little less tolerant of negro miscon-
duct?
Probably 1t would not be easy to find
more striking illustration than this
OF the great change which has come
over the spirit of Northern visions
about the South within even the past
decade. For half century and more
the North's advice to the South anent
the care Of its black charge has poured
out in ceaseless tide, but the tide
has borne nothing of this sor. upon its
bosom. In a thousand ways and with
all the vigor, positiveness and, not
rarely, arrogance and plying contempt,
the Northern Spokesman have told the
South without ceasing that they must
be more tolerant of the negro and his
(possible) foibles: that the black
brother possessed a, co-equal soul for
all his dusky tegument and that, con-
quently he was as good Especially
for Southerners) as any white man
that ever walked. That has always
been the burden of the Northern song.
the loud-twanged string upon the
Northern one-stringed Lutte: the South
must be very kind to the negroes. But
the years change. and we with them.
And now we find the able Times led,
and led solely by its intelligence. and
candor. to the rather extraordinary po-
sition whence it looks abroad over the
purview and cautions the South that it
must not be too tolerant of negro
misconduct"
Well, history shows that the South
is not prone TO be. Future history will
record also how the South has strug-
gled, is still struggling, with nobility
and fortitude, not to err too far in
that other direction whittier tempta-
tion and provocation continually press.
Occasionally, even now when the ter
rors of black domination have happily
lifted from our part of the world. self
restraint snaps under the stress of that
provocaton, aId there occurs one of
those sorrowfuh events at which the
North once threw aloft It's hands in
holy and Mortified indignation, but
which it now contemplates rather with
tragic sadness which knows itself a
potential sharer in such orgies. When
these times come, and may they be
rare. it will be satisfaction 10 us to
reflect, In all sincerity. that out of one
of the old abolitionist strongholds has
come to the South the sober message
that too much tolerance Of negro mis-
behavior may be as bad an error as
too little.

VIRGINIA CITIES AND THEIR GOV.
EMINENT

Modern and efficient city government
are coming for Virginia. This happy
contamination will certainly be delayed
two years, but If the cities md peo-
pie of this State prepare themselves,
1t need not be delayed longer. The
Times-Dispatch has for eighteen
months discussed and applied the COM
mission form of government with ref
erence to Richmond. 1t is fair to say
that not a month las passed when Rich
mond has not hal cause to regret the
unesca pable necessity Of government by
two chambers on ward line divisions.
Lack of harmony, inevitable disorgani-
zation, inefficient supervision and great
waste of energy have proved to be the
natural and unavoidable results OF BIZ
cnmeral and ward government.
What is true of Richmond is true
of every other city In Virginia. The
same intelligence and public spirit that
are shown by gratifying number of
be available for government by com
mission. Lost motion and the division
of responsibility are the prime defects
of that system OF government which IS
forced on Virginia by its Constitution.
but since neither of these difficulties
are necessarily Interchangeable, 1t only
remains Cor Virginia to adap- its Con-
stitution to modern conditions. II this
adaptation We're made and If the cities
were given power to organize their adj
ministra,ions along lines of approved
efficiency, a great saving in labor and
expense would be accomplished.
The Staunton Dispatch voices the
feeling of many other cities when IL
complains that the Legislature took no
steps towards remedyins this condition.
The best way to secure remedy in
1910 is for each city. through it's Cham
Der of Commerce, to work out plan
adapted to its Individual needs. Then
representatives of all the cities might
meet and try to agree on a general
law for the State. Certainly nothing
can he done If the cities wait until the
Legislature assemblies before coming to
a definite conclusion as 10 what is best
for their interests. Richmond has al
ready shown its appreciation of this
problem by having a full! discussion
before the Chamber of Commerce on
the commission plan suggested by the
City Council. The result of this dis
cussion was the immediate. rejection of
cleared somewhat. Now let the Cham
her of Commerce begin again and try
to reach a conclusion that will COM
mend itself to the intelligence ana
patriotism of the whole city.

A san Francisco View.

Editor of The Tlmes-DIspatch:
Sir,--In The Times-Dispatch of last
Saturday appears an editorial headed
us Every Saloon Nuisance?" 1t may
be interesting to know what the Whole
salers' and Retailers Review. liquor
organ of San Francisco, says on the
subject:
"A man who knows the saloons we'll
can honestly say that most Of them
have forfeited their right to live
'"The model saloon exists chiefly in
the minds of the the editors OF liquor
journals, in the Imagination of GER
tain type of ministers and in the my
thical stories sometimes rehearsed at
saloon mems camp fires
unfortunately. the average tipping
house is a. place Of ill-fame. place
OF shame and debauchery.
with comparatively few exceptions,
our saloons are houses OF drunken
men. profanity and obscenity of the
vilest possible type.
ut is no wonder that even In the
better towns OF the Wild West. as we'll
as the effete East and tho conservative
South, the stranger who visits a saloon
is at once invoiced, labelled and
damned.
This growing disrespect for the sa-
looms is the harvest Of tears ripencd
by the lurid glare of thousands OF
nights of hellish debauchery. 1T Is no
wonder that saloons in some localities
are called hel-fire clubs.
Journals like the Review preach
the gospel" % "of purity for the sa-
loon. but the preaching Is not heeded,
If indeed 1t is heard above the roar
of dissipated voices. Over all our
speaking trumpets the gray sea and
the loud winds answer: Not now; not
In this age OF Bacchus can your voice
be heard"

LuMBERMEN WIN THEIR CASE
Commission Rules That Railroads

Must Restore Old Rates.
Spokane and Pacific coast lumber
men won great victory over the rail-
roads when the interstate commerce
commission at Washington, D. c.,
handed down a decision which orders
the railroads to restore rates that
were in effect prior to November l.,
1907, on shipments from Coast points
to large part of the eastern markets.
In another decision the court orders
the railroads to make rates on lumber
shipped from the Spokane country
that will be lower than the Coast
rates.
The railroads last November ad-
vanced lumber rates from 20 to rs per
cent. The lumbermen resisted the ad-
vance and most Of them closed down
their mills in protest.
