Bad, But Still Good.

A judge from one of the African
crown colonies, now home on leave,
is telling this story: Il is the custom
in the local courts to administer to the
natives the form of oath which they
consider most binding. One day a
Christian colored gentleman, of whose
good faith the Judge entertained some
doubts, was about to give evidence. At
his own request he was allowed to
take the oath OF Christian. Then the
Judge intimated that he must also be
sworn in the native fashion The man
was visibly disconnected. ooh! no,

Here is proposed constitutional
amendment recommended by the for
estry commissioner of Minnesota:
To secure sustained yield of i'm
Der for the use of the people of this
State the proper officers shall an
naully levy and collect tax of three
tenths of one mill on each dollar Of
the taxable property within this State,
the proceeds of which shall be used
for the purchase of land for the State
adapted for forest at not over $500
per acre, and for the production and
maintenance thereon of forest accord
ing to forestry principles. Unexpend-
ed balances shall not lapse but con-
stitute a fund for forestry purposes.
The timber produced thereon shall
be sold at fair valuation and the
revenue therefrOm be paid into the
State treasury; except that one quar-
ter of the net revenue shall be paid
to the towns in which the land is
situated in aid of public schools and
roads. Should any tract acquired be
found better adapted for any other
purpose than the production of timber,
it may be sold or leased and the pro-
ceeds used for acquiring or developing
forestry land. Until otherwise direct.
ed by the legislature, which may sup
plement these provisions with neces-
sary enactments, the State forestry
board shall draw and disburse the
money hereby provided and purchase,
manage and control the lands and
forests. No money shall be paid for
any tract until the attorney general
shall certify to the validity of the
title. 1t shall be competent for two
successive regular legislatures, by
two-thirds vote of each house, to al.
ter or repeal any of these provisions.

effect plan of reforestation as eX-
tersile as the above. To accomplish
this there should be an additional tax
of three-;elths of one mill on all tax
able property in the state, being only
thirty cents ON each thousand dollars.
This would raise about 100000 an
nually and be sufficient to carry the
plan into effect. That the plan may
be permanent it should be authorized
by constitutional amendment such
as herewith proposed. That 1t may
not seem cxtravagant let me mention
that for forestry Pennsylvania APP
propriates annually 100000 and New
York 100000.
If the next Legislature were to sub
nit the amendment it could not be
voted on until the general election i'll

be available under it sooner than 1918.

The Neh, York Niscegenafi0n
Banquet.
THE JEFFERsONrAN.

The wave of disgust and indignation
which has swept over the whole country
in the wake of the banquet of the white
and-black Cosmopolitan Society of New
York, proves how fundamentally right
the Southern States have always been
on the race question.
The social equality and the intermar-
riage Of whites and blacks, as advocated
by the negro and Caucasian speakers at
this loathsome New York dinner, is moth
ing more nor less than the revival of the
preachment of such rabid Abolitionists
as Henry Ward Beecher, Theodore Til
ton, VIM. Lloyd Garrison and the other
incendiaries who fired the torch of Civil
War
AS we took pains to demonstrate in
the book Bethany" the Southern lead
ers who took the Confederate States out
Of the Union were able to do so because
the Abolitionists were not only preaching
Emancipation but Social Equality and
Miscegenation. =
Almost the identical words uttered by
Hamilton Holt, editor of the N Y indie
pendent at the Cosmopolitan banquet,
were used by Henry Ward Beecher, be-
fore the Civil War, and quoted in Beth
any,"
The horrible doctrine that the black
skin would gradually become white by
the intermarriage of the races was one
of Beecher's monomaniacal conceptions.
That it has cropped out again is not
strange that it should excite as mitch dis
gust in New York as in any Southern
City is glorious vindication of the
Old South-the old hate-stricken, war
worn South.
For the right of the state to regulate
it's own domestic affairs for Home Rule
i'll its highest and best sense for the in
tegrity and the purity of the superior race,
the South has stood, has fought, has seem
ed to lose, but has finally won.
We scorn the white harlots-at-heart
who pretend to seek lifting of the
world through the prostitution of the
women Of the superior race!
We scorn the white degenerates who
dshonor their white mothers and sisters
by advocating the foul doctrine that the
higher race must lift the lower by taking
the lower plane itself!
Such theories are the offspring of dis
eased brains, morbid broodings, distem-
pered sectionalism. Such white women
as attended that Cosmopolitan banquet
deserve niger lovers and husbands.
Such white men as attended it deserve
niger mistresSes and wives.

The Ringsfers Are Reb0lnti0nizng
Our Systems.


Orr Systems.
Do the people of Georgia realize what
the new rules of the Democratic Execu-
tive Committee mean?
The effort is being made to overthrow,
by Committee rulings, the system OF pop
ular self-government which has existed
ever since Georgia became an indie
pendent state.
Without consulting the people, without
any referendum vote, without any prev
ious instruction or notice, these political
wire-workers,- scheming behind closed
doors,-have revolutionized our system Of
Government.
ANYBODY who will study our institu-
tons will see at once that ours is not
pure democracy. Neither in national af
fairs nor in state affairs does mere weight
of population rule The evil of a pure
democracy is that the minority have no
protection from the majority.
Upon that hidden reef all the pure
democracies OF, ancient and modern times
struck and went down.
Our forefathers wished to avoid this
danger, and therefore, in framing national
and state governments, they invented a
system of checks and balances by which
the minority could protect itself against
an INSCRIPTIONS majority.
If our system of government were in
tended to be a pure democracy, repre-
sentation would be based on population
alone.
But it is not so. Population controls
the lower House of Congress but the state
organization, as a unit, controls the Sen
ate. In the House of Representatives
New York and Pennsylvania are given
the full preponderance of their popula-
ton, but in the Senate,-the higher body,
the state organizations are equal. In
other words, the Senate is check on the
House.
The idea is that mere numbers shall
not arbitrarily rule. ,Majorities shall not
have everything their own way. Minori-
ties shall have representation and protec-
ton The State units of Georgia and of
Delaware shall be equal to the state units
Of Ohio New York, Texas and Pennsyl-
vania.
The population of New York gives her
thirty odd times as much power in the
House as Delaware; but in the Senate the
two are equal.
Thus Our national system is mixed
system-power being based partly upon
population and partly on territorial or
ganization.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1908-05-07

Perhaps the plainest case of legisla-
ture ever selling completely out-body
and soul-was in New York when the
Anti-Gambling Race Track bill was be-
fore that body.
A day or two before the vote was
reached even the big gamblers and little
crooks admitted that the bill would pass
and that they would be put out of bust
ness.
But it was case of life and death with
the gamblers, so they sent 100000 to Al
bany to literally buy the defeat of the bill,
and they succeeded.
Led by Pat McCarren, the notorious
Democrat, and aided by Few Republi-
cans, enough votes were juggled in the
Senate to prevent the passage Of the bill,
and Governor Hughes efforts to rid the
State of this evil element were defeated.
But this crowd had not stopped to
reckon with Governor Hughes, and here
they have struck a snag.
No sooner had the legislature adjourn
ed than the Governor issued call for an
extra session and he is not failing to let
"the people at home" know how the diff
ferent members voted.
Tom Watson says he heartily favors
the election of senator's, judges and other
officials by direct vote of the people. If
that is POpulist doctrine, The Times must
plead guilty to entertaining the same
ideas,-Dublin Times.

NO CREDIT DUE TO PARTY

The Georgia Legislature recently
passed state prohibition law.
Georgia is intensely Democratic and
the Legislature is overwhelmingly
OF that persuasion. Naturally we
would expect the credit for Geor-
gia's action would be given the
men OF that party. The Atlanta
Constitution. the leading Democrat
ic paper of the South. gives most
OF the credit to men who are think
ing for themselves, regardless Of
party lines. The two most conspic-
uous men being. Thomas E. Watson,
Populist, and Walter B. Hnl, Pro-
hi6itionist. The words Of the Con-
stitution are worth repeating for
they carry a lesson to Missouri
Democrats and Others:
The truth OF the matter is that
Watson has whipped In HIS fight
against organized Democracy. The
political leayen that he planted
years ago has done It's work, and
today the victory is his. The break
Ing of the party lines for which he
fought, and Is still fighting. has
come to pass.
And the people OF the state have
thrown political creed and party
organization to the winds and writ
ten late before the one-time GeOr-
sia Democracy.
There are certain things the
people want and mean to have.
They begun to have them In the
states; they have begun to have
them in the nation. In the accom-
plishment OF these objects. party
creed and party organization viii
