Fort Worth Telegram: The Aus
tin Tribune laments the difficulty
newspapers experience in getting
election returns in Texas declaring
that "the inefflciency OF Texas to
procure election returns is a standing
joke in the United States" AS a
reason the Tribune blames "the in
difference with which the election
machinery is handled" asserting that
competence is much neglected
quality among the average election
officer The condition OF which the
Tribune complains has been the de-
spalr OF every daily Texas newspa-
per for many years. II will be a
source of complaint for many years
to come because of the states size,
tho remoteness of many settlements,
and poor telegraphic and telephone
service which prevails in large areas.
The custom has grown of getting
returns from as many precincts as
possible on election night, compsr-
ing them with returns for the pre-
vious election, and then estimating
totals on a percentage basis, This

Southern Representation in Congress

Houston Chronicle In letter to
W. r. Meredith, a Taft democrat OF
Virginia, President Roosevelt has
written as follows:
Il do not believe there Is sin.
gle individual OF any consequence
who seriously dreams OF cutting
down Southern representation, and !
should have no hesitation in stating
anywncre and at any time that as
long as the election laws are consti-
Mtionally enforced without dlscrim.
nation as 10 color, the fear that
Southern representation in congrc. s
viii be cut down is both idle and
absurd"
This Is reassuring. It should be
remembered that only four years ago
Mr.. Roosevelt was running for pres
ident on platform declaring for
the reduction OF Southern represent
alton. But the Norths view OF the
negro question at the South has been
much changed, The best opinion on
the further side of the Mason and
Dixon line now Is that the South
knows more about the negro, that
our intentions are beneflcent--
In Indian pharse we have taken
counsel, our heart is good, our head
Is wlse'--and that II is best to let
the South settle It's own problem
In It's own way, which will be the
best way for both the white man
and the black man in the South and
for the nation. The opinion of the
supreme court OF the United States
recently handed down In the Berea
college case, which came up from
Kentucky is certain to strengthen
the North in It's pro-Southem view;
as good Americans. Northern men
pay great respect to the highest Am
erlcan tribunal, which is the most
learned, as 1t is the most powerful
court on earth
But in some parts Of the North the
old anti-southern prejudice prevails
and negrophillsm, which in its un-
wisdom, has done the race much
harm has not altogether died out
Broad minded men will regret to
see trace OF this in the Spring
field, Mass, Republican, one OF tho

ton that Southern franchise laws
are being 'eongtItutionally enforced
without discrimination as to color"
Is the toqntry 70 understand he
really thinks that such is the casc?"
Now the Southern franchise laws
are "constltutionally enforced with
out discrimination as 10 color" II
this were not so the United States
courls which cover in their jurisdic-
ton the entire South, would quick
~ enforce them Some preiudiced
people will not believe that these
laws are constitutional. The SUI
preme court OF the United States says
they are and when that court says
yea only the bllndest and most stub
born prejudice can continue to say
nay.
Why assume that the South does
not treat the negro fairly? The
Southern negroes are not complain
ing, II they thought they had cause
for complaint the courts are open.
The truth Is that the idea OF
championing the negro's- cause, which
since the' emancipation proclamation
has needed no championship per-
slsts in the land OF IT'S origin. Their
republican partisanship is strong and
"the solid South" is a democratic
force which gals them who are
most attached TO the other party, But
the Springfield Republican is too lib
eral-minded o paper to continue to
reflect even a faint degree such par

batting views which have already
done the nation too much hurt Let
try TO get the Southern
and Southerners to under
stand the Northern ideas. ITO under
stand everything is to forgive every
thing" as the French finely say.
Let us be good Americans and broad
and deep-hearted, loving our
whole country, the prosperity of
which sosmuch depends on good feel
ing between the sections and South

tween the races.

Hereford Brand: The coming Of
H. C. Pierce to Texas and his arrest
at Austin gives an eye into the
realms Of middle-age chiyalry An
ordinary man, accused OF such
high crime, would have been hunted
like a wild beast, the officers would
have been hot upon his trail; when
found he would have been placed in
shackles, bound hand and foot to the
seat of day coach hauled into the
state and jerled before the courts
for trial. But not so with Mr..
Pierce. He was implored to come
back to Texas; he promised; he
postponed the time again and again;
1t was finally announced in scare
head lines" Of the big dailies that
he, the oil manager had started in
his special car to Texas; he arrived
in Austin during the night, awaits
his time to arise in the morning,
walks leisurely with friends over
to the hotel, dimes and laughs with
his friends; after hearty breakfast
walks with these and other friends
over the sheriff's office; the sheriff
greets him with a hearty handshake
In the hall; the party retire to the
sheriff's private office, where a con-
sultatlon is held; bond for $2O,-
600 has already heen prepared; his
attcs" Nrs examine it, it is signed and
Mr.. Pierce is o FREE man. Under
bond he promises to "come back"
again, possibly at his leisure, and
stand trial for perjury, Nothing
was said to him about an arrest; the
high sheriff forewent the pleasure of
saying in gutteral tones Consider
yourself under arrest" An ordinary
man would have been thrown into
jail, to await his friends to make
bond; he would have been jumped
on while at his breakfast or snatched
out Of bed and not given time to get
his boots on--but there is a differ
enec.
