When we get through with all this
weary welter of candidates and per
sonal politics, the state press can
again get back to the discussion OF
questions affecting the material inter
ests of all the people, notable among
them the great cause of good roads.
Here is a paragraph from the Mont
gomery (Ala.) Journal worth reading
in that connection:
The man who for a moment doubts
the goOd roads proposition should
come to Montgomery county and see
what they have done for us. The home
seeker and land hunter now Will not
look at land off OF good roads, and
values there have largely enhanced.
Alabama must have good roads before
proper development can be had, but
the people must pay for them.

see you are advocating the ne

Bryan'S candidacy, but it is not
enough to send a delegation up 10 Den
Yer favorable to Bryan; they should
go instructed for him. We know
whom we want nom mated and we
can't afford to leave so important a
matter to the judgment or caprice of
any man Or set of men.
Those not willing to take orders
should step down and out There is
too much at stake. You are in a posi-
ton to start the bali rolling. The ex-
ecutive committee should prepare the
official ballots so the voters can vote
for or against instructions. BY all
means let lis send an instructed dele

Beard and Tillrnan
on Negro Suffrage.

AS is well known by al! the read
ing people of Florida, Hon. John S.
Beard, candidate for the United
States senate, insists that the fifteenth
amendment 10 the Federal cCnstitu-
ton. which confers the right of suf-
frage upon the negroes of jhc South,
was never legally adopted and that il
a case was made before the supreme
court of the United States, with all
the facts fully presented, that court
would declare the amendment null and
void as it had never been properly
ratified by the necessary number of
states in the Union.
MIR. Beard has thoroughly informed
himself on this subject and is making
it the leading issue in his senatorial
campaign. Undoubtedly he is awak-
ening interest in the question and his
candidacy is growing in strength. If
the fifteenth amendment Is invalid the
Southern negroes have no right to the
elective franchise. and if it is invalid
we cant know it too soon.
Up in Georgia, following the prece-
dent already established in number
of Southern states, the people are to-
vote in October on an amendment TO
their state constitution which provides
an educational and property qualifica-
ton which will undoubtedly disfran-
chise a large majority of the negroes
there, and as this Georgia issue is
vitality related to the question which
Mr.. Beard is now pressing in Flor
ida. il is we'll enough to find out how
the case stands there.
Senator Tillman recently spent sew
eral weeks in Atlanta, and a few DAYS
ego he was interviewed by the Atlanta
Journal TO know what he thought of
the late notorious black-and-whi ban
Quet in New York City and how it af-
fected the negro problem in the South.
The senator expressed his intense
disgust, of course, and referring to
the amalgamation and social equality
theories advocated, he is reported by
the Atlanta Journal as follows:
Such ideas Senator Tillman stated
that the south would forever resist at
every hazard He said that the best
way to eliminate the suggestion of so
cial equality was to remove political
equality, and that the best way to do
this is by the repeal of the fifteenth
amendment and the modification Of
the fourteenth. This not having been
done. it was pointed out that the states
OF the black belt, with the single ex-
ception of Georgia, had taken legal
steps 10 disfranchise large numbers
Of negroes. and that 1t was the duty
of Georgia to join her sister states
by the passage of a similar law
Mr.. Beard is not less intense in his
convictions on this subject than the
South Carolina senator. and while he
approaches the issue in a different
way the end in view is the same. The
question is. which is most practicable
to repeal the amendment, as sug-
gested by Senator Tillman, which
would require the endorsement of three
fourths of the state legislatures of the
Union. or 10 attack its validity before
the supreme court and nave it de-
clared null and void if IT was lille
gally adopted?
