REAPING THE HARVEST.

= Elsewhere in this issue of the
Advocate, under the caption; Stop
killing, Stop LVncAing, Lest We Per-
ish.' is an editorial from The MEM
'phis, Tenn 6ommsrcial~ Appeal a
paper which is largely responsible
for the state Of anarchy in Tennessee
against which it now so bitterly COM
plains.
The whole Negro press, ably as
sisted by thoughtful men of both
races, Cassandralike, has warned the
nation against the danger of con-
doning lynchings. 1t has been point
ed out time and again that the wide
spread practice of the bodies Of men
infiicting punishment for crimes
without due process of law, would
react upon the White south, but only
here and there was any effort made
to enforce respect for the law.
Wilmington, Atlanta, the three
Springtields nor the thousand other
instances Of shooting, hanging and
burning at the stake had power tC
arouse the public mind to the gravity
of the situation. They were only
"nigsers'. Why concern ones self?
The answer came in the lynchine
| Of Rankin and the murder of Car
| mack, and the country at last awakes
to full realization of the danger OF
mob rule and lynch law.
| The law-loving black men NORTH
and South were shocked by these
| two atrocious crimes as much a.
were their white brethren, and a!
| deeply regret that these two live!
were necessary to the fulfillment o.
the law: What We SOW, that shall
We reap.

Our Tariff Interests.

(From Wheeling .Intelligencer.)
Attention is called, to. the acute in
terrest West Virginia has in the tariff
schedules, by the appearance before
the ways and means. committee of a
representative of the West Virginia
wool industry. Time was when sheep
raising was one of the important in
dustries in this state, and it is still
OF considerable value. AS our farm
ers who have been lured away from
the soil by the development Of coal,
oil and gas riches, return to agricul-
ture, wool growing is likely to re-
| sumo it's place as one Of. our chief ag-
ricultural pursuits. Under the viii
son tariff law wool sold tas low es 12
cents per pound throughout the Sec
ton and sheep brought from rs cents
to $1.0O per head. Wool has been
selling at from 28 to 40 cents during
recent years, and sheep almost in the
same proportion.
West Virginia coal and timber also
enjoy the benefits of >protectten to a
very liberal degree; and our impor-
tant glass and pottery: interests are
almost entirely dependent upon a
reasonable tariff schedule for their
existence. Our iron and steel mills
would undoubtedly be very severely
crippled by any radical tariff reduc-
ton. . 1t will be seen that on the
twhole, West Virginia cann0t. afford
to view the tariff revision proceed
ings with Indifference. =" >3Rhe" state is
fortunate In that it has one member
Of the ways and means: committee in
the house, in the person OF Congress-
man Gaines, and q member Of the
finance committee Of the senate, in
Mr.. Elkins. Without presupposine
that either Of these gentlemen will
allow prejudice or selfish interest tc
dictate his course, it, may be assum.
ed that both will keep an alert eyt
on the things of material benefit tc
ttheir state. ",''' =.

In the passing Of John V. Whitti-

A Primary Election Law.

(From Wheeling Jnte1ligencer,)
The Morgantown Chronicle, which
is almost invariably just and reason
able in it's editorial comments, thinks
that the .Intelligencer% is, inclined to
weaken, in advocacy of the primary
election law. The 1ntelligencer does
not SO regard 1t. The Cooper pri-
mary election law, whieh was before
the legislature two years ago, will
suit the Intelligencer very well
should the legislature pass 1t; but
the essential object. OF the Cooper
law can be obtained with much less
machinery and with a, much simpler
measure. --..,.....,

Ger convinces it that the people OF

ed that In each county they may have

to the sincerity Of his aute-election

any attempt to repeal the 15th

voters want it, and that the primary

voters want it, and that the primary
will be conducted under due legal
forms. AS it stands now the coun-
ty committees are laws unto them
selves. They may, as in Mopongaaia
county during the last / campaign,
provide for a co, nty primary con
duct it honestly and, thereby, Safety
every just demand OF the X6AGf8, for
they may, as in Harrison county, ar
bitrariIy agree to divide the dele
gates between leading candidates,
appoint the delegates to suit them
selves, and be sustained in lnaL ac7
ton by corrupt state committee.
These two lines of procedure illus
trate first the condition, that we wish
to bring about all over the state, and
second the condition that we wish to
abolish.
This result will be achieved by a
law that will make the action OF
party committees renewable by the
courts, that will require county pri-
maries whenever a reasonable num-
Der Of voters demand them, that will
fix the dates for county primaries at
some reasonable time, that will, re-
quire the proper registration Of INot-
ers to vote at the primaries, and that
will finally, throw the protection Of
the courts about, the ballots, ballot
boxes, tally, sheets, and records }of q
primary, SO that there may at any
reasonable time be fun and fair in
yestigation by the courts Of any sus-
picious proceeding. '@:s -
Certainly the Chronicle and every
other advocate Of primary election
law will admit that such q measure
would be long step In advance, and
the Inteliigencer is inclined to be-
lieve that it would answer every
good purpose, Concerning the state
wide primary instead Of the magis-
terial district Is to be made the unit,
the Intelligencer confesses 1T has
very grave doubt. The experiment
has not worked SO successfully in
some western states as was antici-
,pated, and does undoubtedly make
campaigning for state office lug
nry such as only the rich can indulge
in.

SEPARATE COACH NONSENSE.
From the. Charleston .Maill

+ tfTOm Lno' charleston Mall.
The Wheeling Intelligencer has
adopted a portion of the late Demo
cratic platform in West Virginia and
is demanding the enactment by the
Legislature of the Jim Grow" sepaA
rate coach Jaw The Intelligencer d. s.
clares that the Republican party lost
more votes in West Virginia on ac-
count Of that one proposition than
any other one question, and that it
is up to the Legislature. to take UP the
proposition for serious consideration
The IntelIigencer should keep it's files
before it wheIfsi it writes on such sub
ljects. The majority for Taft, in West
YirginiaF was more thar e 900 The
average ma FORTY for the Tplu b1ican
State ticket was upwards of 100000.
A greater ma iorty than was ever be-
fore given for that party. Mr.. Glass
cocks majority was approximately
$4,000. The dntelligencer, in explains
ing the result charged that the whis-
key interests and their opposition to
Mr.. Glasscock was responsible for the
cut Of his vote. Now, the Intelligent
ger would have. its readers believe
that George Byrne's negro plank was
| the cause Of a cut in the vote some
where, and since all the rest of the
ticket, except Mr.. Glasscock, nosed
out ahead Of all previous majorities,
| it would be: interesting 20 know
where the Intelligencer is. to apply
it's losses. The fact is that the In
| telligencer is simply taking up an is
| sue which is as dead az It is possible
fer votes to kill it.
We want. TO do the lntelligencer
the fairness to admit that it would
not advocate the separation of the
races unless the law were enacted SO
that it would compel rhc railroad
! company to provide the same accom-
modations for the black man that ii
would be compelled to provide for
| other people. In that event it is well
known that there is not a railroad op
Grating in West Virginia that could
or would want to comply with the
| law.
| Following the same suggestion a!
contained in the Intelligencer, i
would be necessary to provide sepa
rate street cars, separate ferries, sep
arate steamboats,, separate vehicles
for all kinds of public conveyance.
But this 1s5all rot. The only states
where tie separate coaches are es
tablished, by ilaw is where the rail
road compades are permitted to dc
as they please about providing. ac
Communications, and where In most in
stances; cheS black people ARE give,
about the same treatment sis pro
vided forscattle.
The Intefligencer has exhibited 1t
