of knowing that he did his part; and II

helped it, and the country will move
along as usual Of course, If everybody
thought alike there would never be any
elections except the mere formallty OF
having them. But parties form merely
because men differ on most public ques-
tons, and it is all in getting majority
to think one way, which is as liable to be
the way you think as not. This thing
of politics really is the governing prl1l-
ciple of the whole world anyhow, and
it cannot be cried down or eXpunged
from the affairs of State. Life under
any kind of government would be
mighty humdrum affair if there were
not different parties which could oppose
each other upon occasion. so, after
all, politics is a very human institution.

fellows who say things for making them
otherwise. An election crowd is neither
one thing nor the other while the votes

In Palisade at the November 3 election

in the village. The sun was glorious,
the temperature wonderful, being be-

THE NEGROES AND THE SOUTH.
Continued from Page Two.)

Continued from Page Two.)
When the truth is told, the negro has no
such friend in the wide expanse from the
Atlantic to the Pacific as the white people
Of the South, who understand the foibles Of
the race far better than any one else, and
who has taken an interest in his welfare.
Thrown into cold and strange country, where
individual achievement is all that interests,
the negro is shown no consideration. His in
frmities are not countenanced and his short
comings are not overlooked.
There is no country that suits the negro
as we'll as these Southern states. Nowhere
else is he understood so we'll as here. Take
the country negro, who has spent his life on
the farm, and let him be transplanted to
other section, and he will not only be seized
with the homesickness which is an incident to
such changes with all people of every color
and condition, but the affection will be of
such violent nature that he will not long
survive it.
Thousands of American negroes were lured
to Liberia years ago. They had this expert
ence A few only were able to make their
return back to the South and the rest in the
country Of their fathers have not prospered
Today they are believed to be less in number
and certainly in the majority of cases in
worse condition than they were when they
went.
The negroes Of the South may be scat
tered over the rest of the country by the
slow moving causes of generations, but that
such distribution or change of location can
be accomplished in a short time by whole
sale exodus from the South and colonization
in other states, is an irridescent dream.-Au-
