THE new SOUTH.
Northern Comment on SoutbeEners'
Espeeches on the South. -

Herald.
The address given by President AL
derman of the University of Virginia
at the Civic Forum in New York on
Sunday night and the address given
by Judge Thomas, of Montgomery,
Ala, last evening before the Boston
Congregational Club, go well together
as clean-cut, definite statements of the
position of the educated, liberal, mod
ern South man toward the negro. He
is to be trained for citizenship, pre-
vented from lawfully intermingling
his blood with the white race, taught
as much as he can master, but with
en- phasis on preparation for a life OF
manual labor, and never suffered to
regain political control. The legal
emancipation of slaves effected by
Lincoln, must now be followed by tine
negro races emancipation of itself,
thrift and personal worth being the
chief means of progress. These
Southerners agree in their diagnosis
of the evil caused by granting the suf-
trage to the negro, and in their predic-
ton that in the future 1.-THE door OF
hope is mot closed to those who pre-
pare themselves for intelligent citizen

far as to intimate that b day is COM

whites as well as among blacks, the
right Of suffrage will be achieved, no

The most significant fact about these
addresses of President Alderman anC
Judge Thomas is net in their senti
ment as much as it is the fact that they
are spoken in the North, at the invita-
ton of serious-minded Northerner'
seeking wisdom. Eighteen years agt

In part:
Welcome to America.
I'VE ask you to send YOUR people

Pacific thai separate, yet At the same
time Join ms, must be guarded by our
two powers.
Navy Stands For Peace.
I'VE sincerely believe that the great
navy which you are so proud to pos
sess, and we are so proud to welcome,
stands for those principles, which, in
supreme moments. can rise above a
question OF ace and color. We are
your friends forever"
Great Enthusiasm,
The address was received with the
widest enthusiasm, as was also &C.
corded the response by Admiral Sper-
ry, which was couched in terms of tn.

odds apply to Illinois. Wisconsin,
Michigan and Iowa. So far there have
been so few takers that the bets are
hardly worth recording.
Trading OF Bryan.
In Illinois, as in New York, the
democrats are trad ng heavily to de-
feat the republican gubernatorial IAN
didates. This indicates that they have
~despaired of winning the electoral vote
in these two states for Bryan. This
trading has gone to such an extent
In New York that betting odds that
Hughes will be elected have been

being wagered.
Democrats Abandon Bryan.
In Illinois the democrats have aban
joned the state SO far as the electoral
ticket is concerned. but they are max

Boston Herald: The Rev. Dr.. Philip

phatic protest against religious re-

experience that they lead only to an
artificial and hectic sort Of religious
enthusiasm that in the end does more
harm than good to the churches en-
ploying such methods. More good,
he opines. can be done by a dozen
earnest and quiet workers than by all
