NEGROES AS CENSUS ENUMER-
ATORS.

The representatives of the Southern
States in Congress, as indicated by tele-
grams from Washington, are protest
ing vigorously, as they should, against
the assignment in the South of negroes
as census enumerators.
II may be said in all candor that
there are limits to the negroes, and their
appointment as enumerators of the cen
sus in the South is one of these dis
tinctive restraints.
The people of the South do not want
the negroes to be authorized to take
the enumeration when there are white
men, good Republicans, who should be
recognized and invested with this lis
tineiion as a reward for Their fAlIry to
their party
AIT best the negro is always offensive
and there are many, indeed, the major
ity with rare exceptions, assume a de-
gree Of importance, amounting TO inso-
lence, whenever they are elevated by
Office from the level of their race.
In view Of the possibility of negroes
being named as census enumerators in
the South. the protests of the Souths
representatives in Congress can not be
too vigorous.
# President Taft will consider the
wishes Of the people of the South he
will intercede his influence in defeating
tie scheme for the recognition of the
negro politicians in the South.
Il President Taft would maintain the
respect and the good viii Of the South,
he wifi interpose against the appoint
nent of negroes as enumerators Of the
census IN the South.

PERIL IN MISSIONS SYSTEM.
Elsie SigeI Tragedy Attributed to Prae-
tice of Our Girls Teaching Chinese.

Elsie Siqel Tragedy Attributed to Prac-
tics Of Our Girls Teaching Chinese.
Declaring that the system of mis-
sions in New York's Chinatown In
having American girls teach Chinese
men is directly responsible for the
death of Elsie Sigel. granddaughter of
General Franz Sigel, whose body was
recently found in the room of William
Leon, Miss Helen f. Clark, director of
the Helen F. Clark mission in New
York, one of the leading missionaries
in the metropolis, denounced the plan
as source of moral corruption both
to the Chinese and to many of the
young women who teach them. Miss
Clark has an intimate knowledge Of
conditions among the Chinese.
Imagine our Young Women's Chris
tan association fitted out with a corps
of young and. for the most part, at
tractive girls as teachers" said she.
with teacher to each pupil, for the
purpose Of teaching some special sub
ject like English. Imagine a daily and
intimate association such as that sys-
tenn would lead to going on for month
after month and even year after year
and imagine the reputation the asso-
citation would have In a short time
under those conditions The case in
our Chinese missions, with their large
majority of women teachers, is sim
liar, except that it is rendered infinite
ly worse and more dangerous on &C
count of the traditional ideas, a hun
dred generations old. held by the Chi
nese regarding women.
''In China any social intercourse be-
tween the sexes is thing unheard of.
Take a young Chinese and suddenly
throw him into daily and intimate con-
tact with an attractive American girl
and consider the effect, as l have done
to my sorrow for many years. The
Chinese reverence learning, and in
point of education most Of them are
mere children beside our girls. As
soon as the first shock of being allowed
to SO much as speak to woman is
over they awaken to another concep-I
ton of women, and they almost fall
down and worship those girls as SUI
perior beings There follows the APP
parently harmless Irritation, the jilting
Of the man or the possible lowering of
his conception of American women by
some indiscretion on the part Of the
girl or, as happens in more cases than
/ care to think of, some terrible trag-
edy, of which the death of Elsie Sigel
is an example.
i believe that the death of Elsie
Sigel was one of those results. The
organizations that allow this thing to
go on and the parents who allow their
daughters to be drawn into this ter
rible net of temptation are the ones
who are to blame for the scores Of
heartbreaking tragedies Of which
have been the witness and the number
of which Is daily growing. To me one
of the most shocking of all the de-
velopments of this recent tragedy was
the finding of those hundreds of COM
promising letters written to Leon by /
white girls from all over the country |
II anything could show the results Of |
this pernicious system, that fact does |
it with terrible clearness. The time |
has come when something should be
done"

LYNCHING BY LAW AND LYNCH
ING BY THE MOB.

What is lynching?
It is the execution of human being
with and without the authority of law
There may be two orders of proceed
IRE, one being lynching by law and
the other lynching by the mob.
The only dissimilarity in the manner
of execution is that the lynching by law
is invested with sense of judicial ap-
proval, while the lynching by the moi
is denounced as outrageous and con-
demned in general terms.
The only one exception when the dis
credit of the mob may be RENTED is
in the case of rape-an assault upon a
woman with criminal intent-but for
every other crime the law should BIZ
permitted to take its course.
1t is true that in many instances the
people become exasperated over the
long delays secured on technicalities
and ridiculous pretenses, which fire.
quently lead to the release of an as
sassin with the blood of his victim
reeking from his hands, who should be
hanged, but equally reprehensible is
the "railroading," as it is called, at the
instigation of an over-w wrought clamor
against one charged with crime.
In the Vanceville tragedy there is
much to arouse the passions in resent
ment. 1t was crime attended with fe-
rocity, intensified by the provocation
unspeakable and indescribable, when it
was confessed to the parents by their
daughter who loved not wisely but too
well. /"
IT is not the purpose of the Caucas-
ian to indulge in a review of the case,
nor to anticipate the verdict which is to
be rendered by the trial jury, but it is
to consider the insistence of those who
are urging the trial of the accused ire
spective of the delays to which they are
entitled legally.
In the trial of the accused indicted
for the murder Of Winberck Boney Jr.,
it is assumed that the attorneys for the
prisoners, Hon Joannes Smith of Ben
ton and Hon. w. A. Mabry of Shreve-
port, will permit no undue Fastening of
the case, nor will District Attorney
Sandlin take any advantage which may
be unfair. AS the gentlemen in the case,
including the judge, are, one and all,
honorable and fair, the trial will pro-
gress as speedily as possible without
friction and unnecessary delays, but it
will not be "railroaded through the
court. as some of the few would have it.
Whatever may be the final of this
tragedy, if there is to be a hanging let
it be with the fullest consistence of law
and justice and not the mockery of a
judicial hanging. It is no less the duty
of the courts and the officers of the law
TO insist on a fair and impartial trial of
any one accused of crime than to have
ayfailroading" of the case through the
courts. In such an instance a convic-
ton and an execution could not be re-
lieved of the discredit of a lynching by
law, which is a greater offense against
the community and the State than a
Iynching BY the mob
