iAL CANDIDATES,

Many OF the State papers are sub
hitting queries to the gubernatoria
candidates which are liable to bring
ab.ut embarrassment. The follow
inc from the stanton Dispatch is an
instance at point:
Another request we would Ike "a
put 70 the candidates Is to cXriain to
the public how they will go about
the task of selecting men u fill the
hundreds of responsible positions uh'
der the state administ ration. We
refer TO such places as membership
on the various boards, head OF Inc
general hospital board. OF the fisher
les and other boards. viii they fol-
low the somewhat unbrCkcn custom
of naming political WORKERS whose
qualifications, so far as the pubic
knows are nil. or will they ADOPT the
plan OF seeking out men who are
known to have n: least general eX-
perience in affairs irnothing more?
VIII they do mere than tnis and seek
men specially qualified by study ana
experience for the duties to be per
formed?'
II answered at all. the Daily Press
dosent know how these interroga'
tories will be replied to by the can
didates in the field. But this paper
believes that the first Virginia COVER
nSr to break away from the some
what unbrOken custom of naming 10
litical workers whose qualifications.
so far as the public knows are NIL
will likewise be the first State execu-
tive in modern times to escape con-
Segment to pilitical oblivicn ut the
expiration OF his term.

RACE TROUBLES At THE
NORTH.

For number of weeks past the
Assoc lated Press has given much
space to race troubles-nOt in the
South. The antagonism on the Pa
cific coast to the Japanese: the riot
at South Omaha against GreeSs: the
Wholesale arrests Of negroes at Pitts
burg and the threats Of lynching ne
sroes al Ottumwa, Iowa. threats that
would have been carried out but TOT
the lack OF a leader-these are sam
pies OF recent news.
Strictly speaking. these are disturb
ances between races. 1t Is extreme
| " rare that such disturbances occur
at the South. Speaking accurately.
the North rather than the South has
race problems to settle.
The difference Is this: In the
North the clash is between two races
and is due to nee hatred. In the
South outbreaks result from crime
and are directed entirely against the
perpetrator
In South Omaha a Greek killed
policeman and the mob hunted down
Greeks-not particularly the man Yho
com mit,ed the murder. At Pittsbnrs
| negroes had committed crimes and
the authorities began to arrest ne
| sroes with nothing hut their color
to make them objects Of suspicion.
Even in Ottumwa. where the mon
seemed to have sense OF discrimina'
;ion. the threats were not conhned to
the negro suspected Of the chime that
called forth the vengeance Of the
\ mob. In the South the criminal
would have been caIgh. and summar
Nv punished without visibly disturb
ling the relations Of the whites and
blacks. A negro. not accused o.
icrime. would be perfectly safe in the
midst OF mob preparing 10 lynch
ano. her negro who was accused of
crime. Al the same time white
Imam surrounded by hundreds Of ne
eroes would be safe. This is true o.
