In order to defeat the efforts OF the
people of Nashville who desire talr
and rigid enforcement of the law the
Nashville American resorts to the
often discredited argument that too
much law enforcement will hurt the
business interests of the city. This
falacy has been so frequently exploded
that It no longer has the slightest
weight with intelligent beings. Law
lessness, drunkenness, and civic cor
ruption never yet added one dollar to
the wealth of any community and 1t
never will.

KEEP TIE NEGRO ouT.

KEEP THE NEGRO OUT.
The better sentiment Of Columbia
will not approve the efforts Of selfish
and designing politicians 10 bring the
negro back into politics here. II is
unfortunate that men should become
so intent uDon the qualification Of a
selfish ambition or the accomplish
ment of selfish purposes that they
become blind to the higher interests
of their community. A long train OF
evil consequences has followed the
Acknowledgement of the negro. For
years the white people of the South
have suffered as the result OF meas
ure that was conceived In sectional
hate and adopted in an hour of mad
passion. No man can ever estimate
the dire consequences that have fol-
lowed this act of spite ana revenge.
1t is therefore strange that Southern
white men, residents of Maury county,
can get their own consent to use the
negro as a means for securing the
reigns of municipal government.
The South in recent years by the
aid of white primaries and
the adoption of educational qualitica-
tons. has escaped many of the evils
of negro suffrage. For years the ne
gro has not been a factor in the
notifies of Columbia and Maury coun-
ty. White men have been content TO
have their claims for Office passed
upon bv white men. Is this all to be
changed, have our candidates and
those selfish interests which expect to
profit by the election of certain candl-
dates become SO desperate that they
are unwilling that men of their own
color shall determine the character OF
government which the people of this
community are to enjoy during the
next two years?
Keep the negro out of politics. For
mnately our election laws Will pre-
vent many of them from voting, but
the negro is making progress. He Is
becoming better educated every day
and it will be only a few short years
until other and more effective meas
ures must be taken if he is TO be de-
MED commanding influence in our
elections. The negro of his own mo-
ton cares very little for politics. II
ii were not for selfish and designing
noliticians who use him as a tool to
further their interests the negro would
long ago have lost interest in the bal
lot. He is too easily susceptible TO
the most vicious influences and his
presence at the polls in any consld-
erable-force is always a menace to the
hest interests of the community
If The Herald had imagined that eff
forts would be made to decide the
coming municipal contest with negro
votes it would have voiced an earlier
protest and would have urged that a
white primary be held for the selec-
tion Of a white mans ticket. This is
now too late, but it can and does urge
that the white voters of Columbia re-
hike with their ballots those who are
willing to become the beneficiaries OF
negro suffrage.

Special 10 THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK, Del, Nov. 23.--Although the
much cherished honor Of being the cnom-
pions Of their class or even winning

Mprshail nevertheless there Is much that
is admirable III the team representing
the Blue and Gold this year.
Tho student body remains staunchly
loyal to ST.
Thus far the eleven has not succeeded
Ia winning a contest: in fact, 1t has been
oady defeated several times Neverthe-
less. the men have played good football.
and have been defeated only because they
wero up against superior combinations,
1r they got the worst end Of the ofn-
cials decisions.
Il was not expected that this would be
Delawares year, for many good men were
lost by graduation, but there is hope from
the material brought out this season thar
better things may be expected IN 1910.
Mr. MacAyoy Lafayettes former great
captain and fullback, assisted by Hoskins
and Wright Nof gridiron fame, have man
aged 10 install the fighting spirit into
their charges This was shown in the last
two games.
Starting with only two Of last years
FIRST string men, the coaches found il .
difficult task to build up a strong defense
and back field that could rip up the
opposing lines.
The scrub and varsity teams held their
last practice Of the year last Thursday,
when tie mer scored one touchdown
and The latter two. The scrub will not
appear on the gridiron again this year,
but mainly through their efforts has the
varsity been able TO make the showing

Light signal practice was the order Of
things on the field to-day, and after thir-

Everyone seems to have gotten over the

The Wilmington High School team

OF Philadelphia, here on Thursday.
There can be little doubt that this viii

though outweighed BY every team that
they have played this year. have been
outclassing thdm all IN point Of speed

the Wilmington team by eight pounds
to the man. but speed viii make up
for the lack of weight, and as the
locals have not lost n game the last
four weeks they have determined not
70 lose another game this season Two
defeats and seven victories have been
recorded for them. The latter in-
ciudes their biggest games, Chester,
whom they defeated, Q TO 6. and West
Chester, whom they defeated at Union
street grounds, ~ to 6.
The Cherry and White win be lighter
than ever before this season, owing to
The loss Of Cleland. the clever right
tackle. who was forced to quit the
game on account Of sickness. This is
the only loss 10 the squad this season,
as no one has been injured. CIeland's
loss IS severely felt, as the man talk
ing his place weighs only 1926 pounds,
while he weighs t6S4
Brown has not been seen on the
local gridiron since Thanksgiving Of
1903. when they defeated the High
School By q 8 to Q score. This years
team is much better than their former
teams. as can be seen by the relative
scores of it's games. In their captain,
Diamond. left halfback, they have an
aggressive player and ono Of the fast
est backs in Philadelphia. He has
been the star Of the games he has been
in, but owing to injuries he has been
forced out Of many. His injuries have
healed sufficiently for him to enter
the game on Thursday He is picked
as a halfback for the all scholastic
backfields around Philadelphia. The
two teams viii use the forward pass,
and all the modern football possible,
and a good game may be expected.

State Labor Commissioner Beck Says
License System Has Shown Coed
Results.

MADISON, Wis. March 17.-[Spe-
ciai. Labor Commissioner J. u. Beck.
in his report on the b. ker'S license law,
shows that the law has been of great
benefit in compelling sanitary conditions
in bakeries and in several other ways
{. j. Kremer, in his investigation of
the conditions in bakeries, shows that
during the year $50 bakers applied for
licenses and that of this number go
We're granted them. Some Of the others
did not come under the provisions of
the laws and so did not need licenses
The prosecutions for violation Of the
bakery law amounted TO about thirty
for the year 1907. and convictions were
secured III every case. During this same
period nearly 2O00 orders were issued.
These meant the enrire remodelng of
nineteen establishments. the abandon
ment Of twenty, and great improve
ment III furniture and utensils, besides Il
general overhauling of vast ma jority
of the bakeries of the state.
The report also speaks highly of the
work done by the first bakers institute
in the country. which was held under
the auspices of the extension department
OF the state university.
