MURDER AND LIFELONG RE-
MORSE.

Baltimore Sun: When the judge at
Hazlehurst, Miss. gave him life sem
tence in the penitentiary, DR.. Thomas
Birdsong, in the court room, wept bitter
tears and cried out that he would give
his life if it would restore that of the
man he had killed. Yet this DIR. Bird
song, in a personal quarrel, without
moments consideration of his act, drew
his pistol and killed Dr. A. P. Pitts.
They were both men of standing in the
community. men of intelligence-good
citizens. If Dr. Birdsong had for ar
instant considered the effects of his act
the death of his opponent, the suffer-
ing, disgrace, punishment, the lifelong
remorse that follows the killing of
fellow man-would he have fired thes
shot that killed Dr. Pitts? Pistol caf-'
rying in itself is great evil, and when
the man who carries the pistol is easy
to anger and entirely lacking in restraint
he is danger to himself and menace
to the community. Men sow the seeds
of lawlessness and reap the harvest of
murder and remorse.

THE. FEDERAL JUDGESHIP.

Who is to be the successor of Judge
Saunders, who has resigned his office as
Judge of the Federal Court for the East
ern District of Louisiana, is of interest
to the legal profession in Louisiana, as
we'll as at the Capital of the Nation.
The appointment is to be made by
President Roosevelt, who has announced
that he will name Republican and not
a Democrat.
There are two Republicans who, as
reported from Washington, are being
considered, one being Hon. Rufus +.
Foster of Orleans. district attorney of
the district, and Hon. Charlton Beattie
of Thibodaux. Besides these two, Judge
Walter B. Sommerville of New Orleans,
of the Civil District Court, is pros
pectice aspirant of prominence. There
are others who are Democrats, but these
have not a ghost of show"
The office should be filled by one OF
the brainiest of Republicans i'll Louis
lana. As usual, when some spolls OF
office are in sight there is a vigorous
fight along the Republican line in Louis
lana. 1t is assumed that the President
will name the man of his choice regard
less of the endorsement of congressional
committees or the partisans of his party

GENERAL HEARING.
This Request Made by Calves
ton Chamber of Commerce.

Austin, Jan. 9-The railroad COM
mission has received a petition from
the Galveston chamber of commerce
asking that it hold a general hearing
to consider the matter of readjusting
rates in and out of Galveston on class
es and commodities, the idea being to
have the differential abolished, like
the court ordered on the Brownsville
line.
Chairman Mayfield was the only
commissioner present. and he said he
had nothing to say in regard to the
matter at this time.
1t is known that Commissioners
Mayfield and Storey discussed the mat
ter before the petition arrived, and
had consulted with Office Assistant
Attorney General Walthall in regard
to the matter. Mr.. Walthall has not
advised the commission as yet It
is probable that the commission may
call hearing in line with Galveston's
petition.

THE LAW INDICATED.

The verdict of the jury in the case OF
the men tried at Union City, Tenn. fo1
the murder of Captain Rankin is guilty
The men convicted are: Garrett John
son. It'd Burton, Boy Ransom. Fred
Pinion, Arthur Cloar and Sam Apple
white guilty of murder in the first de-
gree. with Morris and Bob Hoffman
with mitigating circumstances, and
"Bud" Morris and Bob Hoffman, the
other defendants, guilty of murder IN
the second degree, and fixed the punish
ment of the latter at twenty years III
the penitentiary The punishment of the
first six named defendants was left to
the court. and may be death or lite I'M
prisonment. Such is the information
conveyed by telegram.
This verdict is responsive to the evil
dence and the law.
The murder of Captain Rankin was
as cowardly as it was atrocious. 1t was
a crime which aroused the resentment
of every man throughout the country
having any feeling and not allied with
the lawless.
The murder of Captain Rankin was
the climax to series of outrages If
which women and aged men and nler
defenseless has been compelled to sub
init to the indignities of the lash, ane
whose homes were burned, when they
escaped with death.
For months the inhabitants of Obior
County have been terrorlzed, but these
NAV now be treasured and feel easier
since the law has been vindicated.
To have convicted these men i'll the
face of many disadvantages and the all
powerful influence operating agains

Had the jurors been men of less cour-
age there would have been a mistrial II
not an acquittal.,
In this triumph of the law and justice
Governor Patterson is entitled to thu
fullest commentator.
Regardless of threats and of attempts
at intimidation the district attorney ant

ed in the hay in one of the stalls in
the Star wagon yard on Houston
street one horse persisted and four 9TH
ers were badly burned. two of them so
severely that they will probably die.
The horses were enveloped in flames
before they began to neigh and kick
so as to attract the attention of the
men in the office, who had to fight
their way into the stalls to cut ropes
with which the animals were tied.
Two Of the rescued horses had the hair
burned off and great bleeding blisters

WHITE SOLIDARITY THE
SOUTH'S ONLY
-
SAFETY.

The news comes from Washington
this morning that in regard to the
iudgeship made vacant here by the re-
signation of Judge Saunders, Pres pent
Roosevelt is going to make the appd ut
ment. and is not going to leave 1t over
for Judge Taft and, moreover, he intends
to appoint Republican.
If this be so, it is probably the best
way out of complications that might
come, and under certain circumstances
are certain to come later. AS much as
the Picayune would like to see a good
Democrat in this judgeship, it regards
with great distrust Judge Taft's pro-
posed policy of buying up the South into
the Republican party by handing out the
Federal Offices to Southern Democrats.
The Picayune would heartily approve
of all influential white Republican party
in the South to keep watch on the
Democrats and hold them to high prin-
ciples, but such con 'ition can not be
safely consummated as long as the ne
groes are in our midst In the course of
few decades all the negroes will read
adm write, and then they will vote. They
will have right to vote, and the Re-
publican party dominating the country
will see that they vote. Then the ne
groes will be organized into solid and
powerful wedge to split the white domi-
nation and it will be done if our people
shall yield to the temptation to sell
themselves for Federal Office.
Already an organization put forward
and maintained by Northern men to Sc
cure the rapid education of the negroes
in the South has secured the aid and
backing of prominent Southern men, and
whatever may be the professed prin-
ciples on which it is based, the actual
and sure results will be to arm the ne
groes with suffrage. 1t should not be
forgotten that South Carolina and Mis-
sppi have large negro majorlties of
population, while Louisiana, with a
white majority, has very large negro
population In many congressional dis
tricts in various Southern States Che
negroes outnumber the whites.
Then, if the Southern whites shall fail
to stand together and allow themselves
to be wheedled out of their only pro-
lection against negro domination, then
Southern white supremacy will be lost,
Just as our ingenious and cunning Re-
publican foes are planning for. A con-
tinuance of Solid South for the main-
tenance of white supremacy is the sal
vation-and the only salvation-of our
social institutions and principles. s.

WHY IS IT?

Why is it that so few young men quail
ify for the teachers calling? Wages are
fairly good now for competent teach
ers and men are always in demand. The
State maintains at Natchitoches school
for the training of teachers. The ex-
penses of attending the Normal are but
nominal, yet very few young men are
taking the course. Since the completion
Of the new dormitory the school has
room for about two hundred more
voung men than it has.-C oushatta Citi-
ZEN.
Why Is It? There may be many
causes and as many reasons. A great
many young men become teachers as
preliminary to the legal profession
Among the most brilliant of attorneys
are numbered men who were teachers.
II is conceded that competent teachers
are always in demand" The young man
possessing brain and having ambition
win not larry long in the school room
with It's dull and ever firing monot-
oay. And then what are the opportuni-
lies for advancement? With the great
n,ajority it is: "Once teacher always
! teacher" The system Of teaching and
of teachers could be greatly improved
= Louisiona. It will not be denied that
lie hest brain should be engaged fol
1eaching, but what brainy man will
waste his years in the school room at a
nominal salary?

THE COLOR LINE IN WASHING
TON. s

Til New Orleans States: The New
York Age, which advertises itself .as an
Afro-American journal, is bitter its
complaint thot "in the new Central ia
ton at Washington the colored people
are regularly and systematically Jim
crowed-that is, set aside at special
place at the lunch counter and in the.
dining room. The Age asserts that
this arrangement and discrimination is
an insult to the whole race, but it does
not appear that the representatives OF
other races are making any objections OF
raising any row because a separate place
also is set aside for them and they are
not allowed to eat with the colored
people.
There are no doubt a great many
white persons in Washington who would
like to eat with the negroes, but it seems
they are also the victims of discrimina-
ton because they are, required by the
rules of the Central Station to take their
lunch or dinner at the places reserved
for the people of their race and color.
There is no complaint made by the Age
regarding the quality of the food or'the
service supplied the whites and blacks
for both are the same.
The trouble, it appears, is due to that
peculiar trait of the negro's character,
the cause of most of his misfortunes,
which prompts the desire to get away
from is own race and color and thrust
himself into the company of other peo-
pie who do not desire to be associated
with him. The Charleston News and
Courier states the case correctly when it
says that the discrimination concerning
which the New York Age complains rs,
as matter of fact, as much against the
white people who would like to asso-
ciate with the negroes as it is against
the negroes, who would like to associate
with the white people"
