REPUBLICANS OF THE SOUTH
Correspondent Says Triumph There De-
pends on Racial Discrimin alton.

To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: What Is q Republican, Until now
no satisfactory. comprehensive definition
has appeared IN print
Most people in the South realize the fact
that they are Republicans in political be-
lief, and that Republican policies conserve
the present prosperity and promise most
for the south's future development. At the
same time they prefer Democracy, social
ism or aaarchisrn TO negro domination.
With the popular cIamor against the pres
ent tariff schedule. the revolt Of the insur-
gents and socialism looming up as dark
cloud on the political horizon, it appears
that about now is propitious time FOR the
Republican administration 70 make some
overtures to the South. Give them some
assurance Of the Administrations earnest
support of a respectable white Republican
party in the South. remove from the South
erler's mind the fear OF carpet baggers,
negro legislation and negro of1cenolders-
and the change from a Democratic 70
Republican majority il the Solid South
will be 50 sudden as TO be startling.
How can the present administration do
this? I do not know. However, IN the
opinion OF many the success Of the Repuo-
ucan party in 1912 depends upon its accom-
plishment- It is something for Republican
statesmen to ponder over.
President Taft is more popular IN the
South than any Republican President since
the Civil War, and the South, like BarkiS,
is willing" a. H PERRY.

anything would be nuts to him which
would thwart the political progress and
discredit the political leadership of one
Otto Wittpenn. Of Jersey City, where

Of his Princeton friend.
OF course. there are others. Mr. Witt
penn. as already recorded in these col
umns. is already very much to the fore
as a candidate for Governor, with 6
substantial ;opular backing and the
prestige Of two terms Of acceptable ser
vice as Mayor of Jersey City. Mr.. Sil-
zer, Senator from Middlesex County, is

activity. Likewise there is Mr.. KaHen-

that any Of these will withdraw In

therefore depend upon the thoughtful
Democrats" James and Robert; with,
however, the embarrassing circum-
stance confronting him that while those
gentlemen may enjoy monopoly Of the
thought Of the state, they cast only q
minute fraction Of the votes. And 1t is
votes that elect a governor.
New-York tribune., 1910-07-17
PRIMITIVE MAN

For many educated Americans Ques-
tions about the inhabitants of this con-
tinent before the arrival Of the white
man possess no little fascination. IN the
latest Bulletin Of the American Geo
graphical Society Mr.. Harlan L. Smith,
of the Museum of Natural History, men
tions a field the exploration of which
may throw much light on some of these
problems 4 great deal is already known
about the customs and products Of the
Indians who lived IN the eastern part Of
the United States. The cliff dwellings
and pueblos of the Southwest have been
carefully studied, and much has been
learned about the civilization of the in
habitants OF that region. By the gener-
0sity of the late Morris *. Jesup it has
also been possible TO investigate the
tribes living on the north Pacific Coast
Regarding the people who dwelt in the
great area between the Mississippi Val
ley and the Coast Range, however, little
is yet known.
In the hope Of finding useful clews
Mr.. Smith made a reconnaissance Of Wy
Oming, near the centre of this area, in
1907 and 1908. He found there several
prehistoric QuarrieS. where material for
arrowheads had been obtained and part
ly shaped He also discovered stone pots
of q shape never before observed and
pottery moulded in q basket. Perhaps
the most suggestive revelation made by
him is that a considerable number Of
caves exist in Wyoming, filed with earth,
in which bones, implements and other
articles which should tell q story to the
archaologist are distributed. In only one
or two cases was more than superficial
examination possible. but enough was
seen TO invite further exploration.
Many persons who read this story will
sympathize with Mr.. Smiths wish that
these caves should be carefully investi-
gated. They may yield relics of races
essentially different in civilization from
the others which had homes elsewhere
IL America BY the relationships which
may be traced to contemporaneous or
earlier peoples fresh differences regard
ing origin of the first Inhabitants Of the
country may be rendered feasible. The
work should be conducted too. by men
of repute, assisted by competent geolo-
gists. who can pass Judgment on the an
tiqUity of the deposits in which the
bones and utensils are found. Concern
ing The genuineness of some of the arti-
cles offered TO prove that man lived in
North America many thousands Of years
ago there has been much dispute. Per-
haps something really decisive may be
unesrthed in Wyoming.

He TAXES EXCEPTION.
-ho E11,tor Of Tho Trihune

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Speaking as a lawyer, 1 venture TO
say that I believe yoa will find that Mayor
Gaynor's ruling IN r gard TO the prizehght
pictures is correct and that that of Justice
Swayze is wrong. As d judge the Mayor
was pretty generally right in his rulings,
and the simple logic" of Justice SwayZe
to which you refer is feel sure. quite too
simple to pass muster
A tapestry at the Metropolitan Museum
portrays most vividly a soldier in the act
OF disembowelling a prisoner. II 10 dis
embowel a person is a crime, and II JUS
tice Swayze's logic is right 1t Is also a
crime to allow that picture TO be shown
And children, you know, are encouraged to
visit the art gallery. I would rather have
my little boy see the fight pictures In
stances might be multiplied to show. the
absurdity OF the contention.
I do not doubt Justice Swayze's general
legal ability, but the amazing amount OF
twaddle that has been talked and printed
concerning these pictures Qn no respect
different from pictures that have been
shown for sixteen years without seriously
undermining the community's morals) has
been such as TO invoke a condition ap-
preaching hysteria in some usually very
able, level headed persons. LII. B.
