Negro Lovers and Negro Haters to be
Avoided.
There are two extremes that
the people Of the South have had
to contend with since the close
of the war between the States,
the extremes among "Negropho-
lists" the negro lovers and the
negro haters. Each excites pity
and contempt in their different
phases whenever brought to the
attention of right thinking peo-
pie, but the unreasoning negro
hater has perhaps created more
trouble of late years than the
Abolitionists and negro lovers
formerly created.
We are led to make these re-
marks anent the resignation of
G. w. Jack as school director on
account of the late appointment
OF Prof. V. L. Roy as president
of the State Normal School at
Natchitoches, the ridiculous hull
labaloo that has been raised over
it in a few localities, and the SUBJ
sequent resigning from the fac
ulty of Mr.. Colt, as one of the
teachers in the school.
So far as Mr.. Colt is concern
ed, We understand his resignation
isquite acceptable tothe students,
as he was about the only unpop-
ular member of the faculty.
Prof. ]. w. Nicholson says
that the life of Prof. Roy is one
full of proud achievement; that
he. went through the State Uni
versity with splendid honors;
that he was selected and appoint
ed in the Southern University, a
negro school under State super
vision, because of his sterling
character and splendid equip
ment; that he was a Southern
man, born and reared in Louisi-
ana, of an excellent family, i'm
bued with Southern ideals and
sentiments, and just the man
wanted to teach the negroes,
whose troubles had largely grown
out of pernicious doctrines which
had been instilled into their minds
and hearts by Northern carpet
baggers.
Mr.. Roy hesitated about accept
ing the position, but after con-
sulting with Col. Nicholson, the
State authorities, and his own
family and friends at home in
Avoyelles parish, he accepted the
position as a matter Of practical
and patriotic service. In this
connection we are glad to note
that hundreds of citizens at
Marksville. Mansura, and other
points in Avoyelles parish, unite |
in a testimonial as to the high
character of Mr.. Roy. and their |
confidence in him.
The indignation worked up over
Mr.. Roy's appointment is both
sinful and silly. If in this chris
tian land and home of civiliza-
ton white preachers and teach
ers may not instruct the negroes |
in their benighted ignorance, how
in the name Of common sense are
they ever to become anything
but the victims of ignorance, vice
and crime?

HOMICIDE IN ARIZONA
lArizona RepuDlIcanl


 The statistics of deaths in Arizona as compiled by the territorial hea tn officer, present at least one fact of more than ordinary interest. His re port shows that in the fiscal year ended June 90, 1910, there were g. G54 deaths from all causes, and that in the fiscal year 1911 the number was 3,194 The increase was about i l-2 per cent.
 For the same years the deaths from homicide were: In 1910, total of 35, while in the last year the homicides numbered 56.
 in other words, while the total num- Der of deaths from all causes in creased less than five per cent, the deaths from homicide increased more than "A per cent
 This makes a bad showing for peace and order in Arizona. It is quite evident that life is becoming cheaper in this territory Why is il?
 For many years o0r citizens have taken pride in the rigid enforcement of the law against crime. Are our prosecuting attorneys and our luries becoming lax in the conviction or men GuagEeO NllN ltLt NtlibIo hN' grees of murder, and lis encourage ment thereby held out for the com. hitting Of crimes of violence? Are men of murderous impulses euCour- aged by the granting of pardons to murderers already cOnvicted2
 Whatever the correct answers to these questions may be, the fact that the number of homicides in this ter, ritory almCst doubled within twelve months ought to lead a good citizens to do some serious thinking.
 Chicago is frequently described as the wickedest city in the world, be cause the killings in that city aver age one a day. But Chicago has a population of more than two millions or about twelve times the popu alton of Arizona. And yet, while Chicago has amazed the world by producing q murderer for each day iH the yea. |. Arizona. with only one twelfth of Chl l cago's population has a killing every six days.

SUSPICIOUS SILENCE
 Of COL. RANDOLPH
The Fl Paso Times Manifests
 Alarm Thereat


 The Fl Paso Times (democraO is filled with suspicion which begins to leak out as follows:
 In all the sand that is being raised in the Arizona state campaign no one has yet been able to discover the imprint of the No. Elevens adorning the pedal extremities Of Col Epes Randolph, of Southern Pacific fame and accomplishment. To al intents and purposes Col Randolph is industriously saving Southern Pac- fife timber, and on the surface there is not the slightest ripple to indicate that he is aware of the fact that a state campaign is in progress in Ariz ona. There was a time when he spoke out in clarion-tones against the Red Flag provision for the recall of the judiciary, but since candidates for state office have begun to wiggle throughout Arizona, the head of the Southern Pacific interests in Ariz. ona and Mexico has remained as mute as the proyerLial and succulent biyal- ye known as the oyster.
 This fact, however, does not nee essarily imply that Col Epes Ran dolph is entirely oblivious to what is going on in Arizona. It does not mean that he has stuffed his ears with cotton or lost his far-seeing glas- ses It does not presage that the Southern Pacific has nothing at stake in the Arizona state election, or that it's brains are stupid 10 the existing situation. Deep waters run smoothly. Astute politicians ta little. Railway managers even with large designs, move in mystery, and while the Sphinx of the Southern Pacific is say. ing nothing for publication politically, there is nothing 10 indicate he has not his fingers on the political pulse and his far-seeing eyes on the politi. cal indicator.
 '1t is a pretty safe bet that when { Col Epes Rando ph cmerges from the 1 Southern Pacific depot at Tucson to take a special train for some point on the large system under his direction, his mind is not altogether expressed on the proposed extension to Douglas, or the number of strike-b breakers that have just arrived from St. Louis. In the comprehension and clarity of his vison he sees the troop of Arizona ! candidates for office fitting unceas. ingly by, and with the instincts of the born manager and director oi men, he knows just which and who Of the noble and imposing array is decorated with the SIP brand, well burned in.
 1 The colonel. however, is man oi | subtle mind and movement, His ons association with the genial and open hearted knights of the branding iron as well as those who win treasure from the bowels of the earth, in the Southwest, has not caused him to ahate one whit his natural predilec ton for caution, and in this branding business he violates all Southwestern custom, tradition and precedent While the other bosses of the range demand a conspicious brand on theil dogies that will render them easy oi identification even at long distances the SIP ranch boss insists that all hlS political mavericks shall wear Wet SP brand under their shirts where Il will not be subject to the gaze of the

(New York CommerciaD
 Note what the commissioner oi corporations has to say about com. petition in the cigar business:
 Where the control is only about 1 per cent. of the which is no control at all--the earnings nave never been over 9 per cent and fot four years or more, less than 6 per cent. while for two years 19O2 and i9G3y the company's cigar business brought to it exceedingly heavy loc' ses.' Here, comments the commis- sioner exultantly, was severe com petition and low earnings"
 Is that the ideal condition in any industry or business-severe competi- .tion, low earnings and heavy losses Is that the condition that the govern ment of the United States would re store by the rigid application of the law that is so drawn that it can be easily made an absurdity?

THERE'S NO LIMIT TO THE AMMUNITION.

We wonder, says the Douglas Dispatch. what weapon Of oTense or defense our democratic friends will use in the senatorial conflict. now that Hoyal A. Smith has climbed oEer the recall breastworlls. into the camp Of the enemy and spiked their can non with a pledge of presidential pri maries."
 We wonder also why the Dispatch has earelessly dsej the word climb ed That movement of Mir. Smiths was a marvellous leap. A less courage ous man would have faltercd when he saw where he was going and like Russian, he would have halted in midair and leaped back to the place whence he started. A less agile man than Mir. Smith would not have es' saved such an achievement in a sin gle leap but would have taken at least two jumps at it. A man of average discretion would not have tried it at all
 Again we ask" concludes the Dis patch. what ammunition is left for our democratic friends with which to oppose the advance of Hoyal Smith the Ivanhoe of Arizona politics"
 In reply, we would assure the anH ious inquirer that there is no end of ammunition. The magazines are vel stored with it this year, Mir. I've, has already drawn heavily upon il without making perceptible dinliuu ton. He has promised the farmer. Of Salt River Valley to give them powerful anaesthetic under whose in nuence the price of the Roosevelt dan will be extracted from them withou producing the painful sense Of separa ton. so that they may go down even tuaiy to their graves bearing wit them the happy Authorization tha they beat the government out of tn reservoir.
 The supply of ammunition IS by n means exhausted. MT.

 Only one exception has been made by the SIP ranch and range boss, and that is in the case of his candidate for the United States senate. The general attorney of the Southern Pac fife raj way in the state of Arizona is campaigning the state for the sen ate. and no effort is being made to obscure the SIP brand that is so plain ly marked on his person. Why this is so is one of those inscrutable mys teries attached to the fine and effec tive work that is being done by Col Randolph, and doubtless will remain unanswered.

Adams-) sircly to representative gc:ern- l ment.
 We may suppose that there are q. half dozen candidates for the nomina- acn for the presidency. The advis ory votes of the various states are likely to be so distributed among them that majority of the dclegate5. in tho national convention are not .atlliscd" in favor Of aay candidate In a rational democratic convention. it is necessary that two thirds of the delegates should be so "Jdyisod."
 The delegates under the Bourne 1 plau would be expected to be guided entirely by tho advisory vote and So would be prevented from c'.gasing I In d compromise in favo, O. one who might seem to be the strongest. can didate. Hence we have situation
 in which nomination becomes im-

The man who is standing up for you soon gets tired and sits down.
 Men never become so wise that they cannot be scared little by bluff
 Every man has more pure mischief in his nature than he is willing to admit
 About the time you reach fifty you begin seeing insults in the paper to the effect that you are old.
 Times seems to demonstrate that the man who was a little selfish was wiser than the man who was too gen erous.
 At some time in his life, every farmer who lives close to a town thinks of laying out a rival buryins ground,
 When a boy wants a favor from his parents he asks his fathers permis- sion and tells his mother he is go- ing to do it.
 A revolution is rarely good thing; one or two in a century is enough. The people always go back to order; this is the history of every reyolu- ton.
 A magazine writer lately made terrific attack on the men because they do not control their women folks. That's hard to do; the men have tried, and know.
