RUSSIA AND THE SOUTH.
(St. Paul Pioneer Press.)

It Is entirely proper that the Presi-
dent Of the United States and the Con-
gress should make formal protest,
even to the abrogation Of a treaty,
against Russia's failure to recognize
passports granted to American citiz-
ems of Jewish birth, but there Is a
little lesson at home that should be
learned by some of the Southern
Congressman who have been most
bitter in their denunciation Of Rus
STA for discriminating against Amer
lean citizens on account Of their
religion or race"
Many of the states of the South
openly discriminate against class Of
American citizens ION account Of
their race" Most Of the Southern
States have constitutional amend
ments or election laws which dis
franchise the Negro voters for no
other reason, whatever the various
excuses offered, than their race. It
will be at least interesting to watch
these Southern congressman who
have been so bitter In their denuncia-
ton Of Russia and see II they will
demand that the Legislatures of their
own states cease their discrimina-
lions against any American citizens
on account Of their race.
