THE NEGRO IN THE SOUTH.

That the south Is the best place for
the negro and that education ought
10 prove his salvation were two OF
the points made by Robert X. Nor
ton, commandant OF cadets at Hamp-
ton institute. in a recent address.
Thoughtful negroes as well as
thoughtful white men," he said, are
agreed that the south offers the
largest opportunity for the negro.
economically. socially and morally. II
is also agreed by the thoughtful peo-
pie, black and white, that the rural
districts in the south offer the great
est opportunity for the masses of the
colored people. 1t is fair to assume,
then,
THAT for the present at least the
south cannot depend on foreign immi-
grants for its farm operatives, its do
mestic and personal service. or its un-
skilled and unskilled labor.
THAT 1t must depend on the negro
for the present and also the very dis
tant future TO recruit the ranks OF
this form OF labor;
That, IL the negro is to constitute
the mass OF Industrial operatives OF
the south. il is imperative for the
! common good that there should be
sympathetic cooperation with the
white workers engaged in similar
forms of industry;
That every effort should be exert
ed on the part OF the south to make
these laborers. black and white. more
reliable. more skillful and more eff
cient; that the laborer can be kept
efficient and skillful only as his en-
vironment Is wholesome and strength
ening and not weakening and demor-
| alizing;
THAT it Is the duty OF every pa
triotic southerner to use every pos
sible means for the practical, sympa-
thetic training OF these workers and
their children through a thorough,
well regulated school system.
1T Is frequently asserted by care
less and thoughtful speakers and
writer's that all negres are lazy, shift
less and inefficient; but in practically
every district where negroes are en-
ployed, whether as farm laborers or
as mechanical laborers. the verdict is

are reliable. many Of them are skillful
and very efficient. and not few are
almost indispensable. There are very
few places In the south where the en-
ployer would be willing TO dispense
with the services Of his negro EN-
ployes."

A story OF reckless disregard OF the

were put over before my eyes there

Not n policeman showed up at tho
polling place until II o'clock in the
morning.
The Metropolitan had one repre-.
sentative there who came TO tho poll
ing place numberless times. always
towing n few negroes behind him His
tactics were to stand at the door
while the negroes got their ballots.
They would scratch the no. hand
the ballot still open TO one OF the
judges, who looked to see II the fran

take the negroes outside and pay them
off. He had a book with the names
OF his voters In II. and he would
mark Y or two X's before each name.
according to how much the fellow
was going to get l challenged six
votes, every one OF which had been

The difficult thing about the prob

The Ulstermen resent home rule be-

government This il seems the home

Ulstermen objected and so no com

OUT OF PLACE

Among the guests at IA reception
was distinguished man OF letters. He
was grave and somewhat taclturn.
One Of the women present suggested
to the hostess that he seemed TO be
out OF place at such a party.

bright smile. "you zee he can't talk
but sense"

mouth. II would postpone work there
for a whole year, and would mean that
the larger ships which will seek the
coast traffic through the Panama ca
nal would be denied entrance to The
Columbia. Trade and commerce
would settle in other channels and
our loss would be enormous.
1t would postpone for a whole year
the completion of the canal at Cello
and delay for that period other i'm
provements above. and include a
years postponement Of boat lines that
would otherwise be established as
soon as the Cello work is completed.
Oregon has never Jared so well in an
appropriation bill. But Borah sue
ceeded Wednesday in displacing the
measure on the calendar with the
Trade Commission bill. Burton is
prepared to fillibuster the bill to
death. The attempt to kill 1t is not
in fair fight but by Indian tactics
and by false charge that the bill is
pork barrel measure.
General Dan c. Kingman, chief Of
United States engineers. says there Is
less than one half OF one per cent
pork in the pending rivers and harbors
bill. He is backed by the whole corps
OF engineers, and against tnis expert
testimony are the cheap criticisms Of
pin-head congressman. ignorant OF
what they art talking about, and rail-
road newspapers which fight the bill
as a service to the railroad companies.
In such a debate, when vast COM
mercial and industrial interests are at
stake, there is no question about
which side TO believe. When great
drainage basins are TO be served. when
vast producing empires need appro-
| priations for improvement Of rivers
and harbors. when almost boundless
agricultural areas need the lower
freight rates that improved rivers will
give. 1t Is a crime against the nation
for the greatest rivers and harbors
bill In American history to be stabbed
to death.
Every project in oregon is hanging
in the balance. Defeat OF the bill
means stagnation in government work
on every project for a whole year. II
means retrogression and loss.
The citizens. the commercial bodies

in the whole Pacific Northwest ought

JUDGES ACT
RECALLS MURDER
OF HIS FATHER

ELKION, Nd, Jan. 1.-The action OF
Chief Judge Constable in removing the
prisoners from an excited community,
recalls the exciting incidents that arose
in Elston in the latter part of August,
1905, when the judges father, Albert
Constable, one OF Mafyland's most bril-
liant lawyers, was waylaid. robbed and
murdered while taking his usual evening
walk over Red Till, a nalf mile from Elk
ton. The community at that time was
thoroughly aroused over the crime and
two culored men were later arrested,
charged with the murder.
Mr.. Constable who expired in a Balti-
more hospital four days after being shot
stated to the present chief Judge before
he died that he believed he was shot by
vorng white man. but the Prosecuting
Attorney az that time, Austin J.. Croth
crs, later governor of Maryland, insisted
on fastening the crime ON two colore'
men. john Holland and Henry Hops
and for a time threats We're freely made
to take them from lElkton Jail and lyncl
them. The colDred men were tried bcfor
