Better Treatment Must Be Accorded
the Black Man in His Natural
Habitat.

The South is the negro's natural
habitat, and the South has an econ
.omic need Of him. The interest Of
the South and Of the negro are COM
Elementary Sin the truest sense \ A
policy Of justice is likewise the policy
of eXpedience. n The negro labor,
which the South indispensably needs
for its own economic well-being, can
be retained If the South will, in its
treatment Of the negro, conform it's
practices to the chivalrous precepts
with which it decorates itself. When
the negro goes North, he is moved
more by the repulsion Of the condi-
tons that beset him in the South than
by the attraction of those hat invite
him to the North. His natural prefer
ence is to live in the South, but that
preference is not so strong that it can
not be nullifed by the injustices which
are done him too frequently in the
South. The negroes Of the South are
not seeking social equality. They do,
however, crave a larger opportunity
for educational, economic and social
progress than they enjoy, and It is
the denial Of this which makes SO
many of them yield to the lure OF
the North. The South has only to re-
form it's WI habits of conduct toward
the negro, to keep him contented, and
by doing that, preclude a repetition
Of the exhibition of savagery which
the country has been called on to wit.

LEMKE

In his dissenting opinion on the election case Justice
Robinson, who is given to picturesque forms Of express
sion, describes Mr.. Lemke, in his position of chairman
of the Republican state committee, az the bishop of the
Republican party. Bishop is excellent. There are a
good many Republicans who will scarcely consent to
comforting Episcopal authority on Mr.. Lemke so far as
their party is concerned, but there appears to be no good
reason why he should not be bishop of the Nonpartisan
league.
Let it be Bishop" Lemke, by all means.

tary force of that period, aided the people in their revolt against a des- potic and rotten monarchy while the Swiss guards, who were professional soldiers-hired to kill for pay and as wiling to serve a bad cause as good one-stood by the throne utterly care- less of all questions of right or wrong involved in their action.
 And in our own country, it will be remembered that the men who won the liberties we now enjoy from a tyran- nical and unjust government were farmers, woodsmen and tradesmen drawn from the forest. the farm and the blow while the Hessians, profes- sional fighters in the fullest sense of the term. were usually involved in the only defeats suffered by the patriot army.
 Organized labor realized these things and knew also that there was great need of military preparedness but un- til universal compulsory military training was proposed continued to of fer their opposition to an increase in the professional fighting forces.
 But when the proposal was made that universal compulsory service be- come the rule of the land for making that nation strong against the attack of possible foes organized labor im- mediately gave it's endorsement in obedience to the promptings of pru- dence and the understanding that the volunteere system had never at any time been entirely successful in rais- ing an active and well trained army.

A WISE DECISION.

The recent declarttion Tn favor of compulsory universal military train ing by the representatives of organ ized labor was, we believe. a very wise one. Also it may be well referred to as one of the most momentous events in the history of the United States.
 The workmen have always very wisely opposed military establish ments which were based upon a large standing army of professional soldiers They recognized instinctively that there was danger to the country in any form of military preparedness which involved large standing army of professional fighters and it is prob- ably due to their influence in the past that military preparedness did not take shape in the from of an increase in the size of our professional army. They very wisely reckoned that great standing army of professional fighting men would be dangerous to our internal liberties although prob- ably very effective. as defense from outside dangers.
 Bu they recognized also that uni versal compulsory military training is a very different things Liberty was never endangered by citizen soldiery but, on the contrary, has been many times preserved by body of tra,red citizens called from all walks of life to render service in the hour of their country's need.
 Always the history of the world shows that trained citizen soldiers and not professional fighters have made the best armies. Seldom do the records show that they have ever been conquered, when thoroughly trained, by armies of professional sol- diers. In practically every age and nation when opposed by professional soldiers they have been the final con- querors. The republic of ancient Greece defended by citizen soldier was unconquerable even when opposed by the mightiest of hosts and nc tyrant was every able to rise among them and overthrow their liberties or institutions while their armies were composed of trained citizens.
 Tn like manner was the Roman re- pubic free from danger and the lib- critics of her citizens free from attack from within and without while her citizens were trained to protect their country and her legions were compos- ed of citizens thoroughly trained by compulsory service and called from their peaceful avocations in the hour of danger and allowed to return to peaceful pursuits again when the dan- ger had passed.
