Louis Compliment to Condo.

One need not overlook the enormous
shortcomings of Louis XIV. as a man
and as a king to admit that in some i'm
portant respects he tried to do his
duty" He was a hard working sover-
eign both in the sphere Of administra-
ton and in that social sphere which
was to his mind no less important. So
courteous that he never passed the
poorest woman about the palace with
out lifting his hat. he carried polite
consideration to the level of a fne art.
In the way of courteous speech there
are few things nobler than his remark
to the great Condo as the old hero
was slowly ascending the great marble
staircase at Versailles. Condo apollo
gized for being so long in mounting the
steps, at the top of which the king
stood waiting. "Ah, cousin" Louis re-
piled, lone moves slowly when one is
laden with laurels."

Tho Great Expuucer.

In 1884, after an exciting debate Of
several weeks, congress passed a res
olution c~ensuring President Andrew
Jackson for removing the public de-
posits from the old National bank.
The resolution as passed by congress
declared that the president in the
late executive proceedings in relation
to the public revenue has assumed
upon himself authority and power nor
conferred by the constitution and Ia WIS.
but in derogation of both" The ac-
ton of congress made Jackson and his
friends very angry, and Senator Thorn
as Benton Of Missouri gave notice that
he would bring forward every year q
resolution to expunge the resolution Of
censure. After a struggle of three years
Benton's resolution was finally passed.
and black lines were drawn around
the resolution of censure. with the in
scription, "Expunged by the order of
the senate this 10th day of January,
1887" Senator Benton was nicknamed
1.-THE great expunger." His service to
Jackson on this matter was considered
the more remarkable because many
years before he and Jackson had a
pistol fight in a hotel at Nashville, in
which Jackson was wounded and Ben
ton was pitched headlong downstairs.

Sorsby Seeks Pardon.

Will Sorsby, who killed
Charles Fitzgerald at the rail-
road station in Clinton eight
years ago, and was sentenced
for life in the penitentiary, is
seeking a pardon. His petition
was before the pardon board
at the July meeting and will
be pressed by Sorsby's family
and friends. The facts con-
nected with the killing are
still fresh in the minds of the
people of the state and will
long be remembered on ac-
count of their unjustifable and
cold blooded circumstances.
Sorsby was the deputy post
master at Clinton and Fitzger-
aid was post office Inspector
and checked up Sorsby short
in his account at the office.
Sorsby followed Fitzgerald to
the train and importuned him
to not expose him and when
confronted with the statement
that the Inspector would do his
duty and report the facts to
the post Office department
Sorsby drew a pistol and shot
Fitzgerald dead. He then
made his escape but was finally
captured and brought back,
tried and convicted of murder
and given the life sentence.
His offense is the gravest
known to the law. 1t was cold
blooded and wholly without a
justifable feature or mitigat-
ing circumstance. He got off
light and should be made to
serve the sentence the jury and
court fixed. His pardon should
not be considered or granted.
He is as cold blooded a MUIR
derer as was ever brought be-
fore a court of justice.

tried by laws made by the
white the court is made up of
a white judge, a white jury
and all other officers are white.
Yet, you never see any injus-
tice done the negro in the trial
of his case, whether civil or
criminal.
Just how the editor of the
Detroit Journal could have
worked himself up to the point
of making such a nefarious
charge is difficult to imagine.
He could not justify the north
the crime was too black. But
he must find some pretext to
mitigate the offense, if posi-
BILE, and the south was made
the original offender. The
south has always shouldered
its part of the responsibility
for the social conditions in it's
section, but it cannot be made
the scapegoat for such offenses
as the Detroit Journal would
lay at it's door. Justice will
not lay this crime at our door.

Holds South Responsible.

to Guido the south in lynchings. In
point Of numbers murdered, in sheer
brutality and viciousness, the south
has nc record that will compare with
that made at East st. Louis. 1t is a
blot that Illinois can never wipe from
it's tablets.
Yet if justice were to be done this
East st. Louis crime would be placed
at the doors of the south. 1t was in
that section that mob law was de-
veloped into a code. 1t was there
that men first were permitted to
nourish the fiendish idea that lynch
ing was a virtue, that hanging ne
groes without due process of law ar
gued a superior sense of righteous
ness, that race hatred and race tyr
amy were cultivated as a duty in
citizenship. Had there been many
men of high courage in public office
instead of many men of feeble char
acter, lynching would have been
crushed at its first appearance. Had
the south had any sense of resposi-
bility toward the negro, had it de-
sired to improve him, had it done
anything else except to exploit his
labor and maintain him in squalor
and ignorance, the crime held to be
peculiarly negro crimes would not
have occurred, this migration into
the north would not have started,
lynching would have been unheard
of.
The south ear taunt the north for
eclipsing it in savagery. 1t is a
shame we feel and suffer. Yet what
the north has done has been simply
to f1atter by imitation. The crime of
lynching is still the southerner's
crime. He devised it, developed it.,
gave it pridefully to the country as
a sectional product. However hard
III sin, there is satisfaction in
knowing that we were incapable of
creating it.-Detroit Journal.
1t has been left to the city Of
automobiles, the great indus
trial center of the northwest,
the beautiful and erstwhile
democratic city of Detroit to
furnish the most vicious, unfair
and untrue charge ever lodged
by one section of the country
against another. The above
vile editorial from the Detroit
Journal shows to what depth
Of Islander some northerners
can go to revile the south. The
charge that the south first
mobbed people is wholly with
out foundation in fact. No
such offense against statute
was ever known in the
south before the civil war, and
history furnishes instances
where pious New England took
the lives of innocent people in
the most cruel manner in nu-
merous instances and without
the shadow of legal authority.
The crime for which the negro
in the south pays the death
penalty will bring to him the
same swift punishment in 9TH
er sections of the country if
there is some one present with
the nerve to tie a rope. In the
East st. Louis riots it was SIM
ply a case of the white rising
up and killing innocent, inof-
fensive and industrious negroes
for the very simple reason that
they were taking jobs that the
whites wanted. Such a thing
never did and never will occur
in the south. We go after and
get the right negro and stop
there. There is no burning Of
houses dragging negro women
from their homes and mobbing
them and their children. No
where in the world is the rights
of the negro more thoroughly
respected and guarded than in
the south. In our courts he is

BY w. ANTHONY AERY.

Hampton, Na.-"The supply OF col.
ored teachers Is entirely inadequate,
and the preparation OF many Of those
employed to teach Is woefully meager
The outlook would be well nigh hope
less but for the abounding evidence
that conditions are better today than
they We're yesterday and the well
founded hone that they will be better
tomorrow than they are today.
There is great need for better train
ed leaders, and all the tendencies OF
the Hampton Summer school the past
summer Were in the direction of minis
tering more to the needs of this class,
leaving the instruction of the rank and
file of teachers to the other summer
schools, which have been increasing
rapidly H. recent years. We believe
that results will eventually show the
wisdom OF this policy
DIR. George Z. Phenix, director of the
Hampton Summer school, recently
made these statements. together with
another statement, which is significant:
THE Hampton Summer school was
full nearly a month before the date of
OltlllllE. duu ptlNttll ~Nv anu wv
teachers were refused admission. 1t
must be remembered that even in the
summer there are always several hun
dred regular students present at Hamp-
ton, and because OF this the accommc-
dations for summer school pupils are
limited. The addition OF dormitory and
dining room accommodations, which
may be expected within the next two
years, will make larger summer
school possible and thus extend one Of
the most important parts Of the school 3

Of the summer school enrolment, con-
cludes that the Hampton Summer
school has had "an attendance of 1HO,-
600 pupils" OF course there was only
a small fractional number In bodily at
tendance, but those who came to the
summer school represented large num-
bers OF teachers and armies of boys
and girls eager for an education. Or.
