FOR RESERVATIONS.

Senator Kenyon is strongly opposed
TO ratification of the treaty and league
without reservations and has made a
statement setting forth his views and
criticising some of the presidents ut
teranceS. AS might be expected the
senator's attitude has called down upon
his head the maledictiOns and denm-
cations of partisan treaty and league
supporters and he is being rOrndly
assailed for daring to have opinions OF
his own. The public is prone to con-
denim men in official position for not
having the courage of their cOnvic-
tons. and then when public men eX-
press opinions contrary to public judg-
ment or what appears to be public
judgment. they are numerically assail-
cd. Senator Kenyon is entitled to his
opinions and the Freeman-JOurnal is
glad he has made his position SO clear.
The senator is always sincere and no
matter whether he is with us or

TO CLOSE HOSPITAL.

According to statements of members
of the state board OF control the state
hospital for inebriates at Knoxville
will probably be closed in about six
weeks, because of lack of patronage
There are not enough soaks being sent
to the institution now days to warrant
the trouble and expense Of maintain
ing it. This is a fact that the people
of the state are glad to know There
have been many claims put forward
by whiskey men and their sympathiz-
ers. that more liquor is used under pro
hibition than under license. but just
the same prohibition is striking death
blows to this institution which was
established and maintained, with many
inmates, under license. The proof of
the pudding is in the eating.
The building will probably he utiliz-
ed for a school for the feeble minded.
to relieve the congestion at Glenwood
it is reported that the Glenwood in
stitutiOn is full and that 400 appli-
cants are on the waiting list.

TEs!G RAGE QUESTION.

f. L. Miller. a southcrncr, born and
reared in the. southland. now Il resident
of Nashville, Tenn. contributes a well
written and thoughtful article to the
current number of The Outlook on
The War and Race Feeling" Mr..
Miller points to the fact that the negro
was Il good soldier and that he fought
nobly for the cause of freedom. He
received considerable praise and atten-
ton and it is not strange that the con-
siderations shown him should have
gone to his head. He is only human.
The recent riots in Washington and
Chicago show that white men and
black men have not yet learned to live
pcaceably together in the. United
States. and Mr.. Miller says they must
learn if chaos is not to come The
writer deprecatcs the frequent lynch
ings of negroes and declares that the
negro resents them. believing that the
negro is lynched because he is negro
and not because he is criminal. He
has reason for this belief too because
negroes are lynclcd for alleged crimes
while white ucn are not mOleSted in
many instances for similar offenses.
Writing upon this point Mr.. Miller
says:
Negroes do feel strongly the injus-
tice of mob law, and they feel it as
an injustice to their race rather than
to the individuals lynched. They know
that, While white men are occasionally
lynched. most mob victims are negroes.
They cannot but feel that they are
lNnched as much because they are
negroes as because they are criminals,
and they are coming to resent it all

zen entitled to the protection OF the
laws, to justice in the courts ana III
business dealings, to the exercise OF Il
citizens privileges Oh the same terms
as other citizens, to fair chance and
to a fair start in life for his children.
Justice demands these things for him,
but justice does not demand for either
race the privilege of crOwding itself
upon the ether race. Recent events
have shown in the north as well as III
the south it is for the real welfare OF
both races that the line of social
cleavage be drawn and that each race
keep to it's own size of the line. The
Jim Grow laws, for all the unwisd0m
with which they are occasionally adj
ministcred, are, on the whole, wise
social regulations. The distinction be-
tween them and the denial to the negro
Of any real right is plain to anyone
who will consider but for moment
TO say that an illiterate white man
may vote while an illiterate negro may
not is plainly to put the negro at dis
advantage. To say that each race
shall have its place in a street car and
keep in that place deprives neither OF
any natural or legal right.
"Once the negro is made to feel that
the white man means to deal justly
with him. he, too, can be made to see
that there is in the social separation OF
the races only good for both. He will
not be likely to see it, however, as
long as he thinks of this enforced
separation along with his chldrens
lack of school opportunity, his own
enforced absence from the voting place
and his races insecure hold upon legal
projections which every American is
Supposed to possess

with more and more bitterness IT
lynchings are allowed to continue in
the south and lynchers to 90 unpnn-
iShed, there will be racial clashes here
worse than anything the south has ever
known" :
Mr.. Miller thinks the enfranchise-
ment OF the negro was Il mistake and
his welfare was not served Gy turning
him loose with a ballot he could not
intelligently use. "The south was
justified he says, sin taking it away
from him, unjust and objectional as
were some of the means used to do it.
But there is another side to this Ques-
ton. There cannot be subject caste
in democracy. Either the subject
must become free or the democracy
must cease. Because most negroes
cannot now vote intelligently it does
not follow that all negroes should be
kept from voting. If it is desirable
that the voter have understanding, it
is also desirable. if the principles of
democracy be true, that understand
ing have vote"
Mr. Miller says the negro didn't
strongly resent it when the ballot was
taken from him in the south i'll one
state after another. '"The less intelli-
gent" he declares, didn't know what
the ballot meant; the more intelligent
must have known that the race had
really misusea the ballot to its hurt"
But things have undergone a charge
in the south and many negroes now be-
iieve they have earned the ballot and
can use it intelligently. The war has
added to their impotence. They real

the negro as a voter not because he
is not qualified, but because he is a

against us, we know lie is expressing
his honest conviction. We need such men
in congress and in all positions of pub
lie trust and the public ought to be
tolerant enough to grant them liberty
of expression and views without Qucs-
tiOning their motives and threatening
revenge. 1t is the general attitude and
course of public men upon public
questions that establish their value
as representatives of the people. They
may be wrong at times. as all men
are, but if they are usually right and
give the country the best that is in
them more cannot be asked or expected.

negro. Mr.. Miller says the white
south is clearly and dangerously wrong
here. Hordes of illiterate negroes will
not be turned into the voting places,
but the negro who has acquired the
knowledge that will enable him to vote
intelligently must be- allowed to vote.
More-he should be welcomed as a
voter. The people of the south owe
it to themselves and to the democratic
faith they profess. to make the negro
who has acquired an education feel
that they are glad to have him speak
through the ballot for himself and his
race. More than this, they owe it to
themselves and to their country to
give the negro every reasonable Oppor-
tunity to prepare himself to vote. Any
thing less OH their part is qualification
of our whole theory Of government
Mr.. Miller says the negroes are very
anxious to learn, but the south has not
treated them fairly in this respect and
the negroes know it. where we have
spent $1O.32 for the education of each
white child, we have spent only $3.50
for the education of each colored child.
In counties with many negroes the
appropriations for the black children
are often less. Provision for
the training Of negro teachers are
lamentably Inadequate in every south
en state. knowledge of all these
things cannot make the negro feel more
friendly toward the white race which
so largely controls his future.
Mr.. Miller insists, however, that the
negro has no right to complain at the
laws that require him to occupy sepa-
rate compartments in cars and sepa-
rate places in eating houses. THE
negro" he says, lis an American citi-
