VENOM AND FALSEHOOD.

The Brooklyn Standard Union in it's issue of
January 9th, devotes more than a column to
the denouncing of the south and the defense CD
Of the negro, and has much to say, in passing
anent the prohibition question. So much in fact
as to lead one to believe that the article is de-
signed not much in the defence of the negro
as an attack on prohibition.
The Standard Union, among other things. in
this wild diatribe against the South starts off
the argument CD with the assertion that gov
eminent by the people does not exist in the Solid
South, and winds up with the declaration that it
is time to cut out the southern cancer Not con-
tent with discussing the negro question and set
thing this and the prohibition question, the south
is attacked for projecting the Federal Prohibi-
ton amendment. A crack is also taken at Pres
ident Wilson
The Solid South which projected the Federal
amendment, known as the Eighteenth
Amendment, on Congress, has never made any
pretense of observing the Fifteenth Amendment
In the South it is contemptuously ignored and
will continue to be ignored until appropriate leg
lslatlon to enforce it is passed through Congress-
The new Republican Congress should act
promptly
Appropriate legislation" to enforce the fiji
teenth amendment should naturally take prece-
dence of legislation necessary to the enforcement
of the eighteenth amendment
Indeed, such legislation might be passed hv
the present Congress, for good many of the
Northern Democrats have walked up to the fact
that they, too, have been budozed by the South
both IN the matter of legislation inimical to their
commercial constituents and in other matters
OF equal Importance
The negro question in the south is one that
must be left to the south for adjustment The
colored man OF the south is quite fortunate as
