VICTIM OF JIM cRoWlsM.

Sergeant Caldwell has died, a vic
tim of the Jim Grow car laws of the
South. He was a soldier of good rep
utation, who had served his country
overseas. Upon his return to his home
in Admission, Ala, an alteration arose
between him and street car conduc-
tor over seat. The conductor sought
to evict him. A fight ensued in which
Caldwell killed Linton. That there
was eXtenuating circumstances in
Caldwell's case is clear from the fact
that influential persons pleaded for
clemency, and please remember, that
this was in the very heart of the South,
where it is not the custom to either
show or plead for mercy for black
man who kills white man under any
circumstances. Caldwell's case was
even brought to the attention of Pres
ident Wilson. All efforts to save
Caldwell's life proved unayailing. He
went to the scaffold and paid the pen
atty of his crime. He met his doom
like Il man. He died, we repeat, We
tim of the Jim Grow car laws of the
South Some will call Edgar Caldwell
foolish because he did not quietly subj
nit to the customs of the section in
which he was. Those who so reason,
overlook the fact that man who has
risked his life on the battlefield for
his country cannot tamely submit to
conditions which rob him of his rights
of manhood This is n fact which
America must squarely face in the
case of the returned overseas soldier
who has come back with a new sense
of manhood and personal rights. Lin
ton died because he was trying to en-
force discriminatory practices of his
section. and Caldwell died because he
rebelled against them.-The Monitor

w liam Jennings Bryan, with
halo of puIitanical righteous
ness encircling his classic brow, in
troduced the Democratic policy of
dealing with struggling Negro repub-
lies, when he sent to his appointee
"As soon as you are settled 1 hope
that you will find some places for de
serving Democrats"
Colonel Bryan was then secretary
of state, and has since received his
walking papers after differences
with the President upon other mat
ters, but the policy he inaugurated in
the treatment of darker races was so
fully in accord with Democratic
ideals, that none of his successors has
seen fit to change it in the slightest
degree. Poor, struggling. debt-rid-
den Haiti would afford few skinny
loaves and emaciated fishes for the
Democratic office-holding class to
fatten on, so the great Democratic
party pounced on her like a buzZard
on a sick chicken, to satisfy its
greed.
The Democratic party disagreed
with Colonel Bryan on some matters,
but the administration was one with
him when he suggested that the slen-
der income of the custom house at

the crumbs from Lazarus.
The story of Democratic admins
tration of the affairs in Haiti is one
of greed and intolerance. Native
clerks were displaced by deserving
Democrats, and all deserving Dem
