There Is a lot of truth In .this. There
1b also a reason for it, or an explana-

contracts for adver- .
merits to be Inserted In this paper, tag-himself to vote, on the part of the
Southern negro, which the Age has
perhaps overlooked.
As a rule, the Southern' negro is! not
patriotic enough to pay for the privi
lege of voting for patriotic reasons,
and pfter the white primary'system
was adopted by the Southern states
the negro’s vote tgas no longer'in de-
mand and he could not set a prlcp on
It. There are, of course, exceptions,
but it is a Well-known fact that {he
hard on the early primary and directed
that the next one be not called before
August. The State Executive Com
mittee dare not disregard this declar
ation on the part of the state conven
tion, and Chairman Yeomans and the
committee are doubtless taking it for
granted that they have plenty of time
yet for calling the primary.

eliminated from politics by the white
Democratic primary system.
It has not been so many years since
it was a common thing on election
days here in Albany for negroes to
form themselves. Into squads of ten,
twenty or fifty, and hold themselves
in reserve when a close contest was
on, to sell their votes In a lump at so
- , s
much per vote to the party or candi
date that would pay the highest price.
But all this Is now a thing of the
past In Georgia. The white people
got tired of It and disgusted with it
and adopted the white Democratic sys
tem. which 1ms practically disfran
chised the negro in this state.

The Philadelphia Record suggests
that as the Panama Railroad Is the
only line of transportation under the
ownership of the United States, |t has
afforded President Roosevelt a bril
liant opportunity to put lii. practice his
views as to reasonable freight and pas-,
Benger rates. But not only are tlie
rates on the Panama Railroad so ex
cessive as to cause loud complnlnts of
their enhancement of the cost of liv
ing on the Isthmus, but they are so
discriminative as to check fair compe
tition. In fact, the management of
this government railroad exhibits near
ly all the abuses and iniquities of
which complaint Is made concerning
the corporation methods of transpor
tation In this country. In all its his
tory the Interstate Commerce Commis
sion has not had to deal with such
flagrant acts of discrimination as are,
now practiced on the Panama Railroad
under Its government ownership.

Cornelius N. Bliss doesn’t relish the
publicity which Andrew Hamilton’s
references to him have been given.
He asserts with great heat that Ham
ilton did not pay him $76,000 of the
New York Life money for the McKin
ley campaign fund. “Nothing further
should be necessary," Mr. Bliss added.
“The fact that I say the charge Is false
ought to settle it.” Mr. Bliss ought to
wake up. There was a time When men
of his prominence In public life were
like Caesar’s wife, but in the light of
recent revelations almost the reverse
Is true. “The bigger the bug the
greater the graft’’ may yet become
something more than a mere mean-

not already become so.
The Atlanta Journal Inserts a con
spicuous “lost" advertisement for the
State Democratic Executive Commit
tee, and wants to know why the com
mittee has not met and called the next
state primary ere this. The Journal
refers to the fact that the committee
has heretofore’ been meeting in Febru

The Albany Herald wants to have a
mosquitoless summer. Does^he Her
ald want to exterminate the stegomla
fasclata, the culex, or the anopholes?
Let The Herald be explicit.-—Savannah
Press.
According to the legend that we have
of good St. Patrick’s war of extermin
ation of snakes in Ireland, no discrim
ination was made between the ser
pents, but all were exterminated. A
snake was a snake in the eyes of the
blessed Saint, and none was spared.
And, so say we as , to mosquitoes—a
mosquito is a mosquito. He is a nui
sance and should be killed on general
principles, whether he be stegomyia
fasclata, the culex or the anopholes.
The mosquitoless summer that The
Herald is pining for would mean no
mosquitoes. We woiild let no guilty
mosquito escape—and all mosquitoes
that> we have ever seen by day or
heard—or felt—by night, are guilty.
The season has arrived .when We are
again reminded that the boneless shad
Is still, undeveloped.
