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.

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.

D. Greene l John F. Gaynor. 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.

If It will not worry r politics a^y more than The Her- es, however, we will guarantee will at least escape nervous during the approaching 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- tqgless alliteration, If, Indeed, it has 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 ary, and March,’and intimates that 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. ‘ “Shot Him A-8ettln’.” From tho Nashville Herald.
