Again has President Roosevelt offered insult to the South. Loss than ton days ago he entertained six negroes at tho Whito House; and this titrio ho gave thofti a personal introduction to his Wife, who gdvo them a cordial handshake, A howl has gone up from tho Southern press that this thing shotild be dono, and yot we think it was gentler thaa the first, when the pre- codent waB laid by him in entertain ing Booker Washington—to draw from this a painful losson—tho suc ceeding demagogues of tho Whito House oan repeat this coming In coil- fiiot with our deepest southern senti ment with grentor impunity, as tho path has been blazed by a pioneer. Tho racial issue, w th all its hideous aspects, is again wi;h us, but wo oling to the hope that there is yet enough rod blood in tbo South to orush this Hydra-headed monster— this time-serving polities, that would, subvert tho purity of our race and root out the Inst ideal of our higher civilization. Let us reason this thing together: Now may bo a time whon the South should deal in superlatives. Drastio measures, seem probable expedients —the exigencies of tho situation aro by no means trifling, involving, as they do, the issues of our oiviliza- tion, and those nobler traits that distinguished our people from tho crop-eared Puritan of Now England. Race degeneracy and a polluting amalgamation, even for tho distant future, is not compensated by an 7 temporising expedients, even should they bring in their accomplishment tho greatest commercial prosperity, or tho most absolute political raas- tory, for these goods arc evanescent, and go with tho season—a super structure whose foundation is built on a narrow margin. The elevation of tho negro moans tho degradation of the white South. Sooial equality means a mulatto race to the unborn generations. We must oithori. keop theno<>r.psdown, or go down.our selves; and the man who is not. true to these traditions of our people is unfit to represent an honorable con stituency. It is the dnty of a states man to know tho lasting good, and t:ie duty of a patriot to learn it.'
