THE COURSE FOR SOUTHERNERS.
Tue Richmond (Va ) News ex
presses some very decided views
upon Pi evident R use veil’s attitude
toward the negro, and these view*
are at. the same time very sound
and conservative. The News says
there is but or o ttfff% for Southern
people to do, and that is to act sens
ibly and conservatively in the mat
ter. There is no cause, it says, tor
indulging in idle abuse. The News
does not think that the South can
defeat Mr Roosevelt for
but it does bt liuve that the Sowwfi
urn people cau show in a manner
entirely decorous and lawful their
disapproval of and disgust for the
new Roosevelt idea of social equal
ity.
Along this line the News says:
• Kiuthern people can and should
hold themselves absolutely aloof
from any social recognition of Mr,
Roosevelt. Socially, he has put
himself on equality with the colored
people, and he should be treated by
Southern people precisely as if he
were a negro official. This feeling
should be illustrated by our repre
sentatives at Washington, both in
the senate and house. Their rela
tion with the president should be
absolutely formal from this time
oi, and should be confined to such
business as it is necessary to trans
act with him. If he should come
8 >uth he should be left to associate
with the negroes, whom he has
chosen to regard as equals and fit
oompinions for himself and his
family. In other words, as Mr
Rxisevel' has chosen to put himself
on rqnabty with the negro, he
should be treated in all respects by
Southern people precisely as if he
were a negro of good character, ana
lepnsentitig the government—that
is, politely and kindly when kind
ness is necessary and'with absolute
indication that he is not of our race
or in any resp-ot socially an equal
with us or a tit.associate f»r-cs or
any of ours."
The Richmond paper edds that it
cannot see any other position ror
the Southern people or their repre
resentatives to take unless they
want to r>cognize the Roosevelt
program of associating with the ne
gro on t< rms of social and personal
equality. “It is,” says the News,
“a matter of vital necessity as well
as of race pride and instinct, that
we keep the Imo drawn between the
races and thereby assure the contin
ued purity of the Anglo-Saxon
stock. Mr. R losevelt has chosen
to depart from this idea and to asso
ciate himself with the colored peo
ple. It is for us to let him go his
way while we hold to ours."
There is really no other course
for self-respecting Southern white
people to pursue than that suggest
ed by the Richmond paper. Al
ready they are following it closely
and the probability is that they will
continue to do so.
WHY WE D 3 NOT CHRISTIANIZE
THE WORLD-
In a recently published report of
the Church Missionary Society is
the following paragraph:
“The Christiana community has
already given to Japan one cabinet
minister, two judges of the court of
cassation, two speakers of the house
of commons (one elected twice),
two or th r ee assistant cabinet min
isters, besides a number of chair
men of legislative committees,
judges of tbe appellate courts, &o.
In tbe present parliament the speak
er and thirteen members are Chris
tians ; one of them was elected by a
majority of five to one to represent
a strongly Buddhist district. In
the navy the captains ot the two
largest men-of-war are Christians.
Three of the great daily papars of
Tokio are in the hands of Christiane,
and in several others Christians are
at the head of the various editorial
departments. The best charitable
institutions are under Christian di
rectors. ’’
In spite of this brave showing as
to the prominence of the Japanese
Christians, however, we are inform
ed on the best authority that- only
one-half of one per cent of tha pop
ulation has become converted, al
though great ifforts have been
made by Ameri can and English mis
sionaries in tbe field.
Os course, there is a reason for
this elow progress of Christianity,
and if we will look closely into the
j matter, we will find that the fault
| lies not so much with the Japanese
as with the Christians, says the
Augusta Herald.
Iu the first place, we are inclined
to te too strenuous in our methods
of Teaching, or rather enforcing
Christianity in th* East; sonv what
after the fashion of those mission
aries to Britan iu her pagan days
who converted the king and the
king converted the pou'e, baptizing
them by the thousands in the sp ice
of a few hours. Unfortunately,
we have—perhaps unconsciously—
impressed these Easterners with the
idea thut all of us agree in the doc
trine proposed by Bishop Charles
H Fowler, of the M. E church,
New York, who says: “The Baxons
the centre of p/wer of m in
kind. The Saxon is the robber of
the races, but it is right that he
should be, for he has a God and a
given mission to perform by one
means or another. No m itter
what the price pdd, is is right that
he should go about that mission."
Again, the so called heathen ra
tions, who in reality possess a oiv.l
iz&tion much older and far in ad
vance of our own in many respects,
say that the Western world pro
fesses a religion that is exaoTy op
posite to their tone of mind and
method of life. We glor fy force,
whde we preach a religion of peace.
We preach the evil results of a love
oi money and tell how difficult it is
for a rich m »n to enter the kingdom
of heaven ; yet we regard the pur
suit of wealth as the one important
interest in life. So on, inaefioitely.
Thea the missionaries themselves
are largely to blame. Instead of
contenting themselves with preach
ing to the Chinese, for instance, the
gospel of “Peace on earth and good
will to men," and letting this gos
pel work out the sal va ion of those
who accept it, they must need to
impress those they teach with the
idea that a Chinaman cannot be a
Christian unless his Christianity
finds expression in exactly the same
forms and observances that are cus
tomary among the people from
whom the missionary comes. In
short, a Chinaman must—accord
ing to the missionaries—tecome
denationalized if he would become
a Christian ; and naturally this is
a creed hardly acceptable to men
and women who love their country
and its customs.
But it has remained for the Mar
quis Ito, the great Japanese states
man, to snm up the whole situa
tion in one brief sentence. He said
he admired the Christian religion
greatly, and the Japanese would
adopt it, “if the nations of Europe
and America would do the same.”
THE SOUTH'S 7)PPORTUNITY.
In the current issue of “The
World's Work," we find the fol
lowing :
“One day, late in the recent
autumn, a half dozin' farmers,
coming fifteen miles, drove into a
prairie village with heavy loads of
corn. They went to the principal
elevators and asked the price.
“ ‘Thirty cents a bushel today.’
“ ‘We will go to the buyer at the
other end of the town,* said the
spokesman.
“‘lt will do you no good,’ was
the reply, ‘as all the buyers pay the
same price here.*
“ ‘Very well, we will go home and
send our corn to market on foot?

The cattle barons who have been

nation of many people of the North
and West to visit this section with
a view to probable settlement.
A Maine party writes:
“If Southern railroads would
take the means in the East for in
ducing the people to go South that
the Western rai'roads used 20 or 25
years ago to induce the people to
gj West, a desirable class of peo
ple might be interested, and the
East and the South become as
closely allied through friends and
relatives as are the East and the
W< st. I’ll venture to say that every
town in Ma ne is represented some

of its 8..D8 or daughters ”
The Nows and Suu is glad to
knew that the railroads in the
South have taken up this very mat
ter. The Central of Georgia, through
its traffic department, has inaugu
rated a great work in the way of
advertising the State in order to at
tract homeseekvis. The example
is an inspiring one and much good
will be expected to result in this
State.
The Rev. Jenkins Lloyd Jones,
of Chicago, declares: “The girl
who reaches the age of twenty five
and can't cook a cake or pie, or can't
make a shirt waist or trim a hat, is
not a true woman. She is a sham
and her parents are responsible and
ought to be punished for misde
meanor. ” It strikes us that there
are other things just as essential.
A dinner of pie and cake, though
artistically made by a girl attired
in nothing but a neat fitting shirt
waist and a beautifully trimmed
hat, would hardly the daily
diet of even a preacher.
Sam Small has resigned as editor
of the Constitution and has gone

North Carolina tobacco king, and C.

They are promoting an enterprise to
build a railroad from Dallas through
tbe oil fields of Texas to the gulf,
which the backers of the enterprise
say will be of great commercial im
portance to the Northwest when the
new Isthmian canal is completed.
Mr Small has been made secretary

An Oklahoma editor, noting the

too particular what spot. There’s

Whether or not the city of Au

TRIAL OF DR. ALEXANDER.
Prosecution Gains Important Victory
In Grave Robbing Case.
In’diiauapolis, Feb. 7. —The defense
took a sudden turn today in the trial
of J. C. Alexander for grave robbing
when it asked that the state be re
quired to elect on which count of the
IncMctmemt it would go to the jury.
There was no motion to quash the in
dictment. The fourth count of the
indictment charged that Dr. Alexan
der was the ‘‘demonstrator of anato
my” of the college, and had possession
of the body of Rose Neldiinger and
Dr. Barnhill, secretary of the facul
ty was called to sustain that point.
The state asked if a catalogue had
not been issued by the faculty giving
that title to Dr. Alexander. The de
fense objected on the ground that Dr.
Alexander had nothing to do with tha
catalogue and further that the Central
college o( physicians and surgeons is
a corporation and the court must
bring the records of the faculty to
show Alexander’s position.
Judge Bailey held that tbe college
is a corporation and parole or verbal
testimony on the position held by Dr.
Alexander could only be given when
there was no record. The defense then
made a motion to compel the etxte to
elect which count of the indictment
should go to the jury, and also a mo
tion to withdraw from the jury the
fourth count in the indictment, bat
after a spirited argument the court
overruled the motions. This is an
important victory for the prosecution.
