The Survival of the Fittest.
WAYNESBORO. QA., MAY 11, 1907
MR. FRAZER’S TALK ON
CUBA.
When the reverened gentleman
c’osed his informal talk on Cuba at
Bt. Michael’s chapel a few nights
ago we have no doubt that each
one of the select and intelligent
audience present felt that she or
he knew more of Cuba than ever
before. And there were good rea
sons why they should have come to
this conclUHlon. They beard a plain
practical talk on that fair land
from one who had dwelt there,
preached to its priest ridden popu
lace and instructed its children
under many difficulties. He had
been a close observer of the man
ners, customs and morals of a peo
pie who evidently had more im
morals to observe. We rarely meet
with any one who knows the Inside
of Cuba well eno to talk intelligent
ly about it and who is able to in
struct one from personal observa
tion and knowledge gained from
experience thru close contact. It Is
not a great wonder after all ’hat
the * Pearl of the Antilles” remains
8 terra incognita to us on this side
of the strait that separates us, tho
only ninety miles wide. One Is
generally satisfied with a visit to
Havanna when she or he concludes
to visit the West Indies; and if
they venture further It is never be
yond a sea coast town and then
only for a day or two if not fully
satisfied with an hour or two. The
United States soldier stationed
there has very few better opportu
mties for observing the inward
ness of the Cuban inhabitant than
the one at Fort Barancas on this
side. From the American he shuts
himself, we learn, to an extent that
amounts to exclusiveness. To break
the shell and get into his confidence
r quires diplomacy of a rare char
Meter and much time and patience
Naturally suspicious, a born liar
and deceiver, laboring under the
weight of ignorance and the super,
frtition and tyranny of a thousand
years the Spaniard of Cuba is little
calculated to appreciate • the free
born American. The Cuban negro,
the larger part of the population, i
the conventional savage political
nonentity there as of all communi
ties on earth where he exists with
the whites. He is the willing tool
of the frmenter of revolution.
Revolution In Cuba means free
booting in which one finds the
Cuban negro in his glory, Lozy,
Improvident and cruel by nature he
is easily pursuaded by the Cuban
leader—more properly head free
b K)ter—to enter into any scheme to
loot a neighborhood that has had
the fortune—or misfortune—to
accumulate anything like
world's goods. He retires with his
booty after a raid, hoists some sort
of flag and calls himself a Cuban
patriot. For o')0 years this kind of
“patriotism” has fired the heart of
the so called Cuban patriot, Noth
ing but guerrilla fighting has pre
vailed in all the revolutions, and
plundering or destroying has con
stituted the ‘‘patriotic” conduct of
these vaunted liberty seekers,
Bsys Mr. Fr> z *r, “It is pitiable to
observe the utter want of love for
their laud that exists among the
inhabitants of Cuba” And why
ah >uld they love it, pray! No such
ttrng as law txists. There is no
protection for life, liberty or prop
erfy there unless It is bought. The
taking of evidence in any kind of a
suit is such an utter farce that the
suitor rarely ever goes into a court
for justice more than once. It Is
the costliest fun that one ever
uses with which to protect property
or even life. A robbery in broad
daylight on a street tiods witnesses
all blind. No one ever sees a crime
Cvimraitted and property stolen is
rarely ever restored by process of
law. Right combines with might
in such a general way that it is
about ail that cements society to
gether. The weak go to the strong
in a kind of Cnban serfdom and
“j istice” is dealt to applicants at so
much per—as the slang goes.
His talk on his efforts to teach
the Cuban chilli was amusing as
well as pathetic. Insubordination
was the rule and disorder encour
ag*d by the parent made the peda
g'g’s life one not to be desired
The little liars would not be pun
ished or thwarted. Any effort on
the part of the teacher to do either
to a Cuban pupil would get fcim
into trouble. The little villain
wnu'd bruise himself and exhibit
his wounds as the work of the pre
ceptor. Then what a mob would
collect to tongue lash the poor man,
if nothing worst ! That which
showed up worse agaiust the j n
wartiness of the Cuban inhabitant
whs the children of the celebate
p tests sent to the school a- shame
IH-sly as ’h>se from lawf il mar
riage. What can a people do with
jt, 4 foundation material so utterly
decayed ?
It seems, from the ta’k of this ex-
D orienced visitor who carefully

Cuban nsychology and morals, that

THE AMERICAN YELLOW ,
PRESS.
English writers of all classes,
editorial and otherwise, have never
been able to tolerate the dift’nctlve
"kind of j >urnalism of the United
8 ales known as ‘The American
Yellow Press.” What is left of con
servntive journalism here —it is not
much indeed —indulges in very
nearly the same opinions that the
English cousins across the waters
express. In the Bookman for May
appears a paper by Mr. Charles
Whibley on our “yellow press-”
which is published as ‘an English
view” and it bears all the earmarks
of real Anglican opinion decidedly
outspoken. Its first sentences will
show its temper.
“It all countries may boast
the press which they de
serve, America’s desert is
small indeed. No civilized
world has been content with
new-papers so grossly con
temptible as these, which
are read from New York to
the Pacific Coast. These
known as yellow would be
a disgrace to the Black Re
public and. it is difficult to
understand the state of
mind that can tolerate
them ” **
To people of good, sound intelli
gence it does present a rather
strange problem.TheEngllshman for
gets that a population of more than
80,00(1000 must necessarily contain a
very large per centsge of degener
ates, half witted sensationalists and
downright fools to which the yellow
press appeals. And outside of all
these there are wise ones who have
inordinate curiosity. To peep inside
for the tempting feast of scandal
and horrors is quite natural. Writers
are employed to make gnats appear
the size of Pterodactyls and one
small fact to cover “space” equal to
‘Gibbons’ Rise and Fall of the
Roman Empire.” To these feasts,
so invitingly presented, a large cli
entele may be depended upon to
support the quest of insatiable gree'*
and the debasing ambitions of th<
yellow J lurnalist. The enormou
contents of solid unadulterated fab
rications that every page—it might
be said every column —contain-
never seems to deter the habitua*
readers of the yellow j >urnal alth(
each repast is proven to be nothing
but Dead Sea fruit; or more prop
erly, a Barmecidal feast of tht
fancy.
To make the matter plainer the
writer, Mr Whibley adroitly draws
the contrast between legitimate
and the contrary of journalism
He remarks:
“The perfect newspaper
****** would present to
its readers a succinct histo
ry of each day as it passed.
It would weigh with a scru
pulous hand the relative im
portance of events. It
would reduce scandal with
in the narrow limits which
ought to contain it. Under
its wise auspices murder,
burglary and suicide would
he deposed from the heights
upon which idle curiosity
has placed them. Those
strange beings known as
public men would be famous,
not for what their wives
wear at somebody else’s
‘At Heme,’ but for their
own virtues and a’tain
ments. ** * ** * The
perfect newspaper, in brief,
would resemble a Palace
of Truth in which deceit was
impossible and vanity ridic
ulous. It would crush the
hankers after reputations,
It would hurl the imbecile
from the mighty seats they
try to fill and it would be
invaluable to future genera
tions.”
What a lordly contrast this is
for the imagination of the truthful
honest patriotic citizen ? What Is
it these yellow journals would do if
not curbed to a great extent by
public opinion? - It is true tha’
they are supported by many citi
izens. sometimes dangerously near
a majority in some communities,
but altho they would wreck the
government for ambition and greed
combined a sense of conservatism
in the people has so far averted the
troubles they have caused the
republic.
Somehow we do not think the
yellow journal now flourishes as it
once did ;e. g. when Puli'zer and
Hearst were struggling for the
championship place as the greatest
sensational newspaper liars that
ever were born. 80 the headline
may be considered no longer men
acing. In fact, it is so com i.on now
with the noisy imitators we have
learned to regard the whole as
s ; gnifyine nothing

it is more lasses.
Since it is reported that Jwpa

in sufficient strength to grab a;

THE TRUE CITIZEN, SATURDAY, M\Y 11, 1907
Lettei from Mr. Moody,
Wed. we do not see it, is necessary to elect
President, Roosevelt again for ibe presidency,
besides we do not tfcuk he wants the oftice
again We thin* he is s-tified for the pres
ent. In the commencement of ur govern
ment, we took spec alcaretopr vde against
long continuance in office, and the short
limit of time that an unsuitableor dangerous
official dc uld not do us much harm before
h s time expires.
We should be very cautious in trusting
those, especially those in louunand of our
armies and navies aud those controlling our
foreign relations. Our constitution does not
movide against re-election, however, and
Mr. Jefferson early saw and righted this error
and the amer datory poweis of the states
have been applied but without effect,
Noth ng is more corrupting —nothing is
more degrading than long continuance in
office Keelings, views aDd objec,s change
as we proceed , and what the heart first re
volts at. is afterwar Is embraced with pleas
ure. The love of power like the love os gold
when it takes hold of the human heart be
comes insatiable, It is the never dying worm
in his bosom that grows with his growth and
s rengthens in the declining years of its
victim.
l)pe source of misery in our midst is-the
direful appointment to office. Every politi
cal office ought to be filleu by general elec
tion even be it for a grave ditger. Indeed,
we never voted a populist ticket; but that
party urged some who esorne reforms when it
too* a determined stand against all appoint
ments to office a few creatures get tog til
er calling it a board and select their politics
of their own complex on and their doings
are all considered through pergonal favors
extending jn many directions in view of
their own good and but preoious little regard

and needs.
Much complaint is being expressed against
riv 1 parties But if one party o any set of
people know’ they have no opposition, where
in the name of God would the monopoly go.

In 1862 General'Bragg then an old man
and having graduated through the literary
and military colleges of America and Eu
rope, appointed W. C. Calhoun, Civil Gov
ernor or Atlanta. Mr. Calhoun afterexam
ining all of the codes, civil and military
could find no statute to direct him in his au
thority: he then wrote to Alexander Stephr
eps apo asked for information, Mr Stephens
in reply said he was not at ad surprised at
his finding no statut' of law to direct him,
The fact lie says “Your appointment is a
nullity General Br agg had no more right
to appoint you Civil Governor of Atlanta
thp,n 1 did and I have no more right than any
street walker of your Glty ’’
One of the main features of Bragg’s ordei
was uot to allow a citizen to sell whisky to
a soldier If such a law should be made,
which I do not doubt in the slightest particu
lar let a bill be pxesmted and a law be
passed of that kind, for then and only then
can iou a -t

This gilded revelation of Bragg’e how to

it found a resting place in the heart of Gen.
