MISTAKEN KINDNE88.
The nurses who have gone out from
America to attend the wounded and
rick of the Japanese army have failed
In their mission. The Japanese people
nre the most oourteoua In the world
nn<l when they aee that one la en
deavoring to help them they accept the
tender because of the spirit that goes
with It, though they may not need the
service at all. The Japanese authorities
complain that the American nursea are
a burden to them and they have, there
fore, placed them In remote hospitals,
In which there la nothing to be done
except the rarlng-for of convalescents
nnd prisoner*. Tho trouble Is of a
double * htirnetor. In the first place
they do not undorMnnd clttvT tin
Japan#
the set
the R1
ago. In
ad place they are unable to live
nner the manner of the country or to
eat the native food. Hence the nuthor-
Itles must provide them, after the Am
erican fashion, with beds, pillows,
steak, potato***, canned goods, wheat
bread and other things which cannot
be obtained In Japan or Manchuria,
c\' ept at very high prices. Even when
the American edibles nre supplied the
oriental cook does not know how to
prepare them sod that brings on mors
trouble.
Another factor In the matter Is that
the Japanese women wish to serve
their country and there ere enough of
them to supply the hoapltal needs of
the army. While they express no
complaint of the coming of the Amer
ican natives. It Is understood they re
gard It as an invasion of their patri
otic prerogative. The Japanese woman
la ns courageous and as loyal and as
relf-sacrificing aa the Japanese man.

AS TO THE SUFFRAGE.
Tho Duluth Herald has this to say:
s- ith'-ru newspapers frequently miko
the MMrtlni.. ■ ■ <!• r. r.-ilnv »'.■»• H- •
In Its fll«fmnch|wm^nt of the near--. thrit
certain New England states requlr* both
Mutational sad prop* rty qualification* for
waters. The IjoutevUte. Courier-Journal.
In a recent article dealing with immlgra.
tlon to the Southern state* made this
statement:
"The Bouth wants no such proletariat
as,Is being built up Into a distinctly In
ferior class such as crowd the tenement
houses of the Hast Bide of New York and
the factories of New England. It Is ?hl*
class chiefly, comprising nearly a flftn
part of the population In Msssachuseitw,
who art disfranchised under the proper
ty or educational qualification, though
counted In the congressional apportion
ment.*’
The Boston Herald makes sn effective
reply to this and shows that It Is an un
just accusation. There Is no property
qualification for a voter In Massachusetts.
Even tha payment of a poll tax,Is not
necessary for voting In that common
wealth • The state ha» extremely simple
educational qualifications, and It Is main-
tallied that their adoption was wise und
that their retention ha* been fully Jus-
11 fled by the results gained. Rut Massa
chusetts took the suffrage from no man
who had previously enjoyed It. When the
state adopted the eductions! qualifica
tion It was specially provided that those
who had been voters prior to the passage
of that law should retain their right of
suffrage without lielng called on to pass
any educational teat whatever. The
change of the law In Massachusetts was
to Improve, not to restrict, voting.
If the South would deal as fairly by Its
Itlsens as Massachusetts nnd other
. ’orthem state* have done, there -.would
be no Just ground for complaint. It la
because the South neither desires the
negro to vote nor to fit him for rltlsen-
shlp that the people of the North are
filled with apprehension as to the final
outcome of the race question. Certainly
It will In time become a serious menace
to national peace if the South does not
change Its methods In this respect.
The Herald la published In a country
where there are comparatively few cit
izens of voting age who are American-
born. Tho Courier-Journal la right,
while tho Boston Herald begs the ques
tion. The truth of the matter Is this:
Komethlng leas than twenty years ago
Henry Oeorgo delivered his lectures on
Progreso and Poverty" In Australia.
Ie was a man of keen observation.
While there he learned of the Austra
lian ballot law. He studied It csrefully
nnd brought copies of it to tho United
Slate*. It was In Boston that he first
expounded If, and Massachusetts wan
the first state to make sn election law,
restricting the suffrage, upon the Aus
tralian theory. The next state, if our
memory serves us correctly, was Ken
tucky which adopted the Campbell
law. Then in the belt of Southern
states there followed Tennessee, Mis
sissippi, South Carolina, North Caro
lina, Louisiana and so on. Once the
right of a state to restrict the suffrage
Is conceded, it Is for the state to deter
mine the degree of restriction under
the constitution of tjye United Btnte*.
The right of each of the states In the
premises has never been denied. The
new constitutions of the Southern
states do not trench upon the consti
tution of the general government, for
the new laws apply to all cltlxens nlik*
That Is the absolute truth. If Massn
chusotts is satisfied with her law
which reduces th\ vote because of an
educational qualification there 1* no
reason that Mississippi should not cur
tail her vote by the poll tax and rest
dentlal clauses of her suffrage law.
The non-vota? Iium ns much right to be
counted In llie population of & stat
a voter. !!<■ In a part of tho body po
litic. To bate the rapiesontatli
Mate upon the number of voters or
qualified vote 1 a would bo not only tho
gr«»Hi»at Injustice, but a glaring viola
tlon of tho federal constitution Itself.
In the Hatith 11 voting standard h*s
b*-en s»*t Juat ns in Massachusetts,
can be reached by any one who will
m an effort to do to. If disquali
fied. ho alone Is responsible.
AS TO THE RACE ISSUE.
Referring to the raca iasue the
Washington Post deprecates the ten
dency of Southern Democratic speak
ers and newspapers to give It para-
mountcy in the pending canvass. The
Savannah News agrees with the Post
that nothing Is to.be gained by so doing
and rather fears that hurt rather than
help will be given to Judge Parker by
such Insistence.
The fact exists and must be re
cognized by us of the South that there
are thousands of democratic and in
dependent voters In the states not of
the S9UU1 that do not bold the same
Intense feeling on the race question
that we do. They do not understand
the Immense significance of It, as we
apprehend it, and they still adhere to
their views, based on abstract theo
ries, that the civil and political rights
of the negroes are not ns fully protect
ed among us as they should be.
Southern men who have much asso
ciation with Northern Democrats know
that these views do obtain among
them. Thousands of them may be
alienated from supporting the Demo
cratic party and Its candidates by a
too urgent forcing of the race Issue, In
Southern terms, to the forefront of the
campaign. It may seem strange to
that they could be so affected, but
It would be folly to shut our eyes to
the undebatable truth of the situation.
The Roosevelt party would be pleased
to have Southern Democrats atresa the
roce question Their tnmpalgn man
agers are keeping It quiet from their
aide of tho fence, nnd for a very aub-
tlle purpose. , Knowing that many of
their own party are not In accord with
the president's Social equality break*
and Ntunta, they do not wish to be ac
cused of exciting the Issue In his be
half; but they, will welcome It If it Is
forced Into the discussion by the Dem
ocrats, and they slyly Invited H by
their own plAtform declarations.
Hlnce the Issue, in Its vital relations
to white supremacy In the South, la
settled beyond the power of Roosevelt,
or his party, to unsettle it, we do not
need to agitate It ln-the national arena.
Roosevelt and his party may appoint
negroes In the South, as other Repub<
Ilcan presidents have done, or other
wise cater to the negro feeling against
the Southern whites, and so annoy us
and aggravate the prejudice between
the races. Ilut time, an.'l patience, and
the Inevitable workings of the white
racial instincts will come slowly to our
relief. The course of events la making
certainly for the non-interference
plan, under which the Southern
people will be left free und responsible
authority to deni with tneir negro pro
blem In the spirit of Justice and safety
to all concerned.

The Plantation System.
Editor Telegraph: I hasten to cor
rect a typographical error which oc
curred in my mention, In this morn
ing’s Telegraph, of Prof. Phillips* "The
Plantation As a Clytt\»er." The para
graph tho error appears in Is as fol
lows:
A plantation system, with negro la
bor, would he Impossible-—would It
not? Would not the absence of dis
cipline—I mean whipping—together
with the absence of white people, make
Impossible a plantation system?”
“I mean whlpptag" should read "I
don't mean whipping.*'
By the by, corporal punishment was
not a feature In the'eystem of discip
line which ruled up to 1*65. nor was
corporal punishment the general rule.
Th* servants of that period freer in
essential particulars than they are to
day, were taught from early childhood
to obey orders—"to go” or "to come,"
ns directed, and they learned cheerfully
to respond.
The lack of discipline among negroes
Is everywhere observable. The first
manifestation of this leads preferably
to Idleness and to*crtme.
I wished to correct the error, for
none of us would see that mode of pun
ishment established. Just as none of us
desire to see restored the ante-bellum
status, even if that were possible.
