"THE 80RR0W OF THE 80UTH.”
Such la the title of an editorial in
••The World'* Work" for December,
whose editor is Mr. Walter H. Page,
himself a Southern man, aelf-sxpatrt*
ated and politically naturalised In the
North. The article Is booed on a quo
tation from Senator Bacon, as follows:
“Very well, let the North run the gov
ernment. we Shell continue to be aa
good cltlsene an vtr> can. But our hearts
are broken because the people of the
North are at!U unwilling to receive ua

THE B08T0N HERALD 8PEAK8.
The Boston Herald has appeared to
ocotpt Its punishment with great meek-
noM. lying low and saying little.
Whether this was because It quaked
in Its boots for fear of worse to come,
or because It wlehed to sleep over It
{n order to exercise a desirable res
traint upon the words that thronged
for utterance, we can not say. What
wo do know, however, 1* that when It
finally came out with a column and
three-quarter editorial on December 15,
on "The Freedom of the Press,” It ex
pressed Itself with remarkable caution
and good temper.
Its only remark that could reason
ably give the least offense Is that “on
(the 2tth of November the Washing
ton sky was black with clouds chsrged
with presidential wrath." hut this may
please more thsn offend because It rails
up visions of Imperial Jove and hi*
thunderbolts. It may be that the Her
sld take* greater risks when It ven
* tures to quote from the constitution a
follows:
Congress shall make no taw respecting
an establishment »»t rHiglon, sr prohibit-
l Ing th* free exercise thereof; or aorldflnf
, the freedom of speech, or of the press, or
the right of the people pescesbly to as
semble and to petition the government for
a redress of grievences.
As If dreading to he too assertive
In the presence of so mighty sn sdver
•ary. the Herald puts Its main plea
In the form of questions. Yet It exhibits
courage when Its says: "If a president
can, for personal or political reasons,
close the great departmenta of state
to on* newspaper, ho can close them to
> all, and for the aame reasons governors
can do likewise, and likewise mayors
of tit lea. What. then, becomes of the
freedom of the press? If one clause
of the article of the constitution guar
antootng tho liberty of the press can
he directly or Indirectly annulled, then
th* companion clauses which deny to
congress, the Immediate representa
tive of the people, the right to abridge
the freedom of speech, or to prohibit
the free exercise of religion or the
right of the people peaceably to as
eemhle, and to petition the govern
ment for a redreea of grievances, can
be similarly treated. All Iheoe clauses
In tho Drat amendment stand or fall
logotbsr. Is it any wonder, thsn. that
an arbitrary act, doatgned to cripple a
single newspaper, powerful or weak,
should have met with almost universal
ro probation?"
Wo Imagine that tho "universal re
probation" surprised no one exoept Mr.
llooaovelt himself and a few of tots
inoet adoring parasites.
NO MYSTERY TO THE MAN OF
FAITH.

a richly-endowed Taskegee are Imper
atively needed on every Georgia plan
tation!
With all due respect, to Booker
Washington, and to the negro Idlers
In Atlanta, we most submit that In our
humble opinion they have overlooked
the Chief and most important reason.
The Washington Post points a very
accurate Anger toward this roost im
portant reason, when. In discussing,
with many misgivings, tho growing
demand in the South for Immigration
from Europe, It recently expressed It
self as follows:

to conform to the requirements of so
ciety to a remarkable degree. Be
cause war was a natural condition of
mankind, and because the dangerous
vocations naturally fell to the males. It
woo considered that the matter was in
telligently managed when males were
everywhere in a large majority. Wars,
however, have almost reared, labor’
saving Inventions have permitted men
to evade many dangerous employments
and women have entered Into Industrial
pursuits In vast numbers. The males
no longer run more risks than do the
females. In the matter of fortory
fires and explosions women Incur more
dangers. There being no special de
mand for an excess of melee, we ese
a steady decline In their relative num
bers.**
The centetnperery we have quoted
thin varying
enough to understand that Senator
Bacon could not actually mean that
anybody In the South is broken-heart
ed because the North Is solidly Repub
lican and anti-Southern. No such pu
erile and "pathetic" condition afflict*
any sensible Southerner. We all know
perfectly why the Routh Is solid and
why the North Is solidly opposed to
our position. W* also understand that
our solidity will continue because St Is
indispensable to our domestic civiliza
tion and peace. Therefore we are not
broken-hearted that the people of tbs
North do not fall on our necks and
weep over us as erring brothers.
As for "full national fellowship" ws
have It already, for our full quota of
senators and representatives have
their seats In the congress, and that Is
as full a recognition and fellowship
our legal rights demand. All elso
would be mere gift nnd grace from a
majority party to a minority opposl
lion. Ho, on that score, we have *no
call to be "heart-broken."
It would be well for Mr. Page. Mr.
Roosevelt, and Mr. Anybody-KIse to
understand that In the Houth our
hearts are not rended because ws do
not hold the administration, occupy
the office* and fatten on the privileges
nnd provender of the government. All
we expect, nnd do not get, Is American
Justice nnd a sqdnre deal as good cit
izens.
Mr. Page complains that th# South
doss not lay hold upon the vital, living
probisms of the national Ilfs and give
up "this unnecessary * concentration of
public thought upon one question"—
the negro problem! Which shows that
Mr. Page, ns a Southern man. has for
gotten, or wilfully Ignores, ninny
IhlngM that he should remember.
Who made this negro problem, any
how? Who In It that la everlnsttngly
thrusting It o n the Houth In hateful
ways? Who put forward Rooaevelt,
Crumpacksr, Platt and other marplots
to bait and bulldoze ths Mouth for re
fusing to put tho negro In charge of
Southern governments and social In
terests?
There would he no considerable ne
gro problem In ths Houth If there were
no North. There would bo no slav
ery, no peonage, no Injustice, no de
nial of natural nnd tnnttennble rights
for any negro In the Houth to lament,
If the two races could bs freed from
Northern agitation long enough to
mutually adjust their civic and Indus
trial relations. A modus vlvendl
largely satisfactory to both would be
found. The Houthern white men do not
hate or desire to harm the negro—
quite tho reverse; and tho Southern
negro knows that his survival as a ett-
laen of the Routh Is dependent upon
the sympathy and generosity of hts
Houthern white fellow-dtlson.
Hut If the North will Insist that tho
Houth must remain solid politically In
order to safeguard Ita social, civic and
political Institutions, In other words.
Its Anglo-Raxon civilisation. It may bs
sure thut we will accept the situation
with a welcome rather thsn with bro
ken hearts.
Mr. Page, Indeed. Is welcome to
write some more and In doing so to
■ay to the North that the Houth meang
stay solid against negro equality,
negro suffrage and negro government
forever end a day!" The only way
this solidity can be broken and the ne
gro put on top Is to do It once more as
It was done before—by reducing the
Houthern states to territorial satrapies
and hols taring negro supremacy with
a wilderness of federal bayonets! And
even then we will not be heart
broken!
THAT~AUTHORITATIVE EXPLA
NATION.
The New York Tribune has learned
from Booker Wasting ton why negro
labor Is becoming so unreliable and
•cares In the rural districts of the
Houth. Ths Tuakegee educator went
to Atlanta and Interviewed the negro
Idlers there In order that ho might far

mentioned. The explanation la Inter

at Oberlin, OpKorfolk WEEKLY LETTER OF
HENRY CLEWS & CO.
NEW YORK, Dec. II.—In spite of re
actions the stock market shows an Im
proved undertone. Liquidation during the
post two week* has thoroughly tested
weak spots, and the position of the mar
ket has been materially strengthened In
consequence. Sensational attacks recent
ly made upon the market appear to be
losing thslr force, having served the use
ful purpose of checking reckless specula
tion and creating a more healthy division
of opinion. After a break of I to M
points In the active stocks there Is natur
ally more or less hesitation, but securi
ties have been going buck into stronger
hands again, and confidence In high quar
ters has not been disturbed in any degree
by market gyrations or the tactics of sen
sational speculators.
Ths strongest factors In the situation
are the abundance of money, an excellent
Investment demand for securities and the
promising business outlook. Funds are
in ample supply, and there la no fear of
monetary disturbance, such as frequently
occurs at the close of the year. Both call
and time rates are so low that securities
bring much more satisfactory returns
than money at Interest, Ibis being a pow
erful factor In the Investment market.
We are Just approaching the January In
vestment demand, which always absorbs
many millions of securities; but aside
from this there 1* a surprisingly good de
mand for desirable Investments, especial
ly bonds, which haa not been satisfied
by recent heavy offerings. Within a few
weeks these have Included about $10,000,-
000 Japanese, $25,000,000 New York, $26,-
