BRIBING THE BRIBABLE CITIZEN.
In a little paaaaße-at-Mrtna In the
wangle recently Senator Horali of Ida
ho, came liack at Senator Vardamah
of Mississippi Mr. Vardainan had
declared that the negro liaa no con
ception of hi* duty aa n citizen and a*
an example of how he la purchased
Senator Vardanian pointed to the ne
gro delegHteg' well known fallings at'
the National conventions.
Senator Itorah quickly responded:
“Oh, Mr. President, the colored dele
gate doea not brilt himself. There are
usually fifty white men trying to bribe
one colored man."
This retort has been repeated with
great relish by the Northern press In
a spirit of defence of the negro Yet
Senator Vardanian was staling one
fact and Senator Horali another of
uulte a dlfltrent character.
There la no question of comparative
turpitude between the white and black
citizens A* a matter us cool fact we
deem the white citizen who purchases
the fieri o'a vote as far more lost In
sin.
The tragedy about the negro fran
chise la exactly what Senator Horali
touched tpon. It b those fifty white men
falling to lhe templatlon to htty otto
colored voter to streiiKthen their side.
The wrong which was done the
South in throating this itmaA of tire
sponsible voters upon tls Is shown In
the political degradation which the
negro vote unfailingly brings about.
There l* no occasion fur h quarrel on
thla point. No one claims that the
while men who degrade themselves
and drag their political ideula through
the mire In buying up the negro voters
are not far more guilty than the black
men who, as Senator Vardanian said,
have no conception of their duties as
clusens Hut when we finish thla In
teresting comparison we outne out be
fore the proopoeltlon of whether or not
the country ran stand the strain of tr
tetpohwlbb) citizenship.
In these United State* wo are work
ing out a great experiment, the ex
part men' of self-government. If w-e
are to make a aneceea of what we
have undertaken, we cannot struggle
aga! net the Irresponsible vote when It
comes in large numbers. Purchasable
vote* will find purchasers. The fight
for victor .' Is too Intense and human
nature la too human, to retrain from
taking advantage of the weak clttxen.
The average negro Is eager to soli
hie voti. because he taalUes the need
of money and he does not realise the
need of voting lit any particular wuy
Who can blame the negro" And,
who can blame the white men ,>f the
South for following the law of self
preservation In denying the negro this
marketable commodity 7
Some of out Northern contempora
ries appear to believe that race hatred
enters Into thla problem and they
adopt a childish attitude of champion
ship for the black cltisen
It la the degradation of our political
standards and the government* of our
communities and state* which are at
■take.
The cause* for a low tone in politic*
should be studied with dispassionate
care and a •crapulous avoidance of
narrowness and prejudice.
THE OLD COMBINATION.
The position of Mr. I’nderwood
and Speaker Clark In worklug against
the repeal of the canal toll* act looks
strangely like a reversion tj old po
litical jealousies and a return to al
legiance to the cause of special in
terests

strong fight against n provision which
would limit the number of saloons to

area of the city embraced in the busi

provision which will permit Omaha

A SUBSCRIBER’S TRUST
IN HIS PAPER
(J. B. Powell, Instructor in advertis

on "Uulldtng a Circulation.")
The feeling of Iruat that aiihscribers
have toward a newspaper they believe
to be honest cannot be over-estimated.
Many remarkable < *■ inples are on f'l

of Kansas City spending the summer
at eastern summer resorts do not read
the local newspapers, but wait to see
what their own Ntar Htiys, although it
eon:es to them several days late. A
whole volume could be written of ex
periences In the office of the Kan.-ns
City Star to this effect. Tho close
personal feeling of the subscribers for
the Star Is shown In the numerous
siuhll items that constantly appear In
Ita columns asking the whereabouts
or relatives that have moved away.

Taxing Bachelors
(Kansas City Star.)
A bill la pending in the Massachu
setts legislature for a tax on bachelors
of 35 a year to be uaed for the aid
of "worthy spinsters who have passed
the marriageable age.” A great idea.
Hut It would obviously be unjust to
subject the involuntary bachelor to the
same tax that is to be Imposed on
the wilful one. Wouldn't the pro
moters of the measure accept an
amendment which should permit an
exemption to the man who could pro
duce a certificate signed by a young
woman of character testifying that he
had dutifully proposed marriage and
been rejected? And would it not be
wise to make other provision for the
disposition of the tax fund? Surely
the friends of the hill did not give the
matter careful thought or they would
have recognized that It would be im
possible to find spinsters who have
“passed the marriageable age." There
aren't any such persons.
