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.

Omaha Voting on New Charter The Politicians, Saloon* and Street Railway Lined Up in Opposition. Omaha.—Omaha la voting on a new charter to extend the powers of the present commission government, which has been so successful. The lollllclsns arc making u desperate fight to defeat the charter ami have raised some fnlse issues, particularly affecting changes In the election ma chinery. They alao are making a strong fight against n provision which would limit the number of saloons to 240 until 1920, and thereafter to "no to each "ne thousand of population, and to confine saloons to a limited area of the city embraced in the busi ness district. The street railway company, which operates all the lines In Omaha, South O lha ao.l I'.mix tl llluffs, la., la also fighting Lhe charter because of a pro vision giving the city tho right to compel the company to sell seven tickets for twenty-five cents. The politician* also are fighting a provision which will permit Omaha nml Douglas county to combine their Jails, tiix collection, tax assessmint and other offices to reduce expenses. This would throw a lot of "the iKiys" out of Jolts. Along with the charter Is being submitted a proposition to vote $225,- 000 In bonds to buy the city audito rium, now privately owned.

Of course, such a thing Is possible. If every householder and mer chant In Augusta were to spend Just a few hours looking for those lurking file* which soon shall begin to plan for their summer campaign of death and destruction, sorrow and loss, all of these potential plagu%-breeders could be eliminated; and It Is reasonable to assert that, tinder such condi tions, thla city would have the healthiest, as well as the most comfortable, sumitibr It ever has known. Cleveland tried the experiment last summer, under the direction of a far-sighted young school teacher, who planned and carried out a ram -I,aign,aign that would have done credit to an old fighter And while the work was not begun until somewhat late, it was so successful that by the middle of August, when flies have been their worst heretofore, that city was virtually free of them Augusta can accomplish a like result; and the sooner the Work starts the easier will he its achievement. That is why we are putting forth this reminder at a time when, In the average mind, thoughts of flies arc far distant. A swat In time will suve more than 4.000,000,060,000,000,000,000 flies! A SUBSCRIBER’S TRUST IN HIS PAPER (J. B. Powell, Instructor in advertis ing at the University of Missouri, 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 -111 that effect. It is paid that citizens 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. This personal feeling of confidence In their favorite newspaper Is well shown In many country newspaper offices where the editor will show you dozens and dozens of subscribers who have i moved away to distant communities. seen why other young men went past him when times for advancements came. Hill's friend dressed and hurried to work, leaving Bill some addresses where he could apply for a Job. As Bill sat there, he thought of what his friend had said about his clothes. 1 can't see anything the matter with them, thought Bill, they're clean and neat looking—guess I'll save that mon ey the new ones would cost, 'til I get a Job. anyway.

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. of recommendation from the minister and leading grocer of Bill's home town in his pocket The first place Bill tried was in tho shipping department of a large concern, and when he finally got to see the boss und showed him the letters, they to cause that young man and some others who were looking over his shoulder a great deal of merriment.
