THE NEGRO IN WASHINGTON.
Surely It Ik not the purpose on the
part of the South anti the democratic
party to make war on the negro cltl
r< tis of the country.
Kor reaaons too obvloue and too
well understood to need rehearsing
here, the South has been emharrnas
ed and held bark by the haaty and

Country aa any part of the North or
West, but It has never been the idea,
as we understand It. of the Southern
people to cut the negro oTf from op
portunities which do not conflict
with the supreinar , j of the white p«o
p!e In the South.
The South and the democratic
partv hsve stood gqugrwly on the plat
form of self preservation When
that la attained, why should we take
up the mail Idea that It Is our part
to dictate to or interfere with the
North, and Its treatment of negro
nit I tens?
It'ls ohilditth and quarrelsome to
demand that the negro shall he dis
criminated agaiuat by the democratic
i
I administration in the District of Co
• lurabia. It is merely captious and
, unreasonable to expect President
| Wilson to exercise his power as chief
executive lit this narrow and par
tisan spirit. It is of little or no ini
I ortance to the Southern people that
tiio Recorder of Deeds in the District
of Columbia is a negro and It is misr
erably small and wide of the real is
sue, to make a fight on this matter.
President Wilson, upon realizing
that the object in removing the Re
corder of Deeds In the District of Co
lumbia was to push the negroes out
of office, tias made a promise to re
place the present. Incumbent with an
other of tlie same race. This is not
because the president is Imbued with
any Northern Idea of flaunting the
negroes before the Southern people,
hut simply because he believes that
the race, having been given the rights
of citizenship, cannot justly he dis
criminated against in the national
capital.
Wo think President Wilson is ex
actly right in his attitude on this mat
ter and we deeply deplore tlie tenden
cy In certain quarters to let race
feeling lead the people of the Sout.i
upon grounds so untenable- and so
far away. Surely the most that the
South can ex eel, or hope Is that
under the very mistaken and unfor
tunate law of the land each slate
may yet continue to decide the ques
tion of the m gro in politics for Itself,
Tlie fact that the Recorder of Deeds
directs and controls young white wo
men In his olflice Is certainly re
pugnant to the Southern mind, but
the white women of the South will
llnd employment elsewhere. Wo
cannot hope to lie let alone In the
conduct of our local affairs if we
take upon ourselves the task of reg
ulating matters of a strictly national
nature by our own jocal and sectional
standards.
President Wilson was born in Au
gusta. mured tn South Carolina and
Virginia and started life tn Atlanta.
No man understands the South’s dif
ficulties and handicaps better than
he, but the president would do his
party and the South a gross injustice

gain considerably by direct forwarding

HONORABLE JOSEPH M. BROWN
- OFFERS ONE TIME TOO MANY
(From the Columbus hedger.)
The final derision of former Gov
ernor Joseph M. Brown to enter the
• enatorldl race In opposition to Hoke
Hmilh will be a disappointment to his
leal friend* and to nil lovers of po
litical peace in Georgia. It was
thought by many that the old ‘political
feud” which had been so detrimental
to the Htate all these years, causing
friction in line* of business a* well
a* politic*, passed away when Mr.
Brown voluntarily retired from the of
fice of governor, declaring at the time
that he was “done with politics.”
But Ifokr Smith become* United
State* senator. This *eem* to be the
trouble with the former governor, who
appear* to have always maintained a
tremendous amount of for
wards the man who removed him from
the Htate railroad commission. And
this feeling seen * to have been greatly
Intensified by the “ardent” support
er* of Mr. Brown who happen to he
political enemle* of Smith. So here
we jire face to face with another bitter
political campaign in Georgia. And
there i* no reaJ good reason for It
either.
The Ledger has always been an ad
mirer of Mr. Brown. During past cam
paign* we have supported him and we
have had no cause to regret It. Few
men made better record* a* executive
of the and we found many
thing* constructivev and commend
able in his administration.
But, The ledger cannot stand by
Mr. Brown in the pending contest for
the senate. Frankly we are surprised
at the former governor entering the
>raco against Mr. Smith, who ha* made
«uch an enviable record In the upper
branch of the national congress. Hoke
Smith has become a leader In the na
tion* a administration, being one of
President Wilson!# cloest adviser*.
THE WA YS OF A WOMAN
He Packed Up His Belongings and Followed the Fair
Singer on Her Travels—She Muayt Have a Protector at
Her Side if t imilar Scenes Like the One in Tonapah
Should Occur Again and Bill Was a Splendid Protector.
Jim and Bill were furioun. The way
that man In the box office treated hon
est miners was outrageous! For more
than hnlf an hour they had had to bar
gain with him for tickets and after all
they finally had to pay half a dollar
each, but then of course they had got
seats in the front row right next to the
stage. Then they had had a row
with that fool of a porter who would
not let them enter the hall unless they
left their six-shooters outside. T>ld any
one ever hear of such a thing? To part
with the guns they even slept with! But
the ports* was an ex-champion pugilist,
so what could they do? With many
curses they handed over the guns and
walked to their front seats through the
crowded hall, scowling angrily at every
body hut determined to have a good
time.
In a moment an old grand piano was
rolled on to the stage and a sporty
looking young man sat down and ham
mered out a tune. Then SHE came,
she for whom Jim and Bill and one
hundred and fifty other lovers of art
were waiting the great Azuzena Zol
fanelli, the most famous singer of two
hemispheres.
Many a famous Italian singer had al
ready been heard in Tonopah, Nevada,
singers like Marsala Trapsna and Flora
Blrrhlnhinu, hut a Zolfanelli had never
been there yet. And on the flaming
poster at the entrance everyone could
reud that the whole world adored Azuze
na Zolfanelli; that she was the only
guaranteed genuine Sicilian night ingale
whose hand 'Teddy” Roosevelt laid kiss
ed To emphasize this truth the let
ters on the poster were nearly half *
yard high.
Still It cannot be denied that the Si
cilian nightingale did not look quite as
beautiful as on the poster. Her hair
was reddish brown, hair dyes being
rather primitive In Nevada, and on her
cheeks she bad a thick layer of white
and red. But even if she was no classic
beauty, she was attractive enough to
look at. according to Tonapah stand
ards. She wore a magnificent blue gown
and golden slippers, real shining golden
slippers.
A storm of applause greeted her ap
pearance She nodded smiling to the
enthusiastic miners, who would hH\e
been Squally enthusiastic even if she
had merely been a woman in blue velvet
gown ami not the world famous artist,
for men were many and women few in

mere beauty, but a singer, and «■ soon
the applause had subsided^she step
ped to the piano and sang It must he
admitted that if she sang not a little
out bf tune, she sang loud, very loud
Indeed Jim said later that he had never
heard anybody sing ns loud as Zolfanelli.
Here singing met with general ap
proval except for some dosen or so of
the audience, who voiced their resent
ment In no uncertain terms. Bill growl

miners In the midst of her rendering of

fHE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
Hr has accomplished much for his
constituents in Georgia, and the
Southland generally, and the peoPle
of this state have no idea of turning
him down and out at this time simply
to yratify the political aspiration of
the former governor and satisfy the
political "friends” of Mr. Brown, who
happen to be the enemies of Smith.
The Ledger believes that Mr. Brown
lias allowed himself to be misled this
time by those who are unfriendly to
Mr. Smith, whose apparent ambition
is to thwart the efforts and, if possi
ble, kill the influence of the brilliant
Georgia senator whose splendid
achievements at Washington seem to
have gone against the grain with
them. There are no Issues involved
in the campatgnlngg arid there is noth
ing on the surface to indicate the ob
ject of the former governor in lining
up against Smith now, save a desire
to renew that old and deplorable po
litical strife tietween the friends of the
two men, and this seems to have been
forced on Mr. Brown by some of his
"friends,” who have become blinded
by bitterness. Therefore, we say, we
are surprised at the former executive
yielding to this class.
The people of Georgia have enough
of the Smith-Brown factional politics.
They are tried of such bitterness and
unrest and they are not going to al
low the impending contest to bother
them to any great extent. The Ledger
has seen nothing to indicate that the
friends of the senator or Mr. Smith
himself was responsible for any part
of the movement to resurrect the old
lend, and we believe that the ac
tion of the friends of Brown in tak
ing the initiative will react on the
Brown followers, thereby minimizing
the number of Brown votes on the
date of the primary.

Jim had to walk out with hi* hands

had for his chivalry. There ho stood

dering how Billy had been forgiven so
quickly. What a fool he had been to
let run get near the singer. He in
stead of Bill might now have been sit
ting with her in the parlor smoking ci
garettes. And he had promised to send
the twenty-nine offenders on the same
errand. He decided to wait for Bill in
the barroom.
But he waited In vain. Bill did not
appear. He had packed up his belong
ings and followed the fair singer on her
travels. She must have a protector at
her side if similar scenes like the one
In Tonapah should occur again and Bill
was a splendid protector.
Gave Evidence in Favor
of German Army Officers;
is Now Reaping Reward
Berlin.—One of the most prosper- j
oils women in Germany at the present,
time if Frau Ewers, who is likely to J
be known to fame as the Widow of j
Zabern. During the “Army v. People"!
episodes in Alsace-Lorraine last win-1
ter she eked out a humble existence j
as a tobacconist. Her simp was near;
the public square in which Colonel !
von Reuter's troops overawed the
populace after arresting the town
judge, public prosecutor and thirty
other civilians.
At the court she gave evidence In
favor of the otficcrs. and civilians
boycotted her shop A statement to
that effect was published broadcast
in the German press, and Frau Ewers 1
began to receive checks and orders
for cigars and tobacco from all parity
of the country. Most of them came
from army officers or ex otficers, and
were accompanied by words of grat
itude for iier patriotic conduct.
Each of her new customers seemed
to take it upon himself io secure or
ners for the widow, with the result
that she had to engage assistance.
Now, she has practically become a i
wholesale dealer, as most of her or- j
d-'rs come from outside Zabern, and;
she has found it necessary to estab
lish a branch shop la neighboring
Alsaee-lkirralne towns.
