The Bolivar Bulletin. Hugh Williams, Editor. Friday, January i, 1904. A happy and prosperous new year to the Bulletin's friends. Ovkr six ! hundred people perish ed in a fire at Chicago yesterday. The Iroquois Theater burned during a matinee performance. The mere fact that D. W. Mc Anulty has no- opposition for re election as chairman of the County Court, is evidence that he has per formed his duty well. The Pulaski Citizen says "it will be unfortunate for the state if legis lative candidates are nominated solely with reference to how they will vote for United States Senator A much better plan will be to nom inate the best men available for the legislature, and then, if that should seem desirable, instruct them how to vote for Senator." John Sharp Williams, leader of the democratic party in the House of Representatives, in speaking of national issues, says; "Revision of the tariff, at least so far as it shelters the great trusts; larger powers to the Interstate Commerce Commission to deal with transpor tation rates; colonialism, as recent ly inaugurated by this government; corruption in office; recklesness in our dealings with other nations these in niv opinion will be the great issues of the national cam paign of 1904, to be forced to the front by the democratic party And on them the democracy, united aud harmonious, will be willing to rest its claim to power. Others may develop as the present session of Congress progresses, but these will be the main questions to'be de cided." Gov. Ayecock on the Race Prob LEM. Baltimore, .Dec. 18. North Car olina's plau of settling the negro question was epitomized to-night by Gov. Charles Ayecock in a speech at the first annual dinner of the North Carolina Society of Balti more. Gov. -elect Yrarfield weicom ed the gaests. There were 300 per sons present. Gov. Ayecock said: "I am proud of my state, North CuFoiina, because there we have solved the negro problem, which re cently seems to have given you some trouble. We have taken him out of politics and have thereby secured good government under any party and laid foundations for the future development of both races. We have secured peace and rendered prosperity a certainty. 1 am inclined to give to you our so lution of this problem. 'It. is first, as lar as possible, under the filteenth amendment to disfranchise him, after that let him alone; quit writing about him; quit talking about him; quit making him the white man's burden; let him tote his own skiliet; quit coddling him; let him learn that no man or race ever got anything worth the having that he did not himself earn; that character is the outcome of sacrifice and worth is the result of toil; that whatever his future may be, the present has in it for him nothing that is not the product of industry, thrift, obedience to law and uprightness; that he cannot by reason of council or league, accom plish anything; that he can do much by work; that violence may gratify his passion, but cannot accomplish his ambition; that he may eat rare ly of the cooking of equality, but he will always find, if he does, that j there is death in the pot. Let the negro learn once for all that there is unending separation of the races; that the two people may develop side by side to the fullest, but that they cannot intermingle. "Let the white man determine that no man shall by act or thought or speech cross this line, and the I ehouia not await government aid, race problem will be at an end. but use to the utmost their own ex "Theee things are not said in en-' crtion to build good roads. -Banner. mity to the negro, but in regard for him. He constitutes one-third of the population of my state; he has always been my personal friend. As a lawyer I have often defended him and as governor I have fre quently protected him, But there flows in my veins the blood of the dominant race, that race that has conquered the earth and seeks out the mysteries of the heights and depths. If manifest destiny1 leads to the seizure of Panama, it certain- ly a little likewise leads to the dom- ' inance of the Caucasian. .When the negro recognizes this fact we i shall have peace and good will be- tween the races, but I would never have the white people forget their duty to the negro. We must seek the truth and pursue it. We owe an obligation to the 'man in black.' j We brought him here. He 6erved us well. He is natient and teach-! able. We owe him eratitude. Above all we owe him justice. As a white man, I am afraid of only one thing for my race, and that is that we shall become afraid to give the negro a fair chance." Good Roads. The age of steam and electricity has brought about rapid progress and development in many particu lars, but one of the basic necessi ties of an advanced civilization is still good roads country roads of the ordinary kind over which far mers carry their produce to ship ping points, and on which all travel and intercommunication of a local nature is dependent. Nothing adds more to the welfare of a community than good roads, and they are nec essary to make the railroad and steamboat lines of proper avail. A very quiet but persistent move ment is in progress all over the country now, having for its object the improvement of public roads. There are organization- for the pur pose of promoting the cause, but it has its chief support from the far mers of the country whose conven ience would be greatly served, and whose profits would be much in creased if good roads were general. The recent farmers' convention at Jackson passed a series of resolu tions advocating government aid to good roads, ine resolutions "em phasized the fact" that it is not de sired that "the government build the highways of the country', but only assist those counties and dis tricts which will undertake to raise money tor the purpose." The argument was made that th government 6pends millions of dol lars annually for the improvement of rivers, aud has subsidized rail roads with grants of public lands, aud thit a greater benefit would b derived from the improvement ot the public roads. The establish ment of rural mail routes was cited as another reason why the govern ment should have an interest ii road improvement. The eouven tion adopted this among other reso lutions: "Resolved, J hat we demand ot our Senators and Representatives ii Congress that they support any bib looking to an appropriation of th government funds in aid of th common roads of the country, be heviusr as we no that these initial sources of commerce need legifla tive aid as well as that which pass es over the great rivers and through the harbors of the seaboard and lakes." There could be no doubt of tin constitutionality of the appropria tion of public moneys for this pur pose. The government did . in ear ly days undertake the construclioi ot public ntLMiwavs m various parr?- of the country. The general ben eh" tint would result from road im provement is not to lx; qmiioiuvi. 1 lie cities would be Den in leu ai much as the country, of course, b - cause facilities for reaching marke are necessary for building the mar ket. 1 he "oou road movement is in every particular commei d.ible. The question of government aid will encounter opposition from the sticklers for the old-time states rights i lea, who insist not only on the right of local self-government, but in bearing their own burdens of public improvements. The ques tion in its true aspect is one ol economy only. If the government has the money to be used for such purposes there could be no rational objection to appropriations for road improvement. But, without repaid to the ques tion of national aid, the movement in favor of good roads is one that, deserves the greatest encourage ment. Couuties and localities RICHARDSON PREDICTS DEMOCTATIC Success. Washington, Dec. 21. liepresen- tative James D. Kichardson, of Tennessee, said to-day that in his opinion the prospects for democrat- ic success are better than they have been since 1802 "A majority of the white people apologists and defenders be of the United States are democrats, cause they pose as democrats. and thev want to see- democratic principles triumph," said Mr. Rich- ardson. "Democrats are now where, they were before the split on the money question," continued Mr. Richard- son. "There is no division ot be lief on the cardinal doctrines of the party. The money question is not an issue and will not bean issue in next jcar's campaign. I have no desire to attempt to write a demo- nratiu nlatform. but a reform of the tariff looking toward freer trade is something in which all democrats believe, and somethiug that is im- peratively demanded by the beet in- teresls of the1 country. Mind ,you. I do not say free trade, for the ne cessities of revenue make free trade impossible, but we could and should have freer trade along all lines, and not free trade in spots. "Other doctriues upon which all democrats can stand are business like economy in public expenditures, opposition to the autocratic rule of the present dynasty of the White House and honesty in our foreign relations. The latter is especially important. We should deal honest ly with other nations, that we miy remain at peace with. them We do not waul a war brought on by strenuousity and jingoism in our foreign intercourse. "I do not care at this time to en ter into a discussion of the several excellent men who have been' men tioned in conversation with the I'emociats. Any good democrat would be personally acceptable to me, and I do not believe there has been a sufficient crystalization of seutimeut to indicate who the choice of the party is or is likely to be. Any prediction in that respect would be the wildest sort of a guess." Foolish Proscription. Senator Cockrell, of Mis souri, has -been a Democratic Senator since 1875 and at th e nd of his "present term will have completed thirty years in the Senate. In all of his long service nobody has ever questioned his Democracy or his loyalty to party. lie ex pressed his opposition to the control of the votes of Dem ocratic Senators on pu die questions hy caucus rule, a rule that has not obtained heretofore. Doubtless Sena tor Cockrell is unable to see an' grave reason why twenty two democratic Senators shall have the right or power to bind or compel eleven other Democratic Senators to vote as they do on public measures on which - Democrats might honestly differ. Because of lii 3 attitude Senator Cock i ell's Democracy has been questioned by some of the intolerants and those of small minds. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat is a Kepub Mean paper, but it speaks by the record when it saTs: ''The moment a Missouri Democrat presumes to say or do anything i ot directed by the machine he is assailed. is Folk is, with the cha tire You are no Democrat.' " This is not only true in Missouri, but it is true in other States, among that class of democrats that funis it easier to echo than to think. Xo matter how de voutly or profoundly or un deistandingly one may be lieve in democratic principles if he expresses an opinion not in harmony with that of those who hold machine poli cies above honest principle or intelligent conviction he is declared to be no democrat by those-who mistake policy for principle and prejudice for conviction. Democrats who without question or in telligent understanding' fol low the lead of self-seekers arc. the delight of those poli ticians who find it easy to lead when there is only blind obedience and unquestioning. approval. These make cor rupt machines possible and enable grafters to thrive. It is the democrat who dares to Pea I10,iest- Convictions and to question the methods and judgment of those who assume to be leaders, who excites their wrath and who invites the anathemas of their echoes and satellites. It is so in Missouri where thieves and grafters find It is this class of democrats who charge that Joe rolk IS not a democrat and who un dertake to question. the dem ocracy of Senator Cockrell. A large percentage of the ablest and most prominent democrats in the nation, men who have fought for demo cratic principles and ideas lor years and who were leaders when the party was fighting great battles, have within the past seven years been de nounced as traitors and re publicans by democrats who are able to- lead only to de-1 feat aud disaster and hy dem ocrats who exhibit only the . All I h capacity to ioilow blindly.. The majority ol the ablest and best democratic riews-i papers have also been simi-i larly denounced because of their opinions and adherence to what they conceived to be sound democratic principles and their refusal to indorse what they believed to be un wise policies. Many of the ablest democrats were driven or voluntarily retired from public service on account ol this intolerance, but the new papers have thrived and grown stronger because they do not depend on political patronage or public office for their support, but on printing the news, courageously expressing enlightened opinions and telling the truth as they see the truth. In all the list of newspapers who are so fiercely condemn ed we call to, mind not a sin gle one that, is not to-day stronger in public patronage, support and substantial con fidence than it was seven years ago. Their vindication has been complete aud they have shown themselves an honor to American iournal ism. Nashville American.
