dice against the negro Is Just as In?
tense In the North as in the South and
that the North play* the hypocrite in
Its I .>nt? iitl.?ns to the contrary, _^?ts
boldly and bluntly asserted In the
genau today bv a Republican Senator.
??Bator Borah, of Idaho, was the
speaker. His declarators regarding
l tfje- negro were made at the close of
a prolonged speech. In opposition to
LS the Sutherland amendment to the
" genets resolution providing for the
election of Renators by popular vote.
The amendment would have the ef?
fect of giving Congress control of Sen?
atorial elections.
Mr. Borah's pronouncement on th?
^pSaaee question was made In response
to the recent aasertlon of Senator
Hoot, that without the Sutherland pro
vtslcsajsUe resolution would deprive
the southern negroes of Federal pro?
tection 14. exercise of the franchise.
Mr. Borah dissented from the New
Yorker's view and In doing so used
language which elicited congratula?
tions from man) Senators.
Notwithstanding Mr. Borah's notice
that he would ask the Senate to sit
today until a vote could be reached on
the elections resolution, the proceed?
ings on that measure were confined to
his own discussion of It. He succeed?
ed, however. In getting ? concession
that the resolution should be taken up
tomorrow, immediately after the dis?
position of routine business. The
postponement was granted to ac?
commodate a number of Senators who
still desire to speak on the subject
Mr. Borah contended that as the
resolution stands, notwithstanding It
gives State Legislatures control of
Senatorial elections, Congress would
still have the right to Interfere In
C protecting any cltlsen whose right of
franchise had been Interfered with.
The Idaho Senator expressed deep
regret that the race question had been
brought Into the controversy and as?
sorted that Its Introduction was in?
tended onlv . imperil th re 1 . tlon.

tlon always had assumed more wis?
dom and more tolerance In dealing
with this problem thsn had been dts
Cyed elsewhere. He Insisted that a
I of the roll of the Northern States.
In which there Is any appreciable num?
ber of negroes, would demonstrate
that the North had not dei>t more le?
niently with the negro than had oth?
er sections.
Osk "The Northern States have ex
Minted the same race prejudice that
has been shown elsewhere." he as
"In the North we burn the
at the stake and there, as In
other sections, we have our race wars.
We push our negroes to the outer
?ige of the Industrial world. We ex?
hibit the same prejudices, the ume
jeaknesaes. the same intolerance that
I apparent In the Southland."
Mr. Borah declared that If Congress
had power under tne existing provis?
ions of the Constitution, giving Con?
gressional control over Senatorial
?elections, It should he exercised. "If
that right exists, the North has the
greater bllgatlon under it. because it
makes .?im to It. We assert the
power, but we admit that we haven't
had the moral courage to exercise It."
For himself, he denied the existence
l4tf any such power, and said tbat he
resented such a position because of
the position In which Congress was
placed by It.
Concluding he said "The negro
has been used an a politic al football
about as Ions as our own sense of de
Y^ney and his developing Intelligence
will permit. U . h .Mbl no |, n?. r
mistreat him. bat we should b.r. ih<

sttuat.on. It does not benefit him to
mske nil.-* th. subject of our sopho
Otic rhett.'le. The negro has ad
|red to the point whelu we \\.||
may dispense with the perennial dis?
tribution of soothing syrup and give
him solid food hi the way of facts.
We should tell him the truth and
conceal nothing.
"The negro In beginning to realize
4r\at the white m.tri of the North If < f
the same race aa the white man of
the South, and that In his blood Is the
virus of dominion and power, He
should know, whlb* his slave chains
have been broken, the chains of In?
dustry are being forged around him
rfsd will continue to hold him unless
ne himself breaks them. This badge
was placed upon him by his maker,
and It can he removed only by the n -
gro himself, with the aid of thone who
have the ourage to tell him Iba
truth, whlrh Is that we have the pjw
ggaxga guarantee to him the equal pro?
tect him
' 1 -
against discrimination. To attempt
anything more would he runlous to
the colored political body. He must
work out the problem under the Con?
stitution.
When the exigencies of debute are
r It will he found that no measures
will he offered In this Senate to pro
t i any supposed right of the colored
man anywhere. If those who are In
rX sted will turn to the Constitution,
U v will find there the one universal
rule of equality, the only rule to be
applied to the negro, and the only
rule under which we can legislate. If
applied, It will bo proven to be the
correction rule, the rule for all of
us."

TRUSTEE MATTER F?R COURTS
JOHN RICHARDS, JR., so
WRITES GOV. BLEASt?,
Rays ills Recommendation as Member
of Clemeon Board Will Jfot Deter?
mine Issues Involved.
Columbia, Fob, 17.?John Q. Rich
ords, Jr., a member of the railroad
commission, yesterday addrt ^'nl a ht
ler to Qov, Bleaae asking that the
question of the right of a trustee of
a State college to hold a public office
he Anally decided In the courts of the
State.
Mr. Richards is a member of the
hoard of trustees of Clemson college,
having been elected by the general as?
sembly. He .says that he will refuse
to resign until the matter has been
finally decided by the courts of the
State. He takes the position that his
resignation will in no way decide the
issues involved.
The Letter.
The letter of Mr. Richards to Gov.
Blease follows:
"I have read your message to the
legislature, in which you call atten?
tion to what you regard as a violation
of the constitution upon the part of
myself and others who are serving as
trustees of State college while holding
other positions under the government.
1 have also read the report of the sub?
committee of the senate and house, in
which they give it as their opinion
that 'The Hon. John Q. Richards, Jr.,
who Is an elected trustee of Clemson
college and also railroad commis?
sioner of this State, Is holding one or
the other of the said offices contrary
to the constitution of the State."
"1 was elected upon the board of
trustees of Clemson college without
being a candidate for the position
and by practically the unanimous vote
of the general assembly. I was at
that time a member of the legislature
and served two yeasr as a member of
that body while a member of the
Clemson board. The question involv?
ing the same issue as raised by your
message was submitted to the legisla?
ture by resolution during the session
of 1909 or 1910. The judiciary com?
mittee of that body, as I recall it, ren?
dered an opinion that the holding of J
a trusteeship of a State college or
school, while serving in another gov?
ernmental capacity, was not a viola?
tion of the constitution and there the
matter rested. J haVi D< ' f? II

on this question, some holding that
a trusteeship of a State college or
school Is an office as contemplated by
the constitution and others that it is not
The question, therefore, is still an open
one and will remain so until finally
settled by proper authorities namely
the courts of the State. The decision
of this sub-committee Is merely an
opinion and may or may not be cor?
rect. It certainly has no binding
effect and it does not settle the ques?
tion. I do not wish to in any way vio?
late the laws of the State nor wiil I
do so when convinced that any course
I may be pursuing Is In violation of
its teaching, but, as 1 see it, my resig?
nation from the Clemson board will in
no way determine the issue involved,
This question Is far-reaching in effect
and involves every trustee of every
school and college In the State who
may be holding any position with the
government and should be settled once
for all. The sub-committee of this
legislature appointed to Inquire into
this matter recommended that the
attorney general Institute proceedings
before the proper tribunal to deter?
mine whether or not certain trustees
of Clemson college are holding these
positions contrary'to the constitution
and I respectfully request that the
proper proceedings be Instituted to
determine this question in all its
phases at the same time. I feel that
this la the proper course for me to
pursue and that it is best for all In?
terests involved."

FRETTING DOESN'T PAY.
Peace of Mind Destroyed, Balance of i
Judgment Sadly Impaired.
What suffers when one frets! Cer?
tainly, says The Baltimore American,
one's peace of mind is destroyed, cer?
tainly one's balance of judgment is
impaired, certainly one's ability to
rise to occasions becomes dulled.
Ambition is deadened; buoyancy,
there is none. Sleep fails, wrinkles
come upon the features, the eye loses
its genlalty and the dead light of care
obscures the soul's rays, or else the
flashlight of resentment is quick to
rise. Home is made unhappy, friend?
ship less valued, the world wrapped
In gloom. Around the corner is a
sanitarium that seems to draw the
habitual fretter with irresistible enrrio
He may i pcape It, he m ly i ? ? re
lAing is oecause It is a process of j
fraying the nerves. One takes wool
or flax, and to v.i* the term of the
laboratory, tears It out until the
minutest strands are separated, one
from the other. There is no longer
organization, simply organic matter
that has lost its function. It is so
with the nerves when one habitaully
frets. Worry wears and tears the
tender nerves that do the tremen?
dous work of carrying sensations to and
from the brain and that surpass any
registry ever devised in their regis?
tration of emotional values.
As fretting lacks harmony It Is not
lit for transmission along a system de?
vised for accord; as it lacks logic. It
has no place in a system whose pur?
pose is primarily to bring the sensa?
tions that enter the brain Into right
forms of thought or impulse. So fret?
ting Is only a wearing and fraying
process. It Is the delicate nerve sys?
tem that suffers in the process. One
feels that he has a brain as heavy as
lead, a mind that simply will not re?
spond to the ordinary process of
quickening because it has becom?
sodden, leaden and lifeless.
Why do people fret? It is not
pleasant to portray the delights of
peace and placidity. But at times It
becomes necessary to awaken fret
ters to the peril they invite in order
to make them desist from the most
neediest and the most cruel self-pun?
ishment that they can suffer.
Fretting is altogether a habit. it
is often much .m< e disastrous than
any of the habits that society organ?
izes to combat. Why then do people
fret? When they feel the dull sense
of fear, without be ing able to ascribe
it to any particular fact, why do they
not resolutely turn the mind to other
channels? It can be done. The habit
ual fretter should practice pain?
stakingly, day by day, the art of self
control and secure the development
of nerve force, It is not a work of
a moment, but the moment one re?
solves not to fret and register that
resolution deeply in the brain cells,
that moment has he marked his
enia nclpatlon.
\\ hen one determines no longer to
fret he seeks something as a foil t<
the Inducement, and In so doing h<
finds some aid, hi finds some com?
panionship, he finds some consolatory
books, he finds some legitimate and
helpful cult, Every one may find the
auti fretting helps that will enable
him to overcome the debilitating hab?
it of worry.

HINDUS FOR COTTON FIELDS.
California Woman Has Solved The
Labor Proposition To Her Satisfac
t ion.
Mrs. S. P. Wiles, a wealthy resi?
dent of Los Angeles, who has sever?
al thousand acres in cotton here?
abouts, has solved the labor problem
to her own satisfaction by employing
Hindus. She spends much of her
time on her plantation superintend?
ing the work, and she says the Hin?
dus do their work well and cheerful?
ly.
Mrs. Wiles has already met with
difficulties, not the least of which is
the feeling of antagonism among the
whites toward her. Hindu cotton
pickers, similar to, though not as
strong as, that felt against the Chin
...v mj vwio are naving their
own troubles.
Robert E. Goepel, of Port Gibson,
Miss., whoso family has been raising
cotton for many years on their plan?
tation in Callborne county, Mississippi,
is here arranging for the building of
a cottonseed oil mill. He sticks to the
the old Southern negroes and will use
them on the big plantation his
family has purchased here.
"Negroes on our plantation in Clai
borne county will be brought here as
soon as we can begin planting cotton,"
he said. "The boll weevil has written
the doom of cotton In Mississippi. The
planters are moving away. I know
of a number of planters who have
bought land in imperial Valley, and
they will bring hundreds of negroes
from the old plantations to work the
tlelds.
"A few years ago Caliborne county
yielded 27,000 bales of cotton in a
season. The last crop was only 4,
50C bales. At one time the Port Gib?
son oii works crushed 40,000 tons of
( otton seed a year. That has dwind
1? d almost to nothing. The passing
of cotton in parts of the South is a
tragedy Which the planters do not
know how to meet. The negroes
know cotton and cotton alone; they
Will not tend any other crop. The
only recourse Is imigration, and the
planters when they emigrate will take
their negro workers with them."
