I was frankly H ikeptical. j But later learned that all respect* ible Southern people are agreed that a decent negro is more desirable citizen than a sorry white man. [ learned, also, that the lowest element of the whites is really inferior to the black race?morally, intellectually, and otherwise. Knowinor then how the n??rrn n?t. O r ?-O"" I terns after the white man, and gauges his manner of speech and conduct! by the white man's humor, I was not greatly surprised to find that the sorriest of white men can persuade the black into devilment. All Southern people recognize the necessity for certain restrictions upon the colored race. Treat him a shade too kindly, give him a shade too much encouragement, and the average negro becomes unbearably impudent. Impudence leads to disregard fot law and officers of the law, and the spoiled negro becomes a criminal. Cole L. Blease, whom unkind cfc cumstance placed in the governor^ chair professed to be a white-man^ man. He vetoed the appropriation r ? 1 i?-- . - A_ -?- - *? ? lur u neaimg system ior ine negnr school, and hastened to make political capital out of the incident by declaring that many a poor white man's children had to dress on a cold morning without fire, and he, the Poor Man's Friend, didn't propose to furnish steam heat for negro children to dress by. It was very heroic, and very good politics?but it was pure sham! Blease loves a "nigger." No abolitionist of the '60s could have felt the tender soul-yearning for the colored folk that our beloved governor feels. He dotes on 'em?and he will protect 'em, have a care, at any cost! Blease owns an auto. He hires a negro to drive it for him. The negro puffed up doubtless by the size of his job, takes little thought of the speed laws of our capital city of Columbia, and races up the main thoroughfare regardless. unce me negro driver was arresv?J ed and fined. Blease promptly doned him. Again he was arrestedjl and Blease issued another pardonffl But the police authorities of ColumJ) bia paid no attention to the pardons! The negro paid the fines?and cohtfrni ued to speed. Was not a white man, the governor of the State, looking after him? T'ell with Columbia's police. When his pardons were ignored, Blease resorted to a characteristic trick. Richland county is a dispensary county. It has a constabulary force. The men on the force receive $90 the month, half of which is paid by the county, half by Columbia. The governor appoints the men. And now, every time Columbia fines the governor's chaufTeftir, the governor "gets even" by appointing n nrvtVinv *v? ? uiiumvi IIIC1IIUCI U1 bite CUIISUIUUlHry force?adding $46 the month to Columbia's expense account?and boasting of it. Picture, if you can, a white governor of a white State, standing with his protecting, arm about a woolyheaded black, and saying to white officers of the law: "Stand back there, white folks! Keep your hands off my pet- What if he does break laws? Ain't he MY nigger? Ain't I governor? You bet I am! And I'll protect this darling nigger auto driver of mine if it takes the white State militia to do it!" And he will, too. Blease bids for notoriety by de daring that he approves of lynching negroes?but he protects his own negro. At that, he is consistent enough. For the lynching, of which he so heartily approves, is lawless; and his chauffeur, whom he so fondly upholds, is also lawless. * Can it be that Blease is simply ^ against anything and everything that smacks of decency and order? Poor, ignorant governor! c And poor, unfortunate negro * chauffeur. He will, without doubt, " oecome so badly spoiled by the governor's unwise protection, that some conscientious white citizen will find t necessary to?well, to adopt the jsual corrective measures. < Poor negrol .
