TU liottcr'tliati a thousand stcaned Frutit fMM-hr anon. Editorials Can the Constitutional Rights of Any Ele ment of the American People Be Forever Curtailed. From the reading of an article published in the Globe Dem ocrat of recut publication, which we reprint elsewhere, in this issue, we glean the following woeful facts, namely; that there is a certain element of our citizens which is denied ma ny of the fundamental rights gaurautoed by the Federal Con.

stitution and sanctioned by a large, a very large majority of Americans. The writer of the article also alleges that this wholesale abuse of laws is for partisan favoriteism, and perpetuation, and from the fact cited we must admire the truth of these allegations. Hence, it very logically follows, that the inquisitive will ask how long this state of affairs will be permitted to run its nefarious race unhampered, and what should and must be taken to right these greatest of all wrongs perpetrated upon the defenseless and forbearaut elcnint. That citizens arc disfranchised contrary to true American tthics is acknowledged by all; that ballot manipulations are fauduleut is an open avowal of the parties who deal in such wickedness, goes beyond dispute. And that the courts, both State and Federal, evade their dut' in dealing with such con ditions any sane person cau very redily perceive, Yet in the face of all this, the common people, the "bone and sinews," of the republic stand apparently powerless to act.

These conditions cannot be evaded forever; they must'be dealt with by a strong. hand. Who will act? The conservative citizen, the citizen who ever conies to the front to steer the "ship of state" thru the reefs of adversity more than once. State legislation may dodge, with impunity, the laws by making evasive statutory enactments; Federal courts may render adverse decisions and hand down uuamorican citations of laws, but a day is approaching when the reading, earnest, liberty-loving, and conservative citizen will assert himself. The Republican party, in its nationtl platfoaui may dodge the constiiutioutl abuses that have been allowed to run so long in the South for the purpose of mollif ying southern sentiment but, there is but ono way to handle Ihose conditions, that way is the right way the way Hamilton, Washington, Justices Jay andMarshall, Lincoln, and scores of others of the builders of the Republic desired them to be handeled, i.e., to grant to all men the full constitutional rights.

The Democratic Party may yell that it is ''Race Question'' when the 4 people begiu to ask that these abuses be righted, but these will be of no avail because those people who are being so bitterly crushed are developing manhood, acquiring iutelli gence and wealth in fact they are acquiring powor that will force the meeting out of justice. Therefore wc say we have no time to lose in lamenting our present condition but we arc girding ourselves for an aggres sive work. We mean to accent rhe elements of oower and en-. f. i ergy that will make us irresistible.

Are the Southern Democratic leaders trying to take themselves out of the mi ion again! It begins to look that way. They are talking about putting tbn race issue into Ihe campaign of 19OJ, with the hope, presumably, of injuring ihe e. publican patty thi-roby. This shows a simptonof tho return of the mildness which precipitated secession a thirdof a century ago. 1 horo Is belief on tho pail of some of the leaders of tho llourbon Democracy th'jitthe raeo issuo could be made to win vote, away from IfepuMi cans in the North.
