BE AT THE BACK OF IT.
PECULIAR “ PRESTO CHANGE” OF THE
Louisville Newspapers. The People of Everj
State Must Sooner or Later Take uo the
Fight and put an End to Political Dom
ination by Railroad Corporation.
Chicago, til., July 22.—(Editorial Cor
respoudence.)—Next to Mr. Bryan, tin
on who attracted most interest among
the distinguished Democrats who ha\>
been here this week were ex-Governoi
Hogg, of Texas, and Mr. Win. Goebel
of Kentucky. The first was baited a*
having unveiled the real sentiment of the
rank and file of Tammany’s voters, am
the second as the new leader of Ken
tucky, whose nomination has ev'oker
such opposition in the Democratic party
in Kentucky as has not been known in
a State which has had more than its
share of political feuds.
Gov. Hogg’s Tammany speech and the
demonstration for Bryan that followed
it is easily the most significant political
event of the year. Tammany thought it
had the triggers all set to tire off the
Van Wyck boom. (A prominent corpora
tion lawyer front Alabama was given
the place of honor, and it had been wide
ly advertised that he was to launch the
Van Wyck boom. He made a good
speech-, and paid Van Wyck many de
served compliments which were well re
ceived. He math* no allusion to Bryan.
It had been arranged that no speaker
should mention the Nebraskan’s name.
Carat h in his written speech had a
reference to Bryan, hut the Tammany
bosses cot it out. When Gov. Hogg was
invited, at the last minute, to speak he
had written nothing and his speech could
not therefqye be censored. He spoke of
Bryan as “the matchless leader,” and
the Tauvmgny bryves greeted bis words
with a spontaneous enthusiasm that was
as genuine as it was undesired at that
time. It showed that the men who labor
for their bread in New .York are as true
to Bryan as the men of like condition in
North Carolina or Nebraska. It was not
that they did not admire and love Van
Wyck. but that they love Bryan more.
Van Wyck is an able, clean and honest
man who would make an excellent
President. The fact that Tammynyites
prefer Bryan for President merely means
that like other Democrats they have no
idea of voting for anybody else, and
when the leaders try to switch them off
to some other.good man, they resent it.
If the party should gu East for a candi
date upon a modified platform, there is
uo better man than Van Wyck. He is
honest and able, but the Taymjany
scetie emphasized the fact that the plat
form of 189(5 will he re-affirmed, and
Bryan will be nominated. There is hut
one thing that can prevent Bryan’s re
uomination, and that is Bryan himself.
If he should believe another man, equally
devoted to the principles for which he
stands could receive more votes than
would be cast for him, he would he the
first to favor a new candidate. At pres
ent that man is not in sight and a scan
ning of the horizon fails to show that he
is coming.
* * *
The Kentucky situation is one that
has given great trouble to party leaders
In 1894, because of the 4’leveland-Our
lisle recreuny Kentucky elected the
first Republican Governor in a quarto:
< f a century, and because the Uepuhli
cans and the Carlisle crowd were in
control. anna’s agents were permitted
to steal the electoral vote of that Stati
for McKinley. Then* came the reaction
from Republicanism that is always sun
to come to every Southern Stati
that the Republicans carry, and ii
ISPS Kentucky returned to thi
Democratic fold, and Kentucky was sup
]H).s»*d to he as firmly anchored in tin
Democratic column as Georgia. Tin
nomination of William Goebel for Gov
ernor, after a whole week’s hitter win
iin the Stare convention, has caused suet
a bitter factional war in the party as
to make some Democrats fear that tin
State will go Republican in Novembi*
In two days there have been deiegatiom
here from Kentucky, representing tin
factions, each seeking to influence Mr
Bryan. The Goetrel men, having tin
stamp of regularity, have been urging
him to use bis influence to elect tin
regular ticket Urging three reasons why
he should do 7
L The oh. Mention that nominated
Goebel reaffirmed tlie Chicago plat.font
and endorsed Bryan for ronomination
and Blackburn for the Senate.
2. if that ticket, upon such a platform
should be defeated, il would make Ken
tucky doubtful in 1 fHMI, and give a set
back to the cause.
3. 3he anti-Goebel men assert tlia 4
one reason why Goebel should be defeat
ed is that he is at heart a gold-bug and
an enemy of Mr. Bryan’s. The Louis
ville Dispatch, tin* anti-Goeliel organ, ha
asserted time and again that the defen*
of Goebel is necessary in order to hob
the State for Bryan. They have invoked.
Mr. Bryan’s name against the regular
Democracy, and therefore it was neces
sary for Mr. Bryan to declare for the
regular tieket to prevent the damage be
ing dome by that use of his name.
'The anti-Goebel men urged that Goe
bel’s defeat is desirable:
1. Because he obtained his nomination
by dishonest methods.
2. Because he is at heart a gold-hug.
and is in league with anti-Bryan men to
send a hostile delegation to the National
Convention.
3. Because he is a Isiss. seeking to gov
ern by methods that are not in harmony
with Democratic traditions.
These are the contentions. I had a
talk with one of the best posted men
in Kentucky, and one of the truest sil
ver and Bryan men- in the State, and
asked him what was the real secret of
the revolt against Goebel, and he said:
RAILROADS AGAINST GOEBEL.
“For many years the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad has largely dominat
ed the polities of Kentucky. They were
able to defeat a Railroad Commission
except one that was a mere figurehead
with no powers; to evade just taxation:
to jwevent the passage of a fellow ser
vant law, such as you have in North
Caro,iua. and largely to exercise a veto
upon men and measures inimical to their
plans and purposes. Their officers and
attorneys are men of ability ami nitiu
ence, and are scattered all over the
State, always ready to do the bidding of
the corporation. In 181X5 the Louisville
and Nashville road showed its hand in
lending its active support to the Repub
licans and Carlisle crowd in carrying
the State for McKinley. That act open
ed the eyes of many Democrats who had
not theretofore felt the domination of
the railroad in State* polities. Some
quailed before the mighty power wielded
by the railroad: others took an oath that
the Democratic party should never again
eo»me under the control o’s that or any
other ruifhmd company. Above and below*
tne big row that is going oil now. hidden
in the public eye outside of the State, the
true issue is. ’Shall tin* Louisville and
Nashville railroad, which carried tin*
State for McKinley, dominate the Demo
cratic party in Kentucky ?’
“Mr. Goeliel is a State Senator. Hi*
is comparatively a new man iui politics.
i,e was a poor hoy who came up from
the bottom of the ladder. He has the
best paying law practice qf any lawyer
iu Kentucky. He was a member of the
State Senate when the hitter contest
over the Senatorship occurred when
Blackburn was defeated for re-election.
His coolness and determination (he has
killed his man and is afraid of nothing)
made Iran the real leder of the Blackburn
forces, though Broustou was the~ floor
leader. That made strong supporters of
all the Democrats in the Legislature. In
the next State Senate, when the Demo
crats were in: a large majority, he became
the legislative leader, and drafted two
bills that brought him the lasting enmity
of the L. A N. Railroad. They were:
1. The fellow servant act. which
is virtually the act of North Carolina
drawn by Mr. B. IF Lacy. Labor
Commissioner of North Carolina. 3’he
legislature passed this act but the
Republican Governor vetoed it.
2. The Railroad Commission act.
empowering the Commission to fix
rates, substantially the Georgia and
North Carolina laws.
"The L. & N. violently opposed both
these and other reform measures cham
pioned by Mr. Goebel, and used every
influence it could control to defeat his
nomination. It lookisl at one time that
he would Ik* defeated, but after a whole
week’s row Goebel won the nomination.
It >vas charged by those who supported
others that he obtained the nomination
by unfair methods. This is not true.
There were many combinations in tin*
convention and none of the candidates
had u majority of the votes. Goebel
was smarter than his opponents and
secured enough adherents from them Jo
secure tin* nomination. lie employed
the same method they sought to employ,
and if he did it more successfully they
ought not to he heard to complain. To
show that they acquiesced in the result,
the nomination was made unanimous by
tin* vote of the convention, anil when
t adjourned there was general aequics
cnce in it until —and that’s where flu*
L. A X. road comes in. They had got
ten control of the Liuisvilh* Dispatch,
the paper started by t in* silver men when
the Courier-Journal bolted the party,
and tin* Dispatch kept up its fight on
(In* ticket. 3Tit* L. A X. road circulated
thousands of the papers, L. A: X. em
ployes simultaneously began to talk of
bulling, anil to encourage tin* friends
if the defeated candidates to join in
fin* bolt. The bitterness of tin* eouven
tion left some sore places which time
wot heal, and nearly all would have
Ih*i*tii healed by this time but for tin*
systematic and organized work of tin*
L. A N. people. Today if Goebel would
promise to let tin* L. & \. name the
Railroad Commission and not to press
In* fellow servant law* the hack-hone of
the holt would la* over. The good men
,vho bolt because they think Goeliel used
juestionable means 'would Siam be con
vinced of their error, and there would
he only a few hundred or a few thotis
tnd bolters.
“GoelaTs unpopularity with tin* most
influential elements fighting him is that
the L. & X. road knows it cannot con
trol him, the hook trust knows lie is
their uncompromising foe, those telegraph
mil insurance companies that si*ek to
defy Kentucky laws, and all the trusts
are fighting Goebel because lu* chain
■lioned legislation they didn’t like. Every
reform act introduced into the Senate
by Mr. Goebel lias been approved in tin*
olatform and everybody knows that if
Mr. Goebel is elected those reforms will
be enacted. He is not a quitter. Having
put his hand to the plow to end corpo
ration rule in Kentucky, lie will not
liiit until it has been accomplished. That
explains the head and front of the holt
I<ml by the L. A* N. railroad, and the

GOVERNOR JARVIS
on the Effect
Ofthe Proposed Constitution
al Amendment Reg
ulating Suffrage.
THREE ASPECTS VIEWED
AS IT RELATES TO WHITE VO
TERS. NEGRO VOTERS AND
THE STATE S INTERESTS.
IT WILL PROMOTE PUBLIC EDUCATION
There is not a White Boy in the Stale Who Can
not Learn to Read and Write by
1908. A Blessing lo
Good Negroes,
In this discussion 1 shall assume that
tin* proposed amendment is not in conflict
with the Constitution of the United
States. It is similar to the provisions
of the Constitution of Louisiana which
has been (Kissed upon and pronounced
constitutional by some of the ablest law
HON. THOMA S J. JARVIS.
He Has Served the State as Speaker of tin* House, Governor and U. S. Senator.
yers in the United States. It was passed
by tin* a legislature composed of many
of tne ablest lawyers of tills State. The
American system of government leaves
the question of suffrage very largely with
the State, and the Supreme court of the
United States has recently affirmed and
upheld this doctrine in passing upon the
new constitution of Mississippi, which
contained provisions restricting ami reg
ulating suffrage. So notwithstanding' the
condemnation of the amendment by a few
Republican lights, who have been drag
ged from obscurity by tin* negro vote, I
shall assume the amendment tn Ik* consti
tutional, and that it is within the pro
vince of the people of North Carolina to
ratify it and make it a part of their con
stitution if they see proper to do so.
the people to determine.
The Legislature has performed its part
in preparing and passing the proposed
amendment to he voted on. It now re
mains for the people to say whether it
shall be ratified or not. If a majority
of the votes cast shall be against it that
ends it. If a .majority shall lu* for it
then it will become a part of our consti
tution'. So tin* whole question and re
sponsibility is now with the people. It
is for them to say what shall lu* done
with it. And in making up their minds
aiul arriving at their conclusions they
■have ample time to consider this great
question in all its bearings upon the fu
ture policies ami interests of their State.
Much will probably lu* written and. spok
en for anil against tin* amendment be
fore tin* day of voting comes. It will be
well for the conservative, thoughtful
people to take these arguments anil rea
sons, consider them and then vote as
they be convinced is for the I>est interest
iof themselves, their homes and their
States. If anything 1 may say in this
article shall aid any one in his consiilera
tion of this great question then it will
not have been written in vain.
In order to treat this question as plain
ly and at the same time as comprehen
sively as possible in a brief article, I
shall discuss it under tlie three follow
ing general propositions.
First. Its effect upon the State’s
White population.
Second. Its effect upon the State’s
coulred population.
Third. Its effect uppn the States
general policies and industries.
EFFECT ON WHITE MEN.
I now ask tin* read to consider the
effect of this amendment, if adopted upon
th.‘ white people of the State. And first
of all I assert it does not disfranchise a
single white voter whose name goes on
the registration books prior to January
Ist, 1l)t)8. Not one. Every white man
who is a qualified voter now will continue
to he so as long as he lives, so far as this
amendment affects his right to vote. Ev
ery young man arriving at full age be
fore January Ist. 11)08. can register and
vote if he puts his name on the regis
tration Ijooks liefore that date, and he
will continue to he a voter as long as
be lives. Then wihat class of white
men can it affect? I answer, only those
who become 21 years old after January
Ist, 111(18, and who will not learn to
read and white. I say will not because
there is not. a white boy in the State who
cannot learn to read and write if lie
will. Every hoy will under stand that to
be a voter he must be able to read and
write, and he will have a motive to
,~(dudy and learn that much, and I have
po doubt lie will do it. There is no rea
son or excuse, in this day of educational
Opportunities, for any lw>y. I care not
now poor lie may he. growing up to man
hood without being able to read and
write, [n saying this 1 am not ignorant
or unmindful of the struggles of the
poor hoys. I grew up among them and
1 have lived among them all my life.
1 know they have to work, to toil and
strive, and yet I assert they may, if they
will learn to read and write before they
are 21 years old. I also know that
many parents have been indifferent to
the education of their children, and have
failed to send their toys to school when
they might have done so. But I cannot
suppose that any father, if this amend
ment is adopted, will hereafter neglect
to send his boy to the common schools,
where lu* may learn to read and • write.
However much the father may need the
services of the hoy lie can, if he will,
spare hint from his labor long enough
to learn to read and write before he be
comes twenty-one. Father and son will
nave a motive they never had before
for the boy to go to school, ami in this I
see the day coming when it cannot In*
said, as now, that there are thousands
of white men, in North Carolina who
can neither read nor write.
TO INCREASE SCHOOL FACILI
TIES.
If the people shall say, by ratifying
this proposed amendment, that the young
men who become twenty-one years old
after January Ist, 1908, must Ik* able
to read and write in order to vote, then
it will lie the duty of the people to so im
prove and extend tin* common schools as
to bring them within the reach of every
hoy in the State. Tln«e schools belong
to tin* people, and l am sure they will
make them sufficient to fit their boys to
Income qualified voters. So 1 assert
that one of the effects of this amend
ment upon the white people will be to
give them better schools, and' to the State
a more intelligent population.
GOO I > GOVERNMENT.
Another effect upon the white popu
lation will lu* to si*cure to them good
government in State, country, city and
town, administered and controlled by in
telligent white men. Neither the negro
nor his corrupt white allies
can again dominate our local govern
ments and re-enact the scenes of strife
and riot and ruin of 18(58 and 18(59.
Good government is an; absolute essential
to the peace and prosperity of a State,
ibis is too plain to need argument. We
have scon it in in our own State. To es
tablish ami maintain it in Cuba, in Porto
Rico and Philippine Islands the Presi
dent: and Congress have called up on the
American people to pay taxes to carry
on wars and to mourn over their sons
slain in battle. The negro has demon
strated the fact that lu* cannot govern.
It is likewise true that the white man
who is dependent upon the negro for his
place and who is dominated and controll
ed by him is equally unfit to govern. The
adoption of this amendment eliminates
that class of white men as well as the
negro from prominence in political mat
ters in the State and insures to the in
telligent. worthy white men the manage
ment of public affairs. Page after page
might hi* written along these lines of
thought .but I must abandon this inviting
field for the present and hasten on to
consider our second general head, lest I
make this paper too long. This, then,
bring us to a brief discussion of
THE ... CE(TI'S OF 3TIE AME v 1

POPULATION.
Its first effect upon this race will be

A BRILLIANT MARRIAGE.
The Pastoi* of Wake Forest Baptist
Church Weds a Kentucky Belle.
The Tri-Weekly Kentucky Advocate,
published at Danville, Ky., gives an
elaborate account of a marriage that
will have an interest for many North
Carolina readers:
“Rev. J. W. Lynch, of Wake Forest,
North Carolina, and Miss Rebecca Al
dine Pope, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
George R. Pope, of Boyle county, were
married last night at nine o’clock, at
the Baptist church, by Dr. W. H. Whit
sitt, of Louisville, a personal friend of
the groom.
The popularity of Mr. Lynch and
his bride was in some measure attested
by the great number of persons who
eame to witness their wedding. It was
impossible to accommodate them and
many failed to gain admittance.
“It was a simple hut extremely pretty
ceremony, the decorations being in pink
.pul white. The bride, famous as one of
Boyle county’s mdfct beautiful young
ladies, looked prettier than ever.
“Immediately after the ceremony Mr.
and Mrs. Lynch and their attendants
went to the home of the bride, where
an elegant/ supper was served. They
took the night train for White Sulphur
Springs. West Virginia. After remain
ing there two or three weeks they will
go to other points in the East, returning
this fall to Wake Forest to remain for
the present.
“To any' that the good wishes of the
people of this community follow this
marriage would hut feebly express the
sentiments of those who know and love
both Mr. Lynch and his bonny bride.
During his pastorate here, by his intel
ligent and zealous devotion to liis church.
Ilis gentlemanly bearing toward those
with whom he came in contact, his
warm-hearted, generous nature, he won
the esteem of all, irrespective of denom
ination. and it was with sincere regret
that his friends saw him voluntarily re
tire from his work here. That he will
soon attain that eminence in his church
which his talents deserve is a matter
of common expectation. Os the young
woman whom Mr. Lynch has won, much
might lie said without suggestion of
flattery. Livable and kindly by nature,
lieautiful of person and educated iu the
gentler arts, she is generally anil justly
admired.”
