Show DAILY UTAH STATE JOURNAL OGDEN, UTAH. FRANK J. CANNON. EDITOR. UTAH " THE MODERN FRIDAY, JANUARY 22, STATE JOURNAL, As was to have been expected, the inaugural address of Governor James K. Vaudaman of Mississippi has called forth a great deal of comment, only a limited percentage of which is friendly. That of the Republican press, however, is especially noticeable in that the subject is not criticised or condemned from a scientific or sociological standpoint, but from that of practical politics. After so many years of experience with the negro problem in the South so man7, indeed, that the problem has become divested of its occult qualities and become a matter of plain a, b, c something more lofty and further advanced than the gain or loss in a partisan sense which the proposition contains might have been looked for, but with a presidential election at hand was hardly to be hoped for. If the governor has read a tithe of the harsh things said of him anent his already famous speech, he must by this time realize how great a flame a little match can kindle. Those who have gone over the telegraphed synopsis and are not jaundiced in a political sense, will have little trouble in discerning that the Mississippi executive treats or tries to treat the subject tentatively and philosophically, his remarks savoring somewhat of the style and standard of a magazine article. But cui bono f The Republican party is sorely in need of campaign fodder and for several months ahead all is fish that comes to its net ; hence, a dissertation by a Democrat, discussing a great question abstractly or concretely, becomes all at once his partys declaration. We should aim at fairness, even in politics, whether we hit it or not. In looking over Governor Vaudaman's address, so far as reported, there seems to be almost anything but what might fitly be characterized as rabid " utterances, though some of our Republican contemporaries insist upon it that the whole document is rabid. He offers in support of his conclusions a considerable array of facts and statistics, which those who are disposed sot to agree with him are quite at liberty to make the foundation for other conclusions than his, but, 'being as it appears dispassionately drawn and logically presented, should disarm the rancor of the political paragrapher and cause him to be just if he cannot be generous. The question is too remote from Utah to make it one of pressing momeut here, practically considered ; still it is of great interest in a general sense, being one that must be settled in some way and requiring something more thau disputation and perhaps even more than legislation to settle it. The two races, as has abundantly been shown, cannot commingle in a community sense upon terms of equality, no matter as to preponderance in numbers. The Southerners have already practically settled the case in favor of the Caucasian, giving him predominance, without reference to the individual merits of particular cases or the finer points of the controversy. It is as idle to say that the provisions of the Fifteenth Amendment have been rendered nugatory, that its spirit is dead and its purpose has been dissipated into thin air, as it is to say that laws can be made operative in states whose people are unanimously opposed to them. Let it be remembered that said amendment was forced to ratification, not by the consent of the people who were chiefly to be affected by it but against their will and in spite of their solemn protest ; also that they were wholly disfranchised at the time, that their respective states were out of the Union and not even with their consent could approval of the amendment legally have been given. Add to all this the fact that, the doctoring to which the Constitution was subjected immediately after the Civil War was not so much for the securing of equal rights as to make the ascendancy of the organization responsible for the doctoring secure for many years then to come, and we can all find the reason for, even if we cannot concede the complete justice of, the extreme views entertained and occasionally expressed by the prominent men of the sunny Southland, especially when such views are those which antagonists must admit, though it be reluctantly, are those which cannot be successfully controverted as matters of fact. ) 1 MARTYR.

Every Sunday he preaches a sermon inveighing against one of his own besetting sins, and throughout the following week overcomes with almost incredible fortitude the temptation to practice what he preaches. Thus last Sunday he poured forth a flood of eloquence against hypocrisy. How easy would it have been to choose for a subject the weakness of other men ! But no ! he sternly selected an infirmity which he recognized as peculiarly his own. How easy would it have been, after selecting this infirmity, to excuse its existence through heredity or early environment ! But no ! he scorned such extenuation and let the full weight fall upon his own sin. How easv would it have been even then to renounce that sin and so disarm himself from ! But that would further have been defeating his penitential purposes. So he contiuues to immolate himself upon the as an awful object-lesso- n high altar of of all that he most poignantly condemns. Surely in future ages the name of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., will lead the glorious roll of men who have cheerfully suffered agony for the moral uplifting of their fellowmen. self-excoriati- on self-sacrifi- ce : THE LINE COVERS EVERY.
