THE BLACK MAN’S SILENT POWER! Ray Stannard Baker Views Negro Disfranchisement from a New Standpoint--Shows Southerner the Error of His Way. (conrinugD rros LAST WER] ¥rom ‘Lhe Aierlan Magazine, Upon this point an able Southern writer, Prof, Edwin Mins of Trin- ity College, N. C., has said: “The inlependents in the South have to face the xame state of af fairs that tte independents in the North did in the g0’s—all the bet: ter traditiona connected with one party, and most of the reepectable people belonging to the same party, Just ax George William Curtis and his follo sere were accused of being Democrats in disguise and of being traitors to the *‘grard old party” that had -aved the Uniou and freed the elaver, and deserters toa party of Copp rheads, eo the Southern in- dependent is satd to be a Republi- can in disguise, and is tuld of the awit! crimes of the Reconatruction era, When all other arguments have fuile] there is the inevitable appeal to the threateued domination of aninferior race which is not now even 3 remote porsibility.” As a reeult of this domimation of 4 wornout iseue, political contests in the Suuth have ordinarily von- cerned themeclves not with stimu- lating public questions, but with the personal qualifications of the candidates, The South has not dared to face real problems lest the white party be eplit and the Negro voter somehow slip into intluence. A campuign was fought last year in Mississippi, Of couree the candi- dates all belong to the white party; all therefore subscribe to identical- ly the tame platform—which had been prepared by the party leaders —s0 that the only issue was the personzlity of the candidates. Let me quote from the Mississippi cor respondert of the New Orlcans TimeesDemocrat, April 29, Lv7, “The only ‘issue™ . . » ,ia the personality of the candidate bim- aelf, The voter may take speeches of each v2odidate and analize them from atart to finish, and he will fail to find where there is any dif- ference of opinion between the can- didates on any of the live questione of the day which are likely t effect Miessippi? He must, therefore, turn from the speeches to the can- didate himeelf for an ‘iasuc’ and must take hie choice of the several candidates as men, and decide which of them will do most yood to the state and be the safest man to entruet with the helm, ’ NEGRO WILDS DEMOCRATIU PARTY TOGEIMER, i am now apeaking here, of course, of the Negro as a dominant issue, the essential element which holds the Democratic party togeth» er and without whioh other policies could not be carried nor candidates elected, Vigorous divisions on other ieaues have taken place local- ly within the lines of the Demo- erstic pasty, eapecially during the Insc two or three years. The rail- road and trust questions have been promimently before the people in most of the Southern states. Dur: ing his long campaign for governor Hoke Smith talked railroads and railroad influence in politics con- stantly, butin order to be elected he raieed the Negro question and talked It vigorously, especially ix all of his county addresses. It is also highly significant that the South should have taken so strong 3 lead in the prohibition mouvement, although even this question has leen more or Jess connected with the Negro problem, the argument being that the South must forbid the liquor trattic becauee of ite in fluence on the Negro. No states inthe Union, mdeed, have been more radical in dealing with the trust question than Teazs and Ar- kansag; and Alabama, Georgia and North Carolina only last year were the scenes of some of the hottest fights in the country on the rail- road question. All this goes to ehow that, once fieed from the incubus of the Negro on Southern thought, the South would instantly become a great factor in national questions, And being almost exe clusively American im its popula- tion, with few rich men and ideala of life notyet so subservient to the dollar az those of the Noth, it would become a powerful factor in the progreesive and constructive movements of the country. The influence ot a single bold man like Tillman in the Senate has been not+ able. In the future the country has much to look for from the idealizin of Suuthern statesman, STIFLING FREE SPZECH, But the unfortunate result of the dominance ot the single idea of the Negro in politics has been to be numb the South intellectually; to stifle free thought and free speech. Let a man advance 3 new issue and if the party leaders do not favor it they have only to cry out *Negro,”” twisting the issue so as to empha- size ita Negro side (and every ques tion in the South has a Negro side) and the independent thinker iy crushed, I once talked with the editor of a newspaper in the South who saidto me, ‘Such and such is my belief.” “But, Lead, “you take just the opposite position in your pa: per." *Yes—butI cant talk out; it would hill my businese.” This timorousness has touched not only politics, but has reached the schools and the churches--and stil! shackles the frecst speech. (teorge W. Cable, the novelist, was practically force to leave the South because he advocated the ‘vontin- ual and diligent elevation of that lower man which human society 8 constantly precipitating,” be~ cause he advocated justice for the Negro, Prof. Andrew Slade was com- pelled to resign from Emory Col- lege in Georgia because he publish» ed an article in the Atlanta Month- ly taking a point of view not sup. ported by the majority in Southern sentiment! Prof, John Spencer Bassett was eaved from a forced resignation from Trinity College in North Carolia for a similsr of. 08TU OF SENSICES weanhs eee 2edee ity with the repu‘ation of bein, one of the freest instizutions in thi S uth. | The situativn in the South ba made people afraid of the truth Political oratory, particularly, of. ten get away entirely from th wholesome ard regenerative world of actual facts, I quoted tas month from a speech of Governor Swanson of Virginia, in which he said: *The business louse and financial iuestitutions are in the ‘hands of intelligent Angl-Saxone, and with God's help and our own good right hand we will hold him (:he negro) where he is.” NEGRKO'S PROGRESS IN RICHMOND. What a curious thing oratory is! Right in Governor Swanson’s own city of Richmond there are four banks owned and operated by Ne- groes; one of the Negro bankers sat in the convention to which Gov- ernor Swanson was at that moment rpeaking. There ie a Negro in- surance company, “The True Re- formers,” in which I saw cighty Negro clerks and stenograpbers at work. It hag a suiplus of ¥300,000 with a bueineas in thirty estates. Negroes also own and operate in Richmond four clothing stores, gve drug stores, many grocery stores (nome very small of couse), two hotels, four livery stables, five printing establishments, eight fra- ternal insurance companics, seven meat markets, fifty catiny-places, aud many other eoits of business cuterpriges, emall, of course, but growing rapidly, In Richmond also, there are ten Negro lawyers, fifteen physiciane, three dentivte, Lwo photographers, eighty-five school teachers, fortysi. Negro chuickes. | SOUTHERNSR> WHO SEE THE DANGER, When I make the agcertion re garding ‘free speech” and the fear of truth in the South, Lam making yo atatement wh.ch has not been far more forcibly put by thoughts ful and fearless Southerners who see and dread this sinister tendency, The Jate Chancellor Hill, of the University of Georgia, spoke of the ‘deadly paralysis of intellect sausel by the enforced uniformity of thought withiu the lines of one varty.” He said: “Before the war the South was 0 opposition to the rest of civili- ‘ation on the question of slavery. it defended ita: If: ita thinking, its volitical science, even ite religion vas not directed toward a search for truth, but it was concentrated on the defenne of a civil and politi sal order of things. ‘hese condi» ions made impossible a vigorous ntellectual life.” William Preston Few, dean of Trinity College, North Carolina, stites (South Atlantic Quarterly, January, 1905): This prevalent Iack ot first-hand inking and of courage to speak ut haw brought about an unfortu- aste xcarcity of plain intellectual honesty.” An excellent wlustration of this condition grew out of the states rr en | Upon hearing of this remark Sena: |tor Bailey of Texas angrily resign: {ed from ,the alumni committee of the University, Chancellor Mill said, concerning the invident: “The question whether Dr, Al- derinan was right or wroug becomes insignificant beside the larger ques tion whether Senator Bailey was right or wrong in his method of dealing witha difference of opin- ion, And this leads to the ques: tion: Have we freedom of opinion in the South? Must every man who thinks above a whieper do so atthe peril of bis reputation and his jutluence, or at the deadlier risk of having an injury intlicted ups on the institution which he repre: sente?" In giving so much space to the words and position of Vardaman, Tillman, Hoke Smith, and others, Ihave not yet sufficiently empha- ‘eized the work and influence of the thoughtful and constructive mea of the South. Butit must be Lorne in mind that 1 am writing of poli+ tice, of majorities; and politicians ofthe Tillman type are still the political forces in the South, They are in control they are elected. Yet there is the growing class of new statesmen whore work I shall recount nevt month, WHTTRS DISTRANCHISED AS WELL AS BLAChS. But the Jimitation intellectual freedom has not been the only re- sult of the political dominance of the Negro issue. It is curious to observe that when one class of nien in any society ia forced down ward politically, another is forced up: for go mankind keeps its bal- ance and averages, A significant phase of the movement in the South to climinate the Negru is the sure return to government by a white aristocracy. For disfranchisement of the Negro has also served to dis- franchise a very large proportion of the white people as well, In every Southern State where Negro disfranchisement has been forced, the white vote alee hay been stead- ily dwindling. To-day in Alaba- ma not half the white males of yot- ing age are qualitied voters, In Missisaippi the proportion 1s still], lower, In the last presidential election the state of Missiasippi was carried by Parker with a total vote of only! 58,U93, out of a total of 31,177], citizens (both white and colored) of voting age. Only one-third of} the white men voted, It has been found, indeed, in several countics|: in Missiawtppi, that while the num-}, ber of white eligibles has been de. |: sYeasing, the number of Negroes on the registration lista has been increasing, In the city of Jackson, Mississippi, last year, 1,200 voters were registered out af 3 population of 3z,00U people, : To show the dwindling process, take, the single county of Tallas poosain Alabama. The last cen- sus shows 1,203 whites and 2,056 blacks of voting age, 6,259 in all. After the adontion of the new con. primarily to the fact that there 1s no vital party division on new is. sucs in the South; but it 1s also due to the franchise teats, which, having been made severe to keep the Negro out, operate also to dias franchise hundrede of thousands of poor and ignorant white men. I spent much time talking with white workinginen, both in the cities and iu the county, I asked them why so many workingmen and farmera did not vote, Here is,one compro= hensive reply of a labor leader: ‘What's the use¥ We have to pay two dollara a year poll-tax, aud pay it neatly a year before election. Aud why votvY ‘There are no real issues at stake. An election is nierely a personal quarrel im the clique of men who control the Democratic party. Why should we pay two dollars a year and go to the bother of satisfying the per: sonal ambition of some man we are not interested in? PhO BL CONTINGL DY MR. CHAPMAN A WINNER! He is Popular With all Classes and Will Be the Next Register of Deeds for Wyan- dotte County. Lou H Chapman, candidate for tegitter of dvede, Wyandotte county, is in everyway way worthy aug well quabtiel for the place. He was b rain Hartfor', Cona, in 13873 and came to Kansas in in 1877, Mri Chapman is a graduata of Palmos academy, 2 private institution, He is honest upright and honorable ia all his dealings and is one of the really bright men of Wyandotte county.

Hence the party owes him another chance. His op- ponent, Mr, Stockton, was defeated furclerk of the district courcin 1906, and is now asking for the nom: ination for register of deeis. Mr, Chapman’s friends think it right and jnet that he withdraw and run for the office he sought two years ago as Mr, Chapman is doing.

While the so-called much raker has unquestionably done a good service in opening the eyes of the public, his service reached its useful limit some time ago. The day of the upbuilder and constructionist has arrived. The days of the commission have passed. In spite of the fact that many roads have recently gone into the hands of receivers—our own Western Maryland included—there has been introduced in our legislature a two-cent passenger rate bill. Even now some states, which placed this law upon their statutes two years ago, are seriously considering its repeal, considering it unreasonable and unwise. The Merchants and Manufacturers put itself on record March 3d, when its Transportation Committee adopted the following resolution: school. 八 Many of the young men who have finished the course in agriculture at the Tuskegee Institute are commanding salaries ranging from $30 to $100 per month. Graduates of this department of the school are successfully employed as instructors, or as managers of important agricultural operations. The school has an agricultural faculty of twenty instructors; men who have received their training in the best agricultural schools of the country. Young colored men and women who desire to take courses in practical and scientific agriculture are now offered the best opportunity to pursue such courses in one of the largest and best equipped schools for practical and scientific agriculture to be found in the South. The following courses are offered: In addition there is a special post graduate course of one or two years provided for graduates of high schools and colleges. We are especially anxious to have a large number of agricultural students who have finished high school or college courses. Any young man who is ambitious enough to finish any of the courses above mentioned can readily secure immediate employment at good salaries. Opportunities are now open to 500 young men and women who may wish to take any of the above courses of instruction. The cost of board is $950 per month. No charge for instruction.

Did you ever notice that the fellow who claims the Negro's future lies in foreign lands sticks closer to America than anyone else? Bishop Turner advocated the doctrine, but never got out from under the smoke of Atlanta until chased from his peaceful abode by a mob of white hoodlums. Our own Col. John M. is preaching the same doctrine. Col. Brown can picture the glories of Brizil and other countries so vividly that one wants to leave at once. But the Colonel is comfortably fortified on one of the best farms in Shawnea county where he is rolling in plenty and amassing a fortune. Our advice to the Negro is follow the footsteps of Col. Brown who will always live in Kansas, own a good slice of land and have a good, healthy bank account. When the genial Colonel reaches the most vivid climax in discussing the deportation of the Negro he has just cashed a load of produce and added $50 or $60 to his rapidly swelling bank account. Negroes! follow this excellent example and there will be no problem to cuss and discuss. ILLINOIS has a law prohibiting persons from teaching in the public schools after reaching the age of fifty. At this period it is claimed the mind is going back. The colored people of North Topeka entered this same complaint against Sol. Watkins, but the matter was held up by while bosses who cater tho a few Negroes for political purposes. The hardworking fathers and mthers will not longer submit to a thing of this kind. The patrons of M'Kinley school charge that Watkins is not only too old, but has become peevish on account of ill health. : It is said that the uprising of the Snake Indians in Oklahoma is being spurred on by Negro halfbloods. Any state with such damnable laws as Oklahoma may as well expect trouble as long as such laws exist. then the rights of men are encroached upon as are the Negro's in Oklahoma, the provocation is sufficient to drive him to fight. ```markdown ``` --- Huci. petitions presented for the pardon of a Springfield, Mo., Negro in the penitentiary four years for rape on a young white woman there. She confesses now that she was more to blame than he was. At least two such cases over in Kansas City the past few years, only the women haven't "'fessed up'" yet.—K. C. (Kas.) Gazette. ONE good thing for the supreme court is the closing of the theatres on Sunday. THE celebration season is on in full blast, and the fact that a presidential campaign is on tap it enthuses more "patriots" to enlist in the work of doing honor to the friends of abolition. Poor Negro, he will be enslaved and emancipated every day from now till January 1, 1909. THE improvident colored man is slowly but surely drifting into a thing of the past. He burned up but very little money in fireworks on the Fourth. TONGANQNIE Key. R. January and Mrs. Jackson have returned from Kansas City,where they attended the state meetings of the B. Y. P.U. and Sunday School convention. W. L. Bush,ot Lawrence, was the guest of Rev. Lackford last week. H. J. Brockman and wife and Miss H. Owsley visited relatives and friends last week. Mrs. C.

The entertainment at the First Baptist church was well attended and Mrs E. Roffle deserves much credit for her good work as chairman of the committee. Quite a number of the young people celebrated the Fourth in Leavenworth. Mrs. E. Brown who was in jured sometime ago by a fall is rapidly improving. The services at the First Baptist church are very well attended, yet there is room for improvement there being a number of old and young who do not attend church as they should. Wm Wooll has purchased a nice bunch of hogs which is a splendid investment. Let other young men follow his example. Miss Alice Woods is an ideal young woman full of business. She too has ventured into the hog business. ATCHISON NOTES. The rubber social at the A. M. E. church Tuesday evening was quite a success.

One boy who was bright enough to look after the matter, cashed in his cards at $2 73 each. Through the negligence or oversight of some people who might have taken his place in the dividends they neglected and lost that excellent opportunity. Every 48-lb sack of flour contains a card. Each of these cards is worth five cents in the purchase from the Topeka Milling Co. of one Universal Bread Kneader. There is another way these cards can be used. Ask your grocer about it and if he cannot give you the information, ask the Topeka Milling Co. to explain it to you. A contest is now on which expires November 30th.
