Education Winning Suffrage for Negro Ray Stannard Baker Says Proper Training Will Bring Recognition of Rights of Colored Men in the White South----Says Matter is Greatly Overestimated. Fifteenth Year. No. 5). Christmas Shop Education W Suffra Ray Stannard Baker Say Bring Recognition of Men in the White is Greatly Ow From the Christian Science Monitor. What the Negro has achieved in 50 years of freedom is set forth by a score of writers in the annual of the American Academy of Political and Social Science just published. One of the most important of the articles is by Ray Stannard Baker, who has contributed articles on civics to the magazines, and deals with "Problems of Citizenship." After discussing various limitations which restrict suffrage in the United States, particularly as applied to the Negro, the writer lays down the following general proposition: "Nowhere in the South today is the Negro cut off legally, as a Negro, from the ballot. Legally, any Negro who can meet the comparatively slight requirements as to education, or property, or both, can cast his ballot as a basis of equality with the white man. I have emphasized the word legally, but I know the practical difficulties, which confront the Negro voter in many parts of the South. In the enforcement of the law, the legal ideal is still pegged out far beyond the actual performance. "Now, then, if we are interested in the problem of democracy, we have two courses open to us. We may think the laws are unjust to the Negro and incide tully to the poor white man as well. If we do we have a perfect right to agitate for a change, and we can do much to disclose, without heat, the actual facts regarding the complicated and vexatious legislative situation in the South, as regards the suffrage. Every change in the legislation upon this subject shows, indeed, be jealously watched that the principle of political equality between the races be no, legally curtailed. The doctrine laid down in the tenth amendment must, at any hazard, but maintained. "At personally, and I am here voicing a profound conviction, I think our emphasis at present should be land upon the practical advice than upon the legal aspect of the problem. I think we should take advantage of the widely prevalent feeling in the South that the question of suffrage has been settled, legally, for some time to come; of the desire on that part of many Southern people, both white and colored, to turn aside from the discussion of the political status of its Negro. In short, let us for the time being accept the laws as they are, and build upward from that point. Let us turn our attention to the practical task of finding out why it is that the laws we already have are not enforced, and how best to secure an honest vote for every Negro and equally for every 'poor white' man (and there are thousands of him) who is able to meet the requirements, but who for one reason or another does not or cannot exercise his rights. "Taking up this side of the question we shall discover two entirely distinct difficulties: "First, we shall find many Negroes, and indeed hundreds of thousands of white men as well, who might vote, but who through ignorance, or the maturity or unwillingness to pay poll taxes, or from mere lack of interest, disfranchise themselves. "The second difficulty is peculiar to the Negro. It consists in open or concealed intimidation on the part of of the white men who control the election machinery. In many places in the South today no Negro, no matter how well qualified, would dare present himself for registration. When he does he is often rejected for some tital or illegal reason. "Thus we have to meet a vast amount of apathy and ignorance and poverty on the one hand, and the threat of intimidation on the other. "Shall we meet this situation by force? What force is available? Shall the North go down and fight the South? But the North today has feeling but friendly for the South. More than that, and it's it. with all seriousness, we use it repre- sent what I have heard wherever I have gone in the North to make inquiries regarding the Negro, the North, strongly or rightly, today is more than half convinced that the South is right in imposing some measure of limitation upon the franchise. There is now, in short, no disposition anywhere in the North to interfere in the internal affairs of the South—not even with the force of public opinion. "Accepting the laws as they are, then, there are two methods of procedure, neither sensational nor exciting. The underlying causes of the trouble in the country being plainly ignorance and prejudice, we must meet ignorance and prejudice with their antedotes—education and association. "Every effort should be made to Every effort should be made to extend free education both among Negroes and white people. A great extension of education is now going forward in the Suth. The Negro is not by any means getting his full share (indeed he is getting shamefully less than his share), but as certainly as sunshine makes things grow, education in the South will produce tolerance. That there is already such a growing tolerance no one who has talked with the leading white men of the South can doubt. The old firecating, Negro-hating leader of the Tillman-Vardaman type are passing away: a far better and broader group is coming into power. "In his last book Edgar Gardner Murphy of Alabama expresses this new point of view when he says: 'There is no question here as to the unrestricted admission (to the ballot) of the great masses of our tiger nation and sent-ignorant blacks. I know no advocate of such an admission. But the question is as to whether the individual, of the race, upon conditions of restriction legally imposed and fairly administered, shall be admitted to an adequate and increasing representation in the electorate. And as that question is more seriously and more generally considered many of the leading publicists of the South, I am glad to say, are quietly resolved that the answer shall be in the affirmative." "I from an able Southern white man, a resident of New Orleans, I received only recently a letter containing these words: "I believe we have reached the bottom, and a sort of quiescent period I think it most likely that from now on there will be a gradual increase in the Negro vote. And I honestly believe that the less said about it, the surer the increase will be." "Education, and by education I mean education of all sorts, industrial, professional, classical, in accordance with each man's talents, will not only produce breadth and tolerance, but it will help to cure the apathy which now keeps so many thousands of both white men and Negroes from the polls—for it will show them that it is necessary for every man to exercise all the political rights within his reach. For if he fails voluntarily to take advantage of the rights he already has, how shall he be rewarded rightly." "As ignorance must be met by education, so prejudice must be met with its antidote, which is association. Democracy does not consist in mere voting, but in association, the spirit of common effort, of which the ballot is a visible expression. When we come to know one another we soon find that the points of likeness are much more numerous than the points of difference. And this human association for the common good, which is democracy, is difficult to bring about anywhere, whether among different classes of white people, or between white people and Negroes. "After the Atlanta riot I attended a number of conferences between leading calvinists. It is true these TOPEKA, KANSAS, FRIDAY MORNING DECEMBER 12, 1913. meetings bore evidence of awkwardness and embarrassment, for they were among the first of that sort to take place in the South, but they were none the less valuable. A white man told me after all of these meetings: 'I did not know there were any such sensible Negroes in the South.' And a Negro told me that it was the first time in his life that he had ever heard a Southern white man reason in a friendly manner with a Negro concerning their common difficulties. "More and more these associations of white and colored men, at certain points of contact, must and will come about. Already in connection with various educational and business projects in the South, white men and colored men meet on common grounds, and the way has been opened to a wider mutual understanding. And it is common enough now, where it was unheard of a few years ago, for both white men and Negroes to speak from the same platform in the South. I have attended a number of such meetings. Thus slowly, awkwardly at first—for two centuries of prejudice are not easily overcome—the white man and the Negro are coming to know each other, not as master and servant, but as co-workers. These things are forced. "One reason why the white man and the Negro have not got together more rapidly in the South than they have, is because they have tried always to meet at the secret points. When sensible people who must live together whether or not find that there are points at which they cannot agree, it is the part of wisdom to avoid those points, and meet upon other common interests. Upon no other terms, indeed, can a democracy exist, for in no imaginable future state will individuals cease to disagree with one another upon something less than half of all the problems of life. "Here we all live together in a great country,' say the apostles of this view, 'let us all get together and develop it. let the Negro do his best to educate himself, to own his own land, and to buy and sell with the white people in the fairest possible way." "Now, buying and selling, land ownership and common material pursuits may not be the highest points of contact between man and man, but they are real points, and they help to give man an id a of the worth of their fellow, white or black. How many times, in the South, I have heard a white man speak in high admiation of some Negro blacksmith who was a worthy citizen, of some Negro doctor who was a lead t of his late. "It is curious once a man (any man, white or black) learns to do his job well how he finds himself in a democratic relationship with other men. I remember asking a prominent white citizen of a town in central Georgia if he knew anything about Tu-sukegee. He said: "Yes; I had rather a curious experience last fall. I was building a hotel and couldn't get anyone to do the plastering as I wanted it done. One day I saw two Negro plasterers at work in a new house that a friend of mine was building. I watched them for an hour. They seemed to know their trade. I invited them to come over and see me. They came, took the contract for my work, hired a white man to carry mortar for $1 a day, and when they had got through it was the best job of plastering in town. I found that they had learned their trade at Tuskegee. They average $1 a day each in wages. We tried to get them to locate in our town, but they went back to school." "Out of such crude points of contact will grow an even finer and finer spirit of association and of common and friendly knowledge. And that will lead inevitably to an extension upon the soundest possible basis of Negro franchise. I know cases where white men have urged intelligent Negroes to cast them ballots, and have stood sponsor for them out of genuine respect. Today, Negroes who vote in the South are, as a class, men of substance and intelligence, fully equal to the task of citizenship. "Thus I have confidence not only in the sense of the white man in the South but in the innate capability of the Negro—and that once these two really come to know each other, not at more points of contact, nor as mere master and servant, but as workers for a common country, the question of suffrage will gradually solve itself in the interest of true democracy. "Another influence also will tend to change the status of the Negro as a voter. That is the pending break-up of the political solidarity of the South. All these signs point to a political realignment upon new issues in this country, both South and North. Old party names may even pass away. And that break-up, with the attending struggle for votes, is certain to bring into politics thousands of Negroes and white men now disfranchised. The result of a real division on live issues has been shown in many local contexts in the South, as in the fight against the saloons, when every qualified Negro voter, and every Negro who could qualify, was eagerly pushed forward by one side or the other. "With such a division on new issues the Negro will tend to exercise more and more political power, dividing not on the color line, but in the principles at stake. Still another influence which is helping to solve the problem is the wider diffusion of Negroes throughout the country. The proportion of Negroes to the whites in most of the Southern states is decreasing, thereby relieving the fear of Negro domination, whereas Negroes are increasing largely in Northern communities, where they take their place in politics not as an indigestible mass, but divide along party lines even more readily than some of the foreign-American groups in our population. A study of the Negro vote in November, 1912, would show that many Negroes broke their historic allegiance with the Republican party and voted for Roosevelt, while some even cast their votes for Wilson; and in local elections the division is still anote marked. "Thug in spite of the difficulties which now confront the Negro, I cannot help looking upon the situation with a spirit of optimism. I think sometimes we are tempted to set a higher value upon the ritual of the belief than upon the spirit which underbeat it. The ballot is not democracy; it is merely the symbol of ritual of democracy, and it may be full of passionate social significance, or it may be a mere empty and dangerous formalism. What we should look to, then, primarily, is not the shadow, but the substance of democracy in this country. Not must we look for results to swiftly; our progress toward democracy is slow of growth and needs to be cultivated with patience and watered with faith." GRAND LAKE, ARKANSAS. some conditions as they are here. This is a little village about 127-1-2 miles South of Helena, Ark., and 12 miles from a railroad station, on the Mississippi river. There was a day when the Negroes controlled this city county, so far as voting was concerned. There are today in this county, about 25 Negroes, to one white man, but 1 spite of all this, number of Negroes we were made to see one and thing about the great mass of black people. Remember, that 220 years of slavery has made the Negro in this part of the country see the white man as his superior, even until today. This is bad but true, there are young men and women, dominated since 1868 who really believe what the white man says is law itself, whether it is right or wrong. His condition along the line of education. But I wish to say here I the very fact of some of the most disgraceful conditions, some of the Negro, are coming. In this place they have 1 month schools, except it is where some of the people send their children off to school conducted by the white people of the North and there are 95 per cent of the children in this country who never got above what they call the fourth reader, which is practically the third grade, in a regular graded school. As to their work, a number of the men and women have received some special favor because of their parents before them and have managed to get hold of some small farms by paying about 1.33 more than the land is worth, while on the other hand 99 per cent of the Negroes are slaves, but under the disguise of freedom, and it is true, they work the big land owners land year after year, for just what they can eat and wear, and that is all they get. At the end of each year when they go up to make the settlement, they are told, well you came near paying out this year, if you will save a little more, you will come out next year. The men who are employed as professional laborers are given 1-3 less than their labor is worth. The common laborer is employed and paid about 1-2 of what his work is worth and by that way this man is kept on the same back with the farmer. The man who farms the land owned by these Land Lords, must sell them cotton to the Land Land at his price or move off his farm, no matter how much he can get from other buyers. The Negroes are compelled to pay high prices for everything they get and have no right to question if it is not too high. The morals of the Negro here are at a very low ebb with the young women, and there is a cause for this, the young woman of our race here have no protection thrown around them, their parents have not the money to care for them and they are thrown on the world to make their way as best they can. Protection of the law. They are victims of defenseless, by law or the public conscience. They are lured away by low and smooth white men, taking advantage of the helpless condition of these poor girls, and lead them to the dogs. And the young men of the race say there are no good women, and the they stoop to do anything but right. It is a shame to think of this condition in this part of the country. The white man of this country is talking about the Negro's moral, but I want to say, it is not the Negro, it's the white man who will leave the bed of his Negro madam and ride 15 miles to touch a Negro. I am only telling things as they exist in Checot County. There is not another race on earth that would stand for the treatment that the Negro stands for, they would drink then own hearts blood. You say, "Where are the leaders?" Well they have only one class of men who are leaders and they are the preachers and they cannot lift up their voices because they are too cowardly and ignorant. They fear that if they are made to leave there they will have nothing to do, because no other people would sit and let him butcher the Bible up over them as he does. Second, if they pay too much about the white man they must leave on attend a neck tie party. I shall give more important facts of Mississippi, Arkansas, and Tennessee in my next letter.

From Spain comes the report of a Spanard who grew four crops of potatoes on the same land in twelve months. The potato were grown under ordinary conditions, and the ground was fertilized with horse manure. First crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Aug 22 and dug Nov 4, 1911 fair size, firm and good quality; second crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Nov. 9, 1911, and dug Feb 19, 1912 fair size and very good quality; third crop, Scotch seed potatoes, planted Feb 21 and dug May 10, 1912 large size and much better than those of preceding crops; fourth crop, Spanish seed potatoes, planted May 23 and dug Aug. 19, 1912 poor yield and potato small. The grower attributes the poor quality of the last crop to inferior seed, lack of water for irrigation and to several very hot winds that prevailed in July; but, as in other years, the crop of this crop period has been a good one, the low yield of 1912 does not detract from the feasibility of the plan - itural New Yorker. FOES OF THE ROSEBUD. Get After the Fly and the Slug if You Want to Save Your Flowers. To destroy the green fly, culminates of which congregate on the young growth of the weedshades and suck the juices of the plant, and other insect pests we spray the bushes with tobacco dust after, wetting them so the dust will adhere. We have also found fresh white hectitehore dusted on the bushes, a very good remedy. A after can be made by punching the cover of a baking powder can full of small holes and using the can in the same manner as a salt or pepper stinker The rose slug, a light green worm that eats the leaves, may be controlled by applying white oil soap, one-half pound dissolved in four gallons of water. The rose bug, a hard shell boote that eats the leaves and blossoms and greatly damages the roses, is bent controlled by hand picking or knocking off on a sheet in the early morning. Rosebuds can be kept quite free of insects, however, by literally and frequently sprinkling with tobacco dust.—Rural life Keep the Calves "Coming."

Hand spraying is more expensive than power spraying. The cost varies much in different cases, depending on the, efficiency of labor, convenience and other essentials, and much depends on the application used.

Farm and Garden DOES SHELTER PAY? Reckoning the Cost of Keeping Farm Machinery Under Cover. A correspondent of the Kannan Farmer says that paper places undue importance upon the necessity of sheltering farm implements and that the cost of lumber and interest on the investment in a machinery aided is greater than the depreciation on implements as a result of exposure. The paper replies: The average (10) acre farm is regarded as saving $1,000 invested in farm machinery, including wagons and buggies. It is our judgment that the average Kansas farm has neater $1,500 invested. We are confident that the depreciation on farm equipment when exposed to the storms is not less than 10 per cent per year. We are inclined to the belief that it is 20 per cent per year. We know that a 20 per cent depreciation will apply to at least a part of the equipment "The more equipment exposed to the weather the larger the depreciation in dollars and cents. One hundred dollars will erect a first class machinery shed. If $100 is not available $50 will erect a shed sufficiently large to house in a very satisfactory manner $1,000 to $1,500 worth of machinery. The $50 shed will be smaller than the $100 shed, and its use will require some piling lip of machinery. "This, however, can be done with no cash outlay and with little outlay of time and labor. If the depreciation on the shed itself is 5 per cent per year and the interest on the investment is 8 or 6 per cent per year there is still a considerable amount in favor of saving the 10 per cent or minimum depreciation on the machinery. "It does not seem possible that a wide awake farmer would argue against the advantages of good machinery care, even though it be impossible for him to provide a machine shed." FLOUR BARREL COOP. Cheaply Made and Provides Plenty of Room For the Chickens. Flour barrels make excellent coops, roomy and cheap, says Farm and Fireside, from which this article and illustration are taken. A little frame is made for the front, consisting of four pieces of board, the uprights 6 by 24 inches, and two cross-pieces, top and bottom, 2 by 20 inches. Fasten frame to front of barrel by wire, leaving opening for door. ```markdown ``` Fasten it so that a slide door eight inches wide can be easily dropped in from the top. This door is made of one half mesh cellar window wire, nailed FLOUR BARREL. This door is made on one half inch mesh cellular window wire, unlined or stapled to strips of wood. This gives good ventilation and is absolutely vermin proof. Cover barrel with old tin roofing or spouting, so as to make it rain proof and prevent the sun from warping it. Of course a coat of paint will add to its attractiveness, but it is not necessary for practical purposes. Runs of any size made of wire netting can be attached to the barrel, and with netting over the top of runs the chicks are safe from crowds or the annoyance of grown chickens. Barrels and runs can be easily moved to fresh ground. The runs are made substantial by the addition of a few stakes driven into the ground to support the wire netting. CROPS AND CRITTERS.
