Seattle Republican

SEATTLE REPUBLICAN Historical Society TALES OF THE TOWN VOL. IX., NO. 41 The citizens are delighted to have the information that President Roosevelt will visit Seattle the latter part of May and will spend the greater part of two days in this city and its suburbs. Already a committee appointed by the mayor and a committee selected by those present at a mass meeting held in the Chamber of Commerce rooms last Monday—both committees being headed by Hon. W. E. Humphrey, M. C.—are making ready to receive their distinguished guests. The citizens desire to entertain President Roosevelt in a manner that will thoroughly reflect their opinion of the man aside from his honored official position, and to that end nothing will be left undone in perfecting the plans for his entertainment in order to express that feeling both by action and words. No man since Lincoln occupied the presidential chair is more universally loved than Roosevelt, and Seattle is one of those communities that admire him and his manly manner to the fullest extent. Mr. Humphrey is already in communication with Senator Foster and the President's private secretary to learn all of the details concerning his visit to the Northwest, and will report at a subsequent meeting the plans for his entertainment. Cut Mayor Humes Out. It perhaps is unprecedented in the history of this country that a man against whom a grand jury has returned an indictment for malfeasance in office and the charge still legally hanging over his head, has been permitted to act on a reception committee to receive so high an official as the president of the United States. Mayor Humes, against whom the grand jury has returned an indictment for malfeasance in office, has been selected as a member of the committee of prominent citizens of Seattle to entertain the president during his stay in Seattle. Malfeasance in office is one particular crime that seems more objectionable to President Roosevelt than any other, and yet he is to be entertained by a man who is charged with such a crime. It matters not whether Mayor Humes is or is not guilty, he is charged with the crime and until he has been either exonerated by the courts or the grand jury recedes from its former votes, he should be excused from participating on the reception committee to entertain the Nation's Chief Executive. There certainly are men enough in this city, and in other cities, for that matter, against whom not a scintilla of scandal has ever been breathed, to receive the president of the United States without the aid or assistance of a man against whom the grand jury, after months of investigation, returned an indictment in open court and declared him culpably guilty of high crimes and misdemeanor. It is due the community, it is due the city of Seattle, it is due the chief executive of the nation, that Mr. Humes take no part on the committee which is to receive President Roosevelt next May. If men of questionable character are the ones to take the front in such matters it does seem that the moral tendency of the nation is downward instead of upward. Hot Springs Hot Stuff. It was noted in the personal columns of The Republican last week that Hon. W. R. Gay had returned from Hot Springs, Arkansas, whither he went weeks ago for his health. "Let me say to you," said Mr. Gay one day this week, "that Hot Springs is made up of more fakirs and blood suckers than any other town in the world. I almost feel that I could write a history about that town that would make ones hair stand on their heads. Visitors are faked and fleeced at every point and place they touch in SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1903 the city and I cannot see why so many persons go there when all of them, especially from the North, are overcharged and skinned from the time they set foot in the town until they leave. Talk about your hot members and your Seattle skin games, but Hot Springs will give her cards and spades and then beat her out." Foreman Pigott Selfish. H. C. Pigott, foreman of the grand jury, has wilfully and deliberately left the work that he has begun and has gone to San Francisco to look after his private affairs. Nothing is more like the man than this. He is thoroughly selfish. A man who prays, "God bless me and my wife, my son John and his wife, us four and no more." That's his history in business. That's his history in everything in which he has been engaged. If he has done anything toward ferreting out crime, among those who know him best it is believed he did it for selfish motives or to play even with an opponent. Whether Mr. Pigott had an ulterior motive for leaving at this time, when the work of the grand jury was at such a momentous and critical period, is hard to say, but such would seem to be the fact. Private business may have called him away, but private business should not interfere with public business, and as foreman of the grand jury he was a public servant and it was his duty to proceed with his work and allow his private business to lay over until such a time as it would be convenient for him to look after it. Bullets Flying in the Air. It is very generally believed that every time colored crap shooters get into a scrap that razors fly in the air. Razors may have been flying in the air at the Washington street club scrap the other night, but it is surmised that if they were they were in the pockets of those who were themselves flying in the air in the hope of escaping the fusilade of hot shots that were flying promiscuously in the air, Breeches being the man behind the gun. After the smoke of battle had cleared away Tom Johnsing crawled out of a red hot stove, in which he had taken refuge to dodge random bullets. Bill Snow Ball, whose name does not altogether reflect his color, crawled out of a water bucket, which he had turned over his head to at least protect one vital spot from the shower of hot lead. While others made use of the third story windows in the building in order to reach the ground ahead of a chasing bullet to protect themselves from danger. Amid all of this excitement, however, there is nothing to show that a single razor was flying in the air. Is it possible that the black man is so rapidly loosing his racial identity as this? * * * Glad to Get Back. Perhaps Prof. G. W. Hartranft, Superintendent of county schools, was exceedingly glad to get back to Seattle, as he stated in a public interview, but was it not on account of his family and business relations that he was glad to get back. All men are glad to get back to their homes and just why men of intelligence and education should make such statements for publication is the quandary. It matters not where one lives, they are interested in that community and if they go away they are glad to get back; its perfectly natural. While Seattle is a thriving and thrifty city and a fairly pleasant place to live in, from a business standpoint, there is nothing to compare it with the older settled Eastern cities, and if Prof. Hartranft was not over in "Sleepy Hollow" or upon Kangaroo Ridge during his visit in the East he certainly saw more in a minute there than he will see in Seattle for a month. Among the persons living in Seattle, and all of the Western cities, for that matter, the "almighty dollar" is the highest aim of life, while in most of the Eastern cities the almighty dollar has already been made and men and women enjoy themselves from a social standpoint, which they do not do in Western cities. *** Was it a Fake? King Solomon, his exciting experience on a railroad train between Portland and Seattle to the contrary notwithstanding, is again strutting the streets of Seattle and sporting his usual voluptuous gold headed cain, which Bo Sweeney failed to take from him, though Bo is a Kentuckian and quite unaccustomed to being defied by men with black skins. The Associated Press reports to the Times seemed to indicate that King Solomon had laid aside all of his wisdom and went after the tender people, who would not accept his wisdom, with his gun, and it required the whole police force of Kalama to prevent nim from slaying them by the scores. That it was all a cock and a bull story of the Times, as everything else it publishes, was a foregone conclusion at the time, and subsequent developments have quite verified it. * * * Moore's Mighty Magazines The Bureau of Information, under the general management of O. M. Moore, an erstwhile newspaper man of this state, is to soon issue a splendid monthly magazine setting forth the advantages of Eastern people, both with and without money, coming to this section of the world to settle and start life all over as it were. With Mr. Moore at its head the general public is assured that it will be a highly meritorious publication from the very outset, and one that will reflect credit on the entire community. The publication will in no wise compete with either the weekly or the daily papers in the advertisement business, but will depend solely on its subscription list and the bureau for its support. . * * * Those Brave Police Officers Not half seems to have been as yet told as to the bravery of Detective Adams and Lane in capturing the burglar one night last week by shooting him from ambush without so much as trying to take him alive. The quiet investigation that has been going, on since that time now points strongly to the fact that Murray's accomplice was none other than the dirty stool pigeon that put the detective on and that it was he who fired the shot in Murray's head and was then permitted to escape by the detective. It begins to look as if the killing of Murray was one of the most beastly acts ever committed in this city, and that is saying a good deal. It is strange that Detective Adams does not bring forward the man or boy that gave him the tip. Under the existing circumstances he would not only be doing himself a justice to produce the "beast," but he would be ridding the police department of a scandal that is doing it no good. As said above, the full amount of bravery displayed by the officers of the law on that occasion will perhaps never be half told. --- Caught in the Act. Why would not Hon. E. B. Wishar have been perfectly justified in shooting Officer McClurg down like a dog the other day when he ran across him almost in the act of murdering another citizen and that, too, without sufficient provocation to warrant him arresting the man, if for any at all? That McClurg overstepped his authority and was acting in a manner wholly unbecoming of an officer, is an undisputable fact, or the chief would not have suspended him for a week. If he deserves a suspension he deserves still further punishment, and Mr. Wishar should take up the matter with the civil service board, and, if the officer did what he (Wishar) says he did, a warrant should be sworn out against him and he be punished by the courts. POLITICAL POT - PIE To succeed in politics one must do politics every day in the year. This being a fact, it is none too early for King county to begin to lay its plans to capture the next United States senator to be elected for this state. It was almost natural that the last legislature elect a United States senator from Eastern Washington instead of Western Washington, and thereby give the latter section both of the United States senators and two of the congressmen, leaving Eastern Washington with but one out of the five members of congress from this state. King county felt that she was entitled to the senatorship, not so much from a right standpoint, as from a might standpoint. She might have made the latter work had she put up a popular candidate, but laboring under the belief that Governor McBride was all powerful and because he favored an iceburg in this city, King county endorsed Harold Preston for the senatorship. If King county had any chance in the world of capturing the plum, she then and there threw it all away. What King county should do in the coming election is to instruct her members of the legislature to take up the various senatorial candidates and aspirants from King county and after they have been sent through a sifting committee take the one that can bring to her the greatest amount of outside strength and then rally around him. A great number of the smaller counties are jealous of King county and are loth to support her candidate for the United States senate because they believe such candidate, if elected, would use his influence in congress for King county's selfish ends and to their detriment. A man, therefore, must be selected whom the smaller counties can have implicit confidence in and if the voters of King country can find such a man there is no doubt in the mind of the Piemaker but that a King county man will succeed Addison G. Foster as United States senator from Washington in 1905. * * * Speaking about a prospective gubernatorial nomination, the name of Hon. C. I. Roth has been very favorably mentioned in that connection. Mr. Roth has twice represented a district in Whatcom county in the legislature and has made a very creditable record as a legislator. He is likewise very popular in the northwest and would come as near defeating Governor McBride in his own county as any other man. "If Mr. Roth would permit the use of his name, I am inclined to think that he would come to the next state convention with every county in the northwest, and by making the proper terms with King county he could likewise have her support, which would give him a tremendous following from the very outset in the state convention, which would eventually land him the gubernatorial nomination," said a prominent politician one day this week. * * * In round numbers the Eighth legislature appropriated for the current expenses of the state for the ensuing two years $4,000,000. Perhaps there is pressing need for every dollar that has been appropriated by the legislature, for certainly those having charge of the matter would not recklessly appropriate the state's funds for sinister motives, but the figures do seem enormously large. The state of Utah, which is almost as large and equally as populous as the state of Washington, was given but a small sum over $1,000,000 by her legislature for its current expenses for the ensuing two years, and it does not seem that the state of Washington should require almost three times as much for her current expenses for the same length of time. These figures would not be so startling if an astounding deficiency bill would not be up for con- UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON APR 29 1952 ICAN PRICE FIVE CENTS POT - PIE sideration among the first things that the Ninth legislature will be called upon to pass on. In other words, if this amount would be final and all that would be given, it might not be considered extravagant. . . . In a political fight to a finish in the city council last Monday night Councilman Crichton succeeded in besting Corporation Counsel Gilliam by having the council elect Scott Calhoun grade and tax attorney for the city of Seattle, which office was made vacant by the untimely death of the late John W. Pratt. Mr. Gilliam desired to name the man to fill that position and desired him to be a part and parcel of his office, but Dr. Crichton and his friends did not see it that way and waged a war, which resulted in the election of Mr. Calhoun as stated above. This would indicate that there is more or less politics in the city council, which has at various times shown itself in the actions of the members thereof. Mr. Calhoun, however, is a very able attorney and will in all human probability give ample satisfaction. *** Contrary to expectations, no opposition appeared on the surface in the re-election of Councilman W. H. Parry to succeed himself as president of the council for the ensuing year. Be it said to Mr. Parry's credit that he has made an able and efficient presiding officer since elected a year ago, and his rulings have been eminently fair. Will Parry, as he is commonly known among the most of the citizens of Seattle, is one man that always wears well. Whatever he has undertaken and whatever he has been engaged in he has always done it well and acceptably. Whether as city editor of the leading daily paper or as city comptroller of Seattle or as manager of a great ship building concern or as president of the city council he has always done his duty and done it in a manner that won for himself much praise and commendation. While Mr. Parry declares he has no political ambitions, yet in spite of his declaration he is quietly being groomed by a number of his most intimate friends for high political preferment in this state. Congressman Humphrey is having his first experience in settling post office disputes, which is now going on over the post office at Renton. More devil is kicking up over these little two by four country post offices than isicked up over a congressional nomination or a senatorial election. --- Granted that Senator Turner is correct in branding the members of the late legislature as falsifiers to the people and bribe takers, they certainly had none the best of the members of the legislature that elected him, for if reports be true, Senator Turner's corruption fund was the biggest that ever went to the legislature. Persons living in glass houses should not throw stones. * * * Nettleton's New Invention Major S. R. Nettleton, who has been raising hog and hominy over in Kirkland for the past two years, is to the front with an invention which promises to fill a long felt want and at the same time to fill the major's pockets with those kinds of rocks that will buy barrels of St. Patrick's Day water. The major is very reticent as to the nature of his invention, but says it will startle the natives when it is put upon the market. Watch for its coming.

Bill Signing is the text that the state capital’s “D. D.” is preaching from just now. St. Patrick's day always brings its refreshing influences, especially among Erin's sons. Guessing who Mike Doogen is goes merrily on, but in every instance the guesser still has a guess coming. None of the "thirteen" have been mobbed since returning from Olympia and that must appear funny to Preston and Blethen. "United States is" is now pronounced good grammar. Well, has it not always been good grammar among good grammarians. Dr. Ames, ex-mayor of Minneapolis, says he is crazy. Let him be locked up at once, for its dangerous for crazy men to run at large. "King Solomon's" adaptability and wisdom of settling other folks' trouble might be advantageously used in his own troubles just now. A few days ago another original "Uncle Tom" died, which would indicate that the supply of Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Toms will last indefinitely. It is claimed that Michigan grows ninety per cent of all the pepperment used in the world. No wonder she can send such hot stuff as Spooner to the United States senate. "Intellectual plays" may be all right in some parts of the world, but they do not go out West. Sometimes fast, foolish, furious and funny is what brings the house down out here. In police circles of this city "give us our Breeches back and we will do the rest," is sung, while the habitues of the Past Time Club are willing to cut Breeches out of its dress parade make up. And now comes pokey easy old England with a "get rich quick" man, who, after getting rich himself, fled the country and left his victims to figure out among themselves how it was done. Carter Harrison has been for the fourth time nominated by the Democrats for mayor of Chicago and we'll not be a bit surprised if he is for the fourth time elected. Chicago needs him in her business. The scientists who claims to have discovered the art of maing water burn did not do so a day too early, as another scientist has more recently discovered that the world is to soon have a wood famine. Whether singing in Europe or South America, the European concerters always harp "it is money, aint it funny, it drives away all sorrows and all cares, it is money, money all the time"—that we want and must have. If it be true that President Roosevelt is to Sunday in Seattle, then we suggest that the Grand Jury, instead of adjourning, do over time in cleaning up the city prior to his arrival, for there is still room for improvement. Perhaps Col. Blethen was honored by the senate in its refusal to confirm him as a regent of the state university, as thinks the Colfax Commoner, but the Colonel does not entertain a like opinion of it; in fact he was and is real mad about it. When the Tacoma Ledger pronounced the closing hours of the Eighth legislature but "a minstrel show," it reasoned without its host, for the "end man"—the editor of the Ledger—was not present, and how could a minstrel show proceed with him absent. When the legislature of Illinois appropriated $9,000 for the erection of a statute to Miss Francis E. Willard it completely refuted the statement that "nothing good could come out of an Illinois legislature" because Billy Mason was a product of one of her legislature bodies. In ratifying the Colombian treaty for the immediate building of the isthmian canal in spite of Democratic opposition the Republican senate has done nobly and for doing so each and every member thereof will be warmly congratulated by their constituents and as well as by the entire civilized sections of this country. Representative Levy demanded $25,000 damages from the "trust printers" and their failure to pungle up prompted him to begin suit in Thurston county for the immediate collection of the same. If it was to do over we surmise the trust would jump at the $1,500 proposition that it claims Levy made to it to stop the printing investigation. Col. Alden J. Blethen is one of a committee to receive President Roosevelt next May. Let's hope the colonel will not receive President Roosevelt in Seattle in a similar manner as did he President Cleveland in Minneapolis. If, however, he does, he will fare a good deal worse in Seattle than he did in Mineapolis, and God knows that is saying a good deal.

The Irish race is not unlike the African in many respects. They have been down trodden for centuries and this has developed the intellect and natural ability and brightness of the race. Without the Ethiopian and the Irishman there would be little fun in the world. "The Game Keeper" is an excellent picture of Irish life as seen in many localities of Ireland. "ARIZONA." For the picturesque enframement of Augustus Thomas' "Arizona," to be presented at the Grand Sunday and all next week, the artists have painted a series of scenes which, they own to have been copied from nature and man's handiwork as it exists in the Aravaipa Valley, in the picturesque southwestern territory. The red-tiled adobe buildings of Canby's ranch, the heavily beamed and embrasured living rooms of the colonel's quarters at Fork Grant, have been reproduced The next attraction that comes to the Third Avenue theatre following the "Game Keeper" will be the eminent tradegian, Mr. John Griffith, in "Macbeth." Mr. Griffith has been seen here in "Faust" and other tragic roles and he ought to make as good a "Macbeth" as any actor on the stage today. Because he plays at popular prices and at the up-town theatre there is no reason why he will not give as good a production as though he charged $1.50 and played at a larger establishment. PERSONAL Mr. R. W. Butler, the well known builder and contractor, has been suffering from a severe attack of the grip for the past month or more. Mr. J. H. Ryan returned from Olympia the first of the week, whither he had been for the past two months getting out a legislative manual, and which, by the way, was a most creditable publication. He left last Wednesday for Spokane, where he may again pitch his tent. South Seattle News is the name of a splendid weekly paper that is being issued by Mr. T. E. Reed, who for a season was connected with the Fremont Colleague. Mr. Reed gives evidence of being an excellent newspaper man and judging from the advertising columns of the News, it is quite apparent that his paper is here to stay. "Though a colored man, I find no excuse for running a class paper, and I do not intend to do so," said Mr. Reed one day this week. "If I am not a success running a newspaper, I certainly could not be a success running a colored paper." Rev. Mack Scott, who some weeks ago was found guilty of assaulting Mary Hall, who recently died from the effects, has been sentenced by Judge Griffin to fifteen years hard labor in the penitentiary. While this is practically life for a man of Scott's age, yet no one would have murmured a bit if he had have been given a life sentence and two years more. Men who will committ such heinous crimes and especially men in his position, should not be shown any mercy or favor, but given the full extent of the law. His attorneys have appealed the case and are certain the law will be declared unconstitutional.

E-mail: info@p.o.address.com THE AFRO-AMERICANS Ae eee PRE ee ANE, ORES es for him, he is more “cussed” than dis-| The preacher, the lecturer, the teacher, the politician, the statesman, | the orator, the author, the actor, and the singer, each seems to have a “knock” coming for the especial bene- fit of the “brother in black.” It is the vogue. The oft-asserted sympathy for the “under dog” has disappeared, and its place is usurped by the universal desire to “land on” the first Negro that comes in sight. Strange revelation, this revolution, For that it is a revolution no one will deny, America has been kind to the Negro, in a way. Heretofore it has generously coriceded to him with a chance to “make good.” More than that, laws have been framed forbid- ding oppression based upon blood. Noble men and saintly women have zealously joined hands in the effort to lighten the burden of the black man’s woe, and, while the nation balked at the suggestion of “forty acres and a mule,” still not until the present has there developed any desire to take from the Negro “even that which he hath.” But times have changed. The Ne- gro now occupies the center of the stage through no desire of his own, and the lime lights are turned on. Byery mistake he has made is magni- fied, every fault emphasized, and ey- ery shortcoming exaggerated—all for the purpose of overshadowing what- ever good he has done, His enemies declare he is unfit for citizenship, that education ruins him, and that he is lapsing into barbarism. His friends, hearing accusation follow accusation, stand appalled and dazed by the aggressiveness of the onslaught and offer no word of sympathy or de- fense. But this change has not come by chance, It may appear so to the white man, but to the Negro it is the bitter realization of well-grounded fears. The white man, with nothing at stake, has carried his head high, and to him there came no ominous sounds of darken- ing days. But the Negro, whose new-found es- tate brought with it mingled hopes and fears, kept his ears always close to the ground, hoping and praying that the fruit of liberty should not turn to ashes in his tremulous grasp. His anxious eye was quick to discover the clouds upon the horizon, and no sound of unrest escaped his listening ear. He heard himself discussed every- where, and he noted that in every con- testing forum his interests failed, He saw principles and policies swerve, as the demands of color-line logic, and knew that every concession was at his expense. He saw all this, and he realized that it was the gradual un- folding of a purpose on the part of his late masters to win their way by converting the North to the doctrines of the South, A Modified Serfdom. ‘Thus the proselyting began, and it has continued to this day, tirelessly, systematically, unwaveringly, with the one purpose in view—the establish- ment of a modified serfdom in the South, It is bolder today than it was twenty years ago—because it can afford to be—because by pushing its way, preaching its doctrine hourly, daily, and yearly in the pulpit, through the papers, in politics, by magazines, in Dusiness, in social life, everywhere, at all times, and in every way, the South has about convinced the nation that this is a Southern problem, and its solution must be left to the white peo- ple of the South. That was the contention made by the South forty years ago. He will fully and shamefully misrepresents history who says that the white peo- ple of the North made Negroes citi- zens that they might dominate the white people of the South. With slay- coer aholiahed end the Union eaved, the ery out of which they had come. The South's Policy. ‘That was all the North demanded, and that was what the South refused. The first seven states organized under Andrew Johnson's plan of provisional government showed the purpose of the South by the laws they enacted in reference to the freedmen, These laws virtually re-established serfdom and it was the enactment of these laws which compelled the nation to declare that human liberty was not a Southern but a national question, and the result was the Fourteenth Amendment. ‘Thus was qualified serfdom defeated in 1865. But the purpose enacted in the constitutions of those seven states has never wavered an instant from that day to this, and while methods have been peaceful and diplomatic they have been none the less persist- ent and effective. First, of course, came the rehabilitation of each state with the power and authority of a sovereign state, ‘That secured, there quickly followed the Ku-Klux regime and reign of ter- ror, by which the Negroes were de- nied the right of suffrage. It was a bloody revolution, of course, but the South confidently relied upon the fact that “blood is thicker than water,” and reasoned that the white people of the North would not seriously ob- ject. In this they were right. Next followed discriminations forbidden by the Fourteenth Amendment. Discrim- inating laws were enacted, in plain violation of the constitution, in the firm belief that an accommodating su- preme court would find a way to sus- tain them. In this they were not mistaken, for the supreme court followed the bid- ding to the letter. Hence, “Jim Crow” cars, “Jim Crow” depots, and “Jim Crow” legislation of all kinds mark the onward progress of the deep-laid plan. Movement for Education. Next came legislation to disfran- chise the Negro, Of course, the fif- teenth amendment was in the way, but the purpose never halted at a little thing like that. So disfranchisement began. With the “grandfather” clause in some states and “understanding clauses” in others, the Negro has been boldly and avowedly disfranchised in five of the Southern states, Meanwhile other phases of the work were being pushed with brilliant diplo- macy; attention has been directed by every possible means to the “great mistakes” made by the generous, noble people of the North, who since the war have sent millions of money into the South to carry the spelling book and the Bible to the benighted blacks. Millions of money were spent in founding schools and churches, and thousands of Christian white men and white women suffered almost martyr- dom to carry education into the hum- ble homes of these ignorant but as- piring people, Through these inspired preachers and teachers over 30,000 colored men and women haye been fitted to preach and teach their own people, while a host of others have been fitted for law, medicine, and oth- er professions. Now the one univer- sal phase of this proselyting move- ment is to conyince the North that this effort at helping the Negro is a great mistake, that to teach the Negro to be a doctor or a lawyer or a teacher is to spoil him, As that distinguished preacher, the Rey. ‘Thomas Dixon, ten- derly puts it, the educated Negro is a monstrosity. It is claimed that all education that is not industrial is an injury to the Negro and a menace to the South. And so persistently is this doctrine preached and so plausible is the argu- ment made that Northern benefactors are beginning to incline a listening ear, When that doctrine prevails, and schools established by Northern bene- thropy fail, the rest is easy.

Other states will follow, of course, and a few years will see the colored school system of the South practically close its doors against col- ored children, __ The next step is easy and final. The Negro, deprived of his franchise, loses bee status as a citizen, With him “taxation without representation” be- comes a legislative fact, and he holds ‘property by sufferance, not by right. The Negro, proscribed by law, be- comes outlawed; he “has no right “which the white man is bound to re- spect.” His voluntary labor is gov- |erned by contract laws, while penal enactments crowd the code, subject: ing his slightest misdemeanors to the | prison lease system. The only remain- ing step is to take away his oath and 'serfdom is complete, and that is the next stop on the program. When the South is able to point to the Negro, without civil rights, with- out property rights, without education, without suffrage, and without an oath, then and not until then will it say it has solved the Negro problem. That solution is the purpose which has been untiringly at work through all these turbulent years, and it is that pur- pose which the agitation of today de- mands that the American people shall accept and approve. This the nation must refuse to do. Long ago the martyred Lincoln said that this nation cannot exist half slave and half free, and what was true then is true now, If the nation is willing to placate prejudices inherited from slavery, by conceding the right of one section of this country to establish serfdom within its bounds, it must de- liberately choose to face the problems which necessarily follow. Out of that condition must come the “irrepressible conflict” between intelligent, self-re- specting labor and cheap, ignorant serfage. ‘Tolerating that condition, the nation must abandon the doctrine of man- hood suffrage and stand before the world as sponsor for the doctrine of aristocracy of blood. Sectional inter- ‘ests will make necessary a readjust- [ment of representation in the national |Congress, for then, as now, upon all national issues, one white man in the South will be equal to five white men ‘in the North. These and other prob- |lems follow in the wake of the black | man’s villainage, and the one problem ‘of today may give way to many prob: lems equally dangerous for the mor- row. Facing the Problem. To avoid these multiplied complica- tions, it becomes our duty to deal justly with the problem we now have. In this regard the Negro will do his duty “with malice toward none and charity toward all.” He has suffered ‘much, but he does not despair. He ‘trusts in God, He makes no threats, harbors no hate, to the oppressor’s blow he turns the unsmitten cheek. He knows that he is ignorant and |poor, but his daily endeavor is to ‘lay aside the weights which beset him and run with diligence the race set ‘before him. He does not need a look- ing glass to tell him that he is black. "He requires no almanac to give sta- tisties of his immorality, nor an alarm clock to tell him it is time for him to “get busy.” He is trying to give account of him- self wherever he finds the “door of opportunity” open to him, He is mak- ing no excuses for failures, nor is he asking any special privilege to help One of the Many ge | eA SPLENDID VALUES IN eg Er cares GO CARTS HERE WQy Se ee eed .

Negro's Patient Striving. ‘Thus has he worked since emancipa- tion in the hope that patient endeavor might appease enemies and make friends. His record in politics might have been better; it could have been worse. It is popular to charge all the oppression visited upon the Negro to be the result of his blunders in poli- tics, and no credit is given him for any good work done. He gave the South a public school system and the constitutions of the reconstruction period could not have been such woeful blunders, since, with all their superior statesmanship, the white people lived under those identical constitutions for more than a quarter of a century and never con- sidered it necessary to change them until they decided upon disfranchise- ment. In educational matters the race has been zealously working for success. Before emancipation it was a crime to teach the slave to read or write, and yet thirty years later the total illiteracy has been lifted and 45 per cent of the race are literate. Schools, academies, training schools, and col- leges are not able to supply the de- mands made upon them by aspiring students. In these busy years 30,000 colored teachers haye been educated and sent into the field, while more than 2,000 professional men enjoy the patronage of their race. Ih business he has given proof that he has learned the value of a dollar. His accumulations since the war amount to more than $40,000,000, He offers these facts,. trusting that his Northern friends will realize that he is not drifting into barbarism, that his aspirations are for the highest citizenship, and that he does not need a master. His hope is to call the at: tention of the nation to the agitation of this day and thereby make impos: sible the condition of qualified serf- dom which it has in view.—Inter ‘Genus.
