makes clean breast of it, 1.-The Kan.
sas City PLATFORM" it ssys "declares
that Imperialism is the paramount is
sue-the Republic against the Empire, u
But, unable to blind it's eyes to the
democratic party's imperlalistlc policy
OF Negro disfranchisement, our con
te nporary speaks lis mind:
Our platform declares that imperialism
is the great issue of the campaign, yet in
our own hearts we know it is our desire and
determination to govern the Negroes outside
OF the Constitution, just as the Indians the
kanakas and the Fiipinos are being gov
erned outside of the Gonsti utioa. We can
afford to be consistent in some thipgs-con-
slstent in that which makes no other pre-.
text than to confess our adhesion to the i'm
perialistic doctrine which declares that we
will govern all off colored races wheJ ever
the flag fl oats outside of the Constitution
the Negro, the Indian, the Kanaka and the
Filipino"
The right and power of the United
States Congress to govern the Indians
"outs!de of the Constitution" has never
been questioned since the foundation
Of the country. The power so to govern
the people of the territories and of all
TERRITORY belonging to the United
States" whether they be in New
Mexico, Aiaski, Hawaii or Luzon, is
not seriously debstable. But between
the government of such people without
their consent, for which the republican
party is now imme diately resp onsible.
and the government without con.
sent" which the democratic party seeks
TO establish in its great stronghold of
the South, there is sstriking difference
The India as, the Kanakas and the
Filipinos have never received the
right of suffrage. The Negroes are full
American citizens and have voted for
more than thirty years. In that time
the black race has been responsible for
Ao Silb4C eSdiAot tAC l1ahCAISCS AO
despot1c overturning of the popular
will, no debasement of the courts, no
governmental wrong.
There is still more radical difference
between the Filipinos, for whom
BRYAN and his people Iash themselves
into indignation, and the American Ne
groes, fer whom the Brysnites seek to
take away the right Of self government.
The Negroes represent no danger to
United States sovereignty. The FIJI.
ipinos, or the Aguinaldists, are in
bloody and vindlctive insurrection, de-
nying Amerlc an authority and killing
the men sent to uphold it.
Must the Negroes revolt against the
Stars and Stripes in order to win the
Bryanites' friendship?

Last Sunday afternoon Rev. M. M.
AcOonney Of Queenstown, South Africa
spoke to large congregation at Bethel
church. He attended the song service
conducted by Dr.. r. Porter. Mr.. Nc
Conney is perhaps the most learned
oolored man IN America. He speaks
seven different languages. He gave
brief account Of the origin ofthe human
languages, stating that all languages
had the origin from the African. 1t waa
treat to hear him.
Sunday night Rev. J. q Tanzie Of
Queenstown, South Africa, preached
to large congregation at Bethel, Mr.,
Tsnzie has been thirty years fighting
sin as a minister of the gospel. He is
very ripe scholar and fine preacher
He, too, speaks several languages.
After hearing these two scholars 1 was
led to ask DR.. 4. W. Lee, pastor OF
Bethel, what he thought of our mission
aries TO Africa, and did he think that
our missionaries equal to these. DR..
Lee very frankly ad limited that we
would have to give more attention in
future to the class of men sent out as
missionaries, especially to South Africa.
He and Major 8. W. Easley, jr., both
were seen afterwsrd discussing this
subject and they both agree with me
that the four last men sent from Africa
who have spoken in Bethel are the su'
periors ofmost of our American Negroes
from an educational stand point. Bish'
op Turner was completely carried away
with the remarks of these men.

Mrs Bruce Advises ThoughttuIness.

Mrs. B. K. Bruce, always gracious
speaker, with brain full Of ripe
thought and practical philosophy, said
in recent address to the students at
Tuskegee:
"Some one has said that if man or
a woman accomplishes one half OF the
best things that he or she plans to do in
life, it will mean we'll spent life. This
idea implies well defined purposes in
the mind; well defined purpose Inn
plies plan. 1t all implies thoughtful
ness. Nothing is accomplished that Is
worthy, that is not the result Of care
fully houghtout-out plan."
