Hon. A. NJ. Waddell, of North Car
olina, was one of the speakers at the
recent convention in Montgomery,
Ala, held for the purpose of discussing
the race question, in which prominent
men from the North as well as the
South participated. He is thus
quoted in part by the Associated
Press:
Mr.. Waddell spoke of the North
Carolina proposed Constitutional
amendment saying that, if adopted,
there will be about so, 900 negro voters
in the State. Probably 10000 negroes
will be disfranchised. 1t is substan-
TALLY the same as the Louisiana
amendment. 1t disfranchises no white
man, educated or illiterate, who
registers as voter before Decem Der
1st, 1908, but applies an educational
test after that date. 1t disfranchises
every negro who cannot read and
write any section of the constitution
except such as are descended from
the old free negroes who voted prior
to 1885, in North Carolina, or such as
have come into the State from other
States where negroes could vote prior
to 1867.
cit has been charged that the
amendment contains property quail
fication, but this is mistake.
"Cf course the object of the amend
ment is to eliminate the ignorant ne
gro vote, and assure the supremacy
of the whites. This is honestly be-
lieved by the best citizens of the
State to be the only way in which
they can preserve their heritage and
escape a repetition of their recent
experience.
'.There is surely necessity for this
kind of legislation, and there is no
wrong or injustice in it. The South
ern people are forced to resort to it,
if they would preserve their civilian
tion-and self-preservation is the first
law for peoples as for individuals. If
we we're dealing with abstract princi-
Piles of right as between equals it
would be proper to insist that the
limitations on suffrage where they
exist, should apply to both races
alike, but the very basis of our prob
lem is the inequality of the races.
For 5000: years the one has been a
servant of servants in all lands; the
other for centuries has ruled the
earth.
at is stupid and criminal to force
them to live together with equal rights
and privileges to each, because such
a condition means-first, strife and
disorder, and eventually the expul
sion or annihilation of the weaker
race. What does humanity. wha,
does statesmanship-which is com
mon sense applied to public affairs
dictate as the best and wisest course
to be pursued under such conditions;
Why cannot the American people dis
play the courage of their conviction:

tinued to employ them and aid them
as before. 1t is without parallel in
human history.
lin the light of such record, and
the results Of unqualified negro suf-
frage, no man can Justly say that an
effortto restrict that suffrage, whether
the restriction applies to others or
not, is unrighteous or oppressive. 1t
will not do to say that if the illiterate
negro is disfranchised, the illiterate
whiteman should also be deprived Of
his vote. A very large proportion of il
literate white men have an intelligent
understanding of what they are vot-
ing for, and of the merits of candi-
dates for office.
"Leaving heredity out OF view en-
tirely (and it ought always to be kept
in mind) they have been accustomed
all their lives to hear political dis
cussions. These things cannot truth
fully be said of one illiterate negro in
500. Doctrinaries and moralists may
theorize and dogmatize forever. but
they can not convince an Anglo-Saxon
that negroes ought to participate in
the government of white men, and .
statesman will always recognize this
insuperable fact in dealing with the
negro problem in the South.
''What the negro needs is not polit-
ical power, but the help and sympathy
of the white people among whom he
lives, and which they have always
stood ready to give, but which he has
done his best to nullify. 1t was not
his natural inclination, but the result
of false and vicious training since his
emancipation. He not only needs this
help and sympathy, but will perish
without it. He will never, however,
receive it as he has done, until he
abandons the idea of political power.
White supremacy is absolutely es-
sential to his welfare, because it
means the salvation Of those things
upon which his every interest de-
pends. 1t is madness in him. to re-
sist it. There is in every civilized
community a force superior to any
written statute-the force of an over
whelming public opinion-and when
this public opinion is based, as in this
case, upon race pride supplemented
by the lessons of three thousand years
of history, it is beyond the reach of
any legislation to alter or revise. For
this reason, and for this reason only,
the fourteenth amendment to the
United States constitution is dead
letter, and ought no longer to remain
a part of the fundamental law of the
country. 1t cannot benefit the negro.
and acts as solvent to the bond OF
fraternal reunion which would other
wise be infrangible.
Il am very we'll aware, Mr.. Chair
man, that in giving expression to
these views upon the subj ject which !
was invited to discuss, have simply
repeated in a very concise form an
oft-repeatcd tale. l understand per-
fectly that no one is responsible fol
them but myself, but there can be lit
tie doubt that they are in the main
but reflection of the opinions of 8
vast majority of the Southern people
with whom at last rests the solution
of the race problem in all its aspects.

O n this subject9 Do you t,1 me that
education will be the cure-all for this
state of things? 1 yield to no man
in my es innate of the supreme import
ance Of popular education, although
l know that in the country where it
was developed first, even by a cou-
pulsory process, there has been and
is despotism, and military aris tocracy;
but the experience of nearly 40 years
in these Southern States has demon
strated that any other than industrial
education for the negro simply means,
in the homely phrase of Uncle Re-
mus, the spelling Of a field hand if
not the creation Of a social misfit or
something worse. do not hesitate
to express the opinion that while l
would not apply the test to white
men, if it can be done by any consti-
tutional method, it would be much
wiser to require property qualifica-
tion than an educational one for the
negro voter, but until some better
way out of our troubles is provided,
the one adopted in Louisiana and
proposed in North Carolina seems to
give the only hope of relief. Relief
we must have, as is admitted by all
except the fanatical enemies of the
South and its people. We do not
want to get it by fraud or force, aud
it was cruel wrong to place US in a
position where we were compelled to
resort to one or the other of them for
self-protection. 1t was not only cruel
to the Southern people but was injuri-
Gus to the best interests of the whole
country, because in addition to bar
ring out immigration and obstructing
progress, and otherwise affecting ma
terial growth, it has prevented dis
| play of that honest difference of opin-
ion on all questions political which
| would otherwise have found express
| sion to the advancement of the pub
lie good, and has narrowed the view
of our people to the one over-shadow-
ing issue which, like the sword of
Damocles, has hung suspended above
| US.
''No people have ever had to wrestle
with such a multi-form problem for
so long time, and believe in my
soul that no other people would have
SO patiently and so honorably dealt
with it as they have. 1t must strike
the future historian as both astound-
! ing and infinitely creditable to the
Southern people that for a third of a
century, though poorer than ever be-
fore, they taxed themselves literally
for the education of the children Of
the negroes, provided them with
asylums for their afflicted, employed
them almost exclusively as artisans
and laborers, sympathized with them
in their SORROWS, and helped them in
their troubles, and yet every year in
that whole period saw these same ne
groes 60 to the polls with unfailine
regularity, and vote as unit and as
a race, against their every interest
against good government, and the
welfare of both races-but still con
