An Absurd Proposition.

"6hut the Negro out OF your prlm
aries and you have solved the Negro
question:" is the opening statement Of
a LaOst nOnsensioal proposition ennun
ciated by one Henry Standish, of Ten
nessee. "We democrats" said he, ''do
not allow q republican to vote at a
democratic primary. The Negro Is
considered republican voter. He can
be legally shut out OF the republican
primary, II the republican party would
just set him down as a democratic
voter. There is nothing TO prevent him
being shut oub of their primaries. If
he is thrown out Of the primaries of
both parties, what chance will he have
to vote? The democrats Of the South
hold the white voter because the Ne
gro is considered a republican 1t is
by shutting them out of the primaries
and force them to vote the republican
ticket that this condition is made posi-
Bile. The Eepub leans haven't awaken
ed to the fact that they can unload the
Negro, and by thus getting rid of that
incubus, stand chance of dividing the
white vote Of tie South on economic
Issues. When they do, the Negro Will
probably be looking for party"

of honor; but by some oversight no
report was made to the War Depart

and there 1t rested.
In connection with the Negro exhibit
at the Paris Exposition, MIR. Thomas j.
Galloway conceived the idea of making
collection of photographs Of colored
