NEGRO IN POLITICS.
Theme of an Address Before Second

sentative White, Mrs. John NJ. Langston,
Mrs. Frank Langston, Miss Jennie Perci-
val and Judge Gibbs The paper was read
by r. S. Smith of the local bar, upon The
Negro in Politics and Business"
Among other things Mr.. Smith said that
when the negro came into the heritage of
freedom he was taught, first that which
should have been taught him last, and the
first lesson tended TO unfit him for the sec
ond- The man who has been Instructed in
politics before he receives any instruction
in industrial citizenship must fail as poll
tician because his elementary training is
faulty; and yet the first error could not be
corrected by attempting to ignore the infiu-
ence it has exerted upon him, any more
than he can be remitted back to childhood,
in order to begin life anew. 1t would
therefore be wrong to disfranchise the ne
gro now because of the error committed
in his political infancy.
1t has been too generally the rule with the
negro, the speaker said, Ito depend upon
politics as the only means of securing his
rights. What the negro needs is a foothotd
IN the business world and q permanent in
terest in the land. The doors of political
parties are open to the negro, but the doors
or trades unions are closed against him.
This state of things compels him to con-
clude that so-called political advantages
are mere baubles, and causes him to yearn
Tor the substantial business relation. 1t was
perfectly natural that Prof. Booker T
Washington should found the organization
known as the National Negro Business
League In the very center of the opposing
forces.
The White House incident" the speaker
added, showed that Mr.. Washington knew
whereof he spoke when he said that social
ly the negro and the white man in the south
We're as separate as the fingers, but in mat
ters material and industrial they were as
united as the hand. Sooner or later the
south will learn" he said, that the furore
