In recent debate in the house of

peradoes-those unworthy and des-

prescription and fear has paralyzed

The Registration of voters in Ala
bama shows how completely the new

amendment to the Federal constitu-
ton which provides that THE right of
citizens of the United States to vote
shall not be denied or abridged by the
United States, or by any State. on &C
count of race, color. or previous condi-
ton of servitude."
The census of 1900 shows the white
population of Alabama to be 1,001.152.
and the colored population to be
S27,3O7 The complete registration
shows more than 1S3,00O white voters
and less than $500 colored voters! Only
50 colored voters are registered in
Macon county-the home of the famous

The same plan of negro olsen
franchisement which appears to work
SO we'll in Alabama, is now in force in
number of the other southern states
and yet the South claims the right to
elect representatives to Congress to
legislate for the people of the whole
country, based in large part upon the
population thus deprived of the rights
of citizenship.
This is a question that must come
before the American people for settle
ment, and it will never be finally set

fully shown when the lamented Mckin-
ley was laid low by the hand of an
assassin. In that sad hour the people
were treasured for the country's fu-
ture, by the reflection that the duties of
the executive Office would fall upon
one in every way qualified to discharge
them wisely and well.
Mr.. Roosevelt had not only been the
associate of Mr.. Mckinley upon the
Republican presidential ticket. but he
was also his warm personal friend.
They were in full accord on questions
of public policy. He was, up to the
hour of the Presidents untimely death,
one of his closest and most trusted
fully, and in this fact the country
found comfort and Reinsurance, in the
sad hour of National bereavement.
Called, under such trying circum-
stances, to the important and exacting
duties of the Presidency, Mr.. Roose-
welt bore himself in manner that
commanded the confidence and respect
ne ho "a vi hi Of
the very start to carry out unchanged
the policies of President Mckinley. He
earnestly requested the members Of
the cabinet to retain their positions
thus avoiding the doubt and uncer-
tainty that would inevitably have
come from any radical readjustment Of
the machinery of government.
He took up the burdens of office
where President Mckinley laid them
down. and has carried them resolutely
forward along the same lines. AS a re-
suit there was no unsettling Of BUSH
ness conditions-and the prosperity Of
the country has gone grandly forward
without a moments interruption.
Since Mr.. Roosevelt has come to the
White House, the American people
have had opportunity to see and adj
mire the beauty of his domestic life.
A devoted husband and father, he and
his accomplished wife are bringing up
their sons and daughters in that whole
some, affectionate, truth loving atmos-
phere that is characteristic of the best
type of the American home.
This is the President whom the peo-
pie of Augusta, and the surrounding
cities and towns, will have an oppor-
tunity of seeing and hearing this eve
ming. 1t is a chance that, with most of
them will probably never come again
and none should fail to improve it.
Mr.. Roosevelt is a rugged, practical.
everyday man of the people-in close
and sympathetic touch with them in all
that makes for a broad, upright, and
progressive nationality.
