has appointed a negro as collector
place most important to all mer-
camille interests. He has put a
colored man in place which COM
pels all the white merchants to
meet that colored man on terms
of absolute equality. That seems
a very fine and democratic thing
-superfcially. But let us look
at the matter from various sides.
We must be guided in partial
life by practical conditions. We
must pay attention to what actu-
ally exists. Mr.. Roosevelt says
in substance: The law declares
the negro the equal of any other.
l insist that he shall be every
mans equal. I refuse to recog-
nize any distinction of race or
color" If that were true, it
would be frantic, but interesting

Fitzgerald enterprise. (Fitzgerald, Ga.) 1895-1912, 1903-02-06

Mr.. Roosevelt, President of
the United States, has declared
himself the negroes friend. That
is very noble declaration The
negro has a hard place to fill in
this world. His education began
many thousands of.Hyears later
than that of the race with which
he completes. He is, in a very
weak minority not onlyiin num-
bers, butin equipment. He suf-
fersIthe disadvantage of having
filled a place ofzconfessed and
helpless inferioity, His present
so-called equality is the result of
commercial war and territorial
rivalry -not..of human justice full
ly developed. Therefore he
who, sincerely and Disinteres-
tedly, befl lends the negro
is a real man, unselfsh and
humane. Mr.. Roosevelt acts
when he does aggressiye1y
and noisily. He has declared
himself the Negroes friend and
protector. lie declares that ne
groes must and shall hold their
share of Offices Gin the South

tyis strongest). The presidents
attitude is noisy and aggressive
as usual. He appointed asspost-
mistress in the r'outh certain
coIored lady. She was in every
way respecta bic, and worthy. but
the people objected and made
1eir objectin apparent. The
lady-with a tact which Mr..
Roosevelt perhaps does not quite
understand-refused to oppose
her interests to the wishes of an
