a sENsisLE negro.

/ CHARLES f. DICKERSON, editor of
\ a Virginia paper devoted to the
advancement of the negroes, has some
very sound ideas on the race question.
Dickerson. though himself a negro. has
no patience with IN advised members
OF his race who believe in social equal
ity. Neither does he affiliate with the
northern whites who think the negro
in the south or somewhere else-should
be on an equal social footing with the
whites In a recent interview Diczer-
son said:
"The south is the uegro's best friend"
1T Is all a mistake TO believe that they
want 70 hang us and burn us and run us
OFF the face Of the earth. They hang ana
burn white men. too. There is less in
born autipathy TO the negro I'm the south
than there is in the north
THE whites don't think we are as good
as they are. and we arn't either We
COULDN'T be expected TO be- We won't ne
as good as, they are until we have climbed
the same ladder that they have climbed.
That may be half a century or it may
be century, and in the meantime the
negro should be content to take a back
seat. am Republican. but I am free
TO confess that the Republican politicians
in the south have done us great harm
i'm their attempt 60 befriend us. They
have encouraged the more ignorant ne
grOes to familiarities and presentations
that have enraged and disguised the
white people. I am in favor of an edu-
c2uonal qualification to Acknowledgement
and am in favor OF Jim Crow cars aud
waiting rooms. We should be as incon-
spicuous as possible until we learn
enough TO be conspicuous"
Sensible negroes can find no fault
with Dickerson's statements. He is
right when he says, almost in so many
words, that politics is at the bottom of
the negro problem. The great mistake
was in giving the blacks the right to
vote before they had arrived at the
state OF Intelligence which would en-
able them to vote intelligently on vital
public questions. If they had no votes
the politicians would not have been in
terested in them and the development
Of the negro would have gone forward
at much more rapid rate than il has
As to the educational test referred to
by Dickerson, it is fair to say that The
Herald does not believe anyone. either
white or black, should be allowed to
vote who hasn't at least enough edu-
cation to be able to read inteiligentIy
the constitution of his state and Of the
United States. In the north there is
a large percentage Of white voters who
would fail miserably in such a test,
and &c is not composed entirely OF for
ciCn born citizens either

And the COurier-JOurnal says that
"if there be something noble In the
rejection Of money one has not earned

must be a touch Of the ignOble in &C

Mr.. Bryan is doing something ignoble
in making a fight for what he be-
lieves to be his rights in the matter
Of the Bennett estate. We can't help
wondering if the editor Of the Courier
Journal himself a public man Of al
most as much prominence as Mr..

cumstances, do exactly as Mr.. Bryan
is doing.
Did the country think so very much

made president Of the United States
and because he came nearer being
president third time than any
American who has ever lived.
In the business Of this Bennett

that he did not want it for himself or

opinion Of the court is i'm his favor. to
devote every dollar of it to worthy
