MR.. MLAURIN ON NEGRO QUESTION
Senator Says Settle His Educational and
Industrial Status First.

Senator John J. McI.aurin of South Carolina at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday talked at length
on the problem in the South. The Senator,
elected to the Senate Democrat, by his indie
pendence and actions has been practically ostra-
cized by the Democracy of Timan and his follow
ers in South Carolina.
The Reconstruction period" he said. was
time that tried every one. II was saturnalia of
corruption. After Lincoln was assassinated the
enfranchisement OF the negro and the carpet bag
era became possible In 1876 the people. under the
leadership OF General Wade Hampton, rose up and
overthrew the government. When his government
was recognized tried to safeguard white su-
premacy by the Ballot law. which was, in effect.
an educational qualification. take South
Carolina example because the case Oh
other Southern States is similar The sentiment
and intelligent opinion of the SCUM seem 10 me 10
he willing to accord the negro his political and
civil rights The new constitution restricting suf-
frace should be equitably enforced The negro
should receive in the courts and elsewhere ms
rights as a citizen. When it comes TO matters OF
social kind however, meet a different aspect
ANY infringement that line VIII create an an
taponisno that will initiate against the efforts OF
the negro's true friends for advancement. Booker
T Washington has received the support OF the pest
eople of the South because he processes to be Tor
the advancement of the negro industrially and
educationally He continually advises them TO
keen out of politics for the present and leave
social matters alone. II is on that basis and that
basis alone that he will receive the support OF the
Southern people The only way to settle the negro
question in my opinion. is settle his educational
and Industrial first, and the social question
will settle itself later. The question must be
settled by people of both races in the South.
and cannot be adjusted around Northern fresides
by mistaken theorists.
The trouble with the negro in politics does not
much from the South, where they are
numerous. as in Pennsylvania. New-Jersey, Ohio
and Indiana, where they the balance of power,
and appointments are made to carry them over
This trucking TO the negro is an unhealthy sign.
Federal ohiceholders in Southern cities should be
chosen from the best business interests, and not
for political reasons l think that the President
has made a mistake in bringing to the front the
social feature, that revives the whole question
when We had looked upon it settled. [ do not
doubt the Presidents good intentions. but think
he approached the matter from the wrong point of
