Il fear we are compelled to face the
conclusion that the experiment has
failed. The suffrage has been taken
away from the black man is most of
the states In which he composes the
larger part of the population. The
black man in the South. generally.
no longer has practically the tight 10
suffrage.

when the overwhelming dominant
white opinion will sasceed in exclud-

so. the country has to face the fail
ure OF the plan formulated at the close
OF the war TO elevate the black man
by comforting the suffrabe upon him.

"A curious development has been
seen within the past year. President
Roosevelt has appointed fewer black
men than President Mckinley, and
there are to-day fewer black men
holding Office than when Mckinley
died. Yet loud outcries are to be
heard In the South about President
Roosevelt's policy OF appointing blacl:
men to Office In the South. Under
previous Presidents. Mckinley. Cleve-

Office and nothing was said.
"A black man attended an official re-
ception in Washington at the White
house n short time ago. The black
man. as official OF the government, had
always attended these receptions. Yet
the invitation of the President to
these men was the signal for an out
cry Of a thousand papers in the south
that the whites were being insuitci.
For an instant. after the Secretary
OF War had finished a hush fell upIl
the audience. Then the applause was
fairly deafening. 1t continued for at
least two minutes, swelling all tie
time. and finally broke out into
vociferous cheers.
The occasion was the fOrtlcih ami
versary OF the founding oi the club.
Around Mr.. Root on the platform in
the large hall OF the club sat fifteen
OF the thIrty-two survivors of the 53i

upon the wealthy, based upon envy
and jealously. Every good citizen
should make his protest and set his
face against II and make It certain that
in this country OF ours we shall have
no war Of classes.
"A second problem is a tendency to
check individual enterprise and devel-
opment. The chance that every poor
boy has BY his own efforts. bis indus

foundation Of our liberty.
