FAILURE, SAYS ROOT
Secretary of War Talks Of En-
franehising the Negro.
quires the Greatest Thought of the
Greatest aiads-Div sion Between
Rich ano Poor.

New. York, Feb. THE fortieth
anniversary of the Union League club
was celebrated at the club house
last night by a reception rendered to
the survivors of those wha joined the
club in 1868. Elihu Root, the secre-
tary of war, was the chairman of the
reception committee. Secretary
Root congratulated the veterans of
the club upon having woven
thread into the fabric OF the great
life of this country" There are,'' he
added, smany problems coming up
to-day on which the safety Of this
government depends. There are to-
day situations of possible evils for
our country that call for devoted pa
triotism. First, division between the
rich and the poor, under which
wealth controls legislation and pow
erty is trying to stir up a war of
classes. but every good titizen should
declare that never in this free land
shall we have a war of classes.
There are some labor organizations
which fight against the better man
doing more work than the poorer
man and hold down the competens
man to the level of the incompetent
and stupid. I do not declare war
against labor organizations; I be-
ieve in them. The 1aborer is emit
tied to organize to get his own.
"After the civil war the great ques-
ton was What shall we do with the
black MANI and the answer was
Give him citizenship, equal rights,
end he win rise Three amendments
We're added to the constitution and
I fear we will have to face the con-
clusiono that the experiment has
failed. The suffrage has been taken
away from the negro, and in many of
the southern states the black man no
longer has the right OF suffrage.
We can never throw off the response
bility that rests on our people for
the welfare of these black people
that we held in slavery for so many
generations. Now that the first at
tempt has failed, the question is
what to do, and it should take the
greatest thought of the greatest
minds of the country"
