The theory Of democracy is that self
respect and self-contro1 are fostered by
political training and participation IN
government. Is the theory less true IN
the case of black than of a white
man2
The Post Dispatch has deprecated the
raising of the race issue in the south.
But which course tends to raise the is
sue-that of the president. who follows
precedent, making character, fitness
ability, regardless of color. the tests of
qualification, and who would give the
blacks fair political recognition upon
this basis; or that of his opponents who
demand that the color line be drawn and
that the negroes be debarred from all
political recognition and participation in
government?
The Post Dispatch deprecates the
fomenting of discord between whites
and blacks. But who is fomenting dis
cord-the president who would treat the
negro with justice and open the door of
opportunity to him, or extremists like
Tillman who distort facts and twist
logic in appeals to prejudice and pas
sion; who would deprive the negro OF
opportunity and crush his aspirations
The reasonable spirit in which the
president asks the honest judgment of
the southern people on his record and
attitude must suggest to fair minded
men an unprejudiced and rational con-
sideration of the facts and arguments
he submits. Does he not represent the
side of reason and the spirit of Democ-
racy?
The southern people have the greatest
interest in the right solution of the ne
gro question. They have the strongest
reasons to consider what shall develop
the Negroes self-control and self-respect;
what shall make him a better man. and
a more useful citizen. what shall pro-
mote the peace, progress and security
of the communities in which he is a fac
tor. They should think on these things.

value, and the rate of taxation would
be corres pondingly low.
A member stated recently that the tax
rate IN his county was above nine cents
on the dollar, but the assessed valuation
is only one-fourth of the real value.
Suppose man from another state,
which assesses at real value. were con-
sidering the Investment of $4,000 in that
county. and he should find that the tax
rates were nine cents on the dollar. The
chances are that he would Immediately
cali off his deal Unless it should be ex-
planned to him that his valuation would
be only $780, he would naturally think
that the tax on an Investment Of $4,000
would be $500 a year.
Would It not be far better to assess
property at its real value. so that the
rate of taxation can be made cores
pondingly low? In the county referred
TO this would reduce the rate to "a
cents on the dollar. and the man with
the $4,000 investment would know that
his tax would be just $3.50.
The only idea urged against assess
ment at the true value of property is
that it viii require a radical readjust-
ment of levies. This argument loses its
force from the fact any factional valu-
alton which IS made general over the
state win do the same thing. At pres
ent property is assessed al all the way
from one-sixth to one-half its actual
value.
In some counties the rate of taxation
is already well up to the limit, and it is
necessary to keep the basis assessment
also high. To compel these counties to
make their levy on a basis OF one
fourth OF actual value. would be to pro-
hibit them from raising all the money
they need to carry on county and NUM-
cipal governments.
There is little danger that county
commissioners or city councils will
make the levy so high as to raise more
money than is needed. For these rea-
sons it is to be hoped that the new tax
law win compel an assessment at
actual value.

The Preaident,a Letter.

POSt-DiSpa
President Roosevelt's letter to Clark
Howell of the Atlanta Constitution is
temperate, but clear and convincing,
statement in justification of his course.
The president dismisses the cry of
social equality or negro domination
because of the appointment of a few
negroes to Office, as absurd. He invites
searching investigation of his appoint
ment record and of his appointees. He
says that he has appointed fewer ne
groes than any of his Republican pre-
decessors and, not ignoring local senti-
ment, has made character, fitness, abil-
lty the prime tests of qualification for
office Pointing out that the proportion
Of negro to white offfcehOlders in the
south is about one to 100, Mr.. Roosevelt
thus defines his platform:
I certainly cannot treat mere color as
a permanent bar to holding Office any
more than 7 could SO treat creed or
hirthplace-always provided that IN 9TH
er respects the applicant or incumbent
is worthy and wen behaved American

REMEMBER QUE Own.

The Kansas legislature has this week
passed two bills Of particular interest
to those devoted to the preservation of
the historical memories of this state.
The recollection of the lives and activ-
tiles of John J. ingalls, and Charles
Robinson are certainly properly des-
cribed as historical memories. Both
these men made at least a part of their
lives a part of the history Of the state:
one at n time which few of US remem-
ber the other but a little while ago.
1T is particularly fitting that the In
gals bust should have . place in the
rotunda of the capitol. 1t is equally
fitting that Charles Robinson's statue
should fill a niche in the dome of the
state house. And the people of this
state viii never have occasion to re-
greet the erection of these small testi-
monials of regard.
Other states have done better things
for their great men. Kansas has been
niggardly in the recognition of the
honor due hers but the beginning
must be made somewhere and later
years viii doubtless see these two
small acts of respect outdone.

Of the fourteen manufacturing divisions
into which these returns are separated
were there extensive increases compared
with last year. The chief rise was in
iron, which was due TO a single large
failure in New Jersey. There was also
a considerable increase in manufactures
Of leather on account of one large shoe
factory in Maine. In no case was there
a large increase in number of failures,
while in many branches the liabilities
fell far below last years. This was par
ticularly notable in machinery, and
would have been still more striking but
for a single heavy default in New York
of a wagon wheel manufacturer. Other
large decreases in liabilities compared
with last year occurred in woolens, lum-
Der and liquors. especially the latter,
which made a remarkably good exhibit
this year.

BASIS or AssEssmENr

AT this writing the chances seem to
be good for the passage of tax bill of
some kind. 1t is quite possible that it
win not depart far from the plan out
lined by the state tax commission. but
some amendments to the commission
bill will be made.
Whatever may be done in the matter,
it is to be hoped that the new bill viii
not provide for a fractional valuation in
making assessments. The only equita-
BILE basis for assessment is at the full
cash value. Such basis shows the
assessed valuation Of a town or county
at what it actually is For instance. it
would show the assessed valuation Of
Topeka at s21 100000 or more, instead Of
S5.250l0O0, as would be the case if the
assessment were at one-fourth the real
