there are contradictory reports IN
the newspapers as r the future policy
Of the President with respect to the
south. The New Ytfl Times p.ophe-

removing the strong feeling he has
sroused in this section by conforming
Ia The ideas that prevail here. Some
little countenance has been given +,
MS guess by The announcement that
AZ a DAY in January. he would deliver
an address a; Atlanta and pay visit

taat the president proposes no quarter
as to the race question; that he has

doubt he is speaking by the card tho

This is not 10 say though that the
south, except the colorcd people Of
the south. wll be glad TO hear the
presidents doctrine preached Nj
Loupp states this to be SIMPLY that
the negro shal' have the same fair
chance as an, other man. This is a
plausible sentence. but what does it
mean? Are we to take it that the
negro race has the same fair chance
al the north a. the other man and that
tie president IS merely anxious to en-
force the northern ideal upon tho
south It is notoriously untrue at the
north that The negro is given an

What then does the propaganda Of

midst by appointing negroes on the
theory that they are as sood or better
