Roosevelt denounceS and abuses the
South for it's hangings of bloody, cruel
british blacks for raping pure white
women and children. The Weekly
says further: What we would here
indicate, however. is that. in the new
negro crime, we behold the fructifica-
ton of the idea planted in the minds
of colored men during the reconstruc-
ton period, an idea which we cannot
expect to see instantaneously uproot-
ed, merely because the Northern radi-
calls who planted it have begun sim
Cerely to repent of having done So
Some one says there were but two
instances of negro rape of white
women in two hundred years or more
that preceded the great war. The
North is responsible for the domin-
ancy of the devilish crime-nay. for
it's very existence, and it is beginning
to reap some of the baleful fruits of
it's own planting. Harper" is right
IL saying that the negroes respected
the whites prior to the war-that it
was 'ingrained and general" 1t says
this, and it is worth copying, that
1.-The crime which we call new did not
exist in the Northern States either,
until very recently, although for many
generations the negro there had borne
proportion to the whites that he bears
now"
The North has turned loose the
black devil and it should quickly aid
the South in stamping it out, in ending
its reign of crime, and barbaric cruel
ties. The very peace of the South,
the safety of the negro race, the per-
manent prosperity of both races de-
pend upon the cessation, the eXtirpa-
ton of the greatest crime against civ
ilization, society and life. Instead of
giving foolish. vain. impairment. ig-
norant advice to the South, let the
North give hearty support to all
remedial movements. Let it repeal
the bad. ubiquitous laws that brought
on the internal deviltry, and quit
playing the political demagogue to
secure the negro vote by advocating
/ continuance of wrong, of bad
laws. and trying to dictate to the great
AngloSaXon white manhood of our
Southland. Let the foolish talk of
such men as President Eliot, of Har-
ward cease, and the crankism of Hig
ginson and his tribe be crushed.
Since writing the above. DR.. James
F., Boyle of the University of Wiscon-
sin, writes in the Boston Arena" in
a very direct, positive, significant way
that may disturb the feelings and
freshly arouse the prejudices of Eliot,
iHigginSon, Long, Lodge, ct id omne
genus. He simply and irrverently pro-
claims that the outrageous Fifteenth
Amendment was failure, has not
been Justified He says it has
wrought far more harm than good"
Yea, verify! He says the first object
of the action was to punish. the
rebels" and in this alone did the ac-
cursed amendment succeed. He is
kind enough-note-to admit that the
rebels have had sufficient punish
ment." Very true, Mr.. Westerner!
Quite enough, surely! and, it was the
inspiration of his Satanic Majesty,
doubtless, that sent it. He comedies
that it lost the Republican party sew
eral Northern States and the whole
South. He is even broad enough to
admit in 1904, after thirty-nine years
Of peace--that now Intelligent men
are better able to legislate for their
own welfare than are ignorant (ne-
groes) men for them. Very late. but it
is never too late to mend, even in
rotten politics. He continues his late
in-the-day admissions: 1T failed,
worse than failed, to educate the ne
gro in good citizenship" As Bill
Snipes would say-"Thar now" or as
the New England philosopher and
meow" He tells the truth-that
Sambo was diversified with RESPONSE
bility-that he held an office which
he could not fill, and he found that
he had "the right to barter and sell
his vote The scales are falling from
some eyes in the great North. But,
oh, how very long it has taken for the
purgation to come! Hear him of
Sambo: HE Immediately fell into

rottenness and corruption he (Sambo)
became a plastic tool with marvellous
AGILITY. If this was the education he
needed, God save the mark" But
that is the very education" he receiv-
ed, and he became proficient Speedi-
iy, and was decorated with lhonors and
,itles-A NJ, NJ. D., DID,, NJ. c., and

binet officer or Vice-President even.
Then the belated Doctor in Wisconsin
says, and / indorse it with "miration"
or protest. "Since the negro lost both
ballot and friends throughout the
South, we must pronounce this expert
ment in political science an unqualified
failure. The right to the ballot is the

does take some people so very long to
find out the truth of things, political
demagoguery and fanaticism and folly
included. One more citation from the
knowing Professor: THE negro

his liberators from the North were
blessed saviors to him, and that his
former master" { q humane, consider

if he could. Thus, race prejudice was
fostered, and the South was given her
