Arming the Negro with the Ballot
Has Proved a ''Dlsastr0uS Fail. 3
t.re'',,zssys Thomas Nelson s.ss-S
Page.

AS the realization is becoming more
common that the "experiment" which
was entered on with so much enthusi-
asm a generation ago, of arming the
Negro with "the weapon" of the ballot,
has proved disastrous failure, it is
also gradually being recognized that
the kind of education on which so
much money, both from public taxa
tion and from private philanthropy,
has been lavished, and so much care
has been expended, has not only failed
to bring about the results which had
been expected, but has, SO far as the
great body of the race is concerned,
been an absolute failure. The Negroes
at large and the doctrinaires will not
accept this, but tits recognized by those
who know the Negro best and have
sufficient breadth of knowledge to look
at things as they are. The sanest and
most broad-minded among the Negro
leader of today has recognized it, and
the foundation Of his success is his rec
ognition of 1.-THE recognition of it by
him and the recognition of it by the
whites of the South, who have, because
OF it, sustained him by their sympathy
and their aid. It is because of this
that he has become the best proof of
what the Negro race at it's best may
produce, and is the most unanswerable
argument adduced since the war of the
value of Negro education.
He believes that the Negroes at large
should be taught, first of all, to work;
and that they should begin by being
made trained laborers and skilled ar
tisans, and that then they will develop
themselves. This principle, though
sound, is strongly attacked by a con-
siderable element among the more ad-
vanced Negroes. And tho riot in the
Boston church in July last, when the
Principal of Tuskegee spoke on the
industrial training of the Negro, was
precipitated by I an educated element
who believe in agitation rather than in
Principal Washington's pacific and ra-
tional methods. The latter asserts that in
the, main, the education Of the Negroes
as hitherto conducted, has not been
generally a success. Those who espouse
the otherview assert, on the. contrary,
that the education has been a success
and that the Negro is the equal Of the
white. And to prove their. case they
use red. pepper and .razors. From
