t
ity, the Arabs are revolving against
Turkish rule in the province Of Yemen.
which stretches along the Red Sea
coast of tie Arabian peninsula for sew
eral hundred miles north of the British
state of Alden, the extreme south OF
the peninsula. For several years the
rebels have not only been winning
victories over the Turks, but holding
all they have gained. They have now
taken S;ana, the Turkish provincial
capital, and are receiving offers Of ad,
hesion from Arabs in all parts of the
peninsula -.e... CO.,
This is distinct addition to the
white mans burden" and is one c:
the signs CT the times. Our white
brother has another problem to solve
His spheres of influence are expert
encinr the fate Of Darius Green's fly
ing machine and his cutting and cary
ing in Asia has received it's quietus
China is wrenching his pocket-nerve
in a most reckless manner and there
is great danger that the Infection Will
spread to Southern Asia and perchance
Africa. All will be we'll if these things
teach our white brother to do justice
and love mercy.

COL bly, al says.
ASK any admirer of President
Roosevelt why he is popular and you
will find that it is due to his advocacy
or supposed advocacy, of principles
and policies that are Democratic
Nothing brought Mr.. Roosevelt more
applause during his first administra
ton than his settlement of the anthra
cite coal strike. And how did he set
tie it? By arbitration. Now, the
Democratic platforms of 1895 and 1900
demanded arbitration, while the Re-
publican platforms were silent on the
subject
Col. Bryan is a plausible reasOner
but he ignores the fact that the presi
dents popularity antedates his cleo
ton; so the explanation is unsatisfac
tory. And, moreover. one Mr.. Parker
was officially Endorsed as the exponent
of principles and policies which are
Democratic; but that fact utterly fail
ed to elect him president. Roosevelt
is popular because he stands for a
square deal for every man.

when a thoroughly organized movement
is working with malignant energy to
utterly destroy the civil and political
rights of those for whom we stand in
part as spokesman, it is necessary to
reaHrm and emphasize the following
principles fundamental in citizenship
and generally championed by all Afro.
EAmerican newspapers. T., ~.
We resent the reiterated statement
that this is white mans, country
for the Federal Constitution specifical'
ly places all of it's. citizens on equal
ity before the law. BY right of birth
and intense loyalty to the flag, the
Afro American claims his equal share
of American citizenship.
The persistent efforts which have
been made and are being made to null
ify the suffrage guarantees of the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments to
the Constitution are fraught with great
danger to the peace and security OF
the Union. We DO not believe that
the granting of suffrage to the race
was a mistake and we deny the
charge that it has proved failure
We affirm our belief in manhood suf.
frage without any educational or
property qualifications whatever, and
contend that the law-abiding man OF
good character, who does his duty as
a citizen and risks his life in defense
Of the flag, should not be deprived OF
not read or write.
In a republic there can be but one
kind of citizen, hence we deny the
right of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT,
t~ o+n in nv
way between citizens. We contend
that the enactment of any law which
specifies that the Afro-American must
be separated from and treated differ
emily from the great body Of citizens
is unjust and un-Amerlcan
We believe firmly in a thorough edu
cation of the head, heart and hand
The claim made by certain Southern
Caucasians that they gay the taxes
necessary toeducate the Southern Afro
Americans is an economic absurdity
and is only advanced by persons who
seek to befOg the public intelligence
We again direct attention to the Ii
cense of the mob. Mob law is a fea-
we'll being and perpetuity of society,
LQdu the lulidcllOuS VI Id w ny luu1E1u
uals.
We deplore the attitude of many
alleged Christian bodies on the race
question and the growing disposition
of alleged Christians to humiliate
and degrade the Afro-American. 1t
is an evidence of the decadence OF
true Christianity in the United States.
We heartily commend the brave and
patriotic position taken by President
Roosevelt in the enforcement of the
Federal Constitution and the laws bas-
ed upon it. His words and deeds stand
out in bold relief, in these times when
so many men in high places are false
to right principles and the best inter-
ests of the whole people.
We reaffirm our unalterable deter
mination to contend in all lawful ways
for every civil and political right which
is ours under the Federal Constitution.
and which is enjoyed without dispute
by all other ethnic elements OF the ma
tional citizenship.

One E. j. Bowen of Little Rock,
Ark in recent interview said ::
"The Afro.Americans in certain Sec
tons of the South are becoming slaves
of the cocaine habit" Mr.. Bowen S
statement is another instance of the
nonsensical recklessness of assertion
which is but little removed from &C
tual and intentional mendacity. 1t is
doubtless true that few Afro-Ameri-
cans, who indulge in cocaine may be
raked up and the same is true of white
people; but it is absolutely false to
assert that either race is largely adj
dicted to the use of the drug

SOUTHERN RAILROADS AND



For many years the railroads Of the
South did a land-office business by
working up excursions through the
agency Of one or more Oily-tOngued
Afro-Americans, who of course receiv-
ed a consideration proportional to his
or their success. The scheme worked
swimmingly and all Afro-American
dom was inoculated with the excur
sion virus. On such occasions the
baggage car was transformed into an
eating house and saloon, both of
which, especially the latter, were free
ly patronized. But finally the excur-
sions degenerated into shameless Or
g1es, and the decent class of Afro
Americans were compelled to boycott
the excursion and it fell into the hands
of the hummer class These eXcur-
siOns also proved to be great curse
to the planters and mill men; for
their hands could not resist the temp
tation5 thrown in their way by the
railroads. But SO long as the scheme
paid the railroads cared nothing for
the grievances Of the planter and mill
man. Since the scheme has played
out, however, the railroad men are
ture. and incidentally. are very much
worried over the worthlessness of the
AfrO-American laborer. One of these
high-minded, thoughtful individuals is
Mr. B. S. Thompson of the Southern
Railway, who is now Intensely inter-
ested in the scarcity of labor prob:
lens and who expresses himself to the
Atlanta Constitution as follows:
ut seems to be generally conceded
that the south must look further than
the Negro for the solution of the labor
question. These Negroes have been
given every opportunity but except in
the matter of some comparatively few
exceptions. they have demonstrated
their entire inability to cope with the
labor situation in this part of the
country. Perhaps 1 should say their
refusal rather than their inability for
the Negro work and has worked.
The trouble at present is he don't want
to work and won't"
So Mr.. Thompson proposes to in
augurate vast immigration bureau
which shall divert vast stream of
immigration to the South, via the
Southern Railway, the aforesaid South
to pay the expense of the Bureau
agents and employees. If the scheme
works the profits of the Southern
Railway are a sure thing but those
of the South are somewhat problema+
ical. Should the thing prove to be a
bonanza and the transportation COM
panies go into it in earnest, on the So
much ahead principle, it is probable
that the slums of Europe would be
raked with f1ne-toothed comb to Sc
cure immigrants. On the whole we
surmise that Mr.. Thompson's inter-
est in the labor problem is the direct
result of his interest in the Southern
Railway II. -. ~
