leges where laws forbid it, but just
so far as the letter of the law al.
lows they should claim the right to
be registered and to vote, and they
should press the matter that they
secure honest registration. Every
Negro that has the right to vote
should seek the privilege of voting,
and not be deferred by the expense
of the poll tax or the trouble of
securing his privilege. If his le-
gal rights are denied him he should
repeat the demand at every oppor
tunity, and use all his influence to
see that proper registrars are APP

Many Southern politicians are
showing disposition to try to re-
vive the race question in its full
fury of twenty years ago. That
last election showed pretty clearly
see the Maryland and Missouri
returns-that the race question as
a means of keeping worthless and
wicked political parasites IN Office
has about run it's course in the
North, The race question, bad
though it may be, is certainly in a
better state than it was fifty years
ago. For then the South was
morally, and it was in the way to
be industrially, PROSTATE under
the curse of slavery the slavery
is the most acute and dangerous
phase OF a race question. Time
and human sympathy will solve
the race question; the politicians
cannot help, And it is a happy

A Northern Mans Message.
Develop the Self-Respecing Element. William Hayes
Ward, L. L. D., Writes on the Subject in the
Voice of the Negro

The editors of The Voice of the
Negro have asked me for Ia mess
age to the Negro race of the twen-
tieth century" l do not know
that [ have any special message
for the Negro other than what [
would give, had the right, to any
other race. | am not in the habit
of segregating races. L suppose
the Lord deals with individuals
and [ prefer to do the same; furth-
er [ do not know that there is a
a separate Negro race in this coun-
try. inasmuch as the gradation is
so close between our various races.
| suppose | understand, however.
what is meant, and that by the
Negro it is meant to include null
titude who are as much Caucasian
as they are Negro, or even more.
1t is those who have been driven
into what may lie called caste to
whom you invite me to speak.
And first: What | say unto
all" ard what needs to be said ov-
er and over again-develop as far
as possible the self-respecting ele-
ment among the people of your
caste. This must be done by edu-
cation, by religion, by industry
and economy. Character tells,
money talks. Steady industry
and honest life are sure in the end
to gain recognition.
Second: | fear that the colored
people of culture and education in
the work to develop themselves
and to lift up the ignorant men,
bers of their class by missions,
schools, etc, have not found time
to give proper attention to the con-
troll and suppression of the more
irresponsible and worthless mem-
bers of their caste. These are
the ones that discredit the entire
body. There should be an infu-
euce exerted which would be a
very strong moral, if not physical
force to close up the nests of de-
pravity, which are to be found
among colored people, especially
in the cities. They should be re-
garded as the enemies of the race,
the worst enemies they have.
There is required a pretty force
full sort of mission work among
them. / do not know how this is
to be done, but | think it can be
largely done through the influence
of preachers, churches, teachers
and leaders generally. Dives and
drinking places should be cleaned
out and means used to support the
la land where the law is ineffec-
tive to make it effective.
Third: The colored people of
intelligence should steadily resist,
so far as can be done without too
much offense. all infractions on
their legal rights and laws which
limit our equal civil rights. They
cannot forcibly claim equal privi-
The Colorado statesman., 1905-01-28

But after all that can be said the
substance of it is character. If
the white people of the South all
had character and the Negroes all
had character there would be no
trouble. 1t is the vulgar, drunken.
worthless, ignorant white men and
the same sort of colored men that
make the fuss. The best white
men in the South, as in the North,
are your friends. They have not
any too much courage of their
opinions, but they are a growing
element. 1t is the loud meuthed.
noisy Negroes who have never
learned the quied restraint of la
dies and gentlemen that disgust
the people. Claim your rights at
every suitable opportunity and de-
serve them.

Cottonwood Falls, Kan, ,-Satur-
day night Rose Shipman, I year
old daughter of Bart Shipman, liv-
ing with her grandparents, Mr.. and
Mrs. George Crum, in Strong City
was taken from her bed at IL
O'Clock by man. who attempted
to outrage her. He took the
screen off the window of her room
and then took the window out Mr..
Crum had just returned from lodge
Mrs. Plummer, his daughter
heard a noise went into the room
and saw the child was gone.
They heard scream in the orchard
and ran out with a lantern. The
man let the child go and ran to-
wards the river the child says he
was a large white man. She was

When Will the Negro be Given a
Chance to be Man?

If we take for granted the state
ments as they appear in the differ
ept newspapers it seems as though
with all the ability and business
qualifications in some portion of
the country; it all stands for moth
ing. In Virginia, the Negroes
started an insurance business. In
order to stop them, a law was pass
ed raising the deposits for iusur-
ance companies in the state think
ing that the colored company
would be caught mapping, but the
boys were wide awake. So Just
keep on passing your laws; it on
ly spurs the Negro on. In Kan
sas after the election there was
great howl set up because Negro
was invited to the Kansas Day
bang uet. When will this outrage
stop. If the predominant race
would put up a stake and say to
us, work to that and then you can
be man; we would do that and be
satisfied. But it has been: get
bank accounts. The only thing
that has been done is to keep the
owner from starving. We have
bought farms and it is the same;
The Negro is being educated and
it is the same. Why not judge
him by his individual merit Why
not judge him by his individual
worth, and by his individual merit.
Why couple him with any other
Negro because he is black?
Solomon says: My brother
hated me because | was black"
The South rejected DR.. Crum for
three years because of his color.
Not that he was not a gentleman
nor incompetent. They said he
was Negro and thought that was
enough and ought to settle it.
1t is sin and curse. Right
eousness exalth nation, but sin
is a curse to a show down some
day
The thought that is coursing its
way through my mind, is, how can
the senators and congressman be
so interested about the interstate
commerce law about freight, hogs
and cattle and the Shipping of coal
and merchandise, and they say
nothing about the lin crow" car
and the Negro huddled up in one
dirty car, and paying first class
fare. 1t is shame on any nation
that will tolerate such, and then
in time of war ask the same, re-
jected and despised race to take
up arms in her defense. If one
would glance at Spain, and Russia
in her struggle and then look at
this truly great nation with her
millions of crimes, it would cause
the truly good friends of this great
country to shiver with shame and
dismay. Buxton Gazette.
