The President and the Negro.

The late President Mckinley
distinguished his administration
by abandoning the Negro" in pol
itics and endeavoring to develop
white mans Republican party
in the South. This fact has al.
most been forgotten during the
past four years of Roosevelt ad-
ministration, on account of the
substantial reversal by Mr.. Roose-
velt of his predecessors program.
A sensational incident at the
White House and troubles in con-
nection with some Negro appoint
ments to office completely ended
Mr.. McKinley's work, and brought
forth the president as the most eff
fective and courageous champion
of the political rights of the color
ed race that we have had for years.
The Roosevelt position, as then
understood, was splendidly defined
in that striking passage in Secre-
tary Bonaparte's speech:
The Republican party has ever
held with Voltaire that a good cit
izen needs no grand fathers; like
Abraham Lincoln, it believes not
in castles or oligarchies or privi-
legged classes; like Theodore
Roosevelt, it demands a square
deal at the polls as elsewhere
for every man, whatever his
ancestry. If citizen be
shown by experience unfit to vote
and righteously, let him be denied
the suffrage because of this indi.
ual unfitness, not because of his
race or tongue or birthplace, mol
because his grandfather was this
or was not that.-Spring6eld Re

brief ceremony in the assembly hall,
in which the students participated.
This consisted in the singing of a
number of sings especially written for
the occasion. The last one, entitled
"You Are All Right. Teddy" caused
the President to smile broadly. The
President said:
MY friends, let me say what pleas
ure it has been in driving along the
streets to have the governor and the
mayor point out to me house after
house owned by colored citizens, who
by their own industry, energy and
thrift, had accumulated small for

What l say to this body of my col
ored fellow citizens is just what
would say to any body of my white fel-
low citizens. What we need in this
country is typified by what | have
been shown to-day as having been done
by the people of your race.

ing today. | like it all including the
last song. Do your very best to de
velop good teachers, to develop good
preachers, preachers who shall preach
to the colored man as it should be
preached to the white man. The bulk
have got to be men engaged in the
trades as mechanics, as wage workers
as farmers. Every man who is good
farmer, thrifty, progressive, saving
mechanic who owns his own home
which is free from debt; who is bring
ing up his children well and keeping
his wife as she should be kept, is not
only a first-class citizen. but is doins

crime. especially against crime by men
of your own race for the heaviest wrong

own race. Let each man strive to excel
his fellows only by rendering substantial
service to the community in which he
lives.
The colored people have many diff
culties to pass through. but these diff
culties will be surmounted If only the
policy of reason and common sense is
pursued.
Destiny of the South.

Duties of white Men.
Merely from the economic standpoint
It is of the utmost consequence to all
our citizens that institutions such this
at Tushegee should be success. But
there are other and even higher reasons
that entitle 1t to our support. In the in
terest of humanity. of justice and of self
protection. every white man in America,
no matter where he lives. should try to
help the negro to help himself. 1t is In
the interest and for the protection of
the white man to see that the negro is
educated.
1t is not only the duty of the white
man. but 1t is to his interest to see that
the negro is protected in property, in life
and in all his legal rights. Every time
a law is broken. every individual in the
community has the moral tone OF his life
