THE WHITE MANS ONLY PARTY

Senator Morgan wants the next
National Democratic platform to
declare that "the Democratic
party is, and has always been, a
white mans party" The New
York World argues that there is
no occasion for further advertising
a fac so familiar. The Philadel-
phia Record says: "The failure
of the negro voters of the country
to divide on lines that serve to
divide white voters has been the
strongest argument against negro
suffrage. A vote mainly controlled
by sentiment or prejudice, and
for that reason affected by the
reasons involved in political con-
tests, constitutes an element of
real danger" 1t is well known
that the Democratic party is q
white mans party. 1t is equally
well known that the Republican
party is, if not negro party, the
only party which caters to the
negro vote. It's interest in him is
purely political, and the mask of
pretense and hypocrisy it wears is
so thin 1t conceals nothing. The
negro knows that he can receive
no political favor or consideration
from the Democratic party. 1t is
and prefers to be a white mans
party exclusively. This fact is
one great source of it's strength in
the South, and some day it will
materially add to it's strength in
other sections.

the VALUE OF a SMILE.

'sI wonder" remarked bust
ness man, according to the Bir-
mingham News, "if anyone ever
stops to consider the value of a
smile? No, am not going to preach
insane platitudes and inflict you
with the be cheerful maxims you
are tired of listening to, but my
attention was called to this partic-
ular line of though by seeing to-
day young woman whose face
was familiar to me, bat who for
the instant ] conld not recall.
Then all IN a moment | remem,
bered haYing some business to
attend to in an attorneys office
about six months ago. He was
not there, but young woman, the
stenOgrapher, | Judged, arose from
her desk and explained briefly his
absence. She smiled, a winning
smile of such sweetness which well
matched her low, clear tones. She
thereupOn informed me at just
what hour he would return, and
because of her seeming business
ability simply spared myself the
necessity of calling again by leav-
ing the business to her. / was
convinced she would state it to the
lawyer as concisely as [ could,
which, by the way, she did, as he
later informed me. There was an
air about that young woman of
such innate refinement and her
very method of expressing herself
was so business like and concise
that | had unCOnsciOusly taken a
mental picture of her. [ recalled
thinking what an invaluable adj
junct to the business of that office
she must be with her thorough
knowledge of her duties. Later
[ had occasion to make a call at
the government building, where I
found her installed in place of
trust. Her mastery of her bust
ness and her ability had won a
rapid reward. And her po1se in
addressing the strangers who call
ed had doubtless been a factor in
her advancement. She was a liv-
ing embodiment of the value of a
smile when backed by good bust
ness sense"
