complaint against Booker Wishing
ton, and the colored people indors-
ed his remarks by their applause.
1t was the usual attack: Mr.. Wash
ington had been ''currying favor
with the whites" under his leader
ship "the negroes had been dis
franchised in seven States, and even
during the rae. riots of the South
the peerless leacsr had not seen fit
to raise haGl, sud now 10, ,OOo, 600
negroes arc pay ng for his blum
ders."
The trouble is that the Northern
negroes have expected Washington
to become a semi-poGtical Moses to
lead them out of the land of social
bondage; a great warrior TO win
their battles by some mysterious
power; a statesman so overwhelm-
ing as to influence all the policies
of the Southern States. They ap-
pear actually TO believe that he
could have prevented disfranchise-
ment and Jim Crow" laws down
there, had he tried. 1t is an entire
misconception of the man and his
mission in life.
Booker Washington is doing a re-
markable work for his race. He is
turning out men and women of use
full accomplishments and high char
acter. His influence is ever for a
real, a practical power among
negroes; the power of thrift, in
dustry, culture, and good citizen
ship. This leaven cannot fail to be
working among the colored folk of
the South, else were all training
vain. It is less noisy and spectacu-
lar thar denouncing legislatures
and melting to hatred, but it is far,
far more useful 10 this land and all
its people than would be the vain
strivings Rev. Mr.. Norris and his
followers seem tO desire.

LOcaliZing National Politics.

When campaign funds get scarce,
as they are going to do pretty soon,
campaigns viii be run on a new
plan, The tendency 10 Capitalization
has been as strong in politics as in
industry. a national campaign is a
huge business enterprise. Modern
methods have converged authority
and power and means in politics as
in industry. The national Republican
committee is 10 national politics
just about what the executive board
of the Steel trust is to the steel in
dustry.
Money is to be scarcer, in politics.
Many interests that have found ii
worth while TO contribute in the
past viii not be able to figure a
profit in doing so hereafter. Others
Will not be allowed TO give. Wheth-
er law is passed on the subject this
session, it win be passed in the near
future. Public opinion viii force it.
Then Will come a revolution in po-
litical methods. Instead of the ma

organizations viii take back some
of the importance that has been
absorbed by the national. The Con-
gresham from the 'steenth district,
when he finds the situation bad.
viii no longer send a hurry-up call

and money and experts provided. He
viii hustle around and make an or

having speakers of national repute
rushed into his bailiwick to SPELL
bind his folks with appeals on be-
half of the national party, the Con
gresham will have 10 get right
down to brass tacks and particular
issues in which mis- people are close
ly interested. He will have to make
good on his own account, on his own
record.
The interest of the party" which
has been made to cover many a sin,
VIII have less weight than ever be-
fore. Mr.. Congressman will have to
tell his neighbors just what he, per-
sonally, has been doing, and why;
and he'll have TO make them believe
it, too.
Instead of a great political trust
hereafter dominating national con-
tests, management will be turned
over to local political corporations.

than by 1.-The distinguished gentle

politics viii get a good deal closer
TO the people who have TO do the

literature, organization, and all that
sort sort of thing. The people will
get their information from the
press, and vii. reach their conclu-
sions with more independence than
ever before. It will be o good thing.
