starts on a new era of usefulness.
The fixed designation of the race
by the words colored or Negro
was a subject of debate upon the
passage of the bill. After some dis
cussion the word colored " was
stricken out and the word NEGRO
inserted as the proper designation
of the race. There is no real OBJ
lection to the use of this term when
it is spelt with a capital IN.
1t ought to be made to mean
something honorable when found
in print or used to classify certain
people. Another honorable piece OF
legislation enacted was the payment
of $4,000 to the heirs of Samuel
Lee, Negro elected to the national
legislature from South Carolina
during reconstruction days, but
who was never allowed to take his
seat in that body. This amount was
in payment for his salary and ac-
acknowledgement of the legality OF
his election. The measure received
the united opposition of the South
ern congressman for years, but was
finally passed by strategy of the
Speaker of the House and Repubh-
can representatives. The Warner
Foraker amendment to the rate bill
the most important peice OF legis-
lation passed during the session was
removed before its passage. This
amendment would have national
lied Jim crowism," but the bill
as passed has no further reference
to the race. President Roosevelt
extols the work of the last Congress
as the most important in history of
the nation, as the results accom-
plished was purely in the interest
of the people The legislation en-
acted was the following: Meat in
spection, pure food bill, denatured
alcohol, consular reform measure,
Panama canal Legislation, the joint
statehood bill, naturalization and
railroad rate bills. The race traduc-
ers and villifers found little oppor-
tunity to hawk their goods in the
last session. One of the short stock
representatives from Kentucky and
Pitchfork Tillman got off few
pyrotechnics, but the illumination
from their fireworks lost their eff
fects in the more serious work of
the body and the public was spared
the faring red head line newspaper
displays of the Negro problems. In
the new questions pressing for set
tlement the perennial Negro agita-
ton ought to be permitted to retire
from the limelight and the greater
question of the greatest good to the
people be made the issue of the
hour.
