Watch This.

Samuel Gompers, the head OF
the American Federation of Labor,
recently announced that the feder-
alton intended entering national
politics, not as a distinct party,
but would support men who gave
evidence or promises of friendli-
ness to the causes the federation
espouses.
In opening their campaign, the
executive council has adopted and
promulgated the following declara-
ton:
1--WE reaffirm as one of the cardi.
nal principles of the trade union
movement that the working peo-
pie must unite and organize, ire
spective of creed, color, sex, ma
tionality or politics"
Commenting on this the IWash-
ington Star (white) says:
"Mark the word of color Or
ganized labor has itself shitherte
dawn the color line. Does it now
favor the organization of colored
laborers for political purposes
And will it cooperate with them
for political ends? If so it can
hope for help from that source on
ly in the debatable sections; and
there again the Republicans may
suffer. The Negro is not a voter
in the South, and is not likely to
be in this generation. He is barr.
ed from the polls, either by. state
constitutions or by prrty arrange
ments which operate to. bar him
Labor as distinct factor in oul
politics means a good deal, but the
details of its activities have yet to
be worked out"

in the highest degree, with mutual
feelings of uplift, respect and

Some Facts About the Negro.

Negroes form IL per cent of the
total population of the United
States Ninety per cent of them
live in the South, where they form
one-third of the population. Eigh-
ty per cent of them live in rural
districts or in small towns.
Mulattoes form from a ninth to
a sixth of them according to loca-
ton. Beginning in 1860 with an
illiteracy of almost 100 per cent,
this proposition has been dreceas-
ed to A per cent for the country
at large, and to 4S per cent in the
South.
Notwithstanding the improve
ment in percentage of educated
Negroes. there are actually more
illiterate today Georgia, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi. Louisiana
Arkansas and the district of Col
umbia than there were in 1860
The explanation lies in the in
crease in population. In 1876 the
Negro population was 100000
in 1900 it was S,S00,0O0.
The majority of the leaders OF
the colored people are mulattoes
and over so per cent of the stu.
dents at the leading schools fol
Negroes are mixed blood. But
the Hampton investigators, from
whose records the above facts are
taken, say that this does not prove
any inherent superiority i'll the
mulatto.- but is due to the advan
tages he has received by reason oi
his mixed blood.

BOOKER T. WASHINGTON
Visits Western University at Quinda-
ro Kansas.

Many distinguished visitors
have come to Western University
in the past but never before was it
honored as last Friday afternoon
when Booker T. Washington of
Tuskegee, the greatest living Ne
gro in the world, visited the insti-
tuition, inspected the departments,
grounds and buildings and lectur-
ed to the students for half an
hour in the new auditorium of the
Trades building.
At the local post Office the Uni
versity Concert band met the line
OF carriages which contained the
distinguished visitor, Bishop A.
Grant. the trustees and many local
notables. Heading the procession,
the l1znd playing Hail to the
Chief Dr. Washington, Bishop
Grant and party entered the cam
pus and were Immediately shown
about the buildings.
In his lecture to the students he
urged them to be proud of their
race; to be not discouraged at
small beginnings, at poverty that
may surround them, at prejudice
but to use these apparent hinder
ances as aids to climb higher. He
urged them to leave the destruct-
i've city life, buy homes in the
country, raise poultry, hogs, fruit
add produce for the market as we'll
as to real healthy, intelligent, in
dustrious families for the uplift OF
the race. Said he did not decry
higher education, but rather en-
couraged every Negro to learn
evely profession, every art, every
industry, all college and university
training that any other race had
learned and even to excel them in
it. But for the great bulk of the
10 millions of Negroes in America
he believed, as every other race in
same condition has had to do, that
the Negro must lay the foundation
for the race in agriculture, and the
mechanical arts and Industries,
then the upper tents, the profes-
sional classes of the race will have
field upon which to grow and
prosper. He said the prejudice
would disappear as the Negroes
acquired homes, bank accounts
and business enterprises. Finally
he urged the students to become
masters of some one occupation sc
as to do it better than anyone else
in their home communities.
After the lecture, President Yer.
non, at his beautiful residence
which commands an excellent view
and overlooks the. Missouri river
and the shores of both Kansas and
Missouri. entertained DIR. Wash.
ington at special dinner given in
his honor, at which were present
besides the distinguished world.

The American people have gone
clean, crazy drunk on the Negro
Question" By American people
we mean that portion of our citi-
zenry which styles itself Anglo
Saxon.
Take up newspaps-~o maga-
zine and there is sure to be found
theirin something on the Negro.
Attend a public meeting, let it be
political, religious, educational or
what not and the Negro comes in
/ for full and free discussion.
Up North, there lives once
good old Abolistionist, Union VET
eran and friend. of the Negro
Charles Francis Adams, of Massa-
chusetts. Mr.. Adams has, in the
language of the street, money to
burn, and he has with his treasur-
ers of money treasure of know
ledge which all men do not possess.
Mr.. Adams has spent some of that
money travelling in Africa, where
he has been studying the Negro on
his native heath.
The result of these studies and
observations Mr.. Adams has given
to the world through the medium
of the Century Magazine, in which
he comes to the conclusion that
there is an everlasting difference
between the Negro and the white
"a difference SO great, that the
superiority of the white man over
the black man is as London is to
Omdurman. Mr.. Adams even
goes SO far az to say that the
American Negro has had his
chance, and if left to himself
would drift back into savagery.
Mr.. Adams has reached his three
score years and ten, and is yet in
the full possession of all those
mental powers that make for good
high thought. Yet, with all the
accumulated knowledge of those
years why should he go to Africa
to study conditions Of the Ameri-
can Negro? Africa is in no sense
of the word, the place to study an
American. no more so than are the
mines of Siberia, with all their
horrors, the place to study the
prosperous American Jew.
To truly study the American
Negro, one must visit him in his
comfortable homes, in his schools
and colleges. in his churches and
in the various industrial and finan-
cial enterprises which are the crea-
tions of his own hand and head.

that in his forty years up from

Leavenworth, Kan, April Is
What promises to become lively
row has started in the high school
here over the fact that a colored
girl is entitled to the honors of
valedictorian, standing at the head
of a class of A. The graduates
have attempted to elect a valedic-
torian and salutatorian, not want
ing the colored girl to lead in grad

There has been some talk of sep

The Hot Springs Echo says:
AT Melville, Ark, April 4th, Ne
gro lad 16 years old, was arrested
for addressing young white girl
while the latter was passing
through small thicket of woods
on the outskirts of the city. Be
fore the officers placed the boy in
Jail a mob took charge of him for
the purpose of carrying out an i'm
mediate lynching. While discussing
plans to this effect, the boy made
dash for liberty and escaped. He
was re arrested the following morn
ing by posse of officers six miles
from the point of his escape. For
the second time the mob took
charge of the prisoner and took
him off. Then they fired several
shots at him and left him for dead.
After the departure of the mob, he
united the moose about his neck
and, although badly shot through
the leg and arm, managed to creep
to several Negro houses TO beg for
shelter. For the second time he
has escaped and his Whereabouts
is unknown. This affair is one of
the most heartless and dastardly
that ever occurred in this section
and the lack of humanity and JUS
tice manifested by the Melville
mob shooting young boy as they
would a beast without even being
certain of criminal intent on his
part is truly appalling and adds
another blot of disgrace upon the
name of this state. .iF ~
