Not Race Question.
So much for the military side of the
case. But ] wish TO say something ad.
dltlonal, from the standpoint of the
race question. In my message at the
opening OF Congress 1 discussed the
matter of lynching. In IL I gave utter.
ance to the adherence which all decent
citizens should feel for the deeds of the
men I'm 1Inns. nil u,l,;
who take part in lynchings. and at the
same time ] condemned, as all decent
men Of any color should condemn. the
action OF those colored men who active.

criminal from the law. In the case of
these companies we had 10 deal with

or what was practically the worst pos.
slble form OF lyuching-for lvnchinp
Is in its essence lawless and murderous
vengeance taken by an armed mob for
real or fapcied wrongs-and who in the
second place covered up the crime Of
lynchlug by standing with vicious
solidarity TO protect the criminals.
1t rs OF the utmost Importance to all
of our people that we shall deal with
each man on his merits as A man. and
not deal with him merely as member
or gwen race; that we shall Judge
each man by his conduct md NOT his
color, This is important for the white
man. and II is far more important for
the colored man. More evil and sinister
counsel never was given 10 any people
than that given 10 colored men by those
advisers. whether black or white, who.
by apology and condonsiiou, encourage
conduct such as shat of the three com
panies in question. IF the colored men
elect to stand by criminals of their own
race because they are of their own race,
they assuredly lay UP for themselves

race In its efforts to strive onward and
upward should teach first, as the most
important lesson, alike 10 the white
man and the black, the duty of treating
the individual man strictly on his wort h
as he shows it, Any conduct by colored
people which tends to substitute for this
rule the rule of standing by and shield
ing an evil-doer because he is a member
Of their race. means the inevitable
degradation of the colored race. It
may and probably does mean damage
to the white race, but it means ruin
to the black race.
Throughout my term Of service in
the Presidency I have acted on the
principle thus advocated. In the North
as in the South | have appointed col
ored men of high character TO office,
utterly disregarding the protests of
those who would have kept them out of
Office because they were colored men.
So far as was in my power, l have
sought to secure for the colored people
all their rights under the law. ] have
done all | could to secure them equal
school training when young, equal op-
portunity to earn their livelihood, and
achieve their happiness when old
have striveu TO break up peonage; I
have upheld the hands of those who.
like Judge Jones and Judge Speer, have
warred against this peonage, because I
would hold myself unfit to be President
if | did not feel the same revolt at
wrcng done colored man as I feel at
wrong done a white man. | have con-
demned in unstinted terms the crime of
lynching perpetrated by white men, and
/ should take instant advantage of any
opportunity whereby I could bring TO
justice a mob of lynchers. In precisely
the same SPIRIT I have now acted with
reference 20 these colored men who
have been guilty of n black and das-
tardly crime, In one policy, as in the
other, ! do not claim as a favor. but
I challenge as right. the support Of
every citizen of this country, whatever
his color, provided only he has in him
the spirit of genuine and far sighted
patriotism.
