THE NEGRO PROBLEM.
BY John Sharp Williams, in the
Metropolitan.

Some people talk as if the repeal
of the fifteenth amendment would
get rid of darkies. 1t Is the physical
presence Of the Negro that consti-
tutes the problem. That cannot be
too often repeated and that consti-
tuted the problem even when his
fstatus was one of slavery. The ply
steal presence, as far as can see, Is
unavoidable. 1t cannot be escaped
by the deportation Of the Negro race
1t cannot be escaped by the white
people moving out Of the south and
leaving the Negroes in possession of
the accumulated fruits Of their in
telligence and civilization 1t cannot
be escaped by the determination Of
either race by the other. That
| thought is absolutely horrible to a
good man, believer in the divine
philosophy Of Jesus Christ, who
taught mutual helpfulness, and not
mutual hatred to mankind. The
races might be fused by amalgama-
| tion-that is Northumberland yet
while the darby cannot be removed
from the country, he can be gradual
ly, though not suddenly scattered all
over the country, thus relieving the
| congested racial condition In the cot
ton states, diminishing the racial
| menace everywhere and carrying
with the Negro himself a knowledge
! OF the Negro problem to white men
| In other parts Of the Union.
Negroes are going out and white
! men coming in, but we can, by. wise
individual and state action, acceler-
ate it by bringing into the south de-
sirable white immigrants, thus sub
| Ject1ng the darby TO an Industrial
competition which will require him
to become either more effectual la
borer than he is now, especially upon
the farm, or else to "1eave the field
| and go elsewhere to some sort Of
unskilled work requiring heavy
muscular exertion under the super
vtsing intelligence Of the white man.

ton. -.
In view OF the flood Of rumor and
counter rumor that has been in cir
culatton concerning the Presidents
sontention 1t Is clear that the time
has arrived for him again to break
silence and to end all talk by another
square cut declaration. He should
do this not only in his own interest
but In the interest of Secretary Taft,
whose candidacy Is already suffering
from over-presidential chaperonage
and who cannot afford to have the
belief spread that he is willing to
have manoeuviring and manipulation
in his behalf.
The pendulum seemingly begins to
swing the other way. The heralded
idol Of yesterday becomes the dis
puted ,usurper, and his friends are
estopped in their rise because they
move In the livery Of their master.
We do not know how Senator For
aker feels about the latest and in
teresting turn Of affairs. But this,
we know, In the same proportion
that Secretary Taft's presidential
stock has declined in value, in that
same proportion has the Senator's
stock as seer and stateman
risen. The path Of a politician is
no rose-strewn one of great pleasant
ness. Ambition often leads us where
We should not treadi leads us to the

remarkable native, who lives without
luxury, assumes no "style," and is
distinguished, simply because his
fathers and he were superior in in
telIigence to their people and acquir-
ed great power over them.
Years ago Selma accepted the SOW
ereignty Of the Free State because he
thought it polite. to do SO. But it Is
amusing to read how adroily this old
fellow thwarts and delays the meas
ures Of the white Government with
out jeopardizing his own power. He
is described as always gentle, polite
and tactful. He quarrels with no
one. He receives orders, compli-
ments and reproaches with the same
gracious smile. He solemnly affirms
his devotion to the Government, he
promises to what Is desired and then
he does as he pleases. He is most in
genious in discovering insuperable
obstacles to fulfilling his promises.
SO the BeIgians call him bad
names, but take no severe measures.
They say he is q hypocrite, that the
truth is not in him, and that he has
a genius for turning all situations to
his own advantages. "He does not
| know fear and he obeys no MAN.
Selma is one Of the few black men of

and just washed, you'd, if he were
admitted to the dinner table at
hotel in my state, excite a riot. If
on the contrary, he went to a hotel
in Vermont, the other guests would
doubtless seek an introduction to
him, it being an opportunity to see
and study something Of new and
strange type. The total absence of
this feeling among people who have
never felt the presence OF the Negro
as menace to the moralities Of So
clal life, to the white mans civili-
cation or his code Of ethics, will be
realized when you remember that
Carnegie, Wanamaker, Bishop Potter
Of New York, President Roosevelt,

TEMPLE GRAVES. NEW YORK

F. Thomas Fortune desters the
New York Age for a calm and COM
forting retreat in his "old age" And
yet, he Is not old. Booker T.. Wash
ington at 40 is in the zenith of his
glory and his power. Fortune is
but three short summers beyond the
stateman in the way Of all the earth.
John Temple Graves, the meanest
and basest man upon whose face
ever wreathed a smile of hypocrisy,
has blessed the Atlanta Georgian and
News by retiring therefrom; and
covered with shame the future of the
New York American by hitching
himself On to it. The pages Of the
American have often breathed forth
the spirit of broadest liberty. Ella
Wheeler Wilcox's most soothing and
inspiring songs of freedom have
hereon first been printed Indeed,
If at all times the American has not
been a strong champion of liberty
for all the people, it has at no time
been champion of slavery, political
or physical, for any of the people,
If it has not kept pace with the
Evening Post, at least it has been
more often than not in hailing dis
lance. And now comes to it's editor
ship the chief blasphemer and
Phar1see Of his day. Either Mr..
Hearst must recapitulate to the doc
tr1nes and prophecies of John Temple
Graves, whose record in Georgia is
written for all time in the crying
blood Of innocent men, or MT.
Graves must surrender his heritage
to the spirit Of freedom. What he
said in Georgia day after day, he
cannot say in New York for six days
without bringing on just such a
massacre as his doctrines brought on
in Atlanta.
Fortune mas gone away; left the
Age to inexperienced and weaker
hands. Newer blood and newer
hands in the city Of ideas, the home
Of opinions, must rise up and answer
Graves when he blackguards liberty
or engages in his habit Of maligning
and misrepresenting Negroes. We do
| feel that some man will rise to meet
this man on his own ground, and
! answer his pen with q stronger pen;
| answer his appeals to hate and con-
tumely by approaching to the higher
manhood and consecratcd woman
| hood Of America.
Yet we do not despair. The abuse
| Of Tillman; the loose thonge Of
| Vardaman; the sweetened hypocrisy
Of Graves, all, will only cement the
Negroes in purpose and in defense,
and set them to the work that they
must do, lest the evil days come
upon them, and find them naked to
their enemies.

ROOSEVELT HURTING TAFT.

The New York Evening Post long
ago pointed out in a thoroughly
friendly, and we believe, interested
spirit, that Mr.. Roosevelt's cham
pionship Of the cause OF Secretary
Taft, In so far as the War Minister'S
presidential ambition Is concerned,
would do more harm than good, and
really would accelerate whatever Op.
position had already developed to
Mr.. Taft. The press Of the country
is pretty generally agreed that IL
Mr.. Roosevelt's irritable silence as to
the third term" idea Is but part
Of his political game TO boost Mr..
s. Taft, it Is a poor, part Of an obviously
great political blunder. That Mr..
Taft is not as strong today as he
WAS say three months ago, Is as plain
as day, to those who read as they
run, and are able to weigh events in
their relationship to political ques-
tions and candidates.. And his loss
Of strength Is due, in the main, to
the friendship Of the President,
whose plan and purpose to name his
own successor is just now beginning
to excite the opposition of the peo-
pie, who see in this kind Of conduct
the establishing Of q precedent the
influence Of which may be the be
ginning Of the undermining Of our
institutions. my policies" the peo-
pie are beginning to see and argue,
are all right as long as the father
OF them is the Chief Magistrate, but
they are not to be "perpetuated," as
a foolish western Republican state
convention resolved, by any mode OF
selection. So Mr.. Taft really suffers
by being heralded, with his permits
sion and accord, it would seem, as
the beneficiary Of Mr.. Roosevelt s
matchless influence and his power
although so strong a Republican
newspaper as the Chicago Inter

War shall withdraw from the race
