THE NEGRO AND THE BALLOT.

The announcement that Mr. An
drew Carnegie, that prince of phil
anthropists" and admirer of DIT.
Booker T. Washington had been n
party to a discussion of the Negro
question in conjunction with Lord
Rosebery was somewhat a surprise.
The event took place before a large
audience at the Philosophical Insti-
tuition, Edinburg. Scotland, October
16. 1907.
The telegraphic report says:
Mr.. Carnegie strongly championed
the Negroes. He traced their devel-
opment from slaves TO citizens. the
gradual decrease OF illiteracy among
them. their general inclusion in
church organizations and the enor-
nous expenditure of money for
churches and schools.
He counted that the Negro was 4
saving man. with land hunger. and
declared there was no better test of
a respectable member of society than
a bank book showing a good balance
or title deeds to a house or farm I'M
encountered by debt. He repudiated
the idea that the Negro is lazy. On
the contrary, he said. he was busted
in every field of activity, even i'm
newspapers.
The question used to be what can
be done with the Negroes, but nov
II is how more of them and other
workers can be obtained. The Negro
has become OF immense economic val
ne and is indispensable. Nevertne-
less, Mr.. Carnegie admitted, the Ne
gro problem is as yet unsolved, and
the question whether Negroes will
ever be raised into the mass of the
nation is still unanswerable.
Mr.. Carnegie is evidently we'll
posted as to the progress and the
producing power of the Negroes. AS
a matter OF fact government statistics
show that the Negroes add six hun
dred million dollars per annum to
the wealth of the country. The re-
port says further:
Lord Rosebery, while protesting
the incompetency to offer an opinion
on the subject and believing IT un-
desirable to submit his views on the
internal affairs OF other nations, ne
vertheless said he doubted the wis
Richmond planet. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1883-1938, 1907-11-09
It continued

The interesting point is that the
Negroes apparently do not give the
slightest attention to the issues In
volved or the tremendously impor-
tant effect their vote may have on the
welfare OF the city and the interests
of their fellow citizens. They threat
en- TO vote sOlidly, not as Democrats
.or Republicans or Socialists. not as
opponents or friends of the three
cent car fare, not as American citi-
zens. but as Negroes. Their idea
seems 20 be TO vote as Negroes to
avenge the dismissal of guilty Negro
soldiers from the army.
Their position is taken regardless
of the merits of the Brownsville case.
It is indeed surprising that a
newspaper OF the character and
standing of the News-Leader should
give voice to such misleading asser-
tions. These colored voters did just
what they have been advised to do
by the Democratic orators and men
of ability. They exercised discrimi-
mating judgment and either stayed
away from the polls or voted against
Hon. Theodore f. Burton, the man
who was the avowed antagonist of
Hon. Joseph Benson Foraker of Ohio.
They were not there to avenge the
dismissal of guilty Negro soldiers,
but were at the polls 20 emphasize
their displeasure over the dishonora-
BILE discharge of innocent Negro sol
diers. Their position was taken af-
ter a careful and prayerful consider
alton of the merits of the Browns
vile case. The News-Leader said
further:
II will be remembered that Senator
Foraker with all his ingenuity and
persistence was unable to shake the
statement that the Negro troopers did
commit riot and murder and invade
and shoot up a peaceful community.
This makes NO difference 70 the Clevt,
land Negroes. Their demand seems
TO be that Negroes shall be exempt
ed from punishment and that all who
undertake to punish them or who of
fend the race in any way shall be the
objects OF Negro vengeance TO be TAX
en- at the polls.
Considering this situation, proba-
bly, the most enthusiastic Cleveland
Republican Is ready to concede by
this time that to give the Negro the
vote was mistake and that the
white people OF the South knew toll

AN ECHO OF BRowNsv1L1E.

Hon. Theodore Z. Burton. who re-
signed his seat in the Congress Of
the United States TO be a candidate
for Mayor OF Cleveland. Ohio against
Mayor Tom 7. Johnson was defeated
last Tuesday although he had the
ondorsation of President Roosevelt
and it was said made the canvass. on
his suggestion.

bitterly opposed by some of the col
ored citizens under the acknowledged
leadership of Hon. II. c. Smith. edi-
tor of the Cleveland. o. Gazette.
There viii be no tears shed over the
result by the colored people Of the
country.
Previous TO the election. the Rich
mond. Va. News-Leador made the
following editorial comment:
Now Cleveland. o.. is hard against
the Negro rs voter That city Is
engrossed in a local fight OF intense
interest between Tom Johnson with
/ his Democratic and Independent for
ccs on one side and former Con-
gresham Burton. regular Republi-
can on the other. Mr. Burton is the
man who resigned his seat I'm con-
gross at The special suggestion OF
President Roosevelt 90 become n can
didate for MAYOR OF Cleveland and
attempt 90 overthrow Johnson and
his three cent street car fare and
generally socialistic policies.
Tho Negroes OF Cleveland threaten
20 use the opportunity 20 punish the
president for dismissing the NEGRO
troops at Brownsville. Texas by vot-
ing against the Republican nominee.
Consequently the most servile over
lures are being made to them by the
Republican managers and Foraker
has been importunod successfully to
use his influence 20 keep the black
vote in line.

TO FINISH VlADUCT,
Permanent Structure To Replace
Temporary One.

The I1terurban Electric railway via
duct over the Rock Island railway cut
southwest of this city will soon be
permanently completed. The work
which was contracted last season
could not be completed in time for the
opening of the line on contract time
hence a part OF the structure was OF
a temporary character, including the
six steel Orders upon which the ties
of the central span rest. These grid
ers are now to be replaced by Orders
which have been manufactured by the
ottumwa Bridge Works and the per-
manent structure will be erected by
this company and its workmen.
The new steel has arrived in the
city and it is being taken TO the via
duct today preparatory to the work OF
placing it in the bridge. The work
will be done in such manner as not
to hinder traffic to greater extent
than Is absolutely necessary.
The removing OF the construction
that has been in use since the opening
OF the line will also be piece of work
requiring the exhibition Of consider
able skill The steel Il beams" that
were used IN the temporary bridge
we're only loaned until tne permanent
bridge could be finished, and these
will be returned.

Things seem different when you
look through colored glasses The
truth of the old saying came home to
Superintendent Will Luscombe while
he was on a trip through New Mex
leo a short time ago and he regards
the circumstances, which came under
his personal observation, as some
what unusual, not to say amusing.
The incident occurred in the mining
town of Mogollon, which although
fully ninety miles from Silver City, is
called a suburb of that place. A cou-
pie Of Mexicans engaged in game of
cards and, quarreling, one was shot
dead by the other. The man with the
gun was arrested, taken before mag
istrate on a charge of carrying con
cealed weapons. H was fined twenty
five dollars, upon payment of which
no was released.
Another quarrel had occurred be-
tween a couple. One man had threat
eaed to do harm" to mis- tormenter
and to make the bluff good had made
motion as if to draw gun on the fell
low. He was arrested, gun found on
his clothes, had trial and the case
came to the attention of court A
jur was empaleled and the evidence
heard. The defendant was found
guilty Of carrying concealed weapons
as charged and was fined two hundred
and fifty dollars and the costs Of the
trial.
Mr.. Luscombe says possibly they
have minimum AID maximum in
that state, but he finds difficulty in
making the application in the cases
