SECRETARY TAFTs SPEECH.

The speech of Secretary Taft. de-
livercd 40 Lexington. Kentucky. Au-
gust 22d. 1907 Dis peculiarly sieuiG-
cant and we think chat DOB connection
with the one delivered by President
Roosevelt recently. is without "a par
alIel iu the political annals of this
country The speech is especially
significant iu it's almost brutal frank
ness relative to the position of the
distinguished statesman on the SOC
called Negro question.
IL Is not the kind of address that
we would have expected from q man
of Mr. Tafts calibre and breeding.
It seems that his service in political

ist or an apologist for the present
unlawful conditions now existing in

give voice To such thoughts fin any
place where they could be conveyed
to the public. But here is what Sec
rotary Taft is reputed to have said
in discussing the race question:
81 know that the discussion by a
Northern man Of this question is apt
70 call from the Southern Democrat
the objection that he does not under
stand the question; that he does not
know the difficulties of it, and that
IL he cannot take il up with sympa-
thy, with the attitude Of the white
man of the South, he had better not
take il up at all. On the other hand.
he is liable TO encounter the criticism
Of the cOlofed man who, with a nat
ural sensiuveness, remem bering the
wrongs and oppression TO which his
race has been subjected, resents any
attitude which does not involve CON
demnation of the Southern white
man, or which manifests the slightest
consideration for his view"
Secretary Taft is speaking of a
certain element of the white South
and he is on the other hand speaking
Of certain element Of the black
South. AS a matter of fact the new
progressive elements of both races
accept advice along these lines and
are able to express a conservative o.
pinion relative to all that he has been
kind enough to say. He confesses
that he is liable to be between two
fires and il seems 10 us that the or
binary judgment and ASSORTMENT
should have warned a candidate for
the highest political Office in tae gift
of the people, 10 avoid all discussion
of such delicate subject. We have
not noted any particular criticism of
his views on the part of the white
press of the South, but we are forced
TO take issue with him as represent
ing the conservative side of the cit
tzein OF color IN this sunny land.
The logical inference IN these re-
marks Is that Secretary Taft has de-
