sacred as the institution of private
property itself. 1t doesn't help in the
slightest degree in the present day to
stir up the embers of the controversy of
the past by attempting to fix blame on
one part Of the country or the other in
respect to an institution which has gone

are to recognize as a condition and
fact, and a problem for solution rather
than as an occasion for elimination or
recrimination with respect to whose
fault they may involve.
81 am not going to rehearse the pain
full history of reconstruction or what
followed it. | come at once to the
present condition of things, stated from
a contributional and political standpoint.
And that is this: That in all Southern
States it is possible, by election laws
prescribing proper qualifications for the
suffrage which square with the Fifteenth
Amendment and which shall be equally
administered as between the black and
white races, to prevent entirely the
possibility of domination of Southern
State, county or municipal governments
by an ignorant electorate, white or
black.
ut is further true that the sooner
such laws, when adopted, and applied
with exact equality and justice to the
two races the better for the moral tone
of the State and community concerned.
Negroes should be given an opportunity
equally with white, by education and
thrift to meet the requirements of eligi-
bility which the State Legislatures in
their wisdom shall lay down in order to
secure the same exercise of the electoral
franchise. The negro should ask moth
ing other than an equal chance to quail
fly himself for the franchise, and when
that is granted by law, and not denied
by Legislative discrimination, he has
nothing to complain of.
"The proposal to repeal the Fifteenth
Amendment is utterly impracticable
and should be relegated to the limits of
forgotten issues. What we are consider
ing is something practical, something
that means attainable progress, it
seems to me to follow, therefore, that
there is or ought to be, common
ground upon which we can all stand in
respect to the race question in the South
and has political bearing that takes away
any justification for maintaining the
continued solidity of the South to pre-
vent the so-called negro domination.
"The fear that, in some way or other,
a social equality between the races shall
be enforced by law or brought about by
political measures really has no founda-

SUFFRAGE DISCUSSED BY
PRESIDENT-ELECT TAFT.
He Holds That Equal Privileges Should
Prevail at the Ballot Box.

President-elect Taft was the guest of
honor at the annual dinner of the North
Carolina Society held Monday night
He made a stirring speech urging a
closer union between the North and the
South and defining his policy as one of
sympathy and interest.
After paying tribute to North Caro-
lima, which he said, presented an ad-
mirable type of present condition in the
South, the public spirit of its citizens,
progress of its industries and the charm
ing companionship which the Northern
er always found there, Judge Taft
pointed out that the laws were made for
the North and South and the functions
of the Government extends from the
Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico,
Then he led up to this question:
''What IS it that sets the South apart
and takes from the Southern people the
responsibilities which the members of a
republic ought to share in respect to the
conduct of the national Government"
He continued
"Why is it that what is done at Wash
ington seems to be the work of the
North and the West, and not of the
South? Should this state of affairs con-
tinue? These are the questions that
force themseles on those of us concern
ed with the Government and who are
most anxious to have a solid, united
country of whose will the course of the
Government shall be an intelligent in
depreciation and expression.
owe can answer these questions as
the historian would, and we can explain
the situation as it is, but don't think
we can justify or excuse continuance
of it. Looking back into the past of
course, the explanation of the differ
ences between the South and the other
two sections was in the institution of
slavery. 1t is of no purpose to point
out that early in the history of the
country the North was as responsible
for bringing slaves here as the South,
because we are not concerned with
whose fault it was that there was such
an institution as slavery.
''Nor are we concerned with the
probability that, had the !Northerners
been interested in slaves, they would
have viewed the institution exactly as
the Southerners viewed it, and would
have fought to defend it because as

HYDROPHODIA IS
CAUSING ALARM

CHICAGO. May 25. -Hydrophobja
hysteria has seized on many persons
In Chicago. This follows the death
OF William II. Marsh of BROOKLYN
from rabies caused by fondling 4
dog. The dramatic circumstances of
his death have moved scores of Chit
cagoans to fear for their own live
and the lives of their children. Ply
sicians are in state of distraction
from the frantic appeals of those who
believe themselves doomed to the
fate OF Marsh after recalling some
slight bite or scratch inflicted by a
family pet.
Behind this wave OF imaginati 70
terror lies an ominous truth. Actual
cases of hydrophobia have increased
in Illinois to an alarming extent this
spring. More than 100 per sons hare
rushed to DR.. Antonio Lagorio, head
of the local Pasteur institute, during
the last few days, entreating him to
examine them for traces of the fear
