PoWER OF NEGRO VOTE.

Whenever the question Is raised as
to whether the Negro needs the ballot,
whether his use of the ballot will be
of service to him in bringing about
lair play, he needs but point to
Brownsville and the erect of the dis
satisfaction of the colored voter upon
Roosevelt and the republican party.
10 begin with, Mr.. Roosevelt, whether
from pure motives or otherwise we
will not attempt to say, endorsed in
toto the report of Gen. Darlington and
ordered that the troops be dismissed
without honor and forever debarred
from any government service.
Never before in the history of the
American Negro was there such united
opposition upon any given subject.
For once, all factionalism in the race
disappeared. This united opposition
mas been felt and Mr.. Roosevelt has
been gradually retreating from the
position he assumed when on board a
man-of-war he ordered Secretary Taft,
who had held up the order, to proceed
with the dismissal of the black bat
TALON. From the withdrawal of tho
clause debarring the men from future
employment to his request for permits
sion to reinstate those who can prove
themselves innocent, the retreat has
not been precipitate. 1t has been sim
ply gradual withdrawal under the
protection of democratic guns. The
power of the Negro voters of the
Northern states and those states bor-
d~ring upon the Mason and Dixon line
mas brought about this result.

question at issue and besides nomi-
nate a candidate for governor. The
plan is the epitome of fairness. There
is no denying that the party has not
expressed, its wishes in most Of the
county conventions. 1t is nothing but
right that a chance should be Civ
en- the rank and file to register its will
and thereby kill forever and a day
the miserable boss rule and trickery
which led to the uproar Wednesday.
No matter what the outcome of the
split, we feel gratifed that snap con-
Yentions manipulated BY packed COM
mittees have been rebuked; that the
effort of federal office-holders to force
upon the delegates at large from the
state the incubus of cast-iron instruc-
lions has failed; that force has been
set in motion looking to the direct
nomination of all candidates by the
people, and that out of the darkness Of
boss rule there has come a man who
wants no federal Office and is deter
mined that the party in this state
shall be something more than an ex-
aggerated appetite for federal pie.

steps and floors; to see the ivy shriv-
cling on the walls. We had all
known griefs before, but none surely
| like this. We remember how only a
few hours before it had stood safe and
solemn amidst the trees. We kept
saying to ourselves, ut can't be true,
lest we should come to realize the aW-
fitness of the truth. Even now there
| is somewhere within us a feeling OF
loss and desolation and emptiness
and whence it comes, or wherefore,
we do not know, till when the west is
red and a glory hangs on the hills we
kept our eyes for the sight we loved
and ruins stare back at us. The some
thing that we loved, with love that
we hardly understood, is gone and
now we understand far better when
we have only memories. But now
Is not a time of lamentations, and be-
sides that our grief is sacred-al-
most ineffable. Let memory hold
yelled the picture of the old lest we
| lose the courage we need for the con-
struction of the new. All the spirit
of Roger Williams, which was awak-
ened to new life when the first smoke
cloud from the burning building
rolled away toward the south, was the
real content of the cornerstone for a
new and greater Roger Williams. We
must prove to the world and to our
selves that we are worthy children OF
our Alma Mater-that our emotions
we're not called forth in the first hour
of her affection to subside before the
task of alternating it. We must real
lie that Roger Williams restored by
the efforts of those whom she nur-
tured will embody more completely
the dear associations of the old and
mean more to those who come after
us than the monuments of those who
built "Old Roger" That unaided we
could replace the loss the beloved
University suffered is too much to
hope: rather let us pray that the ex-
ample of our devotion to Roger Will
Jams and the realization of what she
means to those who have enjoyed her
benefits may inspire deep interest
not only in the people of Nashville,
who have shown already so practi-
cally their sympathy, but also in 9TH
ers who could we'll render immediate
and efficient assistance, and who
could find no worthier object upon
which to bestow their benevolence.
In the matter Of contribution none
ofus should feel obligated to give any
thing, but all of us should desire to
give as much as we are able, and do
1t promptly. The sooner we can re-
cuperate and fill the empty chambers
of our hearts with a new form, the
less keen will be our sense of loss.
Not only is financial cooperation
necessary but we must think Roger
Williams and talk Roger Will
Jams and live Roger Williams as
we have never before, and our loyalty
and enthusiasm will have to be con-
tagious. Here's to Roger Williams
may she rise from her fall glorifed!

A JUST REBUKE.

The rough house scene enacted at
the state capitol Wednesday, when the
republican state convention was called
to order, was no more than what was
to have been expected when the tactics
pursued in the election of delegates
are taken into consideration. The
Globe, unruffled by the wild, turbulent
scene, is in position to say, I'VE
told you So"
Long before the state convention
we denounced the trickery by which
few men were calling snap conven-
lions and selecting and instructing
county delegations. We denounced in
unmistakable terms the chicanery by
which packed state committee passed
a retroactive resolution to make regu-
lar the delegates selected by the COM
mittee long before any call had been is
sued for state convention. We OBJ
jected to the method being used by the
federal ofice-holders to stife the will
of the majority as to whether dele
gates would go up uninstructed and
warned the powers that be that day
of retribution was coming. 1t would
seem that Slick" politics has been
: met by "slicker" politics, and the men
who have countenanced all this trick
cry in order to carry their points
have been given dose of their own
medicine
The convention split into two fac
tional conventions, but that of the Oil
yer faction has many Of the points of
regularity in it's favor. This faction
held its convention at the appointed
time and at the appointed place. The
old state committee that had made all
the arrangements for the convention
was present and, if it did not direct
the affairs of the body, at least con-
tributed to the turmoil.
The split and the rough actions are
to be deplored, but like the lightning
and thunder of a rainstorm, they i'm
prove the surrounding atmosphere.
These hardy mountaineers from East
Tennessee who are republicans from
principle, who vote for the Grand Old
Party without the expectation of any
other reward than that to be derived
from the enforcement of republican
principles, have shown that they who
form the majority of the ra,ty in the
state will not be robbed of t. i" rights
by designing politicians aa1 federal
cfficeholders.
While the Convention is S Ut wide
open there is no need of the patty g.
ing into the next political battlo with
the democrats nor to the National Con
vontion divided if Mr.. divers Tlans
are accepted. He proposes a legal lod
primary, the expenses to ho maid ~
himself, which shall decide all Of ,ae

LILY-WHITEISM.

Some years ago a Jim crow" car
law was passed by the Legislature of
Tennessee. This law was passed at a
time when the Negro was more active
in the politics of the state than he
is at present. This law, it was
claimed, was not aimed at the self-re-
specting Negroes, but at the 'riff-raff, !"
who respected neither themselves nor
anyone else. Those of the race who
were able to do so in order to avoid
inferior accommodations, used the
Pullman cars. The wedge though had
been entered and under the admins.
tration of the then Gov. James Fra.
zier, now United States Senator from
this state, and upon his complaint, the
railroad commission ordered that
even decent" Negroes should not be
permitted the use of sleepers. Tennes-
see of truth then became real lin
crow car" state.
In the selection of delegates to the
various county and district republi-
can conventions, especially of Middle
Tennessee, the thought of how to get
rid of the irresponsible voter" how
to keep the "venal" Negro voter from
registering his will in the primaries
seems to have been the one paramount
issue with some members of the party.
Their highest ambition was to get rid
of the "riff-raff" colored vote that as
they maintained would not stay
bought" Their desires, it would seem,
have been accomplished in that the
naming and instructing of delegates
in some counties and districts was left
entirely in the hands of those who, &C.
cording to their professions, would
raise the morale of the party in the
state. Decent" colored men, too,
aided in bringing about such a condi.
ton.
From Covington comes the report
that club with large membership,
composed exclusively of lilly whites"
has been organized One of the first
acts of the club was to endorse prac-
tically the same ticket as has been
promulgated by the apostles of de-
cency in other counties. What does
this mean? Is it a warning to those
decent" colored men that following
the plans of the "jim crow" car, lilly.
whiteism" will be in the saddle as
soon as the "riff-raff" has been
squelched, and then these decent"
men will be relegated to a position
where they can neither be seen nor
heard? Does it mean that when these
decent" colored politicians have been
completely estranged from the masses
of the people and there is no possible
chance of reconciliation that these de
cent" politicians will be handed a
''lily-white" lemon?
We have observed that almost every
movement directed against the race be-
gins with a war upon the vicious and
finally ends by including every mem.
