Tho Birth Of a Nation.

The great, powerful American peo-
pie. through the compelling agency of
Mr.. Taft, has paused ever so slightly
in its triumphant onward march TO
stoop down and lift up n feeble. igno-
rant and helpless people and set it on
the broad highway to liberty. Vaguely,
uncertainty. not comprehending clearly
just what it was doing. not under
standing always fully either the object
or the means OF accomplishment, but
its heart right and submitting conf
IDENTITY TO the leadership of man in
whom it trusted implicitly, this nation
has assisted in new birth of freedom
for a lowly and oppressed people. To
William Howard Taft belongs the
lions share of tine credit. Not often is
II given 10 one man to do such work
for humanity. Seldom is such altruiSm
as his displayed. Many other honorS
have come to him: many others will
yet come. Among them all none will
be of greater significance or of more
lasting value than his work for the
Filipinos.

upon the question of protection. There
Is no radical departure from the an

Tho last paragraph is more in line With
the policy which congress has pursued
than could have been expected almost
for the reason that Secretary Taft has
favored practical free trade with the

THE coLoRED VOTER.
Tho Republican Party Is Party Of
American Citizens.


The gentleman from Illinois Mr..
RaineyI in his speech on Feb. 13 makes
the following statement, referring to
Senator Foraker:
There is only one man in the Re-
publican party who is spoken of as a
candidate who really represents any
thing, and he represents money and
negroes"
Further along he says:
"You must take care of the negro
vote, and you can't do it when you
turn down Foraker. If you turn him
down, if you do not nominate him
and he is the only man who is making
a real fight for anything except the
nomination---it will be necessary for
you TO buy every negro north of the
Mason and Dixon line in order TO get
him to vote the Republican ticket"
And further:
''The Republican party making
campaign without money and without
negroes would present a pitiable spec
tacle in this country"
Referring for n moment to that por-
ton of the speech of the gentleman
from Illinois Mr.. Raineyl in which he
not only casts reflections upon the
splendid character and purposes of the
senior senator from Ohio [Mr. Fora
kerl, but in which he also character
izes every negro north of the Mason
and Dixon line as being n purchasable
quantity and glories in the fact that
he belongs TO the national Democratic
party because it is n white mans
party" and always will be, let me say
that / am equally proud of the fact
that the Republican party is not n
white mans party" but is a party
composed of American citizens regard
less of nationality or color. 1t is
party that believes that the principles
of the constitution of the United States
should be as potent south of the Mason
and Dixon line as north of that i'm
aginary line. Ii believes that every
section OF the constitution should be
inviolate and in no sense ignored. 1t
stands for human rights and insists
that the guarantee of civil and politi-
cal rights given to every male citizen
Of this country twenty-one years Of
age shall apply to negro as well as TO
white man. II is the party OF Abra-
ham Lincoln, of Grant, OF Garfield and
Mckinley. and, just rs they stood for
human rights and political liberty so

The North Should Unite.

The Pend d'0reille Review COM
ments upon the fact that in the
election of Hon. B. f. O'Neil as
delegate to the national convention
from the first judicial district the
way has been paved for better
feeling between the Northern coun-
ties. The HERALD quite agrees
with the Review in this matter, and
we shall be glad to welcome the
time when the Northern counties
can work in harmony in political
affairs. North Idaho does not re-
ceive the full consideration to
which she is Untitled in state affairs.
This is largely the fault of North
Idaho herself. She has never been
able to agree on just what she
wants, and is therefore treated with
contempt-as might be expected.
If the election of Mr.. o, Neil shall
pave the way for better feeling
between Bonner, Kootenai, snd
Shoshone, then it will indeed be a
most fortunite occurance.
North Idaho has large number
of big men-including Hey burn,
O'Neil, French, and Ailshie, and
any time that the Northern coun-
ties honor either or any of these
gentlemen, laying local jealousies
aside, a good stroke of political
business is done fos Northern
Idaho. The suggestion of the
Pend d'Oreille Review is wise and
timely.
