RIGHTS OF AFRO-AMERICANs

Ss
"The republican platform refers
to these amendments to the Con-
stitution that were passed by the
republican party for the protec-
ton of the Afro-American. The
Afro-American, in the forty years
since he was freed from slavery,
has made remarkable progress.
He is becoming a more and more
valuable member of the COM
munities in which he lives The
education of the Afro-Amercan
is being expanded and improved
in every way. The best men of
both races, at the north as well
as at the south, ought to rejoice
to see growing up among the
southern people an influential ele.
ment disposed to encourage the
Afro-American in his hard struq-
gle for industrial indepe ndence
and assured political status. The
republican platform. adopted at
Chicago, explicitly demands JUS
tice for all men without regard
to race or color, and Just as ex-
plicitly declares for the enforce
rent, and without reservation, in
letter and spirit Of the thirteenth,
fourteenth and fifteenth amend
ments to the Constitution. 1t is
needless to state that stand
with my party squarely on that
plank in the platform, and believe
that equal justice to all men and
the fair and impartial enforce
ment OF these amendments are
IN keeping with the real Ameri-
can spirit of fair pIay.-Hon.

EQUAL RIGHTS PLANK.

"The Republican party has
been for more than fifty years
the consistent friend Of the
Afro-American. 1t gave him
freedom and citizenship. 1t
wrote into the organic law the
declarations that proclaim his
civil and political rights, and it
believes today that his note
worthy progress in intelligence,
industry and good citizenship
has earned the respect and en-
couragement Of the nation. We
demand equal justice for all
men, without regard to race or
color; we declare once more,
!. and without reservation, for the
enforcement in letter and spirit
Of the thirteenth, fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the
Constitution which were de-
signed for the protection and ad-
vancemnt of the American,
and we condemn all devices
have for their real aim his dis
REIMBURSEMENT for reasons of
color alone, as unfair, IMAM
erican and repugnant to the
supreme law of the land"

SOUTH DEGRADEs RACE.

at seems to me that if the
South persists in its present
attitude it will inevitably de-
grade the Afro-American, TAX

high endeavor and crowding
him down into the darker
places and compelling him al
ways to tread level lower
than that trodden by his white
countrymen.

CELEBRATED ACTOR DEAD
Peter F. Daley, Well Known Come
dian, Passes from the
Stage of Life.

Chicago, May 23.-Peter F. Daley,
one of the best known comedians in
the United States, died today at the
Auditorium hotel. He had been sick
for about a week with a combination of
la grippe, lumbago and pneumonia. Mr..
Daley for the past two or three years
was one of the leading comedians of
the Joe Weber company.
He came here with the company,
which began an engagement in a bur-
lesque on '"The Merry Widow" which
operated al the Colonial theatre last
Monday. He was scarcely able TO take
his part Monday, and had to be as
sisted to his feet a number of times.
The audience. however. knew nothing
about his condition. He had a tenn
perature that night of 103, and was I'M
able TO leave his bed the next day, but
il was not thought that his condition
was at all alarming. Twice during the
week he showed signs of recovery, and
not until this morning was it known
that his condition had become critical.
DR.. Francis w. Mcnamara and
Charles Paddock, old friends of Daley
were at the bedside OF the famous actor
at the time of his death. They said
that Dailey's sudden end was the re-
suit of his devotion TO his work and
his failure to rest through his illness.
