STATES HIS
POSITION.
Gives Reason. for Not. Opposing
Secretary Taft.

From the Nashville Clarion)
The colored people of the United
| States, by force of circumstaces
| which | need here detail, have been
so long confined to the one political
party that they have had but little op
portunity to grow accustomed to
| having among themselves pronounc-
and radical differences of opinions
One group of religiOnists among
us can see a group of another faith
korshipping God at a different shrine
from its own without having its rage
excited, for we have learned that
even pious and intelligent people
can ia ali sincerity hold radically diff
ferent views concerning religious
matters.
What we have come to in religion
we will some day reach i'll politics,
that is, the ability to view without
unsecmly rage the race divided, like
all other races of men, into various
political groups.
If the honest convictions on polit-
itical matters which | am now TO ex-
press do nothing more than furnish
to the race one more example OF a
man exercising his divine right to
freedom of thought and expression
upon matters in which he has as much
vital interest as any other American
citizen, feel that | shall not have
spoken in vain.
Brownsville. 4.
| was and am of the opinion that
President Roosevclt's course in refer
encc 10 the Brownsville affair was Op-
en- to criticism.
Normally the Anglo Saxon race in
Europe and ia America is an oath re
specting race. But in some parts OF
our country the sentiment has been
developed that perjury is no offense
against good morals where the race
question is involved. Often truth IS
no more required by the racial SEN
timent than truthfulness concerning
his army is expected of prisoner tax
en- in war.
Thus, we have returning boards
swearing falsely and without grim
ace as to election returns, and United
States Senators taking oaths TO up
hold the Constitution of the United
States. knowing the while that they
are going to be parties TO the VIOLA
ton OF the fifteenth amendment to
that Constitution as much a part oi
that document as any other part.
In view OF the well known racial
feclinw which rendered the whole
Brownsville affair difficult OF straig ht-
ening out, there was to my mind a
wiser way for the President to have
handled the matter.
The Presidents Record.
But | am not one OF those who
think that the President acted as he
did because the soldiers were colored
men. There is nothing in his whole
career upon which to found such a
conception of his character.

SOUNDS YOU HEAR AT NIGHT.

SOUNDS YOU HEAR AT NIGHT.
When lying on your downy bed
And sleep is overdue,
But still refuses to come round
And makes a date with you,
Although the world outside is dead
And not a soul is near.
It's startling then and strang. indeed,
The noises that you hear.
You lie there counting sheep, perhaps
To make the sleep man come
When from the corner of the room
There starts low, soft hum,
While you are guessing at the cause
1t fads and grows more faint
Or breaks out in another place
Just like a new complaint.
Outside from time to time you hear
A farsway report
That seems to be pistol shot
or something of that sort,
Then suddenly a noise begins.
Like rattling of the tin,
Which makes you think burglar bold
Is rely breaking in.
Each sound is greatly multiplied,
A door across the street
Slammed by awayward wind sounds like
The booming of fleet,
AS for the creaking of the house.
1t gives you such flight,
They drive you to distraction quite
The sounds you hear at night.

Booker 7. Washington III the White
House, his views as enunciated in the
Crum case, the peonage prosecution,
all, all preclude the thought that he
was influenced by considerations of
race.
| go further and venture the as
sertion that no President that ever sat
in the chair has taken a more import
ant step than Mr.. Roosevelt in wip-
ing out the color line in politics so
far as relates to federal appointments.
When he became President there
was what might be called a system of
Jim Crowism in appointments. Col
ored men had a restricted sphere in
which to aspire. The President
broke up this corner by pushing col
ored men on the judicial bench i'll
Washington ID. c., by the appoint
ment of Anderson in New York,
Lewis in Boston and Trler to an audit
orship in the Navy Department, and
by other appointments in new fields.
All the appointes cited let it be OBJ
served are in territory never before
occupied by the race in the history
of the nation, and a beginning has
been made toward the opening of
the whole field Of federal service to
Negro aspiration.
If theprecedent OF regarding no
territory as forbidden ground to the
Negro is followed. Jim Crowism in
the federal service is doomed.
TO take an incident like the
Brownsville affair and twist it into
a color question with which to casti-
gate man with record like that
of President Roosevelt on the color
question is indeed to my mind
severe Indictment of our judgment
Mistaken | believe the President to
have been Actuated by race pre-
judicc | do not believe him to have
been
am frank to admit that in spite of
the Presidents mistakes, as | view
the matter, he has my support, and
| support him for the same reason
that onhuences man to stand
pyramid on its base and not on its
apex. That is. | judge his attitude
toward the race by his course as
viewed in the lagre sense rather than
by one incident. which could dehnit-
ely be pronounce as born OF race
prejudice only by that great reader
of hearts, the Christ, who has solemn
ly warned us against going behind
the returns, and saying what IS IN
mans heart Judge not lest ye be
Judged. For with what measure ye
mete it shall be measured unto you
again
Secretary Taft.
shall now express my views con-
cerning Secretary TAFT:
To begin with he comes OF old
abolition stock, and the traditional
attitude OF his family has been one OF
cordial friendship for the colored
people. -.
His course in CUBA and the Philip
pine Island shows that he Is believer
in the rights OF the dark races
He believes in the fifteenth Am
endment to the Constitution and has
said over and over again that the
sufferage laws should apply equally
to both races.
Such mistakes as the colored peo-
pie made in the early days in voting
he sought in some Southern speeches
TO explain philosophically, and to
show that they were errors out OF
which the colored people could grow
This was done TO offset the claim OF
those Southern whites who hOld
that reconstruction experiences
should serve as an eternal bar These
efforts OF Secretary Taft to trace TO

exactly as other citizens enjoy.
We do not ask at your hands any
special favors; we ask at the bar o.
this Christian natioh nothing tc
which we are not entitled under the
law and constitution. we ask
only for that which belongs to us
as right, for justice, for equality Of
freedom Of action and opportunity
before the law and in industrial life
Of the land North and South alike.
We ask for fair treatment, that
we may, like other races, make TIE
most and best Of ourselves, that
We may rise or fall onour merit like
other men in the political and in
dustrial life of the republic.
We cannot do this unless we and
our children are gwen equal oppo-
tunity with other people to get an
education at the public expense, un
less we are given equal voice with
all classes in making the laws; un-
less our labors are given chance to
obtain work with all other laboring
classes in the industrial system Of
the nation. These things are not
only necessary to the highest good
Of our common country as well; for
be it forever born in mind by all,
white and black alike, that the free
st and most intelligent labor is the
most productive. This also is a
truth worth remembering namely
that labor class in an industrial
Republic like ours deprived Of the
right to vote or voice in the gov
ernment is at the mercy Of other la
boring classes which possess that
right and that voice; indeed, at the
mercy of all thus privileged.
Now, badly as a labor class needs
the ballot, needs education at the
public expense, needs industrial op-
portunities to sell its labor freely
like other classes in the Republic,
in the South by one device or a
mother it is almost universally de-
prived Of the right to vote. In
many cases ourchildren are denied
equal privileges. and the whole race
in the North and S nth is deprived
of equal industrial freeman to OBJ
tain work with other labor classes.
We appeal to the friends of hu-
manity to use their influence to rid
this glorious country OF mob violen-
ce, which is sending SO many to an
untimely grave.
We appeal to the liberty-loving
men in authority to lend US their
assistance by influence, by legisla
ton forthe removal ofthe "JimCrow
car laws. which have placed a stig-
ma up 7n the noblest and the best
Of our race, from the bishops of the
church to the humblest. while atthe
same time we are required to pay
the same fare for inferior accomoda
ton.
As leaders OF the people, we hna
lily appeal, for all the rights guarra

To enumerate the civil, social,
