found sympathy and aid in the ssrus-

We are charged with the sacred
duty of making their path as smooth

pointment to office from among their

couragement, and an appreciation OF

But it may well admit of doubt
whether. in the case of any race, an
appointment of one of their number to
a local office in community in which
the race feeling is SO widespread and
acute as to interfere with the ease and
facility with which the local govern
ment business can be done by the ap-
pointee, is of sufficient benefit by way
of encouragement TO the race to out
weigh the recurrence and increase of
race feeling which such an appoint
ment is likely TO engender.
Therefore, the executive in reco-.

as for the white II was magnificent.
II was better than that-it was practi-
cal. He struck aside all the flimsy
subterfuges under which custom hides
the pitiful condition of black Ameri-
cans. and pointed out the part of our
betterment that must come from us.
and condemned the barriers which
communities would raise against us
under the form of law. We might go
on to praise the President at length.
but II Is better to give what he said
about US. and II reads as follows:
The thirteenth amendment secured
them freedom: the fourteenth amend
ment due process OF law, protection OF
property and the pursuit of happi-
ness. and the fifteenth amendment at
tempted TO secure the Negro against
any deprivation of the privilege TO
vote, because he was a Negro. The
thirteenth and fourteenth amendments

secured the objects for which they
We're intended
While the fifteenth amendment has
not been generally observed in the
past 1t ought To be observed. and the
tendency OF Southern legislation to-
day is toward the enactment of elec-
toral qualifications which shall square
with that amendment. or course. the
mere adoption of constitutional law
Is only one step In the right direction.
IL must be fairly and justly enforced
as well. In time both will come.
Hence it is clear to all that the DOM
ination of an ignorant. irresponsible
element can be prevented by constitu-
tional laws which shall exclude from
voting both Negroes and whites not
having education or other uualitica-
tons thought to be necessary for a
proper electorate. The danger OF the
control of an ignorant electorate has
therefore passed, With this change.
the interest which many of the South
ern white citizens take in the welfare
OF the Negroes has increased.
The colored men must base their
hope on the results OF their own in

ness success. as well as upon the aid

The passing OF the negro in ma

loss of important political Offices in

appointed. and It is often for the good

1t is not the poor ignorant negro
who is an offsense in the eyes of the

Telling Time by the Palm.

From the Lewiston Journal.
A year ago Walter Mason, who
lives In the town Of Newport, Me-, be-
came aware that he possessed the re-
markable ability OF telling the accurate
time of day by simply looking at his
palm. just as some one else would take
out his watch and look at the figures on
the dial. Mr.. Mason does not know, and
no one else who has witnessed this I'M
usual proceeding has been able to tell
him the cause of this. But from the time
he discovered his ability to do so he has
never been known to make a mistake
when telling the time of day by looking
at his palm. Considerable doubt was eX-
pressed at first at his being able to do
what his townspeople considered little
short of miraculous. So. obtaining watch
that could be depended upon, he first
would look at his palm and tell the time,
after which he would consult the watch.
and thus far his first statement has not
deviated from the watch. Mr.. Mason says
he sees first a picture Of what he tells In
his own mind but SO far as explaining
the reason for this or being able to teach
any one else his method. he is unable to
do so, and by their own observations the
people in the town are convinced of the
fact that he does indeed possess a strange
gift, one hitherto unheard Of, but one that
can be depended upon nevertheless
