In those states and parts of states
where the schools are mixed, the
Negro child has opened to him all of
the educational facilities provided for
the more favored class. Throughout
this entire region, the educational sit
uation is marked contrast with that
of the farther south where the school
system is so meagre and imperfect as
to be entitled to that designation only
by courtesy of language.
Politically, the Negroes in these
states enjoy free and unhampered
privilege of the franchise. If restric-
ton of the right of suffrage has been
suggested in West Virginia and
threatened in Maryland, it has not as
yet been put into execution. Mary
land and Kentucky alone have separ-
ate car laws for local travel. l tlnd,
however, that in all cases the Negro
has to maintain a ceaseless effort and
eternal vigilence to safeguard the
civil privileges which, it is sad to re-
late, are everywhere being restricted
and confined to narrower and mar
rover limits. There is little enthusi-
general attitude toward the present
administration is one of complacent
expectancy. There is large exer-
else of political faith which, like its
spiritual prototype, is the evidence OF
things not seen and the substance OF
things hoped for. Everyone is i'm
pressed with the kindly. genial, gen.
erous, personal disposition of Presi-
dent Taft, but when his attitude
toward the vital rights of the race is
broached with hope and fear strug-
Cling for the ascendency, the uni
versal response is ''It does not yet ap-
pear what it shall be-" Negro poll
ticians are singing in concerted
Chorus the old familiar song:
'H;ehold stranger at the door;
He gently knocks, has knocked be-
fore;
Has waited long, is waiting still,
You treat no other friend so ILL.,"
Economically, the Negro workman
finds himself confronted with the in
exorable law of Anglo-Saxon competi-
tion which may be expressed in the
motto: Where there is work enough
and to spare, the black man may have
what there is to spare, but the white
workman must receive first choice
The sceptre of the hotel and the bar
ber shop have already passed from
the Negro race. Negro workmen are
found, however, in the packing houses
and smelling works which employ
them in large numbers. There is also
a tendency to organize and develop
independent business enterprises and
one sees everywhere neat and orderly
Negro barber shops, restaurants, drug
stores and groceries. These are most
encouraging indications, for the same
kind of calculation, orderliness and
business shrewdness here demanded
will lead to success when applied to
other lines of commodities.
The fastener is surprised at the
lumber of costly and beautifully aD-
pointed homes which the Negroes are
accruing throughout the West.
This stretch of country under dis
cussion is essentially farming
