PRESIDENT TAFT AND THE CEN
SUS.

Colored men are barred from APP
pointive positions IN the Southland
due to the mandates Of the South
ern oligarchy and the cordial ap-
proval of President William II. Taft
Now comes another wall and more
agitation. Here is a specimen OF IT,:

about what they suppose 10 be the
possibility that negroes may be sent
into the homes OF white residents Of
the south as enumerators to gather
information for the thirteenth decen-
NAL federal census, democratic mem
bers OF congress will urge President
Taft TO give Instructions that only
white enUmerators shall be employed
In districts south OF the Mason 3
and DiXon's line Representatives
OF the southern states in con gress
say that they have little hope of pre-
venting the employment of negroes.
unless the president interferes.
This is about as arrogant a pro-
position as any that we have ever
heard offered. Still. these Negro
haters have been led to believe that
the President of the United States
will listen TO such appeals and dis
regard the plain provisions Of the
civil service rules. Colored men DO
not have TO be sent into the homes
OF the white residents OF the South
Tor they are there already as but

Reports Of the experience of the

bill provided that the enumcrators
should be appointed by the president.
The usual requirement that the APP
poiatments should be contingent
upon the advice and consent of the
senate was absent An amendment
was adopted in the senate supplying
this deficiency.
Then follows the following state
ment:
When the bill was considered in
conference the president Is reported
TO have told some OF the members
that if the senate provision were ELI
minated. he would see TO II himself
that satisfactory class of supervi-
sOrs and enumerators would be en-
ployed. Senator Taliaferro then
called at the White House and saws
he understood the president as Civ
ing him the same assurances. The
Florida senator then voted I'm con-
ference 20 strike out the provision
requiring that the appointments
should be confirmed by the senate
but in spite OF the fact that a ma
jOrity OF the conferees of the senate.
which originated the amendment.
voted TO strike out the provision. the
house conferees and a minority OF
the senate conferees declined to a
bandon it.
Democratic senators assert that il
was their understanding that census
enumerators in the southern states
should De apportioned between the
Republican and Democratic parties.
This then is a plain statement.
1T indicates that the President
of the United states is in full accord
and sympathy with the senseless agi-
tation now going on against the Ne
groes or this section Of the country.
The report says further:
They say it IS not the loss of
this patronage that disturbs them
but the fear that the Republican
referees will pay political debts
through the appointment Of negroes.
Thus far I'm the administration of
President Taft all OF the Republican
patronage referees i'm the southern
states have been white. but that con
diton has not always existed. It Is
asserted also that some of these
referees are largely under obIiga-
lions 20 negro leaders for the promi-
nent positions they hold in Republic
can councils.
All OF these conditions tend 20 oc-
casion concern In the south. The fact
that admission TO the home cannot
be denied 20 enumerators. white or
black. who hold government commits
sions 90 gather statistics. serves to
aggravate the situation. II Is for this
reason that the minority in congress
has decided TO appeal TO the Presi- |
dent
We shall note with much interest
the result Of this appeal. Did Pres
ident Taft make the promises that
he is alleged TO have made? Did he
decide 20 recognize the discrimina-
ton on account OF race and color
within the scope and limits OF the
Civil Service Department OF the gov
ernment2 This information will be
interesting to the tens OF thousands
OF colored voters in the Northern
and western States. Ia the mean
time, we shall see what we shall see.
