would be disposed to follow .
IKE course. To complete the
required thirty-two states. he de-
clares that the evidence Of dis
content with equal SUFFRAGE
rights manifest in Oklahoma
Nansas' Colorado, North Dako-
ta' South Dakota, Oregon and
ne" Mexico, would give this
startling issue fighting chance.
o home folks up in the West
TINS seems like a big piece Of
Pesslmism, but the wide ex-
Perlence and keen discernment
OF a man like r. Thomas For
tune forbid hasty dismissal Of
the arguments by which he Gre
ates a foundation for such
doletul outlook. The fact that
there is now resolution on the
calendar of the House of Rep
resentatlves demanding the re-
peal OF the Fifteenth amendment
does not indicate that even
Democratic Congress could be
prevailed upon to pass such a
resolution. Even the possible
and probable judgment OF the
Supreme Court, sustaining the
recent desicion of the United
States Circuit Court in Mary
land, that the Fifteenth amend
ment nullifes all of the dis
franchising laws of the South
ern states, would hardly have
the effect of precipitating such a
national issue.
The Democratic extremists in
Congress do not fairly represent
the progressive sentiment of the
South, let alone the settled con-
VictiOns of Northerners and
w Westerners who have never had
any reason to feel that the bal
lot in the hands of a Negro is
menace to the welfare of the ma
tion or of the white people of
any state. The spirit of the age
is conclusively against the re-
of issues that are foster
ed only by hte sordid freakish-
ness of that Democracy which is
its time. The new
Democracy seems to The Color
ed Statesman to be given life
the stress of the peo-
pie over matters that are not at
all in accord with any restriction
of established liberties. The
thought of the serious reception
of such an issue in Colorado,
Kansas, California or any of the
freedom-loving states Of the
West, is monstrous.
In the next two years progress
sive Democracy will be as much
on trial as standpat Republican
ism has been, and the wasting
Of the peoples aims by FOSSIL
zed Democratic legislatures
would sent that party into far
more hasty retirement. Never
-heless, it will be a happy day
when these ugly fears can no
onger find reasonable cause for
When it shall be |
definitely proven that the color
ID mans vote need not be based |
lpon a fear of ontoward conse-
Iuences, threatening the liber-
les upon which the virtue OF
lis whole national life is depend
mt, it will be better for him
nd better for the nation OF
which he is now, and is to re-
main, a desirable part. TO that
nd, it may be no calamity II
he test shall come through the
esult of the election OF l9lz.-
,olored Statesman.

THE NEGRO IN 1T

THE NEGRO IN 1T
You may talk about the Negro,
You may name his faults in
finite;
But you cannot turn a wheel
That Negro isn't in it.
You may block his civil rights,
You may say you are again"
it;
But before you turn around,
Some sharp Negro will be in it
You may build your Chinese
Walls
You may plan for every min
ute;
But with all your willy schemes,
Some few Negroes will be in.
You may form your Lilly
Whites"
You may kill your bear and
skin it;
When the pie" is passed around
Some shrewd Negro will be it.
BE it high or be it low,
From cook pot to Senate;
There is not a place on earth,
That Negro isn't in it.
So, my friend, just stop your
folly,
Draw this thought way out
and spin it.
God intends from first to last,
That the Negro must be in it.
iou may try the plan OF Pharoah
Kill the race out, try to thin
it;
#hen the census roll is called.
Negroes always will be in it!
+ you keep on with you lynch
ing,
Take this thought down now
and pin it,;

How Downward Revision Works,

An increasing thrush of imports teS-
tifies to the effectiveness of the Tariff
revision. In the measure of downward
revision. In the month of March just
passed the dutiable imports were $780,
161. 1872. against $71 ,5S7,926 in March
Of last year-at the rate of nearly
5000 900, 900 for the full year. Practi-
cally the same increase as noted in
he non-dutiable imports.
For the nire months ending March
the total imports were $l,1S4,272, 166,
an Increase of 1926, 245,2S1 over the
corresponding months of last year.
Exports fer the same period were
81. 1852 .945 .403. leaving an excess of eX-
ports amounting Sto 16S,673,237 oil
S179 1898, 1855 less than the excess fol
the same nine months OF the proceed
ing year.
In March of this year the imports
exceeded the exports by $19,254,S1S.
The favorable balances of $500. 0OO,
900 a year which the Dirgley Tariff
gave US before 1t was nullifed by th'
Roosevelt foreign trade agreement
are vanishing into thin air.
Tariff revision downward bids f2i
to plunge into Europe's debt al thu
rate of 100000, OOOe to 100000, 900
year. That is the way it is working
in the first nine months Of the exper
iment.
1t would seem that the insurgent
and mugwumps ought to be satisfie
with that showing and not be shout
ing for further Tariff reduction,

Another Free-Trade Proposition.

The special committee On Tariff Oh
the National Association of Clothiers
says that the present schedule X ol
the Tariff of 1909 is ubiquitous" VIII
liam r. Corwine, secretary of the as
ISOLATION, is carrying on vigorous
warfare ON the Tariff through means
OF letters, circulars and newspapers
But Mr.. Corwine will not accomplish
much at that rate. He was secretary
of the Naetonal Council of Com
merce. of which Mr. .Gustave Schwab
was president Both Mr.. Schwab and
Mr.. COrwine have been conspicuous in
Free-Trade work, and their manage
ment of the National Council of Com
merce In connection with Secretary
Straus, another Free-TTader, condemn
cd the association to failure from
the start. 1t has finally 'petered out.
II has not disbanded formally, but
thare has been no one looking after
it's work excepting a poorly paid clerk
for some months, and even he is now
principally employed elsewhere. That
is a demonstration Of the folly OF
trying TO run a natural organization
for business purposes in the interest
of the North German Lloyd Steam
ship Company and its Free-Trade rep
resentatives,

Tariff Wrong Way.

While in Louisville last week the
editor Of this paper was informed at
the Custom House that the John c.
Lewis Company recently imported a
large quantity of gloves upon which
the tariff was reduced at the special
session of Congress fifty cents on
the dozen pair. In fact the company
simply wrote to their merchant on
the other side to duplicate an order
which had been bought before the ne
tariff act went into effect and re-
minded them that a reduction of fifty
cents on the dozen pair should be
made in view of the reduced tariff
To the surprise of the Company when
the goods arrived and the bill came
the foreign merchant had added fifty
cents on the dozen pair, and coolly In
formed Mr.. Lewis that in as much as
he would not have this fifty cent:
to pay 10 the United States govern
ment, that they would coGlecu them
selves. The result is that the pur'
chasers of gloves will have to pay a:
much or more for them than They
did before and Uncle Sam" will
have to do without that much money
which would have gone into hi
pockets to help pay running expenses
and dig the canal. So much for Re
publican-Democratic free trade, o
tariff revision downward.
