The Black Voter.

Editor The Washington Herald:
IN their endeavor TO win the friendship
Of the white citizens and political rulers
Of this great nation It is no belittling
thing for the colored voters to court the
friendship Of the Democratic party.
Yet. If he is wise the black man should
court the friendship Of every influential
statesman. regardless of his political
faith. While the Democratic party has
in the past been hostile 10 the colored
people in regards TO granting them ell OF
their rights as American citizens. It Is
but fair 10 conclude that some Of the ad.
herents OF that party have said and done
much for the uplift OF the colored man
and brother.
The sooner the negro gets II out Of his
head that all Democrats are his enemies
and all Republicans his friends the better
il will be for him. He should seek 10
know his friends In both of the two great
parties and stand by them. regardless Of
the cost 10 do it, On the other hand. he
should seek diligently to hpd the enemy
in both parties-for they are there all
right-and vote against them every time
an opportunity presents itself.
The colored voters have always been
true to the Republican party. but they,
unlike other races of American citizens.
viii never again amount 70 very much in
the political world until they awake from
their political slumber and be identi-
fed in all political parties. This is his
only political redemption, regardless Of
what the sO-caIled (self-made) leaders
among them may say TO the contrary.
The eOlOred voters OF this country are
20 a faro Hacrrna raGTnncihla for
the fight generally made against them by
the Democrats. They fight the Demo-
Gratis. even in their church and prayer
meetings; and what coward is he who
wouldn't strike back when he is being
numerically beaten2 The eolored people
viii always feel grateful 10 the Repub-
lican party for the many good deeds done
them. bat they have made it greatly
against themselves by remaining in that
party as a whole, And the time is now
fun ripe for a division of their vote.
The old-time negro politicians have had
their day. No longer will they be allowed
10 boast of the fact that they carry so
many thousands of the votes of their
race around in their vest pockets for the
highest bidder; and the politicians who
In the future accept such bids or promises
from these political sharks are going TO
lose out.
For nearly half a century the schem-
| ing negro politicians have used their own
brethren as a stepping stone 10 lucra-
tive Federal Offices, and the year of our
Lord, 1870 should mark the dawn Of a
new era in the shifting OF the colored
vote And may the time soon come when
the negroes will do a little thinking for
themselves, at least, TO the extent that
their political faith may not be known
by the color of their skin or the kinks in
their hair J. c. CUNNINGHAM.

Let the Swamps Alone.

Editor TIE Washington Herald:
James J. Hill recently said that the
State legislatures and the national gov
eminent should cease all further appro-
priations for everything until they were
out Of debt The one exception that he
made was IN case OF war. Though not
a financier, this has always been my
common-sense view
Now, we have OF late among US great
many State and national conservators
who want all natural resources con-
served, or, in other words. made the
best OF; but to accomplish this conserva-
ton they are in some Instances calling
for large sums from the States, and,
with these hardly sufficient, they are
advancing upon the national government
to secure aid from ii also.
Both the States and the national gov
eminent are deeply in debt. and the
question arises. Is conservation really
such when II Increases the public debt2
According to the view OF James J. Hill,
It would be answered IA the negative.
The retaining of swamp lands is just
one sample OF conservation via heavy

rich and famous though they often are

Twentieth Century Ideal.

Editor The Washington Herald:
The following quotation appeared IL
Men OF Washington" February 3, 1910:
I'VE are In the days spoken OF by the
prophet when he said: 7 will pour out
my spirit upon all flesh. and your old
men shall dream dreams. and your young
men shall see visions The nineteenth
century ideal OF government was the
greatest good for the greatest number.
greatest good for all The nineteenth
century thought Of government as az
oppressive and repressive force, imposed
upon most men against their wills.
The new conception Of government diff
fers entirely from that in conceiving all
human government as indeed a divine in
stitutiOn.
The first recorded reference to the
American people and their government
was made by Jacob IN giving his blessing
to the two sons Of Joseph. He placed his
right hand upon the head Of Epbraim
and said: Ills seed shall become the last
thing in nations. Manasseh shall be
great. but truly his younger brother
Ephraim shall be greater than be-"
The American people have not yet
awakened to their divine mission as a
power extending the blessing Of govern
ment to all families of the earth. When
ever the prophets mention the kingdom OF
God, It is the government of the people
that they write about. There is a day in
the future for the American people still
more glorious than the Fourth OF July.

The First Duty.

From the New York Mar.
Blackstone in his famous "Commen-
taries" submits as a sound rule OF action
that the first duty Of a legislative body
is not 10 legislate, but seriously TO con-
slider whether any legislation IS necessary.
That principle may have struck our Eng
lish ancestors as wise and proper. but 10
Is perfectly clear that the United States
Congress takes no stock in it. Consider
the record of the recent session. In the
House nearly, II not quite, 2S,0l0 bills
were introduced, and more than 1900 were
presented In the Senate, and these figures
make no account Of the large number or
resolutions offered in both branches. or
course the great majority Of that vast
number of bills went into pigeon holes
where they are slumbering peacefully.
but more than 10000 were reported upon
by the committees, most OF them I'M
favOrably. The bills adopted by the
House. q large proportion OF them private
bills. number nearly 5000, perhaps 500
of them relating TO pensions. SO far as
the number of bills introduced is con-
cerned the late session was record
breaker. Our statespen evidently felt
obliged TO DO something 10 show that they
