the existing social pisitions.'
We think that our readers will ad-
init. that the foregoing is as terse
and emphatic as if it had been CON-
posed in Mississippi. In fact the
Mississippi legislature could readily
adapt it for domestic use by simply
substituting "Afro-American" for the
names of classes mentioned. More
over American Bishops and Senators
have given utterance to similar senti-
ments. Indeed there seems to be in
the United States an evident trend to
the opinion that the republican form

THE REAL QUESTION,

The real question to be decided in
the pending congressional election is
whether or not the South, through
the 1nstrumentality of Democratic
congress shall make the first move in
seizing the reins of government and
debating the future policy.
The Democratic party has always
been dominated by the South and un-
der its domination it has perpetuated
such outrages as the Fugitive Slave
law' the Judge Taney opinion, the
Jim Grow Car laws, the grandfather
clauses and the race riots of the South
and North. We include those of the
North, becaues any sensible man can

A DEMOCRATIC TENDENCY.

Should anyone accuse the Democrat
lc party of anarchistic tendencies, the
accusation would be resented with
much Indignation, and the counter ar
gument would be the easily made ref
erence to the many eminent Demo
cratic addresses which show no trace
OF such tendency. But that does not
completely refute the accusation. It
does not prove the non-existence of the
virus; but simply shows that it has not
yet permeated the whole body.

TAFT AND THE AFRo-AMERlcAN

TAFT AND THE FRO-AMERlCAN.
The appointment of William H. Lew
is, Of Massachusetts, as Assistant At
torney General Of the United States,
marks new era in race progress. It
is a positive advance over anything in
the line of political appointments ever
made by a Republican President
1t is said that this is but the first of
number of new appointments of high
grade which are to be given to the
Atro-American people, in pursuance of
a policy that is being worked out for
a broad recognition of the race in Fed
eral appointments.
In his inaugural address President
Taft said:
"The Negroes are now Americans.
Their ancestors came here years ago
against their will, and this is their only
country and their only flag
ANY recognition of distinguished
Negroes, any appointment to Office from
among their number, is properly taken
as an encouragement and an apprecia.
ton Of their progress, and this just
policy shall be pursued"
President Taft has appointed other
Afro-Americans to good places in the
Government service, but the import
ance of the Lewis appointment lies in
the fact that it is a higher place than
has ever before been given to one OF
the race.
AS Assistant Attorney General it will
be necessary to assign Mr.. Lewis tc
some Of the most important legal work
Of the Government and it is certain
that he is we'll qualified for the place.
An Assistant Attorney General out
ranks many high officials and the Afro
American people are pleased to know
that they have a representative of the
race so near in rank to a. Cabinet of

Administration NageI Says.

Hon. Charles Nagel, Secretary of
Commerce and Labor, declared in a
speech before Missouri Republicans
that President Taft was the "construc-
tive genius of the preceding admins
tration." Much of the success of the
Roosevelt ideas. he said, was due to
the administrative ability of Mr.. Taft
as Secretary of War and as governor
of the Philippines.
Il believe" he said, "the preceding
administration rendered enormous
service to the country in it's policies
on important questions, and Mr.. Taft
was in full sympathy with these poll

of that time"
