The LIQUOR Question.

The Independent Democrats in

Of the government of the state have
again brought to public notice the
ntimation that all the Negroes of
Tennessee ave liquor drinkers.
This is a very unpleasant predica-

to be by those who persist in it, but

ply Of human rights This does not
jibe with the view of Abraham Lin
coin. who, in tie famous letter to c.
Conlling, wrote: And there will be
some black men who can remember
that with silent tongue and clenched
teeth and steady eye and well-poised
bayonet they have helped mankind on
to this great contamination W.T. at
ever the Negro may know about the
philosophy of human rights, he has
had full share in establishing them.
New York World.
Mr.. Gompers declaration has
caused a greet deal of comment and
much revamping of the old-time SEN
timent about the rights of the black
man, but it is suggestive of something
else. 1t presents a new phase of the
race problem, and one more to be de-
triment of the Negro than the denial
of his political rights in the Southern
States that caused so much stir some
years ago, but has now become
quiescent, and seems to be in fair way
of establishment.
The New York World further
says:
But Lincoln lived before the days of
Samuel Gompers.' 1t has been left to
modern labor leader to advance the
extraordinary idea that Negroes, while
fit for citizenship are not competent
to earn a living in a union shop or
factory. Apart from any question Of
rights under the Constitution, Com
pers' attempt to create a labor caste
is hardly likely to work out to the adj
vantage of organized labor. The
100000 Negroes, though lacking
the knowledge of what unions stand for
in the economic world are not lack
ing in manual skill, and they would
constitute a dangerous permanent
body of strike-breakers. Employers
would find them useful for manning
mills, and their opposition would be a
serious menace to union solidarity.
That offers practical solution of
the problem should the Negroes prove
equal to the test, but it means race
war in another form, with the survival
of the fittest. 1t will require a power
of organization on the Negroes part
he has not yet developed.
If they are really equal to the white
men in the arts and crafts, they can
not be shut out of employment. The
demand for reliable workmen is too
great for employers to higgle about
race or color.
But, considered in any light, Mr..
Gompers position presents a new
phase of the race question that will
transfer it largely from the South to
the North or, at least, rob it of its
sectional character.-Nashville Ban

In another column of this issue APP
pears an article about Hortense, Ten

to this sketch. It will be a revela-
ton to many to learn that so large
a number of Negroes are owners of

The Negroes of Hortense are solv-

something. We need many more

to get facts only, and hope no one
will attempt to contribute anything

EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS.
Mr.. coMPERs AND THE NEGRO.

In his speech at the Labor banquet
Thur day night, at 20S n Sth street,
Mr. Gompers, in discussing the Negro,
claimed that: The Negro was not far
enough advanced in civilization to I'M
derstand human rights We do not
agree with NJ. Gompers in his asser-
tom and can easily substantiate our
stand on the question:
In the first place, Negroes are not
so prone to the understanding of hui
mans rights that they attempt to deo
stroy a mans business because he
does not feel that he can pay an eX-
cessive salary for labor. Again, Negro
es are not so inhuman that they resort
to dynamite TO wreck plants of en-
plcyers regardless of the cost Of life.
Furthermore Negroes i'll America are
the kind of Americans who do not
hesitate to help shoulder the burden
of war when the country is in danger
TIC this end we would like to have
Mr.. Gompers tell us just what HE
vancement of American Industries.
We would also like to know if Mr..
Gompers' is trying to add to the lustre
of his reputation by the Vardaman-
TillYan route? The Negro may not
be all that Mr., Gompers thinks he
should be, but there are some people
,in this country who can realize that
whatever progress the black man has
made since his freedom he has out
stripped even the most sanguine mag
nations and done SO with all of the
Odds against him. No race, eau
casion, Asiatic or any other kind can
show so brilliant a record in so short
| a space of time and with exceedingly
narrow limitations ais can the Ameri-
can Negro.-Central Afro-American.
Since the Democrats actually carried
oklahoma just as they want it, Logan

surprise by re-electing Hamlin, col

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER rs, 1910.
No Cause For Alarm.

The Philadelphia Tribune in last
weeks issue is considerably alarmed
over the election held on the Sth of
this month. The Tr bune fears that the
ascendancy of the Democratic party
will result in the repeal of the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amend
ments. 1t is also cited that there
is now a resolution on the calendar
of the House Of Representative
demanding the repeal of the amend
ments commonly called the wal
measures.
The Tribune says on the subject;
We would be false to our hon
est convictions and to the pa
irons of the Philadelphia Tri-
bune if we should declare that we
do not fear the most serious dis
rights of the colored people, as
incorporated in the three war
Amendments, by the Republican
disasters of last week, which
may mean the transfer of the
presidency and both houses of
the Congress to the Democratic
party two years hence.
In such a contingency it is
not improbable that the Demo
cratic party will ADOPT joint
resolution demanding the repeal
of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments by the two-thirds
approval of the 4S states. Could
thirty-two states be got to vote
for repeal? The sixteen Southern
States would vote soildly for it;
so would the border states of
Delaware, West Virginia, Ten
nessee, Kentucky and Missouri,
making twenty two, ieaving only
ten doubtful We are disposed to
count New Jersey, Indiana, Ohio,
Illinois and Cal fornta for repeal.
This would reduce the ten to five.
Nov, which of the other states
would be likely to vote for re-
peal? Let those interested in the
question study the d discomfort of
Democrats and Republicans to the
equal enjoyment Of surrage rights
by the colored people in the re-
naming states of the North and
West from which the five votes
necessary to the required two
thirds could be draNn, and they
will easily locate them in Okla
homa, Kansas. Colorado, North
Dakota, South Dakota and New
Mexico and Oregon, TWO more
than required
There is now resolution on
Che Calendar of the House of
Representatives demanding the
repeal of the Fifteenth Amend
ment. If a Democratic Con
gress should precipitate an issue
like this upon the American peo-
pie rot, blOodshed and confusion
would convulse the land and
the lives of black folks would be
worth no more than they were in
the draft riots in New York in
1862.

to those Negroes who stood with them
in the esent election not to do so.
Thee is no need for a fear that
those Negroes who helped to elect a
governor for the Independents will
ask these same Independents to pay
the dobt They have long since
charged that up to the Republicans
account; and they are used to having
such charged against them The In
dependents can go + ght on and make
up with the parent body and promise
to abide by the rules IN the future,
but it is an unllind cut to insinuate
that all the Negroes in Tennessee are
drunkards.
There is way to settle this ques-
tion once for all, and a legal way at
that. And that is this: have bal
lot for Negroes and ballot for whites,
and then it can be seen who is re
sponsible for the passage or defeat
of the LIQUOR bill. If a majority OF
the Negroes favor liquor traffic it
ought to be known; if the majority
of them are against it the contrary
should not be charged We are will
ing that the test be applied and have
no doubt as to what the outcome
would be.

Personal liberty is thus Its keynote.
A liberty is therefore under the re-
strictions of the law Of goodness and
