Leo Temple.

We are frank to admit that we know
nothing whatever of the Leo Temple
case. 1t is said by those VINO have
investigated the Ease that there is
doubt as his guilt. Be that as it
may, it is commendable that the PEG,
pie have taken up his case and have
succeeded in securing a reprieve for
him.
Now that the reprieve has been
granted, those who have done that
much for the boy should have the co
operation of all the epople to raise
funds to pay lawyers to look after his
case. Leo Temple deserves justice
be he eve Sc poor. Life is swee
to him, and if he is innocent, tn,
officials do not want his blood on thei
hands.

Public Servants.


Public servants In whatever sphere
they may be engaged, are responsible
to the people. This fact is being
given stress more and more as the
intelligence of the people ascends.
There are no respecters of person in
this matter. The men in politics, in
benevolent associations or those chos-
en- to preach the gospel to mankind,
are all amenable to their creators
the people. There are times when
men who are elected or appointed to
places of public interest forget the
source from whence they received
their commission, and instead of
feeling that they are the servants
of the people, they assume that they
should be served. They command
the people to do their bidding and to
come and go to their beck and call
The time was when such individuals
could hold sway in certain communi
ties, and could have their way in
most matters. But that day has
passed. The people have learned
their rights. They honor men BY
elevating them to positions of prom
%inence, but when these men so faI
forget themselves that they abus,
those honors, the people see to i
that they r relieved of those honor
and reduced to the ranks.

the beneficiary of liberal contribu-

furthermore, they have pledged them

it remains in that town. This inter

OF Shelbyville and Bedford county
was brought about because the trus-

the institution of which he boasts
as being run exclusively bv Negro

NEGRO BOOKS FOR NEGRO
SCHOOLS,

Textbooks by Negro Authors IN
universities, colleges, academies and
public schools for Negroes, seems to
be the slogan of the greater number
of Negro educators at present. The
matter was discussed in Nashville
this week by some of the leading
Negroes of the United States. 1t is
stated by good authority that such a
plan is contemplated and that the
school book committee for the South
ern States is favorable to Negro text
books.
One gentleman during the discussion
stated that unless some steps were
taken to educate the Negro boy and
girl as to the achievements of his
race that within the next ten or
twelve years the NEGRO would know
absolutely nothing about the achieve
ments of his ancestors. He declares
that the average Negro boy or girl in
the universities and colleges does not
know the names of four members OF
their own race who have graced the
halls of Congress, that they know
nothing of Negroes as inventors nor
have they any knowledge whatever Of
the Negro from a historic point
of view. He made the statement
that few Negro children to-day know
anything of the bravery Of the sol
diers at Fl. Lillow and Ft. Wagner
nor do the children right here in
Tennessee, yea to bring matter closer
Tennessee, yea to bring the matter
closer home still, within the bounds
T of Nashville, know Of the bravery OF
/ the Negro soldiers at Ft. Negley.
! The feasibility of this plan and the
l results it must bring in the way OF
race pride and strengthening Of NOR
al stamina, is not only being davo
4 Gated by Negroes but by soem of the
. prominent white citizens of Nashville
: who have had the matter under seri
Gus consideration, with a view tt
launching such a movement.
It is stated that Professor at Tus
> kegee Institute, Alabama, has a manu-

THE PRESIDENT-ELECT AND HIS
COLORED FELLOW-CITIZEN.

ITO those who do not know me,
perhaps it is not unnecessary for me
to assure my colored fellow-citizens
of my earnest wish to see justice
done them in every matter, and not
mere grudging justice, but justice ex-
ecuted with l~iberality and good feel
ing. Every guarantee Of u law,
every principle Of our constitution,
commands this, and our sympathies
should also make it easy.
THE colored people Of the United
States have made extraordinary
progress towards self-support and
usefulness, and ought to be encour
aged in every possible and proyer
way. My sympathy with them is Of
long standing, and l want to assure
them through you that should be
come President of the United States
they may count upon me for absolute
fair dealing and for everything by
which / could assist in advancing the
interest Of their race in the United
States Woodrow Wilson to BishoI
Alexander Walters.
If the President-elect lives up t
the letter and spirit of the above de
~liverance he will make a most sub
|stantial contribution towards a gen
uine emancipation of the Negro racl
from a slavery which is in conaic
with the Hottest and highest ideal
of American life. Many of the nc
blest friends the race has and eve
has had, are men of Virginia birth

WILSON'S FLECTIoN.

Contrary to the general view, we
do not believe that Woodrow Wilson's
election to the presidency is to be
regarded as fraught with menace to
the colored man.. Mr.. Wilson is a
man of The highest ideals and sense OF
Justice and in the letter which we
published last week and which he
had written 70 Bishop Walters, there
was an expression of the warmest
sympathy with colored people. Many
Negroes in this city voted the demo
cratic ticket-more than the regis
tration indicated would. and there is
no reason to expect hostile legislation
where the Negro is concerned. The
colored people have even in cases
where to do so was to je~opardize their
best interests, continually voted
against the democratic party. and 1t
is but natural that every democrat
should regard a Negro as his politi-
cal enemy. We have just received
a paper called The Illinois Colored
Democrat, in which the cause of de-
mocracy was emphatically advocated
and the paper goes FAR to show that
so far rs the allegiance of the Ne
gro politically is concerned, a new
day has dawned. There is a strong
club of Negro democrats right here
in Louisville. The club has been or
ganized for some time and doubtless
will play a bigger part than any Ne
gro organization has yet played in
local politics. 1t is not a wise po-
litical idea to have the Negroes carry
all Their eggs in n basket, any more
so than 1t is for any other people.
There is one thing certain-Wood-
row Wilson is the highest type of
man the democrats have ever nomi-
mated for Office and his tremendous
majority is an indication Of the fact
that the American people are looking
to him to redress their wrongs with
hope and conference.-the Louisville
Defender.

THE ELECTION OF WILSON.

THE ELECTION OF WILSON.
We presented on October 25 as
truthfully as we could the records of
the three candidates for the Presi-
dency, under the caption Which
Shall It Be-" leaving it to the voter
to determine for himself which he
should choose. The straight and stall
wart lifelong friendship of the ex-
President left us nothing else to do
as the spokesman of the best inter
ests of the progressive colored citi-
zens of this nation but espouse his
cause Because of Mr.. Wilson's atti-
tude toward the race, as expressed
in his history Of slavery, his attitude
toward the admission of colored stu
dents to Princeton, while president OF
Princeton University and his fail
ure to give political recognition to
colored men while Governor Of New
Jersey, we properly assumed that his
attitude toward the black man was
that of the anti-Negro South, ana
that his election would spell disaster
to the political progress of the black
an The r of the issue between
the candidates, so far as it concerned
the colored man, was the South and
his citizenship. His citizenship, we
said, entails not only the right to
vote, but the right to have that vote
honestly counted. We did not es'
pouse the election of Mr.. Taft. Mr..
Taft has not been able to control the
reactionary lily-white leaders Of the
Republican party, North as well as
South. We never charged genial
President Taft with race prejudice,
but with weakness; never with per
sonal nor political ~ennity, but with
an inability to thwart the malign anti
Negro influences behind him playing
havoc with the colored citizens polit
ical rights. We, therefore, felt thai

Young Harold Inlay of Chester
had graduated in law and been taken
into partnership with his father. He
was having what he called a little
fling before settling down to the stern
business of law, and he had an auto
to help him out. The auto revolved
around the country at various speeds,
none of which was less than forty
miles an hour.
On a certain morning when It was
taken out to scorch up the highway 1t
refused to scorch. In fact, 1t went
dead" That's not SO very rare
case. There is little something out

trouble in this case was that nobody

tinker, the blacksmith, the cobbler
and the doctor all diagnosed and pre-
scribed, but without avail. Then tin
peddler came along and hoped of
his wagon and fused for a minute
and hoped on again and drove off.
The auto was now all right. The
young lawyer offered free seats, but
they were declined with thanks. 1t
wasn't their day for dying. The de-
cliners saw man and machine disap-
pear down the highway like a cannon
ball and felt that it was good to be
alive and have dinner coming to them.
Very few lawyers take any mans
word for anything, and not one in ten
would believe peddler under oath.
Young Inlay hadn't cut his legal eye
teeth yet, and he fondly believed. He
would have said to jury that the

Of a motive always raises big doubt

three miles, young Inlay discovered
