RACE NEWS
GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCES

New Orleans, Sept. 13.-Men of
the race here have formed a cor
poration to run publishing house
and daily paper to let the men,
bers of the race in this section of
the country see and know what the
others of the race are doing in 9TH
er sections. One of the members
of the company said, I'VE are the
only race that is not making work
for our sons and daughters. The
time is at hand now that we should
act and we should be outspoken
on everything that is of vital i'm
portance fo~our race. Therefore
we have named the paper the
Daily Spokesman and we hope
to speak, too, not too loud but ir
an audible manner, so as to be
thoroughly understood.''

ened him, by declaring that Mr..
Taft was the cause of the discharge
are conceding to Mr.. Taft a supe-
riority over the former president.
Dwho is thus set forth as a tool and
weakling. The former president
maintains his integrity in that
matter; he has not forgotten his
old denunciators, their position
and villification at that time and
can refer to them alphabetically in
his memoranda. and they are far
from fooling him; their apologies
are both a reflection upon his in
telligence and an insult to his man
hood.
Mr.. Taft is a safe. trained care
full, judicial mind, capable of a
strong reflective judgement and
honesty of purpose. He is delib-
crate in action, not swayed by i'm
pulse, emotion, tickle sentiment,
and we have cause to believe in
him.-New York Age.

AMERICA BAR ASS0CIA-
T|0N AND COLOR LINE

Editorial from Richmond Planet)
The attitude of the officers and
Executive Committee of the Amer
lean Bar Association towards Hon.
William FL. Lewis, Assistant At
torney General, based wholly and
solely upon his color is without a
parallel in the history Of this coun-
try. Itshows that great princi-
plies no longer find a lodging
place in many of the leading char
acters now practicing before the
American bar.
1t has shown that the source of
our supply of judges is tainted and
that this fact accounts for the cor
ruption now said to exist upon the
bench in many parts of the United
States. 1t accounts too for the ag-
itation for the recall of judges and
judicial decisions.
If men of the law, juriets,
would claim that members of the
legal profession, in good standing,
who had been regularly admitted
as members of the American Bar
Association could be debarred
from membership wholly and sole
ly upon the basis of their color,
and without one iota of law to su-
stain such a position, what chance
would these same colored men
have in a court presided over by
any one of these lawyers, who rem
dered such an opinion
Attorney General George w.
Wickersham was equal to the
emergency and the fight which he
made will not only endear him to
alright thinking people but will
attract to him the favorable atten-
tion and commendation of the civ
illzed world. A most significant
fact in connection with the action
of the American Bar Association
itself was the adoption by that
body of a report denouncing as
dangerous to the country" all
movements for the recall of Judges
or of judicial decisions.
On the next breath. SO to speak,
this Association adopted resolu-

POLITICS AND
THE NEGRO

vada, and the presidential nomi-
nee, Woodrow Wilson, all favor the
elimination of the Negro as an ele-
n1ent of political power, his sub
lection in the moral, industrial, ed
ucational, political and religious
scale. AS a proposition of equality,
in any sense, the Negro is not con-
sidered. The anti-Negro sentiment
prevails; as a political yoke-fellow
he is not wanted only as a menial
to hew, scrub and a bearer of bur-
dens.
For progress (?) this party
enunciates the three-fold principle
the initiative, referendum and
recall, A metaphysical illusion to
ensure the certain denial of a COM
mon heritage of American citizen
ship to the man of color. The ar
gument has been faithfully ad.
vanced, and which many Negroes
have linjudiciously and ignorantly
conceded that, the right of citizen
ship was conferred too soon upon
the Negro; therefore, was a politi-
cal blunder, a mistake. The new
party would so construct itself and
operate to correct that mistake.
The fangs are invisible and the
rabidity of Bourbon Democracy is
veiled, and it fails to assert a hui
name Interpretation of the national
constitution, at the same time, limit
the interpretive amendments and
thus render them ineffective under
state constitutions.
Considering the innumerable
cases of disfranchisement the Ne
gro's voting power is weak, his
ratio is but a fraction of vote as
against eight votes. In the initia-
tive process what would be his
chance for remedial legislation in
the case of the eight initiating leg
islation ON the color line, however
unjust or unreasonable, how could
he resist? The Negro, under the
initiative, would be /powerless to
propose anything.
The referendum is still worse for
him. The representatives, in the
legislature, could enact any law,
reflective and injurious, which he
could not muster sufficient voting
power to counteract or disannul.
If the legislature, in wisdom. fair
ness, conscientiously would enact
law protecting the manhood and
citizenship of the Negro, the ma
jority, from motives of prejudice
and through demagoguery could
easily defeat the same. The Chris
tian, philanthropic heart in law
making, would not only be Knocked
but rendered unpopular as a rep
resentative.
The recall, IL operation. would
victimize him before the bar of JUS
tice, the mob and popular clamor
would intimidate the judge. as the
Jews did Plate; the arm of justice
would be rendered feeble and con-
temptible, for the Negro could not
rally vindication at the ballot the
effort to degrade and recall the
judicial decision. The laws inter
prefer would be exposed to obey
the voice of demanding clamor.

1t is interesting too to note that

of the fact. that he is of such race. :"
This resolution was voted upon
and declared carried. 1t recogniz-

DROWNS At CHICAGO

Columbis, Ohio. Sept. 10-With
small fortune amassed at the age
of 81, Earl Ward, one of the best
known colored residents of Colum-
bus. for some unknown reason
drowned himself in Lake Michigan
at Chicago. His body was recov-
cred last week and was sent to
Columbus for burial.
From his peculiar actions prior
to death it is believed Ward COM
mitted suicide while deranged.
His sister, Mrs. Blanche Byrd,
2S3 South Twenty second street,
received a telegram from him,
which said he was i'll Chicago. He
had gone to that city August Is as
a delegate to the meeting of the
National Business League, Mr..
Ward was president of the local
branch.
Ward, who was engaged in the
transfer business at Ill South
Champion avenue, lived at 231
Sherman avenue.
The day after sending the tele-
gram he telephoned his sister, ask
ing her to send HIM "a suit OF cloths
that was at his house. The follow
ing day he countermanued the re-
quest, saying he was coming home.
Mrs. Byrd received u small money
order from him Monday, ahd Tues
day he sent his keys and dia-
mond ring to his brother, w, b.
Ward. No explanation accom-.
panied either. The handwriting
on the envelope WAS not ards.
The body was found where it

were there any marks of violence

Democracy is delusive snare
to the Negro. He can never be a
Democrat, as is now understood.
He is neither solicited nor wanted,
an undesirable quantity, strenu-
ously objected to and his citizen
ship begrudged. The party, in it
self, is still the same sentimental,
racial grouping, founded on color
prejudice, the assumption of su-
perior race and the dominator of
the inferior race-that is Negro.
1t is the organism and surviving
oligarchy which originated the re-
bellion under the gross assumption
of "a white man s country and a
white man s government. 1t is
the maintainer of the white pri-
mary" in which not a single Ne
gro vote is allowed to be cast. 1t
declares class and caste and there
fore party for whites only.
Notwithstanding, we see the pro-
scEibed and ostiacized Negro, lille
Ultimately wearing the Democratic
badge. begging and vainly petition
ing the National Committee to in
sert word or two modifying ra-
cial prejudice against arrogance,
and the inclusion of a platform
plank of principles, or general,
just and rightful recognition of the
claims of simple manhood. 1t
would seem that manhood, how
ever craven and degraded, in
stinctively resents every form of
repulsion, indication of bondage
and slavery; it is the instinct of
the dumb brute which growls and
snarls at rude and contemptuous
treatment. nor do they forget.
Democracy wilfully misconstrues
the National Constitution, which is
the supreme will of the people, and
denying that the "Negro has any
rights which a white man is bound
to respect" regarding the Negro
always as an alien and an inferior.
No white man has any belief or
confidence in a Negro Democrat.
In mental reservation the Negro so
pretends; in reality hypocrite
and only a sinister diplomacy
checks the outspoken imputation.
How can there be Negro Demo
crats4 Everywhere, especially be-
low the Mason and Dixon line, he
is the pariah, the subject Of Jim
Crowism," open and silent deri-
sion, the object of deep race hat
red and most violent lynch law,
even to lynching women. AS a
Democrat, the Negro is generally
endured, calculatively tolerated as
of mercenary preferment, hope
for sordid gain, ambition for place,
and is so to find a short route to
cheap fame and personal recog-
milton. Certainly he does not stand
on his merits and true worth as
man. Later on he is kicked. The
Negro is by no means deceiving his
white brother who well knows that
that stratum of superiority which
he persistently denies to the Negro,
contradict and to maintain, the
Negro ultimately seeks to establish.
