THE RULE OF THE PEOPLE.

The national Progressive party,
committed to the principle Of govern.
ment by a self.eontroIIed democracy
expressing its will through represen.
tatIves Of the people pledges itself to
secure such alterations In the funda.
mental law Of the several states and
Of the United States as shall insure
the representative character Of the
government.
In particular this party declares for
direct primaries for the nomination
of state and national officers, for ma.
tion-wide preferential primaries for
candidates for the presidency. for the
direct election Of United States sena-
tors by the people: and we urge on
the states the policy Of the short bal
lot with responsibility to the people
secured by the initiative, referendum
and recall.
This is the plank in the platform
condeming States Rights, and the re-
vival Of the Civil Rights Bill, which
the Republicans never passed.

And while we can hope to offer
nothing now to the discussion of the
color line problem, I am glad to re-
port in advance that my observa-
lions have tended to fix in my mind
the conviction which have long
since entertained, that there is es-
sentially no difference in the various
races Of men. Rich and poor, high
and low, we are all simply men.
Culture and civilization are not hand.
ed down from family to family, from
generation to generation. There Is
no royal road to refinement. Each
generation must acquire culture for
itself. II the Negro race has not
reached the high stage of civilization
attained by other races, suffer not
the delusion that 1t is because Of in.
herent inferiority, for it Is not. It is
on account Of the fact that the major.
ity Of the race has not yet found its
way into the proper environment. and
has not yet struck the fountain OF
knowledge accumulated by countless
generations. The facilities for reach.
ing this fountain are not yet well
developed; but the tendency is to.
ward the goal.-Chas. Alexander. in

EDUCATOR APPEALS TO HELP
NEGRO GIRL.

Asserts She Receives Less Protection
And Resject Than any Being.
Chicago.-A plea for the Negro
girl was made in an address by Prof.
William Pickens of Talladega col
lege, Alabama, at the graduating ex.
ercises Of the Provident Hospital
Training School for Nurses.
AN institution like Provident hos.
pital is manifesting this noble mod.
ern Christian spirit in two ways"
said Prof. Pickens. First, in caring
for the needy of its own neighbor.
hood, and second In pointing a way
Of life to the most neglected member
Of rather neglected group of Amer.
lean citizens-the Negro girl.
81 say without envy and without
grudge that the white girl of America
Is the best cared for creature that has
ever appeared on the face of the
earth.
"On the other hand, the Negro girl
Is almost without employment except
Of the most mental sorts, and receives
less protection from public opinion
than from the law. For the unpro-
tected, unsupported girl Homework,
personal low wage service, is full of
death. What must the Negro girl do?
Stay at home In idleness? Idleness
Is full Of weakness and temptation.
So there she Is, between vultures on
the right and tempters on the left
on the one hand death and on the
other sin.
1.-THE most virtuous creature In the
United States Of Americas 10 q viz.
tuous Negro woman. Her resisting and
enduring powers are Of the highest
order. In this she Is q prototype and
phrophecy Of what her race 10 to be,
" Il will overcome. Her character 10
often assaIled In fact, and her repu.
tation more often assaulted In Islander.
But those of US who know the
Negro race kniw that the virtuous
colored woman's name is legion and
that her ranks are increasing. It
seems almost absurd to feel the
necessity of saying 80, but the bold.
ness Of the Islander ELECTS the de.
Tense. This woman has honored her
sex by proving the virtue Of woman.
hood as few groups Of women IN the
history Of the owrld have ever had
the privilege Of proving 1t. She has
run the gauntlet of a double fire and
delivered the destinies Of q race"

without assistance. Mack Poland had
picked out the safe for his part in the
operations. Joe Hartley promised to
carry over one billiard ball, but decid :
