I The Chicago Platform
| While the Negro is benefited by all
OF the remedial agencies mentioned in
the platform adopted at Chicago, he
is most vitality concerned about those
| things that bear upon his rights as q
citizen. Two clauses in the platform
appeal to the race with especial EN-
phasiS. The language is not ELUSIVE,
but the very plainness apd directness
of the phraseology carries more force
than if it "slobbered''-or thundered
| too loudly in the index. These planks
are impressive:
The Republican party reaffirms its
intention to uphold at all times the
authority and integrity OF the courts
both State and Federal, and it will
ever insist that their powers to en-
force their processes and to protec;
life, Liberty and property shall be pre-
served inviolate."
Again:
WE call upon the people TO quick
en- their interest in public affairs to
condemn and punish lynchings and
other forms of lawlessness, and to
strengthen in all possible ways a re-
spect for law and an observance of
it,"
The foregoing excerpts will arouse
discussion among our people and will
be ampliticd by editorial writer's and
orators on the stump. President
Taft is to talk to the people from
time to time, and ii is not doubted
that he will meet the colored people
with perfect frankness, reiterating
the sentiments of his recent speech in
denunciation of lynching and taking
the highest ground for a more vigor-
GUS prosecution Of all who transgress
provement Of conditions, the firmness
of the courts III melting out adequate
punishment to offenders against civil
rights laws and TO classify lynchers
as murderers, with penalty to fit the
Icrime, must be a vital force.
Secretary Hillcs For National

The assurance that Secretary
Charles D. Hilles is to be chairman Of

there is certain to be square deal,
Everybody who is worth anything
will have a chance to work, and will
be given due credit for what he does.

by the party. From the outset of the
' Taft propaganda, Mr.. HilleS has been
! the logical man for the place--a fact
