Washington, ID. c., Oct. 23-The

Wise-acres who can remember as far
back as Lincoln's time and VIII.

IbetWeen Grant and Greeley in 1872,
and between Hayes and Tilden iii
1876, shake their heads grimly and
hesitate to risk their reputation as
a prophet By telling just what is
going to happen on the fifth day Of
November. That the trend is to-
ard Taft all will agree. The bust
ness forces, anxious to hold intacs
the unprecedented prosperity Of the
times, seem to prefer Taft, and the
wage workers, dependent upon CAPT
tai for their opportunity to work at
the various trades, seem ready to
follow the men Of money. There
Is much Roosevelt sentiment, Of
course and the friends OF Wilson
aim that they will win in a walk.

The Negroes Duty in the Political
-, Situation.
The Republican party has COM
Dletely fallen under the dominion Of
the sinister alliance between cor
rupted political bosses on the one
hand and crooked big business on
the other, SO that the great masses
OF the white people Of the country
are thrown into a great social ana
political struggle to restore repre-
sentative government to it's true and
proper functions in the interest OF
all the people as against the Sc
lected few. The Republican party
secretly abandoned =. the Negro In
1876 to secure the election of Hayes
to the presidency. The present
republican president has completely
Carried out his formal announce
meDt Of the Negroes abandonment IN
1908. With all the branches of the
Federal government in the hands Of
the Republican party, the Civil
RIGHTS bill enacted for the protec-
ton of the Negro citizens was de-
clared unconstitutional and annuIled
by a Republican Supreme Court, in
spite OF the 18th, 18th and 18TH
amendments to the American~~con-
IS .ttu Ion. And one constitutional
and natural right after another is
being taken from the colored citi-
zens with such rapidity that they
stand in, many respects before the
country and the world as civil and
political serfs. The Negro has de.
pended upon the Republican party
IN vain, He stands lin American
+Dolitical life at the parting OF the
ways. A new party in the Progress
isive movement, representing the
best brain and conscience Of the
country, led by the greatest person
ality upon the globe, takes up the
! fight for humanity, for larger indus
| trial and political justice for the
people, and asks the Negfo to take
! his place IN the councils and the
ranks upon his merits. The Ne
arocs fl the Republicans primaries
carefully weighed and considered
the Negro politics Of President Taft
land Colonel Roosevelt, and by the
thousands they Joined the white
masses and hoCked to the standard
Of the great Progressive leader. In
another form this is the same fight
for justice for the people az against
the favored few. and those who real
{ ~ believed in Roosevelt then will
not desert BIN now. TO aid In sciz-
irg the reins OF popular government
IS the Negfo's opportunity. The Ne
gro will then be able to do for him
self what he has been depending up-
on the Republican party TO do for
him

preachment became known an Taft's
Southern policy. 1t was and is so
f1agrantly un-American and unjus..
that it was openly condemned by
some of the strongest and ablest
supporters Of the Taft administra-
ton.
The New York Age, one. Of tho
leading national Negro newspapers
of the country, which advocated the
enpmination of President Taft, and
which now urges his election to the
presidency, in the issue Of February
Is, 1912, among other things, said:
Tie Age is flooded with letters
from its readers protesting against
President Tafts Southern policy, as
outlined in a recent issue Of the
Outlook, in an authorized inter-
view, and in the actual working OF
the policy which has flied the Fed
eral service with white Lilly
Whites,' and white Democrats, who
have showed the Negroes who have
been Republicans from their youth,
aside, and who are not expected,
nor, in many instances, allowed to
take an active part in the district
and state conventions of the Nation
al Republican party in Chicago. The
situation has become one Of the ut
most gravity, for which the Negro
Republicans OF the North and West
are constrained. by the politicas
policies which menace them, to re-
gard as Of the utmost gravity for
them also"
The concluding paragraph Of the
Age editorial bespeaks the high
quality Of the candor and frankness
Of the editor, but it contains a con-
fessiCn and an Indictment Of a
strong friend against President Taft,
which is sufficient within itself to de-
prive the President Of every Negro
vote in the country for reelection.
The Age continues, =
The Age earnestly desires the re-
=; nomination and election Of President
Taft, but we are handicapped
by the Southern policy Of the Presl-
dent and the recent pose Of the lilly
white office holders in the South TO
+ freeze the Negro Republicans out or
the party. They cannot be frozen
out Of the Republican party in the
Southern states without having
them freeze toward the Republican
party in the Northern and Western

The Taft Southern policy has rroz-

party in the South, and as the Age
predicted the time has arrived in the
Northern and Western states for lhs
Negro to freeze toward the ReDubli-
can party in self defense.

The Principle OF the Taft ,Negro
Policy
Although President Taft was
elected upon a platform which
pledged him to carry out what arc
Known as the Roosevelt policies,
yet he began to discard them before
he<entered upon the duties Of his
office. Before his administration was
two years old he had driven. thir-
teen important states from the Re-
publican to the Democratic column;
he had reduced the Republican
numbers in the Senate to a bare
working majority! he had changed
an overwhelming Republican major
ity in the House to minority Of
nearly fifty; he had .hopelessly di-
Vided the Republican party into two
warning and irreconcilable camps:
and had successfully reDudiatet.
every important plank in. the plat
form upon which he secured his
election. He was the first Republi-
can president to place the seal of
his official sanction upon the growth
and expansion Of discrimination and
race prejudice by declaring in his
inaugural address that he would not
appoint Negroes to office where such
appointments would he attended with
friction. He expressed the belief
that it was better fer the Negro to
abdicate his manhood and surrender
his natural and civil rights where
their exercise and possession we're
attended with friction.
upon this inaugural announce
ment President Taft based his
Southern policy toward the Negro
citizens. He plainly told the Negro
and his country in the course Of his
administration that in civil and edit
rattonal affairs the Negro must be
treated separate and distinct
from the white race. He Under
mined the very foundations Of the
Negroes hope in the Republican
party to deliver him from the hann3

world to understand that the Taft
administration had abandoned the
Negro formally as the Republican

ago, to WORK out his destiny hnder

conditions. The conduct Of the adj

OBITUARY.

Not only the family and the Meth
odist Episcopal church, of which he
was a faithful member, but also the
whole community have sustained
loss in the passing TO his eternal rest
of Milton h. Sturtevant, which oc-
curred Saturday, September l4th
rhe funeral was held Sunday after
noon at 2:30 p. m. IN the Newman
NJ. +. church and was attended by
large number of friends. The Royal
Neighbors, The Woodmen, the Home
Missionary society and many friends
testified to their high appreciation of
the life and character Of the depart
ed brother in the beautiful floral em-
blems with which they decked the
casket and the grave.
As the casket was borne from the
hearse TO the church door the Royal
>eighbors, dressed in white and each
bearing beautiful floral offerings
lined each side of the pathway. Fol
lowing the family into the church
they passed up the aisle to the altar
and covered the casket with flowers.
The burial service was conducted
by Rev. William jeffrey Jr, the pas
tor of Newman church, assisted by
Rev Robert Mclean, pastor Of Beth
any Presbyterian church. Brother
Sturteyant and the Presbyterian pas
tor were close neighbors, and close
friendship had sprung up between
them. At the request Of the family
and the Methodist pastor Mr.. Nc
Lean made a few remarks concerning
his friend and neighbor He said.
There is no better place to get ac-
quainted with man than over the

Many were the little tokens of the
kindly heart that passed over the

show that 1t was born of the spirit Of
the Master. When there were those
