OF the right type from the South At
lantic and Gudf States will act as
their brethren elsewhere act; and
then the colored man who is good
citizen will have the same chance in
one place as in another. The Pro-
gressives of West Virginia, Mary
land, Tennessee, Kentucky, have set
a standard to which we have the
reasonable hope that the states touch
ing them on the south will attain
when there is no longer any attempt
made to drive them, when the matter
Is left to their own awakened con-
sciences, and when the men who live
elsewhere, under easier conditions,
themselves do their duty by the Ne
gro, showing neither brutality and
lack of consideration nor foolish SEN
tfmentality and the attempt to treat
shams as facts.
Our hope is that under the lead of
practical competent, high-minded
white men, we shall in the end every
where see-and nowhere save under
such lead will we ever see--the right
OF free political expression secured to
the Negro who shows that he possess
es the intelligence, integrity, and SELF
respect which justify such right of
political EXPRESSION in his white neigh
Dor. That this Is a reasonable hope Is
shown by Mr.. Harris in his letter ans
wertng mine. He says: THE white
man in the South is DESTROYS of gen.
timely helping the Negro. The prog
ress of the Negro individually and ag-
riculturally in the South has been
under the supervision and with the
cooperation Of his white neighbor.
That this progress has been amazing
only glance at the proper govern
ment reports is necessary t. prove.
The patriotic sensible white men Of
the South desire to see the Negro
built up in character and stimulated
to :-ense of personal responsibility
Under these conditions (created
by the actic1~of the Progressive par
ty) lit will become for the first time
possible that the Negro who shows
the qualities that entitle him to res
pect and confidence will, with the
cordial good will Of his white neigh
bors, do his part in healthy political
work for the common good
Both Of the old parties have utterly
failed even to attempt to look this
question squarely in the face, and to
try to solve it in a spirit Of justice
combined with common sense. In
deed, no party for half a century SO
much as made the effort, until the Pro
gressives in Chicago took t',C actic'
they did. No other plan than that We
propose offers even the remotest
chance Of success. That ours, If hon
estly carried out, will work a meas
urable betterment in conditions in
both North and South seems to me
certain. Such being the case, it
should surely be tried.
