This shows the risk that a

clearly within his rights in

Washington, D. C.-When
the Republican party had
smooth sailing and New Eng
land and the East dominated
the affairs of the nation, but
little thought was given to the
Negro or the problems which
affected him.
Now with the South occu-
pying the position given by
the Republicans tc another
section of the country, many
influential men of the East
find time to survey the situa-
ton and inquire, was our
treatment Of the Negro just"
and ARE we to now pay for
our failure to make an alli-
ance with what should have
naturally been our friends?"
The national administration
is strictly southern, as the
President, the Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court and five
cabinet officers are Souther-
ners. This makes the East a
bit apprehensive as to wheth-
the great business interests of
theirs will be fairly treated
with Southerners heading
many of the important COM
mittees and consequently die
tating legislation.
Before the rebellion the
great slave interests had al
most complete control of the
government and everybody
recognized that at that time
the Sounh's greatness arose
from the institution of slavery.
The country is beginning to
realize that the South's S great
ness now, arises from the sup
preston of the Negro and
while there are probably as
many counter currents of di-
versihed thought in the South
as in other sections of the
country, still it is the Negro
issue which makes the South
strictly democratic.
The South being solidly
democratic gives i. a standing
in national affairs which does
not rightly belong to it by rea-
son of its accomplishments or
merited by its advancement
and now the East sees how
that section of the country is
loosing its prestige and that
too, on account of its neglect
! of the Negro.

Nebraska is the only State
to yield to the recent wave of
Jim Grow" legislation by de-
claring> its preference for con-
cubinage instead of marriage
between whites and Negroes,
Japanese or Chinese. An
amendment to the original
bill excludes Indians from the
provisions of the law. Illinois
is perhaps awaiting the result
of the Jack Johnson case to
decide ON the pending marri-
age law.
