PROGRESSIVE PARTY
in THE SOUTH

7 A great many reports are COM
ing to us from various regious to
the effect that the Progressive
Party in the South is trying to be-
come purely d white mans party,
or a lily white party.
This means that the leaders of
the Progressive Party will have to
play double game, posing as
friends of the Negro in the North
and West, where the Negro vote is
impoI tant and as enemies of the
Negro in the South, where the Ne.
gro vote is not always counted.
This is difficult task for any
party TO perform, and we should
like to know definitely where the
Progressive Party stands on this
question. There are about four
hundred thousand Negro voters in
the North and West who would
like to have this question answer

.BLA LACKS AND WHITES

That the South is the best place
for the Negro and that education
ought to prove his salvation were
two of the points made by Robert
r. Motion, commandant of cadets
at Hampton institute, in recent
address.
'Thouehtful Negroes as we'll as
thoughtful white men, he said,
''are agreed that the South offers
the largest opportunity for the
masses of the colored people. 1t
is fair to assume, then,
THAT, for the present at least,
the South cannot depend on for
eign immigrants for its farm oper-
atives, its domestic and personal
service, or its unskilled and semi
skilled labor;
That it must depend on the Ne
gro for the present and also the
very distant future to recruit the
ranks cf this form of labor;
THAT, if the Negro is to con-
stitute the mass of industrial op-
eratives of the South, it is impera-
tive for the common good that
there should be sympathetic co op-
Grafton with the white workers en-
gagged in similar forms of indurtry.
That every effort should be ex-
erted on the part of the South to
make these laborers, black and
white, more reliable, more skiIlful
and more efficient and skillful on

''lt is frequently asserted by
careless and thoughtless speakers
and writer's that all Negroes are
lazy, shiftless and inefficient; but
in practically every district where
Negroes are employed, whether as
farm laborers or as mechanical
laborers, the verdict is that a large
majority of Negro workers are re.
liable. many of them are skillful
and very efficient, and not a few
are almost indispensable. There
are very few places in the South
where the employer would be will
ing TO dispense with the services
of bis Negro employees"
The speaker gave hint of the
mebns which must be employed to
keep these workers faithful and
effi&isnt. "No leader, eltber black
or white" he remarked, "cau give

service when ne is surrounded day

UNITED OR CONCERTED ACTION. OPPOSERS AND PRO-
MOTERS OF PROHIBITION. FORTHCOMING ELECTION

We are confronted with so many
momentous questions of the day
that the time is opportune for the
offering of few suggestions to the
mass of our people who indulge in
proc1 c1astination to such an extent
as not only to contribute to our
being deprived of the few advan.
tages we have but heap huge
bouiders in the path of progress
which become insurmountable
resulting in helpless and worth
less condition.
UNITED OR CONCERTED ACTION.
Take glance into the efforts of
the Corporations and Labor Un
ions of our country and reflect on
their beginnings. See how the
former IN the garb of pioneer and
adventurermakes it possible for
improvement, development and
general progress in which we de-
light, being beneficiaries; view the
latter with its selfish arrogant mo-
tives of dictation and submission,
or the rule or ruin policy in their
demands of those who have spent
sleepless nights to consummate
that which would be of perpetual
benefit to us.
Here are lessons to be learned
which will help MS in our little
sphere TO start now, and as the
tried expression puts it-'take time
by the forelock', for we are per-
fectly in accord with Corporations
Labor Unions, Fraternal Societies,
whose object is in common, cater
ing in general sense to all hu-
manity, not the particular exclus-
i've role that some of these fill,
beneficial to few detrimental to
the many.
We have it on reliable authority
where some of our people have been
admitted into Tramway, Insurance
and other corporations, which is
an indication of what will be
achieved as time rolls on; and in
N
comparing this with the action of
our Labor Unions we can safely
say that the only place we have
ever been entertained is what is
termed the Building Laborers'
Uuion commonly called the Hod-
carriers Union.
Ought not these facts to SO i'm
press us as to give impetus to our
get-together policy and organize
and establish ourselves in the way
and manner that will compel recog-
milton in sane, intelligent and
decent form from those who are
zealously safeguarding the inter-
ests of people and country?
The Colorado statesman., 1914-08-08
OPPOSERS AND PROMOTERS OF
PROHIBITION


Another lesson to be learned
from this topic Prohibition that is
engaging the minds of the deepest
thinkers of America, (the business
men with their sound and practi-
practical knowledge of bow to
treat Intemperance against the
theoretical ideas of men who have
instituted the pruning knife pro-
cess of cutting indiscriminately
whether conditions are favorable
or unfavorable,) shows how the
forces are being lined up on either
side-each putting forth its best
that money and ability can offer
to adjust matters to the advance
ment of the nation by timely legis-
lation, or the thorough eradication
of what is termed a supposed evil.
While we are warned to shun the
appearance of evil, yet we would
not be so unwise and indiscreet to
credit victims of alcohol with a
greater percentage than the respec-
table temperate citizens of our
United States, and therefore sta
tistics must furnish the proof be-
fore we would fall in with the re-
formers.
Our lesson is the spirit with
which each party goes about the
matter-the determination TO win
their cause and the tenacity with
which they seem to pride in. We
can do the same in matters that
seriously affect us in our striving
for higher and better things
things for which all civilized ma
tions of the world clamor-equal-
ity of civil rights, an advantage
which seems to include every privi
lege to be obtained by the citizens
of any country.
FORTHCOMING ELECTION
Last but not least comes this all
desiring element of voting which
is a gift or endowment, and
blessing although improperly
used by some) to us. And this
being the most important feature
by which we are recognized as be-
ing real Americans, let us exercise
it with the greatest care and eau
ton, so that in our subscription
to the cause of others we do not
forget ourselves. Remember self
preservation is natures first and
best law, and he who forgets it
must stand the blunt alone. Get
together and sharpen up for this
coming campaign. Look to the
support of men of power and
stirling worth who live for the
