STANDS UP FOR FIFTEENTH
AMENDMENT.

One, at last, of the avowed candi-
dates for the Republican nomination
for the Presidency is squarely on
record favoring the right of the Ne
gro to the ballot vouch-safed him by
the Fifteenth Amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution. On April 18, 1908,
Hon. Henry D. Estabrook, of New
York, who is favorably mentioned for
the nomination, addressed a letter to
the editor of the New York Sun
which was published on the editorial
page of the Sun in it's issue of April
Goth, 1908, discussing the Fifteenth
Amendment and the Negroes right to
the franchise. In this letter Mr..
Estbrook said in part:
"The problem as put by certain
element of theSouth is: How to eli
inmate the Negro vote? Thus stated
it enlists neither my sympathy nor
tolerance. To the Negro, as such,
ought not to be, denied voice in a
government, of which, by virtue of
numbers and usefulness, he is so con-
spicuous a part. The Fifteenth
Amendment was not mistake am
Christian enough to believe that it
was divinely ordained. Repeal that
Amendment and you block from our
flag a star of hope, and leave millions
of people orphaned of country and
worse than slaves, for they would
have neither the ballot for defense nor
the protection of an owners self-in-
terest in his property. In country
like ours, dedicated to personal liber-
ty and self-government the denial of
political rights must be based on just
and fundamental distinctions. So long
as certain elements of the South cling
to the hallucination that the worst of
white men are better than the best of
black men, so long will the South
suffer, and deserve to suffer; for it is
false conceit, a wicked .conceit, an
obsolete conceit, and freedom in its
march will not turn backward"

THINKING WHITE" DOWN
SOUTH.
(From The Outlook

(FrOm The OutlOOk.)
What do the best white people of
the South today think of the Negro7
What is their attitude toward Negro
education? What is the real temper
of the leaders in the New South?
What do they think about Booker T.
Washington's work for Tuskegee and
the advancement of over ten million
Negroes? The Rev. DR.. John E.
White, of Atlanta, Georgia, fearless
exponent of thinking white in the
South" recently stated and frankly
answered the incisive questions be-
fore several thousand Northern and
Southern Negroes who had assembled
in the Boston Symphony Hall, prim-
arily to hear DR.. Washington deliver
his presidential address to the six
teenth convention of the National Ne
gro Business League. DR.. White
said:
The relation in the South between
the races has never been so happy as
it is now. Never has the outlook
been so prosperous. The people Of
the South are thinking white;" that
is, the leaders are giving expression
to the best sentiments. The South is
now looking upon its millions of Ne
groes, not as liability but as an
asset The South is training the Ne
gro for success, for efficiency. The
South sees that it is common sense
to help the Negro. When the Negro
owes something, then he is respected
White people down South think
that the Negro is man. They are
saying this out loud. They are pray
ing God to help them deal with the
Negro on the basis of humanity
They think that the Negro is dis.
tinct1y a Southern man. / predict
that the time will never come wher
three-fourths of the Negroes of this
country will not be found in the
South. The civilization of the South
everything that makes it peculiar ant
characteristic, centers around the Ne
gro. Indeed, the Negro has sweet
ened Southern life. Whole com
munities are shaped by the Negro.
Property-owning Southern men d.
no lynching. Of the sixteen men WHIT
were arrested for rioting in Atlanta
for example, not one had his nam'
on the county taxbooks.
The race problem is to be solved
not by having few Negroes witt
education and culture reach the top
but by having the well-trained Ne
groes reach down and help up th'
ladder the black men and women VIII,
are below struggling.

1.-THE Birth of the Nation" is fin
ishing long and unpopular run in
this city. 1t is a financial failure.
The press agents and newspapers
have kept it before the public, and
during the last two weeks. Special
inducements have been given to
school children, Veterans of the G. A..
R. and their wives and even the Min
neapolis Journal, presented the men,
bers of the Editorial Assn. with free
tickets, which did not seem to be
much in demand. There has been a
suit entered by Smith B. Hall an
ardent advocate of the Infamous film.
He claims to have artaiGred with
Mayor Nye and Sen. Westlake (good
friends of the Negroes, who owe their
election to Negro voters) and some
leading citizens to show the Birth
of a Nation" and that Mgr. Balm
bridge failed to pay him the agreed
price $1,000. There were others
among the Journal gang who hustled
for "Buzz" cambridge, who is one
of the genuine good fellows, and a
theatrical manager of much exper-
fence. We do not think the case will
90 to trial, because Smith B. Hall
will show up the lobby. The Star ad,
vocated q peaceful protest against
this play, but was forced to go al
most single handed into fight to de-
fend the race, without even the sup
port of those loyal hearted Negro
rights agitators (?) The fight wa:
made and the play went on, and thu
real attitude of our honorable Mayor
on the Negro question, was giver
publicity and much comment. How
ever, there has been no serious dam
age done or any sentiment raised
against the Negro here. The Vet
Grams do not approve the play as ;
true representation of the militar!
conditions at that time, and we be
lieve that Mr.. cambridge, who claimed
! to be "the goat" in the legal proceed
ings against the play, is wiser man
ager, also that the birth of Ma
ton" will go on record with the man!
immoral plays, whose managers hal
not figured their costs.
