ENGLISH WOMEN
NOW HAVE CHANCE
Should Lay Aside Their Mask
of Haughtiness For Graci-
Gus Kindliness
BY Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

AN SNibOi VI cal sui hdSdLluS
writes from London as follows:
In these days of national upheaval
1T seems to me imperative that some
lead should be given to the women of
England, so that out of the chaos they
may be helped to form saner ideals,
nobler principles, and larger concep-
tion of the place which awaits them
when peace is once more established.
Il feel confident that women every
where are waiting for this message.

China bids fair to be a political won
der. Her troubles in the last 100 years
have been enough to destroy the in
tegrity Of any nation lacking solid
foundations. The TAPPING rebellion,
which was raging about the time Of
the civil war In this country, ravaged
the whole length and breadth of the
land, destroying lives, wealth and in
situations of civilization. Since then
there has been the war with England,
war with Japan, the war against OPT
um and against the Boxer rebels. To
crown all the corrupt dynasty Of the
Manchus was overthrown by ire
mendous political upheaval. The won.
der Is that there remain sufficient viril-
ity Of conscience and patriotism to do
the work of reconstructing an ancient
civilization on modern lines. Whether
the government shall be republican. or
monarchical Is Of small interest to the
outside world so long as 1t Is a govern
ment Of progress.

THINKING WHITE" DOWN
80. SOUTH. -szs
(From The Outlook.)

(From The Outlook.) 81
What do the best white people of
the South today think of the Negro?
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 a 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 a. 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
tinctly Southern man. I predict
that the time will never come when
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 and
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 dc
no lynching. Of the sixteen men who
were arrested for rioting in Atlanta
for example, not one had his name
on the county textbooks.
The race problem Is to be solved
not by having a few Negroes with
education and culture reach the top
but by having the well-trained Ne
groes reach down and help up the
ladder the black men and women who
are below struggling.

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 Is, 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 its issue of April
10th, 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.a 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 II
was divinely ordained. Repeal that
Amendment and you block from our
flag 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 fiber
ty and self-government the denial OF
political rights must be based on just
and fundamental distinctions. So long
40 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 viii the South
suffer, and deserve to suffer; for 1t is
false conceit, a wicked conceit, an
obsolete conceit, and freedom In Its
march WIN not turn backward"

In "Pasquale,' a Forthcoming Mo-

greatest vehicle ever presented eth

has to do with the lives of a hard
working and kind Italian grocer and
a wealthy banker, both Of whom are
called to the other side to defend
their colors. The many dramatic
qualities Of the plot are offset by VAR
