BETTING on Hughes and Wilson is

people; no studied restriction of their
liberties; no Vardaman, no Tillman,
no Thomas Dixon ct al, whose great
aim in life is to prevent the enjoyment
of their equal rights under the laws
of this land. No attempt to alter the
natural order of things with which
they are concerned. No attempt to
interfere with the privileges of their
natural course. No attempt to restrict
their right of passage or to change
their channel for selfish purposes.
But whatever may be in store for
this nation in the future; whether
prosperity or adversely; whether there
be foes within or foes without,
whether there shall be peace or war,
the Negro always will be loyal and
faithful American citizen, and we sin
cerely hope the day will soon come
when he will be treated as such.

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

(From The Outlook.)
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 do
no lynching. Of the sixteen men who
were arrested for rioting in Atlanta,
for example, not one had his name
on the county taxbooks.
The race problem is to be solved,
not by having 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.

DRY of Or. Washington.
The Battle Hymn Of the Negro"

Washington and is dedicated to the
memory of the late DR.. Booker T.
Washington. Mr.. Davis is the official
stenographer for the National Negro
Business league. In which position he

The Battle Hymn Of the Negro" is
to be sung to the tune Of Julia Ward
Howe's Battle Hymn Of the Repub-

He has fought swordless battle for the
cause Of right and won.
He has made his race respected. though
his life on earth is done
His truth Is marching on!

February 18th.
THE FREEMAN CASE.

There has been much activity on
the part of the Women's Federated
Clubs in the jamie Freeman case.
They acted hastily and made no in
vestigation. 1t now appears that they
were mistaken in many ways. Let
them hereafter take the proper pro-
cedure and follow the advice of
"those who know" There was much
rivalry over securing pardon for the
girl and some abuse of the people who
employed her. This is dangerous.
Don't talk, unless you have the evil
dence! Don't be overzealous in these
matters! Don't have those race-pride
brainstorms, of which we wrote at
the beginning of this agitation. The
ladies of the Federation will have
their petty jealousies, especially in the
present condition of the Federation,
but it is worth nothing to gossip over
moneys collected,or power, prestige or
privilege. Remember that high Of
flee in the Federation is no badge of
. authority to annoy state officials or
to dictate to them. The Star said "the
girl will not be pardoned" and should
not be at this time. Atty's Smith,
Hilyer and Morris were asked to as
sist in securing her release. They
,,,ara sincere hut cannot overcome the
facts about the girls record. The
Federated Clubs have employed Atty.
Francis, and he cannot change the
record. She has not been prosecuted,
but is thief, pure and simple, and is
subject to arrest if released. Don't
worry about the funds. Mrs. Ophelia
Rice has turned the Minneapolis
money over to St. Peters Church,
where it rightly belongs. Other ladies
will account for what they have col
lected. The Star has not opposed a
pardon but does not approve of Glenn
ency in her case, and hopes that when
the Federated Club Ladies of St. Paul
take up another serious matter they
will have worthy subject after a
proper investigation, and not confuse
J matters, which are in the hands Of
responsible people of our city. Re-
member: Everybody's business is no.

Some Negroes are foolish enough to
write open letters to "Pres. Wilson
and his Democratic Party" He is
our President because we are of these

him. If these disappointed Negro
politicians want to lick the hand that

follow their forlorn hope and keep
silent. What is the use of annoying

murdered them, and now we are going
to disfranckise them. And through
the passage, by the various southern
states, of the laws known as the
Educational Test with the "Under.
standing" clause, and the "Grand-
father" clause, the Negroes of the
South have been disfranchised for the
past 10 to 20 years But, thank God,

United States Supreme Court these
laws have been declared unconstitu.

CHATTER ABOUT
STATE ECONOMY
IS RIDICULOUS
Wilson's Responsibility Greater
Than That of Governor,
Says Mengert.

Writing to the chairman Of the
Republican state committee, w. l..
Mengert, the able and brilliant edi-
tor Of the Parkersburg State Journal
one OF the best and most influential
newspapers published in the state
and which is now doing valiant ser
vice for the Republican ticket and
Judge Robinson especially. although
it did not support him for the nomi-
nation, says:
~ believe the past experience Of
this state with the Democracy, par
ticularly in the hands 1t Is in. has
been such as to obscure whatever
danger there may be In Republican
factionalism. In the light or the
situation in the nation the chatter
about economy in the state Is ridicu.
lous. and cannot be accepted in good
faith.
Mr.. Wilson's responsibility Tor
the plunderbund at Washington is
greater than the responsibility Of
governor, for he appoints his depart
ment heads. and by she very nature
Of things, his control OF Congress is
much more secure and stable than
is the control OF the governor ovor
a legislature. Mr.. Cornwell finds 1t
possible, however, to produce COM
plete alibl for Mr.. Wilson. while he
condemns the Republican state ad-
ministration, and wonder how
many people he will deceive by so
palpable ruse.
Aside from this the vagaries that
they will propose to substitute for
what has actually been done in the
way of economic and Industrial leg
islation in this state. hardly consti-
tute an issue that will appeal to the
people"
