Cummings. who plays opposite Miss
Hazel Dawn in The Saleslady." which
is being shown there. Mr.. Cummings
was coming through Washington en-
route to Atlanta, where he is going
to play one of those desperate noun
tsineer feud parts, and consented to
give the Columbia's audiences a
glimpse of himself and an opportunity
to hear a few words about the picture
play industry. THE Saleslady" was
interrupted almost in the midst of the
love scene between Miss Dawn and
Mr.. Cummings for his appearance.
Seven years ago. when I began to
act for the screen, there were not the
realistic settings and naturalness
which now go to make up the life-like
phases of them" said Mr.. Cummings.
For instance. this picture you have
just seen was made partly in New
York and partly in Baltimore. The
latter city was chosen for the love-
making in the park between Miss
Dawn and your humble servant. which
you have just seen. Then we went
back to New York to hold the mar
riage ceremony. just shown.

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: -g-
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 a Southern man. 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 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 Me-
gro to the ballot vouch-safed him by
the Fifteenth Amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution. On April IL, 1908,
Hon. Henry D. Estabrook, of New
York, who is favorably mentioned for
the nomination, addressed 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 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. I am
Christian enough to believe that it
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 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, wicked conceit, an
obsolete conceit, and freedom in its
march will not turn backward"
