In gauging the attitude Of Presidents

White House of the Nation, it would he
we'll to take note Of the fact that tho
headquarters Of the Anti-Ncgro organi.
zatiOn is at Washington and that tho
War Department is the hot -bed of this
kind Of Ncgrophobia. Prior to thcil'
election, practically every Prcsidcrt
of the United States, Democrat rs we'll

the Negroes Of the country and have
promised TO sec that he is secured in
his civil and political rights. This in.
cludcd the recognition Of the citizens
Of color in the matter Of political

After these statesmen had become
installed in Office, their attempts to car,
~ out their prediction pledges have
been met with bitter opposition. Prcsi
dent Grover Cleveland was the NEST
obdurate in dealing with this class o!
people. They found out that lie said
what he meant, and that he meant
what he said. Then came the brilliant
and dearly beloved Theodore Roosevelt
He was importuned to rebuff the Negr1
es and he gave that famous, ringing
reply, "All men up, rather than some
men down.. But he qualified his equal
rights declaration by pointing to the
fact that in the sum total he had ap-
pointed fewer colored men to office
than any Of his Republican predeces
sors.
President Woodrow Wilson had the
time Of his life in dealing with this
embarrassing question. He had made
promises to the ear, to be broken u
the hope". lie could not rise above his
surroundings and Bishop Alexander
Walters. who followed him into tho
Democratic Party and waged most
relentless campaign in behalf of his
candidacy may be said to have died,

son was all right, but he was forced to
subject his personal desires to the de-
mands of party cxpedency. His pro.
election promises went down to rise
no more. All over the country, his
black followers. are virtually wander
ing about in a wilderness.
Then came the popular idol from
Ohio. the reputed bosom friend Of Sen.
ator j. B. Foraker His addresses were
outspoken and they breathed the es
sence Of true greatness and transcen.
dent craftsmanship. Colored people
were assured that they would be recog.

Republic. Millions believed in him and
his triumphal entrance into the White
House signified that the wish of the
Nation regardless Of race, color or
previous conditions had been gratif:ed

Fourteen shots entered the left side
