WHERE HE STANUS
0NNEGR0PR0BLESV1
(Continued From Firm P.tg*.)
I man against tin whit and surely the
time has come when wo Bhould under?
stand the mischief In both courses,
und should abandon both. I believe
that wherever the racial issue is per?
mitted to become dominant In our poll
! tics, It always works harm to both
races, but Immeasurably most harm to
tho weaker race, I believe that In
this movement only .1,image will come
if wo either abandon our ideals on the
one hnnrt, or. on ih* other, fall reso?
lutely to look facts In thi case, how
I ever unpleasant these fuels may be.
"In many of the States of the Union
where there Is a considerable colored
' colored population wo aru able In very
fact and at the present moment to
bring tho best colored men Into tho
movement on tin- same terms as the
white man. In Rhode Island und Mary
' land, In New York and Indiana, in
Ohio and llllnoir, in New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, to speak only of States
of which I have personal knowledge,
this Is now helm; ?'. >ne, and from soino
or all of theBO States colored delegates
I will be sent to the national progrcs
i stve convention i.i Chicago.
"In the Republican national ^.inven?
tions the color?.i members have been
i almost exclusively from tho South, and
the great majority of them have berii
men of such character that their pillt
; leal activities w< re merely i source
i of harm, and of very great harm, to
i their own race. v-'e. on th? contrary.
are hoping to see In tiiC National Pro
? gresslvc Convention colored delegates
i from tho very places where we expect
i to develop our gr-atest str< ncth, and
wo hop? to see these men of such char?
acter that their activities shall be of
' benefit not only to the people at large,
I but especially to their own race.
Result I- Lamentable,
I "For forty-five years the Republican
; party has striven to build up in tho
Southern States In question a party
based on tho theory that tho pyramid
will, unsupported, stand permanently
on ItB apex, Instead of on 'ts base.
For forty-uve years the Republican
party has endeavored In these Stillos
to build up a party in which the negro
should be domlnir.!. a party consisting
almost exclusively of negroes. Thi s-_
v.ho took the leid in this experiment
were actuated by high motives, and no
one should now blame them because
of what, with the knowledge they then
had nnd under the then existing cir?
cumstances, they strove to do. Cut
In actual practice the result has been
lamentable front every standpoint. It
has been productive of evil to the col?
ored men themselves; It has been pro-,
ductlve only of evil to the white men
of the South, and It has worked the
gravest injury to and finally tue dis?
ruption and destruction of the grout
Republican party Itself.
"There has In the past been much
venality In Republican national con-1
ventloris In which there was an active
contest for the nomination for Presi?
dent, for the most part among the
r.egro delegates from theso Southern
States. Finally, In the convention at
Chicago last June, the break-up of the
Republican party was forced by those
rotten-borough delc-gatc-3 from the
South. In the primary Statee of the
North the colored men In most places
voted substantially as their white
neighbors voted. Rut In tho Southern
States, where there was no real Repub?
lican party, and whor? colored tnon, or
whites selected purely by colored men.
were sent to the convention, represent?
ing nothing but their own greed for
money or office, the majority was over
rwhelmlngiy antlprogresslve. Sevcn
clghths Of the colored men from these
rotten-borough districts upheld by
their votes the fraudulent actions of the
men who in that convention defied and
betrayed the Will of the mass of the
plain people <?'. tho party.
Criminal lo Disregard Lesson.
"It would be not merely foolish, but
criminal, to disregard the teachings of
such a lesson. The disruption and de?
struction of the Republican party and
tho fact that It has been rendered ab?
solutely lmpotont as nn instrument for
anything hut mischief in the country
at large has been brought about In
large part by the effort to pretend that
In ihe Southern States a sham Is a fact, j
by tho Insistence upon treating the
ghost parly in tho Southern States as
a real party. i>y refusing to face tho !
truth, which is that under existing
conditions there Is not and cannot be
in the Southern States a party b.,s.. !
primarily upon tho negro vote und
under negro leadership or the leader?
ship of white men who derive their
power solely from negroes.
With these forty-live years of failure,
of this policy in the South before our
eyes, and with catastrophe thereby
caused to a gi eat national party not
yet six Wiek- distant from us. It
would be criminal for tho progressives
to repeat tiie course of action responsi?
ble for such disaster, such failure such
catastrophe.
"It would be much worse than use
lass to try to build up tho progressive
party in these .Southern States whero
the,ro Is no real Republican party, by
appealing to tho negreies or to tho men
who in tho past havo derived their
solo standing from leading and manip?
ulating tho nogroes.
"I earnestly bultevo that by appenl
Iiik to tho best whlto men In tho South,
tho men of Justlco and of Vision as well
us Of strength und leadership, and by
frankly putting tho movement In tholr
hands from tho outset wo shall create
a situation by which tho colored men
of the South will ultimately Ret Jus?
tice ns It is not po.islblo for them to |
get jimtlco if wo uro to continue and
perpetuate the present conditions. The
men to whom wn appeal uro tho men
Who have stood for securing tho color?
ed man In his rights ba?oro the law,
and they can do for liltn that neither
? the Northern whlto man nor tho color?
ed men themselves can do. Our only
wise course from tho standpoint of
the colored man himself Is to follow
tho course that wo arn following to?
ward b!m In tho North and to follow
tho courso wo are following toward
Slim tho South."

ELSON'S HISTORY
AGAIN ASSAILED
Lee Camp Wants to Know If It
Is Being Used in Any
Southern School.
Rcnowcd condemnation of Elson's
History of tho Un.tod States, which
provided natlon-wldo comment during
tho past year when It was loarned that
It was being used as a textbook at
ilonnoko College, was tho feature of
the meeting of the K. 12. I .en Camp of
Confederate Veterans last night. Tho
Bpark of Indignation was again kindled,
by tho reading of a communication
from tho headquarters of tho Unltod
Confederate Veterans, at Now Orleans,
In which attention was culled to a res?
olution recently adopted by tho United,
Confederate Veterans at .Macon, Ga.,
unft an investigation and report re?
quested.
The Macon resolution was as follows:
"This convention of tho United Con
fedcrate Veterans deslros to plaoo
upon record Its condemnation of Elson's
History of tho Knited Statoa. Tims'
such a textbook should have been used
In any of the schools of tho South Is an |
lnsi.lt to tho men and women of tho
Southland. Wo believe that It shouli
bo repudiated by every decent repre?
sentative of the traditions and history
of tho South, and wo regret that In
; great State of Virginia defenders
should bo found who condone it. W?
urge upon all members of tho United.
I Confederate Veterans to Investigate and
I learn If this volume Is still used la.
I any of tho sehols nnd localities In which,
they rrsldo and to take tho stops nec
, easary t?i eliminate this disgraceful
volume from tho uso of tho children
of the South.'"
Anxious to C.rt Facts.
Attorney-Gonoral Samuel \V. WUlinma
was on his feet Immediately. Ho said
I that the mere spreading of tho lotter,
; upon the books of the camp wan not
I sufficient compliance with the spirit of.
I the letter, and that means should be.
I taken to ascertain that tho book had'
been OVorywhc re repudiated. .ludgo
! Williams, Judge George Ij. Christian
I and Colonel W. B. Freeman wore elect- ?
,<l id prepare a report to bo presented
[ to the next convention of tho United
: Confederate Veterans, at Pulaskl, Vs. .
I Tho convention Will bo hoid In Septem?
ber or October.
Judge Williams said that tho most'
Important duty now before the Con?
federate Veterans Is to s?o that noble,
and truthful memories of tho War Be?
tween the States aro preserved to pos?
terity. He said that tho first Impres?
sions received by a child from his
textbooks were lasting and that It Is
necessary to see that they aro derived
from a trustworthy source.
As a result of tho agitation due to
tho uso of Elson's History at Rnanoku
Collego, It was abandoned as it textbook
al :!>U Institution, and It Is believed
that It Is not now in uso In any school
In the State.
