Senator Frazier Discusses
the Race Question.

ment ef Oisch^rgsd Members of the
Twenty-fifth Regiment Declares
That :\ever Again Will the Colored
People E?c Ailowed to Politically
Dominate a Sovereign State.
Washington, Jan. 21.—Senator Fra
iler of Tennessee spoke on the
Brownsville affair and opposed the
passage of any one of the pending
bills for the re-enlistment of tho negro
Holdiers of the Twenty-fifth regiment
who were discharged without honor
by the president. Senator Frazier's
remarks were of especial interest, as
he was a member of the committee
on military affairs which investigated
the Iirownsville incident, his views
being those of a Southerner who had

an intimate knowledge of the negro
race. Speaking of the treatment of
the negro by the people of the South
Mr. Frazier said:
"1 would not be entirely frank If I
did not say that upon certain phases
of the race question I, in comnini
with the rest of the South, have stood,
and I believe will ever stand, firin
and unalterable. First, never again
will the negro race be allowed to po
litically dominate and control a sov
ereign state of this Union. To do so
would be to enthrone ignorance and
give it dominion over intelligence
and to bring back the rapine and
utter reckless debauchery of the re
construction era. Second, the social
barrier which separates the races will
never be allowed to be lowered. To
do so would destroy the purity and
integrity of the white race and shock
the sensibilities and outrage the
moral sense of the Caucasian race
the world over.
Difficult Problem to Solve.
"For forty years, in patience and
kindness, the people of the South
have wrejted with this problem. It Is
still unsolved. What the end will be
only God, in His infinite wisdom, can
see. Shall it be that the black race
will be deported? If feasible it would
remove the last remaining barrier to
complete the unity of the American
people. Shall it be a race war, bloody,
ierce, exterminating—a war for the
survival of the fittest?—God forbid.
Shall it be amalgamation and the un
peukable honor of a corrupted and
infi nor race? To allow it would be
to destroy that civilization which is

MEANS NEGRO DOMINATION
Tillman Opposes Republican Plan of
Uplifting Colored Man.
Washington, Jan. 21.--Senator Till
man denied that he was opposed to
the education of negroes, as Presi
dent-Elect Taft is reported to have
said at Augusta, Ga., was the case.
He said, however, that he was an
tagonistic to the Republican plan of
uplifting the negroes, which means
domination by them in the South.
Mr. Tillman added that if the Re.
publicans would abandon this plan by
repealing the fifteenth amendment the
result would be to give the states con
trol of their own affairs and thus giva
them an opportunity to assist the ne
groes in a legitimate way.
He declared, however, that the
South would never consent to the ele
vation of the negroes in any way that
would enable them to put their heels
on the necks of 11,• white people.
LILLEY'S NAME IS
STRICKEN FROM ROLL
Governor of Connecticut Not a
Member of House.
Washington, Jan. ft.—That th«
•ervlce of George L. Lilley as a mem
ber of the house of representatives
ceased on Jan. 6, the day following
that on which he was inaugurated
governor of Connecticut, was the opin
ion expressed by the house judiciary
committee in a resolution which was
adopted without division or debate by
the house. Governor Lilley had not
tendered his resignation to the house.
The committee's report was on a
resolution striking Mr. Lilley's name
from the roll of the house and declar
ing his seat vacant.
It means that Calumet has set a new Standard in
Baking Powder—-the standard of the World.
Because this award was given to Calumet after
thorough tests and experiments, over all other baking
powders.
The committee claims in Its report
that the resignation tendered by Mr.
Lilley to Governor Woodruff was suf
ficient, although not accepted by the
governor, to terminate his member
