What Shall We Do With the Negro?
By CHARLES STELZLE
BOOKMB T. WASHINGTON once snld, "The only way (lint you can keep
the negro in the putter is to stay there with him." No doubt Wash
ington Is right. But here he Is ten millions strong. What shall we !
with him? The negro will not return to Africa to establish a Liberia n repub
lic, as some people have fondly wished. He came to the United States against
his will, ami lie's going to stny here.
It's simply n question as to whether he Is to lie a "good" negro or a "bnd"
negro, and the answer to this question depends as much upon the whites as
it does upon the blacka
The fact that the negro Is dying In such large numbers of tuberculosis and
other still more frightful diseases is. of course, due to his ignorance and to

other reasons for which be Is largely responsible, but we cannot forget that
It Is also to lie charged to the fact that be Is compelled to live In the worst
sections of our towns and cities, often without drainage or sewerage or gar
bage service, without water within a reasonable distance and scarcely any or
the sanitary conditions In house or yard or street which white consider an
absolute necessity. We drive the worst forms ftf Immorality into the negro
quarters and then curse the negro bc-iiuse of his moral weakness. We subject
him to the severest test of our city .He physical, moral and political and then
cynically declare that the "nigger" is no good auyway. Considering the short
time that the uegro baa bad any sort of chance for preparing himself for
citizenship m a democracy he has done marvelously well. Let's give him a
square deal a man's chance. Neither race hatred nor mawkish sentimentality
will aettle this very delicate question. The south cannot settle it alone, and
the north cannot do the work for the south. The north and the south, the city
and the country, must tackle the thing together, for tbla is a national problem.

DEMOCRACY MUST BE
A WORTHY INSTRUMENT
People Trust It, Sayt Woodrow
Wilton, and It Must
Make Good.
Sea. Olrt. N. J. Woodrow Wilson at
the "Little White Houae" at Sea Olrt
Is dally called upon to demonstrate bia
ability as a ready speaker.
There Is not a day passes but what
he meets various delegations who call
to assure him of their support.
In speaking of political machines to
the Brooklyn Democratic club Gover
nor Wilson Bald: "Machines are bad.
but an organization may be very es
sential. For Instance. I have been
surrounded by an organization here In
New Jersey while doing my best work.
A machine uses its political opportu
nities for the selfish ends of its mem
bers. No members of our organization
would ever think of doing that. Pub
lic opinion In New Jersey has drawn
the distinction. It has killed the ma
chines, and It Is going to keep the or
ganization going.
"It seems to me that we are stand
ing In the presence of something higher-
than allegiance to the Democratic
party. The country has been disap
pointed In the Republican party, and It
la turning to the Democratic party.
That party la willing to show the way
toward those things which must be
realized.
"Some gentlemen aeem to find It
easy to make personalities out of poli
tics, but It seems to me that whenever
that Is done politics Is debased.
"Men who are In search of reform
are now resorting to the Democratic
party, because, for my own part, I do
not know where else they will turn to
expect the results. There Is no dls
counting the strength and servlceabil
tlty of a united party, and the splendid
part Is that the Democratic party is
united.
"Speaking seriously, nothing affords
me more genuine pleasure than to re
celve such greetings from men In Jer
sey who have at least tested my quail
ties. Because you have known me
at close range and if you will be kind
enough to vouch for me perhaps the
rest of the country will be credulous
of your report.
"I have spent a great deal of time
since I became governor of New Jer
aey defending your character. It wai
supposed in the old days, when th
board of guardians was in charge ol
the state, that you were all of yov
disposed to give the most monopolis
tic trusts tn the country a great ring
ing welcome in New Jersey.
"New Jersey waa known aa th
mother of trusts a very troublesom
and questionable family and I bad t.e
spend my time outside New Jersey as
surlng the people of the Cnlon that 11
had not been the fault or the dlsposl
tion of the people of New Jersey thai
there were certain gentlemen who had
undertaken to carry the Republican
party In their pockets and to adminis
ter independently of the rank and Ah
of Republicans In the state.
"Nw Jersey is progressive, out ta
United States Is progressive, and w
have here merely a delightful sampl
of the people of the United States.
"Now, these people are not bent or
destroying anything, but they are benl
on setting everything In order; the)
are bent upon Justice; they are bnt
upon seeing to it that the people In
general are partners of the govern
ment, aa I was trying to show th
other day. And the Democratic part)
la now placed under a peculiar respon
nihility It has to prove that it It
the worthy Instrument of that zeal or,
the part of the people of the United
States. If It doea not prove it now It
will never be given another chance to
prove It. No party that proves un
faithful to that Ideal will ever again
be trusted by the people of America
And therefore we are standing at a
turning point In our politics. We must
make good or go out of business. In
the vernacular. It Is a case of 'put up
or shut up,' because words are going
to be discounted. Nothing will be hon-1
ored except the actual carrying out ol
such programs as sensible men may
unite In for the common benefit."

THE GREAT DUTY OF AD
JUSTMENT.
We are servants of the peo

Interest has clashed with Inter

principles of right and of fair
dealing which might and should
have bound them all together
not as rivals, but as partners.
Aa the servants of all we are
bound to undertake the great
