upon the legal-light-to-bo slapped

REPUBLICANS AND THE NEGRO
VOTE
W. Calvin Chase, editor of a negro
newspaper in Washington, is organ
izing a negro movement against
Roosevelt and Taft. He says that the
time has come for the negro to as
sert his power in politics and to that
end organized endeavor has begun
"such as never has been undertaken
before." He regards President
Roosevelt and Secretary Taft as ene
mies of the negro race, while Sen
ator Foraker is esteemed as their
friend. He says the negroes owe it
to themselves to aid Foraker, and to
"help in every way to rebuke Roose
velt and Taft." "I have no hesitancy
in saying," l he concludes, "that if
the convention does not hearken to
us I will place the picture of the
democratic candidate for president on
the first page of the Bee, and the or
ganized negro vote will be thrown to
him. It is no party fight that we are
making."
This may be all bluster, but it
can not be denied that the negro
voters hold a strong position in sev
eral of the northern and- western
states, to-wit: In Illinois, Indiana,
Kansas, Missouri, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. In
1900 the vote between Bryan and
McKinley in these states was as follows:
Bryan. McKinley.
597,985
336,063
185,955
314,092
221,707

Missouri 351,922
New Jersey -. .164:808
New York".'.. 678,380"
Ohio 474,882
Pennsylvania .....424.232
In that year the negro voting pop
ulation was as follows:
Illinois .29,762
Indiana ... 18,186
Kansas ....;....:. .14,695
Missouri . . . . .. . . .-.:. . 46,418
New Jersey ......;....... .21474
New York . . 31425
Ohio 31,235
Pennsylvania . 51,668
In 1900 the netrro voto in thna
states was cast for McKinley. If it
had been cast for Bryan, the republi
can pluralities would have been cut
down materially, and in the case of
Indiana and Kansas .the plurality
Erld--?V0 been for Bryan instead
of McKinley.
It is said that the republican lead
ers are alarmed at the negro move
ment against Roosevelt and Taft, and
nlfth5 may be, for the negro vote
in all the states above named has in
creased since 1900 in greater pro
portion than the white vote. Rich
mond (Va.) Times-Dispatch.
FORGOT THE TARIFF
In stating the antithesis between
righteousness and business energeti
cally as he does, the president be
trays again his fondness for general
moral terms. He will do anything
to help business, or to aid labor,
except what is wrong." But he
leaves, and will leave, this "wronc"
wholly undefined. In the end it
comes down with him to a personal
conviction, in each individual case.
Righteousness" la the particular
course he elects to fpllow. It is
righteous to prosecute the Standard
Oil for rebating; it was also right
eous to extol Paul Morton for rebat
ing. To Mr. Roosevelt, there is not
the slightest inconsistency in this
His desires and decisions become at
once to him the embodiment of the
moral law great principles to be
fought for to the death. So much
the keener is our regret that he did
not happen to identify tariff refnr n
with "righteousness," so that ta mS
behalf, he might have despised the
servile argument that to do justi
would hurt business! New Ym
