The Negro and His Vote

The Negroes aim should be to be a par 1 of everything that tends to the elevation and progress of this nation. His thoughts and acticn must accord with and be found in such channels. There is no denying th e fact, that the race is making rapid progress in all lines, save one that concerns his en irnchistnunt. With 85 percent of the lace living in the South and denied thei r right of suffrage it is evident that something is wrong somewhere. The constitution of the United States says that the Negro shall vote, but the south sees to it that he don’ vote, and there’s the rub! The South is stronger than the Nation on Negro suffrage so after all the question resolves itself into one of policy rather than law. And the Negro must give serious • thought to the question, if he would improve present tendencies and conditions. The Negro must vote as any other intelligent citizens would and does exercise his franchise. The white republican will not vote for a •‘yellow dog” on the republican ticket, but the Negro will; and there is where he errs. The white republican will not vote for an unfit republican candidate, but the Negro will and is accordingly censured by all good citizens. The ballott is the strongest assett in the hands of any ^American citizen, and when that is destroyed that is little wonder that every other right and privilege is so ruthlessly attacked. The Negro must so ingratiate himself into every fibre of AmerL can progress that no enemy can strike him without jarring the best influences of that community, and then he will have solved the Race problem. Politically, the Negro must change frontsHe coirld well afford to be a cart of all par ties, for why should nothis beliefs and ideals run [from Republicanism to. Socialism the same as other citizens. But the one thing essential is that the Negro give due con' sideration to the issues and not vote blindly President-elect Taft in his opening speech of the recent campaign made at Lexington* Ky., discussed the Negroes franchise. After mentioning the various means o f disfranchising votes, decaring that such laws were proper if applied with equal fair ne s to both white and black he expressed the hope that as the colored citizens unde r *he leadership of such men as Booker T. Washington, would “become respected business members of the communities in which they live, and when they exercise indepen* dence of judgment in respect to political is sues, we may be sure that gradually the right to vote will be accorded them and they will exercise a far more useful influence as intelligent and solid members of the community for the benefit of their race than the ignorant members of their race would have exercised had they been allowed to vote. In this way, through deviou 5 ways which can not justified or approved’ we may still reach a result that will square with the requirements of the Federal con*tituion and will give to the Negro every political and economic right and will confer great benefit upon the colored race.”

MOUND BUILDERS FANS.

Chicago Professor Says Their Inclosures Were Baseball Fields. “Baseball Is not a modern game, and all credit for the invention of it should go to the mound builders,” said Professor Frederick Starr of the University of Chicago In a recent lecture on prehistoric archaeology. Professor Starr declares that through the southern part of Ohio and Indiana he has found geometrically perfect mounds or inclosures closely resembling the modern baseball diamond. These are generally believed to have been built for purposes of protection. Professor Starr, however, says: “They are nothing more or less than old baseball fields of the mound builders. The game ns played by these old people resembled our modern game closely. The most essential difference Is that our game calls for only nine players, while in prehistoric times as many as a hundred men were necessary.” Cure For Lovesickness. In a lecture before the Chicago College of Medicine Dr. A. R. Hagle explained a cure for lovesickness. He said: “A doctor can prepare himself to treat lovesickness through mental Influence just as more serious ills are treated by it. One suggestion is to find a new love. This occasionally cures an old love complaint.” He commended the theory of Bishop Fallows of mind and medicine working In harmony.

Another new enterprise has been launch ed by Negroes in the business of manufacturing Negro dolls, tnat is not only unique . n the business sagacity shown but commendable from the view point of instilling racial pride in the present and future generations, It is no wonder that the colored people think the white man face the zenith of human possibilites, for the first thing to be thrust into the little hands of the Negro baby is the white doll baby, and the image is thereby indelibly ^stamped for life. God never designed that the white race should be the exemplar of beauty, and man can make no more prettier dolls, we Ire sure. Aside from the commercial value of the project, the chance to develope race pride - something that we are woefully lacking in - is worthy the venture. The Recorder will shortly have on exhibition a display of these Negro dolls.

His breath comes short And quick, and there is a sort Of feeling that the world Is slipping away. He starts to say The words he had learned With toll and pain.

DO YOU KNOW—

That it takes only one to make a quarrel when that one Is what is known as a third person? That success is sweet, but sometimes the sweetening quality Is about the consistency and flavor of black strap? That persistency Is a horrid quality when it is found In a person you don’t like bent on interfering with your affairs? That where ignorance Is peace it is quite often profitable to get wise? That a rolling stone is a smooth one and a mossback a back number? That the early bird takes bis chances with the tomcat and the barn owl? That while the worm may turn it probably will be only to get it on the other side of his head? That you never miss the water till the well runs dry, and not then if you chance to live in moonshine territory. That there Is no place like home, for which some exiles thereof are most devoutly thankful?

That, while It takes money to make Jthe mare go, most any old thing will !h$ve that effect on money.
