Shep! n Raleigh, N. C. Post.) There are a great many people w ho believe that the cisfranchise- ment and lynchings are largely con fined to the South, the negro should go elsewhere I have never tho ght so. The sentiment of lynching seems to be getting all over the countrv. The Southerner and the negro understand each other better than any other sec- tion of people, and there is at the bottom of the heart of the Southerner a.ove for the negro that is genuine. That they have drifted apart to some extent I admit- : All the negro is asking is a sympa thetic hand to point out the way and he will follow. T do not know one respectable negro in the South who desires social equality. All he is asking is.his rights before the law, his right to earn an honest dollar. and to since be treated as a man and he will make his way.

The question that is now agitating the public mind is the condition of the colored people in this country. Just what courseto pursue is a question that the best minds in the country cannot solve.

Former Democrats to Replace Themg Evidence of the Pian Found in Several Actual aad Prospective Appointmets to Federal Offices—Old Time Repubtic Leaders toa Have Smaller Plums by W. of Consola, tion—Geld Democrats and Capable Negroes to be Favored From the Cleveland Plain Dealer, October 7,—Acts of President Roesevelt and the Republican national committee clearly establish that a well defined policy hasb een forraulated for building np a new Republican party in the south. The program con- templates selecting party leaders from among the new element of the party in the south—men who have only re- cently deserted the Democratic ranks. the old-time leaders are to be disre- garded. lt is argued that men who have been lifelong Demacrats will not ac- cept as leaders those of the Republi- can ranks against whom they have been arrayed for somany years and with whom they have engaged in bitter parusan struggles, but that they will forsake their party for the Republican camp if the standard is brone by those with whom they were formerly afilated Evidence ot this plan is found in the appointment by Chairman Hanna and the national committee of John G. Capers, District Judge of South Caro- lina as a member of the national com< mittee of that state, and in the se- jection by President Roosevelt of Loomis Blalock ascolector of internal revenue for South Carolina. Capers only became a Republican convert in 1896, when he supported McKinley as against Bryan, and succeeds the late kk, A. Webster, a Republican leader in Soutn Carolina for many years. Blalock is arecent accession to the Republican ranks. Neither represent any of the views ofthe old line Re- publicans of the south but do represent the new e'ement of Republicanism. Old-time Republican bosses of the south sought these places and cofid— dently expected to secure them, but they were giyen a setback. ‘lhey are to be whipped into line line and will receive a share of the plums by the way of consolation. rresident Koosevelt has already enunciated a policy as regards the >outh that has for its purpose the ap= pointment of Gold Democrats and capable negroes to federal positions in the south, where they are shown to be betrer qualified than men who have no further recommendation than the fact that they have worked for the party. M:. Roosevelt is receiving applause from the south for this. Even today be said to Representative Shompson of Alabama; “If I cannot find Repub- licnns I will appoint Democrats. I will appoint men to positions in the south that will cause southerners to respect Republican party.” lt was the sentiment that actuated him in the apponitment of ex-Gov Jones of Alabama tothe federal judge- ship in that state, which appointment is announced today. ‘The selectiou of ex-Gav, Jones also barmonizes with the new policy conceived by President Roosevelt and party leaders. Ex-Gov, Jones always has bean a‘ Democrat and was twice chief execu~ tive of his state. He was Gen. Gor- don’s adjutant general during the civil war. In 1896, as a Gold Democrat, he supported Palmer and Buckner. It is understood that Booker T. Wash- ington, the well knowo negro educator was one of ex-Gov. Jones’ supporters. The latter not only has aided Mr. Washington in his efforts to elevate the negro suffrage amendment incor- porated in the Alabama constitution. Representative Thompson of Ala- bama, a Democrat, who learned of ex-Gov. Jones’ appointment from the president himself, upon leaving the White House, expressed satisfaction over the president's action. “Mr. Jones,”’ said he, “is not only one of the ablest lawyers in Alabama, but one the most prominent and high- ly esteemed citizens of the state.” As three years intervene between now and the next presidential election there will be many opportunities for replacing old-time leaders witb those The perfect hush of summer broods o'er | from the ranks of the recruits in the all The distant masses of blue, misty trees; The sleeping clouds, like spell-bound pal- aces, Lie motionless, nor heed the parting call n belated cuckoo.
