NEGRO EQUALITY.
By Cuam.Es J. Suipp
. Editor Oordele Sentinel.
Again has President Roosevelt
offered insult to the South. Loss
than ton days ago he entertained six
negroes at tho Whito House; and
this titrio ho gave thofti a personal
introduction to his Wife, who gdvo
them a cordial handshake,
A howl has gone up from tho
Southern press that this thing shotild
be dono, and yot we think it was
gentler thaa the first, when the pre-
codent waB laid by him in entertain
ing Booker Washington—to draw
from this a painful losson—tho suc
ceeding demagogues of tho Whito
House oan repeat this coming In coil-
fiiot with our deepest southern senti
ment with grentor impunity, as tho
path has been blazed by a pioneer.
Tho racial issue, w th all its hideous
aspects, is again wi;h us, but wo
oling to the hope that there is yet
enough rod blood in tbo South to
orush this Hydra-headed monster—
this time-serving polities, that would,
subvert tho purity of our race and
root out the Inst ideal of our higher
civilization.
Let us reason this thing together:
Now may bo a time whon the South
should deal in superlatives. Drastio
measures, seem probable expedients
—the exigencies of tho situation aro
by no means trifling, involving, as
they do, the issues of our oiviliza-
tion, and those nobler traits that
distinguished our people from tho
crop-eared Puritan of Now England.
Race degeneracy and a polluting
amalgamation, even for tho distant
future, is not compensated by an 7
temporising expedients, even should
they bring in their accomplishment
tho greatest commercial prosperity,
or tho most absolute political raas-
tory, for these goods arc evanescent,
and go with tho season—a super
structure whose foundation is built
on a narrow margin. The elevation
of tho negro moans tho degradation
of the white South. Sooial equality
means a mulatto race to the unborn
generations. We must oithori. keop
theno<>r.psdown, or go down.our
selves; and the man who is not. true
to these traditions of our people is
unfit to represent an honorable con
stituency. It is the dnty of a states
man to know tho lasting good, and
t:ie duty of a patriot to learn it.'
