ancPformldable opposition nomination and olocUon His rcnpmi nation tills year by acclamation was as- sured but he facqd a hard campaign and would have to undertake an electioneer- ing tour this summer throughout his dis trlct making personal appeals to voters and resorting to methods which are distasteful to him Here in Washington Mr Littlefield has taken high rank luring his nearly nine years of service as the successor of the late Nelson Dingley He has however encountered fierce opposition to his va rious plans for legislation and It Is has felt that there would be but few more honors In store for him should he remain in Congressional life He has been one of a handful of Republican thinkers in the House Of that independent group he has been a recognized leader The partisans of the administration and not a few partisans among his con- stituents have made his way as rough BS they could This has annoyed him more than many people have supposed Such conditions and dwindling Ro jiibllcaa majority in his district have dis- couraged him of late in speaking his mind on the issues and tendencies of the time and have undoubtedly hastened his determination to quit Many FisrhtK to Come He saw nothing but a series of po- litical fights ahend of him including a fight in a few years agajnst one of colleagues in viewof the prospect that after the next Congress representation in the House will be from four to three members If he could have continued the legislative work that interests him without defend- ing himself in a constant political war fare he might have been willing to

tho Civic Poruot at Carae- gle Hall tonight by Dr Edwin A Alder man president of the University of the speaker said that tile South quite convinced that tt bad acted wisely in the put in excluding the negro from the right of suffrage and that it was determined that the white race should continue to control the political develop bent of the country In Insisting upon social sdpattUemws the South said Dr Alderman is agreed that it is pur- suing a farsighted policy of Juutie both to the negro and the white man A wealth of Ignorance has bees on the discussion of the negro brobk Dr Alderman which quite the heart The deeper ones Knowledge sees the greater ones desire sHenca ant ps ace Tho ualvaraltY njcAsMaaL fieta iacoI- cAn ney preaident of the ctf rtrt big addresa by stating that the most Impressive social movement of the day in this country was the effort being made by the republic to adjust its new self to Its old self so that organically K should lose neither its IndIvIdualism nor its genius Work for ImltiMrlnllsm This effort was more pronounced he said in the Southern States where the whole and economic life was beta turned to piaster the weapons of the pres- entday Industrialism The Sooth must pass from an order depressed by poverty and misrule to an industrial democracy the speaker must regain its natural coBscloueness The Southern people have had the political patience and equipoise not to disturb the only good thing bequeathed by the carpetbag- ger votes namely the provisions for popular education placed in their organic laws They have developed an over whelming public sentiment with the and political agencies necessary to sustain that sentiment n favor of the education of all the people at public thus making of a social system somlfeudal in character a democracy usage as well as in politics phil- osophy South Bet Fitted to In referring to the race problem that the South had to consider President Al tlarman intimated that editors conclusions were largely influenced by environment He left it to be inferred that the South was best fitted to determine the merits of the negro question Itself Essentially the negro as an irritattng race issue to a question of the presence of the African and his numerical propor- tion to the whole population said Dr Alderman In a community of 10000 white inhabitants and negroes the question is an academic one and the doc trinaire and the sentimentklist have a beautiful time with it In a of 1 000 white inhabitants and L8fX ne- groes there is less philosophy and more silence In a community of 10900 white inhabitants and 10000 negroe the supersedes the philosopner in rela- tive Importance and the problem moves along as best It may over the rough ways of democracy Perhaps the chief political construc- tive act of Southern genius in reference to the negro has been the limitation of the whole idea of manhood suffrage thus removing the blacks from politics and centering their thought on Indus- trial life removing frightful temptations from the places of the white people and In a large way placing the whole idea of suffrage on the highest plane possible- In the republic Suffrage Moves Whan all of its ragged edges are trimmed off and its incidental injustices have worn away the suffrage regula- tions of the South in the last decade v111 be seen to have been wise and phil- osophical The white race shall control the po- litical development of the Southern States as it will and oight to control the political development of the rest of this republic As we were European In our origin and structure so we shall re- main refusing to become either Asiatic- on one side of ihe continent or African on the other Tile speaker continues to say that 2600 good negro children were an edu- cation in the public schools of the South even while each State resisted every ef- fort to distribute taxation on racial lines From a condition of absolute illiteracy Continued on Page 2 Column 4

worn in true Southern fashion parted away over on the right and combed down on the other 1 side in long waves His modesty made him a favorite among the veteran members of the Sen ate Those who beame

CHARLES B LITTLEFIBLD

Representative Charles E LitUefieldof the Second Maine district yesterdayforwarded his resignation to SpeakerCannon

A letter ot similar purport has gono

at Augistfiis to take effect September 39 soon afterthe State election in Maine at which his

for the remainder of thisaa well as for the Congress

wilt be chosenThis notion which came very much as-

a surprise to every one in Washingtonand which had been breast only totwo or three friends in Maine is takerbylili LitUefield that he may eater uponthe practice of law In New York Hewill go there probably soon after thepresent session of Congress adjourns

form a partnership with his son C

Mr has h d the change inmind for some time largely for financialreasons Other things however contrib-uted to hasten his decision His friendshere have long known that he has frettedmuch under the annoyances of public lifeIn tho last campaign he had to meet anorganized ancPformldable opposition

nomination and olocUon His rcnpmination tills year by acclamation was as-

sured but he facqd a hard campaign andwould have to undertake an electioneer-ing tour this summer throughout his distrlct making personal appeals to votersand resorting to methods which are

distasteful to himHere in Washington Mr Littlefield has

taken high rank luring his nearly nineyears of service as the successor of thelate Nelson Dingley He has howeverencountered fierce opposition to his various plans for legislation and It Is

has felt that there would bebut few more honors In store for himshould he remain in Congressional lifeHe has been one of a handful of

Republican thinkers in theHouse Of that independent group hehas been a recognized leader

The partisans of the administrationand not a few partisans among his con-

stituents have made his way as roughBS they could This has annoyed himmore than many people have supposedSuch conditions and dwindling Rojiibllcaa majority in his district have dis-

couraged him of late in speaking hismind on the issues and tendencies of thetime and have undoubtedly hastened hisdetermination to quit

Many FisrhtK to ComeHe saw nothing but a series of po-

litical fights ahend of him including afight in a few years agajnst one of

colleagues in viewof the prospectthat after the next Congressrepresentation in the House will be

from four to three members Ifhe could have continued the legislativework that interests him without defend-ing himself in a constant political warfare he might have been willing to re-

main in Congress V

The regret here over the termination oflila Congressional career will bo generalMr Littlofield is of a comparaUvely-Fmnll number of members in tho Houseand almost the only one from New Eng-land with a national reputation

New York March a In the course ofa lecture an The growing South

before tho Civic Poruot at Carae-gle Hall tonight by Dr Edwin A Alderman president of the University of

the speaker said that tile Southquite convinced that tt bad acted

wisely in the put in excluding the negrofrom the right of suffrage and that itwas determined that the white race shouldcontinue to control the political developbent of the country In Insisting upon

social sdpattUemws the South saidDr Alderman is agreed that it is pur-suing a farsighted policy of Juutie bothto the negro and the white man

A wealth of Ignorance has beeson the discussion of the negro

brobk Dr Alderman whichquite the heart The deeperones Knowledge sees the greater onesdesire sHenca ant ps ace

Tho ualvaraltY njcAsMaaL fieta iacoI-

cAn ney preaident of the ctf rtrtbig addresa by stating that the most

Impressive social movement of the dayin this country was the effort being madeby the republic to adjust its new self toIts old self so that organically K shouldlose neither its IndIvIdualism nor its

geniusWork for ImltiMrlnllsm

This effort was more pronounced hesaid in the Southern States where thewhole and economic life was betaturned to piaster the weapons of the pres-entday Industrialism

The Sooth must pass from anorder depressed by poverty and

misrule to an industrial democracythe speaker must regain

its natural coBscloueness The Southernpeople have had the political patienceand equipoise not to disturb the onlygood thing bequeathed by the carpetbag-ger votes namely the provisions forpopular education placed in their organiclaws They have developed an overwhelming public sentiment with the

and political agencies necessary tosustain that sentiment n favor of theeducation of all the people at public

thus making of a social systemsomlfeudal in character a democracy

usage as well as in politics phil-osophy

South Bet Fitted toIn referring to the race problem that

the South had to consider President Altlarman intimated that editors conclusionswere largely influenced by environmentHe left it to be inferred that the Southwas best fitted to determine the meritsof the negro question Itself

Essentially the negro as an irritattngrace issue to a question of the presenceof the African and his numerical propor-tion to the whole population said DrAlderman In a community of 10000white inhabitants and negroes thequestion is an academic one and the doctrinaire and the sentimentklist have abeautiful time with it In aof 1 000 white inhabitants and L8fX ne-groes there is less philosophy and moresilence In a community of 10900 whiteinhabitants and 10000 negroe the

supersedes the philosopner in rela-tive Importance and the problem movesalong as best It may over the roughways of democracy

Perhaps the chief political construc-tive act of Southern genius in referenceto the negro has been the limitation ofthe whole idea of manhood suffragethus removing the blacks from politicsand centering their thought on Indus-trial life removing frightful temptationsfrom the places of the white people andIn a large way placing the whole ideaof suffrage on the highest plane possible-In the republic

Suffrage MovesWhan all of its ragged edges are

trimmed off and its incidental injusticeshave worn away the suffrage regula-tions of the South in the last decadev111 be seen to have been wise and phil-osophical

The white race shall control the po-

litical development of the SouthernStates as it will and oight to controlthe political development of the rest ofthis republic As we were European Inour origin and structure so we shall re-

main refusing to become either Asiatic-on one side of ihe continent or Africanon the other

Tile speaker continues to say that 2600good negro children were an edu-cation in the public schools of the Southeven while each State resisted every ef-fort to distribute taxation on racial linesFrom a condition of absolute illiteracy

Official Washington was profoundlyshocked when it became known through-out the city that Senator Bryan was deadSitting among the elder statesmen amere youth he attracted a great dealof attention not only on this account buthis winning personality engaging man-ners and quiet modesty gave promise ofmaking him an exceeding popular mem-ber of the Upper House of Congress

Within a week two members of theoldest and the youngest In

that body have passed away SenatorWilliam Tinkney Whyte of Marylandwho was born In 1S24 and thereforeeightyfour years of age died in Baltimore on Tuesday last William JamesBryan was born in 1S76 and was onlythirtyone

The veteran Senator from Marylandgave the young Senator from Florida awarm welcome to the Upper House Hetook a fancy to the youthful SenatorAlthough their acquaintance was briefthey got to be good friends Their seatsin the Senate chamber were next to eachother

Good Looking and PopularSenator Bryan was a handsome man

tall slender and boyish in appearanceHis forehead was high and his head wascoverpd by deep bck hair worn in trueSouthern fashion parted away over onthe right and combed down on the other 1

side in long wavesHis modesty made him a favorite

among the veteran members of the Senate Those who beame well acquaintedwith him were impressed withity and it was predicted that he wouldmake his mark if he remained in theSenate fork any length of time He washeard In debate only once and then totake part in a brief colloquy

With two exceptlons Mr Bryan wasthe youngest man who ever occupied aseat In the United States Senate Underthe Federal Constitution a man less thanthirty years of age Is not eligible formembership in that body
