Secretary Hoke Smith, in a re-
cent speech before a conference of
Northern and Southern business
men, in New York City, said that
there is no Negro problem in the
Scuth-nothing to prevent North
ern people from immigrating to the
South and helping develop its re-
sources. That will do we'll enough
to encourage immigration, but we
who live here are convinced beyond
doubt that problem of some kind
exists and the great question of mo-
ment is how and when this problem
will be efectually solved. We are
inclined to the belief that education
and wealth are some of the means
through which these race differences
are to be settled. We do not believe
the Secretary ignores the fact that
there is some sort of a race problem
in the South, but would rather call
it by some other name. The Tus
kegee Student.
