THE SOUTH STANDS FOR ANGLo-SAX.
ON SUPREMACY.
Tho South has long devoted it's best
thought TO the negro question. This prob
lem has long laid nearest our hearts. Upon
it's solution depends our salvation. IL has
been for u half century at once our bless
Ing and our curse. The edic, OF tho war
pronounced the negro free man and all
else was loft with the people amongst
whom his lot was cast by condition.
Though tho magnitude OF the task imposed
Is appalling. yet they know best his caparl-
tics and assume the obligation imposed
| with conservation. Our conditions CT soil
aud climate require their help. thcir CON
dtions of poverty and ignorance require
our guidance; and thus Is the prosperity Of
either race bound up IN that OF the other
That people can best solve the problem
upon whom the burden is cast by condi-
tion and from whom n reckoning is de
mnnded by all humanity The Negroes I'M

equasion and social growth being the
slowest growth of all the conditions Of
human life long years must Intervene In
the solution Of this pcrplexing problem 1t
is problem after all which solves itself
| as II must by the operation OF the priu-
ciples of strength aud justice As applied by
| tho strong to tho weak In all their COM
pick relationships in life. No resolutions
| of political conventions OF religious as
ti.,,,. api hnr at Fut,,
ment can seriously affect this problem. for
II is a question of human nature. and must
| be solved by the contact Of weakness with
strength. dependency with guidance, ignor-
ance with culture.
| ono principle must forever be recognized
by the world as the basis upon which the
South has accepted tho enormous response
| hii;y of this monotonous qucstion-the
| right OF the Auglo-Saxon TO rule.
The ballot was placed in the Negroes
| hands as a shield and he was taught roll-
| fnce upon Federal aid and that II was his
duty 10 rule. But the experience of the
years has taught him that his neighbors
are his hest friends and that his interests
| arc theirs. So long the negro's political
| rights were directed toward control of ai-
| fairs nj the South by his own race by con
| cert OF political action. so long We're other
questions at the South among the white
race OF small moment. Now, however, that
| the negro has advanced to the plane where
| he can STE that his own interest and that

his domination, he has learned lesson
| Of wisdom and advancement which allows
