TO SOLVE THE RACE PROBLEM.
Views of Governors and others
Given the New York Journal.
Washington, November q. 1895

Washington, November q, 1928.
To the Editor Of the Journal:
Education has seemed only to better
inform the negro Of the fact that they
can never be admitted to the family cir
Gle Of the white race or to domination in
government, whatever voting strength
they may possess in any locality. In their
resentment they resort to violence.
The conditions have been much aggra-
waited by putting guns and swords in
their hands, as soldiers, and making them
the peers of white men in that high cha
racter and most honorable service. The
republic should not be dependent on any
inferior race TO defend its honor on the
battlefield.
Their ultimate repatriation in Africa Is
the only solution of the negro question,
but this may be far distant, and should
not be In the least compulsory. Once the
movement has begun by voluntary mi
grafton, the government should aid IL as
a duty to that race, and for the sake Of
humanity. JOHN T. MORGAN,
Senator from Alabama.
NO AGITATORS-NO RIOTS.
Atlanta, Ca, November q.
To the Editor of the Journal:
Education alone will never correct the
evils that eliminate in race riots at cleo
South have taxed themselves enormously
to educate the negroes, and in most in
stances it Is, as I'm the case Of the North
Carolina negro editor, an educated negro
who is primarily responsible for race riots.
Legislation alone can prevent such oc-
currences. The ballot-bOX must be more
closely guarded. The franchise must be
taken from the venal and corrupt
Virtue and intelligence alone must WELD
the ballot. Suppress agtators, white and
black, by effective legislation, and race
riots at the polls will be a thing OF the
past A. ID. GAMBLER, Governor.
ADVISES NORTH NOT TO NEEDLE.
Montgomery, Ala, November q.
To the Editor of the Journal:
When the Federal Government ceases TO
select the South as the peculiar and ex-
elusive field for the appointment Of negro
officials and refrains from intermeddling
In our domestic affairs. and the people
OF the North shall come to the conclusion
that we are entirely capable of legislating
for ourselves, and desire only their SYM
pathy and assistance in making better
citizens of negroes, we shall have little
difficulty in solving the race problem.
JOSEPH +. JOHNSON, Governor.
SUPERIOR RACE BOUND TO RULE.
Olympia, Wash. November Dist.
To the Editor of the Journal:
You ask me what is the solution Of the
race problem in the South. Is 1t educa-
ton or matter of legislation? In reply.
allow me to say that neither education
nor the Legislature of South Carolina
can repeal law of nature when inferior
and superior races are brought together.
The superior must rule. and will rule.
j. II. ROGERS, Governor.
TRUE SOLUTION.
Washington November 2lst.
To the Editor of the Journal:
There is but one perfect solution of the
negro question-that is migration. | be-
lieve that God is wiser than man. There
are certain ineradicahe differences be-
tween these races. History has proved
that 1t is impossible 10 make the negro
the white mans equal. We should give
the negro a free hand in another land
He was not made to rule in the temperate
zone of the white man.
l believe when the negro population in
creases, and as IL infringes on the white
race. serious conflicts will place the negro
in the North. as he has been placed in
the South, dominant in population. He
will be aggressive, personal and other
wise, and the white race will resent this.
DONELSON CAFFERY,
Senator from louisiana.
