To give a measure of justification for the
bad treatment Of the negroes In the South
we hear much of the vices and weaknesses
of the negro character. 1t Is Well 10 have
some facts and figures on the other side.
Prof. Du Bots OF Atlanta university, has
been at work for year collecting Informal
lion TO show the colored mans capacity
FOR business Reports have been received
from about 2,et9 negro business men. COW
ering all the Southern and several North
err states. One thousand SIX hundred and
twents-four reports have been iabulatei.
These statistics represent a capital OF S.
fls,a59- In twenty cities tabuiated. fifteen
OF them IN the South. the capital repre-
scented sz.ss1 $50. These cities are In four
teen states. New York city stands first,
with sSa3a(o: Richmond. Va, second, with
90: Charleston. s. g, third, with S2i2.-
coo. Pine Bluff. Ark, fourth. with sele, 100.
These figures throw q broad beam Of light
upon the negro problem. II is Booker r.
Washsagton's contention that peace. hap
piness and prosperity for his race lie in
the direction of industrial education and
the development Of the business Instincts
and these statistics show that hts teach
inss are already bearing fruit. 1t II sound
doctrine, and here IS proof Of it.-Leslle's
