The autonomous government under
American supervision which has been
CstG'Iish"d On the islc.I Of Negroes in
the Philippines will be watched with
much interest in this country and
Throughout the world. 1t is an expert
ment upon whose success much Will de-
pend as to our future course in the
Philippines. The people Of Negroes are
all very we'll disposed toward this
country. and their government. under
American protection ana supervision,
starts off most auspicinusly. Tho cleo
ton was peaceful. and the inaugural
ton of the governor and judges by our
military governor was the occasion of
a grand festival. When the Tagals
learn what has been done on Negroes.

Booker T. Washington. the man who
of all others knows the most about the
| negro and the negro question, deals, in
the November Atlantic. with the i'm
possibility of ever solving the negro
problem by attempting to export the
negroes. He says that the next census
will most likely show that we have
about ten millions Of black people in
the United States. About eight mil
lions Of these are in the Southern
states. We have almost nation
within n nation. The negro popula-
ton in the United States lacks but two
millions Of being as large as the whole
population of Mexico. 1t is nearly
twice as large as the population of the
Dominion of Canada. our black popu-
lation is equal to the combined popula-
lions of Switzerland. Greece, Hon
duras. Nicaragua, Cuba, Uruguay,
Santo Domingo. Paraguay ana Costa
! Rica. When We consider. in cOnnec-
ton with these facts, that the race has
doubled itself since its freedom, ana is
still increasing. it hardly seems pos
sible for anyone to consider seriously
any scheme of emigration from Ameri
ca as a method Of solution. At most.
even if the government We're to pro-
vide the means. but few hundred
thousand could be transported each
year. The yearly increase in popula-
ton would more than likely overbal-
ance the number transported. Even if
it did not. the time required to get rid
Of the negro by this method would be
half or three fourths Of a century.

your friend The Kid is off. and as a
way to satisfy his disappointment he
has piled up all the heavy weights and
champions Of America in a heap. and
also those who don't lay any claim to
houOrs at all, and since my name is
mentioned. among others, I feel It my
duty TO respond in q manner to his
challenge.
As you know. Harry, or at least
presume you have seen the Associated

physical and athletic instructor for one
of the finest athletic clubs west of
Chicago the Southern Athletic club
of this city. and while the club will not
tolerate boxing in a professional sense,
I am willing to sacrifice my present po-
sitiOn in order to meet ChOynskfs chaI-
lenge. The only stipulation I wish to
make is that must have time IN which
to get ready, and hope to prove to the
American public that I am not .@Mer-
rimac." but am still afiOat, and while
I have been out Of the challenging
world for almost a year, still I have
not lost interest in my profession. and
il you will act for me I Will meet MI

ments are offered.
