where n sloven and slothful people are
now raising futile arms against the re-
lentless spirit Of the times for which
English colonization stands. 1t is an
old story. but shall try to state 1t as
SO often befogs will allow.
To get at the root of the South At
rican question only few facts and con-
ditions before 1880 need be noted. The
first of these is the Boer exodus, early
in the century. from that territory
about the Cape, over which Great Brit
ain ruled. Why they went north it Is
hard to say. They had been given ev-
cry liberty of life and religion. But
they were a sullen and segregative peo-
pie, and the spirit of unrest and adj
vance that came with the English was
as odious to them then as it is today.
So they took to their primitive OK wag-
ons and trekked northward. Some
crossed the Orange and some went on
across the Vaal. Britain did not wish
to hold them. She did not interfere
with their migratlons or their home
building By the middle of the CEN
fury, in fact she had given them cir
independence, with those qualifications
laid down in the Rand river convention
of 1852.
Were they fit for such independence?
Subsequent events have answered that
question. Tho Beers, when still in Cape
Colony. had wanted slaves to do their
work for them. They held that heaven
sent blacks to the land for that par
ticular purpose, and when the English
took the slave away they sulked and
went on their big trek.
Once across the Vaal their treatment
of the blacks soon got them in trouble
again. They did nothing to conciliate
their new neighbors of the desert.
They fought the KafIirs under sekukum,
enslayed what Basutos fell into their
