This popular young couple stole

intimate friends, and were quietly

Rev. DIR. Foss, attending the Freed
mans Aid convention in Pittsburg
yesterday took occasion to declare
"There is no negro problem; it is
the problem of the Nation and hui
manly" and he made an eloquent
and fervid plea" for securing "oivil,
litioal and social equality to ALL"
Civil and political equality is all
right, but when the bishop includes
social equality he is up against as
big problem as ever faced the
American people. He will find it
in his own church and in all other
churches, and in his own section as
we'll as in the South, There is not
county or township in the United
States where it is q recognized rule.
Opposition is stronger among
American women than American
men. Social equality exists no

people think it desirable or posi-
BILE. The old and threadbare argu-
ment, Glow would you like your
sister or daughter to marry ne

way satisfactory to the very few

be, William j. Bryan talked more
good common sense on the subject
the other day in some remarks he
made on the Booker Washington
dinner incident:
No advantage is 10 be gained by
ignoring race prejudice; it is wiser
to recognize it and to make our
plans conform to it. Raoe pride,
like self.respeot, is valuable char
aoteristio. Race pride will do the
negro good; he has reason to be
proud of what his race has already
accomplished, and he can employ
all the energies of strenuous life
in an effort to show that his race is
deserving of high place among
the races of the earth, and that
place will depend, not upon social
distinctions, but upon mental
breadth and mnraI worth. The
race question which We have on
hand will require for it's proper So
luton the intelligence and patriot
ism of all the people, black as we'll
as white. The recent occurrence
at tile White House will not make
that solution easier, but it ought to
convince all of the folly of adding
to those problems which we must
meet another greater and more
complicated race problem in the
Orient -Pittsburg Post.
