men and women in the various avoca-
tons of life. While this is encourag-
ing the following things are discourag-
ing:
The increase of crime among those
of the race who come North and go
West. | do not know if | would be
far wrong if | should say that it is
d1scOuraging to see so many members
of the race crowding Northern cities.
While we can not deny that most of
them are caused to leave their South
ern homes owing to conditions that
make it impossible for them to live
there in peace and with credit to them
selves, it seems to me there are other
fields which offer more inviting oppor-
tunities than Northern cities. The
great unsettled West and parts of the
Southwest offer far more favorable op-
pOrtunities for the development of the
race along those lines that will make
us substantial citizens. | have a let
ter informing me that seven hunderd
men can find employment in Oregon
at wages ranging from 81 and upward: ::
also comfortable houses and an oppor-
tunity to buy good land at reasonable
rates.
| know of many places in California
where the opportunities for men and
women far excel anything in the North
for the average wage Garner. But |
referred to the increase of crime among
Negroes in the North. By this, | do
not mean that crime committed in the
North is any worse than crime COM
mitted in the South. | wish to convey
the idea that hitherto crime of the
grOsser type has been more frequent

Inc crime of the man Lane. who

are among the most atrocious and mex
cusable in the category of crimes of
recent occurrences.
we can not do otherwise than con-
denim and deplOre such crimes with
all possible emphasis and pledge our
selves TO do all we can to check the
growth OF these and all other crimes
everywhere among our people
The fact cOnfrOnts us that we can
do more to solving the problem than
anyone else. I believe that if we can
succeed in checking crime on the one
hand and continue to develop char
acter, build up good homes. move on
ward in the acquisition of property,
the time is not far distant when every
thing will be far more favorable to us.
1t is no excuse for us to say that
heinous and more numerous crimes
along some lines are committed by the
white man. Our present condition and
position makes it necessary that we
be not only as good, but better than
the white man if we would come to the
front
