Atlanta, Ca, May 7.-"County and
Municipal Institutions" Outdoor Re-
lief" and .'Vagrancy" We're the sub
Jects discussed at this mornings ses-
sion of the national convention of
French charities and correction in this
city. During the day, the committee
in charge of this work submitted a re-
port advocating the enactment of
law in each state for an inspector of
county and municipal institutions.
Race Problem Discussed.
The convention opened here last
night with large number of delegates
in attendance. The feature of the
opening meeting was the address of
President Robert w. De Forest. in
which he discussed the race question
of the United States, touching not only
the negro problem, but also the Chin
ese and tenement questions. He said,
in part:
"The crank declaration repeated 50,
often by northern men in the southern
educational conference just held at;
Richmond, that the negro problem is
essentially a southern problem and
must be solved by the southern people
simply recognizes a truth of far wider
than application. The white mans
burden, is different in different en-
vironments and not only must those
who do the lifting OF the weight be
those who stand next to it. but those
who stand next to it must be the ones
to decide how to carry it. Their neigh
bors, who usually have troubles of
their own, though OF a different kind,
can best aid by manfully bearing that
| other part of the common burden
| which is nearest to them.
Problem of Tenement Life.
81 come from New York City, the
| city of the tenements, where people
are so crowded together that frequent-
ly twenty-four families are living on
a lot no larger than 25x10O feet; where
there are men, women and children
| living in over $4,000 dark rooms,
which have no more light or ventila-
| tion than can sift into them through
| two other rooms that separate them
from the outer air. To meet such con-
ditions is our part, and one of our sew
eral parts, of this white mans bur-
| den.'
Racial Problem of the Pacific States.
Just so our Pacific states have had
their racial problem. We of the north
and the south know the Chinaman
chiefly as patient laundryman, and
when we see him toiling increasingly
even till the late hours of the night,
when toll for others has ceased, we
are apt to think of him only as use
i full addition to our insufficient labor
ing class. His proposed exclusion
from the United States came as dis
tinct shock not only to our sentimental
conception of American as refuge for
/ the weak and oppressed of all nations,
but to our practical desire to increase
or resources of labor. But we soon real
lized that the Chinese burden rested on
our Pacific slope, and we acquisced
Loyalty in their method of handling it..
