Prof. ]. Silone Yates stands AS
one of the leading negro women in
the United States. She was reared
i'll historic New England and re-
ce,ved her grammar education in
the schools of New York and was
the first woman of color to re-
ceieve a certificate emitting her to
teach in the public schools of New
port, Rhode Island. She graduated
from the Rogers High school Of
Newport. AS valedictorian of her
class, receiving the scholarship
medal and was the only colored
pupil i'll the class. Two years later
she was graduated with honors.
from the Rhode Island State Nor.
NAL school with high honors.
Since that time she has devoted her
entire life to the work of educating
and elevating her race. Besides
her work in the school room. Mrs.
Y ates has done much in the or
g~anization known as the national
association of colored women. She

period of eight years beginning in
1881, Mrs. Yates held the chair of
natural science in Lincoln Institute.
with perfect satisfaction to all con
cerned and was recalled there to
take the chair of pedagogy in 1902.
Mrs. Yates is a writer of national
rcpute, having contributed articles
to some of the best magazines in
the country. Her connection with
Lincoln Institute adds much to the
strength of the faculty there as
well as being a source of great in
spiration for the many young ladies

tact.

sometimes mobbed because of his

the Joplin mob, the Evansville and
Danville mobs and many others.
Achievements Of the Freedman.
He pays taxes on over $6oo,ooo,-
900 worth of realty holdings, ex-
elusive of church and school prop
erty all amassed by hard labor and
not very remunerative wages, since
his emancipation.
He has produced some states
men, such as Douglass, Bruce, FL
lott, and White; orators, such as
Price, Bowen, Mason and Derrick J;
educators, such as Payne, Mitchell,
and the apostle of industrialism,
Booker T. Washington.
Negro boys have carried off hon
ors at Cornell, Brown, Yale and
Harvard.
Flora Batson, the song bird ;
Dubois, the scholar; Taylor, the
musician /; Ira Aldridge, the TRACE

Tanner has painted, Dunbar has
tuned his Tyre and, touched by the
muse, broken forth in song that
dies no more.
These are the giants, the ones
who have arisen to noble heights
and contributed to the sum total of
Americas great achievements.
There are still millions who de-
spite ignorance and poverty, toll on,
trust God and live honest lives and
in humble homes do the best they
can or know.
There are negro women by the
thousands who toll over the wash
tub and the ironing board and still
live true to home and love-whose
every effort is for the veal and bet
ter life of their Children.
There are hundreds of thousands
of negro youth educated and refined
who seek employment of the higher
kind and, failing to secure the same,
accept any honorable toll, however
mental, and cheerfully struggle and
hope for better things.

whom death is sweet if by the same
they live in happiness and security.
This | would call unjust treatment.
AS to the matter of comfort in
places of travel, quite often are
negroes made to feel positive dis
comfort, being compelled to GO
hungry with money in their pock-
cts when no one will sell to them.
They are made to travel in second
class coaches and "Jim Crow" cars,
after paying the same fare as other
passengers.
The negro who must thus escort
or send his female relatives from
one locality to another will hardly
feel that such treatment is just.
Again, the disfranchisement of
the negro is becoming so general
that there seems in many sections,
not southern, a disposition to ac-
quiesce in the same.
| am quite sure that in America,
we all are convinced that every citi-
zen should have a "free ballot and a
fair count" and any other system
is unjust, tyrannical and revolution
airy.
! would not for once say that ir-
responsible men should vote simply
because they are of age, but l do
believe that if property or educa-
tional qualifications are to be in
vogue, they should apply to the
white mar and negro alike.
In such a country as ours, where
the people are sovereigns, the bal
lot should be held sacred and is the
means of protection for any con-
stituency. Deprived of this the
regnancy of justice is a hollow
mockery and free government a
myth.
Again, even where there re-
mains the right to vote, we some
times have ambitions to hold office.
For what a we expect or hope?
| fear not much in the way of
offices of public trust.
No man who does not feel as we
only can feel, realizing how high
our ambition scars, and how low
must remain our estate, can appre-
ciate the feeling of some negroes
who have predictions towards
politics and craftsmanship and yet
must forever eschew the same be-
cause of this condition. Personally,
it is my opinion that the negroes
earlier belief that politics constitut-
ed the sine qua non of his life's
mission was baneful. His real con
ception of true citizenship should be
the securing of education and real
property, becoming a tax payer, the
formation of noble character and
the participation in politics, as does
every patriotic citizen, as a matter
of civic duty-to assist in the Sc
curing of the purity and prosperity
of the state and the happiness of
all the people.
But to day the greatest of all suf-
ferings of the Negroes portion is
the fact that in many localities he is
almost without protection of law or
guarantee of life. To be simply
accused of a crime now often means
that his life is in jeopardy. Lynch

To begin with, l think there is

more.
AS to your next query, may |
say | believe it possible to effect a
better understanding between the
races.
cannot bring myself to that de-
gree of pessimism that doubts the
final triumph of right and justice.
The laws of the land provide for
the same, the economy of Divine
creation demands it.
A better era will come.
l have always found the best
white men i'll sympathy with ne
groes striving for the right.
The better elements in both races
have no quarrel. Our serious race
troubles are usually begun by the
more radical and oft-times vicious of
both races.
These sooner or later enlist the
sympathies of the better classes.
The sanest thought of the age is
for a better understanding. This
will come by the pursuance of the
proper course on the part of the
leaders.
Let the white minister preach
charity, righteousness and the true
Christianity, at the same time con-
demning without stint sin and
violence, whether on the part of the
law breaker or the mob.
Let the negro minister preach
the same Christianity and love, take
the same stand against criminals
and mobs, and foster morality and
education among his people.
Let him teach the negro that
brains, character and property are
today the greatest need. Let him
preach that, since we are on trial,
we must all the more struggle to
rise.
Let all the race be as quick to
have a negro criminal punished, ac-
cording to law, as we are any of
the American people, and thus re-
flute the charge that we uphold
criminals and maintain a lower
standard of morals than other c
More Negro Farmers the Need.
The negro needs more farmers
and fewer loafers, more money and
less poverty, more true manhood
and less veneer and sham, more
doctors and fewer quacks, more
competent school teachers and few
er wage-drawing school keepers.
In short, he must approach mans
highest standard and the demands
of God everywhere.
Then let the whites who would
settle the question Alright keep rad
ical negro haters away from Chau-
tauquas, where the best means of
settling the race question are being
discussed. Let them cease to give
wide publicity to the sayings of I'M
reasonable orators (who will not
see any thing good in us), whose
high official position enables them
to add fuel to flames already con
Stunning u national traditions and
principles sacredly c%onsecrated by
the blood of patriots of both races
since Knox was martyred at Bunker
Hill or the negro, Attacks, fell on
Boston Common. This will all
bring about the only solution con-
sistent with reason and our present
civilization.
Lastly, | aver that the races are
to continue to exist side by side as
American citizens, emigration being
impossible.
The Jamestown settlers came to
America in 1907, the negroes in
1919, the Pilgrim Fathers in 1920.

slave, they have worked, suffered,
