Then, 0so. the two races must not be allowed to iutermingse for business purposes ex- cept as specified by laws designated to fulfill to the utmost this race separation. have not space here 10 give all the de- tails of this plan, but I have 1t already Ifuliy worked our. The evils from the presence of the negro in our midst arise city purlieus. from the idle masses who frequent these places, from the rowing men who move from one place to another. and from one jail to another. from the awful host of depraved women who en-

We must overcome these things or Another necessity of the situation is for a large number of penal reformatories for youthful petty criminals.

The State ought to found and maintain special industrial OA petty crimes showing a criminal tendency which in time makes the rapist and the murderer can be kept for. an indefinite period until they have acquired habits of industry and a trade, and satisfy the au- ethorities that they may be safely turned
 loose. do not hesitate to say that there are now in the State of Alabama alone at least 10000 negro boys who ought to
 be in such institutions. Moreover. the Ar..k u,f,n ola- fk4n Al nTnC L.l

 which exists for these reformatories, in
 which the essence of control lies in the power of the State.
 It need hardly be said that the lawness- ness in the lynchings and burnings of negroes for horrible crimes will continue until the law provides for speedy trials. and for system of training for the whole youthful negro population by which the vice and insanity of the race can be legally dealt with. do not see how any man of the Ahglo-saxon race, see- ing fair and gentle women torn by mad and insensate lust and foully murdered
 by devils in human form can refrain from
 tearing them limb from limb. Why the very African natives often torture the rapist wit hinconceibab,e tortures. It
 must be remembered that for every two

 enumerated by the press. at least one wo- man has been foully assaulted, her fami- ly left in tears, her home under a weight of grief that no sophistry can roll away
 Perish every negro on earth rather than that women of the Anglo-Saxon race, the hope of the world in the future, should be kept in terror of these hell-hounds of the South.
 I have dweit at some length on these phases of the conditions here. because every one of them must in time arise in Africa. The white man there must face the same issues. He will have the ad- vantage of our experience past and pre- sent, if he is wise enough to use 1t.
 What, then are the lessons that Ameri- ca has to teach Africa? First of all, that there must be no amalgamRhon, no mis- cegenation. Then there ought to be en- tire local separation between each race,
 which can be the more easily acomplished where there is only one race in any num- Der at present. Then the policy for cen- turies to come must be finally settled upon that the negro must be under the political control and below the social state of the white man. But within the limits of their own racial lines the utmost liberty. opportunity. encouragement, help, educa- tion, reiigious sympathy, practical beue- hcence ought to be liberally given them. What is desired is, not that the white man wade into the mud to lift the negro up, but that he fix his own feet firmly on the solid rock of the shore and brace himself to pull the black man out other- wise they will both perish in the mire.
 There has been one result from Ameri- can slavery which is destined to have an immense effect upon the arena of inter- national state-craft. The control over a weaker race that the Anglo-Saxon q use this term for lack of better) has been vested with here has tended to strengthen
