AN ADDRESS TO THE NATION.
The Afro American Council Issues One on the
Race Problem
lBy the Associated Press

(By the Associated Press.)
Louisville, KY, July S.-The closing day
of the Afro-American Council was marked
chiefly by the presentation OF resolutions
embodying an address to the country at
large on the race problem. After its
adoption the convention adjourned sine
die. The address, in part, is as follows
1--WE recognize with pleasure the friend
ly relation that has existed between the
best people of the white race and our
own, and we sincerely desire that moth
ing may be permitted to mar this rela-
ton. But who can fail to see that the
negro is being held up to public gaze
as the most Objectionable and undesirable
citizen that treads American soil? The
ignorant, vicious, criminal classes are
pointed to as the types and products of
the race, rather than those who are the
output OF the negro's best endeavors for
race development and. uplift. We declare
this standard of measurement to be un-
fair to any people.
Gas to mob violence, while the number
of victims is decreasing, the variety of
provocations which lead up to this act
OF violence is growing more and more in
significant and numerous 1t is not an un-
usual thing to read OF negroes being
lynehed for impudence. refusing to obey,
striking a white man, etc. In some sec
tions of the country it means death for
a negro to attempt to protect the fe-
males of his family. We ask in all sin
cerity: Is this American? Is it right?
Such actions indicate tendency to
anarchy, and anarchy for the negro will
terminate in anarchy for all men, We
make no plea for any man who may be
- he
man: our plea is for law and for the pro-
lection of the innocent.
''It is now clearly evident that the pur-
pose of those who first started ostensibly
to disfranchise the ignorant negro has
been broadened and strengthened. Their
purpose now includes almost all negroes |
In certain of the States this result has
already been achieved and thousands of
qualified men are denied positively and
absolutely the right to vote In such
States taxation without representation
prevails as truly as ever it did when
England held control over the American
colonies We make no objection to the |
Acknowledgement of the ignorant negro,
provided the same classes of the other
race are similarly dealt with. Our con.
tention is not for special but equal
]. C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn, in an
address said:
What the negroes want to do in this
country, is to make friends with the
people. Passing laws will not bring about
the desired result / would feel better
away from home if knew that had the
respect of my neighbors who were willing !
to protrect my family during my alb

storm that has visited the Trinity and
Red River valleys in years, prevailed last

all danger is passed.
While Gainesville and other towns suf-
fered considerable property loss, the
heaviest burden will fall upon the rail
roads. Many washouts occurred and in a
few places the tracks were undermined
from the heavy downpour. There was no
loss of life from the torrent. A north.
bound Santa Re passenger train ran into
a washout last night, eight miles south OF
Gainesville and Engineer M r. Boyce was
killed No one else was injured.
At midnight last night the situation at
Gainesville was considered most alarming.

known as "Gader Flat" hundreds of peo-
pie were in great distress, and for time
it looked as if they could not be rescued.
All were gotten out in safety, however,
and moved to higher part OF town.
Reports from the Southwestern part OF
Texas. where disastrous cloudbursts pre-
vailed yesterday, state that the loss of
life will probably reach fifteen All of the
victims were Mexicans. The waters are
