publication. Its equal has never been
seen In Utah before. and 1t Is highly

Der of the Deseret News is as usual,

half-tones OF Salt Lake City scenery,

grown into the habit of expecting
something great when the Christmas
edition of the Deseret News makes its
appearance, but this year II surpassed
all expectations and all previous ef-
forts. II consisted OF So pages, print

beautiful engravings, and was a mag

vorable to his development along correct
lines as upon the Southern farm. Here
the number of laborers actually employed,
compared with the number which could
be profita bly, employed, are not only COM
paratiyely few but there is no crush and
scramble for employment, Civ
ing rise to questions of race
competition and preference, such
as we have on the Pacific coast between
the whites and Chinese, or in the mines
and mills of the North. Nor is farm
life repressive of the best and strongest
qualities in man, as IS exemplfied by the
fact that from hence nave come many
of the men who throughout our history
have exerted controlling influence in
every line of human effort. Upon the
Southern farm the negro is constantly
surrounded and safeguarded by
Influences which tend to pro
tect him against the temptations to
which his weak and credulous nature Is
peculiarly subject There he is strength
cned, encouraged, and supported by close
daily contact with a superior race, which
! bear for him sincere and genuine friend
ship and sympathy, and whom he respects,
loves, initiates, and sometimes essays to
emulate Whatever in the way OF i'm
provement and development he has

irage, the South will not hesitate IN max
ing It's choice. Men do not hesitate IL
making choice between life and death,
even though life be conditioned upon OPP
pressive terms.
The negro industrial situation does not
present present, but only a prospective
problem. Up to the present time, the
negro has confined his activities chiefly
10 doing domestic and mental service in
the North and farm work in the South.
For these occupations he is fitted, both
by nature and long training. and in their
pursuit there has been up to the present
time but little friction be
TWEEN him and his white co-laborers
new destiny is now projected for him.
His energies are not only to be stimulated
in these old lines, but also directed into
new channels. In short, the negro is to
become the subject of new explorations
and, as result. we are in the midst of
noisy propaganda for negro industrial
education. Under the new regime, the
the negro is not only to be taught and
trained in habits of industry, thrift, and
economy, and made thereby better serv-
ants, laborers, and farmers, but they are
also to be taught in the technique and
practice of the echanic and industrial
arts and become mechanics and atlsans,
skilled in the use and manipulation of
tools and machinery. His education along
these former lines Is, in my judgment,
unqualifiedly commendable and it bene-
fits, both TO him ard the country, will
be incalculable / would not by any
means suggest his exclusion from educa-
tional opportunities along these latter
lines, but j recognize the existence of a
racial sentiment or prejudice, if you
please, in some sections of this country,
likely to become as uncompromising upon
the subject OF labor contact with this
race as it is in another section uneom-
promising upon the subject OF political
contact with him, and for reasons not
fundamentally different; and l would
raise here tonight the question whether,
unless his training for competition in GER
tain lines Of employment shall take into
consideration these actual and known SEN
tinents and be limited and regulated ac-
cordingly in endeayorlng to mitigate one
assumed unfavorable condition, he may
not be hurled against another condition

| skilled labor. / do not mean to say the
door of opportunity in this direction
should be closed to him. On the con-
trary, have no doubt that a limited
number of negro skilled laborers may find
employment, both in the North and the
South, especially in the South. But when
this agitation, for taking the negro from
the pillow handles and placing him in the
factory shall have had its full fruition,
when the negro mind sholl have become
inflamed with the idea that he can best
work out his destiny in the shop and the
null and the factory and tens of thou
sands OF them shall have boone skilled
laborers, where, l ask, will they find
work to do? That is the practically inn
portant question Will the captains of
industry In the North throw open the
doors of the great establishments to him
IN collaboration with their white EN-
ployees or, in some instances, to their ex-
cluslon? What answer have the great
employers of labor in the North to make
to these questions? What has Presidents
Gomrers and Mitchell, what the opera
tiyes in the coal mines and smelling furn-
aces and factories of PENNSYLVANIA and
Ohio and Illinois, and in the cotton mills
Of Lowell and Fall River, to say about it?
White men of the West will not work in
collaboration with the Chnaman. Will
the white men of the North collaborate
with the negro? There are mills and
factories in the South-plenty of them
and there are going to be more of them.
But white men and women are doing the
work of these factories in the South, as
well as in those of the North Where
then, ask again, are these negro skilled
laborcrs and factory operatives to find
employment? In the sense of present ade-
quate, remuncrative and uplifting en-
ployment, under circumstances exception
ally favorable to his development into in
dependent and self-assertive manhood, and
fer which he is particularly adapted and
fitted, there is not a present negro indus
