Toe same is hdrmful. There is
no Necessity for doing Anything to
widen the breach between the two
races. The problem will take care
of itselc. The best White men Of
this country, are willing to give a
worthy Negro, chance in the race
of life. Any other policy is against
humanity's laws, aud against the
laws of God. The moral eff ct Of
the bill will be good for all
classes. What is the interest Of
one, is the interest of the other.
We stand or fall together. In
proportion as the Negro is educated
along the intellectual, moral and
industrial line, does he become a
benefit aud protection to society?
This we realize, and so does the
White man. Men Of great souls
are not willing to close the doors
of hope in The face Of 10000, 900
Negroes. They are anxious that
their condition shall improve.
They realize that all talk of
deportation is folly, aud that the
only remedy is to be found in the
racial evolution seen every day in
individual cases where the Negroes
have arisen from the depths of
slavery and ignorance, to the
heights of manhood aud character.
The Negro must learn that men
have ceased to favor him because
of his color, but will demand of
him that merit which always wins
respect. His children must be
placed in school and kept there.
They must be taught 10 labor,
aud must learn that auy honorable
toll exalts the man who performs
his task well. The tendency to
loaf on the streets, to regard
manual labor as disnonorable, is
not conductive to our betterment.
In keeping with this idea the
Quindaro movement is being
fostered. The Legislature ol

all men, regardless of race, has

Point of View of the Negro
Himself.
From the Worlds wo-k.

FROM the World's Wo-k.
In most of the discu ssion of the
race problem little is said of the
negro's own point of view. He is
the chief figure of it all. He is at
once the innocent cause of it and
the chief factor in it's solution.
There has not been time enough
nor work enough nor money
enough nor opportunity for great
masses of them to be built up to
responsible citizenship, but the
leaders Of the race-the real
leaders-show steady growth in
thrift, in responsibility and good
citizenship. a study of the result
OF the work done at any of the
great schools where they are
= 'operly trained will give The
w. )st Respondent man high hope.
l fact, the record of the best men
aud women who have gone out
from Hampton and Tuskegee and
other such training places makes
one of the most remarkable
chapters in human progress. The
negro conferences that ere held at
Tuskegee show year after year
growth OF character and Of
economic efficiency among large
masses of them; and the reports of
the Negro business mems league
and other such bodies tell of re-
markable progress.
The negro's children, too, will
be wiser than he is; and, after all,
this whole problem is not one that
we who are now living shall see
the end Of. If we pass it to the
next generation in better shape
than we found it-that is all we
can hope to do. And no an who
knows Southern life can for a
moment doubt that it is now in
very much better shape than it was
twenty years age. Sc iHaoh better
is it that the aspects it now
presents are not discouraging to
those who know what has been
done.

prOpriated.

Topeka, March 13, 1903.
(SpeciaO-W. T. Vernon presl-
dent Of the University at Quindaro, J.,
Is much pleased over the liberal ap-
preparation which the Legislature
has allowed his school. In dis
cusslng the matter he said:
"'This Legislature has been
very kind to us. Generally speak
ing the anti.lynching bill is a good
thing for the White men as we'll
as the Negro. But l, for one
do not want to feel that the
Negroes of the state alone wanted
such Legislation.
The better element in my race,
feel that when it is said that they
alone champion the same that ii
may be miscCnstrued as an apology
for crime. Not so. We, as a
race, have no sympathy with
crlninality and want to be under
stood as law aud order people,
who want only that our criminal
class sholl be treated as all Others
before the law. | believe that the
tendency Of today, is to magnify
the so-called race question.
