The South and the Negro
Question.

Editor Clark Howell, of the
Atlanta Constitution has contri-
buted to Golfers Weekly, Oct.
p, 1904, an able and conservative
article on THE South aud the
Negro Question" In which he
says'in part:
The South can be, and is, both
fair and just to the negro, and
the only thing that stands in the
way of the establishment of en-
tlrely peaceful and friendly rela-
tons between the two races is
the friction that is engendered
by the use to which the Repub1i-
cans are putting the negro for
selfish, PARTISAN ends-poison-
ing him against his real best
friends and making it the more
difficult for the white people of
the South to do for him what
they would, in e1evating the race
TO the plane of good citizenship,
lfleft to work out the problem with
out constantly being beset by the
firebrands of sectional misrepre-
sentation and racial antagonism.
At no time since the days of
Reconstruction has the tension
between the races in the South
been so marked as now, and it is
the more remarka BILE in that this
condition immediately follows an
era of unprecedented harmony
in the relations between the
whites and the blacks.
For this dep1orab1e develop
ment no one is more responsible
than President Roosevelt; and for
the long period of amicable and
friendly feeling preceding his
administration the country at
large will never know what it
owes to ex-President Cleveland
and to the lamented Mckinley.
Cleveland proved that a demo-
cratic president could be, and
would be, just and fair to the
negro as citizen, and it remain
ed for Mckinley to establish the
fact that even where political ext
gencv demanded that the negro
be awarded Office, it could be
done in a way that left no sting.
The people of the south were
convinced that it was neither
McKinley's desire, nor pleasure,
to ride roughshod over their in
bred sensibilities or their do
nestle traditions"
