for the negroes to those enjoyed by
the white children who live in thu
more sparsely settled hill counties
! wish it understood that my objec.
ton TO this bill does not grow GU
of a spirit OF race hatred. | have
no such feeling for the negro. Or
the contrary, | wish the race well
| should like to see it developed
along moral and industrial lines
until it shall become a positive fac
tor for good, rather than a menace
to our ciyilization-a blessing rather
than a curse. The only hope for
the consummation of that wish, is
for the State TO take matters in hand,
ignore the abuse and criticism Of the
ignorant time-servers of both the
North and South, and give to the
negro that which the negro needs
Educate his heart and his hands,
give him, if possible, a moral basis
to build upon, and you will thereby
help the negro and the State also.
Now, Gentlemen, the whole stu
alton in the light Of the physical
facts involved, and the lessons of
history presents a stupenduous prob
lem, to solve which will test the
permanency of American civiliza-
ton. Thomas Jefferson, nearly one
hundred years ago, said, Il am GER
tain that the negroes will be free,
and | am equally certain that they
can never live on the same soil on
terms of social or political equality
with the whites" Nothing truer
was ever uttered, unless it was the
following from Abraham Lincoln;
THE wise statesman will profit by
the wisdom of experience and shun
the rocks upon which other govern
ments have been wrecked, but the
fool, unmindful of the warnings of
history will go headlong to destruc-
ton"
The eyes of the world are upon
Mississippi today, because Missis-
sippi is in the very heart of this
race problem. Let her statesmen Of
today emulate the example and fol-
low the path blazed out by the late
lamented J. z. George, the Great
Commonwealth protagonist in the
work of solving the race problem, in
so far as a State can. 1t calls for
the broadcast philanthropy, wise
and courageous craftsmanship, that
may be done, shall be done
in the fear of God for the good of

Every time any considerable body
of Democrats get together it is evident
that of all the proposed candidates of
the party, with the possible exception
of Elk President Cleveland, the man
who inspires the most popular enthus
iasm is William Randolph Hearst of
New York. Whether 1t is at a dollar
dinner trying to keep alive interest in
Bryan, at meeting Of conservative
New York politicians in behalf of
Judge Parker, or boom for Senator
German of Maryland or Elk Secretary
Olney'oi Massachusetts, it is apparent
that in spite of all the ridicule with
which the conservative element has
endeavored to head on the Hearst
movement, his strength is really wide
