Thrilled with the sweep of airy motion
And glad because the world is wide.

The Whirling winds divide the deep.

rested are Lem Chez, a prominent Chi

THE NEGRO PROBLEM.
Bishop Hartzell Tells why Negroes In the
United states Cannot BE Trans
Dorted to LiberIa.

Appleton, Wis, April Rev. DIT.
H. F. Hartzell, bishop Of all the Afri-
can missions Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church, says transportation OF
negroes to Liberia would be futile as
a solution of the race problem, because
GOO to 800 negroes are born In the
United States daily and 1t would take
great shiploads daily to transport
them. The question can be settled, he
adds, only by keeping them in this
country and by treating the negro
fairly and giving him all his rights.
He will demand attention for the ne
gro problem along this line at the
Methodist Episcopal conference In
May at Los Angeles, Cal.
