1t was a great day for the fair.
There was no doubt of it, for
everybody said SO to everybody
else.
But one man in the throng ap-
preaching the scene of the festival
did not appear to be partici pating

In a little grove just outside

without 1ninding the lavish praises
bestowed by their owners. Here
and there a horse leaned YEARLY
against a tree. Some obviously
rubbed their noses along the bark
when an especial burst of eloquence
set out their astonishing capabil-
tiles. But they did not resent the
familiarity of grimy fingers rolling
up their fabby lips or thumbs
poking the puffs on their legs.
Men sauntered here and there,
and whitfield and talked "pedi-
gree" and performance" and
borrowed "chaws," and forensi-
cal1y debated points
The man of the snarled whiskers
noted their activity from afar. He
pulled up, clambered stiffiy off the
seat of his road-cart and removed
bit of strap-iron that was pinched
over the nose of his horse to check

NEGRO PRO

sents. q solution of the negro problem
that In eminently sensible and prac-
ticable. He possesses that Italians,
Austrians and other foreigners be in
duced to locate in the south with a
view to compelling a dispersion OF
the negroes over the northern and
western states.
Such spreading of the negroes
over the country would take from
the race problem all sectionalism,
waking it what it really is, a nation
al problem. About IL per cent O.
the county consists of negroes, and
II the PERCENTAGE were evenly spread
over the country the race problem
would soon cease to be troublesome

would under such circumstances fine
better fields and larger opportunities
He would be more apt to secur'
political and industrial recognition
Color prejudice might continue to ex
list, but political prejudice would b
far less than now if in the congeste

DIR. Rabbits plan deserves seriou
consideration. It is not one that ca
be suddenly carried into effect. A
that would be done would be to stal

would cause an outflow of black

Any material change in the RAJ
situation involves a great deal

There are those who think the

The Russian forces would perhaps
be withdrawn behind Lake Baikal,
and the japanese forces would not
go beyond Hardin. a thousand miles
or more would stretch between.
