His book is a remarkable contri-
button to the literature of our
race problem. In it for the first
time we see the naked soul of a
negro beating itself to death
against the bars in which Aryan
society has Gagged him! No white
man with soul can read this
book without a tear. Mr.. Chas.
w. Chesnutt, the negro novelist
believes in amalgamation, for he
told me so. Professor Kelly
Miller, the distinguished negro
teacher of Washington, believes
it. In a recent article he de-
clares:
1T is, of course, impossible to
conceive of two races occupying
the same area, speaking the
same language, worshipping ac-
cording to the same ritual, and
endowed with the same political
and civil privileges without ulti-
mately fusing. Social equality
is not an individual matter, as
many contend, but is vigorously
under the control of public senti-
ment." 4"
l commend the solid logic of
these sentiments from a thought
full negro to the illustrious Soci-
ETY. of pooh-poohs.
What is the attitude of Mr..
Booker II. WASHINGTON on this
vital issue? You will search his
books and listen to his lectures
in vain for any direct answer.
Why? Because, if he dared to
say what he really in his soul of
souls believes, it would end his
great career, both North and
South. In no other way has he
shown his talent as an organizer
and leader of his people with
such consummate skill as in the
dexterity with which he has for
twenty years lodged this issue,
holding steadily the good will of
the Southern white man and the
Northern philanthropist. He is
the greatest diplomat his race
has ever produced.
Yet he who reads between the
lines of his written and spoken
words will find the same purpose
and the same faith which his
more blunt and fearless brethren
have honestly and boldly pro-
claimed. He shows this in his
worship of Frederick Douglass.
In his book, The Future of the
American Negro, we find this
careful sentence:
'To state in detail just what
place the black man will occupy
, in the South as citizen when
he has developed in the direction
named is beyond the wisdom of
any one. f"
Yet on page 60 he says:
'The surest way for the negro
to reach the highest positions is
to prepare himself to fill we'll at
the present the basic occupa-
tions''- independent industries,
of course-for, mark you. "Tus-
| kegee Institute is not a servant

are told: There is an unmis-

tor. | need not stop to explain.
JUST IN so tar as we can place

this race question wiHLdisan-
pear
Why?
The conclusion is obvious:
The negro who holds mortgage
on a white mans house will ulti-
mately demand and receive So
cial recognition from him.
On page &c of his Future of the
American Negro he says: "The
Jew, who was once in about the
same position as the negro is to-
day, has now recognition be-
cause he has entwined himself
about America in a business and
industrial way"
Again his conclusion is obvi-
Gus: The absurdity of the COM
parlson, however, is the import
ant point in this sentence, not
only for the pathetic ignorance
of history it displays but for the
revelation of the writer's secret
hopes and dreams.
The Jew has not been assimil-
ated into our civil and social life
because of money-but for a very
different reason. The Jew be-
longs to our race, the same great
division of humanity. The Sc
mitic group of the white race is,
all in all, the greatest evolved in
history. Their children have
ever led the vanguard of human
progress and achievements. A
great historian and philosopher
once said: "Show me a man of
transcendent genius at any Pc
riod of the worlds history and
I'll show you a man with He
brew blood in his veins.' Our
prejudice against the Jew is not
because of his inferiority, but
because of his genius. We are
afraid of him, we Gentiles who
meet him in the arena of life, get
licked and then make faces at
him. The truth is the Jew had
achieved a noble civilization
had his poets, prophets, priests
and kings when our Germanic
ancestors were still in the woods
cracking cocoanuts and hickory
nuts with monkeys. We have
assimilated the Jew because his
daughter is beautiful and his son
strong in mind and body.

The proprietor informed me that
no coon" could occupy a room
in his house in any capacity,
either as guest or servant. I
gave him a piece of my mind and
left within an hour.
AS a friend of the Negro race
| claim that he should have the
opportunity for the highest, no.
blest and freest development on
his full, rounded manhood. He
has never had this opportunity in
America, either North or South,
and he never can have it. The
forces against him are over
whelming.
My books are simply merciless
records of conditions as they ex-
ist, conditions that can have but
one ending if they are not hon
estly and fearlessly faced. The
Civil War abolished chattel sla-
very. 1t did not settle the Ne
gro problem. 1t settled the
Union question and created the
Negro problem. Frederic Har-
rison, the English philosopher,
declared that the one great shad-
ow which clouds the future of
the American Republic is the ap-
preaching tragedy of the ire
concilable conflict between the
Negro and White Man in the de-
velopment of our society. Mr..
James Bryce recently made a
similar statement.
THE ARGUMENT OF THE OS-
TRICH MAN.
If allowed to remain here the
Negro race in the United States
will number 60, 900, 900 at the end
of this century by their present
rate of increase. Think Of what
this means for a moment and
you face the gravest problem
which ever puzzled the brain of
statesman or philosopher. No
such problem ever before con-
fronted the white man in his re-
corded history. It cannot be
whistled down by opportunists,
politicians, weak-minded opti-
mists or female men. 1t must
be squarely met and fought to a
finish.
Several classes of people at
present obstruct any serious con-
sideration of this question-the
pot-house politician, the ostrich
man, the pooh-pooh man, and the
benevolent old maid. The poll
tician is still busy over the black
mans vote in doubtful States.
The pooh-pooh man needs nc
definition--he was born fool.

For Mr.. Booker T. Washington
as q man and leader of his race l
have always had the warmest ad-
miration. His life is a romance
which appeals to the heart of
univeral humanity. The story of
a little ragged, barefooted pica-
niny who lifted his eyes from a
cabin in the hills of Virginia, saw
a vision and followed it, until at
last he presides over the richest
and most powerful institution of
learning in the South, and sits
down with crowned heads and
Presidents, has no parallel even
in the Tales of the Arabian
Nights.
The spirit of the man, too, has
always impressed me with it's
breadth, generosity and wisdom.
The aim of his work is noble and
inspiring. AS I understand it
from his own words, it is Ito
make Negroes producers, lovers
Of labor, honest, independent,
good" His plan for doing this
is to lead the Negro to the goal
through the development of SOL
i'd character, intelligent industry
and material acquisition.
Only a fool or a knave can find
fault with such an ideal. 1t rests
squarely on the eternal verities.
And yet it will not solve the Ne
gro problem nor bring us within
sight of it's solution. Upon the
other hand, it will only intensity
that problems dangerous feat
ures, complicate and make more
difficult it's ultimate sentiment.
1t is this tragic fact to which
am trying to call the attention of
the nation.
I have for the Negro race only
pity and sympathy, though every
large convention of Negroes
since the appearance Of my first
historical novel on the race prob
lem, has gone out of it's way to
denounce me and declare my
books caricatures and libels or
their people. Their mistake is 9
natural one. My books are hard
reading for a Negro, and yet the
Negroes, in denouncing them,
are unwittingly denouncing one
of their best friends.

ated with Negroes since the
morning of my birth during the
Civil War. My household ser
wants are all negroes. I tool
