SOLUTION OF RACE PROBLEM

The Atlanta Constitution, which long has been leader ot the best thought of the progressive south, speaking or the race problem in that section Of the United States, proposes white immigra- ton Instead of the oft suggested colored emigration as panecs for the situation. It says:
 "The surest, swiftest and best solu- ton of the race problem in the south ls wholesale white immigration, pre- ferably from the north, but foreign, if necessary"
 The suggestion is a good one. Let the south induce sufficient capital and labor employing white people to go to their states al the race problem will settle itself. There !s ver' little race trouble in those states where there Is remunerative employment for all classes of lsboring people.
