Of his book department to throw The
Leopard $ Spots and "Thc Clans
man out and make my name taboo in
his shop forever more. Then, oh
Lord: will | give thanks, for my wife
will never go there any more, and
shall be saved! At least, III save
from 500 to 81 600 annually.
If the editor Of The State wishes to
test the question of Mr.. Ogden's pitt
full negro obscssion, let him challenge
the president Of the ''Southcrn" Edu-
cational conference to give up his ne
gro propaganda restaurant, or resign
his presidency. III guarantee that
negroes will continue to cat with
WHITE ladies in his store, and that
the conference will find new presid-
ing officer! | may be mistaken; it is
barely possible that Mr.. Ogdcn's in.
novation Of the past few years in asso-
ciatiDg with Southern white people
may have broadencd his mind-but |
will not believe it until see it..
The State asks why | have delayed
my attack on the efforts of group Of
good hearted, weak minded Yankee
philanthropists to pauperizc the cdu-
cational system Of the South in the
interests Of negro equality.
Again, l will be frank. This
"Southern" Educational society is
composed Of many Of my warm per-
sonal friends, among them Mr.. Page,
my publisher. They are in dead ear
nest and their aim is high, and in the
main, good. | have hoped that they
might shake off the influence of such
men as Ogden and the editors Of the
northern negro organs like the Outlook.
But it seems vain hope. The truth
is, these negro propagandists are the
men who secure the funds which
make the "Southern' Educational
board power to be rcckoncd with.
ASS Southcrncr, who loves the
South and the North, and who believes
that the South has performed nigh
ty service for this republic in prcserv
ing our racial integrity in spite of the
efforts of such men as Ogden to cor
rupt it, l view with suspicion the
Greeks who bear gifts. And | venture
mildly to suggest that Southern"
Educational board with its hcadquar-
ters in negro equality restaurant on
Broadway, New York, is a legitimate
subject of discussion.
The State has been deceived, at
least about Mr.. Ogden, whose real in
t,rests have always been with the nc
gro during his entire life. He is the
president Of the board of trustees Of
the negro school at Hampton, and on
the board at Tuskegcc. IF he were to
deny over his signature his negro low
ing obsession, ii would raise laugh
among his friends which could be
heard to Philadelphia. This soft spot
in his brain is so we'll known here that
it is joke, and is excused by his more
robust associates as mild form Of in
sanity.
1t is good time for The State to
gracefully withdraw as an Ogdenito
champion. You are not bound to
keep it up.
Many subtle forces are at work in
America to undermine the barriers
which separate our 100000 Africans
from the white race. There is enough
negro blood here, if allowed to mix
with ours, to drown the national char
acter at last IN a weltcr of negroid
mongrelism. Neither tolcration, edu-
cation nor religion can make negro
white man, nor Justify the pollution
Of our blood with his.
In my humble judgment the most
insidious, dang movement against
Southern seDtiment since the war is
concealed behind the fair front of the
Southern" Educational board, with
its millionaire baokers, of which Mr..
Robert G. Ogden Of the Hampton ne.
gro school, proprietor of the Broad
way negro equality restaurant, is
chairman. -. ... '
