The result is that the more the

INDUSTRIAL EVOLUTION THREAT
ENED.

Not only do the present position
and intentions of the dominant fac
tion of the South thus threaten the
industrial evolution of the nation,
but they are having an even more
subtle and dangerous effect on the
ethical stamina OF this country-the
national sense OF right and wrong.
The nation knows it has wronged
the Negro. The nation knows that
no other class of Americans is hav-
ing the struggle that black men are
having; the nation knows that we
are not getting a square deal eth
er in politics or in industry, nor ev-
en- in religion. AMI yet, despite,
this, the people OF this country are
salving their cOnsciences by empha-
sizing and blazoning all the faults
AMI foibles of the oppressed, and
standing dumb before the guilt of
the oppressOr. The oppressors
themselves-that great class of
Southerners who despise the Ne
groes, fear their ambition and are
determined TO crush them forever
are to-day mining the sense OF right
and justice in themselves and their
neighbors. There is in the South a
class of upright, honest men and wo-
men, like the late Chancellor Walter
Hill, who know the wrong that is
being perpetrated and the fatal pro
gramme. that is being carried
out. But this class of men are ever
being forced into silence, and con
tinually, the south is finding its
leadership, not from it's highest,
but from it's lowest ethical strata
of Dixons and Vardamans and Till
mans.

THE NEGRO AMERICAN AND
THE BALLOT.

For nearly a quarter of a century
the Negro American ana his friends
have pursued a policy OF silence and
drift so far as the political situation
in the South is concerned. For
twenty-five years our dominant
watchword has been, ''No political
agitation, conciliation of the South
ern white people and honest endeav-
or to catch - with the vanguard of
civilization. IL was a generous, self
denying programme, a programme
worthy OF the best traditions of
race whose watchword is Patience
rather than ruthless Triumph
What has been the result of
this rendering of the olive branch TO
the South?
