first is easy, the second difficult.
The country is already well acquaint-
ed with the difficulties, what it now
desires is an Introduction TO a solu-
ton. The citizen who cannot do this
in our Judgment should keep quiet.
DR.. Page in a further summing up
OF his almost truisms" says:
THAT there is "a wide difference
at present between the point of view
OF the great body of the Northerners
and the entire body of the South
erners as TO the Negro; in this. that
Northerners espouse the cause Of
the Negroes as a race, but dislike
Negroes individually, while Southern
ers DO not dislike Negroes individ-
ually, but oppose them as a race.
And that this difference is due TO
conditions and not 10 basic princi-
pies"
DR.. Page seems to be ignorant of
the fact that the demand for Negroes
in the North is greater than the sun
ply. Employment agencies are be-
ing flooded with orders for them and
the revulsion of feeling at the South
IS intensified. AS a result, strin-
gent laws have been enacted here
and elsewhere in this sunny land
In some sections of it a labor agent
takes his own life in his hands when
he steps from the train with the pro-
nounced intention OF carrying away
coiored people to a Northern cline.
We have known instances where
White men who opposed Negroes
when in a meeting with other white
men, would be in favor of them when
they separated and dealt with them
as individuals. If these exhibitions
are due to conditions and not to bas-
&c principles then they can be RENE
