+ Negro In the southern cotton field
The problem OF the northern Negro

solution In the efforts now beins
made by the United States depart

couragement the Negro Is receiving in
certain parts of the south to buy land,
to build houses and permanently set
tie on the soil.
The, security of the south against
danger of race riots and evils that
cause them demands that every man,
white and black, should, as far as
possible, own home; hearthstone
around which the interests of the
family can find center; permanent
place of abode on which the whole

have spoken thus far Of that part
OF the population which has but late

the element of unrest among the Ne
groes in the south. While a large
of these people have left the
south upon a definite promise of
higher wages or better treatment, a
greater number are mere social drift,
drawn into the cities with the tide
that sets to the large centesr of pop
ulation from all over the United
States.
While I do not deny that there
arc some advantages for the Negro
n the north which he does not have
n the south, there are also disadvan-
ages. There are the advantages of
