and seize their liberty Is it likely
that any other of the many tribes and
races that have come in here since
Columbus landed would have accept
ed such a condition? Again, when
deprived of the franchise he tamely
submitted. No race that will not
give its life for it's freedom, who will
not venture it for its civil rights, is
likely to stand before the competition
of such a people as began and devel-
oped the habits and customs, the
hopes and aspiration of the English
speaking races. | venture to say that
deep down in tho more acute minds of
this people, glimmering if not a real
ization of this fact is taking form.
The masses probably give it no spe-
cial thought, at least not along the
lines just outlined, but their better
minds must be dwelling upon this, the
problem of their race, and do not
question that one Of the remedies
therein suggested is amalgamation;
and right here let it be understood
that that remedy, of doubtful benefit
to the black race and ruin to the
white, is more threatening than any
other outcome of the racial contact.
The purest stream sucCumbs L.
unchecked contamination Such re-
suits are not the work of a day, a
year, Or even years, but can be marked
by decades and centuries, but they
progress as surely as the rising and
Ut,nS of the sun. Do not think this
danger lies in the aggression of the
blacks, for they rest upon the loose
morality of the outlying elements of
the white race. First and foremost,
see to it that their women are left
alone If there is one fact more than
another which has been beaten in
upon our race in dealing with subject
peoples, it is this dictum. Therefore
in this matter let the laws be as say
age as those Of Draco. We can scarce
ly go too far in devising means to
stamp out the curse"
In the first sentence of the first par
agraph DR.. Polk says that these peo-
pie are children and there is no more
to expect or fear from them than
from children" but hold these last
words in your mind and then read
these uttered in the same paragraph:
"The masses probably give it no spe-
cial thought, at least not along the
lines just outlined, but their better
minds must be dwelling upon this,
the problem of their race, and do not
question that one Of the remedies
therein suggested is amalgamation;
and right here let it be understood
that that remedy, of doubtful benefit
to the black race and ruin to the
white, is more threatening than any
other outcome of this racial contact"
These two declarative sentences dia-
metrically opposite in meaning, yet
uttered in reference to the same OBJ
ject-the Negro-show DR.. Polk up as
not being a very logical reasoner, and
that he depends upon his subject-the
Negro-and the trick or manner of
delivery and not on correct reasoning
to catch his audience. Listen, he
says in one breath that the Negro is
no more to be feared than a child. |
and in the next he magnifes a great
fear of him, pointing it out with great
stress and emphasis and calling it.

ROOMS FOR TEACHERS.

1t is not possible to over-estimate the
necessity of providing rooms for the
teachers who have been invited to hold
their convention in this city on April 4,

There is scarcely home in which one
