History has repeatedly shown that
whenever two distinct races are thrown
together, one of three things Is in
evitable: One race is utterly extermi-
mated one is held in bondage by the
other, or the two ntermingle into one
people-one nationality. There are no
exceptions to this law.
This Is being demonstrated to-day
by the American Indian. This people
Is slowly dying out. being now practi-
cal1y confined in their narrow reserves,

This proposition when applied to the
negroes in the United States has given
rise to more than one heated debate,

white race is not to hold the other in

diminishing, is likewise indisputahle.
Thus the subject Is exhausted: or the
