White people VINO believe that the
separation of the races is the best
thing for the perplexing questions
now confronting them deceive them
selves. The deportation Of the Ne
gro is as impracticable as is the de-
portation OF the white man.
The colored people will remain in
this country, because there is no
power that can take them away. The
only proper course is for the one
race to continue in friendly rela-
tionship with the other. The race
hating element in both races should
be suppressed.
