FOLLOWING THE COLOR LINE"
Concluded from page IL

ed men in the state, took up the
work, asking himself, as he says:
What am to do, who have to pray
every night?"
He answered that question by call
ing a meeting at the COlored Y. NJ.
&c. A. building, where some twenty
white men met an equal number OF
Negroes. mostly preachers, and held a
prayer meeting.
The South still looks to its minis
tiers for leadership-and they really
lead. The sermons of men like the
Rev. John E. White. the Rev. c. Z.
Wilmer the Rev. w W. Landrum. who
have spoken with power and ability
against lawlessness and injustice TO
the Negro. have had large influence
in the reconstruction movement.
Recently Ex-Governor Northen has
been travelling through the State of
Georgia, making a notable series OF
speeches. urging the establishment OF
law and order organizations, and
meeting support wherever he goes. He
has talked against mOb-law and lynch
ing in plain language. Here are some
of the things he says:
1--WE shall never settle this until We
give absolute justice to the Negro. We
are not now doing justice to the Ne
gro in Georgia.
Get into contact with the best Ne
groes; there are plenty of good Ne
groes in Georgia. What We must do
is to get the good white folks to leav-
en- the bad white folks and good Ne
groes to leaven the bad Negroes"
There must be no aristocracy OF
crime: a white fiend is as much to be
dreaded as a black brute.
Another great movement, headed by
the Rev. John E. White, plans the ap-
pointment of committees by the COVER
nors of the various Southern States
to consider broadly the whole Negro
question.
These movements do not cover spe.
officially, it will have been observed
the enormously difficult problems Of
politics, and the political relationships
of the races, nor the subject of Negro
education, nor the most exasperating
of all the provocatives-those prob
lens which arise from human contact
in street cars, railroad trains, and In
life generally.
That they will meet the greatest
difficulties in their work is shown BY
such an editorial as the following
published December 18th by the At
lanta Evening News"
mo law of God or man can hold
back the vengeance of our white meI
upon such criminal (the Negro WHIT
attacks a white woman). II necessa
~, We will double and treble and
quadruple the law Of Moses. and hans
off-hand the criminal. or failing to fine
that a remedy. We will hang two
three, or four of the Negroes neares
to the crime, until the crime is NJ
longer done or feared in all this South
ern land that we inhabit and love-"
But these reconstructive movement
are, in their beginnings, full of sig
nifcance and hope; they mean tina
the strong people in the South, stirre,
by a moral impulse, are trying Il
grapple with these problems in a new
way-a constructive way.
con January 81, 1907, the Atlanti
Evening News went into the hands o
a receiver-its failure being due large
ly to the strong public sentimen
against its course before and durini
the riot.
