glad to see Chicago waking up. The
World protests in behalf of the dar

been frank and truthful and honest
in our dealing with him, we are go

He is Mr. Alfred Stone, and because
the news dispatches titled him PRO

the conclusion that he is membc;
OF that notorious university
But be that as it may, Mr. Stone i,
an authority on the negro race H,
has spent years studying his history

study He has lectured before tn
most intelligent audiences in all part
OF the country, has contributed art
cles to the foremost magazines Oh
the negro race and is recognized a

subject.
Moreover he Is a Stouthcrner,
Mississippian and citizen of thi

studied the negro race from an TN
prejudiced standpoint even If he
a Southerner, and whatever he ma
I. say it can be depended upon as bein

!. result OF years of careful research.
