Where Mr.. Baker
Misses 1t.

Ray Stannard Baker writes enter
tainingly and instructively, like the
gentleman, student and scholar that
he~is, on the negro problem, in the
current number of the American Mag
azine. No well-informed, fair-minded
southern man can read the article
without agreeing with much that he
says, and approving the kindly and
conservative spirit of the genuine
truth-seeker in which it is written.
But the trouble with Mr.. Baker is
that he avoids, Intentionally or not,
the ugly and urgent phases of the
problem, and confines himself to the
exceptional negro-to the negro who
has education and morals and who
lacks only the whitewash to make
him a white man." This class of our
oolored population presents but IA
minor trouble, a trouble to be treated
in an academic way by the magazines,
and which has no threatening feat
ures in it to menace the lives of our
people, the safety of our. women and
children, and confront us in large
parts of the south with dangers as
real and terrible as ever confronted
the settlers in pioneer days when the
wilderness hid hostile savages bent
on murder, rape and arson.
Mr.. Baker has strangely overlooked
this part of the problem, and it is
this with which we are vitality con-
cerned and need all the help we can
get TO solve it In word, the Grim
snail negro. with no conscience or
civilized human instinct to impose a
limit TO his cruelty and crime, is the
black beast whose baleful shadow
rests upon the whole south; and Mr..
sEafs articles, which will fn1
thousands of sympathetic readers
throughout this section because of
their wise treatment of the milder
phases of the question, contain not
one suggestion as to the real problem
which confronts us with "a condition
and not an academic theory.
1t is we'll enough to talk about the
tragedy of the mulatto" and of the
negro girl seeking the path of virtue
amid an environment of incessant
temptation, and such questions are en-
titled to full. just and sympathetic
consideration. but the real tragedy is
the white woman constantly exposed
to the rape fiend throughout all the
rural districts of the south. and even
in the towns and cities, and the real
problem is how to eliminate " these
thousands and tens of thousands of
negro nomads roaming singly and in
gangs along the railroad tracks and
country roads in the south, and hold
ing the rural population almost in
state of seige.
Let Mr.. Baker, Professor Albert
Bushnell Hart, and other well-mean-
ng gentlemen who have no vital per-
sonal- interest in the issue, no moth

address themselves TO this feature of
the case, and. stripping themselves
bare of every prejudice, inform them
selves fully of the facts in the case
and join with their own countrymen
and own race in the south in the
ork of solving this most terrible
and portentous OF ali American PROB
lens.

In order to divert the attention OF
the esteemed Tampa Tribune for a
moment from the cruel strain and
stress of strenuous current politics
and give it a refreshing change of
subject, we call its attention to the
following from our esteemed contem-
porary, the London Outlook, a truly
wise and Ievel-headed journal which
is always sure of its facts and gen.
eraly sound in its conclusions: :
A cigarette is especially devised
for fitting nicotine into the mouth,
but applies the poison so insidiously
that it ds unfelt. The punishment
would aptly fit the crime if every boy
found cigarette smoking were COM
PEELED to smoke new clay pipe filled
with shag. Such homeopathic treat
ment would be the most effective of
cures.
