Race Adjustment is the modest
name given by this modest Negro pro-
fessor to his book that contains nine.
teen brilliant, thoughtful. authorita,
tive essays written in the kings best
English upon subjects vital to every
Negro-in fact, to every man in Amer
lea. 1t is hard to select the best ones
out Of list like this: Radicals and
Conservatives" "As to the Leopard's
Spots" AN Appeal to Reason on the
Race Problem" ',The Negro's Part In
the Negro Problem" Social Equality"
THE City Negro Religion as a Sol
vent of the Race Problem" The Land
Of Goshen" Rise Of the Professional
Class" Eminent Negroes" etc.
Professor Miller. the author, is dean
Of the College of Arts and Sciences in
Howard university and professor Of
mathematics and sociology. He was
fellow in the postgraduate school in
Johns Hopkins university. While there
be studied under such eminent schol-
ars as DR.. Fabian Franklin and Pro-
fessor Simon Newcomb.
Although hard student and an in
cessant worker. Professor Miller is not
by any means either pedantic or peda-
gogical. Neither has he allowed much
learning to make him mad" he has
an abiding faith in the religion of the
fathers. as can be seen from reading
Of his essay Religion as Solvent Of
the Race Problem"
He is a typical college man.
The book is, indeed. popular with
the young men around Howard. They
can be heard repeating iong passages
in Race Adjustment" from memory
Here is one of the popular passages OF
the college boys: Genius knows no
age. no country, no race. 1t belongs to
mankind. The Negro enters into the
Inheritance Of all the ages on equal
terms with the rest, and who can say
that he will not contribute his quota
Of genius to enrich the blood OF the

First Gun From Intellectual Battery Of fa.
NOUS Negro Scholar Put Author of
''leopard's Spots" to fIlght-fame
Seekers Pathway Blocked BY
Race Adjustment.
By OLIVER RANDOLPH.

Kelly Miller was first known to the
American public as the foremost math-
ematician of his race. Next he began
to attract attention as a sociologist,
and now, since the publication Of his
book, Race Adjustment" he enjoys
by common consent the unique distinc-
tion Of being the chief advocate for
the Negroes side in the discussion Of
the great race question before the
tribunal of the world.
The book that has brought the writ
er into the limelight of the nations has
had most peculiar influence upon the
reading public In that 1t has proved an
eye opener to white and colored people
alike-to the former because they were
unaware Of the ability Of single liv-
ing Negro to take such a view and
make such presentation Of the Ne
gro's side Of the Negro question; to the
latter because they had never before
known how far as a race of people
they had gone. No one for this or that
cause had ever measured the distance.
White men Of ability were not attract
ed TO the task. and before the day of
Professor Miller it is doubtful indeed
If there were others with the prepared
ness to do it.
But Professor Miller took up the
task and put the results of his labors
and Investigations into this book,
Race Adjustment" The book is tax
Ing so well with the reading public
that it is now looked upon as an au.
thority on the questions dealt with. 1t
hushed. with politeness, yet with firm
ness. by the adroit marshaling Of in
disputable statistics, the voice and ST.
fenced the pen Of race agitators. The
world now discredits their utterances
and writings and will continue to do
so until these agitators are prepared
with facts and figures to meet the evil
dence submitted by Kelly Miller in
this remarkable book. The Varda-
mans. Tillmans. Hoke Smiths. Thomas
Dixons. Tom Watsons and John Tenn
pie Graveses have found their path
way to fame blocked by the writings
of this Negro scholar Miller has
thrown the searchlight Of intelligent
investigation upon the passports Of
these fame seeking adventures. and
an unbiased public has pronounced
them fraudulent.
The scholarship Of Professor Miller
is the one thing that overawes. dis
qualities and puts at such disadvantage
his white antagonists. He is by train
ing and education easily the mental
superior Of the aforesaid public men.
Ii is matter Of record that Mr.. Dixon
did essay to grapDle with Professor
Miller. but the professors first gun,
"As to the Leopard's Spots" page
1856 In Race Adjustment') silenced
Mr.. Dixon's battery aud forced him
to retreat in disorder.
The reading by thousands of people Of
Professor Miller's letter to Mr.. Dixon
on THE Leopard's Spots" has played
no small part In arousing intelligent
opposition to Mr.. Dixon's plays and
preventing them from being staged In
many cities of the north. -
