All alcoholic liquors are d|iffusabIe

the various disputes as to whether
alcohol acts us a food or a fuel for
the system, 1t is a fact proven by
abundance of evidence that spiritu-

qualities when rightly used and that

they are medicines, and not bever-
ages. and belong in the drug shop
and in medicinal compounds and not
in the saloon.
If this Is true then the sale of
alcohol and alcoholic preparations for
these legitimate purposes should not
be hampered. The government per-
mits free manufacture and free sale

hitting free sale, admits that 81
cohol for technical purposes should
not be taxed. But, if it should not
be taxed when used for technical pur-

when used for medical and pharma-

1t is reported that Dr. Francis Day
of India has collected data of several
instances of the migration of fishes by

brought the same message then as
now. He was then, as he is now, the
apostle Of negro independence
through industry, thrift, and self
reliant energy. That was Washing
tons gospel then; that is Washing
tons gospel now. He is no ADLER or
better man today than he was ten
years ago. He is no saner or safer
counselor of his race; he is no truer
friend to the white race
Why this difference in 1910?
Is it due to the softening of race
prejudice by the healing touch of
time? Is there less of friction be-
tween the races in the South today
than there was ten years ago? Is
the problem of the two distinct races
with a spiritual distance between
them of more than three thousand
years-living together-in the same
country, under the same laws, en-
joying the same political and civic
rights and yet as far apart as the
poles;-is this, the greatest prob
lem that ever tried the strength of
any civilization, any nearer solu-
ton now than ten, twenty, thirty
years ago?
What Southern white man be-
lieves it?
Again, I ask, why this marked
difference in the two visits?
You will not find any cleavage
in the views of Booker T. Washing
ton. Look not for it in any evolu-
ton that education has wrought in
the negro. You will search in vain
for it in the gradual drawing to-
gether of the races in the South.
Union was possible when Norman
and Saxon dwelt together on Eng
fish soil-frst as the bitterest of
foes, then as brothers. Both of
those races were white-both Saxon.
How utterly different the case in
the South! The negro is negro in
1910 as surely, and as perfectly, as
he was in 1865; and the Southern
white man is as white as he was
then. His blood is as red; his pride
in race is as keen; his sense of
power is as strong; and his determi-
nation to hold forever, and at all
hazards, the Inheritance left him by
his fathers is as deep-seated as ever.
Once again, how is this wonderful
difference in the external features
of Washington's two visits to At
lanta to be explained?
Listen, men of the South.
That Atlanta ovation to the negro
Washington-With all the noisy hur-
rah by whites, and blowing of brass
horns by the Fifth Regiment Band,
and the introduction of the speaker,
in polished phrase, by leading min
lister of one of the most prominent
white churches in Georgia, is but an
other chapter added to the educa-
tional and social propaganda that is
being insidiously and industriously
exploited by the General Education
Board. 1t is part of the scheme,
originating with certain multi-mil-
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-01-27

&C., sand white people assisted
accompanied, as it was, with a blare
of trumpets, and signalized by an in
troductory speech by one of the most
prominent white preachers in the
country-is calculated to give think
ing Southern men pause.
Such a demonstration in honor of
a negro was impossible-even in At
lanta-a few years ago. 1t had not
been very long since Washington
visited that city upon the invitation
of it's leading negro citizens, for the
purpose Of expounding his views on
the race question. How many white
men heard him then?
At least one obscure citizen of the
State-whose presence in a negro
meeting at which Washington was
the center of attraction would not
have caused ripple on the surface Of
social or political life-decided after
earnest debate with himself, that he
could not defy acknowledged public
opinion in Georgia by attending that
negro meeting, held in the interest Of
negroes though his sole pur-
pose in wishing to do so was to
reach some conclusions as to Wash
ington's real character and mission
as an evangel of negro elevation.
Well-remembered incidents which
marked that occasion prove that
other white men in Georgia-men of
the largest sympathy for the we'll
being of the negro, real friends of
the race-Whose presence would
have drawn wide attention to the
affair, and would have lifted Wash
ington's visit into national promi-
nence-thought discretion the bet
remained away.
On that occasion Washington
spoke the same sentiments-an
with the same frankness and force
that he uttered on his latest visit.
He was as much national figure at
that time as he is now. Before that
visit Andrew Carnegie, who is known
to have coined his millions by mulct-
ing the people Of the whole country
through the operations of the mi
quitous tariff, had endowed Wash
ington's school at Tuskegee with
sums that any struggling white
school in the South would have con-
sidered fabulous. He had gone fur
Their and settled upon Washington
and his family an estate that made
him one of the country's very rich
men.
Unless my memory is terribly at
fault, prior to that former visit by
Washington to Atlanta, he had be-
come frequent caller at the White
House. According to advices pub
lished broadcast over the country, he
controlled the Presidential patron
age of the South. Whom he would
he set up; and whom he would he
cast down. To cap the climax and
lift him to the very pinnacle of
prominence, he had pushed his legs
under the White House mahogany
