The North And The Race
Question.


ped the erst while champion
James Jeffries, is exactly wba,
it was thought it would IL
and the chances are that Jack
johnson will remain The
champion prize fighter of the
world so far as prize fighting
IN the United States is con.
cerned.
Aside from the fact that a
white man who goes into the
ring with negro is not to be
considered as good as a negro
and should be classed even
lower than the sons of Ham.
the fight demonstrates one
great thing and that is that
race question, about which
we here our Northern brethr
en- talk SO much is a matter
that does not concern the
South anything like as much
as it involves the North. Up
there where they have been
accustomed to talk SO know
ingly about the race question
in the South they areconfront
ed with facts that stagger
them into the realization that
it is not the South that has
any race question to solve,
but that it is the North itself.
They are beginning to real
ize that the Southern view isl
is the one true and correct
view, and that the Southern
policy is the one true and cor
rect policy in dealing with |
the negro. It is hard for them
to reverse themselves and
their doctrines in the border
and Northern States, but !
they are being driven to it |
even more rapidly than many |
people in the South realize.
The riots that followed the
fight and the Staying that has
been and will be done as a
result of the fight will serve
AZ additional evidence to ne
1essitate the keeping of the
eyes Of our Northern brethr-
IN closer home, and also dem
On strate effectively the wis
ION Of the Southern policy
IN dealing with the negro.
The Southern people are
1nauestionabIy the negro's
best friends, but they have
learned in the school Of ex
oerience what measures
would bring about the great
.at numbers. The result OF
his has been that there is
.eaIIy no race question in the
south at all, but that the
ace questioYhas shifted to
he North where slowly per-
laps, but surely, it will find
. like solution In the end. -

Charges that the National Grange, Pat

clique Of standpatters who are attempt
ing to throttle progressive Legislation
and are discrediting, betraying and de-
feating a strong constructive leadership
and using the funds of the organizat ton
recklessly, were made at the first ses-
sion Of the powerful farmers organiza-
tion here today.
NJ s, Godfrey of Olean, n. Y, de-
clared that George p. Hampton of New
York and J. w. Helme of Adrian, Mich,
the recognized leaders OF the insurgents
in the organization, had caused TO be
printed articles attacking the integrity of
the grange and its leaders.
The insurgents claim the present ad-
ministratlon retains its power because
of the number of their followers This,
they say, demonstrates that a state with
a membership Of 10000, as Pennsylvania
has, should be given representation in
proportion, which would allow insurgents
to take control from the standpatters.
who, the insurgents claim are backed
by western states, whose membership is
still in the hundreds. but who are enti-
tied to equal vote on the questions to
be discussed by the convention.
