JUDGE JOHN w. JUDD.
itself Judge Judd says there is no longer
| q negro problem.
/ There arc two prime reasons for this.
he said The first Is that VIC educate
the negroes In our schools and colleges
and as soon they get an education
they go north. where they ind better
dustry, and-they believe-in a social way
which they don't. AS a matter OF fact
the people OF the north Will lynch Grim
innl negro more quickly than the people
of the south ever would And they are
not satisfied with lynclling the one negro
they want TO clean oct the whole negro
negro tho right OF life. liberty and the
pursuit of happiness. But we deny him

| to govern.
"The second great factor in the solution
of the negro problem has been the lesson
| taught by the territorial acquisition of
! the Philippines and Porto Rico. The peo-
pie see what is going on with respect to
| these two possessions and they are Will

Liquor Problem Serious.
"The liquor situation In Tennessee Is
very grave" said Mr.. Judd. Indeed. 1T
is dcplorable We are In worse shape
there than you are here with your own
! big local question. II is not the liquor
question as a liauor question that is TO
blame: 1t is making political question
not believe In that principle of govern
ment But II was the saloon that drove
many Of us to vote for prohibition be-
cnuse that seemed 10 be the only means
of putting the saloon out OF control of

that provides for statewide prohibition.

wide open In utter defiance OF the law.

to prevail along the fortv-hrst parallel

| There arc doubtless n large number
OF cnuses for the lack Of business conf

extravaEance, the criminal. the sinful eA-
