NEGRO QUESTION RAISED
UNITED STATES SENATE SCENE
OF SHORT TILT.
Vardaman Contends That Negro's
Best Friends Are Southerners Who
Are Willing to Help Them.

An amendment by Senator Jones,
of Washington, to the agricultural
extension bill which will insure to
the negroes of the South a portion Of
the fund proposed for farm demon
stration work led to sharp debates in
the United Senate Thursday over the
racial question. Senator Jones for ov-
er three hours defended the principle
of his amendment, which was left
pending when the senate adjourned.
Senators Hoke Smith Of Georgia
and Vardaman Of Mississippi con-
tended that the administration Of the
appropriation should be left in the
hands Of the white man who would
"do more for the negro than the ne
gro could do for himself" Senator
Jones had not proceeded far with his
argument that the negro should be al
lowed to handle part Of the funds
from the federal treasury before Sen
ator Vardaman suggested he had
'tbetter take few days off and study
the question"
When Senator Jones said he was
speaking from the results Of his in
vestigation Of the question, Senator
Vardaman replied: "Then the senator
is speaking from the profundity Of
his misinformation." He also wanted
to know if Senator Jones would be
willing to allow the Japanese to share
in the administration Of the fund al
lotted to the Pacific States.
Eyes, if the Japanese were citizens,
but they are not" was the emphatic
reply.
"Well, you will admit" continued
Senator Vardaman, "that the Japan
ese, in all the elements that go to
make up the man, IS superior to the
negro?" "No, do not admit that,
declared Senator Jones, and Senator
Vardaman sat down, remarking: II
can't argue with that kind of a man"
He was on his feet again, however,
when Senator Jones a few minutes
later mentioned the progress Of the
negroes. "Their progress has been
due to what the white man has
taught them," insisted the Mississippi
senator. "And let me say that myself
and the other white men Of the South
would do more to preserve the ne
gro's lie, liberty and pursuit of hap
piness than others far away who love
them as a race and would let them
starve at their gates" Applause from
the spectators at his point caused
Senator Thompson, in the chair, to
threaten to clear the galleries.
The ire of Senator Martin of Vir-
ginia was aroused when Senator
Jones read a paper he recently had
prepared on the advance of the ne-l
gro race. He pictured the negro COM,
ing out of the War of Secession in a
state of oppression and poverty. Sen
ator Martin challenged every state
ment as inaccurate, asserting that the
negro would be great deal better of
il the South were left to handle the
question under the plan it had pur-
sued than if those who from far OF
sought to meddle in the problem.
