He Really Did Say.

he says that he is strongly in favor
OF separate cars, separate schools, etc,
and in his report approved of this
segregation, but in his report he said
that" Segregation in the department
OF public service, railways and street
cars, and even cities, may be exceed

nectlon, means possibly" There is
vast difference between saying that
you are Strongly in favor" of some
thing and saying that something "is
possibly right"
he says that the only reason he
mentioned that we have separate
SCHOOLS, separate churches, the
Jim Grow law and the re-
strlctions of the ballot was to point
out the difference in the relation be-
tween the whites and the negroes be-
lore the war and at the present time.
here is what he did say in his report:
The close social contact with the
races has now almost entirely disap.

orally there are no points Of close
social contact whatever where the
TWO races meet and exchange ideas.

black, and that the closing Of the
door of equal opportunity to the negro
must in the end react upon the civil
Zation of the whites? He was not
talking about business separation be-
ca1se he had just adhitted that the
races come in contact in a business
way, but said, despite this fact the
two peoples live and move in totally
different worlds of thought and feel

Brough said:
''The South feels, however. that
race Indignation and solidarity in
social sense are absolutely neceS.
sary to promote the best interest of
both races.
But the doctor reaches his climax
when he said:
''Practically the only cloud on the
horizon Of race adjustment is the
problem Of segregation, but time,
wisdom and patience will solve this
question. Social solidarity is i'll
exOrable."
Now, DR.. Brough, we will not per-
init you to use high sounding words

Clarence Poe, editor of the Progress
sive Farmer says that DR.. Brough's
Commission was organized by gentle
men employed by Northern money to
work for pushing the negroes forward
in the South and it's expenses are paid
by Northern funds. Now, Dr. Brough,
we will not permit you, in order to
please these gentlemen who are pay
ing the freight, to tell them that you
favor social solidarity between the
whites and negroes and then tell us
Southern people that you did not mean
what you said.

report what he now claims he IN

If every man subject to the pay

failing to pay his poll tax, the COM

have been deprived of $750,O00.UO.
DR.. Brough is for. good roads, he
says; yet he paid no road tax. He
is for schools, yet he paid no school
tax. He taught political economy
yet he was derelict in the first prin-
cipal of good citizenship, when he did
not pay poll taxes. He favors more
money for the university, yet he con-

come governor, so six years ago he
began paying poll tax. Within two
years after he began paying his poll
tax, he was known all over the state
to be candidate for governor.

Continuing his report. Dr. Brough

portance for both white and black.
The closing OF the door Of equal op.
pcrtunity to the negro and his per-
Sistent intellectual and moral pauperi-
cation must in the end react upon the
civilization OF the white.''
Who Is Ray Stanard Baker,
From Whom DR.. Brough
Quotes Approvingly?
Soon after the people of Atlanta
and Brownsville, Texas, hung few
negroes in 1906, for butchering, out
raging and numbering women and
children, Baker wrote series of ar
ticles which appeared in the American
and McClure's Magazines and which
were afterward printed in book form
and entitled, Following the Color
Line" 1t is from this book that DR..
Brough quoted, for the purpose of ex-
pressing his views on segregation.
Brough's whole report shows that he
is close student and follower of Ray
Stanard Baker. l wish every man,
woman and child in Arkansas could
have the opportunity to read Bakers
book and compare it with Brough's
report and see for themselves how
much of his report is borrowed liter
ally from Baker. Baker comes from
the North, reared and educated there,
and tramped into this country with
all the bitter hatred for it of which
his soul is capable.
In order that you may know more OF
this man who DR.. Brough says Estates
the situation admira bly," as to segre-
cation, will quote some paragraphs
from his book.
Baker says: Zone of the best known
negro professors in this country has

where they lived under almost
ideal surroundings mulatto doctor
Of Southern town married white
girl who was a graduate of Wellesley
College; they had trouble in the South
and have "gone over to whites" and
are now living in the North. In the
great majority OF intermarriages, the
white women belong to the lower
walks of life, such as Germans, Irish
and other foreign women-respectable,
but ignorant. AS far as can see from
investigating a number of such cases.
the home life is as happy as that of
other people in the same stratum of
life"
DR. .Brough should be ashames to
have quoted a single sentence from a
man who would SANDER the German
and Irish women of this country.
If DR.. Brough is strongly in favor OF
race segregation, why did he say that
the segregation of the races is one
of the chief causes of the growing
danger of the Southern situation?
Why did he say that the effect OF the
social isolation of the negro is of the

whole race? God pity the Southern
Christian, the Southern churches and
the Southern states if we do not
awake to our responsibility in this
hour Of opportunity"
DR.. Brough says that he is nat in
favor Of negroes serving on jurics:
that the only reason he mentioned the
fact that they do serve on juries in
some of the Southern states was
merely to report what his commission
had found in it's investigation.
Here is what he did say:
"That problems OF race adjust
ment are becoming less acute may
be seen from the fact that lynchng
had decreased from 107 in 1900 to
II in 1913: that negroes frequently
serve Oh iuries in the Southern
states, * s. -
He did not mention the fact that
negroes serve on juries simply to re-
port something that he had learned
in his investigation, but his own Ian
guage proves that he mentioned this
fact as showing silver lining to the
black cloud that he says is hanging
over his beloved negroes of the South.
DIR. Brough completely backs down
on his antagonism to the kind OF rur-
al segregation proposed by Clarence
Poe, and tries to excuse himself by
saving that the time he made his re-
port he did not understand Mr.. Poe's
position.

When | criticised his views as ex-
pressed by him, l quoted his exact

History of Brough's Ap-
pointment on the Commits
sion.
Dr. Brough would have you believe
that the Commission was composed
entirely of men of true Southern
ideals, and that his appointment as
chairman by James H. billiard was a
signal honor to him. billiard did ap-
point him, but Booker T. Washington
appointed billiard. About the year
1907 the "Jeanes Fund Board" was
organized by Booker Washington of
Tuskegee, Alabama, and H. B. Frissell
of Hampton Institute, James H. billiard
was appointed president and a negro,
R. R. Morton, of Hampton Institute,
was appointed secretary of the board.
Other negroes appointed as members
of this board were r. D. Smith of
Paris, Texas: J. c. Napier of Nash
vile, Tennessee, and Bishop Abraham
Grant of Kansas. Thus it will be seen
that the board over which billiard
presided, and the negro Morton acting
as secretary, is the real father OF the
commission on the Southern Race
Question of which DR.. Brough acted as
chairman and to which he made his
famous report

that never before has there been such
difficulty in making the decisions.
OF such general interest are these
