AM NOT IN FAVOR OF NEGROES
SERVING ON. JURlEs IN THE
SOUTHERN STATES.
In the report mentioned. | stated as
fact that in some Southern States
negroes serve on iuries This state
ment is true and was only stated as a
part Of the investigation by this COM
mission of conditions. There was not
q statement or intimation anywhere
in this report that was in favor, of
: negroes serving on juries, or in favor
Of negroes being employed in the gov
eminent service. Mr.. Hodges stands
alone in drawing this conclusion
-. |, AM IN HARMONY WITH SOUTH
ERN FARMERS AND KNOW THEIR
NEEDS.

| stated in this report that, "'Ehe
segregation OF the races in the DEPART
ment Of public service, railway and
street cars and in cities, may be OK
ceedinsly just, but the. idea of their
segregation, giving the white man the
advantage in agricultural and indus
trial competition was a travesty upon
Anglo-Saxon superiority and an in
Justice to the negro"
The progressive Farmer" that Mr.
Hodges refers to, is edited by Clar-
ence Poe, and his position, as under
stood it at the time l made this adj
dress, was that no negroes should be
permitted to work on a white mans
land, and no negro should own
farm in the vicinity where white
man lived. After this address was
written it seems Mr. Poe made his
position clear. by advocating rural
communities that wished to remain
white to keep themselves white. In
other words voluntary white segre-
cation by neighborhood, and no one
ever disputed this position. But I
stated and l believe that the white
iiieiH Heeu nave no lear or the negro
farmer being successful competitor,
because of the Anglo-Saxon superior
ity, and | believe that every other
white man of the South is of this
opinion, unless it be Mr.. Hodges Ag-
ricultural segregation would mean
separation of the whites and blacks
in agricultural districts. the whites
to occupy one district and the blacks
another, and each to do his own farm
ing This would be destructive of the
agricultural interests of the South
The negro farming alone without the
assistance of the white man would be
failure, and would become charge
upon and menace to society, and
the white man without the negro to
do the labor in the cotton fields of the
South would be injured They are de-
pendent one upon the other, the negro

the future will be what the white man
makes him. ! pointed out that the
negro is here to stay and that this
condition confronts the people of the
South that they can and must deal
with him, and that the burden is laid
upon us to make better citizen Of
him and to cause him to render more
efficient service to the white man by
encouraging him to labor and not
loaf; by encouraging him to cultivate
his moral nature instead Of degrading
= it. l further said that the white man
should for his own welfare and Sc
curity, take this interest in the negro.
for no other reason than for the
good that might result to US. - y
l NEVER FAVORED NEGROES
HOLDING POLITICAL POSITIONS IN
THE. SOUTH. :.
In this report quoted the statistics
taken from the United States Govern
ment report showing how MANY ne
sgroes are employed by the Omitted
States Government. This report was
made to include the whole question.
the whole condition of the negro. and
because i stated it was fact from
statistics, that there were many ne
Eroes in the employ of the Federal
Government and holding political posi-
tons. Mr. Hodges charges that | am
in favor of negroes holding political
positions in the South. This charge is
unfounded, and is contrary to what l
have advocated all my life. Y.
NEWER CRITICISED THE
SOUTHERN CHURCH PEOPLE AS
MR. HODGES CHARGES.
In this report, | stated that the
churches of the South were not con-
trlbutlng their share to uplift the
morality of the members Of the weak
er race. Thousands and thousands of
dollars were sent annually by every
church organization in the United
States to the mission fields of Africa
to lead the benighted people into
paths of light and truth. With the
same object in view, that is, the moral
uplift of the South, Southern
Churches have been contributing
small amounts from year to year.
stated. this amount was insufficient to
discharge the responsibility undertake
EN- by the Southern churches. This
statement is fact. known and ap-
preciated by the churches of the
South, who have undertaken this
work, and l do believe that it would
be better to try to improve our own
condition by helping the Negroes con-
dition here, rather than spending so
much money in Africa and so little at
home. And no man can claim from
this that l severely criticised the
Southern church people.

southern mother, | would have be-
come social outcast and renegade.
The one statement | made in tina, re-
port, which Mr.. Hodges could have
correctly used, is, as follows:
"lie who is instrumental in settling
thc race question deserves more at the
hands of his fellow man than the
whole race of demagogucs put to-
gethcr."
Other Measurements of Ar. Hodges.
The people OF this state when they
read and hear what Mr.. Hodges has
to say about me, should bear in mind
that his statements are in keeping
with the conduct of a public official
who is afraid for his books to be aud
tied. man who has boosted that he
is the machine candidate for governor
In number of places in this state.
he has charged that have invested
the money ] have saved since coming
to Arkansas in Utah; that is false.
In othen places, he has said that |
was member of the Mormon church;
that IS false and of course he knows
it. In still another place, he stated,
according to the statements of trust
worthy men, that | was a Mormon
elder and preached in Mormon
churches. That statement was false
and he knew it was false at the time
he uttered it.
In other places, so have been told.
he stated that my father was colonel
in a negro regiment. That statement
he denies making.
In other places, he claimed my
father was a carpet Dagger; that
statement was false.
With reference to his own record,
Mr.. Hodges has stated in Some places
in this state, so | am informed, that
he has never deposited the states
money in his own banking account
That statement is false.
From every hamlet and township
in this state comes the report of some
misstatement that Mr.. Hodges has
made, and now at last, in his despera-
ton, he puts out what he terms his
Negro Circular" hoping, at this late
day, to stem his fast ebbing political
tide. 1t will soon be time for you to
say by your vote which of us deserves
more at the hand of his fellow man;
whether l should be cut down in my
fight for clean, honest and intelligent
politics, or whether there will be
continuance of complete machine rule.
1t is gratifying that Mr.. Hodges. in
all his outrageous attacks, cannot and
does not assail my moral character.
my honesty, my Democracy or my
ability to make you a clean and eff
cient governor / have confidence in
your judgment

His Ridiculous Social Equality
Charge"
MIR. Hodges takes simple and very
innocent sentence from the report Of
the commission and declares it means
. that | favor social equality He bases
this ridiculous and outrageous charge,
on the phrase social solidarity is in
eNorable.' The sentence without that
which precedes it and that which fol-
lows it, means but little. What the
report really conveyed was that the
negro is here to stay; that with his
hetterment comes our betterment;
that is, il we expect to better our
selves, we must better him.
In this report, ] offered remedies to
prevent the increase of crime, vagran-
cy, disease and Ignorance among the
negroes. The white man must find a
remedy, il we expect T to make our
country attain it's manifest destiny
TO withdraw from the negro the guild
ing hand of the white man would be
to shirl1 our duty and make the ne
gro a stumbling block in the white
mans pathway to prosperity in the
South
THE COMMISSION WAS COMPOS-
ED OF SOUTHERN MEN.
Every member of this commission
was member OF the faculty of a
Southern University; they were men
OF culture and Intelligence and men
capable of understanding and appre-
clatlng the race question.
defy any just man to take the re-
port made by this commission and
draw any such conclusions as Mr.
Hodges has drawn. Every member
of that commission believed in sepa-
rate schools, separate churches and
separate cars for whites and blacks;
every member of that commission was
and is opposed to negroes holding po-
litlcal positions in the South, and
opposed to negroes serving on juries
every member of that commission was
and is in harmony with the Southern
farmers and opposed to social equal
ity.
In his attack on me, growing out of
this report Mr.. Hodges has misstated
my position and without any evidence
upon which to base his msstatements;
he has done it for>tfe purpose of mis-
leading and deceiving, and if one word
of 1t had. been true it would certainly
have been known long before this and
| would have been compelled to resign

There Is a rare mine of interesting

met by pointing out that they still pay
less than foreigners, and that the

Tin Cen or Canteen7

Popular etymology is always moro
interesting than the learned explana-
tions of philologiSts. For instance,
take the barrack-room derivation Of
the word "canteen." 1t is no use try
ing to convince Tommy Atkins that it
comes from the Italian "cantina," a
small cellar. He has his own deriva-
tion, which he finds quite satisfactory.
"Canteen" is simply ''tin can" said
backwards. To justify this theory he
simply invites one to look around. Ger
tainly tin enters largely into the uten'
sils and furnishing of the average can
teen. The drinking vessels are tin, the
counter is tin, and in many cases the
tables also are covered with block tin.
No wonder Tommy holds that the word
has some connection with the metal
that is so much in evidence.
