that he had no family, but being with

the promise of a weekly wage of Sc.
Anderson, however, did not treat her
right and she decided to return home
after four weeks. She endeavored to
get her wages from Anderson but he
only paid her part so she drew a
check and signed his name to it and
secured $17, with which she paid her
fare home. Anderson invoked the aid
OF the authorities and the girl was
brought back to Alexandria where she
was placed on trial for forgery She
pleaded guilty, not having any one to

case was brought to the notice of the

country with the German, the English,
the Irish, the Scotch, the French, the
Swede, the Norwegian and many
other races of people, and why? It
is not because there are not among
them paupers, for there are. It is
true that among those people in this
country there are drunkards, and an
idle, indolent worthless class; that
they have their criminal class and
that they have committed every crime
known to the criminal calendar, for
their is no crime known to human kind
that has not been committed by the
white man;-but it is because there
is no organized interference, with the
rights and privileges of those people;
no studied restriction of their liber.
ties; no Vardaman, no Tillman, no
Thomas Dixon ct al, whose great aim
in life is to prevent the enjoyment of
their equal rights under the laws of
this land. No attempt to alter the
natural order of things with which
they are concerned. No attempt to in
terfere with the privileges of their
natural course. No attempt to restrict
their right of passage or to change
their channel for selfish purposes.
1t is the utter disregard Of the law
of God and man, and the desire to
change things where the Negroes
rights are involved in this country
that creates the Negro Race Prob
lem.
The solution of the whole problem
involving the white man and the black
man is simple justice, q recognition of
