Pr0blemOfT The
Solid South

discloses an amazing disparity. But
the problem is not one to be dealt
with on a basis of detached statistics.
We may easily be misled into a grave
injustice to the South if we confine
ourselves to the mere figures. Inc
present generation is not responsible
for the conditions that burden it with
vast number of illiterate colored cit
liens The enlightened white popula-
ton of the South is generously and
vigorously moving to meet this situa-
tion It's work has not been made
easier by the manner in which the
Republican party has exploited the il
literate colored vote in the past. If
the Republican party now uses the
disfranchised colored vote as means
for reducing the South to political in
effectiveness nationally, it will make
the solid South permanent and it will
make it discontented and rebellious.
We hope the ProgressiveRepubli-
can element of the party will not be
persuaded to follow this mischievous
leadership. In it, we trust, will be
found clearer apprehension of the
problem. 1t is for it to labor so that
there may be created second ma
tional party which can command the
respect and confidence of southern
intelligence. There must be an end
of using the Negro as a party asset.
There must be broad and worthy ap-
real to the Americanism of the
South. Thus only, slowly and yet
surely, will prejudice be overcome

AFRO-AMERICAN is NUMEROUS
IN LIVERPOOL.

Liverpool, Nov.-Liverpool is be-
coming conscious of a remarkable
growth in it's black population. The
colored people are coming from the
west coast of Africa and from Amer
lea. A striking feature of the inva-
sion is that the blacks so numerous on
the city streets generally are arrayed
in garments of the latest cuts and
hues. The color schemes usually are
rather loud, those from Africa vieing
with those from the United States in
a riot of checks, stripes, vivid neck
ties, lurid hose and bright yellow
shoes.
At first this invasion puzzled the
authorities here, but little investiga-
tion tended to solve at least part of
the mystery The bulk of the race,
it seems, have been recruited on the
west coast to work as firemen on
steamers whose white crews presum
war. They are not all seafarers, how
ever, for many appear to have signed
for one trip only and have obtained
employment here in the short-handed
factories at lucrative wages. This is
particularly true of the American col
ored men, many of whom have come
over as muleteers or other workers
on ships in the American trade.
The West Africans speak English,
of course, but not very fluently. The
American Negroes being quite glib of
tongue are more interesting to the
Liverpool street crowds The Ameri-
can blacks do not go to all the ex-
tremes of dresS affected by the Afri-
cans, who in their new-found wealth
and European surroundings have
proved profitable customers to the
cheaper class tailor.

fulness. Unable to get youngsters to
act as office boys as formerly many
of whom have dropped out of the of
fices and gone back to school, many
firms, especially in the large office
buildings, have turned to Colored and
white men who have been practically
thrown into the discard
Representatives of the concerns de-
clare that they would not return to
former conditions if the market was
crowded with office boys seeking
work. Said one;
Il find that colored men are more
polite, willing and serious than are the
majority of younger boys today" de-
clared one employer. THE Colored
men realize that they are occupying
minor positions and stay in their
places. Yes, have to pay them more,
but the results prove that the extra
expenditure is well worth while Visi-
tors have commented on the able man.
ner in which their wants have been
looked after by my colored help"
An employer who has several aged
men working for him said he was sat
isfied with their services. No longer
bothered with boys who do not take
to business seriously; by lads who
shirk their work, by youngsters who
are not reliable. This man had six
office boys whom he paid 81 a week
each. He has now three men, each
getting S12 per week, who accomp-
lish the same amount of work in less
time.

WANTS BIRTH RECORDS .
CAREFULLY RECORDED

Louisville, Ly. w. L. Heiser,
state register of vital statistics
for Kentucky, is afraid that
many whites will marry persons
who have Negro blood in their
veins unless the registry of births
is made more carefully. He
spoke before a gathering of city
and county health officers here a
few days ago, and said that num-
bers of quadroons cannot be dis
tinguished from white persons,
which constitutes real peril to
Kentucky.
For the protection of future
white generations he said the
local registrars should observe
the greatest care in accurately
fixing the racial status of chill
dren when registered. Said he,
"Our grandchildren and great
grandchildren will be marrying
persons having Negro blood in
their veins unless Negro births
are registered with greater care. !"

Judge Francis d. Winston, of
North Carolina, offered a resolu-
ton which would place the con-
gress on record as believing that
''the complete industrial, intel
lectual and social development of
the Southern states can be Sc
cure only when the Negro race
becomes part of the citizenship
of our sister states, and that we
will encourage all movements
tending to an equitable distribu-
ton of our Negro population

(The Rocky Mountain News, Dec. 23)
The spirit of revenge rather than
the wisdom of craftsmanship is evil
dent in the proposals now being dis
cussed among Republicans at Wash
ington for solving the problem of the
solid South.
The sting of defeat still rankles in
the breast of the old guard, and a
pencil and pad of paper are its only
requisites for complete demonstra-
ton that the old, reliable southern
vote was the foundation of Demo.
cratic victory. Eliminating the south
ern tier of states, Hughes had an cleo
toral college majority of lis and
popular plurality of $4,000. So they
figure it, and, having figured it thus,
they proceed to plans for eliminating
done lawfully.
OF course, the ground for action lies
in the prior fact that the South in
large measure eliminates the Negro
proposal to reduce southern represen-
tation in Congress and the electoral
college in proportion to the number
of votes deprived of the ballot. 1t is
estimated that should this be done
the South would lose from fifty to
eighty members of Congress and
like number of votes in the electoral
college.
Now, it must be admitted that there
is some justice in the proposal and
that it finds support in the constitu
ton. But, having said SO much, we
have said all there is to say in it's
behalf And there is more to be said
against it.
The proposal has this conspicuous
ly Objectionable feature: 1t is de-
signed primarily, as a measure of aid
to the Republican party rather than
as means of ending a condition
which is detrimental to the South and
contrary to the interests of the whole
country.
However important it may be in the
thought of some of our politicians
that the Republican party should be
insured majority, we conceive it to
be of greater Importance that the
South should be converted to ma
tional viewpoint and delivered from
the narrowing and retarding influ-
Cnce of sectionalism.
A remedy that ignores the causes
of the disease and proposes merely
to make the sufferer less annoying by
knocking him over the head is not
remedy that men of genuinely patri-
otic spirit can approve.
A punitive reduction of southern
representation will not tend to de-
crease southern prejudice; it will not
encourage the intelligent white vote
of the South to think in national
rather than in sectional terms; 1t
will, on the contrary, intensity every
devisive feeling and tendency,
strengthen sectionalism and postpone
indefinitely the happier solution OF
the problem which we may hope to
see gradually reached by the fading
out of painful memories, the allaying
of suspicion and the multiplying of
commercial, social and cultural ties
between North and South.

Boston, Mass. That the pre-
sent European war is the result
of the selfish desire of the fight
ing nations to gobbleup the whole
of Africa was asserted by w. E.
Burghardt Dubois, in an address
on ''The World Problem of the
Color Line" at the Newton South
Forum Sunday, Nov. 26th. 1.-The
rights of the blacks throughout
the world must be recognized, !"
he declared, "and if they are not,
such conflicts will go on because
of arrogance and selfshness of
the world powers in their desires
to gain the laid of the black mans
home in Africa" The present
war the speaker said, was the re-
suit of desire to control the Af-
rican veldt a desire to exploit the
African race and but for the eag-
erness of European rulers to Sc
cure control of the land in the
Dark Continent there would have
been no war.
