presiding at the conference referred to.
The fear that now seems to pre-
vail, in the South over the negro's
home coming after the war, is, in my
opinion, equally without foundation.
This is the negros natural home and
here the masses of the race will con-
tinue to reside, it is to be hoped, for
many years, in peace and profitable
industry.
BENEFITED BY WAR.
The returning negro soldier will
not be the foul wretch from which
to shrink in terror, or plague from
which to fee in fear, as some seem
to think, He will return both physic-
ally and mentally benefited by reason
of his military training and experience
during the Great War and, naturally,
he will return to the Southland and
other sections with broader vision
and appreciation of American citizen
ship, as well as with new ideas Of
what liberty and freedom mot license)
really mean. He has clearly shown
his eager willingness to discharge the
duties and responsibilities of Ameri-
can citizenship, and it is devoutly
hoped that fair-minded Americans in
all parts of the country will calmly
and justly recognize the fact that he
is, therefore, entitled to all of the
rights and privileges which the laws
of our country offer to all other
classes of our common citizenship.
Primarily the negro is the means
by which the people of the Golden
Southland are nourished and
strengthened through his diligent eff
forts to coax out Of the ground life
sustaining food products. According
to the last official censuse, negro farm
ers in the South numbered S93,370,
constituting IA per cent Of the total
number OF farmers of all classes in
the country as a whole, while in point
of population the negro race consti-
tuted but 1917 per cent. of the total
population of the United States.
The negro is the greatest labor
factor in the South His loyalty and
patriotism remain unquestioned. A
race composed of such people cannot
be other than an asset. 1t is true
that here and there the undesirable
and criminal abound, as in all races
YOU will find them, but the sane law
abiding, industrious negro is legion,
and millions of them have justly earn
ed the respect of their various
communities.

Have no fears that when these
soldiers to whom l have referred re-
turn from the war, having aided in
their country's triumph, that they will,
overnight as it were, become a men
ace to public peace and order. The
negro soldier will return better cit
izen because he has learned the value
of discipline He has improped in
health and has a knowledge of what
to avoid, and what to do in order to
maintain and stimulate healthy mind
and body 1t may be safely assumed
that his heretofore abnormally high
sick and death rate will be lowered,
and this, incidentally, will mean much
for our Southern communities.

referred to and rightly discouraged
