SEN. BORAH REGARDS
RACE QUESTION AS
NEMESIS OF OUR LIFE
(By Associated Negro Pregs)

MACON, Ca, July 21.-In his speech
opposing taking the control of fran
cnise from the states and placing it
under federal supervision, Senator
Borah had this to say on the Negro
feature of the Susan B. Anthony
amendment:
To be entirely frank, do not think
we ought to force this situation. l be-
lieve that the wiser and the better
solution of the race question runs
along different lines. ] certainly want
to see the Negro secure justice, but
realize, and every sane man realizes,
that you cannot force Colored rule
upon the South. 1t will bring renewed
racial warfare, which in the end will
be vastly more injurious to the Col
ored Race than to the white race, and
heaven knows it would be bad enough
for either. think it infinitely better
that we leave the situation to be dealt
with through the several states than
to undertake to force rule which is,
not acceptable
Il regard the Race question as the
Nemesis of American life. | sympa-
thize deeply with the people upon
whom falls most heavily the burden
OF solving it. Sphinxlike, inscrutable
and intractable it intrudes itself at
every national feast and jubilee
There is no phase of national life, no
outlook but is colored by the sinister
shadow of this problem. We of the
North can afford to take counsel upon
this matter We can afford to listen
to the requests of our Southern
friends. We ourselves are not with
out faults. AS | have just said, look
at East St Louis, within the grand old
commonwealth whose soil holds the
sacred ashes of the Emancipator, the
nan who gave the Negro his freedom.
Talk about enfranchising 100000 Ne
gro women, of widening the political
power of the Negro of the South, when
we massacre him, shoot him down like
a dog, burn him as we would mani
mate rubbish, merely because he ap-
pears in our midst as a laborer We
will not even endure him as a com
petitor in the field of industry. Let
us see if we cannot first do Justice to
thiC ward Of OurS thic Race amopo nc
by no volition of his own, this Race
which sheds its blood for the republic
when the republic is in peril. Let us,
| say, first do justice to the Negro in
the industrial world that he may edu-
cate and train his children for the du-
ties of citizenship, then we shall be
much nearer final solution of the
Race question"
