and generally is the dynamic and the creative
orator of public opinion.
The President of States, Mr. Woodrow Wilson,

into the unaveed of the American mind The Pre
dent has attempted formulate public opinion favor of in
of Nations, against labor
disorders and Strikes against anarchy and destructive forces
such boshevsm W. Wism, against the high of
living, Irish slavery against the Armenian and Polish
Jews He has made against these
evils in chronological order He has vented his spleen against
these evls unique and English that evidence of
renchant pen yielded by the guiding hand of arch
His work has been Ua Public
opinion has created in favor what Mr. Wilson advocates
and public opinion has been created against that which Mr.
Wilson condemned Woodrow Wilson dynamo of public
opinion His word has the effect of rocking the
of American structure his word vbraes and revbrates
the and around the world Woodrow Wilson's word has
been called the word of the teemng American millions His
word the heart Civilization and unless his word
heard and obyed is eloqueny stated that the Heart of the
World will be broken What Mr.. Wilson has said has been
recorded the of History What Mr. Wilson should

surely his virtues ,Oi be counted for him. Mr. Woodrow
Wilson taken open stand against the
of Negroes He has taken militant stand mob
ynchings He open against
the segregation and political slavery of 100000
He has attempted opinion favor of the
900 colored citizens of America. In other ords great

in regard the Negro swayed by all kinds of orce the
srcve and evil ripple of Southern hatred has become Tidal
of The
free and the home of the brave The blood of the American
Negro that has been spilled because of
of America of sufficient proportions crimson brighter
red the rudy of the Mississippi River, and if the dead
should be piled the height would with the highest
peaks in the world This really problem The world
knows it, America knows it and Mr. Woodrow Wilson knows it.
Then why Mr. Wilson, the apostle of democracy in his
eptes America and the world failed voice the militant
sentments Why has he allowed public opinion
and play havoc in America? We will anayze and
reach answer by the method of the Residue
Mr. Wilson failed reasons IN He
has constitutional antipathy and hatred for Negroes; (2) the
Negro problem of sufficient Weight and gravity; go the
political of the situation Dould make fatal to his ol
cal aspirations and injurious to his party.
A. to reason a. we do believe that of Mr. Will
intelligence and education could regousy hate whole
of humble crushed and bruised citizens is unhnkabe
anachronistic incompatible with the ideals that Mr.
Wilson has fostered and nurured We will dismiss number D
because it contrary and reprehensble to sound thinking
