THE ONLY SOLUTION.

Recently 1t the Church of England
Congress at Southampton. Sir Sidney
Olivier. who was governor Of jamaica
from 19o7! to the end Of 1912, put for
ward the claim that no solution OF the
American color question was possible
except by q resolute disclaimer of tho
color line and the race differention
theory. y<-s--,>..:
Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows
what he Is talking about. In the
Island Of Jamaica, where he was gov.
ernor for i've years, there are about
100000 colored people and only 10000
whites and yet there is absolutely no
friction between the races. Jamaica
Is British colony and the govern
ment Is just, Colored men enjoy ev-
cry civil and political right which
white men have and there is no color
line. ~ , = -
