VOTE IN GEORGIA MAY PROVE
BIG FACTOR

Atlanta. Ga, Aug. 21.-The coming
elections in this state have caused
much worry to the Georgian whites,
because the question of the Negro
voters was brought into the fight. An
Atlanta paper had the following to
say: -
The Constitutions Estimate of the
Negro.
The legislature who votes for throw
ing the whole state of Georgia into n
whirlpool of the kind proposed, upon
the eve of the national election of 1920,
will be assuming fearful responsible
ity!
A contest of the sort contemplated
by this capital removal measure would
enfranchise every adult Negro in
Georgia.
1t would send to the voting booth
the irresponsible driftwood and the
floating derelicts in the state, who for
wears have been disfranchised by their
failure to pay taxes.
Each side would naturally go out
after the biggest vote it could muster ;
and the result would be that every
possible Negro voter and every former
ly non-taxpaying irresponsible white
man would be made eligible, and voted,
the consequence of which would be
that the Negroes would be found hold
ing the balance of political power in
the state!
And the melee that would follow,
with the Negroes in the majority in
many South Georgia counties-which'

SOME FACTS GIVEN TO

and economic life, and will always be
wanting and defective in its strength
so long as the Negro is denied equal
opportunity to develop along these
lines. His demands in this direction
are just and equitable. He has won
with his blood and Drawn every right
he claims and for which he contends.
The foundation of this nations wealth
was born of his labor. No soldier in
the last, as well as previous wars in
which this country participated, was
more brave than the Negro nor More
willing to make the supreme sacrifice
quired to live up to all other require
ments of citizenship the same as other
men. He oversubscribed his quota of
war bond issues. Then why should he
be asked or expected be satisfied
with less in the way of rights, privi-
leges and immunities than are freely
accorded other races and peoples? The
Negro in this country is purely an
American product, and, thus far, is
poor Socialist and no Bolshevist at all.
He has no other fatherland to which
he feels he owes and gives large part
of his allegiance, while at the same
time claiming American citizenship.
And if America would give better IA
cilities and opportunities to the Negro
s,, tlA rt.in tr1 n n
hood and citizenship it would prove
better investment than throwing our
doors open to disgruntled elements
from Europe, who oppose all forms of
organized government. Yet we foolish
ly believe these aliens can be made
first-water Americans by their going
through the prescribed form of natur-
alization but they, in fact, while fill
ing their pockets with American gold,
form secret plots and spread propagan-
da that is inimical to American insti-
tutions, and eats like cancer into the
very heart of our national existence.
Commission a Farce.
Governor Lowden having failed to
have the Legislature at its last session
pass a bill providing for ''race com
mission" to study race problems, now
proposes to appoint such commission
himself There is no need of any such
commission. An impartial enforcement
of the existing laws is all that is nee
essary, and will do more than a dozen
commissions. Whenever public Off
cial falls down in the performance OF
his duty in a crisis, he takes refuge in
the formation of q commission, which
does nothing more than spend lot
of public money and act as cushion
between said official and the public's
wrath. No issue is settled until it is
settled right. The Negro question is
looming up larger each day, and any
settlement that is predicated upon self
ishness and prejudice will not stand.
He is not and never will consent to be-
come q ward of the nation, but,
through education and thrift, aspires to
the full enjoyment of citizenship in a
nation and a civilization amid which

um HE recent ract riots IN our
city have occasioned many eX-
pressions from Qitizehs through
the press, stating the cause
- which Tin their opinions) leads
up to these racial outbreaks.
Some of the remedies suggested were
Pigments of prejudiced minds, while
others were more reasonable and sane.
No permanent good can result from
quick, ill-tempered and impassioned de-
cisions, but the subject must be ap-
preached with careful and measured
steps and with an open, unprejudiced
mind which comprehends the subject
matter in all of its ramification. To
no one cause can be attributed these
riots, which have become national in
, their scope, but rather they result from
confluence of causes, which are in
the main racial, economic, industrial,
social and political.
Whites Must Change.
First, it must be remembered that
the change in the industrial and educa-
tional life of the Negro imposes upon
the white man the duty of modifying
his former attitude and treatment of
the Negro. These new developments in
the Negroes life in the twentieth cen
fury cannot be met and handled sue
cessfulIy by eighteenth century meth
DDS, ideas and prejudices. There must
be a wholesome recognition and ac-
conditions
that there is new Negro to deal with;
that the old hat-in-hand, yes-sir-boss
type is thing of the past in this sec
ton of the country. The new, intelli-
gent Negro leadership thinks in terms
of immediate and consequent results
in all matters affecting him and his re-
lation with the white man, and teaches
industry, thrift and economy, and not
social equality, which is matter that
experience has'taught yields not TO leg
islative nor mob regulation, and If let
alone will adjust itself.
Much has been said about Segrega-
tion and forcing the Negro to live with
in certain territorial limits. The peace
and harmony between the races that
is desired by the thoughtful and tenn
perate minds in both races cannot be
promoted and realized through the me
dium of segregation. Segregation Will
only add fuel to the already raging
flames of race prejudice and result in
emphasizing racial differences. Con
tact such as will result in better re-
lation of neighborlmess and under
standing between the races, is what is
needed.
Living Conditions.
The acquiring of wealth, education
and civic pride results in the gravitat-
ing together into groups or classes OF
persons of like attributes and common
tastes, and creates the desire for bet
ter living conditions and surroundings.
This is true among Negroes as well as
other people; therefore, it is just as
foolish to talk about all Negroes liv-
ing where the mass of them live as 1t
is to say that all Jews and Italians
should live on the West Side, because
most of their people are there. Be
ing an American product, the Negro
has not only absorbed the white mans
vices, but also his virtues; among the
last is the desire to live amid pleasant
surroundings, limited only by MS
means.

rest assured that affairs Of the insti-
tuition would not be slurred over. The
board took the view that the governor
had clearly stated matters in his let
ter and dismissed the petition on
these grounds. The trustees made no
statement as to their attitude towards
the lGG students who signed the petit
ton, but it was said yesterday that
some members were inclined to take
summary action against all the stu
dents.
The trouble at the university was
somewhat augmented Wednesday af-
ternoon when the president Of the
student body was indefinitely sus-
pended from the institution by the dis
ciplnc committee because he pre-
sided at an illegal meeting of the stu
dent body. The students held meet
ing Wednesday morning and voted to
declare holiday in order that they
might see the tank parade on Lib
crty day"
The discipline committee say that
the president had no authority TO en-
tcrtain motion to declare a holiday,
and further said that the entire meet
ing was out Of order inasmuch as no
permission had been granted by Pres
idcnt Currcll to hold the meeting. The
president of the student body stated
yesterday that he had no knowledge
of what was to take place at the meet
ing and merely presided at the re-
quest Of other students who were al
ready in session when he arrived at
the meeting.
The discipline committee is COM
posed Of Dr.. w. S. Currcll DR.. A. G..
Moore and l.. II. Baker. This new
angle in the situation may develop
some interesting sidclights when tho

Monday to start its final investigation

to be inclined to suspend all members

classes Wednesday.

Moreover, there Is disposition
