MEXICO CITY, Mex.-Editor Lin
Il wish to congratulate the
writer of the editorial, "Small Souls,
which appeared in the whip" on the
18th of this month. To tell the truth,
the whip" is the best paper that
comes from the states. To make such
selection is not an artificial stand
ard of greatness, or to claim it great
because | am writing you as the edi-
tor of the publication. 1t is simply
to recognize a literary genius deep
thought, the special makeup and
faculties that make a newspaper
great. The editorial was sound
minded hopeful, confident of the
validity of liberty, tenacious of the
deeper principles of world institu-
lions, but with the old rashness
schooled and sobered by instinct
tempered by instruction.
Yours,
John Osk Jeane.

already been stated that we need men

A Stand by Southern Paper.
Editorial from Atlanta, Ga, Oct. "a
The effort is now under way in
Atlanta to bring about a better and
more sympathetic understanding be-
tween the white and colored people
through their respective church or
CARNATIONS is truly commendable. l.
is highly instructive work, intelli-
gently directed.
As a matter of fact, the work is by
no means just begun; it has been un-
der way for several years, and al
ready some splendid results have
beeri obtained 1t is fact, never
theless, that decidedly more wide
spread public interest in the work has
manifested itself of late, and to that
extent its promoters feel greatly en-
couraged and anticipate still further
fine results as time goes On.
The Georgian knows of no effort
by way of civic development aud bet
torment that il would more cordially
and willingly support.
a sympathetic aud sensible under
standing between the races is most
assurcdly to be desired; the two
races have so much in common; the
forward march of both may be 50
greatly helped or impeded by the
ether, as the case may be. That both
races may be continuously and intel
ligently helpful to each other is be
yond all argument the thing to be de
street.-The thing to be worked for by
men who labor along upbuilding
lines.
There has been set up by the min
lsterial associations of both the white
and colored races in Atlanta parallel
committees, having in charge, gen
orally speaking, certain phases of
race relations, and it is proposed that
the two organizations work, the one
with the other, through these com
mittees for the amieable and intelli
gent adjustments of problems that
may arise.
Surely no more sensible or prom
ising agency could have been invoked
by either race in this matter.
The Georgian confidently antici-
pates the most helpful of results from
the same.
The Chicago whip. (Chicago, Ill.) 1919-19??, 1919-11-01

The Georgian believes that if the
ministerial organizations mentioned
here are able to take care u the rela-
lively minor race problems in fair,
square and sincere way. the larger
problems may pretty well be de-
pended upon to take care of them
selves. Some of them are more
imaginary than real, anyway, and
since everything is relative, if the So
called minor problems are settled
highland they will stay settled if
they ARE settled right-the prob
lens we now call large will be that
much easier of sensible adjustment.
And at all events, the way to APP
proach the vital matter of bringing
about further harmonious, sympa-
thetic and intelligent understanding
between the races is TO approach men
Of thought in both races through
those leaders in whom they have
faith and confidence; and since the
ministers of Atlanta have elected to
work along that line, they are work
ing plainly along the road most prom
ising of success.
The Georgian desires to express its
GOOD wishes to both organizations.
