RACE RIOTS NEED NOT
HAPPEN SAYS SPEAKER

Washington. d. c., April 12.--wasf1-
inkton's race riots last GUNNER, in
which several lives were lost, need
never have happened according to
Il. f.. Blackwell, OF Richmond, presi-
Gent OF the Randolph Macon. college,
Of the NJ Il. Church. south
Characterixing the riots as a blot
en- the name OF the nation. Or Hack
well said that n proper understanding
Of the colored race by white Christians
and a properly manifested desire to
help the negroes would result in such
relations that violence seldom would
occur.
'The negroes have been led astray
by members OF their race who came
back from the North with radical no.
tons" said DIR. Blackwell Added to
this. they. have no way to obtain re-
dress OF their wrongs Ticy protest
to the railway companies over travel
conditions. and nobody listens to
them. They demand better treatment
in the courts and by the police. and
their petitions are rejected. As a re-
suit, when some radical members of
the race come to them and tell them
that their recourse Is in force of arms,
they succeed in getting a following.
and there are clashes between. the
races and kindlfng hatred
AS a matter OF fact, negroes 40
suffer many wrongs. If white people
would try to understand their position,
by seeking out the leading negroes in
each community, and then would go
to the civil, railroad and other au-
thorities and demand that they get
Justice, the negroes would show their
appreciation. We have succeeded in
doing this to large extent in Rich :
rrond, and i was the means of saving
as race riot last year
DR.. Blackwell said the health OF the
negro population should be safe
guarded by sanitary measures and
medical service, II for-no other reason
than the protection OF the white race.
You know well that IL your coiored
nurse is sick, your chlds health Is
endangered" said DIR. Blackwell
This is the selfish View of the sub
Ject but 1t Is the practical side Of a
question thaDshould arouse our Chris
