BULLOCK HIDES IN CANADA

Hamilton, Ontario, Feb. 3.-Once
again Canada showed to the world that
she was the true friend of the down
trodden and a firm believer in Justice
and fair play when the deputy minister
Of immigration issued an order for
the Immediate release Of Matthew Bul
lock for whom the authorities Of the
state of North Carolina had asked nx-
tradition. He was issued upon his re
lease, permit to remain in Canada
for three months, conditional upon his
good behavior and this permit can Ire
renewed from time to time.
Bullock was Immediately spirited
away by his friends, for fear that the
North Carolina authorities wouLl
again cause his arrest and his where
abouts will remain secret. 1t was iii
timated by state department officials
that an attempt will be made to extra
dite him when the papers which were
sent back to the North Carolina CAPT
tai for correction are returned.
1t is not definitely known here.
whether the Wahstoagintronuiti hetno
whether the Washington authorizes
will press the extraditio:. PROCEEDINGS
hut it is thought that in view Of the
Canadian attitude. the state department
will turn a deaf ear to the cries Of the
North Carolina authorities for extradi
ton. Afte rhearing Of Bullock's release
by the Canadian officials a prominent
North Carolina politician expressed
doubt as to whether there was any
great desire to have him extradite,l,
for If he was the North Carolina MI
thorities would be under the necessity
Of protecting him from lynching, SO
thnt. in his estimation If Bullock re.
NAMED ont Of the United States they
would be just as we'll pleased.

the South believe this to be the case,

South holds that this on the part of a

Senator Bailey's deduction Is that, col.

THE SOUTH'S MEANING

am to speak today on: "rhe South's
meaning of social equality l CANNOT
give 4 comprehensive cXegeSiS on TINS
false doctrine in n limited address,
will have to be brief on points taken
up. and necessarily leave untouched
many things Of paramount interest," !
am not to speak on Social Equality"
for that is a private matter or indlVlu

their. homes and private functions, ana
no law can r!Shtfully function in the
private choice Of law-abiding ind'v!o
uals who make choice Of other indiv'h
uals rs their social friends and com.
,rades. But / am to point out some OF
the things the South means by parad-
ing this ghost up and down the land.
Tersely speaking this might he eX-
planned to those OF us who know the
South from skin to marrow in few
words; for we know that this bug-hear
is a trick Of the South to gain behind a
mask what she lost on the field of bat
tie; 1t Is a southern propaganda,
Launched to leaven the nation With
southern ideas touching the Colored
people that they might see with diff
ferent eye and play hands off while
southern madness RACES. The South
does not want us to be free, nor enjoy
the blessings Of citizenship; she wants
us to be prescribed against and to DE

her, she played we'll n double gulhe,
she must regain her place. power ana

and at same time work out a system
by which she can keep the colored peo-
pie down. They bowed to the terms OF
the conqueror and came back with hat
in hand, but in their secret council,
launched their propaganda under cap

real purpose from the dcSpised Yankee.
NOT A GOOD LOSER
The South was too small Of moulh

must follow the grucsomc business OF
human slavery. The fact that she hau
driven a people In slavery for two and
half centuries without pay, kindness,
friendship and humane protection
counted for nothing, they must be Tt
inslaved.
So under tho SLOGAN Of "social equal.
ity" they started out to poison the
North's mind against an unprotected
people. "White Supremacy" they
cried; white Superior" they proclaim

ator Bailey would havo been anothe,

force Of circumstances; they shoot out
this kind OF tomfoolery to play to tho
gallery and court the plaudits of de-
voices Of false theory in fcrment for
,nree hundred years.
They find themselves as it were in
quicksand. hut they are not willing to
be rescued unless the Colored people
are left, there at their mercy; they
find themselves backward in nutiona
progress, but they are not willing to be
helped forward unless the Colored peo
pie are left behind kind of adjunct to
