AGREES WITH PRESIDENT
(AtIanta. Ga. INDEPENDENT

(Atlanta. Ca. independently
In discussing the Negro problem, he
mentioned the suggestion Of Senator
Medill Mccormack, of Illinois. who sug
gested that in lieu of the Dyer bill; 4
commission be appointed to investl-
gate racial conditions and report to
congress remedies or suggestions for
the settlement of the many vexations
racial and inter-racial problems the
president well stated our views when
he expressed the doubt Of the wisdom
Of such a commission when he said
But it is we'll to recognize that these
difficulties are to a large extent local
problems, which must be worked out
by the mutual forbearance and human
kindness of each community. Such il
method gives much more promise of a
real remedy than outside interference
The presidents view On this question
is our view, and we do not believe that
the remedy for racial ills in this coun
try lie In political or legislative enact
ment, but in solution peculiar to the
locality in which the problems exist.
Yet we do not mean that legislat 'ol
ought not to be enacted which will
largely regulate and distribute the
rights of the citizens upon a basis Of
equality before the law. But we do
mean that no commission can fix a
general rule for the permanent settle
ment of racial ills throughout the com
try.
On the whole the address was a
sane. business discussion of the ma
tons affairs and suggestive Of rene
dies looking to the elimination or
evils hindering the prosperity OF all
the people. The document was simply
a state paper written by a statesman
and delivered to an anxious and patrI-
otto country by man in whom the ma

A GAME WITH RULES REVERSED

The Negroes attracted to the North
in this and recent years are largely
from the lowest classes. They are illit
crate, happy-go-lucky, highly emotion
al. highly gregarious and grossly ignor
ant. They have heen I'D up on wild
tales of equality. and they enter the
cities of tine North wild to experient e
hitherto unknown freedom and social
,riviieSes. The unschooled Negro fresh
from the South in his new surround
:gs is exploited by machine politl
clans who make hi mextravagart
cans, who make him extravagant prom
Uses which they never intend to fulfil.
In the South white man may hate
the Negro as Glars, but he will put
himself GU to befriend On individual
Negro. In the north white men profess
a great interest in the uplift of the Ne
gro as q class. but ignore the individ-
ual. In the North his children may sit
side by side with white children in pub
lie schools, but he and his wife are
showed aside as rudely in white hotels
theatres and restaurants as in the
South. He finds his life in the North
more confusing than in the South. H.
has been led to believe that the att
tude Of the North is more broad and
tolerant toward the Negro than is the
altitude of the South. He finds that
this is far from being true-and the.
North hasn't had enough experience
with the Negro to know exactly how IT,
receive him and place him. Left to him
self. he will work out a place for him
self; fanatical leaders often mis-direct
his energies and inflame his imagina-
tion.
The race problem is no longer a 10.
cal problem left to the South to Sow
In its own way; it is problem for the
metropolitan centers of the North anG
il mistake not the signs and temper
Ut the time the North will shed blood
over the problem IL it does not inter
est itself Immediately.
