THE NEGRO FROM AFRICA TO
AMERICA"
Southern Educator Produces Notable
Book on Race Question

Nashville, Tenn, March 20.-(Spe-
cial to The Broad Ax)-Dr WI d.
Weatherford, Of this city, President Of
Southern College Of Y.M.C.A., is soon
TO bring out what is believed to be
the most thorough-going and compre-
hensive book on race relations ever
published. The title, "The Negro:
From Africa to America" indicates
the general scope of the work It
gives no suggestion, however, Of the
vast amount Of historical research
which the volume embodies, relating
to the Negro in his native home, the
slave regime both in the Americas and
in the adjacent islands, and the his
tory and progress of the race since
emancipation. TO the great historical
value of the book is added wealth Of
popular human interest, through the
inclusion Of many intimate glimpses
Of ante-bellum conditions that have
heretofore been inaccessible to most
readers. The book is said to combine
in rare degree both the scientific and
popular approach.
Tn summing up, the author offers no
final solution Of the race problem, but
emphasizes the conviction that if the
two races viii only exercise good will
and heIpfniness toward each other
from day 10 day, the future may be
safely trusted to take care Of itself
The whole philosophy Of the book is
simply that Of doing the next thing"

THIRD WARDS HON. EDWARD III.
WRIGHT REMAINS TRUE TO HON.
LEN SMALL.
tRy spseIal Sac corrs.poads.asll


You will remember that in my last
letter told Of The strange bedfelIows
this political campaign has made. The
most striking is fhat evidenced BY the
covering on the bed of Oscar De-
Priest. Archibald ]. Carey, Louis B.
Anderson and his one time partner
William Z. King and Medill Nc
Cormick and the Chicago Tribune.
OF course there are many of the
smaller fry who do not count very
much either at the polls 81 ii the com
fnunity. but they ate as vociferous and
self sufficient as if the fate of empires
hung upon their words. It was inti-
mated i'll former letter that Oscar
could not stomach the governor be
cause He was not pure enough" and
for the same reason the good Archi
bald found himself in the opposition
to the governor, who was once the
greatest man taccording to Carey in
the days of William Hale Thompson's
aseendency) who ever lived within the
tide Of time. But another king Is
upon the throne, and Oscar and Archi-
Bald always worship the rising and
not the setting sun. 1t win be re-
nnembefed that both these worthies
swore last year that they could not
bear to see any Republican profane
the seat which the great William Hale
had flied. And that was one Of the
thousands Of reasons" so men say,
why these worthless supported the can
didacy of a Democrat over the cahdi-
date selected, 50 they then charged,
BY the harted Tribune and the Nc
CormicRs who was THE arch enemy
OF the human race" They repeated
that If Mccormick stood at heavens
gates they would cut across the woods
before they would pass him to get in.
All that is forgotten in the lively
sensing 81 favors now in hand and
yet to come.
But It IS noted that Hon Ed
Wright is saying nothing and saving
wood. OF course, ne would not Be
expected from his judicial position 70
say much, but with that he Is still
standing by the governor that he must
break with his former friend Oscar.
And strange to say the preachers have
fallen III behind their several leaders
and for reasons uifknown to gods and
men, but there have been reasons" Of
| the same kind that influenced the
higher ups last year.
The contest for Senator is becoming
more and more real contest. Gov
ernor Deneen has brought the war to
the very gates of Ghaza. He has a
wonderfully telling message and his
friends swear BY him. He has a
strong array Of men on his ticket and
supporting it and when the ballots are
counted they ask that their candidate
will Be the standard bearer.
There IS the usual crop Of small
men who seek Office for the purpose
of getting them elves advertised.
