tions fired at him by members and
guests Of the association. The
complete manner in which he re-
piled to the queries made the meet

ton Hall there.
Touching upon the South's econ
omy, he said:
"The N. A. A. C. P. is against
regional differentials of any kind
in relation to the economy of the
North and the South. The South
will never cease being the nations
No. 1 economic problem until de-
cent wages are paid all souther-
ners, white and Negro, and until
the South puts aside its inferiority
complex and is willing to meet
competition. There is no differ
ence in the cost Of living as be
tween the North and the South.
There is only the difference in the
standard Of living"

Negro Vote Will
Be 1910 Factor,
White Says
Claims Five Million Whites Dis
franchised In Southland

Richmond, Va, July 7.-Walter
White, executive secretary of the
National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, told
5000 people here last week that the
South is definitely moving ahead
because Negroes and Whites are
finding out that for every wedge
which would divide them there are
a score of ties, based on mutually
of economic, social, educational,
and political interest which should
bind them together.
White was addressing the clos
ing sessions of the thirtieth annu-
al conference of the N. A. A. C. P.
held in Richmond's Mosque audi
forum. He spoke prior to Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt's presenta-
ton of the oath Spingarn gold
medal achievement award to Mari
an Anderson, the internationally
famous singer.
"Few of US realize" he said,
that in a large measure many of
the ills from which the South suf-
fers are due directly to the pbysi-
cal and moral effect on the white
South of what it has tried to do
to the Negro. Take the question
of Acknowledgement, for example.
The Negro is denied the ballot and
now 100000 whites are also dis
franchised.
what is the result of all this ?
We find that a distinctly inferior,
and blatant type Of southerner is
elevated to positions of prominence
and power in our national life,
which, as a native southerner my
self, often makes me blush for my
South.
Getting themselves elected by
a small section of those who should
be exercising the right of voting,
they are able to do infinite harm
not only to the South, but to the
people of the country as whole.
A good example of this is the scut-
ting of the relief appropriations,
and the slaughter of the Federal
theatre and arts projects by the
Woodrum Committee"
Pointing to the growing intelli-
gence and independence of the Ne
gro voter as a new and potent
force in the development of our
country's political history, White
said:
1910 may be the most crucial
election in our history. The Negro
vote, representing as it does a po-
tential balance of power in IL
states, which represents 281 cleo
toral votes, will play an important
and, perhaps, the decisive role. It
is most unfortunate and regretta-
BILE that present circumstances
make it most difficult, if not impos-
sible, for any thinking Negro to
vote for a presidential candidate
from the South, however decent the
candidate may be personally. The
pressure of environment is too
great"
Mr.. White praised Virginius
Dabney and Douglas Freeman, edi-
tors of the Richmond Times-Dis-
patch and News-Leader, respec-
lively, as leaders in the vanguard
of the new South who are doing
their share to bring this section Of
the country up to a higher level of
progress. He praised Oscar Chap
man, and Representative Caroline
O'Day, as native southerners who
are showing the way, by the part
they played in having Marian An
derson sing at the Lincoln Memo
rial in Washington. D. G., shortly
after she was refused permission

the Chamber has taken lead

led with this speeding up OF mail

tween Juneau and the States. Pan
American Always, parent company
of Pacific Alaska Always, is now
making experimental flights from

pected that by summer regular fly

on this route.
In addition to assisting in push

has been Instrumental in backing a
