Races, " beforo the 4Mb convocation of
thn University of Chicago on Iho 3d Inst.,
John Templo (iraves of Atlanta, (la.,
advocated as a solution of the. race prob
lem the establishment In the Philippines
of a negto Stale, where no while- nur.i
shoul lie allowed to vote. He said In part:
The races en- wider apart und more
antagonistic than they ware In IMS. There
Is less of sympathy, and more or tension
than the races have known since the ter
rible days of reconstruction inmle chaos
In the South. Four decades lifter his
emancipation the negro Is in point of
fad less a freeman anil Inllnltely less a
citizen than ho was in IKS.
A Chinese wall of pre.lulce shuts nut
the South oti this itiestiou from the sym-
pathy of the American people, mid nl
lliotlgh fraternal platitudes may cross It,
nnd political nlllllatlons may scale It, und
commercial Interchange may run Its elec
tric wires under and above 11, and al
Ihough but recently military loyalty has
seemed lo shatter II, this wall stands. In
tin- sight of (Jod and of nations, and
hedges i-i the Soulli lis a separate and
peculiar bcon in. hindered with tnlsannre-I
hens'em. held aloof in preludlce, and
I fretted by a criticism which, If sometlmei
I founded in philanthropy, Is too often ex-
pressed In passion and answered In bit-lerne-ss.
And so long ns the problem stands the
old slave States of th- South, unwilling
ly, protestlngly, despairingly, and yet
Inevitably, must be and will be ihe con
tinuing gap In the magnlllielit lino of
i our national unity.
It Is a ptoblem of moral decay. It de-
i
nirriilisr.es politics, u nerever a iuiick su
premacy is tluenteneil through a black
'majority Hi" black ballot Is strangled
without reset vc- in-the black hands Hint
hold It against the surety of the date.
This Is ivtong. It is Illegal. It Is mmi
I strons. But It is true.
I Never, tieer In a thousand years will
! the nei-ro. North or South, be allowed to
i govern In this republic, even where bis
inuinrltlcs ate plain. We might ns lu ll
i fix tint fact In our minds to stay. No
statute can eradicate, no public opinion
I can remove, no armed force can o-r-'
throw the inherent, Invincible, Indestruct
ible. ai,e-. if you will, the unscrupulous
en par Ity and determination of the Anglo-
Saxon rnce to rule.
In a land of light and liberty
I-
.ii n ..t-
of enlightenment atcl law, the wome n of
the South are prisoners to clanger and to
fear. While your women tv iy walk from
suburb to suburb and Irom township to
township without escort anel without
alarm, there is not a woman of the South,
wife or daughter, who would be permltt-el
or who would dan- to walk at twilight
unguarded throuch the residence streets
nl a populous town or to ride the outside
highivnvs at midday.
Here, then, the issues unity of the re
public, material development, puritv of
politics, political Inelepende-tu e, resp. ot
Tor the ballot, revereiice ror tlie eonstl
tutlon, the saretv of our homes, tlie sanc
tity of our women, the supremacy nf law.
th. siero.lness of justice, th" integrity e,f
race, nnd the unity or the church.
There be siat'ds. that lidpli-.-s and un
fortunate Inferior. For his sake the on
rilfferei.ee hns widened between the sec
tions ot our common country. Over his
bine lc body we have slu-d rivers of bio.
and treasure to emphasize our separate
coniiellnns of his destiny.
Atid yet as the crimson tide rolls awiv
Into ihe years we realize that all tins
blood and treasure anel travail was spent
In vain, and that the negro, whom a mil
lion Americans died to free. Is in pres. nt
bond and future promise still a slave,
whipped by circumstance, trodden under
font by It on nnd ineradicable preludlce;
shut out rorever rrom the opportunities
which are the heritage nf liberty, and
holding in his black hand the hollow
pmeiiment of bis franchise as a freeman
looks through n slave's eyes nt the im
passable barriers which imprison him
forever within the pmgrcss anel .chle-.e-nient
of a dominant and all-coneuering
race.
Separation of the rne-es is the ivn -the
only way. Is the expense appalling? Is
the cost prohibitive? ICngland again of

would be freed from the une.iial competi

mill vote in the negro state to hiri-s
the negro s councils, mai let no negro i
vote In any other st no than Ills own j
The chief opposition In the South would
rest upon the misapprehension which )ou j
doubtless share, th it the negro is inriis
pensllile to the agriculture m.d labor con- I
dition.s nf that section. That wis nice1
true. It is no longer true. I state h.e 1
for the fit si time a fact which will be .
siirpilslng lo the Smith as It Is to ) :
The negro no longer makes the st ip'.
or cereal crops of the South: The cat, ".
of Texas, of lxmlsl.ina, nnd of Mi-
sippl Is made childly by the whit
and not by tin- negro: The negi.
longer an industrial necessity. This
Is from the census.
