ces of mankind,
but there are four great things upon which we are all united: Love of
home, love of country, love of liberty and love of woman." The glory of
the Anglo-Saxon race has come largely of the estimate it has placed on
woman.

Mr. Dixon would break the accord of the American Negro with the rest of
his fellows by picturing him as the savage enemy of womankind. In order
to attain his end he picks up the degenerates within the Negro race and
exploits them as the normal type. In one of his books Mr. Dixon makes a
Negro school commissioner solicit a kiss from a white girl when she
applies to him for a position. The man of this character in the Negro
race is known of all men familiar with the Southern Negro to be an
exotic, for nowhere in the world does woman get more instinctive
deference from men than what Negro men render to the white women of the
South. The very fact that degenerates sometimes make them the objects of
assaults, invests them with a double measure of sympathy and deference
on the part of the great body of Negro men.

WHERE MR. DIXON'S POWER FAILS.

Mr. Dixon displays great power in depicting the emotions of the white
people when the news was borne to them that a little white girl had been
outraged and slain by a Negro.

Mr. Dixon, there were other hearts throbbing in that neighborhood! Oh,
that you had the spirit and the power to give utterance to those heart
throbs.

The Negroes, whose absence from the mob you would ascribe to sympathy
with the criminal, were in their homes sorrowing over the death of the
little one, sorrowing over the disgrace that was so undeservingly
brought upon the race, and wondering whether your mob had the right man
or was making a mistake that would leave the really guilty free to again
bring death and grief and wrath to the white race and grief and shame
unspeakable to the Negro race.

AS TO INTERMARRIAGE.

Not content with picturing the Negro race, as a race prolific with the
assaulters of women, Mr. Dixon would further have the world believe that
the highest ambition of the cultured Negro man is to find for himself a
white wife.

Perhaps it may not be out of place just here for the writer to disclose
what he considers, from close observation, to be the attitude of the
Negroes on the question of the intermarriage of the races. They do not
hold with that group of writers who contend that the Negro is
inherently inferior to the whites and that a mixture of
