s; that they should own homes, pay
their taxes and perform their civic duties like all other citizens and
that they should possess all of the rights and privileges that are
delegated to them by the Constitution of the United States. They believe
in the purity of the state and in the sanctity of the home. They are
enduring, self-sacrificing, patient, and long suffering, and desire the
good of all. It is this class that always assists in quelling race riots
and is constantly seeking the co-operation of the best class of white
people in order that the relation between the races may be of the most
cordial nature. It is this class also who do not lose their heads though
innocent members of the race be murdered by the mob. Though this class
is rapidly increasing, it is still far inferior in number to the first
class.

The third class is composed chiefly of the ante-bellum Negroes. They are
well advanced in age and are contented with their present lot. Many of
them have waited for years for the forty acres and mule and having been
disappointed in their expectation, they have lost all hopes. They are
fast losing sight on the things of this world and gaining sight on the
things of the world to come. Ofttimes, they sing, "You may have all this
world, but give me Jesus." They are perfectly harmless and have no
earthly ambition. This is what the white man here calls a good Negro;
for him they act as pall-bearers when he dies and for him they weep when
he is gone. In many instances they erect monuments to his memory.

_Fallacy of the Master and the Bible Remedy._

Since the recent riots that have occurred in Georgia, North Carolina,
Tennessee, Arkansas and other Southern States, many white ministers and
other prominent citizens of the South have been advocating a return to
the master and Bible theory of slavery days, when, they say, there was
no race problem. But every student of history knows that at the same
time the master was carrying the Bible to his slaves this country was
struggling with one of the greatest race problems that the world has
ever witnessed and the slavery phase of this problem was settled by one
of the bloodiest wars in the annals of history. Furthermore, the student
of history knows that the master carried the lash more often to the
slave's back than the Bible to the slave's heart; that the lash kept the
slave in subjection.

If the relation between the races now seems most strained and the
solution of t
