?*··.? \..? h>e-tween the colored people themselvesar< the most serious draw backs «0 th·. irprogress.

We shall deal next week with Mr.Thomas Nelson Paok's article "TheNegro: The Southeruer's Problem" aspublished iu the May number ofMcClures Magazine.

Ime colored person of good mannershelps to alleviate the condition not onlyof himself, but those around him.

President Roosevelt promptly re-nominated Dr. Wm. 1). Chum to beCollector of the Port at Charleston,South Carolina.Tbe President gave the Negro haters

down there a white Negro, aud yet theyart still kicking.

it want do, colored nien to eimourag«yotaj children to be insulting to whitepeople, ev«u though they may 0?0??? eit Teach them to be respectful t«>evtry body aud the result will repayy .. au hundred fold.

I £*, those white peoplii iu the Southwho are friendly to the colored people».nd believe in the race's possibilities areir. the minority, but they are doingmuch to make our burdeu lighter.

We have thousands of white friendsthroughout this country, both Northand South, whose sympathies are withOS. We should do uothiug and sav jnothing to cause theui to turn from usin disgust. We ueed friends now, coloredfolks, yes, we ueed them b.idly.

Sjncr the viruleut attack ou DrCrxtm agaiust whom the N'egro-hatersconld bring no charge save that of color,Pro?. Booker T. Washington, whorightfully recommended him seems tohav»? "gone 'way back and sat down."When we consented to the sacrifice of

the political positions we had upon thepromise that we should receive othersthrough the meliuoa of the men ofthe race most capable we swapped thesr.bstance for the shadow and gave in¬creased impeturs to the opposition thatwas against all Negroes holding office.Moral; Never give up the job you

have until you have safely landed ih ?job you are after.

The institute for Colored Youth atCbeyney, Pa., the announcement ofwhich was published in these columns

of April 38. 1904 is one of the best nor¬mal schools for the professional train¬ing of teachers in the country. It hasthe advantage of location and facilitiesaud its able faculty, under the superbmanagement of Prof. HuohM. Browneshould commend it to the lovers of thorough training every where.Communications addressed an him at

Cheyuey, Pa., will receive prompt at¬tention.

It is the Negro as a freeman aud aeitizeu that the Negro-hatere are after.They are opposed to the self-employingcitizen of color just as they were opposedbl the free Negro of slavery days.A Negro as a servant is all right with

them. Be he ever so igno: ait or anrefined, he is welcomed into the hues'hotels, residt nces, barber shops, businessestablishments, sleeping, parlor anddining cars or any where else.But you let this same Negro put on a

Fedora or Derby hat, and clothe himselfwith a late style suit of the tailor'sfinest make, and draw his expensemoney from his own pocket, having| earned the same in a business, where heis his own employer, and immediately| there is a wail in the Southland andsuch a Negro is not capable, able or fitto darken the front gate, much less thefront door of the most degenerate whiteman in all this land.He may be educated, skilled aud a

walkiug type and exponent of »he doc¬trines and ideas of Lord Chesterfieldbut such a specimen ot a Negro is an a.bonunation to the average Negro hatingwhite man and from such a specimenhe says, "May the good Lord deliverU8."

X voiCK FROM K01N0KE.

Tiik Roanoke, Va.. Evenivo Wouldin its issue of the 2ng all hut!.·« conson¬ant with the exercise of the rights of adeservedly free p*v»ole.This jouruul couclmled as follows:"The perpetuity ttf Southern society

and civilization depeuds upon keepingintact the hue of deinarkatiou botWOOBthe two races, and any Negro who seeksro cross that line and force social equa¬lity with bout hern whites, will meetwith resistane«·, to the extent, if nettibe, of the extermination ot the inferi rrace. This does not imply enmity to theN.gro. Ou the contrary it is for insgood, aud so lougas he recognizes thefact aud acts upon if, uv will lind littleor nt) t>ppositiou from ».he white ? oplein the South, to his full enjoyment ofUfa, liberty aud property."The above brutal utterances will

hardly disturb the equnuauimity of theaverage citizen of color. The writerthreatens extermination if the colore«ibrother crises the line and fore ßsocial equality, but says nothing as towhat shall be done when white peop'ecross the line and do the sunn thing.

His expressed determination to exter¬minate an entire race of pjople, althoughpreviously stated, with its usualaccompaniment of "cooliug time" doesnot imply enmity to the Negro. Ou thecontrary, accordiug to his theory, it indicates the love of him. The absurdityof this line of reasoning is too appuramifor further comment.As we have before intimated and

asserted, the Evbnino W.rld is of theopinion that Negro man can gain theconsent of some white females for d^edsuuiiieuLioiiuble in these columns andthat this consout is possible upviu th ?? rausieoit acquaintanceship on tue streetoars and other public places.We have never subscribed to any sum

idea and the reflection upon sotue of thefemales of the S» m bland is too base toba tolerated in the columns of any whitejournal. Social relationship can only bebrought about by the cousent of bothparato! to the transaction.We do uot doubt that the bastard

mulattoesuow roaming the streets ofRoanok«i are the cause of the "blood onthe moon," whioh our contemporarythinks it sees in the street car situationat Richmond.For our part, we are opposed to the

mixing and will cooperate with theEvening World in any legitimate ef-fort to improve the moral condition ofboth races.White men who are living in an

adulterous relationship with Negrowomen should be promptly dealt withand vice-versa.But this relationship was not brought

about by the railroad trains, streetcars,hotels or even in these white men'skoines.As a rule, they hie themselves away

as far as possible from their own resi-dences where they regale themselves

with the deHíTV'ee ot the season andenjoy tbe embraces of a dusky Negrofemale, upon whom the rivorage Negroman looks with conteront.We have seen white men in close con.

versation after night fall with Negrowomen, whose ugliness and unkemptcondition would almost make a totter¬ing chimney fall.But on trujse questions, sir, you are

silent. You go after a class of whiteand black people who. along those liuesat least are thinking no evil aud doingno wrong, while the other class are tuhidiug, practicing all of the evil of themodern Gomorroh.Let us have Negro women for Negro

men and white women for white men.You hang or shoot by law all of theNegroes, male or female, proven to beliving in an immoral relationship withwhite folks, male or female, and per¬mit us to hang or shoot by law all ofthe white folks, male or female provento be living in an immoral relationshipwith Negroes, male or female.We proph*«y the result will be that

your anxiety has been to keep your peo-pie from us rather than to keep us fromyours was well founded.We are satisfied. You have one color

from which to select.all white, whilewe have many colors from which tomake our choosing.We have red Negroes, yellow Ne¬

groes, copper-colored Negroes, whiteNegroes and black Negroes, both refin"ed, iliterato and ignorant, and any col¬ored man who is uot satisfied with thisselection of females from which tochoose and goes after white womenought to be hanged.We are satisfied with what we have

on this side of the potato patch. Keepyour white men at home.We aro opposed to your "social

equality" especially that kind whichhas made it impossible for thousands ofus to tell whether we are genuine ormongrel, and causes the street-car con¬ductors to be constantly "chucking" usover among the white folks, and forcingup on us social equality, when we knowwe belong among tho colored folks,where we can be content'îd and happy.You started too late, Mr. Evbnim»

World, the amalgamating business bo¬yan two hundred and fifty years ago,and we doubt not if you have lived inthe southland all of your life, as didy«jnr forefathers, some of your ances¬tors may have had a hnnd ia the mir¬ing.Any man. be he white or black, who

is coastai tly stirring up race prejjdices an«l appcaliug to the bastir pos¬sums in the humau race in order towiden the breach between the races anddisturb the friendly relationship be¬tween them is an enemy to the republica and dangerous disturber of the peace ofthe community iu whi-h he lives.Colored men will continue to culti¬

vate a friendly relationship with thefrieudly elements of the white race.These trouble br«>eders have their usesand devil like continue their work ofevil all the time. We shul 1 not lose hope,hut shall battle on to the eml, knowingthat "after life's fitful fever, we shall¦leap well ' an 'oar Col will wipe all«f the tears from our eyes.
