Southern Negro Addresses Chicago
Audience on the Question.
Chicago, March 30.—“The solution
of the negro problem lies with the ne
gro himself. It ca^n be brought out
by his aiMjuiiing land, saving money
and educating his sons. There is
nothing in the cry about social equal

does not expect it.”

trial and Collegiate institute, a negro
institution at Claremont. Va.
"At the close of the civil war.” Pro
fessor Smallwood said, “the negro had
nothing. Since then he has accumu
lated $300,(!()(»,000 woith of ]iro])erty.
Ke has built up 9(5 institutions or
learning and the race has tuinished
27,000 school teachers. He had turn
ed his attention to buying land, and
this will eventually result in the solu
tion of the race i)roblem. I have no
objection to a law requiring negrof^s
to ride in a Rei)arate coach on the rail
ways. What I do want is a division
of the coach, so that we would not
have to mingle with the element in
our race that is shunno.i by the edu
cated whites in theirs.”
