WHO WILL SOLVE THIS PROBLEM?
0Z
UR tenant farmers, courageous, honest, patient and long-suffering, when
all they see light ? When shall their burdens be lifted ? In the spring
time they go forth, and with our brothers in black set their hands to the plow.
They bend their backs to the burden, and when the frost falls they have added
$1,000,000,000 to the wealth of the world. But small, indeed, is their share,
and meager their recompense. Every two years, according to the government
census, they move from one place to another.
They build no homes, they live in rude huts, no flowers about their dwell
ings, no trees to shade them from the sun, consumed by the summer's heat and
and chilled by the winter's cold, no lawns about their houses, no garden fences;
and with the accursed cotton plant crowding the very threshold of their rude
dwellings and thrusting its limbs into their very windows, their lot is indeed
pitiable.
Their sons and daughters come to manhood and womanhood, desert the
farms and are lost in some distant community. Finally, when their pilgrimage
is over, they are laid to rest in the rude churchyards of the country, others take
their places and continue the fight. They have established no permanent
homes, their kith and kin are scattered far and wide, and the places that knew
them once know them no more forever.
I have no word of criticism for men like these. I know them, I have lived
among them, I sprang from them. Who shall undertake to lead these men out
of the wilderness of their troubles ? Men whom they elevate to high offices in
the state and national government are ever ready to teach them politics, but
they are not prepared to help them solve their problems of life. A fearful
responsibility rests at this time upon men in authority and men in high offices.
Will they meet it? Joseph T. Holleman.
