SOUTH HAS NO
RACE PROBLEM
SAYS VISITOR
L)r. Henry K. Vye of Rhode
Island Dcclari's I liat It
Is in North Thai Hare
Problem Exists
SPEAKS TO ItOTAKY
Twenty Minute Talk Is
Termed by Kotarian
Most Thought-Provoking
Utterance Heard
"The South haa tio race proh
1 ?*in. America'* real race problem
in in the North."
That is the oplnlou of He v. Dr.
Henry K. Vye of Providence,
Rhode Island, now supplying
the pulpit of the First Baptist
Church during the vacatiou ot l?r.
Samuel II. Templeinau. who was
the speaker of the day at the
weekly luncheon of the Elizabeth
City Hotary flub at the Southern
Hotel Friday.
Dr. Vye has a lecture ou "See
inc Ourselves us Other* See I's, or
au Outsider'* View of the South."
which has been iu rather wide de
mand. aiitl tie ban given aerlou*
thought to the so-called race proo
le in of the South. He believes
that foreign Immigration in the
North presents a far inor-* serious
difficulty and that the presence of
so large a proportion of foreigners
In American life consumes Amer
ica's real race problem.
The speaker held the close at
tention of the members of the
Elizabeth t'lty Rotary Club Friday
and his 20 minute talk has been
the occasion for no little comment,
many Hotarlans regarding It as the
most- thought-provoking utterance
heard by the club this summer.
In suhstunce Dr. Vye said:
On the spot. Dr. Vye, who
preached his last sermons iu the
First Baptist pulpit next Sunday,
was given a hearty Invitation to
speak to the club again next Mum
mer.
"Thtf United States Ik an exper
iment In democracy, a venture in
the form of government known as
a republic. There has always
been a, question as to the future
of this nation. Ureal men have
been skeptical as to the perman
ency of this kind of government.
"Carlyle said: 'Bewildered Eu
rope struggles not toward the im
possible self government of a mul
titude by a multitude but toward
some possible government by the
wisest."
"Ktisklu said: 'The Interests of
the multitude are always safer 111
the hands of thn highly Intelli
gent few than in their own hands.'
"Macaula> said: 'The blunders
of a democracy cost more ihau it
is worth."
"There Is predicted the collapse
of this republic In forty years. We
may not accept this statement us
sure prophecy. It is worth consid
ering.
The Ke?| Hare Problem
"Now the great problem Is the
race problem. Not that of the
negro race. There is no problem
connected with the negro In the
South. The Southern people un
derstand the negro, and the negro
knows his place,, and they both
get along well together.
"But there in a race problem
that ought to be clearly under
stood by every true American.
"Before we can present " this
problem we 'need to refresh our
minds as to the race that laid the
foundation of our nation. Who
are we anyhow? An Englishman
a Frenchman and an Irishman
were talking together as to what
they Would like to be If they were
not what they were. The English
man said:' If I were not an Eng
lishman 1 would like to be a
Frenchman .' The Frenchman re
turned the compliment and said:
'If I were not a Frenchman I
would like to be an Englishman.'
Then they asked the Irishman
what, he would like to, he if he
were not an Irishman and he re
plied: 'If I were not an Irish
man I would be ashamed of my
self.'
"We need not ever be ashamed
of our ancestors, the Anglo-Saxon
race, who laid the foundations of
this nation. For over fifteen
years the Anglo-Haxon race has ex
erted a protective Influence upon
lives of mankind. About 4 4** A.
D.. the Jutes, the Angles and the
Saxons, different tribes of the Teu
tonic race, began a conquest of
Britain. For over four years Bri
tain had been a Roman province,
but In 410 Rome withdrew her al
legiance with Britain. Then the
Jutes, the Saxons and the Angh s
came in.
The new home of this popula
tion was hard and severe. Dismal
and gloomy forest lay l?? liiml
them. The North Sea with Its
storms and tempests lay before
them. Their life was an ever
lasting struggle with natnre. The
result was that only the most
hardy survived and a race robust
and vigorous was produced. The
sea exerted a far Influence upon
them. In all great English lit
erature the music of the sea la
Is heard.

' trance from the street. The lobby
I Is to extend through the building
to FearltiK street also, but Is to

to be 2M by 00 feet.

each floor there will be a suit* of
three rooms which may be used
separately or together, and ftleo
three pairs of room* similarly
connecting. The suites will over
look Pasquotank River, which Is
expected to add measurably to
[their desirability.
