The negro population in northern cities has increased rapidly in the last few years, but one geod reason why many northern States 'lmv.x no laws against the marriag: ! !gal which contatiied’ two or three ! o of the white and black races is that the necessity for such laws has not been made plain, just as most of the States have no laws against the in- tcrmarrying of the white and the Mongolian races, and wmaintain separate schools for Mongolians But, all this explanation is not written as an excuse. Laws against the intermarrying of the races, we should have by all means in every State to which @ negro can by anv possibility travet. Iy prevent the crime at which it is [ wimed, but it can ot least stand as an expression of public opinion on the n:atter. However, the cure tor all our ills lies decper than the influence of the Iaw can reach. Let it be understood that in the North as in the South {he white wife of a negrg is a pariah, without caste in cither She is hated by the negrees | as she is despised by the whites, A who have | no i No law can whol- | race.

What can be said when 1 girl already outside the pale takes the only step but death thay can free ‘ her from the awfulness of her pres- ! ent way of living The reader may answer that question. The preven- | tatives of the young and silly girl's folly are a wise mother, sound, di- rect education in the ideals of wom- anhood, and the non-existence of the All this we owe to our daughter and whag do we owe to our son v For, sad as the fact is, the hundred: of people of mixed blood in the lar: cities are not the children of white mothers, nor born of lawful, even if | wicked, marriages. Our sons nced | watchful guidance and direct cdn- cation in the ideals of manhood. Let it be said here that if there is any race peril in this country if there is ever to be any race peril in this country--the source will not be the black race but the “yellow’ ‘rzw‘ that we are developing o Positively, the more white blood & negro has the more dangerous ho | to the nation. If silly girls e with the thick-lipped, flat-nosed | of Africa, how much more likels they to clope with a young cnly a shade or twg darker than themselves, in whose veins Anglo- Saxon blood is dominant? It is the nature of white blood to rise, and it retains that tendency even when weighted down with the adultera- tion of African blood. If the coun- try is ever to seec a race war, a pos- sibility that some people fear, it will not be a war between the An- glo-Saxon and the African races, hut a war between pure white blood and adulterated white blood. And, as has been said, our “yellow” popula- tion is in gemeral fathered by the white race. Therefore, it is evident that we have in this country condi- tions that the influcnce of the law alone can not reach The that the white ru ¢ ishould cultivate is not race hatred, ,for hatred is an evil, destructive emotion.
