Idleness is the primal cause of lyix'hng, because, it breeds a condition which creates crime. Remove this condition and crime, lynching and any ill feeling between the races will largely decline. It is the duty of the white mtn pre eminently to uphold his own laws. When a mob for any reason whatever takes the law into its hands a blow is struck at the very root of our civi lization. The mob spirit is controlled entirely by revenge and a total disre gard for all the forms of established law. This being true-and the state ment will not admit of cavil or dis pute-the very basis of all law is en dangered, for disregard of one law, for any reason whatever, must inevit ably lead to disregard for all htw. Lynehing almost invariably follows the perpetration of a certain crime, and this in late years has not been confined to the South; hut lynehing, besides being all that I say it is, has not' proved effectual, the crime con tinues and must be stopped by other means. The Cure for Lynching. Special Courts, to be convened at as short notice as may be possible within the limits of the law; the fol lowing of the lead of Virginia in mak ing an attempt at rape a capital of fence, and providing for a private deposition by the victim; the estab lishment of a rural police system wlen necessary-some of these to be efileient and intelligent negroes, these are among the remedies which should have our careful consideration. Then there is a certain lawless ele ment in the South which is without a proper conception of the duties of their citizenship, and this consequent ly leads to a disregard of law. As a result of this, these men have not the proper regard for human life, more especially the life of a negro. This is the element which is the thorn in the flesh of our citizenship, and this Ple ment must be checked and cont rolled. We must h)e just to all, and to this clement, our effort.s to stop) the crime of lynching must be directedl. We must look this squarely in the face, for-it is againist the traditions of the South to shirk any responsibility. The strongest element of our best citizenship must assert itself-no moral cowardice must be laid at the door of the South. It is a hard ques tion wvith which to grapple, but wve should use our best endeavors to solve its perplexities, and to meet its responsibilities in keeping. with the dligniity of our laws; to maintain our heritage as a people, and to do the right in the sight of God. I have thought it necessary to touch upon01 the race pl)hmlh att someW leng'th here, because, as I said at the begin ning of the bearing white immigra tion has upon01 the solution of this problem. You will see in what. I have said that I have really beeni duseuss ing the subject of immigration in its most important aspect. Many theories have been advanced, but, as I have shown, they are theor ies only and have afiorder no practi cal solution. It no wvremains for us to put into operation the only p)racti cal plan which can be immediately adopted., We must bring into, the South, not hundreds, not thousands, but hundreds of thousands of desir able white immigrants, and thus make this land literally a white man's counitry, and thus remove forever all suggestion of a raen problem. Our WonderfiMl Resources. If the subjectb of immigration, ago tated throughout the South, did noth ing but advertise our wonderful re sources we would be wvell repaid for the trobule and expense incurred. It is greatly to be regretted that our re sources and the true conditions in the South are not lietter known and understood ab)road. There is no hot ter place in the wide world thtan in this beautiful Southland of ours; oii could not come to a more blessed .e tion or east his lot among a more h o. pibil" people.

How Immigrants Should Be Gotten In order to do this, selcctioi sliould be made abroad, at the homeq of the immigrants.

Ainothber im. portant consideration whichi must nol be overlooked is that better wage4 will most probably have to he paid It will' readily be seen that, this wil be a good investment, because more erieient work and better results will follow bet ter wages. And finlally, but most important the success of this whole movement depends almost entirely upon the practical interest we of the Souti take in tis matter. These immigrants come to make a home and to bettel their condition.' We must see to 1' that they realize their expectations for when they are pleased others wili follow, and should they be discourag ed the work would be greatly hinder ed and retarded. When immigrants have actulall. been landed in this counzitry, ther some of the hardest, work remains to be done. They have left home, the associations of a lifetime, the tradi. ionis of t heir own people and are con. fronted with new conditions in th< land of strangers. To dispose of then promlptly and satisfactorily, to re. move the inevitable hlomesickness an( to at Once secure their confidence ai arirange for theciri comfort require: the faithful and exacting perfor manuce of many resp)onsibilities. Mr. Frank P.
