When the first census of the United States was taken in 1790 one person iii every five was u * negro, or, to be more exact, 19.8 per cent. Two years ago, when the 14th census was taken, one person in every ten was black. The facts are interesting, for they show that in spite of fhe well known fecundity of the black race it is not increasing so rapidly in this country as the white race is. The white people, of course, have added millions to their number by immigration and other millions through the offspring of immigrants, whereas the colored race has had alomst no increase of that sort, llut the process was noticeable even before the great tide of immigration began in the '40s. In the 50 years between 1790 and 1840 the proportion of whites in the population of the country rose from 80.7 per cent to 83.? per cent. In the half century between 1870 and 1920 it went from 86.2 to 89.7 per cent.?that is, it . rose more rapidly but not more steadily than in the earlier period. A still more remarkable fact brough out by the census is the gradual shifting of the negro < population from South to North. The five States of South Caro lina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, where the negroes are most numerous, actually had 37ji)00 fewer black persona in 1920 than they had in 1910. The five States of New York. Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana andlllinois had 320,000 more. The negro, like the white man, begins to show a tendency to leave the farm for the city ami I the factory. With the movement, perhaps largely because of it, ^P^nomes a diminishing colored birth ratb^ which, according to the cen. sua authorities, is not yet offset, as it is in the case of the white raee, by a greatly diminished death rate. It seems reasonable to believe that the colored race will not thrive so well in the colder elimate of the North and' under the confining conditions of Industrial life as it has on the /plantations of the South, but the northward drift is unmistakable. , s h . # / Tmdi ID'S i Sale HROUGH THE | [ ith of June[ y Night, July 1 i ?
