Those are the kind of race issues that I referred to.

Relieve us of that sort of thing, and leave our government to ourselves and our people, and give to the negro the same protection the white man has, but do not give him any more.

Do not let him feel that he has the United States Government standing behind him, and that he is the child of the United States Government to be taken care of, but that he must rely on his own resources and energy for his living, and time will solve the question, and the demand for his labor will protect him.
Q.Do you find that the feeling among the negroes which resulted in the exodus of a few years ago has been allayed and perhaps has disappeared?
-- A.

I will tell you something that is rather amusing about that.

The first that I heard of a negro exodus in my section of the country--it was to Kansas--was my manager coming into my room one morning and saying that the negroes were going out to the river to go to Kansas.
