Ed. Safeguard: We held our

the happiest man in the world
if he has enough to eat today,
to-morrow can take care of itself.
He will work but he will go
into debt. He will mortgage his
labor which is against the law.
The white man is arrested for
jteonage. There is trouble in
the camp.
But there is much in the Ne-
gro laborer. He loves the white
man. He is naturally friendly
to hiiw. He is good natured. j
He is not u striker. H" is not
guilty of organizing mafia so-'
eieties for killing people. He is
law-abiding under ordinary cir-
cumstances. Whiskey and pol-
iticians get hiiii into a world of
trouble, and the entire race suf-
fers for it. He has been the
greatest protection the South
has ever had against the inroads
of immigration, which has caus-
ed the North to have a problem,
not "the Negro problem," hut
the problem of foreign immigra-
tion. The South is committing
the error of the North in bring-
ing the foreigner into its borders.
It is creating another problem of
vital moment. Which will hold
the balance of power, the Negro
or the foreigner; On which
side will the white man be, of
the South! of the North?
We believe that the immigration
movement of the South is a mis-
take. We know the Negro; he is a
part of our history; he can be
trusted with our most vital in-
terests; he is a part of our civili-
zation; his churches fill our
South land; our religion binds
us to him. Indeed our own sal-
vation from every viewpoint is
the salvation of the Negro. Let
us save him that we may save
ourselves.
