THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER. The Color Line in the North! RAY STANNARD BAKER IN THE AMERICAN MAGAZINE. VOLUME X. The State Primary The Color in KAY STANVARD BAKER IN Having followed the color line in the South, it is of extraordinary interest and significance to learn how the Negro fares in the North Is he treated better or worse. Is Boston a more favorable location for him than Atlanta or New Orleans? A comparison of the "Southern attitude" and the "Northern attitude" throws a flood of light upon the Negro as a national problem in this country. Most of the perplexing questions in the North pertain to the city, but in the South the great problems are still agricultural. In the South the masses of Negroes live on the land, they are part of the cotton, sugar, lumber and turpentine industries; but in the North the Negro is essentially a problem of the great cities. He has taken his place in the babel of the tenements; already he occupies extensive neighborhoods like the San Juan Hill district in New York and Bucktown in Indianapolis, and, by virtue of an increasing volume of immigration from the South he is overflowing his boundaries in all directions, expanding more rapidly, perhaps, than any other single element of urban population. In every important Northern city, a distinct race problem already exists, which must in a few years assume serious proportions. --- Country districts and the smaller cities in the North for the most part have no Negro question. A few Negroes are found in almost all localities, but an examination of the statistics of rural counties and of the lesser cities shows the Negro population is diminishing in some localities, increasing slightly in others. In distinctly agricultural districts the census exhibits an actual falling off of Negro population of ten per cent. between 1840 and 1600. Cass County in Michigan, which has a famous Negro agricultural colony—one of the few in the North—shows a distinct loss in population. From 1,817 in 1840 it dropped to 1,065 in 1900. A few Negro farmers have done well in the North (at Wilberforce, Ohio, I met two or three who had fine large farms and were prosperous), but the rural population is so small as to be negligible. NEWORLD OF SMALL SOUTHERN Most of the Negroes in the smaller towns and cities of the North are of the stock which came by way of the underground railroad just before the Civil War or during the period of philanthropic enthusiasm which followed it. They have come to fit naturally into the life of the communities where they live, and no one thinks especially of their color. There is, indeed, no more a problem with the Negro than with the Greek or Italian. In one community [Lansing, Michigan] with which I have long been familiar, the Negroes are mostly mulattoes and their numbers have remained practically stationary for thirty years, while the white population has increased rapidly. At present there are only about 500 Negroes in a city of 25,000 people. past part of the wage-working population. Individuals have become highly prosperous and are much respected. A few of the younger generation are idle and worthless. So far as comfortable conditions of life are concerned, where there is little friction or discrimination and a good opportunity for earning a respectable livelihood, I have found no places anywhere which seemed so favorable to Negroes as these smaller towns and cities in the North and West where the colored population is not increasing. But the moment there is new immigration from the South the conditions arise to be utopian—As I shall show. The great cities of the North present a wholly different aspect; the increases of population are there not short of extraordinary. In 1880 Chicago had only 6,400 colored people, it present it has about 15,000, an increase of some 600 per cent. The census of 1900 gives the Negro population of New York is 60,000. It is now (1907) probably not less than 80,000. Between 1890 and 1900 the Negroes of Philadelphia increased by 50 per cent., while the Caucasians added only 22 per cent., and the growth since 1900 has been even more rapid, the colored population now exceeding 80,000. It is difficult to realize the significance of these masses of colored population. The city of Washington today has a greater community of Negroes (some 100,000) than were ever before gathered together in one community in any part of the world, so far as we know. New York and Philadelphia both now probably have as many Negroes as any Southern city [except Washington, if that be called a Southern city] Nor must it be forgotten that about a ninth of the Negro population of the United States is in the North and West. Crowded communities of Negroes in Northern latitudes have never before existed anywhere. Northern city conditions therefore present an entirely unique and extraordinarily interesting study. I went first to Indianapolis because I had heard so much of the political power of the Negroes there; afterwards I visited Cincinnati, Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Chicago and several small cities and country neighborhoods. In every large city both white and colored people told me that race feeling and discrimination were rapidly increasing; that new and more difficult problems were constantly arising. Generally speaking, the more Negroes the sharper the expression of prejudice. While the Negroes were an inconsequential part of the population, they passed unnoticed, but with increasing numbers (especially of the lower sort of Negroes and black Negroes,) accompanied by competition for the work of the city and active political power, they are inevitably kindling the fires of race feeling. Prejudice has been incited also by echoes of the constant agitation in the South, the hatred breeding speeches of Tillman and Vardaman the incendiary and cruel books and plays of Milon, and by the increased immigration of Southern white people with their strong Southern point of view. PATHELIC EXPECTATIONS OF THE NEgro. One finds something mispeakably pathetic in the spectacle of these untold thousands of Negroes who are coming North. To many of them, oppressed within the limitations set up by the South, it is indeed the promised land. I shall never forget the wistful eagerness of a Negro I met in Mississippi. He told me he was planning to move to Indianapolis. I asked him why he wanted to leave the South. "They're Jim Crowin' us down here too much," he said, 'there's no TOPEKA, KANKAS, FRIDAY MONTHING, FEBRUARY 14, 1904. "I bear they don't make no difference up there between white and coloured, and that a hard-working man can get two dollars a day. Is that all so?" "Yes, that's pretty nearly so," I said—it as I looked at the fairly comfortable home he lived in, among his own people. I felt somehow that he would not find the promised land all that he anticipated. A letter that I visited Indianapolis of some other cities and saw hundreds just such eager Negroes attribued, but reached the promised land to classes of colored people in South, the worthless, important and unusual sort who float in the uncommon high paid day labor in the North, accompanied by the gentle yet excellent cats of city life, just dations they love best. Two in the years ago, the governor of Athens, J. F. Davis, pardoned a Negro criminal on condition that he would go to Boston and stay there. The other class is composed of self respecting, hard working people who are really seeking better conditions of life, a better chance for their children. And what do Negroes find when they reach the promised land? In the first place they find in Indianapolis the alley home, in New York the deadly tenement. Landowners in Indianapolis have been building long rows of cheap, one story frame tenements in back streets and alleys. The apartments have two or three rooms each. When new they are brightly painted and papered and to many Negroes from the South, accustomed to the primitive cabin, they are beautiful indeed. "Up here," said a Negro to a friend of mine, "yo' don' have to carry your water, yo' just tu'n a handle." Even the older buildings are more pretentious if not really better than anything they have known in the rural South; and how the city life, nearly as free to the colored man as to the white, stirs their pulses! No people, either black or white, are really free until they feel free. And to many Negroes the first few weeks in a Northern city give them the first glimpses they have ever had of what they consider to be liberty. A striking illustration of this feeling came to my notice at Columbia, South Carolina. One of the most respected Negro men there—respected by both races—was a prosperous tailor who owned a building on the main street of the city. He was well to do, had a family, and his trade came from both races. I heard that he was planning to leave the South and I went to see him. "Yes,' he said, "I am going away. It's getting to be too dangerous for a colored man down here." It was just after the Atlanta riot. "Where are you going?" I asked. "I think I shall go to Washington." he said. "Why Washington?" "Well, you see, I want to be as near the flag as I can." WHAT THE NEGRO LEASTLY BINDS IN THE BROMLEED LAND. But they soon begin to learn thinsg. It is true that the working-man can get high wages and the domestic servant is paid an amount which astonishes her, but on the other hand—a fact that some how never occurs to many of these people or indeed to the foreigners who come flocking to our shores—the living cost is higher. For his gaudy tenements the landlord extorts exorbitant rentals. Ignorance is ever roundly and mercilessly tazed. I saw a double house built for white people just on the edge of a Negro neighborhood and held at a rental of $18 a month, but not being able to secure white tenants, the landlord rented to Negroes for $25 a month. When he came North the Negro even though he had lived in cities in the South, as many of the immigrants have) never dreamed that it would require such an amount of fuel to keep him through the long Northern winter or that his bill for lights, water and everything else would be so high. And in the South many Negro families of the poorer sort are greatly assisted by baskets of food brought from the white man's kitchen and the gift of cast of clothes and shoes, to say nothing of tobacco and even money—a lingering loose survival of the relationships of slavery. But in the North the Negro finds himself in an intense industrial atmosphere where relationships are more strictly impersonal and business like. What he gets he must pay for. Charity exist on a large scale, as I shall show later, but it is the sharp inquiring, organized charity of the North. In more coming North to and a place where he will be treated more like a man and less like a reft, the Negro discovers that he must in the competitive struggle to which men of the working class are subjected in the highly devoid industrial system of the North In the south the great mass of Negroes have lived with their doors open, fireplaces have kept their homes ventilated, they could have the matter of sanitation to fresh air and sunshine. And the Negro's very lack of training for such an environment as that of the North causes him untold suffering. To save fuel, and because he loves to be warm and sociable, he and his family and friends crowd into one close room, which is kept at fever temperature, not by a heatthful fireplace, but by a tight stove. This, with the lack of proper sanitary conveniences, becomes a hotbed of disease. Even in mild weather I have been in Negro houses in the North where the air was almost unendurably warm and impure. I know of nothing more tragic than the condition of the swarming newer Negro populations of Northern cities—the more tragic because the Negro is so cheerful and patient about it all. I looked into the statistics closely in several of them, and in no instance does the birth rate keep pace with the death rate. They die off faster than they reproduce themselves, and if it were not for the immigration constantly rolling upward from the South the Negro population of the Northern cities would show a falling off. Consumption and the diseases of vice ravage their numbers. One of the ablest Negro physicians I have met, Dr. S. A. Furniss, who has practiced among his people in Indianapolis for many years, has made a careful study of conditions in a paper read before a medical association Dr. Furniss says. "The reports of the Indianapolis Board of Health show that for no month in the last ten years has the birth rate among Negroes equaled the death rate." [To be continued] ST. JOHN.

GEORGE DIXON'S SAD FINISH. Earned One-Nalf Million Dollars With His Hands; Died Penalties.

Lance and lampoon fighters stop their way and snatch when them way but they in some present them other man of and not exactly death from despair and in two years age when them was stranded more than he had ingested in more had eaten more than and poured down was he was at the game but more than Dixon had a real manage to be his name, and by Dixon who put hands to Dixon he wanted to to the Desert in his hitherto being on his birth in Haiti. N. S. Smith the son of his birth in 1859 when he was 12 years old he was sold. Until three years ago he bought immediately. He was one of the few fighters who never had time to follow to the stage. He was put against all stars and colors, but, still for more than ten years he held the featherweight championship of the world. He was never a diligent trainee nor did he take the host of one of himself. He loved the red light district and often remarked that he cared in thing to sing, but let the money at bourne him. From 1900 to 1900 was a long race for a pigstail to travel without ever asking a knot punch, but Dixon is gestated the distance, dissipation and all included. until he met Terry McGovern in Madison Square Garden in eight years ago. McGovern at that time was at his lost. He was known as "Terrible Torty" and he threw under punishment. Dixon at that time was in no shop for a fight with the terrible one but game as ever he buckled into the tray and for five rounds he fought in his old time term. In the sixth round he was "all in" and the crowd urged O'Banks to "throw up the sponge" but Dixon wouldn't stand for it. "Let me go in," he told O'Banks. "I'll come back." But his stamina was gone and under a metamorphosis of blows he went down to defeat by the knockout touch to the first time in his life. The finish in the eighth round. After me defeat at the hands of M. Gowan Dixon came a precious living but two years he tried to make a good of the fighting game in this country but he was a mark to second rate. He still retained his oldtime charm but his puns were missing. Then he went to England for two years he battled about with indifferent success meeting dudes" and champions with about the same result. He was not knocked out in England but he lost seven decimals. Dixon returned to the country about three years ago but the fighting same was through with him. He could not even get a preliminary engagement. A number of friends went out to him but the money went to him. About two months ago he went to work for the team in its battleship hotel for little Chocolate missed the battle lights of the always and returned to New York and destination.

The only trace of an custom blood in her ancestry is from the white husband at a truck barn born "princess" of which Miss Wanik claims to be a descendant. But her ancestors of recent generations were slaves and she herself was a truck girl.

And don't fill out legal papers or card memos or make out accounts or hotel menus in your own handwriting. It looks bad, reflects on your standing, makes people think you can't afford a stenographer, and is sometimes ambiguous. You can write your letters—make out an abstract—fill in an insurance policy enter your card monos make out your accounts, or a hotel menu—do any kind of writing you need, on any kind size of thickness of paper, and spice any way you want on You can write any of those things yourself if you do not happen to have a stenographer. For you can easily learn, with a little practice, to write just as rapidly, and as perfectly, as an expert operator on the OLIVER. Because the OLIVER is the simplified typewriter. And you can see every word you write. About 80 per cent more durable than any other type writer, because it has about 80 per cent less wearing points than most other type writers. fighty per cent easier to write with than these other complicated, intricate machines that require "humming" technical knowledge, long practice and special skill to operate. Than machines which can not be adjusted to any special space—with which it is impossible to write abstracts, insurance policies, or old sized documents except you buy expensive special attachments requiring experts to operate. You can adjust the OLMPR to any reasonable space you can wish on any reasonable size and thickness of paper, right out to the very edge, without the aid of any expensive attachment or special skill and your work will be neat up, logible and clear. for the OLIVER is the typewriter for the doctor the lawyer the insurance agent the matron, the hotel propietor or any man who does his own writing Write us now for our booklet on the combined features of the OLIVER.
