AND IN ARKANSAS.
CRITICIZES CHURCH PEOPLE
N*t In Sympathy With Separate
School*, Churches, Nor Cars for
Whites and Negroes—Severely
Criticized by Papers in South.
The Arkansas Gazette of January 3,
1915, published Dr. Brough’s annual
report of the "University Commission
on the Southern Race Question.” Dr.
Brough commenced his report by stat
ing that "A condition, not a theory,
confronts us in the South,” and after
speaking of how much the white peo
ple and negroes were together during
the days of slavery, he continued as
follows:
"This close social contact or mo
races has now almost entirely disap
peared. In the Southern States gen
erally there are today no points of so
cial contact whatever where the two
races meet and exchange Ideas. Sepa
rate schools, separate churches, sepa
rate telephones, the Jim Crow law,
restrictions of the ballot, not to men
tion violent anti-negro political agita
tion in at least two of the states,
have produced an alienation of the
two races without a parallel. Every
wheri'TiiroughouT the‘South, despite;
the physical contact in a business
way. tee two people live and move n
totally different worlds of thought and
feeling, and that la one of the chief
causes of the growing danger of the
Southern situation."
Dr. Brough continued as follows:
"The effect of this social Isolation
of the negro Is of the greatest im
portance for both white and black
The closing of the door of equality
of opportunity to the negro, and his
persistent intellectual and moral pau
perization must in the end react upon i
the civilization of the white.”
The association between whites and
negroes during the days of slavery, i
which Dr. Brough regrets, has been in ,
a measure discontinued, and was quite
a different tiling to the kind of asso- ■
ciation that .would exist n his ideas1
upon this proposition should prevail.
today. In ante helium time negroes
and whites did not associate as equats j
Negroes were not clamoring for so
rial equality; they did not presume
on sny kindness shown them, or take
advantage of any familiarity with
them as they would today if the close
social contact should prevail that is
advocated by Dr. Brough.
Krom the quoted statements, nr;
reach the conclusion. (and there ran
be no other conclusion), 'that Dr
Rrough is in favor of social equality:
that he is opposed to the Jim Crqu
law and is in favor or Ur repeal sr
that the negroes may ride in the samr
coaches with the whites; that he t«
opposed to separate schools for whites
and blacks, and is, therefore, in favor
of their consolidation; that he is op
posed to separate churches for whites
and blacks and is, therefore, in favor
of the whites and blacks belonging to
and going to the same church.
The Southern people know how’ re
treat the negro as they should hr
treated, and the Southern people and
the negro are satislled. About the
only trouble the Southern people have
with the negro is when some North
ern negro, educated in schools where
whiter and blacks go together, who
worships where whites and blacks
worship together, comes south and
stirs up trouble among the negroes
or when some fanatical dreamer un
dertakes to agitate social equality in
the Southern States.
We also have the following lan
guage, taken from this famous report
of Dr. Brough:
‘‘In 1914 there are over 4.000 negroes
tn the Government Postal Service; al
together there are 22.500 negroes in
the employ of the U. S. Government.’
Dr. Brough boasts of the fact that
there are 22.500 negroes on the gov
ernment payroll, when everyone
knows that these negroes were put on
the government payroll by a Republi
can adminfstration; that most of them
are In the Northern States, and that
It was done solely for the purpose ol
controlling the neg'-o vote in the
doubtful states. The Doctor knows
that the Southern people will not
now, nor will they ever, tolerate ihe
negro holding office In the South, and
that the entire South resented the
appointment of a negro pos mistress
at lndianola, Mississippi, by Roose
velt.
He said further;
“Again, it may be fairly urged that
the white churches of the South have
been pursuing a ‘penny wise and
pound foolish’ economy in dealing
with the moral religious uplift of the
members of the weaker race. Do we
mean to say that one per cent per
member is doing our share in evange
lizing the whole race? God pity the
Southern Christians, the Southern
churches and the Southern States it
we do not awake to our responsibility
in this hour of opportunity. The
Methodists averaged less than the
price or a cheap soda water, and the
seuting over 8.000,000 whi'e i; ' i '3,
asked only one-half cent per member
for this tremendous work.”
It appears further on in his address
Dr. Brough could see a silver lining tc
the black cloud because he stated that
the problems of race adjustment art
becoming less acute, and in support
of his statement raid that negroes fre
quently serve on juries in Southern
States. The facts are that about the
only time the negro serves on a jurj
in Southern States is in Federal
courts, presided over by Republican
Federal judges, and that it Is always
resented by Southern peer's.
When the so-called University Com
mission on the Southern Race question
was organized, they wanted someone
to spend their money that was in sym
pathy with thpir movement and in
harmony with their ideas. Dr. Brough
was the best man they could find in
auar.agg^rjen
Arkansas—Th fact, the" best man they
could find in the South—hence they
made him chairman of thecommisaion,
which, as stated, lias for its object
showing the white folks of the South
how to handle the negro question.
He stated further:
"Social solidarity is inexorable Se
gregation in the departments of pub
lic service, railway and street cars,
and even in cities, may be exceedingly
just, but the idea of farm segregation
as proposed by Clarence Poe, editor
of 'The Progressive Parmer,’ in :ny i
humble opinion, proposed as a means
of giving the white man a better
chance in agricultural and Industrial \
competition with the negro, seems a .
travesty upon Anglo-Saxon superiority
and an injustice to the negro.”
Progressive Farmer Criticizes Brough's
Opposition to Land Segregation.
The Progressive Farmer, which has
200,000 subscribers among the farm
ers of the South, and which has offices
at Birmingham, Alabama, Raleigh,
North Carolina, Dallas, Texas and
Memphis, Tennessee, and is recogniz
ed as the largest fn-rn paper in the
South, had the following to say:
“There’s another thing that is corn-.
Ing, men and brethren, and that no
power on earth can stop, and that is
land segregation between the races—
a plan for permitting rural white com
munities that wish to remain wUte
to keep themselves white.
“It is not a plan for compulsory ne
g#o segregation by large districts, but
a plan for voluntary white segregation
by neighborhoods.
“It does not propose any unfairness
to the negroes; it alms only at fair
and equal chance for the white man.
“And this brings us to a furtner
word of explanation. Dr. Charles Hill
man Braugh, of the University of Ar
kansas. is president of a so-called
‘University Commission on Southern
Race Questions,” whose members,
Southern college professors, met In
Washington City a few days ago, called
on President Wilson, and figured con
spicuously in the Washington pape’-s
and in the Associated Press dis
patches.
“It is not fair for these gentlemen
to send forth their opinion as If they
were the expression of the Southern!
university men acting on their initla-;
live and with their expenses paid by |
themselves, or by Southern money, i
when tne facts are that the ‘University
Commission on the Southern Race
Question’ was organized by gentlemen
employed by Northern money to work
for pushing negroes forward in the
South, and its expenses are paid from
some of his funds.
“Now, we repeat that Dr. Brough
and his university associates may be
just as honest and patriotic South
erners a« there are. but they ought not
to war* to shoot from ambush. We
cannot bcdeve that they want to ap
pear as a voluntary organization of
representative Southern students of
the race problem, when in fact they
were organized and are financed in
the manner we have just mentioned.”
The Brough Family of Hillmans and
• Brough* Were All Strong Ne
gro Sympathizers.
Dr. Brough's Washington speech,
delivered in January, 1915, extracts
from which are published herewith,
convicts him of being a fanatic on
Negro equality.
1 did not say that his father was
an officer in a Negro regiment, but
did s.ay that he was a Union soldier
in the loth Pennsylvania Cavalry,
which the doctor admits in his paid
advertisements. History shows that
he came South to Mississippi the
same time that thousands of others
flooded the Southern States as car
pet baggers.
He talks about Dr. Walter Hillman
and Mrs. Hillman, who reared him
and for whom he was named . T have
personal letters from Mississippi
from responsible Southern people wbo
say that the Hillmans were very ou
ter in their remarks on the negro
question before the Clinton riots of
September 8th, 1875. A committee of
Southerners called upon them and in
sisted that they discontinue agitating
negro equality.
John Brough, the Republican War
Governor of Ohio in 1K04-G5, was an
uncle of Dr. Charles Hillman Brough.
Ohio organized 319 regiments of
Union soldiers of 1,000 soldiers to the
regimen;., which had much to do in
crushing the Southern S'ates. This
information will be found in any Ohio
history.
The facts are that the Doctor and
his whole Tamily were Northern Ne
gro sympathizers and are entirely
out of line with the Southern people^
both Pemocrats and Republicans.

French Agriculture.
Since the outbreak of the war the
French government has been fully
alive to the paramount importance of
the agricultural problem, which has
been rendered all the more difficult
of solution by the drain which the
general mobilization made upon labor.
In spite of the great sacrifices made
by the women of France, who, since
the war began, have undertaken agri
cultural work nitherto performed by
men. there was lor a long period a
serious lack 01 hands This has bor n
remedied to a great extent by the
initiative of M. Mitlerand, the min
ister of war, who put at th» disposal
of farmers territorial troops and the
men in the depots who are unfit for
the fighting line. Permission has also
been granted to men in the trenches
to return to the farr,j„ lor seed time,
while In the zone of the armies offi
cers in command have ordered sol
diers to render help to tarmers when
ever possible.
