WHY SO MANY
Good Grocers
■ SELL SO MUCH
ROBIN RED BREAST
FLOUR
The Heart of The Grain Plus The Art of The Brain.’
Your grocer will tell you that Robin Red Breast
Flour is the best selling flour he has eves sold. He will
also tell you that the best housekeeers demand it in
preference to any other and that he knows it to be of
such uniform excellence that he is quite willing to re
fund you your money if you are not entirely satisfied.
The reason is simple—we stand back of every ounce of
Robin Red Breast Flour—we absolutely guarantee it
to be the best flour money can buy, even though the
price is no higher. Next time you want flour, ask your
grocer to sell you Robin Red Breast! He will be glad to
do it and he’ll appreciate you asking for it because he
knows that every time he sells it *o you he is making
stronger the tie that binds your business to him.

Dr. Brough’s Attitude
ON THE NEGRO QUESTION
He is not in sympathy with separate schools, separate churches nor
separte cars for Whites and Negroes.
He is in favor of Negroes holding political positions in the South and
in Arkansas.
He severely criticises the Southern church people.
He is in favor of Negroes serving on juries in Southern States.
He is not in harmony with the Southern farmers and is severly criti
cised by the largest farm paper in the South.
Read the Arkansas Gazette of January 3, 1915,
which published Dr. Brough’s annual report of the
“University Commission on The Southern Race Ques
tion.” Dr. Brough commenced his report by stating
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 slav
ery he continued as follows:
“This close social contact of the races has now al
most entirely diappeared. In the Southern States gen
erally there are today no points of social contact what
ever where the two races meet and exchange ideas.
Separate schools, Separate churches, separate tele
phons, the Jim Crow law, restrictions of the ballot, not
to mention anti-negro political agitation in at least two
of the States, have produced an alienation of the two
races without a parallel. Everywhere throughout the
the South, despite the physical contact in a business
way, the two people live and move in totally different
worlds of thought and feeling. Ray Standard Baker,
in his interesting work, entitled, “Following the Color
Line,” states the situation admirably when he says that
the “best elements” in the two races are as far apart as
though they lived in different continents; and that is
one of the chief causes of the growing danger of the
Southern situation.”
Then Dr. Brough continued as follows:
“The effect of this social isolation of the negro is
of the greatest importance for both white and black.
The closing of the door of equality of opportunity to
the negro, and his persistent intellectual and moral
pauperization must in the end react upon the civiliza
tion of the white.”
The association between whites and negroes dur
ing the day of slavery, which Dr. Brough regrets, has
been in a measure discontinued, and was quite a dif
ferent thing to the kind of association that would exist
if his ideas upon this proposition should prevail today.
In ante-bellum times negroes and whites did not associ
ate as equals. Negroes were not clamoring for social
equality; they did not presume on any 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 .You will note
that he lays a severe indictment against the southern
people when he charges that they have closed the door
of equality of opportunity to the negro.
From the quoted statements, we reach the conclu
sion, and there can be no other conclusion), that Dr.
Brough is in favor of social equality ;that he is opposed
to the Jim Crow law and is in favor of its repeal so
that the negroes may ride in the same coaches with
whites; that he is oppossed to separate schools for
whites and blacks and is, therefore, in favor of their
consolidation; that he is opposed 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 to treat the negro
as they should be treated, and the southern people and
the negro are satisfied. About the only trouble the
southern people have with the negro is when some
northern negro, educated in schools where whites 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 undertakes to agitate social equality
We also have the following language, taken from
this famous report of Dr. Brough’s.
“In 1914 there are over 4,000 negroes in the Gov
ernmest Postal Sesvice; altogether there are 22,500
negroes in the employ of the U. S. Government. Their
annual salaries are approximately twelve and a half
million dollars.”
Dr. Brough boasts of the fact that there are 22,
500 negroes on the Government pay roll, when every
one knows that these negroes were put on the Govern
ment pay roll by a Republican Administration, that
most of them are in the northern states, and tha it was
done solely for the purpose of controlling the negro
vote in the doubtful states. The Doctor knows that
the southern people will not now, nor will they ever,
tolerate the negro holding office in the south, and that
the entire south resented the appointment of a negro
postmistress at Indianola, Mississippi, by Roosevelt.
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 cent per member is
doing our share in evangelizing the whole race? God
pity the southern Christians, the southern churches and
the southern state if we do not awake to our responsi
bility in this hour of opportunity.”
It appears that further on in his address Dr.
Brough could see a silver lining to the black cloud be
cause he stated that the problem of race adjustment
are becoming less acute, and in support of his state
ment said that negroes frequently serve on juries m
Southern states. The facts are that about the only time
the negro serves on a jury in Southern states is in fed
eral courts presided over by Republican Federal judges
and that is always resented by southern people.
When the so-cailed University Commission on the
Southern Race Question was organized, they wanted
some one to spend their money that was in sympathy
with their movement and in harmony with their ideas.
Dr. Brough was the best man they could find in Ark
ansas—in fact, the best man they could find in the
south—hense they made him Chairman of the Commis
sion, which, as stated, has for its object showing the
white folks of the south how to handle the negro ques
tion. He stated further:
“Social solidarity is inexorable. Segragation in
the departments of public 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 Farmer,’ in my humble
opinion, proposed as a means of giving the white man
a better chance in agricultural and industrial competi
tion with the negro, seems a travesty upon Anglo-Sax
on superiority and an injustice to the negro.”
THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
which has 200,000 subscribers among the farmers of
the south, and which has offices at Birmingam, Ala.,
Raleigh, N. C., Dallas, Tex., and Memphis.Term.,andiss
recognized as the largest farm paper in the south,
criticised severely part of Dr. Brough’s report and in
speaking of this Commission of which Dr. Brough was
chairman, had the following to say:
LAND SEGREGATION BETWEEN THE RACES
“ 1 here’s another thing that is coming, men and
brethren, and that no power on earth can stop, and
that is Land Segregation Between the Races—a plan
lor permitting rural white communities that wish to
remain white to keep themselves white.
It is not a plan tor compulsory NegroSegregation
by large districts, but a plan for voluntary white segre
gation by neighborhoods.
“It does not propose any unfairness to the negroes,
it aims only at fair and equal chance for the whiteman'.
“And this brings us to a further word of explana
tion. I)r. Charles Hilman Brough, of the University
of Arkansas, is president of a so-called‘Universitj Com
mission on Southern Race Questions.’ whose members
southern college professors, met in Washington City a
tew days ago, called on Preident Wilson, and figured
conspicuously in the Washington papers and in the As
soriated Press dispatches.
'It is not fair for these gentlemen to send forth
their opinion as if they were the expression of the
Soutnern University men acting on their initiative and
with their expenses paid by themselves, or by southern
money, when the facts are that this ‘University Com
mission on the Southern Race Question, was organized
by gentlemen employed by northern money to work
tor pushing negroes forward in the south, and its ex
penses are paid from some of his funds.
“Now, we repeat that Dr. Brough and hi., Univer
sity associates may be just as honest and patriotic
southerners as,the^e “Jf*» but they ought not to want to
shoot from ambush. We can not believe that they want
to appear as a voluntary organization of representa
tive southern sudents of the race problem, when in
.act they were organized and are financed in the man
ner we ha\e just mentioned.
We have simply reproduced Dr. Brough’s remarks
and the criticism upon them hy a <rreat ionrn-.i
editor truly understands the negro race ’ ^
We submit that Dr. Brough could be of greater
service to his country if he would go north an(| J
cate the same kind of segregation of the races that we
have in the south than he can render by being elected
Governor of Arkansas and endeavoring to impose unon
our people his views of a question that we have al
ready settled and which will remain settled ,/ t •
tated by men like Dr. Brough. not
