Tho Oregonlnn says,
in part:
"Tho rnco question has becomo n
fixed Idea with him. Ho can think of
nothing oIho, apparently, nnd oven
upon this ono paramount themo ho
cannot think rationally. At times
Mr. Pago's language becomes Inco
herent; throughout It Is cxtrnvogant,
boastful nnd wild. Most of tho nr
tlclo Is a vague sort of rhapsody,
somewhat In tho mniinor of Kipling,
ovor tho 'gront whlto rnco.'
"For ono thing ho resolutely Im

not so. Moro thnn two-thirds of tho

them with feeble formality, but In i
ronllty ho thinks tlioy nro doing n'
grout sorvlco to civilisation, slnco by
burning and torturing negroes thoy
protect tho rnco purity of tho whites.
Tim flirt that most of tho lynchlngs
hnvo nntlilng to do with tho 'social
equality' problem does not disturb
Mr. Pngo In tho least. Having In
vented his promises, ho stickles not
to nhtde by his conclusion. In Ja
maica, whoro negroes nro moro num

thero Is uo outcry about social equal

one Is happy to add, thorn uro nn I
