Light Ahead For The Negro by E.A. Johnson. THE author dedicates
this work to the thou sands of sympathetic and well wishing friends
of the Negro race. He is trying to show how the Negro problem can
be solved in peace and good will rather than by brutality. His idea
is that the Golden Rule furnishes the only solution. He believes
that at the bottom of southern society there is a vein of sympathy
and helpfulness for the Negro and that this feeling should be
cultivated and nourished that it may grow stronger and finally
supplant harsher sentiments. There are two factions striving for
the mastery of the south to-day, one seeking political power on the
idea that Negro manhood is to be crushed and serfdom established,
and the other willing that the Negro should have a freeman's chance
and work out his destiny as best he can with the powers God has
given him. This faction is ready to give its sympathy and help, and
it is the efforts of this class that the author desires to endorse
and encourage. The story weaved into the work is subordinate to the
discussion of facts, and not paramount; it is intended to be mild,
thus putting it in keeping with the character of the heroine whose
deeds it portrays; and should the day ever come when America can
arise to the height of adopting and following her sentiments, it
will then indeed be the Sweet land of liberty, for the black as
well as the white man. E. A. JOHNSON.
