Cope made some very valuable contributions on the subject of the Negro problem through the columns of a journal published in Chicago entitled "The Open Court." I take pleasure in giving a few excerpts from Professor Copes writings that have a special bearing upon the race problem as it exists in the United States. and upon the question of the removal of the Negro race to Africa: The people of the United States have to show mankind how order may be conserved consistently with the greatest amount of pcrsonal liberty. Ths we think is accomplished under our form of government. but all races are not equally capable of sustaining this relationship between order and freedom. In fact. what we know as the inferior racesthe Mongolians and Africanshave never made successful attempts to sustain republican forms of government. The Negro has conspicuously failed in all but absolute governments. whatever they may be in name. Let me digress for a moment to quote from another author for the purpose of emphasizing the thought developed by Professor Cope. namely. that the Negro has failed in all but absolute governments. that he has never made successful attempts to sustain republican forms of government.
