By legalizing intermarriage between the races in the entire country, and by the removal of race prejudice from your colored children. Tens of thousands of these children in every hamlet, every town, every city and obscure corner in the South demand this. These words we address to him who is the enemy of moral progress and social purity, in the advocacy of race integrity, thereby promoting the pernicious practice of illicit union and illegal children.

CHAPTER XVI

SCIENTIFIC ADAPTATION OF WHITE AND COLOR

A SUPERBLY MATED PAIR.-A superbly mated pair is well illustrated in J. Roland, Ph. D., a slight, pale, nervous Mental Temperament, and Rosaline, a strong, dark Vital Temperament. He is vitally deplete, and consequently rendered powerless, physically, to sustain his large, fine-grained, sensitive brain; while hers is rather coarse, sluggish, slow to act, easygoing, but with considerable latent powers. In his presence her strong animal magnetism attracts him. He is vitalized, strengthened and enamoured powerfully by being with her, while she is equally benefited by him. He draws her up to a higher mental plane; causes her to refine her habits, increase her mentation, and build up a finer brain fibre in her thick African skull. This makes her more attractive generally, and especially to him, as her eye grows brighter, and her whole physiognomy glows with the intense interest she takes in their daily affairs with each other. She draws him down to her. He absorbs considerable of her surplus animal magnetism, which builds up his wasted frame, and causes new blood to course through his body as a consequence.

His fine brain becomes more active, and he some day discovers himself performing an unusual amount of mental and physical labor, such as he has not done in years. Both are immensely benefited by being scientifically mated to each other. Although he has all the signs of weak lungs and general debility, he is a man of considerable talent. Look at that high, protruding forehead, with the strong indication of large faculties of Comparison and Causality, the reasoning faculties of the mind. Also see the perceptive faculties well developed, and the constructive also well in the lead. This makes him a mechanical genius, a profound thinker with literary ability, and a very useful member of society. He is deficient in vitality. His backhead shows him to be more feminine than masculine in general characteristics, therefore he has strong love for children and home; but his procreative functions are too feeble to have any, save with one with an over-surplus of the animal nature to draw him to her and arouse and strengthen his enfeebled sexuality.

A MISMATED EXAMPLE. - As J. Roland, Ph. D., is naturally an attractive, refined gentleman, he would have had no difficulty in gaining the attention and finally also a kind of deeper regard and feeling in the heart of the fine, sensitive, Mrs. Dr. Summer.

Now for the sake of an argument, let us suppose that like likes like, and that he, as many other men of his type do, believed himself in love with her, regardless of their incompatibility, and proposed to her and she accepted him, as thousands before her have done and will do again.

* They get married. Bells are tolled, friends wish them a prosperous, happy journey through life; none wish them a happy prosperous lot of children. That would be immodest, vulgar, something to be ashamed of-a shower of rice and old shoes, and they are gone. In just one week he wishes himself back to his bachelor quarters, or something worse; and she just wishes she were dead! But then they are married, and must play married before the world, and make-believe. They are in this case too sensible not to remain friends, even real chums; but that is all. There could positively be no amatory attraction between these strong, Mental Temperaments, consequently no children can bless their union; and were it possible that a few were born, they would very likely be angels before their maturity, or live a little longer, a wretched martyr's life, paying the full penalty for their parents' sins. This is the old, old story of mismating, either through ignorance or else coolly, deliberately planned for convenience on the part of one or both. It would be
