"Mr. Duke before leaving Montgomer y signed a card disclaiming any intention of slandering Southern white women. The editor of the Free Speech has no disclaimer to enter but asserts instead that there are many white women in the South who would marr y colored men if such an act would not place them at once beyond the pale of society and within the clutches of the law. The miscegnation laws of the South only operate against the legitimate union of the races; they leave the white man free to seduce all the colored girls he can but it is death to the colored man who yields to the force and advances of a similar attraction in white women. White men lynch the offending Afro- American not because he is a despoiler of virtue but because he succumbs to the smiles of white women"
