Instead of prisons, we have a section of Patagonia set apart for the criminal element." "And the negro?" asked Dawson. "How about him?" "The negro, Mr. Dawson, if the histories say rightly, was an awful problem for a great many years. He had so many good points and so many bad that no one knew exactly what to do about him.
