grimly to test pile of knotty wood from which
thousands OF tramps had recoiled in terror; but
this exceptional tramp split the wood, piled it
neatly, cleaned up the yard and mended the fence

CoIOredl MORTALITY
J. ID. II.

The extraordinary mortality among the ne
grOcS OF the United States is beginning 10
arouse attention at the North, and the New
York Times asks shat the convention of the
c0lorcd people of North Carolina, now in ses-
sion AT Raleigh, shall consider what must be
done To decrease the alarming death rate. II
seems that in all the large cities where the ne
groes have congregated since the war the
average OF deaths among the blacks is at least
double and sometimes as much as five times us
great rs among the whites In Richmond, for
instance, IA white people and - negroes died
during the week ending August %, this year
while the deaths during the same week of las,
year were II whites and IS negroes Memphis
shows a record still more startling for during
1916 652 whites and 601 negroes died, which is
a much greater mortality for the negroes than
in Richmond because of the larger proportion
of white people in Memphis But while this
shows that very nearly four times as many ne
groes as whites died in 1876 the mortality re-
ports this year Indicate an increased death
rate among the doomed colored people rs
negroes and only 1913 white people having died
in Memphis during the months of July and
August last-a proportion of five negroes 10
one white man. the causes of This excessive
mortality are we'll understood; and. though the
matter is not political in itself the negroes
certainly have been brought to this dreadful
condition by politics. II they had been per.
mitted Ia remain in the agricultural districts.
instead of being encouraged in every way IL
herd in the cities for the use Of the party which
employed them as voting cattle, this terrible
death rate would never have occurrel.-S,.

ELECTIONS TO-DAY.


Elections are being held in California
and Vermont to day. The first named
State elects Legislative aud county OFF,
GERS and upon to-day's vote depends the
question of who shall be the successor
of A. A. Sargent, In the United States
Senate. Only few mouths ago Sar-
gents chances of reelection were sec-
cnd to those of no Republican in the
State of California, bat the disclosures
of his connection with the Federal
rings in that State. made by the San
Francisco Chronicle, have virtually
driven him from the field, aud there is
not in the State of California candi-
date for the Legislature who dares to
assert that Sargent is his first or last
choice for Senator. Though the State
went Republican at the Presidential
election last November, the Democrats
are sanguine of electing a sufficient
number of their Legislative nominees
20 give them control of the next Legis-
lature.
Vermont elects full State ticket, in
Guiding Governor, but unless there is
wide spread disaffection among the Re-
publicans, no Democrat need expect to
be elected in that State.

WHY MAKE A DISTINCTION IN

John B. Winters, who holds the COM
mission of Major General of the Neva-
da State Militia is no longer citizen of

tention to this fact and suggests that
Governor Bradley demand his resigna-
ton AMI appoint somebody else to sue

making a distinction in the case of
General Winters on the grounds of his
being non resident. Both the United
States Senators from Nevada are now,
and were at the time of their election,
non residents of Nevada, and unless
their resignation is demanded with that
