Strike at the Root Of the Evil,

Exhibit No 5" Of the Texas peni-

interesting study. Under the head of
characteristics of convicts received

tai convict population Of 25s0 on the
first of November last, 1920 were white
and 1917 colored If we estimate the
states Total population At 100000,
about 10000 are colored and ,725, 900
white. This, then, shows ratio Of
one negro convict 10 every $50, while
the white ratio is one convict to 1915.

there are five times as many negroes

whites.

THE "FARM1NG WORLD"
Efforts Of Reporter to Answer Cor

Ef0m the ChIoag0 DNlly TTlhnne


A correspondent draws the attention
of the Tribune to the continued and
successful operation OF the Farming
World "premiumD game, and asks
'CHn the operator not be held liable
for using the United States mails for
Illegal purpOses?h Probably not,
though If the postofiice inspectors
inquired into the scheme the
result might be that the Farming
World mail would be stopped, and
that would be an end Of the whole
business.
The methods of the Farming World
operator were described in The
Tribune of Jan. %. The proprietor Of
this alleged paper proposes to obtain
$500 600 worth of adyertising-whete,

and out OF this fund he promises to
pay premiums ranging from g. to

An Extraordinary Proposition.

q
An Extraordinary Proposition,
The present discussion Of the rela.
ton Of the United States 10 foreign
countries, brought about by the recent
dynamite explosions and the belief
that this country is giving shelter TO
dynamite plotters, Is causing the En-
glish newspapers TO say some absurd
things Probably nothing more ex-
travagant, certainly not more novel,
has been written or said than IS con-
tanned in this extract from the
Pail Mall Gazette: "The doctrine
Of complete isolation, so long main
tanned by American statesmen,
has persisted. Minister Sasson's
presence and activity at the Berlin
conference on the Congo question
must be taken as a portent of things TO
come. America will continue to exert
great ana and increasing iofluencs
in the work Of pacifying Africa. The
republic will ere long claim admit
lance into the European Areopsgus
whenever dealing with questions per-
tanning TO interests outside the boun-
daries OF the European continent. En-
glands duty, therefore, is to make the
most Of this great fact. Blood is
thicker than water. The United
States is Englands natural ally.
After the federation of the Brit
ish empire there will remain for
British statesmen no task comparable
In Importance to the conclusion Of an
alliance between Great Britain and tn,

Englaud's lolns. This alliance viii b,
a. close and useful to the two great En-
glish-speakmg peoples as that between

II will be long time before thi
country can be brought to change it
traditional policy Of noninterferenc,
with affairs of foreign nations. W.

years Of national life without any on

A LITTLE noon FOR a BIG MAN.

The proposition to appoint Gen.
George B. Mcclellan of New Jersey
on the Greer county commission has
attracted considerable comment and
seems to meet with general .approba-
ton. There exists some doubt as to
whether he would accept the place, as
the salary ia but insignificant. Some,
however, think that this would be no
object, and that he would be willing
to take hold OF the matter in
order to render Texas Il
service The chief requisite of
tine commissioner will be "a thorough
knowledge Of the history Of the CIR
cumstances and details attending the
admission Of Texas into the Union,
and ~ the general was one Of the sur
veying party that ofiiciaIed in running
the boundaries then he possesses this

harmony with the claims of Texas to
Greer county, and parties interested
are urging him as one whose influence
would be potential in protecting its in
terests. II is rumored that there Is n
strong likelihood Of his appointment.
