The recent race. trouble in North

Of advice to the negroes on his

tention to the gravity of one of the
home problems which is quite as diff
cult of solution as the issues raised by
our new foreign policy. The negro
question concerns not alone the peace.
prosperity and happiness of the South,
but is of vital interest to the whole
country The states of Louisiana,
Mississippi and South Carolina have
already dsfranchised under legal
forms the black vote. Alabama and
North Carolina will undertake in like
manner to restrict the suffrage. and it
is probable that other states of the
South where the overwhelming senti-
ment demands white domination will
follow their example. The disfran-
lation will inevitably invite attention
to the apportionment in the new GEN.
suS and to the representation in Con-
gress OF those states where large
bodies of citizens have been disfran
chised. Even more important than
this governmental question is the So
cial problem. The future prosperity
of the South largely depends upon the
possibility of both races working har-
moniously together. To attain this
end patience, moderation. intelligence
and observation-disclosures are required of
the whites, and of the negroes self

Valuable Collection Presented to Lee
land Stanford University,

San Francisco Report
Charles Seymour, formerly United
States consul to Chira, recently presented
to Mrs. Stanford, of the Leland STAN
ford Jr., museum, a rare collection Of
800 Chinese coins. Some of them date
back almost to the time Of Noah and the
food, and they represent almost every
dynasty, from the fire-breathing "Shun,"
who reigned B. c.. 2215, to the present
weaklipg who has just been thrust from
his throne.
Numlsmatics was one of the hobbies of
the late Senator Stanford, and when
Stanford university was founded it's mu-
scum fell heir TO one of the rarest collec-
tons of coins in this country. It con-
tains coins Of nearly every age and from
every realm, money made from
rocks and shells to the coins of purest
gold. The late accession to the collection
is, therefore, greatly valued.
The oldest coin of the Chinese collection
bears the date B. c. G513 to B. c. 2435
This was the legendary period, known as
the age of five rulers, and this especial
coin bears the stamp of Ka5-Yang-
