Not the least alarming phase Of the
situation in South Africa is the fact
that the black natives out-number the
whites in the proportion of twelve to
one. In the~case of a prolonged con-
flict~ between the Beers and the Eng
fish the attitude. of the natives ia al
together uncertain. In Cape Colony
there are 100000 white residents and
four times that number of blacks. The
white population of the Transvaal is
estimated at 250, 900, as compared with
$50. 900 natives. In Natal the total
number of whites is not more than
10000, while the blacks number $780,
600. In the Orange Free States the
blacks outnumber the whites in the
%nroportion of nearly three to one. In
Rhodesia there are 1000, 900 natives
and a white population which rela.
lively amounts to nothing. In British
central Africa $4,000 blacks are OPP
posed to a tiny band of not more than
200 English soldiers. In fact. all
through South Africa the negro prob
lem is likely to grow in importance
during the continuance Of hostilities.

Heavy feeders on animal food are
predisposed to all kinds of inflamma-
tory disorders, and when any such
person finds himself getting out Of
condition he may safely hedge in the
matter of flesh food, cutting down the
amount of such food or emitting 1t
altogether with perfect safety. A
strict vegetarian diet, even, cannot be
called an experiment. since we know
that millions Of people thrive on 1t,
and no one could ever starve on it.
With fruit. nuts. milk and eggs added,
no lack of variety need be felt. The
Japanese are a healthy, handsome
race. They are plump and hearty, but
little beyond simple vegetarian diet is
the rule there. The rikisha men walk
and trot forty miles a day with a
seated passenger and seem proof
against fatigue and they thrive or .
diet chiefly of rice. 8.

1t seems quite likely that the Pres
byterian church. North, will be called
upon again to consider a revision of
the Westminster confession Of faith.
From various parts of the country
come statements made by Presbyter-
Ian clergymen advocating revision or
a new creed. The venerable DR.. Theo-
dore L. Cuyler Of New York, who has
been considered a conservative, is one
of the latest to declare that there are
certain parts of the confession in
which he does not believe. Notable
among the overtures from presby-
teries asking for revision is a petit
ton from the p%resbytery Of Nassau.
N. Y, praying the general assembly
to formulate a short and simple creed
which would unite and not divide"
and which would be acceptable to the
church."

While it would have been crafty
ing to many friends of Senator Quay,
to have him seated by the senate,
they have what satisfaction is to be
gained from the bare refusal of the
senate to seat him. The question in
volved in his case deserved an ex-
preston of the senate. and a more
decisive one would have been prefer
able. A difference of two votes is too
small to give emphasis such as ought
to be given in deciding one way or
another.
