THE PLACE TO STUDY THE NEGRO
PROBLEM.

In an article printed in the New
York Journal on the negro problem Ira
Remson, president of Johns Hopkins
University, says that the place to study
that problem is the South. go where
the worst conditions exist" he says,
land make study of all of the en-
vironments. the tendencies and the
traits of the community" Further
along in his article he says: You can
not correct the negro situation in the
South from the NoHsh." In his opinion
nature and the Southern people will
eventually solve the negro problem.
It seems to US that President Remsen
shows great good sense in the views
which he expresses He realizes that he
does not know enough about the negro
problem to justify him in offering a
solution of it, and he does not think
that the Northern people generally
know enough about 1t to undertake it's
solution. While he does not offer any
advice to those Northern people who
are offering solutions of the problem.
il is plain, from what he says, that he
thinks they would be better fitted for
the task which they have imposed upon
themselves if they should go South and
study the problem from that stand
point.
1t is a fact worth noting in this con-
nection that Northern people who set
tie in the South experience a radical
change of opinion in respect to the
negro soon after they become estab-
lished in their new homes They see
the negro from another point of view
and one that gives them a better un-
Outstanding of the negro problem.
If those Northern critics who never
get tired of advising the South as to
the treatment that should be accorded
the negro, were to spend a year or 50
in Southern state, where they would
come into contact with the negro pop
ulation, we are sure that what they
would say on their return to their
homes would be very different from
what they are now saying. At present
they are writing about something con-
corning which they know little or
nothing, but they think they are thor
oughly informed. Let them take the
advice of President Remsen and they
will soon find out their mistake. After
all, the Southern people are the only
ones qualified to solve the negro pro-
blem. and they will solve it in good
time.

tons is that they will use their power
N so raise rates that they will be OPP
pressive To meet this danger IL Is
| probable that Congress will be strongly
urged to enlarge the powers OF the IN
terstate Commerce Commission so that
il will have a supervision OF the rates
If that commission had the right 10
SUPERVISE the rates, and to order them
reduced when in its judgment they
were too high, it is probable that the
public would be better satisfied with
the railroad situation than it is now
These great combinations of capital
are not of course going to antagonize
the public and bring down upon them
selves hostile legislation by putting up
their rates to a point that would cali
forth a general protest. 1t is worthy OF
notice that the United States steel
Corporation, generally known as the
billion dollar steel trust, has been very
conservative in it's prices ever since it
was organized. There have been occa-
sions when the demand for its pro-
ducts would have justified an increase
in its prices. but it withstood the
temptation. What it may do at some
future time under similar circum-
stances cannot be foretold. 1t will be
recalled, however. that the Standard
Oil Company, the most successful OF
the trusts, has pursued the policy OF
charging only such prices as the pub
lic saemad m regard as fair.
A question which is now being very
generally discussed in financial circles
is whether or not other railroad prop
critics will be consolidated, until all the
roads will be included in two or three
such combinations. Indeed, there is
speculation AS to whether they will not
all be brought into one great combina-
ton. If that should be done the agita-
ton in favor of government ownership
of railroads would no doubt be carried
on with increased vigor.
Government ownership Of the rail-
roads, however, is a question for fu-
ture consideration. Government con-
troll of them is a question for the pres
emit time. The Interstate Commerce
Commission is asking for control; is, In
fact, pointing out the necessity for it,
and there is undoubtedly very
strong public sentiment in favor of it.
Shippers would be better satisfied If
the commission had the right to say
when rates were too high and the pow
er to reduce them. That question is
pretty certain to come before the pres
ent Congress and be urged until that
body takes decisive action in respect
to it.

Army officers say the sword is DOOM
ed. For all practical purposes it might
be replaced by a baton or walking
stick. At present it serves only to des-
ignate the difference between officers
and men in the ranks. British expert
ence of late has been that the sword
is merely an incumbrance to foot off,
GERS, and of no use whatever to those
on horseback. No one, either afoot or
mounted, ever gets within slashing dis
lance of the enemy in modern warfare.
The sword is a relic of the old days
of hand conflict, when armies
came into actual collision with each
other and personal combat was liable
to occur at any time. However, there
is a strong sentimentality attaching to
the sword. What an officer in full
dress without a sword would look like
can only be conjectured. 1t is not like
ly, therefore, that the swords of our
officers will be at once beaten into
plowshares.

Two American girls from Philadel-

way to Turkey, where they hope to be
captured by bandits after the manner
OF the capture of Miss Helen Stone.
Presumably Misses Delaney and Stet-

that their only hope lies with the semi

At a meeting Of the Board Of Health
Monday. Il was decided to ask for the
resignation OF Secretary Charles VIII
cox The action of the Board was
kept as secret as possible, but It
leaked out yesterday through various
sources. The first intimation that Sec
Rotary Wilcox had OF the action OF
the Board was yesterday morning
when on coming TO his office to at
tend TO his duties he found type

the President Of the Board, DR.. c. B.
Cooper. informing him that his ser
vices as Secretary would terminate
from and after June 10th The cause
assigned in the letter for the removal
OF Mr. Wilcox was "for the good Of
the service"
There has been considerable fric-
ton between the new members OF the
Board and Secretary Wilcox for some
time and the matter of requesting his
resignation or removing him has been
privately discussed among the mem
bers OF the Board for several weeks.
They claim that the Secretary has

The action of the Board caused a
good deal OF discussion around town
and at the races yesterday. Mr.. VIII
cox's friends claimed that his removal
was largely because he was Ha-
waiian. They pointed out that he had
been an employee of the Board for
eleven years. having begun his SER
vice under the monarchy and having
been retained under all the subse-
quent changes. which in itself was a
recommendation of his fitness for the
post he holds. They asserted that e.
