Wheat Yield in Ensland.

In England the average yield Of wheat
is over thirty bushels the acre. but in this
country il is below fifteen bushels, the
difference being mainly due to the fact
that in Great Britain highly-productive
varieties of the grain have been secured
through long period of selection and
breeding

What IS needed is a better under
standing between the two sections.
That desiratum will be secured by
bringing together the leading men
Of both sections. The good that
will result from the meeting at
Philadelphia of the Southern Indus
trial Convention can not be over
estimated.
In the course Of his splendid ad-
dress to- the convention President
Hargrove said:
The Southern States contain one fourth
of the area of the Union, and the territory
has practically as great an agricultural pro-
duction the remainder of the country
combined. Its capacity in raw material is
almost beyond measurement. This section
has 80 per cent of the population of the
United States. 1t raises all of its cotton
! and cotton seed and American rice; so per
cent of ITS tobacco; contains 65 per cent of
its timber resources; 80 per cent of it's coal
area; 20 per cent of its coal production
produces II I-2 per cent of its iron and
furnishes 80 per cent of the American pig
iron exported; is the third largest cane.

DONG GOOD work.

Mr.. H. H. Hargrove, of Shreve-
port, has done more than any other
man in Louisiana for the industrial
development of the State. Mr..
Hargrove has labored INCREASINGLY,
not only for Louisiana but for the
whole South. In his address de-
ivered at the Southern Indu strial
Convention, recently held in Phila-
delphia, Mr. Hargrove presented
for the consideration of the business
men Of the North a brilliant array
of facts and figures, bringing out
conspiCuously the resources and
undeveloped wealth of the South.
Comparatively speaking >little of the
South is known in the North
For many years the northern capt.
talists haye seen the South through
the jaurdiced eve of a sectional
press. Conditions in the Southern
States were misrepresented and
seminated through the columns of
rabid newspapers. Fortunately the
sober minded men of the North have
turned deaf ear to the voice of
sectional hatred and both sections
are coming together in industrial
fellowship. if no' in political brother
hood. The North has the money
and the South has the raw material.

s. WHC VIII TAKE THE
WECRO'S Place."

Mr.. J. w. Dickinson, of Arkansas City.
Ark. has an article in the Cotton Planters
Take the Negroes Place?'' The writer
takes the position that the negro is dying
out and will soon disappear and that it will
be necessary to replace him with other ne
groes from, the West Indies and the Philip
pine Islands. AS the premise is without
foundation the reasoning falls by force of
logical gravity The negro is not decreas-
ing Except in capacity for labor.) In the
face of the race problem and the disaster it
has brought this country, and the Ger
taintv that trouble will follow it as long as
the races exist in juxtaposition. it seems
strange that any white person, unless ac
tuated by the basest motives of selfshness,
should desire to restore the present condi-
ton if i, should ever be changed for the
better If the negro race in this country
should settle this troublesome problem by
dying Out (Which they will very properly
fuse to do) no enemy OF our country could
wish il greater calamity than to- restore
the problem by importing negroes
Mr.. Dickinson declares that white
''cannot work land WHOSE soil is six ten
feet Deep White men do that very thing
good profits. On aluvial soils, drainage
and artesian water has settled the question
of healthfuIness for white men. Let the
farmers of the Mississippi delta try this plan.
The 'sncgrOs place is already S!taken,'
and Mr. Dickinson's great grandchildren
will find it fully occupied, Just as it is now,
when they will have the same difficulties
with the race problem that have the
present ume.---West Baton Rouge Sugar
Planter.
The Planter is quite right. The
negro race is not dying out and a
fresh importation will not be neces-
sary for several centuries to come.
Even If the negro were to become
extinct in the United States as Mr..
Dickinson aPprehends, it is not
probab bic that more negroes would
be imported. In the light Of history
it is incomprehensibIe how a white
man could advocate negro impor:a-
tion. There are few white people
who would not favor expectation if
it were practicabl BILE. Expectation
alone offers a true solution of the
race problem. Of course much can
be and is being done to ameliorate
the racial conditions in the South;
a magnanimous and patriotic course
and a spirit Of federation on the
part of the whites have been con-
ducive to the happiness Of both
races, but who doubts that 1t is in
the power of God alone to bring
about permanent and lasting peace
between the white and the black
man.

A gentleman whose memory ex-
tends as far back as the RECONSTRUCT
ton era expresses the belief that
the class of carpet-baggers who
pillaged the South were harmless
and inoffensive fellows compared
with the adventures who will feed
on the fat carcasses in the Philip
pines. The gentleman argues that
the Southern carPet-baggers had to
travel only a few hundred miles to
feed on the PROSTATE body of the
South, while the appetite of the
fellows who will go to the Philip
pines will be rendered unsuitable by
a long trip on the ocean, superin
duced by the helpless character of
the victims. If distance has any
thing to do with the venality Of the
carpet -bagger the poor Filipino is
indeed to be pitied.

city today from Agency, which, ac-
cording to their story, is the place
they have made their home for the
past few weeks. They had, besides
the harness which they were trying to
SELL another set of the same kind. a
horse and buggy, some laprobes and
two grips.
The men were brought to the police
station, where they were questioned
separately. The older one, who WIS
talked to first by the police, appeared
considerably excited, saying that he
was in hurry to get thru and attend
to his horse, which he said, had not
been fed at dinner time. Chief WI
liams, however, upon hearing the stor-
les told by the two prisoners, decided
that the horses needs could be salts
factorily looked after by one OF the
city's police, and accordingly the two
men were locked up
1t is said that the stories told BY the
two do not exactly hang together, and
that they are not definite concerning
what they have been doing the past
few weeks. They say their home
is in Prairie City, ILL.,, which state
ment is borne out by the fact that
their grips bear express tags billing
them from that place to West Point
this state. The man, it is said, claims
that the boy is his cousin, while the
boy, according to Chief Williams, says
they are brothers. However that may
be, they both say that they went from
Marshalltown to Agency at a time
which they do not agree upon, accord
ing to reports. They are equally un
certain as to the people with whom
they boarded while at Agency.
The man, according to his story
makes his living by breaking horses
He said this afternoon, after having
been arrested, that he had been told
that Agency was good place to break
horses, and went there for that rea
son. He further added that a set OF
breaking harness, which cost him $50
will reach him in a few days, and that
he would have had it in the buggy
with the harness he was attempting
to sell had there been room for it.
He seemed to be greatly surprised
that he should be arrested, but readily
submitted to being searched and i'm

: NOMINATED FOR ALDERMEN.


The Ottumwa republicans feel GER
tain of victory in the spring election.
Success is indicated in the selections
made in the primaries last night. The
best of men have been chosen to rep
resent the several wards in the city
convention to be held next Tuesday
|evening, and besides that the several
|aldermanic candidates are men to
whom no one can object when 1t
comes to the contest at the polls.
There is afstrong feeling that Dr. S.
A. Spilman will be chosen next Tues
day night to- head the ticket and to
make the race for the mayoralty. The
third ward republicans came out
strongly in his favor, and instructed
their delegation to work for his nomi-
nation. The second ward delegation
lis strictly of Spilman flavor, and it
lis understood that there will be no OPP
position to him anywhere. His unani-
nous nomination by exclamation next
Tuesday evening is said to be the next
thing to certainty.
