UNCLE SANS POPULATION.

The center of population in the
United States presents a peculiar
study, and one worthy of much con-
sideration on the part Of those in
terested in the destinies of the ma
ton. Briefly the center of popula-
ton has shifted as follows: In 1870
it was about twenty-nine miles east
Of Baltimore In 1900 it had mov-
ed eighteen miles west of Baltimore:
in 1910 it had moved again forty
miles northwest by west Of Wash
ington; in 1920 it had moved to six
teen miles north of Woodstock. Vir-
ginia; in 1880 it had moved west
ward and southwark within nineteen
miles of Moorefeld, West Virginia;
in 1910 it had changed again to a
point sixteen miles south of
Clarksburg, West Virginia; in 1850
it had reached point twenty-three
miles southeast Of Parkersburg, w.
Va; in 1860 it had moved to a
point twenty miles from Chillicothe.
Ohio; in 1870 it had reached a point
forty-eight miles east by north Of
Cincinnati; in 1880 it shifted back
to the same point that it was in
1860; in 1890 it had moved back
northward to point it occupied in
1870. During the past decade the

REORGANIZATION.

Speaking about the reorganization
of the army, the following has been
reported from the war department.
Under the new law the United
States army will consist of 2,783 Of
ficers and 74,5O4 enlisted men.
There will be 15,84O men in the
cavalry, 1902 in the artillery, 35,-
$50 in the infantry and 1882 in the
engineer corps. This it is thought
will be sufficient for any emergency
that the United States may be call
ed upon to settle in war, or at least
sufficient to hold in check any trou-
Bile that may be reported, either from
within or without. At present there
are $4,000 regulars in the Philip
pines, and it is proposed to retain in
the Philippines 10000 Of that So
600 and send 10000 new recruits
over. Ten thousand soldiers will be
brought from China, and thus it is
seen that 10000, American troops,
who far the past two years have seen
hard service in China and the Phil
ippines, will again be returned to
the United States for rest and recre-
alton.

NEGRO ENTERPRISES.

The following excerpt is taken
from paper edited by a colored
man: ''The Negro should support
his own enterprises. No excuses are
now accepted, as he has been free
long enough to learn a few things" +"
Perhaps he has learned few things,
and perhaps he has learned to not
support enterprises simply because
they are run by Negroes, when such
enterprises are wholly without merit.
There is no denying the fact that
Negroes should support meritorious
enterprises, conducted by Negroes,
but it often happens that enterprises
conducted by Negroes are conducted
in such manner as to be only accept
able to Negroes. When Negroes have
enterprises they should be so con-
Quoted as to attract one man as well
as another, irrespective of the ma
tionality of the man; then Negroes
should take a pride in patronizing
such enterprises, and it is more than
likely that they will do so, their edu-
cation and training to oppose Negro
enterprises to the contrary notwith-
standing.

WHY NEGROES DIE.

From an exchange it is learned
that the mortality among the color
ed people Of Baltimore, Maryland,
during the year 1900 was three times
greater than among the whites. This
is a deplorable state Of affairs and
the Negroes Of that city should see
to it that such be not the case during
the present year or any subsequent
year. They can do so if they only
will, for the alarming death rate
among them arises from the fact that
they willfully and maliciously ex-
pose themselves, catch colds, dis
eases and consumption and Of course
are short lived. There is no excuse
for men and women throwing them
selves away by exposure and ques-
tionable pleasures, simply because
they have the time and occasionally
the money to indulge in such. Even
IN the far West the death rate among
certain classes Of the cOlored people
is very great, and it is so simply be-
cause no class Of citizens expose
themselves by night and by day as
they do. An ounce of precaution is
worth a ton of cure.

LAWS NOT OBEYED.

There seems to be a sad lack OF
the enforcement of the laws enacted
by the legislature in the various
states Of the Union at present. 1t
matters not how good the law is or
how stringent it may be on persons
who break it, if the officers Of the
law do not enforce them as they find
them on the statute books, the laws
become as salt without SAVIOR
worthless, a dead letter on the stat
ute books. Just why municipalities
are permitted to override state laws,
made by legislatures and signed
by the governors, is very difficult
question to explain, even for those
who think themselves we'll versed in
legal matters, yet from New York
to Seattle this is true, and so flag
rantly are state laws being violated
that law and order leagues have been
formed in most Of the large cities in
the United States, with the express
view and purpose of bringing the
people back to their senses in having
the laws of the land enforced,
whether it be against the rich or the
poor, the weak or the strong, the in
significant or the influential. A
great crusade is on in this direction,
and it is hoped that before the pres
ent year expires great good will have
been accomplished by that class Of
American citizens, who believe in
the enforcement Of the laws as they
are found on the statute books, in
the city as well as in the country,
and in the country as well as in the
city.

such newspapers than they do Of the
same class Of newspapers run by
men Of other races. 1t is hardly fair
for newspaper man to put out a
miserable, measly, dirty-lookilg
sheet and expect men of his race
to fall over themselves to support
such paper because it is edited by a
colored man; but when decent, up
to-date weekly is put out by coloc-
ed man, and the same seeks in every
manner it knows how to better the
condition of the colored folk, then II
seems nothing more than right and
proper that the colored folk them
selves help out as much as they can
in a financial way, and, if they d.
not care to contribute in that wav,
then there would seem to be no spe-
cial need for them to unduly critici se
the paper because they do not agree
with its policy, or socially agree with
its editor. A small amount of crit
icism is always desirable, but too
much Of it runs the thing in the
ground.

MRS. GAGE DEAD.

Coming as it did when Mrs,
McKinley's life was hanging in
a balance and when the whole ma
ton was suspended in agony, ex-
pecting every moment to hear of her
death, it was remarkable that at that
very time Mrs. Secretary Gage
should succumb to a long-continued
illness and have died on the very
day that Mrs. Mckinley was report
ed dying. Mrs. Lyman E. Gage,
who has been one Of the foremost
women of the United States since
the birth of the Mckinley admins
tration, passed away last Friday and
was buried Monday. Truly the
president and his official family
have had grievances enough in hav-
ing to mourn the serious sick
ness and death Of lamented ones.
Mrs. Mckinley is reported out of
danger at present, and will be able
at no distant day, it is generally
hoped, to return to the White House
and it is further hoped that the trip
to the coast will, after all, be Of
much help toward restoring her to
good health again.

SEPARATE SCHOOLS.

Recently the Italians of Seattle
petitioned the school board of this
city to grant them a special school
house with teachers, to which they
could send their children without
any encroachment on the part of the
white children. Just such foolish
move as this was once made by the
colored people in various parts of
Kansas and other Western states,
which states were opposed to separ-
ate schools, but these colored people
clamored for separate schools, to
which their children could go and
be taught by colored teachers.
Though the white people did Ill
they could to prevent it, nothing
would do the colored citizens but to
have them, and have them they did;
and as a result of having them civil
rights cases are now pending in most
Of the courts of those states to co i
pei the school boards to permit the
colored children to go to the school
nearest their homes, whether sucn
be maintained for white or colored
children. The Italians might learn
a lesson from this and let well
enough alone.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS.

The many persons interested in
the Christian Endeavor work in this
city were greatly pleased to meet the
founder Of that organization, DR..
Francis E. Clark, in Seattle last
Monday. It was in 1881 that DR..
Clark organized the Christian En-
deaVor movement in the city of Bos-
ton, which has had most marvellous
growth. 1t is an auxiliary to the
Congregational church, but young
persons Christ-like inclined take an
active interest in the organization,
whether they be members of the
Congregational church or any other
religious denomination AS said
above, it has enjoyed most miracu-
lous growth, and it has spread not
only throughout the United States,
but to all points of the civilized
world, even to China and Japan. DIR.
Clark was the guest Of the Christian
Endeavor while here and was enter
tanned In a most royal manner by the
local members thereof.

SHIRT WAIST BOYS.

If it be true that the postofice
employees of this city are to appear
on the streets in the much-talked Of
shirt waists, they will not be doing
much more than the postofice en-
ployeS in some of the larger Eastern
cities. 1t is noted in the city Of At
lanta, Ga, that the postoffice boys
will deliver the citizens mail in shirt
waists Of the most exquisite as well
as artistic style. 1t is claimed that
the boys will be more comfortable
during hot days in this garb than in
the usual postal uniform. While the
shirt-waist man, like the short-skirt
bicycle girl will for some time be
quite a novelty, yet the men and wo-
men of this age have learned to make
themselves comfortable in their own
form of dress, whether it be in keep
ing with forms Of custom or not.
Perhaps it was not more than two
decades ago that had woman ap-
peared on the streets with her dress
to the knees, she would be arrested
for indecent exposure, which, by the
way, at present is simply considered
comfort, and while in this garb she
may attract the continued gaze of
idlers and loafers, yet men Of bust
ness and good judgment pay no
more attention to her than if she
had on trailing gowns. It is there
fore surmised that the same spirit
will be shown for the men who don
shirt waists instead Of coats and
vests during the hot summer days.
