The NeEro Formulation.

The rapid gain Of the white popula-
ton upon and over the cOlOred in the
South will in itself tend TO a settle
ment OF the race problem in that re-
gion. The census returns show that
Louisiana is 40 longer a negro state
a majority Of the people being now
whites, and In several other Southern
States the negroes are losing ground
numerically at a rate which, if contin-
ued, will soon make them very insig
nifcant minority. This is ascribed in
part to the influx Of mites, in part TO
the high death rate among the blacks,
and in a lesser measure TO an emf
grafton Of the negroes 70 the Northern
States.
With each succeeding year the color
ed race becomes a smaller fraction Of
the population. not merely Of the cOUn-
try as a whole, but of the Southern
States, where the negroes chiefly re
side. This clearly indicates that the
Southern States are in no imminent
danger Of being dominated politically
or otherwise by the blacks. There has,
in fact, scarcely been a possibility Of
EuCA a NNlIE III any southern SL@Ae
since the passing OF the reconstruction
period and the ascendency Of the ne
RrUes in certain States at that time was
in large degree owing 10 conditions
which can scarcely arise again. With
the negroes constantly growing weaker
as a physical and political force, there
is but small chance OF their ever gain
ing control Of a single State in the Tn
ION. and there IS very little upon which
20 base a cry against the horrors Of
negro domination. With the exercise
OF just a modicum Of good common
sense. the people Of the South are about
as safe on this score as they are in al
most any other respect.
Absolutely all that is required To Sc
cure the permanent sscendency Of the
whites is a reasonable restriction Of the
ballot through an educational test
Such q test will. for a time disfran-

Reading Aloud.

4 weary physician declared not long
ago that the talent Of reading aloud
was one Of the most valuable and one
of the rarest in modern Hfe. He said
that during couvaIescence OF in cases
Of a slow. tedious ailment, il was often
most beneficial 10 the patient to listen
TO some entertaining book, read aloud
by a pleasant-yOiced attendant but
that il was almost impossible 10 get
anyone 10 do the reading.
Ii is only necessary 10 review the list
Of ones acquaintance to see that this
is true. In the first place, the cultiva-
ton Of the voice is neglected nowadays
and il never has received the attention
which il should. There WAS time.
however, when a low. gentle voice and
careful enunciatiOn were considered
attributes If culture. and when gen
tleman or lady could be distinguished
by the accent Of the voice in speaking.
To some extent this is still true. but
there are many people in what is
called good society who seem 10 think
that careless pronunciation and clip
ping Of words. OF some trick Of mOdula-
ton, is a mark Of "smartness,' and
that careful speaking is pedaDuc and
over precise. Of course. this whimsical
Interpretation Of culture has it's influ-
ence. and the result is carelessness in
other grades Of society which is not at
all necessary.
Another cause Of careless speaking
nowadays is the diminished attention
which is paid to reading aloud in the
schools In the old fashioned school
the reading class was as much a part
Of the days business as the class in
arithmetic. and the pupils were re-
quired to read, and to learn and recite
extracts from the best authors, until
they were nearly grown. Moreover,
this exercise occupied from an hour 70
an hour and a half Of each day, and
was accompanied with careful instruc-
ton by the teacher on matters of in
Election. pronunciation, and accent. OF
course, there are some children who
cannot be taught 70 read aloud proper
~, but their blunders only made clear
70 the brighter ones what were the
faults to be most avoided: and between
the bright particular stars and the nor
rible examples IF the class the majority
Of the pupils gained a fairly correct
idea Of the art which they were study
ing
The lessons in elOcutiOn which have
been introduced along with Ctner mod

drill II is not half as important that
the average child should be taught TO

Poto Iican coffee producers are com
planning that Brazilian coffee can be
shipped into the island and sold there
for about one-half the price Of the
home product This may be true. al
though il is not easy to see why there
should be such difference But be
that as il may, the people OF Porto
Rico eagerly sought the sovereignty of
the United States. and bitterly resented
the idea Of not being regarded as
American citizens. Immediately upon
the rendering Of the insular decisions
they petiuoned for free trade with the
granted This cleared up the situation
70 the extent of making the island "a
commercial if not a political part Of
the Republic.
Now it is said that the coffee men
want a special duty for the exclusion
Of brazilian coffee. No one can tel
what a Republican Congress may do
with reference to the island. but il is
plain that the status Of Porto Rico hav-
ing been measurabIy cleared up, it
would be bad policy to cloud it again
by the imposition Of a special duty on
coffee imported into the island
If the coffee interests Of the island
suffer through Brazilian competition,
there are other interests which are
greatly benefited by the changed COM
meTcial status. Her tobacco and rum
can now be sold freely in the American
market, and so can any other product
Of the plantations. Besides, the inter
ests Of the coffee producers are only
one side Of the coffee question.
L Porto Rico is wise she viii accept
the situation just as it is. She would
better abandon coffee raising entirely
ana cOnfine herself 20 other staple
products than 70 ask FOR legislation at
the hands of Congress that would BE
tantamount To a declaration that the
island is not a part Of the United
States.
