city Engineer Thomson has been

move has been felt for some time on
account OF the lack OF room. IL has
been felt in all departments. more

cells In the police department are
too few ia number and too small In

NEED OF FARM LABOR IN THE
SOUTH.

The Baltimore Sun recently called at
tention to the fact that the scarcity of
farm labor is becoming a crying evil
in many parts of the South FOX the
reason that the negro is no longer at
hand, and if at hand is as a rule nei-
ther reliable not efficient. 1t cannot
be said that this is new discovery,
because it has been frequently observ-
ed in the last ten years that the pub
lie schools are giving the negroes dis
taste for manual labor, especially on
farms and plantations. Therefore the
millions of dollars spent annually by
the white people of the Southern States
on negro schools has had no other
effect than to demoralize the young
negroes and cause them to quit
work Many of them go North, but
the great majority leave the coun-
try and flock to the cities of the
South, whore they prey upon the in
dustrious people of their race or steal
for O living. In the latter pursuit
they are particularly industrious, as
the police records show.
The truth is the negro is eeasing to
be reliable as an employe for making
crop and il is merely a question OF
time when our farmers and planters
will realize that the only remedy Is
immigration from Europe, and that
! steps will have to be taken to import
farm labor from the agricultural dis
tricts of the Old World. 1t was this
lkind of immigration that built up and
made prosperous the great States of
the Northwest, and 1t is the kind the
South needs and should secure to sup
ply the growing demand for farm labor.
The main reason why so little foreign
immigration has come into the South is
the dissemination of the industrial
classes of Europe to be thrown into
competition with negro labor, but this
objection Will not operate to turn
immigration from the Southern States
when it is known that the negroes are
abandoning the country districts and
are no longer relied upon for farm
work There is not more thrifty
or desirable class of immigrant that
the hardy German, Scandinavian and
Austrian farmers, and if they are
brought into the South would soon de-
velop into excellent citizens and assist
materially in increasing the wealth of
the country
