As another expression of Ameri
can prejduice exhibited in religious
circles the Seventh Day Adventists
have now concluded to divide their
congregatiOnsup according to color.
Even in this newreligOus Organiza-
ton the spirit of caste is being fOst
cred and perpetuated. Every off shoot
of American christianity partakes
the venom of the ptrent tree race
prejudice. Yet these christians say
that "God is no respeOter of per-
sons" Perhaps these almighty peo
pie will contend that the God head
is made up wrong, that the brother
hood of man and the Fatherhood
of God" does not apply to any but
white folks. What next?

Promoters Should Stick to Strictly Bust
ness Methods.

Nothing will more fully conserve the
interests Of the miuing industry than the
application of correct business methcd DIS
in securing capital for Investment. Sue.
cesses attained in this direction at the
expense of fair play prove expensive in
the long run Deals that involve large
expenditures Of capital in sure thing"
propositions invariably react when the
"sure thing" feature disappears. 1t Is
not so much the dishonesty of promoters
as their unbridied enthusiasm and lack
of judgment and foresight in many in
stances that leads them to exaggerate
the opportunities offered and thus in
duce capital to take hold in the belief
that failure is an impossibility.-Wes
tern Mining World.
In commenting on the above the Lead
Daily Call in a recent issue says: The
aboye remarks apply to this as we'll as
all other mining regions. The Black
Hills is attracting mining men and CAPT
tai. Large deals in mining property
have been concluded and many others
are being negotiated. The district is not
afflicted with wildcat or fraudulent ex.
ploitation of mining companies. Yet
there are tendencies to e~xaggerate con-
ditions of themselves in general %sufici-
emily remarkable in magnitude and CON
tinuity of veins and ore bodies 10 attract
capital and investment without the
slightest embellishments or displays of
"unbridled enthusiasm" Ninety-nine
cases out of hundred a plain statement
of facts will sell a mine or a prospect
much quicker than exaggerated state
ments which are sure of detection and
thereby cause the property to be turned
down. Far better for the Black Hills, its
present and future, to maintain its repu.
tation for conservatism, and for those
engaged in advertising and selling pros
poets to restrain enthusiastic outpourings
and stick to the facts.
