PREACHERS on RACE PROBLEM.

Rev DIR. Parkhurst and Rev. DR.. N.
l.. Hills are at issue on the negro ques-
ton Dr. Parkhurst while denying his
reported assertion OF regret that slavery
days are over makes plain his opinion
that the color of the race is an insu-
peralole barrier to It's assimilation to
citizenship In an interview published
in the New York Sun he makes use OF
the following language:
.sTlne 'niggers' will never be assimi-
leted by the nation. They never never
will contribute, in any part, toward
forming the national type of the Ameri-
cans of the future. They grow blacker
and blacker every day. Their color
forms a physical barrier which even
time, the great leveller, can not sweep
away.
Persons who talk of assimilation In
connection with the race problem do not
understand what they speak of. Flu
|ture generations of our race will be
very much as we are. The physical bar
rier that separates the blacks from the
whites today will be just as broad and
as high turnout all the centuries 20
come"
Dr. Parkhurst is to be plainly under
stood. His argument includes the
physical as well as the Intellectual diff
ferences in the races. He would dis
franchise the negro because he is black
and grows blacker.
Rev. Lyman Abbott aud es;-President
Cleveland admitting the failure of the
policy which endowed The negro with
the ballot are reconciled to lis disfran-
chisement pending the education of the
race. To their sentiments expressed at
the New York meeting, where both
spoke on this subject, Or. Hills takes
strenuous exception. He declares that
both have lost faith in the republic and
that If the negro is to be disfranchised
in the south he must lose his political
standing in the north as WELL If Hit
eracy is to be the test Of the right to
vote then DIR. Hills insists OH the dis
franchisement of the Italian, Bohemian.
Pole and Greek. If universal suffrage is
wrong, then the sixteenth amendment
to the constitution must be given up
then Abraham Lincoln was wrong in
his speech at Gettysburg, and the mill
ion soldiers who gave their lives for lib
erty spilled their blood in the interest of
folly and superstition. 1t is too late
for us to affirm that.th great men from
Washington and Jefferson to Sumner

THE WEALTH OF HEALTHFuLNEss.

j. Ogden Armour paid $4,000 for a
short sentence. 1t cost him $4,000 a
word to hear DR.. Lorenz say Lolita can
walk" and it is likely thct he had never
received money with The delight he
found.in paying the great surgeons bill
for the service rendered his daughter.
Mr.. Rockefeller is reputed to have Of
fered $1.000,000 to be cured of dyspepsia.
His millions have endowed universities
and control the oil fields of q hemi-
sphere but may not purchase exemp-
ton from disease. Armcur's fee of S45,-
600 is rot price current. Neither is
Rockefelller's offer. Price is no con-
sideration when health and sound limbs
are in question. All tha; a man hath
will he give for healthy body.
Mankind is prone to discomfort and
envy. Everything cheapens with pos
session. Men covet of their neighbors
and despise what they already have.
The mathematician would be q poet,
the philosopher a painter The work
man longs for the idler's lack of respon-
s!bility, while the loun ger envies the
workman his continuity of occupation.
The most common cause nf discomfort is
the desire of the poor to be rich and yet
each family blessed with health and
appetite is rich beyond either Mr.. Ar
mour or Mr.. Rockefeller. Lolita Ar
mour's hip is worth no r.ore to her and
hers than the joints of a million other
are to them and their parents.
Mr.. Rockefeller's stomach is of no more
value than a carriers. Defect
i've joints and played-out stomachs are
the same In hall or hovel. They make
life worthless to their possessors.
Perhaps If the weary men and women
who are fighting poverty away from
their growing families were to count
their treasure they might find them
selves millionaires. A dozen hip joints
at $4,000 and half dozen stomachs
at Mr.. Rockefeller's figure run fast into
1t is better to pinch for cheap
baseball outfit for a healthy, supple lad
than to be able to give Il sickly cripple
an automobile. 1t is finer to wear lin
ey-woolsey over perfect limbs than
cover deformity with silk and to eat
with appetite the bread of labor in the
sweat of ones brow is better than to sit
starving amid millions. The healthy
are the rich. They inherit the world
and the infinite beauty OF life. The
cripple or invalid. whatever the figures
of his bank account, has only his money.
Whoever Is healthy is wealthy. The
carpenter able to work every day in the
year ct present prices has paid-up
capital OF nearly $4,000. His
health and strength are an investment
equal to half section farm. His in
come Is the interest at per cent on his
ability to perform labor worth 33 1-3
cents per hour. Dl. Lorenz's price for
hip joint and Mr.. F.ockefeller's bid for a
new stomach are not too high. There
are no offerings even at these prices.

adjusted for mountain climbing Dave
says he seen 'em climbing peaks in Col
orado with almost incredible speed -
going round and round, with all four
of its legs touching the ground. A half
grown Rachaboar, according to Dave,
could make the east mail look as if it
was tied To "a fence. The only way
they can be captured, he said, was to
go where they were coming the week
before and head EN- off, and start 'em
going the other way. This throws their
long legs uppermost and upsets 'em.
Dave says he never caught one. We
wish he had; we'd like to see the blame
thing. Asa-weu you kno wAsa. When
you lose him in little game like this
you don't. You bet not. So Asa
snorted and remembered the One Eyed
Screaming Aemus. AS its name i'm
plies the One-Eyed Screaming Aemus
is bird. According to Asa it is not
much larger than q horse and smaller
than box car set on end, and has
great. gaudy tail feathers upon the
back of its neck. Asa says the woods
used to be full of them over in Pow
esheik county when he was a boy. Like
all birds it was timid. but an attempt
to catch Il specimen always failed. for
the reason that when cornered these
birds would utter a despairing scream
and with mighty gulp swallow them
selves. Now it seems to us altogether
probably that these strange creatures
are mentioned in some work of natural
history. All little boys and girls who
love natural history and are readers of
this paper should not fail to see if they
can find them mentioned. To any little
boy or girl who brings to US work on
natural history which contains any
mention of either we will give penny.

THE COUNTRY wEeKLIEs.

Bailey, of the Britt Tribune, resents
certain sneers that have been directed
al country papers and insists that the
fact that John Jones has painted his
barn is an honest item of news de-
manded by the subscribers and properly
printed to comply with the demand. The
local columns of the city daily and even
its press report are challenged in the
Tribune article with both htimor and
justice. The Tribune is right. The
province of the country weekly is to tell
the news of Its; locality and the I'M
provement of Mr.. Jones' barn is fact
OF interest to Jones neighbors and
friends thruout the county. The minor
bits of news, the local gossip of the
community ahe lost upon those outside
its radius of interest. Tie the local SUBJ
scriber the fact that Mr.. Jones has
painted his barn is news and it's publ
cation part of the country papers bust
ness.
But it Is the subscriber who has
moved away" from the neighborhood
where he was born and brought up that
realizes the true newsiness of the
country paper which follows him with
its weekly chronicle Of the locality. The
world in general is not waiting to hear
Of Jones barn or the death of Browns
~ ~ ~, ID \,
but he is. He wants to know that
Grandma Johnson took tea at Uncle
Sam Mason's one night last week" and
that bill Thompson's hog house was
destroyed by fire." The mere mention
of the names is like breath of his
boyhood, and when the '..hcme paper
comes the daily's headlines fail to at
tract until it's contents nave been de-
voured. He knows tina. Jones barn is
news.
There is no occasion for Iowa dailies
and weeklies to sheer hack and forth.
On the contrary each has just cause for
pride in themselves and IN one another.
The country weeklies OF Iowa are as
rewsy and well edited as the same
number of sheets anywhere. Many of
them are exceptional. 1t should be re-
membered that an Iowa county paper
leads all other county papers in circu-
lation. More bright original and witty
sayings appear in them than in the
great dailies and the opinion of the
country press is the formulated senti-
ment of the people. The country press
makes and unmakes ard it's support is
necessary to. political changes. 1t fills
its field quite as thoroughly on an aver
age as the daily does its own. 1t is the
vehicle of neighborhood news, the COM
mon gossip of the community with the
talebearers malice eliminated. 1t is
not fit object for the sneers of the city
daily, but for its careful use and pc

IOWA NEWSPAPERS.
IOWA NEWSPAPERS.
IOskaloosa Herala1


The writer has recently had the
pleasure of inspecting the plants of
three of the successful newspapers OF
Iowa. the Des Moines Register and
Leader the Council Bluffs Nonparei!,
and the Ottumwa Courier. Great as
has been the advancement in all lines
in Iowa, during the past ten years, no
industry has excelled. and we seriously
doubt that it has equalled that Of the
newspaper business. Any one of tn /.
papers named furnish ten times as
much Geographic news as was furnish
ed by them a decade ago, and at an
beyond comparison, of those only n
few years back. and la takes a keener
business insight, and harder editorial
work to keep up the advancing stand
ard of excellence and make ends meet.
The tendency towards cheap newspap-
ers is sad mistake, and we believe a
mfsinterpretation of the demands of the
public. People want II good, reliable
newspaper, filed with crisp news, and
they are willing to pay for it. They
don't want. and will not long tolerate
a sheet filed with Objectionable adj
vertisements and stuffed with reprint
Sloiless, tiIdl iidS etuu iiidS iicl Ue ! Siiet-
BILE. There is no class of people who
work harder and put in more hours
than the newspaper people, and they
deserve and should command good pay.
We are glad to know that the three
papers mentioned are good paying
properties. They deserve it in every
way. We are also glad that they have
the good sense to demand a living price
for their wares, and stand by 1T. Any
daily newspaper that is not worth
from 40 to SO cents a month. is not
worth anything, and no amount OF
boosting can make it popular with thu,
people for any length of time.

IOWA OPINIONS AND NOTES.

The Dallas County News says:
When President Roosevelt came to
know the truth he found Governor
Cummins a good republican. When
Roosevelt got below the gossip of the
anti-Cummins people and came to know
the real truth regarding the attitude
of Mr.. Cummins he found they We're
very close together on fundamentals.
Roosevelt and Cummins very largely
perfected the arrangements whereby
Hon. George D. Perkins is to be tenn
porary chairman Of the convention and
Senator Allison is to write the plat
form. Perkins has maintained that
Cummins' republicanism was all right
and he has been the strongest opponent
OF those who sought to brand the gov
ernor and all his friends as free
traders"

Wholly Objectionable as is the an
poiptment of a negro to be collector of

effect of a warning signal to the white
people OF the South. There is o mini
mum of danger In the negro question
so long as Southern white men stand
unbrokenly together and they will
never divide while a Republican presi-
dent deliberately provides a cause of
acute irritation. After all, the conclu-
sion cannot be escaped that Mr.. Roose-
Welt lis what is slangingly called a
"cheap skate" Mr.. Mckinley perhaps
was not a brilliant man but he was no
fool and his great Office never seemed

Concerning n Dog Law.

If Laurens farmers wish the Legisla-
ture to enact a ''yaller dog" law, they
should go to the Legislature and ask
it. When the railways and the cotton
mills want legislation they send a dele
cation to Columbia to appear before
the committees and urge the request.
If Laurens farmers will go in force to
Columbia they can obtain any legisla-
tion in re ,son that they wish. For ex-
ample, if a dozen representative farm
ers like Andy Jones, Robert Aber-
crombie, Col. Shaw, r. D. Boyd, Hugh
Wallace A. j. Smith, j. w D. Watts,
Albert Darlington, e.. G. Mitchell, w.
z. Harris and John Hunter will go to
Columbia and appear before the agri-
cultural committee to ask for a dog
law In the interest Of sheep raising, the
Legislature will listen to them atten-
lively and hesitate a long time before
refusing the request. We merely name
these farmers at random, without
knowing what they think on the dog
question, and with a view of pointing
out what would be an effectiye plan.
The ADVERTISER believes that this is
county adapted to sheep raising and
that sheep raising is more profitable
than dog raising. At the same time,
the question is one for farmers to
solve for themselves. We do not want
a dog law If the farmers do not want
1T. We are not pestered with dogs.
The farmers should please themselves
But If they want dog law, the way to
get it is to go to Columbis after 1t. A
trip to Columbia can be taken for six
or seven dollars. Aud we can't have
sheep In this country and cur dogs too.
1t is a matter Of choice.
