Importance in point of fact has neither
increased nor diminished along any
line. He presents no greater prob
lens today than he presented a year
or more ago; and these were in fair
way to solve themselves until Mr..
Roosevelt disturbed them in advanc-
ing his political aims.
But in one respect the negro has
changed-he has assumed a different
aspect. Whereas before he was con-
sidered only as an American citizen,
now he is considered as a negro. The
line of cleavage between white and
black citizenship has been drawn in
the popular mind. Citizenship ap-
pears to have been distinctly CLASH
fed. In fact, in law, in theory citizen
ship knows no distinctinos; in mag
nation the negro is negro citizen
apart from the white.
different status from that of his
white neighbor. He feels dignifiej by
the determinations and classifcations
which did not formerly exist. 1t is
no longer a mere citizenship which in
vests him; he is a negro citizen and
as such entitled to special solicitude
and consideration; ordinary and OBJ
scure citizenship has been cast aside
for individual citizenship
The average negro, ignorant of the
inevitable result to his status, rejoices
in a distinction which removes him
from obscurity and sets him apart
for special consideration; but the
more enlightened of the race cannot
but perceive that the separation of
itself must, if persisted in, effect
lowering of status. Differentiation is
inevitable; and an eXalting of the ne
gro status above that of the ordinary
level of citizenship is impossible.
These considerations have to do
only with the negro status as it
would naturally be regulated by the
dominant mind and will of the coun-
try if segregated. The Negroes own
tendency to reduce his status, provid-
ed he follows false leadership in at
tempting to force upward to unnatural
levels, is certain. Reactionary forces
must carry him back below the
starting point.
On the whole it appears that the
negro would have Jared better had he
been spared Mr.. ROosevelt's discrim-
mating attentions

STARTLING FACTS AND FIGURES
to his folly

Few people realize that under the
new order of things the city govern
ment is now handling more money
during the year than the county. This
has been true only during the last
twelve months, when the city tax rate
and the revenues from licenses have
been heavier than ever before. Coun-
ty Treasurer Hawley, according to
his report for the fiscal year ending
June 30th, received from taxes and
miscellaneous sources $3.50, 1899
The city treasurer for the same period
received from taxes and misCellan-
eous sources $8S.5S5.36 and from the
water department s44,SS954, a total
Of $133,475.90. Besides the city had
20 begin the year with over $4,000
and at the end of the year the cash on
hand was a little over $4,000, which
would also have been wiped out had
all outstanding warrants been paid
Thus it will be seen that the total
expenditures OF the city for the last
year were nearly one-hundred and
fifty thousand dollars According to
the county treasurer, the total dis
bursements by the county were
$12S,651.10.
Two years ago the total receipts of
| the city, including the water revenues,
We're about $4,000.
Taxpayers should study these fig
ures and judge for themselves weth-
er or not they are getting their
moneys worth in the enormous in
crease in the expenditures of the city
government, reaching nearly fifty
| thousand dollars a year.

INJURIOUS AGITATION.

Judging from the extent and charac-
ter of discussion of the negro ques-
tion," an observer might naturally
conclude that the American people
were confronted with an Immediate
problem, What to do with the ne
gro. A few short months ago when
the presidents action evoked a storm
of protest it was not deemed probable
that the question would develop it's
present proportions. Now the negro
is topic in every community and
there is scarce representative news
paper in the United States which does
not contain frequent reference to the
subject
In fact, the negro is the same negro
who, a year or eighteen months ago
excited no comment; his situation is
the same; he is the same factor in
the industrial, social and educational
spheres and the political sphere; his

CRAFTS ON A SCALE.

Such development of the various
Washington scandals as escape the
vigilance Of the administration
friends and find their way into print
add to the confirmation of belief that
graft is deep-rooted in practically ev-
cry department of executive business.
To the mind of the average news
paper reader even those meager ac-
counts which are prOcurable Indicate
a bewildering variety Of swiniling
schemes, and these reports, partly
because of the administrations palpa-
BILE efforts to suppress the scandal al
together, are replete with suggestion.
Considering the difficulties which at
tend the gathering of information on
the malfeasance of protected officials,
the public is reasonably justified in
attaching the utmost significance to
that which is forthcoming The atti-
tude which Mr.. Payne adopted and has
maintained throughout and the silent
policy of Mr.. Roosevelt have Oper-
ated to strengthen the inference that
a system Of graft exists greater in ex-
tent than the news of itself might
show
1t is more than mere coincidence
that graft of the same general charac-
ter should exist at the same time in
several departments The fact of
crime in two or in three branches of
government is not conclusive of any
thing. except, perhaps, the laXity or
| incompetence of the administration;
but gratis of one class, of one general
method, would not naturally exist sew
orally and independently in a dozen
bureaus and departments. 1t is i'm
possible not to fit facts of this kind
| into ready theory; and it is the theo-
ry of organized and methodical graft
| which the news establishes day by
day.
The grand jury and prosecuting Of
| ficials at Washington can do very lit
| tie towards accomplishing the peo-
pies will in the short eighteen months
| which remains of Mr. Roosevelt's adj
ministration, especially since the ad-
ministration is out Of harmony with
the searching process.

Auqust's EverYbody's MAGAZINE.

1t is seldom permitted the maya
zine publishers to score a beat" on
their fellows. We have not only sue
ceeded in scoring a beat on other
magazine publishers in the article
Pope Leo's Successor" by F.
Marion Crawford, but we may al
most claim to have scored on the
Invest and liveliest daily papers. Ger
tainly nothing will be printed fore
casting the vote of the conclave of
cardinals which will have the author
ity Of this article by F. Marion Craw-
ford, the Pope's official biographer.
1t is many years since Marion
Crawford, as a brilliant young move
list, paid his first visit to Pope Leo
XIII. Other visits followed, and a
genuine sympathy and friendship
grew up between the head of the
church and the most eminent Roman
Catholic in modern literature. AS a
result, Leo appointed Crawford his
biographer and gave him access to
much valuable material that the cas-
ual biographer would never have &C
quired. Rumor says that the life is
already written, and has waited mere
ly for the closing chapter. In the
ensuing article Mr.. Crawford has dis
cussed the problem of Leo's successor
with an intimate knowledge of the
ground and the candidates that no
other writer could command.

POOR FARM FOLLY.

County Commissioners Cornwell ana
Smith are now inspecting the county
poor house near Spokane with vie"
TO the building of a better one on the
Walla Walla county poor farm. Iney
visited the poor house near Portland
a few days ago, ut that did not come
M 10 their ideas of what such home
should be- There are now only hVe
paupers maintained by the county un-
der the contract system and the aver
age number during the year does not
exceed half a dozen. This showing IS
not satisfactory to two Of the county
commissioners and they are deter
mined to build a home of such super
ior advantages and conveniences and
to provide a bill of fare of such gen.
erous and appetizing nature that indi-
gent persons seeking rest, comfort
and luxury will leave other county
homes to flock to Walla Walla. When
this home is built at cost to the
county of eighteen or twenty thou
sand dollars, there will be no need of
the proposed Stubblefield home for
widows and orphans and the endoW-
ment for that benevolence can be be-
slowed upon the county home, If the
trustees see fit.
County Commissioner McCaw is so
old fashioned in his notions OF pru-
dence and economy that he is oppos-
ing this philanthropic scheme OF his
two colleagues. He cannot see why
the county should build and furnish a
palatial home for the poor when it is
plain that the cost in salaries alone
under the new system would be great
er than the entire cost of mainten-
ance under the contract system. Mr..
McCaw is a good republican, but for
all that he does not think his duty
to the party requires that he should
Join in running the county into debt

create a few more jobs TO be handed

chine Indeed Mr.. McCaw is SO thor
oughly out of harmony with this
scheme, which appears to him to be
piece of ineXcusable extravaganza,
that he has intimated quite strongly
that he will resign if his colleagues
persist in their determination to put
it through regardless Of his protest
and the opposition of most of the
heavy taxpayers of the county.
However, Chairman Cornwell has
been riding this poor house hobby for
several years and he will never be
satisfied until he reaches his goal
even if it does mean that the mulish
public will buck and throw him over
board on the very threshold of the
monument that he proposes to erect

TOOK WILD RIDE ON BICYCLE.

Everett.-Miss Hazel Campbell, the
14-year- old daughter of w. E. Camp
bell of the Great Northern Central
restaurant, narrowly escaped serious
injury as the result of a bicycle acct
dent. Her wheel ran away from her
on the long hill from Wetmore to
BroadmOre on Pacific avenue, and she
went down the slope at lightning
speed. and collided with a telephone
pole at the bottom of the HILL
She was picked up and taken to the
home of Rev. Chaplin. She was not
unconscious but seemed stunned and
bruised. Later she was taken to her
own home 1t is not believed that she
is dangerously hurt, and it is expected
that bad bruises will prove the ex-
tent of her injuries.

PLAN TO DEFEAT MCBRIDE.

Doe Hare. once a painless tooth pull
Ter, then a horse trainer and later
speaker of George Stevenson's lobby
ridden legislature at Olympia, is the
latest railroad candidate for governor.
1t is the plan of the railroad lobby
to bring out multitude of guberna-
torial candidates in order to appeal to
the home pride of nearly every county
in the state and then to combine the
field against Governor Mcbride,
Among the candidates so far suggest
ed are Gilbert Hunt of Walla Walla,
S. G. COsgrove, of Garfield county,
Humphries and Smith of Seattle. Roth
of Whatcom, Brownell of Everett,
Baker of Klickitat, Scobey Of Thurs
ton, Rand of Clarke, Shaw of Spo-
kane and finally, most absurd of all,
Doc Hare of Yakima county.
1t is a clever political game, but it
will be so thoroughly exposed before
the time Of selecting delegates to the
next republican state convention that
it is doubtful whether it will prove
successful. Last year Mcbride Sc
cured control of the state convention
by a comfortable margin despite the
most determined efforts of the Ank-
Rny- Stevenson combine to circumvent
him, and there is no good reason for
believing that the governor has lost
that time During President ROose-
veltS recent visit to the state he made
no concealment of his sympathy with
Mcbride in the fight both are making
for just regulation of the great rail
road corporations. The president 1r
his final speech at Spokane came out
squareIy against rich law breakers
like jim Hill, and no one who has reaC
that speech can doubt that it was in
ernor Mcbride in his warfare against
the railroad merger and the railroad
lobby.
The fact that President Roosevelt
stands back of Mcbride in this con
test will no doubt have powerful in.
fluence in strengthening the govern
or's cause among the rank and fill
of his party and it will materially ai(
him in controlling the next state con
vention. The recent crushing defea
of the Ankeny- railroad machine in tn,
Walla Walla local contest has ais,
added TO the hope and courage of tn
supporters of Mcbride throughout tn
state. 1t is now known that the rail
road lobby under the leadership O
Stevenson did its utmost to win
signal victory for the machine in tn
recent city election, and this fact ha
made the reverse suffered the NOR
significant and the more potent i
shaping public sentiment in favor G
the Mcbride forces. The people G
this state regardless of party hav
great faith in the honesty, sincerit
and courage Of Governor Mcbride, an
1t may as we'll be confessed that a.
signs now point to his triumphan
election in next years contest.

COURT IMPOSES FINE.
Fred De B. Weston Charged With
Storing Gasoline Without Permit.

Fred De b. Weston, who conducts store
room for horseless vehicles al 1919 J. street
northwest, was convicted IN the District
branch of the Police Court yesterday after
noon on n charge of violating clause in
the police regulations, and n fine of SO
was imposed by Judge Kimball. The in
formation against Weston, issued on COM
plant Of Fire Marshal Sidney Bieber. set
forth that the defendant stored and kept
for sale gasoline at 1919 L street northwest.
without first having secured a permit from
the Commissioners. Attorney William 8.
DuVall counsel for Weston. announced his
intention Of taking the matter to the Court
Of Appeals.
Fire Marshal Bieber explained to the
court that the defendant has a permit TO
store gasoline in the rear of 1878 l. street
northwest, but has no privilege for that
purpose at 1919 l. street He said he visited
the latter place recently and found a five
gallon can of gasoline which was used to
put in tanks of horSeless vehicles belonging
to the defendants customers
The claim made by the defense was that
gasoline was not stored on the premises
but was brought over from the other place
and put into the vehicle tanks as needed.
Judge kmball in disposing of the case
said that the defendant had right to keep
gasoline stored in the tanks OF the vehicles,
but he violated the law by keeping ii stored
on the premises in cans.
