The present is the first time since the
days of the boom that Topeka has been
permanently full of people. So many
houses were built to sell in those days
that the supply finally exceeded the pop
ulation, and for years it has not been
difficult to find empty houses, not good
ones, of course: for they are always oc-
cupied. All are full now and there is
an urgent demand for more If the city
is to continue to grow provision must
be made by those who own the land and
have the money. for housing those who
wish to become citizens.

Gently two white men killed two ne
groes. One killer was released on bail
of 81 500. The other was acquitted on
the ground of self-defense. The courts
and the jury may be supposed to have
done justice according to the law and
the facts. We are not censuring them
or Tennessee But the cases suggest
an obvious inquiry If these two ne
groes had killed two white men under
the same circumstances. provocation
and justification, would there have
been any preliminary hearing in the one
case or any trial before a jury in the
other? Would they not have been put
out of the way. on suspicion. on the
ground that they were negroes? Even

From Root to Taft.

New York World:
If it be true that Elihu Root is to re-
tire from the cabinet, the government
will lose one of the ablest war secre-
taries it has ever had. This of course is
not the same thing as saying that all
of Mr.. Roots actions have been COM
mendable. In permitting himself to be
used, whether willingly or not, as the
vehicle of a brutal insult to Gen. Miles,
he made a heavy draft on his credit
with the American people. But this
does not affect Secretary Roots ability
nor the clear purpose and masterful
vigor with which he has handled the
affairs of his department He has been
one of the very few secretaries who
have not been content with keeping
things moving in the old ruts, but have
carried through radical changes to meet
altered conditions. With the help OF
congress he has reorganized the army
from the top to bottom, brought Its
regimental formations into line with
modern practice and changed the whole
system of command. If it be true that
the new head of the war department Is
to be Gov. Taft. the country will have
good cause to congratulate itself. Gov.
Taft is a man of high character and
great ability.

Jewish population in this country is
about 100000, or roughly speaking,
a little more than ! per cent-that is,
the number CT Jewish names included
in who's Who in America" is about
the same or a little less in proportion
TO the Jewish population in this coun-

we should be compelled to the con-
clusion that the Jews play no gre 1t r

class of people in the United States
This may or may not be true, but
we must not forget that of the million
Jews in this country more than 100000
have immigrated within the last
twenty or thirty years. and the great
er number of these 100000 have come
here within the last ten years. The

BAPTIST MINISTERS AND
THE SOUTHERN BANK

Editor Morning News: In reply to
an article which appeared in your pa
per of the 7th, stating that a commit
tee of the Colored Evangelical Minis
terial Union, representing the Baptist,
Methodist and Presbyterian churches
called upon the president of the South
ern Bank with the intention of learning
whether or not that bank discriminat-
ed against the colored people, we the
negro Baptist ministry of Savannah
desire to make the following state
ment:
The so-called Evangelical Ministerial
Union, represented by the committee
that called upon the president of the
Southern Bank, does not represent the
Colored Baptist churches of Savannah.
The RS ptist churches of Savannah
have no connection whatever with that
organization, and are in no way re-
sponsible for anything it may say or
do.
ALI the regular colored Baptist min
listers of Savannah and vicinity in
charge of churches, belong to the Bap-
fist Ministers Union which meets ev-
cry Monday at IL a. m, and none of
them belong to the so-called Evan
gelical Union.
IhC SOlOl GU ID PIlSL AllliI0hOloS w.
gether with the Congregational and
Episcopalian ministers, who also do
not belong to the so-called Evangelical
Union, represent fully three-fourths of
the whole colored population of Sa-
Vannah.
We, the Baptist Ministers Union,
make this statement that the public
may know that the regular colored
Baptist ministry of Savannah and vi
entity is in no way connected with, or
represented by, nor is in any way re-
sponsible for the sayings and doings of
the so-called Evangelical Union, which
represents but a small fraction of the
colored people of this city.

there seem to be a few stray specimens

their faculties do not so beyond this.
A very remarkable proof of their limi-

tradition, is that, though l have be-

uninteresting creatures l cannot I'M

RIGID CATTLE INSPECTION
Ordered by the Authorities of the
Town of SVvainsborO.

Swainsboro, Ga. March 1O.-Hereaft-
er the City Council of Swainsboro will
have all cattle inspected before slaugh-

fact that one of the local butchers was
charged with Offering unfit beef for

requiring cattle to be inspected is a
good one.

buried last Saturday. No such sugges-
