THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE.

If the universe is without bounds then, logically
it can have center. But as the finite mind cannot
grasp the idea, it clings to the other. If the
universe has a center why not our planetary system
be that center? Upon the other hand if it isn't
what's the difference? Again. if the universe is
boundless then our system cannot be on the edge
near the rim. DR.. Alfred Russell Wallace the
dean of English science, declares that when it
comes to liking the center of the universe that
We are strictly in it, and that the earth with its
humanity is it's most important factor. The theo-
logical world is naturally pleased but science still
shakes it's head in doubt. The French savants
pecially express no end of ridicule for Wallaces
theory that they supposed science had buried long
ogo, which locates in the center of the universe.
1t is secuted at by the French academy and such
noted scientists NJ. Berthelot and NJ Loewy re-
gard it as puerile. All the leading astronomers in
this country are greatly agitated too, it. and
many regard it as preposterous that own sun,
which is only among 100 100000 should be the
solar center of things
The story is told of Charles v who being asked
sword in the ground and replied "The center is
right here; it is right where l am"
We can only suggest that it seems unfortunate
that this old conundrum of the center of the uni
verse should have been dug up again for men to
quarrel over when there is much that is really es
sential and not speculative within reach While
we have war, disease crime, ignorance and poverty
to deal with-things well within our reach and
pressing for amelioraton-would it not be full as
well to devote our attention 70 things nearer home

RoOSEVELTS WONDERFUL VERSATILITY

Roosevelt is if not the most versatile
ever occupying the Presidential chair literary
writer, city politician, ranchman, soldier
sailor and statesman At least he has made records
along all these lines and failed in Besides
he is an athlete sportsman and a member of the
church
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Commercial advertiser says that president who
has occupied the White House within memory has
made agreeable an impression upon members of
the diplomatic colony as President Roosevelt In
deed, it is doubtful whether among the regning
sovereigns of Europe there is who is thor
oughy at home in discussing with the representa-
tives of other nations just the questions in which
those representatives happen to be particularly in
terested. The German emperor may be an exception
for his mental activities are said to be almost
boundless. AS for the others-so members of the
foreign colony in Washington say-no one of them
can compare with the President of the United
States. There are very few questions about which
President Roosevelt does not know something He
has been voracious reader since he
boy, and be has always been passionately fond of
history and biography His memory is tenacious
and encyclopedia. Whatever information once gets
into his mind sticks there ready to be called on at
a seconds notice. No President since John Quincy
Adams has begun to compare with him in the ex-
tent of his general knowledge of questions not i'm
mediately concerned with American politics and his
tory. He knows something about the politics and
history of every nation in Europe, even the most
insignificant, and he at times displays familiar
ity with them which is surprising to their repre-
sentatves it is gratifying.

GIBBS ON RACE PROBLEM
Speaks From Thirty Yeas Experience In
Dealing With the Negro.

Dealing With the Negro.
: Mr.. Gicbs, "a very prominent
citizen of Yazoo County, has the
following to say on the race ques-
ton:
"There is no excuse" says Mr..
Gibbs, "and no palliation for
candidate, even for the legisla-
ture in a white county, to stir up
race prejudice in Mississippi. We
had enough OF thai from 1865 to
1873. 1t was only by great sac
rifces that we restored peace be-
tween the races on the basis of a
promise on our part to protect
the negro in his civil rights as Il
citizen. Every state democratic
platform since 1868 has promised
it, Lamar, George and Walthal
have all promised it in the United
States senate. Our senators and
congressman have boastcd of our
educational work for the negro in
answer to the charges of our re
publican enemies. The white
constitutional convention of 1890
put free schools in the state con-
stitution and left the word
"white" out of it. The negro is
a citizen of Mississippi and the
United States, and unless there
is a power among us able to
thrash the United States a citizen
he will remain If we wishto de-
prive him of education the free
school of the whites must 90 also.
"Tnder the act of congress of
March, 1870. under which we
were admitted into the Union, the
condition was imposed that we
should maintain four months
schools for all the children of the
stAte./ We have very properly
by indirect methods nulified the
fifteenth amendment anddeprived
the negro of suffrage under the
forms of the state and federal
constitutions He has not kick
ed. We have put him off the jury
and be has not complained. Now
they are raising an excitement
and string up the animosity of
the negro about his little "pica-
yune' free schools. What for?
just for votes A base imitation
of Roosevelt. Roosevelt can ap-
point postmasters and make them
stick if he wants TO, but there is
no power to deprive the negro Of
his schools. You can excite him,
make him mad, and perhaps get
the votes of a few prejudiced
people but his schoolsond citizen
ship remain as long as white
schools and white citizenship ex-
lists and rs long as it is impossi-
BILE to wage war successfully
against the American people. y
Greenwood and Yazoo City
owe their fine houses and pros
perity to cotton made by negro
labor principally, now quiet and
submissive, by an attack on all
they have left to form a basis of
hope? Suppose the negroes were
to conclude to hunt a place, Lon
isiana, Arkansas or Texas, where
their educational privileges are
not called in question, and should
abandon Yazoo and Lefiorey How
the people, poor and rich, would
howl with rage and get out their
guns to stop them; and yet that
is the logical result of all such
wild talk. How different such
talk from the states manlike ora
