DOES NOT LIKE TOURISTS.
Missouri Editor Vents His Opinion OF
Wanderers on Earth's Surface.

Since his recent visit to Havana.
Cuba, whore he dined with men from
every part of the world, Bob White of
the Mexico (Mo) Ledger seems to
have taken antipathy to tourists as
a class. In recent issue of his pa
per he says: THE party was not
large one, either"-the world isn't
very large after all. Mr.. White
''roasts" the tourists, and especially
the Americans. who are now doing"
Havana by thousands. "A regrettable
feature of the tourist" he writes, "is
the absolute lack of consideration
found among many of them-their
rvthlessness-a disregard for the
privacy of homes. sacred edifices, or
wherever else their bent takes them.
They enter the grand old churches
during sacred service. when the con-
gregations are devoutly and silently
following the impressive services.
They explore all parts of the building.
talking in loud tones, crossing and re-
crossing, sometimes with their hats
on, between the kneeling congrega-
tion and the altar swapping their ko-
daks at whatever objects attract them
most.
with what disgust must the peo-
pie here regard such demonstrations
what contempt must they feel to-
ward this class. At the present
amazing progress of this grossness,
hoggishness, we could well say, we
may soon hear that all the churches
In the city have been closed to visit
ors. Were the Cubans to go to the
states and conduct themselves rs
many Americans do here. it is GER
tain that they would be very sum
marily dealt with. and they would de-
serve it, as do that class of Ameri-
cans to whom so much forbearance is
now being shown in Havana"

ARCHIE RoosEvELT's PONY.
How Pony Rode In an Elevator at
the White House.

Archie Roosevelt, while recovering
from an attack of measles. had Wis
itor the other day. whose call will do
more to restore him to health than all
the medicine the doctor can give him,
says Washington dispatch. Soon
after Archie began to convalesce he
begged to he allowed to see his spot
ted pony, Algonquin. which is his con-
slant companion when he is we'll 1t
was too soon for Archie to leave his
room and Mrs. Roosevelt was COM
PEELED to decline the request.
Charles, the groom, who looks after
Algonquin and who also is a great
chum of Archie, thought the matter
over and concluded that If Mr.. Archie
wanted to see his pony he should do
so.
Without confiding his plan to any
one he led the pony the other day into
the White House and along the corri-
dor into the elevator. The elevator
men were too much surprised to say a
word until after the elevator had dis
appeared. When the second floor was
reached Charles led the pony into
Arches room and ushered it in.
To say that Archie was delighted ex-
presses it mildly and the pony also
seemed to enjoy his visit.
This is the first time that horse
has ridden in White House elevator.

STATE SECRETS OF AUSTRIA.
They Are Securely Placed in Rooms
Made of Iron.

Made of iron.
The Austrian imperial archives have
been lately conveyed from the Hof-
burg to the great house built for them
adjoining the Foreign Office. They
will later on be opened for public in
spection, from the most ancient docu-
ments down to those of 1910. The
are of ironwork, each story being COM
pletely separated from the next one,
so that neither five nor water can PEN
citrate. Hose supplying abundance of
water is fixed in every direction, the
windows can neither be melted by fire
nor destroyed by blows. and the orna-
mental ironwGrks before each window
can be unlocked in case of emergency.
1t is remembered when Napoleon
Bonaparte invaded Austria and es-
tablished himself at Schonbrunn, with
what terrible haste the secret
archives were carried off to Buda-
Pesth, to the Ofen stronghold, these
being the first things secured when
all else was left. Among the iron
cases stands plain brown wooden
box, which will not be opened for fifty
years.
1t contains the letters and papers OF
the late Crown Prince Rudolph, hur.
riedly collected at Mayerling on the
day of the disaster, and placed in a box
bought in the adjoining village.-Lon

were 223 homicldcs ID twelve
months, an average of more than
four q week. Judged by the re

1t says: THE United States partic-

Venezuelan controversy is regarded, in
mGny quarters, as unfortunate, and as
hindering the result of the negotia-
tons. Certainly we would have reach
ed the object desired more rapidly,
and better, if we had been let alone
with Venezuela, but every politician
who knows the A B G of this question,
knew absolutely in advance that we
would not have been let alone.
Means for eliminating the United
States from the controversy of the Eu-
ropean Powers with Venezuela there
were not. and there are not now. A
statesman who had acted on this as
sumption would have lost the game

ENGLAND's COLOR LINE.
Her Problem Much the Same ms That

From the London Express.

From the London Express.
Throughout the whole British EN-
pire, wherever the white man is con-
fronted by the black man en- masse,
the prejudice against the latter is Bit
ter in the extreme.
The theory of equality, the imam and
brother" doctrine. however beautiful 1t
may appear on paper, is absolutely I'M
workable in the practice of everyday
life. We rule our OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
South Africa, the West Indies, Cey-
Ion, Australia, the Straits Settlements
by a rigid enforcement of the SUI
periority of the white man. And this
is inevitable, and it is as necessary as
it is inevitable.
We should not hold India for day
did we not realize and act up to the
well-proved and absolutely undeniable
fact that the white man, in all essen
tails, is UNNECESSARILY the superior of
the black.
of course, to the ignorant, untravel-
ed sentimentalist this is appalling;
and he will Indignantly deny the truth
of my assertion. To many an untrav-
eled cockney the black man DIS as good
as, If, indeed. he is not better, than the
white man.
But to the initiate, to the minority
who know, as opposed to the unthink-
ing majority who do not know, the
suppression of the black man is a
stern duty. Nothing, surely, is more
remarkable than the dislike and dis
trust of the black which is invariably
felt by the white when he encounters
the former in the mass. There must be
a reason for this.
Carlyle and Froude--the latter to me
personally-both pronounced the eman-
cipation of the slaves in America a
very mixed blessing indeed. And GER
tain 1t is that in the old days the con-
dition of things between white and
black was infinitely happier and more
desirable. safer and more natural, than
1t is to-day.
For one Legree there were hundred
owners who treated their slaves as
friends more than servants: to-day
there is nothing but hatred between
the two.
In India. OF course. the line of de-
markation is necessarily very right.
