figures do not warrant any serious ap-
prehension concerning the increase Of
the black race In the South, they
strongly confirm the view that the
negro race must be regarded as per-
manent element in our population. The
bulletin shows that in 1900 there were
9,204,531 blacks in the United States,
Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico, a
larger number than is found in any
other country outside Of Africa. In
view Of these figures the moral and
intellectual improvement Of the race
and the betterment Of its industrial
and social condition must continue to
engage the thought and activity of
some Of the best minds in this country.

1t is probably a fact that most Of
the farming Of the country Is done on
a haphazard plan. The bulk of the
knowledge of agriculture consists Of
experience acquired on that plan, hand
ed down from father to son. AS to
the science Of the greatest of all
sources Of life and wealth, compare
lively speaking, there Is as yet little
Consequently, farming, considered eco
nomically, is in an undeveloped state.
Where it is conducted on a large scale
there is naturally great waste. These
conditions are a strong argument in
favor Of Representative Rixey's bill,
recently introduced in Congress, pro-
posing a bureau Of agricultural educa
ton to teach practical farming, such
as the best methods Of cultivation, the
refertilizing of exhausted soil, etc.

1t appears from the census bureaus
bulletin on the negro population that
in the country districts of the South
excluding the 242 cities which had at
least $500 inhabitants both in 1890
and 1900, the negroes increased from
1890 to 1900 over 16 per cent; in the
242 Southern cities as q whole they
increased 21.7 per cent. In the coun-
try districts their increase was about
two-thirds as rapid as that of the
whites in the same area, while their
increase in Southern towns was five
siXths as fast as that of the whites In
the five Southern cities having at least
100000 inhabitants in 1900 the negro
population increased 25.S per cent from
1890 to 1900 The white population of
the same cities increased only 20S per
cent. In the thirty-eight cities of this
class in continental United States the
percentage Of increase was 38 for ne
groes and 1921 for whites. While these

A desire to see his picture in the
paper recently prompted an 8-year-old
boy in Massachusetts, to set fire that
destroyed property worth $4,000. The
ambition failed in this instance. There
is hint here for the newspapers that
maintain rogues' galleries. No doubt
notorlety fosters crime in those whose
intellects are only children's size.
