CANDIDATES OF FUTURE.
Cabin and Farm Features wiz
Not Be So Much in Evidence
as in the Past.

when the next generation reads
the history of presidential candidates
it will not find the farm and log cabin
Incidents that we have been reading
in our time" said an old politician as
he laid down his paper, according to
the New York Sun.
: 81 have just read" he continued.I
THAT a number of college students;
have been engaged as conductors on a.
trolley line in nearby city. Not long
ago read another article about coilegel
students who had been engaged as
walters or guides, and in one case
about a young man who had hired out
to do scullery work in hotel at q
summer resort.
1.-The log cabin boy and the farmer
boy are becoming scarce in this coun-
try Mr.. Fairbanks was a farmer lad,
but he quit the work as soon as he
saw an opportunity to get ahead In
another business. Some of the papers
have referred to Judge Parker as q
farmer, but he is not farmer In the
common acceptation Of that word.
THE future presidents of the coun-
try are on the trolley lines, or acting as
walters. Better be polite to these young
men you meet on the street cars. Some
of the futures may be banjo players IN
the college clubs or coach to some col
lege team.
Every boy is going to college now.
or will be within the next 25 years.
The farmer of the future will be a
hired man. The son of the owner will
be prepared for professional life as
soon as he can make it.
"The story of the boy who got his
schooling in the little schoolhouse i'm
the country is nearly threadbare now.
The country schoolhouse is moving out
of sight pretty rapidly. If you find one
anywhere in the woods, take OF your
| hat and salute it. If you see farm
house on the roadside, give it your bless
! ing.
THE boy is not in the field. He is
| somewhere in factory learning trade;
or he is becoming an electrician; maybe
| is working as a waiter in tavern. But
| you won't find him following the pillow.
| eff you want to run him down in the
night, you will find him pursuing his
| studies under an electric light The
boy you used to hear about. who chopped
wood all day and then studied by the
light of the fire, is not to be found any
| more.
"Out of the great community of boys
growing up will come the next presi-
dents. The writer's in search of ma
terial to make up their histories will
have new field. The log house and
farm feature will not figure in the his
tory Of the campaign in ten or fifteen
| years from now"

CANNOT TRUST ROOSEVELT
Why Conservative Men of Affairs Pre-
fer Judge Parker to the Re
publican Candidate

That Spencer Trask, head of the
great New York banking house of
Spencer Trask & Co.. has decided to
support Alton B. Parker for president,
is one of the many announcements in
dicating a strong drift among business
men toward the democratic candidate.
Mr.. Trasks reasons for deciding upon
the course indicated are not less inter-
esting than the fact itself. In explain
alton of his attitude, he says:
while President Roosevelt has been
much more subdued and very quiet for
the last two months, there is no telling
when he will break out again. particu-
larIy if he should be elected for a full
term of four years. In lay opinion this
is not the time to take chances. The
personalities of the two candidates are
before US, and we must judge them by
the past | do not think there can
be any question that Judge Parker is
a much safer man than President
Roosevelt. Judge Parker has at all
times shown a disposition to be calm
and deliberative, to observe the law and
the constitution, instead of his own
personal desires President Roosevelt's
course, on the other hand, has always
shown a tendency toward recklessness
and a disregard of law"
Mr. Trask was Blaine republican
in 1884, being great personal ad-
mirer as we'll as political supporter of
the "plumed knight" In 1888 and
1892, he supported Cleveland, and in
| 1896 and 1900 Mckinley. He is an in
dependent republican, but in common
with hundreds of other business men
he realizes and remembers that Roose-
welt under restraint. during the cam
| paign, and Roosevelt, elected to the
| presidency, are two very different men.
| In other words, Mr.. Trask feels just
like that Indiana. man, with little
money invested, who said, the other
! day: 81 wish l could be sure, when
go to bed at night. what Roosevelt will
do in the morning"

SOME NEGRO STATISTICS.
Death Rate in This Country Nearly
Twice That of the White
Race

The final census bulletin on the negro
population shows that there are 9,204,-
531 negroes in the United States, in
Guiding Alaska Hawaii and Porto Rico.
Half of this great number are under
10 years of age and from IL to Is per
cent. of them have white blood in their
veins. The center of this black popu-
iation is De Kalb county, Ala, it hav-
ing moved from Dinwiddie county, Va,
northeast 476 miles, since 1890.
Thus, says the Kansas City Journal,
the negro population constitutes about
one-fifteenth of the city population and
oneseventh of the country population
of continental United States. This
proposition, although still large, is the
result of a. steady decline during the
nineteenth century. The death rate
of negroes approximates 80 per cent.
while that of the whites Is II per
cent.
At present fully 80 per cent of the ne.
groes live in the southern states and "a
per cent. of them reside upon farms
But the northern migration to the bis
cities has been noticeable during the
last two decades, and Is in large meas
ure responsible for the excessive death
rate among them. Bad habits, poverty
and disease make terrible inroads upoI

The largest number of negroes livinf

are District of Columbia, coextensiv'
with Washington; Shelby county, Tenn

form one-third Of the population of the
entire south and 1876 per cent. of then
are reckoned among bread winners, as
against 46.9 per cent. of the southern
whites, but these figures apparently in
| favor of the southern black men are &C.
counted for by the prevalence of female
| labor among the negroes. Among fe-
| males at least ten years of age, Al per
