ever, cannot be raised without labor,
and the only available labor is negro.
The two "whitecap" counties have
been so thoroughly patrolled by the
hoodlums as to drive ont all negroes
except those under the direct protee-
ton of some white person, and no
negro laborers will come there from
neighboring States. The problem
which the people of those counties
now confront is. how to get negro
labor after expressly forbidding it to
apply.
There is familiar story about
somebody having killed "the goose
which laid tbe golden eggs. 1t looks
very much as if the whitecaps IN
question had done that thing for their
own counties. 1t is possible, of course.
that, as many people confidently
argue, white labor will replace that of
the negroes in the South, but that will
not be for some time to come, for inn
migration in agricultural regions Is
likely to be rather slow business.
Plenty of labor would be available to
make productive these hitherto I'M
productive cotton lands, before the
cotton boom subsidies, If the whitecaps
had not been so sure they knew what
was best for the country. 1t would be
interesting to know how they now
feel about it, in view of the fact that
the goose, apparently, is killed and
cooked.

the bottom of it; not the beer of COM
meree, not good light wines, but vii
famous drinks known 70 sailors
taverns and imbibed with the zest OF
one who has tasted nothing alcoholic
for many long weeks or MONTHS
When the sailor gets into trouble in
foreign port, and destroys furniture
or kills somebody, or gets killed HIM
self, it is apt to make trouble for his
home government in the person of the
consul, and doubtless incidents of this
kind, coming to his personal knowl-
edge, have helped Admiral Evans to
come to his conclusion ON the subject
of the desirability of the canteen.
But will the canteen be established?
An. there's the rub To establish 1t
would mean monster petitions signed
by multitudes of white ribbon people,
who believe sincerely that if man
drinks one glass of beer, it is just as
much a sin as if he drank fusel oil
whisky or some vile native drink of
q South American seaport. They
know, for a certainty, that the intro
duction of the canteen means IN
creased drunkenness in the navy.
They argue earnestly that the true
remedy for the trouble caused by
sailors sprees on shore is the estab-
hshment by every American consul of
Sailors Rest, at which the visiting
sailor may drink coffee, tea, burnt
cereal, or milk, and read innocuous
literature. That is why the eanteen IN
the army and the canteen in the navy
are alike doomed-heeause the people
who never taste liquor know so much
more about the subject than the peo-
pie who do.

this is neither here nor there The
point is that Admiral Evans has said.
