Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas Louis-
lana, and more particularly In Texas
there are other hundreds of thousands
of acres of land which are lying idle
merely for want of laborers to scratch
the soil The labor supply of the south
today is confined to the negro, as 1t
was I'm 1850. with the added drawback
that the negro seems to have lost the
incentive, II he ever had the desire to
work There are opportunities to de-
velop coal, iron, lumber, and other nat
ural products to say nothing of the in
creased production Of cotton, sugar.
rice and other staples, which have been
neglected all these years. Tho DESERT
ed and hilly plantation where q straight
drawn furrow means later "a washed
out ditch and a loss Of fertile soil, offer
splendid opportunity for vineyards and
the employment Of precisely the sort
OF skill and labor that Is being worse
than wasted in the northern cities.
Conditions Of climate In the southern
states are very similar to those in
southern Italy.
II is Signor Des Planches' plan to es-
tablish a colonization bureau for the
purpose Of inducing his countrymen to
take advantage of the opportunities
offered them in the south. II he may
succeed he has settled not only one
but two problems that are growing
serious. the supply of the labor need
cd to develop the agricultural south
and the relief Of northern cities from
the congested and under the present
conditions unassimilable Italian pop
ulation. II the southern born Italian
may be successfully transplanted into
his own latitude in the United States
there Is no reason why in time the
ragged and undeveloped hills of the
south may not blossom In cultivated
plots and climbing vineyards like the
sunny slopes Of Italy where every inch
OF available ground pays toll to indus
try. :.
Signor Des Planches' scheme carried
out necessarily includes the develop
ment Of the negro. The black people oil
the south will never be widely improv-
cd except under the spur Of necessity
and the success OF Des Planches' plar
means white strength in the south ant
the problem Of existence placed before
the negroes. They must choose be-
tween work and starvation, and nec-
essity Is the best organizer. The Negro
will remain in the south by millions ir
all probability. He cannot be driver
out. nor should he be. The one scien-
tiflc solution OF the race problem seems
to be not to remove the negro from the
south, but to place him In q position
where bare existence means the will
| ingness to labor. This is the lesson
the south Italians, the Bohemians and
other Europeans who have Inherited
habits of industry and economy are
\ likely to teach him.

the effort to invalidate the plainly ex-
pressed wish Of the people. 1t Is not
pretended that any rights or privilege
will suffer If the amendment stands
and the effort to nullify its adoption is
only fostered and kept alive by means

HAT CHECKS AND PASSENGERS.

Considerable attention and comment
| Is being given to n case on trial In the
courts at Bloomington, Illinois where
the plaintiffs are asking $4,000 dam
ages for having been elected from n
railway train. The facts, briefly
stated, are that the complaining pas
sengers had given tickets to the con-
ductor and received train checks from
Chicago to st. Louis. They failed later
to produce the checks when demande
and were put Off the train at Bloom
ington. The case has brought out much
discussion Of the hat check custom.
In case there Is no law bearing upon
the custom Of checking passengers, 1t
Is evident that q custom so universal
should be regulated and fully under
stood. 1t Is impossible for conductors
to remember every passenger and hts
destination, in a crowded train, and he
should be protected against fraud by
some authorized system Of checking.
The present hat check plan protects
the railway company. The conductor
understands his own heroglyphics, but
the passenger who exchanges his ticket
for the little strip Of paper market with
cabalistic figures, doesn't know wheth-
er his hat check reads to Podunk or
San Francisco. II thru accident he is
left midway at a station, his hat check
is scarcely receipt for his ticket. IT
has neither signature nor face value. II
he rides to his destination on the check
1t Is thru the favor Of another conduc-
tor who takes a chance of losing his
position, when he grants the favor
The conductor and the railway COM
pany should have full protection
against designing passengers. There
is also something coming to the pas
senger who has paid for transporta-
ton. He should be, so far as possible.
protected against accident, mistake
and design. It would not be easier, but
would be much more satisfactory II,
instead Of a. hat check. the passengers
check might show plainly his desti-
nation and constitute receipt for his
ticket. and the laws should compel him
to produce his receipt on demand.
There are passengers who are dead
beats and conductors who are not gen
tlemen. The railway company should
have protection against the one and
the travelling public against the other.

which these sturdy but poor immi-
I s,ra,,ts are accustomed. AS matters now

ANSWER TO Yoen Contest.

D. NJ. Delmas, as attorney for Eva
line Amelia Levy, favorite daughter of
j. Alexander Yoell and chief bene-
ficiary under his will. yesterday filed
q brief In answer to the contest filed
by the daughters, Ellen Yoell, Beatrice
Yoell and Emily F. Dunn. The an
swer denies the charge that Yoell was
of unsound mind and not competent
to make will at the time the docu-
ment in question was signed by him.
Yoell was a Santa Clara pioneer and

large estate. The contestants are the
daughters Of his second wife, who at
the time of his separation from her
was decided half of the estate. Ellen
and Beatrice were left $4,000 each and
Mrs. Dunn nothing,
