undertaking, therefore, for Russia TO

Ii Is now evident that Gen. KnlOpat-

that the army with which he set out
for the battle now raging was superior
in numbers to the opposing japanese
force The japanese have all the

have as many men in the field as the

them The fall of Port Arthur, which

The heart can be unshadowed when

Can keep us just as happy as His Love

GO SOUTH FOR A VISIT.

The Chicago Tribune. which is be-
coming so sensible and leveI-heaied
in many of its editorial ut.erances
that IL will soon be forced out of
the Republican party, advises north
ern people who contemplate visit
to new scenes to visit .he south when
they can. to study the negro problem
The Tribune says:
There are some northerners who
know more about Germany and about
Italy. and perhaps about tho roman
tic AMI picturesque Balkan peninsula
than they do about Georgia, and South
Carolina, and Texas Consequently
they show more sense when they are
talking about lese majesty, or about
the temporal power of the pope, or
about Turkish oppression than they
DO when hey are talking about the
right Of the negro to vote.
1T is so easy 10 think that just be-
cause you live in country you must
understand IL. The sOu.herner and
the northerner are fellow-citizens.
They owe allegiance to the same flag
Therefore, the northerner Is perfect
~ capable to tell the southerner how
% settle the negro question.
"The negro question is greater
than any other question in America.
And It is aot only greater but more
delicate. II is a matter Of social as
well as Of political AMI industrial life
so. more than almost any other ques-
ton that could be imagined. IL needs
personal experience. The occa sional
negro of the north is not an adequate
basis for studying the negro Of the
south. In the south the negro in many
communities outnumbers the white
and here Is a possibility Of negro
rule
Therefore. northerner. If you have
time and money 10 visit new scenes

there for a few years They Ion
