CANDIDATES OF FUTURE.
Log Cabin and Farm Features win
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
in our time" said an old politician as
he laid down his paper, according to-
the New York Sun.
II have just read" he continued,
"that number of college students
have been engaged as conductors on a
| trolley line in nearby city. Not long
ago l read another article about college
students who had been engaged as
walters or guides, and in one case
about young man who had hired out,
to do scullery work in a hotel at q
summer resort.
"The log cabin boy and the farmer
boy are becoming scarce in this coun-
try Mr.. Fairbanks was 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 ceun-
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 liz
the college clubs or coach to some COLI
lege team.
Every boy is going to college now,
or will be within the next 25 years.
The farmer of the future will be
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 in
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 off 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 a factory learning trade;
or he is becoming an electrician; maybe
is working as waiter in tavern. But
you won't find him following the plow.
"If you want to run him down in tho
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
i more.
"Out of the great community of boys
growing up will come the next presi-
dents. The writers 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"

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 undef
10 years Of age and from II to Is per
cent. of them have white blood in their
veins. The center of this black popu-
lation is De Kalb county, Ala, 1t hav-
ing moved from Dinwiddie county, Va.
northeast ATS miles, since 1890.
Thus, says the Kansas City Journal,
the negro population constitutes about
one-fifteenth Of the city population and
one-seventh Of the country population
of continental United States. This
proposition, although still large, Is the
result OF steady decline during tho
nineteenth century. The death rate
Of negroes approximate 30 per cent,
while that of the whites is IL per
cent
At present fully 80 per cent. of the ne-
groes live in the southern states and 77
per cent. Of them reside upon farms.
But the northern migration to the big.
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 upon
negroes living in the big cities.
The largest number of negroes living
in compact masses are found in certain
urban counties, several of which lie
outside the great cotton growing states.

A stature that shall shame our petty

the sea was green and purple and
amethyst. Everywhere the Sun, every

her bare throat rose wildly white, and
