COWBOY LIFE
AS UNCONVENTIONAL, IF NOT AS
 ROMANTIC, As. PICTURED.
Table Equipment Not Particularly Lux urlOus-Each "Puncher' Has
 Liberal Supply of Mounts.

(Mahzanola, Col, Correspondence of
 the Baltimore News.)
 The everyday life of the cowboy of the present may not be quite the TO- mantle, spectacular affair represented in the Wild West Show, but still the Fastener, coming in contact for the first time with the life of the cattle camp and the roundup, is likely to find the experience unique one. Through the courtesy of Mir. William J. Wilson. of Denver. one of the Colora- do cattle kings, the writer has had the pleasure of going with one of the outA fits on COW hunt through the south eastern part of the State, and of seeing something of cowboy life in its various phases.
 This is the shipping season. and the life of the cowpuncher at this time is strenuous one. His day begins at 4;3O o'clock in the morning, when he is awakened by a vigorous punch in the ribs and the announcement that chuck" is ready. The story is told breakfast the first morning after his arrival, replied; Thank you, but don't care for two suppers the same night" Usually, however, the magic word chuck" Is sufficient to arouse the drowsiest cowboy. and with a lick and a promise at his toilet he Is ready for action.
 There is very little style about cattle camp and the man who stands on ceremony Is likely to go hungry Each man grabs his tin cup and tin plate and helps himself from the var ious pots and kettles, and then they all squat around the campfire like lot of Indians. Mir. Wilson has the reputa- tion among the boys of furnishing the best chuck of any COW man in Colo rado. and the boys show their appre- ciation of this fact in a very convinc- ing manner.
 Breakfast over. the boys saddle their horses and gallop off to the herd or to the roundup. Each man Is allowed seven horses (called his "mount"), which he rides In turn. An Fastener may wonder at the number of horses required. but he would not if he could see the way the cowboys ride. The usual gait is a sweeping gallop, and this is kept up, over smooth ground and rough. One horse cannot stand this gait more than a few hours, and then he has to be turned loose and a fresh one saddled. This drove of loose

wOuId settIe Negro auestion.

Whenever the white men by stick Ing together can carry the elections without much difficulty they will stick together and the necessity for disfran- chising the negro will cease.
 Ambassador Mayor des Planches ex- pected to start South about this time. but an arbitration treaty between the United States and Italy is in process of negotiation Later on there come the usual social obligations of an early Washington winter Late in January. however, the Ambassador will start through the Southern States on a tour of inspection. He has already received many invitations from important cities, and later on, when the purpose of his visit becomes understood. probably he will be flooded with requests for stops, because the demand for labor through out the entire South can scarcely be ap- preciated by the Northern people It is enormous and is growing daily. and unless l am much mistaken the Am bassador is likely to be overwhelmed by the llberallty of offers of assistance in his work, which will come to him from every important section of the Southern States

The negro will remain in the South by millions in all human probability . He cannot be driven out, nor should he be. The one scientific solution of the race problem seems to be. not to remove the negro from the South, but to increase the strength of the white men in the South.
 The negro Is not a menace in the Northern States because the colored population is so small there that the white element completely overshadows the black contingent. and the two races work side by side in general harmony.
 The negro is a menace to the South because in many sections he largely Outnumbers the whites, and if given political control would beyond doubt put every department of local and State governments Into the hands of negroes to the absolute exclusion of the whites, and to the ultimate certain destruction of property interests in those cOmmuni- ties.

cren. Influx of Italians.

During the fiscal year which closed with the last day of June, 1903, out of S57,O46 steerage passengers to the United States listed by the immigration bureau, no less than 2SS,546 were for mer subjects of the King of Italy. Of this enormous influx of Italians only 37,429 were from the northern prov inces of Italy. The remainder, 1s7,117, were of the class known to immigra- tion officers as South Italians.
 These immigrants from Southern Italy are practically all of the agricul- tural class. One would expect to find them leaving the seaboard and going into the interior. taking up land and developing the country, as did the Scandinavians and Germans, who prov ed to be such important factors in the building up of the Northwest.
 Possibly it was the climate of the Northern States which kept these Southern Italians out of the fields, but more probably 1t was their poverty which required them to earn a living within a few hours after their arrival in the home of the brave and land o' the free.

 Let me run over the figures. There are 26 for Arkansas, T for Georgia, ? for North Carolina, Il for South Caro- lima, 151 for Texas apd CT for Virginia. There were 4.S15 South Italians who went to Louisiana. A large percent ago of them engaged in the fruit busi- ness in New Orleans and other towns, while there were a few, some of whom saw at work, who went Into the cot tor plantations in that State.

Result of PadrOne Evil.
 One can readily understand that the Scandinavians. the Germans and the Irish should naturally have held them selves close to the Northern States. where climatic conditions were simi- lar to those they had left at home. By this same law of climatic conditions the South Italians should have gone in to our Southern States. It so hap pened when they began to come here practically all Of them were in one way or another under the influence of the padrone system, which best fiourishes in the large cities, in the great manu- featuring centers, or in mining and railroad work. where men could be sold to employers in large blocks.
 The padrone system has been large ly destroyed, but the tide of Italian inn migration has naturally followed be- tween the dikes which were originally built by the padrones and which, have heard 1t whispered, were at least ig- nored if not encouraged by certain off cials of the Italian Government here in America in years gone by.
 The new Italian Ambassador is Q progressive man. He has been shocked at the congestion of his countrymen in the great cities and in the mines and railroad camps. His attention has been invited to the South. At first he had the broad acres of Texas more partic- ularly in view, but within the last week or so his attention has been more or less directed to the fact that in Georgia. Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana there are thousands upon thousands of acres of the finest kind of land which can be had almost for the asking. That is to say, tine South ern owners will hire any man who comes along, white or black, for wages or they will rent the land for a small sum, payable either in cash or produce when the crop is harvested. or they will rent the plantation on shares and ad- vance as much as he needs to culti- Vate the land.
 Sig. Edmondo Mayor des Planches, the Italian Ambassador, has studied the question since his arrival, has re- ported the situation to his Govern ment and has been instructed to take the preliminary steps to divert the Italian immigrants in this country into the South and Southwest. The infiu- ence of the Ambassador is enormous, and when he makes up his mind as to the best locality this country is likely to see an influx of agricultural white labor into the South, which, in the course of a few years would restore the balance of power and place it once more in the hands of the white men.

Lawyer Claims This in Case of ARasss

 Washington Special.
 The Attorney General to-day rave an opinion in which he holds that a treas ury warrant issued in favor of the State of Massachusetts and now held by a Washington attorney under a power of attorney on the plea that his fees have not been paid, must be turn ed over to the St0te, and that should the attorney rsfuas to do so, the war rant should be cancelled and a new warrant issued to the State.
 About IS months ago Congress ap. propriated about S1,s0O,oO0 to reim- purse Massachusetts for expenses ln- cured in fitting out troops during the Civil War, including interest and pre- mium on gold paid by the State. Pre- viously the State authorities had enter ed into a contract with a Washington lawyer to act as State agent in looking after the claim and agreed to allow him 10 per cent. of the amount received. The attorney now holds the warrant and, 1t is said refuses to turn it over to the State until his fee Sl60,0O0 is paid. The State contends that the fee is grossly excessive and makes other allegations tending to show that the attorney is not entitled to the fee claimed.
 The Attorney-General holds that the warrant belongs to the State, and that the attorney has recourse to the courts to establish his rights in the matter.

Italian. tn Go south,

In brief the Italian Ambassador, act ing, it is to be presumed, with the full co-operation of his own Government, Is taking steps to divert the floodtide of Italian immigration away from the ten ement house districts Of New York, Bal timore and Philadelphia, away from the crowded manufacturing towns of New England, away from the railroad camps and mining towns, into the Southland into the sunshine and into the kind of agricultural conditions to which these sturdy but poor tmmi- grants are accustomed.
 This Is by no means little job, but the time seems ripe for an undertaking of this character. and If existing con ditions in the Southern States are stud- fed intelligently 1t will readily be dis covered that the turning of the tide of Italians into the great agricultural States of the South will soon solve the race question. te

 to Solve Labor

4 Washington letter to The Chicago Tribune says that Sig. Edmondo Mayor des Pianehes, Ttaly's Ambassador to the United States, has undertaken a work which, if 1t is carried through success fully, will be of vast benefit to the United States. because 1t seems likely to be the first real beginning of a scientific solution of the vexed race question.
 The aim of the Ambassador is to ben eft his countrymen who are now arrfv- ing Tn the United States literally by the hundreds of thousands every year. If he is successful the benefit to these Italian immigrants cannot be doubted.
 What the people of the United States wlll be most of all interested fin learn ing is the fact that these intelligent la- borers of the Ambassador from Italy arc of such character that in the end they are almost certain. if successfully conducted to revolutionize industrial conditions in the Southern States. and thereby to eliminate the race ques- fion as a threatening social and politi- cal problem of American life.

 According to these figures for the same fiscal year. 's1.T74 of these i'm migrants were ticketed to New York State. 42.6s6 to Pennsylvania, and 18,- 731 to Massachusetts. Taking the New England States. with New York, Penn sylvania and New Jersey. 1t win be seen that 17s.4S3 of these South Italians wero in a single year packed into the country north of the Potomac and east of the mountains.
 It is no wonder that this fact itself was sufficient to attract the attention of the Italian Government. It natural ly began to look around for some means by which to better the conditions of the Italians coming to this country. Speaking in round numbers, only 20 per cent of the South Italians seemed to get away from the Northern Allan tic seaboard. A vast majority crowd the tenements of New York, Boston and Philadelphia. others are building railroads in the East and living in filthy, movable huts. while stilI others die like sheep in the miserable novels which shelter the laborers in the mines of Pennsylvania, Maryland and West Virginia.
 It would be hard to imagine an en- vironment more completely at odds with the old home life of these former denizens of sunny Italy.

Reads No More Law To Wife.

A young student of the Baltimore Law School, whose honeymoon has not yet begun to wane. was entertaining his wife recently by reading extracts from a wel1.known text book of legal lore and thoughtIessly read this quo tation:
 Strange to say, a man has no in- surable interest in the life of his mother-in-law."
 And it took that young husband ful- fy an hour to convince his wife that hs had not selected that particular ex- tract from among hundreds of others, and that there was absolutely no irony in his voice.
 The young man has stopped reading law to his wife.

New Highway of Diplomacy.

These are big things to talk about, and of course they may never come true. but the Italian Ambassador IS in earnest, and he seems to have left the beaten track of diplomatic methods and started into a new highway of most promising character.
 It should of course be understood that Sig. Mayor has not undertaken the work of revolutionizing the American social fabric. His sole aim is to bene- fit his poor countrymen. and he will probably be as much surprised as any one to find how extravagantly popular he will become in the South when his plan and those of the Government he represents are fully understood there.
 if seems almost absurd to say that possible solution of the race question in America could by any means come from sunny Italy, and yet this is more

Homes WaItInE in the south.

In the South today. in South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkan- sas, Louisiana, and more particularly In Texas, there are hundreds of thous- ands of acres of land which is lying idle merely for want of laborers to scratch the soil. The labor supply of the South today is confined to the ne- gro as it was in 1860. There are op- portunities to develop coal, iron, lum- ber and other natural products, to say nothing of the increased production of cotton, sugar. rice and other staples, which have been neglected all these years. Tens of millions of people have come into the United States, and yet scarcely any at all have reached the South.
