FOLKS NAME CHEERED.
A Tribute Paid to the ST. Louis Prosecutor
by a Pittsburg Man Was Loudly
AppIauded.

ST. Joseph, Mo-, July 2.-The name Of
Joseph w. Folk, the st. Louis circuit
attorney and Doodle prosecutor, was
loudly cheered at Fridays session Oh
the Young Peoples Christian union.
Rev. H. H. Marlin, of Pittsburg, made
an address in which he said:
There is a man in this state in
whom the worlds manhood is justly
proud and he is the product or COM
mon vital faith. OF Americans this
man is among the bravest and noblest.
If the corruption he uncovered is Mis-
souri's shame, the man who had the
courage to lift the lid from a malodo-
rous iniQuity is Missouri's glory. Other
states possess as deep a guilt, as black
a stain, as base a treachery against
the public trust, but they have not as
yet manifested that they hold within
their borders man of his stature and
moral power"
He said Missouri owns in Mr.. Folk
a king and believes that the people
possess the righteous convictions which
will give him a crown and throne. In
closing, he dramatically exclaimed:
Hail to the man whom no one owns
but God" Throughout the address
the speaker was interrupted by deafen-
ing applause.

THE NEGRO THRIVES
Big Increase in Number of Blacks
in the United States.
Over Nine Million Under the United
States Flag and n Great Per
Cent. of Them Are
IIliterate.

Washington, July 2.-The census
bureau has issued the final bulletin
on the negro population. The number
of negroes in the United States, in
cluding the entire area covered by the
twelfth census continental United
States, Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico)
is 9,204 ,53I, perhaps larger number
than is found in any other country out
side of Africa.
The report indicates that between II
and 16 per cent. of negroes have white
blood. The center of the negro popula-
ton is in DeKalb county, Ala, having
moved from Dinwiddie county, Va, 476
miles northeast, since 1890. More than
II per cent. of the negroes live in the
country, against more than 81 per cent.
of the whites. Almost 80 per cent. of
the ngroes in continental United States
are in the southern states and three
tenths of them are in Georgia, Mis-
sissippi and Alabama. There was an
increase among the negroes of 40
SIS, or Is per cent, in cOntlnental
United States. but the rate of increase
declined steadily through the nine
teenth century The negroes. unlike
the Indians and the native white. have
a slight excess of females. Illiteracy
among them is about seven times
greater than among the whites. Their
death rate approximates so per cent,
while that of whites under the same
calculation is II per cent.
The district in which the proportion
of negroes is greatest lies in the Mis-
sissippi alluviaI region along both
banks of the lower Mississippi, where
five-eighths of the population is negro,
the maximum being in IssaQuena coun-
ty, Miss, with more than 10 negroes
to each white person. Negroes form
one-third of the population of the
south, while in the north they are
about one-fortieth of city and one
ninetieth of country population. Half
the negroes in the United States are
under 19 years old, this median age
being four years below the whites.
