is 1T TO BE A RACE PROBLEM?

There is theory among some of
those who study the stars, that nations
are ruled by their own planets and suns
and that they run their courses in about
twenty-five hundred and fifty years.
Some exist longer, but they are like DR..
Osler's old men, the spring is gone, they
never more accomplish any new thing,
and for all they are to the worlds pro-
gress might as well be chloroformed
Since the Russo-Japanese war began,
some men have watched the progress and
have been wondering if similar inAu-
ences may not have their effect upon
races. The Caucasian has from the
first ruled the world. Is he about to
step down and pass under the yoke of
the Brown and Yellow races? 1t comes
from China that newspapers are increas-
ing with wonderful rapidity in that ire
mendous empire and that large pro-
portion of the books being issued by
Chinese authors during the past two
years have been devoted to the art of
waging wars, to the discussion of the
sciences, especially such as are chiefly
invoked in prosecuting nations in
dustries, and the thought is that the
great empire is about to throw off its
immemorial inertia and to begin new
career. The reader will remember the
farewell words of the late Chinese min
lister WI, which were equivalent to those
carried to Rome in the old days:
"You have thrown down the challenge
to U.S. See that your walls be strong"
As military men read what japanese
generals and admirals are doing, they
are forced to admit that nothing is
lacking in their science, while the men
behind the guns on sea and land are
giving the world new lessons of what
valor and patriotism are when called
out to the very utmost.
Is this eastern war but the beginning
of struggle to determine whether the
white man or the brown and yellow
men are to dominate this old world?
There are seven hundred millions of
those races in Japan, China and India,
and grasshoppers when they fall thick

enough are sufficient to stop railroad
train.
These are days when the seers who
read the stars should be busy.
Though the great Pacific rolls be-
tween our country and Asia, our ma
ton next to Russia is most directly
interested in this matter, for already
one hundred thousand Japanese are on
our soil and those who are near them
and watch their ways. insist that as
between them and the Chinese, the lat
ter are to be preferred. They have all
the Chinese vices, thy have less graft
tude for favors done, they are less reli-
able, less faithful. The west coast is
clamoring loudly for an expulsion law
to prohibit their coming, and fear that
before the country can be educated up
to demand it, half a million of the brown
invaders will be upon our soil.
But there is trouble about this that
never attached to the Chinese ques.
ton. 1t is said that Japan has made
several overtures of peace to Russia, but
with everyone is coupled demand for
q mighty indemnity. Suppose the peace
comes and with it an indemnity suffic-
lent to reimburse Japan for all she has
lost except the lives of her soldiers,
what then? How will she receive no.
tice that this country no longer desires
to receive her people, she who has a
treaty that she shall stand on the plane
Of the most favored nations?
She will have the biggest case of
swelled head ever seen. What if her
answer should be: "Our gates were
closed, we asked for no intercourse with
the outside world. You sent your war
ships with threat to batter down
those gates unless We voluntarily
opened them. We complied. That was
only fiftyfour years ago. Now if you
attempt to close your Golden Gate
against us, we will do what you threat
ened to do then"
That would mean real business. We
do not doubt the result, but it would
be costly war and would tax the
finances and the valor of the nation as
they have not been taxed for a long
time.
In this connection, we believe that
Japan sincerely desires peace with us,
that she would sooner fight any two
powers of the old world than the United
States, but her head will be immensely
swelled and she will not be afraid.
At the same time if her coolies drift
ing this way are becoming a menace
even as the Chinese were, they will have
to be kept out, for the working men and
women of this land are the lands bull
wark and must be protected.
In the meanwhile there should be new
erceasing work on our navy in building
new battleships and in training the men
to handle and fight them, for in the
event of a war with any power, as we
are situated, the most of the work
would have to be done by the navy

COTTON SEED MEAL.
Provisions Regulating its Sale and
Manufacture.

The memorable fight waged by the
cotton seed meal interests of this State
against the proposed changes in the
cotton seed meal law regulating the
SALE inspection and branding of cotton
seed meal will be recalled my many,
and the act was adjusted to the entire
satisfaction of all concerned.
The new law places the minimum
per cent of ammonia for standard
meal at seven and one-half per cent.
Meal containing eight per cent or more
of ammonia is high grade meal and
may be so branded
All cotton seed meal offered for sale,
unless sold to manufacturers for use
in manufacturing fertilizers, shall
have plainly branded on the bag con-
tai1ing it, or on a tag attached
thereto the following data: Cd Cotton
seed meal with brand. Cd Weight Of
package. cd Ammonia or nitrogen.
(4) Name and address of manufac-
turer
All cotton seed meal sold for use
as fertilizer or feed shall, be subject
to an inspection tax of twenty cents
per ton.
Any person, or firm who shall offer
for sale any cotton seed meal without
the proper tax tags attached thereto.
or who shall use the required tags a
second time shall be liable to a pen
atty of ten dollars for each separate
bag. Any who shall offer for sale
cotton seed meal contrary to the new
law shall be guilty of a misdemeanor,
and the meal shall be subject to seiz-
ure, condemnation and sale by the
Commissioner of Agriculture.

MINERAL INTERESTS.
Partition When Title is Separated
From Surface.

One of the reforms made by the
Legislature in reference to mineral
interests was an amendment to sec
ton 1892 of The Code, so as to pro-
vide for the partition of mineral in
terests when title to the same has
become separated from the surface.
The Act provides that when the title
to such interest in any lands has be-
come separated from the surface in
ownership, the tenants in common
may have partition, distinct from the
surface, and without joining, as par
ties, the owner of the surface, and the
tenants in common of the surface may
have partition, distinct from the min
eral interests and without joining as
parties the owner of the mineral in
terests. In all instances where such
interests have become separated in
ownership the owner of the mineral
interests shall not be compelled to join
in a partition of the surface interests,
and vice versa, nor shall the rights of
either owner be prejudiced by a par
tition.
In case of the partition of the min
eral interests where it shall be made
to appear to the court that it would
be for the best interests of the ten
ants in common to have the same
sold, or if actual partition can not be
had without injury to some or all of
such tenants in common, then it shall
be the duty of the court to order a
sale Of such mineral interest and the
division of the proceeds as the inter-
ests Of the parties may appear.

to Pay Taxes.

A law to protect sheriffs who have
prosecuted or MAJ hereafter prosecute
persons for failure to pay certain taxes
imposed by the General Assembly,
which may have been, or may here
after be declared unconstitutional,

businesses, trades, occupations and
professions. and as it was made the
duty Of sheriffs to collect such taxes.
and upon failure to collect the taxes
so imposed to arrest the person and
prosecute him for failure to pay such
taxes: and as certain of such enact
ments have been or NAV be held BY
the courts to be unconstitutional and
void and as some of the sheriffs have
arrested and prosecuted in good faith.
and may hereafter arrest and prose-
cute such persons who have failed or
NAV fail to pay such taxes; that no
action for damages shall be prosecuted
or maintained against any sheriff, or
his deputy who has arrested and
prosecuted or who may hereafter ar
rest and prosecute any person who has
refused, or may hereafter refuse to
nay any tax imposed by any act of
the General Assembly, whether such
act be declared valid or invalid.
