WILL THE NEGRO WORK.

The negro problem in the south
presents two aspects, each of which
has its own difficulties There is first
the social problem, which at the pres
ent time is an impasse. The negro
cannot cross the social line, and where
he is the preponderant portion of the
community numerically, it is we'll nigh
impossible to preserve it. The efforts
to segregate the negro are only par
TALLY successful.
The second division is the labor
problem The south is confronted
with the situation that while indus
trially that section has advanced by
leaps and bounds during the past fif-
teen years the natural supply of labor
has not only not increased in quantity
IN proportion, but has tended to dete-
rioriate in quality. This statement is
made on the authority of the Manu-
facturers' Record, which has recently
conducted thorough inquiry into the
subject.

TO DEFEAT CANAL PROJECT.
Organized Fight on Panama Route to
be Made-Favor Nicaragua.

WASHINGTON, Aug. pa con-
spiracy to defeat the construction of
the Panama canal, or at least, to delay
tne work, is on foot, and a fight will
be made on the floor of congress next
winter with this end in view.
This organized fight is to be made
for the purpose of convincing the
country and congress that the Panama
canal route is impossible; that the
canal cannot be built there; and that
the difficulties experienced by the Unit
ed States and those of the French
nave proven insuperable.
This fight will be made in the inter-
ests of the Nicaraguan route, which
such men as Senator Morgan still be-
lieve is the only practicable route.
Former Senator Warner Miller of
New York is named as the man who
will direct the fight. He still enter
tains the belief that the Nicaraguan
route is the only feasible one, and that
the canal cannot be constructed across
the isthmus of Panama. He is IA
miliar with both routes, and will be
able to furnish a vast amount of ma
terial with which to carry on the
fight.
J. D. Yeomans, formerly interstate
commerce commissioner, is declared to
be associated with former Senator
Miller in this undertaking. Some time
ago, Mr. Yeomans gave out a sensa-
tional interview. in which he stated
that it was a physical impossibility to
construct the Panama canal, and that
it would never be completed. The
railroad companies are also interested
in displaying and, if possible, prevent
ing the construction of the canal. and
it is declared, will give their assist
ance to those who will engineer this
scheme.

SHONTS' DISCOVERY.
peril.

Chairman Shonts, who has just re-
turned from the canal zone, admits
that it is still there. He also admits
that while work is not progressing
fast it has not stopped by any means.
Mr.. Shonts finds that the pressing
necessity for housing the work.
men on the canal. Originally, he says,
everybody's ambition was to see the
dirt fly. Nobody seems to have put in
much mental exertion on the problem
what to do with 10000 men who handle
the shovels.
Mr.. Shonts may be right. 1t would
not do to leave 10000 men out in the
rain to rust overnight. 1t is but
proper that they should be housed.
The fact that the first and second COM
missions did not think of it, shows the
wisdom of the president in substituting
for them a railroad man, who has made
study of the housing problem, and
who knows now essential it is that
even laboring men be fed and have a
decent place to sleep, if you expect
them to work.

BLOCKING THE C1TY's PROGRESS

If Walla Walla is to build a gravity
water system she must issue bonds to
pay for it, and in order to issue more
bonds the limit of Indebtedness must
be raised. The limit based upon the
present valuation of about four mil
lion dollars has been reached, and the
object of the mayor and council in
raising the valuation to six million dol
lars is to get a new basis of credit.
The raising of the valuation does not
necessarily imply the raising of taxes.
At present the rate of taxation is f1f-
valuation increased fifty per cent
would yield the same amount of mon
ey An eleven mill tax on six mil
lion dollar valuation would mean an
increase of ten cents on the hundred
dollars, or one dollar on each thou
sand, a total increase of only six thou
sand for the city.
the Statesman does not see how
the proposed new water system, now
an imperative necessity, can be built
without a heavy increase in the valua-
ton of city property as a basis for
credit in issuing bonds. To oppose this
increase is to place an insuperable
obstacle in the way of the construction
of the new water system. AS higher
valuation of property means a lower
rate of taxation, the Statesman fails to
see the grounds for opposition to the
proposed increase. The only plausible
objection that might be raised is that
if the city increases it's taxable valua-
ton half, the county and state will
place the same valuation upon Walla
Walla property, while maintaining the
present high rates of taxation. This
does not necessarily follow and it is
not likely that it would occur without
a corresponding raise in the valuation
of all property throughout the county
and a proportionate reduction in the
rate.
For the sake of the citys progress
the Statesman hopes to see the oppo-
sition to the establishment of a new
basis of credit withdrawn. If con-
tinued it will block public improve
ments most urgently needed and will
reduce the value Of every piece Of
property in the city. In this way it
will prove boomerang to the opposi-
in the long run than the few picay-
unes that they are now endeavroing
to save,

SEES THREAT IN HIS WORDS.
Buenos Ayres Newspaper Says Presi-
dent Struck at South America.

BUENOS AYRES, Argentine, Aug.
23.-The Press, commenting on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's speech, says:
President Roosevelt's statements
are an expression Of his aim to ce-
ment the position of the United States
among the world powers. The object
of his policy is not to protect South
America, but to increase the influence
of the United States.
This is not blamable, but it un-
deniably contains a threat to South
America.
President Monroe only stated that
the United States would not tolerate
European territorial conquests, while
Mr. Roosevelt assumed it to be a duty
to compel South American nations to
fulfill their obligations. South Amer
lea never recognized the doctrine nor
conferred on the United States any
right whatever. Mr.. Roosevelt's inter-
probation, therefore, is humiliating for
South America
The Prensa also says the extension
given to the Monroe doctrine with
out the adherence of South America
will be policy of violence.

MA TO PROTECT IRRIGA-
TON DAMS.
Reservation Superintendent Says De-
struetion Of Works Owned BY Gov
eminent Must be Stopped.

Federal troops may be called into the
Yakima valley to prevent the destruc
ton of the United States governments
dams and irrigation bitches which
water lands on the Yakima reserva-
ton, according to a dispatch from
North Yakima.
Superintendent ]. Lynch of the
Yakima Indian reservation, declared
that he would pay no attention to the
suits brought by the big irrigation
companies to restrain the interior de-
partment from taking water from the
Yakima river to irrigate reservation
lands. The governments bitches have
so depleted the supply that a shortage
unprecedented in severity exists and
crops valued at thousands of dol
lars are burning up under the hot
sun.
The irrigation companies claim the
government came last as an appropri-
ator of water and has no rights in the
river at this stage of the water. A
clash between the state courts and the
government may follow Superintend-
ent Lynch's declaration.

The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1905-08-23

The south is confronted with the
problem of educating the negro to in
dustria1 efficiency or of turning toward
foreign immigration for a labor sup
other parts of the United States or
from northern Europe. The south does
not like the Italian nor the other
southern European immigrants. 1t
would welcome the Swede, the Nor
wegian, the Irish or the English immi-
grant, but unfortunately it cannot get
him. He prefers the northern states.
In this dilemma many southern man.
ufacturers are looking toward Chinese
and Japanese labor, though they rea-
lie that swapping immigration of
either of these races would not be toll
Grated.
The alternative seems to be the edu-
cation of the negro to industrial eff
cheney. This is a dubious though not
hopeless task. The main thing against
success ina this field is the natural
shiftlessness of the negro. Two or
three days work week will keep him
in his simple manner of life in a warm
climate and he appears to have no
sense of responsibility beyond. He
cares nothing for his employers inter-
ests, nor does he appear to have an
ambition to make himself independ-
ent. This is, of course, only relative
ly true. There are exceptions, notable
ones, but it is the rule that the negro
is content to live from hand to mouth.
The exceptions, however, show what
can be done with the negro Industrial
ly. The education of the negro to
sense of responsibility for his family
is not impossible, and it would appear
to be the point on which to attack the
negro problem. The labor question
solved, many of the social problems
would disappear. The negro with a
d
ambition, would be different creature
to deal with from the rowing, tramp
negro who is a constant scare and an
occasional menace to society.
Leaving for the present the question
of the social status of the negro, the
south should bend it's energies toward
his industrial education and the
churches should supplement the work
of the state by a wise effort to raise
his religious status.
The negro is in the south, and if he
can be made a good workman it is
much better for the south to do so
than to invite immigrants, whose pres
ence can only result in the negro be-
ing thrown entirely out of the indus
trial arrangements and his becoming
a charge upon the state and a constant
peril
