THE NEGRO PROBLEM.

You may now stop worrying about
the negro problem Professor Walter
r. Wilcox, writing in The Quarterly
Journal of Economies, assures us that
if we are patient it won't be long be-
fore there win be no negro problem.
The professor has figured it out that
the negro, as far as the United States
is concerned, viii in time become ex-
tinct. He bases his theory on the fact
that the negro birth rate is decreasing
while the death rate remains station
airy.
While one investigator Professor
Gillian, figures that the negro popu-
lation in the year 1000 will be 200, Co.,
e0c, or, allowing for the usual in
crease in the white population, about
One-third Of the total, Professor VIII
cox believes that in 2OO0 the negroes
win constitute II per cent OF the whole.
And from that time they win continue
to diminish in numbers until they are
wiped out entirely, or practically so.
If you care to wait that long to solve
the negro problem you are at perfect
liberty to do so. Perhaps Professor
Wilcox is right. Perhaps by the year
250O or 5000 a negro viii be an unusual
sight in the south or any other part
OF the United States However, he is
asking us to wait a long time. When
the year of total extinction arrives
many of US viii be,where he will not
care how many negroes there are in
the United States

For ImMIeRATIoN RESTRICTION

As the result OF careful investiga-
tiou of our immigration statistics and
"A close study OF immigrants of various
Municipalities. Broughton Brandenberg,
in an article published in Charities,
makes some recommendations that
seem sound Mr. Brandenberg cor
rObOrates the statements of other
writer's that, owing TO the laxness OF
our immigration laws. a most undesir-
able class of immigrants is f1ocking to
the United States. Thousands Of them
are incapable OF supporting themselves:
thousands. in spite OF the utmost
vigilance, manage to conceal diseases
with which they are afflicted. and so
evade the inspectors
Mr.. Rrandenberg's first recommends
ton is for an increase in the head tax
He thinks twenty-five dollars is not
too much 10 require immigrants to pay
Tor the privilege of entering this coun-
try to become permanent residents. The
additional money thus raised would be
applied to the betterment of the in
spectiOn service and to the better care
OF the immigrants. The present head
tax is two dollars, which is usually paid
by the steamship companies as an in
ducement for the sale of tickets.
1t is pointed out by Mr. Brandenberg
that the increased head tax viii not of
itself result in the exclusion of TN
desirable immigrants. But he would
not substitute the higher charge for
other restrictive clauses in the laws
that are now on the statute book A
prime advantage Of the increased tax
would be to make it harder for paupers
TO come to the United states. steerage
rates on steamships have fallen as low
at times as ten dollars. II in addition
to this the companies paid a twenty
five dollar head tax they couldn't stay
in the ocean carrying business very
long.
Another of Mr.. Brandenberg's recon-
mendatiOns IS that aliens of poor
physique be excluded. When we raise
horses, or cattle. or dogs, or sheep" he
says. I'VE select good. strong. healthy
stock. II we have any concern for the
physical development OF our race. we
should certainly be no less careful In
the selection of our human stock. With
the change in the racial character of
our immigration in recent years there
has come a marked deterioration In the
general physique OF the immigrants"
Mr. Brandenberg continues: I'VE
want none but honest, Industrious
healthy and fit immigrants. and we can
get them il we exclude the others. We
want them sound in body and sound in
mind. We have by law debarred those
OF unsound mind Our next step should
be 10 debar those OF poor physique. A
reasonable wise and necessary ad4sf-
ton &c our immigration laws would be

a WISE REJECTION.

Ine provision Of the national irriga-
ton law that prevents The entry Of
more than $50 acres of land by any in
dlFldual was the subject of attack at
the closing session OF the thirteenth
National Irrigation congress at Port
land on Thursday. a resolution con-
demning this provision and advocat-
ing its repeal was offered. After a hot
oeoate 1t was rejected. While there
would have been little probability of
The repeal OF the section referred to If
the congress had voted that way. the
rejection OF the resolution was a good
piece Of work
The section over which the contro-
versy arose is as follows:
Section 3.--That the secretary of the
interior may, in his discretion, with
uraw from public entry the lands re-
quired for any irrigation works .:
mat public lands which it is proposed TO
irrigate by means OF any contemplated
works shall be subject TO entry only
under the provisions OF the homestead
laws ia tracts of not less than forty
nor more than one hundred and sixty
acres
BY way of further strengthening the
law on this point it is provided in Sec
ton 3 that No right 10 the use of
water for land in private ownership
shall be sold for a tract exceeding
one hundred and sixty acres to any
one landowner" That is TO say, IL an
owner has acquired by patent or pur-
chase body of land exceeding one
hundred and sixty acres under a gov
ernment irrigation project, he cannot
take from the reservoir or bitches con-
structed by the government more than
enough water to irrigate one hundred
and sixty acres of land. There is moth
ing in the law, however, TO prevent
such owner from disposing of part of
his land. In that event the purchaser
would have the right to buy water for
one hundred and sixty acres, and no
more.
The purpose OF the trainers Of the
law was to protect homesteaders, to
take care OF those who honestly desire
TO settle and to make homes in the
arid and semi-arid west The law
contains no provisions that are better
II it were not for them the capitalists
could take I'D all the land under gov
eminent projects and dispose OF it in
small lots TO settlers at greatly ad-
vanced prices or they could hold and
cultivate it for their own profit.
We are sincerely glad that the con-
gress of irrigators refused to take sides
with the large owners. They are amply
able to take care of themselves.

CANDIDATE JEROME.

The Citizens Union of New York has
decided to offer District Attorney
Jerome the mayOralty nomination on
the ticket OF that organisation.
Whether or not Mr.. Jerome viii accept
remains to be seen. 1t has only been
few weeks since he declared his in
tention to run as an independent candi-
date to succeed himself. This after he
had been refused a nomination on the
Democratic ticket. Mr.. Jerome, it will
be remembered, was elected four years
ago on the Low fusion ticket.
The district attorney has said that he
would rather be district attorney thap
hold any other Office in New York He
believes the people win endorse his ad-
ministration and says he is going to
lay his case before them. At that time
The Herald suggested that Mr. Jerome
would be a badly disappointed man
when the votes are counted. Some
supposedly popular idols have run on
Independent tickets and walked up the
day after the election convinced that
all men are liars
1t is impossible to believe that Mr..
Jerome could get enough votes to
beat either the Democratic or the Re
publican nominee for district attorney.
The history of Independent movements.
unendorsed by either Of the great politi-
cal parties, has almost invariably been
a record of failure. Especially is this
true in cases where men have run
for office without any organization
whateye~ tehmd them. And there is
no spe,- reason why Mr.. Jerome
should be an exception. He has done
a good deal of talking since he has
been district attorney, but he has not
made a record Of achievement.
Mr.. Jerome announced that he would
send Richard Garfield, the most
notorious gambler in the world. to the
penitentiary. He even had the law,
which seemed defective. amended to
suit his purpose. Yet Garfield never
went TO prison for a day. Instead,
with all the machinery in his hands,
with indisputabie evidence of Can
fields guilt Jerome let him off with
a fine of $1,000. to Garfield d punish
ment at which he could afford to laugh.
And Garfield is today, running
gambling house at Saratoga
The district attorney made many
other promises which he never full
filed. If New Workers like men who
do things Mr.. Jerome viii never get
fairly started in the race for the dis
trict attoTneyship.
