JAPANESE VICTORIES.

Albert S. Ashmead, NJ. D., formerly
director of the Toxic Hospital, is of
the opinion that the Japanese victo-
rles are a menace to the world: and
in a Well-written communication to
the Sunday Magazine, gives the
grounds for his opinion in a very earn.
est manner. OF the Japanese, he says
They represent a white Indonesian
| invasion engrafted upon a Negroid
stock. That there has been negro
blood in the Japanese ancestral races
is proved by the frequent occurrence
OF black pigment spots on the flat
tened root of the nose of the common
people, and by the fact that the five
great daimio families, to one of which
every Mikado has belonged, are of
| white Indonesian blood.
The ruling white blood of Japan has
been maintained in it's imperfect
measure of impurity by a social sys-
tenn of concubinage. The Mikado of
today is allowed one high-class wife
and twelve concubines. The noble
prlncesses in most instances are ster-
lie, and the concubines are the mothers
OF possible new Mikados. The present
Prince Imperial, the future Mlkado,
the Goldman who is to be fought for
and died for in future pagan wars, has
for mother such a woman The lower
class blood of the nation has more or
less contaminated these higher-bred
families, and it is this blacker blood
OF the nation which has kept alive the
upper current Of society. The lower

We have quoted enough of DR.. Ash
meads article to give an idea of it's
scope and conclusions And we are
very fearful that his comparison of
the japanese idolators with the Rus-
sian Christians will fail to produce
conviction upon the minds of many
who have paid attention to the recent
history OF the two countries. The hor-

WE. THE PEOPLE.

We, the people of the United States.
are not lacking in self-appreciation,
and are ridiculously boastful when
comparing our doings and our methods
with those of other nations.
1t is true that we have vast num-
Der of things of which we may Justly be
proud. and equally so that we have
many of which we should be ashamed.
The first and worst of these is our
racial prejudice. which has caused our
so-colled Christians to be cast out and
trodden under the feet of men.
Another is our lack of honesty. In
the list of boodlers figure the names of
our eminent financiers, United States
senators, state officers and legislators
and officials of all classes.
Another is our law in reference to
naturalization. We allow felons and
paupers, the scum and refuse of Eu-
rope to be dumped upon our shores
and at once become a part of our cleo
torate-to all intents and purposes,
our rulers, provided they do not wish

THE YELLOW AWAKENING

Japan has securely established her
rating as a great power and there are
unmlstakable indications that within
a short time China will do the same
thing.
One Of these indications is the
sending OF Chinese students to the
imperial university Of Japan "Chin.

consul at Annoy, continue to reach
Japan in ever increasing numbers.

one hundred, and three or four hun

quiet and stability to the Flowery

industries, resources and internal i'm

Some years since an American syn

Hankow railroad and constructed
thirty miles of the road. The Chinese
have repurchased the concession for
S6,5OO,OOo, and have made the first
payment of $2,OOO,OOO.
The statement is made by one in

would not now attempt to make any
kind of foreign compact without de-

The Chinese propose to follow the

SATURDAY. OCTOBER 21, 1905.
THE ARISTOCRATS' LAST
CHANCE.

When we consider the fact that sew
eral of the southern states are ruled
by the poor white man, who is rapidly
putting into all places of honor the
men of his own class and eliminating
the scions Of the old slave.holding
aristocracy who used to monopoilze
such positions, we discover a new ba-
sis for the disfranchisement policies
down South. Senator Tillman is a rep
resentative of the poor white element
as is Governor Jeff Davis of Arkan-
sas. From habit and the force of ira
dltlon. the poor white man still de-
fers to some extent to his brother of
arlstocratic descent, but day by day be-
comes more lntolerant and clannish.
The aristocrat struggles hard to retain
the immunities of his class, but his
hold is becoming more and more pre-
CariOus.
All the intelligence of the democrat
ic party of Arkansas was arraye ed
against Jeff. the traditions of the par
ty We're against the third term, but Jeff
triumphed and he has elected his op-
posers from about all the positions they
held in the levee board. the university
and the board OF health.
The only hope of the aristocratic ele-
ment is to disfranchise portion of the
ignorant white class, and this can be
done With a chance of success by the
pretext that the scheme contemplates
only the disfranchisement of the Afro
American. But an enactment basing
the right to vote upon the ability to
read and explain a section of the
constitution of state, is very elastic
and can readily be applied to litter
ate white men. 1t will be thus used
when necessary.

Officials of Crawford County State
Bank Said to Have Purchased Con-

A large financial transaction involving
the control of the Farmers State Bank of
Charter Oak is persistently rumored and
1t is stated that several officials of the
Crawford State Bank have purchased the
controlling interest and will virtually
control that institution hereafter. The
death OF Mr.. D. o. Johnson made some
change in the management of the bank
necessary and the purchase is said to have
resulted.
Ii the purchase is consummated Chart
er Oak can be congratulated upon secur-

will be of great help in the building of
the town and its industries. The Crawford
County State Bank has been growing in
influence and Importance with every year,
with coordinate banks at Schleswig and
