THE PROBLEM.
BY ELLA WHEELER WILCOX

Out of the wilderness, out OF the night
Has the black man crawled to the dawn Of light
Beaten by lasl1es and bound by chains,
A beast of burden, with soul and brains;
He has come thro and need and woe,
And the cry Of hs heart is TO know, to know.
You took his freedom and gave it again,
But grudged as you gave it, yc whltc-iaced men,
Not all of freedom is being free,
And a dangerous playhng is liberty
For untaugl1t children.
In vain do you say,
I'VE gave what he asked for-place and pay
And right of franchise" All wrong, all wrong.
He was but a child to be led along
By the hand of Love. He has felt its touch:
Nay you gave unwisely and gave too much,
But you gave not the thing that his CROPPING mind
Was reaching up in the dark to find;
They were Love and knowledge.
OBJ infinite
Must be patience that hopes to right
The wrongs that arc heavy wi tn age and brought
TO the level of virtues by moral thought
And greater than patience must be the trust
In the ultimate outcome OF what is just
And in and under and through and above
Must weave the warp of the purpose love.
Red with anguish his way has been.
This suffering brother with lusky skin.
For centuries fettcrcd and bound to earth,
Slow his unfolding of freedoms birth;
Slow his rising from burden and ban
To fill the stature Of normal man.
You must give him his wings you tell him to fly
You must set the example and bid him try.
Let the white pay for the white mans crime
Let him work in patience and bde Gods time.
Out Of the wilderness, of the night
Has the black crawled to the dawn of light
He has through the valley Of great despair
He has borne what white bear.
He has through sorrow and pain and woe,
And the cry of his heart is to know, to know.

Whilst the states we have mentioned are en- gagged in trying to curb the Standard Oil, officials of the federal government are busily at work Investigating it's violations of United, States laws pre- paratory to the government adopting more stringent measures in enforcing them. This widespread revolt against the rapacious tyranny of the Standard Oil is healthy sign, as it indicates that the country is determined not to submit tamely to this species of oppres- sion.

PITTSBURG OF MANCHURIA.
Features of City of Tieling, Toward Which the Russians RetreRted,

Which the Russians Retreated.
 The city of Tieling, or Iron Noun tain, in Manchuria. is so named be- cause the range of hills which surround it abound in iron ore, making Tieling the future Pittsburg of Manchuria, says the Boston Globe.
 The retreat of the Russian army to- ward Tieling from the capital city of Mukden draws attention to a city which is very important commercial center.
 The river and caravan traffic of Tie ling Is enormous. Large junks come freely to this town in the open season, and during the winter months thou sands of pack animals and carts take away the goods importantly junk and bring down vast quantities of zlocal produce, which is stored awaiting the reopening of junk traffic.
 The Russian railway has given a great impetus to the business of the already enterprising native traders, who were quick to take advantage of the new facilities. Many caravan and trade routes pass through or converge on Tieling, and it has intercepted much of the trade that formerly belonged to Mukden.
 There is a fine solid stone dagoba in the town dating from probably the thirteenth century. The walled town Is densely crowded with business hongs, the area being comparatively small. The walls are of brick external ly, stone in the inner face, and. as usu- al, the wide space between is filled in with rough stone and mud. The two suburbs east and west contain three quarters of the population, which num- bers probably 10000.
 This town, owing to it's situation at the apex of the irregular and triangu- lar Liao plain and to it's large stores of grain and that roads from the Yalu, especially military route from Feng- wangcheng via Saimachi and Yingpan, pass through here. is of considerable importance.
 Beyond Tieling is kaiyuan. another walled city. commanding the roads which lead from the plain up into the undulating tableland of central Man churia. The ancient city has for ages stood as the northeastern fortress of the Chinese empire. It's walls, which are some six or seven miles in circum- ference. seem once to have inclosed even larger area. as ruins of other walls extend to the north and west.
 At present only the central parts have inhabitants. some 15,00O, with q district magistrate and military iron tier force of some 200 men. The trade is small. but owing to it's situation with wide river fordable certainly except after rains. under ifs southern walls. with the railway near. and from the fact that no hills command the place except from distance. it may play as 1t has done in past ages an important part in coming history.

The last session of the fifty-eighth congress did practically nothing except pass the great supply bills and go home. It refused absolutely to pass anything in the nature Of remedlal legislation in the interest of the peo- pie. though it had ample opportunity to do so. says Washington cor respondent. As predicted in these let ters last fall, it went squarely back on it's promise to give statehood to the territories of Oklahoma, Indian Terri tory New Mexico and Arizona. If the people of those territories can stand for such dillydallying as that, with their dearest rights and privileges, then the millennium must have been dragged in by the ears in the south' west long before its time. If they do not take occasion to resent it at the very first opportunity they get. then human nature has changed a whole lot down in that section of our common country. When the democrats get con- trol of the congress of the United States the people of those territories will get statehood, and not before. The trust interests in the senate, guarded by the paid attorneys of these trusts whom they have placed there, will for ever stand as a bar to statehood long past due to the sturdy, honest people of the great southwest. When we get senatorial elections bys dlrect vote of the people we will be able to control the senate in the interests of the peo- ple but not before. That not only is my humble opinion from years of ob- servation here in the national capital, but it is the opinion of nearly every observing man who has taken the pains to ascertain conditions that now exist here.

DEFENSE OF GAMBLING.

Why a College Professor Urges .
 Course In Schools.
 Professor Herbert Gardiner Lord of the University of Columbia in New York and Professor William J. Kirby of the Catholic University of America recently told the members of the Con- temporary club at Philadelphia that they could find no reason for saying that gambling in itself was wrong, says a Philadelphia dispatch to the New York Herald. Both stated 1t as their opinion that gambling could not be eradicated from modern life and that the wisest thing to do was to properly control it.
 The discussion was listened to by distinguished audience that nodded ap- provingly much of the time and gave exceedingly faint applause when gam bling was attacked from moral view point. It was explained that bridge whist and draw poker supplied just the proper excitement needed at times by men and women weary with routine cares. ..
 Professor Kirby, after admitting the theoretical legitimacy of gambling. made an earnest appeal for course of instruction in the schools which might lessen gambling in the next generation and said that cities should take up the work of regulating gambling as an es- sentially city problem.
 Gambling is not simply game of chance" said the professor. flor chance is present in most business transac- tions. Gambling is not merely the de- sire for gain; it is not merely means of excitement. The constitutional gam bier Is the man who desires only gain at play as a means to enable him to play again.
 Tt may seem strange for me 10 say so as a professor of ethics. but I have never been able to find a reason that will permit me to say gambling is wrong. I hold no brief for gambling I do not gamble myself. It is argued that gambling is wrong because it is a waste. On the contrary, there is no de struction of wealth in gambling. Properly done, gambling is not a dissipation, but a recreation. In the rush of business or in the humdrum of life gambling may be just the best stimulant for some men and women. It is charged that gambling is strictly antisocial Observation does not show this. Intimate friends play. families play. Bridge whist. for instance, is positively social The winners learn repression of their triumph. and the losers are pleased with themselves at their ability to lose we'll"

The agents of the bureau of forestry detailed to investigate planted groves and natural timber in the eastern half of the two Dakotas and the western third of Minnesota, have completed their field work. The results of their investigations will be embodied in A report which will be published as soon as the data collected can be tabulated and definite conclusions drawn. Throughout the region investigated a good deal of tree planting has been done 10 meet the requirements of the timber culture act or for protective purposes. Local benefits have been gained by this planting, and a study of the results gives a good basis for sug- gestions looking towards still better results in the future. The species most generally tried are those which grow naturally in the river bottoms of the region. together with some which have been introduced from Europe. They are cottonwood. boN-elder. green ash, silver maple. white willow and white elm. These trees have some admirabe qualities. hut are in some respects un. suited to the region. The ideal tree for planting on the prairie is one which is able to resist extremes of drought snl temperature. Is free from insect enemies. makes a rapid growth. and is at tho same time valuable for both protective and commercial uses. Some of the conifers or evergreens have these characteristics in high degree, and enough planting of certain species of pine. spruce and larch has beeh done to prove their superiority. For future planting in this section the bu- rpau will probably recommend the sub stitutiOn to a large extent of conc bearing trees for some Of the species which have been in common use
