they were returned to Liberia they re-
verted to barbarism." How much does
the present white civilization owe to
past white civilization, and how many
examples are there Of the reversion of
the white race to barbarism? If we
could say that our white civilization
is all our own production and that
none of it is veneer, We might argue
the inferiority of the negro or of any
other race which has inhabited the
earth, but the Caucasian can make no
such boast.
The problem Of the relations of the
two races in America is battling one.
The idea of amalgamation is repug-
nant; at present the thought of So
cial equality is not tolerated any
where. The men of the south resent
violently the idea of political equality.
Destiny holds a veil between us and
the future Of the race in America, but,
as Mr.. Miller well points out. we are
not concerned with destiny, but with
duty. One of the duties of Mr.. Thomas
Dixon, Jr., as Mr.. Miller severely
calls to his attention, is to weigh his
words and to cease fomenting racial
hatred. That's where the Negroes ad-
vice is wiser than the white mans per-
Torrance.

THE NEW HEN.

Deacon Sloane of Zion City has
made a discovery about hens. He
knew long ago that hens, if treated
nicely and provided with food and
roosts, would lay eggs, but never until
recently did he know that hens can be
made to lay eggs of any flavor de-
sired. 1t is all in the feeding. Hens
fed with mush, favored with lemon,
will lay-We were almost inclined to
say lemonade. but that is a develop
ment of the future-they will lay lem
on favored eggs. Likewise, by varying
the flavor you can have orange eggs,
eggs that are sweet. eggs that are bit
ter or eggs that have the potential en-
ergy of champagne
A secondary result Of Deacon SlOan's
great discovery may be that the flaw
Ored eggs, when Matched, will develop
characteristic chicks The orange
favored egg will bring forth fluff
yellow chicken which will grow up per
fectly round and covered with a thick
notified skin. The vinegar egg will de-
velOp a chicken which will be of a very
uncertain temper and one not safe to
shoe off the stoop.

Proceedings instituted by the gov

right to give rebates through the very
obvious device of private car COM

A NEGRO CHAMPION.

The furious controversy which in war
times ragged around the question
whether the negro had a soul has given
place in our day to discussion
whether he is capable of civilization
equaling that of the white race. 1t IS
convenient for the white man to calm
ly affirm the doctrine of essential in
feriority and let the advocate of the
negro prove the opposite if he can.
One of the most rabid baiters of the
negro is Thomas Dixon Jr who is
said to have some vogue as a writer.
One Of the cleverest negro publicists
of the day appears to be Mr. Kelly Mil
Ter, of Howard university, who has re-
Gently undertaken to answer Mr..
Dixon. Evidently the work was to the
Negroes taste. If the decision could be
made on single example the negro,
on the basis of this correspondence,
would be voted the superior race both
in talent and in manners, for the col
ored brother from Washington does
not leave enough of the white roman
Ger to make a decent funeral
Yet neither of them has settled the
main question, since neither of them
could. Time alone will determine
whether the negro is. as Mr.. Miller
contends, merely a backward race with
eli t-ie latent possibilities of superior
action, or, as Mr.. Dixon asserts, an
inferior race which must always re-
main inferior.
1t is interesting, however, to note
what strides the negro has made since
he emerged from the barbarism of
slavery. Capacity, says Mr. Miller. is
potential rather than dynamic mode
OF energy. The negro, wherever he has
been permitted a favorable environ
ment, has accomplished wonders. With
IN forty years the nero has cut down
his illiteracy so per cent; has pro-
duced professional class numbering
more than $4,000, including ministers.
teachers, doctors, lawyers, editors,
architects, authors, engineers. Negro
inventors nave taken out more than
four hundred patents as a contribution
TO the mechanical genius of America
In the south, where the principal crop
is cotton. about one-third of it IS pro-
duced by negro proprietors.
All of these examples of achievement
are the result of a little more than
generation of freedom.
Mr.. Miller puts them against tho
fact that when Pericles was toe ora
tor and ruler of Athens the ancestors
of Goethe and Shakespeare were LIVING
IN caves and subsisting on raw flesh.
Inc entire difference between the
Nreek and the German was the differ.

NOTICE TO ADVERTISERS:
WATCH WALLA WALLA GROW.

The organization of a company with
ample capital for the building of a
four story modern department store
at the corner of Third and Alder
streets is another proof that Waila
Walla is fast becoming an up-to-
date, progressive city. The capital
for this enterprise is to be supplied
by home men who have great con-
fidence in the future of this city.
The day of the mossback who kept all
his money tied up in the banks or
loaned out at a low rate of interest
is gone. He has given way to the
live. enterprising citizen, full Of hope
and energy, who is determined to in
crease his capital by investing in
projects for the improvement of the
city and the enhancement of prop
erty values.
1t is now almost certain that within
a year or two Walla Walla will be
an important point on a transcOnti-
mental road connecting the Atlantic
with the Pacific and transformation
will then be wrought in the town
that will astOnish the Oldest inhab
itants and cause timid capitalists to
reproach themselves for their want
of foresight. Within five years Wall
Walla is likely to have thirty thou
sand people and by the year 1915 the
population will reach fifty thousand.
When that time comes the erection
of a fourteen-story building will ex-
cite no more comment than the
erection of four-story structure does
today.
1t would be we'll for Wala Walla's
business men to organize $4,000 pop

TAXES LEAD
Nome Becomes the Worlds
 Greatest Placer Camp

Gold to the amount of 0,0OO, ,OO VIII be contributed to the worlds wealth by Nome and other mining camps in that vicinity as the result of the work oi thff present season, says the Seattle Times This amount will be in the neighborl hood of 3,OOO, 900 in excess of the out put of last year.
 This is the figure placed on the out nut by Fred Wing, in charge of the United States assay office in this city and the estimate of Mr. Wing is based on reports which he has received from Nome within the past week.
 Eugene Allies, chief Sssayer for the Alaska Bank and Safe Deposit Com many, in letter to friend in this city states that his bank alone will ship sS,' OoO, 900 more this season than it had already sent out, and that amount, with what has already been sent out ano what the Miners and Merchants bank will send, will, it is believed by NIT Wing, reach total of st least slo,OoO,' 900 for the season.
 Mining men and others familiar with the history of Nome since its reputation as one of the greatest mining camps ir the worll was won, freely express the opinion that it is the result of the capi' tai which has been invested in that To- cality tha, the present recurd-break'ne output is due. For the last year so vast quantity of machinery has been taken iuto Nome and ditch and dredg' ing projects of great magnitude have been started.

THREE COMPANIES
Investigating Committee Believes
Should Be i'm Touch With Wall
Street.

New York, Dec. ef.-The WASH
ington Life, Germania Life and Ban
kers' Life Insurance companies dl-
vided the attention of the legislative
committee today. John Tatlock. pres
ident of the Washington Life, finish
ed his testimony. He declared that
personally he favored distribution
of earnings every five years. Tatlock
said he thought that the companies
should be run by men in touch with
Wall street because of their knowl-
edge of the security market. He al
so favored the idea of insurance COM
panies speculating in securities.
Cornelius Doremus, president of
the Germania Life said that about
one-third of his company's business
was done in Europe. principally in
Germany and that This business in
many respects is better than any done
in America. He declared it to be more
stable, there being fewer lapses while
the cost is a great deal less than in
America. Medical inspection is also
better in Germany he said. He char
acterized American ways of doing
business as wild methods" The only
contributions of legislative charac-
ter paid by the company were, $500 to
fund having for its object the de-
feat of the mortgage tax law, and
$3.50 to the further passage of lien
bill in Albany in 1904. No campaign
had ever been made.
K. l.. Baylies. who collected the
fund to defeat the mortgage tax law
said on the stand today he secured a
fund of $4,000 for this purpose.

nese method of personal attack ana
self-defense, has been formed at
Cambridge, but, contrary to report,
neither Girton nor Newman has yet
followed suit. although several girls
schools are taking up the exercise ea-
gerIy.
Jiu-jitsu as serious pursuit with
society women and as part OF the
curriculum in girls schools is new
phase of the desire for physical cul-
ture in this country. IL has become
an intelligent study in the power OF
mind over matter.
Woman's bodily weakness is a
help in the study of this gentle art
Strength plays no primary part in the
jlu-jitsian's armory. The power to be
yielding, limp. inert at one moment
and to be quick as lighting the next
is more readily acquired by a wom-
an than by man.

conveniently located for Mayfair. has
become the resort of many society
women. Perhaps the cleverest jiu-jit-
sian In England is a popular duchess.
Westfleld College has taken up this
athletic study with enthusiasm. The
dress worn by the jlu-JItsu student is
quite Japanese. A tunic of white cot
