white Pine About Exhausted.

There is food for national reflection
in the statement by newspaper rep
resenting the Michigan lumber inter
ests that ito all intents and purposes
there is no white pine here any
more The fact csn hardly be ig-
nored that the case presents an ex-
amples of undiscriminating tariff pol
Icy. No intelligent protectionist will
deny that the purpose of a protective
tariff is to foster and increase the
domestic production of the staple on
which the duty is laid. No man with
his eyes open can dispute that the eff
feet Of the tariff on lumber has been
to hasten the destruction Of the
white pine forests. When forty years
OF that duty has ended in wiping out
what was the most important supply
of lumber in this cou9iry the reason
for continuing the obstacle against
drawing on other countries for our
lumber needs is hard to perceive

IS TO REPEATING OR ENFORCING
AMENDMENTS.

The impression seems to be enter
tanned by many that it was the 18th
amendment that conferred universal
suffrage. On the contrary it was
granted by the 18th amendment which
was fully ratified in 1868, and under
which the carpet baggers and scally-
wags maintained their control.
The 10Th amendment was not rati-
fed until 1870.
Sec. /, of the 18th amendment, de-
clares, "All persons born or natural
lied in the United States, and subject
to the jurisdiction thereof, are citl-
zens of the United States and Of the
states wherein they reside. No state
shall make or enforce any law which
shall abridge the privileges or immun-
tiles Of citizens Of the United States. =
Under the aegis of this amendment,
which superseded legislation for the
so-called reconstruction of the late
Confederate States the negro's status
as voter was recognized and estab-
lished in all the states Of the Union.
Sec. 2, Of this amendment declared
that. when the right to vote for
electors, representatives in congress,

The habit or INDUCING in the use
of profane or obscene language is one
of the most nonsensical habits a hu-
man being ever acquired. No man
or youth ever raised himself in the
estimation of saint or sinner by the
use of foul language. Purity Of
thought and speech are valuable
virtues. And yet, it's our honest
opinion that the man who unwilling.
~ ''cusses' little now and then, is
not half so big sinner as the fellow
who continuously thinks evil and
speaks evil o: his neighbors, and re-
fuses to pay his honest debts upon the
theory that "Jesus paid it all, all the
debt owe." If the pulpits Of the
land would "go after the fellows who
refuse to pay their honest debts and
to love their wives and their fellow
men-"go after" them as vigorously
as they 60 after the fellows who" cuss
and chew tobacco" the true re-
formation Of tbs race might be near
er at hand.

Somebody has figured out that tn

Somebody has figured out that the
average boy who is dependent upon
his parents for a livelihood until he
reaches the age Of twenty-one years
costs them four Thousand dollars. On
this basis of calculation a brood, for
instance, Of six boys would represent
an outlay Of twenty -four thousand dol.
lars by the time they get away from
the home roost. The question arises
does it pay to raise boys and there are
no other crops that would prove more
profitable? If boy turns out to be
a cigarette fiend with a breath like q
turkey buzzard and a laugh that
would make the untutored donkey
feel perfectly at home in his society
and with an untrammeled and uncon-
querable desire to avoid work, it is
safe to say that his parents might
have invested their four thousand dol
at much better advantage. But if
the boy grows up to manhood with the
lesson we'll learned that wealth and
success grow only on bushes watered
by the sweat of ones brow, the par
ents need not begrudge whatever they
have spent on him, for he will be q
source of increasing pride and JOY to
their hearts, and when they grow old
and their hands tremble and their legs
wabble and their step is slow and
faltering they have two strong arms
to lean upon and help them over all
the rough places that lie in their
twilight path.

MOTHERS PRAYER ANSWERED.

A company of young men who had
escaped a terrific charge from the
enemy in one of the fiercest battles Of
the Civil war were picking their way
across the blood deluged and death
strewn field to rejoin their company.
All about lay the dead and from every
side came the hsart-rending cries and
groans from the wounded and dying.
One noble-faced young fellow,
whose life was fast ebbing away from
wound in his side, particularly at
tracted the attention Of the party.
The dying boy, too weak to call out
had lifted himself upon one arm. and
was feebly reckoning the passerby to
come to him.
Thinking probably he wanted wa.

went over to him. Bending down and
putting his ear to the parched lipe, he
heard these words, pray for me, oh,

VERY SIMPLE.

Every little while we read in the
paper that someone has run a rusty
nail in his foot or other portion Of
his body and lookjaw resulted there
from and the patient died. If every
person was aware of the perfect remedy
for such. wounds and would apply it,
then such reports would cease. The
remedy is simple, always at hand, can
be applied by anyone-what is better,
it is infallible. It is simply to
smoke the wound or any woand that
is bruised or inf1amed with a wooden
cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke
will take the pain out of the worst
case of INFLAMMATION arising from
such wound. People may sneer at
this remedy as much as they please,
but when they are afflicted with such
wounds, let them try is.

SENSIBLE ADVICE.

Booker Washington delivered an
address q few days ago before the
Afro.American Council Of New York
City, in which he gave the people of
his race some excellent admonitions
and evinced proper conception of
racial conditions. Among other things
he said:
In this connection repeat what
have urged on recent occasion, every
iota Of influence that we possess should
be used to get rid of the criminal and
loafing element of our people and to
make decent, law. abiding citizens.
TO the members of my race who
reside in the northern states let me
utter the caution that, in your en-
thusiastic desire to be of service to
your brethren in the south you do not
make their path more thorny by rash
and Incorporate utterances. Before
giving advice to the negro in the
south, the negro in the north should
be very sure that what he advises is
that which he himself would be will
ling to take into the heart of the south
and put into practice. Be careful not
to assist in lighting a fire which you
will have no ability to put out.
Some may think that the prob
lens with which we are graphing will
be better solved by inducing millions
of our people to leave the south for
residence in the north, but I warn you
that, instead Of this being solution,
it will but add to the complications
Of the problem.
while condemning the giving of
prominence to the work of the mob in
the south we should not fail to give
due credit to those Of the white race
who stood manfully and courageously
on the side of law and order during
the recent trying o1deals through
which this section Of the country has
been passing. During the racial dis
turbances the country very seldom
hears of the brave and heroic acts Of q
certain element of southern white peo-
pie, whose deeds are seldom heraldeq
through the press, S.
THE indiscriminate condemnation
of all white people on the part Of any
member Of the race, Is suicidal and
dangerous policy. We must learn TO
discriminate. We have strong friends;
both in the south and in the north
and we should emphasize and magni-
fy the Efforts Of our friends more than
that Of those who wish Us evil.
II have said we must diffeIentiate
between the white people in the south.
We cannot afford to lash all our enc
mics, for there are many who are our
friends. The country must also learn
to differentiate between black people.
It is mistake to place all in the same
class with regard to labor, morals or
general conduct. There is q vicious
class that disgraces us; there is also
worthy class which should always re-
ceive com mendation.

!, In the first four or five davs after
the San Francisco fire, when people
could get no money from the banks,
many applied to the railroads for
tickets on the promise to pay when
they reached their destination, or
when they could. They gave written
promises and received tickets to all
points in and out Of the state. The
officials took these promises to pay to
an amount aggregating $50 900 from
nearly one thousand persons. It is
estimated that within five months of
the disaster no less than. $50, OOc,. or
nine-tenths of the full amount, has
been paid by remittance from the
refugees to whom the credit had been
extended. Much of this came from
grateful sufferers who had not even
been asked to sign promise to pay.
