 Springfield. Ohio, has newspaper called The News. and it naturally has something to say of recent disgraceful happenings in that city. One of its paragraphs is both pathetic and sig nificant. Speaking of the negro wo- man as she exists in Springfield The News says:
 Cuffed and battered by the world, non none from the the time @ < she was born, forced to work. perhaps, ere she was stout enough to work. half-fcd. half 1arYed ths S It sny wo1der W6n that she hs lived se ther? What became of her mother? She does not know. What hope had she from the time she was little Who took hold of her hand and at tempted to lead her to respectable womanhood? What right has society woman to come from that dark object rolling In the filth Of miserable hut? And yet you will find that this is the kind of people who infest such places as the "Jungles
 The Jungles," be it understood, is the title given to the colored slum do- main of Springfield-the domain that was invaded and practically destroyed by the white citizens of the city. The picture drawn is intended by The News to apply to the colored women gem orally who inhabit that portion of Springfield. The picture is a pitiful one, if not overdrawn. It is a por- trait of colorcd womanhood which will not apply in Montgomery, or in any other city in the South within our knowledge. It is a shame and dis grace that it is true anywhere, and especially in Ohio or any other North ern city. Does not The News think so2

For right is right, since God Is God,
 And right the day must win; To doubt would be disloyalty,
 To falter would be sin.

Thus wrote the poet, and he wrote truly. Right is right. and the ma jority of humanity practice it.. To doubt it would be disloyalty to the great majority and irreverence towards a wise and just Creator. We refuse to believe such slanderous and distorted views of mankind as those put out by Mir. Conner, We utterly refuse to ac- cept the theory that all men would wrong their associates if there were nothing to restrain them. We pity the men who entertain such an indifferent opinion of their fellows. They have no right to put up a standard of morals for the millions of mankind

LOW oprNIoN OF MANKIND.

In all our experience we have never heard a lower opinion of mankind ex- pressed by any human being than that contained in some of the remarks, of Mr. Conner in his speech at the Court house last Thursday night. His decla- ration that the extent of mans cupldity cannot be measured may be pardonable, though we do not believe that the re- mark applies to all men. There is no foundation, however. for a declaration, in enect, that all men who had the op- portunity. would impose upon and take advantage of their fellows where there was no restraining hand or influence. We do not take any stock in any such a proposition.
 The charge that no man will do right except upon compulsion, is one that we have frequently seen or heard made, especially of late years. It is founded either on ignorance or malice. No ter what the motive, the accusation is a islander on the great body of the American people. It is a libel on hu- manity. It is, in short, brutally wrong to speak in general terms of one's fel- low men in the mass as inherently dis honest.
 There are men who will not violate the law because they fear the law. They will not rob, steal. embezzle or forge because they fear punishment. For such men, criminal laws are on our statute books and for them we have criminal courts. Some men are honest through compuIsion, and for such we have laws for restraint, for example and for punishment. The great body of men are not of this sort They do not need laws and courts and juries to keep them from wrongins their fellow men. They are honest because just Creator implanted in their breasts a love of right and hatred of wrong; because they have always before them examples of undertaking rectitude, and because they have love for their fellowmen and would not knowingly do them an in jury

Apples and Salt.

Est fresh apples with salt after ev-
cry meal, advises q physician who has
made . specially Of stomach and intes'
tinal troubles. They aid digestion
more effectively than many drugs, aud
people who make them . part OF tho
daily diet rarely have indigestion.
"Iake apples, cooked or fresh, with
salt while dining or immediately AZ
ter and eat them between times when
hungry, he says. Cultivate the ap.
pie habit, and instead Of eating bon
bons and pastry serve them IN some
form for afternoon tea or for q light
lunches In the morning. Eat them In
the summer even moro than during
the winter months, for nothing Is bet.
tor or more nourishing for the entire
system than this fruit, especially as IL
is not heating. ''The skin, If prop
erly mssticated, is not injurious, but
the best plan is to cut it of, for IT Is
usually tough, IS is the outer coat OF
most fruits. Apples issan aid to diges-
tion despite the crust that Is ordinar-
lily considered hard to sssimilate. The
best time to cat apples is after meals,
when all the fluids neccesaey have
been taken into the stomach, for II
milk, coffee or water are drunk after
takir g this fruit they lessen 1t powers
to help digestion"

Wonder of the World.

Our corn crop is the wonder OF the
world. In 1905 it amounted to 2,7OO-
600, 900 bushels, worth about 81, 216,.
900, 1000, or twice as much as any 9th
or crop. Every section OF the coun'
try contributed q share. But great as
these figures are, they could probably
be doubled In . few years without
planting . single additional acre sim.
ply improving the method OF cultiva'
tion and above all, by getting better
seed. The d. partmsnt Of agriculture
every day receives requests like the
following: "Will you please inform
me where well.bred seed OF variety
of corn suited to this locality can be
purchased?" Unfortunately the ma
jority OF the letters cannot DO salts.
factorily answered because no corn
has been improved for sections OF the
United States from which they come.
AS q consequence tho department is
trying to stimulate at least one per-
ION in every portion Of tho country to
oreed seed corn urging that he who
produces an improved variety for his
section will not only be benefactor to
his community, but also get . hand.
some profit for his work. To help
the work along the department. dis
tributes phamphlets advising the grow
ers how to select his corn at best ad'

Want Them Looked After.

Gov. Cobb, OF Maine, received Z let
tor last week from N. q. Hartman,
of Boston, formerly connected With
the Holy Ghost and Us Colony at Shi-
lob, asking that execution action be
taken to eliminate sufferings In the
Shiloh 0Oolony. The communication
was accompanied by letter from Mrs.
Fred Gailatt, whose husband sold a
prospering plumbing business at Ia
coba and gave the proceeds to Shiloh.
Mrs. Gailatt, who has just left Shi'
lob, says it was nothing les5 than a
prison for her, and that for the last
month of her five years stay the
chief article of food was mush, made
from musty meal. Governor Cobb
says he Is not empowered to take any
action, the courts being the only
means Of dealing with the matter.
Mrs. Gaillatt's husband is with an
expedition bound for the Holy Land

Cotton Picker Needed

The farmer Of the South need a
mechanical cotton picker very much,
and we hope before many moro crops
are made that one will come to solve
the difficulties of gathering the cot
ton crop. Under the present uncer-
tain system it requires something like
800, 900 cotton piokers, each picking
40 pounds of seed cotton on an aver.
age for each picker and working 100
days, to pick . 10000, 600 bale crop.
OF course some pick more than 100
pounds of seed cotton and some less.
There are days when on occount OF
rain, no cotton can be picked. The
average Of 100 pounds day for 100
days Is not wrong as an estimate OF
tho picker's work. At 60 cents q
hundred weight the cost OF picking q
bale of cotton Is 90. At Is cents q
hundred weight tho cost Is s1l.25 q
bale. Therefore the cost of picking
the entire crop will range somewhere
between 800, 900, 900 add s112 500, 900.
This immense sum of money ought to
stimulate some genius to invent q cot.
ton picker that will pick.

ZULU WAR TACTICS.
Method Of Attack With tho Crescent
Formation.

Hethod Of Attack With the Crescent
Formation.
Zulu military tactics are associated
With the name of Tyaka, the ruthless
Zulu conqueror, who welded into the
stock Of the Amazulu, the people OF tho
heavens, all the young men OF the vs!-
rious tribes he conquered, Incorporate
Ing them into regiments and thus
building up O powerful military ma
ton. Yet Il was to Dingisiwayo, the
wanderer, that the inception was due.
This man, the son Of the chief of the
Umtetwa was driven into exile in con-
sequence Of an abortve plot to seize
the reins Of power
During that e1iIs ha lived IN Cape
Colony and saw the military methods
Of the British. With insttnctI genius
he saw how tho idea could be adapted
to bis own nation. and on his return
and accession to the chieftainship he
divided bis people into regiments, dis
thSuishtn8 them by names and by q
special color Of shield for each regi-
mant though for time they retained
the umkomto, or throwing assagai, as
their, chief weapon. He heard the
great use made by the British infantry
Of their favorite weapon. the bayonet,
and so he replaced tho umkomto by the
ixwa, or broad bladed stab!'ing assa-
gai
The peculiarly Of the Zulu tactics
has earned it the name Of the crescent
formation for attack, and it is note
worthy that broadly speaking, it was
tie method employed by the Beers In
their invasion Of Natal and adopted by
Lard Roberts in his advance through
Orange River Colony, and it was the
tear Of its success which kept the
Beers continually on the run. The best
thing with which to compare it is the
head Of the stag headed beetle. Horns
are thrown out widely on either flank,
while the main body forms the head

force b Detached to engage the enemy
while the horns creep around the
Aanka
This force In the days Of Tyaka was
frequently dispatched with the COM
mand, 'Go, sons Of Zulu, go and re-
turn no more" and death at the hands
Of their fellows was the fate Of those
who returned. While this force was
holding the enemy the horns carried
out their task If possible, and as soon
as he two horns had met In the rear
Of the enemy the head or chest was
launched upon the position. and the
upshot was that the whole force Of
ths foe tasted the assagai, for In war
no quarter was given or asked.-South
