There are over 1900, 900 persons OF
African blood within our borders.
Eight million of these reside in the
former slave states of the South. and
one million in the balance of the
country. Eight million are of full
blood African descent and one mill
ion are of mixed blood. One half of
the entire number are found In the
six states of Alabama, Florida, Geor-
gia, Louisiana, Mississippi and South
Carolina. Taking these six states to-
gether, majority of the population
is black. In South Carolina, accord

$50, 1921 whites and 1872. 1921 blacks. The
same census gives the whites of
Mississippi as 641 200 and the blacks
as 9O7, $3.50. The blacks in Georgia
alone considerably exceed a million
in number, there being but little

Old Shoes.

How much a man is like old shoes!
For Instance, each soul may lose:
Both have been tanned both are
made tight
Byco bblers-botn get left and right
Both need mate TO be complete and
both are made TO go on feet.
They both need healing; oft are sold;
And both, in time, turn all to mold.
With shoes the last is first; with men
The first shall be last, and when
The shoes wear out they are mended
When men wear out, they're men
dead, too,
They both are trod upon and both
Will tread on others-nothing loath
Both have their ties. and both incline,
When polish, in the world to shine;
And both peg out. And would you
choose
To be man or he his shoes?

IMPORTANT JUSTICE"

ETC., are developments from the brain
Of man, and are only as means or
facilities to accomplish an end. Capt.
tai is ever ready to lend helping
hand to the development of both these
resources. 1t is ever ready to help
where merit Is the foundation Of pur-
pose. 1t must not be lost sight Of,
however that capital is both brave and
timid, and in the face of criticism Of
any cause, though 1t may be unjust,
she hesitates, and the pioneer, or the
man who prepares the way. and not
the millionaire, is the one who suffers.
The Miner Of Gold
Now, to the point in other words,
an appeal for justice for the man who
is worthy and whom the whole world
admires-"the miner of gold" The
prospector who. with his pack and
burro laden with the simple nourish-
ments of life starts out alone across
the desert, where there is not a trail
to follow, not a sound of life, nor a
trace of vegetation. and no brooks OF
running water. IF, perchance. the
SHOWS from the mountains have melted
and in the valleys have formed pools,
the water is so polluted with alkali
that It means sickness to partake there
from. Night after night he unfolds his
canvas and blankets and crawls within,
with nothing but the sands Of the
desert for his bed, and the stars of
heaven above for his roof OF shelter.
If he is unfortunate and loses his bear
ings from whence no came. and his
water supply gives out, he Is left to
perish, and God only knows the prayer
that is offered up by him from the
desert.
1t has seemed wise to some of our
papers of literature tc make attacks
on some of the promoters of mining
properties in the great mining camps
of the west, mostly Nevada. Admitting
that there may be unscrupulous ones
who have taker. advantage of conditions
in certain cases, and that their con-
duct has been uncommercial: yet, with
ell this, these same parties sometimes
in published articles of criticism have
opened up some great mines These
Journals in their critic isrns have left
the Outside world in ignorance of the
true conditions. Does the mere fact OF
a failure of an institution in the east,
or the misappropriation OF funds by
some noted financier or banker, cause
the public to lose confidence In it's
men and institutions? No. Every IA
cility available for relief is quickly Of

rave the mining camps any such stu
pendous resources to come to their i'm
mediate relief? Not so The damage
is done, and it is far reaching. The
public Is not even informed of the
merits of the camps, by way of de-
fense. Hence the writer of this arti-
Gle tries, in an humble way, to defend
the mining industry, also the men who,
as he believes, above all others need
defense and justice.
Conservatism Is Observed
Mining today, as a whole, is carried
on in as conservative a way as anv
other business. Millions of money in
gold, copper and other ores are being
mined monthly in Nevada alone, while
| the population of the whole state does
not exceed 100000 people. Millions Of
| this money go to the east and are not
| reinvested here. Consequently, it is
only natural for us to look to the east
for funds to help develop this country,
which as yet has only been scratched,
and the conservative men, the men of
affairs. who do things, are responding
| literally, regardless of any adverse
criticism. AS to comparison of injury
between the investor who has been
unfortunate in investing in some mining
stock and losing his money, and the
gold miner, I ask the investor, as he
sits calmly in his home, to think OF
the hundreds of men whose bones lie
somewhere throughout Death valley
and the desert, and have laid down
their lives for the development of this
western country, and have left loved
ones TO mourn for them. Are not they
entitled to praise and Justice?
Man Behind the Pick
Again, isn't the miner the man be-
hind the pick and the pan as the farmer
is behind the plow and the hoe? Isn't
there the same necessity and the same
virtue in his selling his wares through
the issue OF stock to the public as
there is in the farmers selling his
growing crop for future delivery, or the
millionaire selling his stock to the pub
lie in advance, for the building OF
prospective railroads or mills for manu-
featuring?
The great mining fields of the west
are the resources to this country as
the corn and wheat fields are to the
Mississippi valley. Capitalists are APP
preciating such. and are rapidly ex-
tending their transcontinental lines into
this mining country. Millionaires
whose names are household words are
coming in personally and Investing
heavily. The burro Is rapidly giving
way TO high power automobiles, which

Rv EwIs BENT WILSON

In this twentieth century in which
we are living and which has brought
us face TO face with conditions, both
social and commercial, which are so
changed and so unlike the conditions
and environments that existed. in the
days of our forefathers. man stops and
seems to hesitate on the threshold Of
future events. When he arises in the
morning, he Is awakened to find the
events of the preceding day at his door,
chronicled in the pages of our great
journals. He views with almost a
fear the great combinations of wealth
being formed by men that the ultt-
mate ends of such will be the means
of sinking into oblivion the equity OF
justice to all mankind.
Connection in Journalism has also be-
come so keen that our magazines are
constantly on the alert in scrutinizing
men, conditions and places OF interest
that 1t may bring them readable mat
ter for which the public will clamor.
We will grant that many articles SO
published by these journals are for the
good, but we are also aware that some
have been so contaminated with un-
lust criticism that our president has
called a halt on them. The men with
their millions, who have the power and
often thwart the ends Of justice in
more ways than one, do not care for
the attacks upon them or their cor
porations They fight in the courts and
in the halls of justice until the de-
fenseless public cries out as In the
wilderness, and the millionaire is given
only an immunity bath.

be necessary to go still further. The
basis upon which this great common
wealth of ours rests and exists, It's
progress, even its life, are two great
resources.
First: The opportunity that has been
given man that he may reap, or har-
vest from Mother Earth an abundance
from the seed which he has sown.
Second: That he may gather from
the richness OF her minerals the wealth
there deposited, that he may trade and
traffic in the same and which helps TO
make a basis OF intrinsic value along
with the supply and demand for all our
products.
