THREATENED EUROPE.

(From Collier's.)
An American traveller, lately re-
turned from Abyssinia, says that
from Casablanca to Natal there is
not brown man nor black but has
heard the rumor, distorted and
strangely adorned, that somewhere
beyond, the horizon, in a long and
bloody war, a small brown man has
whipped and routed a big white one,
and similar reports about Asiatic
and African feeling are being made
on every hand. In primitive huts
they chatter and question their ira
dition that a white man never dies.
Where neither the telegraph nor
the newspaper reaches, on some
strange wing of rumor, the story Of
the Japanese-Russian War has pene-
trated; and lone outposts of white
men, who depend for their suprema-
cy on the tradition Of superiority
feel in the air about them, and in
the manner of the natives, the les
SEEMING of submission. Among blacks
and Browns less ignorant than the
Central Africans there is stirring
restlessness. India for the Indians"
is frank protest against EngIand's
dominance in her Asiatic empire
Some foresee the rising which will
slaughter or expel every white man
in Africa. The Hindus Of Chader-
magyar are using the boycott against
their French rulers, and minor mani
feStatiOnS of brown discomfort are
more noticeable than when alarm at
the yellow peril was first felt. Is
the cOmplacent tradition of white
dominance a thing Of which the
proof, on analysis, becomes merely
the fact that it has always been so?
The last Moorish stronghold in Eu-
rope fell to the Spaniards in 1892;
less than century later, Don John
fAustria, in the battle Of Lepanto
established the naval supremacy of
Caucasians in the Mediterranean. In
1858, John Sobiesky saved the white
race from a very genuine fright OF
Mohammedan domination over all
Europe, by driving the Turks back
from the walls of Vienna Long com
placency has made the Caucasian as
sumo divine right to dominate the
world. Not for centuries, until Muk-
den and Port Arthur, did a pagan
non-Caucasian people decisively over
come one that was Christian and
white, and deprive it Of dominion in
territory where it had been long es-
tablished. Now we begin to ask such
questions every day as this: Between
a hundred Of the Japs who arrives or
the Kumeric and a hundred Ameri.
leans picked by chance in any Ameri-
can town.. in any competition OF
arms or Of industry which calls for
brains1 which would triumph?

APPEAL FOR THE FARM.
independence and Happiness Flourish
on the Soil.

Gov. Hughes, iii Leslie's Weekly.
When you get, out where a man
has little elbow room and a chance
to develop, he has thoughts of his
own. His thinking is not supplied to
him every night and every morning,
and he is less of machine and
more Of man, go that do not think
that the farmers need to be looked
upon, or want to be looked upon, as
dependents Of the State. They do
not come to the-State government
asking aims. They are self-reliant,
they are intelligent. What we want
in. connection with agriculture is
what we want In connection with
every other fieldSof noble effort. We
want training, we want intelligence,
we want scientic method, we want
direction, we want tho way shown,
then we can walk I'm 1t. There is no
reason why the same care and inten-
ton and skill and scientific consid-
Grafton sho,ald not, be. devoted to ag-
riculture As t&Hndustry and the

some day IN New York--and the day

good chance on the farm, and that

THE REAL YELLOW PERIL.

| (From the Wheeling Intelligencer.)
| Wider far than the local manifes-
tations in California and British Col
umbia is the race problem that looms
] above the worlds horizon Four
hundred million white men have pre-
empted and propose to try to hold
| for their own over one-half Of the
habitable earth They have taken
the choicest portions Of both hemis-
| pheres. Against these stand over a
| billion black, brown and yellow men,
! who are restricted to the smaller and
| poorer half of the world; ana even
those lands which they call their own
have been invaded and are" being ex-
| plotted by the white man.
For nearly five hundred years the
| tradition Of superiority has done
much to enable the Caucasian to ex-
tend his sway over other races, but
that tradition has been rudely shat

Is an authority ON African affairs,
writes In a London review that in all
Africa, from Gibraltar to Good Hope,
and from the Atlantic to the Indian
ocean, there is not black man who
| has not heard in some confused way
| that somewhere great war has been
| fought and a yellow man has beaten
q white man. Around savage camp
| fires, in slave traders stronghOlds
and most of1all in the centers Of Mos
| lem fanaticism, the news has been
| received with rejoicing 1t is idle
to question the intellectual acuteness
OF the Japanese, the Chinese, the
| Arab and the Hindoo They are not
| inferior to the Caucasian in mental
| and physical capacity. In numbers
| and solidarity they are immensely SUI
perior. 1t was the. teeming hordes
Of rough barbarians whom the Ro-
| mans despised that finally swept out
| Of the forests Of Germany and over
came the Roman empire. Is there
any certainty that the Caucasian's
| worldwide domination, OF which ev-
| cry white man has been so confident,
may not suffer like fate? The
problem is already pressing home to
the rulers Of the British empire. In
/ Australia the white men are desper-
ately opposing ever-swelling streams
OF Japanese, Chinese and Hindo i'm
| migration. In South Africa, In In
dia and lastly in British Columbia,
| the same problem presents itself in
| different forms. We have it in Cali
fornia. 80. -.
1t is worldwide question, and
may well command the best atten-
ton of the men who shape, the desti~
MES Of the great empire which the
Caucasian race has taken for its
own. T.. ..

OPEN HOUSE FOR WHITE MEN
Says the New York Press:

-
I "a New Yorker Just returned from
the Philippines tells of two American
| officers who kept house at Bayango-
| man. In the Philippines, renting a
| large, one-story den, and hiring a
couple of natives for servants. Their
military duties often took them away
for days and even weeks Mt time.
and they always took the servants
along. During these absences the
door was left unlocked and no key
was turned on the larder, which was
| always stocked with canned delica-
cies, including butter, and also good
wine. But to the house door was all
ways af1 led the following placard in
large black letters:
CASA BLANCO.
To whom 1t may concern:
This is q white. mans house.
and any WHITE men who may
happen to call here during the
absence of it's occupants are cor
daily invited to make them
selves comfortable and partake
OF what they require until the
return of the undersigned. The
only qualification required is a
white skin.
-, JOHN ]. HAWKINS.
VIZ ON oMI
Strange to say, while several white
men took advantage Of the invitation
and enjoyed the hospitality of the
absent hosts not single native
stepped over the sill.
That no native ever stepped over
the sill of these officers house does
not strike us as being the least bit
strange. 1t does, however, seem
strange that United States army off,
GERS should go so far out of their
way to insult gratuitously a people
whom they are supposed to be paci-
flying and civilizing. 1t is these
rather too frequent examples of An
glo-Saxon arrogance and assumed
superiority which have retarded the
pacification of the Philippines and
have nurtured the wish of a large
number of the natives for independ-
Eence or union with Japan.

Financial Situation
 Becoming Normal

d fact ot which every loyal citi- zen should feel proud.
 A meeting of the bankers of Washington and Benton Coun- ties was held at Rogers Saturday to confer Ill regard to the s1tua- tion throughout the country, and particularly with reference to this section. The following banks were represented: First National, Benton County Nation al, Bentonyille; First National, Bank of Rogers, Citizens Bank, Rogers First National. Bank of Springdale, Farmers and Mer- chants, Springdale; First Nation al. Fayetteville National, Arkan- sas National, McIlgoy Banking Go, Fayetteville; Bank of Lin- coin. It was tie unanimous opinion of those present that there will be no occasion for any unusual measures, IS the banks throughout this section are prob ably in q better condition than ever before in their histories. The situation throughout the country seems to be rapidly inn proving, and conditions are be- coming normal, as they have been here all along. So if you have money on deposit in your home bank, don't become fright ened at the wild talk of some ir- responsible person and hasten to draw It out, thereby taking the risk of losing 1t by fire or rob- bery. It IS much safer in the bank, where you can get all. or part of II, as your needs require, any time you desire.
