WASHINGTON, p. c., August O.
Politicians here are taking deep in
terest in recent statement Of MI
Bryan in his magazine debate with
Senator Beveridge in. which he makes
what appears to be his first public
declaration on the suffrage laws OF
the South. In the course Of his arti-
Gle he says.
'"rhe Senator attempts to use the
negro Of the South as a shield to ward
off the attacks of Democrats. but In
doing so he betrays his lack OF knowl-
edge OF the Democratic positions The
suffrage qualifications were imposed,
not because the colored man Is In
capable OF sclf-government, but be-
cause he Is not advanced sufficiently
to govern the white race. Where the
two races are thrown together the
question is not whether the black man
is capable OF self-government, bu.
whether he Is capable OF administer
ing the government under which both
must live. In such cases the more
advanced race as a matter OF self
preservation fixed suffrage qualfflca
tons IN order to- protect Inc ClVlllHa-ft
ton. ~
But Senator Bevcridge ovcrlooks,
the fact that the Democrats OF the South
show more consideration to the black
man than the Republicans show to
8 the brown men of the Orient In the
first place the suffrage qualifications
OF the ,outh raise temporary barrier
To suffrage. and under all the amend
ments adopted some OF the colored
men now vote, and new voters are,
added year after year, but under a
colonial policy the l'ilipinos are per-
munently barred from citizenship. OH
this point the black man of the South
& has distinct advantage over the Fili-
pino.
Second. the colorcd people of the
South are protected by the Constitu-
tion of the United States, and by, the
Constitutions of the various States. In
this respect also the black man OF the
South has distinct advantage over
the brown man OF the Orient
Third. the colored people OF the
South live under the same laws the
white people make for themselves.
rs 1t not astonishing that the Re-
publican party, which came into ex-
istence by championing the rights Of
the black man, should now be SO In
different to the rights of the brown
men? And Is 1t not strange that 1t
should attempt to involve this govern
ment in the solution OF race ques-
ton 1000 miles from home when the
race question that we already have Is
so difficult OF solution?"

All $4,000 PER CHILD,
NO WONDER RACE SUICIDE

III CHAUTAUQUA. N. Y, August d.
John Graham Brooks, author-Soclalist
Of Boston, believes the cost Of living
to be the chief cause Of race suicide,
according TO an address he made at
the ChautAuqua Assembly.
IT hesitate to bring UP the question
Of race suicide he said. but 1t Is u
dismal fact that the Increased expense
OF bringing up children in cities where
the people either choose or are COM
PEELED TO live, Is largely responsible Tor
the decrease in the birth rate.
II have estimated 1t carefully that
among the middle classes in our cities
each child Will cost his parents $4,000
from his birth until he reaches eco
nomic independence.
Mr. Brooks declared That for each
case of insanity or suicide there We're
ten sources OF Degeneration which
many ascribe to the rapid pace OF
modern life.

Stidard, a local riverman, to-day found
the drowned body of his ten-year-old
son, Emerson, in the Monongahela

In boat to the spot indicated In his

Late to-day an empty skiff was seen
floating in midstrearn, and the boys

TIE LARGER FOREST
OF SANTA CATALINA
A Proclamation by Which II Is In
creased to More Than 100000 Acres.

Washington. July 23.-(Special Cor
respOndence Of The Republican.)-On
July 19 the president signed a new
proclamation for the Santa Catalina
national forest, Arizona. by which
219.S40 acres were added to its area
The addition lies in Pima, Cochise and
Pinal counties. The addition on the
north includes an area of rough tim
berland and woodland country lying
between the old boundary and the lit
tie health resort at oracle. The most
important part of the new area. how
ever. consists of the Sierra el Rincon.
or Rineon mountains. lying TO the
southeast of the old forest and extend
ing to within a few miles of the South
ern Pacific railroad.
The Santa Catalina forest as IL now
stands comprises the northern ex-
tremuy of the high divide between
Santa Cruz and San Pedro rivers The
southeast corner of the forest now ex-
tends to within a few miles of Benson.
The summit of the Sierra el Rincon
is covered with a magnificent growth
of pines. with an admixture Of the
rare Arizona cypress. In the early
days lumber was brought down from
these mountains for construction pur-
poses at Tucson. The new addition
includes the watershed of the Rincon
wash. a tributary. of the Santa Cruz
river. The word RincOn means "bas-

in the small basin on the west side
of the mountain and irrigate their lit

the forest i'm area an increase in tbs
administrative force will be necessary
1t is expected that considerable worl
will be done this season in the way
of trail building. The most important
work at present. however. is protection
from forest fires.
