a half billion dollars worth of
cotton went abroad in 1906. This

many Americans go abroad every
year and spend money freely. With

THE RACE QUESTION.
ivan NOrdeu MapazjnoI

The race question in this country
mas, first and last, been productive Of
50 many bitter disputes and SO mu ch
suffering and sacrifice that, like the
ostrich, we are inclined to figurativeA
~ bury our heads in the
sands of inaction and try
to avoid the subject altogether. And
yet there Is no man who will deny
that this race question is today as
stunning very large Importance in
this country. We have about nine
millions Of Negroes scattered
throughout the South and North
While the question on social equality
seems for the present to be settled
there are other questions, industrial
and political, which present grounds
for dispute, resulting, unfortunately,
In "a growing feeling in the North
against the Negro.
Today the Negro Is indispensable
to the South. Without him our
Southern States could not plant, pick
and market their cotton. without
him this industry would be prostra-
ted. But in the South there are
many complaints on the part Of the
planters and manufacturers that this
same Negro labor is not dependable,
and that with 1t the South is not de-
velopjng as her natural resources
warrant. We understand that Inn
migration agents from the Southern
cities are in Europe striving to bring
about the emigration of desirable
people, and there Is also movement
for the. diversion from Northern to
Southern points, Of part Of the
great flood Of immigration r, ------~-,-..-. i. =
On the other hand, those who de-
fend the Negro state that he is max
ing great strides; that he is becom-

The Black Republic of Liberia

ch1se Is exercised only by male cit
liens possessing real estate, and we
understand that these people gov
erh themselves successfully: -.;tf They
nave maintained themselves almost
unafded against their greedy neigh
bors and have established churches,
colleges and I'VE newspapers. Ger
tatnly the example of Liberia teaches
us that Negroeo lii communities of
their own may develope commend
able POLITICAL and social organiza-
tons and largely better ttheir own
condition. Those interested in the
,colored race should read Sir Henry
Johnson's LIBERIA" showing the
progress that these blacks have
made. -. T.. rs :. >$,.},..t ..,ps.'.:
There are at present several Negro
villages In this country, one OF which
especially has been, very; successful ,
and perhaps the emulation of the ex-
ample of the citizens OF Liberia by
our colored people In America
might have -Rs good results.
IN view OF the fact that 1t took

THE BRITISH BREAKFAS ST.
Derrick's British Report.

Derrick's British Report
distinguished author once de-
scribed an unripe persimmon as a
fine incentive to generosity, since VIC
would rather give 1t to another than
eat 1T ourselves; and perhaps the
English breakfast may be likened to
the early persimmon.
Monotony is the keynote of the
early meal In British household.
Not but that the food is good and
substantial, but there Is a sameness
year in and year out about the dish
es that is trying indeed to an Amer
lean. Here Is a list OF eatables and
turntables made up, from the break
fast menu Of ten mfddleclass English
households and ten purely English
hotels.
Porridge, served with sugar and
milk; ham and,eggs, eggs and bacon,
grilled ham, boiled and poached
eggs, fried sausages, dried fish
(herrings on haddocks), dry toast,
white or brown bread and butter,
marmalade or jam, tea or coffee.
The man or woman who has been
accustomed to break the fast with
wheat cakes and maple syrup, fol-
lowed by grilled bluefish and q juicy
porterhouse or pork tenderloin,
helped out by freshly ground coffee,
cranberry jelly, Virginian honey
and a choice Of a hundred or more
delights In the way Of bread and
freshly baked cakes, sits down to

WILLIAM DEAN HOWELrs

Tomorrow William Dean Howells
reaches the allotted years Of man up
on the earth. Seventy years, And it
seems but yesterday that we began to
follow him in his flights, and along
neW-fOund paths. Mr.. HoweIls is con.
sidercd the first living novelist Of
America, and as one Of it's first poets.
His contributions to the literature of
the country, while they lack the imagi.
native power Of either Hawthorne or
roe, ana that Of others space will not
allow us to mention, are permanent
and are apart from the productions Of
those gone on before. Dclicafg.yet full
OF purpose, clean, yet without weak
ness, they occupy a field no other
American has trod. Here, then. is
me distinguishing traits Of this
Western novelist.
what interests us more than all
else in connection with this mans Ito
is that he received his ifryDiration n
write while setting type on an Adolf
ton paper out in Ohio. He wrote for
the slave, and supported Lincoln. He
never Straycd from his principles: he
SUI worshiDs justice, and speaks out
against iniquity. Another great Amer
jcan the Negroes may well feel proud
