ND DANGER.

The Richmond News-Leader is not very favorably impressed by the gloomy lucubrations of those prophets of evil who are continuously predicting uni versal starvation for poor humanity on account of the inability of the land to produce food enough to feed all the people. Speaking of the phenomenal corn crop of 1s2 bushels grown by a South Carolina man on a single acre of land our contemporary thinks it quite likely that the very land which has produced this 1S2 bushel crop would yield as low as fifteen bushels with neglectful or careless culture and would average thirty or forty bushels with the average culture. The truth Is, there is no limit yet known to man to the possibilities of the soil. Mil- lions of acres now waste or fallow in every part of the country can be made to produce abundantly of food for living things. Burbank, in California, pro- duces full grown and fruited walnut trees in fifteen or twenty years and a few years ago that would have been thought an impossibility. Mir. Tindal, in South Carolina. produces 1892 bushels of corn from an acre. which. twenty years ago. would have been laughed at by all farmers as an empty dream. What. with selection of seeds to secure the largest. most vigorous and most prolific and stimulation of ground so as to bring from 1t results beyond all thought, mankind is learning 10 in- crease his power with the soil almost as greatly in proportion as he has learned to increase his mechanical force with steam, electricity and improved tools and machinery Why sensible people who can find something better to talk about and think about, should work themselves into dismal forebod- ings of q time of universal pinch or famine because the food supply will not keep pace with the increase of population. is beyond our comprehen- sion"

DIT HIS FOOT IN TT.

Az The Charlotte Observer sees It, The President put his foot in 1t deep when he announced his intention to ap- point a negro as Surveyor of Customs at Cincinnati It was matter Of course that terrible howl would go up rom the community upon which the honor xva~ sto he thrust. The Republicans of the city are a unit in urging the Pres idenf to send the colored brother up to cleveland. the home of Western aboli- tionisn, but 10! Representative Burton rushes post haste to Washington at the mention of such thing. A constrained attitude is observable on the part of the press of that section which, with few exceptions, whooped 1t up for Crum's confirmation as Collector of the port of Charleston. The prospect of any exten- sion of negro Federal office-holding be- yond the half-dozen or so appointees In Now York and Massachusetts Is man ifestly unwelcome. It is clear that by compelling people who have been at tacking him for doing justice without regard to race in the Brownsville af- fair to realize their own more or less unconscious hypocrisy on the whole race uuestion he has stirred up so much re- sentiment that the step is far from being the successmul anti Foraker political move which it was intended to be- But these are not the worst of the trou- bles into which the poor President plunged himself in that evil moment
 Much as he desires to maintain his political prestige and to escape the necessity of riding from the White House to the capital on March 3, 1909, with one of his factional enemies peace in the bosom of his family is an even greater consideration. What shall 1t profit man to become President of inc whole world and lose out in re- spect? If, in announcing his intention to make the Cincinnati appointment, he was momentarily unmindful of the fact that he has a son-in-law, he has since become acutely aware of the fact. Gin cinnatf Republicans have served notice on the Hon. Nicholas Longworth that if the negro Tyler gets the job 1t is all over with him. Remembering that it was only the active exertion of his august father in laws great influence which kept him where whim of Boss, now ex-Boss, Cox first put him, Nick would have to be far more weak mind ed than he is not to see the point. He has inflicted heavy wear and tear upon the streets of Washington in rushing three times day to the White House to plead with it's exalted inmate. We see no choice for the White House but to capitulate. The Presidents state of mind must be such as to move the pity of Senator Foraker himself"

GETTING IT STRAIGHT.

Hon. Richard Olney, who was Sec retary of State under President Cleve- land. and who is universally acknowl- lawyer, recently wrote to Congressman Mccall of Massachusetts, a letter re-
 lating to the much discussed San Fran
 cisco school affair in which he said: Japan is wholly without cause of complaint against California by req the United States is without legal ground of interference with that system vi ct armis or otherwise Referring to this opinion The Boston Globe says:
 Aside from the present interest in the San Francisco matter, the position which Mir. Olney takes is that which rests upon the tnviolable rights of the States, as described in the constitution, which cannot legally be impugned by Federal authority. Incidents such as the case in California occur from time to time, and may be reEretta ble .as sources of public uueasinCSs. but Che preservation of State identity with all its guaranteed attributes is the surcst safeguard of that 'more perfect union
 for tle establishment of which the con stitution was brought into existence.
 As The Advertiser has more than once remarked, such incidents are re grettable from one point of view. Any semblance Of conflict of authority be- tween State and Federal government ! is to be regretted, but from another ! point this matter Is rather to be wei comed because 1t has served to brinE

 out SO many sound exprsssions of opin-l ion from able lawyers, statesmen and newspapers setting forth the lines of demarkation between State and Nation al governments.
 One of the latest we have seen. which appears at the same time of The Globes sound language. Is from The New York Commercial. and Is so much to the point that we do not hesitate to absorb 1t. as it were. It declares that Mir. olney's opinion can hardly fall to go lons way in bringing lot of emotional Americans back to ealmness and con servatism and lot of irrational ones back to reason. Just how 1t will ap- peal to the present occupant of the White House need not concern the country acutely. The California and the Federal courts will take care of this case with becoming deliberations and dignity. MT. olney bases his contention on the last paragraph of the second article of the existing treaty between Japan and the United States--the art icle following that in which certain rights and privileges are ceded to the subjects of either nation when resident in or travelling in the territory of the other It provides that the stipulations contained in the preceding article do not in any way affect the laws. ordin- ances and regulations in regard to trade, the immigration of laborers, po- lice and public security, either in force or which may hereafter be enacted in either of the two countries" Califirnia's laws-those now in force as well as any that may be enacted in the future--so long as they are not in conflict with the Federal constitution, cannot be abro- gated by any treaty pledges that the United States may happen to give to foreign nation. That State is free to conduct her school system in her own way-just as Maine is or Florida or Oregon; and if the United States were to make a treaty with some power on the Dark Continent, granting unre- stricted public school privileges to it's subjects in this country, Florida, which excludes blacks from it's white schools, would pay no more attention to 1t than to an order from the King of the Can- nibal Islands. Myriads of good Ameri- cans wouldn't treat the Japanese as California treats them--but that Is merely a matter of preference, of taste, of choice. Every dead man to his own cemetery, and every friar to his mon- astery!' The Roosevelt administration ought never to have put its finger into

NO SQUARE DEAL IN SUCH FAVOR
 ITISM.

It will be a difficult matter to recon cile the people of Alabama to the jus tice of exempting from taxation. for ten years, any new cotton mills establish ed in Alabama in the next five years, and additions to old mills if they amount to as much in value as $5O,0O0. The little fellow is out under the limit clause. while the big rich mill owners and corporations can double their present capacity and be exempt from all taxation on the addition for ten years. It is not carrying out the much proclaimed doctrine of equal rights for all, and special privileges for none," when one industry, in the hands of rich men and corporations, is pam pered and freed from a proper share in meeting State and other expenses. while every other industry Is taxed to the ut most limit. Some of them even, rail- roads for instance, If the powers that on the basis of what their stocks and bonds may be quoted at. when every body knows a gang of spectators can run prices up or down, without any reference to value. Rich cotton mill owners should be taxed on just as near the actual value of the property as rail- roads. shoe factories. ice factories. steel plants. or any other species of prop erty.
 We do not see how any man can vote for giving cotton mill owners ex- emption from taxation and then refuse to exempt from taxation the property of a Confederate Veteran, if 1t does not amount to more than the constitution exempts from levy and sale. The pres ent is not the only hour in the cata- logue of time.

In Spain they have of late been ex- perimenting with something like our jury system in the trials of criminal offences and the complaint is made that in certain provinces 1t has been found impossible to get jury to convict any one charged with the crime of bomb throwing or anything of like nature. Evidently 1e people of those provinces have a kind of fellow feeling for the anarchists and refuse to punish them.
