WILL THE SHERIFF ACT9

The deputy sheriffs of Davidson Coun-
ty can scent Negro crap game twelve
miles in the country but seemingly
know or can find no evidence of bawdy
houses run by Negro women for white
men. Sheriff Johns in his ante-elec-
ton promises said that he would play
no favorites in enforcing the law He
put the lid on the Sunday saloon,
whether it's owner operated a gilded
palace or corner grog shop. Now
let him still further show his consist
ency by prodding his deputies into
closing these disreputable houses
where white men meet Negro women.
The conditions would not be permitted
for one hour were the racial equation
reversed.
We do not ask that Sheriff Johns
put himself to the trouble of expos
ing the respectable" men guilty of
things indicated in these columns last
week. 1t would be asking too much.
We fear that he would balk if he
found such things as are currently
reported to be true. But we do think
that if he will train the seeming fac
ulties of his deputies so that they can
detect social crimes within three miles
of the county court house with the
same accuracy as crap game twelve
miles away, and will have these Off
GERS gently remind the offenders (if
they find the the parties to the affair
are too respectable" to be arrasted for
consorting with Negro women), that
they are violating the law, needed re-
form will be accomplished peacably.

Secretary Cortelyou has another
race problem on his hands. These
Negro boys, with the effrontery of
their kind, continue to pass the civil
service examination with higher marks
than their white competitors and the
appointing powers not knowing their
color, continue to appoint them to po-
sitions in the governmental service.
Another has broken into one of the
departments as draughtsman. Two
in this one department within a year
was more than one of the clerks could
stand; so he started race war. 1t is
pity they took the colored boy off.
Cortelyou was clerk at one time and
it will not be hard to guess what he
will do in the case.

Foraker made a great speech at Will
berforce last week. He urged his hear
ers, almost all of whom were colored,
not support any man or party that did
not come out flat-footed against the eff
fort being made to abridge Negro suf-
frage. 1t sounded like old times. But
how strange it seems to hear an Ohio
politician speak right out in meeting!
1t seems so different from the McKin-
ley's, Tafts and other soda water
statesmen from that state.

FINE OPENINGS
In the Civil Service. Why Not
 Prepare for the Spring Exam?

This paper wishes to suggest that there is no line of work offering our young people more pleasant and profit able employment than the U. s. Civil Service.
 These places pay never less than $1200 to $500 year to begin with in the Philippines and Panama and nearly as much in the U. s. In spite of this, there has cot besn for some time enough enough eligibles to meet the needs of the Service Ones appointment or salary is in no way influenced by politi- cal pulls or financial panics.
 Those who begin at once could easily prepare to pass the Spring examination and secure one of these positions. The San Bernardino Business College is the only school in California making a speciality of traing for this work and assisting young people to secure Gov ernment appointments. This school has arranged with the authorities at Washington to hold in San Bernardino examinations for 56 different Govern ment positions. Particulars can be had by calling or writing the above school.

SALTON SEA FACTS
Rate of Evaporation Does Not Threat
 en Early Disappearance

en Early Disappearance
 The San Bernardino Sun ap- pears to be a bit puzzled by some statements made in the Press concerning the rate of evapora- ton of Salton Sea, but the pug gle is of it's own creation. The Press did not assert, as the Sun says it did, that the water now flowing into the basin can be de- pended on to maintain the sea at it's present level" but pointed out that the slowness of subsi- dence was due to the inflow and suggested that it might be ad- visable to permit the water to be lowered only a few feet.
 1t does not follow necessarily that, because 1000 acres have been uncovered in one district by recession of the waters this year, the sea will disappear in a few years. Salton Sea covers an area of about 250,O00 acres and when 100, 900 acres of land now under water shall be left dry, the sea will still be about 35 miles in length and more than 10 miles in extreme width. As the area de- creases, the total evaporation al- so decreases, and a moderate in- flow from New River and the drainage of irrigation districts may suffice to maintain the bal ance. Salton Sea cannot dry up until evaporation takes out a great deal more water than is restored by the canals and chan nels of Imperial Valley.
 The Sun will find the puzzle easy of solution if it gives little study to the conditions and does not draw careless differences from plain statements of fact.
