COLOR LINE IN THE NORTH.
(The Columbia State.)


But let no one be deceived. The
color line is as real-and no more so
in Boston, in Philadelphia, in New
York, in Springfield, in Washington,
as it is anywhere in the south. We
take up recent issue Of the Boston
Transcript. and note the caption of an
article-"The Color Line in Boston"
A part Of the same caption informs us
that there is race discrimination here
as elsewhere" that this race prejudice
is cherished and practiced by hotels,
theaters, and, alas! the churches; and
that the feeling Of the son of the abo-
litionist is not the same as his
fathers" Another issue of The
Transcript contains an editorial on the
Color Line in the Treasury" at Wash
ington, under the very nose of the
president, who, as is well known, is
not color" blind, though he could not
see the negroes who rescued" him on

THE BANKS ARE "NExT."
(The Omaha Investigator.)

Mr.. Ollie M. James of Kentucky, in a
speech in congress which the pluto
cratic papers took pains not to men
tion, said: "The statement Of the
United States treasury issued on the
29th day of January, 1907, shows in
national bank repositories of the Unit
ed States s161,O61, 1926. This won
derful sum Of the peoples money is in
the national banks, without the pay
ment Of one single cent of interest,
on which great sum of money they
are charging from 6 to 10 per cent
per year when they lend this money
back to the people. 1 challenge the
world for a greater or more vicious
act of class legislation. 1 challenge
anyone to present a scheme of spoil
alton Of graft to excel it." And that
money was handed over to the banks
at the request of Wall street gamblers
to relieve the money market!

MEN AND THE CHURCH.
(The Toronto Globe.)

No other movement is more signifi-
cant than the awakening and organic
ing and directing of the lay forces in
the various churches now going on
both in Canada and in the United
States. Representative conventions
of laymen have been held in various
American cities, which for power and
prestige are seldom equaled by any
thing Of the sort ever witnessed in the
political arena. Men Of the very fore
most rank in the callings to which
they belong, men who have done
things, and in whom is the vitality and
vision of still larger achievement,
meet together to confer over the
church situation, its facts and it's fu-
ture; and with the directness of train
ed men of business, and the enthusi-
asm of men who believe, they are set
ting about their business as men of
the church with a purposefulness
which means success.

THE COLOR PROBLEM.

The problem is a troublesome one.
with small promise of solution so far
as government employment is concern
ed. The government is pledged by
constitutional amendments to recog-
nize no race or color distinctions In
American citizenship or rights, and so
long as the negro can pass the civil
service examinations the door of fed
eral employment is open to him. Prac-
tical demonstration of this fact may
have the effect of curing some of the
young men and women of the coun.

of a higher tax. That is to say, most
of the private messages are only of a
semi-necessitous character, and under
the new rate rules great many form

will require a readjustment Of busi-

A NEW OCTOPUS.
(Arizona Republican }

The report comes all the way from
London that officials of the British and
Foreign Bible Society have admitted
that a great Scripture trust has been
formed, and the conclusion that the
principal purveyors of the Word of
Life have been benefited by virtual
monopoly is being forced upon the
English Bible-consuming public. The
facts in the case, as brought out in
an alleged interview with the secreta-
ry of the big London plant, are not
calculated to remove the impression.
1t is only fair to the managers of the
alleged Scripture trust to state that
they explicitly deny that they have
exclusive control of what Rev. Arthur
Taylor calls the raw material" In
other words, there is an abundant sup
ply of crude heavenly mama, which
is at the disposition of any consumer,
or, for that matter, any intrepid in
dependent dealer who may wish to
mine for it, or bore for it, whichever
method may be the most practicable.
1t is as If combination of capitalists
should combine for the purpose of con-
trolling the market for refined rock OIL
or, as it is sometimes called, crude
petroleum. In such an imaginary case
it could be consistently claimed that
while certain traffic arrangements had
been made by which no sales were to
be made in competition with members
Of the pool, any consumer could have
access to the great storehouse of crude
petroleum which nature has provided
in the bowels of the earth.

SOCK THE SOCK TRUST.
(Fort Worth Telegram.)

The great American sock trust met
a few days ago and decided upon an
immediate advance Of Is per cent of
all articles Of hosiery, and this Is an
act that serves to show how utterly
heartless these great combinations of
capital can and do become. The Amer
lean cotton crop for 1905 was less than
1900, 900 bales, and there was no ad-
vance In the price of socks. The cotton
crop for 1906 is in excess of $4,000, 900
bales, and the action taken by the
trust represents an advance in the
price in the face of an increased sup
ply.
Some years ago the French military
establishment ordered that the rank
and file of the French army should not
wear socks, and later developments re-
f1ected the wisdom of the order in the
improved health Of the army. Back
in the early history of Texas the men
who hunted on the plains of Texas
never wore socks even in cold wealth
er. Jerry Simpson, product Of Kan
sas, was always successful as long as
he eschewed socks, and his downfall
followed the adoption of gay hosiery.
Under such circumstances there ap-
pears but one thing to do and that Is
to sock IL to the sock trust by going
socikless. It may be q little BIT un-

ERROR OF PRESIDENTS FOES.
(The Boston Transcript.)

(The Boston Transcript)
1t seems to us that the presidents
opponents have made a mistake in not
coming out squarely and saying that
they did hope to wrest the control
Of the party from his hands, by bring
ing to pass in 1908 the nomination of a
man more suited to their tastes. This
would be a legitimate endeavor to
which no reasonable person could take
exception. 1t would be nothing for any
man to apologize for. They might
dissent from details which are doubt
less exaggerated and fanciful, as was
at once recognized, but their desire
to shake the control of Mr.. Roose-
welt should not have been denied.

THE THEOLOGICAL SCHOOLS.
(The Philadelphia Press.) }

(The Philadelphia Press.)
A steady movement is apparent in
both the training and work of clergy
men away from languages and theolo-
gy and toward the study Of social
problems. This is wise, if it is done
thoroughly. The real difficulty is that
while a medical student does thrice
the work he once did and law stu
dent twice, to enter on his profession,
a future clergyman works no longer in
time and does less work in study. The
number of candidates also is diminish
ing. Since 1900 the number of sim
ners in the country has grown some
~7,000,000; but the number of men
studying to preach to them has fallen
from 5000 to 5000, and grows less
yearly. This is more serious thing
than abolishing Hebrew here and
there.

1T WORKED ALL RIGHT.
(The Philadelphia Record.)

There was howl over the adoption
of two-cent postage when the rate was
reduced from three cents. A deficit
was prophesied; but an increased rev.

from the adoption Of two-cents-a-mile
railway fares. More people will travel.
Half-empty cars will be filed. Where
the experiment has been fairly tested

BOB TAYLOR ON MONEY.
(The Clifton Mirror.)

IIhe Clifton MIrrOr.)
1t Is said that back in 1895 when
the money issue came into prominence
some one asked Bob Taylor how he
stood on the question. His reply was
very Tayloresque: 81 am in favor of
more gold, more silver, more green
back and better grade of counter
felt" Boiled down to it's last anal

THE DAYS OF CAPTAIN KIDD.
(New York World.)

This all took place in the days of
Captain Kidd. After a long and des-
perate chase the man-ofwar overhaul
ed the pirate craft and raked it fore
and aft. The survivors of the crew
were put in irons and taken into port
to be tried for their crimes and mis-
demeanors. AS might have been ex-
John G. Milburn appeared as counsel
for the defendants.
while it is admittedly true" said
Mr.. Milburn, that my clients here
did cut throats, scuttle ships and ap-
propriate to themselves the treasure
OF many merchantmen, yet these acts
were merely an indirect or incidental
result Of my clients being associated
and banded together. We contend that
the murder and piracy were only con-
sequential and incidental to the exer-
else Of an absolute and undoubted
right which all men have to go down
to the sea together In ships, and hence
we ask the dismissal of these absurd
charges against the defendants"
Then Mr.. Cravath addressed the
jury. 'Tt is true" he said, that my
clients here in the heat of a generous
commercial rivalry did cut a few
throats and appropriate certain goods
and chattels. But you must remember
that at one time in the history of
society murder was an ofPense with
which the general public had nothing
to do, vengeance being left to the kin
OF the lately deceased. Moreover, the
acts Of these defendants must be re-
garded as typical of class Of trans
actions which have been common in
the past on the Spanish Main, and
which were once regarded as entirely
proper, as the gentlemen of the jury
may ascertain for themselves by con-
sulting the works Of the Greek histo-
rians."
Unfortunately the law at this time
was looked upon rather more as
science than an art. So a none too
intelligent jury promptly convicted the
defendants, and Judge who was inn
patient to get to the tavern to dinner
Immediately sentenced them to be
hanged by the neck until they were
dead.

comfortable for the sockless during the
early stages of the action, but we will
grow accustomed to the innovation in
time. And when the sock trust realizes
that We have determined to become a
Sockless nation it will take the nee
essary steps to go out of business.
