the inevitable result that pure white

which l have quoted? We all know
he would not and while fine words

THE southern white men and wom-

in every possible way this doctrine of
the equality of the races, are just as
resolved now as they have always been
not to submit to it or it's results. They
are resolved to maintain control of
their state governments and to pre-
vest in every way possible social and
political equality with the inevitable
destruction of their civilization which
would follow if they yielded. The con-
ditions are growing more and more
aggravated every day. Race antagon-
ism increases in intensity. Are things

of our time inadequate to cope with
this question as the craftsmanship OF

be determined in the near future. That
is only one phase of the question.
On the Pacific coast the relation
ship between the Mongolians and the
Caucasians is involved. The President
announces himself as favoring the pol
icy of absolute obliteration of the race
line. the granting of full citizenship
to the Japanese. The Americans of
the Pacific coast, as l understand it
are bitterly opposed to this policy and
without regard to party lines. These
Americans ought to know what is for
their best interests and they ought 20
and undoubtedly will have the sympa-

race problem sink into insignificance

Under the law these people possess
every right that white men have as
far as the federal constitution confers
rights and the 18th amendment ex-
pressly forbids the enactment of any
law which shall discriminate in voting
on account of race or color. Large
numbers of these negroes are dis
franchised at this time, but these laws
are only temporary and work no cure

will be able to vote to make inevitable

Says President is to Blame.

"The whole issue involved is one Of
race and the President is primarily
more responsible than any other man
for the position the negroes in the
south have taken on the question Of
negro rights. He gave recognition to
Booker Washington in social way.
He did it knowing he was flying in the
face Of caste feeling among seventeen
millions Of southern white men and
against the same feeling of two-thirds
or three fourths of the northern peo-
pie. He does not understand the ne
gro or the deep and vital character of
the Issues involved. He made mess
of it IN the first instance and has made
worse mess of the last.
"He speaks by suggestion in his re
cent message as a motive to crime.
What would calculate to provoke the
negroes to crime more than those
words?
1.-THE we'll known attitude of the ad.
ministration on the social question has
been the cause of great and notable
change in the demeanor and action of
the negroes throughout the south and
the greater question of relationship
between the races cannot be much

COAL MARKET.

Chicago, Jan. 1.-THE Black Dia-
mond this week will say: The market
this week is hanging in the balance.
The usual inactivity which predonin-
ates at the close of the year has abat-
ed. The wheels of commerce are be-
ginning to get in motion and trade in
all lines is taking on the usual aspects
of activity. There is no particular fea-
ture of the market this week which
predominates and most Of the coal
men are waiting to see what the
weather is going to do. This will have
a decided effect upon the market. The
national reciprocal demurrage conven-
ton, held in this city last week, was
of great Importance to all shipping
interests. At this writing 1t is not
known what results will be accom-
plished by the efforts OF the committee
Of seven which will hold meeting in
Washington for the purpose of pre-.
senting before the President full re.
port Of the sentiment Of the conyen.

State Of the Market.

The state of the market this week
shows continued scarcity Of nut an
thracite and some sales agents are re-
fusing TO accept orders for nut unless
they are accompanied by requisition
for other sizes. Egg anthracite is
weak. Carterville coal is in strong de-
mand, owing to the excessive car
shortage in central Illinois. Hooking
coal is just about equal to the demand.
1t is said that the supply at the head
of the lakes is getting very short, and
since the demand throughout Ohio and
the east Is much larger than usual 1t
is claimed that there will be very lit
tie Hooking available in the west, if
some of the eastern Goals were not
substituted for it. Third vein screen
ings have taken an advance in price
and there is strong demand for Goals
of this description. Srlint Goals con-
tinue in strong demand, which also
characterizes the condition of the mar
ket On smokeless mine run. In some
cases it is said the eastern demand is
great enough on this size Of coal to
bring $1.65 f. o. b. the mine.

The Car Supply.

The car supply throughout central
Illinois this week has not improved
The Hooking Valley operators are re-
ceiying about fifty per cent as many
cars as would be necessary to run the
mines at normal capacity. The situa-
ton throughout Kentucky and West
Virginia is very acute. At the Mil
waukee docks it is very difficult to get
sufficient cars to take care of urgent
orders. The forecast Of the market
this week depends upon the action of
the weather man. If the little spell of
cold weather which now predominates
prevails for some time the market will
take on good healthy tone and brisk
business will follow. Country yards
have little stock of coal and con-
sumers have not been placing many or
ders recently. 1t is no doubt true that
the railroad contracts will require
more coal up to the opening Of naviga-
ton than there is at the present time
at the head of the lakes. This would
seem 10 indicate that the all-rail bust
ness will continue active.

Knock and the world knocks with you. boost and you boost alone. When you roast good and loud you will find that the crowd has hammer as big as your own. Buy and the gang is with you; renig, and the game is off. for the lad with thirst will see you first If you don't proceed to cough Be rich and the gang will praise you be poor and they will pass you the ice; you're a warm young boy when you start to buy-you're a slob when you haven't the price. Be flush and your friends are many, go broke and they say Nta ta"; when your bank account burns you will get returns, and when it's out you'll get the ha ha. Be gay and the mob will cheer you; they'll shout while your wealth endures; show them a tear ful lamp and you'll see them all tramp, and it's back to the woods for you. There is always a bunch to boost you while at your money they glance, but you'll find them all gone in the cold gray dawn when the fringe shows up on your pants.-Unidenti6ed.

SOME of the local merchants com plain that it is little dull here just at present. Quite likely it is true, but if all the mail order house catalogues in town were burned, and Williams money that is sent each month to the Chicago mail order houses was kept here at home where it buys just as much, there would be little reason to complain of slow business. Of all the blood suckers that drain the ready money out of community the mail order houses take the belt. The pretty pictures and the apparently low prices shown in the catalogues are snare and delusion for there are very few prices in these cata- logues that are not met on the same class of merchandise by our merchants right here in Williams, when the transportation charges are considered.

THE newspaper is for everybody and hence must publish something for everybody. If you see some thing which is of little interest to you, remember that there are others and the entire paper is not printed especially for you. The very thing that is dull and uninteresting to you may be the one thing in the paper for some other readers. There are whole pages in the daily papers that are of no interest to us, but they are to others. A paper that contained nothing but such matters as would interest any one or another of us would have 8 limited number of readers. There are many people of many minds.
