THE NEGRo's HANDICAP

The appeal which Tuskogee is again making for support and which was voiced by Mr. Booker T. Washington, Governor Hughes, Colonel Henry Waterson, and others in New York city a couple of weeks ago, is better understood now than it was a year or two ago. Negroes are not being edu- cated to the end that they may dis place white labor, but in order that they may overcome something of the tremendous odds which, even with the best of training, tiey have to fight against. This handicap of race does not leave them even with education.
 Within the past few years, it might almost be said months, a notable change has taken place in opiniCn con- corning negro industrial competition in the south. Ominous were the fears once entertained that before very many decades the negroes would swamp the whites. This opinion was not induced alone by the superlatives of such men as the ermilion-hued Mir. Dixon, who always dipped his pen in the reddest pot that he could find. A year or two ago Mr. Dixon predict ed that within fifty years the negroes would number 60, 900, 900 and would force social equality for themselves. Mir. Thomas Nelson Page, in more quiet mood, had similar opinions, and a score of years Professor E. w. Gill liam satisfied himself that by 1880 there would be nearly two hundred million negroes in the southern states. Now different opinion is maintained by the statisticians, led by Professor Walter F. Wilcox, whose statistical work for the government is well known. Professor Wilcox some time ago declared that .'25, 900, 900 is the maximum limit of the probable negro population in the country century hence.' The negroes constituted 3S per cent of the southern population in lS40, but in 1900 they had fallen to 32. I per cent and Professor Wilcox estimated that by 2000 they are not likely to be more than 17.6 per cent.
 Further than this, the difficulty which the negro experiences in secur- ing positions in manufacturing and other industries in the south at the present time is constantly becoming more evident. In some respects the facts are almost startling, so low is the proportion of negroes to white men in many of these employments. The immigrants are constantly taking the places that the negroes might fill, and so serious is the result that some read in this fact-let alone the fact of relative race diminution-the doom of the negro. The argument for indus trial education of the negro has be- come in proportion stronger.

SENTIMENT IN THE HOUSE

The Washington Post has just com pleted poll of the members of the house of representatives it was able to reach at the capitol in regard to the candidates for president, and the re- suits it announces shows Secretary Taft to lead by a big margin. In all lS6 of the 22l Republican members expr essed their opinions for the bene- it of the Posts canvassers, and the poll shows Taft to be favored by nine- ty-three of their number; Cannon. thirtynine; Knox, twenty-six; Fair banks, thirteen; Hughes, eight La Toilette. five, and Foraker, one. Eff teen members were non-committal and twenty were absent. Ninetytwo 0 were against Taft, or, more properly speaking, expressed themselves for other men as their first choice.
 It is deduced from the showing in this poll that If each state should vote in the national convention as the pref erence of majority of its representa- tives in the house indicated and if there are counted for Taft the states eliminated from the poll because of their sending Democratic representa- tives to congress Taft would have 55S votes on the first ballot, or more than enough to nominate. Obviously it does not follow that Taft will. in fact, have that nun Der of votes, but still the showing of sentiment among the congressman by this poll is of much significance.
 The Taft strength in the house was generally distri ibuted among the states, but was mainly found in the west and far west. Only one member of the Ohio delegation expressed him self as opposed to Taft. Six members of the Minnesota delegation reported a large and vigorous Taft sentiment in that state, which IS the more nota- ble because of the fact that the La Toilette boomers are giving Minnesota much of their attention and because Senator La Toilette is very popular there. Five New York men favored Taft four Cannon: three Hughes and one Fairbanks. Eight were non-com- initial. The New England members as a whole showed much friendliness for Taft.
 The Post, it may be remarked, is an independent paper and has not partic- ularly adopted the Taft boom. The showing made by it's poll is not, how ever, exceptional. It reflects the re- suits generally obtained wherever sent iment is tested.

SPECIAL COKItEot UN DENCE (By J. J. Underwood)
 ashington. D. C.,


 January 25 1908.
 Having fully recovreed from their annual holiday, and, incidentally, hay Ing c4iup.eted number of their polit- ica trades and deals the members of Congress for the long term have de- cided to settle down to work and to do something for the people. At present the topic which is agitating them most IS the currency reform, and nearly every member of the house of representatives had bill to intro- duce aud something to say on the mat ter. From this muss of brain waves It is pi Ubable that something Of real beneii5 to the people will be evolved. However. everything in the legisla- ture is conducted in a very leisurely manner. There is no hurry. The large body moves very slowly, and it is not probable that one of the cur rency bills will become a law before March next.
 The senate is really the big show, but even there one sees a whole lot of grand-stand play. The newspaper men in the press galleries generally hang around the senate when that ponderous and magnificent body is in session, for there is liable to be sone- thing doing there at almost any time of the day or night. Whenever a visitor arrives in Washington, about the first thing he does is to get card admitting him to the senate, but be- yond the gallery play there is not much to see. All the real work is done in the committee rooms, and is usually cut and dried before aired be- fore the public. The men in the press galleries, and there are some pretty smart fellows amongst them, say that the real senate transacts its business in the room occupied by Senator Aldrich, and which bears the sign, Enhance Committee. 7"
 Of course, large number of the senators and congressman make speeches on the slightest provocation. This is done for the purpose of having their addresses printed in the Con- gressiona Record. Thousands upon thousands of these Congressional Rec ords are sent through the mails. The man who has made speech in Con-

tion the past season was about POO tons, marketed in Dawson, which sold at S60 ton. There was also about loo tons of native oats raised. This is cut green and used as fodder, and realized about s75 per ton.
 "The production of vegetables for the past year, taken from the figures furnished by the board of trade, is estimated as follows :-Lettuce and radishes of superior quality sufficient to amply supply the wants of the Ter ritory; cabbage and caulihower, 40 tons turnips, 40 tons: carrots,- 20 tons: beets, l5 tons: potatoes, 75 tons l; celery, 1,200 dozen.
 "The home production of turnips, carrots, beets and celery is sufficient to supply all the local demands, and importations have ceased. The vege- tables raised in the Kondike cannot be excelled, if equaled, anywhere else in the world in size and quantity. The IOfC6u SrONtu tuIOuSu lHG sum uiCt under the neversetting midnight sun allows no time for shrinkage or tough ening in any way. All vegetables are free from pith, and are unmolested by any form of insect life or any other annoyance known to farmers in many other parts of the world. Many of the Dawson gardners have stocked their cellars heavily, and will have turnips, potatoes. beets and celery for sale most of the winter Some have eS- tended greenhouses in which many vegetables are grown through the winter and early spring. Potatoes are grown most successfully in all parts of the Territory. They bring from , to cents per pound on the Dawson market. Experiments are being made gradually with hardy grains, and doubtless the Yukon in time will grow far more of the supplies that it an- nually consumes than it has yet ven- tured to produce. "

AGRICULTURE IN FAR NORTH
 Acting Commissioner Lithgow, of the Yukon Territory, in his official re- port has this to say of the agriculture al resources of that territory-of what has been accomplished nearly, if not quite, a thousand miles north of the latitude of Ketchikan:
 "This Territory has made wonderful strides in the past few years in agri- cultural productions. It was consider ed in 1898 that it would be imposs be to raise vegetables here, owing to the shortness Of the summer, but the ex- periments of the last few years have shown us that we can produce nearly all the vegetables that are grown in other parts of the Dominion. The farming so far is principally confined to the river bottoms, where the soll is richer than on the hillsides. Native hay is largely grown, and the produc-

THE DRAIN UPON THE FORESTS

THE DRAIN UPON THE FORESTS
 Since 1880 the sources of lumber supply have undergone remarkable changes. The first charge was in the regions from which the principal kinds of lumber were procured, and this was followed by the substitution of other kinds of wood in their places. Neither the centers of the lumber in- dustry nor the leading classes of woods are the same as they were twenty-five years ago. In 1880 nine States-Mich- lgan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, New York, Texas, Arkansas, Mississippi,
