Death and the Race Problem,

According 70 the seventh annual re.
port of the government OF statistics
of mortality for the year 1906 for cities
containing as much as 10 per CEN or
over of coloreu people. the death rate
of the white population was 17.2 pei

Isl. or mere thar 60 per cent higher.
In the state Of Maryland the mortal.
ity rate for the colored was 321.G as

Here is a statistical study. Ever

this increase has been made the basis
of a claim that determination by dis
easc would ultimately solve the race

BY CL.ICaN N. SMITH
suM.sER PLEASURES.

The picnic season is in bloom,
nj to the woods inviting
Lunch burdened pleasure seekers go
In scared of sport exciting.
The hampers. filled with pies and
things
TOO numerous to mention,
Are spread upon the festive sward
And set the best attention.
Far from the city's noise and din,
Far frc,l the lines Of travel,
They rest beneath the sylvan shade
And let t,.eir cares unravel.
The sane bugs loiter on their necks
Or daily with their t~resses,
And many wiggly. crawling things
Climb up on brand new dresses.
Nc matter though the food is cold.
The coffee spoiled in making,
The butter running like a deer
And bugs from tree limbs shaking.
Such tribes do not mar the day,
Because what hopeful sinner
Expects or looks for very much
From any picnic dinner?
Then let them revel in the woods.
Sweet rural beauties scanning,
And give meanwhile their naughty
necks
A swell and lovely tanning.
Cnmindful Of the small mishaps.
To kick on them We're treason,
Because whatever is is right
All through The picnic season.
