Prof. VIM. [. Thomas of the Chi
cago University, said in a lecture
in Kent theatre, Chicago:
Grace prejudice will grow less
as race relationships become closer
and as we travel more. Already
whites and Japs marry. There is
no reason why intermarriage of
races should not continue along
these lines. The reason we marry
Japs is that they are on level
with us-in many ways, at least.
Their civilization and culture and
ours are much alike.
"The questions of the future are
not to be bound up in the tint of
the skin, but by the degree of de-
velopment Of the different races
and occupations. The difference
to be found in the fair Scandina-
VANS and the dark Italians are
duplicated in the case of whites
and blacks.
"What we call the white race is
the most mixed race of all. 1t has
Negro blood in it. The infusion of
Indian blood into Americans has
resulted in one Of the finest strains
possible.
"FThe signs Of race prejudice are
to be found in their extreme de-
gree in our attitude toward Ne
groes. But, disagreeable as some
of their traits are to us, our man
ners and features are even more
shocking to Negroes in Africa.
They despise white people because
our skins recall such things as
ghosts, death, diseases and white
mice. The time is coming when
we shall not be separated as we
now are by color

Serving free beer to the COM
munity should be sufficient prov
ocation for the authorities to re-
woke the license of any saloon.
Nine enths of the excessive drink
ing in the United States is attribu-
table to the treat habit among the
frequenters of saloons and if the
saloons begin such then the coun-
try is in real danger. It is the
rarest instances Of a man or wo
man standing at a saloon bar all
alone and drinking until he or she
is beastly intoxicated, but they
will do so if they have others to
drink with and spend hours treat
ing each other. If there was an
iron clad anti-treat law put on the
statute books in every state in the
United States the excessive drink
habit would be more than half
controlled. There has always
been more or less drinking of malt,
vinous and distilled liquors and
we believe there always will be,
but it is the latter day open saloon
with its treat habit proclivities
that is responsible for the excess
i've drinking among all classes.

NORTH POLE FOUND.

The report that DR.. F. A. Cook
had actually stood over the north
pole caused wide spread comment
throughout Christendom and the
further report from DR.. Cook that
the pole was nothing more nor less
than an imaginary spot with no
wonders surrounding it has caus-
ed just as much comment as the
actual finding Of the pole. For
centuries theories Of all kinds
have been advanced as to the
country, the climate and the gen
eral topography about the north
pole and when it is discovered that
it is the same barren ice field that
exists many degrees from it then
it is a sore disappointment to the
thousand and one theorists who
have argued differently and they
will believe the real truth with re-
luctancy Many books have been
written and published advancing
the theory that, the north pole was
a great opening, which entered an
other world similar to ours, which
was one of perpetual pleasant
sunshine. The theory that about
the north pole perpetual spring
reigned had been advocated for
many years. If science has really
gained anything by the finding of
the north pole it is more than the
ordinary man can see at the pres
ent writing, but time may develop
something useful in finding this
much sought spot.

THAT SETTLED IT.

The commissioners in lunacy
were nonplused. The man OH
whose mental condition the courts
had appointed them to pass seemed
perfectly sane in spite of all testi-
mony to the contrary. His every
action, his every remark was rat

up in despair when matters took
an unexpected turn. ooh, doctor,
permit me to return the umbrella |
borrowed from you last week, "
said the patient.
And then, at the thought of
earning their fees with no qualms
of conscience, the learned men de-
cided that any one who would vol
unfairly return a borrowed UNI
brella should be placed under re-
straint

The tenth annual session OF the
National Negro Business Men S
League has passed into history.
The session was held in Louisville,
KY, and was said to be the largest
ever held since it began in Boston
in 1900. There were more than
500 delegates from all parts of the
United States present. Interest
ing reports were made from all
parts in regard to the uplift of the
colored people. The rapid pro-
gress of the Negro is thought to be
largely due to the labors. OF the
500 local leagues. Booker T.
Washington reviewed the rise and
progress Of the Negro from the
passage Of emancipation. In forty
years the Negro has gotten posses
sion Of land equal in acreage to all
of New England. To the credit of
the Negro is placed 100000 homes,
100000 farms, nearly 200 drug
stores, $4,000 churches, hundreds
of undertakers and over 10000
dry goods stores, groceries and in
dustrial enterprises. The welcome
addresses were delivered by Gov.
A. E. Wilson, Mayor James L.
Grinstead, and others.

The South is clamorous for more
labor, having succeeded by ruin
GUS policy driving away much of
that she had, as well as having de-
stroyed all hopes of accessions
from abroad. Raymond, the we'll
known correspondent, says:
"The southern people want Ia
Dor more than anything else in the
world. They need large addition
to the labor supply furnished by
Negroes, and unless they secure it
from alien immigrants they cannot
possibly hope to develop their
great natural resources as they are
capable of being developed.
Few, if any, of the southern
legislatures took the warning in
good faith They continued to pre-
sent seductive claims for foreign
settlement, but they let their
wicked laws remain on the statue
books. Prosecutions in the federal
courts failed Of their purposes be-
cause Of local prejudice.
ct is a most significant thing
that the foreigners are once more
abandoning the South almost en-
tirely, and they are doing that, of
course, because Of reports Of offic-
ials of Italy, Austria-Hungary,
Russia and other European coun-
tries who found it necessary to adj
wise their home governments that
any Of their citizens who went into
the South under any conditions
were liable to Imprisonment from
a mere money debt, or owing to
broken promise contract with
planter -
It is a we'll known fact that i'm
mediately after the adoption of
the 18th amendment, the Southern
states established state of peon-
age far worse than slavery; which
was shown by Jas. G.. Blaine, Carl
Schurz and other statesmen, which
brought about the necessity of the
18th amendment. The institution
still exists in the South in a modi-
fed form, the most noted victims
being white foreigners. The home
governments Of these white for
eigners are giving the matter ser
ious attention.
Gas we SOW so shall we reap. "
The South has sown badly and is
Ireaping accordingly.
