VALUE OF COOPERATION.

1t seems to be impossible to get
many people to understand the neces-
sity and value of cooperation. Some
people look upon it as a virtue not
to be despised, but having no econom-
ical value except so far as it relates
to the general public welfare. Other
men, often successful business men,
look upon it as a kind of public spirit
that it is we'll to foster, but see no
reason for doing anything more than
to encourage it by words and then
choke it with inaction. They think
that while the motive is laudable it
will not succeed in bringing results;
that no business proposition can sue
coed that does not appeal to selfish
motives. This theory has been and is
being disproved every day by the
reports of Commercial Clubs, Progress
sive Unions and Boards of Trades all
over the country. 1t is a proven fact
that in the building up of city and
the development of a country depends
almost entirely on cooperative effort
where the return on the investment is
wholly indirect, but of the same value
as if it had been direct. In these days
some men capitalize their brains and
put them in as an asset against other
al ~ a IN Ta 10 Of
this is Mr.. Hartman, who if he We're
to live a thousand years could not
have created the wealth he controls,
and he has brought about this great
control of capital, by enlisting the CO.
operation of men of wealth. These
men controlled railroads, just as a lot
of men control the lands of South Nj
sissippi. One man put in a railroad;
then another and finally several sys-
TENS were merged into the whole with
out investing an additional dollar, but
the indirect benefits from the cooper
alton made possible by the systematic
work of Mr.. Hartman, was suffi-
cient to revolutionize the Transports
ton business of the United States.
In this section that are a dozen
men who could make possible the de-
velopment of the whole of South Mis-
sissippi, with out the investment of an
additional dollar and without the sac
rifice of a single cent. On the other
hand by cooperation they could in.
crease their own wealth and that OF
the section more than fourfold, and Of
fer opportunities to thousands of peo
pie and make a thousand blades OF
grass grow, where there is not one
now. 1t may take five or ten years
to show some men the value of Co
operation but in the meantime they
will get the object lesson which will
convince them.

1t is estimated that the Texas and
New Orleans Railway, will handle coo
cars of tomatoes from the vicinity
of Jacksonville, Texas. The country
in that vicinity was once as heavily
timbered as the lands of South Mis-
sissippi. If the cash that will be re-
ceived for these tomatoes should be
turned loose in Hattiesburg, our bus
mess men would forget that there ever
had been a panic.

that those units assembled in conven-

with Roosevelt, long before
he devised his scheme to deport
the blacks to Africa, the Negro
ques, ion always has been a para
mount issue. He told me that
the criticisms he received from
all parts of the country when he
entertained Booker T. Washing
ton caused him to come to the
belief that it would be utterly
impossible to educate the Negro
to standard of social equality
with the white race, and that he
saw clearly that no inferior race
could exist for any length of time
and prosper in a Republican coun-
try. Roosevelt said the attitude
the South assumed toward the
Charleston postmastership con-
frmed his belief, and that it was
this, based on other facts he had
gathered, some of which gave
him, that led him to form his
plan to see if the only logical
solution of the Negro question
deportation could not be brought
about successfully. Through
Federal officers scattered
throughout the South he ascer-
tanned that a condition existed
that was leading to one certain
end, and that would be the ex-
tinction of the Negro element by
a method other than race decay.
His data correctly informed him
that the Negro as laborer in the
South was fast being replaced
by the Negro as thief, and that
even such mental positions as
walters, street cleaners and day
laborers on public improvements
all were being filled with whites,
while the Negro, having no en-
ployment left open to him, was
gradually becoming more and
more accustomed to support him
self by thievery and to consider
himself at war with the whites.
The Seattle Republican. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1???-1915, 1909-11-19

All through his trips to the South
Roosevelt sought information
concerning the Negro question,
and the information he received,
I believe, is the basis for his ex-
pressing himself so freely and
asserting it was his belief that
the existence of the Negro in
North America had become a
question of the ability of the
South to continue to bear bur-
den that was becoming excessive.
"The police chiefs of every
Southern city will assert that the
Negro is the guilty thief in forty
nine cases out of every fifty.
The penitentiaries are full of Ne
groes, and the Southern cities
are clamoring for relief from Ne
gro ex-convicts from the convict
farms and prisons. The plan
outlined by Mr.. Roosevelt, and
which took him to Africa to COM
plete, contains a solution to
every vexatious question con-
nected with this problem. The
fact that the Negro now is a citi-
zen of the United States and is a
property owner, and all the diff
culties, legal and otherwise, en-
tailed in the execution of this
plan, all are solved in the expla-
nation of Roosevelt's intentions
to deport him, as disclosed by
his confdant. Theodore Roose-
welt relies on his popularity as
Napoleon did on his" asserted

through all his difficulties in his

relations to the Federal govern
ment as the Indians, and they
were elected from their lands

county and locality throughout
the South will open subscription
lists and that the money will
pour forth in abundance.
There is one more problem,
and Roosevelt seems to think he
can solve this also. And that is
the necessity of being able to
persuade the Negro to migrate.
State legislation Roosevelt knows
he can control, if its object is to
settle the Negro question; but byv
offering the Negroes peace and
safety, freedom from conditions
that are now humiliating, by Of
fering each farm with a bonus
with which to make a new start
and buy the tools of husbandry,
by acclaiming that he is the
friend of the Negro and always
has been, and that his solution
will improve them as a race and
as Individuality these means
Roosevelt hopes to overcome the
situation without compulsory leg
islation, unless it might be by a
remote time limit of, say, twenty
years. If he does not find con-
ditions over there as he expected,
as he has not announced publicly
his plans, he can withdraw grace
fully and no harm has been
done; but l feel sure he will do
his utmost to put the deal
through. 1t is the kind of an
undertaking he likes. F"
What is Roosevelt really doing
in Africa? Strong evinence is
now being brought to light which
afirms the rumor that he is there
to solve the Negro question. Did
Roosevelt, a man who has kept1
the world in a turmoil for seven
years, go out to Africa with
dreams equalling those of the
Corsican, expecting to reverse
the laws of ethnology and turn
the tide of migration back from
West to East? Did he expect to
succeed where Monroe had failed,
to combat the lust of European
nations for every inch of soil on
the Dark Continent? Did he ex-
pect to be able to accomplish
that which the sacrifice of mil
lion lives in the Civil War did
not? And if this has been his
real game, instead of lions and
tigers, will he burst from the
jungles of Africa next April, ex-
pecting with one hand to push
back the nations Of Europe, and
with the other to beckon to the
Ishmael tribe of North America
and point it the way to prom
ised land? What is Roosevelt
really doing in African Leslie's
Weekly.
