KELLY MILLER ON CRIMES.
Excess Among Both Races North Due
to Greater City Population.

Professor Kelly Miller Of Howard
university says that the increase In
Negro crime has not been an actual
one, but rather that Negro crime has
not decreased as much as white crime
and SO its share Of the whole has In
creased. While the Negroes constitute
but II per cent Of the population Of the
country. they furnish 80 per cent Of
its convicted criminals This prepon-
derance of crime is not due to any race
trait, but grows out Of conditions.
Evidence that not race but condition
produces crime is furnished by the
fact that, while in the north the Ne
groes commit more crimes than they
do In the south, whites In the north
commit an even greater excess Of con-
victed crime over southern whites, the
evident reason for the preponderance
Of crime among both races in the north
being the greater proportion Of city
people there.

Afro American. and Temperance.

We are pleased to note the active
interest which our people are taking
in the temperance movement through
out the United States. If few more
pastors Of Afro-American churches
would lend their influence to the
cause, backed up by the public school
teachers, Sunday school teachers and
our business and professional men, an
enective blow could be hurled against
saloon keepers which would make the
liquor traffic quake for fear. This can
be done. A million Afro Americans
could easily be got into line for an
active temperance campaign If prop
erly organized under good leadership.

PEDDLER in MAYORS COURT.

One day last week transient ped
der was mixed up in trouble. He
was hailed before the mayors court
and ordered out of town, having re-
fused to come across with license.
The town dads have clause in the
city code demanding of peddlers a
license for selling goods. This par
ticular party came to town several
weeks ago from Cedar Rapids, and
sold tea and spices, giving as prem
uim dish pan with every order
amounting to so much. The marshal
had been notified of the fellows
trade and ordered to inform him that
a license was necessary before he
could continue his business. 1t was
an exceedingly hot place suggested
to the marshal that he might go when
he ordered tie chap to shell out the
necessary fine. The city clerk took
a hand in the matter and finally the
mayer. Out of town was the peddler
sent on a noon passenger Wednesday,
andssliis return will certainly mean
trouble, and lots more of it.

LoRlMsR ELECTED SENATOR BY
DEMOCRATIC VOTES.

SO democrats and So republicans
Joined forces and smashed the dead
lock in the Illinois legislature last
Wednesday and elected Congressman
Lorimer United States senator.
The refusal of the Illinois legisla-
ture to re-elect Senator Hopkins is
victory for the republican insur-
gents, and notice to the Aldrich
cortie of what may happen to their
toga the next time the people get a
whack at it.
In his speech, thanking the men,
beers of the legislature for the honor
conferred upon him, Mr.. Lorimer said
that he believed that the time had
come for a downward revision of the
tariff. That will be cheering news
for the insurgent republican senator's.
From all we can learn the new
senator from Illinois will work agree
ably with the senators from Iowa.

WATERLOO VOTES TO PURCHASE
IT'S WATER WORKS.

The people of Waterloo are to be
congratulated upon the result of their
election, which will, in the near fu-
ture, give their municipal authorities
absolute control of their local water
works.
Manchester has for more than a
score of years owned and operated its
own system of water Works, which
has supplied the people of this place
with pure water. Diseases such as
Typhoid Fever are practically un-
known in Manchester. The health of
a city depends so largely upon its
water supply, that it is surprising
that any city, in this day and age,
would entrust such an important mat
ter to private, mercenary manage
ment.
Much will depend upon the men
who are appointed to manage the
Waterloo water works. The very best
men in the city should be induced to
act, for every time public utility
is mismanaged by rublic officials, i
furnishes an argument against mu
nicipal ownership, and helps to de
prive other cities of the benefits o
such ownership.
The health of a community SHOULD
not be weighed in the scales. or com
pared with dollars and cents.
The Times-Tribune has rendere,
its city service in connection will
this long drawn out struggle, whicl
merits a special mention. We fee
like patting our neighbor on the bac1
and saying to it, keep ON doing.

HARVESTING THE VOLCANOES.

Who will be first in Harvesting the
volcanoes? This is question which
is being seriously considered. There
are mighty sources. of power in these
great burning mountains, and the
genius of this age should prove equal
to the task of utilizing it. Might not
the streams of water which course
down the sides Of these mountains,
be turned into tunnels and conducted
into the volcanoes where it would
be changed into steam, and might not
this steam be transmitted through
other tunnels, or pipes to great en-
gines which would furnish power as
ponderous as its source?

THE NEW JokEesook.

While the new tariff bill is not
yet complete, the work has progress
ed sufficiently far to warrant the
fulfillment of the prediction that it
would be the biggest joke of the sea
son. Hereafter when anyone talks
about having the tariff revised by
its friends, everyone will know that
such person is joking. Were it not
for the serious results certain to walk
hand in hand with this high tariff
measure it might be bound all by it
