EDUCATION The NEGRO NEEDS.

Judge Taft takts practically the
same view OF the kind OF education
the negro needs that Gov. Smith does.
SAYS The Savannah News. In a talk
with clcpgymcn az Augusta on Tues
day h. said: What they.S the ne
groes. need to be taught Is the pri-
mary education and the industrial ed
ucation % make them better workers,
better skilled laborcrs and better
farmers than they are today Those
Of them who are % be teachers and
preachers should OF course be fitted
for those callings. but the education
that the vast majority OF them re-
qulre Is the kind that would make
them more capable in the various oc-
equations In which they find employ
ment. Il Is a common statement OF
those who employ negro labor, wheth-
or In the house. In the field or along
the wharves and I'm business places.
that they are steadily deteriorating.
They are not as well fitted for the
duties required Of them as they were
a few years ago and they are less
inclined to work steadily
There was a letter published a day OF
two ago In one Of the Northern papers,
written by a Northern man visiting a
Louisiana sugar plantation. respect
ing labor conditions on the plantation.
The plantation was being operated by
Northern men. The tenor Of the let
ter was that the negro was much
preferred as a laboreT. but that he
was becoming so trihing that the
plantation management would event
ually be compelled TO get rid Of him.
He Is paid about double the wages he
was ten years ago and he works only
about half as many days a week. In
other words. he works just enough to
keep himself I'm food and clothes. He
doesn't seem to care TO accumulate
anything. His idleness leads 20 dis
sipation of one kind and another.
and hence he is deteriorating physi-
cally, as well as morally. The high
wages that came with the country's
prosperity have injured him. Instead
of working steadily and providing him
self with a good home and comfort
able surroundings he squanders what
he earns and doesn't more than half
utilize his earning power.
Il is evident therefore that there is
something wrong with the education
Of the negro. Speaking generally. the
kind Of learning h gets does him
more harm than good. II may be
that the preachers and school teachers
OF the negro race are partly RESPONSE
BILE for this condition of things. II
they are they ought 20 make a change
in their teaching az once. II TIE ne
grOes are 20 amount 20 anything they
must be taught 10 live clean lives and
20 be thrifty. Instead OF much they
are taught in their schools they
should De given instruction that would
heln them 20 be better and more de-
sirable workers I'm whatever field OF
endeavor they seek a livelihood. The
white people are almost, II not quite,
as much interested In this matter as
the negroes are. The negroes, being
the servants, laborers. tenant farm
ers and having places in the trades
must be competent and reliable II
their services are to be- valuable and
they are % be desirable citizens. II
Is the duty therefore of the white
people 10 see 20 IL that they get the
right sort Of education.

Northern to Chamberlain begins
floating in the air. 1t was rumored
quite persistently a few years since
that a deal had been consumated be-
tween the Milwaukee and Great
Northern whereby the bridge at Ca
coma was to be built in common by
the two lines. There would be little
conflict between the lines as the Great
Northern would go to the Southwest
from Oacoma to Denver and would
not tap the M~ilwaukee's territory at
any point. Then as the Milwaukee
does not cross the Missouri at any
point south of Oacoma the Great
Northern would place her in connect
ion with the vast territory to the
south and west. The Argus-Leader
has 4 strong conviction that the next
two years will see Oacoma taking the
position to which she has long been
devoted among railroad towns. Rail-
roads are constructed and operated
with geometrical precision and it is
about our time to get our part of the
benefits. Watch the developments.

why DOES WOOD DECAY
Opinion of Experts of How to Prevent
the Bacteria From Destroying
the Life of Wood.

Washington, March 26.-Piles
driven by the hut jewellers of the
Baltic centuries ago are as sound to-
day as when first placed. The wood
Ell collins in which the Egyptians
buried their dead are still preserved
in perfect condition after thousands
of years of service.
The longevity of timber under
these two extremes of climate and
moisture conditions has naturally
made people ask, What causes wood
decay? The answer is, fungi and bac-
terra, low forms Of plant life which
live in the wood and draw their
nourishment from it. The little or
ganisms are SO little that a micro
scope is required to see them, yet
their work results in the destruction
of billions of feet of timber each
year and the railroad corporation
with its cross tie bill running up in
to seven figures and the farmer who
spends hundreds of dollars a year
for fence posts are alike drawing
upon the knowledge of experts in all
parts of the world in efforts to learn
the most economical and most sat-
isfactory method of preserving wood
against the inroads of decay. In
studying the means of preventing de-
cay wood-preserving experts have
learned many things about the OBJ
noxious fungi which sap the life of
timber.
The small organisms can grow
either in light or in total darkness;
but all Of them require requisite
amounts of air, food, moisture and
heat. If IL or more of these es-
sential requirements is lacking, they
cannot live, and the decay of timber
will not take place. Wood constantly
submerged in water never rots,
simply because there is an INSULT
cient supply of air. This condition
accounts for the soundness of the
old Baltic piles. On the other hand,
if wood can be kept air dry it will
not decay because there will then be
too little moisture. The timber used
by the Egyptians will last indefinite
ly so long as it is bone dry.

There are a great many cases. how

There are a great many cases, how
submerged in water, or in an abso-
lutte air-dry condition. In fact, a
large percentage of the timber which
is used is exposed to the weather,
and it is subjected to decay simply
because it c%ontaines enough air and
enough water for the decomposing
organisms to get a foothold. Decay
is most serious where the atmos-
phere is warm and damp, because
these conditions are most favorable
for its development. In the coal
mines Of Pennsylvania timber decays
in two or three years because the
temperature is warm and constant
and the air is damp. And in the South
the warm, humid atmosphere often
causes the timber to rapidly decom-
pose.
Decay may be prevented by two
general methods, by treating the
wood with a~ntiseptics, thus poisoning
the food supply of the organisms
which cause decay and by treating it
with oils which render it waterproof.
A combination of these two methods
is most commonly used, as when
wood is treated with creosote which
fills up the pores in the timber and
keeps out water and is also a power
full antiseptic
The United States government con-
siders the Investigations of the pre-
sentative treatment of timber of such
Importance that the business of one
branch of a bureau in the Depart
ment of Agriculture-the "Ofice of
Wood Preservation" in the Forest
Service at Washington, is given over
entirely to the work of experiments
in cooperation with railroad com
panies and individuals in prolonging
the life of railroad ties, mine props,
bridge timbers, fence posts and trans
mission poles. Advice and practical
assistance is furnished all who re-
quest this advice of the Forester.
The lengthening of life of timber
means the saving of thousands of dol
lars annually through doing away
with the heavy expense of labor and
cost of material for renewals.

Primary Law Features.

Spokane, Wash, March 29.-One
OF the new features of the direct pri-
mary election law, enacted by the
last legislature of Washington and
just approved by Marion e Hay. act
ing governor, is that at registration
time every elector will be obliged to
declare his party and he must vote
for it's candidates at the primaries.
The first test of this will be at the
municipal primaries in Spokane on
April 6. There are nine candidates
as successors to Mayor G.. Herbert
Moore, who declined the nomination
for reelection to devote his time to
his private business, also more than
40 candidates for the five seats to be
vacated in the city council. The
election will take place May 4. Anoth-
er provision of the amended law re-
lates to the order of printing names
on the official ballot. This provides
that a system of rotation will be
used, sc that early registered can
didates will not have the advantage.
The ballot will be mixed and distri-
buted in the various precincts. The
purpose of the last amendment is to
prevent the r~e-occurence of the
scramble last fall for position on the
ticket.
