HAS BEEN TRIED.

singular manifestation OF the
race question, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch editorially, is presented by
the joint efforts Of the Macon Tele-
graph and the Washington Post.
These papers point out instances of
the successful practice OF the profess
sions by. colored men IN the north.
Cases are told Of q Negro school
principal. at Cambridge, Mass, and, a
colored doctor attending white pa
tients in. Brazil, Ind. Increases of
so to 70 per cent in the number OF
colored men in the professions IN
northern states are cite. Wherefore
the two papers seem to unite in urg-
ing what the Post calls the flna.
settlement Of the so-called race prob.
lem-the exodus from the south to
north of blacks, and from north to
south of whites"
This representation of a solution
evokes two, comments. One is with
reference to that long-standing as
sertion Of southern journals against
the presentation of northern opinions
cn the race question. 1t was that
the north only cares for Negroes at
the south, and does not treat Ne
groes at the north as we'll as the
south does. Two leading opponents
of the southern view now present sta
t1stical REPUTATION Of that stock re-
tort.
The other is to summon the light
OF experience on tho recommended
exodus. 1t SO happens that one OF tho
cases in point was given exactly that
title. The color line several years
ago was being vigorously imposed
by White Leagues at the south AMI
several states in the north-Kansas
partlcularly-were in need of agri-
cultural labor 1t was proposed to
aid southern laborers to come north
on guarantee OF employment. Did
the south welcome that movement?
On the contrary, the agents of the
exodus were driven out OF the south
err , states by mobs. AS to the re-
moVal of whites to the south, a good
many northerners tried that some
forty years ago and found that thew
could stay there only on the surren-
der of the liberty to express their
political convictions.
1t is certainly worth while, in the
light of history, for opponents of
southern opinion to season their dis
cussions Of the race problem with q
little memory and common sense.

OLD LONDON STONE
Visitors Attracted to Relic of
Homer's Days.
Legend Around Piece Of Masonry Says
British Capital Will Last as
Long as Rock Is
Preserved.

London.-Visitors to the worlds me-
tropolis usually take great interest
in a curious piece of stone, let into the
side of a wall in Cannon street, just
around the corner from the Bank Of
England. 1t is an unpretentious NOR
sci, and above it is the brief legend,
London Stone" The two words sig
nlfy a great deal. In the first place,
this is the oldest piece of famous ma
sorry in England, if not in Europe.
AS for its ancient history, it is said
to have figured in the Trojan war, for
the exact date of which kindly refer
to Mr.. Homer, who has written extern
sively on the subject.
Carefully screened behind an iron
grating fixed to the south wall of St.
SWithin's church is the b%lackened and
supposed to date back to the very
foundation of London, but to act as its
palladium, or safeguard.
Tradition declares that the stone
was brought from Troy by Brutus, and
laid by his W hand as the altar
stone OF the Temple to Diana.
SO long as the stone of Brutus Is
safe, SO long will London flourish"
says the legend.
Possibly it has been largely owing
to this superstitious belief that the
stone has been SO jealousy guarded
through the centuries.
Many and various have been the
suppositions put forward as to the
origin and use of this landmark, but
the one now most generally accepted
is that it was the old Roman mil
larium," or milestone, from which, like
the one in the Forum at Rome, all dis
tances were measured.
Waiting street, Of which Cannon
street is a continuation, is supposed
to have been the principal street Of
Roman London, and, according to Matt
land, the historian, the stone "a
placed at the conjunction of the mill
tary roads.
Stow, the ancient London historian,
states that in his day the stone was
on the south side of The street. 1T
was fixed in the ground very deep,
fastened with bars of iron, and other
wise SO strongly set that if carts do
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1909-12-17

run against it through negligence, the
wheels are broken and the stone itself
unshaken."
Some of the public uses to which it
was put were as follows: % A mark
in the middle of the city within the
wall; (2) a place for the payment by
debtors to their creditors at appointed
days and times afterwards made at
the font in st. Paul's and then at the
Royal Exchange); 60 a testimony to
the city's devotion to Christ, the
stone typifying it's divine foundation.
1t "a likely that upon this stone
all public proclamations were made to
the people; in support of which Stow
quotes the fact that the rebel Jack
Cade, who said he was Mortimer, earl
of March, rod up to London Stone,
upon which he struck his sword, say
ing: Now is Mortimer lord of this
city"
This was probably in accordance
with the tradition that the old Brit
ish kings DOL their oaths of accession
upon London Stone, and until they did
SO were only kings presumptive.
Before the fire of London the stone
was much worn away. and, as it we're,
but a stump remaining" 1t was then
cased over by Sir Christopher Wren,
builder of st. Paul's cathedral, with
a new stone, handsomely wrought,
and followed SO as to contain the an
cient relic.
In 1742 the stone vas removed to
the north side nea the curb, on &C.
count of it's proving an obstruction in
it's old position. Fifty-six years later,
when St. Swithin's church was about
to be repaired, the old landmark wa
doomed to destruction, but happily.
owing to the intervention Of Thomas
Maiden, a printer of Sherbourne lane.
the parish officers consented to place
it against the south wall of the church.
An inscription let in the wall re-
cords that "for more careful protection
and transmission to future ages, it was
better secured by the church wardens
in the year 1869"
The harmful effects of the London
atmosphere, greatly increased in re-
cent years, have left their mark upon
the old stone; but there is still enough
of it left to insure London for many
years from entering on the downward
path, which is predicted to be its fate
when the stone of Brutus shall dis
appear"
