That there are already too many Negores IN the
South for both the Souths good as well as the Negroes
good is so very apparent to those who have given the
subject any thought or consideration, that ne VINO
runs may read and for that reason thoughtful persons
Wondered with some degree of establishment over the
Invitation of Scott Bond, of Madison Arkansas, be-
fore the Negro Business Mems League in New York
few DAYS ago. The invitation is as follows
"Come out with us. you niggers, where the air is
froo and God is good and where, if there is any
o1mption in you you can have more IN year IMAM
Won ever earned in all your life before If you have
not dollar. I'll give you farm and chance. Come
out to Arkansas
Mr. Bond is reputed to be worth somthing like $780,
oO and then some but that no excuse for the
Noroos in all quarters of the United States to make
mod rush to the South where there is already con-
oestion of them and where the issues and racial differ
between the whites and the blacks are so sharp
w drawn that fatal clashes occur almost every day.
IF Mr. Bond had have invited and also encourage
ed the Negroes of the United States and wherever
thew are to cast down their buckets where they are
ard do as he had and is doing accumulate property
10 would have shown more common sense. But if the
ooroas continue to congregate in the South the cruel
race war of bloody extermlnaon such as occurred IN
Texas few days ago, will go steadily on, but II on
the other hand they scatter to the four corners OF the
country and see to it that there is nota township IN
anv county in any state of the Union in which there is
not Negro in it. the alleged Negro race problem of
this country will be thing of the past The
Nooro will never see the time when half of this repub
lie will he black and the other half white or in any
other proportion along the line of separation and
he must prepare himself to become part and parcel
Of the white mans government or exterminate the
white man, or be exterminated, or flee the country.

degree of energy is doing just as WE'LL if not better,
as the Negro of the South Scott Bond and his plan

a greater commercial value than the Negroes of Ark

Even the closest friends of Claude c. Ramsey's op-
ponent are not near so certain of walk for their
candidate as they weeks ago, and they now
admit that Ramsey has fighting chance The bust
ness men of the district beginning to take lively
interest in the contest and busyng themselves in
Ramsey's interest. AS said a few days ago by
Representative Frank H. Rennick, Claude Ramsey was
one of the most popular in the King county dele
cation the session he in the legislature, and that
he likewise very popular with the delegation from
King was shown by the entire number giving him
banquet few days before he left for a six months
tour of the country accompanied by his wife At that
banquet the various members, who had served in the
legislature with him, We'd with each other to show
him the greatest amount of attention. Speaker j. A.
Faconer of Everett was likewise invited to be pres
ent and he added his appreciation of the good commit
tee as we'll floor work Ramsey did in the legislature
Should the voters of the thirty fourth senatorial dis
trict him for senator they would send man to
the legislature that would at once take rank among
the strong and able workers of that body and the
whole county as well the state could point with
pride to his work. He would give the business men
valuable representation and the working would
get equally fair treatment at his hands,

SAVING AT BUNG AND LOS
ING AT SPIGOT.

An old adage warns Us against say
ing at the spigot and losing at the
bung-7 If we could reverse It, II would
fit our water supply problem to the
proverbiaI 7, for if we spent 100000
or S5,OOO,OOO for a new conduit or for
tapping brand new source of supply
before we installed meters for every
public and private service we would
literally be saving at the bung and los
ing at the spigot.
All this Is aproPos the annual re
port OF Capt w T Hannum, the army
engineer officer IN charge of the Dis
tTict's water supply. Captain Han
mum takes the very logical position
that If all services IN the District are
furnished on a meter basis the reduc-
ton in waste viii be sufficient to of
set the increased annual consumption
OF water resulting from increased
population, and VIII obviate the neces-
sity OF finding an additional supply
Unless meters are installed, however,
Captain Hannum believes It viii be
necessary 10 increase our supply.
At pre- sent there are nearly $1,000
unmetered services and nearly 1900
metered services IN the District. To
install meters for all services would
require an expenditure Of about
100000. The capacity Of the con
dUit from J-eat Fails Is 10000 900
gallons per day. The average daily
consumption OF water IS 100000
gallons The reduction IN waste which
would be effected If all services were
metered would make II certain that
our present facilities for bringing
water into the city would be sufficient
for many years IF the waste con
tinues, 1t Is the opinion of the en-
giueer that our facilities VIII soon be
insufficient
The issue resolves itself into a re-
markedly simple proposition Sh-ll
we spend 100000 OF s5,OOO,OOO for
a new conduit or shall we spend $780,
I 600 for meters2 It VIII be noted that
the interest on the investment IN a
new conduit would pay for the meters

NFANTTLE PARALYSIS NEEDS
CLOSE WATCHING.

Of the MALAY.
The physicians tell Us we now have
an epidemic OF iufantile paralysis IN
Washington. Some Of them say it IS
q communicable disease. and the Health
Officer recommends that patients SUI
fering from 1t be isolated.

VIII surely prompt one to employ a
good doctor There Is a possibility
that the disease can be cured. as in
late years medical scientists have dis
covered that applications of electricity
and massage, If begun early, may not
only stop the paralysis, but restore the
affected part TO normal condition. Con
sideTation for others, IN the home and
outside OF II, makes It necessary TO
observe every precaUtion against the
possible spread Of the disease.
At this time, an ounce o. prevention
Is worth many, many pounds Of cure.

mittee, who was responsible for the
increased cotton duties Mr.. Payne
did not like the looks Of the new spe-
cific duties which were put up TO him
and would have nothing to do with
them, except that when the bin came
back to the House from the Senate
he stood for them. In the debates, 1t
was charged that a movement was al
ready under way to form a huge com
bination to take advantage OF the new
and higher rates of duty.
In the light Of the announcement
from New York, it Is worth while to
reflect on the course of the cotton
schedule in the special session Of Con
gress last summer. Certainly, the whole
proceeding affords food for profound
reflection.
It viii be surprising If the announce
ment of the formation of this new
combination, with its huge capital
and wide ramifcatiOns, does not have
It's effect on the Congressional cam
paign. In view CT what has happened,
1t Is not easy TO see Just how the men
responsible for the new tariff law are

BIG COTTON MILLS MERGER
IS FORMED.

The expected has happened. Dis
patches from New York tell OF the
formation of a huge merger Of cotton
mills and cotton interests. The Inter
national Cotton Mills Corporation has
been formed under the laws of New
York, with a capitalization Of $4,000
900. 1t plans TO acquire twenty-five
plants and also to acquire selling
companies and plantations. New York,
New England. and Maryland MN own
ers, bankers, and capitalists are IN
terested and s Davies Warfeld. of
Baltimore, Is chairman Of the board
Of the new combination.
It IS said the products of the com
bined mills VIII represent hundreds
OF varieties of cotton fabrics. While
It Is apparent that the merger does
not include al of'the large cotton mills
In the country, It Is also clear that It
goes a long way In the direction Of
the consolidation OF the business.
It does not need any extended ex-
PLANTATION or exposition TO make plain
what the formation OF this huge con
solidation means. il should not be
a surprise to anybody 1t simply
confirms what was widely alleged when
the new tariff measure was beng fran
ed-that the revised cotton schedule
was going TO. afford shelter to monop-
oily or movements In the direction Of
monopoly OF the cotton manufactur-
ing business. One Of the chief fune-
tons OF Senator Nelson Wilmarth AID
rich IN the making over of the tariff
schedule was TO force through Con-
gress the changed cotton duties pro
vided for In the Payne-Aldrich bill.

Means Committee, but Senator AID
