NEGRO SOLDIERS AGAIN

AS might have been anticipated, the
encampment of negro troops in or near
southern cities has been provocative of
trouble, and trouble that would have
needed but little to have burst into a
race riot of serious proportions. Such
situation arose but few days since
at San Antonio, Txeas, and the War
Department, and particularly the
President, deserve high commentator
for the tactful and efficient manner in
which the affair was handled.
It seems that among the troops in
the camp of manouvers near San An.
tonic, was the Ninth U. s. Cavalry,
one of the four regiments of negro
troops that an act of Congress of 1872
requires TO be in the army. The negro
troopers would go into the town on
passes, and would proceed to make
themselves extremely Objectionable.
In a half-drunken state they would
board the street cars, tear down the
signs designs; i G the seats for white
and colored Passengers and defy the
conductors and the police to enforce
the "Jim Crow" law. IN two instances
conductors were badly beaten and
seriously wounded as result or their
endeavor to carry out the law. So un-
bearable became the conduct of the
troopers that the mayor went too Major
Macomb, the officer commanding the
regiment, and made complaint. The
major admitted the seriousness Of the
m after, but said that he was unable to
control the men when out on pass. The
m ayor then addressed himself to Repre-
sentative Garner, of Texas, who lost
no time in laying the whole matter
before the President.
Mr.. Taft was Secretary of War in
1906 at the time of the Brownville diff
Fl Guilty, and he appreciated the stu
alton. AS soon as he heard the COM
plants, he sent for Major-GenerM
Wood, chief of staff, and directed that
or ders be issued Immediately relieving
the Ninth. from further duty in the
provisional brigade at San Antonio,
and dispatching the regiment to patrol
duty along the Mexican border in the
Arizona desert. "as far out in the
desert as possible, and away from
cities land towns where they might
have opportunity to make trouble with
the citizens of the country"
By an act passed in 1872, two regi-
ments of cavalry and two regiments of
infantry of colored troops are required
to be maintained in the army. This
law puts these regiments practically
outside of the jurisdiction of the War
Departr ent.-=Mr. Garner told the
Presidentithat he would endeavor to
have this law repealed SO that the
President might dlsband any regiment
that brings:.disgrace on the service by
disorder or violence; with which sug-
gest ton the President was greatly
pleased.
Staunton, of course, has had no ex-
perience along this line. Our colored
popu lation is valuable asset to this
com munity, and the vast majority Of
them would resent any such conduct
on the part of U. s. troops who hap
pc ned:to be colored men, as quickly
and vigorously-as if the white soldier
were in fault.

OUR ANNUAL FIRE TAX

The Government of the United States
owns buildings valued at some $780,
OOO, 900, and is adding to them at the
rate of about $2O,OOO,OOO a year. In
constructing these buildings every en-
deavor is made to have them built of
the most durable materials, and in 1907
general review Of building materials
was undertaken by the United States
Geological Survey with especial atten-
ton to the means of rending Govern
ment buildings freproof. In the
course of this investigation some facts
were brought forward that are tar
from creditable to our people. Within
the past few weeks a destructive con-
fagration in Starnton, horrible fire
catastrophe in New York and costly
fire in Albany in which many docu-
ments connected with the early his
tory of country were destroyed,
have called public attention to this
ever-present danger and have reused
interest in the means of avoiding such
calamities in the future.
Leaving out of consideration the loss
of life and the sentimental value at
tached to many of the articles DESTROY
ed, the actual money value of the
buildings and contents destroyed an
nually in the United States is appall-
ing. In 1907, the total cost of fires in
the whole country amounted to almost
one half the value of new buildings
constructed in the same time. Omit
ting forest fires and marine disasters,
the tire loss to our people was $456, 1885,
OOO-a sum exceeding the total value
of the gold, silver, copper, and petrol
cum produced in the country during
that year. The cost of new buildings
was approximately a thousand mil
lions, SO it can be seen that nearly one
half of the value of buildings added to
the wealth of the country at large was
destroyed by fires which, generally
speaking, are preventable. To really
this loss, it may be well to
notice that it exceeds the value of the
real estate and Improvements in any
one OF these states, viz: Maine, West
North Carolina, North Da-
kota, South Dakota, Alabama, Louis
lana or Montana.
Coming to the actual loss due to the
destruction of buildings and contents,
ignoring interruption of business and
not counting cases in which the whole
loss was covered by insurance, the loss
was $215, 084, 709. This means that
if equally distributed among the peo-
pie, every man, woman and child
would have lost $3.50. Suppose the
State or National Government should
impose needlessiy such q tax on the
people, it would almost arouse an In
surrection. 1t would be considered a.
terrible act of tyranny, and yet care
less construction, private greed and
public neglect, if not corruption, has
this burden for so long that it
is considered matter of course. In
cidentally in 1907, 1,449 persons were
killed, and 1854 were injured in fires;

is out of the question.-New York
