BIGGEST BATTLEsHlP AFLoAT
Argentlna's RIvadavia to be Launched
Saturday at Fore River

Quincy, Mass, Aug. 23.--In celebra-
ton of the anniversary of the indepen-
dence OF the Argentine Republic, Of
ficials OF that country came to the
Fore River Shipbuilding company's
yard in this city on May 25, 1910, and
watched the laying of the keel OF a
battleship destined to exceed in size
and armament all other battleships
yet built or projected.
On Saturday next the wife OF the
Argentine minister to the United
States will christen this super-Dread-
nought the Rivadavia, and she will
slide into the waters of Fore River.
For the honor OF constructing this
great sea fighter and her sister battle
ship TO be named the Moreno, twenty.
FIVE shipbuilders, representing Eng
land, Germany, France. Italy and the
United States. submitted bids.
The Fore River company secured
the contract for both battleships at q
price of about 1,000,0 900 each. The
company decided to build the Rivada
via in its own yard and then suble'
the contract for the Moreno to the
New York Shipbuilding company. al
though the machinery for both, inclu
ding the turbines, was made at the
Fore River plant.
An unforeseen difficulty arose wher
Il was found that the drawbridgt
through which vessels built at Fore
River have TO pass to reach the ocear
was not wide enough to accommodate
the new battleship but the Legislature
was appealed to and authorized the
widening OF the draw.
The Rlvadavia will be approximate
ly 1900 tons heavier than the lates
battleship projected for the American
and British navies.

President Taft in speech at Roch-
ester spoke of the "nostrums of re-
form" The Banner has not read the
speech in full and does not know how
he applied the term but the phrase
will strike the ear of thinking men
as an apt one. The world is full of
"nostrums of reform" cures for this
and preventives for that, which will
neither cure nor prevent. Some of
them are proposed in good faith and
honest enthusiasm but many of them
are born in demagogy, fostered in
ing and fruit in humbug. In these
days of hot agitation and unrest II is
one of the hardest things In the world
to distinguish the "nosturms" OF re-
form from the genuine. There is no
political system which will insure
comfort, competence and happiness
to the ordinary man, or indeed to any
man. These things are dependent on
health. habits, industry and thrift
When any party, faction. cult or in
dividual promises to make the rank
and file well-to-do or to give them the
luxuries enjoyed by the rich, by some
sudden political process. take no
stock In the theory, II is merely a
nostrum OF reform. But the fact that
the great part OF proposed reforms
are nosturms should not blind us to
the Importance OF the remaining por-
ton. There can be no sudden or
magical transition. Nature and hu.
manity make haste slowly. Better
ment comes gradually through i'm.
proved conditions and that reform is
best which will aid in advancing so
ciety and government so as to enable
every man born under II to attain.
through integrity, industry and perse-
verance, to a condition of comfort,
quacking and fruit In humbug In these
only be taken away from him when
he seeks to abuse the liberties by
which he is surrounded.

uHLAN WILL BE AT STATE FAIR
The Great Trotter Will be Exhibited
by It's Owner, c. X. G. Billings

by It's OWner, =. n. u. blillnqs
White River Junction, August IL
The great trotting gelding Uhlan,
whose phenomenal work on the track
has established a new worlds record
will be a feature at the Vermont
State fair to be held here Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
September 19, 20, 81 and 22.
Mr. C. X. G.. Billings OF New York
City, the owner Of Uhlan, when In
vited to come to the Vermont State
fair, Immediately gave his consent,
and Mr.. Billings will drive the great
trotter on the track. Horsemen are
familiar with the care given famous
trotters but the public at large have
but a conception of the time required
and the care given to the horse OF
speed. At the state fair Uhlan will
have a stall especially constructed
for his comfort. He will have no less
than six attendants whose one duty
is to look after the needs of the horse.
To reach the fair grounds Uhlan will
be transported from New York City
in a special car. This car is even
more luxurious than most of the pri-
vate cars for the big railroad officials.
Doc Tanner the great geldings
trainer, will also come on with the
horse.
Uhlan's latest achievement was the
making of new record at the grand
Circuit races at Cleveland, August IL.
To wagon in the open Uhlan step
ped a half mile In 56A seconds. This
achievement broke the record OF one
minute fiat, established on July 81,
1906, by three and three-quarters sec
onds and established a mark that pro-
badly will stand for generations to
come
The fact that Uhlan will be at the
state fair will draw horsemen from
all over New England, and not only
horsemen but thousands who love the
horse OF breeding and speed are sure
to take advantage of this opportunity
to see the greatest track horse of the
lday

SOUTH GROWING WHITTIER.
Negro Maiorities Disappearing In Ger
tain Southern States.

Negro Maiorities Disappearing In Ger
tain Southern States.
South Carolina and Mississippi are
the only states with more negroes
than whites and it will not be long
before they have white majorities, at
the present rates of increase of the
two races. All over the south the
proportions of white to negro resi-
dents is growing steadily Twenty
wears ago Louisiana and Florida also
had more negroes than whites. Flor
ida gained so many new white inhab-
itants in the decade between 1890
and. 1900 that the twelfth census
showed a white majority of $1,000.
This lead is now 100000. Louisiana
passed into the white column in the
same period by $4,000 majority, and
this majority is now about 16O,OOO.
South Carolina has S35.S4S negroes
to 679,l62 whites, but the whites are
increasing three times as fast as the
negroes and the majority Of 156,6Sl
negroes may be overcome in the next
ten years. The South Carolina negro
majority dates back ninety years. II
was a natural corollary OF rice and
dustrial communities, and South Car
olina is becoming a manufacturing
state. The negroes increased 6.S per
cent in South Carolina between 1900
and 1901 and the whites 21.S per cent
Mississippi expects to get into the
white column by 1925.
The more rapid increase Of the
whites is due not only to the growth
OF manufactures. 1t is explained IN
part by the growth Of the material
prosperity and intelligence OF the ne
groes themselves They are aple 10
60 where they think they can better
themselves in one way and another,
and they know more about other COM
munities. We do not mean that
South Carolina is driving out the ne
gFoes by oppression. In spite OF Gov
ernSr Cole Blease, the treatment OF
the negroes in South Carolina is be-
coming more liberal, largely because
the whites no longer have any fears
for their supremacy. Nor do we In
tend to assert that the negroes who
leave the state really better them
selves. It is enough that they follow
the hopes raised in them by their
reading and by reports that reach
them from other sections. Actually
we are convinced that the negroes are
better off in the south than anywhere
else.
The diffusion of the negroes
throughout the country is, however,
a great gain for the south. 1t gives
Massachusetts, and Michigan first hand
knowledge OF race problems and
tends to assure the south freedom
from interference or rash condemna-
tion. The influx Of new white set
tiers from other states is a gain to
South Carolina and the entire south.
Still more so Is the uplifting of the
more backward southern whites that
has come with the development of
manufactures and diversified farm
ing.-Knoxville Sentinel.
