CLASS AGAINST CLASS

In every country it is the same,
and in this country more than any
other the close organization of
wealth against the rest of the pop
ulation is intensely developed.
Organization of monopoly, orga-
nization of bribery, organization
for the control of courts, legisla-
lures and all public ofiicials-these
are features of that close combina-
ton which great wealth has orga-
nized for its own protection.
But nobody seems to be worried
by that particular "arraying of
class against class"
Wealth may organize itself and
organize all its powers for its own
protection and for the exploitation
of poverty. That in our system,
is called wise, conservative bust
ness Judgment.
1t is only when some one sug-
gests that what the rich do with
their dollars the workers should
do with their numbers and the
power OF numbers, that the bogy
of "class against class" is brought
out and paraded with dismal
bowls.
In spite of the bowls, and the
class against class" drivel, sooner
or later majority of the people
will organize IN some way to over
come the power Of the majority Of
dollars. And when that happens

AMALGAMATION OF RACES.

Well Known Anthropologist Notes
Change In Color Of Afro Americans.
As the earlier separated American
types are becoming centralized INTO
one type. so the American Negro. al
ready possessed OF many OF, the men.
tai and emotional characteristics OF our
nation. has become so Importantly diff
ferent from his African ancestor that
to call him plain Ethiopian would
not be touching the point. says Walter
Winston Kenilworth in the Forum. He
ia already an American citizen. Who
knows what he will be six generations
hence?
Apart from this. 1t remains Singh
larry mysterious just exactly why the
Negro type Is gradually relinquishing
Its darker bodily shade and coming
into a rarer and more Caucasian color.
There are Negroes. and an increasingly
growing number of them. whose color
is not far removed from that of the
average Caucasian of southern Europe
or western Asia. Many Of them in
truth might be taken for orientals Of
the darker Italian or Spanish types.
The only reasonable hypothesis is
the amalgamation OF the Negro with
the Caucasian. 1t alone can account
for the gradual change in the frontal
development of the head. the gradual
thinning of the lips. the gradual con.
traction of the nostrils and the gradual
change in the texture of the hair. re-
ceding from its primitive curly state
to the straight black coarse hair Of
the south Asiatic, the Malay or Pacific
island type. This is so emphatically
striking that attention only need be
called to the fact.
