A Dying Race?

The colored population of the
past decade increased IL $40 per
cent. That increase was just one,
half of the white gain. The per
cent of increase is not so great as
in the decade from 1890 to 1900.
The white proportion of the popu'
lation in America is 80 per cent.
1t was 81 go per cent in 1900,
and S6 $40 per cent thirty years
ago.
The lack of increase in the negro
population is noticeable on every
plantation and in every Southern
city where a study Of the negro is
being made. Keepers of stores
find that they do not sell as many
shoes for negro children as they
did formerly.

1t is true that the increase in
the white population has been
greatly accelerated by immigration.
Foreigners are also more prolific
than Americans for three or four
generations.
1t is just possible that eliminat-

The Fayorite Son Menace.

The Dallas News aays of the op-
position to Woodrow WilsCn:
"UndOubtedly he is the choice
of a large majority of the rank and
file Democrats of the nation. But
Gov, Wilson has powerful oppon-
ents, The standpatters in his own
party are mostly against him. The
mossbacks are afraid of him, the
'machinists' dislike him because
they feel subconsciously that he
has no liking for their kind. In
several states the machines will
back favorite sons, which is an
other name for dummy candidates,
and if Gov. Wilson shall not be
nominated ON the first ballot, room
for trading and manipulation may
be found. This, very likely, will
result in the defeat of the general
favorite and the nomination of
some one to whom the masses of
the people cannot be drawn. And
that will be equivalent to the sue
cess of the Republican nominee, a
cOnsummatiOn not at all distaste-
full to some of the self-constituted
leaders of Democracy
The point is well made, and in
keeping with what this paper said
some time'ago. WhetherGov. Wilson
be the choice of the people or not,
conditions should not be permitted
which will tie up the convention
and put the situation in the hands
