lese; and the peculiar softness of color
is accompanied by features Of less
prominent african type, while the hair
is less wool-like.
II is not easy to account for all the
peculiarities of this latest type They
may be due in part TO change In the
conditions of life and in part to the
weakening of racial qualities. In gen.
eral, the American negro is less strong
than the primitive negro and he has
less endurance than the negro slave.
Patterson, a student Of ethnology,
thinks that there Is not one negro Of
pure blood in North America, that the
negroes are not real negroes, and that
all the negroes have been subjected
to alterations. Since their emancipa-
ton negroes have married according
to their caprices.
Under the rule OF the cotton planter
no deteriorating marriage was per
mitted; the end in view was to I'm
prove the race and to produce strong
and healthy slaves. All other consid-
erations set aside, the race was more
vigorous physically so years ago than
It is today.
He is, however. more intelligent and

Although Claude stoutly denied any

We'll, just come back to the office

We'll see about that said the man,

Then Sam looked at the clock,
which was dangling from one finger
hooked in the little ring in the top of
the clock-and that clock was entire
ly unwrapped.
Sam had actually taken the clock
from the house and all the way down
town with him, without wrapping it
up. He's just naturally set it on his
desk until lunch time and then picked
it up to take to the jewelers.. He
didn't think how 1t would look to be
carrying it around the downtown
streets, and certainly didn't think of
his suspicious appearance as he start
ed out of the department store with
the unwrapped clock.
When it dawned on him that the
store detective took him for a thief,
he was going to knock the man down

he thought better of it in time and
went along to the office, where he told
the manager and everybody else pres

" hich they defend in the courts,
blackmail at will and assume a lead
crship of when necessary. The only
flaw in the arrangement is that such
forces are hard to control, and as
III the present instance, slip the leash
and dash at the forces of law and
order, only to find that law and order
must be enforced at whatever cost.
Unfortunately, it is not the most
guilty that suffer in such instances.
The spectator, the seeker after SEN
sation, the boy who wants to see it
all" the innocent bystander," are
more apt to stop the bullets than the
fomenters of the trouble who have a
way of disappearing about the time
the real trouble starts. Probably
very few of those killed and injured
in Rock Island last night were at all
culpable. They were simply in bad
company.
The real criminals are the men
higher up, the harranguers of the
mob, the men who have been taking
the money of the gambler and the
dive-keeper for giving him protec-
ton, drawing skeletons out of fam
lily closets for purpose of blackmail
and finding thrift and opportunity in
fostering the worst and most dan
serous elements OF city life.
When Rock Island gets rid of half
a dozen such men, better days will
be in sight for the city.

THE RoosEvELT1AN ATTITUDE.

Theodore Roosevelt, aspirant for a
third term in the presidency. has at
tackled the president in such q way
as to cause a widening of the chasm
which separates the Roosevelt and
Taft wings of the republican party.
So Numerically different are the ar
guments being made on both sides,
and so bitter is the controversy, these
factions cannot merge again after the
convention no matter who is nomi-
mated without those on one side stulti-
flying themselves by surrendering to
the other.
II is one OF the most remarkable
situations ever witnessed in American
politics. Roosevelt, after two terms
as president, himself selected Taft as
his successor. Taft was satisfactory
to him as the presidential choice in
1908, and the Taft administration has
been without serious criticism or In
terTuption from Oyster Bay, but now
that Roosevelt wants more Office for
himself he bitterly condemns him
whom he made president and sets him
self up as the only logical leader Of
today. He applauds himself a. the
man Of the hour-he who alone is
qualified to lead the people out OF the
wilderness
No word OF commentator which he
utters Of the real progressive work OF
United States Senator Robert NJ. La
Toilette can justifably be interpreted
as an insult to the Wisconsin states
man, who opened this great fight in
the republican party, who was the
first man OF rank in the party to step
out in advocacy OF the initiative, the
referendum and the recall, and who
built the very platform upon which
Roosevelt now presents himself for q
third term in the ONCE Of president.
Roosevelt is simply seeking place
and power under false pretenses. He

Anarchy reigned in Rock Island
last night, and the city is under con-
t1ol of the military today, as nat
ural result of the activities of a num-
Der of undesirable citizens who have
been a handicap to that city for sew
eral years.
Blackmail and graft have been in
the saddle in Rock Island for some
time, in open defiance of all the bet
ter element of the community. The
attack upon Mayor Schriver by Edi-
tor Looney through the columns Of
his paper, and the mayors mistaken
vengeance in beating the editor after
having him brought by the police to
his office in the city hall, are only
symptoms of the trouble. 1t lies much
deeper.
Imagine a community in which JUS
tees of the peace and candidates for
the states attorneyship, and editors
of so-called labor organs" mount a
barrel, wave the bloody collar of a
fellow like Looney, and harrangue
already excited mobs in incendiary
language, until there follows the in
evitable clash which results in the
death and wounding of a dozen peo-
pie.
The trouble with Rock Island is
that 1t has a group of vicious men in
its midst, who have been living off
the baser element of the community,

A NEW NEGRO TYPE.

The United States census OF 1910
reveals an interesting fact about the
negro. Despite crossings with lighter
races. the southern negro is growing
darker. Negroes were formerly clas-
sifed as octoroons. quadroons. mulat-
toes and blacks. Those distinctions.

20 a homogeneous type which is not

THE BREEDING OF TRUSTS.

There was some testimony by a
friendly expert at Washington that told
exactly how trusts originated In Amer
Tea. The Chinese wall OF tariff made
profits so exorbitant that too many
rushed In to prey upon the consumers
and there came about competition to
some extent from within and then J.
Pierpont Morgan interviewed.
Julian Kennedy. known as the Edi-
son OF the structural steel industry
was the star witness before the Stan
ley steel investigation committee.
Kennedy declared 1t his belief a
lower tariff would tend TO equalize
prices because It would allow foreign
products TO come in when there is a
sudden limit for steel Under the ex-
listing high tariff. Kennedy said, any
sudden expansion OF the demand re-
suits In the raising OF prices.
The high tariff on tubes, Kennedy
asserted. was responsible for the de-
moralization OF prices on tubes prior
to 1899. The Chinese wall Of a high
tariff. he added. had caused many tube
concerns TO spring into existence and
prices were slashed in consequence.
Kennedy said ne had been employed
about this time by ]. p Morgan to APP
praise all the tube plants in the coun-
try.
This. he testified. later resulted in
the organization by the Morgan inter
ests OF the National Tube company,
which had the effect Of "steadying"
the price.

THE STABILITY OF CITIZENSHIP.

THE STABILITY OF CITIZENSHIP.
Rock Island has stability in Its citi-
zenship, but it needs the exercise OF
that eminent and essential cualifica-
ton to safe and effective government
To be very frank among ourselves.
the citizens of Rock Island, not all Of
them, but a part OF them, have allowed
themselves to be carried away. What
they need most now is to get back to
themselves, and to stand by each other
for standing by each other is standing
for themselves.
Men may differ politically and they
may differ sincerely and materially on
theories as to public policy; they may
differ honestly on all questions. but
there is no use in getting mad about
It, and there 10 nothing to
to be gained in losing temper. or
exhibiting anger, much less hat
red, toward each other.
There is a common ground on which
all citizens may stand, and that is the
platform of common citizenship. for
the common good. 1t is the get-to-
gether and the stick-together attitude
that is needed in Rock island right
now. To get close together and be-
lieye in each other, and, unmoyed by
impulse or cunning Misrepresentation
and cruel SANDER, to stand together
and work together; that is the need
OF the times among the citizens of
Rock Island. 1t is only by arraying
one class Of citizens against another,
by appealing to prejudice, by assail.
ing character and seeking to destroy
mans standing among his fellow
men, that the elements Of corruption
and destruction can gain a foothold.
And It 10 when men, merely because
of their differences, their policies OIL
their convictions, are held up publicly
to vile assault, that the citizenship
the common citizenship. should hold
together and not permit itself to be
deferred or shattered or innuerced BY
