SCIENTISTS ON me
GRO PROBLEM

Washington Star, Dec. 81, 1917
The close of the session in this
city of the American Association
for the Advancement of Science,
the greatest gathering of scientists
that has ever been held in this
country, came last night. There
were something over 1000 scientist
in Washington for the meeting
Thirty scientific societies affiliated
with the parent body held stimuli
taneous meetings here, and the
progress in every line of science
was discussed.
One of the papers before the an
thropologists was by Prof. Albert
jerks of the University of Mime
sofa on the Negro problem in the
United States.
1t was especially recommended
by Prof. jerks that a bureau or
commission should he established
and properly endowed, preferably
with private funds, SO as to remove
the investigators from the ill eff
fects of political influence, to study
the entire Negro problem.
1--WE must have facts" said Prof.
jerks. For instance, while few
Negroes claim that they are the
equals of white Americans, while
the majority of white Americans
believe the Negro to be inferior to
the white American, respectable
body of scientists claim that there
is no evidence as yet to show that
the Negro is not the peer of the
white man. What are the facts?
Opinion and prejudice we have in
abundance. Now we should have
the facts"
The speaker commented on the
fact that there are no United
States laws forbidding the immi-
grafton of African black people,"
and none against their demand for
citizenship. During the past ten
years 39,631 African black immi-
grant aliens came into the United
States, about 20 per cent of them
being illiterates. A small percen.
tage of them came direct from Af-
RIGA, and most of them went to
various northern states.
II believe" said Prof. jerks,
"that these African blacks are un-
desirable immigrants. For the
same reason, urged with greater
force, that we exclude Chinese and
Japanese. we should exclude the
African black man"
1t is estimated that 200 legiti.
mate families of Negro men and
their white wives live in Mime
apolis. This, as in the South,
tends to the gradual elimination of
the blacks and the increase ii
those who pass as white.

Taft and Roosevelt.

Mr. Taft's denial that he stole che
Chicago convention is mot convinc-
ing. 1t only goes to show that it
was game of steal and Roosevelt
lost.
The ColorePs comment on this is
shockingly rude, tnouoh blrnt folks
may say it is very much to the point.
.sIn my last article in he Outlook, .
he remarks, 81 said that the homily
of pickpocket did not tend to ed
ification. Let Mr. Hilles read that
and profit by it." To which it may
be added that there never was sue
cessful pickpocket who could not find
clever defender to argue his case
before jury.
But why should Democrats care
about this falling out over political
robberies in the Republican party.
The people will get the benefit. 1t is
enough for us to know that the Re-
publican party is irretrievably dis
organized and disrupted and that the
public is now getting the truth of its
corruption from the parties who have
been its beneficiaries and bosses.

The people.

Gentlemen who talk affrightedly
about the hasty judgments OF the
people lack either honesty or obser-
walton. The. judgments of the peo-
pie are not hasty, but deliberate
even slow. The people are natural
ly conservative. They bear long and
patiently; they turn from the old
ways and old ideas with reluctance.
But there is something tremendous
like the forces of nature, in their
accumulated convictions The need
of railroad regulation, the demand
for protection from poisoned food,
the right to control the parties for
which they furnish the votes, none
of the deep, abiding convictions of
the public have come as sudden
waves, as hasty judgments. But de-
liberately, very slowly, the people
have reached these national conclu-
sions. There are many instances of
sudden changes, of whirlpool con-
victions, of radical moves on the
part of men managing great business
concerns, of statesmen. of judges,
even. But the judgments Of the
people are deliberate, slow, cuTnula-
tive, and there never was a more
groundless fear than that a major
|ity Of the nation may be played up
on at will be demagogues and
blown into flame of rashness that
will consume our Sacred institu-
tions''-or any other sorI that are
worth keeping -Collier's Weekly.

Heapitng Up Wrath.


The Monroe Waterman has the
following to say of the appointment
of James s. Lakin, president of the
state board of control, and sworn to
give his entire time to the perform
ance of the duties that office, as
chairman of the Republican state
committee:
II Mr.. James S. Lakin, president
of the state board of control, at
tends to his public duties, for which
he is paid $4,000 a year he is an
exceedingly busy man. let he has
accepted the Craftsmanship of the
Taft republican state committee
which implies that he will devote
his time to all its exacting demands
West Virginians of all parties are
disposed to be liberal in such mat
ters, but they are tired, very tired
of paid officers sacrificing the public
trusts committed to them on the al
tar of private and partisan Inter
ests. The selection of Mr.. Lakin by
the republican committee and his
acceptance Of the. job shows con-
tempt for the people whose sa1aried
servant he Is. This is in keeping
with what has gone on with impuni-
ty for years in this state, to the dis
gust of fair-minded people prospect
i've of politics. But these politicians
seem to learn nothing and go on
heaping up wrath against the day
OF wrath.

NOTICE.

| have had several letters of late
from different parts of the county
advising that the report was out
that had renowned my allegiance
to the Socialist party and was seek
ing favors at the hands of the Demo-
Gratis. The person who is original
authority for such report is ma
licious falsifier, and has not a grain
of truth upon which to base such a
statement.
When one has become Socialist
simply by acquainting himself with
Socialist principles, and not merely
from dissatisfaction with the old
parties, / am fool enough to believe
he would not compromise his prin-
|ciples for all the Democratic votes
he ever saw. While I have always
voted heretofore with the Democrats
because I thought of the two evils |
would choose the lesser there being
no Socialist candidates to vote for,
yet both the Democratic and the Re-
publican parties are directly opposed
to Socialism. They both stand for
the private ownership of all the
means of production and distribu-
tion of all the things the people
must have in order to live, which of
course means continuance of the
profit system and the exploitation of
the working class by me capitalist
class. In other words both old par
ties stand for a system of produc-
ton and distribution of all the nee
essaries of life whereby the working
class is compelled to produce all the
necessaries, and Injuries as we'll, for
the capitalist class, before it is per-
mitted to produce even the necessa-
ries for itself, The Socialist party
lis directly and eternally opposed to
such a system. They don't believe
there should be two classes of peo-
pie, one of which is made the pack

The One-Term Plank.

Apparently conceding the proba-
5ility of Woodrow Wilson's election.
the New York Tribune takes IN.
coscealed delight in what it consid-
ers a platform obligation that he
shall not accept a second term. The
Tribune refers to "a proyiso against
giving Mr. Wilson second term
put into the Baltimore declaration
by Mr. Bryan.
The Springfield Republican, ac-
cepting the Tribune's Interpretation
speaks of Boss Murphy as finding
zone crumb of consolation in the
situation that Dr. Wilson would find
himself up against this one-term
declaration of his party
The .one-term declaration" thus
supposed to bar Wilson's re-nomi-
nation is this:
eve avor a single presidential
term and to that emo urge the adop-
ton Of an amendment to the consti-
tuition making the president ineligi-
BILE for reelection, and We pledge the
candidate of this convention to this
principle.
Does this mean that Mr.. Wilson
elected this fall for four years, cam
not be reelected in 1916? Pending
the adoption and ratification of such
an amendment, which would in all
probability extend the single term
to six or eight years, would 1t VIC
late the principle" involved to re-
ward an efficient executive with a
second four years? Such an inter-
probation seems rather less than OBJ
vious..
Had the man who wrote the Bal
timore platform intended to deny
the privilege of denomination to
the conventions nominee, he should
have put the prohibition into words
impossible to misconstrue. He is
man both able and accustomed to
saying what he means.
