First Is the negro question. You
may call the suggestion a foolish
one, but if you really thought OF 1t
You would end with a different con-
clusion, realizing the fact that this
is one of the greatest hindrances tc
the nation.
What did the newspapers publish
only last week: Race riots in Mary
lend and Mississippi. Some o. you
read the account of the Harriston
about as many persons wounded. a
few years ago in Monroe, La, a num-
Der OF people were killed by negro
cra.ed with cocaine, and giving vent
to the undying hatred the negro har-
Tors Tor the white man. Then there
was the Civil War. Wasn't this a
domestic quarrel? And all on ac-
count Of the negroes. Still they hate
the whites and want to repay tine
gruGge of slavery. They want tc
have equal social and political posi-
lions and by degrees are getting
them.
Look at New York state. A law
was recently enacted enforcing equal
ity in hotels, theatres and all pub
lie places. In Boston over half of
the teachers in the schools are ne
gro women, and a number of north
ern states allow inter-marriage be-
tween the races. The negro is SLOW
ly but surely gaining equality and
when he gets. this he will not be
content until he lords it over the
whites, and then the stronger race
will predominant.
Next to the negro question is the
labor problem. Year by year the
laboring mans wages have been de-
creased and food advanced until e
decent living is out of the question.
This is what causes the great strikes.
such as, for instance, the Chicago
strike, also the Los Angeles Adyna-
hitting disaster.
Are conditions improving? In
deed they are not.
Jefferson himself, in the Declare
ton of independence has answered
for us when he declares that when
a government fails to meet the ends
for which it was organized, it was
time for the people to rise up and
overthrow that government and es-
tablish in its stead one that Will
answer the purpose. Will not the
laboring classes of America act on
that advice and seek to establish a
government that gives them protec-
ton?
Another danger threatening our
country is the immigration of unde-
sirable people. Every year nearly !;
million of foreigners come to US, ig-
norant of our customs and opposed
to our government They crowd to-
gether in cities, resenting our effort
of Americanizing them, and here lay
plots against the laws of the land.
l have now mentioned the three
great evils endangering the United
States. Either one of these could
easily be fought against and over
come, but when all three are increas-
ing each year, we are made to trem-
BILE for the security Of our govern.
ment. l therefore ask my opponents
what view can we take but that an
uncertain future awaits us, and to
emphasize the fact / desire to say
that foreign troubles only awaken
the sense of patriotism in the people
Of nation.

Many of these are widows who exc out

their children that they may send them

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Favors Registering Washerwomen

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
Chief Bodeker's idea of having the wash
erwomen to register is a good one and
can be made to serve a double purpose
besides protecting the people from hav-
ing the wash stolen, the places where
the washerwomen live could be inspected
and see that no tuberculosis or other
contagious or infectious disease is present
1t is recognized that tubercular infection
is spread through such sources and in
some cities the idea of registration and
inspection is in vogue SO why not insti-
tute 1t here? Yours truly,
