NOT A VANISHING RACE
LO, the Poor Indian, Not Yet Booked
for Happy Hunting Grounds.
CPittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph)

a curious feature of the circum-
stances attending the erection of her.
ole statue of an Indian in bronze On
Staten Island is the tendency to regard
this memorial as tribute to a van
ishing race. Why vanishing?
That the Indian race should have
shown signs of vanishing under Old
time conditions, when the white man
was possessing himself by violence Of
the lands of the red men and carrying
the vices of civilization into the red
mans camps, was not surprising. The
weaker race went to the wall and the
stronger one prevailed by a process
that threatened to eventuate in exter-
mination.
Time has changed all this. however,
and in these days of peace and gov
.ernmental solicitude for the well-being
of the Indian, there would seem to be
no reason for assuming that, sooner or
later the aboriginal American type
must be extinguished unless on the
theory that this will be accomplished
by the gradual merger of the races,
contingency which, if it is bound to
come at all, is undoubtedly quite re-
mote.
If memorials are to be erected to the
Indian, let this be done with reason
ably good grace, avoiding the assump-
ton that our red-skinned brother is on
his last legs, and that it is proper to-
begin making provision for honoring
him as the dear departed" The In
dian has not departed by any means,
II does he afford evidence of being
tn any special hurry to depart.
1t is more probable that, for many d
generation to come, survivors of the
aboriginal tribes will enjoy the privil-
eye of visiting the spot where that 65-
foot bronze figure is to tower aloft and
meditating with amused wonderment
on the disposition of their white
breth en- to assume that their race
could be, under present day condi-
tons, so easily and swiftly wiped out.

Here the question naturally arises;
Shall the Potomac at Washington then
and for all time to come, be merely an
ornamental fixture, or shall it be de-
Veloped as harbor and as such re-
lieve with animation and color what
otherwise might be a rather dull ami
monctonous marine view? The belief
is gaining ground at the Capital that
II thte harbor advantages shall be util-
lied to the full, the problem of cheap
er transportation for supplies will be
in fair way to solution 1t would
have the farms of large part OF
Maryland and Virginia practically at
its doors. 1t is not anticipated, nor is
it desired, that Washington shall ever
become a great commercial seaport,
but 1t ought to be able to avail itself,
as do other capitals, of the advantage
1t enjoys in having access TO the sea
and to the outer coast. 1t is only twice
as far as London from deep salt wa
ter; it Is only miles farther inland
than Paris; St. Petersburg is only
one-ffth its distance from the sea, but
unlike the Neva, the Potomac is nav
igable in all seasons. Harbor devel-
opmsnt for Washington is, of course
soplething for the future, but all pres
ent tendencies are in this direvtion
The need is for wharves, landings
warehouses, and these, of necessity
must be so constructed and arranged
as to conform to the general scheme
of improvement.

lies on one of the finest rivers in the
world, los miles from its mouth, but
the contiguity of the stream has rather
detracted from than added to its

CAUSE OF THE FLOODS
Engineer Attributes Them to Influence
of Cold Labrador Current.
New York Tines

There is every reason to believe
that the report of the proposed Labra-
dor current and gulf stream commits
sion would show that the present de-
luge in Ohio and Indiana, and also the
tornadoes and cyclonic storms of the
United States, are directly attributable
to the presence of the cold Labrador
current between the warm gulf stream
and our coast
The area of the warm surface of
the gulf steream may be safely esti-
mated at so miles in width and 1900
miles in length, from which vast guam
titles of moist, warm air rise into the
initial motive stream of the atmos-
phere moving ever southwestward and
forming a great blanket above US,
with a constant westward tendency.
How far this great moist blanket goes
westward before it is precipitated Us
rain depends primarily upon its alti-
tude; the altitude lergely depends up
on its initial volume and temperature,
and these upon the cold currents
which the blanket meets initially. The
first great reducing and also condens-
ing influence is the Labrador current,
constantly chilling the surface or aes-
ial commencement that flows from our
coast toward the gulf stream.
If it were not for the cold current,
the moist blanket would seem to have
sufficient latent heat under normal
conditions to reach the Rocky Noun
tains before it was finally precipitated
by the ascension, rarefcation, and
consequent refrigeration caused by
these mountains, precipitating en- route
part of its moisture in gentle showers
as it gradually cooled under the re-
frigerating influence above it, ami
thus watering our arid Western plains
The warmth and moisture of the Pa
cltic coast are carried from that ocean
by the eastward moving current Of
the great initial moving stratum abole
it. This countercurrent does not pass
eastward of the Rocky Mountains,
while the principal source of our rain
fall and much of the heat of the Unit
ed States east of the Rocky Mountains
comes from the gulf stream. The
nearer this blanket layer is to the
earth the more it is affected by wind
currents between it and the eaIth's
surface These wind currents cause
precipitation and great or sudden
changes of barometric air atmospher-
ic pressure; the heavy blanket is in
dented or punctured, and this induces
still greater disturbances.
If the purpose of H. R. bill 1929
are carried out, providing for a Lab
rador current and gulf stream COM
mission, the underlying cause of the
initial currents of the ocean and the
atmosphere will be ascertained, AMI
the new incumbent of the Office If
weather bureau chief will be in a posi-
ton to better the predictions of the
outgoing Chief Moore.

NO PLACE FOR THE VAGRANT

As long as Georgia fields at nearly
every season of the year call for the
Iabors OF every one who is idling, there
is no room for the vagrant in Georgia.
Worthless negroes on the streets, and
other loafers ald idIers should be
made to work. Their removal from
the streets is enc of the best things
that can happen to them, as the Sd
1annah News points out:
As a result of the activities of the
Mayor and police of brownsville there
has been inaugurated in Thomas couu-
t. back to the land movement that
is in every way desirable. 1t is giving
the farmers of that county good SUI
ply OF labor at a time when they need
it very much. 1t consists merely in
seeing to it that loafers and Migrants
either work in freedom or on the
cAaingang. The result is that those
v no have had no visible means of sup
port are busy hunting jobs. If work
is not to be had for all of them il
Thomasville some go into the sur
rounding country and ask for it.
What is being done in Thomasvil!a
has been done in half dozen other
South Georgia towns recently. This IS
a very good time to press anti-vag
rancy campaigns. The farmers have
often found themselves handicapped ny
the scarcity of labor in crop-planting
time when the towns and cities were
swarming with idle negroes. If the
police of the towns and cities would
enter upon continual crusade against
idlers, black and white, there undoubt-
eddy would be less complaint among
the farmers about the scarcity of labor
AID there would be much less work for
the police courts to do.
Idle negroes in the cities get food
and clothing in apparently as great
abundance as do those who work. OF
course, what they eat and wear comes
out of the homes of white families as
general thing, and contributes to the
high cost of living in those homes. The
idle negro is a nuisance and expense to-
the city. He can not live very long 10
the country without having to go t.
work He knows that and naturally
prefers to live in the city. The farmer
suffers because he can't get enough
labor to look after his farm properly
and the city resident suffers because
he indirectly supports the idle negro.
The problem presented by this con-
dition of affairs has been solved b.
and can be solved by anv
other city where the police will keen
right after the Migrants. Let the dlers
know that they must go to work, either
under the eyes of armed guards and
without wages, or at liberty and for
pay. Thomas county farmers report
that they are getting requests for jobs
daily from negroes and do not antici.
pate any great scarcity of labor rs
long as the Thomasville police keep
moving on the idlers.

LOON AT THIS PICTURE AND AT
THAT

One may well make the apt compari-
son suggested in Shakespeare's Hamlet
as regards two pictures placed side
by side when the matter of the en-
forcement of the game law in Sumter
county and in Dougherty county IS
taken into consideration.
Look first at the recent trials held
here for doye-baiting, at which not
even a sign of a conviction was mani
tested. The solicitor of the city court
and the game warden did their duty
fully in presenting the facts to the
jury, which promptly refused in each
instance to return a verdict of guilty
on the ground that sufficient evidence
was lacking.
Look then at the status of affairs in
Dougherty county, before a tribunal ii
which county four citizens of Sumter
county were summoned by the game
warden Of that county. Pleas of guilty
were entered by these four offenders,
who promptly received the sentences
of the court. The services of a jury
we're not even necessary under these
circumstances.
There is manifest difference between
the two pictures that does not reflect
credit upon Sumter county. The cases
in question here were carefully placed
before the juries which tried them
Rumors were current in the court
room, just as they had been heard
more or less ever since the occurrence,
that the game law had been violated
here very generally. But the jury in
each case FAILED TO CONVICT FOR
LACK OF EVIDENCE, AS THEY
CLAIMED.
The trouble was evidently with the
juries. 1t would seem that the county
game warden and the solicitor of the
city court did their duty as prosecut-
ing officials. 1t was the verdict of the
juries that nullifed their efforts and
gave slap in the face to the enforce
ment Of the game law i'm Sumter cOun.
ty. When juries failed in doing their
duty as these did, no wonder it became
necessary for the officials to mol
PROSE- the remaining cases.
1t is generally admitted among the
sportsmen and people of Sumter coun-
ty that the new game law is a just,
fair and excellent one. Throughout
the state the law has been accepted as
one which could do more for the pre-
servation of fish and game in Georgia
than any other law had ever attempted
to do, but how is it possible to enforce
q law, no matter how excellent, when
iuries disregard the evidence present.
ed in specific cases? Should not the
generally accepted commentator Of
the law and its manifest justice be an
incentive to juries to convict offenders
rather than to turn them loose? 1t is
conceded that the law is a worthy one
1t should have rigid and thorough en-
Sumter county Went on record as multi
flying the game law when the juries in
the city court failed to convict on ev:-
dence which so many claimed was
plainly discriminatory, not taking into
consideration at all the fact that many
of the offenders are said to have ad :
mitted their guilt not only to the game
warden but to others.
