, OUR COLOR COMES FROM
' WHAT WE EAT
, HE CLAIMS
\ German Scientist Declares "Race
\ fermentation" Derived From
y Racial Diet Habits

(Harper's Weekly

Bergfeld, the German investigator
holds the view that the fermentation
of the races is due to feeding. He
points out that in the animal world
color is often determined by food, and
he contends that by chemical process
the same results are shown in the dit
ferent human races. According to this
theory, the original man was black
since his chief diet must have been
vegetarian. Fruit and vegetables con
tain manganates that ally themselves
with IRON constituting dark brown
combination" Bergfeld states that
negroes who add meat and milk to
their vegetable fare are never as dark
as those negroes who eat only veg
etables.
Indians are red, it appears, because
they have absorbed for generations
haemoglobin, the red substance in the
blood of the animals killed for food.
Morgols are yellow by reason of the
fact that hey are descendants FROM
dark fruit-rearing races who penetrat-
ed into the plans of Asia. become
shepherds, and lived to a great extern
on milk, which contains chlorine, and
has a bleaching effect
The Caucasians were another branch
who became still whittier by adding salt
10 their dietary. Common salt is -
)strong chlorine, and a powerful agent
in bleaching the skin The effect can
be seen, 1t is declared, in the case o.
negro children who have been reared
on white" dietary. They are never
60 black as their kindred who have not
abandoned vegetarianism

SENATOR SMITH
FAVORS AIRSHIPS
Wants Fifty for Protection Of
Ports

Washington, D. c., Feb. 25.-When
the naval appropriation bill, which is
expected to precipitate another bitter
fight in the house reaches the sen
ate, a determined effort to amend
il to provide greatly increased appro-
priations for airships, probably will
be made. Senator Hoke Smith is a
leading advocate of great activity
and expenditure, in this especial
branch of the country's national de-
Tense.
at least 100000 ought to be ap-
propriated for further airship devel-
opment," said Senator Smith today.
I'VE need vessels of the big dirigible
type used in Germany, capable of trav-
cling great distances, and carry
ing destruction to the enemy. For
fifty airships at New Yorkandthirts
at Panama, capable of wide radius
of action, would constitute a strons
defense against any foreign naval
power"

WILSON'S HARDEST JOB
New York World.)

The most difficult Cabinet Office that
Woodrow Wilson has to fill is that Of
Acknowledgement of the United States.
No other Cabinet appointment will be
subjected to such close scrutiny. No
other will so clearly represent to the
popular mind the aims and purposes of
the new Administration.
At the outset the President will be
Judged more by his Attorney-GeneraI
than by any other member of his oftic-
ial family, not excepting the Secretary
of the Treasury.
In regard to most of these Offices the
public is relatively Indifferent except
as to the matter of general ability and
character. Mr.. Bryan is free to take
the office of Secretary of State or let Ii
alone as he chooses Plenty of men
could be found for the Secretary of
War or Secretary of the Navy or Post
master-General or Secretary of Com
merce and Labor or Secretary of the
Interior. Even the Treasury is not 4
perplexing problem, although it re-
quires qualifications that are not com
mon. But to select a suitable success
sor to George w Wickersham is SER
ious business.
1t would be easy to find an Attorn
ey-General fashioned after the Knox
plan who would vindicate the Sherman
law in the Supreme Court and then as
sure Wall street that the Administra'
| ton would not run amuck." 1t wouli
be easy to find an Acknowledgement
| fashioned after the Bonaparte plan
who would always be willing to fire
irto the corporation covey in the hope
of bringing down bird or two. But
men competent to follow in the Wick
ersham footsteps are few in number
The new Attorney-General must We
man who can command public con.
| fidence and who can also command the
expert confidence of the bench and har
as we'll. He must be man whose leg
al attainments are such that Wall
street will take him seriously from the
start At the same time he must be
free from any faint of demagogue, free
from any disposition to crusade
against business in general for the
mere love of notoriety.
Mr.. Wickersham has earned the
hatred of Big Business and the indy
ing enmity of every trust promoter
ard every trust beneficiary in the
country He has likewise earned the
fear of all these eminent malefactors.
When he starts a suit they know that
they are confronting one of the ablest
lawyers In the country, who can be
swerved neither by influence nor in
t1midation. The abuse that has been
heaped upon him is the highest tribute
to his ability and his public service.
The World sincerely hopes that
there Is a George w. Wickersham In
the Democratic party and that Mr. vii
son will be able to find him. A great
Acknowledgement is essential to the
work Of a great progressive admins
tration.

AGRICULTURAL CREDIT

Not only have the President the
President-elect, and the former Presi-
dent cordially endorsed the proposal
for the establishment of an agricultu-
raj credit system, but the governors Of
the various states have taken such 1.
deep interest in the subject that con-
certed action is likely within the next
year. President Taft put the matte"
before the governors several months
ago, and the results so far have been
very gratifying.
No one denies that there should be
an agricultural credit system such as
will give the farmers the same kind OF
elastic credit that is enjoyed by bus
mess men. At the present time the
farmers must put mortgages on their
homes or give other real estate secur-
ity, even when they need loans for
only a few weeks or a few months.
There are times when farmers need
few hundred dollars to tide then
over the harvesting period, but a sinai
loan causes them just as much trouble
and embarrassment as a large one The
banks do not care to go through al
the formalities of a mortgage trans
action for short loan of a small sun
of money. President Taft states tn,
condition in this way
The entire system of agricultural
business which is practiced by the
farmers of the United States needs tc
be greatly improved, in view of tho
failure of our food supply to keep pace
with the increase in our population.
trust that every State in the Union will
participate in an inquiry which, it il
quite certain will be of real and last
ing Importance to our rural poula
ton.
Most of the states are already coon
Grating in the work of establishing al
agricultural credit system, all realiz
ing apparently that the government
alone cannot meet the needs of the sit
uation. Gov. Sulzer of New York ha'
shown sincere desire to aid tn
movement by appointing commission
which includes Vincent Astor an,
Chairman Yoakum. of the Frisco lines
to go to Europe to make threr
months study of the various European
systems of agricultural credit. =
The Southern Commercial Congress
is taking an active part in the move
ment, and is giving every assistance t.
the investigators who will go to Eu
rope. By next year there should b,
real results from the plan set on foo
by President Taft.
