THE COLOR OF THE RACES
(From Harper's Weekly.)

(From Harper's Weekly.) i
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 different human races. According
to this theory the original man was
black, since his chief diet must have
been vegetarian. Fruit and vegeta-
bles contain manganates that ally
themselves with iron, constituting a
dark brown combination" Berg
field states that negroes who add meat
and milk to their vegetable fare are

Some weeks ago Judge Lowell sug-
ested that Pendleton should have a
new building, somewhere in
A Better the business section, that
Scheme. would serve to accommo-
date the public library and
the Commercial Club. 1t was pointed
out that money for the purpose might
be secured from the Roundup funds.
The big show is a money maker and
in a few years, If not now, it will
have sufficient money to erect such
a building If the money is not thrown
away too freely.
1t would be better to get building
in this way than to beg Carnegie to
come here and erect a structure with
his name adorning 1t in blazing let
ters. Adopt such a plan and double
need will be supplied for the CONNER
cial club needs new quarters as badly
as does the library. Adopt such a
plan and a worthy place will be pro-
vided for the Roundup surplus. Ad-
opt such a plan and the public IL
brary will be retained as a strictly
Pendleton institution. Neither Carne-
gle nor any other conscience stricken
trust magnate will have strings upon
the institution. 1t will be our library
to conduct as we please.
Furthermore the site suggested for
the proposed Carnegie library is open
to grave objection. The tract is small
and 1t would be an architectural blum
der to erect large public building
there when there is SO much room
elsewhere. Besides the library should
remain south of the river since three
fourths the population Of the city is
TO be found south of the river and all
of the business section.

The Cabinet. port seems assured If
it proves correct it will
show that Wilson proposes to stand
as president just where he stood
when he was a candidate for presi-
dent. He will not go into office un-
der progressive colors and then turn
his back on the progressive forces by
naming a reactionary cabinet as did
Taft.
If Wilson names Bryan to head HE
cabinet he will show splendid judg-
ment Bryan is preeminently the
strong man of the democratic party.
He has such a tremendous following
in both parties that his selection as
secretary of state will add further
popularity to the coming administra-
ton. 1t will help nightly in doing
what Wilson has set out to do-make
the democratic party in fact as well
as in name the liberal party of the
nation and keep it such. 1t does not
matter in the slightest that the Sc
lection of Bryan will displease some
reactionary democrats. 1t is essential
TO Wilson's success that he humble
the tories OF his party and keep them
humbled. Such a condition of affairs
is also an essential to continued DEM
ocratic ascendency.

U. S. Cattle and Beef
Exports Are Falling

WASHINGTON, April Decrease
in the meat supply available for eX-
portation is sharply illustrated by the
February report figures just compiled
by the statistical division Of the Blu
reau Of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce.
They show the number Of cattle eX-
ported in the eight months ended with
February. 1918. was only II. $50 head.
against 270.2l9 head in the CORE
spending months Of 1907, and the
quantity of fresh beef exported only
4.700,047 pounds, against 49, 500, 649
pounds in the, cores pOnding months
Of 1907. Shortage in the expectations
is due. In part, at least to an actual
reduction in the number of cattle in
the United States.
Still another evidence Of the demand
in the United States for an increa Sc
in its cattle supply Is found in the
figures of the Department of Com
merCe. which show an enormous in
crease in the importation of cattle. the
number imported into the United
States in the eight months ended with
February. 1918, being 222, 900 head,
against $500 head in tire correspond

Moreover. the number Of cattle on
