Most persons use all four at

been applied to individuals

today to races" because race
is a vague, unknow term which

is "Race?" and how many

a subject rather of philosoph-

I SSe OF NaCc Antd&OnlSIn.
I. 1t is an instructive re-
pulsion from something harm
full and is, therefore. a subtle
condition Of ultimate survival.
The difficulty with this the.
ory is that it does not square
with the facts: race antipathy
is not instructive but matter
| o: careful education. Black
and white children play to-
gether gladly and know no
prejudice until it is implanted
precept upon precept and by
strong social pressure; and
when it is so implanted it is
just as strong in cases where
there is no physical difference
as it is where physical differ
ences are striking. The raci :.
al repulsion in the Balkans
among peoples of practically
the same blood is today greai-
er than it was between whites
and blacks on the Virginia
plantations.
?. Racial sntagonism, whe
ther instructive or not. is a
reasonable measure of self :
defense against undesirable
racial traits.
This second proposition =
the one which usually follows
lcnneiul exarni lin M the
hret. After all. it IS admitted
instinct" is an unimportant
fact. Instincts are simply ac-
cumulated reasons in the in
dlvidual or in The race. The
reasons for antagonizing in
ferior races are clear and may
be summed up as follows:
Poor health and stamina.
Low ability.
Harmful ideals Of life.
We are now on surer ground
because we can now appeal to
facts. But no sooner do we
make this appeal than we are
astonished to find that there
are surprising little data: Is
it true that the Negro as a
physical animal is inferior to
the white man or is he super
ior? Is the high death rate OF
the Indian a proof of his poor
physique or is it proof of wret
ched conditions of life which
would long ago have killed off
a weaker people3 And. again
is spiritual superiority always
in direct proportion to physi-
cal strength in races any more
than Individuals Connect
ed with this matter of health
comes the question Of physi-
cal beauty, but surely, if beau
ty were to becomeI IA standard
of survival how small our
world population would be!
1t is argued. however. that
it may be granted that the
physical stamina of all races
is probably approximately the
same and that physical come :
illness is rather a matter of
taste and selection than of alb
solute racial difference. How
ever, when it comes to INTEL
ectual ability the races differ
so enormously that superior
races must in self-defense re-
pei the inferior sternly. even
brutally. Two things, how
ever. must be said in answer
to this: First. the prejudice
againstthe Jews, .s0e long aud
world wide Is susoly not based
The Denver star., 1914-09-05

on Inferior ability. Have only
70 hame Jeremiah D'Israeli
and esus Christ to set our
minds at rest on that point.
Moreover. if we compare the
intellectual ability of Teuton
and Chinese which is inferior? !?
Or. if we take Englishman
apd Bantu, is the difference a
difference of native ability or
of training and environment? !?
The answer to this simple:
We do not know. But argu-
ing from all known facts and
analogies we must certainly
admit in the words of the sec
retAry Of the First Internal.
ional Race Congress. and ian
impartial investigator would
be Inclined to look upon the
'vafsons important peoples of
tisE world as, to all intents and
purposes, essentially equals in
intellect, enterprise, morality
aad physique.
5. Racial antipathy is a
method of Race Develop
ment.
We may admit SO far as
| p6ysique and native ability go.
& Il as Ratzel SAYS: There
~ lllll Sfe 62s
do not 60 deep" At the same
timeit is plain that Europe
has ont stripped China in civil
lization. and China has out
stripped Africa. Here at least
are plain facts. Is not racial
antipaty a method of main
tanning the European level OF
cultures But is it necessary
for the runner to hate and
despise the man he is out-dis.
tancinQ! Can we only main
tain culture in one race by in.
creasing barbarism in others
Does it enhance the "superi-
ority" of white men to allow
them 10 steal from yellow men
and enslave black men and re.
duce colored women to CON
cubinage and prostitution
Surely not. Admitting that in
the worlds history again and
again this or that race has
out-stripped another in cult
ture. it is impossible to prove
that inherent racial SUPERIOR.
ty was the cause or that the
level of culture has been per
manently raised in one race
by keeping other races down.
4. Race antipathy is me-
thod of group specialization,
This argument admits the
essential equality of races bu,
insists on the difference in
gifts and argues that anti
pathy between races allows
each to develop its own pecu-
liar gifts and aptitudes. Does
it? That depends on the
"antipathy." If tipathy
means the enslaving of the
African. the exploitation OF
the Chinese. the peonage OF
MexicAns and the denial oi
schools to American Negroes
then it is hard to see where
the Encouragement" comes
in. If it means the generous
encouragement of all men &C :

Gatun Locks Completed First.
The Gatun locks were completed
first. and have been 80 thoroughly
tested that early in June the "Alli-
anca." one Of the passenger steamers
belonging TO the Panama Railroad
fleet. made round trip through the
locks. This experiment. however. was
not as Interesting as the using Of the
locks as a dry dock for the fleet of
submarines. These little boats, five In
number. were completely submerged
while the filling process was going on.
They rested on specially constructed
cradles directly over the culvert open
inys in the lock floor. The water came
in with considerable force but the well
filled ballast tanks of each vessel held
rhem in position. The water was aft
.rwa rds let out and the work OF re-
pairs completed on the boats. The
ballast was then removed. the locks
refilied, and tho little boats sailed out
to their post at the Atlantic entrance
of the canal. This is the first time
such n ties. has been made.
The Gatun locks are each 1c90 feet

two are used to keep the ship from
humping the sides of the locks. In
climbing from lock to lock they run
on an inclined cogwheel track. no
vessel will be allowed to go through
the locks under her own steam.
Another bit of interest in lockaGe
was the towing of Il cargo of piles
through the Mirahores locks. The
cargo came down the Pacific from
Seattle and anchored off Balboa. The
piles were lowered into the water and
Iashcd together. They were then
:owed through the canal in RATS. The
water in the Miratiores locks was
brought up to the level OF Mrafiores
Lake for the first time during this eX-
pertinent. The electric locomotives
kept the RATS In position and brought
them through without once humping
