Booker T. Washington, in a letter
to the Negro people, makes these
timely suggestions:
There are 100000 colored famil-
les who live on farms or in villages.
or small towns. OF this number, at
the present time, 100000 have no
pigs. 1 want to ask that each family
raise at least one pig this fall. Where
one or more pigs are already owned
| want to ask that each family raise
one additional pig this fall
AS soon as possible, l want to ask
that this plan be followed by the or
ganization of a pig club in every COM
munity where one does not already
exist. l want to ask that the matter
be taken up at once through famil-
les, schools, churches and societies,
farmers institutes, business leagues,
etc.
THE average pig is valued at about
five dollars. II each family adds only
one pig, in a few months at the pres
ent prices for hogs, $40 would be add
ed to the wealth of the owner, and
$14 100000 to the wealth of the col
ored people. If each family adds two
pigs, it would have in few months
$40 more wealth, and $2S,000,000
would be added with which to pro-
mote the welfare of the race during
the money stringency created by the
European war"
The pig club" idea is one that the
Negroes of the South should embrace.
At this time all farmers of the South
are discussing the problem which an
enforced reduction of the cotton area
has precipitated, and it is generally
agreed that hogs and the feed crops
necessary to maintain them will be
the most profitable substitute for cot
ton. There is no doubt that the
white farmers will as far as possible
pay more attention to hogs hereafter
than they ever have before, and the
Negro farmers are just as much inter
ested in the hog question as others.
The Negro farmers have made
much progress during the past quar-
ter of a century but they have usual
ly suffered from the same causes
which have impoverished the white
farmers, the chief of which is the fail
ure to raise on the farm what is con
sumed at the farm table. Out of the
present dilemma the South ought to
emerge the greatest meat-producing
region of the world, and this OBJ
jective will certainly be reached If the
100000 Negro families take Wash
ington's advice and organize pig clubs
in every village and farm community
The South will have all her agricul
tural problems pretty well settled
when the southern farmers live al
home" 1t will be the most prosper
GUS region Of the United States, and
we shall soon see the end of the ten
ant system, the credit system and all
the old systems which have kept SO
many thousands impoverished

gested zeal and practical religion as
a panacea for the ills of the sect.

was wrong with its ideas, otherwise

Business is on a lively revival. The
country is beginning to feel the slim
illus of the vast wealth to be realized
from the enormous crops. which are
finding ready markets at high prices.
The farmers will be spending humid
reds Of millions OF dollars more than
ever before. They have commenced
already. Their crops are worth six
hundred million dollars more than
those Of last year.
Added to this natural good fortune
OF big crops at high prices is the ex-
ception demand for American manu-
featured goods, caused by the clos
ing OF European sources of supply.
South America, Australia. South
Africa. the East and West Indies and
all the neutral counties are sending
their buyers here.
Boise is going to share in these
good times also With the Barber
Lumber Company's new railroad
completed in short time and their
mill running new pay--roll will be
established that Boise has never en-
joyed before. $4,000 has been ap-
propriated for an addition to the post
office and other business buildings are
being planned. That the Boise-Win-
nenucca Railroad will be under con-
struetion in short time is almost an
assured fact The wheels Of COM
merce will soon be spinning and now
IS the time to prepare for the best
times we have enjoyed for years.

TuRN ON THE LIGHT.

IUkN ON The LIGHT.
From the quiet manner in which
the passage Of the Clayton bill was
received BY the press Of the nation it
might seem to those who have not
studied the measure that it was but
piece Of ordinary legislation sop
to the workingmen. But when the
real meaning OF the law is understood
by all it cannot but be regarded as
one Of the most just pieces Of legis-
lation that was ever consummated at
the national capital
BY the Interpretation Of judges
(and wholly against the intent Of the
framer) the Sherman antitrust law
had been held to lie against organiza-
tions of workmen, and the labor of
human being was therefore nothing
more or less than a commodity-an
article Of commerce. That such was
the case, the wording Of the law clear
lly indicates:
"That the labor of human being
is not commodity or article of COM
merce. Nothing contained in the
antitrust laws shall be construed to
forbid the existence and operation OF
organizations, instituted for the pur-
pose of mutual help, and not having
capital stock or conducted for profit,
or to forbid or restrain individual
members of such organizations from
lawfully carrying out the legitimate
objects thereof; nor shall such or
negotiations or the members thereof,
be held or construed to be illegal COM
binations or conspiracies in restraint
of trade, under the antitrust laws"
The language is clear-cut and is
susceptible of but one construction.
We can now carry on our legitimate
and worthy work without the fear of
annoyance from our enemies.
There is not and will not be, any
disposition on the part of organized
labor to be "chesty' over the passage
of the Clayton bill No advantage
will be taken of its protecting inhu
ence or provisions. We think Presi-
dent Wilson pretty nearly voiced the
sentiment of all those concerned
when, in writing to Representative
Underwood, he said:
Incidentally, justice has been done
the laborer, his labor is no longer to
be treated as if it were merely an in
animate object of commerce, discon-
Injected from the fortunes and happi-
ness of living human being, to be
dealt with as an object of sale and
barter, But that. great as it is. is
hardly more than the natural and
inevitable corollory of a law whose
object is individual freedom and init
alive as against any kind of private
domination
The words of Abraham Lincoln
must have rung in the cars of those
legislators as they were casting their
ballots which crystallized into law
such just enactment. Lincoln said:
Capital is the fruit of labor, and
could not exist if labor had not first
existed. Labor, therefore. deserves
much the higher consideration"
It has always been the contention
of the workers that human rights
should receive prior and higher con-
sideration than property rights. That
such will be the rule henceforth is.
indeed, a healthy indication
