BARBARISM IN
 AFRICA-AND ITS REWARD

In Damaraland, between the years 1904 and 1907, as the consequence of the killing of a single child, the Ger mans wantonly did to death 300Oo Hereros, a simple pastoral tribe of scant fighting capacity. Never since Nero and Atti1a had there been a par aI1el to Won THotha's infamous order Aof exterminatioh.
 t'Within German borders" read the proclamation of this Teutonic bar barian, f'every Herero, with or with out rifle, with or without cattle, will be shot. I will take no more women or children. I will drive them back or have them fired on.,'
 For several years Germany seemed actually to be trying to make Damar- aland a white mans country" by killing off the blacks. It has reaped in failure the harvest of this sowing of brutality.
 In the Transvaal and Orange Free State, on the other hand, we see a spirited, brave. and patriotic people left crushed, bleeding, and inpover- ished by war which they were not without much warrant in believing to have been forced upon them unjustIy ed into Defenders of the Realm by a policy of broad humanitarianisn The consequences of these two diver gent policies now stand recorded for the wor1d-aand especially for the Germans-to read-Lewis R.

western ocean, the following sum-
mary being deduced from the facts
obtained:
First-Practicaly all of those
elected or appointed who receive
$4,000 and over and most of those
getting $4,000, can be substituted by
the purchase of a rubber stamp, an
economy to the taxpayers of the diff
ference between the cost of the stamp
and the salaries now paid.
Second-Most of the talent for or
ganization and the ability for super
vision lie with the first and second
assistants receiving $4,000 to $4,000
a year in direct opposition to the
overplayed slogan that big salaries
must be paid to secure efficiency"
Third-Practically all the real de-
votion, steadfastness and tireless in
dustry connected with all public
Offices in every state and city is found
among those receiving from $500 to
81 200 per year, and it is these lat
