use of them has been given to
Negroes. But when the mum.
ber OF white families shall
equal these there shall be
more for the Negroes. When
this country shall have I5o.-
ooo.o 900 whites, millions Of
peoples will have to leave it !.
There will be in the future as
great an emigration from this
country, as there has been to
it.
This is an experience every

thing that keeps population
down, and every country
reaches a conviction from o.
yer population in which a
stranger could not be tolerat-
ed in it. At present Mr.. Bruce
you and your people have a
certainty, a great country. 1t
would be hard to find or make
another. The whites are con
spired to keep the Negroes in
such an anomalous political
and social relation as will
make it easily practicable at
any day tofreeze out your de
cendants. Ask yourself the
question. even did they not
drive you out how could you
stay here with ninety percent
Of the race starving? 1t could
not be? Why the streets of
city in England hold each
thousands of unemployed. and
one third of England's popu-
lation are supported by the
public purse. | say to you if
you remain atranger in this
country for IS years more you
will be frozen out altogerher.
This is a serious matter that
calls for an awakening and
settlements by the Negro peo
pie. 1t will be easier to keep
a country for your descend :
ants than to get one. During
the administration Of MIR. Taft
you should have taken steps
to secure the repeal of all the
exclusions which mark you a
as a stranger" and demand
ed recognition of your mem
bership in the American fam

p. S.-You can readily see
that if originally 5000, 1000 Ne
groes had been allowed to
transmit 100000 acres to
their descendants to add to
and transmitthis in the course
Of 200 wears, they would have
owned fully half the country.
Likewise if even 100000
mulattocs inherited in white
estates in the course Of 100 to
200 years they would have in
herired and accumulated to-
gethcr $Io.ooo,ooo,ooo of
white property which through
their blyod ties. would have
descended to Negroes or been
transferred by irtermarriages
So early the most important
of all questions the whites
faced was that of keeping Ne

l will not go back to the
causes of colonization. You
we'll know that were all the
millions of English who are
settled in Canada. the United
States, Australia. India, South
Africa, they would starve.
They would never have been
born had their progenltors
been forced to stay in Eng
land.
a.. The fact is that so strong is
the force OF provocation. that
any one race Of mankind
would quickly populate the
earth. What keeps down pop
ulation is want of means to
feed the children. So long as
there is abundant means to
feed them marriages are early
and prolific of offspring, and
population increases in geo
metric ratio. SO soon as the
population equal the means
of subsistence it is held to a
fixed number by reduction
of marriage and diseases OF
privation. So we'll have Eur
opean Countries learned this
fact, that has become fixed
in the science of political e
economy as the Law of NAL
thus which says that the pop
ulation of any country will out
grow its means. Every coun-
try in Europe has had to COL
onize its excess population.
For several hundred years
the United States, being un-
developed has afforded settle
ment to these excess popula-
tions of Europe resulting in a
period of immigration. But
all those white people, who
.colonized America knew that
we're the United States ten
times as big as it is, in time it
would fill up and overflow
with population, as does
Europe. Then will come a
period of emigration from
this country.
Against such a day Of eX-
cess white population the
whites have made the most
stringent provision that Ne.
groes shall have simply the
right of tenants only in the
country not the right Of liens.
All the practices and discrim-
nations against Negroes since
3os, have been for the pur-
pose and holding them in the
the public character of So
journing aliens Of no heredi

IF HAIR IS TURNING
 GRAY, USE SAGE TEA
Don't Look Old! Try Grandmother's Recipe to Darken and Beautify
 Gray, Faded, Lifeless Hair.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti- fully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appear ance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. By asking at any drug store for "Wyeths Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy" you will get a large bottle of this old-time recipe, ready to use, for about 50 cents. This simple mixture can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair and is splendid for dan druff, dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
 A well-known druggist says every body uses Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur. because it darkens so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell 1t has been applied-it's so easy to use, too. You simply dampen a comb or soft brush and draw it through your hair, taking one strand at time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after an other application or two, 1t is re- stored to it's natural color and looks glossy, soft and abundant .-Adv.

NO BUREAU OF INFORMATION
Stranger Possibly Resented Fact That He Had Been Caused Some Incon-
 venience to Ascertain Time.

 On one of the recent stormy nights a man was hastening home with his overcoat buttoned up to his neck. He was rather anxious to know what time it was, but he was too lazy to unbut- ton his coat in order to get at his watch.
 Just then he saw a man of we'll dressed appearance coming in the distance, and remarked to himself: I'll ask this gentleman the hour of the night, and so save myself the trouble of unbuttoning my coat
 He perceived that the stranger was buttoned up just as he was. When he came up, the man who wanted to know the time touched his hat politely and said:
 Sir, do you know what time it is?' The stranger paused, removed his right glove, umbuttoned his coat from top to bottom, unbuttoned his under coat, and finally pulled out his watch. while the cold wind beat against his unprotected chest
 Holding up the watch so that the light would shine upon it, he scrutin- ized it an instant, and said:
 s.Yes!'
 Then he passed on without another word

Birds increase During War.

Wild birds which were formerly shot as game have been increasing rapidly since the war in France, Bel gium and other countries, according to T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the National Association of Audubon So- cieties.
 For example, the French govern ment has stopped all hunting" he said and the minister of war has is- sued an order that the sale of native game would not be tolerated. Ordi- narily more than one thousand tons of native-killed game are sold annual ly in the markets of France, repre- senting many millions of game birds.
 Belgium in time of peace was one of the greatest bird-catching countries in Europe More than fifty thousand skylarks, as well as hundreds of thou sands of other birds, were annually trapped and exported from that coun- try for food.
