NATIVES OF ENEMY NATIONS
IN AMERICA 4,662,OOO
Census Bureau Issues Report on Num-
Der of Germans, Austrians, Turks
and Bulgarians in United States.

Washington, d. c., June 1S.-The
natives of Germany, Austria Hungary,
Bulgaria and Turkey now residing in
the United States aggregate approx
mately 4,662,000, or about ~ per cent
of the total population of the country.
The foregoing total is announced by
Director Sam. l.. Rogers, of the Bu-
reau of the Census, department, of
commerce, as the result of a calcula-
ton based on the census figures of
1910, the reports of the bureau of inn
migration for the period between 1910
and the present time, and the estimat-
ed mortality during that period. AL
though it is not possible by this meth
cd to. determine with absolute exact
ness the number of natives of the
countries named now living in the
United States, it is believed that the
results obtained represent a reason
ably close approximation to the facts.
These 4,662.000 foreigners are dis
tributed, according to country, Of birth.
Cayton's weekly. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1916-1921, 1917-07-28

President Leonard of the Traction Com
pany may be having his own way so far as
the company's end of the strike goes, but
there is no denying that, he has things to
think about these hot days.
AS the summer grows hotter, "What to
wear and how to wear it, does not greatly
disturb the Summer girl'' because she
wears so little that it gives her little or no
concern as to how and where she wears it.
1T is estimated that the products of the
extra gardens in this country will amount
to So, 100000 Now if the trusts will just
not make us pay for having raised this
amount Of stuff, the poor people will be
greatly benefited .
= The listed properties of the Labor Tenn
pie and it's allied companies would, in our
opinion, be darn poor security to back a
jitney service, which might at any time be
sued for twice the amount the Labor Tenn
pie offers for general security It's
simply silly.
Seattle has been at the mercy of the law
yers Of the states of Washington, Oregon
and British Columbia for the most of the
week ending and if the Smith, the Hoge and
the Alaska Buildings are still in the city
when they are gone then these particular
lawyers will not have kept up the reputa-
ton of lawyers in general, to take every
thing in sight

THE PASSING OF Jim CROW"
(By w. E. Burghardt Du Bois)

Urged by the Negroes "best friends" in
the South, Americans continually assume
that he is exceptional and does not respond
to the ordinary impulses Of human nature
or to the ordinary laws of economic change.
Ii he is enslaved, we are assured that he
likes slavery and is fitted for nothing else;
yet his systematic running away from slav-
cry and attempted revolts precipitated
Civil War in which 100000 black men
fought for freedom. When freedom and
education were offered the Negro his neigh
bors who 'knew him best" assured us that
he could never become a free workingman
and that it was impossible to educate him.
When the Negro became free worker
and reduced his illiteracy two-thirds we
were assured by the best opinion of the
South that the "second generation Of
young Negroes were naught but criminal
spendthrifts who must be curbed by peon-
age, extraordinary vagrancy laws, a rigid
caste system, and occasional lynching.
When remarkable accumulation of lands
and property, and the rise Of black men Of
ability and insight proved all these dogmas
OF the white South to be mainly unproven
assumptions born Of slavery the South dog
gedly answered by series of disfranchis-
ing and "Jim- Crow laws.
Under such circumstances what would
one expect the Negro to do? Leave the
South and Southern conditions? But for
years he apparently did not leave and the
South cried triumphantly: ''He loves the
SOUTH He does not want to vote! He
knows that he is inferior!'
Was this true? Let us see.
Slavery meant fixed place Of labor and
fixed employers. The most effective revolt
against slavery was the Underground Rail
road for fugitives organized by Negroes and
whites in the ffties This was the first mi
grafton of Negroes and it added consider
able numbers to the Northern Negro popu-
lation. The most effective result of Enamel
patton was to accelerate this movement sud-
denly and to send the freed men not only
northward but to various neighboring
states.
In 1880, sixteen per cent Of the Negro
population, that is, over 100000 persons,
were living in states where they were not
born this migrating population increased
100000 between 1880 and 1890. Between
1890 and 1900 it increased still faster,
reaching in the latter year 100000. Be-
tween 1900 and 1910 it increased 100000,
so that in 1910 larger proportion of our

SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease of the Kidneys.

The close connection which exists
between the heart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cause is often given as heart disease, or
disease of brain or lungs.
1t is a good insurance against such q
risk to send 10 cents for a large trial
package of rAnuric the latest dis

sample of your water. This will be

chemists at DIR. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
