knows its business it will do more
than it has done in giving the negro
better treatment than he has been re-
ceiving, for there is a time coming If
it is not now here, when the South
will need his labor as it has never
needed it before. One of the chief
causes of unrest of the negro popula-
ton in the Southland is the lack Of
adequate protection under the law. 1t
is vastly to the interest, the selfish in
terest of the South to extend to the
colored people better protection under
the law and provide better educational
facilities for them. We believe the
Southern. white people are beginning
to see the common interest between
them and the black race, and that bet
ter times are ahead for the negro. At
least let US hope so.

PROOF OF AN OBSERVATION.

The New York Times gives editor
ial endorsement to the, new revenue
schemes of the Wilson administration,
which has been forced into an e1trem-
ity of new taxation by its inefficient
and uneconomic policies. 1t swallows
the whole programme without chok-
ing on the proposed bond issues, an
other constitutional failing of Demo
cratic rule. 1t affects to see nothing
but wisdom in the evasions OF In
creasing the tariff rates to n revenue
basis, at least. 1t is somewhat Singh
lar that The Times has so soon for
gotten its admissions when it, with
the other papers Of the country con-
coded Mr.. Hughes election on the
night Of November last. 1t is some
what cruel, but we cannot refrain
from recalling what it said editorially,
rather jubilantly We thought, in its is
sue of November 8: "The Republican
legend is still vital, like the Napole-
onic legend it survives death and dis
aster, it's power, though diminished,

legs grew handy beneath the grevious
load. All winter I've been eating. with
this excuse or that, and now I'm sad
ly bleating because am so fat. Witt
in me there's a riot, my works are out
Of plumb, and I will have TO diet for
weary months to come. I'll have to get
up early, and walk Il hundred miles.
what wonder if I'm surly, and short on
sunny smiles? For months III have TO
swallow the doctors noXious pills, and
his instructions follow. and also pay
his bills. The grief Is everlasting that
festive seasons bring: 'twere better il

If We would cease to swallow the
Christmas cakes and pies, and keep
our persons hollow, methinks 'twouid
be more wise.

"panhandle Communication. the re-
Gently founded organ OF the wheeling
Commercial Association, note an
article under the above caplloh. II

AS one of the objects Of abuse anu
misrepresentation. ! want to say en-
phatically. though ii may he unncccs-

grossly exaggerated. except possibly as
10 our streets. However, that Is another
story for others to narratc and perhaps
this rntn nc to our schools Is unneceS-
Sary. but 1t seems a shame TO make
