The report that the japanese gov
eminent is considering the placing OF
an army in Siberia may have had its
source in the wish that is father to The
thought, but if the plan were carried
out it would be a very effective help to
the cause of the allies, and a very Sc
rious obstacle to the designs of the
imperial German government. The Ger
man occupation of Siberia would bring
the menace of imperialistic Germany
very near to Japan and it is possible
that the instinct of self-preervation
may induce her to undertake military
operations in Siberia. The United
States did not get into the war until
fully aroused to the necessity of doing
something for its own sake. The in
stinct OF self-preservation came along
after while and ranged itself on the
side of more altmistic motives for en-
tering the war. Japan was beforehand
with a formal declaration, but since i
took possession of detached piece o.
territory over which the German fla.
flew its part has been as furnisher o
munitions to Russia rather than as ~
active participant.

GET YOUR GARDEN READY

Back yard and vacant lot gardening in
creased the food stuff output in this coun-
try more than million dollars last year,
and the work was done while the men were
resting after hard days labor. This year
the million dollar mark should be doubled
and then some. The most of the public
works all over the country have adopted
the eight hour system, which gives the en-
ployes at least four hours each day to cul-
tivate garden, and if the ground is prop
erly fertilized and then properly cultivated
the regulation back yard lot can be made to
produce enough vegetables to maintain the
ordinary family not only during the summer
months, but, if properly conserved, the
most of the winter. Each plot of ground or
back yard garden should be cultivated on
the intensified plan, that is, first highly
fertilize, then as soon as one thing comes up
and is a week old plant something else be-
tween the rows of the growing produce and
by continuing that process there will al
ways be something maturing Now is the
proper time to begin your preliminary gar
den work In the Italian settlements of this
city, gardening has already been begun.
Every family in the city with a ffty-foot
lot has ground enough to grow sufficient
vegetables, if properly conserved, to keep
it going the most Of the year. When every
body raises the most Of the vegetables they
need for their own table use then the coun-
try will be prepared to withstand seige of
the nations of the world. And the sooner
we get in the habit Of depending on our
selves instead of some thieving trust for
our food supply the sooner will this be a
purely independent and fearless govern
ment. But back to the city garden-it is
time, dear reader, for you to begin getting
your ground ready for your spring garden
1t matters not how cheap vegetables are, it
is impossible to buy them as cheaply as you
can grow them

In some of the states of the South the old
confederate flag is being draped along with
the Stars and Stripes, and yet those COM
hitting such a patriotic sacralidge claim to
have the good of this country at heart. No
person who recognizes the rebel bars and
stripes of the South, which was the ensign
of the most damnable rebellion that has
ever been recorded in history, has spark
of patriotism within his bosom. If Theodore
Roosevelt was president of the United
States the man who placed that rebel rag
beside the Stars and Stripes would die the
death Of a dog and he ought to.

IS 1T ADVISABLE

In our opinion the proposition submitted
by Gustave b. Aldrich of Tacoma in an
other column hereof, in which he argues for
a race congress to meet continuously in
Washington City, while the regular United
States Congress is in session, is no less
gigantic undertaking than the proposition
to transport all of the colored folks in this
country back to Africa the fatherland Of
their anceters. To maintain such con-
gress as he proposes and to defray the ex-
penses Of the same would soon run into the
millions of dollars and to depend on men,
bership fee Of twenty-five cents per year to
raise that amount would require every col
ored person in the United States to become
paid-up members which would never be-.
But should enough money be raised to fl
nance the proposition it still has another
feature that would either kill the PROPOSE
ton or result in the killing Of all the col
ored folks in this country. It would mean
that the white and colored folks of the
United States would be arrayed against
each other and the two congresses would
in way become rival bodies the one to
legislate against and the other to legislate
for, and it would only be a question of
time, when fatal clash between the two
would be registered We have in the past
argued that it is impossible to build up
black republic in the midst of white re-
public, as the dOmineering class would
sooner or later suppress the weaker. We
have further argued that the white and
black folks will never live peacably to-
gether in this or any other country, and
that the weaker would be lost either from
absorption or violent extinction. The col
ored folk of the United Sttaes will sooner
or later in our opinion be absorbed by the
whites, which will result in Mongrel peo-
pie. like unto the Latin races of Europe,
which in the ages past came from the ANAL
gamation Of white and black folks The ab-
sorption of the black folks in this country
by the white folks is already progressing
more rapidly than most of us have any idea
Of unless we have given the matter an un.
biased investigation. It is going to continue
even more rapidly than it is now doing
and for either the white or black folks to
build walls to prevent the spread of the
amlagamation virus is but making trouble
for their children Of tomorrow. There are
many things in the interest of the colored
folks of this country that representative
body of educated colored men could do, if
stationed at Washington City, but to or
ganize a semi-legislative body along the

A MILLION DOLLAR RESIDENCE

1t is reliably reported that Nine. Walker,
she of much hair traightening fame, with
an expert furniture salesman as her ad-
wiser, spent few days in Grand Rapids,
Michigan selecting the furniture, which is
being made to order, for her new home in
New York on the Hudson. It is further
reported that the home with it's fittings,
frocks and frills, will cost million dollars,
when it is fully completed. Because Nine.
Walker is colored person is no reason why
she has not the same right to live in mil
lion dollar mansion as has John D. Rockefel-
ler or any other white person in this or any
other country, but, taking the general con-
ditions of the colored folk in this country
into consideration, does it show good judg
ment? million dollars invested in an in
dustrial plant which would give employ
ment to a hundred thousand cOlOred men,
women and children, would add thousand
times brighter star to Nine. Walkers crown
than the living in million dollar home, en-
tirely too fine for but few if any colored
folks to visit, and it's owner being distinctly
colored, will not be visited by any white
PERSONS save those Of curious mind. Rookie
feller's million dollar home is not appreci-
ated by the whites and Nine. Walkers will
be more out of place than his and that is
saying good DEAL The colored folk of the
change just now and it is the duty Of the
leaders to put forth their best efforts to
get them ready to meet the changed con-
ditions that seem to be already dawning.
The coming will be a mechanical age and
the colored person with the means and tai
ent to prepare large numbers of young col
ored men and women to play their part,
good and true, in this coming mechanical
age, will be the ones whose memories will
be revered for ages yet to come. The world
takes off it's hat to the late Booker 7.

MILITARY FUNERAL
TALKED FOR SCOTT

Fred w. Scott OF Platora is the first
soldier from Humboldt county to die
in the service of his country. He
passed away yesterday at the army
hospital, Hoffman Island, New York.
The cause of death was pneumonia.
The distressing news came in a tele-
gram to his mother, Mrs. Thomas
Scott, from the commanding officer
and was forwarded to her over the
UNIT. Company's line. The tele-
gram asked that directions be given
as to where the remains were to be
shipped. The heartbroken mother III
rected that her sons body be sent to

the county, who have resided at Pia-
tora, near Rebel Greek, for many

Miss Lehr was born in Austria, but

leading actors of the day.
In THE Grafters" she is seen as a
confederate of a gang of crooks. and
is placed on the trial of a young fei-
low who has just fallen heir to several
millions. Unconsciously she grows to
care for him, but the power of the
gang is too great for her to resist and
she is compelled to continue with the
blaekmail plot The boy finally learns
of the game she is playing. Never
